[SaffireNinja]

Rina had been summoned to Captain Ukitake for orders. She wondered what it would be now since there were only so many things that happened in the Soul Society. When she reached the door to his office, she sat down and then knocked.

"Come in," he called.

She did as told then sat down again, but before him this time.

"You know you don't have to be completely formal, Rina," he told her.

She nodded her head. "I know sir, but it's out of respect."

"I have good news for you. You get to go to the world of the living," Captain Ukitake told her.

Her expression changed. She had not been to the world of the living in years. "Are you serious, sir?"

"Yes. When I heard about the mission, I figured that you might be a good candidate for it. I'm sure you'll have plenty of fun."

Rina stood up, but bowed before she walked out. "Thank you, sir," she said. She gathered her things quickly then headed for the Seireitei. Renji was already there. She had trained with him before so she knew a little about the guy. Ikkaku was definately crazy in battle. That is one battle she would never pick. As for Yumichika, she did have a little crush on him, but she never admitted it.

"Hey, Rina! You finally get to go to the world of the living again. How do you feel?"

She looked at the ground as she replied back to Renji. "I, uh... I'm a little nervous."

"Oh come on, it's not that bad. You'll never be alone without one of us. Ichigo and Rukia are already there and waiting on us."

She saw something out of the corner of her eye and looked up. There were the other two walking towards them. She blushed a little when she saw Yumichka but turned her head so no one could see.

[Nariana]

”Ahhh, Ikkaku. It feels good to have a chance to leave Seireitei. I hear the humans have quite a sense of beauty when it comes to some of their fashion,” Yumichika said nonchalantly as he and Ikkaku walked toward the Seireitei. Though he had never been to Karakura Town, Rangiku from Squad 10 often talked about their clothing style while she wasted hours reading through smuggled magazines— very loudly, one might add. Ikkaku, with his arms raised and hands resting behind his head, merely snorted at Yumichika. Yumichika knew his friend couldn’t understand his sense of style, or most things that came out of his mouth. But it was okay; they had a strange friendship, anyway.

As they approached the outer gates, Yumichika noted Renji’s red hair before his gaze settled on the young girl with him. ’R…Now what’s her name?’ he thought before announcing aloud with a triumphant smile and a snap of the fingers, ”Oh! Rina!” Someone might have thought he was actually excited to see her. In all honesty, he was just glad that he didn’t forget her name. He didn’t want to embarrass the girl and stress her out too much, especially after some of the floating rumors he heard about her past. They weren’t much, but he knew from them that she went through some traumatic ordeal and ended up with extreme memory loss after a fight. That was all, but it was enough for even Yumichika to tone down a bit.

In his usual nonchalant tone, he said, ”I don’t know about you, but I think we need to get a move-on. This place is becoming more hideous by the second, and chitchat can come later.” To emphasize, he crossed his arms across his chest, closed his eyes, and turned to walk toward the Senkaimon awaiting them.

Renji nodded and began to walk through the opened gates. It wasn't his first time to go to the world of the living, though some of those times weren't for a good reason. But it did bring him happiness that he would get to see Rukia again, and at least that Ichigo was a strong fighter, not some big headed wimp. At least in the world of the living that he wouldn't have to worry much about Rina finding out about her past. Normally if someone had extreme memory loss and somehow remembered who they were, it could cause extreme mental damage.

Rina took the back of the group, feeling slightly uncomfortable. It was strange that she got sent with them. She was only a 5th seat. Renji and Yumichika were lieutenants and Ikkaku was a 3rd seat. Why would a lower ranking Shinigami go along with them? This mission was supposed to be very difficult. Something about Hollows that were evolved and very powerful.

After a long distance of running, they finally got to the other side. Karakuro Town.

"First things first. We need to hook up with Rukia and Ichigo to exchange information. Then you three will need to find a place to stay. Kisuke will only allow so many guests at the same time. After tonight, we will need to work on-what are you staring at?" Renji growled at Rina.

Rina had a look on her face, trying to tell him that she wanted to do something else. "Well... I've never been to the world of the living and I kinda wanted to check stuff out..."

"Don't lie. You've been here once."

"Yeah, to kill a few hollows in an industry yard. I've never been to Karakuro Town." She was sure that she wasn't the only new person here. Plus it might end up in helping them in battle, or even outside of battle, if they knew what things are. "Please?"

After a long sigh, he gave up arguing. "Fine. I will give you the gist of things around here. Then we will get to the mission. You two haven't been here, right?"

[Nariana]

As the group crossed over to the World of the Living, Yumichika couldn't help but to grin. While Renji and Rina conversed, Yumichika scanned the town for the nearest clothing store. Shinigami clothing was so bland; it was nice to see vibrant colors and variations to clothing here. He was invigorated by the idea of exploring, especially since someone else apparently had similar ideas.

Answering Renji, Yumichika spoke for both Squad 11 members. "Unfortunately, no. But now that we're here before any real danger, how about you let us two chaperone Rina while you find Ichigo and Rukia?" Smiling with false charm, he placed a hand on Renji's shoulder as he continued, "You can handle the important business. We wouldn't want to get in your way. We can meet up in an hour over... there!" Yumichika pointed to a bland, yellow two-story house with a sign labeled, "Kurosaki Clinic" sitting on the green roof. "Don't worry. I won't forget its location. It's such a hideous building. How could I?" he added, slightly scrunching his face and flippantly waving his hand as if he had smelled something foul. He hoped appealing to Renji's pride a bit would allow him the free time he so desired.

SaffireNinja

((Fyi, Yumichika's the 5th seat. Little Yachiru is the lieutenant.))

[SaffireNinja]

((I always forget about her for some reason... Why?!I secretly knew that.))


Rina couldn't help but to smile. She was able to spend a little free time with Yumichika. She knew that he liked fashion so they both would have something in common. "Um, you might not want to say anything about that to Ichigo... That's where he lives. Just don't get into any trouble, okay? I'd rather not get involved in affairs with the laws here."

"Thank you Renji," Rina said. Renji shrugged as a welcome then went to Ichigo's house to see if he and Rukia were there. If not, then they could be at school, or hr had to go look for them.

"Um, shouldn't we go get our gigais first? I don't think we'd be able to actually shop without them..."

Ikkaku nodded. "Yeah. We'll have to find Kisuke Urahara's shop. Do I seriously have to go clothes shopping with you two?" he asked darkly. Fashion wasn't his thing at all. Yet he was friends with Yumichika. It was something that was hard to understand.

[Nariana]

So eager to shop, Yumichika forgot the most important part of it all. "Ah, you two are right, I suppose," he said, somewhat downcast and dramatic. He was never good at waiting on things, though. "And yes, Ikkaku. You must stay with us to keep the group even. Renji, Ichigo, and Rukia make three, and we make three," he said slyly, making a pretty decent argument if he said so himself. Also, he secretly liked irking Ikkaku. His friend was funny when he was mad. Turning back to Renji, he added as he clapped his hands in a chop-chop manner, "Then I suppose you can lead the way to one place, Renji. Take us to Kisuke's."

SaffireNinja

((Eh, kinda short... Ooo, I'll be Kisuke~))

[SaffireNinja]

((Ah, it's okay.))


"Okay. Kisuke is a pretty cool guy. I just wonder where he gets his brains from." Renji led the way to Kisuke Urahara's shop. It was a bit of a far distance from Ichigo's house but it wasn't like they weren't used to traveling far. He led them into an alleyway where an old fashioned shop was. "Well here's his shop. Looks like no one's here... Hello?" he yelled as he knocked on the door.

It was funny to Rina how Ikkaku didn't want to go with the other two. Though everyone should be with a partner since they were in an unknown place. "For a guy of good recognition, he has such a small shop. Oh, I can't wait to get my gigai. I bet it's so much more fun here."

Ikkaku stayed at the back, angry that he had to go with them. Surely there were far better things to do here than shopping. Renji looked out the corner of his eye at Rina without making it obvious. This would be a perfect time to ask Kisuke about the rumors about Rina, if he was willing to say anything. There were times that it was important to get information but couldn't get it from him.

"My, my. Business sure has been slow today, eh?" a bored Kisuke said lazily to no one in particular as he lay on his side on the floor in his living room, his head propped up by his hand and elbow while the other hand slowly fanned himself with a white paper fan. No customers showed up, no Hollows made their presence known, and Ichigo's friends were nowhere to be seen. He admitted; he enjoyed their company. Not only were they a strange and amusing bunch, but they seemed to always attract excitement in his otherwise quiet life here in Karakura Town.

He was absentmindedly daydreaming when he heard voices-- Renji's in particular. At this, he perked up and stood to approach the door. With his notorious fan in his left hand and the entrance door sliding back thanks to the other, Kisuke suddenly and gleefully welcomed the Shinigami. "Welcome, welcome! I see you've brought friends, Renji!" he said with extreme enthusiasm, his fan hiding the huge smile creeping onto his face. His eyes narrowed on Rina for the briefest of moments as he sidestepped to let them inside. "But honestly, Renji, you should have at least called me if you were bringing company. I would have had tea ready!" he added dramatically, fanning Renji flippantly as he spoke.

SaffireNinja

((I meant to get on the computer earlier, but I ended up on the phone for hours. xD))

[SaffireNinja]

Nariana

(That's ok. It was father's day after all. It was just a long day anyway.))


"Sorry. I didn't know you had a phone. Uh, this is Rina, Yumichika, and Ikkaku. This is their first time in the world of the living." Kisuke probably already knew that much. He always found out about things as they happened. Yet, he was always in the world of the living.

Rina was startled by Kisuke's personality. It was so bold. She bowed before him. "It's nice to meet you sir," she said before returning to a normal stance. She wanted to be polite to the man who was allowing them go do so much in this world because of his work.

Renji looked at her for a moment, losing his thought. "Yeah, they're kinda excited to try out things around here. I think they're going to find it more fascinating than me. Plus I have something to ask you..." he said, trying to secretly give him a message in his gestures that he didn't want at least Rina to know about it.

[Nariana]

At Rina's politeness, Kisuke just laughed and threw a hand behind his head. "How sweet! But please, no need for the formalities here," he said warmly. Kisuke had always been a pretty laid-back person; he didn't see the need for such uptightness. However, that chill attitude didn't mean he wasn't paying attention; he knew that Renji had something serious to ask. Tactfully, he thought of a way to gain a moment of privacy.

"Why don't you three go ahead and make yourselves comfy in the back? I need to go prepare your gigais if you plan on strolling around town," he told the newcomers and pointed in the direction of the living room, which was behind the main shop down a hall closed off by another sliding door. Oh, Tessai-saaan~" Kisuke yelled, hand cupped around his mouth. The door that led to the rest of his home slid open immediately, and a rather large man with cornrows and glasses sat bowed on his knees at the hallway entrance. "If you would prepare four cups of tea after you escort our guests, that would be lovely." And with that, Tessai politely led Rina, Ikkaku, and Yumichika down the hall. "Renji, you can help me carry the gigais..." he said less cheerfully, that glimmer of knowing in his eyes as turned to look at Renji. He followed the others down the hall but turned to a corridor in the opposite direction.

The newcomers were no real surprise to Kisuke, as Renji probably already knew. Yoruichi always kept him up to date about the people of the Seireitei, and Kisuke had his eyes on the world above without her help. Once they were in Kisuke's private laboratory where he did most of his research, he slid the door closed and crossed his arms. "So what-- or who is my favorite freeloader thinking about today?" he asked slyly, his hat shading his eyes in the already dimly lit room.

SaffireNinja"

Kisuke was a very nice man. His personality was something different. She liked it. Then again, once she became a Shinigami, she met many people with interesting personalities. "But I must. You're one of the greatest inventors ever, plus you have a better attitude unlike someone else..."

Renji did like Kisuke for his ability to notice things without making a scene to the world. He followed him down to his laboratory to privacy. Of course the others didn't know what exactly was going on anyway. "I need to know something... I'm curious about Rina. I've heard rumors about her being older or... She lost her memory. I can tell she is strong but some of her reactions show that she's already been through everything before. Am I right?" he asked. It was really eating him. What if those rumors were true? If she did get her memory back and it ended up hurting her somehow, he wanted to know.

On the other hand, Rina was having a good time. Tessai was a real good host and made excellent tea. Not many could. It almost seemed like she had tried it before.

[Nariana]

Kisuke closed his eyes for a moment and smiled, but his expression was not one of happiness. No, Rina's story was somewhat tragic. In his serious, deep voice, he answered Renji, "Yes, you are correct. It's a shame such a promising girl has to go through an ordeal like this." Kisuke's smile faded, and he looked Renji dead in the eye. "It's dangerous for her to be here, as vulnerable as she is now. She was a powerful Shinigami almost two centuries ago, and she grew up in the Rukon District just like you. Perhaps that's why you two are friends in some unconscious way.

But that's not important. After a confrontation with Aizen, she made the decision to wipe her own memory rather than joining his forces... You can understand why being here right after Aizen's disappearance is not the best of situations, I'm sure." Renji was an intelligent enough person; he could conjure an idea of the consequences if Rina suddenly remembered her past. And of course, Kisuke did not tell the girl's entire history. There were some things that were meant to be forgotten.

Kisuke walked toward the nearest wall and flipped a light switch. Machinery and papers were strewn about the room messily. But Kisuke knew exactly where he needed to go. He reached down and opened a large, human-sized leather case. In it was Renji's gigai. Even Kisuke would admit that this was not the best way to store something. "It was the only way I could think of to keep it from getting dusty," he said before giggling nervously. Pulling it out slowly, he encouraged Renji by saying, "It looks to be unharmed, though. Why don't you try it? Do you remember how to step into it?" One would think that Kisuke had completely forgotten about Rina's story, as cheerful as he suddenly sounded.

SaffireNinja

[SaffireNinja]

Renji couldn't forget Rina's story so quickly. It all was true. He felt sadness from the story. She indeed was a girl who deserved much more. But at least she did choose which side she wanted to be on. She would definitely make a strong ally. If even Kisuke changed his attitude, it was serious.

He nodded to Kisuke and stepped into the gigai. After a moment, he opened his eyes and stood up. Renji bent over to stretch then stood up straight. "Well, I'm not covered in dirt. I suppose you already know why we're here, don't you?" he asked. He needed to change the subject so he wouldn't look like he had a bad secret on his mind.

Slowly, he stepped over towards the other gigai and picked them up carefully. He probably already knew that at least two of the three were getting irritated about waiting. "So, we don't just have to go against ordinary hollows but Arrancar as well. This should be interesting.
