Kuchiki Keiko

Keiko sat in her wheelchair in the Kuchiki Manor courtyard. The familiar once, where spent her time being tutored. In light of her accident, many of her tutors were given time, as several subjects couldn't be effectively tutored. Some of the tutors even resigned in light of the event, and around this time of day, that tutor would be the one teaching her. In their place, Yamamoto came by to give Keiko her lessons.

"That's basically how you do that kidou. You get it?"

Keiko stared up at the sky, not paying a lot of attention to his lesson. Her focus was reoriented when she felt a sandal slap her in the shoulder. Normally, he would've thrown it at her face, but for obvious reasons, that seemed to be off the table.

"Oy, I'm givin' a lesson 'ere! Pay attention, dammit!"

"Sorry, Yamamoto-sensei. It's just hard to take these formal lessons so seriously from you. Also, I can hear someone coming from the hallway in this direction, but I'm not familiar with their step."

Having recently temporarily lost her sight, Keiko's hearing gradually became more and more acute. Such that, she could even start distinguishing people based on their gait, and the sounds their footsteps made. Many people also made very light, indistinguishably different steps on account of their training, but naturally those people always ended up as Stealth Force members.

The kuchiki manor had been a surprising detour. I never thought I would ever come to this place. Ikiya made a special exception to step foot around a noble house. That exception was if she ever knew someone back in the Academy. There was, however someone she knew. She was the one born into a privileged family. Ikiya had the sense for knowing how to act around nobles.

She learned about what happened to Keiko. It was unfortunate to know that she’s crippled. Ikiya wanted to swing by in order to check up on her and see how she was doing. Now that she’s crippled, at least she doesn’t have to go to school. Ikiya let out a small laugh, before turning to a corner that was stretching a long narrow path that lies an open sliding door that led a room. She made light of her condition. Unaware that, Keiko would be getting tutored in her home. Ikiya could notice two voices having a conversation. She made her appearance, as she had entered inside Keiko’s room. Damn, is she really getting tutored? She can’t even see, let alone walk. If Keiko had an affinity for reading emotions, she could tell that Ikiya didn’t quite like the sight she was seeing. Fortunately, she shrugged it off before she began to speak. “You should learn my footsteps by now, I don’t wear socks. Though it can’t be helped, I’m pretty light.” Ikiya commented on her hearing capabilities, as she lifted her left leg up from the wooden surface of the manor and wiggled each of her toes.

“Did they tell you how long the healing process’ll take” Ikiya was curious to know about her condition. It would be tragic to hear that it might be permanent, but she didn’t want to think that it is.

Kuchiki Keiko

"Eh? Ikiya-chan?"

Keiko pulled at the wheels of the wheelchair to swivel around and face the door to the courtyard. She couldn't see anything, but it was a habit of a girl who used to be able to, that you would look in the direction of the person addressed.

"Who's 'dat? Someone you know, I'm guessing?"

"A friend from the academy."

"Gotcha. I'll just give you two some time."

Yamamoto passed by Ikiya through the same doorway to exit the courtyard, languidly scratching at his side on the way out.

"Ikiya-chan, I'm glad you came; though, I'm surprised. I didn't expect you to come all the way here, especially since it's a Great Noble's manor. Thank you.

That said, now that I've heard it, I won't forget it. The sound of your footsteps, I mean."

Keiko heard the creak of the wood when Ikiya lifted her foot to wiggle her toes. She couldn't see what was going on, but knowing her friend, the imagery came to mind. She enjoyed going barefoot herself, it just felt more natural; in her mind, just like old times, Keiko wiggled her toes as well, though in reality nothing down there was budging.

"My eyes should take a few weeks still. My legs, they're not sure if that'll ever return. But, that's okay. I'm still hopeful to do the things I love to do, or try my best at them."

She wore a smile, not quite as wide as a genuine smile of hers would normally be, but it was still hopeful. A bit pained, and not quite as brave of a look as the words she was speaking, but Keiko smiled all the same.

I didn’t expect myself to drag my well being all the way here, either. I would already get my fill by stealing at this moment. She took the time and liberty to pay, Keiko a visit. If she knew Ikiya well enough, she’d already end up snooping around all of seireitei to find valuable things. However, she was beginning to feel bored. She wanted to find a way to get her hands on more precious things. Ikiya heard about the human world, but had no way of accessing it. It was a drag, as she was hoping to get her hands on some expensive treasures that could make her a fortune. It would also further advance her talent as a puppet maker. “Well, considering you are injured. A friend has to come by once in awhile. Besides if it wasn’t for the news about your health, spreading like wildfire. I’d probably be doing other things.”

That last part was more or less sarcasm, as a small laugh appeared before, Keiko. Ikiya became more prone for sniffing out news and rumors. People had a habit for talking up a storm and if it involved someone from a noble house. Surely the news wouldn’t be hard to catch. Not to mention the type of people, Ikiya’s around do love to say outlandish things. Keiko began to explain her condition. It didn’t sound all too pleasant in her ears. She can be a good sensory type fighter, even if her vision is gone. Shouldn’t be too big of a deal Ikiya started to think about what type of fighter, Keiko can become. She wasn’t all that useless. Comparing to Ikiya, she’s probably way more capable of fighting. “You know, if I had access to the human world. We could’ve already get you all fixed up” She was serious about the potential in getting, Keiko healed without much effort.

Kuchiki Keiko

"Eh?"

If there was a shade of surprise, it'd colour Keiko's face right about now. The living realm... it was a place Keiko wanted to go to herself. It was an idea the two of them bonded over in the past, given their mutual interest. Keiko never went to the point beyond entertaining it, since the responsibilities to her clan and to herself meant she had to stay. But, now? The mention of the Living Realm opened up the realisation that she probably wouldn't have to dedicate herself so wholly to those responsibilities. There was probably some room for a bit of travel--especially if someone came along with her as a chaperone and teacher. Yamamoto would never agree to it, but there was one person she already went to the Living Realm with.

"Ikiya, would you be open to going to the Living Realm with me? Oh, and one of my teachers. I'd have to ask them first, of course, but if they said yes, we could probably do it."

The question on if she wanted to go to the living realm, struck her like an arrow to the chest. Huh? She stumbled as she had accidentally tripped on her heel of her left foot. “Ouch!” She was caught off guard so bad that she fell, from the question that left out of Keiko’s mouth. What kind of business does she have in the human world? Ikiya was shocked and excited by the chance to go to the human world. She hadn’t thought that, Keiko would want to go. Not in the condition she found herself in. Oh, that’s right! She forgot to ask who gave her those injuries. Ikiya hadn’t thought about what course of action she should perform, if it was done by someone or just a natural accident.

Ikiya got back up from her two feet, before walking closer to, Keiko. “Say, have you happen to know who put you in a wheelchair?” It would be humiliating to see someone walking around, going on about their day, while she was sitting in a wheelchair. Ikiya wasn’t someone with the brauns to go out and beat someone up. Not in the current state she’s in. She can hardly conjure up a single kido spell, despite the only one she knows. “Oh, the human world...Right, of course I'd like to go.” Ikiya stumbled upon her words, but was finally able to spit out the rest of what she was going to say. I have some business I’d like to take care of Ikiya compiled a list of things she wanted to do, while she was there. Shopping for clothes was one of those things. She was tired of all the plain black and white and needed something new and fashionable.

Kuchiki Keiko

"Great! I'll ask the person who can take us the next time I see them, and when I find out if everything's alright, then I'll send someone to talk to you, and we can go then. Or maybe Auber-sama and I can pick you up along the way."

The thought alone of going to the Living Realm put a smile on Keiko's face and lifted her spirits. The only thing that could bring them down was exactly what was brought up. The question sent a chill down Keiko's spine, and her whole body shuddered. It wasn't a memory she liked reliving, or even talking about. Just thinking about it had the entity in her shriveling and clamoring about. Keiko was clearly visibly disturbed by it, and her hand came over to wrap over and around the elbow of her other arm.

"Uh... yeah. She's, uh, her name is Shihouin Kintori."

Good idea to bring someone who knows how to open some gateway between here and the human world Ikiya wanted to learn the ability to travel in and out of the seireitei without the need of any assistance. She was truly curious about the world that lies outside. The feeling she had in regards to the outside world, was like a child eager to open a gift during christmas. There was a lot of things she wished to do. I have to get my hands on that sort of technique Ikiya appeared to be incredibly invested in the human realm, way more than her training process now. She couldn’t help but laugh, but the laugh didn’t feel ordinary. It would resonate through, Keiko’s ears that Ikiya’s laugh sounded evil.

Ikiya didn’t know anything interested her so much, existed. The opportunities are endless, just the type of unique items I can get my hands on Ikiya held one hand onto her right arm, giving it a firm grip. Alright, calm down. It shouldn’t be that amazing of a travel. Obviously i’m going to be watched, if we go there together Ikiya took a deep breath, before coming back into her senses. She almost forgot that she’s standing in the same space as, Keiko. “I apologize if i was acting a bit strange, I couldn’t hold in my excitement, ya’know.” After coming back from reality, Keiko revealed that the person who caused her to be put in a wheelchair, was a shihouin. Kuchiki’s and Shihouins don’t really get along do they? Ikiya wasn’t too familiar with the two clans pasts, considering she isn’t apart of them and would be considered a commoner, amongst the nobles. ‘You shouldn’t let their actions go unscathed, it’s dishonorable to allow your foe to walk the earth with no scars.” Ikiya wasn’t sure if she wanted to sound like a true knight, or someone who has personal feelings in regards to getting hurt and no power to fight back. Either way, she never liked the idea of someone walking away clean. It feels like she didn’t put forth the effort, because Ikiya would’ve done more than give birth to minor bruises.

“Do you know a way to get into the human realm, you are a noble so I’d assume they would give you some special knowledge”

"I think I'm okay for now. I'll get her back at some point, but for now it's probably best that I rest and focus on regaining myself."

Ikiya's suggestion definitely appealed to the Keiko right after her injury. Even verbalising the suggestion had the entity inside practically excited, if not just motivated to act on those words. Of course, the Keiko in the now grew past that stage. She still held reservations and fear towards Kintori, but the girl also acknowledged her responsibility in the injuries she acquired, and arbitrarily getting revenge was... dishonourable as well. If anything, the best of both worlds was to perhaps challenge Kintori to a duel again and come victorious, but that wasn't bound to happen for a while. Not just because of the primordial fear struck into the girl even at mention of the woman's name, but because of the gap in strength needed to be overcome first.

"Ways to get into the Human Realm? Several people have their own personal techniques, but usually shinigami just use the senkaimon, don't they? Do you not have access to using the butterflies yet? Is it because you're still an intern?"
