Unexpected Guest

3 years passed one afternoon while Xin was doing wood carving. He suddenly felt the spiritual energy from the Black Hogyoku not far from him.

He is pretty confused that every time he feels the energy, that energy disappears fast, even though he dashes to the place where that energy is, he finds nothing at all.

For the past 3 years, he only felt the energy 5 times, but this time it's different, for the past month he felt the Hogyoku hundred times in a different area.

And the most confusing of all is that, the Spiritual Energy sometimes not one but two, some are ten even hundred that make him confused.

"Owner, is my headgear done?"

While Xin is in deep thought, his regular customer arrives to take the headgear that he ordered, a pretty special customer.

A tall man wearing traveling cloth, he is pretty unique because of his unique feature, he has brown fur around his body and a dog head.

Xin doesn't know if it is fate or just coincidence but he did not expect to see the future Captain of 7th Division Sajin Komamura be his customer.

"It's done, let me take it,"

"Thank you Owner."

Xin came inside of his house, took a huge wooden helmet and gave it to him.

"I don't know if this thing can last longer but I'm pretty sure that it's tough enough to withstand a couple of punches.

"Thank you, i only need this to hide my head."

"Why hide?"

"Well….. Some are scared when they look into my face…"

"You don't look scary at all, you look more gentle to me."

"Thank you for compliment Owner."

"Your welcome."

"So what's your plan after this?"

"Plan? Well, my plan is to join the Gotei 13 with my friend. I think joining them will make my life more meaningful."

"That's good, serving the Gotei 13 place is good."

"I'm going then," Sajin then asked," Can I ask you, something Owner?"

"Sure what is it?"

"Can you show me your face? Every time i come here you always wear a mask."

"Sorry i can't do that, this is for your own good and for my personal protection."

"We.... nevermind, I'm going then,"

"Take care."

It's not important to see Xin's face, for Sajin, he can easily identify someone with just the smell of the individual, this is one of the common traits of his clan.

A couple of minutes later, Rangiku and Gin come back after their usual speed run, they do this for almost 3 years so speed run is pretty normal for them.

"Gin take your sword, let me check your improvement."

"Yes, Master."

Gin excitedly took his sword and ran ignorant of the tree in the yard, he then kicked the tree trunk to make the leaves fall above him.

He then starts to wave his sword, not like the other wild sword, Gin's technique is pretty simple, he only did a simple stab.

Each stab is like a monotone, but Gin's stab is not simple as you see, every stab he hits the middle of the leaves that fall, he never stabs the second time, he only stabs once and if he fails he stabs and finds a new target.

After minutes, a bunch of leaves assembled in his sword neatly, Gin excitedly said," How is it, master?"

"Good, 5 stab per-seconds, that's pretty fast."

"Pooh~ so slow, Master can stab 40 per seconds, you still have a long way to go," Rangiku said.

"Master is master, in the future I can do more faster than Master." Gin irritates me.

"In your dream."

"I will become faster in the future, my first goal is to do 100 stab seconds."

"Good luck,"

Xin smiled at them, they both beaker every day but they are always good to each other, he doesn't know why Rangiku is always eyeing Gin whenever he teaches him.

"What about you? How's your training?"

"I already master Tailoring Master, and also Flower Arrangement, we also found a good client yesterday,"

"Good, who is the client you're talking about?"

"They are from the Shihōin Clan."

"Shihōin The Shihōin Clan is one of the Four Great Noble families of Soul Society." Gin said.

"The head of the Shihōin family leads the Onmitsukidō. Also known as the Tenshiheisōban "Defender of the Realm", they are the Caretakers of the Hōgu and Bugu said to have been bestowed on them by the gods."

"So who's your customer there?"

"Our customer is the First Princess of the Shihōin Clan, we are going to prepare a huge flower piece tomorrow, the flower is already ready by them, we only need to arrange it."

"Okay, let's continue the training, we will finish early today so that you both can rest earlier,"

"Yes, Master."

Xin smiled at them thinking if he can see Yoruichi tomorrow, he doesn't know if he can also find some new face on their site but he is still excited thinking that he will visit her home tomorrow.
