Shall I Belong? [Open][Finished]

Mirja's words solidified and satiated Taichou's insecurity; she wasn't alone anymore. She had someone to count on, to look up to, a true home. These were the first steps for her; but in any event, she began to belong.

Mirja took Taichou to the kitchen after telling her that there was always somewhere for her here. The girl seemed to take it strangely, the staring and slight confusion was a bit unnerving, but nothing she couldn't handle. This was her after all, handling things was her forte.
"So, I can help you out with some physical training, teach you the best way to strike, and practice with you so you have some real time abilities rather than just hitting a dummy all day. But as good as you get with me, you'll not get anywhere until you join the Shin'o Academy. So make sure you do that when you are feeling confident. Other than that, welcome to my house, Taichou"

Smiling, Taichou nodded while she was lead into the kitchen by her new mentor. "Alright!" Taichou pumped her fist, a fire rising in her eyes as she began to daydream about her future as a Shinigami. But first, she had to kick the ass of the Shin'o Academy entrance exam. And she knew that she would with Mirja by her side.
