Time for a Mission -Closed-

An hour ago...

Kaminari had received a few letters from a couple Captains and realized that the mission she was going to be sent on might not be such a walk in the park. Lately she had been really active in missions lately and wondered what that was meaning for her. It almost felt like she was once again being tested, and the letter from Captain Crow sort of confirmed her suspicions on that. She didn't really know whether she wanted to react to this or not, but knew she had to. It wouldn't be the smartest idea to ignore an order from more than one Captain. Still, these letters held hardly any information in them at all. There was only a few things mentioned about Menos arriving in the World Of The Living and that was about it. "Once again, a mission with no information... How original...." her sarcasm was obvious as she spoke out loud. She tied her hair up, grabbed her Zanpakutō, and left her apartment, leaving a small letter for a certain person to allow them to know where she went.

Current time....

Kaminari was currently sitting on the roof of a building in the Squad One Barracks and was waiting for her comrade. She was informed of who she would be going on this mission with and was actually rather shocked about it. She hadn't seen or talked to this man in so long, yet they chose him to go with her. It had to have been months, if not longer. So much had happened, she wondered how much power he had now. They had never really went on any missions together, and their main encounter had to do with a man that was now dead and not really missed. This was either a time for the two of them to establish some sort of friendship or realize that they will never get along and just leave it at that. She didn't know which one that was going to be. She didn't have many enemies, so she doubted that she would dislike him.

"He's here...." a strong feminine voice let itself be known from within her. Shiroka Hanayaku, her Zanpakutō Spirit. "I can sense him..." Kaminari replied as she watched Kaede walk into the area. She watched him for a moment. She had not hidden herself at all, so she knew that he knew she was there. "Can't say I thought you were the smiling type..." Kaminari suddenly spoke out, raising her arm and waving rather happily to him. She had a huge smile on her face and hopped off the roof of the building, landing next to him. "It's been a while! How are you!?"

Kaminari blinked a few times as she was hugged. It actually took her a second to realize that she needed to hug back. Once she did, the hug broke and she smiled up to him. "A hug? That's another thing I didn't think that you would ever do. You really have changed." she spoke in a soft, sweet tone towards him. It was nice to see he wasn't so tense and serious like he was when the two of them first met. Kaminari turned her head towards the two boys that had shown up from the Stealth Force and blinked a few times. Looking back to Kaede, she nodded. "Well of course we have a mission. I doubt they'd send you here for no reason." she said with that same smile she had always held since the two of them had met. "Though... I wasn't given any details about the mission, which is strange, so is there anything that any of you could tell me?"

Kaminari was as happy and sweet as she had always been, although the naive side of her seemed to have subsided since they last met. So many things had happened, that catching up was going to be hard. She was excited to tell him a lot of things, but knew that it would have to wait because the mission came first. She looked over towards the two boys from the Stealth Force and held out her right hand. "Hi. I'm Kaminari Hatakeyama. Third Seat of Squad One! Nice to meet the both of you!" Once they would shake their hands and introduce themselves, Kaminari would nod and begin walking out of the Squad Barracks so they could finally start their mission.

Kaminari was automatically insulted when neither of the two boys that were currently working under her authority would even introduce themselves when she had done so nicely. They took a few minutes to get to the Senkaimon. She stopped walking as it was being opened and looked to Kaede, raising an eyebrow about his curiosity with Captain Crow. Keeping a rather blank look, she closed her eyes and crossed her arms along her chest, "Captain Crow only told me something about Menos appearing in the World of The Living... And yeah... I know him. Right now he and I are not on speaking terms, and I doubt we will be for a while. The only reason I even responded to his letter by going on this mission is because he IS a Captain and it IS my job. Nothing more."

Kaminari looked up and watched as the Senkaimon was opened for them. She began walking through, her arms dropping back down to her sides as she walked. "So tell me... who is this contact of yours? You said he was in the Viazard Corps? What kind of man is he? Will he be joining us, or just allowing us information?" As she stepped into the Senkaimon, the door was closed behind them and she continued walking until she would finally come up to a door that would allow her passage into The World Of The Living, but for now she just walked with Kaede.

"Your Vice Captain... At a time, wasn't that a man named Redd Tsueken? Or was that your Third Seat? Either way..." Kaminari spoke sort of coldly when she thought about this man. She didn't hate him exactly, but the last time he met, he used his bankai in a battle against her when he knew she only had Shikai. In her mind, Redd was what the people in this world call a 'pussy'. He was a wimp. Going one hundred percent on someone that is no way near your level, he really was just weak and a jerk. "...Isn't he dead?" she continued from what she had been saying before. She didn't even sound like she cared much. When asking around, she had heard NOTHING positive about that man, and she didn't even like him very much, so it was obvious he was unwanted in every aspect of this Universe they were in.

"And what you said before... about Captain Crow..." Kaminari once again continued, but this time her tone was different. She actually did sound slightly concerned, but it wasn't that much. She was still angry with him as well for what happened. "What do you mean he went off to war? Explain that further... Also, I'll kick those two in the butt a little later." she said the last part referring to the two who had not introduced themselves. Finally the door to the exit of the Senkaimon appeared and they were able to walk through it. Once they were out, they'd been in the middle of a small valley, only a mile away from the location they were supposed to be meeting at. "Not too bad I guess... Last time I was brought through the Senkaimon, they put me right in the line of enemy fire... I think they learned their lesson." she said with a smile and giggled a little bit.

Kaminari could not help but laugh so hard about what Kaede had just said towards his old Vice Captain. She slightly felt the same way, which at times made her feel guilty, but then she got over it. She covered her mouth and looked away, the only sign of her laughing being the fact that her shoulders kept moving up and down. She had turned away from him to hide the fact that she was laughing, and at this time she did not make a single sound. She couldn't stop, she set her other hand on her stomach and then finally was able to calm down when her tummy was hurting from laughing so much. She took in a deep breath, cleared her throat, and turned back to Kaede with a small smile. "I see you weren't very fond of that male either." Kaminari said, the word 'male' being an insult in this case. She couldn't call him a boy because boys had common sense and wouldn't hurt people that they called them friends, and she wouldn't call him a man because he didn't meet her criteria of what a man was. That was bad too, since her criteria was just don't be a jerk and be taller than her.

"I see..." she said in a mumble, "So Captain Crow sent letters to a woman he was too frightened to come talk to himself..." Kaminari's eyes narrowed as she was thinking. She didn't look angry, just like she was deep in thought. She had stopped moving and all of that. She lost her train of thought. Out of no where, she balled up her fist and began randomly yelling. "WHAT AN IDIOT!! If he wants to apologize to me, then all he needs to do is talk to me! He knows where I am at! Why would he be scared!? It's NOT like I am going to go off on some rampage to attack him or something! He should expect me to be mad since all of that crap with Shinji happened, but if he would just COME AND TALK TO ME, everything would be fine!!!" Speaking all of that rather quickly, she ran out of breath and slouched over, allowing he arms just to hang there as she took in air. Finally she caught her breath and looked back up to Kaede, "Okay, so what are we doing again?" She was serious. She forgot the mission and once again it needed to be explained. She always did have a one track mind.
