The Suicidal And The Sacrificial

Ideals and Reality

Seiretei Division 13

"Jushiro-san. I've come to visit you in person", Nozomi opened the door wide and saw the man writing on a scroll. The long hair captain turned to see Nozomi and a new face. He had an awkward smile and allowed the two to enter.  Kiyone and Sentaro, Jushiro's faithful servants are both astonished by the casualness of the visitors. "I am honored to have you visit me, Nozomi. Have you asked permission from Captain Unohana?", Jushiro was a little hesitant to allow the lady to roam around freely around Serietei. "Who dares ignore Captain Unohana-sama's order? Plus, I brought with me a rare species. She said she's afraid of the bloody infirmary and also the scream coming from injured shinigami", Nozomi pointed her hands to Sumire to present her. "I didn't say that. That's too much honorifics. Just chose one because you sounded messy", Sumire said under her breath. "There you go, it's the first human soul that I reaped", the white head said proudly with what she did. "You reaped a what?!!!", Sentaro and Kiyone fainted. "You're as carefree as usual, Nozomi. Come and have some tea with me. I know Captaim Kurotsuchi is already looking for a way to fuse her soul back", the Captain invited. 

Since the two of his servants are out of commission. Nozomi volunteered to pour tea. "I can do it by myself", Jushiro smiled while watching the lady spilling a lot. Sumire grabbed the pot from the trying-hard lady and gracefully demonstrated how to respect the tradition of pouring tea. "You might have trained a lot for this", Jushiro looked at Sumire's steady hands. "Back in the human world, I pour a hundred drinks every day", the raven head was referring to her part-time jobs in cafes and bakery shops. The fragrant aroma was pleasing to the newcomer. "It's a newly brewed tea from Captain Kuchiki. Vice Captain Abarai dropped by to give it", the man informed. After Jushiro sipped, Sumire followed and the rich flavor spread in her mouth. "Did you know? If you consume something from Soul Society, you won't be able to go back to the human world?", Nozomi's words made Jushiro and Sumire slightly lower their cups. Jushiro didn't know about that as well. "Why do you look bothered Jushiro-san? It's not as if you're going there", Nozomi slightly hit his back. Kiyone woke up and saw what the new face did and fainted once more. 

"I am sometimes asked to go there for some reason", the Captain's hand shook. "You're a Shinigami. You can come in and out of the two dimensions without having to worry", Sumire sipped again. "Why are you not panicking?! You should be. Really?! I haven't thought of that?! Is this how I say farewell?", Nozomi acted and started her own monologue show.

"I see, I wasn't paying attention to the amount of time the tea is soaked in hot water. I will take note of that", Sumire nodded. They were having a conversation with Jushiro while Nozomi had her own stage play. "If you're done entertaining yourself, we have to get back before Isane-san realizes that you placed pillows under our blanket", Sumire reminded. "I don't want to stay there!!! All you do is seat and stare at the ceiling", Nozomi rolled on the floor and finally coughed. Blood oozed from her mouth. Sentaro woke up and saw Nozomi with blood continuously oozing from her mouth which seemed to be a scene fresh from a movie. "Ahk!!!", Sentaro felt goosebumps and was about to lose consciousness. "Stop fainting and drag that idiot back into the infirmary", Sumire commanded. 

Sereitei Cirlce

Sumire would be lying if she would say that the atmosphere and everything surrounding her at the moment doesn't make her feel thrilled. Unlike the human world, her body can move as how she wanted it to. The air isn't murky as well and the disgusting presence from the hollows is absent. "It's a surprise that you had adjusted fast with the heaviness of the air in other parts of the Sereitei. Most especially in Division 11 where all they do is a train every day", Kiyone sighed while carrying the stretcher for Nozomi. "Sheeshh peeeculiarhhh", Nozomi's head popped out with her mouth covered with a white sheet of a wound dressing with some blots of blood.
