Preparations... [Mei] [Finished]

"Yes my lady... here Master Kouzetsu has ordered I returned this parchment to you." the young Angelic clerk said, sounding much relived to be in the presence of someone not as rigid Gin. He gathered himself and neatly organized his paperwork in one stack, lifting it carefully, making sure the papers didn't hamper his vision. As he stood he cleared his throat, "My lady, I believe master Kouzetsu would like to meet with you as you just missed him, as he said he was going to train in his favorite clearing in the forest." the young cleric said as he bowed before the Heavenly King, taking care to not drop any papers, as he walked away to continue his assigned tasks.

Maintaining his stance was crucial to the Kata Gin was performing, perfect execution of the set of moves would be the only way Gin felt he could end the myriad training session he was engaged in. As he moved with exquisite grace and poise, he firmly held his Nandao, thrusting in one direction, while fluidly changing the position of his feet to guard, switching to a feint, and finally ending the move set with a quick turn of the edge of the blade, followed by a short stab and follow through.

As Gin stood there, standing to bask in his own sense of accomplishment, this wind brought in two thing; a refreshing gust to cool the minute beads of sweat that had accumulated on his brow, as well as the person he wished to see that day, the King of the Third Layer of Heaven, Isurugi Mei. Gin looked toward the sky as he saw her decend, planting his blade firmly in the earth, he broke his otherwise perfect stance to address that his superior had landed before him.

"My liege Isurugi-sama, so glad you could meet me here, it would seem we have much to discuss concerning the appropriate training of Heaven's military." Gin said, pushing his glasses on his face, delving straight to the very subject, in which he sought this meeting for.

"Ah yes, As you can see noted within the parchment I have agreed to personally see to the special training the Malakite warriors, the emphasis on this training will focus on tactical combat engagement as well as a rigid and strict clinic on proper swordsmanship and weapons proficiency. These areas were the weakest among my inspection and subsequent evaluation of our current military status my liege. Hopefully, after these improvements, the already capable elite warriors of the Third Realm can quell any insurrection, and provide the utmost efficient protection of the Heavens from the droves of Hell." Kouzetsu said firmly as he addressed his superior, his words flowing with impeccably phonetical accuracy.

"The Leader of the 'fallen'..." Kouzetsu stated, using a petty euphemism to acknowledge the Ha-ou of, "moves have become unpredictable as of late, and I cannot adequately access his/her motives, starting with this false peace initiative, and becoming involved with another of our Heavenly Kings, the Yamazaki Seishi Ren, leading me to take the appropriate precautions in securing Heavens stability." Kouzetsu finished, as he walked toward Mei.

"Let me ask you my liege, what did you hope to accomplish when you ventured in to the 'fallen' leaders realm, and what may I asked transpired during the altercation the ensued shortly afterward." Kouzetsu inquired, now looking directly in to his leaders eye's.

Kouzetsu watched silently as his commanding officer fell to the ground in a sudden display of emotion. A slight breeze came through the clearing, blowing Kouzetsu's robes as he stood by stoically while his leared poured her heart out to him. Kouzetsu learned many years ago to distance himself from emotions, as they hamper the judical process and and cloud the very difined world of which he adheared to, the law. Sensationalism was the antihesis to which he stood for, but Kouzestu himself was not without understanding. He knew and well understood how Mei felt about the invasion attempt into hell, and though he didn't show it he was quite displeased. He himslef had to document and see to the paperwork for those few slain in the attempt, blaming the Ha-ou for his inabilty to control his own subordinates. But above all else, Kouzetsu was aware of Mei's origins, she was a Fae, not a celestial like himself, and understanding this he knew Fae were prone to being emotional. He couldn't expect one such as that to easily seperate themselves into the emotionally neutral world of the law, it would be unfair if anything.

"Stand my lady, such displays are unbecming of a King, I understand your angish and lament as well, there should have been a stronger backing to follow you, but the leader of the 'fallen' has her clutches all throught the Heavenly order, you cannot allow yourself the full blame when we are surrounded by 'fallen' sympathizers and sicophants, extending to all of those which choose to be bedfellows literal and figuratively with the 'fallen commander." Kouzetsu said, walking over to Mei, extending a hand to aid her in stand back up.

"The 'fallen' choose to think heaven is weak, inserting the seeds of inserection with vairious nefarious agents, it would seems the one who has no control over their own realm will not rest until desention permeates all of existance, this why I feel we should be prepared for anything. Those whose faith still lies in the Heavens will not stand idly by as our own Realm is treated as second class to those not fit to continue living by the very laws that govern all that is right. Even if this means the disposal of the very Kings who have been, courupted by the 'fallen'." Kouzetsu said, pushing his glasses back on his face with his other hand.

"I agree my lady, I am aware that in these uncertain times we must be prepared for any and everything those who wish to see the Heaven's torn asunder have to muster, you must be strong my Lady, your are King of the Layer that houses the most capable warriors that Heaven possess, and you are a capable warrior yourself." Kouzetsu said softly as he caressed Mei hand.

Letting go of Mei's hand gently, Kouzetsu went to retrieve his sword from the earth, pulling a satin cloth from his pocket, he removed the earth from his blade before placing it in his sheath.

"The program I seek to implement will be an arduous one, my Lady, please send me a list of those warriors you fell special enough to lead, as they will be drilled by my Einjheriar and I, eventually leading the remaining ranks of the Heavens after the program is completed." Kouzetsu said as he stood before Mei.

"I assure you my Lady, you need not worry about solitary battles against the 'fallen' again as I give you my word guided by the very Laws I live and abide by, the next time such an event takes place, I will be by your side, and my divine blade will taste the anguish of our foes."

"In any case, I am truly happy to see such progression in the advances in the progression of reestablishing Heavenly might." Kouzetsu said, smiling at his leader, her resolve returned to her, aided by his words praise, encouragement and reassurance. "I am quite satisfied with my training here today, come my Lady allow me to escort you for Tea, I know of place in Israfel that brews a special blend of leaves native only to the Ahabiel, they are quite exquisite indeed." Kouzetsu continued, placing his hand on her shoulder.
