The fragrance of blood

Kiiroi smiled 'alright go rest for tomorrow'


Akane sighed softly and closed the door slowly to not wake him, she moved back to the living room

Kaori nodded and moved off to her room again to go and rest.

Kiiroi moved to his own room



Akane resigned herself to sleeping in the chair

Kaori settled down for the night.

Akane closed her eyes ready to sleep

The night went by and it was soon morning.

Aoi had left for work already.

Kaori had just woke up she tentatively moved out of her room.


Sora was awake he looked around for Akane.

Hisagi was getting ready for training.

Kiiroi had orders from ukitake to give her a new kimono



Akane was in the living room ready

Kaori looked around where was everyone.




Ikkaku had his shinigami robes on, "You guys ready?" he asked.

Sora moved out and smiled when he saw Akane.

Kiiroi was in the living room with a box


Akane ruffled Soras hair 'listen kid, can you stay here and be good?... ahhh what do i do with you'

Kaori moved inside the living she smiled when she saw Kiiroi, "Morning"



Sora smiled nodding.

"I thought of that, Hisagi has made some food for the kid which is in the fridge for when he gets hungry... and i dug out my old console so he can play whilst we are gone" Ikkaku stated.

Hisagi nodded rather proudly.

Kiiroi gave her the box 'ehhh new clothes Brother Jyuu got them for you'




Akane smiled 'you be good alright' she was thankful he would be able to play and eat

"Ah thank you" Kaori smiled taking the box.




Ikkaku loaded up the game, "Alright there you go kiddo"

Sora smiled happily, "Thank you"

Kiiroi smiled 'go change'



Akane sighed with relief 'good kid'

Kaori nodded and moved off back into her room.



Sora nodded and moved to play the game.

"Follow me" Ikkaku stated as he headed to the door.

Kiiroi waited for her


Akane moved to go 'see ya squirt'

Kaori was soon changed she looked at herself in the mirror wincing.... it was beautiful the kimono.



Sora waved but he looked more than happy playing the game.

Kiiroi made tea while he was waiting


Akane smiled slightly, something she hardly did but she moved to follow the guys

Kaori moved out sighing the kimono was beautiful it really was to her.



Hisagi was walking along.

Ikkaku had led them to a secluded spot.

Kiiroi smiled 'ahhhh it looks great'



Akane followed unsure

Kaori smiled slightly, "Thanks"




"Alright this is just a pep talk before i take you there" Ikkaku stated, "When taking the test do not use any dirty tricks they wont like that and will knock it off your score"

Hisagi listened he had heard this loads of times.

Kiiroi smiled 'tea?'



Akane nodded 'i dont trick, i just straight up fight'

Kaori nodded, "Sure"



Ikkaku nodded, "They like it when you show you have potential... so even if your hurt when fighting and you pick yourself back up and continue that will earn you extra points for your endurance"

Hisagi nodded.

Kiiroi passed her a cup of tea



Akane nodded she would have done that too

Kaori said her thanks taking the tea and sipping at it.



"And the last of all your tested by captains from the court guard... each of them like certain things depending on who you get" Ikkaku stated.

Hisagi sighed he kept failing as he was always without a doubt tested by SoiFon.

Kiiroi smiled 'hows your fighting by the way i never asked'



Akane was listening 'alright so we just do a test?'
