The punk-goth was seen running across the top of the walls, jumping from one to another. A random soul reaper had been pacing down a path with a big stack of papers when a large gust of wind blew hard then made his stack tumble and fly through the air. "GAAAH! My Captain's paperwork!" the soul reaper panicked and tried his darnedest to catch'em all. Luckily, they all floated to the ground instead of flying far away.

"Put some fu*king rope around it!" Kai's strong voice echoed as she ran down the wall's edge. The scene changed to show her crazy grinning face with squinted lava eyes, sprinting with her arms moving back and forth. The head Captain's gonna train me today... WOOOOOOOO! HELL YEAH! HAHAHAHAHA! she mentally cheered. THEN I GET TO KICK THE SHIT OUTTA IKKAKU! HAHAHAHAHAHAAAA! TODAY'S GONNABE A BLASST!! her excited monologue echoed and her large grin never faltered.

DING! A random but comical sound appeared as soon as the scene changed, to show Kai sweeping the Dojo's floor. She looked annoyed while a sweatdrop hung on the side of her head, her lips were in a frown and barely puckered, to show irritation. Really... Did he really just make me...sweep the damn floor...? OF ALL THINGS WE COULD BE DOIN' RIGHT NOW!? she raged in her head, making hysterical angry faces.

The old man stood in the door's frame with his arms crossed and both eyes open, watching her closely as she swept. Seeing her with a sudden change in expression, his eyes squinted a bit.

She had a mischievous grin plastered on her face and a slanted gaze. Heeeeeee...heee..heeheheheheheheheeee... Plan B... As mischievous as ever, grabbing tighter onto the broom's handle she dashed down the floor and began picking up her pace. Back and forth she continuously went, going faster and faster until the dust in the whole room stirred into the air; blinding the head captain and making him shut his eyes. Once the dust cleared, he opened one eye and after a couple of seconds of gazing through the flown dirt, he grew shocked at the view. The whole floor was spotless, it even sparkled!

How in the world did she make this flooring, look as if it were polished?! The Head Captain shockingly yelled in his mind, as he gasped at the sight. He noticed her standing there with the broom in hand and on top of its bristles. Having a huge grin and slanted lava eyes present, she was looking all over the room and didn't even care to glance his way.

The head Captain cleared his throat with his hand in front of his mouth and the other on his cane. He saw her look his way and watched as her features changed from that wicked grin to a neutral one. "Suup?~" she asked in a slang style, tilted her head a bit to the side, and had that same look to her.

"That..." he started, before sighing. "Was supposed to be a test...of your patience... And it seems you lack in it... You grew bored as soon as you began... Which were two minutes ago..." he stated before walking toward her. He leaned his cane on the nearest wall and held up his fists, with a strict feature to his eyes. "Show me what you've learned on your own... From there, I will decide where to start you off in this training," his stern voice demanded. Seeing Kai smirk with her teeth in view, he felt as if he asked a wildfire to spread.

About five minutes into the spar, the Dojo had a lot of cracks, craters on the floor, and walls. One of the old man's eyes twitched from the performance and grew a bit agitated by her wild attacks. "That's enough, Kaiorin Koumetsu! It appears there is a lot to be taught... You lack self-control... Fight me with your hands alone, put your Zanpakuto away, and raise your fists! You've only stepped into the beginning of counter-attacking...but you need to learn how to block and dodge! Tomorrow you will learn how to dance... Dancing is a part of evading and moving swiftly, as well as how to be more flexible. For now, I shall teach you the basics of hand-to-hand combat." he explained and saw how her expression fell into confusion.

"First off... Dancing? I have been doing that but... Only outside though, where I have more room. Second... Counter-attacking? The hel- I mean... What's that...?" she blinked, with slightly widened eyes.

The Head honcho had wide eyes as well, surprised that she didn't know what that was. "How could you not know...what counter-attacking is, when you've been doing it for nearly five to six minutes with me, in our spar?!" he spat in question. Yama was entirely shocked that she wasn't even aware, that she's been counter-attacking a few of his attacks. It's almost as if it were instinctive... Contemplating in his mind, he stroked his beard in thought and stared at her risen-brow expression.

He sighed once more and put his hands back up. "First, if your opponent is stronger and attacks up close with his or her hands alone, you must deflect their attempts with your own swipes! Brush their fists aside until you see an opening," he stated then ran to her with his fists, of course, keeping at her level so he wouldn't accidentally wound her badly; she rose her fists as well and prepared herself. Once he was close, he began throwing punches that were just a bit stronger than hers only to have her brush her hands against his and swipe them away.

She had a straight, stoic expression as she kept her focus on him and his hands. Every now and then she'd miss and nearly get hit by his punch, though he'd stop before ever doing so. This went on for about a good ten minutes until he stopped and called the spar off.

"Your focus is good, but you need to improve... Your speed is in need of improvement as well. Now..." He walked over, trailed off, and grabbed his cane then back to her. Hearing him trail off like that made her quirk a brow and frown. "I'm going to swing this at you... DO NOT ATTACK, just keep your eyes on it and dodge," he demanded harshly. Watching her nod, he got close to her and swung over and over, then got faster with each passing moment.

She kept her slits on the stick but once he got past her limit, she almost got hit by not dodging in time. "I see... The speed in your evasion is decent but still needs work... Now, let's test your haste in attacks," she nodded at his words then rose her fists, making him step back to watch.

She punched the space in front of her, getting faster and faster as she went. All there could be seen were blurs of red flurries before her, but small signs of her arms in view. The old man studied her speed and knew that her attacks were faster than her ability to evade, which was actually no surprise to him.

"That's all for today, you are dismissed... We will begin training tomorrow morning," he demanded only to see her nod and walk out of the room, with her arms up behind her head.

She turned to face the old man before heading through the exit and kept her hands behind her head. "Oi... Erm... Sir... heh-..." The old man looked over and rose a single brow in question, viewing her from the side.

"Ikkaku and I, are gonna spar... So... You...wanna...come...watch...?" Kai asked hesitantly, it felt a bit awkward to ask knowing she had met him not long ago. There was just something about him that made her feel just a tad respectful. Damn, this is hard... I've never done this before... Offering someone something or an invitation... she muttered in her mind as she gave a casual expression to the Head Captain.

"I have nothing else planned today, so a break would be nice... Very well, where will you two be sparing...?" Asking in his usual strict tone, he kept his gaze on her and seemed a bit more...softer than normal.

Kai blinked with a bit of shock plastered on her face, though her mouth was still shut. "Dunno, he didn't say... I could ask if-" He stopped her before she could finish, by raising his hand.

"When both of your spiritual pressures rise, I'll know where you're at..." he reassured, having Kai nod in reply and awkwardly walk out of the dojo.

After she had left, Kai waltzed down the path and stared up toward the clouds. Fiery hues swirled in her eyes like flames or lava and thoughts swarmed her mind. With her low attention span at this moment, she wasn't watching where she went and bumped into someone's chest.

"The hell?" she questioned before realizing who she ran into. Her Captain, himself, gazed down upon her with boredom. Must-resist- must- resist must... Re-...sist... GAAAH! She got frustrated as she continued that sentence in her head, her fingers kept flicking out and balling back into fists. Restraining herself, using her own will...is nearly impossible... She jumped up at him, climbed the front side of his robes, and held onto him. "CAN WE FIGHT? CAN WE FIGHT? CAN WE FIGHT?! CAN WE CAN WEEEE?!!!! PLEASE-PLEASE-PLEASE-PLEAAASE?!!" she excitedly asked, completely forgetting that she had a fight with Ikkaku.

With her going on and on, her blazed reiatsu rose and made her ponytail rapidly float into the air. Her Captain's gaze was wide from the sudden outburst of eagerness but grew a large grin nonetheless. "Maybe tomorrow, Madarame told me that both of you were gonna have a spar. I ain't fight'n someone that's not at their full strength... Get yourself healed up, then we'll fight..." he answered then started to walk...with her still clung to his robes... Her face grew irritated but let go of him regardless. After he got a good distance away, she couldn't see the huge grin on his face and hear him chuckle to himself.

Kaiorin Koumetsu... My subordinate... I can always look to her, for a free fight. She's not afraid of me and loves fighting just as much as I do... his monologue echoed and not once did his grin fall; he thought himself lucky, to run into someone who was just as battle-crazy.

~~~Later~~~

After an hour of searching for Ikkaku...with a scowl on her face... She looked up at the sun and realized the time, it was in the afternoon. "Where the hell is he...?" she asked before stuffing her hands in her pockets. "Aw, shit... I completely forgot about that damn letter... I left it at my apartment..." she groaned irritably and looked toward the surrounding walls, jumped onto the edges then hopped from one to the other.

After several minutes of making her way to her dwelling, she shifted her gaze up at the staircase and attempted a high jump until she heard someone behind her. "Kai?" After hearing that all-too-familiar voice, she looked behind her and smirked really big.

"Yo.~ Morgus? What's up?" she asked after seeing him stand there with a letter. Jogging up to her, he gave her a big hug and let go with a content smile.

"Hey, Kai.~ I just came by to see how you were doing," he greeted and hid the letter behind his back then tucked the letter in his trousers so no suspicion would rise.

The goth put her hand behind her head and looked off to the side a bit while having her other hand clamped to her hip. "Well... You already know, that the Head Captain's training me... So I'm gonna be gone in the mornings... I also have a fight with Ikkaku at SOOOOME point today... If he'd hurry his hind end up, already..." she expressed annoyance in her tone whilst narrowing her eyes and growing a deeper frown.

"Well!~" He chuckled at her behavior with his eyes closed. "It seems you're quite busy lately! Wanna hang out sometime, I'm usually not busy in the afternoons," he sang before opening his eyes to her and shifting his feet, nervously looking around.

"Hah! Yeah, not like I hate it though! You know me, I'm not one to sit still... Well, I guess I'll see you, tomorrow man, gotta check on somethin' in my house... And yeah, we can hang out sometime, Cya man!" she chirped before Morgus rushed her into a tight hug. As he held her, he swiftly tossed the letter into her mailing slot in her door. Not long after, he let go, and a small laugh was under his breath. Soon, he waved goodbye to her with a big smile and a shut gaze.

What the fudge-nugget's wrong with him...? she tilted her head to one side and had both her hands grasped onto her hips. Turning around and shrugging, she jumped up in front of her door. In the entryway, she stood and walked into her apartment. Though upon stepping on something, she heard a crinkle and looked toward her feet. She sweatdropped at the sight as she went to pick it up, nothing but disgust could be seen on her face. "Another...damn...LETTER!!! Alright... I left the letter here that I got from that Hanataro kid...and now... There's another..." Those mumbled words wafted through the air and a low grumble could be heard.

A few seconds later, it showed a couple of soul reapers chatting amongst themselves while holding brooms in front. "WHAT THE BLOODY HEEEEEELLLL?!" Kai's strong and deep voice resonated from a great distance, causing the two reapers to tumble forward and almost fall flat on their face. Her voice even caused a comical earthquake... Huh...imagine that...

It changed back to show the punk woman standing in the middle of her room. She held the new letter in her hand and had a shadow over her eyes, with dangerously gritted teeth in view. One of her hands had balled tightly while slightly crumbling the paper up in one corner, with a tight grip. "Hooooo-ho-ho-ho-ho-hooooo..." she exhaled as she spoke and grew a grave smile, that shadow never faded from her infuriated face. "When I find out...who keeps SENDING THIS FUCKING LETTERS... I'M GOING TO RIP HIM APART AND SHOVE MY FOOT UP HIS ASS!" she screamed with dramatic, demented eyes and an enraged mouth.

She tore up the letter and set it on fire with yet..another random lighter. There she looked at the old, unopened letter which sat on her bed. Kai walked over to it and hesitantly opened it then started reading the contents. "Dear Kaiorin Koumetsu... You have no idea how long, I've been wanting to meet you... I've heard so much about you from my higher-up. I truly wish to know who you are, in person... My eagerness nearly drives me ma-" She stopped reading and began pounding the letter into her desk nearby. Out of nowhere, she wadded up the letter and tossed it into a metal can...which so happened to appear behind her at the time... She squatted down, rested her elbows on her knees, and tossed the lighter into the tin can, watching the letter burn with delight.~ "I...don't give two shits... ABOUT ROMANCE YOU FRICK-FRACK!" she stood up and screamed with hysterical white eyes.

Pacing toward her desk, she looked at the ball that Rangiku bought her then sat down and stared at it, before twirling it on the tip of her finger. "He'll come when he's ready to fight me... That's all I care about right now..." Those words mumbled from agitation and her eyes squinted with an unamused mouth formed.
