A Mini Mission: Tsumi Of Squad Three [Private]

Kimiko was able to tell that something was bothering him. He seemed extremely tense, which was a part of him that he did not show on the battlefield. She slightly admired that, but it made her feel uncomfortable. "What's wrong?" she asked him right after she heard him say, "It's not the same." She rolled over onto her stomach and faced him, raising an eyebrow at the confusing young man. "Ever since the fight stopped, you've been acting weird. What's wrong with you? Are you feeling sick or something? You better not have been injured in battle and not told me.. I wouldn't have you out here if I knew you were injured." Kimiko sat up and looked towards him, narrowed her eyes. She crawled over and grabbed onto his shirt, moving him around rather roughly to see if he was injured. "Dude.. I don't see any injuries, so what is the matter with you?" She sat down next to him, looking down at him with a worried look in her eyes. She blinked a few times, waiting for his answer.

Kimiko just blinked a few times at him. "He... has a hard time... with girls?" she tilted her head to the side as she watched him crawl along the floor. He dunked his head under the water for some reason and actually caused her to giggle a little bit, but she kept it as quiet as possible. She didn't want to hurt his feelings or anything since he already had a problem with girls. She sat there for a moment, waiting for him to bring his head out of the water, but when she figured that was enough, she grabbed onto the back of his shirt and pulled him out of the water. "Okay look..." she said with a slight chuckle in her voice, "I understand you're shy around girls.. or whatever, but don't drown yourself because of it...." Kimiko pushed herself about five feet away from him, trying to give him some space. She crossed her legs as she sat down and looked to him. "So, why don't you explain to me why exactly you have a problem with women? Also... You seemed fine before and during the fight, so why did it suddenly come on? Does it only happen when you're really close to a girl or when the girl is acting nice...? Explain, please." she sat there with a small smile, still trying not to laugh at him and keep a straight face.

Kimiko was completely unsure of how to react to him. For a moment, he almost looked like he was having a conversation to himself, making her laugh at him a bit. She waited for him to snap out of it and finally he spoke. His explanation was understandable, especially if the girls he once knew were, as he called it, sadistic. "Well I get that..." Kimiko said with a smile, "But being afraid of all girl's because of those few is a little strange don't ya think?" Kimiko said poking his shoulder. She turned towards the pond and slid her feet inside after rolling her pant legs up so they would not get wet. "I mean think about it... For one, I'm not like that, so you don't have to worry..." she said to reassure him, "And two, we're not in your village anymore. You are a skilled fighter. You don't need to deal with the idiocies of sadistic woman. It might be hard if it's something you're not used to, but after a while you might even find a girl you liiiike." At the end she was making fun of him, teasing if you will, pinching his cheek softly and giggling at his situation. "Watch, you'll find a girl who really likes you for you, but if you don't get over your fear, then you'll push her away and miss out on a good chance. It's likely a good idea just to get over it, kay?"

"Tsumi, you likely can't get over it because you haven't found someone you feel you can trust enough to help you do so." Kimiko turned to him with a serious face and stared straight at him as if she were completely confident in what she had just told him. "You need to find a person, most likely a female, that you feel you can truly trust with your life. That will be the girl that will help you out of this fear you have." she explained to him, "Now... whether it happens now, a year from now, or a century from now. It will happen as long as you want it to." Kimiko kept silent for a moment and then jumped up. She raised her arms and leaned back, stretching a bit. She stopped and stood up straight, looking towards Tsumi, "Well we might as well start heading back. I feel we've had enough of a break." She knew it hadn't even been that long, but she felt like she forced him out here. She dropped her pants back down to normal and looked to her Zanpakutō, making sure it was placed back at her waist. Once done, she glanced to him and motioned for him to follow. "Let's get out of here..." she said as she covered her mouth, letting out a small yawn. "This mission was quick and easy! Maybe we'll get paired up again, eh?" Kimiko chuckled a bit as she headed back to the Seireitei.
