Title: too much thinking is not good for ones mind [Open]
Setting: Division 8. [morning]
Summary: Taking a short break, Aiba sits down in front of Division 8 and thinks over things.

Aiba's mind was still swirling with excitement over the question his lover had dropped on him a few days ago. Having been rather, intoxicated that night, he'd almost thought he dreamed the entire thing. That is until he sobered up and Sho had confirmed it. He wondered how he would go about telling Jun. Did he need permission? It wasn't usual for a lieutenant of one division to move into another. It was all he could think about to a point where he couldn't think straight. Which was why he needed to take a break, having gotten absolutely nowhere with the stack of papers that he left sitting on the desk in the office.

He needed to clear his mind, as much as he was ecstatic about living with his lover, he needed to do his work. Aiba could only hope that his Captain didn't see the pile of work still to do with him just sitting on the steps outside of the Division. Doing nothing. He had tried! That should have been something, right?

A wide smile appeared on his face as he titled his head up to look at the bright sky, a hand coming up to shade his eyes from the sunlight. His thoughts flickered over to the time he'd gone to the Human world. He missed it, and wanted to go back. However, with everything happening... The smile disappeared, brows furrowing as Aiba went over how quickly things seemed to be changing. The peace wasn't so peaceful any longer. It was only a matter of time before something big happened. Would he be ready? Would the soul society be prepared?

With a rather exaggerated, loud sigh, Aiba flopped backwards. Resting against the hard, cold surface at the top of the steps. It was too nice to be working anyways (he knew he used that excuse far too often).

Summary:


Saying his thanks to the cashier, Kusano sip on his coke and walked out of the minimart. He put on his shades and strolled down the streets, humming the song played in his ipod. When he turned left on the corner, he accidentaly bumped on somesone.

"Sorry." he said and was about to walk away when he realized who he had bumped into.

"ah, Takaki." He greeted the bount whom he had not seen for the past few days and whom he would be glad not to bumped into at that moment.  "It's... a coincidence ne.."

Title: To Settle Things Up
Reserved for: Arioka Daiki and Takaki Yuya
Summary: Daiki will change something between him and Takaki that he should say since a long time ago.

------

"Daiki-kun, you've changed,"
With his slow steps further from school, Daiki couldn't stop thinking about what his classmate told him earlier this morning.
Changed, huh..?
"True, true! I thought I was the only one who think that way! So you do realize it too!?" another classmate filled in.
Daiki blinked his eyes several times. Is it true? I thought running away from them will make them not realize something's wrong with me?
Daiki suddenly stopped. "So keep in silence doesn't mean you can hide your problems," he mumbled to himself.
A lot had going on inside Arioka family lately. School problems that Daiki had encountered, his Dad's sickness, and so on made him not only forced to keep in silence to made people thought nothing happened inside his family. Moreover when his Dad told him about moving to another country. Daiki never loves farewell. So he thought, silence is the best, which was now he regretted it.
He turned his steps and moved faster. "I should tell him I will move abroad... though I think it's already too late..." he almost ran to the shopping district. Though he's not sure whether Takaki is still in there or not.

Title:  Awkwardness to something
Setting: Minami's condo unit
Reserved for: Kato Shigeaki & Bages Minami
Summary: There's a bit awkward between the two and ends up with something.

His meeting with his group mates was over for the case study, and made his way home to rest and study later on and he felt that this day, wasn't complete for something and he doesn't  know why he's feeling like this, and there's nothing written over in his planner.

I wonder why am I feel incomplete. There's nothing wrong. I hate to think about these kind of things. All I know is to sleep, study and working over the case study. Arrrrggghhhh!!! It's so annoying.</i> he groaned in annoyance and a sudden a quick recall on his mind about the kiss happened yesterday at Minami's apartment. He doesn't even notice that he lost his route way home and his leads the way to Minami's condo.

Maybe that was it! I must see her. he thought that and stuttered at what he saw, he already standing on her condo.

He just pressed the doorbell and waits for her to opens the door.

Title: Four.
Setting: Along the riverbank again. :D Early morning.
Reserved for: Horikita Maki, Ikuta Toma, Toda Erika & Yamashita Tomohisa.
Summary: One + One + One + One = ? (YES, TOTALLY 15 SAI NO BLUES REFERENCE. o:)

The finger tip of her index finger was stuck deep in the river, the water flowing around it. Maki stared at her reflection, seeing changes, yet not recognising them. Everything was changing. She no longer felt safe, and there was a constant dash of cautiousness in her eyes. She could even see that in her reflection, and it was that that made her afraid the most. That, as things changed around her, she was changing with them.

Pulling her hand to her chest, she caressed the wet finger to her chest, then closed her eyes. She didn't want to see her reflection, because it scared her. Taking deep breaths, she started to concentrate. She might as well try her power out if she were to simply sit here.

Morimoto-san has told her as much - that she had power, but what he was teaching her wasn't using her power to the limit. In fact, what he taught her was only a hint of her power. Maki didn't really understand, though, because the session yesterday had exhausted her greatly. Concentrating, Maki slowly started to push her shield out; thicken her shield so that it would be useful against even stronger attacks.

The faint glow of red started to surround her body, and the satisfaction that it didn't exhaust her as much as yesterday made her smile.

Title: [reserved] Interaction?!
Setting: Minami's condo
Reserved for: Kato Shigeaki and Bages Minami
Summary: Minami got some help for her novel from Kato.


As her alarm rang loudly, Minami trailed her hand to her bed side table. She quickly turned it off the moment her hand managed to get the alarm clock. Sighing, Minami just sat up in her bed, finding her little chihuahua, Kuro-chan, already played around on the bed.

The morning was just like any other summer morning. With all the might she had, Minami lazily dragged her legs to the bathroom. She wasn't really that bad with morning, but it was 5.45am. Who the hell would wake up at 5.45am when they didn't have anything to do?!?! Yet, only after she washed her face and brush her teeth, she remembered why she woke up that early.

"Shit! Kato is coming!" she groaned at her self for forgetting.

With the speed of light, Minami took a quick shower and grab some random clothes she could find on her drawer. She didn't really have to be in such a rush, really. But well, she never had any friend that came over to her place. Okay maybe Aoi had been there once, but it was just for awhile.

Five fifty five am. Minami could finally breathe in relax. She had about five minutes before her kouhai arrived. Rubbing her growling stomach, Minami made her way to the kitchen to make some toast and coffee. Of course, she didn't forgot to feed her little Kuro-chan.

Title: Sensei!
Setting: Morimoto Ryutaro's house.
Reserved for: Horikita Maki and Morimoto Ryutaro
Summary: Ryutaro trains Maki on defending herself.

It took a lot of effort to convince herself that it would not be a mistake to go to this strange boy that claims himself older than her, before she finally found herself standing - with his card in hand - before a huge mansion. She was surprised. Of course she was. Because, for one, she never even knew that there was a mansion in Karakura Town, but also because of the fact that Morimoto-san was rich. Probably a lot richer than she could imagine him to be.

When she had came to the conclusion that she has nothing to lose, Maki was still doubtful, and that feeling was no different as she rang the bell for the intercom, nervously shuffling her feet. She couldn't help but wonder if he really is going to help her. What if he harms her instead? Although he had promised her that she wouldn't be harmed, she couldn't be sure...

Title: Early Autumn Pudding Cake[Reserved]
Setting: Kusano's condo (midnight)
Reserved for: Takaki Yuya and Kusano Hironori
Summary: Takaki decided to come over and bring his latest pudding cake

A huge smile was formed in his face. Finally, next cake of the season for DTree had been completed. Takaki had decided to make the bottom half from baked cake, while the top half from apple steamed pudding. Covered with toffee sauce, he was pretty sure that this cake would represent Autumn the best.

Yet, he wasn't kind of sure who to gave the huge big pudding cake too. The rest of the DTree stuffs were already left, while he was kind of sick of eating cake during all his previous trial attempts. Then, a name popped up in his mind.

Kusano.

Yeah. Probably he should just drop over his place and let him have a test of it. Smiling, Takaki went off to change his clothes and quickly flew off to Kusano's place. It was kind of weird really. He kind of only remembered how to fly there, but not how to walk there, despite the fact that he always went back walking.

Takaki stared at the balcony sliding door as he landed. He wasn't sure whether Kusano was around or not, but he knocked anyway.

"Kusa, are you there?" he asked.

Title: Recollections (reserved)
Setting: a hil at the rear side of the town, late at night
Reserved for: Karina and Nakai
Summary: The meeting after a few years..


It was late at night, and Karina was walking around the town without any certain direction.

She was just trying to spend the night.

It had been 95 years since her life was suddenly changed and yet, she still couldn't get over it. Her current life was more than enough for any normal human, but Karina was not a human, while this was not what she actually wanted. Without her realizing it, she had been pondering over her past over and over.

It was until she reached a small hill that she finally stopped. The air was nice, despite the hotness this town had felt the entire day. She walked further, until she could see the town from the hill.

Beautiful. But ti was just not the place she wanted to be at...

Title: Music Composition

Reserved for: Masuda Takahisa and Kato Shigeaki
Summary: Massu decided to play the some songs that Shige wrote before he left the band.


Massu dismissed from his work at DTree, he went home he knew that Shige arrived at his house probably waiting for him. he shouldn't let his friend wait, it was his fault anyway.

His passion was singing, he was excited to see and sing the song that Shige wrote. He appreciate his works.

He rushed his way on the way back home.

He arrived within 5 minutes! Quick!

Once Massu entered his house, he heard some guitar strumming. he knew it was Shige. His mother welcomed him home and prepared a 3 plates of gyoza. 2 for him 1 for Shige.

He took those 3 and take it upstairs.

"Shige! Gomen, if I was late. It took you a long time to wait. i'm very sorry!" he said quickly as he entered the room.
 

Title: Relaxation time
Setting: The onsen [evening]
Summary: Nino goes to the onsen in hopes of finally getting some time to relax

Nino let out a sigh as he slipped into the hot water, letting his eyes close as he appreciated the way it soothed his aching muscles. It had seemed as though he'd barely had enough time to just relax recently - although he supposed that was mostly his fault.

With the recent influx of hollows, Nino had desided to step up his training; something which he had become lazy about. As a result it seemed as though time had passed him by without him even realising it, and it had already become summer - how Nino had gone so long without giving in to his chronic laziness, he wasn't quite sure; the last time he'd ended up taking a nap when he was meant to be working had been quite a while ago.

He rested the back of his head against the side of the bath, fully prepared to just let himself properly relax for the first time in a long while.

Title: A sudden Meet-up
Setting: Karakura Mall
Reserved for: Kato Shigeaki and Bages Minami
Summary: A sudden meet-up for Shige and Minami, who used to be a rivals during Minami's college year.

Studies become so hectic for the past days, he even broke his own camera by mistake, and he’s a 'failure' kind of guy anyways. Shigeaki needed a camera for his other side of his school work, being a photojournalist. He should rush the article for the school newspaper for the next few weeks.

At Karakura Mall, he canvassed a gadget shop, mostly the camera shop, most of the cameras are hi-tech and expensive, but it was a great advantage for him.

“Ooopppsss…” he bumped to a lady. “Gomenasai!” he said to the lady, but the lady turned to him, she was familiar to him.

An old rival of him.

 

Title:  A relaxing afternoon [OPEN]
Setting: A quiet spot under a tree in Seireitei [Afternoon]
Summary: It's too nice of a day to waste inside, so Ohno goes off to relax and takes along his sketchbook.


With nothing to do Ohno needed a break. He gathered a few of his supplies, a sketchpad and a few pencils. It was a beautiful day, and he couldn't remember the last time he'd been able to sit down and draw something. Work had been busy with the recent hollow activity. Now that he had a free afternoon, he could think of nothing more than spending it by relaxing. He left a note on his lieutenants desk to let her know where he was so she wouldn't worry that he had gone off unannounced.

He found a peaceful spot and settled himself down against a tree, taking the shade provided. Ohno tapped his pencil against the blank page that he had flipped to, pondering what to actually sketch. Eyes falling shut for a brief moment as he started to get a picture in his head. Taking the tip of the pencil to the paper, he opened his eyes and started to sketch. Letting his hand move, almost on it's own. Shading in certain spots, lines coming together to form a picture of a face.

Title: Of Balconies [Reserved]
Setting: Condo's Balconies (morning)
Reserved for: Bages Minami and Kusano Hironori
Summary: Finally, a random talk with neighbour.

Stretching out her arms on her comfy bed, Minami stayed there for awhile as she stared at her room's ceiling. Morning.. she said to herself. She was about to get up when she felt a slight tickling fur on her legs. Sighing, Minami sat up and smiled.

"Morning Kuro-chan," she lazily greeted her small black chihuahua. "Let me brush my teeth first, okay?" she grinned.

Right after brushing her teeth, with Kuro in her hand, Minami went to her kitchen and made a cup of coffee for herself. Minami rarely ate breakfast, although she knew well how important breakfast were. "Shall we greet the morning sun?" she asked randomly to her dog. Well, it wasn't that Kuro will reply.

Her balcony was pasted with plastic board on its iron bars. She wouldn't want Kuro to suddenly slip and fall. Putting Kuro on one of the balcony chairs, Minami leaned on the bars as she enjoyed her coffee. As expected, summer morning was really bright and cheerful.

Title: Talk between friends[Reserved]
Setting: A diner in Karakura (noon)
Reserved for: Koyama Keiichiro and Kusano Hironori
Summary: Kusano decided to talk to kei-chan about stuffs

It has been a few days since the day he helped his best friend Koyama moved house and he had not contacted Koyama at all. Kusano knew that sooner or later they had to talk, besides, Takaki had already talk to koyama. Sighing, he placed his can of soda on the small table before him and searched for his phone which he had placed somewhere on the couch. He found it under the piles of cushions.

Kei-chan~

Are you free?

Title: [RESERVED] The Fated Road We Walk On
Reserved for: Akanishi Jin & Kamenashi Kazuya
Setting: A random, dark street. Night.
Summary: They finally met.

It was one of those days again. One of those days that were filled with nothing but boredom. Nothing. Just pure plain, simple boredom. And it was driving Jin crazy. He was dying for excitement, his thirst for blood was killing him and the silence in the world of Hueco Mundo was really testing his insanity. Not that he was sane enough himself to begin with. And perhaps that was what caused Jin to do what he was doing; to be where he was right now -

The human world.

Jin jumped down from the rooftop of the tower, his feet lightly tapped against the cold pavement. His eyes scanned the area around him, taking in the view that was so very foreign to him and yet, had been so very familiar. The air was thick with the smell of human, but it didn't bother Jin, not even in the least. For a moment, he stood rooted there; thinking and wondering what was there in this world that was really intriguing to the other espadas that most resorted to come to this world to wonder about - and it strike him that everything in this world was just so...different. It's filled with so much life, it felt almost suffocating, yet so wondrously alluring and exciting. Feeling his thirst for blood and adventure boiling up, Jin ventured into the night, an almost wicked grin plastered on his face at the thought of what might await.

Title: Drifter
Setting: A random cafe~
Summary: She drifts. o:

Everything had been happening too quickly. It hasn't even been a whole year yet, and things were happening around her that normally wouldn't have happened. Maki was confused, but who could blame her? She's finding out about things that she would have been better off not knowing, such as the fact that she is actually half Shinigami. Yes, she had always suspected, but now this fact is solid. Now it's a part of her and it'll never leave her.

She sighed as she sat down at a table. Her body was still sore from two days ago, not having the ability to heal faster despite her Shinigami blood. Her body has adapted itself to human life. It was not accustomed to fighting. In fact, Maki's mind wasn't accustomed to it. She has never had a fight with someone since she was born; she hasn't even argued with someone verbally, nevermind physically. Why Matsuyama is so insistent on having her dead, she'd never understand. But she did know that, without Erika and Keiko there that night, Maki probably wouldn't be sitting here now, ordering a glass of iced tea.

The thought made her shudder. When was all this going to end? She wanted things to go back to normal, where she didn't have a power, nor a Shinigami for an uncle, nor such a forbidden love for a Shinigami that she barely knew. What she didn't know was that, things will never go back to normal. Never.

Title: Search
Setting: Karakura City - Just before Noon.
Summary: After leaving Yamashita Tomohisa behind at his old apartment Kazuya set off to find a new job and a new place to live.


After Kazuya had left the letter at the cafe he set off to find his new job. He bought a newspaper from the magazine stand and was flipping through the pages. Perhaps it would be better for him to have a night job this time...

Hiring Bartenders...

Kazuya considered this... he was making drinks at the cafe... this shouldn't that different from it. He walked off to the pay phone and dialed the number and applied for it. At the other end was a woman, soon as he asked he was hired.. they were really short handed and were looking for three more hires. She told him to come down to the location around 4:00 so he can sign the application.

With a job secured Kazuya walked around town to see if he could find himself a home till the next time he was found.

[RESERVED] … surprise? (Morning)
Setting: Kame’s Apartment
Reserved for: Kamenashi Kazuya, Yamashita Tomohisa
Summary: Kame wakes up, and…

Always in the darkness Kazuya felt peaceful… the only time he could get true rest… and yet in the darkness he was always alone and felt nothing. But this darkness that surrounded him now was warm… it had a weight to it… a softness that Kazuya hasn’t felt in ages… since he was small… back in rukongai before he had been taken away to the sereitei academy. Slowly the ex-captain roused back into the waking world… it was time to get up and go on his way to find a new place to live.

He slowly opened his eyes expecting the blue sky, and the cold breeze from the bay… but he saw/felt neither. Instead a white ceiling and a warm air brushed over his white collarbone. As he came to his sense…

“&#$*%@!!!!”

Sounds that did not form words came from Kazuya as he was startled at his current situation. He had tried to brush at were the warm air breezed over to find Yamashita-Taichou’s face on his neck…. He slept soundly against Kazuya with his arms and legs twined around Kazuya’s body. And to make matters worse Kazuya was naked.

What happened!? What did I do!? I didn’t do anything rash did I!? Calm down Kazuya! There must be some reasonable explanation for this!

Kazuya’s head turned into an instant panic.

Title: It pays to be patient [OPEN]
Setting: Las Noches Palace (late afternoon) / Karakura Town.
Summary:  Ueda has been patient... he is looking for the scent that strange reiatsu Gerbera brought home.

Gerbera was running around Karakura town again in search of that reiatsu... Kazuya's.  It was months since the encounter with Kazuya and the small boy with that rare and unique doll of his and yet he could not find what Ueda-sama wanted.  That day so long ago when he came back heavily wounded Ueda sama had sniffed him... and asked who he had met... upon describing the two target he had chosen Ueda sama's eyes glimmered with interest but said nothing.  It seemed that Ueda-sama took a liking to the one with the strange reiatsu... something so mysterious should be in his collection...  So being the loyal servant for Ueda sama, Gerbera set off on his search... vowed not to return till he found Kazuya.

But the search was failing him and he was getting frustrated... thoughts of the boy with the doll ran through his head... that doll was something so unique.... perhaps he should divert to obtaining that doll first...  Gerbera contemplated...


Meanwhile... at Las Noches Ueda was growing tired of his same old collection.  He was in his room of all white and blank space.... even in this quiet and calm sanctuary Ueda could not find peace.  Aggravated he stepped out of his room and walked the halls of the palace...
