With the Captains suffering casualties and heavy injuries on their side, all hope seemed to be lost... until Shinji Hirako appeared, along with the rest of the former Shinigami. Though the aid of the Vizards certainly helped to draw the battle in their favor, it seemed Aizen's power alone proved too much for them.

"I prowl about, I nap, and look for pretty things!" Nekoruru announced proudly with a huge smile that almost threatened to circle her entire face, then held the box over her head with her head tilted back which dumped the rest of the box contents into her mouth. Cookies, and crumbs fell into her mouth. She munched them down eagerly, and noisily, and turned her attention to him once more, "And I eat!" she grins happily.
She stood up with the box cradled in an arm, then put it on her hooded head like a hat, tilted to the side, "And I play!" she added with joy.
"Fun stuff, eh?" She hopped from foot to foot with a lil' dance step, and her long arms swayed to and fro like noodles as she went from foot to foot energetically.
Of course she thought nothing of her life of leisure, and had no desire to showcase her powers, "This place is fun to explore. Many pretty stuffs!" she said with some glee, likely riding a sugar rush.
Apparently she had little desire to showcase her powers, if she even had any. She certainly felt powerful, but she had apparent desire for using it.
"You seen anything cool 'round here?" She wondered as she swayed from side to side with her arms dangling like clock pendulums, and she had that happy smile plastered on her mouth.
As the woman listed her activities it became decidedly clear that she was quite simple. Given that most people were quite complicated with 'motives' and hidden agendas, he didn't know whether to find her simplicity frustrating or refreshing. Then again, it could always be an act of obfuscating stupidity.
"No, I'm afraid I havent seen anything 'cool' around here. Certainly nothing I'd imagine you'd be interested in, comes to mind...", answered honestly. If she was feigning her childishness, she could be trying to gather information. Nothing immediately sinister about that, and it offset the threat level presented by her strong spiritual pressure. Just what was she? "I can say that this place, Karakura town has more spiritual beings like you and I than any other place on Earth. What other placeshave you been?"
"Tell me...", he asked, returning to one of her earlier statements. " When you 'play' -do you play with anyone else? Any particular games? "

"Yeah, this place feels different. Lotsa energy!" she broke down his observation further.
"I dunno where else 've been... 've been kinda lost... But me'n my shinigami friend used ta play in a biiig flowery place! So nice to roll around in, and run around!" she nodded.
"There's a place with lotsa tree's n'sutff," she pointed at what might be a random direction, but in the big picture, she pointed towards the bulk of the forest near Karakura Town, "I've been there! And here!" she said with a big smile, "Both places are fun!"
"I dun really play with anyone else. Too hard to find people that wanna nap when I wanna," she frowned a bit as her swaying slowed, "I like prowling for pretties though! Sometimes mean hole people are in the way, chasing them already though. I whomp'em! Kinda fun! Then I help the boobie ladies they chase!" she started to dance a bit, turning as she stepped, and waved her arms in the air. "They're usually nice after I save'em. Makes me feel good, nyaaann!" "Sometimes I play tag with some shinigami, though they seem more angry than playful," she frowned, "They dun like being slow!" She laughed happily, then stopped dancing joyously. "They're more fun than a lot of people like you. Most like to smash, and kill. You like to fix stuff though! That's cool." she settled down, and sat again, "And you dun go beating up people for no good reason," she nodded her approval, then paused... "Right?" she tilted her head wanting to be sure she wasn't wrong.
"Yeah, this place feels different. Lotsa energy!" she broke down his observation further.
"I would imagine so...", he concured, "This place, Karakura-chou is a Juureichi, the point of greatest energy in the world. That place changes every 1000 years, or so I've heard. I wouldn't know personally, because I'm not that old."
"I dunno where else 've been... 've been kinda lost... But me'n my shinigami friend used ta play in a biiig flowery place! So nice to roll around in, and run around!" she nodded.
Seimenk thought for a moment, trying to imagine what she was describing. "I've never cared much for flowers, to be honest. Albeit, I must admit, they do smell nice. Women seem to be especially fond of them for some reason or another. I like colored stones better, and not just the rare ones. They can be become quite shiny if you polish them well. In Hueco Mundo, the only common stone is quartz, so when I find suitable specimens in the human world, I bring them back home for my collection. I like colored stones more than flowers, when you live for hundreds of years you appreciate them more because they'll last as long as you do. "
"There's a place with lotsa tree's n'sutff," she pointed at what might be a random direction, but in the big picture, she pointed towards the bulk of the forest near Karakura Town, "I've been there! And here!" she said with a big smile, "Both places are fun!"
"I see.", he stated simply. Was that really it? Was that all? He didn't know how old she was, or how long she'd been sapient. Nonetheless, he didn't comment on her lack of experience, not wanting to belittle her 'adventures'"
"I dun really play with anyone else. Too hard to find people that wanna nap when I wanna," she frowned a bit as her swaying slowed, "I like prowling for pretties though! Sometimes mean hole people are in the way, chasing them already though. I whomp'em! Kinda fun! Then I help the boobie ladies they chase!" she started to dance a bit, turning as she stepped, and waved her arms in the air. "They're usually nice after I save'em. Makes me feel good, nyaaann!"
"What do you mean 'prowling for pretties'?", he inqiured, "Do you mean looking for shiny things? And what do you mean by 'boobie ladies', what kind of people are they? Can all the 'boobie ladies' see you?" He wondered just what sort of people she was talking about, her description sounded rather odd.
"Sometimes I play tag with some shinigami, though they seem more angry than playful," she frowned, "They dun like being slow!" She laughed happily, then stopped dancing joyously.
Seimenk smirked at this. Seeing she was simple as she was, he wondered whether the shinigami she met knew she was playing a 'game', or whether she knew the shinigami weren't.
"They're more fun than a lot of people like you. Most like to smash, and kill. You like to fix stuff though! That's cool." she settled down, and sat again, "And you dun go beating up people for no good reason," she nodded her approval, then paused... "Right?" she tilted her head wanting to be sure she wasn't wrong.
"But of course not.", he said matter of factly, smiling a little. In the back of his mind though, he was thinking of the Shinigami woman he'd met at the construction site, partnered with Ryu Mazumagi. He had done more than 'beaten' her up, he'd dumped her into a hole and impaled her with stone pikes. Of course, that all happened litereally within all of fifteen seconds and was a counter attack to a slash from her bankai. He didn't know whether she went on to survive that, but at least he didn't leave her in the hole. Furthermore it wasn't as if he started a fight at all, he spoke at lenght considerably before the shinigami pair resorted to attacking him. In her own words, even if they had no quarrel with him, they called it their job to kill all arrancar. She had said that if he were smart he would leave, but oddly, in the same breath said that he wouldn't be leaving alive. Before he left, seeing as she had no squad badge, he'd took here flower shaped hair ornament. It was still there, sitting in his coat pocket. Did he do the right thing?

Nekoruru stared at him as he explained what Karakura town was... Big words... long times... buuhhh... She didn't seem to grasp any of it, "I'm not that old either!... I think," she rubbed her head again, "I'm pretty sure..."
She just brushed it off like it was nothing. Apparently she had gotten used to not knowing judging by her change of mood.
"Shinys are nice!" She clapped her large paws together as she nodded in agreement with him, "I like Shiny. Shiny and Flowers? WOW!" she said with great enthusiasm.
"Pretty anything," she nodded, "Stonies, or flowers, or shiny. Something pretty," she said with a smile, "I like collecting them sometimes. Hard to get some of them, though, coz people can get mad," she said.
"Boobies!" she patted her own boobs, "Boobie ladies have big boobies!" she nodded, "Boobies are fun!" she said with a huge grin as she no doubt imagined them. "Some boobies ladies see me, some don't. I don't mind. I like looking, though," she nodded, then sprung to her feet and danced happily at the notion of boobies with her arms wriggling like cooked spaghetti.
"'z pretty cool. I like meeting people that don't smash stuff, and break stuff. Happy people are more fun than unhappy people!" she stopped dancing, then nodded eagerly which helped punctuate her statement.
I'm not that old either!... I think, I'm pretty sure...
"How old do you think you are? I'm about 250 years old. Its not as if I actually bother celebrating a birthday every year or anything though, but I have a fairly good idea."
Shinys are nice! I like Shiny. Shiny and Flowers? WOW!
Pretty anything, she nodded, Stonies, or flowers, or shiny anything. I like collecting them sometimes. Hard to get some of them, though, coz people can get mad
"Its good to have hobbies", he commented.
So...she's thief? Well, its not as though I'm much better.
Boobies! Boobie ladies have big boobies! Boobies are fun! Some boobies ladies see me, some don't. I don't mind. I like looking, though.
"So do I...", he smirked, "Yeah, they are fun."
Sounds like she's got a perverted streak in her, its quite rare for a man and a woman to agree on 'boobies'. And she called me a pervert for asking to see if she had a Hollow Hole? It wasn't as if I asked her to actually strip naked or anything. She goes around oggling women while she hides in plain sight. Although I must admit, just watching these humans live their lives...maybe theres a bit of a voyeur in me too? The shinigami also. Although with gigai, they can actually be participants in human society.
'z pretty cool. I like meeting people that don't smash stuff, and break stuff. Happy people are more fun than unhappy people!
"You mentioned you liked shiny 'stonies'? And flowers too?", he asked.
Digging in a pocket, he produced a handfull of colored stones which he cast onto the floor like handfull of seed. There were blues, greens, reds, oranges, and yellows some of them pure others of mixed contrasting colors. Their already irregular forms suddenly became amorphous, and they wobbled about like blobs of paint before morphing into marble sized flowers and what were recognizeable as little cats, ableit they were lacking in detail. With some effort he was able to make the little cats actually dance rather than just levitate, making them move by constantly changing their shape.
"How about things that are 'stonies', 'flowers', kitties', and shiny all at the same time?"

"Nyuh... ..." she raised her paw, and looked at it her other paw moved to point at it as if she were counting digits, "One..." she pointed again, then realized she had no digits to count... "Buahhh.... I dunno..." she dropped her arms, then grinned at Wordy Man, "Do I look old, or wha?"
Her smile increased as she heard that he liked boobies, too, "I like BIG ones!" She threw her arms into the air,"So soft'n mushy! And smooth!" she nodded rapidly as her arms dropped to her sides. "... Mine are kinda big! Not tat big tho..." she grumped.
Her head tilted as he tossed out the stone blobbies, "He-ke?" she sounded a questioning double syllable noise, then dropped to all fours, and stalked the odd floating blobs... and lunged at them, "RAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!" she caught one in her mouth, "Candy!" she said as she tried to chew on the one in her mouth..."... Not candy?" she chewed more as if to confirm it or herself more than anything.
"All at once is kinda weird, tho... Especially stonies, flowers, kittehs, and candy," she still didn't spit out the one in her mouth.
"Its rather hard to tell just by looking, unless the person is human. But I doubt you are very old. If you were human, I'd say you'd be at least...16-17-18 years old? Albeit, you act much younger...."
I like BIG ones! So soft'n mushy! And smooth! Mine are kinda big! Not tat big tho...
"Hrmm...", he thought seriosuly for a moment"You should visit the beach around here, you're certain to find some there. They'll probably have a lot less covering them. And those can be shiny too if they're covered in water or tanning oil.", he said, trying to be helpful.
He-ke? RAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!! Candy!... Not candy?" she chewed more as if to confirm it or herself more than anything. All at once is kinda weird, tho... Especially stonies, flowers, kittehs, and candy she still didn't spit out the one in her mouth.
"He he, sorry", he apologized " But I'm afraid those rocks probably dont taste very good, do they? Go ahead and keep them anyway, if you want, they're yours.", he offered.
"What kind of candy do you like? I dont indulge in such things very often, but I must admit I'm partion to the ones that have peanutbutter and chocolate together. I also like pineapple things too."

"'m not human," she said in a fast, matter of fact manner, "I'm Nekoruru," she said as if to correct him, and punctuated it with several nods, and a big smile. It wasn't malicious, or anything, and seemed to only reinforce her, well, stupidity.
"Beach?" she tilted her head, "Whazzat? Wherezzat?" she asked eagerly as she hopped a bit more, with all the curiosity in the world directed at that subject, and a smile that nearly touched her eyes at the corners.
She decided at this point that the stone in her mouth, even though it looked like candy wasn't, and it annoyed her as it rattled around in her mouth, and teeth. She stuck out a 2ft long tongue with the stone on it, and let it fall to the floor before the tongue retracted back into her mouth,
And then he posed a question that interested her greatly. She plopped down once more, and took up that stereotypical thinking pose... "I'unno... Haven't found candy I didn't like..." she said in thought, though one had to question just how much thought she put into it. "That stuff sounds good, I think, I dunno what it is tho," she chuckled, and wore a big smile despite an admission of ignorance.
"'m not human," she said in a fast, matter of fact manner, "I'm Nekoruru,"
"Nekoruru is not WHAT you are, it is WHO you are -there is a difference. Think you of the fact that you are female and so are the 'boobie ladies'. But you are Nekoruru and they are not. I am male. and so is a person I met, Joe. But Joe is human, and I am Arrancar. I know who you are, you are Nekoruru. However, If asked WHAT you are I can say you are a person and that you are a female. A lot of things are people and female, but only you are Nekoruru. But...I do not know everything you are. I cant seem you find an appropriate group for you, like Arrancar, Human, or Shinigami. Arrancar, Humans, and Shinigami look similar, but they all age differently. If I were human most humans would say I was 20 to 25 years old. Shinigami might say I was between 200 and 250 years old, which is corect. However, even 800 years from now, I wont look any different from the way I do now because of my nature. Shinigami have limited lifespans that can be as long as 2000 years. Humans, lifespans of as long as 100 years. No one knows if there any limits to how old Arrancar or Hollows can become. It doesn't appear that they age at all.*", he explained.
"Beach?" she tilted her head, "Whazzat? Wherezzat?" she asked eagerly as she hopped a bit more, with all the curiosity in the world directed at that subject, and a smile that nearly touched her eyes at the corners.
He tried to think of the simplest way to explain it. "A beach is a place with a lot of sand near water. Humans go there to have fun, and swim in the water. They usually wear a lot less clothing at the beach, especially women. People eat Icecream and frozen things, like Kori**." Theres one in this town, but I guess you havent been there yet."
She decided at this point that the stone in her mouth, even though it looked like candy wasn't, and it annoyed her as it rattled around in her mouth, and teeth. She stuck out a 2ft long tongue with the stone on it, and let it fall to the floor before the tongue retracted back into her mouth
Thats a rather long tongue, what could be the use in that? Thats feature seems very hollow like in morphology. Perhaps, she's an incomplete Arrancar? That sounds like a reasonable hypothesis.
And then he posed a question that interested her greatly. She plopped down once more, and took up that stereotypical thinking pose... "I'unno... Haven't found candy I didn't like..." she said in thought, though one had to question just how much thought she put into it.
"That stuff sounds good, I think, I dunno what it is tho," she chuckled, and wore a big smile despite an admission of ignorance.
"Maybe the next time I see you, I can bring you some...would you like that?"
[* We know for a fact Shinigami die and reincarnate. we know Shinigami age because people who die as children or are born in the SS appear to grow up, and because there are very old people like Yammamoto (albeit, he couldhave died old) I dont think Hollows can die of old age, and consuming souls probably extends their lifespan. Albeit, if they dont eat they may eventually age and die -which would explain how Barrigan was able to be aged into nothing by his own power. Or it could have just been that like he (and Hachi ) said, his power had dominon over everything. ]
