Minna dreamed.  She dreamed of a life she once had.  As a member of the living...in a place called Germany...<br/><br/>But as dreams would go, this one is fleeting, and leaves little details....<br/><br/>-----<br/><br/>Daisuke laughed, a friendly laughter of joviality shared among friends and like-minded individuals.  He'd found a similarly battle-hungry person, and knew he was sure to end this fight.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#804000"><i>My one complaint is that I know how this is gonna end.</i></span>Daisuke's laughter continued as he charged forward to meet his adversary, although it became more fanatical as he charged in, aiming himself straight for the center of Nnoitera's weapon.  Sensing the lunge, Daisuke threw up a hand, catching the center of the inside of the loop with his left hand.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#804000">"Gotcha,"</span>Daisuke chuckled as he raised his right hand and jabbed forward, intent on planting it over the blade and square into the arrancar's chest.<br/><br/>-----<br/><br/>Jin stopped dead in his tracks and stared at the arrancar.  He spent several moments in the pose, listening to the arrancar speak and even more time thereafter.  He simply stared, a calm but unreadable expression on his face.<br/><br/>The he finally spoke.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#008000">"Boy."</span>Jin stepped back so that he was squared towards the man, his left hand coming to rest on the hilt of his sword.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#008000">"Boy?"</span>Jin chuckled a little and shook his head.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#008000">"If only, dear arrancar, you were away of how wrong you are.  But that matters little.  In response to your question, I have but this to say: I abhor violence.  I find the idea of taking life atrocious.  Still I must do what I must do to keep the peace, even if that means the loss of the few for the betterment of the many.  This blade,"</span>Jin held up his right hand, which somehow had managed to now have his sword in it,<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#008000">"is a weapon for peace, yes, but also a weapon of death.  In my need for rendering peace without death, I achieved it's release state.  Is that enough of an answer for you?"</span>
