,Niiro smirked back at Ky.” I mite have known you have said," Niiro said." Well since I'm here I would like to introduce myself. My name is Niiro Tokage." Niiro continued talk ", But since you have started talking about the Bounts then tell me where are they?" Then out of thin air Niiro felt someone’s spiritual pressure.
He started to speak to himself" what was that? A Bount, no a Soul reaper. " Niiro looked around to see if any shinigami are to attack him. “Ky there is some shinigami around here." Niiro said as looked back at Ky. " It feels like it coming from one of those cars, but I can also sense a Bounts presence. "

Ky yawned, uninterested, turning around as he slowly walked away from Niiro as he just finished his coffee and threw away the cup on a nearby trash bin. "Who cares." Ky remarked coldly, his manner of speaking turning more professional. "Like I care what some shinigami is doing here. And besides, I have no intention of violating the cease-fire treaty we have with the shinigami. As far as I'm concerned, they do their business, we'll do ours. If you want to talk, you know the place. Come by if you're sure what you want to achieve."
Looking at some of the cars that were stopped near a traffic light, Ky trotted down the pedestrian crossing lane, focusing his gaze at one interesting car at the second row. From what he can tell, Niiro was indeed correct about the shinigami, and not just that, Ky also detected the presence of another Bount as well. Smirking, Ky turned his attention away from the car. With all the people that was crossing with him at that time, the Bount and the shinigami in the car might have probably not noticed him and only detected a small trace of his reiatsu at best.
"Yet another Bount has come onto the stage. Shall our budding thespian have what it takes or will she fall from grace into obscurity? Only time will tell." Ky spoke, whispering to himself as he tread past the thin blanket of snow, a reminder of the coming holiday season.

Niiro continued the path he was walking. “He still didn't answer my question about what happened to the other Bounts," Niiro continued” Or maybe he....." Niiro stood were he was in an empty parking lot."Maybe the people how liked in this town where right, but then I can only trust him as much I can trust that demon and my name." ." Niiro said to himself as he kept walking to forget about the past and to think of his upcoming future to learn more about the man named Ky Die Verrater.

"I was... but I buried my hopes years ago. Besides, there is no way she could have ended up all the way here. This is extremely far from home..." She continued to tap her hands on the steering wheel, apparently there was a small accident ahead and the city workers were in the middle of clearing it out. Though not being as spiritually attune as she should be, Zoraida did notice the several energies around her, but was not experienced enough to pinpoint them, even if one was right next to her. She looked around before she continued to talk.
"But what happened? That was such a long time ago, I barely remember how long as a matter of fact..." She said, surprised that she was telling all this to a girl she just met. Maybe it was time for her to finally let it all out.
"Well, I was actually about to have my second child, whom I know I told one of the doctors I was going to name Emili, or Eme for short since I already knew it was another girl. The little ones always love the baby names. But, sadly I think there was some complications when I was giving birth to her. I passed out, and when I woke up I was in another building. They didn't tell me where Madi was or if Emili was alright. So I left and returned to the hospital, but they told me that they weren't there. I knew they were lying, seeing as why would a baby and a child go missing right after all that, you know? So I continued searching the hospital, they found me and threw me out.
So I returned home, thinking that maybe Emili didn't survive and one of the people from the hospital brought Madi home, but the house was empty. I spent over a week, looking for her but no sign of anything... Of course, any mother would of lost it by then...
But, eventually Burried my pride again, I became a child-less mother. If thats how I am to live, then so be it. If it be god's will,I will not object."She sighed.

This was far too much of a coincidence. Rhia was convinced, beyond a doubt, now, that this was Feiy's and Eme's mother. Now what?
She doesn't look old, though... There was something about her--something familiar, but she couldn't place the feeling. There was a human soul in her body, that much Rhia could sense, but its strength and vitality was something beyond human. It seemed... ageless? No. That wasn't quite right. And there was still the question of the dead human Zoraida had tossed from the apartment building.
What if she means to harm my Feiy? She wondered, unconsciously using the possessive. Even if that's not the case, how do I tell her that both her children have died?
Why did this have to be so complicated? She idly scanned the crosswalk, trying to come up with something to say. A drawn out silence would be just as suspicious as the wrong response.
There were several spiritual pressures around, but it was to be expected. Karakura Town was practically saturated with spiritual entities. Two were quite close, one perhaps directly in front of her. It was faint. Either suppressed or small to begin with. And familiar. In the same sense that Zoraida's felt eerily recognizable. The same--they have the same feel. What is that?
Her realization took only a moment. She was still staring at the crosswalk as she spoke again, a hard edge creeping into her voice. "It's not god. Gods have very little to do with our lives. We are in control of our own fates, not pawns in some predetermined game," She said this with an air of certainty, an authority at odds with her apparent youth.

"Ah, how saucy! I wasn't expecting that, but I believe we come from two different perspectives, Rhia. But haha, you do show some wisdom beyond your years. I'm sure you'd make a man very happy for you to be there wife. There needs to be more young girls like you! Madi was going to be like you, I'm sure of it. Maybe Emi as well..."
She moved back to relax in her seat. The city workers were definitely taking their time.
"Ah, they seem to be pretty slow in this country too."

Rhia laughed at Zoraida's exclamation. It was made all the more entertaining by the fact that, of all the men she could have had, she'd chosen a woman instead. My Feiy, she thought confidently. I wouldn't have another.
"I don't believe in fate." She leaned her elbow against the rim of the window, propping her head on her hand, and staring out the humans beyond the glass. Her position was such that the vertical scars on the inside of her arms were visible, shining pink against the golden tones of her arms in the sun. She didn't realize her slip as she continued, "We're what we make of ourselves. I think you should keep looking for your daughters,"
She turned her head to look at Zoraida, offering a crooked grin. "There's always a choice,"

"Well is that right? To think the worlds of a girl could have such an impact.
"Heh, maybe I will. Its about time I try again. It probably isn't right to go and give up on what you brought into the world. You're a smart kid." She said, beaming with a smile that bursts with new found confidence.
"Ah, that means, I'll have to return home. Of course, that would be where I'd find at least some type of clue."

"Hm..." Rhia gave a little half-laugh and returned to her contemplation of the sun-baked street. Despite the sun, she felt cold. She gave an involuntary shudder.
Sad. Why am I sad? Her skin prickled uncomfortably, and she glanced towards the source of the annoyance. Her scars. That was a choice, too, right? Do I really believe the nonesense I'm spouting?
She was often given to fits of extreme melancholy with regard to her past. They were moods she could hide with some difficulty, even from Feiy, and they really didn't come about that often. Certain topics were a catalyst. Fate certainly bothered her. It was difficult to reject fate with the knowledge that her soul was an ancient one, reincarnated over and over. Presumably, the cycle would continue for eternity. That's a type of fate, isn't it?
"Maybe you shouldn't return home," Rhia said, hardly thinking. "Something led you here, didn't it? Maybe you're here for a reason, like something draws you. Like bonds of blood,"

"Well actually, I was brought here by an acquaintance. He told me that this town had an effect of rising people's spirits. Though, I guess he had different reasons for inviting me... that's why I'm driving around now. I kinda had to give him a piece of my mind... and well, he doesn't feel like talking me." She said, a slight smile on her face as she gripped the wheel. Apparently the city workers were almost done.
"Seems like they're about to finish... well I don't see how these blood bonds you speak of would relate to my coming here. I also don't see how that'd matter to you either."

"If you listen hard and long enough, you can find anyone, hear anything you'd like. Blood sings. Your daughters' blood calls to you. You just have to listen," Rhia was speaking without thinking, talking as she would to another shinigami. It had to be the sun's fault, making her drowsy. Forgetful. It shined so brightly through the tinted glass of the window through which she still stared. "They were once part of you. You share bonds of the blood and bonds of the soul. If you try, you can feel the pull of these bonds,"
Just like she could always find Feiy, no matter where she was. She was drawn to the piece of her own soul embedded in the vaizard's. "You never really lost them. You just stopped listening,"

"Hmm, guess its not the city itself thats religious but its citizens. Well I just recently started to learn about religion, as when I was younger I always listened to nature, the winds of life. I always taught Madi to trust in the Earth's breath, as it could always tell you many things. But, if you what say is true... then maybe I could find through believing. Maybe not through blood, but through a common belief or something along those lines. It is true that, I did stop my practices with the wind after I lost my girls..." She said, as traffic finally picked up.
"I think there is another school building, along the ways near the edge of town. I'll take you there, I know I passed by there after leaving the airport.

Shio walked the streets of Karakura Town.. looking down as he wandered aimlessly it seemed... He'd noticed a few things back at the 'Quincy Base'...
For one.. the booming house was now somewhat empty.. the only quincy he'd seen in quite a while were Asai and himself.... In fact the couldn't really count himself.. seeing as though everyone's view was '1st Person'.. He couldn't see himself!
He continued walking down the streets, now with his PDA flipped out and in hand... He'd been off of school for some reason.. maybe faculty problems or something.. He'd never bothered to check though.... He'd just go on and wait until his PDA beeped with a mess-
Wham...!?!
He'd walked head first into a street pole!! His PDA now layed atop his hoodie as he layed down moaning a little... "G-Gosh... Why do I always do that on this street... Good thing noone ever sees me.. or at least I don't think people see me do this.. Damn." He sulked for a second.. coming up to where he was sitting on the... Road!?! His sulking had been interrupted by the honking of a truck horn.. very close to him.. only a few feet away, a truck had stopped.. something rolling from atop it.. making a shuffling noise.. Naturally this wouldn't alert a person.. but Shio wasn't natural.... He was 'Unique' as the teachers and doctors put it....
"I-Is that an arm... Godammit.. noone notices anything but me it seems... I wonder if it has a body connected... maybe its severed... mayb-" The horn honked loudly once more.. signaling for him to get up and get the hell out the way.. He could see the driver waving his arms.. then come in to honk the horn once more.. but stopping.. noticing Shio had disappeared... the truck driver grunted and then started the engine up again... Mumbling to himself...
Shio was now sitting criss-crossed on the top of the moving van.. examining the limp body.... "Cold... I better see if I can examine it..." He closed his eyes and focused.. trying to sense if the soul was anywhere near... it was gone... completely wiped form the now cold, now dead, body... "My calculations say the things been here traveling for quite a while.. but its gotten cold waay too quick... Ok we've made three turns since I've gotten here.. The street a few blocks away must be closer to the spot... the truck was passing on a straight away road soo....."
Being a genius was good in these situations..
"The body must have come from somewhere about five or six blocks away.... spiritual energy's scattered all throughout the city.. I could easily track down whatever the heck did this to the man..... but the body..." He flipped the PDA back into his hand and gave a call... To the quincy house...
The phone rang until it came to 'leave a message'....
[The following message will be posted twice in the quincy house...] "Hey Asai.. Found a weird dead body somewhere in Karakura town atop a truck.. its soul is completely missing.. It was done by some weird extraction point... I'm kinda freaked out by it.. the body's left cold and all... Whoever did this couldn't have been a hollow, nor a shinigami... If you got any idea, call the number on the caller I.D or whatever.. I'll be carrying the body around with me for a while stealthily... Until I get back.. be alert for any 'Soul Suction' devices or a presence that can do so.. Please.... The person who did this might have spiritual abilities or some weapon.. but I trust you could take them out if they came for you or anything.. Be 'SAFE'.. I'm gonna go ahead and check this out myself... Be safe..." The phone then clicked and started beeping.. Shio then took the body, holding it with a fireman's carry.. He suddenly jumped upwards.. moving at a great speed.... He was now getting used to the reishi channeling and so on. His speed had increased greatly and he could actually use the quincy's form of what the shinigami used.. called 'Shunpo' or something.... He soon left the top of the truck... now heading down the street a few blocks.... but unseen. jumping from rooftop to rooftop and hiding in allies every so often... He'd be there in no time.. back to a relative location of where the being could be still... If there were spiritual beings anywhere near then it'd be better.. he could narrow it down and get to doing his self assigned 'Mission'
No.. his Duty....
[Its national long post week for me in this guild.. him and Kuuri..xD]

Rhia blinked at the mention of a school, and she shook herself from the sun's grip, glaring resentfully at the heavy yellow disk. She'd caught bits and pieces of Zoraida's response, but she'd been daydreaming in the sun. She'd said something about religion. What have I been saying?
"I'm no sure I believe in a god. Or religion for that matter. It's such a hum--" She started before realizing what she'd been about to say. Human concept. She pushed on, continuing with a more coherent sentence. "-- an irrational concept. It gives people the excuse to give up. Opiate of the masses, and all that,"
And don't even get me started on angels. Who ever came up with that clarion-touting Christian variety must have been tripping. And those fat, winged babies? Humans are so silly.
"But, you can trust instinct. Trust your senses. Beliefs based in nature are the soundest..." She trailed off, steering the conversation back to a more normal topic. "Anyway, I think you're right about the school being near the end of town. I seem to recall airplanes flying overhead as they came into the airport," She flashed a disarming smile. "Can't be sure, though. I haven't been here that long,"
