Nori sat in her office doing the daily task of paperwork that needed to be completed. While she sat reading over one of the pieces a knock came at her door.
“Enter,” she told them in a meager tone as she paid mind to the paper she was reading.
She did not look up as the door slid open and a body stepped into the room.
“Captain,” Izuru said bowing to her.
She looked up from the paper to Izuru with a smile. “Izuru? What a surprise. Is there something wrong?”
He seemed a little uneasy as he stood before her. She put the piece of paper down giving him her full attention.
“There has been rumor floating around the barracks; among other places. It seems some of the squad 3 members are a little troubled over it.”
Nori lends forward folding her hands on top of her desk and smiled at Izuru. “A rumor you say?”
She gestured for him to close the door and take a set in front of her desk. Izuru did as he was told and sat down in the chair before her.
“May I ask what this rumor is over?” Noir asked him.
“Captain Hitsugaya.” Izuru told her almost at a whisper.
Nori nodded. “I have heard many things of this captain. All of them good things, but then there are the bad rumors as well. Either way. I; nor you, should fall prey to rumor. I am sure whatever it was you heard there is good reason for it to have happened. If it happened at all.”
“It is said that the seraph is back with Aizen in Las Noches.” Izuru said.
“Let me ask you, Izuru?” Nori stood from her chair and walked toward Izuru. “Is there a spy in Las Noches?”
Izuru shook his head. “Not to my knowledge, Captain.”
“Then how does anyone know this for a fact? Again. It is only rumor.”
Izuru nodded. “Yes Captain.”
Walking around behind the chair Izuru occupied, Nori nodded, continuing around back to her desk. Her arms were folded behind her, one hand cupped into the other.
“Tell the squad members if there is anymore talk of this they will deal with me personally.”
“Yes Captain.”
She turned once behind her desk and looked at him.
“I will not tolerate the gossiping; especially about another Captain or officer serving in the Gotei 13. If they have something they would like to talk about tell them to come see me. I will keep them so busy with work the only thing they will be talking about is what a bitch their captain is.”
Izuru’s eyes widened at her last statement. “Y…yes Captain. I will inform them of this.”
Nori nodded at him and pulled out her chair to sit. “You're dismissed, Lieutenant.”
Izuru stood and bowed. “Yes Captain.”
He then turned leaving the room and Nori to finish her paperwork.
