((Ebilcohort, could you possibly add Xiao Lang and Ichigo to the list, and change the timing to after Mother's Day? Thanks. ♥))

It sounded like... a song.

Ying Fa couldn't really tell what it was. But it wasn't like she cared. She just heard it, and wanted nothing more than to find whatever it was that was calling her. And so she rose; knees shaky at first, but she managed to steady herself and start walking. One, two, three steps. Very slowly, but she was getting there. Four, five, six steps. Freedom was within her grasp now.

She reached out for the doorknob.

Unfortunately, that was when Ichigo opened the door

"I have... to go..."

Ying Fa's green eyes were blank, and her voice somewhat monotonous. In some kind of trance. Because she didn't really care about anything else right now, other than finding the source of the sweet, melodious song that was tugging her heartstrings and pulling her away with its notes. And so she continued on, walking past Ichigo, determined to get away.

But then the door suddenly slammed shut.

That seemed to startle her, just a little. She fumbled for the doorknob and twisted it, but the door wouldn't open. If the Card Mistres had been herself, she would've been able to sense that it had been magically locked from the inside; Xiao Lang, after all, had The Lock under his power now.

She turned back around, blank eyes staring at Ichigo. "Open it."

Ichigo raised an eyebrow at her behavior. The way she acted almost reminded him of... no, that wasn't right. Besides, she still looked human and felt human. He wasn't adept at sensing reiatsu, but he could at least differentiate it, and feel if someone was powerful or not.

She was acting damn similar to a demi-hollow though.

"Look, if you need to go to the bathroom, we have one here damnit." Of course, he knew that wasn't the case, but the sarcasm helped lessen the feeling of foreboding that was filling his senses at her behavior.
