[BitP:R] Soul Society

[horngeek]

She smiles, takes his hand, and stands up with his assistance. "Yeah, let's."

[The Librarian]

Katisugo tips his hat to the Kyasarin
Good Evening, Kyasarin-chan.

[Viera Champion]

Hello Katisugo. I had a question for you. But one of my squad officers wants to talk to me.

Sure Hiduechi. What is it?

[Dorizzit]

Hideuchi's arms are folded defensively over his chest, and he is clearly unhappy with himself for what he is about to do.

"We never got a chance to finish our match."

[The Librarian]

Katisugo grins taking another sip of tea.
I can wait.

[Viera Champion]

Kyasarin grins.
Oh my. How could I forget? We could start where we left off, me about to knee you in the stomach.
She gives him a playful wink.

[CMOTDibbler]

Katisugo grins taking another sip of tea.
I can wait.

Myojin turns to Katisugo, and smirks.
You're drinking tea. I remember when you used to drown yourself in sake.

[Dorizzit]

"Ha. Ha ha. Ha. You're funny."

Hideuchi's face and tone indicate a total lack of amusement. With a blurred motion, his practice daggers appear in his hands. He flips them easily into a reverse grip and assumes a defensive stance.

"And you're free to try."

[The Librarian]

Myojin turns to Katisugo, and smirks.
You're drinking tea. I remember when you used to drown yourself in sake.

Katisugo smiles offering some to Myojin.
I still do sometimes...just not as often since Misaki was born.

[tgva8889]

She smiles, takes his hand, and stands up with his assistance. "Yeah, let's."

Taiki takes her other hand. "Can you dance?"

[CMOTDibbler]

Katisugo smiles offering some to Myojin.
I still do sometimes...just not as often since Misaki was born.

Of course. Oh, no thanks.

"Ha. Ha ha. Ha. You're funny."

Hideuchi's face and tone indicate a total lack of amusement. With a blurred motion, his practice daggers appear in his hands. He flips them easily into a reverse grip and assumes a defensive stance.

"And you're free to try."

Myojin turns, and sees Hideuchi.
Hey, this isn't a training ground. If you want to spar, you and the Vice Captain can go to the proper place.

[horngeek]

Natsuko chuckles. "Never danced in this condition before. But I can give it a try."

[The Librarian]

Of course. Oh, no thanks.

Katisugo shrugs putting the tea drink away after taking another drink.
Guess I'll walk with you for a while. Need to do anything that'll take me away from the beeping lights in the 12th labs all day.

[tgva8889]

Natsuko chuckles. "Never danced in this condition before. But I can give it a try."

Taiki smiles comfortingly. "We'll start slow, then." He puts one of her hands on his shoulder and takes the other in his left hand, and starts to step in a circle.

[horngeek]

She follows the steps quite well, smiling at him.

[Kuroimaken]

Of course. Oh, no thanks.


Myojin turns, and sees Hideuchi.
Hey, this isn't a training ground. If you want to spar, you and the Vice Captain can go to the proper place.

At Katisugo's request, Kazuma offers a brief nod. "I think I'll settle for -san*, thank you."

"Ain't no Hollow that will wait till you're at a proper battlefield. We can expect them not to vaporize the surroundings, after all, so this is as good a spot as any." Kazuma chuckled.

The 8th seat puffed a little more off his pipe.

"When you're done with him, Kyasarin-fukutaicho, would you honor me with a quick bout as well?"

((* It is worth noting that -kun assumes that you're either VERY close as a friend to the person you speak to, or the adressee is someone of your degree of status or lower, such as a subordinate, that you do not wish to address by -san, which implies a certain degree of respect or reverence. Katisugo wouldn't have any trouble addressing Kazuma as -kun, but the other way around would imply serious break in protocol. Like Taiki and Natsuko calling themselves by their pet names in front of the commander. ))

[tgva8889]

She follows the steps quite well, smiling at him.

Taiki looks Natsuko in the eyes, smiling himself. "I'm glad we had this night."

[The Librarian]

((A valid point))

Katisugo shrugs at Kazuma.
Whatever works for you Kazuma.
He then turns to Kyasarin and her potential combatant.
I don't really care where you all fight. Just don't make too much of a mess; its more work for me and 12th to do.

[horngeek]

She grins. "Me too. Just us... the baby, no other distractions."

[Viera Champion]

"Ha. Ha ha. Ha. You're funny."

Hideuchi's face and tone indicate a total lack of amusement. With a blurred motion, his practice daggers appear in his hands. He flips them easily into a reverse grip and assumes a defensive stance.

"And you're free to try."

No no, you had your chance. I was basicaly beating you anyway, but now is my relaxing period, and I'm not gonna waste it.

She turns to Katisugo.
You mind if I walk with you. I still have those questions for you.

[CMOTDibbler]

At Katisugo's request, Kazuma offers a brief nod. "I think I'll settle for -san*, thank you."

"Ain't no Hollow that will wait till you're at a proper battlefield. We can expect them not to vaporize the surroundings, after all, so this is as good a spot as any." Kazuma chuckled.

Eh, fair enough, but Katisugo is correct. Try not to break too much... Hm.
Myojin turns back to Katisugo, and cracks his neck.
You know, I haven't sparred in a while. You up for it, Katisugo?

[tgva8889]

She grins. "Me too. Just us... the baby, no other distractions."

Taiki looks up into the sky. By this point, the stars are visible. "How long have we been out here?"

[horngeek]

She chuckles. "Oh, my... it's been that long?"

[tgva8889]

"Do you think we should start heading back?"

[horngeek]

"Yeah... I suppose we should head back home now."

[tgva8889]

Taiki smiles. "Alright. Do you want to go on ahead? I'll clean everything up here and meet you at the edge of the field."

[horngeek]

Natsuko nods, and starts to walk back!

[tgva8889]

Taiki begins putting everything away, then when Natsuko has gone past the grove, he walks to the opposite end, pulls a single blossom from the tree above, and places it at the foot of the tree. With his other hand, he brushes the dirt off of a small stone slab, which reads:

This tree planted in memory of Masachika Ai
Whose heart was born of blossoms.

"May you rest, Ai."

A moment later, he meets Natsuko at the edge of the grove, smiling and carrying the wrapped-up blanket, the basket, and the now-folded lawn chair.

[horngeek]

Natsuko is waiting at the edge of the grove for him.

[tgva8889]

Taiki leads them back to Sereitei, back to their house.

"I hope you had a pleasant evening, my love."
