Welcome to Gaia! ::

She readjusted her eye patch and shook her head " don't wiry about it" she thought to herself ' I wonder if he's still mad at me....'

[[o.O huh??? Whut??? I was just replying.... I'm actually kinda lost too...not that it's actually any of my concern XD]]

Setsuko could feel the remaining presence of the others that she hadn't met yet but she couldn't pull herself out to explain. She wandered in her inner-world that resembled a dense forest. The same cackling disrupted the soothing silence sending a urgent signal in the back of her head. Reaching even further into the darkness she half stepped into a clearing. Hovering under the shadows in caution she peers out to see the same figure that uttered the name of her Zanpakuto, Kurushimeru. "Oh little Setsu how you've grown, yet still craving to fight..." Kurushimeru stood tall and skinny with black hair covering the indecent parts of her body... "You were always such the free spirited Kurushimeru.." Setsuko voice wreaked of turmoil.

Kurushimeru grinned wildly and examined Kyomaru from head to toe. "Oh my, how tastey Setsu. You've been holding more then myself back." She then motioned for Setsuko to come to her. "Practice what you preach!" Kurushimeru let out a full mockingly laughter. Setsuko growled and made her way to Kurushimeru. Standing in front of her made her always feel so conflicted. Made sense since her Zanpakuto was 'Torment' but even she had trouble harnessing the unruly methods. Kurushimeru took to opportunity to break Setsuko's thoughts, "I'm a bit disappointed in you Setsu. Why hold back when I can teach you the real meaning to your Shikai..." Setsuko felt the coldness of Kuru's hand against her cheek. "What do you mean?! I thought I had already developed it!" Kurushimeru gave wicked smirk then turned to Kyomaru, "We'll just be a minute cutie." She let out a sinister chuckle. Setsuko lost in her words she felt a sharp pain insert in the back of her neck... "Now, well lets revisit how WE killed your Hollow mother with the real Shikai you've forgotten so long ago... release..."

"Tsk tsk Kyokyo, you should know better then to interrupt in teacher student affairs." She placed her cold hand out in front of him and watched over Setsuko. The whispered to Kyomaru "Do you really think I would destroy my wielder, give me some credit. She chooses if she's worthy." Setsuko's whole body burned from the inside as she gave a gut wrenching scream. She curled up on the ground as flashes of images began molding together. "Let it consume you, accept it and it be much easier for you and I." Kurushimeru scowled trying to hide her sense of encouragement. Setsuko eyes were blank and then dead. Her body gave into the torture racking the insides of her body and was seeing her small self cowering before her Hollow mother. She was going to die but then she saw Kurushimeru standing between them, that's the first time. The rest had all been blank, blocked out since that day.. until now. Her smaller self stood in trance with her Zanpakuto dripping with red energy. "Naibu Jigoku-en!!" the flames blasted towards the hollow and absorbed into it. Consuming it with flames from the inside causing it to slowly come to it's demise... small Setsu then fell forward unconscious with Zanpakuto in hand...

Shinja was able to defeat her inner hollow and got out of her inner world she then sighed and looked over to the kyomaru and setsu who was in her world she didnt know wat to do but she got up, put her hand on setsu's head and went into setsu's world to see wat was going on.

Setsuko's vision started blurring into a familiar face. Sweat drenching her body and completely exhausted she gave a goofy grin. "Why is it when I'm coming to I'm always in your arms..." she chuckled. She focused more and sat up holding the back of her neck. "Kurushimeru, you couldn't have been more subtle?" she glared at the figure taking in the scene before her like some kind of twisted perv. "Ugh.. never mind." Setsuko pulled herlsef to her feet. "So did you find it child?" Kuru was nothing but stained in seriousness. "Yes..." Setsuko met her gaze knowing she had to trust in her Zanpakuto. Kurushimeru licked her lips and vanished with a small trail of laughter. Setsuko then turned to Kyomaru blinking at the tear on his cheek in amaze.
