Storming the Seireitei

Part 1
Jail Cells.

Fujimoto Kumiko sat on a lone seat in the middle of the empty cell, bound by a strong rope to stop her from using her hands. She looked round the cell silently, she had been awake for a number of hours after encountering the Shinigami, spending them procrastinating about Fujiwara and his condition. After calming down she took her first deep breath since waking up.

Just as she did so the cell doors opened, making her lift her head, to her dismay she saw the lieutenant Shinigami she encountered with two other subordinate shinigami following closely behind him.

"I am Yamada Kooji, lieutenant of the 9th Division of the Gotei 13, I'm here to ask you some questions.", he said calmly, looking at the young fullbringer dead in the eyes.

"What did you do to Fujiwara!", she exclaimed, ignoring Kooji's words.

"Your friend had to be put down...", Kooji started, but before he could finished all he felt was Fujimoto's leg sink into his abdomen as she jumped out of her chair and kicked him, screaming out of grief.

The lieutenant took a step back as the other shinigami pinned her down, albeit with some minor difficulty. He walked back to Fujimoto, rubbing his cheek in doing so.

"Put extra restraints on her.", he ordered the two shinigami, "I'll talk to you after you calm down.", Yamada said to the struggling woman.

As he walked away Fujimoto wrestled with the two shinigami, she managed to stand up and shouted to the lieutenant, "You bastard!"

Kooji ignored her and walked out of the cell, he sighed and walked out of the cells, accidentally stumbling into a familiar face.

"Hasegawa.", Yamada said, looking at his fellow lieutenant.

"Kooji-san.", Kuroda replied.

"What are you doing here then?", Kooji said sharply, his eyes narrowing at his ally.

"I was just going to talk to the prisoner about some-.", Kuroda started, he was however, cut off by Kooji.

"That's none of your business is it? It's mine.", Yama snapped, he looked at the arm band Hasegawa was sporting, raising his eyebrows.

"So you finally got promoted then.", he said blankly, "It's about time, although I don't see what you've done recently to warrant one.", he finished, looking at the shocked Hasegawa.

"Anyway I've come to tell you that there is a Ryoka in the .", Kuroda said.

"What!", Yamada said, clearly shocked, "Do we know who it is?", he pressed on.

"Yes, it's that other Fullbringer we saw in the human world.", Hasegawa said, exaggerating Kooji's surprised look.

"How? I killed him myself!", he said, increasingly getting angrier.

"He survived.", Kuroda said grimly, "I saw and battled him myself, he's gotten stronger too, he was able to create swords out of reiatsu.", he finished off, much to Kooji's chargin.

"I've relayed all the knowledge I gathered on him to the captains, so we are prepared to-", he was cut off by Yamada shoving him aside.

"Out of my way!", he said viciously, storming off out of the jail barracks, with Kuroda looking at him with mild confusion.

"There is no way some two-bit human is going to humiliate me.", he said through his teeth, "He's not getting in the seireitei, even if it kills me.

Part 2
The past couple of days in the Shiba residence felt like training to Fujiwara more than mere housework. He stumbled back and forth, doing rather absurd jobs such as feeding pet boar, Bonnie, which was more of less arena fighting as the boar seemed to not like Fujiwara too much. Helping Ganju do shopping, which was hard to do due to Ganju's habit of acting tough in front of the locals, causing fights that Fujiwara had to break up and helping with gathering the materials needed for the cannon they were going to use.

After doing his chores he had to train with the spirit cannon balls, which he was slowly getting better at, as he was able to form perfect spheres, whereas he could only form less stable forms, such as ovals and rectangles when he first arrived.

The day before invading the seireitei.

Fujiwara woke up to the sound of Ganju's pet boar, Bonnie, making a ruckus again, he quickly got dressed, having his breakfast earlier than usual. He started to make his way to the back garden, however, he was caught by Kūkaku.
