~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Ch.1 Final Exam~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"This will be your final assignment in the academy," instructor Reza Shidobo explained walking in front of her soon to graduate class of students. "You have been training together for the last two years. I expect you all to come back alive," she added with a hint of venom in her voice. She started from the left side of her students looking over them from head to toe. They all were as stoic as possible except for one, Kyton.

The young lad shook visibly. He was always nervous before any assignment, but he was one of the best kido user she ever saw as well as a gifted healer. Standing in front of her was by far her strongest student. Kuto Mizura. Standing easily over seven feet tall with flaming red hair and built of pure muscle. Next to him was Kai Gino. A young fairly handsome black man. He showed talent with a blade but was more proficient in kido and strategy forming Next in the lineup was Fiona Yashibu. A very attractive woman in her own right but was always showing it off. She wore her top open at all times showing her armor underneath, a chain link vest that went down to above her navel. She was a skilled fighter but tended to perform more than fight. Next was Kyton Lazori. He was a small boy, not more than a few inches taller than five foot. His shouldered black hair messily hung in his face blocking his eyes, but she knew he was looking away from her avoiding eye contact as much as possible. Last in the lineup was a first in her time of being a shinigami instructor, Hart Sheppard, a bount. After the bount invasion to the Soul Society years back some bouts came out of hiding. They were welcomed to live in the Rukon districts. Hart was a skilled fighter and his doll Snyder was fierce.

"This assignment will be your first to the world of the living and the first where you will be facing real Hollows," Reza stated taking her place in front of the class, "If any of you wish to back out do so now. This will be a true test of your skills. You fail here you die." None of the student stepped away. "Well then let us go then," she said with a slight wicked grin as she turned and walked through the Sinkimo gate, her class close behind.

As they stepped out of the Dongi precipice into the world of the living they were standing in the middle of a city street. Large two to three story office building on both sides. "Well then I will leave this to you all. The Hollows should appear soon. Others are surrounding the area holding a barrier up to keep them in the area and to destroy any that try to escape," Reza turned her head to face her students. With a devilish grin on her lips, "Good luck," and with those last words she disappeared to monitor them from a distance.

"Alright then let's go find those hollows!" Kuto shouted raising his sword over his head beginning to walk down the road. Kyton looked through his bangs at the exited giant as he stomped down the pavement shouting more to unseen enemies. I don't see why he so exited these aren't dummies we could get hurt. Kyton walked in the back of the group between Hart and Fiona as Kia and Kuto took the lead.

"You seem more exited then normal Kuto," Kia laughed watching his friend excitedly swing his sword around in the air.

"Of course! I'm done with fighting those fake hollows that sensei kept having us fight. Now it's time for some real action," Kuto yelled loudly with a wide smile crossing his face. Kyton continued the walk slowly behind then two with his head down. It seems almost like he doesn't understand the gravity of this mission.

"Kyton are you alright," Fiona softly said nearly making Kyton jump out his skin.

"Y-y-yeah I'm O.K. just a little nervous. You know live hollow and all," Kyton replied with a weak laugh.

"There's nothing to worry about. Just do everything we trained, and if anyone gets hurt we have you. We'll be fine," she said smiling sweetly placing her hand on his shoulder. Right everything we trained, and as long as I'm here no one will die. Die Kyton could not keep that last thought out of his mind. What if he failed? What if he froze up? What if he was the one that... No he wouldn't let those thoughts enter his head anymore he was going to do his job here and make sure everyone came back. Alive.

Please review and Ch. 2 will be up soon. Thanks.
