Welcome to Gaia! ::

Red walked along the glaciated sands of Hueco Mundo and started to tap into her spiritual power there was a spark of red energy and then a giant wave of it expanded from Red and engulfed the entire area, she was beginning to ‘clean house’ and repair this area of Hueco Mundo. It was where the weaker hollows resided for the most part and where a majority of them trained their basic abilities the air here was ripe with spiritual energy which helped the process along admirably and Red was happy to have been able to help even a little such people pleasing attributes were what made Red who she was and brought about her need to make everything perfect so people would be happy with her and not say things that were mean to her. Red was busy focusing on fixing this place up and she could feel Dragon starting to stir. She was keeping watch for anything that would mistake Red as a meal, and in turn her. Red meant well in everything that she did but she was a total powder puff when it came to fighting something that Dragon disapproved of but Red was her little sister so she had to protect her and by extension herself. There was a bit of stirring out there at the giant visible dome of red energy dissipated and the Sands were back to what they once were instead of the glass they had been turned into by Heru Khalid.

Byakuran had only just left the area of Castle Dark Flame along with Sesshomaru. However, they went their own separate ways after leaving the front gates. Sesshomaru has simply walked off, silent and cold as ever while Byakuran had greeted a visitor, Belial. He had come to join the OOTDF of his own free will so Byakuran had let him in and directed him on where to find Ryuu. After that, he simply left via Sonido to go searching for a new recruit. He was looking for a certain Ralop Eci, a lonely little hollow with an affinity for the frosty element of ice. How did Byakuran know this all already? Who knows. The more important matter being that he already knew when and where to find the frustrated little hollow and he already knew why he was so frustrated as well. He smiled as Ralop came into view and he simply continued to walk closer towards the weaker hollow. "Hello~ You must be Ralop-kun~" Byakuran's smooth voice called out as he got closer. "I'm Byakuran and I'm here to help you~"

Byakuran only met the glare at him with a simple smile. Getting a majorly different reaction from him was fairly difficult given his relatively laid back manner. He was likely the most disarming of the Governors of Death that served the Grim Reaper, just because of his strangely calming and welcoming personality. He looked at Ralop and had expected the suspicions to his seemingly selfless offer to the small hollow. "Well I know your name because we have already met each other Ralop-kun~ Just not in this time~ I'm here to help you figure out how to make one of these actually~" He smiled and tapped the air beside him as a garganta then began to open up from the pint he touched. After a moment, the gateway closed and he just smiled to Ralop. "And I'll even do it free of charge~"

Byakuran smiled and watched as Ralop began to circle him and the sample garganta he had created for him. He had already expected this and knew full well that a simple up close demonstration was all the hollow needed to manage his own garganta. "You're very much welcome Ralop-kun~" He smiled down at the small hollow before he started to crouch down to his level. Once he was lower, he gently placed his hand upon the cat like hollow's head and started to scratch him behind the ears. He already knew Ralop enjoyed this sort of thing and he didn't mind the small ice shavings that would end up under his nails at all. He just smiled and continued to scratch behind his ears. "You must feel so lonely out here all by yourself Ralop-kun~" He commented casually, though still in his usual near pleasant tone of voice. "How would you like to have a whole bunch of new friends and a home to call your own~?"

Byakuran smiled at Ralop as his paws kneaded at the sand and head pushed his head into Byakuran's scratching fingers. It was the reaction that had been expected from the lonesome cat like hollow. Byakuran looked at him with a smile even as Ralop pulled away from his hand to look up at him. He was about to set the condition to his acceptance Byakuran was waiting to hear. "Yeah, just as long as none of them see me as a way to gaining power by eating or killing me." Byakuran simply smiled and even chuckled lightly at Ralop. "Oh Ralop-kun, don't be silly~ None of them would do something as silly as that~ There's greater power in groups than there is in a single person~ That's the whole point of working together Ralop-kun~ Come with me and together we can help to create a new world~ One better than this one and less lonely for people like you~" He smiled and stood up straight. "If you accept, I can take you to one of the castles and introduce you to some of the family~ Although most of them are out doing things for the better of the group, some of them are still home~"

Byakuran smiles at Ralop as he made what was close enough to a smile given his current form that he could make. the cat likw hollow scratched himself behind the back of his ears with a hind leg, reforming the small patch of scratched away ice on his head back to normal. He smiled in approval as Ralop nodded his head and accepted Byakuran's offer to him. Mission complete. He had successfully recruited another ally for the Order. He was now ready to head back to the castle and introduce him to everyone that was still there. Odds were that Ryuu had either already left, or was on his way to do so now. After all, whith Soul Society being invaded by the most powerful hollow and arrancar in all of Hueco Mundo, there were several circumstantial benefits to be had in joining in on such, even if it wasn't part of the original plans. Both Ryuu and Byakuran, as well as at least half the other Governors, would know full well that this battle would not end with a complete victory due to lack of proper planning. However, this would still cripple the shinigami and it was the perfect chance for Ryuu to personally scout out the seireitei for his own plans as well as do some preliminary damage himself. He was in no danger after all considering he could never die and literally bring himself back to life. After all, if the Grim Reaper could die, then the meaning of Death would be destroyed. Byakuran looked back at Ralop before pointing in the direction he had come from. "Alright then Ralop-kun, I'm glad you accept~ You can follow me this way to the castle then~" He smiled to the other hollow then before he started to walk off through the sands in the direction of Castle Dark Flame to introduce Ralop to the rest of the group that was still there.

Kiyoshi hovered a few feet from the ground, her wings flapping every so often to keep her in mid-air. “The nerve of that woman… She’s going to get herself killed one day…. Hopefully by someone more power hungry then she is….” She said out loud. The more she thought about that stupid woman, the angrier she got. “Grrr WHAT’S WRONG WITH PEOPLE THESE DAYS!?!?!” She put her hands into her hair, not knowing what else to do. A few weak hollows nearby heard the commotion and just slowly stepped away until she let out another bellow and they all scattered. “I hate this stupid life… Everything was all fine and dandy, until HE showed up and now everything is just plain shitty…” She sighed, not knowing what else she would or could do. She was tired of trying to be recruited for people she didn’t much like or even know for that matter. “Wait… what did he say she had?” She tried to remember as she began looking up at the dark sky. Her eyes widened as she remember. “Oh no… I know and they might come after me. s**t… What am I going to do now?”

“ Oh dear! Oh my! What am I going to do!” Kiyoshi ranted on, grasping the situation. “I know about the shinigami scrolls… What will happen to me! I don’t know what I’m going to do! Wait… if that Marluxia guy hasn’t remembered I know about the scrolls… then maybe I’m okay for a little bit?” She had a somewhat serious look on her face as she thought about it more. Her eyes then got all watery like she was about to cry. “but… Marluxia is the silent assassin… If he figures out I know about the Shinigami scrolls… then he’ll surly come after me…” She stayed afloat for a few minutes before hearing the male voice behind her. “EEP!” she screamed as her entire body went timid. She quickly turned around, her eyes closed, but still making a rather cute angry face. “What’s the nerve sneaking up on a lady like that! You-“ She opened her eyes and blinked a few times. “You’re… a shinigami… Gah!” She quickly launched herself into the sand, only to get her mouth full of sand. “Ew...” she said as she spat the sand out of her mouth. She then looked at the shinigami, standing up quickly and brushing the sand off her clothes. “It’s still not nice to sneak up on a lady like that. You should apologize.” She then started getting sand out of her hair, which turned out to be impossible while standing upright. “Not that you really need to and I’m not even sure they are after me…” She then crossed her arms and looked down. “but they have something very valuable to the Shinigami… Kind of pathetic… stealing stuff from others when they can’t even get power the old fashion way. They have to steal it from others… Hollows these days have no sense in pride!” She then realized she was ranting to a Shinigami about her own kind. Her cheeks turned a light shade of pink and she rubbed the back of her head. “U-Um… w-well, you look lost. Hey, I’ll make you a deal. Don’t kill me and I’ll get you out of here? Hehe.”
