The forest constituency, as temperate and luxuriant as it was so many years ago. A terrain blooming with flourishing life, and an profusion of verdant green. If only one cold simply bathe in such beauty. However due to certain stipulations, the commander’s realization of contentment was halted for the time being. How boisterous to say the least.
Stepping from the Senkaimon, Isao, draped in his coloration of dull navy blue and white moved onto the forest encompassed plane. His Haori swaying gently as e stood, and strands of lush red passing his face every so often. To his immediate right, the Captain of the 3rd division, Kazai. The two were dispatched to search for the key suspects in a ever-growing conspiracy speculation crime. However, Isao would surely attempt to keep his subordinate at while on heir visit.
“Now where to stat?”

Kazai followed behind her commander. She actually wasn't sure where the best place to start was... not at all. Usually she had her lieutenant to help her with that kind of stuff, but she needed someone of a higher rank to remain behind at the 3rd division barracks to stay in command. With her seated members gone, that person would have to be her lietenant, Sakurazuka Shuji.
"Not sure, boss. What do you have in mind," she asked him, trying to make sure she gave him that feeling of authority. He was, after all, in charge of what was going to go down here. Kazai wasn't the greatest when it came to tracking, or even kidou for that matter.
"Hm?" |

"Well, Kingami’s last known location is a few miles ahead.”
He stated, his eyes now peering in the direction; orbs of effervescent purple reaching across the distance to capture the vague depiction of more forest ground. It would be to some extent difficult to track him down, given the diminutive information that surfaced mere hours ago. Fortunately, Isao was the former Captain of the 2nd division, thus tracking and assassinations came hand-and-hand with one-another. However, while on their journey, the Commander also had another goal in mind, one that was more… one-sided? Yes, it focused on one person; that person being the exquisite woman who stood beside him.
“What will you do if we find him, Kazai-Chan?”

The question posed to Kazai was more than simple enough to answer. Considering that these were her subordinates, there was only one appropriate answer to what she would do if she were to find them. She would have to remain professional at all costs, after all. This was all the more true considering that she was now with her captain commander.
"I'll have to find out what the deal is. I'll ask them upfront what's going on," she answered to him. This was what she would do, and this was all that she would do unless more offensive action became necessary. Until then, she hoped to not need to draw her zanpakutou. |

“Rather direct, that it is, Lady Kazai.”
He exclaimed overtly as he looked back her with a smile, revealing a charismatic aspect most had already seen due to his inability to hold a depressing demeanor for long periods of times. Considered a handsome male by most, he referred to himself as benevolent and forthcoming. The captains obviously knew this side better than most, seeing they spent the most time in his presence. Taking a step forever, he proceeded to moving deeper into the corridor of towering trees and fresh air; hopefully, Kazai followed.
“However, while being so blunt, the aptitude to lie increases.”

She followed behind him listening to what he had to say. While it were true that if she asked, the chances for a lie were much greater. If it were someone disguised as one of her subordinates, they would surely lie, and if her subordinates had, for some reason or another, become traitorous, then they would also lie. However, without asking, there was no chance to get the truth.
In all honesty though, the chances that someone would become a traitor to the Soul Society was very slim. Most people knew that it would be a death sentence and would rather just retire or something along those lines before becoming a traitor. As it was now, they were asking for the Soul Society to come after them. In any case, Kazai said nothing and simply followed her commander as they headed to find the missing squad members. |

She became quiet, which signified uneasiness, or so Isao thought as he sighed, and stopped mid-stroll. Turning around, he peered down towards Kazai, who most likely would be caught off-guard by his sudden halt in steps. Looking down at her, he smiled, eyes sealed as both arms were rested to his side. He didn’t benefit from the sensation of tedium and silence during such times. Positivity and high-spirited nature were traits rare in the souls of others. However be it atypical, they were what most truly needed to move on in life.
“You know, you don’t have to be so bottled, Kazai-chan.”
He exclaimed calmly, making note of her silence and discomfort. It was only them two around for miles, and was obviously not going to find Kingami immediately. They had time together; time Isao planned to use getting to know his captain more, and her thoughts on the current situation. Her professionalism could be commended. However she wasn’t in the presence of someone who held themselves above others. She could be herself.

Kazai came to a halt as her captain did as well. Though, at coming to the halt, she wondered what it was that he had to say. She had nothing to say to him after all. She could say nothing more. She was worried about her subordinates, but not enough to express how much she believed them to be innocent in front of her captain commander. If she did so and was then proven wrong, she would feel like an ideiot, and it would likely put a dent in her credibility. There was no need for her to do that.
"Well, it's just something that we need to handle. I have nothing else that I need to say, but it is ever so sweet of you to worry about me, Captain."
She made eye contact with her commander briefly, but quickly averted her eyes. She hoped she hadn't been too unprofessional saying what she had just said. She was very aware that it may have been just a little bit out of place for her to say something like that about him, but she really did feel he could be sweet sometimes. Her cheeks turned a bit red.
"I'm sorry, my comment may have been a bit out of line. We should keep moving." |

“Oh, okay, Kazai-chan…”
He said, his face, only momentarily expressing something similar to disillusionment and distress before his attractive smile took away the anguish. It was detrimental for her to act such a way, especially in the company of her superior. Nonetheless, he could only sympathize with what she was going through. If all proven evidence pointed to her division in regards to conspiracy, her credibility as Captain would e tarnished, and most likely she’d be striped and punished under judgment of the Central 46. However Isao wouldn’t let that happen as he would support her nonetheless.
“No, you had every right. I shouldn’t have intruded.”
He said, his smile now masked by his back as he turned around, and continued walking. Kazai, now facing his long vibrant red hair couldn’t see his face, which was somewhat dull at tem omen, quite t opposite from what most was use to. As a Captain, he knew his boundaries, however as a person, e knew the feeling of isolation. He didn’t want Kazai to back herself into that same corner like he did so many years ago. She could always talk to him about anything without the biasness that came with mores selective officials.

Kazai moved behind him, once again following him. It really didn't seem like she needed to be here. She wasn't any help as of yet, but she really did want to be here when they found her subordinates. She wanted to make sure that they were punished in accordance with their crimes and that they weren't charged for something they didn't do. She was well aware that the Soul Society didn't always seem to have what she considered fair punishments. They didn't seem to believe in innocent until proven guilty. Once they had just cause to believe something, they would begin to jump to conclusions following that. |

Once again, silence reigned supreme over the lands as the two continued on. Such a sensation was anomalous and the inability to converse without hitting a nerve or sensitive spot was uncanny. Nonetheless, he didn’t want to upset her, so keeping his opinions to himself was a must for now. After a half hour moments of prompt walking, the two came to a divergence in the pathway; a fork one would call it generally. One path led deeper into the woodland regions, while the other a lake, evident by the cooler air that manifested from that direction.
“I say let’s go to the lake.
He exclaimed captivatingly, turning his head with a smile, then back to the forefront, s he continued to walk. Moving down the inclined path he proceeded towards the body of water. Moments passed and soon enough, the two found themselves at the lake. An open pasture that protruded towards the edge of he immense pool of water. Isao was somewhat pleased nonetheless.
"Hmm, I feel like swimming."

"Captain! S-shouldn't we keep moving on?"
Kazai asked, she was very concerned. She wondered why he was being so relaxed as to actually take a break in the middle of their mission. They needed to keep moving and find the missing subordinates from her squad. She knew they didn't have time to play in the water. Plus, Kazai hadn't brought her swimsuit.
She crossed her arms, now standing a bit away from her captain. She wasn't going in the water. That much was for sure. He seemed so weird for a captain commander. He was much too relaxed and... well, cute. Ugh.. What am I thinking?! She quickly shook whatever thought she was getting in her head and watched him carefully. |

“Maybe he’ll come to us?”
He said, subsequent a yielding, laughter as he moved closer to the water’s edge, tapping the tip of his toe into it. He jumped back slightly, as he realized how cold the water actually was. Oh well, he thought, he would just have to warm it up. Without forewarning, he tossed his Captain’s Haori aside, followed by is kosode and the rest of his attire, revealing his chiseled upper body. Slim generally, yet held the tone in the right places with strong biceps. Smiling, he jumped into the warrior, only wearing his underwear as his clothes and Zanpakutō rested to the side.
Lifting from the bottom, he floated, arms lifted above head as he pulled back strands of his moist red hair. Smiling at Kazai he waved towards her, and motioned his hand in a gesture for her invitation into the relaxing waters.

Kazai was shocked by her commander's next actions. Not only did he just remove his clothes and jump into the water, but he said what seemed to be very sarcastic words, though she knew they weren't. Well, 'maybe he'll come to us'? The thought was ridiculous. They needed to find him for a reason.
As such, she forced herself to look away from her captain and his ever so... lovely abs... his sexy fit and mascul-No.. Don't think like that! Her cheeks turned more red than they had been up until now. She looked away from him held her arms crossed.
"We don't have time for this." |

“Oh, come on in, I won’t bite!”
He called out enchantingly as he waited for Kazai to come in. It was true, he was indeed too relaxed for someone who held the prestigious title of Commander. Nonetheless, it was the way he’s been for some time now, and changing wouldn’t help the situation at all. As she turned away, he smiled and soon enough brought his arms forward as he began to swim. Reaching the edge, he pulled himself out; water dripping from every masculine cut in his body as he reached land.
Moving towards Kazai, he stood behind her, smiling before suddenly, lifting her over his shoulders and walking back towards the water. Laughing as he did so, he exepcting pushing and kicking, and thus braced his body for actions similar to those. He knew she’d be somewhat confused and angered by his actions. However she’d get over it, hopefully.
“I guess I have to get you in somehow.”
And with that, and a moderate exert of strength, he tossed her into the lakes; followed by his dive in right behind her.
