Welcome to Gaia! ::

Shio continued his stealthy journey towards the location.. carrying the body as he seemingly teleported short distances pass people... He'd traveled about three blocks.. but began to think... 'What if this was a hollow..and what if it were more then one.... What if it was a shinigami doing some weird process'... "Can't take that chance..." He now crouched.. standing on something thin.. a pole...

He was crouched on the pole like the American spider-man would be.. but with the dead body hanging over one of his arms... He reached for his belt, snapping off a ginto quickly... "Nachahmer..." He closed his eyes and cracked the ginto.. then proceeded to crush it into dust.. He then focused... after a few seconds he opened his hands.. the crushed glowing pieces in the shape of a cross.... Suddenly a strong field expanded outward like a bubble from his hand outward until it covered his body in a complete 360 degree bubble of thin invisible reistu... Slowly a reistu signature.. formed... It was that of a shinigami!!?!!

"Good thing I'm skilled with ginto.... If there there, they'll only find my signature as that of a patrolling shinigami secretly passing by or taking his normal route.... This'll cover me... The only possible way anyone spiritual could see through this would be if I they actually studied me from close range and broke the stealth bubble...." He smirked before disappearing again, now atop a city building... He began a sprint to the edge of the high building, but didn't stop... He simply continuous running, red panels forming beneath his feet as he defied gravity....

"Alrighty.. this is close to the location now.... If I continue this way I should be able to hone in on the spiritual pressures closest to my designated location.... Once I'm close enough I'll just sneak as close as possible and gather info... Chances of them finding me are about 24%... Chances of them moving is an unknown percentage... I usually don't risk it.. But I gotta..." He grunted before speeding up his sprint, now running on the panels as if he were on a track...

Hmm... Do I sense a prudish conservative? How far the apple has fallen from the tree. If Feiy believes in God, she's hardly voiced these opinions to me. Rhia laughed lightly at Zoraida's condemnation of heretics.

"Babble or not, I don't see the sense in waiting for some higher power to change your circumstances. After all, has your god sent one of his angels to guide you? No. He--or she-- has not. " She grinned at the pure irony. After all, wasn't she guiding Zoraida in a fashion? "It's good that you're taking the initiative. You'll find your daughters yet,"

Maybe I shouldn't leave her to her own devices... On one hand, Zoraida had most certainly killed a mortal. That was damning in its own right. On the other, this was Feiy's mother. Rhia wasn't about to turn her in. She was even leary of leaving her. Zoraida didn't sound too sure of modern technology. Though Rhia couldn't drive a car, she could at least work the internet. Would she make it alone? She's made it this far, but with a spiritual pressure like that, she's bound to attract some unsavory beings that frequent Karakura Town. Does she need protection?

I know she's a murderer, so does she warrent protection? Damned complications.

((er... are you following Zoraida and I? I think I'm just as confused as Yumi...))

[The new guys right.. I found the body and am now trailing Zoraida...xP
I'm carrying the body as proof.. And cause he's too much of a goody two- shoes to just leave a dead body somewhere for the cops to find....x3
And just for the record.. he's cloaked and you guys can't 'sense' him.. He feels like a low-level shinigami at the moment due to the ginto I used.... Edit your post please Nirro..^^]

Shio soon noticed he was being trailed now!! He turned his head down to get a look at the person.. He noticed it was Yumi and came to a skidding stop in mid-air... He skid to the edge of one of his panels before jumping down about 40 feet... He floated gracefully as he came down at the estimated point she'd reach in a few seconds...

He suddenly crashed on the ground with a thud, crouched down with the body over his shoulder... He looked up to see Yumi still running in his direction but then glanced at what was over his shoulder... "O-Oh god... She must think I killed this guy.... She couldn't think I could do such a thing though..R-Right...?" He seemed nervous again now.... "I'm in a hurry Yumi.... I could use your help though.. Y-Ya see.. I found this body.. but the souls missing.. presumed to be sucked out or extracted somehow... I think I have a relative location of where whoever did this is.... I have to stay on pursuit or they might leave... I'll gotta keep moving.. keep up if your coming!!" He chuckled nervously... making it seem as though he was lying to her.. In reality he was just afraid of what she'd think of his story...

He now ran down the street.. still with the body over his shoulder.. He closed his eyes and remembered he was at normal speed.. People could see him with the body and would start to stare so he had to speed up... "I hope she can do this too..." reishi gathered at his feet, giving off an invisible pulsation on the ground beneath his feet that only Yumi should have been able to see.... He then completely disappeared, his body moving so quickly after images were left to lead the way to where he was going..

This was Yumi's trail to follow.... It wouldn't be needed though. Shio came to a halt with the body.. turning to an alley on the street-side and putting the body just aside a dumpster where it could be hidden... He walked out from the alley and looked in front of him as a two lady's came to a turn... He looked at them for a few seconds before sensing that they were 'Stronger' then normal... One was human, but had spiritual powers like him.. The other was a shinigami like those he'd met a while ago... He used his speed to hurriedly disappear back into the alley.. now hiding behind the dumpster where the body was.... His reistu cloak broke suddenly... Now there was no sign of any reistu or reishi anywhere...

[Ok.. now he's like.. REALLY close to you too.. but he's hiding and you can't sense his reishi or reistu.. but you can, if you want, sense the reishi in his ginto.. or just plain feel his 'presence' hiding.. Also Zoraida can notice the dead body somehow as a bount... Only if you wanna find me though..]

(Zoraida is not spiritually perceptive at all, unless her doll is active. For reasons of not scaring people, she rarely does. Though that doesn't that Rhia can't track you... good luck with that, child)

"Well from what I've learned this God does seem to work in mysterious ways, it may not have sent an angel to guide me to my children... but it has helped me find a means to not kill myself from depression. God has given me hope in the form of your advice, and the other wonderful gifts that has been bestowed upon me. Doe all I known you could be that angel, little Rhia.

An angel doesn't have to have wings, they could just a caring person."

"Maybe my wings are folded," Rhia decided brush by the comment, close as it was to reality. "Or perhaps I've fallen," She added with a quick laugh and a smile that would put the sun to shame.

She wanted to keep Zoraida in a good mood. If she was anything like Feiy, she probably got depressed easily. Inexplicably, Rhia didn't want her to be sad.

Something moved in the alley to their left. It was just a glimmer of a spiritual pressure that would not have drawn any attention from anyone less sensitive than Rhia. Reiatsu sense and manipulation was her specialty, after all.

She would have disregarded the feeling as human, but the reiatsu didn't feel right. The glimmer was familiar, just as Zoraida's was, but this one had a different feeling. Another version of a spiritually-amplified human. It put her in mind of a Quincy.

In a moment, her reiatsu was entirely suppressed, though she was certain the entity in the alley had already sensed both her and Zoraida's pressures. Hopefully it wouldn't have gagued her power too closely and she still had an element of surprise should it attack. Her body tensed almost imperceptibly, and her smile didn't falter.

((not if I.. or Feiy.. get to him first XD))

"Here," Rhia said, working to keep her tone relaxed. "Here is fine. Now that I see the school, it's a bit tough to get lost, you know?"

She sat forward, still taking care of conceal her zanpaku-to as she unbuckled her seatbelt. The car was still moving, but she had an almost irrational worry that the entity--presumably a Quincy--would attack as soon as the vehicle was stopped. Rhia wanted to be unencumbered should the need to protect Zoraida arise.

"Thank you for helping me find my way," She told Zoraida with a disarming smile. She faught the urge to glance out the window. Sadistic vaizards, murdurous...human-things... what am I going to adopt next? An espada? Somehow this was morbidly humourous. I'm quite the traitor..

"Ah, well alright. I'll park here." She said, watching the traffic behind her as she went to the side to park against the curb.

"Please, be careful. The world is not a pleasant place, but I'm sure you know that already." She smiled, unlocking the passenger door. She left car running, as it was almost time for her to get another meal.
