A Breathe of Fresh Air

It was currently 7 in the morning and the sun was just rising while the wind gave off a certain ominous feeling as it raveled through the air in a gentle yet chilling fashion that could shake you up and then relax you, strange. Kenji had been sitting on a roof in Karakura Town for about an hour now reading his book that he had started, which he was now 85% done with. He yawned deeply as he turned another page of the book titled: “Lightning is your Friend” which was supposed to help him learn the many aspects of fire, like the intensity, its general meaning, the chemistry of it, etc. This might even help him come up with some Lightning Element Kido later on in his afterlife if he trained hard enough. Kenji turned yet another page in the matter of a few seconds for the previous one held mainly pictures and just a few text based examples. He then turned his left hand, which the book was in, so that his wrist was in his few to check the time on his watch as he pulled back the sleeve of his long sleeved shirt.

Kenji took it upon himself to take a break from his Lieutenant duties for the time being and take somewhat of a breather for the time being. Kenji started to feel somewhat of an itch on his right shoulder and moved his left hand to scratch it a bit, the symbol of the first division appearing on his neck as he did so then disappearing as he stopped. Kenji hated being in his Gigai at times because for some reason, every time he had it on him, it gave an appearance of a pre-teen rather than his normal one, which would cause a lot of the humans to treat him in a weird way. Speaking of humans, it was odd that Kenji wasn’t able to locate Kiyoshi, his best friend, among them. That was one of the main reasons that he even came to the human realm in the first place, but he hasn’t heard heads or tails of him, even at the school there.

Kenji turned yet another page as he let out a deep breath, another one of the reasons for his mini-break was to get away from the Soul Society, aka stress country for a little while because it seemed that more meaningless things were happening every day which started to cause him to lose his temper way more often that he normally would. The only reason this was even allowed was because no Shinigami seemed to be taking a morning watch anyways so they were going to send a low seat, or maybe an unseated officer to check it out, but deciding upon Kenji since he seemed to be the most unattached out of the members. It was true though, Kenji knew barely any of the shinigami in the Seireitei that he made contact with at all. Arthas was doing something somewhere at some point in time, Chiyo disappeared, possibly even getting replaced, Kaji and Lee were just people that he met once or twice and that was it. No one to ever get socially inapt with. Kenji turned another page as he was starting to get close to the end.
