The sun is finally starting to rise, but I've been awake for hours already. I don't know why I couldn't go back to sleep after I woke up in the dead of night. Nothing worked, I just couldn't go back to sleep...So I started training and practicing, hoping a bit of exercise would help tire me out. It hasn't of course, otherwise I wouldn't still be practicing this same swing with a few weights around my wrists and arms.

I swear I've ran around most of the kuchiki estate by now. But I'm not any more tired than I was when I woke up. I sigh, my breath making a faint white cloud in front of my lips, the cold air burning my mouth as I stop swinging. Cold air really does help clear the mind, and the snow under my feet doesn't feel as cold as what I'm breathing. The soft air sends my ponytail bobbing as I stand here, alone in slowly rising sun's light, its heat feeling like a faint kiss on my cheeks.

I close my eyes, trying to enjoy this fleeting moment, gone so fast, but worth more than any riches. I smile happily, forgetting the sleep that's been troubling my mind for a moment or two.

Until the silence is broken by a pair of footsteps behind me, a servant rushing to today's work no doubt. Maybe even to make breakfast, I'm pretty hungry from trying to run myself ragged for the last few hours...commanding others, I wonder what's that like.

I frown deeply and open my eyes as that feeling scratching at the back of my head grows stronger, fueled by that single stray thought, my heart beating and drumming faster as I realize why exactly I can't sleep. the reason I've been trying to ignore.

Stress. I'm not really used to feeling it, so I guess I didn't notice what it was at first but...I see it now. Doubt, can I really be in a position like this? Leading others and commanding them? Sure its a minor position, but the most I ever did in life that I can remember was leading a few friends and comrades in charges or fortification...or Poetry. I don't think I was ever actually given this sort of authority and responsibility before without just naturally falling into it when things went to shit.

Am I really cut out for it? I mean I know in this life and a few times in my old one I have lead but...still I'm a little nervous and stressed. I don't want to make a mistake or mess this up somehow.

I'm probably worrying about nothing, but I just can't shake this feeling of...dread?

What do I do?
[] get something to eat before heading to the barracks, see if that helps
[] talk with Byakuya about it, waking him up to do so.
[] Sigh, and laugh at myself. I'm sure I'll do fine, I just need to stop thinking I won't be

I sigh, as I turn and open my eyes, as the smell of cooking meat makes me realize just how hungry I am right now. And I laugh, at myself, dropping my arms and letting the weights on them fall to the ground as I sheath my zanpakuto and begin to head off to try and see if I can get a quick meal before I head off to the barracks.

Smells like pork to, my favorite. I hope they leave some more fat on it this time, that always seems to make it taste better. Well, I'm sure it'll be as extravagant as it usually is. Just hope I can get enough of it, don't need to spend the day with an empty stomach after all. And besides a full stomach would probably do me some good and help me get over this.

I mean, I'm sure I'll do fine, I just need to stop thinking I won't and I'll stop feeling like this. But some food will definitely help distract me.

Walking along the porch, every step I take echoing around me as I make my way through the gardens, and head inside the actual manner, taking the quickest way I know to the dining room, my stomach growling hungrily as I try and pick up the pace a bit.

Thankfully, it seems most of the servants are still asleep, so I don't have to worry about running into anyone in my rush to eat. I'm practically sprinting now, running past all the beautifully sculpted and painted art lining the hallways.

I don't even know what I was so worried about, I'm sure I'll do fine. I always do after all.
-

The gates to the sixth's barracks stand before me, wide open. I can see some of the unseated Shinigami practicing, being drilled by one of my fellow officers, I think he outranks me, but I've never thought to find out.

I walk in, and instantly feel people staring, weather from jealousy, curiosity or something else, I don't really care enough to think to deeply on it.

What do I do?
[] Join the drills
[] Ask Ginrei what my duties are, just to be sure
[] Check in with the duties officer

But it is pretty annoying, having all these people looking at me with different kinds of stares. Kind of pisses me off actually. I stop, standing halfway up the stairs leading into the barracks themselves, and turn around to face the gawkers, grimacing and showing my teeth as I glare at the envious looking ones and lean my head back

"The hell you lookin at?" I ask, deepening my voice, looking pretty intimidating I think, at least judging by how quickly the newer soul reapers look away from me "Tch"

I smile happily and chuckle as I walk up the stairs leading to the second floor and teasingly say "What? it was just a question"

Shaking my head, I stand at the back of the short line outside of the duty officer's office, staring ahead blankly as I watch it slowly shrink and vanish away.

"Ah Kemuri, glad to see your hair hasn't turned white with stress Ah" the officer says laughing as he sees "Oh, what a shame, seems it has"

"Shut it" I chuckle as I walk up to him "You have no idea how much I heard that same kind of joke in life"

"Well you're laughing" He says dully, grabbing a paper from the middle of a stack of them, looking up and down it quickly as he adjusts his glasses "but lets be serious now, no time for jokes"

"Of course, so what do I have to do today anyways?" I ask, leaning against the open door frame as he flips through a few more papers, like he's thinking.

"Oh" He says smiling widely "OH"

"Oh no?" I say just in case as he grins for the first time since I've met him

"Seems you're to escort some academy students in the world of the living, along with a handful of other shinigami" He says happily, teasingly as I smile "Two unseated and your friend, Shōmei, be sure to keep them safe would you?"

What do I say?
[] Understood, I'll do my best
[] I have to watch a bunch of brats, alright
[] Oh, last time I went out like this I killed a menos, wonder it'll happen again
[] Hmm, Well, always happy to teach
[]What's so funny about it? You gone mad?
[]Oh, well that should be fun

"Understood" I say standing back up straight, gripping the hilt of Ryūketsu no kōtei "I'll do my best but...last time I went out on one of these field trips I killed a menos, wonder if it'll happen again"

"Lets hope not" the officer says, handing me a small hell butterfly, which flutters past my outstretched hand and up my sleeve "Good luck out there"

"Thank you, but luck isn't anything to rely on" I say calmly as I turn my back to him, and walk out of his office, down the stairs again, around the drilling shinigami, and out of the barracks.

Heading to the academy I left sooner than any one else. I smirk, seeing it on the horizon as I start to march my way there.

"Oh Kemuri" Tora says, pulling her eye patch over her missing eye calmly as the two other shinigami freeze up and stand at attention "You're a bit later than I expected you to be"

"Its a long walk, Shomei" I say, looking into her one eye "But my apologies, I could've came faster....so where are the students"

"They have yet to arrive" Tora says softly as the tall soul reaper behind her smiles

"I'm sure they'll be here soon, Miss Shomei" He says, sweetly.

"Well" the bigger, wider shinigami says calmly "It'll be an honor fighting besides the hound of the kuchiki"

"Personally I just want to see what is fact, and what is fiction about her" the tall one says to the stout, bearded one.

What do I do?
[] Try to not look as scary as usual
[] Bluntly tell them what is fact
[] Get to know these two soul reapers
[] stand at attention, and when the students come, command them like soldiers
[] chat with Tora
[] Mess with them a bit
[] So, any idea why this city we keep heading to is so filled with hollows
[] Tell them to follow my orders, and make it clear I will report any insubordination

I smile, trying my best to not look as scary as I always do, Since I want to have a good first impression with these students. But I don't think it works, since the ones gathering under the other soul reapers seem to try and keep their distance from me and look away, turning pale as I grin widely and try to look as relaxed as I can. I think I send a few of the younger ones running, but I try to not pay attention to that.

"How scary do I look anyways?" I ask, frowning as I stop trying and stare at the white flowers dotting the gross

"Do you want an honest answer?" the stout shinigami asks

"I mean...you just have one of those smiles, Lady" the tall one chuckles nervously "So"

"You're wondering what's actually true about me?" I ask smirking, as the tall one smiles, looking a little nervous as the stout one scratches his beard calmly "Oh well I suppose I could tell you"

The tall one leans closer to me as I grin and cackle mischeviously, sounding just a little like Aya does I think...I'm probably wrong though.

"Well yes this is my natural hair color, no idea why my eyes are like this" I say as his eyes slowly dim and his smile droops and begins to vanish before my eyes "My favorite food is pork, I'm still single, Never had a pet of any sort, Prefer sake to tea annnnd lets see....Oh yes, I do enjoy making poetry, that bit is true as well"

He slumps over as the stout one laughs

"Don't think that's what he wanted" he says with a smirk as the tall one growls as Tora continues her silence, standing by my side, barely reacting to what's happening just next to her

"Okay, I meant....actually stuff, not just something you'd see on a wedding registry" He groans as I frown

"I mean it was all the truth....lets see do you mean the rumors everyone makes up about me?" I ask dully "Well, I'll let you in on a little secret"

"Oh?" He asks, leaning closer as I get up on my toes to whisper into his ear

"Most of them are horsecrap" I say calmly "especially anything to do with a collar or marriage, and other crap like that"

"You know it isn't polite to dig into other peoples business" the short one grunts

"Thank you" I say happily "Hey I didn't catch either of your names did I?"

"Wan, Shoto Wan, I come from a family similar sized and I can still fight despite it so don't get any ideas" the beard one snorts crossing his arms

"And I'm Kaba, Noki Kaba" the tall one says with a grin "And we both know who you are"

"Especially after all of that" Wan chuckles "And to be fair, No hobbies, I prefer training and killing hollows, don't see the point in art or anything like that, and I have a great deal of respect for you and your masters"

"And I just like rumors and idle chit chat" Kaba says happily

"Wonderful" I say warmly, making both of them jump in surprise "What I'm not as scary as I look you know? Also, either of you have any idea why the city we keep being sent to is so filled with hollows"

"....Good hunting ground?" Wan says

Cont

>>969835

"Maybe they're after you?" Kaba cackles


"Its a large city, people die everyday nothing to out of the ordinary" Tora says calmly as three figures dressed in the academy uniforms walk up to us.

A....fat girl, and skinny boy, and an Old looking man...who's strangely familiar.

all three pause when they seem me

What do I do?
[] try and figure out why he looks familiar
[] let Tora, Wan and Kaba brief them
[] Introduce myself, and ask if they're ready to kill hollows
[] Size them up and ask how well they can fight
[] Sing a poem to try and break the ice

[] Oni's smoke behind them, and tell them they're late

That crazy bastard actually did it.

I frown, and tilt my head, staring at the old man in the middle, his face tanned and looking like dirt from working under the sun for who knows how long. His face is covered in a rough, recently shaven stubble, with a scar running from his lips and yellowed teeth which are reavealed by his polite smile. I frown a bit deeper, and begin to rub my chin in thought as the old man frowns, losing the look of a thug and resembling more of a maiden last on the road and. Then it hits me, not long ago at all I met this man, when I had lost most of myself and was confused and....He was the first person I met in the new life of my

"Hone Sutorīto" I say warmly as he grins again

"Smoke" He chuckles, holding his arms out, as I frown, my skin peeling and flaking away like burning embers as I turn to smoke and flow around him and the two others

"You're late, all of you are" I say sternly as all three shriek and hug eachother

Wan and Kaba Laugh, and Tora just smirks.

What do I do?
[] Head to the Senkaimon without a word
[] Catch up with Hone Sutorīto and learn his first name
[]Chew them out and scold them
[] Tell them to stick close to me and the other shinigami and not to wander
[] split up into groups
[] Hey, you could just use the name you wanted to give me
[] What? I'm not mad at any of you, you would know if I was

"What?" I ask, smiling myself as I lean over them, holding my zanpakuto on my shoulders as I look down at them "I'm not mad, you would know if I was, Trust me"

"That's a relief" the skinny boy squeaks as the big girl keeps covering her face

"You sounded angry" she whimpers, trying not to look at my face too long "I..I just...well I didn't think you'd just turn into smoke like that"

"Well it is in her name" Wan chuckles as the old man smiles

"It is her last name" He says happily "Glad to see you again by the way, heard you've been making yourself quite the reputation"

"that's an understatement" Kaba says, sounding as excited as he says everyword...is that just how he talks

"How?" Tora asks dully "she has been gaining one, and nothing more"

"Er...so we're going to kill hollows then?" The skinny boy asks, rubbing his arm

I look him up and down, he's scrawny and like a twig, the girl is fat and honestly seems like she's easily spooked like some kind of rabbit, and Hone Sutorīto is....well he's on in his years already. Still, from my experience in the soul society, one's body really doesn't matter at all.

"How well can you fight?" I ask dully

"Well...I can" the skinny boy says scratching the back of his head "Still learning but the teachers say I have some talent with a blade"

"I can't move fast enough for that sort of fighting, but I'm skilled with kido" The fat girl says, grinning and giving me a thumbs up

I look at Hone

He looks back at me like a cow in a field, and shrugs.

I sigh and frown as I begin to head off

"Well, don't get cocky or overestimate yourselves' I say calmly "Or underestimate your prey, both are fatal mistakes, just stick close to me and the others and don't wander off on your own"

"So...what's your name if you don't me asking?" the skinny boy asks tora who smiles

"Shomei tora" She says sweetly

The white gate of pure light somehow seems more foreboding this time, even the members of the kido corp standing around it, having just opened it in front of the sparkling awe filled eyes of these green shinigami in training, seem strangely...intimidating. I've gone through Senkaimon plenty of times already, but never as a commanding officer.

There's a bit of pressure I will admit, and I have the various reports and bounties of the hollows that have been active lately in my hands, holding it up like a map as my fellows stand behind me, and behind them, the trainees we're escorting behind them.


"Now remember" Wan says sternly "Do not think these beasts fight with honor, they will take the chance to devour you if they can, so you must show no mercy in turn"

"And don't fight them head on, none of you are strong enough for that to be a sure victory" I say, stuffing the various papers into my kimono as I turn around to face them, having barely read them"Don't take a chance and face their teeth, go from behind if you can, and always go for the neck and back of the mask, also"

I narrow my eyes, looking at the three students seriously.

"Do not break their mask if you can help it, go for the kill, not the humiliation or maiming" I say calmly "While crippling them is a great idea and really helps, if there's a kill you can make easily, take it and once again, don't get Cocky and remember your training, and don't ever chase down a running hollow, it could lead you right into a trap. Just be paitent, be calm, and don't do anything stupid and we'll all come back alive, I'm sure of it"

"U...understood" the fat one says saluting

"Do you have any other advice?" the skinny boy asks, raising his hand as the old man nods and doesn't say a thing

"Yes in fact, as with any battle, fighting hollows relies on many things, don't assume because you have full soul reapers, two of which who are seated officers mean you're safe, always be on guard and expect the unexpected, that weak hollow might be hiding some trick or bring on a truly threatening beast" I say calmly as I walk up to the gate "Now come on, we have hollows to purge"

Who do I bring with me to track down the hollow, and who do I use to set up the ambush
[] Tora with me, the rest at the ambush

There's a flash of white, and I feel like I'm falling. I finish my step, walking onto a rain slicked road, surrounded by buildings and people rushing from here to there, going about their days unaware of me and the others. Or the monsters no doubt hunting them from the shadows.

I tap my sandal, looking around the street as Tora steps next to me calmly, followed by Wan and Kaba. The fat girl yelps, and Wan catches her as she trips through the gate, nearly knocking over the skinny boy and Old man. I glare at her and sigh.

These cross roads we've stepped out into are perfect for an ambush, now we just have to find a hollow. Rain patters around me as I look down at the girl and smirk.

"You three with me" I Command, standing up to my full heigh, pointing at them then myself "Shomei, Shoto, Noki, you set up an ambush here"

"Understood!" Wan shouts, bowing as he stomps off to the other end of the street

"As you wish" Tora says calmly "But wouldn't it be better to bring me and keep the students here"

"I thought of that" I say calmly "But we might scare away hollows they can fight if both of us go out, just one of us going is better and..."

"You want to be in the action" Tora says dully as I smile and nod

"Well good luck out there' Kaba says calmly "try not to make us wait too long"

"Oh how exciting" Old man Bone street says cheerfully "We're going to track down a hollow aren't we? I've been waiting for this since I signed up"

"Don't get to enthusiastic" the skinny boy says "We are hunting hollows after all"

"And we have Kemuri here, the fastest graduate the academy has ever seen" the old man says grinning

"Yeah that does make me feel a bit safer" the fat girl says, trying to smile as I lead them down the street.

They follow behind me like ducklings.

What do I do?
[] Find the hollow myself 1d20+spirit or int
[] let them try and find it
[] Ask them if they've ever seen a hollow before?
[] Decide to see if they can make a spirit pass on
[]Get them in proper formation.
[] Show them signs of hollow activity
[] try and have an idle conversation with them

"So have any of you actually seen a hollow before?" I ask calmly, stopping outside of a bar filled with patrons and noise.

"Of course not" the fat girl says, standing next to me as I look down at her "How could we? we've never left the soul society before"

"Well I've seen them in books, but like she said, never actually saw one or had the chance to" the skinny boy says standing on my other side, looking down the street where I'm looking at nothing in particular

"What do you think?" The old timer asks, scratching his face as I sigh, and tap my fingers on my zanpakuto's broken sheath

"Do you know the signs of one?" I say as I walk forward "Come on, I'll show you, and get in proper formation, you two on the sides, and him in the back"

They nod and without a word follow my orders as I walk across the street, to the alleyway right across from me

"First, always look for the obvious signs' I say calmly, running my hands along the claw marks on the wall "One of them was here, and it devoured a soul no doubt, the second part is looking for a lack of spirits, which isn't exactly the most reliable unless you're in a place that you know should be teeming with them, there are others signs as well, since the living will notice at some point, people vanishing and leaving behind only pools of blood, Boarded up windows and doors are also a good sign, as well as people looking for lost friends or family memebers, asking around or putting signs up for them"

"Should we be taking notes?" the skinny boy asks as the fat girl shakes her head

"You can't remember that? its all pretty easy to remember" She says teasingly as the boy sighs

"Notes make things easier" He says flatly as the old man looks at me intently, waiting for me to continue

"Don't interrupt me" I say sternly, gripping my Blade tightly as they shut up and turn back to me "Now as I was saying, if you're perceptive enough you can just feel when they're around, since they're...well the best way to explain it is that hollows feel like emptiness, nothing...besides hunger maybe, got all that"

They nod and I smile.

"Good, now see if you can find one" I say happily the girl jolting as the boy and man nod.

"What's your problem?" I ask, looking down at the girl as she tries to avoid looking me in the eyes "You don't seem like the kind who'd want to be a soul reaper"

"I know, I'm just nervous is all, I'm not good with a sword like Toki-san" She mumbles under her breathing, avoid my eyes whenever I try to look into hers "And I've never been good at fighting, I'm just good with kido and...well you're kind of scary"

"I always get that" I say finally looking her in her eyes "And kido can help in a fight, not everything is decided by how well you can wield your sword, just don't panic and run off on me okay?

She nods as the old man groan's, pressing his hand on his forehead for...some reason. His face is red and twisted with effort as the skinny boy opens his eyes and looks around.

"I think I felt something over here" he says, as I follow him, shaking the old man's shoulder and motioning the girl to follow me.

the boy sighs, and looks around nervously...guess he lost it
-
20+20+4= 44!= FUCKING GRAND SUCCESS!+ DOUBLE CRIT
-

I smile, and push the old man from bone street a bit to the side. He huffs and rubs his chin walking around, no doubt looking for signs of the hollow.

Just as I planned. I didn't point it out, but there are footprints in the street, massive track that fit perfectly for a hollow.

And he nearly trips in one

"Koeda!" He shouts cheerfully "I found a track, I think the thing headed over ehre"

"I told you to stop calling me that?" the boy growls as the girl walks over to inspect the track "And how did we miss this"

"Maybe it made them while we were in the alleyway...I mean we would've heard it if" She begins as I walk up behind them and step in one of the tracks further along that's become a puddle

"Hmm" I say lifting my foot up, hoping they'd notice

"No" the boy says shaking his head "Kemuri would have noticed if it was...and that sounded like too much water for a recently made step"

"Yeah, I'm just working myself up I guess" the girl laughs "So...they've been here for at least long enough to fill up with rain, how do we know its still around"

"We don't" I say flatly "We just know it went this way...but hollows don't generally don't go far from their hunting grounds, So I say we follow them"

"And I felt it in this direction!" the boy shouts, running down the tracks as I follow him.

We come a small garden, with trees growing from the sides. and they get lost again. So I pretend to admire one of the flowers and.

"What are you!" the boy shouts and gasps "AH!...Ah!

"Hey don't stare" I say, trying not to laugh as he points at the claw marks running along the tree.

I turn and smile as I hear him fall over, seeing the marks on the buildings behind them, leading up to the roof

"Hey what's wrong?" the fat girl asks, helping him up

"LOOK!" He shouts as I smile proudly

"What are...oh...oh!" the girl says as he slowly guides her eyes up the path

>>970148
"Stop being so innatentive" the boy sighs, looking at me, but he backs down when I just narrow my eyes and step towards him "the signs are right in front of you"

And I already know where the hollow is.

"Sorry" the girl says looking at her feet "But I'm just not...well I guess you two just have better eyes than I do"

"Oh, we're just getting lucky" the old man laughs

"Don't sell yourself short" I say warmly "You've all been really perceptive, and I think we're getting close now"

"What makes you think that?' the girl asks, as I put my hands on the fresh cuts of the tree, feeling its wet, green insides.

"These marks are fresher, it probably came here to rest or hide' I say calmly "Now we just need to find where those tracks lead, right?"

I turn back waiting for an answer, and the boy nods

"I don't think its far either, it looks far too planned to me" the boy grumbles as I shunpo away

And they struggle to keep up, I groan as I have to pull the girl up as she nearly slips off the rain slick edge she stepped on

"Be more careful" I say sternly, scolding her as the man and boy look around.

"The tracks vanished!?" the boy shouts

"Maybe the damn thing flew away like a bird' the man sighs.

I turn around, and feel the hollow in a run down on building, a good leap away....looks like some kind of inn

"Sorry sorry" the girl says brushing herself off as I decide to throw them a bone

"Well, it couldn't be that, otherwise it'd leave no tracks for us to follow" I say as the boy frowns and looks to the inn, and then back at me

"Can you feel anything in there?" He asks, politely

What do I say?
[] Do you think that's where it is

"Is that where you think it is?" I ask as I watch the girl step away from a rain slick tile while she's trying to get a better look. the boy frowns, and looks at the inn for around a minute, the man doing the same, rubbing his scarred face as I stand behind them

The boy closes his eyes, and the man puts his hand on his forehead...their way of focusing on Reiryoku, since they haven't mastered the skill of sensing it yet.

"Its just like a sixth sense, don't try to focus it, just feel it, don't try and force it, it'd be like trying to make yourself hear something you can't" I say calmly as I watch them, pulling my zanpakuto down to my side, smiling as the boy gasps

"YES" He shouts, and begins to head off

"Don't go ahead by yourself!" I shout angrily, as I chase after him

I watch him leap over the gap between the last building next to the run down in and the building itself. I stop, feel the other two rush pasts me like strong gusts of wind. Well, I should see how well they do on their own at the very least. It wouldn't be fair to impede their own growth by just slaughtering the thing. Leading it into the ambush will be easier if its enraged...or desperate...or afraid. But If I try to get it to chase or run after us...well one of them is likely to get hurt seriously.

I step onto the next building, and look down at them and sit down.

"What are you doing up there smokey, aren't we going to fight this thing?" the man asks

"Are you waiting for something now? what are you doing?" the boy asks impatiently

"Y..you aren't going to make us do this ourselves right?" the girl stutters as I set Ryūketsu no kōtei on my lap

"Think of this as a test, I want to see how well you can handle yourselves" I say sadly, feeling a little guilty now "Don't worry I'll be watching you from up here if there's any trouble with the hollow, I'll come and lend my blade"

The girl's face fills with dread and horror, the Man from Bone street just grins and nods, the bow simply draws his blade.

"Alright, well, follow my lead I suppose?" he says trying to sound confident, but its pretty obvious how nervous he is

I smile, as they start to climb in through the hole in the wall where one of the windows used to be, and once the fat girl manages to get in, I stand and chuckle to myself, as rain splatters against my face and my ponytail blows in the wind as my clothes slowly get more soaked.

Well no way in hell I'm going to let a bunch of students who don't know what they're doing go fight a hollow alone, that'd just end up with them dead. And I don't want that, I'm trying to teach them after all, not lead them to their graves.

I begin to let my slip off the edge, as my fingers blacken and peel away as they burn, turning into smoke and embers as I take a deep breath and fall

the hard part about this, is of course going unnoticed by them and the hollow. I'll have to spread myself thin and hold my reiatsu.

I break myself apart, and flow into the hole, sticking to ceiling as the three slowly make their way through the torn up hallways, sticking
as close as they can together.

Its kind of cute actually....hmm, the hollow's running around....away from them. No not running, chasing something!

Flowing through the walls and then the floor, I follow that blank emptiness down into the first floor and under its boards into the cellar. Gathering my smoke into a corner, I peer out into the darkness, and see a girl wearing a bloody, and short dress struggling to run up the stairs, whimpering quietly. One of her legs has a nasty and wet looking bruise in it, with one small mark in the middle of it.

I look down where she's looking and see a black outline in the darkness, with a mask raising above it, a laughing mask. But it isn't on a neck, its on the hollow's scorpion like tail.

The hollow cackles, and snaps its pincers, and begins to run at the girl as she stands up and pulls herself up the stairs, fear clear in her eyes.

She isn't going to make it. She's too badly wounded to run and that thing is right behind her. She'll be devoured if I don't do something to stop it...And I can't kill it without interfere with those three. But I can save her. I can't let her get eaten, I can save her and I can do it easily

But I only have a second to do it. Reforming in the dusty, blood scented air, I step out of my smoke, in front of the hollow.

It screeches in surprise as I rush the girl, running up the stairs and tackling her as the hollow stares at me in confusion. I glare at it and smirk, lifting the girl over my shoulder as I run and shunpo away.

"Wh..wh..what?" She says woozily, clutching her leg as I set her down on the building next to the inn "Why..why did you save me"

I smile and give a reassuring pat on the shoulder. She's young, younger than even Aya. Just a little girl. It feels nice saving a lost soul like her.

I hear another scream behind me.
I can't tell if it's one of the students or the hollow, the rain is falling too heavily

"Hold still please, this is probably going to hurt" I say calmly as I draw my blade and set it next to her wound, stabbing it down into the roof top "REMEMBER, Ryūketsu no kōtei!"

My blade coats itself in thick, old blood, that begins to boil up with it as it changes, fattening the blade and turning it double edge, as it grows a guard and a long flowing tassel. its glass like blade is slick with water already, and shines with it.

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!" the girl screams, as Kotei begins to feed, ripping the blood out of her leg quickly, her veins bulging as she screams in agony, her skin turning paler as tears flow from her eyes.

The bruise vanishes, and kotei keeps drinking.

"Stop" I command coldy, ripping the blade out as the girl curls up, holding her clean leg in pain, as she looks up at me to ask why as Kotei stops, now a faint reddish purple "Don't worry, I'll fix you up, just sit still.

She begins to try to crawl away, so I grab her shoulder and hold her down. Ripping some of my sarashi off from my chest, and wrap it around her leg as quickly as I can, tighening it and tying it closed as I hear my yelling behind me

I turn, and worry grips my heart.

"Wait here!" I yell at the scared witless girl, and leap off the roof, back to the inn.

I turn to smoke mid air, steam rushing off of me with a hiss as I shoot through the floors, stopping on the first floor.

The fat girl is pinned under the hollow, blood dripping down her face. The boy and Man are squaring off against it, ready to fight it as it hisses at them, raising its mask over them threateningly

Well, seems there in more than a bit of trouble now. Can't just sit by and watch her die can I? Calmly reach my arms out of the smoke as it reforms me, placing my hand behind the tinted blade of my zanpakuto as a golden light appears on its edge, glowing brighter and brighter.

It fires flowing off my blade like lighting just as the hollow moves to strike the old man.

Blood splatters and black chitin falls to the floor. The hollow screeches as its head tail falls off, hitting the floor with an earth shaking thud, throwing dust into the air as it screeches pathetically .It wiggles, trying to squirm away as the embers and smoke swirl around me as I get my body back.

"KEMURI!?" they all shout as I swing my Zanpakuto down to my side, and sheath it in my next move

"You need more training" I say calmly as I step on the hollows severed stump, pinning it in place "All three of you do, but...hey at least you know more than you did this morning"

they all just stare at me, wide eyed with mouths agape as the hollow wiggles out from my foot, so I grab it by its "neck" And get whacked by what's left of its tail, as it tries to smack me off. I wince, it hurts but not enough to make me let go of it.

"What?" the boy says as the girl smiles happily, and lays under the hollow's dead body "Ho..how long were you there for"

"I heard you scream and helped like I said you would" I say calmly as I hold the head up "now which of you wants to kill this thing?"

they all look at eachother and then me

"Huh, well you've certainly come a long way" the man from bone street laughs "and...are still pretty unconcerned about what you meet it looks like"

"Wait...why aren't you going to kill it?" the girl asks weakly

"You need a kill" I say calmly "None of you seem to realize the weight of a life, you rush ahead, you scare easily and don't look where you put your feet and you"

I look at the old man who frowns guiltily as the boy looks away, and the girl bites her lip.

"You...are too flippant" I say calmly as I pin the hollow to the ground "judging from where you stand You ran to it the second your heard it, and didn't try to give yourself any advantages over it, or think up the basics of a plan. NOW"

"I can get away with that sort of thing, since with how I fight, I am always planning my next move, and I spent all of my living life killing things, its basically instinct to me now, you three have yet to take a life, you just weren't prepared for this, it isn't out of any fault of your own besides how new you are to all this" I say sternly, narrowing my eyes as I look at all of them "Now come over here, and end it"

the boy nods, walking up to me, as the man helps the fat girl out from under the hollow. In unison they raise their Asauchi.

The hollows roars defienantly. And tries to stab me with its stinger that rises out of its mouth

their blades cut past its skull, and my hand, as the lights in its eyes fade, and it dies.

"Where's the hollow?" Tora asks as I walk up, the students following behind me, worn out and looking either sad or pissed off behind me

"We dealt with it" I say with a smirk as Wan smiles and laughs

"Fantastic" he says with a grin "I knew you'd have no trouble with it"

"She did most of the work" the boy says, pouting and crossing his arms as Kaba smirks

"Well, they did get a kill though, all three of them" I say turning back to look at them "since I let them finish the job"

"Hmmm, well at least all of them are in one piece" Kaba says warmly "Come on, we need to get them back to the school and her to the infirmary"

"Of course, our work here is done for today" Tora says glancing at me and pursing her lips "Ready to open the way back Kimi?"

I stare at the black butterfly sitting on my fingers, rain falling around me as the lives in the city go on around us, passing us by. As the wet, muddy street becomes more like a river, I smile and shake my head

"There's some business I need to attend to" I say, the fat girl pouting as Wan shrugs and Kaba sighs

"Understood" Tora says, with a nod as I turn and walk away, waving at them by as I shunpo to the roof tops, and follow the sound of the wailing girl

She whines, when I land next to her and tries to crawl away sniffling, before she realizes its me

"G..go away" She whimpers, holding her leg "I don't want to be hurt anymore, just leave me alone please, I don't need anyone to help me, especially you...you big mean...white haired freak"

I frown, and crouch down in front of her staring at her as she winces like she's expecting to be hit. She pauses and tries to push me away, hitting me and shouting at me to let her go. I just hold her tighter as she begins to cry.

I can only imagine what she went through in life....her very short life, and what could've cut it short. I run my hand through her hair and with the voice of a mother...or my best attempt at it, whisper into her ear

"I'm sorry they hurt you, but I can take you to a place where you'll find a family who'll care deeply for you, even if they aren't of blood, a place....different from this one" I say softly as she glares at me

"Y..you're lying" She hisses

I shake my head

"I don't like when I can help it, I hate it" I say calmly "it isn't honourable, and I despise things like that, you have my word, as a samuria and shinigami, you will have a better life where I'm taking you, I swear it. And if you don't"

I grab her head and smile widely

"I'll find you and make sure you do" I say, trying to calm her down and convince her to pass on.

She smiles slightly, and sniffles "I want to go home"

"And I'm taking you there' I whisper, as I press the pommel of my zanpakuto to her forehead, and she vanishes in a pillar of blue life

My smile vanishes as I stand up and watch my hell butterfly fly off my hand. I sigh and look at the spot where the girl was and bow my head.

Now...I just need to get back to my comrades, and I can go home, and see if there's any room for me to laze around with friends today.

ANNNnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd we'll end here
I've archived and will answer quesitons

especially about monster girl legends and fresh soul reaper

ALSO
do you think Tuesday or one of the weekend days would be better for the first thread of Monster girl legend quest?

Still curious to see what MC is gonna win
>>970676
Phoneposting
>>
>>970735
AH SHIT
I just realized I was planning on doing some foreshadowing at the end of this thread, and the thought completely skipped my mind!

want me to write it up real quick since I fucked up
>>
>>970730
>"I'll find you and make sure you do"

Man do I hope we make good on that one day. Great thread as always HM thanks for running. As for MGLQ, I think Tuesday or Saturday will work well for it. And I know who I'm going to vote for, though there are so many insane combinations I'd love to see. And merry Christmas everyone, hope you all have a wonderful holiday.
>>
>>970755
hammer that shit HM
Also
Thanks for running
>>
>>970755
Yes please, I love learning about the people our sword get's to eat.
>>
>>970755
Just fuck me up HM

Alright. Here's the end bit I mean to put in there, but forgot for some reason
-
The white haired girl covered in scars vanished into a white light, along with her other black garbed kin. two young quincies watched from the roof tops, their hoods and other clothes strangely untouched by the rain, their cloaks flicking in the wind as they stared at the empty space where she was a moment before.

releasing their Reiatsu they turned to eachother and frowned, brother and sister standing up in unison with eachother

"What a bad day" one of them said, the girly looking boy with a clip in his hair "She had friends the beast"

"Yes yes" the girl said, biting her nails as the walk through the air, above the crowds who never though to look up "On her own she is dangerous, but when she is defending other's she is deadly"

"Like our fool of a sister found out" the boy giggles playfully "Now she's gotten eaten up"

"We'll free her from her torment, we just need to catch the smoke girl alone" the girl said coldly "Now, let us return to father"

"of course of course" the boy laughed as they sprinted through the sky "We'll hunt her another say"

"Soon!" the girl cheered

"SOON!' the boy shouted

>>970761
Also might run two threads for it on its first week
>>
>>970788
Well, at least these two are smart enough to avoid dragging anyone else into the fight. Too bad it won't save them though.
>>
>>970788
What do you have that keep the new monster girl quest from just ending up with anons accidentally just middleling everything and being boring good people?

Likewise, are you going to end up pitting us against monstergirls who have the initial advantage type and moves early on like what you did with Fenrir? I wasn't fond of fighting a near unstoppable wolf who could easily take away our one advantage of binding her up, just by existing alone. At least so soon in the game, would have been nice if it happened after a few fights though.
>>
>>970906
Well, first off for the middling thing, some girls do start at a disadvantage in some attributes, some don't. and for the boring good people thing, well there's the humanity stat that does change the MCs perceptions on that front, different factions rather than just good or bad per say, among other things. But you can be a straight good person if you want to. You can be a massive she bitch if you want to. the world and story will change depending on what you are/ choose to do

and of course being a certain monster girl does give you advantages/ disadvantages outside of your stats and such
And nein
the first battle will probably not be a legend but...like say a cat girl thug or speciest or something like that.

and the first legend you fight won't be a hard counter
>>
>>970930
>the first legend you fight won't be a hard counter
Good. It would be awful if suddenly King Solomon monstergirl showed up to yell out our true name(s) or something like that on the third monster rampage.

Also, I'm unsure if anon's want to be the hero, or all the time, so don't just make it seem like we're the only hope. It was pretty dishearting that none of those players who came to Mapleburrow wanted to at least help outside of combat. Shit, the only person who wanted to do something great, we brutally murdered.
>>
>>971020
Oh, trust me you won't be the only hope
just another legend

and that's because most of them weren't crazy people, and didn't have the balls that Krovachi, Lucy, Sam...etc and were scared of the world around them because

da'ta is a terrible place to live in if you aren't crazy
>>
>>971020
Also
What would King solomon mg
>>
>>971040
I'm guessing a magical girl, or more likely litch from what I remember how he tricked them to keep working for him long after he died.
>>
>>971040
What would it be?
>>
>>971064
Oh yeah that could work....hmmm ah that mental image
>>
So, I missed today's quest because I had gotten used to them being on Saturday and didn't check the twitter. Oops.

I will try to make it to the next one, but I wonder if anyone else made the same mistake?
>>
>>971064
I forgot that Madoka is a lich. That's probably what he would be as a monstergirl, an ageless mockery of a living person.
>>
The first person perspective is kind of a turn-off, is the quest good enough for me to see past this? As far as Bleach Quests go, I liked German Hollow, but can't stand Shiniga-Mary Sue-vant Quest.
>>
>>972070
Honestly the Mc of GHQ is worse than SSQ. at least SSQ gets challenged, GHQ is lol steam roll. Everything.
>>
>>972112
I haven't read GHQ since Aaroneiro killed killed Barragan desu. I just need a good Bleach Quest.
>>
>>972116
In pretty much any bleach quest you are going to run into the MC being overpowered in short order. For example Kimi in shikai has the budget version of Unohana's bankai.

Ghq has mary sue god that steam rolls everything.

SSQ has an MC that has more or less finally peaked out and now is running into actual fights and issues from running into a ceiling. She's Still massively strong but Aizen is moving to hard counter her and she can't get much stronger easily.

The Last Sternritter on akun has a likewise hugely strong quincy mc, who is shackled more or less by the need for secrecy because while he can stomp most non royal guards on OMG tier enemies solo, his race can't stand up to the Shinigami.
>>
>>972127
But how about the other characters and relationships? Because it was that that broke both SSQ and GHQ along with some other non-Bleach Quests for me.

I don't know, maybe I'm a sadist, or hate fun, but I need bad things to happen. Not SOM bad, but Mini bad.
>>
>>972148
Mini bad is happening now in SSQ, just ahd our son die senselessly in Sternritter.
>>
>>972152
I still can't get through SSQ, it started off to Mary Sue and fanservice-y for me.

So would you say Sternritter is a good read? Sorry for the trouble, normally I'm not so picky but Bleach is just something it seems hard for a quest to get right for me. And, do you think FSRQ good enough to overcome being in first person?
>>
>>972169
Sternritter is on akun, but yeah it's a decent read. Just FYI the MC is VERY strong and killed 4 captains in his first fight. BUt they were hitting him in a place he got a buff, they got debuffed, and they were jobber tier and/or newish. FSRQ will have issues with how strong the mc is although not nearly to the scale of others. Headmaster like crazy crits.

>as opposed to Ichigo "I'm-literally-every-species-and-learn-everything-a-hundred-times-faster-than-anyone-else" Kurosaki
Sounds to me like you just need to adjust your expectations. All of the Bleach characters who actually matter are ridiculous.
>>
>>972370
Not every Quest protagonist has to conform to the "rules" of Kubo. Maybe in the hands of the right QM a balance can be reached.
>>
>>972629
The problem is that if a quest mc wants to not get utterly fucked over by the canon enemies, they in turn need to be absurd.
>>
>>972655
But they don't have to go from 0 to 60 in under ten installments. Sure, Ichigo did, but he's an exception to literally every rule in the series. Maybe it's just the source material's narrative structure.
>>
>>972675
Well
So far none of the mcs of the quests have. Kimi even though she's weaker than the others is just as guilty. It took YEARS for Riku to reach bankai or even call her zanpakto. By comparison literally every other bleach mc is faster than her. Kimi literally called her shikai out within days of getting an asuachi. GHQ's mc went from nobody hollow to roflstomping Aizen in about six decades. Michael of last sternritter was only 20 when he killed 6 captains.

If SSq is too mary sue and moves too "quickly" for you where the Mc has decades of stagnation with marginal improvement. Almost every other Bleach quest will piss you off.
>>
>>972675
Maybe, Ichigo did seem to just blaze through the progression path for lack of a better term.

Also, the twin Quincies, when you fight them are going to be the hardest fight yet in this quest. You know, unless you guys get lucky like you tend to do on the fights I plan on being hard

>>972685
Yeah she did didn't she? Guilty as charged.

But Bankai is going to take awhile, because it should.

also might do another short time skip soon.

And again

MERRY
CHRISTMAS
>>
>>972701
Merry Christmass HM.


While her unlocking her sword within a day of an asuachi was bullshit and a half, I have hope it'll take a long while to get bankai. Also you do realize Kimi's SHikai is more less Unohana's bankai yeah?
>>
>>972709
Oh I know, but there's a reason for it. Its Still bullshit, but hey.

No I didn't, since as far as I can tell it never showed the ability and the only thing I noticed as similar was that blood was involved.

Does it ever show if her bankai has an ability or does it just change her sword and make it better? Because if so, I was not aware
>>
>>972728
Never showed the ability in manga, but it was apparently super blood control on herself and anyone she hit.
>>
>>972709
and it will be a long while to get Bankai. don't worry. I really like the idea of bankai, and I don't want it to be an easy reward, at all.

>>972734
hmm, well I never knew that. I just thought draining blood and using it as an attack would be neat.
>>
>>972741
Have you read SSQ? It might give you ideas.

I don't like getting ideas from other quests, it feels like I'm stealing or plagiarizing from them, it just feels dirty. I might run similar quests, but I want to make them my own thing.

Like I ran trapped in da'ta because I got really pissed off at a shitty overlord quest that lasted two threads.

Also do some people not like the 1st person perspective in quests? I think it helps in defining the character, since using you just....well I tried it in ASQ and I didn't like it. And I don't think third person works for quests in the long run.
>>
>>972761
>I don't like getting ideas from other quests, it feels like I'm stealing or plagiarizing from them, it just feels dirty.

I meant less as stealing them, more reading them for enjoyment and an alternative take on the verse to make you think.

>Also do some people not like the 1st person perspective in quests?

Taste is subjective. Third and First person can work in a quest, just depends on the qm's writing style.
>>
>>972791
Oh I'll try to read up on it, I just have a nasty habit not to read things I want to/plan on reading


And I know that. Like I can use third person for a quest, but to me it'd feel detached from the MC/ whoever you're controlling at the moment. And the whole, You, 2nd person is well...to me it just doesn't feel right.

I mean I think I could do a 3rd person quest its just... I prefer 1st person for quests, for some reason. I mean I can write in both 3rd or 1st person, about as well as each other

Its just as you said its a matter of preference and taste
>>
>>972809
*About as well as I can the other

sorry, mistyped
