Welcome to Gaia! ::

Whats the matter?
The smile on Kratos's face melts away as the eerie voice inside his head speaks. "W...What do you want? Who are you? GET OUT OF MY HEAD!"
You don't remember me? i feel sad...
Kratos falls to his knees and screams in agony. And in the mist of all of his pain a cut appears on his cheek and chest making him bleed bad, but not even close enough to kill him.
His eyes glow an disturbing gold and black and half of his face is covere with a seemingly violent white mask, but Kratos' will tears it off before it could take over...
Stupid! Not excepting my godliness! Fine...later then

Reena fell out her tree, startled awake to screams. She cautiously found the source of the screaming. Kratos. She nudged him with her foot and when no sound came from him, she picked him up and using sonido, sped them to an empty little building that was hidden using multiple techniques that she had gotten from the shinigamis. She set him down on the bare floor and checked his wounds. They had stopped bleeding, but were there, clear as day. She wrapped them up.
Reena didn't know why she did so, but she did. Maybe it was because of the tug she got from him, from his screams.
Vizard, floated through her mind.
That meant he had hollow in his blood.
She sat a few yards away from him, secluded in shadow, and waited for him to wake again.

Kratos wakes up dazed, but still able to move. He looks around the new room and sees nobody in the dark and seemingly secluded room.
"Where am I...How did i get here and..."
Kratos' thoughts before echo inside his head and he mutters "So "he" did this to me!"
All of a sudden He is startled by a slight but clear noise...

the word Vizard and Hollow echo viciously in his head, making him remember his concious battle with his darkside-

"You! What do you want from me!" Kratos said in a blank room with his Zanpakuto in its second form.
The almost pure white version Kratos replies with 'his' Gemini blades in the opposite hands. "You, friend!"
"Don't call me "FRIEND" you b*****d!"
Kratos lunges at the alter ego using shunpo, but the hit didn't make it. Instead it backfired and the White Kratos slashes Kratos lunging him about 30 ft.
"is that all you got, friend" A huge smile comes across his disturbing "and i was just getting started! Hehehehehehe..."

...and at that time he made up his mind...
"Show me the way out...If i am what you say i am, then "He" might attempt to kill me and you for fun, so show me the way out..." Kratos walks over and grabs his oversized blade, looks at Reena and reaches his hand to help her up...

"Hehehe...If its a fight you want! Then im not holding back!" He pulls out his sword and shatters the floor when the sword came down. "Ankoku Yo Rampu...Shitsunen!"
His Shikai form appears and his eyes turn red and black. "I don't want to hurt you, but you give me no choice, so turn around and fight!"
Kratos' hands clenches his sword so hard that his hands bleed.

Reena glances at him over her shoulder, and raises an eyebrow at him.
"I'm not looking for a fight from you." Her voice sounded disgusted.
She walks over, stopping just two feet away from him. If he wanted to, then he could stab her through the chest.
"If you're so eager to fight, succum(sp) to that beast of yours, and fight him. I'd happily fight you then, for then you would surely at least be a good match towards me." She crosses her arms over her chest and waits for his response.

~ Back in the Realm of the living~

It would be early morning, and Old man Daichi had taken Chou out to the middle of the forest on his land for what she had assumed to be training. Chou would look at her wrist watch with her oddly colored eyes not even completely open yet, it would read exactly 5:30 am. The sun hadn't even rose yet from the other end of the globe. Chou yawned sleepily, gently mewing at the end of her yawn, an odd habit of hers but a habit non the less. Lifting a her delicate pale looking hand up to her mouth to cover it in a graceful manner despite how tired she was. She would look over at Diachi with watery big eyes in an accusing manner. She would then speak out in an adorable whining manner.

"Nakanaga- sensei! why did you drag me out here to the middle of this abandoned neck of the woods at this hour?! The sun isn't even awake yet!"

Daichi's face wouldn't change from it's stoic look as all as he continued to lead her to an open medow. Daichi had become accustomed to Chou's habit's of being cute at odd moments. He also knew she knew how to be serious when she needed to be. He'd sigh as he turned to her and gave her a scolding look.

"It's bad enough that a Gaigin (sp?) (half Japanese, half white person) was able to become a Quincy by blood, and then is lucky enough to find a Sensei to help her find the way of the Quincy. However when one can't even be serious in the time of need that is another thing entirely."

Chou looked up at her teacher, and then her face grew stoic. It had been like this since day one. Daichi had done much to scare her away from becoming a Quincy, he told her much about her most likely dieing while fighting among other things like possibly even finding herself being raped by the enemy. She always ignored this and thought of her father, she was determined to learn what was in her father's blood. She believed it would bring her one step closer to her father in spirit and finding out what had really happened the night of the accident. She also found, it was better to die protecting something of great imporance to you as opposed to dying of old age knowing that there is a war going on and there is nothing you are doing about it. So in this she would look up at her teacher and say plainly.

"I am as serious about this as bright as a fire burns through the darkness of the night."

He wouldn't look back as his crimson eyes narrowed, this would be something he had never taught her before. Infact this may be the last thing her would teach her if she didn't watch her step. He'd let his arm relax at his side and then turned with a pitchers position, with a large amount of spiritual energy forming itself into a small ball into his gloved hand. Her eyes widened, before she could even think he chucked the ball of energy at her and quickly leaped to move out of it's path. It'd hit a couple of trees behind her causing them to explode. The splinters from the tree's would go flying in her direction and she hit the floor covering herself from the splinters. Chou would lift her head and look up as soon as it seemed the ball was out of site and then looked up at her teacher angrilly.

"WHAT WAS THAT FOR?! YOU COULD HAVE KILLED ME!"

Daichi would smile and shrug as she lifted her head to yell, and then gently lifted her finger to point behind her. The ball was in fact out of the area but to one who could sense it's energy it would be returning to the direction it came from.

"You might want to stop yelling at me and start running..."

Chou's eyes would widen as she looked back and the ball of energy came charging at her at an incredible speed. She'd begin to run as fast as her weak legs could carry her. In the mean while Diachi would be dodging all the wreckage and chaos the ball was causing at a god like speed, keeping the grace of a bird, by leaping from tree branch to tree branch amongst other evasive manuvers. Chou kept running from the ball and kept landing on her face into the dirt while it chased her. Daichi would look at his watch after some time, it was now 7:30 am. His face would twist into an annoyed frown, she had done nothing but run and dodge his enery for the past 2 hours. He'd call out to taunt her forcing an arrogant smile.

"You know you can't keep running and dodging it all day, sooner or later you will either need to make your move or die. Decide what you are going to do now or else you may run out of energy and lose all choice in the matter.... or... are you hoping to become a wimpy Shinigami? Tatsu would be so asshamed... his only daughter just so weak she always needs to run away..."

He'd laugh viciously as she began to dodge the ball, moving faster, looking furious from his taunting. His purpose in this was to cause her to get mad enough to be able to force her spiritual pressure to work with her. If he was successful she would either be able to kick the ball out of the area, stop it, or punch it away.

"Your just so pathetic... Just like him."

Her eyes would widen in fury as she heard the rest of his comment and reached over picking up a large branch, with her right arm, that was next to her without thinking. She would feel a massive amount of energy burn through her arms, but wouldn't think anything of it she was furious. Even though the branch must have weighed alot by a normal persons standards to pick up with one hand, she managed to do it without feeling any strain in her right arm. She would grab onto it with her other hand, and the massive amount of energy flowing through her arms would flow out into the branch. The branch began to glow from the massive amount of energy in it, she waited for a few seconds then swung the branch hard, hitting the ball of energy. The branch began to snap causing splinters to fly out as it broke. With her fury she had aimed the ball directly at Daichi when she hit it. His face would remain stoic and he'd lift his hand catching the ball as if it were nothing. The ball stopped spinning and soon began to stop glowing, revealing itself to be a regular baseball.

Chou would look up at her Teacher furiously and held the glowing bat with one hand pointing at him with her index finger of the other. She was panting hard, covered in sweat, trying to catch her breath.

"You can say what ever the hell you want about me... but don't you ever EVER CALL MY FATHER WEAK AGAIN!"

He'd look calm as he watched her trying to catch his breath, what caught him of gaurd was what had occured next. As soon as the girl screamed with all her strength, he mouth began to glow and a large amount of energy flew out of her mouth, much like a normal Quincy arrow would have. His eyes widened for a moment and then he calmed down and jumped down from the branch before it could hit him. He looked over at the girl for awhile and began to try and firgure out why she was able to concentrait so much energy. Chou would fall down on her knees leaning forward and coughing out a large amount of blood, her body would be shaking violently. It then suddenly occured to Daicho why she looked so young and so frail at her age, her lack of ability to control the spiritual energy around her was causing a strange reaction for her body. His eyes narrowed as he walked up to her and looked over her condition analyzing it carefully. He then spoke softly and kneeled naxt to her gently rubbing her back.

"And so I shan't..."

She began to cough violently again, looking up furiously at him coughing out more blood. It would be quite obvious to him that she was trying to throw harsh words at him. He looked at her and sighed, picking her up and placing her over his shoulder. He then knew automaticly what he needed to do. He needed to take her to the "Soul Society" (temporary word placement) and get her to the squad four team stat. He then began to run through the wood's and tried to keep Chou calm by making a few jokes.

"Well... it looks like my inlaws the Sohma's are going to be madder then hell about "their" property being destroyed... Do you think they'll believe me if I told them it was my wife who did it?"

He'd chuckle as he ran quicker. Chou's face would grow paler and paler as her body drained of blood. This was almost normal for Daichi by now, since the first day he had trained her he saw that she didn't take it too well, however this was the first time he had seen her cough up blood. He then knew this time she would build up more endurance, but she may end up being like this for the rest of her life, if she even survived this attack. He began to look pissed and began to scream out name's of Shinigami (sp?) he had knew personally for the past few years. He would see her color drain and began to run faster towards the nearest Shinigami watchmen in the area.

"I need some help here!"
