The Meeting of Graduates

[Tsukuyomi Kawada]

Tsukuyomi walked through the streets of the Seireitei each one seeming to just be a replica of the last one that he walked through. Although Tsukuyomi couldn't actually see the streets so of course they were basically the same to him. Tsukuyomi was off duty for once and the seven division wasn't in need of him for the moment. He thought this time would be best to find somewhere to train himself to get stronger. It had only bee a few days since he had been forced to fight against Kisala.

That had been enough that it truly made him irritated with his own division along with division two. It had been childish to force the both of them to fight against one another. Yet what was pushing at the back of his mind was the fact that he had been unable to even hurt her. It hadn't been that she outmatched him in every possible area that wasn't it. Tsukuyomi had been able to keep up with her from what he could tell there had just been one problem.

Her spiritual pressure was far superior to his own which had caused any physical attacks that he attempted to use against her void. He hadn't thought that any low ranking Shinigami would have had such a larger amount of spiritual pressure then him, but he had been proven wrong. So now he knew that he had to get stronger in order to prove himself worthy of being praised by all of those that marveled at his rapid graduation from the academy.

That had already actually began to unfold though. Tsukuyomi had actually finally been successful in making a connection to his zanpakuto. He now could tell that it was different at least in it's sealed state then what he felt or had been told was average. He had it held in his right hand right now and was using it to guide him. From what one might see they would think it just a walking cane with a crimson clothe tied around the top under his hand.

That was when Tsukuyomi heard someone nearby and stopped walking. He listened intently for a few moments and then began to think that perhaps he was being watched by someone. He wasn't entirely sure who would wish to watch him though it made little sense. "Whoever is there speak or continue to move I will not have my time wasted." Tsukuyomi stood silent his voice as well as his face serious as time was essential in gaining strength.

The day just wasn't interesting. He had his classes of course, but they only kept him entertained for so long. They couldn't get him any full enjoyment since there was no serious fighting, only practice. Though, that had to be expected since he is only a student. Still, it began to seem more and more like chores to him rather than any actual training. In order to soften his load of boredom, even for a bit, he went for a walk around the Seireitei. The large white walls all looked similar, and since he wasn't very acquainted with the large complex yet, he got lost. Sighing, he decided to look around to see if there were any other students around here, taking a walk just like him....or something like that. "There has to be someone..." he said under his breath, but as he kept looking it seemed as if no one was really there.

That was when he noticed something that stood out: the Black and White robes of a Shinigami. Not just a student, like he was, an actual graduate who was put into a squad. He smiled wide and walked over, careful to come up on them slowly so he didn't startle them and make them think he was trying to attack them. When he took a closer look, he seemed to be walking using...some kind of weird stick? Was he injured and he needed a cane to help him walk straight? That sort of dimmed down his excitement. "If they're hurt and can't even walk, how can I ask them to train me?" Corv thought to himself. But, he could show signs of respect and help them.

When the Shinigami in front of him suddenly called out, Corvus was left a little startled. He quickly recomposed himself, and sighed again for his own stupidity. Of course he would call out, he could probably sense Corvus' reiatsu. There was no reason to come out slowly anymore, so he just walked up to the Shinigami and presented himself with a bow. "Hi there, my name is Corvus but people usually just call me 'Corv' for short. I saw you walking, and I was hoping that you could help me because I'm actually kind of lost." He looked at the Shinigami's hand once again and saw that is was no stick he was using, but his own Zanpakutou. "Hey, can I ask why you're using your own Zanpakutou to walk? Are you hurt or something? If you want, I'd be honored to help you in any way that I can." He couldn't keep the excitement from entering his voice and he felt a little embarrassed about it. 

[Tsukuyomi Kawada]

The sound of foot steps coming towards him and the release of a lung full of air meant that Tsukuyomi had been correct in believing that he was being watched. Now as the academy student walked over towards him Tsukuyomi continued to stand with what little height he actually had to his body. The voice that he heard meant that this person was male and it seemed that he was one that was very social just based off how easily he spoke and how fast he did so. It was like everything came out almost at once.

Tsukuyomi was facing him yet his eyes were closed as always which should have given the boy the information he needed to put the pieces together and figure out that he was in fact blind. That didn't get brought up though and instead the boy asked if Tsukuyomi could actually help him find his way somewhere that he didn't even bring up. Tsukuyomi shook his head slightly in disbelief this boy was random.

That was when he asked why he was walking sing his zanpakuto and Tsukuyomi's right eyebrow actually motioned upwards slightly in a questioning gesture. "How has he not put this together yet. Obviously he isn't going to get into the intelligence division." Tsukuyomi angled his face slightly upwards so if he could see it would be like he was staring the boy in the eyes. "I'm not injured you fool I'm blind. Now where do you need to actually go?" Tsukuyomi might have been a little harsh in other people's opinions, but in his own the boy had been an idiot and deserved it.

[Corvus Daemon]

As he listened, Corvus noticed that the Shinigami was, in fact, blind. He felt ashamed he hadn't noticed.....but also quite angry at the fact the graduate called him a fool. He sounded pretentious, and even if Corvus did respect him, he couldn't help but get his blood boiling. He cleared his throat before he spoke, "..Sorry, I guess I was busy just rambling on. I guess you must have a great ability to sense reiatsu huh? Otherwise you'd just be walked into walls, or slicing at air. Anyways, I'm trying to get back to the academy. I got out for a walk but instead I ended up getting lost, I'm not very familiar with the Seireitei yet." Corv tried to keep the tone of annoyance from entering his voice. Offending a graduate might not be the best idea....even if he did seem pompous. His eyes traveled once more the Shinigami's zanpakutou once more. Why was he using it as a cane if he could see with his sense? But, it occurred to him that physical objects have no reiatsu to sense. The assumption he could only see with reiatsu was, as it is, only an assumption. Either way, he needed directions and a graduate would be his best bet. He was also the only person in sight. Sighing, he looked around once more. The same walls, and same buildings...it must take experience to be able to maneuver your war through the place. Crossing his arms, he looked down on the short Shinigami. He was hoping to get an answer, but maybe he'd just get another "witty" response. 

[Tsukuyomi Kawada]

Tsukuyomi stood silently right in front of the other Shinigami. This other male it seemed was still in the academy something that Tsukuyomi really hadn't thought about since the academy didn't even have an impact on him. He soared through the academy in little less than a year and in that time he was filled with fuel to get stronger for the sake of his mother in order to find his father. As far as he could tell this male wasn't that much older then he was based on his voice it wasn't deep and hard like many of the men in the district that he grew up in so it made more sense that he was still young.

Now though Tsukuyomi was just getting irritated. This boy wouldn't stop talking it just kept on coming out how h was lost and didn't know where the hell to go. Tsukuyomi in all honesty didn't care. The boy was in no way connected to him other then being in Soul Society. "I don't know your name, but honestly you being here meant that you were not paying attention if you can't find your way back. If you wish to pass the academy and become a real Shinigami then you need to stop acting like such a dumbass or else it will come and bite you in the ass more then just getting lost."

Tsukuyomi spoke rather harsh like the few that knew him knew he did, but this boy didn't know that this was how he normally acted and spoke to those that didn't impress him. Tsukuyomi was done dealing with this boy and meant what he said so after he was done talking he turned around and began to walk down the street in the opposite direction. "Ridiculous that someone makes that type of mistake. Not worth my time to even help him. Better get back to the barracks and catch some sleep before I have to do more paperwork."

[Corvus Daemon]

Bit by bit, Corv's patience was getting cut shorter by the older Shinigami. Putting his hands behind his back, as if he was standing at attention, and gripping his left wrist with his right hand to prevent him from biting his nails. This Shinigami had already looked down on him, seeing him doing one of his most hated habits would probably make him see Corvus as childish or idiotic. He didn't need that right now. His left eye, however, he couldn't help or control in any way. It's twitching gave a sign to his anger slowly growing. He nodded in false agreement with the Shinigami. "Yes sir, you're right. I should pay more attention to the directions that we are given at the Academy. All I ask is that you give me a simple general direction of where to go. Otherwise, I will just wander around and get even more lost, making me have to annoy yet another, more respectable, Shinigami." He let a bit of passive aggressiveness to slip in to his response. He didn't feel any remorse about it, only a slight sense of satisfaction. However, the satisfaction was also twinged by a feeling of humiliation. The fact he had to be respectful of such a self-conceited, asshole of a Shinigami made him feel sick. It seemed to Corvus that he was too full of himself because he managed to become a Shinigami despite his limitation of being sightless. Corv made a mental note to bring him down off his high horse once he got strong enough. Maybe it would teach him some common manners for others. If he had to deal with these kinds of people in his own squad when he graduates, he might end up getting in quite a bit of trouble. "And that wouldn't be good now would it? Plus, if I don't get back to my studies and classes soon, it would negatively affect my own chances at graduating. If I don't graduate, I can't get into a squad and help defeat hollows. Who knows, maybe I'll even get into your squad? You wouldn't want to cause a possible future ally to fail, now would you?" With this said, he made a wide, fake smile to the Shinigami.
