Welcome to Gaia! ::

"i cant think of anything that i might of forgotten" willow had said after thinking about what she was missing. the voice with a sign said "*sign* i can't believe someone like you think you might deserve me when you can't even remember your own Zan..."

and just as the voice started to say that, willow realized IT was right, there was nothing attached to her hip. becoming wide eyed with realization of that she began searching on her body and around her in the bushes. "where is it? where did it go? i can't believe i could of lost i..." willow was saying to herself as the voice watched. *ha ha ha* the voice chuckling at this sudden panic.

willow stopped and turn her head as she had her back to the voice. "what are you laughing at, my captain is going to kill me if i can't find my zanpakuto." willow asked with a slight annoyance in her voice. the voice seemed to look at her with its piercing eye's penetrating her thoughts. "maybe you should look over there."the voice said "not there? what about over there? no could it be over here?"

willow becoming irritate now, hearing the voice mocking her had stop and began to approach the area of where the voice seemed to be. the voice asked "what do you think your doing? you think i might have it?....no that's not it. oh i see you thing i will tell you where YOUR Zanpakuto is."

she stopped and grabbed her head, "get out of my mind, you don't have no..." she started yelling as the voice continued her though for her "...right to be going through 'our' thoughts!" willow stopped and said "wait i was not going to say 'our though'"

the voice said "you still don't realize it do you? you can't find your own sword if you are looking where its not. YOU KNOW WHERE IT IS!" willow stopped "...what? what would you mean by that?"

((continued at squad four encampment at ryan's house back field

(Sorry I was in a rush and I kinda put things I didnt want to so sorry about that Yuan.)

Angel turned his head to Ogato "Nice to see you to buddy. Your the Captain now? Iv missed alot." He smiled and seemed tired. Turns out that deflecting a Cero, even with reiatsu, is hard. He backed up alittle but stood his ground "Sure I dont mind some help at all. Id like to see what you learned since I last saw you."

((yes it is. anyone know where sqd 4's encampment is localed...i.e.forum?))

((I know Ryan's house is holding most of the sereitei so you can try there, there's bound to be someone around to help you))
Ogato smiled and nodded in agreement with Angel then said, "Well we'll have to catch up once we're done here then." Ogato's eyesight was partially on Yuan when he noticed he was doing something strange. Knowing that Yuan was about to attack Ogato put his left hand on Angel's shoulder and said very quickly, "By the way good to here you want help, now this might hurt a bit." Ogato then lunged Angel aside and drew his zanpakuto simultaneously. As he drew his blade he channeled his reaitsu into it and swung at the Gran Rey Cero. As his blade collided with the blast Ogato used his reaitus to redirect it off to the side away from himself and the other shinigami around.

After the blast had passed Ogato took his zanpakuto in both hands and said, "Ru-Tuskiookami awaken." After speaking these words his zanpakuto began to glow. Before it took it's new shape Ogato swung it behind him with his right hand and said, "New moon!" Suddenly it rapidly transformed into a gauntlet similar to that of a wolf's claw. With his sight locked on Yuan Ogato said, "Now I don't like to talk much either but I'll say this. Squad 11 won't claim it's the strongest but weather or not we are I'm not doing down without a fight."

Ogato smiled then laughed at Angel. With a big grin on his face he said, "Sorry about that I was hoping to lighten up the mood but I see it only made you mad." Ogato moved next to Angel and blow off the remain dirt then smiled.

[oO wow... you guys really get going! I'm totally out of this! And now another arrancar's attacking my squad! leave us aloooone! Xd Jk. But now, what? Brief appearance and turn right around to defend my people? Blaaaah! And I have to come up with an explanation for not being around when Ogato showed up... I should be faster than him... whee ]

Shoot. It was here, again. That numbing fear that made Kurai freeze up, a long healed wound on the back of her neck twinge in half-remembered pain. That damned arrancar had really messed her up all those years ago. There was no doubt about it. The paralyzing fear was something she'd been fighting ever since the day Hawk had broken her.

It always started the same way. Her sensative nose would pick out the scent of arrancar bone, and it all spiraled out of control from there. Breath would creep toward hyperventilation, reiatsu would flare wildly, she wouldn't be in control. It was why she'd stopped now, about a half-mile from the battle in the park.

And how long had she been frozen? Long enough for her wounded, unseated squad member Willow to outstrip her. Move, move, move! Kurai urged her limbs into motion for the hundredth time in those few minutes.

Ogato could handle the arrancar, right? She wasn't needed. But if I don't go, I'll always be afraid.

So she tried moving again. But her fear, balling up in a suffocating wave in her chest, kept her from moving forward. Move!

This was gonna take a while.

((Edited. And yeah Kurai you should have been here already I know your faster than Ogato. I mean we had some cookies and milk, cake, pie, all that stuff. Lol jk))

Ogato ears twitched when he heard his name being stated. Turning around Ogato realized that it was Yamoto. Ogato waved frantically at Yamoto and yelled, "Hey Yamoto long time no see. It's like a reunion over here." Ogato put his arms down then said, "I know this guy isn't wroth fight but I was gonna give Angel a hand since he did kinda start the fight as far as I know. If you want to take over then that's up to Angel." Ogato turned to Angel and looked at him waiting for a response.

When felt Kurai's presence he walked over to her and pushed her. As soon as he got her attetion he said to her, "remember what I said back at camp, I don't but it was something like: make your own decisions."
