- Morning.
It was morning in the Seireitei and to say the least, it was beautiful. Beautifully disgusting. How he loathed it there. Sitting up from his messy bed, the 5th division lieutenant rubbed his bushy-eyed eyes opened, the sun blazing hotly into his room. Reaching over, he pulled his glasses towards them, released two huffs of air into them to wipe off any dirt on it. Adjusting the glasses, they fit perfectly on the bridge of his nose. It took a while to take his chocolate brown eyes to adjust to the brightness, which of course, wasn't too long. The world was filled with light. "One of these days, I'm going to live in a darker place..." He thought, annoyed with what was around him. The lieutenant fixed his hair a bit back and teased it, making it look how it always looked. Boring. At least to him, anyways. He fixed his bed, folded the blankets and put them away into the closet into his room. Sosuke would not handle filth in his room. As they say, cleanliness is close to godliness. Of course. No God was messy, it was an absurd thought. They were beautiful creatures, they that defied time, death, and life with their being. To be like that, that was his only wish. Well, it wasn't a wish because he was going to achieve it. He had the power, the skills, and the intellect to do so. After all, he was only doing the Soul Society a favor.
The man took a light step into the outside, the sun was even more intense on the outside than on the in, which only meant it would be a much harder and longer day. Well, nothing he couldn't handle. Today though, he wouldn't use Kyouka, since he had used her the last few days on field missions. The poor girl needed her beauty rest so that if anything big came up, she would be called in an instant. He knew how the game was played, and so far, he was the king at it. Nobody knew though, nobody ever noticed Kyouka. It was quite sad, now that he thought about it, that his beloved zanpakuto was never noticed as her. "When I make the world better Kyouka dear, they will scream of your name." Thought the man, praising his beautiful, flawless zanpakuto. For a moment, he heard a chuckle in the wind and he could only give a small smile back. Now, he was on his way to do some paper work at the Squad 5 office. Arriving, the brown-haired gentleman sat at his usual post, writing out paperwork that Hirako-taichou wouldn't do. Typical. He was probably out busy doing whatever he did. Watching him from behind probably. Amused with his own joke, Sosuke chuckled a bit and continued writing out papers with a happy mood.
Afternoon.
A time when things only got more hectic. Today, he had to go out into Rukongai, making sure that things there were okay, the people were satisfied with what they had, and no hollows were attacking. Hopefully, he wouldn't have to resolve to violence out there. Most of the subordinates did that, but you never know when one would show up. Exited the gate, he made his way into the town area of the first district. Wealthy people walked the streets without a care, as if everyday was leisurely. If only they saw life for what it truly was. These fools...they did not deserve to live in Sosuke's eyes. But even so, he hid that idea perfectly well behind his friendly person. "Are you okay Obaa-san? It's a bit hot, so I recommend you sit under some shade for a while..." Insisted the lieutenant, leading and elder woman to a shaded area. The woman only smiled kindly and shook her head. "It's alright sonny, I was just waiting for my daughter. She was out to get some supplies and is taking her time. I thought if I waited, she would find me, just in case she was done already." Replied the woman, patting her head with a handkerchief. Sosuke pondered on her words for a bit and then smiled gently. "I will go look for her then. She must have a lot of bags, so I'll keep an eye out for her and tell you where you are. Have a good day ma'am." Sosuke said cheerfully, and made his way towards the market place of the 1st district.
His eyes scanned the area faster than what usually can be detected through normal speed. The girl, as the old woman described, had long hair, tied up in a boy fashion, and had a strange birth mark on her forehead, almost like a star. Unusual, but he would not let it get to his head, he never did really. Such small matters would be dealt with sooner or--aha. There she was. Just as the old woman described. Putting on his usual persona, Sosuke tapped the girl on the shoulder gently, making her jolt out of her place and glare back at him. "And who are--woah. A shinigami?" She gulped, nearly dropping the stuff she held in her hands. Sosuke did not even have to blink to pick it up and it was magically back into her arms again. "Indeed I am young girl. Now, I believe your grandmother is waiting for you back at the town center. You shouldn't leave an old woman out in this heat, it would be dangerous for her health." Sosuke assured gently, smiling a bit as he talked. The girl rolled her eyes and cocked her head the opposite direction of his. "I'm not a child anymore. Besides sir, you shouldn't be patrolling~ By the looks of it, you have better, more...serious matters to do, no?" She said in a teasing tone, as if she knew what he was up to.
Ha. As if. He only smiled more and went behind her to give her a little push into the general direction of her grandmother. "That I do, but I occasionally like coming out here for walks, and check up on you guys because I can, not because they tell me. It's quite stuffy in there, doing paperwork all day can be tiring." "Ha, tell me about it. Being their dog, it must be hard right? When you have ideas, so far beyond comprehension, they wouldn't know what to say. They would consider you insane, mad even, and probably kick you out of society." She muttered but her words...they all made sense. He stopped, a seriousness plastered over his face. "Oh? What would a little girl know if such ideas?" "I'm not little for the last time, and you can quit the act, I can see right through you. It's a little, power I have. Besides, do what you want, because in the end, people like you will only be stopped." She grinned a bit cynically, running to her grandmother with a completely different smile. Sousuke's eyes trailed after her, sending death glares as well as a thank you all at once. With that incident over with, Sosuke returned back into the hellish gates of the Seireitei.
Evening.
Calm, serene, but not for Sosuke. His mind was still wrapped around the girl's words, it lingered over him like heavy incense. The lieutenant looked exhausted, lying in his messy bed, staring out into the twilight sky. Maybe...it was time to change but then again it wasn't. He and Kyouka, they wouldn't be enough, even if he wanted. Her complete hypnosis is perfect, true, but he would need more power to back it up. Shinji, ha, he wouldn't listen. His captain was wary of him, it was good that he was, only healthy since Sousuke did have bad intentions, but...who? Who would willingly follow him? Well, a bit of research wouldn't kill him right? Just not tonight, he thought, not right now. The girl, who was she? How could a child like that see right through him, as if he was like glass? Perhaps he had been over thinking things? No, his calculations were always exact. "Don't panic dear, I'm sure it was just a coincidence..." Came the soothing voice of his zanpakuto, Kyouka. She appeared before him in all her beauty, all her goddesslike beauty, nestling him in her arms. "I do suppose, but a child?...Well, maybe children are of good use. Great, now I'm starting to sound like a *****]" He joked casually, staring outside towards the moon. "Children see things much better than adults can. Their eyes are more aware of the world, whereas adults' weaken as they get older. Not to say yours aren't Sou-chan, I'm just inferring." Chuckled the zanpakuto, caressing his forehead soothingly, pushing away strands of his hair. The man could not help but chuckle and continue looking out at the moon. "Indeed. Well, I'll sleep on this then. By tomorrow, perhaps, there will a be a new world, for the both of us." Said the man to the spirit, who only smiling back affectionately before returning to her sheath. The man settled into his sheets before gently closing his eyes.
He would make a revolution, he was sure of that.
