Moving on he took control of the crowd once more. Chie was one of the best they had and her reputation in the corps was prominent. There was nothing too out of the ordinary about her promotion. Aside from the fact that it happened less than an hour ago and was only one of the 'promotions' she (and he) got this morning. For now, though it was their business only and their secret to keep. "On to new orders of business. To man to my left is one of our own. Those of you who have served this corps more than a century will definitely remember him." He cleared his throat, an indication that the next part would be very important. "Itagaki Seishiro has spent the last one hundred years trapped under the sands of Hueco Mundo."

His voice was even and tempered as he spun the tale. "Through no shortage in skill, will and perseverance he was able to survive in that world cut off from his friends and allies. Cut off from his home. He returned to us weeks ago and since that time I have personally challenged his mental and physical well-being. He passed my tests gracefully." His words became confidant with a tone force. It was opinion at the end of the day, but as Commander his opinion held weight. "He is now, as he was then; one of us." He chuckled a bit remembering their bout over the ocean. "...and we welcome him back with open arms."

He looked to Seishiro who was now wearing his mask for some reason it wasn't exactly setting anyone at ease but better they see it now than to misinterpret it later. Likely Itagaki had done this to cover his face. Was he embarrassed about his story being told? Or was he envious of the Okajima and Kusanagi's promotions? He never took his senpai to be the whining type. "That being said a startling revelation was made during our kidō clash that has lead to my next announcement."

"As of today Itagaki Seishiro is inducted into the Kidōshū once again, as our new Dai Kidōchō." The crowd reaction was loud. Having a new leader this soon was a sign of instability let alone one who most of the new faces didn't know and the old faces hadn't seen in ten decades. Shi'Kuyo clarified quickly before they got carried away. "I will remain the head of this corps as the Sōshi and Commander and for the first time in this organization's history, the titles of Sōshi and Dai Kidōchō will be occupied by two individuals." He continued. "In administrative terms the Grand Chief will have no power over other officers but may assume control of any vacant position in the Kidōshū. In such cases they will have the same authority that occupied position normally grants."

"In the case of my absence commanding duties will falter to the Vice Chief." He gestured back to Chie. "And the Grand Chief will support however they can." It was important the entirety of the corps knew the new layout from his mouth directly. "Okajima... step forward please." While he prodded the librarian to take center stage strange thing occurred. From his sleeve shot multiple blasts of Rikujōkōrō². The six rods of binding each gathered and shattered as if they had minds of their own, as if they were a variant of the binding spell.

Shooting into the crowd the masses cleared space as each bakudo gave way to six 'boards' of glowing light. Arranging themselves like low-incline stairs the boards made a stair-path from the elevated area where himself, Itagaki, Okajima and Kusanagi stood to the mass crowd where everyone else stood. At the end of the path of light was a woman who probably had no idea how long her Commander had been watching her... "Yatsume Aibuhime... step forward." ...and how acutely his own two eyes allowed him to see her potential.

While Aibuhime certainly had thoughts about all these crazy promotions and upsets, each one was wiped away when the stairs of light assembled at her feet. She felt her cheeks heat up and she jumped back with a meek “Eep!” as she brought her folder up to cover the lower half of her face again.

Then when he spoke to her, the world shifted. Aibuhime’s vision was spinning, and she felt her stomach clench up as nausea took over. Never once in all her century of life did she think that this moment would come. She didn’t prepare for being in the spotlight; she didn’t want to be. Even when her research won her awards and made her name famous, she still stayed cooped up in her quarters.

Looking up, the young genius gave Shi’Kuyo a shy look before she looked back to the ground. Behind her and to her sides, Aibuhime heard the whispers people were saying. Some were supportive, others mean. And despite the fact there were far more congratulations coming towards her then their opposites, every statement of disapproval stabbed into her like a knife. But if she failed to walk up these stairs, then she’d disappoint Shi’Kuyo too, wouldn’t she?

Keeping her eyes expertly trained on the stairs and ground, Aibuhime quickly walked up them--all while mentally chanting a mantra of Don’t trip, don’t trip, don’t trip!-- and turned her back towards her leader. Looking him in the eye, the chest, the shin, or even the ground he stood on was too much. It was almost as painful as having the entire crowd stare at her. Please, please, please get this over with soon, Tokomaru-Senpai…!

Advancing forth to the pedestal that awaited his occupation, Kenjirou was reluctant to show his admiration for any of the figures before him, hiding them beneath a guise of complacency for his own achievement so he didn't need speak any further. Waiting there for the Commander to continue on his heightened perch, silence continued to emit from his slightly pursed lips.

Allowing this patience of his to prosper, Kenjirou looked to the lady Aibuhime, who was guiding her way to the Commander. Standing among Kenjirou as well, the unfamiliar face still did not receive a lack of trust on Kenjirou's part. She seemed sincere, her exterior shell portraying an almost timid disposition-- Shyness.

He had read many books on the sciences of psychology, and her folder gesturing to continually cover her face seemed to give it away. She probably felt hidden beneath the folder, or something of her's was-- Like her beauty, or lack thereof. He found it just a little humorous, but didn't illustrate anything other than the sense of achievement he had for himself.

That was her big moment. Facing most of the corps, she was presented as the new Fuku Kidōchō. It was hardly a surprise to her, of course, but still, those moments made her tremble slightly, being proud of herself and her achievements. Accolades, praise, she had always revelled in them, and this most likely the pinnacle she could achieve, at least without anything terrible happening. She was quite content with things being that way, of course, and she gave a short bow when introduced, mixed with the tiniest bit of a salute.

“It is a great honour for me to be given this position. I will not disappoint any of you.”

A short, simple statement. She kept it that way on purpose, knowing full well that this meeting had not been conjured just for this announcement, far from it. There were other, more important issues, and she was glad to make room for those, although she did enjoy a little banter with the other men on stage here, both congratulating and welcoming her. Or rather, with one of them. The new library head garnered little more than a smiling nod, but that should be fine, as he was quick to resume his position, to not draw more attention. She respected that, and so she only gave a real reply to the other man on stage, who was keeping his voice low enough to indicate a hint of conversation.

“Of course. It has been a while since I last saw you, but we have at least crossed ways, a long time ago. I tend to not forget a face, if you will.”

Despite saying that, she did not actually know this person, not even his name. But he had been around back then, and he had not been an ordinary member either. Shiki really had prepared himself quite well for this, now had he not? In a way, that made her the last piece to be assembled, no wonder he had initiated all this just a little after her promotion. While she kept on thinking about that, she scanned the crowd and quite obviously found that Shizuku floating there around, whom she gave a quick, hopefully reassuring nod. Then again, that one wasn’t only all fidgety and anxious, after all.
Still exposition moved on, and she actually got a name and backstory to the red-head besides her. The more important news, though, was the changes Shiki made to accommodate him, him and others like him. Showing genuine surprise, Chie decided to just postpone thinking about what that meant, and remained quiet. The chief obviously knew what he was doing, even though that technically made him less….chiefy.

And then something really unexpected happened. All the changes, they made sense, were telegraphed in a way. But the sudden use of flashy kido to make way for that girl, which managed to raise her eyebrows. Not that she had any problem with that, of course. She simply did not know why, and had to wonder, who was this person? And why was she elevated like this, even though she clearly did not like it, was obviously awkward about it. Then again, who cared? It was much more important for this to go smoothly, and having someone to be too shy about things could send the wrong signals. Thus, she addressed this woman, although still keeping her voice low.

“Hold your head up girl. You are on stage now. This isn’t just about you up here, so just do it and play your part, okay? Don’t worry though, it’ll be fine.”

It had been refreshing to hear Kusanagi-Fukukidocho return his greetings. Had they ever met before, it was infinitely possible. Many had come to know him years before, but he had honestly forgotten much of his earlier years amidst their ranks. Most of it was trivial, yet the female seemed to insist they had crossed paths before. He couldn't testify against this--the potential was there--but he couldn't gleam any truth from memory.

" Forgive me if I cannot say the same of you, Kusanagi-Fuku. " There might have been a hint at when they first met, but his mind couldn't place it. Abandoning the lost cause, he took to diligently listening to the Commander, who at this point still held the floor. His voice had been raspy and muffled from beneath his mask, but it soothed his aches and pains; the toll of fighting Shi'kuyo was one of the worst he'd sustained in a century. Beneath his armor were bruises and welts, blisters and sores. The weight of his armor burdened him and he noticed his body tremble from the sheer effort it took to hold himself up. He could ill afford to look weak in front of the Corps, and so his posture went rigid as he stood at attention. I can seek treatment later if need be. Duty is always first.

Shi'kuyo had announced Seishiro Itagaki as the Dai Kidocho; Seishiro and him had already discussed the anointment after their bout somewhere beneath the pale moonlight, the brine surging beneath them, dousing them in seaspray that reeked of salt and fish. Seishiro had mentioned that the appointment might cause an uproar. Shi'kuyo had insisted regardless, insisting he take the title. It had been something he wanted throughout his entire career, but Itagaki had taken to craven thoughts. What if... had been the start of many outspoken doubts, but Shi'kuyo would have none of it.

Let's see how the crowd takes that notion. It would look bad for him to revoke such an appointment after only just making it. Now that it was done, all that could be done was ponder the masses as they scowled in disgust, or gawked in awe. Eyes had concentrated on him abruptly, suddenly scrutinizing his garb. There was little more than a formality that came along with being the Grand Kido Chief; other than being considered unsurpassed in the practice of their arts, his access and permissions had been unhindered. From now on he was his own authority, save for Shi'kuyo and perhaps the Fuku. The Tokomaru had given him a precious acknowledgement that he intended to live up to. But first came the matter of her.

I never thought I'd look upon her again. Aibuhime Yatsume, something of an accomplice to Seishiro's errant misdemeanors as an acolyte. Shifting uncomfortably as she approached, he gave her a silent nod of acknowledgement. Their forrays in the study of Kido from decades long since past reminded him of his roots. Hueco Mundo might have changed him, but inside him was always the humble acolyte who merely sought to fulfill his role.

As Aibuhime approached Shi'Kuyo waited calmly she seemed to have a problem looking him in the face but her looks were actually easy on the eyes. He did well not to gawk, Chie didn't seem the jealous type but he was in no fast fury to test her. The others might have thought it a spectacle for her to be 'elevated' to their position, glowing stairs and the like. The reality was that it wasn't a showcase, just a simple means of getting her to where the rest of them stood.

"Okajima Kenjirou. Yatsume Aibuhime. The two of you have been chosen to spearhead two of the three departments that now cover the everyday dealings of the Kidōshū. Aibuhime, you will be charged as the filter through which all new arts and spells for the entirety of the corps will be passed." There was a chance, more than a chance that if given a choice Aibuhime would refuse, so instead he gave her no choice. Forcing both a promotion, responsibility and a pay raise upon her. Her overall combat prowess lacked but that could be improved over time and her being good at fighting wouldn't make her particular job any easier anyway.

Plus knowing what she knew she was best kept occupied with work and in soul society where he could keep an eye on her. "After new creations are certified by Chief Yatsume, they will be forwarded to Chief Okajima for archival." He rubbed at the stubble on his chin. "Our third chief has yet to be named but the duties of this third department will revolve around senkaimon gate duties among other things." He realized he'd had them here for long enough without giving the masses their much deserved peace of mind.

Clearing his throat he got to the point, to the things that affected everyone, and not just his chiefs. "The seating structure has been disbanded you are now not officers but agents. You will all be assigned to new stations of your choice at your current pay grade. Starting as of now, you all have three days of paid recreational leave to choose a station. Agents who choose a station before the pass of three days will be given a salary increase, so enjoy yourselves ...but don't wait too long."

"As the last order of business... I issue a new decree; from this day forward, the 'forbidden arts' will be term only applicable to Onmitsukidō and Goteijuusanbantai. All kidōshū agents are free to pursue kidō knowledge of their own accord. No restrictions. The formerly forbidden arts however, will only be allotted to individuals under special circumstances at my discretion and mine alone. Furthermore it will be the personal task of each of to you begin advancement in a skill that is not kidō. Quarterly evaluations will be done to insure you, who are still shinigami, have not forgotten that kidō though powerful is just a part of the shinigami skill set."

"Remember. We are specialists in the demon arts. Devout followers of the Spirit Way, not slaves and zealots to it. Even if the demon arts are your best skill, if it is also your only skill it is not a strength, it is a weakness." He stepped back from the mound on which he spoke but then remembered one last detail. "A competency test will take place upon choosing a new station. To pass this test each artist will perform a single kidō to proficiency; Hakūdan Keppeki the white severing binding wall, an anti-quincy barrier. This is non-negotiable and imperative to your survival. Those of you who don't know this spell, learn it; you have three days."

His hand gestured to his right they were new to his shorthand but his body language was telling his chiefs to stay put. "Agents, dismissed."

The flock of Kidoushuu underlings seemed to recede like a tide of mostly black garbs out the door which they had entered, leaving a large portion of the once occupied area vacated. Now that they had a little more privacy, and the people around him seemed relatively trustworthy, Kenjirou decided to open up.

" So...as the Chief of Archives, I ask that none of you approach me about anything of the forbidden texts-- Exempt the Commander himself, or with his permission. Obvious, I know, I just want to be clear.

As for your instructions, Commander, I will read through them right after this session has expired. "

Looking to them all, he was getting comfortable with his surroundings- These people. Few were recognizable, but soon enough his memory would capture all their faces, names, and antics. Nothing would be forgotten. After all, how could it? This was one of the most momentous occasions within the Kidoushuu for quite some time now.

" Also, I look forward to reading over your work Aibuhime. Feel free to see me in the library at any time-- I am always lurking about somewhere within the infinite shelves of literature known as our library, or in my office. "

Awaiting their response, and the continuation of this meeting, silence overcame Kenjirou, although allowing a smile over his face as he bowed lightly to Aibuhime notioning respect for her new position. Surely someone like her had something going on inside her head that might be interesting to know for Kenjirou. Perhaps knowing anything would be interesting, since he was completely ignorant of who she was-- As a person. He just had to let time tell.

Aibuhime didn’t know what to say. She stood there with her cheeks feeling like they were on fire. What Tokomaru-Soshi had just said was so crazy that it made no sense. Again her world spun, and her stomach threatened to spill everywhere. If it wasn’t for the fact that she was in front of the man she loved, she probably would have dry heaved everywhere.

Thank god they’re gone, she thought, though her stomach was still a maelstrom.

Slowly, timidly, she turned to everyone. She was careful not to look at her leader, and she whispered a “Thank you” so meek that it might as well have not been said.

The entire idea of being someone so important was so mind blowing that Aibuhime was still stunned. She could barely talk to others, let alone lead them. Her shell was so thick that she found it difficult to even imagine what was going to happen next.

And then Kenjirou thanked her.

He thanked her.

Aibuhime stared at him blankly. A tear rolled down her cheek.

“T-Tokomaru-Senpai...permission to leave requested…” Aibuhime’s voice was faint and weak. She sounded like she was sick. “...P-please…”

Soon, Kazuo learned all the names of the faces gathered about him that he hadn't already known as well as some colorful histories on a few of the members. Shinigami who had fought hard to earn their places now in this advanced team kidou crafters. Kazuo didn't feel he belonged here at all, and soon his thoughts were confirmed as he was dismissed.

Smiling he closed his eyes and gave a slight bow of the head in respect and then turned to leave. He didn't know how he had become a seated officer to begin with, so it was no shock he hadn't been called to remain behind. It didn't matter anyway, and soon kazuo was flipping through the maps again as he began to make his way very slowly back to his home.

The important part to take away from all this was his captain was letting him choose a station of his own. All he had to do was not screw it up and pick a place that would assuredly repel her. Some place cold was a step in the right direction but there were other factors needed. Surely something must be in this pile...

大鬼道長

It was just as well the ceremony ended so soon; Seishiro had grown tired and slothful after listening to a bunch of jibber-jabber spew from Shi'kuyo-Soshi relentlessly. He wanted to leave and take up his studies, renovate some new chambers for certain tasks he had in mind, and responsibilities he intended to complete. His thoughts were distracted by the timid display from Aibuhime. To suggest Yatsume seemed unaccustomed to the spotlight would be an understatement; the very notion upset her and brought her to her breaking point. A sudden thought struck him as Shi'kuyo kept on explaining the details: How are we going to afford all of these pay raises?

Apparently Shi'kuyo still needed them here, so Seishiro waited around ponderously and wearisome. His stomach growled at him, barking its demand for nourishment. He wanted to eat badly, but he knew to be patient for the Commander. Something of this magnitude was surely worth the time. Food was nonessential to a degree, but man could he go for some fine dining after a century of fasting. Even some water would be nice; of all places, Shi'kuyo took him to the ocean to test him! THERE WASN'T DRINKABLE WATER FOR MILES.

HE WAS HUNGRY AND THIRSTY. SHI'KUYO NEEDED TO HURRY THIS UP. Q~Q

Without further ado, Shizuku was dismissed. She couldn't find anyone she knew well in the immediate vincity, as her friend Kazuo had been on the opposite side of the crowd.

The "new" chief of Kidō research seemed like a nervous wreck, but it probably wouldn't last long. Shizuku herself knew how much Kidō she's designed but have yet to realize. Dumping it all on her just may or may not be a problem.

As for the Forbidden Arts, Shizuku was more interested in studying the "formerly forbidden" arts, so, without any real clearance, her situation has once again remained unchanged.

Well, Shizuku was apparently unimportant from start to end, so she simply turned to leave when prompted. Perhaps she would talk to Kazuo later regarding the new stations and posts.

With the masses departing and tenteikūra shut down. The commander resumed the last of his announcements with only his chief's present.

"In addition to Hakūdan Keppeki each of you are to learn two more spells; a healing kidō and Keikaigi." He handed each of them a single page of paper. On it they would find the theory and description, analytical notes and other highlights of helpful information surrounding the 'Haste Heal' an in-combat kaidō spell of his own design. "In the library Okajima will gather the materials you need to pursue Keikaigi. As with the other artists," He changed his mind on calling them 'agents'. "You all have three days to learn these spells. I do warn you, you are all forbidden to use this spell to venture to Hueco Mundo without my authorization. It goes without saying that teaching it to others will not be tolerated."

He looked them all in the eyes and in that moment he was more onmitsukidō than kidōshū. "I will personally execute anyone who betrays the rules I have set forth." There was a clause in there about how having a good reason to defy him could save their lives but they didn't need to hear that part.

He sighed deep, he hated having to remind them how serious these permissions and chains of command were. Higher powers or rather, equal powers in higher number would have him by the scrotum for this. He put himself at risk for them as a leader should. He wouldn't tolerate anyone putting him and/or the rest of the corps at further risk for their own selfish devices. "Alright enough from me. Go enjoy yourselves.. all of you." If they did as told, they might just live through this war. "Dismissed."

END!!
