Welcome to Gaia! ::

†Hatsume† Running with gentle, careful steps the foxen shinigami entered into the area holding another craddled in her arms. Scratched up and such the shinigami who seemed more injured was known as Chieko; or Willow. Hatsume was no less of some scratches herself, but the worst thought damage on the foxen one could've been that bristled tail which mimiced a disfigured porcupine/rabbit's tail. Worried eyes shearched out for somebody able to help within the area, calling out; she attempted to claim some attention to herself. "Aye! I need a doctor! My friend here is hurt, She might be bleeding internally. Please....!" Her voice spoke her worried emotions, which also played onto her face. Continueing to shearch she peered out hopfully with a responce. (Willow should post afterwards to confirm this too. X..x My my...)

With the sudden appearance of the two new shinigami, Jubei looks into Aiko's eyes and only smiles...as he began his descent. Landing with ease, he turns to the foxen shinigami and replies, "Thanks for cutting into my exercise warm-up, so that shinigami got a beating. And from the looks of things, it seems that you were out matched as well." Looking down at the passed out shinigami within the foxen's arms, he would then reply, "I'll probably get blamed for that if I don't do something. Guess I have no choice in the matter...." Without looking at Aiko, the shinigami prisoner would say, "It seems that we'll have to cut this short and as much as I wouldn't mind another shinigami's death. I'm not one to take credit for someone else's handy work. If you can keep up, maybe you'd like to see where all of this takes us? Or sit around here bored, while you await for more of your squad mates. But, I doubt anyone would show up soon...."

Returning his gaze back upon Hatsume, he adds, "Still strong enough to carry your friend there?"

Jubei sighed, only to respond with a calm tone of voice, "I see.....very well, I'll help you out. But, there will be a price for you to pay later." Turning towards an unseen path into the woods, about five feet of Jubei's golden chains drop to his side...just long enough to wrap around Hatsume and her fallen comrade. As the animated chains began to probe and poke at the shinigami. The shinigami prisoner replies, "Don't worry about Kingusari, unlike Hitodama they will not attack simply for blood lust. Allow them wrap around the both of you and hang on tight. If they feel like they shouldn't trust you, they'll either rip into you or leave you behind." As Jubei spoke, the chains would continue to inspect Hatsume and Chieko's body....as they awaited for a reply.

((contiuned from top of park))

...as willow continued to approach the voice she asked it again "WHAT do you mean by 'i can't find it where it isn't' and 'that i know where it is.'? who are you and how do you know this?" as she starts to round the tree where the voice was heard she caught a sharp glisten to her left in a bush as the voice started to fade away. there at the bottom of the bush(still upside tree thing) is a sheathed weapons with a reaistu unlike any other....the energy was pulsing. as willow was looking around she decided to take the weapon with her as she left. just before she open her eye's she said to the voice softly, "thank you"

((she opens her eyes once someone is there to help heal her))

†Hatsume† With a slight nod she'd notice a soft voice from Chieko before turning her attention back towards Jebei talking about the flash step. Boy- that kept on popping up today! (I have to make this short/ gtg again) X.x Thus, the Shinigami listened, watched with confused but curious eyes, shifting her long ears back if able as the happening occured.... =0 Ohhh! (k- gtg- mum's yelling) ><;;

Aiko twisted in mid air, letting herself pass the orb and land silently on her feet. She stood up, observing what was going on, but remaining quiet. She folded her arms and simply sighed as Ake's voice entered her mind.

'Well that was a disapointment...' said the small, innocent sounding voice.

"Ake, you can't put this before the wounded." she replied, sounding slightly irritated.

'Whatever...I was just getting bored and really wanted some sort of action.' the small girl's voice held a tone of boredom, but also of annoyance.

Aiko remained silent, she didn't feel like holding a lengthy conversation with Ake, the small girl would just turn everything she said on it's head and throw it back at her. She layed herself down, putting her hands behind her head and closing her eyes. Her hair lay spread out beneath her. 'Now what?' she thought to herself, 'I'm back to square one...all on my own, and still lacking a coat. Bah, I'll go and get one later. Guess I'll just have to wait here until someone finds me, someone tries to kill me, or I get too cold. Eh, forget it...I'm going.'
