No time for rest (Joint Training Closed )

[Wycliff]

A day off, a nice thing to have, but in the shambles that is squad thirteen it was a rare thing nowadays. Wycliff often snuck away from his captain's office to go goof off when he wasn't getting all the paperwork that Ludwig didn't want to do, but to have a real day off was a different thing. To know that you didn't have to actually do anything and not have to hide? That feeling was amazing, yet instead of being on the sandy beaches in the real world Wycliff was still in the soul society. Why? the answer was simple he was waiting for someone, someone he hadn't seen in a while and with the stars aligned in the right way he would have a chance to catch up with them.

Wycliff waited quietly by the entrance into the squad four barracks. It wasn't often that he came back this way after the way he was forced to leave. Honestly while he did care about his old squad mates he really didn't have much of a reason to come back to his old squad most days. For the most part he was sure that they could at least handle themselves and weren't dying left and right when sent out as medical back up. Something that he had seen happen way too often when he was here, which was why he made it his mission to help train everyone so that they could actually fight.

However today was different, Wycliff actually had a reason to be here. Musuhina  one of the few squad mates that he had kept in contact was going to actually be around the barracks today and he wanted to catch up for a bit. Given that they weren't in the same squad anymore it was hard to concordant to hang out. Last time they did he forgot how much the two of them drank because of a silly contest between the two of them. Either way he was looking forward to hanging out for a bit and to see how she had grown. He hadn't forgotten her goal of becoming a captain, he was just wondering how much stronger she had gotten.

Blood, cleaning materials, feet shuffling and squad members muttering over operating tables. These were the sounds that occupied Musuhina's life outside of the Kuchiki estate. Even after her outing in Osaka, nothing much had changed once she returned. Patients were still in need of treatment and the barracks were still understaffed. Leaving what hands Squad 4 could spare tired and ragged after working themselves to the bone. She could see the effort they put in on their faces each day. They were either focused, tired or both with very few moments of relaxation to be had.

They may not have looked like much, but Musuhina was proud of them for being as strong as they were. So, in turn, she was doing the same in order to keep their spirits up. After Captain Rose's disappearance and Wycliff transferring to Squad 13, Squad 4 was officially left leaderless. In a sense, Wycliff's departure was a good thing for her, seeing her squad leaderless and withered to a husk of what it once was made her furious. She burned with outrage and began carrying herself with authority and dignity. She took on the near death cases and helped coordinate the doctors, giving them a semblance of organization as the injured kept coming in. And in the midst of it all, she strove to be an example to them by not showing how tired she was, trying her damnedest to not let a single hint of fatigue or weakness show.

But she'd be a fool if she didn't recognize talent and effort in the others as well. They were every bit as capable of showing leadership as she was. But nonetheless, her desires of becoming a captain and stitching the 12 other squads back together from their own sorry states  wouldn't be halted by the potential of other candidates. She would put every ounce of herself into it and become the captain her squad would deserve, even if all that was left to wear the coat would be a skeleton on the verge of becoming a pile of ash.

But that would be for the future to decide. Right now, Musuhina had to root herself in the present. And in the present she was just finishing off the remnants of her work day after checking to see if Bone Meal and Shinku Ko were nice and secure around her waist. She went through each of the rooms to check for things anyone needed help with before she left. And after a few minutes of sitting down and letting her feet relax, she got back up and made her way outside. But as she did, she caught a familiar blonde out of the corner of her eye, giving him a face mixed with sarcasm, passive aggressive anger and a bit of genuine happiness. "Oh, hey Wycliff. How have things been?" she'd say, greeting him in a casual tone while leaning against the wall of the barracks.

Eventually as time passed on Wycliff saw who he was waiting for, from a distance she seemed to be fine. However as she approached him he could see that something was a bit off. She seemed tired and looked as if she was overworked, it wasn't his place to say anything about that at the moment. After all he could imagine how messed up squad four was at the moment. Even if he didn't know anything about being a medic he was still held responsible for helping out and organizing everything. A task that he kept on doing well after Rose vanished, mostly out of habit because she made him do it. Yet now that leadership was gone and it was up to those that didn't really know what they were doing he assumed that it was madness.

Still he didn't want to show that he was too worried about his old squad at least for her sake. He heard that she had been taking charge and was doing a good job at the moment. Even still it was his day off and he was going to drag her to have some fun. “Oh ya know the same old same old. So Musuhina ya ready to go to the beach?” He said with a bright smile across his face and a very cheerful tone in his voice. It wasn't as if he was asking her, no this was more of a I'm going to take you with me even if you don't want to go voice.

This wasn't his original plan, but given the way she looked he thought a bit of fresh air, sunshine and salt water would do wonders for her. If not at least it would be a way to relax and get a real break. Being part of the thirteenth squad he has found it easier to hop between the worlds, especially if he always brought back a soda or two for Ludwig. It made things easier for him, not having to sneak off all the time and heck by only bringing one or two sodas he could keep using the excuse that he will bring one back for the man as a way to leave and get back easily.

Without really waiting for her to properly respond or say something Wycliff would wrap an arm around her and start to drag her towards the senkaimon. All the while humming a happy tune, he knew that she might protest, but after seeing her he knew it was time for a break. “Ya don't want to work yer self to death now don't ya?” Would be said as a counter to any sort of argument that would have come up if it did. If she couldn't break away from him he would end up dragging her to the human world in only a few minutes, they would arrive at an empty south American beach that seemed to be untouched by mankind say for a simple shack nearby that oddly enough had Wycliff's name carved into the wooden door.

[Musuhina Kesshino]

Musuhina sighed at Wycliff's offer. She didn't have the time to relax and still had a good bit of work waiting ahead. "Look Wycliff I can't right now." she said as she started walking past him. "It sounds nice but I really have to get back to the esta- WAIT! THE FU-?!" she'd yell after pretty much being kidnapped and dragged through the Senkaimon. After Wycliff would let her go, she'd be incredibly tempted to carve him into several pieces for dragging her off against her will, but against her judgement, she opted to instead give him an angry look resembling that of a pouty teenager before giving her new location a bit of a look.

Well she did give it one thing at least; it was definitely Wycliff's kind of place. Lots of plant life, secluded, several different types of birds calling out across the jungle nearby and of course a massive beach fitted with lot of sand and water that a guy like him could enjoy. Musuhina had to admit, it was nice. And since Wycliff would probably drag her back here anyway if she did manage to escape, she might as well try and enjoy her abduction from her work life. Not to mention the Kuchiki staff that was already there probably had things handled anyway.

"Fine, you've got me here, now what?" she said as she sat under the shade of a nearby tree. Though after figuring Wycliff's usual interests in places like this, she'd jumped to the obvious assumption. "Well I hope you're not gonna be too disappointed, but I can't exactly swim without a swimsuit. And if you think I'm using what's underneath, you can forget it." she added, shooting him an accusing look. Though it wasn't like she had one to begin with. She never really was one for taking vacations via the Senkaimon tot he world of the living. Not to mention the lack of oceans and shorelines in the Soul Society didn't really leave her with much of a desire for swimming as is.

[Wycliff]

“Well ya know this is a nudist beach right? It's why I brought ya.” He smiled at her as he started to take off his shirt. He was messing with her of course, but he wanted to see what she would say or do at the very thought of that. Teasing an old squad mate was fun, especially when that squadmate looked like they needed a good laugh or break. He would wait till she said or did something before laughing at her for a moment and telling her he was joking about the whole thing. “That shack over there should have some suits to fit ya, not much of a selection, but it's better than nothing. Bring out the bag I got over there to ya, it's got some towels and an umbrella”

This wasn't the first time he was at this beach, nor would it be the last so he always kept things prepared just incase. The shack it's self would have a few swimsuits in it as well as a small working fridge that had drinks. Wycliff somehow managed to get electricity to this remote part of the world. While it would seem to be a mystery if someone looked on the roof of the shack they would find some solar panels there providing the electricity needed. While Wycliff was lazy, he wasn't dumb, if he was going to sit around a beach all day long he wanted to have cold drinks.

By the time Musuhina came back out from the shack Wycliff would already be in a Hawaiian print swimsuit and laying back on the warm sand. His clothing and zan in a neat little pile by the treeline, his eyes would be covered by the sunglasses he always wore. It would appear as if he was sleeping already. In fact he didn't even bother moving when Musuhina came up. If she wanted to it would be a great time to mess with him.

[Musuhina Kesshino]

The second Musuhina heard Wycliff's answer, she kept the same accusing look while drawing part of Bone Meal out of it's scabbard, practically ready to cut his perverted head off. Thankfully for him though, he said it was a joke and after sheathing Bone Meal she would stand up after he mentioned that there was a shack that had everything she needed. As she was walking up to to it though, she was genuinely curious about what she'd find in there. Odds are there would be plenty of skimpy ones that Wycliff would enjoy the view of, but she had faith in his sense of variety.

Once she stepped inside, Musuhina found a very nice display of several different bikinis. Some had vibrant colors with flashy patterns while a few others were dark and subtle. Some of them even had a few interesting designs that she had to admit, she was impressed with. After some time looking through the place, she'd find something that caught her eye. Though she'd wonder how Wycliff managed to gather all of these swimsuits in one place. She doubted that this place was an ideal location for a shop since the beach seemed really out of the way. And the more she thought about it the more suspicious she became.

Though for now, she'd store her suspicions for later and stepped into the changing booth and coming out with her shinigami uniform in the beach bag Wycliff mentioned after applying some sunscreen. She even found a nice canary yellow belt to hold Shinku Ko and Bone Meal in, placing it just above the curves of her hips. Once she stepped out with her umbrella and bag she spotted Wycliff napping in the sun and decided to give him a bit of a wake up call. With a devious smirk crept across her face, she pointed a finger just past his body before a stream of lightning would narrowly zip above it, leaving a thunderous crack just past his feet along with a decent sized hole in the ground containing a small glass statue of the lightning that struck it.

After most likely bolting up in shock, he would see Musuhina clad in a black two piece swimsuit that had a skirt attachment on the lower piece which started small on the right side but grew down to half her thigh on the other side while the top piece was decorated with a pattern of bright orange Asiatic lilies. "There, we're even." she'd start by crossing her arms with the smirk still etched on her face "I'll admit, I've wanted a day to myself recently, but I couldn't let you off scot-free for dragging me here like you did.".

[Wycliff]

Taking a short nap on the sandy beach he was totally unaware that Musuhina  had exited the small shack that he had built over time and stocked with the leftover bikinis from a store in the area that went out of business a few years ago. While not the best selection there was a few choices that most girls would enjoy and be able to fit in. Luckily for him when that store was going out of business he was able to grab tons of men's swimsuits so he would never be out of them and if he was, well then there was always the option to go all natural.

Well with that in mind you can be sure that he was shocked when he heard the thunder crack near him and on the perfect white sandy beach was now charred sand that had fused together to become glass covered in harden sand. He suddenly woke up and looked over at her in her bikini, while she was talking he was just looking over her having a smile across his face. While he knew that she a beautiful woman he wasn't exactly sure as too how good she actually looked under the frumpy robes that they had to wear to work.

Looking over her choice was rather interesting, he didn't expect her to pick a simple black bikini with a skirt along side a yellow belt to hold her zan by her side. While he was awake he was still on the beach, slowly he stood up making sure to avoid the area that was still hot from the blast of kido that she had shot out near him. He had heard a bit of what she had said mostly thanking him that he had dragged her here to relax and enjoy. Casually he followed that up with his own words. “well if ya wanna thank me, I have a few ideas. Still can't believe ya look that good under all that blood and robes.”

Yes Wycliff was flirting with her, but that was part of his personality and most guys would be hard pressed to find a reason not to want to flirt with Musuhina  especially in that bikini. Standing up he walked over to her and placed a hand on her shoulder before saying. “So ya wanna go swimming or tan up on the beach.” Even though he had been flirting just a second before right now his mind was on relaxing and enjoying the beach to the fullest with her.
