Kasumi sat in a small room, surrounded by brimming green candles. She slowly opened her eyes and smiled. Quickly, she stood up and took a deep breath.
"It seems that I shall wait, for the arrival of my so called 'Vice Captain'. I hope she does not disappoint me. She is second in command after all. But before she can take such responsibilities, I must give her a test; not to beat her down, but to see to what extend she can raise her powers. If she can survive, she is worthy to be called my 'commanding officer'. If not, then she is not worthy, or well prepared. This shall be interesting indeed..." Kasumi smiled, talking to a light spirit that appeared before her.
"Kurenai, we must take it easy at first. You can`t be as reckless as you usually are with Sayako..." Kasumi instructed the spirit.
"How very unappealing. Fine--If that it what it takes to finally get out and into battle, then fine, Ill take it easy with the women. But if she cannot even release her Bankai, it will be a great disappointment to me, and you..." Kurenai smiled malevolently. Kasumi nodded in agreement, and waited for the arrival of Sayako.
