The Meeting of Kansei and Hinsshi

[Niaga Hinsshi]

(( So this is an OOC test thread of them meeting and possibly fighting, whatever happens happens! ^_^ ))

Hinsshi sat back in his squad house yawning, he had been working all night to get the paperwork for a newly opened squad done, he chuckled softly and slowly rose up his pink over robe fluttering slightly isntead of the usual Haori. Slowly he tucked his hands into his robe, and began to make his way out of the Compound, slowly he meandered along the cobblestone path before he finally met the large forest for training in the back where the squad had brought out tables for beaks and combat stands, he chuckled and slowly sat down on one enjoying the peace for now. As anyone nearby entered the area, the thick smell of roses and the forest, as well as hundreds of exotic flowers met their nose and led them slowly to Hinsshi, he practically gave it off naturally, perhaps he did. About the large mans hair was strewn hundreds of Rose petals that he didnt even seem to notice, every time he shook his head they would deteriorate slowly into pink dust and disappear. To top it off,t his massive man seemed to give off an aura of age and wisdom, despite his relatively youthful appearance, his yes were that of an old man, and anyone that may know their history would realise this man as the X-Fukutaicho of Second squad, and the X-Taicho of Third squad, likely explaining his hundreds of scars that coat his ski like a messed up blanket of scar tissue.

As for the man himself, Hinsshi sat calmly on the nearby lunch table as the Kidou Corps commander as he sat on the edge, the massive man stood at seven foot four, his huge frame and robes bristling with muscles and his skin covered in scar's. His skin was a deep dark bronze, and his brown chestnut hair was cut down into a crew cut, slightly longer and curly on the top of his head, the most noticeable scar lay in the shape of a 'X' across his face, having one Horizontal line going over his slightly bent nose as if it had been broken and healed on its own hundreds of times, the scar travels along his face and into the side of his head, making a clear pale line of scar tissue through his hair where it can no longer grow. The other scar starts at his forehead, and goes along his face over his left eye though it doesn't seem blind, the scar is missing on his eyelid as well, however it starts again just underneath his eye and goes all the way down his face over the first scar and ending at his chin, cutting into his thick, but well-cared for and trimmed beard. A butterfly attracted to his smell, floated over and suddenly clung to him causing him to sigh as He waved a hand and leaned back, the table creaking underneath his bulk as he watched it calmly with a soft yawn, eventually anyone watching may finally notice and realize, he doesn't have a single weapon on his huge frame, despite his obvious msucle and power and being a high ranking shinigami he has no Zanpaktou at all of any shape, he simply watches the area for anyone that may randomly appear, one eye closing a bit with a sleepy and lazy ... yet surprisingly calm and intelligent gaze. Finally, he sighed and chuckled, "Oh come on out already ... I may not be the best with Reitsu sensory, but your so strong even I can feel you ... who's out there new?" He smirked a bit shaking his head in moderate amusement, his voice deep and gravely like that of an old man, possibly the cause being the scar along his neck like he had been slit at the throat by an assassin.

Kansei's fingers ran over the bandaging that resided over the right side of his face letting out an exasperated sigh as he rested on the wooden walkway that also semi-functioned like a porch to his garden at his massive manor. His crimson lined ebony bangs brushed to the side as hi fingers continued to trace the woolen cloth. It was rather irritating how peaceful today was, and yet how distraught he felt. Then again, it had only been a little over three months since the incident that he was sure costed him his right eye, furthermore landed him in the position of head of the Kuchiki Household as well as handing down to him the responsibility of commanding the internal affairs division, division six. It was going to be quite arduous that he could tell already, but it was more than that. Perhaps a duty he never really wished for to fall on his shoulders. Yes. He would have been perfectly content staying as a secondary heir all his life, then none of this bull-crap would have happened. His brother would not be incarcerated, or worse, dead. His father might possibly still be alive... No, he died over three decades ago. Still, this responsibility, it was just something he had never truly thought about preparing for. He always thought he would remain a secondary heir, not the head.

Slow and steady footsteps made their way toward the 5'10" tall shinigami as he sat there continuing to trace the bandages. These footsteps would echo through his subconscious before he would turn his head to view the person that had approached his right side, if even only by a little. His hand would fall back down onto his lap as he looked up at the gloriously beautiful woman before him. The woman that was known as his fiance. Placing an ivory tabi covered foot on the edge of the wooden planks, he would bring himself up to a stand to gaze at her as the cherry blossoms danced around them on the wind. They exchanged few words before she threw her arms around him, tears coming to her eyes. Several minutes would pass with them together like this and when she finally pulled away she placed the sixth taichou haori over his shoulders so that the sleeves of the haori draped over his tattoo covered arms. She clasped her hands together before him smiling, "Just promise me you won't do anything rash..."
Kansei placed a gentle kiss on her forehead before turning and starting to walk away as he tore the bandaging off of his face.
"That's not something you'll need to worry about." He turned his head to her to where she saw the scar marred across his now blind right eye, but more than that, the smile that twisted the corners of his lips upward. She smiled and nodded.

After that, Kansei took his leave of the Kuchiki manor, wandering through the currently deserted sixth barracks as he made his way to the cobblestone walkways that were just beyond it.Upon finally reaching such a pathway, something seemed to reach out to him. Unknown to him was such a scent as this one of hundreds of exotic flora, and such an elegant scent it was to somehow attract him to the source. As he would wander to the source of such an aroma, his somewhat pale fingers of his tekko covered hand would grasp the back of his neck as if massaging the ebony striped skin, however, they would trace down along the ebony tattoo that decorated not only his neck, but his back and biceps as well. The aqua colored nails would glisten in the sunlight as they continued to run over his neck before brushing the crimson traced ebony hair that currently draped over his shoulders untethered out of his eyes allowing the scar that ran from his hairline above his right eyebrow down through the eyebrow, preventing the hair from growing back, across his eye even having previously been on the eye ball itself, and finally ending at his lower right cheek. It was such a clean, yet jagged vertical line that traced down his face, and forever stole his sight from his right eye, leaving the eye in a hazy pale blue color. His fingers would subconsciously play over his scar as if confirming it was actually in existence there over his eye, as if confirming his was actually blind in that eye as he would enter a forested area. He wandered through the forest, expecting this to be the source of the aroma, however, he was dead wrong. As a deep, gravely voice rang out.
"Oh come on out already ... I may not be the best with Reitsu sensory, but your so strong even I can feel you ... who's out there new?" It's not like Kansei had been attempting to hide his presence or anything, but no matter, he had still not expected the source of the aroma to be such a large man. Yes, the large man that he would at last view as he made his way out of the brush, an aura of calm and tranquility surrounding him as he gazed to the older and much wiser man.
"My apologies, I did not know there was someone else here, as a matter of fact, I did not expect the scent that had somehow been calling to me to be coming from someone such as yourself." His voice was quite calm, youthful and nearly emotionless as his right hand rubbed the back of his neck again, his left hand remaining at his side.

[Niaga Hinsshi]

Hinsshi was sitting back and yawning when he called out boredly with a slight smile, glancing back in the rough direction of the Shinigami that had come up behind him, calling out with his graveling and older voice surprising considering he appeared only in his Mid-thirties physically, must in fact be the scar along his throat that has caused such a voice in this man, "Oh come on out already ... I may not be the best with Reitsu sensory, but your so strong even I can feel you ... who's out there now?" He was sure the kid hadn't meant any harm, hell he may not have even been trying to sneak around, but it was still a simple Joke in any case, as the kid made his way out he blinked a few times, he was just a Boy! He shook his head in amazement eying the white Haori that was draped along his shoulder's and gave a soft chuckle of surprise. "Well Hello there Kuchiki-San ..." He waved to him boredly, he was no idiot, only Kuchiki could become the Sixth squads Captain after all. He slowly hopped off the table, the ground around him shaking a bit from his size as he slowly walked over hands deep in his pockets, his shoulder's nearly as wide across as the table he had just been sitting on, and yet no Zanpaktou was visible on the mans Body.

Hinsshi gave a barrel-chested chuckle at the Mans next statement, "My apologies, I did not know there was someone else here, as a matter of fact, I did not expect the scent that had somehow been calling to me to be coming from someone such as yourself." He grinned a bit and shook his head giving another soft chuckle and nodding some, trailing a finger along the hundreds of scar's along his neck and exposed chest before the one that went over his face in a 'T' across it. "Hmm ... Hai I absorbed my Zanapktou long ago, and it's pwoers were based around Flowers and life, a side-effect besides my massive increase in Reitsu, was my reitsu gained its own scent that represented its powers ... so Now I smell like flowers." He grinned some and then titled his head a bit before offering a massive hand to the Taicho, "I'm Niaga Hinsshi ... Commander of the Kidou Corps force." He said with a slight Yawn, the massive bright pink over-robe of the Kidou Corps commander hanging down from his back, he hadn't bothered tucking his arms into the sleeves, his muscles were far to large for that to effectively fit comfortably after all. "What'r you up to chasing the scent of flowers though Kid ...?" he raised an eyebrow, looking into the kids eyes and noting how his right one seemed to have been blinded by a wound.

He nodded a bit to it and frowned, "Seem's yah' got yourself a nice War Badge there ..." he murmured, scratching at one over his own eye, however it seemed to have just missed his actual eyeball by a half a centimeter, likely a pure luck dodge. As well, the hand that was being offered to the young Taicho, the Kuchiki would likely notice was absolutely nothing but what seemed to be dead scar tissue, though there was obviously living msucle and such underneath, it was as if his entire arm had suffered horrendous burning that had caused such terrible wounds that permanently marred and ruined the skin of that hand and arm, ether way however, that may be a good thing to this man from his appearance. He tapped his own eye, "How'd it happen if I may ask youngin' ...? I'll trade you a story for a story neh?" He winked with a grin, giving another short bark of a gristled laugh.

[Greer Tayler]

Kansei emerged from the brush to gain the sight of the older and much larger commander as his calm and emotionless toned voice echoed softly, "My apologies, I did not know there was someone else here, as a matter of fact, I did not expect the scent that had somehow been calling to me to be coming from someone such as yourself." His right hand traced his tattoos once more before finally dropping to his side as the massive man pulled himself off of the table, the ground slightly trembling under his large stature.
"Well Hello there Kuchiki-San ..." It was no surprise to him that the commander could tell what family he was from, his did after all sort mostly ebony hair and a slate hued eye like most Kuchiki. Not only that the ornamental clips that held some of his bangs in place also clung to his head. So either way you look at it, even if you hadn't seen the kanji on his haori, you should be able to tell his lineage. The commander hadn't stopped there, however, he continued to explain to Kansei the reasons there was such an aroma.
"Hmm ... Hai I absorbed my Zanapktou long ago, and it's pwoers were based around Flowers and life, a side-effect besides my massive increase in Reitsu, was my reitsu gained its own scent that represented its powers ... so Now I smell like flowers." Well that certainly explained that mystery, however, how one could absorb their zanpakutou, or even want to merge with such a thing, Kansei could not fathom. Perhaps that was because he himself abhorred his zanpakutou. That disgusting little blade that happened to cling to his hip when sheathed, and even if it were not, was still part of his soul. It was absolutely appalling how his zanpakutou had turned out.
"I see... However, I do not understand why one would want to merge with their zanpakutou. It makes no sense to me."

The massive commander did not answer him right away, however. He continued on his gravely voice seemingly echoing in their general area, or perhaps it was just Kansei's imagination. "I'm Niaga Hinsshi ... Commander of the Kidou Corps force." Niaga-san would hold out his marred hand to Kansei whom would cast his gaze upon it almost studying the tissue. As he did this he seemingly began to zone out, studying every bit of the commanders scar marred hand and arm, and wondering why it had been as such. In doing so he would fold his arms across his chest, and his one eye continuously tracing the hand before finally after several moments he would snap out of the trance-like state as Hinsshi spoke again although Kansei missed part of what the commander had said before, "Seem's yah' got yourself a nice War Badge there ..." Almost as soon as he mentioned it, Kansei reached up with his right hand, the tip of his middle finger lightly brushing the scar tissue.

"Yes, it was a most unfortunate event..." His arms then dropped to his sides again as Kansei looked up to meet Hinsshi's gaze. At last he would reach out his much smaller in comparison hand as if to shake Hinsshi's. "I am Kuchiki Kansei, Captain of Division Six and Kuchiki Head." Kansei then went on at that point, seemingly rather talkative today. "The story? I am not sure you'd really care for it." No it wasn't that Kansei wasn't sure Hinsshi would care much to hear the story, it was more like Kansei wasn't very comfortable talking about it yet, after all, the fight that had caused the scar that marred his face had only occurred little over 3 months prior to this encounter.

[Niaga Hinsshi]

Hinsshi slowly raised his brow at the Kids words as he began to examine his offered hand for several long moments, "I see... However, I do not understand why one would want to merge with their zanpakutou. It makes no sense to me." He went on of course, stating his curiosity on the Kids scar's, however afterward he answered him. "Ahh ... one of those Kids that haven't accepted their Zanpaktou yet huh? I was the same way a Long time ago. I hated my Zanpaktou, it's powers drained life away to feed its forests with blood instead of Water, but as time passed I realized why it was so murderous. You zanpaktou is part of your soul, it is the compressed emotions you hold subconsciously ... if your Zanpaktou is of evil nature ... then you have emotions you have forced into your subconscious of negative feelings, regret, sorrow, hatred, or vengeance ... anything. Mine was Vengeance ... once I accepted that, my entire Zanapktou''s power, and personality changed. I've lived a long time ... If you cannot fathom wishing to be one with your soul's other half, that means you have some inner dislike or even hatred for it ... do not do this to yourself, or your full potential will never be released. Im not saying bond with it like I have ... but acceptance ... comradeship, that is the power of a Shinigami and their Zanpaktou Youngin'." He blinked and rubbed at the back of his neck giving a soft laugh, "Look at me lecturing you like some old man ... ah well, forgive me, it aint mah' place to say such things." he smiled a bit and shook the Kids hand, however he noted the Kids reactions to the Scar Tissues.

He however kept his comment to himself until he heard the Kids next words, and nodded a bit. "Yes, it was a most unfortunate event..." As the kid finally reache dout taking his massiv ehand, he was careful not to harm him as he shook his hand a few times with a slight grin, "I am Kuchiki Kansei, Captain of Division Six and Kuchiki Head." He nodded a bit, "A pleasure to meet you Kansei-San, nice to finally see a new Taicho for the Sixth Squad in all Honesty." He chuckled again a bit before he tilted his head, he knew when someone was uncomfortable with something, he nodded a bit and chose not to comment, instead he knelt down and after giving his hand a shake motioned over tword the table once again as he strode over and sat down with a sigh, snapping his hand as a long rod of pure Bakkudou energy formed in his hand without him saying a word and he leaned on it heavily like one would a cane, pulling out a Pipe and putting it into his mouth, his free hand snapped again as flames formed between his hands, and he lit his pipe puffing a few times before focusing on the Kuchiki Head. "Well, that is fine ... but i can tell from your looks yer' curious about mah' hand, so I'll tell you a story isntead, How's that?"

He grinned a bit, and reached down, rolling up the sleeve of that arm, it showed his skin was marred and nothing but scar tissue and calluses all the way up his arm to the middle of his Bicept ... burn wounds, burns on a level far beyond even third degree. "Ito Kaso ... In a single Word." He eyed the arm and gave a soft laugh. "I cant feel a thing in it, they managed to regrow my arm because Im so beefy I managed to keep the bones and tendons and some veins, but everything else was burned away using it on the Secunda Espada a long time ago. Granted, I cant feel a damn thing now and Its as hard as Iron, pretty useful in battle. But ... I still miss it." He frowned a bit and sighed, but then grinned and glanced at the other Captain, "Interested ...? You young people, even calm serious types like yerself' tend to like a good story." He nodded a bit, leaning back as he watched him curiously.

[Greer Tayler]

Kansei couldn't help but feel rather inferior as Hinsshi marred hand shook his. His own hand being so much smaller in comparison was so strange, after all, he was used to people only being inches taller than him and perhaps only about a slight bit more muscular, not over a foot taller and extremely muscular. It made him feel rather small in comparison, and yet, it wasn't all that bad. It wasn't like he felt terribly bad, in fact, it was rather intriguing how much smaller he felt. It was like he had found a new spot on the food chain or something.
"A pleasure to meet you Kansei-San, nice to finally see a new Taicho for the Sixth Squad in all Honesty."

Kansei looked away from Hinsshi at the mention of him being a new Captain. After all, it wasn't like he had wanted this title, this responsibility. "If you say so, honestly, I never wanted this title." He shook his head before looking to Hinsshi again, "Of course I understand my zanpakutou is part of my soul, but... I just cannot fathom why it has to be so grotesque. He trailed off as Hinsshi would begin to tell the story, or at least give a brief over view of what occurred for his arm to become so badly marred. As he would begin to explain, Kansei would listed intently and sit on the edge of the table next to the large man as he went on. As Kansei moved to sit, his haori would fall off of his shoulders and rest on the table barring the striped zig-zagging tattoos on his biceps and triceps that would lace up his arms to his neck and back.

"Interested ...? You young people, even calm serious types like yerself' tend to like a good story." Hinsshi would ask Kansei as he turned his head enough to barely view him with his left eye as he sat on Hinsshi's left side. "Do go on if you so wish." His left hand reached into the folds of his Kosode for a brief moment before pulling out a small case which Kansei rested in his lap. Within it was something most dear to the Internal Affairs Captain.

[Niaga Hinsshi]

Hinsshi watched the Kid turn his head and break eye contact at the mention of being taicho, he was about to ask when the Kid answered his silent Question. "If you say so, honestly, I never wanted this title." The kid then his head before looking to Hinsshi again, "Of course I understand my zanpakutou is part of my soul, but... I just cannot fathom why it has to be so grotesque." Hinsshi nodded a bit, and smiled shaking his head. "Well, you'l understand eventually ... my only advice ... try ta' think of somethin' negi'tive or painful, sad that has happ'ned to you through your life, that's likely the source." He shrugged, and then began on his Tale, well, its introduction and summary of it in any case.He was surprised at how closely the Kid listened, and simply shook his head and chuckled Mid-summary, before he noticed the tattoo's and raised an eyebrow, surprisingly Hinsshi seemed to hold many as well, but many were marred from scar tissue that seemed to cover the Juggernaut of a man.

He slowly took the Kids arm as he spoke his tail, silently examining the tattoo's, before nodding and releasing him, hardly was he being forceful, simply examining the markings with an artists eye curiously. Finally he finished the Summary before his Gaze fell once again on the new Taicho, glancing at the fact that he didnt react to his haori falling off his back in the slightest, somewhere between amused and surprised at that, as most Captain acts as if their haori were their life. Then the kdi replied to his Question, and replied in a normal calm very Kuchiki-way, which drew a soft laugh form him, "Do go on if you so wish." He nodded his agreement, and then blinked glancing curiously at the item in the Kuchiki's hands that he seemed to be holding as if it were some unknown treasure, obviously drawing his own Curiosity by sheer natural desire to know his surroundings.

He decided to focus on his story afterward, and began with a breath. "Well, it happened around three years ago, when I first became the Kidou Corps Commander ... I was in combat with a Espada, the Secunda at the time, Kuroi. He was far stronger then the Primera, though for what reason im unsure he kept his title of Number Two. He attacked and invaded the Rukongiai and em and my squad were forced to protect it, setting up a defensive perimeter, and then me, and my old Co-Commander and top three of my squad engaged the forces, i of course went against the Espada Himself. It was my first battle for many years ... and I admit I was rusty ... it went badly, for us both." He grinned, and then began the tail in full ... Click Here!
