[BCOLOR=transparent]After putting her equipment away, Anh found herself outside the 2nd division barracks. While she had decided to take a chance in singing to Captain Ishida and his group, she knew Captain Xiang and her lot would be a much different beast. Hence, she decided to sneak in. Creeping up to the window to Captain Xiang's office, she was surprised how easy this seemed. And then she realised that Xiang was asleep. That explained why she didn't notice her creeping around her windows. It almost took the fun out of her attempt to sneak up on her. But of course, it presented a much more interesting opportunity. Making her way quickly back to her own barracks once more, she returned to Captain Xiang's office with a permanent marker, a camera, and a devilish smile.
Captain Xiang would probably wake up at the moment that Anh decided to take a picture of her with the ramen bowl dumped on her head. Before this, she had already drawn a silly mustache on her, and taken a picture of both Xiang and Anh herself, with Anh flashing a peace sign. She was going to take as many pictures as she could before Xiang's fury awoke in full.
Xiang awoke to the ramen being spilled on her, drawing her zanpakuto as she managed to stoop atop the chair she had been sitting on. As she looked down, she noticed two things. 20 reports ruined by spilled ramen….. reports she had spent hours on, and Captain Trang with a camera and flashing a peace sign.
Xiang simply stared for a minute as she recognized the captain she had spoken to the most out of all the Seireitei…. and the one she really didn't want to. The blades multiplied in her hand.
Xiang remembered the biggest rule of her division, regretfully. Fighting was something she was strictly against. With a very disappointed sigh, she decided killing was bad, and sheathed her zanpakuto. She supposed it was, in part, her own fault. She knew Captain Trang was coming, why was she even surprised? How had she even fallen asleep in the first place? She had a vague memory of coming back, but nothing after that.
"That was 3 hours worth of reports….So!" Air hissed through her teeth. "How can I help you?"
Struggling to stifle her urge to laugh, Anh composed herself. She was hoping to get a more violent reaction, but then again, she did have something important to say. She had probably had enough fun for now.
"Alright, here's the deal; members of the 13th division have been killed in the living world. And we suspect they weren't killed by some run of the mill Hollow. Captain Yamagishi asked me to ask you to have the Onmitsukido look into this incident."
"Any questions?" She inquired with a smile. A smile born more of her own amusement than anything else.
Xiang pulled a strand of ramen from her hair. She still hadn't noticed the marker across her face. The mustache was now stained down both sides of her lips. It was a contrast to her serious expression, which made it funny and scary.
"Many. You do know that I know where you sleep?"
Regaining herself a bit, she came down from her perch.
"*sigh*Alright, I suppose this is important. I will escort my squad to the world of the living. It will be good training for them I suppose. Captain Yamagishi is… responsible. Any other info I should know about this? "
Xiang rubbed her chin, the mustache spreading into a goatee.
Anh's smile grew wider, a further sign of her attempts to suppress her laughter. She hoped she would still be in earshot when someone noticed her new stache. "Hmm...oh! I told the 11th division to get out there too. So you might be working with Captain Ishida. You like Kenny, don't you, Yue?" She was pretty sure Xiang hated half of everyone in the Seireitei, but especially Kenpachi Ishida. She had to wonder if she hated Ishida or herself more.
Xiang's day got from bad to worse, Captain Trang AND Ishida in one day. If the gods were merciful, she'd be hit by lightning before she left the office. The smile growing on Trang was annoying. Something was up. Looking at her hands, she noticed a black stain. Xiang touched her face again with a different finger, and noticed it turning black as well.
She stared at it for a moment in quiet, then looked back at Captain Trang, noticing the camera. The quiet was enough she could hear every footstep in the building.
"TRAAAANG! Give me that camera NOW!"
The office still rang.
It was at this point that Anh couldn't hold it in anymore. She bellowed with laughter. "Nah, I think I'll keep it." She managed to blurt out between burst of laughter. "But, if you want it…." She bent her arm back to throw it out of the window on Xiang's left. "You'll have to catch me!" She yelled as she dived out the window to the right, camera still in hand.
Touching down, she was going to start running. Truth be told, she kind of hoped Xiang was going to chase her.
Xiang cracked as Trang left the office. Her angry face twisted upward, though it wasn't quite a smile. Her reiatsu spiked, and she stayed rooted to the spot.
"Chase her and you give her what she wants Captain Yue…"
A member of squad 2 nervously checked through the door.
"A-are you alright Captain Yue?"
"Oh! Haha, I'm fine, just taking care of a small little problem. Don't bother me for fiiive seconds. Bankai, Kuraokami!"
A small purple mist exploded around her.
Anh could feel the energy that just erupted from the office. Captain Xiang REALLY didn't like having a moustache drawn on her face. Who would've thought that was her big trigger? Now, it seemed as though the logical thing here would be to release her own Bankai to match hers, but Anh had other plans in mind.
In fact, all she did was make her way over to her own barracks. At exceptional speed, but no fancy releases.
The squad 2 member tried getting in the way.
"What about your rule!?"
Xiang watched Captain Trang retreat into the distance, putting her hand over a single knife. She pushed the squad member out the way.
"Just one little knife! That's all I need! This knife can destroy the camera."
She released the knife. The gas of the mist reacted violently, propelling the knife forward with extreme power. At that exact moment, a thought struck Xiang.
"- and the wall behind it…. and the wall behind that….. aaand the wall behind that. Oh hell…. what did I just do?"
Anh flash stepped to evade Xiang's knife, but felt a little bad about it afterwards. The knife impacted on the wall of the 8th division barracks, and began destroying it in part. Members of her own squad were already coming out to see what had happened.
"Look out, guys!" Anh yelled. "Captain Xiang's finally snapped!" She ran inside the barracks herself.
Hajime Yuki was also part of the crowd. Looking upon Xiang, he grew quite dismayed. "Captain Xiang….I thought you were better than this!" He called out to her. "I even respected you!"
"That's right, Hajime. Captain Xiang is no good now." Anh had re-emerged from her own barracks. "Now I'm going to take a picture of this to seal the dea-WHOOPS!" She tripped and the camera fell from her hands, clattering to the ground in front of her. "Oh no!" She let out a yell. The camera was completely open to destruction.
Xiang was glad she was far enough away that her face wouldn't be well made out with the mist around her. A) She was turning crimson B)The marker.
The camera was open however, and she could play this off. Xiang decided as she saw Trang trip what to do. Destroy the evidence of course. A 2nd dagger of equal destruction came flying down at the camera directly.
"And I still have to deal with Kenpachi after this."
She deactivated bankai, the purple mist fading, and turned to the man in her office. She could still play this off, it'd just take a bit of work, and cover up.
"Tell the men I was destroying important evidence please. The 8th division can think whatever they want, I've got enough warrants. Also, refuse to pay property damage, that's on them."
Xiang was still embarrassed by it all. She, the captain of the 2nd division, had just caused a large amount of property damage, acted rashly, and nearly started a fight. And this was all before meeting with Kenpachi.
With the camera destroyed, Anh started bawling loudly. "YOU DESTROYED MY ONE AND ONLY CAMERA YOU JERK!" She yelled. She then retreated into the barracks once more. The other members of the 8th division all awkwardly began to return to other tasks. Hajime, however, had one thing left to do.
Going inside himself, Hajime quickly found Anh. "Captain Trang…..why?"
"Why what?" Anh asked, sniffling all the while.
"Why are you lying? I know you have more than one camera."
After one big sniff, Anh turned to him, wearing a huge grin. "You're right, Hajime. I do!" She then produced the real camera. "You can get back to whatever it is you were doing before, Hajime." She then left him there, with naught to do but shake his head. He didn't really know what had happened, but he really didn't want to know what happened.[/BCOLOR]
