A little peace? (open)

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Ichigo gone in to attack the shinigami only for a shield to come up around him he looked towards Ana holding off his attack wondering why she had done that he looked confused before he stepped back seeing her run in and deleiver a kick to the guy who was sent through the wall quickly he lay there for a momeent not knowing what just happened.

Ichigo looked at Ana ''Why'd you--'' he began but he stopped in hsi sentance as she told him to cool down he blinked a few times before he looked around and then back at Ana ''Sorry...i guess i got caught up in the moment there'' he said as he clentched one of his fists up in front of him. He nodded once when she asked if he was calm he knew he had a temper on him but wow he sure did forget himself for a moment there. ''Im cool...wont happen again'' he said and then lifted Zangetsu up and over his shoulder back into his strapping and then looked through the wall where the shinigami had gone right through. ''You!'' Ichigo called out to him because well he still didnt know this guy's name.

''Ow...man that hurt!'' the shinigami complained as he sat up rubbing his head before he realised Ichigo was standing before him he jumped up quick and swung his zanpakuto at Ichigo who leaned to one side to escape it ''Chill!'' he said before he offered a hand to this guy. ''Your a shinigami...your not a threat to me...even if you say you are im not gonna fight anymore i want answers and now'' Ichigo stated.

The shinigami raised his eyebrows and then took Ichigo's hand and was pulled to his feet ''Well...im not done fighting i still have to see that hollowfication of yours...'' he said. Ichigo shook his head ''Sorry...no can do...'' he began. ''Look all i wanna know is what's going on?'' he said.

[Shoshi Ana]

Ana hadn’t meant to kick the guy through the wall just into it. She was a bit shocked with herself though smiled, oh yea her training was paying off! Another thing she could tell Orihime and Urahara. She though spoke to Ichigo before asking if he was cool and looked back to the wall and folded her arms behind her back and smiled to herself. Everyone lost their temper at times, she knew that, Ichigo a bit more than others but so long as reason got through to him then no harm done and thankfully there had been no harm done to them all, the place was still in one peace.

“Heh I hadn’t meant to kick him so hard… guess he’ll think twice before taking us or any human on again huh” she said walking over to the wall. Stupid Shinigami, never underestimate the enemy that was the motto, always have something to your advantage and surprise. Well she thought she’d just done that. Ana followed Ichigo and stood slightly behind him off to the side and smiled at the Shinigami, oh yea who’d just knocked him flat on his ass! She had and she was going to beam about that all day.

“Trust me you don’t want to face the Hollow.” Ana said shaking her head; she didn’t want to face the Hollow again, not in a place like this. Though Ana was not sure if she was strong enough to face the Hollow, the last battle had been rough enough, she didn’t want several more broken bones and possible more teeth marks on her body, which had all healed but still hiding them was not easy. “Ichigo might not see you as the enemy but I have no problem with that… I’d start talking or your ribs will start cracking and believe me you don’t want that” she said oddly calmly enough but with enough force. She honestly had no problem picturing this guy as the enemy especially if he planned on bringing out the Hollow inside Ichigo, if he so much as pushed the wrong button Ana would take serious action.



occ – haha I couldn’t help but think of the Hulk smashing Loki around the room and him just sitting there stumped… that’s what the Shinigami’s reaction reminded me of hehe.

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

(OOC: lol! i can imagine that too!!)

Ichigo looked at the Shinigami and sighed ''You say your from the zero division you just got your ass kicked by a girl!!'' he snapped and the shinigami widened his eyes ''No i didnt i was distracted! it happens'' he replied. ''Whatever!'' Ichigo said before he looked around still not knowing exsactly where they were but there was bound to be people inside and they would be soon to find the destruction they caused!

''You wanna know everything do you Ichigo?'' the shinigami asked as he dusted himself down and coughed a little from Ana's kick ''Nice attack'' he said to her before he glanced to Ichigo who seemed to be contemplating thinking within himself. Did he really wanna know everything and all there is to who is really is he knew his dad hid things from himself because it would probably not be a nice thing to hear he knew there was something more to his family his dad was a shinigami and he had yet to discover who his mother once was with all the reaitsu he had there had to be sme explantion as to why he had acheived all of this and still be human. Ichigo looked up and gave a small sigh ''I dont wanna know about my family....i just want to know about this crisis going on in Soul Society'' he told the shinigami who rasied an eyebrow ''You dont wanna know about the Kurosaki family?...'' he began only for Ichigo to scowl further ''Ok ok i wont say anything about that...your gonna find out one way or another though'' he smiled.

''Well ok....but well i beleive Soul Society's captain commander is in trouble...Yamamoto were not sure but he's disappeared off the face of the earth...we have been trying to contact him and there's no response so were sending some zero divisions down to check it out'' he said. ''I couldnt resist coming to the human world one because i needed to check out the acvtivity here...and two because i heard that you are here...i had to meet the famous Kurosaki Ichigo...afterall i know all your family and remember you'' he smirked. Ichigo frowned he was getting onto the subject of his family again ''Shut up!! get back to Soul Society'' he snapped. ''Sorry!! sorry!!'' the shinigami apologised.

Ichigo just folded his arms glaring at the guy getting impatient ''So that old dude's just gone...he wouldnt just up and leave Soul Society! he's the head captain'' Ichigo said. ''Well thats what we thought so something not right...'' the shinigami said.

Ichigo then heard Ana warn the shinigami about how he really shouldnt want to bring out Ichigo's inner hollow. Ichigo looked off a little uncomfortably but he still listened. The shinigami smirked a little ''Exsactly...i hear its just pure killing instinct...you must of really had to wrangle with that hollow Kurosaki...have you got it under control?'' he asked. Ichigo still looked off before he sighed and faced him ''For now...i have it under control'' he replied. Of course Ichigo was suddenly reminded of his battle with Ana once that he'd rather forget to say the least.

[Shoshi Ana]

Ana watched the Shinigami, he was a Shinigami after all so she couldn’t have done that much damage to him could she? Well thankfully he wasn’t a human or she’d be in serious trouble, especially with her martial art masters, they’d get up her. She’d broken one of her master’s ribs and wrist in training the other weak but still she didn’t feel strong enough yet, she had to keep practicing and hey knocking a Shinigami on his ass was a good way to start. She held back a laugh at Ichigo’s comment and just beamed to herself. Dam right he’d been beaten by a girl, serves him right for pissing her off and Ichigo.

While she understood getting distracted happened, heck it had happened to her several times in that battle, but she thought someone who was in this zero division would learn to pay more attention in battle especially when facing two people. And simply nodded her head when he complimented her “Thankyou” she said though still smiled to herself. I mean come on how many times did she get the chance to beat a Shinigami and knock them flat on their ass… well other than eating Ichigo up, which was like always, especially in training but he always got her back. Hopefully this Shinigami wouldn’t get her back for knocking him through the wall… ah that memory made her beam again.

It was about time this guy started talking and he did as Ana looked puzzled, oh right she got it now. “The dude with the long beard… right?” she added, the dude who put ribbon in his hair… yea that wasn’t strange at all. But how did someone like Yamamoto go missing exactly? It made no sense to her at all, he was like the best there was from what she recalled hearing, he kicked some serious ass and she had to wonder how did someone as powerful and skilled as him go missing? “Do you have any leads?” she asked or where they all just chasing thin air at the moment?

Ana glanced to Ichigo, of course he had the Hollow under control, they’d know about it if he didn’t, he’d been training hard so she had no doubt he was getting better at it every day which was great news! She should congratulate him for that, she’d do it later. She smiled “Good, I’d hate to have to beat his butt again Ichigo” she said though honestly she’d love to beat his butt again, he was like her worst enemy… well not worst but an enemy but she wouldn’t kill him because it meant killing Ichigo and until she could if at all possible find a way to separate the Hollow from Ichigo she was left trying not to kill Ichigo when the Hollow was out, but Ichigo had it under wraps which was a good thing. “Why do you want to see the Hollow anyway?” Ana asked “I’d have thought finding your master would be far more important than attempting to bring a Hollow out” she added with a raised eyebrow.

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Ichigo gave a small sigh he too had to wonder how the most powerful shinigami of all that was Yamamoto could just disappear he had seen this guy's zanpakuto and ability when he fought Aizen he remembered standing back watching the sky fill with his fire type zanpakuto and how much power that guy actually had, for an old dude he was pretty good! Ichigo wouldnt like to really battle him, scratch that he'd have go he'd never pass up the chance because who knew what he was capable of but he wasnt gonna go and pick a fight with him. ''How can this old guy just disappear...cant they track him! he's got a big enough reaitsu doesnt he'' Ichigo spoke up.

The shinigami nodded ''Well yes...but we cant pinpoint it...there has been another strange reaitsu reported by many in the Soul Society and well...here too...its sense in Hueco Mundo too...what could be that strong it can be felt in all those different places'' he said. Ichigo frowned ''What strange reaitsu?'' Ichigo question he certainly hadnt picked up on it, then again he had been inside the Vizards warehouse where their barrier could block out reaitsu but he'd been outside of this place for a while now. Ichigo had a thought very quickly. ''Hey...when i fought Aizen he said he could sense my reiatsu it was because mine was higher than his...so if you cant sense someone's reiatsu doesnt that mean there on a completly different level entirly?'' he asked. ''It could be...but right now were not at full power none of us are...we can pick it up in Soul Society because that place is filled with spirit energy...but i cant sense it either here...maybe whoever it is they have moved on and taken their reiatsu with them'' the shinigami began.

''We dont have any leads right now...in fact its chaos in Soul Society...captains are all suspects right now...in fact pretty much everyone could be...unless...'' the shinigami said as he tapped his chin. ''There could be a rogue hidden among Soul Society...you know how Aizen turned everyone thought he was a good captain and he turned out to be rogue'' he said. Ichigo glanced to Ana then back to the shinigami ''There turning on one another!?'' he asked. The shinigami frowned ''That i would hope not!'' he replied.

Ichigo heard Ana ask the shinigami why he wanted to bring out his hollow he just thought he was curiosity it wasnt the first time he had been told to unleash his hollow just for the hell of it. ''Well...whoever this strange reaitsu belongs to...we'll be needing your hollow...we'llbe needing your power and help from everyone we can get'' the shinigami said. He looked to Ichigo ''Will you help us...'' he said then looked to Ana ''We need it'' he added. Ichigo paused he gave nod ''Alright...you've got me on side'' he said then looked to Ana hoping she was up for this too.

[Shoshi Ana]

Ana hadn’t felt anything off, well she had today but she’d assumed it was because of what she’d come across and it highly was possible that was the reason so she had no idea what this guy was talking about. It was a worry though, if something had reaitsu so strong it was starting to be felt everywhere then the enemy was more powerful than anyone could even imagine, maybe it wasn’t one though, maybe it was a group combining their reaitsu together, though she had no idea if that was even possible. For the moment one enemy was enough let alone lots. Of course she had no idea what Ichigo was talking about. “Or there hiding it and only allowing it to be felt in certain dimensions? I mean it’s possible right?” she asked glancing from the Shinigami to Ichigo.

She couldn’t believe it, it sounded like hell on Soul Society, everything was broken down, any enemy could get in by the sounds, would they even notice if an enemy got in, no one trusted anyone, people accusing everyone. Yea no it did not sound like the place she had heard about, she had once visited but once alone. “But to get him of all people… wouldn’t there be more than one?” she questioned. She knew Aizen was locked up but what if he was behind this now? Was that even possible? Of course it could very well be someone else.

Ana looked to Ichigo when he said he’d help before he looked at her and she blinked. Ah she knew that look. Glancing away she played it all over in her mind, all the facts this Shinigami had said and frowned a little, of course if Ichigo was going then someone had to watch his back. Letting out a sigh she shook her head a little, she should just say no to this but when would she say no to someone who needed help and after all the times she’d been dragged around by Ichigo and she’d dragged him around she supposed she owed him. She looked back to the Shinigami and made a small face “Ok… count me in” she said and glanced to Ichigo folding her arms behind her back again “Someone has to watch your back” she added to Ichigo before smiling a little and looked to the Shinigami.

“So let me see if I have this right. Soul Society is going into chaos… Yamamoto is missing but there is not a single lead to who might have taken him if he was taken at all. You assume there is a rouge Shinigami and there is a new reaistu that can be felt everywhere?” she said nodding her head and licked her lips before she made a face, yea ok… that was a lot to take in, several problems there, this was going to be a long task she knew that much already.

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Ichigo was trying to recall anytimes when he might of come across a spiritual pressure that was completely different there was so much hollow activity he barely noticed half of it. It was then that Ichigo had the idea that it could be more than one of them it seemed logical but you never knew with these weirdo guy who wanted to over throw Soul Society. It was such a big organisation that many threats came and then went so it didnt surprise him if that could be the case someone was trying to force their way into Soul Society and they were posing as a regular shinigami or someone else entirly was stiring up some trouble taking Yamamoto to make Soul Society go into turmoil.

''We have to help, if that old guy isnt in charge then that leaves Soul Society wide open for an attack...'' Ichigo began but he glanced to Ana hearing her say how they could be hiding their reaitsu possibly choosing when to let it be known which meant whoever was behind this knows what there doing and probably have a plan all set up. ''Oh its possible'' the shinigami said ''It could be a group of people what they are im not sure...when ive felt the energy it wasnt normal...its not like any ive felt before...i dont know if its a shinigami's or something else'' he sighed.

Ichigo nodded a little ''With Yamamoto gone anyone can invade, its got to be someone strong or like you said a group working together to even reach a head captains level...but if i cant even pick up on this energy how am i suposed to defeat it...you dont even know what its capable of...and it could move onto the human world and Hueco Mundo...is there any reports from that place?'' he asked the shinigami. He nodded ''Well Hueco Mundo has been inspected by the 2nd division they went to see what was going on down there and there's casulties lots of them...'' he answered Ichigo. ''Damn it!'' Ichigo cursed ''Nel's there...did they name any of the casulties?'' he said to which the shinigami just shook his head ''None that i know of the reports should be in Soul Society there a big number of casulties but no names...we cant help Hueco Mundo there hollows in that place just be glad they've taken hits and not Soul Society'' he said. Ichigo scowled ''There are some of my friends over there!'' Ichigo snapped before he sighed ''Never mind! ill have to check it out for myself!'' he said.

Ichigo then looked to Ana seeing if she was willing to help she didnt seem sure ''I know...im dragging you into all this again...but i could use your help with this..'' he began. But he smirked a little when she agreed to aid him and to watch his back, yeah he needed that and reminding when he went too far like he did sometimes! ''Good...ill get in contact with Chad and Orihime too i know they'll wanna help'' Ichigo said.

The shinigami looked to Ana as she summed up what he was telling them he narrowed his eyes a little before he nodded ''Yeah...about right...well i dont know where we go from here but the zero division is working hard to try and trace the weird energy there sending 10 of us out thats nothing compared to the number of us in zero division were like an army as it were...but 10 is enough to just start our investigations...'' he said.

[Shoshi Ana]

Ana knew just from what the Shinigami was saying that they needed help, when did they not need help it seemed Soul Society got into more trouble than Ana and Ichigo did and they got into a hell of a lot of trouble as it was. If the energy had not been felt here yet… or at least Ana had not noticed it yet then maybe he or she was hiding it, choosing when to make themselves known and where and they might not even be in the place where their reaitsu was being felt if they were so strong as to get Yamamoto out of Soul Society.

A small smile spread across Ana’s face when Ichigo mentioned Nel, she liked that girl, she was very sweet in her own little way but Ana could understand why the Shinigami were not willing to aid or go to such a place, they had their own problems to deal with let alone worrying about someone else’s. She was not too sure about Ichigo going to Hueco Mundo either, not alone at least, if they had a lot of casualties then who knew what was going on, without much information Ichigo could be walking into a battle zone over there. If he was so set on paying that place a visit then she’d join him otherwise who knew what stupid thing he’d do.

“Ah I’m use to you dragging me into stuff Ichigo. All part of being your friend” she said like it was no big deal plus she wasn’t about to let him have all the fun and she could use the time in the battle field to test her knew training out. Sure she was concerned, they had no idea what they were going into, they had no upper hand in any of this, they were blind which was not a good thing. She slightly frowned though “Maybe hold off on telling them… until we get more information. I know Orihime will jump at the chance to help but…” she trailed off frowning. Was Orihime ready to take it to the next level, were any of them?

“I say we go to Hueco Mundo first, find out how bad it is, what went on and see if we can get a sense of this new threat, then maybe tell them? That way we can give them more information, know more about what we are going up against and work out a strategy rather than run in blind like a bunch of mice running into a trap” she said shrugging her shoulders a little. She didn’t know if he would go for that, maybe Chad and Orihime would want to come to Hueco Mundo, Ana just didn’t want to see them get hurt, she’d be worried about them, everyone, she was already worried about going into a place without knowing what was going on there and reports of high causalities.

She quickly recalled everything, double checking, making sure all the facts she’d processed right. She nodded her head “It’s simple, we go to the place the attack happened, we get information, we report back that way we won’t be blind, we’ll have some information and can go from there. I’m afraid that seems like the place to start your investigation” Ana said looking up to him “So are you going to come with us or cower away in a dark little corner chasing the wind endlessly?”

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

''Well im glad your willing to help!'' the shinigami said he had been assigned to check out the human world and he knew of Isshin living in Karakura in fact he hadnt seen that guy since, well since all what happened. It was really something knowing that the zero division were being called out to deal with this even when Aizen rebelled the zero division didnt get invovled it wasnt something they interfered with but something they left to the capable Soul Society captains but this, Yamamoto disappearing this needed extra aid without Yamamoto Soul Society were at a vunerable stage they needed someone to watch over it while investigations took place the captains were all suspects so they needed some trustworthy people and who else but the spiritually capble of Karakura they had all racked up a good record and relationship with Soul Society on previous turmoil.

The shinigami frowned at the mention of Ichigo having friends in Hueco Mundo ''Your getting into dangerous territory there Kurosaki you know...'' he began. ''You are aware that Soul Society cannot aid you on this one...'' he said. ''Coward!'' Ichigo snapped. ''It doesnt matter what side your on there being killed! i say we unite why cant we im a hollow...but your asking for my help...'' he said. The shinigami widened his eyes a little ''You and your friends have history with Soul Society you are half hollow, Ichigo...those in Hueco Mundo are all hollow...they are still enemies to Soul Society'' he explained. Ichigo looked down a little before he nodded ''Right, right ok...i get it so i wont ask Soul Society for any help on this...'' he said then glanced to Ana and almost smiled a little it was good to know he had some support in this and not totally on his own he'd need his friends if he was honest. He looked suspsicously when she said Orihime would jump to the chance to help but she trailed off he thought for a moment ''Actually i'd rather not put her in the firing line'' he quickly said she'd distract him to no end. ''Ok...we'll go just as part of all this investigation going on...collecting info about this reiatsu'' he said.

It was then that Ana had asked if the shinigami was coming along too he paused and thought before he frowned. ''This is part of your investigation crap you have to come now!'' Ichigo said. ''Let me guess the Soul King will not permit you to get involved with Hueco Mundo'' he added. The shinigami shook his head ''While it is not ideal for me to go on the grounds of Soul Society...i am however given one order and its all i am in the zero division for and thats to protect the Soul King...if this person or group who kidnapped Yamamoto is still around then its a threat to the Soul King...it is my duty to get to the bottom of this and to seek out this threat so ill aid you...as you are willing to aid us'' he said. ''Oh!...'' he began. ''Ukei, thats my name by the way'' he smiled. ''I have a feeling we'll be seeing alot of each other from here on in''

[Shoshi Ana]

A bored expression crossed Ana’s face when the Shinigami said Ichigo was getting into dangerous territory, they’d been there before, they knew what they were doing. Though her expression soon change to anger when he mentioned how Ichigo was half Hollow. “He is not!” she snapped “He just has one living inside him” she added mumbling the last bit to herself. If he was going to be like that then he might as well see Ichigo as an enemy then.

Ana nodded her head, she meant no offence to Orihime at all but as good as her defence powers were Ana still had a fair bit of work on her for her attack work, she even had a plan to see if it’d help Orihime, she just had to finish it. Ichigo’s Hollow believe it or not gave her the idea, hopefully it wouldn’t freak Orihime out too much but if it did all the better it meant she’d believe it more and really wouldn’t hold back. The two girls were always pushing one another in practice lately which is what they needed. “Just so you know though she’s getting better. I’ve been training with her every week… but do me a favour Ichigo… don’t tell her where we are going, she’ll worry too much, they don’t need to know at the moment anyway.” she added eyeing him for a moment; she was being serious as she could only see Orihime’s reaction if they found out where they were going.

Ana knew though when the time came Orihime would step up, she just needed a little more practice, she knew Orihime would not change fully and she didn’t ask her too, she did though ask and expect her to grow a little and have the will power to do what needed to be done when it needed to be done. Everyone had their strengths, attacks was not Orihime’s, she was simply too kind and gentle. So she looked to the Shinigami to see if he was coming or not.

“Finally!” Ana said waving her hands in the air a little, they had this guys name, about bloody time. “Ana” she said bowing a little “But you probably already knew that” she added and glanced to Ichigo. “We will need to do this quickly. I have training with Orihime in a few days, if we are not back by then I’ll have Urahara tell her I’m doing something for Soul Society and fill her in when we get back. The sooner we can get information the sooner we can report it to Soul Society” she stated and glanced back to Ukei and then back to Ichigo “You’re am… friends won’t mind you vanishing for a few days will they?” she said having no idea if Shinji would care or not but didn’t know if Ichigo wanted Soul Society or others for that matter knowing he was training with Shinji, she didn’t see the harm in it but she could never be too careful.
