New in Town

"well when i woke up in the mental hospital i had to do battle inside myself with this thing. It looked like me just different i cant really explain it. I can only thank the years of hunting in the jungle for my win. well that Hayai he helped a lot pretty much saved my life." Rurou says thikning

"about five times now if you ask me" Hayai chimes in "and i thanked you each time." Rurou replies. Rurou takes a deep breath thinking back trying to remember as much as she can.

"the night father died is hazy at best. All i can tell you is i won the fight and i got a mask. Hayai hates my mask tho. other than that the rest is pretty normal" Rurou says

[demiryu]

As she explains he story Ryu nods. The mask part catches his attention. If she had a mask, it could mean either one of those things. A hollow hole would mean she is an Arrancar... but he can't ask to see her to make sure she doesn't have one... he's gonna have to be sneakier.

"A mask... tell me... Is the mask on you now? Or can you materialize it? Also... and this may sound strange. You know the holes that Hollows have? Do you also have one somewhere on your body?" Ryu asks. This may be more difficult than he thought. He needs to figure out whether she is a Vizard or Arrancar. Maybe Kisuke will know how to help her...

"Damn... I txted him with my Spirit Pager, why won't he answer" Ryu thinks.

[femfatal]

Rurou looks at the Ryu oddly as she thinks over his questions. "yes i do have a mask. I can materialize it as far as i can tell. I do not have any extra holes on my body besides the normal ones tho." Rurou says giving him a odd glance

Rurou holds her hand out in front of her face looking into her palm. She concentrates trying to summon her mask to her. When it materializes she holds the mask up for Ryu to see.

Rurou Hollow mask is fairly simple its solid white and made to look like a masquerade mask that stops just under her nose otherwise the mask covers her head like a helmet. Two horns come out of the back of the mask and circle the top of her head to give the illusion of a halo.

She quickly sends the mask away as Shoukou begins her ranting again. "Shoukou really does not like you and i seem to be pissing her off as well."
Rurou takes a moment to silence the voices in her mind before sending her mask back to wherever it comes from.

[demiryu]

Ryu watches Rurou intently reading into everything she says. As she materializes her mask Ryu inspects it. He had never seen a Hollow mask materialize like this. If she was able to do this and didn't have a Hollow hole, she much be a Vizard. But how? She had never been a Shinigami, and therefore had never had the chance to try and acquire Hollow powers. As he listens to what Rurou says about Shoukou Ryu becomes intrigued.

"Who is Shoukou? Thats a different name from the one you used for your Zanpakuto's spirit." Ryu questions.

"If she is a Vizard, it's more than likely her inner Hollow" Kaminari states.

"Inner Hollow?" Ryu questions to him.

"All Vizards have them, they are like Zanpakuto Spirits... sorta" Kaminari says to him.

Ryu walks toward the edge of the building and pulls out his Soul Pager, looking at it to see if he had any messages from Kisuke. Nothing... so far. Ryu turns back to Rurou.

"Do me a favor, ask your Zanpakuto's spirit what it's Shikai release phrase is. I want to know if it has a scattered memory like your own." Ryu asks. He needs to know more about her Zanpakuto.

[femfatal]

"i dont know who or what Shoukou is i just no Hayai hates her and i think Shoukou hates me as well." Rurou sighs heavily. "show him your blades child." Hayai whispers in her mind. Rurou closes her eyes "i am not gonna attack you but i think this is what you mean by shikai Aid me in my hunt Hayai Ryoushi"

The appearance of the shikai is simple as well. the one katana blade becomes 2 double bladed serrated edged bastard swords. The hilt is a royal guards hilt that covers your entire hand leaving your wrist exposed for easy movement. The flats of the blades have designs on them one is of a male wolf the other is a female wolf

Rurou stands holding a blade in each hand looking at Ryu "hayai has taught me this much and i learned of my mask when i was fighting a very strong hollow one day. and Hayai knows more than he is telling me he keeps saying i am not ready yet and i need to get stronger.
"

[demiryu]

Ryu observes this transformation closely. This was obviously a Shikai, the Spirit of her Zanpakuto knew what he was talking about. This other voice though, this is what worried him. Ryu could tell she was confused, as was he. Perhaps his Captain would have more info than he. But it was illegal to bring a Human back to Soul Society.

"Wait, thats it. If she isn't human, then he can bring her back and Hitsugaya will be able to help him out." Ryu thinks to himself. "no, thats not a good idea. Only Kisuke should know about this, if I bring back a Vizard to Soul Society I could be arrested" Ryu thinks to himself. If he couldn't go back to Soul Society with her, Hitsugaya would just have to come to them.

Pulling out his Soul pager Ryu quickly scrolls to Hitsugaya's name and begins to type a message.

"Come to the Human World quickly. Sector 16: I have someone... interesting for you to meet. Ryu"

"The form your Zanpakuto took is definitely a Shikai... which means you are at least half Soul Reaper." Ryu states. "I need to take you to someone, they might be able to help" He says to her, trying his best to smile gently, to not scare her off.

Suddenly, a roar is heard in the distance. It is clearly the roar of a hollow.

"No... a Hollow must have sensed your Reiatsu when you released your Shikai." Ryu says to her. "Stay here, I will deal with it" He tells her. Large footsteps can be heard approaching their destination.

The building shakes and another roar is heard. From the grounds leaps a large being in the shape of a frog. On it's nose is a large white mask striped with black. It roars again.

"What tasty souls I smell... yes... a Shinigami just for me" It announces. Ryu reaches for his Zanpakuto readying it for Shikai, when...

[matt]

Hitsugaya was in the real would on a mission for the commander when he feels his pager go of, only time this ever goes off is when there is trouble with that he looks at it and it reads “Come to the Human World quickly. Sector 16: I have someone... interesting for you to meet Ryu with that Hitsugaya changes his path to head to were the pager was telling him to go, as he gets closer he feels a strange reisatsu that he never felt before with that he speeds his pace up an till he arrives to where it is coming from.

As he comes to a stop he can see hollow attacking a young girl and one of his seated members, with that he flash steps above the hollow and fires pure bolt of ice at the hollow from his Zanpakutō, freezing it in its tracks before bringing is blade down and slicing the hollow in to pieces he then looks up and says, “ So Where is this person you want me to meet and why did a hollow attack here

[demiryu]

As Ryu prepares to draw his sword he notices Hitsugaya's reiatsu above the monstrous being. Smiling to himself he removes his hand from his blade.

"What? Don't feel like playing? Well, that makes it all the easier for me" The hollow says in a mocking tone. Ryu simply smiles.

"I don't feel like fighting, but him... he might be a different story" Ryu states, pointing above the creature. Looking upward the hollow notices Hitsugaya, who the proceeds to kill it in a memorable fashion.

As his Captain lands in front of him Ryu begins to speak. "I'm glad you received my page. This is the young woman I was telling you about" Ryu directs Hitsugaya toward Rurou. "She killed a hollow earlier, and I think it was attracted by her Shikai release" Ryu tries to explain to him.

Pulling his Captain aside Ryu begins to speak with him quietly. "Be careful how you word your questions. She's a little... confused... and isn't exactly sure how she came into ownership of a Zanpakuto. Also, her Blade's Spirit isn't the only thing speaking to her. I think she has an Inner Hollow." Ryu states.

[femfatal]

Rurou stands listening and watching Ryu mulling over his words as she does "at least half soul reaper." She keeps repeating in her head. Rurou snaps to attention when she hers the hollows cry. Her eyes darting to where she can feel its presence. Rurous hands tighten around her blade a grin comes over her face. " Ah the hunt is on child let us go ease its pain!" Hayai groans in his twisted voice. Rurou can barley hear the words Ryu is saying, something about the hollow sensed her Shikai. Rurou doesn't hear much of his words due to her mind and body racing with anticipation of battle until Ryu says "Stay here, I will deal with it". Rurou's eyes dart to Ryus as she opens her mouth to reply when she sees the hollow land, Rurou focuses on her target determined to show Ryu who will handle what.

The hollow speaks something about a tasty Shinigami. She doesn't even notice the other reitsu getting closer by the second, she doesn't hear Ryu taunt the hollow, she doesn't even hear Hayai telling her how she should attack or that another Shinigami is close. When Rurou feels her muscles snap since she is already in shikai her biceps twitch and she launches her blade in her right hand towards the hollow. Ruruo uses her shunpo to move behind the hollow, almost fast enough to mimic flash step.

Rurou is about to strike her timing precise as always, her two attacks timed to hit at the same time. When a bright flash and a shard of ice shoots into the hollow. a young man then lands and attacks the hollow killing it with ease. leaving nothing for her blades to dig into. Rurous face contorts with mixed emotions, her hand snaps out reaching in front of her catching her thrown blade before it slices her or the persons who apparently came to help.

Rurou lets her shikai fade her Zonpakuto returning to its sealed form. Rurou stands motion less as a battle rages within her. "how could you let him take your kill. I told you he was there why don't you ever listen! you must focus in battle don't let combat cloud your mind! " Hayai yells scolding her in her head. "you are so weak and pitiful i cant believe that just happened. I got all excited for nothing...you just let that little shrimp take your kill well i don't think me or Hayai would stand for that." Shoukou spews into Ruruous mind. "hollow i swear on everything that is right in the word you speak my name an.." Hayai gets cut off by Rurou "both of you quiet down i don't have time for this bickering i have no problem hunting in a pack. " Hayai and Shoukou both reel in disgust, getting even louder curseing Rurou's weakness and inability to act blaming her for missing the kill.

Rurou drops to one knee grabbing her head. sweat drips from her forehead as her knees shake. Even Rurou's dark skin turns a reddish tent as she battles the voices in her head. "I SAID SHUT UP BOTH OF YOU!!." Rurou finally screams her voice caring far into the distance. She stands up slowly wiping sweat from her face before digging her hands in her pockets and forcing a smile. She completely missing Ryu and Hitsugaya's conversation."

[matt]

Hitsugaya lets his seated officer pull him to one he then begins to whisper to Hitsugaya, saying “"Be careful how you word your questions. She's a little... confused... and isn't exactly sure how she came into ownership of a Zanpakuto. Also, her Blade's Spirit isn't the only thing speaking to her.

I think she has an Inner Hollow, Hitsugaya then says “Indeed you did good reporting this to me I see this is a rather odd event, but all we can do is try to find out, with that Hitsugaya turns to the girl and says to her

“So tell me young one I can see your fighting with inner demons, im guessing they came with that Zanpakuto you have how did you get it and why, as the two are speaking Hitsugaya pauses for a moment, and then falls to one knee and stays there, “ Dam it this has never happened before”
