And it appears there is no shortage of romance in the Soul Society, from students of the academy to members of the Gotei 13.

Deputy Head Captain and Captain of the 7th Division Kaito Nitta seemed to be quite friendly don't they? I noticed they vanished for a short while, with whispers that they were seen together in a poor district in Rukongai, disguised as peasants no less, perhaps to avoid being spotted by members of the Gotei 13. Was this just a simple mission? If so why was it just those two who handled everything, together. Either way . . . I assure you, I'll be keeping my eyes on this pair.

Speaking of potential love blossoming in the Rukongai, I noticed that a certain pair of 6th Division officers were spending some time together over the recent summer. Of course I'm talking about Tsuki Ruriko and Seiji Nitta. Again, far away from the prying eyes of their superiors, now what reason could they have to be spending time together so far away from the academy if it wasn't romantic? Don't think I didn't notice you two in my gardens a few years ago! Something is definitely going on between those two.

I was also told about an perhaps unlikely pair sharing a drink after the battle with the dragon finally died down. Captain of the 12th Division Aiko Hattori and Kido Corps Commander Katon Miho. Given the intensity of the battle, everyone deserved a decent drink, but what could be going on between those two I wonder? Could just simply be two colleagues sharing a drink and bonding over shared experiences or is the Kido Commander digging his claws into the Captain to get a glimpse as her mysterious lab? After all, reports state Aiko took the dragon there for research, maybe Katon wants a peak at that dragon, or maybe he wants to bring himself closer to the Captain knowing her connections to nobility?
