"Times are peaceful nowadays, wouldn't you say Jushiro?" "I agree Shunsui I'd say things haven't been the same around here for the past 200 years or so. I'd say it's quite delightful."

The year is 2213 and things have been peaceful since Shunsui became Head Captain Commander of the Gotei 13.

We now direct our gaze to a youthful boy abou 5 feet 10 inches tall, with semi long dark hair, unusually green eyes, a long scar across his right arm that runs the entire length of his arm the scar is in the shape of two lines crossing directly in the middle but then curving away at the ends, the boy is wearing the normal Shin O Academy uniform and is running through the Academy frantically.

"Gonna be late, gonna be late, gonna be late. I can't believe I overslept, the Shinigami Exams are today.

"Hey Yuzuki you in a hurry?"

A large bald headed guy about 6 foot 3 with a Shin O Academy uniform on stepped out from the corner.

"Not now Kiza I'm not in the mood to deal with you today," said the dark haired boy we now know as Yuzuki.

" Come on Yuzuki you know the exams are today."

"You know damn well I do so shouldn't you be worried about taking them yourself there Kiza?"

"Please an expert like me has no need to worry I'll pass with flying colors."

"Yeah if that's what you want to believe then so be it."

Yuzuki starts back on the path that he was previously on when suddenly. *Knock* Kiza slams his fist into Yuzuki's head.

" What did you do that for Kiza?"

"Well it's simple really I just want to test your skills to see if you're really shinigami worthy just know that if you drop your guard I'll kill you."

Kiza began to draw his Academy sword when an older man with a Shin O Academy teachers uniform appeared and yelled for them to take their exams.

"That's okay my blade may not have got to taste your blood but I guess watching you fail will suffice, have fun staying in this dump see ya Yuzuki."

Kiza turned and walked away throwing his hand up as to say goodbye, Yuzuki shrugged it off his shoulders and began running towards his goal again.
