[Hello network. It's your favorite cuddly Hollow jerk! He's in the men's wear store that the Bleachies have commandeered for their own, and he's looking pretty relaxed. But if you know him? You can tell he's... not really all that relaxed. There's a certain bit of tension hidden under that smile that only a few will pick up onSo. That damn tree

So what, you guys just hang around killing each other for shits and giggles?

[holeheart]

Well, fightin'. I don't think I can kill 'em. He's pretty strong.

[decanonized]

So the tasting your blood thing's just a what? Compliment?

[holeheart]

Heh! I suppose. Though I could certainly use the spirit energy in his blood. I'm fucking starving, here. But just because he bleeds don't mean he's gonna DIE! Che. Especially not with the captain of the fourth, here. She's the best healer in our world.

[Rukia takes a while to chime in, because as much as she so desperately hopes otherwise, she felt something too...]

...I don't think you were imagining it.

[holeheart]

... dammit. I was afraid of that. Was it... do you think it was him?

[snowwhitesoul]

Unless its a trick of the city, I...I have to believe it is. I'd rather err on the side of caution than not.

[holeheart]

Dammit. Dammit!! I was hoping my mind was just playing tricks on me... He can't be here. He can't be. It... no... I won't let it happen.

[ Video --> Private ]

[ Ichigo has paused in his fleeing from Kenpachi to huddle up near an air duct on a snowy rooftop. He looks really upset right now, and if it weren't for the snow, and trying to throw off anyone's reiatsu-sense who may be tracking him, he'd be asking Shiro to come find him, purely for the comfort of proximity. ]

Aa. I felt it.

[holeheart]

[Video; private forever unless otherwise stated]

Keh... are you still running from Kenpachi? You know his sense of direction is terrible.

..... this is bad.

[savior_n_black]

Yeah, but on the off chance he finds me, I have to make sure no one gets caught in the cross fire.

[ He still wants to see you, Shiro. ]

It was there, and then gone. Only thing I can figure is that Aizen is doing the same thing we did, and waiting until he figures out where he is before we hear more.

[ Frowning, Ichigo fidgets a bit. He was cold, and staying still wasn't helping that. ]

It was...different, though. Like, I could sense him, just for that quick minute, but...it wasn't the same as what I sensed back home. Something was...I dunno. Off.

[holeheart]

I want to fight him. If he finds you, I'll step in.

[He'll save you.]

Gck... why did you have to say it out loud... no doubt he's lying low. ... I felt that off feeling, too. Different.

[Shiro looks down, at his hands, then grabs his phone] I'm coming to find you. Don't move too fast.

[scorchingheaven]

Well, that explains why he was suddenly interested in me after I mentioned that I was used to life-or-death fights.

And the spike in energy. Yeesh.

[holeheart]

Oh yeah. He'd be real interested in you! But you need a sword first. Though I guess ya could try and fight him bare-handed.

He's strong. He has more raw power than any other person in Soul Society.

[scorchingheaven]

Yeah, don't think that crowbar's gonna do much against him if that's the case.

... kinda reminded me of Takeshi, to tell you the truth.

[holeheart]

No. You really need a sword. Else you'll end up pretty damn cut up. He's a monster! In a good way, heehehe.

Takeshi?

[ Yeah. Saw Zaraki. Took note of his weird priorities. Now assuming everyone from your world is some level of batshit. You and the Italians. Must be a foreigner thing to be crazy as fuck. ]

He's looking for your ginger friend. Didn't mention you.

[holeheart]

He doesn't know about me, yet, is why! Ichigo doesn't want to fight him, but I do.

[doomhoops]

He didn't notice you two attached as the chest? [ The soul chain thing was kind of hard to miss. ]

[holeheart]

That's not always visible. And he ain't the most perceptive anyway.
