"How to go about learning Bankai? Well, it's not as easy as just getting them to chat with you. You're gonna have to bring them here, into our world. It takes some time to get that part down, but you shouldn't have too much of a problem with it." Sairou said with a smirk, remembering how hard it was for him to get Shiden to come out from his own world.
"Just don't try and force them out by hitting them against a rock or something... I doubt it'll end up well..." he said, with a nervous laugh as he gave fairly obvious advice to his lieutenant. "Oh yeah, and if you'd like to use the are I went to for training I can show you where it is." he said with a smile. He began to think back on his own training for bankai, remembering the nostalgic, yet slightly gloomy memories.

Fully ready to do so, Hitomi nods her head yes and accepts the offer to be taken down to the secret area that Sairou used.
Y-yes! I can start right away. Masamune has been telling me for the longest time that I should take my training up to the next level!

Sairou grinned at her words. "Time for my lieutenant to learn about the secret squad three training grounds!" he said with a smile. Although it really wasn't an official training grounds, and only Sairou used it, he still called it squad three's whenever he mentioned it.
"Alright, let's get going!" he said as he used Shunpo to travel to the training area. Even using Shunpo the entire time it took Sairou about thirty minutes to reach the training grounds. However, since he was leading someone, he decided to move a little slower, and they reached the area in about 45 minutes.
They ended up in a practically empty field with a few trees. There were also some holes in the ground which were the result of Sairou training in the area. In the distance, the Seireitei was barely visible, and looked extremely small. "Well, here it is. Only you, me, and the previous Squad Three captains know about this place, so don't tell anyone about it. Good luck with the training." he said with a smirk, before waving and heading back to the Seireitei.

Hitomi successfully achieved her Bankai, and from the process was exhausted by it. She limps in through the entrance of the barracks, and collapses in front of Captain Sairou's desk.
I..I did it Captain! I.... I got... Banka-
Completely drained of her energy, Hitomi passes out right there.

Sairou looked up as the door to his office opened to see his lieutenant, who looked very exhausted. He opened his mouth to congratulate her, but she passed out before he could say anything. "Well, looks like you did a good job. Congratulations on Bankai." he said with a smile before picking his lieutenant up and laying her on one of the beds in a nearby room.
"Hmm... maybe I should get someone for the fourth division to help her out..." he thought as he went back to his office to get his book. He figured she just needed some rest, but having a medic at the side wouldn't hurt. As he headed back to his passed out lieutenant, he told another squad member to get a medic just in case. When he reached the room, he sat down on another bed and began reading his book. As he read his book, he would chuckle lightly as he thought up random pranks he could pull on his lieutenant.

In her sleep, Hitomi dreams of clouds. She has no clue if the clouds symbolize anything, but seeing them brings her comfort. She knows that she's overcome one of the most difficult trials a shinigami can go through, and finds satisfaction in that. In the depths of her sub-conciousness she thinks she can feel Masamune nodding in approval. After an undisclosed amount of time, Hitomi suddenly feels herself getting a burst of energy. She slowly opens her eyes to see that a medic was healing her.
Did... something happen..?
This medic, a young lad with shoulder length hair simply smiles at her and continues to restore her reiatsu.
Just hold still for a little longer Hitomi... i'm almost done..
Hitomi sighs, and relaxes again as she feels her energy being restored. The boy eventually finishes his job and takes a bow as he leaves the area.
Ah... thank you..
Hitomi sits up in her bed, and ponders to herself about what she should be doing.

"Good to have you back, Lieutenant." Sairou said as he closed the book he was reading and turned to Hitomi. "Congratulations on gaining your Bankai. It looked like it took a lot out of you. How was the trial?" he asked with a smirk. He wondered if it was anything like his own trials with Shiden; although with the differences in their personalities, he figured it wasn't going to be all that similar.

Hitomi sighs a little and then gives an easy-going smile, and tells her captain what happened during the bankai trial.
Well, Masamune put me through.. quite a lot. She asked me a lot of questions about myself, such as what my hopes, dreams, and desires were, and tested them against me. I think her main message was that I should try to be a little bit more independent. But sheesh, some of the fighting she made me do was ridiculous. And yiiikes, she herself is frightfully strong. I could barely land a hit on the lady, what with all the tornadoes she was shooting at me at all times of the fight!
[Due to author laziness, assume Hitomi told Sairou about absolutely everything in her Bankai Topic in an excited manner.] Hitomi sighs after finishing her story, and claps her hands together.
I'm hungry!

Sairou listened as his lieutenant explained her trials and battles. "Sounds like it was pretty tough. Fighting against a wind-type zanpakutou would probably be pretty hard." he said, thinking back to his own battle against his zanpakutou. "Have you tried out your Bankai yet?" he asked, before his lieutenant spoke about food.
"Ah, ha ha. I suppose you would be after such a tough battle. How about we take the squad out to dinner to celebrate you getting Bankai?" he said with a grin, getting hungry himself as he thought of the food.

Hitomi immediately perks up at the sound of a celebratory dinner. As hungry as she is, she figures she does need some food in her belly.
Yes sir! That sounds fantastic! I'd very much like a bit of dinner. Oh and... I haven't actually had a chance to try my bankai out yet... I was.. pretty exhausted after the whole thing. Hehe
She slowly eases herself out of bed, and awaits the captain's orders.

Sairou stood up and grinned at the thought of a party. Dinners with the whole squad were always fun to have for Sairou; especially when the members would try to out-prank their captain. "Alright! let's get the rest of the squad together and we can go out for expensive sushi or something!" he said with a wide grin as he ran through the barracks, shouting "Party!" the whole time.
When he gathered the squad members that were free he went back to his lieutenant. "So. Where should we go for your Bankai celebration?" he asked enthusiastically.

Hitomi giggles a little seeing how enthusiastic her squad is, but maintains her composure. She places her hand behind her head and thinks a little bit about where she wants to go.
There's a pretty nice Teriyaki joint they run in the second district of Rukongai... how about we go there?
The squad has been to this place numerous times before, but Hitomi has always taken a liking to this area. Probably because the shopkeep is a bit of a ruffian himself, and doesn't mind all the pranks that Squad 3 likes to play on each other. Bracing herself, because she knows she's going to end up the butt of nearly every prank, Hitomi gets up off the bed and looks to her captain to give the order.
