Welcome to Gaia! ::

The captain's (Kisu-pon's) exclusive meditation area, which he opens for anyone who cares to give an afternoon of relaxation and mental focus a shot. High walls surround it since the members of his squad aren't big on mediation and to keep out the loud riff-raff among them. Apparently he built it himself, considering how out of place it is in the eleventh squad and the fact that its in the middle of Seireitei yet looks like a bamboo forest clearing complete with large rocks for meditating on and a large waterfall that pours into a disproportionately small lake below. The high walls surrounding it and slightly taller bamboo stalks further add to the effect of it being a place both within and yet totally separate from the eleventh squad, in fact it seems to be taken from a place outside the Seireitei as if physically removed from there and moved here.
Surely it wasn't built by strength of arm alone?

Since it was built, the only person Kisuke has invited here was a certain student he kept a watchful and protective, if not all-too-protective eye on. This student had no hope for herself and didn't even know how to properly use her powers. It was here Kisuke told her what he's now taken on as a motto: "It doesn't matter how, even if its impossible, just do it."
Those meaningful words gave her confidence, and In addition to that he helped her through a few exercises to tap into her blocked powers.... Whether that block was simply a mental block of her own creation or something more has yet to be seen as a strange incident occurred with that student and her powers since then. It was during that incident that Kisuke learned his words had impacted her so much as they were what got her back to her old self. They hold a particular significance to him now, as does that student.
Back then, he wondered whether or not it would have been easier to have just put a foot up her butt and told her to be a man like his old man used to do to him, which worked just fine for him, but you have to be delicate with girls.
There isn't actually a hut, just a chill name : P

(( razz ))

The woman followed after Kisu, shaking her head and making a face. "Trust me, wasn't interested.." She breathed, gazing about herself. The place was beautiful, she had to admit. She walked around for a bit, looking about her with a small little face of curious amusement. "Is this all your doing? Never took you for a handyman..." (Giggity.) She mused.

The woman was wide eyed for a moment, staring at the man in awe, before looking around herself again. "That's....amazing, Kisu. I'm impressed..." She breathed, going over to the waterfall, gazing in the pond before slipping her fingers into the cool water of the water fall. "Very, very impressed." She whispered, smiling lightly. She always liked places like these. When she had the bar (which was empty these days) she had attempted to make her own Zen garden, but it was ugly and nothing compared to this. She felt a bit of envy, but mostly respect for what Kisuke could do. It was a pleasant surprise.
She smiled lightly. "Can people swim in the pond?" She asked, curiously. She wasn't entirely sure if Kisu was a**l about this place or not, and she really didn't want to ask. Part of her wanted to go swimming, but she probably couldn't find her way through the mess of roads and tress to get back to her room so she could find her swim suit. She gazed into the water, waiting on Kisu's answer. The woman looked....different, sort of. When she was at peace, or as close to peace as the woman could get, one could see just how pretty the woman was. Gazing into the water, one wondered what she was looking for in it's gentle waves, what could Kima Aaura possibly care for? She was a strong woman, normally confident. A little ditsy, a little silly, a little stupid. But gazing at her now, watching her seem to debate the life's questions as she watched the waters, one forgets these things.
Kima is Kima, and that's that.

((If this doesn't help bud a crush, then iunno what will. ))

"Well, I mean, if you're against it, I won't. I may not seem like it, but I do respect things that people care for." She mused, sitting beside the water and looking up, watching Kisu disappear into his little building, yawning a cat like yawn and laying on her back, gazing at the sky. It was nice here. She heard the doors open again and glanced over, seeing the man in regular clothes, and blinked, tilting her head. He actually looked rather cute. Of course, the 'Sex Machine' bit kind of ruined it. "And, even if I wanted to go swimming in your pond..." She continued. "...I couldn't. I only realized it after I asked. I probably wouldn't be able to find my way back to my room to get my swim suit. You look handsome, by the way."

The woman shook her head at the mans prio comment, choosing not to comment on it, but storing it in her mind for later. The woman smiled lightly up at Kisuke, shaking her head. "No, really. You look very handsome in that outfit." She said, stretching. "You know me well enough to know that, if I saw a chance to make fun of you, I would. But I don't lie, and I'm saying you look good." She huffed. "So take the compliment and stop acting as if you don't know your ho---good looking." She narrowed her eyes, wondering what word she was trying to form before she had quickly changed it.

The woman nodded absentmindedly at the mans talking, trying to figure out what word she had attempted to use, when he said it himself. She went wide eyed and seemed to look confused for a moment, questioning herself, before shaking her head. Leave it be, Kima, he didn't bring it up so there's no reason for you too.
Kima rolled her bright red eyes and gave a less-than-amused look to Kisuke. "You know, you keep milking me for compliments and I might have to try and get some myself. You a perfectly fine captain, I mean, no ones died, have they? Now stop that." She said, finding herself laughing softly.

((b***h you go to bed and I will beat youuu. ))

The woman had a million and one urges right at that moment, one of which was to shove Kisuke into his pond. But she couldn't do that, because he worked hard on that pond, and she wouldn't be too pleased if someone just disgraced something she spent so long working on. She glared at Kisuke, and shook her head. "I reeaaallly want to push you into the pond right now." She grumbled, eyes narrowed.
