Deep in the forests of the Spirit Realm, far out of reach of Soul Society and from any signs of "life", Hieh sat at the base of a large tree, going through a large sack nearly half his size, buldging with petrusions of odd shapes and hefty lumps.
"Crap, Crap, Crap, OOOOHH! Jackpot!!...crap, super crap,...WHY DID I EVEN TAKE THIS!?" The youth, his long blonde hair tucked behind his ears as he sifted through the large bag, tossed trinkets of brass and other shiny material aside, setting items of value next to him. Hieh stopped sifting through his prizes and looked to his right, his Zanpakuto, Touzoku, was propped against a smaller tree next to him. He sighed and shook his head lightly, still staring at the blade sheathed in its off-yellow ceramic coating.
"You know Touzoku, looking back on this plan now...how in the world is this going to get us anywhere? Half this stuff is that fat tub of lard's useless crap!" The blade itself seemed to give off a very faint humming noise, followed almost instantly by near-silent foot fall. A man, garbed completely in black, stepped from around the tree Hieh's Zanpakuto was propped against. He wore a short sleevless Gi, and hakama, trimmed in gold and held securely in place with a sash tightly wrapped around his lower abdomen and waist. His arms were covered in a tightly wrapped bandages and he wore black gloves, firmly secured to his forearms with three straps, his face and head was concealed under a large hood that flowed down his back into a cape that seemed to turn into a smoke colored mist around his ankles, only one shimmering golden eye was visible from under the hood.
"You Pawn it you half-wit. you sell what you take and buy more in order to take better things to pawn for more...But what we wish for money cannot provide...that which we seek must be taught by one who already possesses it." Hieh nodded, a small crooked smile crossing his face.
"So then...what do we have to do to get some attention around here?"
Touzoku's low scratch voice chuckled at Hieh's question. "We change our plans...instead of taking from that which is gone...we take that which gives one life, then take from those who's lives we have taken." Hieh smiled and chuckled at Touzoku's responce.
"Lavish living...here we come!"

"How many worlds are there? I mean, the Spirit World sends off a nearly infinite amount of Shinigami to each world. At least the ones it deems worth saving, but that's beside the point." He'd appear looking rather odd and out of place; his long black hair was kept behind him and his indigo hues gleamed like normal, but the tight black tank-top and loose black cargo pants ending in roughed up black steel-toed boots. This would make Hieh the first to actually see Kain's arms or rather muscle. He didn't look as scrawny as Kenpachi Zaraki, but by no means was he bulding. Just kinda...a little tone. It would also become blindingly obvious he was as pale as it got. As usual, Kain would merely lean back against a tree, fold his arms and cross his right leg over the left.
"All right, we're going to assume there's only a few worlds: This world, good ole' Spirit World. Then there's spokky ole' Hueco Mundo. And finally we have Earth. You? You like things. You like making things yours, and not just crap, but things that make you happy." He'd nod to the boy's bag and grin. "Sure, you stole a bunch of s**t. But you sell the s**t to buy the nice stuff. In the end you can by anything from nice houses to big meals to...lives. Hell, with the right direction and the right contacts you could have these three worlds!" He'd then clap his hands. "But that's not enough. There are rare, exquisite pieces of antiquity out there, things no one's ever seen...unless they've been there."
As per usual when he met his potential associates he had suppressed his Spiritual Pressure to that of a Seated level and no more. "Wouldn't it be nice to have the most lavish mansion in the worlds, the power to play Judge, Jury and Executioner without back-talk...to take from another world, currently sealed off, things of true worth?" He'd move from the tree and straight out his Zanpakuto, shifting it over to his left hip on his black leather belt. "I could give you, or rather give you the means to obtain whatever you want. What's it worth to you, boy?"

Hieh jumped to his feet when he heard the unknown voice. He grabbed Touzoku and took a firm stance, the physical from of his Zanpakuto dissapating into a plume of smoke that slithered into the hilt in an instant. First instinct was to claim his position in the 2nd squad, but this strange man's words held him back, he was right. Hieh lowered his sword, attached it to his belt and let his arms lower to his side, his sleeves flapping lightly over his wrists. Hieh listened, he listened to his man go on about the worlds, but mainly about the power. his eyes narrowed slightly, the thoughts of unquestioned authority racing to him, the true feeling of unlimited power and wealth. he closed his eyes and smirked slightly as the man finished.
"Sir, i have no idea who you are, and i havn't the slightest clue as to how you know so much about me when i havn't seen you about Soul Society...but to answer your question." He paused and looked up at the man, the smirk fading from his face.
"I would kill for that power."

"I know what I know about you because knowledge really is power. Whether it be knowing just when and where to swing the blade of a Zanpakuto or knowing how to twist the words of your enemy into a bewildering maze of doubt. In other words: I do my homework. Always. And it never ends; so long as there are souls there are souls for me to learn about." He'd snicker to himself, his eyes seeming to look through Hieh, through the tree as if daydreaming. The idea of infinite knowledge, and in the end, holding the strings to everything and everyone always forced him to lose himself in a world he saw as the future.
Once he'd snap back into reality he'd just smile and shake his head. "Everyone says they'd kill for this or that...so many that would kill in the name of some Sin, like Greed; Almighty Avarice." With that he'd release his Spiritual Pressure and allow it to flood the area, easily putting Captain, Arrancar and Vizard pressures to shame. He'd merely rotate his neck and after a loud POP he'd grip his Zanpakuto in his left hand. "Well boy, I got everything you could want and more. So...let's see you kill for it. Lemme see your resolve."

Hieh stood paralyzed at the sheer flow of spiritual pressure, his mouth agap and his breaths coming in quivers.
W-What is this guy...I've never felt...
Snap out of it! HE is the one we seek, though kill him we cannot, perhaps impress him we can, use me Hieh, use my power! The voice echoed though his head as it always did when Touzoku wasn't out. Hieh snapped back to reality, drawing Touzoku from his sheeth, and in a fluid motion spun then blade so that he was holding it backwards in his right hand, blade pointed down. He raised his other hand, placing it against Touzoku's blade.
"I need you to show me how to get that power...and i doubt i can kill you...but if it's a display of my power you want...BANKAI!" Upon his cry, Touzoku flashed brilliant gold, melting into a black mercury looking substance which slid up Hieh's sleeves and arms. The flash faded, Hieh stood now with a black substance coating his arms, each finger cased in diamond and clawed. On his chest and Shoulders he bore golden guards with a large diamond mounted inside his chest plate. His neck and lower face was obscured by a long black scarf with a tattered end and his eyes shimmered golden under the shade of the tree.
"Aka Kage Touzoku...Don't make me steal your life."
