“What you see is what you get.” This seems to be the motto of the human race in the modern day. People believe that they exist in a simple world where all the unknowns have been discovered and that life is merely something to be conquered with work, family and death. However, this is a belief that hinders the true sight of the earthen realm.
Karakura Town, is a prime example of the truth. Most humans who live here are normal, everyday people who do go to work, exist with family and know that the end of the road lies with a simple death. Yet, there are a few exceptions to this “blind sight.” Some of the humans – primarily the youth- have slowly begun to realize that the earth is not all that it seems. Strange occurrences have happened- unexplained explosions, mysterious movement, blurred figures that almost are catchable by the eye. Soon they will see the truth… and find themselves falling into another world that is nothing they could prepare themselves for.
Shinigami and Hollows. For ages they have been in a struggle, battling each other for centuries to maintain the balance of the world. Shinigami live in what humans call, “Heaven” or more importantly, Soul Society. In Soul Society, it is extremely difficult for a normal soul to be chosen to become a Shinigami. However, once chosen the Shinigami train to become accepted into one of the 13 squads. All 13 work together (some with few conflicts), led by Captains and their Lieutenants, to primarily go out to the Earthen realm to destroy Hollows and perform Soul Burials to bring reluctant or lost souls to Soul Society. This is the way things have been for centuries.
Hollows however live in Hueco Mundo and serve as the antagonists to the Shinigami. They create black rifts to enter the Earthen realm and feed on lost souls upon the Earth. They are formed when a soul dies and is in despair or remains upon Earth too long. Hollows have many ranks and secrets as well, matching the Shinigami. Yet… not even Soul Society or Hollows could comprehend the future events that will dramatically change their world as well the entirety of Heaven and Hueco Mundo.
And the worlds of humans, Shinigami, and Hollows will collide. With a select few humans with growing spiritual energy, a few dutiful (or not so dutiful) Shinigami, and some rogue Hollows… everything will be spun into motion. When nighttime starts to rise while the sun does fall… just before twilight…

CHARACTER GUIDE
HUMANS
Humans with high spiritual energy usually develop their powers over time. They either are born with high spiritual energy or gain it by being around someone who already has an amazing amount of spiritual energy. Having a lot of spiritual energy allows a human to see Shinigami, Hollows and supernatural things. Some (very rare) humans gain unique powers due to their spiritual energies. These powers are usually discovered when put under a stressful and life-threatening situation. Humans in the RPG will play a vital role and are needed.
MAX AMOUNT: 4 Humans
SPECIAL: QUINCY
The Quincy were a clan of special spiritual-aware humans who fought hollows long ago using bows made up of spiritual energy. Quincy use the spiritual energy from their surroundings and absorb and channel it to fight. They are presumed extinct however, due to a Shinigami campaign that led to the extermination of the clan 200 years ago. While Shinigami release Hollow souls when destroying them which allows them to enter Soul Society, the Quincy clan destroyed the Hollow soul entirely. 200 years ago the Quincy clan was so proficient at it that they were upsetting the balance of souls and thus it led to their extermination.
MAX AMOUNT: 2
SHINIGAMI
Shinigami are souls selected in Soul Society to become Soul Reapers. The Elite Shinigami serve in the 13 Divisions. Some divisions have a specialty, but all Shinigami have Zanpakuto, supernatural swords, that they use to channel their own energy for fighting. Each Zanpakuto has a name (the sword has its own separate identity, so a Shinigami does not give it a name but rather learns it from the sword itself) and is unique. Shinigami also know the art of Kido, which is a form of magic to fight. Shinigami can have specific and special duties, but they are primarily known for defeating hollows and releasing their souls, as well as leading other souls (pluses) to Soul Society by performing a Soul Burial.
NOTABLE SHINIGAMI SQUADS:
2nd Division - Intelligence Gathering/Internal Defense
4th Division – Medical/Supply Division (They be healers)
5th Division - Demon Arts Specialists (They're good with swords too)
9th Division - Recon Division
11th Division – Combat Division (special in swordsman ship)
12th Division- Research/Scientific Division
Shinigami Ranks: Captain, Lieutenant, 3rd Command, 4th etc… (For each squad).
* YOU CAN BE A MADE-UP SHINIGAMI OR YOU CAN PLAY AN ALREADY MADE SHINIGAMI FROM BLEACH. IF YOU WISH TO BE A MADE UP CAPTAIN, YOU MAY PLAY AS A CAPTAIN BUT CAPTIANS/LIEUTENANTS NOT TAKEN WILL BE PLAYED AS THE NPCs ALREADY CREATED IN BLEACH.
MAX AMOUNT OF, CAPTAINS: 3, LIEUTENANT: 5, OTHER: INFINITE
HOLLOWS
Spirits that have unfinished business and stay on Earth for too long often turn into Hollows. Other spirits become filled with such despair or negative feelings that they turn into Hollows from this. Once they turn into Hollows, they often travel to the Earthen realm to eat lost souls. Depending on the soul that was turned into a Hollow, different Hollows have various intelligence- some being mindless while others are vastly intelligent and have greater power. Hollows do not have a ranking order, but can/do follow commands from a sub group of Hollows, called Menos. Menos are formed when a bunch of Hollows merging together to create another entity. Their power is far superior to that of a regular Hollow and they give Shinigami a harder time to the point that only specially trained Shinigami are sent to deal with a Menos.
CLASSES of MENOS:
GILLIAN CLASS – Weaker than a Shinigami lieutenant, they are the lowest of the Menos. They all look the same- giant black cloaked-looking Hollows with the same round white faces. They are still powerful in comparison to regular Hollows.
ADJUCHAS CLASS – The Medium class of Menos. They could fight evenly with a lieutenant. Adjuchas class Menos look humanoid, but are obviously not human. Usually they are wide and bulky but are fairly intelligent. They can watch over Gillian class Menos. There are not many Adjuchas menos.
VASTO LORDE CLASS – Most powerful form of Menos. They appear mostly humanoid and are more powerful than an average Shinigami Captain. They are extremely powerful and tend to reside deep in Hueco Mundo.
MAX AMOUNT OF, VASTO LORDE MENOS: 2, ADJUCHAS: 3, GILLIAN: 0, HOLLOW: INFINITE
* Some of you may be familiar with the Arrancar class or the Vizard. If you wish to play them, you may but I expect that you know the specifics of what they are. Keep in mind that since they are so powerful, you must keep your character in check and they will play a mentor role in the beginning more than anything. Their max amount is negotiable.
**************

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Name: Yamashita, Kumiko
Gender: Female
Age: Appears to be mid-twenties
Appearance: Kumiko wears the traditional black Shinigami uniform. Her one quirk in her uniform is that she wears the sash around her waist so that the ribbon-like tie is to the side, upon her hip. She stands at a medium height for a female shinigami, being around 5’7. Like the common theme in bleach, she has a sizable bust but her bust is slightly smaller than Orihime’s. Kumiko has interesting hair coloring- for it isn’t a solid color, but a mixture of streaks of blonde, light brown, light auburn and strawberry blonde. When let down, her hair reaches down slightly above her waist and is extremely straight with only a slight wave. However, she usually wears it up into a half-ponytail so that half of it is tucked under while the top layer hangs downwards. Kumiko’s eyes are a rich royal blue in color with a few small flecks of sea green blue ebbed into them. They’re generally very feminine and large, usually giving away her mood.
Personality: Kumiko is generally extremely cheerful, but not in a bubbly way. She always has a smile upon her face but it usually is her eyes that are the dead give away to her mood. While she respects her Captain dearly and is loyal to him, she does tend to have a wild streak at times and goes by the motto of her own ‘instincts’. She often takes on a commanding role however, due to Ukitake’s sickness and oversees a lot of the training in Division 13. She is down-to-earth and good natured, but when she battles she shifts her mood to be a bit of a calculating and battle-happy opponent. (She was almost recruited for Division 11, but her lack of complete lust allured her to Ukitake instead.)
Rank: Lieutenant of Division 13
Powers: Kumiko is known for her relationship with her Zanpakuto and her skill. While she isn’t the fastest, strongest and doesn’t have notably massive amounts of spiritual energy like the captains… she makes up for it in reaction times, finesse and her bond. She is one of the few who can Bankai, not due to her spiritual strength but because of her natural inclination of attachment to her Zanpakuto (and it’s mutual attachment.) This is a surprise to many, due to the fact that most need a great amount of training before being able to control their bankai effectively. She rarely uses her bankai however, but rather enjoys fighting with her shikai due to the difficulty. She is dangerous in battle due to the fact that her skill to wield her weapon often catches enemies offguard- for she turns her disadvantages to advantages with a simple flick of her sword.
Zanpakuto: His name is Kanlong.
Kanlong’s shikai is a medium-lengthed sword. However, the handle of the sword is built into the blade but has several wrappings and a round handle shape so not to damage. The tricky thing, is that around the top of the handle curves two deadly knife-like ends that point slightly inward, making it very difficult to wield if you are not highly accustomed to the sword. On the opposite end of the handle is just one knife-like jutting edge, which points outwards. However, about three quarters upwards from the sword are four prong-like end that come out and then jut upwards. (Think of a cubed trident with four prongs in the shape of half a box.) This makes plunging the sword into the enemy extremely painful, especially if the four prongs enter as well. At the end of her Shikai, is a long but thin chain. At the very end of this chain, is a red feather-like decoration which infact can turn into a small blade. The chain also lengthens or shortens.
Kanlong in Bankai form is a bit more complicated. When activating Bankai, Kumiko’s outfit adorns a black shinigami-esque dress that cuts off at the thighs and is sleeveless, rimmed in white. Around her right arm is a golden & black tattoo of a dragon tail, that extends down towards her hand. From her hand is a small chain, but from the chain is a glowing and viberant gold ‘whip’ like weapon. However, the whip glows with a crackling energy that isn’t fire but similar with its burning glow. The whip can extend to great distances. Attached to Kumiko’s back are metallic wings, made into a similar shape of Kanlong in Shikai form as feather-like devices. However, the wings do not allow Kumiko to fly but mainly serve a last minute shield. The most impressive and effect part of the Bankai however, Kanlong reveals himself in a more deadly form. A Chinese red dragon wraps its long body in a circle so that you do not see its tail at all (and some question if it really is there or if it is just the front half of the body since the whip represent’s Kanlong’s tail). However, Kanlong’s head and front limbs are clearly visible although his body does not move from his spot but only his long slender neck and head. Kanlong’s scales gleam in a metallic fashion, rippling of red and he seems to always have a rather cruel smile upon his face. What he can do is a secret! MWHA!
Kanlong’s true form (visible form) is a large Chinese dragon, however he has no element but seems to use pure spiritual energy.
History: Kumiko became a Shinigami much like most Shinigami in Soul Society, for she was selected due to her spiritual energy. During training, she was not viewed as very impressive by her peers at first since she showed no great strengths. However, Kumiko was bright and did well in classes. Training continued, and suddenly Kumiko swiftly rose in ability in her training. Her peers could not figure it out, but her mentors saw that with her bright mind she had huge potential in the way she used her Zanpakuto and the skill she demonstrated in combat. Not only did she have instincts but she could calculate to alter her main battle style to exploit the weaknesses of her opponents. She then was admitted into Soul Society under Team 13. Her power continued to grow as many noticed that her bond between her Zanpakuto grew unnaturally fast. It wasn’t long before Kumiko was well known and sometimes sought out for advice on growing bonds between themselves and their swords. When Shiba passed away, Kumiko was recruited as the Lieutenant although Kumiko feels inadequate when in comparision to him and despite what others tell her, she worries about it inwardly.
Relations: None yet, I’d like to wait to see what others do when they sign up. I’d love to accept relations though!! ^_^
Other: BLAH!!
Yamashita Kumiko
.: F | Shinigami | Lt. 13th Division :.
Kumiko swung her Zanpakuto in the air, twirling her body around as if she were dancing. Her eyes were closed as she focused upon the area around her, making several movements as if she were half-fighting and half-dancing. The air was fresh and clear out side of the Division 13 headquarters. Every morning Kumiko practiced her regular finesse routine. Opening her eyes, Kumiko gave out a slight cry as she cleanly sliced through the air- cutting a few of the leaves that fell from the tree. She drew back and prepared to slice the leaves in a different way, however a voice caused her to gracefully turn her swing into a motion to sheath her Zanpakuto.
“Ah, I’m sorry to bother you Kumiko-san.” Captain Ukitake spoke softly, sitting down upon the wooden steps. “I was hoping to speak with you.”
“Of course Ukitake-sempai.” Kumiko said, gracefully walking towards his side and sitting down.
Ukitake was silent for a while, taking his time as he felt the cool breeze blow against his face. A smile spread across his face, before he turned his gentle eyes towards her.
“ How are you doing? I know that with my absences you’ve been working hard and aiding in leading in my stead.”
Kumiko smiled brightly, shaking her head. “Oh no Ukitake-sempai… it is a great honor to help you with our division.”
“I see.” Ukitake said, closing his eyes for a moment as he paused. “I’m feeling quite better now. In fact, I was wondering if you’d like to take a trip to the human plane.”
“Demo… patrolling is more for the others, don’t you think?”
Ukitake’s face changed a bit more serious as he shook his head. “No, we’ve heard reports that there has been unusual activity there. We cannot pinpoint if it is Hollow activity or something else… and I am sure you’ve heard the rumors.”
Kumiko nodded, “Ah, well if you think I would be suited to go then I will gladly go.”
Ukitake smiled, standing up along with Kumiko.
“Good. There are to be a few more going with you. I believe two others will be joining you. They should be meeting here in a few minutes or so.”
“Ah, just enough time to…” Kumiko unsheathed her Zanpakuto. “… finish my warm-up!” She grinned, twirling around as she continued to close her eyes and focus while she seemingly danced.
Name: Tsuga, Akaru
Gender: Male
Age: 20
Appearance: YAY FOR BISHIE SKETCH OF AKARU. Akaru’s appearance shows that not only does he not care for the school dress code, but he can get away with not caring. He often wears his white shirt so that the bottom half is undone and he doesn’t tuck it in (so it reaches about midway down his thighs, flowing open as he walks. Girls love it, teachers sigh inwardly at it and guys are too intimidated to hate it. XD) He otherwise wears the normal pants and tie, but the tie is loosely undone a bit to match his shirt. He also wears a pair of worn tennis shoes that are blue colored with white markings. He claims that they are extremely comfortable and wearing anything else would be bothersome. Akaru’s skin is very lightly tanned, to the point it really isn’t that tan but just isn’t pale. He has black tattoos upon the sides of his face, but not so obnoxiously as one would think. He also has matching tattoos visible upon his forearms and non-visible ones upon his shoulder blades. His Renji-red hair is extremely long and flowing, but he normally keeps it up. His red hair only causes his piercing emerald-green eyes to pop out even more, making his glares ever-more powerful. :3
Personality: Akaru is the quiet type that you get the feeling you shouldn’t get on his bad side. He generally has a very cool and calm demeanor, but easily gives off the sense that he could drop anyone in an instant. Akaru is quite intelligent and along with his bad boy rep, he often catches attention of some sort. (whether he wants it or not) He has a bit of a lazy attitude sometimes however, usually not doing anything he doesn’t have to do and sometimes not even doing things he should. While he doesn’t make friends easily due to his rather rogue reputation, the friends he do make are VERY protected underneath his guardianship. And if someone doesn’t realize this… once they mess with someone he deems his friend, they’ll soon find out.
Powers: Akaru’s powers manifest themselves in the form of a sword. It is slightly confusing to any Shinigami, for the sword resembles a Zanpakuto but Akaru is clearly not a Shinigami. Akaru’s sword (which will be called Gaoden) varies in appearance in power based on Akaru’s own spiritual energy and resolve to fight. So basically, his mood and determination determine his sword’s powers- and his spiritual energy fuels it and enhances it. Akaru is naturally very nimble and has the overall qualities that a skilled fighter has. (See history for whhyyy…)
History: Akaru grew up in a rather rough family and rough neighborhood. He was an extremely bright child and excelled in school, however his family’s secret business in criminal affairs slowly brought his schooling to a halt. Eventually Akaru became an elite Yakuza, being a second-hand man for a group of individuals who gave anyone who came across them great fear. (It might be noted that the only reason Akaru did not lead the group, was because he thought it tedious and simply didn’t want to.) Eventually however, Akaru became bored with his bloody lifestyle and decided to leave the life of a Yakuza. At first there was some run-ins and qualms about him leaving with several groups, but he silenced those who were stupid enough to try to stop him. (Use your imagination as to how.) Akaru then transferred to a different school district to get away from the busy city life. Akaru is older due to the fact that while he is very intelligent, his Yakuza days caused him to miss too much school to allow him to graduate.
Relations: Akaru lives by himself, having left his family in the city. Akaru knows of Katashi, but he hasn’t really given the absent-minded fellow a thought. Akaru has a bit of protective side with Takiri due to their run-in one day. She had gotten herself in a bind with some bullies and was giving a good fight despite her size and appearance. However, a group soon surrounded her and being rather bothered by this, Akaru came to her aid. He punched one guy in the jaw (yes, jaw) and after breaking it, the group dispersed. (Akaru rumors to the rescue!) Since then they’ve … limitedly hung out, which can be a bit difficult with Akaru’s reserved nature. Akaru was partners with Kiyoshi in a project once, and Kiyoshi is probably the only one who knows of Akaru’s book intelligence.
Other: WEEEE
Tsuga, Akaru
.: M | Human :.
“Akaru…” Akaru’s eyes slowly opened, and right before him he saw Hoshiko staring straight at him. This snapped Akaru to attention, as he noticed that everyone in the class had left.
“Sumimasen… I didn’t mean to fall asleep.” Akaru said, his low yet smooth tone quietly audible. Hoshiko laughed slightly and shrugged.
“I don’t care. The teacher doesn’t seem to either.” She whispered the end part, eyeing Tsukiko who just had walked out the door. Akaru raised a brow but shrugged as he rose from his seat, practically towering over Hoshiko. Scratching the back of his head absently, he noticed a few girls whispering in the corner and eyeing him and Hoshiko. Ignoring it, he walked out the door as Hoshiko walked by his side.
“Ano… Akaru-kun, for lunch today… do you want to eat with me and Shusui-san?” Hoshiko managed to say as they both walked down the hallway. Akaru’s mind wandered for a moment. Normally he didn’t like the idea of eating with anyone… except for perhaps Hoshiko. He just usually didn’t like the rumors and the talk that followed him wherever he went. However, he knew Shusui… and he had to admit that the kid didn’t seem half bad. Sure he couldn’t save himself from a wind gust, but he seemed to be the type to not give up. Akaru liked that.
“Sure.” Akaru said, which gave Hoshiko a smile and the two of them quickly grabbed their lunch. Walking to the top of the school building, Akaru soon found himself leaning against one of the protruding wall on top of the school as he gazed upwards at the clouds. Akaru was a relatively fast eater, and Shusui and Hoshiko were talking and still eating. A few times they had asked him about his food and if he made it. Akaru had replied simply with ‘yes’ and ‘delicious’. Hoshiko had offered him food at one point, in which he ate it just as swiftly and complimented the flavor. It had been delicious… and while Akaru did not show it, he slightly hoped that she would share food with him as often as she did with Shusui.
It was peaceful… well, for the most part. A few other groups of classmates came up to the roof to eat and while generally everyone was spaced out enough for it to be quiet… it still caused Akaru to wander his gaze at everyone. He knew a few of them – Kiyoshi and Katashi to be more specific. And at that very moment, Akaru watched in slight amusement along with Hoshiko and Shusui as Katashi began chasing a bird for some odd reason.
“He’s… a little odd.” Shusui commented, as Akaru raised a brow.
“You thin-” Before Akaru could finish, Katashi had come barging through and was about to practically run over Shusui and Hoshiko. Normally Akaru wouldn’t have done anything, but considering they were on a roof and Katashi’s absent mind seemed to have forgotten this. He was also running pretty fast… so Akaru swiftly stood up in front of the two of them. A resounding thud sounded through the air as Katashi collided straight into Akaru’s solid frame. Akaru’s face did not change, as Katashi was sent sprawling to the ground by his own momentum.
“Itetetetetete…” Katashi mumbled, rubbing his head as he looked upwards.
“Watch where you are going, ahou.” Akaru commented, looking at Shusui and Hoshiko to see that they were indeed alright but quite surprised at the suddenly collision. (Kiyoshi was reading a book and looked up absently… as if he expected such an occurrence.)
Name: Iibo Lobo AKA Lobo
Gender: Male
Age: Unknown- appearance (for an Arrancar) seems twenties.
Appearance: YAY FOR BISHIE SKETCH OF LOBO. Lobo stands at a rather average height of 6’2 and has a rather slim yet toned build. His hair is a snowy white that compliments his piercing violet eyes. His skin is slightly tan and actually seems far more tan when compared to his white Arrancar jacket. He always has his jacket open and his zanpakuto is fastened around his shoulder. (You can see the rest in the picture. >.<) His small remnants of his Arrancar-self is the small pieces of bone beneath his left eye, but other than that he seems perfectly human.
Personality: Lobo is… a very unique and most likely ‘unstable’ character. While he doesn’t change his moods as often as the weather, his two different sides are as different as night and day. Most of the time Lobo is very enjoyable and is overly nice and thoughtful. (AKA playing games with young children, laughing joyously, being lovable and liking to go out and have fun times.) In this state, he is very charming and extremely approachable to the point where usually his enemies are a bit confused. Lobo gets confused with his enemies as well and often needs to have very long conversations before realizing that anyone is his real opponent.
However, Lobo’s other side is extremely dangerous. On a radical whim, Lobo will snap at the most remotely random and insignificant things. (AKA a character could cough the wrong way and Lobo suddenly would take it as an insult.) The result, is Lobo totally goes beserk. He swears profusely, gets Ikkaku-like bloodlust and insanity for battle.
Lobo overall is hard to manage… especially for Aizen and he seems to only do what he wants- even in his good mood. The only one he actually listens too and strangely, has never snapped at, is his partner Gatomielo.
Class: Arrancar- Espada #3
Powers: Lobo knows the basic Menos powers- Cero blast, Pesquisa, has Hierro (stone-like skin… erm… yah know..), knows how to use Sonido (like flash steps), and Garganta. However, Lobo, despite being the newest member in the Espada, is surprisingly and deceivingly strong and swift. Lobo also has the almost instinctual and natural ability to cloak his spiritual energy at will. The funny thing with Lobo, is that he believes that he doesn’t know how to release his Zanpakuto yet. Everytime in battle he eventually tries however… creating a dramatic display with his words. However, when he unsheathes it… nothing happens, except for a small black tattoo with the kanji for “danger” appears upon his face. Lobo believes nothing happens and is usually quite dismayed, however in fact he has released his Zanpakuto- he just doesn’t really change. His power levels in strength and speed change dramatically however. (He … some how… doesn’t notice the change.) Lobo also has a unique attack, but to this day it remains unknown since he himself has not used it.
History: Lobo has a very simplistic history, for he is extremely new. Rumors has it, (and by rumors… I mean Lobo’s self proclaimed rumors) he died in a car accident back within the Earthen realm. However, his mother was a single mother who was dying in the hospital due to the car accident that Lobo himself caused (by accident…). So Lobo didn’t leave Earth but stayed, watching over his mother. When his mother eventually died a week and a half later… Lobo went insane. His anger at himself turned him into a powerful Vasto Lorde, which eventually led him to be an Arrancar. Lobo’s spirit has (even for an Arrancar) very powerful energy which explains his strength, but the causes of his insanity still perhaps echoes remainders within him.
Lobo, upon being created, was instantly seen as double-edged sword to Aizen. Aizen slowly is finding he is having difficulties controlling Lobo. Realizing that Gatomielo was the only other Arrancar who seemed to be able handle Lobo, Aizen stuck the two together. Lobo never has snapped at Gatomielo and often is a bit protective of him. The two now spy on the Earth and actually have spied on Shinigami in Soul Society a bit as well- mostly due to their power to conceal their spiritual energy. Lobo REALLY enjoys his visits to the Earthen realm as well… finding joy in eating their food and stealing shirts.
Relations: Lobo is on good terms and is a partner of Gatomielo.
Other: Lobo is… crazy… but in a good way!
WARNING: Blasphemous Lobo Activity Ahead
Iibo Lobo
.: Arrancar | M | Espada # 3 :.
“Awww… isn’t she adorable?” Iibo Lobo spoke softly, his voice sounding quite light and sweet. Lobo’s voice, when nice, can often be compared to lilac bushes or the types of flowers that you like smelling in the Spring. So much so, that many fellow Arrancar wonder if perhaps this was one of his own powers… but alas, anyone inside the head of Iibo Lobo would know otherwise.
“Ah, yes… all human children seem to be that way, ne?” Gatomielo responded, although he was sitting upon a park bench, distracting himself from Lobo’s antics for now. He discovered that once Lobo had become side tracked, it was best to let him run his course instead of trying to intervene.
“Hello there Imouto.” Lobo said with a coo, placing a light hand on top of the little girl’s head and ruffling her hair slightly. The little girl was no more than five years old and she giggled slightly. She of course, could not see Lobo at all but had already convinced herself less than a month ago that she had an invisible friend. Up until a few minutes ago, she was quite wrong and had no friends at all. However, for the meantime she had a friend in Lobo.
“Mommy, Mommy… Mii-san is playing with me!” The little girl called to her mother, who was sitting on a park bench tending to her younger child. The mother raised her head, smiled and waved in an automatic response to her hyperactive daughter.
“Aww… She called me, Mii-san!” Lobo said, standing up straight as he did his own version of a dance around the little girl.
“Let’s play catch!” Lobo announced, grabbing the girl’s ball. He then tossed it to her lightly, which again caused the girl to giggle and go fetch the ball. She then threw it… completely away from Lobo, but Lobo was oblivious to this and ran to fetch it anyways.
“Yay Mii-san!!” The girl called, clapping her hands as Lobo once again tossed it to her. Gatomielo raised a brow as he watched the two for a moment and then went back to distracting himself- somehow gaining a newspaper.
“Hey hey… its okay, you can call me Lobo-kun!” Lobo said eagerly, smiling brightly at the little girl as she once again threw the ball. Lobo paused and waited for her, but she looked around in confusion as to why the ball wasn’t moving.
“Mii-san… Mii-san! Throw the ball Mii-san!” She called, and Lobo frowned slightly as he went and retrieved the ball.
“She can’t hear you...” Gatomielo called half-mindedly, still browsing through the newspaper. Lobo seemed to either not register this comment or just chose not to hear his partner.
“Now… call me Lobo-kun!!” Lobo said happily, throwing the ball. He waited for her to call him that- as if it were a proper exchange for him playing catch. The girl however simply threw the ball in the opposite direction of Lobo again, clapping happily as her little brown pigtails bobbed up and down.
“Yay Mii-san!” The girl proclaimed happily, dancing.
Lobo’s eyes suddenly narrowed as he clenched his fists at his side.
“Here we go again…” Gatomielo said quietly, closing the newspaper to see how Lobo was going to deal with his other half this time.
“What the #@*%*^**!!! Stupid little f*ck’n human child!!!” Lobo suddenly yelled, stomping so that the ground sank beneath his feet as he charged at the girl. He did it so swiftly that even if the girl COULD have seen him… it wouldn’t have mattered at that point. Swinging his leg around, Lobo promptly kicked the girl straight in the abdomen.
One might compare this kick to the way one kicked a bouncy red rubber ball.
The little girl didn’t have time to yell, probably due to the fact that her lungs collapsed instantly as she went flying into the air to the point where she was indistinguishable from the sky. The mother didn’t notice, being too preoccupied with her baby.
“Maa, maa…” Gatomielo said, watching the girl fade into the distance. (He wondered shortly what the reaction of the human who stumbled across the body would be like. Or better yet, if the girl suddenly splattered right next to a human.)
With the girl gone, Lobo’s rage half seemed to melt away as swiftly as it had come.
“Oi, Gato-san, what were we supposed to do here anyway?” Lobo collapsed on the ground, sitting crosslegged as he pulled grass out of the ground boredly.
“Orders were to spy.” Gatomielo said, to which Lobo sighed loudly.
“Baaaah… so boring. Spying on patrolling Shinigami here and the wacko humans?” Lobo made a disgusted face, “I’d rather go shopping.”
[ Feel free to do what you want. Two other Shinigami should go to the human world with Kumiko. Others can do whatever they want. Eventually I’ll need all the humans (other than Yiwen’s charry) to get attacked by Hollows. Yours powers will manifest from being attacked… and you can defeat a Hollow, but you’ll be attacked by more. Eventually Kumiko’s group will come to your aid. (you guys can fight in a group or alone). ]
