4 Goals (1/2)

As Gin looked at the boy, a hint of fear showed on his face, but he quickly took it back returning to his usual smirk. Rangiku saw this and immediately knew that Gin had seen Itsuki's eyes. She gave Gin a rundown on the boy's situation as she saw his fear subside. At first Gin wanted to let the boy go on his own way but after much pleading from Rangiku he finally relented in allowing Itsuki to stay with them.

As he approached the boy, he looked at his blindfold and started speaking.

”Minamoto-san...” he barely started to speak when Itsuki interrupted him.

”Please call me by my first name”

”Then, Itsuki-san, would you like to stay with us?”

A noticeable smile appeared on Itsuki's face as he heard the question. He knew that Ichimaru Gin was doing this all for the sake of Rangiku. But he wasn't upset, he quite liked Gin's character, as whatever he did in the anime was all for Rangiku.

Seeing him smile bought a hint of surprise to Gin as he remembered the indifferent look Itsuki gave when they first met, but this went unnoticed by the rest as one was too busy eating while the other was blindfolded.

- 1 Week Later -

A week has gone by since Itsuki arrived and has continuously trained his eyes to not focus on the lines of death, finding a way to turn them off similar to how Shiki Ryougi turns them off. With the help of memory partition and thoughts acceleration he got results exceedingly fast and was able to shift his focal point to not see these lines.

He became more proficient in using memory partition and thought acceleration but showed no active progress in them. He couldn't train in Hiten mitsurugi-ryu due to being blindfolded and not having access to any kind of sword.

As Itsuki was blindfolded he was also able to train his other senses as they got more sensitive than his eyes. This then led to him being able to sense the surrounding reiatsu and the reiatsu of a person. It was like how Ichigo was able to once again sense reiatsu due to being blinded by Ginjo after he lost his Shinigami powers. As he was able to turn his mystic eyes off, he was able to remove his blindfold and see the world in all its glory. He found a lake to use as a mirror and was finally able to see his appearance. He couldn't see before as he always kept his blindfold on and only took it off when training.

After looking into the lake, what entered his vision was a remarkably handsome yet immature young man. He had put his hair into a high ponytail with a blue ribbon, courtesy of Rangiku, and had deep azure, gem like eyes. It seemed that his eyes only lost the inner red/pinkish ring and its glow. His face looked quite cold and apathetic with his gaze being extremely cold. This didn't go unnoticed by him as he concluded that his mystic eyes had, in one way or another, dampened his emotions to some extent. Although he was able to smile and show emotions when he was with Rangiku and Gin, he was told that any other time his face showed no emotions.

His clothes were pretty much the same as before as they never had enough capital to buy another piece of clothing.
