With the Captains suffering casualties and heavy injuries on their side, all hope seemed to be lost... until Shinji Hirako appeared, along with the rest of the former Shinigami. Though the aid of the Vizards certainly helped to draw the battle in their favor, it seemed Aizen's power alone proved too much for them.
Seiji walked up the hill after obtaining his extra two jugs of sake. Three jugs to drink with, THREE! Tonight was going to be a good night! Seiji went and sat on the edge of the hill to wait for Kimiko. He started to remember when they had first met, and all the stuff that had happened from then till now. He smiled slightly. It seemed as if Kimiko was always around, even when he went to the world of the living, she happened to show up there! Drinking just to drink wasn't the only thing! Seiji had just gotten promoted to fifth seat! He was so proud and felt so high and mighty.
Seiji laid back and the memories continued to flow. He popped open the first bottle and took a sip from it. He shuttered slightly, not being use to drinking then took another drink. Kimmy! Where are you!? I wanna tell you the good news and start drinking!! Seiji began to think after the first few sips. He took one more then stood up and looked over towards where one would walk up. You do like to take your time, don't you? Seiji continued to think.
Seiji moved to one of the Sokyoku stands and leaned against it. He took another small sip and shuttered again. "She really needs to hurry up!" Seiji grew impatient waiting for Kimiko

There was quite a bit of work to catch up on and finally Kimiko made her way up Sokyoku hill. Seiji had some important news and wanted to celebrate with a drink where they had first met. Kimiko could relate to that she was pretty excited when she was promoted too. She walked up past the trees and out into the open to see the figure of Seiji in the distance leaning against one of the poles that made up the remains of the Sokyoku stand.
Kimiko walked up and looked at Seiji with a soft smile, placing a hand on her hip.
"Alright Seiji, whats this about and why did I have to come up here to hear it?"
Seiji had one sake jug in his hand already and two others laid nearby, had he already broken into one and started drinking? She started to wonder how much of a lightweight he was.

"What's this about? What else could it be about!?" Seiji laughed a little bit. He took another sip before offering some to Kimiko.
"Want some? I've got plenty, and I don't have to do anything till tomorrow night." Seiji smiled and held out the jug of sake to Kimiko. His thought began to trail off once again. Seiji and Kimiko had first met her, months ago, and this was the first time they had been back here since then. Seiji began to think of all the things that had happened since then. He had fought a menos, and lived, he had fought Kimiko, not once, but twice, one time him losing the other time, well, he will just call it a draw, and even him betting on a game using Kimiko. Seiji hadn't been that nice to her from what he thought of now, but why was that? Who knows?
Seiji came back to reality like usual. "So, yeah. I got promoted to fifth seat." Seiji smiled slightly. "It'll be more work for me, but you know, I have to go somewhere, or else I'll be left behind." Seiji looked at the ground. He was happy, but he also wanted more, just so he could be equal with his friends, he didn't want to have to obey their orders! Then again, he would have to.
Seiji looked over at Kimiko. He smiled slightly again. "You know, I still owe you... And not just for the kimono I scorched, but everything I've done. You've been nothing but good to me and I've been a real jerk. I just wanna say I'm sorry... Oh, and I got you something, I'll be right back." Seiji said before flash stepping away.
A few minutes later, Seiji reappeared with two boxes in his arms. He held them out to Kimiko. "One is the one I owe you, and the other... Well, the other was just for what I did that day." Seiji refered to the day when he had hurt Kimiko in more than one way. Seiji frowned a little then smiled again and took another sip.

Seiji laughed at Kimiko's question, "What's this about? What else could it be about!? Want some? I've got plenty, and I don't have to do anything till tomarrow night."[/i]
He grinned and held out a whole jug to Kimiko and she blinked and then smirked. "Not even gonna bother with cups eh, Seiji?" She thought about asking if he hadn't had too much already but decided to let him enjoy himself a little.
"So yeah. I got promoted to fifth seat. It'll be more work for me, but you know, I have to go somewhere or else I'll be left behind."[/i] Seiji smiled slightly but looked down as if he wasn't really happy.
"Really? That's great, Seiji! I'm really happy for you, you've worked hard for it." Kimiko smiled and kinda swirled the jug in her hands. He looked kinda upset even thought he seemed happy. Of course she couldn't hear what he was thinking about his friends ordering him around, not that she would.
He looked up from the ground at her again and spoke. "You know, I still owe you... And not just for the kimono I scorched, but everything I've done. You've been nothing but good to me and I've been a real jerk. I just wanna say I'm sorry..."[/i]
She tried to interrupt Seiji but she guessed he was a little buzzed. "...Seiji, you don't have to apologize again, I know it was an accident, just a heat of the moment thing..."
"...Oh, and I got you something, I'll be right back."[/i] She raised a hand but before she could say anything he was gone, appearing again moments later.
"One is the one I owe you, and the other... Well, the other was just for what I did that day."[/i] Seiji had two boxes in his arms and held them out for her. Kimiko was shocked and not sure what to say, the replacement silk kimono was a wonderful gift and now there were two more? Her face reddened slightly as she wondered about all the gifts Seiji was giving her, it was a little embarressing but she couldn't just refuse them and risk hurting his feelings. Even the look on his face as he frowned and smiled before taking another sip of the sake. She chewed her lower lip and then reached out to take the boxes with her free hand.
Kimiko leaned down and set the jug on the ground, then gracefully sat on the ground with the boxes in hand.
"Seiji, you know you didn't have to get me anything, This is your day for becomming a seated officer. The silk kimono was a wonderful present, what could these possibly be?"
She asked and arched an eyebrow with a soft smile as she slowly opened the first one.

Seiji smiled once again. "Well, one is a new kimono, the other..." before he could continue talking, Kimiko had already opened the box. Inside the box was a pair of chop sticks both which had a yellow feather on each, and along with those, there was a yellow band with a tattered feather attached. "... I made those for you. I thought you might like them, of course I wasn't completely sure..."
Seiji grabbed his jug and took another swig. His memories flowed through his mind. So much had happened in such a short amount of time. It was surprising to him. He began to lighten up from all the good memories he was remembering.
"Ya'know what? I've had a lot of good times over the last month or so... Everything has been good and now I'm higher up than I have ever been. Maybe I can get even further down the line..." Seiji smiled once again.
Seiji grabbed his fedora Ans places it on his head. He grinned and looked back over at Kimiko. "We need to have another spar, a good spar. Last time was kinda ruined, hell one of us end up in the er either way." Seiji laughed. He knew how they were and for some reason they end up hurting each other. He thought it to be funny, especially right now since he had been drinking.

Kimiko picked up the chop sticks and band with the yellow feathers on them. Certainly she wasn't going to use them to eat, so maybe they were meant as hair ornaments or something, that was a nice thought.
"Seiji, these are so nice, thank you."
Seiji went on to tell Kimiko about all the good times he had had over the last month or so and Kimiko had to admit it had been fun. She picked up the jug of sake again and held it in her lap.
"Well Seiji you know i'm behind you, I think you could get promoted more if you tried. I could hardly believe it when I got promoted to third seat, well, CO-third but ya know what I mean." Kimiko smiled back at Seiji as he grabbed his fedora and put it back on his head.
"We need to have another spar, a good spar. Last time was kind ruined, hell one of us end up in the ER either way."[/i] Seiji said laughing
"Well its probably not a good idea right now Seiji, you might have had a bit too much sake."

Seiji smiled as he was thanked for the gifts. Sure it was his day, but he had done so many things wrong... He had to make it up, or at least feel like he had made it up. He finished the bottle he was on and got the next one ready.
"I know you're behind me... But still. I've got a lot more a head of me and I don't know if I'm completely ready or not... Guess I gotta wait till I get there huh?" Seiji smiled again. He had a lot on his plate... and mind.
He sighed as he looked up at the sky and took another drink. He was already tipsy, and yet he continued to drink.
"Yeah... I know a spar right now isn't the best of ideas... I meant some other time anyway... Maybe once I'm on par with you... If that'll ever happen..." Seiji looked back down to Ikazuchi. That damn monkey was never any help.
Seiji's thoughts then took another road... Which turned into words rather quickly. "You know Kimiko... I look up to you... No, I adore you. You are amazing..." Seiji looked into Kimiko's eyes. It was weird... As if he was starting to have feelings for Kimiko or something! No it couldn't be, it's all in his head! Maybe the sake went bad! Or maybe he was really that drunk! He didn't know what to think.

Kimiko smiled as she stared down at the gifts that Seiji had gotten her, it was far too kind, and her mind kinda wandered on what she might wear them with. She heard Seiji talking about how he didn't think he was he was ready, but he had almost done more then she had, especially after this rumor of defeating a menos.
She shook her head at his self-depreciating talk and looked up at him with a soft smile, "You don't give yourself enough credit. Captain Kuchiki wouldn't promote just anyone ya know." That thought alone should inspire confidence in Seiji. "And before you know it, you'll be kicking my butt to your heart's content."
Kimiko smirked, but then again she didn't plan on making it easy on him either, she had a reputation to uphold and stuff. She just had to watch out for those high flying maneuvers that Seiji pulled out of his bag of tricks.
"You know Kimiko... I look up to you... No, I adore you. You are amazing..."
Kimiko's crimson eyes blinked rapidly as her smirk faltered then she blushed furiously and turned her head slightly. She stammered out a reply thinking that the sake was quickly getting to poor Seiji. "N,..No I'm not, you're just saying that." She self-consciously lifted a hand to brush her hair back away from the side of her face.

"Y'know... Maybe you are right. I can do better, I can be stronger, I will be! Maybe I should jump squads... More advancement, y'know? Maybe get up to be a third seat like you, or even more! But first that would involve me changing squads... But what the hell would I do, or go?" Seiji looked over the edge of the near by cliff. It was very interesting to see how far down it was, more so because he was on the verge of drunk.
Kimiko's crimson eyes blinked rapidly as her smirk faltered then she blushed furiously and turned her head slightly. She stammered out a reply thinking that the sake was quickly getting to poor Seiji. "N,..No I'm not, you're just saying that." She self-consciously lifted a hand to brush her hair back away from the side of her face.
Seiji came back over and rubbed the back of his head. "Maybe you're right. I have had quite a bit to drink. Seiji began to admit his drunkenness. This was very obvious for someone who was not Seiji, Seiji felt he wasn't that drunk.
"Anyway... How have things been for you as the co third seat?" Seiji thought he would try and forget about himself for a moment.
Post by Mikhail Rost on Jul 8, 2012 4:22:58 GMT -5
Kimiko was rather embarressed by Seiji's remark, so much so that part of his conversation was only barely heard. She started to wonder if in this drunken state Seiji might do or say something he would later regret and she didn't want their relationship to suffer because of a moment of misjudgement. But it seemed ineveitable for poor Seiji to stick his foot in his mouth somehow.
"Maybe you're right. I have had quite a bit to drink."
Kimiko blinked again, Seiji wasn't supposed to AGREE with her when she said she wasn't amazing. That was her being all humble and stuff! He was supposed to say,... "No, I'm not just saying that! You're great!" or "I'm serious Kimiko, I dont know what I'd do if you weren't around." Or,...or something complimentary and sincere!
She glared over at him all wobbly and slurring, and scoffed lightly turning away. "Hmph!"
It was only moments later that his other words reached her and she tilted her head questioningly as she looked back at Seiji incredulously. "Wait, jump squads? Why would you want to do that? And which squad would you want to join?"
When Seiji asked about her work she shrugged and brushed a fingertip around the jug of sake she still held in distracted swirly patterns. "It's consuming, lots of work keeping up with the information turned in by the patrol units."
