Welcome to Gaia! ::

"A hollow dog? Aren't most dogs good, do they wouldn't come here?" Reena asked, tilting her head to the side in question.
"Well..." he trailed off.
"Why not create one? You're always saying how great you are with this project and everything. I'm sure creating a puppy would be easy for you," Reena smiled at him and continued her work.

Isaac wasn't really being attentive until the story.
"She could be a decendant of the kid. My take on all of this? I could try to take the reiatsu out with my shikai. If I'm precise enough, I can take it all out, but the thing is, now that I know her, I'd hate to do it to her." Isaac steadies himself, on the verge of falling asleep. "She's a nice girl, but, like her existence, we need to tell nobody of this.

-------------------
Leon smiles, and laughs.
"Not as easy as it seems, you know. I'd need to find a dog, and kill it. The I would have to imprison it there, or forcibly pull it's Chain, then tame it."

Hikari sighed and grabbed a stack of paper work, starting to fill it out. "I wish I knew who it was. But that girl, as much as I think she is nice, there's something wrong with the reiatsu she is putting out." Once she had gone through that stack, she reached for another when a hell butterfly fluttered in through the window. "Oh! It's from Unohana-taicho!" She frowned when it gave her the message. "Hitsugaya-sama has returned from investigating the reiatsu out there and now he's invesigating Chou." Her eyes widened. I guess Unohana-taicho is sending me there to keep an eye on Hitsugaya-sama, since if anyone would be able to reason with him out there it's probably me... She stood, rather depressed that the time alone with Tsu had been cut short. She hesitated for a moment, staring back at him, a blush forming on her cheeks. "Tsu-kun... um... I'm sorry... I know how you don't like dealing with him and all. If you'd like I can come visit you outside the 11th Division, or if you want to come with..." Hikari didn't want her time with Tsu to end. In truth, she was a little irritated at Hitsugaya. She may owe him her life, but this was getting ridiculous!
Besides, she'd had some other things to talk over with Tsu. She was thinking of accepting a mission to the world of the living, and wanted his approval on that. Actually, she was a little scared and was perhaps hoping that he would go with, so she wasn't assigned with someone else. She didn't like being that far from home, but she wanted to get more active in some missions.
She headed out, pretty sure that Tsu was following her and ran into the captain in question. "OOF!"
"Misuzu, you're clumsy."
"Eh? Sorry, Taicho," she said softly, then her tone rose again. "Hey, wait a minute! That girl isn't really up for interrogations, Hitsugaya-sama."
"I would just like to observe her for a minute."
"By the way, um, sorry how I acted earlier, and um... thanks." Hikari said shyly.
He stared ahead. "You spend too much time with Hinamori. Her impulsiveness is rubbing off. Stop that."
She said nothing and hoped that Tsu was following. She wanted to spend some more time with him to talk about that mission!
"Misuzu, about your bankai, you really should..."
"OH! Look we're here!" Hikari interrupted and sprung ahead, giving the captain the distinct feeling that she did NOT want to talk about it. "Please, do be careful, and don't scare the poor girl either!"

Captain Hitsugaya entered in with Hikari just as they were talking about draining the girl and Hikari rushed over to where Chou was. The other captain just stared after his former squad 10 member. "She is dangerous like this." He remarked. "Something has to be done. Something about this girl makes me uneasy. Misuzu, were they planning on having her reiatsu be drained? Perhaps you should."
"I-I can't do that! She isn't an enemy!" Hikari cried out and ran back over to where Hitsugaya was. She clenched her fists. "I can't stand by and let you do it either, Isaac-taicho!"
"Misuzu, need I say it again?" Hitsugaya raised an eyebrow at her. "Hinamori's twin."
Her hands fell to her sides. "Sorry," she mumbled.

Isaac stands in silence, trying to stay awake. Two seconds after Chou said hello, he lets out a sigh of pain, experiancing a nosebleed, and falling back onto Chou's feet, asleep. His dream flashes in front of his mind's eye, calming him.

Ignoring Tsu's comment as usual, the captain didn't speak until he'd made it into the room.

When Ukitake addressed him, he sent a glare in the direction of the other white-haired captain. "It makes no different if she is a threat now or not. What is important is that I could feel her reiatsu from across the Seiretei before, even when I was caught up in different events. I came to investigate now that the other matters were... tied up. For now she isn't a danger, but for how long?" His eyes narrowed and he folded his arms.
"Hitsugaya-sama, please don't tell me that I have to..." Hikari pleaded softly. "I don't want to..."
When Tsu spoke up, Hitsugaya was the first to agree. "I believe that the Squad 11 member here has a good suggestion," he said nodding. He glanced at Hikari, who still kept her pleading eyes on him. "If we were to do that, we wouldn't need Misuzu or the other captain here to drain her."
Hikari sighed in relief, and managed to smile at Tsu, but it didn't last long when Isaac passed out again. "Isaac-taicho!" She rushed over to his side frantically. She grabbed a wet cloth, cleaning the blood off, and began a healing kido spell, attempting to ease the boy's pain.

"True. I might just get a lizard one then. They're abundant here." Leon says, kicking flour around.

--------
Isaac wakes up to Hikari healing him. He moans when he's hit with a wave of pain.
"It feels like my head exploded." He says, trying to push the pain away. "And that's why, every hour, I fall asleep, or this happens." He tries to smile, but it turns into a contorted look of pain.

Chou looked over at the Toshiro as she heard him speak, for a moment she looked scared, she then relaxed as she looked over to Ukitaki and then over to Hikari. She would sigh as she heard what they were discussing, she couldn't make out all of it, her Japanese vocabulary was limited. However she could figure out what they were saying just by the expression on their faces. She saw Isaac fall on her feet, his blood leaking all over the white sheet's at her feet. Her eyes widened as she saw the pool of blood and she bagan to see her fathers head talking to her. She began to panic and pulled her feet back and hugged her knees to her chest and began to sob. She began to repeat in English over and over. She heard Isaac's name and began to try and break herself from her thoughts but it seemed almost as if she were locked in it.

"Blood..."

Ukitake would nod to Hitsugaya, looking over at Chou a few times and then spoke calmly.

"Your right Hitsugaya- Taicho... However, there may be a few draw backs to that plan. It may be the best thing we have for right now though... we really have no time to waste on this do we? We have another issue with that large reiatsu that has been floating around. So I suppose we have no other choice then to keep the Quincy girl in the Tower of Penitence..."

Chou would understand the word Penitence, and look a bit worried. She knew that word very well, it was one her father had used often whenever he saw blood, he would then ussually scrub his hands raw after that. She looked down and began to wonder, were they going to punish her? Did she do something wrong. She then held her head down and spoke softly.

"I'll go... I wouldn't want to be any more of a burden then I have been..."

Ukitaki's head had turned at this, he'd raise an eyebrow, the last quincy he had encountered was much more stubborn then this. She certainly couldn't have been related to the lord he kept thinking about, that man was way too prideful to give up that easily. Perhaps she was just a walking time bomb of reiatsu after all. He turned his head back to Hitsugaya and then spoke calmly.

"There you have it... and as soon as she's healed she can go back to where ever she came from..."

He turned his back and walked out of the room past them, he knew by what she said she had no where to go. However what did it matter, she wasn't his responsibility, so what was it that made him feel so guilty. Was it the boy's face that he had seen all those years ago? They shared the same eyes, ones that held an empty loneliness. He shook his head and walked out he had other things to do.

Chou would see Ukitaki walk out and wondered what was going on. She couldn't keep up with what they were saying, her head kept spinning as she felt heat rise to her ears, and they began to ring. The word penitence rang through them over and over. She looked down sadly and then looked over to the corner where her pack sat, she would see a small amount of flashing light coming from her bag. She wondered if anyone else could see it and then the voice from her dream spoke to her again. She watched everyone around her talk, but no sound came out, she felt almost as if she was somewhere else watching this event taking place.

"Chou..."

"Tsuki...?"

"Yes..."

"Can they hear us...?"

"No they can not..."

"..."

"They are talking about you right now Chou..."

"Why?"

"They are afraid of you... they are saying you don't belong..."

"Why would they be afraid of me?"

"Because they don't know you like I do..."

"Oh..."

"They want to lock you up somewhere you can never leave, they want to kill you Chou..."

"Kill me? Why would they do that they are my friends...?"

"Don't be foolish... do you honestly think there are people who consider strangers they just met to be their friend?"

"Why not...? They are my friends..."

"You poor naive child... not every one is like you..."

"You still didn't answer me as to why they want to kill me..."

"Because you are different and they fear you... they want you to repent for that... I will protect you if you want me to..."

"No... they wouldn't do that. Mr. Ukitake, Little Isaac, and Miss. Misuzu wouldn't let them..."

"You mean like Master Daichi didn't abandon you...?"

"He didn't leave me... Master Daichi would never do that..."

"He tried to kill your father..."

"Your Lying!"

"Am I now...? Did you ever wonder why he looks so much like your father...?"

"Tsuki stop it!"

"It's up to you... continue to be naive. If you need me... just call out my name and I'll help you. You know where to find me..."

The glowing from her father's sword handle would stop, and the voice would be no more. Instead the voices of everyone around her began to flow out into the air once more breaking the silence. She watched them carefully and she saw Isaac on the bed. She would see Hikari healing the poor boy. She weakly reached a pale hand over for the boy, her entire body shaking in fear as she gently ran her hand against the boys head softly, trying to help comfort his pain.

"Hang on Isaac-san..."

((By the way for those who have been confused about this... Ukitaki is not interested in Chou. I gave a small explaination as to why Ukitaki was being so nice in this post. However it is very very brief, however if you don't catch on and ask me later I will care to explain.
Problem solved...))
