<b>Re: Bleach: ZX Advent (Commy, Yaoi King, and me)</b><br/><br/>Not mere moments after turning to head north, Pierce and Jin spun around as the familiar reishi not only reappeared, but even spiked as it grew closer.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#804000">"There's no mistaking him,"</span>Pierce began.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#004000">"Stay out of the way,"</span>Jin ordered, moving between Pierce and the incoming character, a strong individual with the powers of a shinigami no doubt, but something else as well.  Jin stood there for several seconds as the figure approached, noting it's pause seconds before coming within earshot.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#004000"><i>He's dropping off the tag-alongs it seems...</i></span><br/><br/>And then he appeared.  The man was unmistakable, even in his new altered form.  Jin let loose a low whistle as he noted Koichi's approach, Koichi's voice rising high about the winds.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#004000"><i>What a bugger, I was afraid of this.</i>  "It seems one of your teammates has had some adventures of his own while you've been away, <i>Daisuke-Sempai</i>."</span><br/><br/>Minna turned away and tried to squelch a laugh as Pierce realized what Koichi was shouting.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#804000">"Dammit,"</span>Pierce muttered, smacking his face into the palm of his hand.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#804000">"I'm gonna kill him just for that."</span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#004000">"No,"</span>Jin deadpanned, although his smile betrayed the laughter he held back,<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#004000">"I'll deal with him."  <i>It doesn't seem that he recognizes me.  I feel kinda offended, not that I expect him to.  It was a brief encouter while he was still a young recuit, so the kid probably ran into alot of seated officers around that time...</i></span>Jin broke his reveries as Koichi made the final approach, calling out,<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#004000">"Squad 11.  Seat 4.  Abari-Shihouin Koichi.  It seems you carry on the reckless nature of your parents.  I had heard you had hollow power in combination with your shinigami powers, making you this thing they call a Vizard.  But now you wear the garbs of an Arrancar.  Care to elaborate?"</span>Jin tried to keep his mannerisms calm, inviting even, but couldn't help but let his worry slip through a bit.  He was sure that even though the Soul Society was not openly at war with the Arrancars, both sides still tended not to hold back on each other and had many individuals of open hostility.  And with the way Koichi was dressed now, it would seem he had been added to their roster.  If the others with Koichi were anything like<i>that</i>, then it could only be bad for his team.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#004000"><i>Hopefully, this'll end well and we'll all get home safely.</i></span>
