Chicks before Dicks. [[Observation Group A]]

As Neviah awaited the familiar presence to turn, she held her composure in anticipation for the awaited reunion of the two. She hasn't seen Eliah in so long, that she actually grew worried for her well being after their last training course. Neviah never knew why Eliah decided to never visit anymore after Neviah taught her the Dark Arts, because Neviah believed that teaching Eliah those skills would bring them closer, but instead it ended up driving them apart, which is the last thing Neviah would ever want. Neviah actually hoped that she was okay, and didn't happen to be hurt at any point like Nakami was once in her past, or worse, that Eliah would end up like Konomi and die. But fact was, Eliah was alright and it was proof by her being before Neviah right here! As Eliah turned, Neviah's smile grew in realization that it was indeed her wonderful friend, and she was safe after so many years within the Gotei. Of course, Neviah didn't mind the smirk and chuckle combo coming from Eliah, as Neviah didn't dare assume the intentions behind the body language.

Neviah listened with a blush from cheek to cheek in joy to see Eliah here and well, her arms in front of her, and hands clamped together, standing in a very proper form. When Eliah teased Neviah about becoming a Captain, her smile couldn't help but get a little bigger, knowing that she hadn't changed much in the many years they've been separated. Neviah was afraid that she might have changed and that wouldn't fit well for the type of person Eliah was! Everything sounded in order, and what made Neviah's heart skip a beat was hearing the nickname she was given by Eliah so long ago. Of course it wasn't unique that much, but hearing Eliah call her 'Nev' meant a lot to Neviah as it was to symbolize the bond they have crafted together the many years ago. It was looking to become a wonderful conversation till Eliah was cut off by the presence of Neviah's other extremely dear and loving friend, as well as Vice-Captain, Nakami Yui.

As Nakami stated it was somewhat odd to see Neviah here, at the 11th Division no less, Neviah couldn't help but mumble under her breath while twiddling with her fingers to seek the right answer. It is true that Neviah for a VERY long time has disliked the 11th Division due to their rude demeanor and constant abuse of her old 4th Division comrades, but it's changed honestly due to the new 11th Division Captain, Ibiki. Ibiki and Neviah were good friends as well, and relied on each other when their jobs needed it! Ibiki even got Neviah drunk for the first time in her life, and was something Neviah would never want to go through again, but they shared that experience together! Due to that, Neviah wanted to be there for Ibiki while she herself searches for a Vice-Captain. Neviah didn't have to go through anything like Ibiki did luckily, because she had her best friend cross over from the 6th Division to help fill that void! Without Nakami, Neviah would feel so very useless, and thanks to her, Nakami helps Neviah feel complete and well suited for her position as Captain.

After fumbling for words, Nakami finally asked Neviah who Eliah was, as she proceeded to use her head as a mantle for her own stance. Neviah's face grew beet red as she didn't know how to react in a way that wouldn't be disrespectful or rude to her best friend. Ultimately, Neviah just took it as she began to pout sadly, knowing she just can't beat her Vice-Captain in these kinds of things. What made it worse was that Nakami's breasts were pressing against her back, and Neviah hated feeling dwarfed in many different positions. One being height, and the other being bust. Neviah didn't come from a family with a healthy chest size sadly, so she couldn't help but feel completely defeated when compared to her own Vice-Captain. While Neviah stood there feeling completely dominated by her own Vice-Captain, she listened quietly to Eliah and Nakami converse about why either of them were at the Winter Fist Festival. Of course the sting got worse when Nakami said she was proud of Neviah making friends so quickly. Of course, Neviah was extremely weak when it came to social interaction, but she was 465 by golly, she shouldn't have to feel like a child in this situation!

Finally, Neviah decided to step up and be a good representative to Eliah and Nakami, as to perhaps bridge the two together and allow for them to perhaps be a group in this situation...

"O-Oh my, where are my m-manners... T-This is Vice-Captain of the 10th D-Division, Nakami Yui, my V-Vice Captain..."

By answering like that, Neviah hoped to not only state who Nakami was to Eliah, but also state that Neviah wasn't Captain of the 4th Division, but instead Captain of the 10th Division. Hopefully that'll bring some light to the previous confusion, as Neviah understands why Eliah took her for a 4th Division Captain, but there were a few reasons Neviah wasn't placed in the 4th. One was Neviah never wanted to feel like she was replacing Unohana. Neviah loved Unohana like her own Mother, because Unohana was her foster mother and raised her and taught her so much in life, that she wouldn't dare replace her! Another reason Neviah never became the 10th Captain was because it was discovered that Neviah is more of an offensive party and with her ties to her real Mother and Father on earth, Neviah would be able to perform the job of the 10th Division Captain very well with collaboration of her Mother Senna Clixx-Kimura, and Father Ceon Clixx-KImura.

Of course, Neviah now had to introduce Nakami to Eliah! Neviah removed herself from acting as Nakami's mantle and stool, and took a step forward, shifting her stance sideways now to get a view of both of them, and allow them direct eye contact to each other.

"Y-Yui-Senpai, this is Eliah-chan. A dear friend who I taught the D-Dark Arts about 100 years ago..."

Neviah then regained her cheerful smile as she awaited for the two to get acquainted together, as Neviah pictured the two for a moment. Neviah wondered how wonderful it would be if someday Eliah-chan was a member of hers, and they could all work together, as Nakami, Krystia, and Eliah, all together. It would really be wonderful and a fun experience for Neviah and she wished someday that it may come true. Either way, Neviah wanted to answer Eliah's question as to why she was here, but something instead grabbed Neviah's attention more, and it was the reason Captain Wolf and Captain Zeda were fighting.

"E-Eliah-chan... What do you mean things you brewed? W-Why are they fighting?"

Neviah was now genuinely concerned, as she hoped that Eliah wasn't in trouble for anything, as Neviah would do whatever was in her power to ensure Eliah wasn't in trouble, and Neviah believed Nakami would help her as well in ensuring that Eliah isn't just hurt again like she was long ago. Neviah has seen the memories in Eliah's eyes in regards to her abuse, and Neviah would never allow her to enter that pain again. Neviah loves Eliah very much, and will not risk letting someone compromising her already tarnished purity. Neviah may still be a wimp, but she has grown and she doesn't take much flack anymore when it comes to hurting others or taking advantage of others for their own sake. Neviah awaited Eliah's response to better understand the situation...

Nakami couldn't help but feel intrigued by these two women every time they opened their mouth. Nakami had grown fond of Neviah throughout their many years of being friends, even managing to become her Vice-Captain in the long run. The two of them had become great friends, not just holding a captain and Vice-Captain relationship. In fact, in many instances, outside viewers of their relationship would assume that it was the opposite way around. With Neviah constantly calling Nakami her 'senpai' on accident, it was easy to confuse their positions. Resting atop of Neviah's head, Nakami smiled softly for a moment. It wasn't done to make her feel above her captain, nor to dwarf her in size, but rather just a playful gesture shared between friends. Yet only at the last moment had Nakami realised her large bust was pressed up against the back of Neviah, resting just atop her shoulders and back. Shifting her vision by leaning forward slightly, the vice-captain would notice her glowing bright red. At first, Nakami had thought it was simply her growing flustered or scared from the sudden drop of a five foot eleven woman atop of her, softly. Upon further inspection, however, it seemed that her breast pressing up against her was the main cause. In the end, she couldn't change their size, so it was something that'd just need to be moved on from.

As she was shaken off from atop of her captains head, Nakami's chin had suddenly dropped, having her platform removed. A slight 'hm' echoed from her mouth as she rubbed the bottom of her chin. She had looked at Eliah now, she had been introduced as someone she trained in the past 100 years. Yet she was surprised by this, not because of Neviah having friends outside of her knowledge, but more because she has actually never heard of this woman in her life. Yet she couldn't help but let a small smile overcome her, the stuttering in her initial sentence made everything clear to Nakami. Perhaps she shouldn't have shown up here, perhaps it was a wrong decision to interfere in whatever exploits Neviah and Eliah were up to. If her captain was here, that meant she'd be able to go home as a representative of the 10th Division was already here. Sighing to herself, she'd simply look at the iced woman before her eyes and then shift towards Neviah. She didn't want to be the burden on this meeting, yet she would at least apologise to these two.

"I'm sorry, Neviah-sama, Eliah-san. It wasn't my place to just throw myself into the middle of your conversation like that. It was not my intention." A soft smile would still cover her mouth as she would now bow to either woman, right arm crossing her chest in honour. Making her body upright once again, she would then look towards Eliah after being introduced, the fan placed inside her Shihakusho earlier being brought out and placed in her left hand, fanning her face once again. "I apologise if I have intruded or made you uncomfortable, Eliah-san. If you wish me to, I will let you two be. As for your question, I am here merely as a representative of the tenth division. Had I known Neviah-sama would show up herself, I would not have bothered myself." Looking at her fan for a minute, a soft sigh would overcome her. Perhaps she was being too intrusive, as Eliah had said. Perhaps she was out of place. Making Neviah visibly uncomfortable and putting her friend on edge was not on her agenda, but in the end, that was the past. She needed to move on from such things if they were to continue forward. It was no surprise Nakami thought this, however. That was her general psyche. Ever since being saved by a white-haired man as a child, the very man who gave her inspiration to be a shinigami in the first place, she had this mentality. To dwell on the past was the equivalent of cutting open old scars, they would never truly heal unless one let them be.

Walking down to the side of the ring, Nakami simply placed her hands on her chin, using her elbows like a stand, not unlike to what she did to Neviah but a few moments ago. Her vision would fall upon the beginning of the fight. They were fairly close to the battle, so it was very possible for Nakami to observe the fight as well as hear the conversation. "It is a deal for us, slightly, Eliah-san. Wolf is known for is erratic behaviour. Even as spectators, we need to be on edge, or it's likely we will be dragged into the battle none the less. I was in the sixth division at the time that man decided it was a good idea to fight and blow most of it up. I know what he is capable of, don't take him lightly. Just stay ready to defend yourselves and those around you at any cost. As for Zeda... that man is a Yuudeshi. I believe we are all capable of appreciating what kind of destructive power he holds within him. He may not be as manic or insane as Wolf Lionus, but Zeda is powerful." A soft sigh yet again crossing her face, followed by a reach into her pocket, pulling out a small bottle of water. Taking a sip, she would remain leaning over the edge, simply looking onwards at the destruction brewing. She couldn't help but feel this fight would get out of hand quickly, and that no matter what anyone did, intervening in the fight would be a near impossible feat.

The analysis of Nakami wasn't wrong. She was knowledgeable about those around her, she withheld a lot of information within her, not only about the Seireitei, but as a division that was to deal with the 'real world', she had to store a lot of information. It wasn't a matter of who would win the fight before them, it was a matter of when would it stop? Turning her body around and leaning against the railing, Nakami tilted her head and looked at the two of them again. "Which squad do you reside in, Eliah? I'm surprised I've never seen you before... Once I see a face, I never forget it."

Eliah watched as Neviah began to grow red in the face as she come to notice Nakami's breasts were pushed against her back. Which was the typical Neviah and caused Eliah to roll her eyes in embarrassment that this woman was considered to be her one and only friend within the Gotei 13. However, it was slightly odd that she still even considered Neviah to be a friend to her as there was so much that Eliah wanted to be answered. However, this wasn't the proper time or place to begin conducting an investigative interrogation on what happened to Neviah so many years ago. She had no hard feelings on it, and just wanted things to go smooth with this meet and greet. She was already stressed enough about the fight that was taking place at the moment, as it held the future to which division she would be entitled to.

Neviah returned from being embarrassed due to her friend's back ache now becoming a back irritation for Neviah and began to extend formalities between Nakami and Eliah. Eliah was slightly baffled when Neviah said that Nakami was her Vice Captain as at first glance she didn't seem like the squad 4 type, but when she stated that she was in the 10th Division Eliah couldn't help but blurt something out concerning the matter.

''What the hell is this new Captain Commander thinking? Why are you the captain of the 10th Division you're not even capable of scaring a cat out of your path.''

Eliah spoke with excitement and slight frustration, not understanding how any of that could be possible. Nakami sent a bow her way as well as Neviah's which only struck an arch in the brow of Eliah, and brought her attention away from the previous matter. It wasn't often that Eliah was being bowed to, but she figured she'd just go with it as she performed a semi-proper bow to the girl in front of her. The red head continued on apologizing for intruding which made Eliah chuckle lightly as she listened to the rest of what she had to say. She offered to leave, which didn't seem like a bad idea to Eliah, seeing as she wasn't a big fan of people in general. However, she figured a friend to Neviah could be interesting to see for herself as she thought to be a rare occasion.

''No, you're fine staying where you are, fire crotch. I'm actually rather tickled at the fact that Neviah managed to obtain yet another friend. Turns out she's starting to become quite the social butterfly... Has this sort of thing became habitual for you, Neviah?''

Eliah spoke small bursts of laughter finding their way into her speech here and there. The situation was odd that was present in front of her, she had never witnessed Neviah with anyone but herself due to her social anxieties and tendencies. It made Eliah feel a bit better about what memories she recalled while she was training, and let her cast those thoughts to the side for now. Turning to Neviah as she began to spoke, but stopped herself as Nakami began to speak and took in what she had to say. Eliah must have been in a good mood today, as she was being quite the listener. She explained the two combatants as though Eliah was unaware of their skill, well she was for the most part, but she could have guessed by the just glancing over at the battle. Nonetheless Nakami was correct, if they didn't want to get swept up by this it would be wise for them to pull away from the source. Now seemed to be the best time to explain herself to Neviah in regards to the battle that was underway.

''Well, you see... just a few months ago I went to get a drink at the pub, but turned out it was shut down. So I went back into the walls and found a pub that resided in here. Which I didn't even know existed, mind you, or I would have went there to begin with. Either way, I walk inside and Captain Wolf is sitting there drinking God knows what something dark and strong, you'd vomit if you were within 10 meters of an open container, Nev. Anyway, so we start talking and...''

Eliah paused for a second to withdraw a cigarette from her person, placing it in her mouth and lighting. Blowing the cloudy cancer into the air away from Neviah and her friend. She couldn't resist pulling one out as she began to speak of drinking alcohol, it was just a trigger was all. It wasn't something Neviah was unfamiliar with, but still didn't like.

''Turns out over the time we hadn't talked or anything I became the world's biggest sack of shit and didn't do anything. Well, it wasn't all my fault apparently, because I wasn't being given the correct pushes to do anything. Anyway, Wolf and I spoke and then soon enough here I am in the Eighth Division.''

She continued to take puffs between her sentences and then laughed at the end of her last sentence. Her face then drew blank as she came upon the astonishing fact that that didn't even answer Neviah's question.

''Well, that doesn't really explain much, I suppose. Ok, so then a month or so after that I had regained some of my gun-ho Gotei Go style that I once had, back when you and I were training, did I mention I had completely forgot all that training during that brief time of being a lard ass until recently? Yeah, ok so, I met Zeda not too long ago, and he treated me like a piece of meat as he does with every woman, I can guess, and then asked me to join his squad. I kind of got mind-fucked for a little while there and then broke down into tears and I couldn't handle the battle going on in my head. Then out of no where Wolf shows up and wants to know where I am going to hold my loyalties to him or Zeda. I couldn't decide so they decided to fight for it, and yeah I'm sure there is more to their relationship than that, but that's why I'm here and that's why they're here and yeah.''

Eliah gasped slightly trying to find some air after she had just spoke at a rate of 0-60 in seconds then took a long drag from her cigarette and exhaled, trying to keep the smoke from making its way to Neviah and Nakami. Something she used to not really care about. Finally, Nakami asked a question where she resides, most likely not hearing most of what she was saying or just being confused by the long story in a whole and Eliah's inability to summarize properly.

''Well, as of right now I guess I'm with Wolf, but that may or may not change depending on the outcome of this fight... I could say the same for you, however. I've heard of you, neither, so don't get so high and mighty there, 'Vice Captain-sama-senpai'''

Eliah mocked the girl as she felt slightly insulted by the question to start of with, whether Nakami meant to insult or not. Eliah's guards were just always up for one reason or another...

Neviah slowly walked over to also observe the happenings down below. She wanted to get a better look at the males that were trying to fight over Eliah like a piece of meat, instead of respecting her for the independant being that she really was. Neither of them have seen inside of Eliah’s own soul, or seen what pains her so to a point it inspired a personal mission of her. Instead they view her as some prize and that was something Neviah couldn’t allow a friend to suffer from. She just watched with a disappointed expression, trying to gauge what was going on in the minds of the two Captains, each oblivious to the intentions and thoughts of others. This sort of thing is insulting to the title of Captain, and is not worthy of being gauged as a Leader. For centuries, Neviah was a Vice-Captain and lead by example and integrity to the best of her capabilities while under the watchful eye of Unohana, and in the end she ended up becoming the Captain of the 10th Division. Neviah is still learning the role of Captain, but as a Captain she puts others before herself, and lives under the code of Integrity First and Service before Self, so that means taking care and accountability of her troops.

Neviah looked at Nakami, observing her taller form, and her form as she stood and represented herself to the public while in the environment. She was strong, bold, and able of mind with the capabilities of even being a Captain herself. The fact the stayed with Neviah for this long though was not only Nakami showing her respect and dedication to Neviah, but they put each other before themselves, and that was something that the two males clearly lacked within the ring. Who knows, perhaps Nakami will replace one of them in the future? But till then, Nakami has earned her way and with the right people above her, has been given many opportunities to grow and become the strong willed woman she is today. With the same type of guidance and friendship, Eliah could become just as great. But sadly, Eliah won’t be given that chance as long as she is tossed around like something to be displayed. With that type of mentality, Eliah will never become strong, and what’s worse is, she’s just playing into what broke her in the past. Neviah has seen first hand through her memories what broke her spirit, and the fact that males are now fighting over her just plays back into that.

Neviah frowned as she listened to Eliah speak to herself as if she was just a worthless sack of shit, sitting around and doing nothing, which tore Neviah’s heart in two. Neviah didn’t want to leave Eliah so many years ago, but she couldn’t help it. Unohana was the first to see Neviah’s Malice, and thus Unohana took Neviah away to hide her from the Gotei from anyone seeing what type of monster she became. Then to add to the matter, Neviah was also taken by the Curse of the Rosaries, and forced a reset with her Mother, Father, and Aunt. Neviah was taken and while the outcome of it was good, Neviah got to see Shadin Yuudeshi for the first time, as well as adopt some of the memories and skills of her family, she was also torn from two blooming friendships, with Nakami and Eliah. Eliah happened to disappear, but Nakami was quick on the rebound as when Neviah was removed from the 4th Division Vice-Captain slot and put into the 10th Division Captain slot, Nakami was right there to accept the Vice-Captain invitation. Though, with Soul Society being so big, it can be difficult to track down and locate one being from all the change. Even Eliah admitted she was no longer in the 2nd Division and that alone makes things difficult, since Neviah only knew Eliah to be within the 2nd Division. It was how she learned of her Father, Ceon, and how she wanted to gain his power to protect herself.

Neviah had an idea…

”Yui-Senpai… We have the 3th Seat still open within our ranks, correct?”

Neviah of course knew the answer, but she wanted Nakami to pick up on her intentions. Neviah could not, and would not allow either of the male Captain to take Eliah and treat her as some toy. She was a living and breathing soul, and she deserved to be treated as such, and Neviah will make sure that happens, as not only a Captain of Integrity, but also as a friend of the woman.

Neviah turned facing Eliah with a different appearance as she would recognize. This was the Neviah with focus, and a mission at hand. When Neviah holds this appearance, she has the same determination as her Father and will work to accomplish any goal, no matter how difficult it may be. The weak willed and timid girl wasn’t here right now, as this was the true Neviah that was Captain of the 10th Division now before Eliah.

”Eliah… What are you doing? Why are you allowing yourself to be a plaything between men?”

Neviah approached Eliah and was now looking her dead in the eye, her own tan eyes sharp and full of determination as she looked once again into the very soul of Eliah, seeing the cold and barren wasteland of her heart. Neviah’s eyes began to glow, to once again see how Eliah’s purity was robbed of her many years ago, and with Neviah being the Memory Rosary of Purity, she would not allow another being to become enabled to lose that precious joy once again. Neviah will do what she needs to do to not only preserve Eliah’s remaining purity, but will help her grow and become pure once again as to no longer become weak and enabled by others.

”Don’t let them do this to you Eliah. Come with me. I have an officer position open and you can grow with Nakami and I. You don’t need either of those males in that ring, and whats more, you don’t need the very gender that hurt you to once again play with your body like in the past.”

Neviah awaited. She waited while Eliah pondered the statements of Neviah, and she kept her ears open for Nakami. If Nakami had any comments, Neviah would want to hear them, thus she listened and allowed her Dark Arts to activate, becoming one with her surroundings. Neviah heard every sound, step, whisper of the wind, while at the same time could feel every soul in the area. Neviah did this because Eliah knows the Dark Arts too, Neviah taught her. Neviah wants to see if Eliah remembers who she was, and was willing to return to her personal mission.
