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.

Chie walked down the street of the shopping district. She needed some food and maybe something to occupy her spare time since stalking the town for any persons of interest. She had knocked down a few hollows in her time here and, luckily, avoided contact with other shinigami.
She stared off into the distance with her thoughts distant. Something was around here. Even in her free time she wasn't really free. A deep sigh escaped Chie's lips and she turned toward the grocery store.
She slowed her pace as she reached out with her senses. Someone was nearby but she couldn't tell who or what it was. With all likelihood it was one of the surprisingly numerous spiritually aware humans in this town. Maybe a shinigami though she thought and she keep her head down. She may be in a gigai but you never knew who might be around.
"You're paranoid Chie" Hime chimed into her thoughts. Hime was correct, Chie was paranoid but that paid off when you were basically supposed to be a spy. She cast her eyes around bu tnothing caught her immediate attention besides a few people in a cafe. She continued on her way but remained wary.

Shinji was sitting on a bench outside of a pastry shop, chowing on a rather large cookie he might have payed for with stolen money. Might have. His legs were fully extended, and crossed at his ankles, one arm splayed out beside him as he bit at the cookie. He saw a girl walk past. Well, he was many girls walk past. He didn't give most a second glance, deciding to spend most of his day enjoying random foodstuffs. But this one was familiar. In the bad way. The way that meant he knew what she was. But, that could also make for a fun day.
Standing, Shinji quickly caught up to her and walked at her pace, staring off and whistling. He was, of course, trying to look innocent, but wanting her to notice he was practically stalking her. He figured with him this close by, not changing course save for when she did, she might catch on eventually.
A few paces and Shinji realized, to his terror, he had left his cookie at the bench. "Damn it all," Shinji muttered under his breath, glaring back behind him at the bench where his cookie was now stranded. "One day I'll eat an entire cookie. The whole thing, by myself. One day..."

Chie was being followed. She noticed the man who had begun to tail her rather quickly though she suspected that he was not really trying. That bothered her more than anything. She turned around a corner into an alley hoping to confront the man.
If she was lucky he would just turn out to be some kind of creep who wanted to rob her. Those types of regular problems she could deal with easily but she had a sneaking suspicion that his man was something more. She felt like she might have seen him before but that was almost impossible.
"Who are you and what do you want" she asked as she pivoted after getting a couple of steps into the alley. She assumed that he was still following of course. This would be rather embarrassing if he had stopped or was really just a figment of her imagination.
"Worry not, he was real" Hime spoke to her. That was calming even if Hime only got to see what she did anyways. She could feel Chini's desire to kill the man who was following them. Her bloodlust was growing every day that she did not get to kill but Chie was still able to hold her in check. For now.

Shinji followed the girl, acting pointedly nonchalantly, following her around the corner. He walked right into a sharply pointed question. He raised his eyebrows and frowned a little. "I'm a guy who knows when he wants ta talk ta someone. An' I'm pretty sure you're the right someone," He winked after speaking, concentrating most of his mind on making absolutely sure he wasn't leaking any of his hollow-twinged reiatsu. He needed to be sure she wasn't some barely-in-control monster, after all. Giving her hollow a scent of his would likely cause one of two extreme reactions, neither actually being good.
He tilted his head, wondering how much she was struggling with her hollow. He assumed quite a bit, as she was probably anxious about being stalked. "So wha's a pretty girl doin' wand'rin round alleys all by'er self?" He asked her, trying to taunt her slightly. "An' how ya dealin' with feelin' like some creep's been followin' ya?"
He grinned still, as he stood there, plunging his hands into his pockets as he spoke to her. It was a good sign that she at least noticed being obviously stalked. That, or it was a bad sign. There was always that slight possibility.

“Being stalked is annoying but nothing I can’t handle” she said with a hand wave. “It’s the persistent ones who irk me” she leveled a grin right back at him. She unconsciously put her right hand down where her zanpakutō would have been if she was not in her Gigai. She looked into his eyes and sensed that this man was not human, there was power here but she couldn’t tell anything more than he was powerful.
“And what about you, you’re not fully human are you?” she asked. If he wanted to play this kind of game she was ready. She had been trained to handle almost any situation as a spy for the second division. But that damn hollow in her made everything so much more complicated.
A grimace crossed her face for a second before she returned the grin again. She wasn’t going to have her hollow do something stupid. She had a cover to hold up after all and going on a murderous rampage isn’t exactly keeping a low profile. This conversation was going to be like a test and Chie Yamanaka always exceeded expectations.

"Well, guess we're both lucky I got a short attention span, yeah?" Shinji joked, noticing her hand moving to a very absent sword. She decided to ask him if he was human, and he contemplated saying a few different things, toying around with a few words, he raised an eyebrow to her. "I'd guess I'm as human as you are, more or less."
He grinned when he said it, keeping his eyes on her. Her facial expression flickered, so he assumed she hadn't subjugated her hollow. It would make sense to assume that, anyways, as he picked up on its presence right away. Now, as for wondering what an unknown Vizard was doing in Karakura, wearing a gigai? Apparently working with Seireitei, perhaps even a member of the guard squads. Oh, those were the days.
Shinji narrowed his eyes and took a step closer. "It's not easy, is it?" He asked, a twinge of seriousness lacing the words, enough to give more of a hint, if she didn't catch the last, but not too much to ruin his chances of turning it into a really bad pick-up line.

Chie narrowed her eyes. “It’s not easy is it?” he had said. Did he know about her hollow? It was possible that, just as she sensed hollow power in Vizards so did he. She did not know the man’s name though it might be important.
“Exactly what is your name?” Chie asked and then followed up with “Do you have a…hollow too?” Perhaps he had sensed the hollow’s attempted takeover. Either way at this point he knew more than he was letting on and she wanted to figure out just how much he knew. This man was a strange mystery that she was going to solve, at least in part.
“Did we meet in Soul Society or something” she asked. Perhaps they had crossed paths before and she didn’t recognize him. Either way she needed to hear his response. If she could find out how much he knew she could work from there. She hated it when she knew nothing.

"I'm Shinji Hirako, an' 'course I do," He grinned, shaking his head. He pulled his mask into the air, and let it disappear immediately. "'Course, mine's a lil more well-behaved than yours is. Ya should have a lil chat with it 'bout that. Dangerous ta get all angry-like. Might attract some attention ya don't want."
He walked a bit to the side, leaning up against the building nearest his left side. She was from Soul Society, hm? Or at least, she had been there. Maybe she was exiled like himself. He knew the best way to ask the question, being someone who liked hearing the truth, he had learned to pretend to assume.
"An' I seriously doubt we met in Soul Society," Shinji said, his grin fading slightly. "Unless ya've been there for quite a long time. Turns out me 'n them didn' agree on a few things. Namely me bein' a monster. So, here I am. Now, tha question is.... What's someone from Soul Society doin' down here. More specifically, a Vizard from Soul Society. Not exactly common, y'know?"
He narrowed his eyes as he spoke, trying to lock his onto hers. He needed to make sure she wasn't lying. Or if she was lying, be more than prepared to lie back. That was just one of Shinji's gifts, after all. He was rather difficult to fool.

“I’m here because they wanted to use me, I declined the offer and was left here” she said. Every great lie held a kernel of truth and, in this case, the shinigami did want to use her. She continued “I have only possessed my hollow for a few years now; she is still…insolent though she cannot steal control from me.” Chini voiced her claim that she could do whatever she damn well pleased. Chie laughed at that claim in a show of power that was about as see through as a fake laugh.
“Maybe we didn’t meet, that said your name sounds like perhaps a former member of my old division though it is irrelevant what we were before we came here I suppose” she said. This man was a Vizard and seemed to have good control of his inner hollow. She wanted that control, to be able to use that hollows power as her own.
“How did you manage to control your hollow; they have such raw power” she asked with genuine curiosity.

"I'm surprised they even made an offer to ya," Shinji said, shrugging. "I got no such luck."
"My old division? I can't even remember that anymore," Shinji rubbed the back of his head. "Was it three? No. No, six. No..." He squinted off, pretending to be focused on thinking it through. A moment or two later, he shrugged, not replying to that end any further.
"My hollow? Well, I didn't do it m'self. The best method, it's, uh, extremely risky," Shinji said, feigning a yawn. "I ain't sure ya could handle it, honestly. Dunno you that well. How long's it been since it jumped out?"
