Can it be done

Subject: Re: Can it be done Fri Dec 30, 2011 7:35 pm

Tachi squirmed uncomfortably and settled back into leaning against Itami. He wasn't going to speak- He wasn't going to say anything. If he defended Ajiro like he wished to Itami and Rizu would hate him.. So he would just remain quiet. He was content with the fact that he knew Ajiro wasn't bad. He would stay content with that fact. He was sorry for Rizu's sister, however. This conversation over Ajiro seemed to be between Itami and Rizu themselves, anyways.

*Rizu looked over at Tachi curiously, her eyes on her father's haori once more.* -He has Papa's haori...Ajiro had Papa's haori...what...what is this? Tachi-kun couldn't...- *Rizu shuddered slightly and looked back at Itami.* I don't like what's going on here.

Subject: Re: Can it be done Fri Dec 30, 2011 7:46 pm

I began to think of everything that had been going on here. Ajiro had dismantled Ayame. Tachi had Honjo haori. Could all this be connected somehow. Could Honjo be planning something rash. I'm pretty sure he knew what has transpired. I looked up into Rizu, staring into her eyes.
You don't think Honjo could be...could be planning on confronting Ajiro about this do you?

Subject: Re: Can it be done Fri Dec 30, 2011 7:58 pm

Tachi sighed quietly. Honjo versus Ajiro? Last time he had spoken to Ajiro, he had told him he wanted Honjo to die, and Ajiro had promised that he would kill him or make sure he ended up dying. But with this new information.. Was Honjo that bad? No.. Tachi's mind flashed back to their fight, and he heard again the words he had said. Even if they weren't true.. How could he.. Seeing how much that hurt Tachi, how could he have continued with that facade? No.. If Ajiro killed him.. "Ugh.." Tachi muttered, burying his face into Itami's shoulder. He had a headache.

*Rizu cringed slightly at what Itami suggested to her, taking a deep breath.* Knowing papa...probably so. I just...I hope...I... *Remembering when she had almost lost her father, tears welled in her eyes and fell silently down her cheeks. She turned towards Ayame and walked towards her body.* He's all I have left, really.

Subject: Re: Can it be done Fri Dec 30, 2011 8:07 pm

I nuzzled my head against Tachi, hoping he didn't feel my muscled arm underneath my haori. I smiled sweetly at Rizu.
Honjo is very tough and not easily beaten. When we had fought I could do nothing against his might. He is very powerful and his determination to protect those he love will see him through any situation. He will be ok.

Tachi sighed gratefully, closing his eyes briefly. His body shifted a little which caused him to go rigid in shock. Arms? Is that what he felt under Itami's haori? But.. That couldn't be.. He couldn't have them. He had lost them- What had been going on lately? He wouldn't say anything to this either, though. If Itami was hiding them for a reason... He nudged Itami's arm secretly anyways, to show that he had realized this. Leaving that subject behind in his mind, he gave a small frown at what Rizu said. "Really, Rizu-san..? To be honest.." And he gave her a small, weak grin. "It hurts to hear you say that. Where did me and Ita-chan go? I was sure we meant something.. No. He's not all you have left. You have your friends." He gave a slight wink. "That's something, right?"

Subject: Re: Can it be done Fri Dec 30, 2011 8:40 pm

*Rizu nodded slightly at Itami's words.* You're right. Thank you, Itami. *Looking back over to Tachi, she smiled.* Yes, I do have you. I meant nothing by it, Tachi-kun. I only have one father though...

Subject: Re: Can it be done Fri Dec 30, 2011 8:46 pm

I freeze as Tachi nudges my arms. It seemed that he knew about them. I nuzzle him as though nothing had happened. I look at Rizu and smile even though I was a little hurt on the inside that apparently I didn't mean much to her. A small tear formed in my eye at the mention of fathers, family. I turn my head so that they don't see this.

Subject: Re: Can it be done Fri Dec 30, 2011 8:53 pm

Tachi smiled back at Rizu, unphased. This atmosphere was down right depressing. Concern flashed across Tachi's features as he saw the look Itami had before he turned away. He moved one hand and laid the back of it against Itami's leg, reassuringly. What had happened? In this amount of time, what had broken everybody so much? Tachi sighed softly and brought his gaze to rest on Rizu's face again. "Oh, by the way.." He said as if an afterthought. "Ever heard of the maggots nest? Apparently the prisoners there were freed... But I've.. Taken care of, a few." He smiled sweetly at Rizu. "It's quieting down, but I still think it's an unneeded ruckus.."

Subject: Re: Can it be done Fri Dec 30, 2011 8:59 pm

*Rizu looked over at Itami, realizing she had left him out.* Itami-taicho, if it's not too much trouble, I'd like for us to have some time to talk later in private. Tachi-kun, if you haven't had a problem dispaching any of these inmates, I trust that you can continue to do so. I don't much like what's going on right now. Quite frankly I think it's a distraction. However, everyone is at risk until these prisoners have been subdued or killed.

Subject: Re: Can it be done Fri Dec 30, 2011 9:02 pm

I glanced at Rizu, and nodded at her. At the mention of the prisoners, I began to perk up.
Make sure you kill some for me Tachi.
I pushed him with my body playfully as I laughed.

Subject: Re: Can it be done Fri Dec 30, 2011 9:13 pm

Tachi grimaced slightly, covering it as best as he could with a smile for Rizu. *"Haven't had a problem" my ass... It took that much energy just to kill three of them..* Tachi smiled playfully at Itami back. "Kill people? I would never.~" He retreated back into his mind, waiting to be expressly asked to leave before doing so. He wondered what they would talk about- It had to be something, to exclude him from it.

*Rizu smiled softly at Tachi and nodded.* I have faith in your abilities. When this ordeal is over, come to me. I believe you're ready for your spar. *Looking over to Itami, she chuckles and shakes her head.*

Subject: Re: Can it be done Sat Dec 31, 2011 4:37 pm

I sigh as I stand, the happy moment having to come to a end. I walk over to reason and stand in front of her, looking down. For a moment I glance back at Tachi and smile.
Good luck my friend. May the insane be with you.
I turn back to Rizu and nod again.
Lets talk.

Subject: Re: Can it be done Sat Dec 31, 2011 4:43 pm

Tachi rolled his eyes and gritted his teeth silently. *Work my self to death killing off shinigami..* He giggled quietly as he stood and turned towards the door. *Sounds fun.~* He gave Itami and Rizu a quick smile and wave, and then made his way out the door, Houritsu-no-Kagyakuai already in his hand.

Subject: Re: Can it be done Sat Dec 31, 2011 4:50 pm

*Rizu watched as Tachi left and turned her attention back to Itami when
he was out of sight.* Alright, Itami. First things first, let me see.
*She raises her eyebrow and crosses her arms over her chest.*

Subject: Re: Can it be done Sat Dec 31, 2011 5:10 pm

I heard Tachi leave and gave a small sigh. I took a step back to give Rizu some room as I looked at her up and down. Her expression and posture presented how serious that she was right now.
I don't know what you're talking about.

Subject: Re: Can it be done Sat Dec 31, 2011 5:41 pm

*Rizu smiles softly and sighs, taking a step forward.* You underestimate me, Itami. Show me, please. *With a smirk, she tapped her foot impatiently. She had noticed Itami's aura flowing without disruptions for the first time since losing his arms; meaning he had gotten them back.*

Subject: Re: Can it be done Sat Dec 31, 2011 5:56 pm

I gulped as I took uneasy step back. I had totally forgotten about her aura sensing abilities. I sighed.
You can sense, or rather see, it can't you.

Subject: Re: Can it be done Sat Dec 31, 2011 6:04 pm

*Rizu nods once, still with her eyes on Itami.* Yes, I can. Very clearly. Papa had something to do with it, didn't he?

Subject: Re: Can it be done Sat Dec 31, 2011 6:13 pm

I sigh as I position my haori so that it flowed behind me like a cape. My arms were clearly seen now. They were muscled, thick, and hard. I stretched them out.
Yes, yes he did. I like that my arms are back, and I can feel that I'm stronger than before, but..but I don't feel as comfortable in these arms. They don't feel like me. I mean they are me but..I don't know, maybe I just got to get back used to them.

Subject: Re: Can it be done Sat Dec 31, 2011 6:27 pm

*Rizu nods and studies his arms and the aura flowing through them.* You spent a long time without arms and the arms you did have were bionic. It's natural. If you'll agree to, I'd happily help you get used to them in a fight. *She grins slightly and chuckles.* Besides, I think you need a lesson or two in hakuda, if you have no objections.

Subject: Re: Can it be done Sat Dec 31, 2011 6:30 pm

I grin happily as I flex my new arms.
A fight will do quite well. Lets go and have some fun shall we. Go easy on me now hehe you know I bruise easy.

Subject: Re: Can it be done Sat Dec 31, 2011 6:54 pm

*Tilting her head thoughtfully, Rizu grins once more.* How would you feel about raising the stakes a little bit? Increasing the challenge perhaps?
