    Shallow Hilt

    The summons had been swift and unceremonious in its delivery, but entirely expected. Following the events at the Academy the prior day, a stunned silence had rapturously enveloped the whole of the Seireitei and its leadership. For hours after the cleanup started, not one word was uttered about...

    Horonigai [Takahiro]

    Inside, Takahiro could only writhe. Watching this woman, his subordinate, his comrade, go through the motions of accepting her place in a system she clearly held disdain for was a painful experience. Her words, coated with a sharp-edged sarcasmTo an outside observer, he sat controlled and...

    WHY DO YOU EAT IT?

    Takahiro was entirely unsurprised by his superior's lack of sympathy for Tachibana. He admired the man's dedication and the cause for which he stood, but even his most ardent supporter couldn't claim to adore Ichiro's lack of empathy. Fortunately for the grievously wounded third seat, Takahiro...

    Horonigai [Takahiro]

    Takahiro had asked his question knowing that the Fifth Seat's answer would be far from straightforward. He watched carefully as her face contorted and shifted as she shook her head about, cycling through the options available to her as she formulated her response. More than once, he could have...

    Horonigai [Takahiro]

    At the sound of his subordinate's sobering, clearly honest words, Takahiro could only nod. With each pause accompanied by its requisite deep breath, he could see her duty-borne facade wane, and eventually, dissipate entirely. She's a good soldier, he mused, so good that she's lost sight of her...

    Horonigai [Takahiro]

    When Koharu replied with such brevity to Takahiro's apology, he had to restrain the urge to raise an eyebrow. Was something wrong? Something beyond the belated hour of their meeting and the natural stress that came with office work? Well, maybe the latter was an inconvenience exclusive to him...

    Kill a Traitor Before an Enemy [Takahiro]

    Takahiro wasn't so unobservant that he couldn't feel the eyes trained to his right hand as he re-sheathed his Zanpakutō. The lieutenant's stare burned into his skin harsher than any flame possibly could. Ichiro had always had a tendency to observe his Iaidō, whether during training sessions or...

    Horonigai [Takahiro]

    Only a paper-lamplight cast its faint, flickering glow across Takahiro's office, leaving much of his room darkened and his own face mired in a half-shadow. On one side of his wide mahogany desk sat a thick stack of neatly organized papers...as if. The loose leaves, reports and written approvals...

    WHY DO YOU EAT IT?

    It was mid-day when the Soul Society's future set itself ablaze. Only moments earlier had Takahiro left a meeting with his Captain, one which had been rather unceremoniously interrupted by Lieutenant Watanabe, who had another of his many complaints to field. Takahiro had witnessed the whole...

    I obviously have no say in this matter, but as a general suggestion; Shinigami that old, 1000+ years, tend to have only stayed alive for as long as they have on the basis of exceptional skill and tend to be of the captain-class almost universally. That being said, I understand why you lean into...

    Kill a Traitor Before an Enemy [Takahiro]

    It should be known that Takahiro was generally a rather talkative man. Whether on duty or not, he generally pursued personal growth through conversation with his comrades and subordinates. With his Lieutenant, however, that ideology went out the window. The younger man couldn't help but let a...

    Kill a Traitor Before an Enemy [Takahiro]

    Even as few as a hundred years ago, well within Takahiro's own lifetime, the districts numbered from one to ten within the Rukongai were perceived as a home to wealth and opulence. Night or day, rain or shine, there was naught a time when one could expect to venture to such places and meet...
