The Shinigami of Black and Gold [Open, maximum of 6 people]

Carmine shifted his weight from one foot to the other, his seemingly blank stare resting on the small human girl as one of his fellow shinigami explained how they too were trying to get to the bottom of things. He nodded slowly, his eyes not leaving the girl as his mind began whirring. Something about her seemed a bit strange. He'd seen humans before when he'd been to Earth, and he'd even seen a few humans who had above average abilities, but this girl bothered him. It wasn't her appearance, for indeed by her appearance she looked harmless. The closest description would be her presence.

Carmine listened silently as one of the shinigami informed the human of her status as a ryoka, and her likely-hood of being jailed for unauthorized entry into the Seireitei. Which struck him as odd; It would be one thing to enter the Soul Society without detection, but not only did she enter the Seireitei, it seemed no alarms had gone off on her entry, and the only ones who knew about her were the ones present. Carmine frowned slightly, a gesture made useless by the mask that obscured his face, as he carefully slipped his Zanpakutô onto his waist. His right hand drifted to his chin, as his gaze seemed to turn to the clouds, his left dropping down to rest on the hilt of his Zanpakutô. He examined the sky, looking for something out of the ordinary to mark the girl's arrival. He'd heard that once, a group of Ryoka had invaded the Seireitei in hopes of rescuing someone, but upon arrival, they'd been separated, coming to blows with many shinigami that came in their paths. But this time, it seemed like there was only one Ryoka, and she seemed for too young to be planning something of that magnitude.

Carmine didn't move as the girl responded to the shinigami's prospect of her being jailed. She dismissed it, almost like a joke, claiming she wasn't a human, she was a dream. He slowly turned his gaze towards her, still almost casually stroking his chin beneath his mask. "Funny. I wasn't aware dream's couldn't be locked up. I'm no stickler for the rules, but it couldn't hurt to play it safe and-" he was interrupted by the girl's sudden outburst of questions. She didn't know about the Soul Society or the Gotei 13, which was strange, considering that she was already within the bowels of the Seireitei. And it seemed she had an urge for cake. He shook his head slightly, raising his eyebrow as he spoke. "Oh, so you don't know anything about where you are, or who we are? Well let's keep it that way. Why would we tell you-" He was promptly interrupted by the blond haired shinigami, his brother in shirtlessness, as he answered all of the girl's questions without hesitation; even the cake question.

Carmine stared at him for a moment. "Wow. I can't believe you just went ahead and told her all that. For shame." Before he could say anything more, the little girl seemingly appeared around the shinigami's neck. Carmine took a step back, his hand flying to his Zanpakutô. A slight after glow of electricity sparked the air for nothing but a moment, before disappearing. The girl kept crying out for a piggyback ride, and after a moment, Carmine allowed his hand to leave his weapon. 'Fast. Very fast...' he thought, taking a step forward. But of course, things didn't end with the piggyback ride. The girl pulled a knife from somewhere, casually swinging it around dangerously close to her mount's face. Carmine's hand strayed to his weapon again, but the blond haired shinigami seemed to be able to handle himself quite well. He juked his head to avoid the bite of her knife, though the the disapproval was clear on his face.

Carmine casually walked over to the other shinigami, tapping his shoulder and indicating that he lean forward. [color]"Clayton Carmine, Fourth seat of Squad Three.[/color] he said in a whisper "I don't like this. Something isn't right about her. She clearly doesn't know much about where she is, but somehow she managed to get here. The most alarming thing about that is that no one else has been alerted, which means she did so without the knowledge of anyone, save for us here. I'm guessing the rest of you were just on site like I was, which means that she could be much more powerful than she's letting on. That being said, I think we should lock her up for the time being, until we get to the bottom of this. I don't hear of too many humans who can enter the Seireitei without detection. Though I suppose if they truly come in undetected, I imagine no one would hear of it..." He suddenly trailed off for a moment, glancing down and muttering to himself, before the blond haired shinigami's tirade drew his attention back to the girl. "Something needs to be done..."

The more Kyouhai saw of this crazy ryoka girl who had just appeared in the Seiretei without warning, the more confused and annoyed he became. Kyouhai had absolutely no idea what was going on to begin with, and this only made matters worse. He wasn't sure whether to laugh at the crazy girl or take out his sword and deal with her that way. Kyouhai wasn't really leaning towards the option involving his Zanpaku-to's use since such a thing would seem very cold-blooded, especially in a situation where a young human girl who hadn't yet caused any harm was involved. Kyouhai decided that he would wait just a bit longer and see how things played out before he made any sort of decision.

As Kyouhai listened to what the girl who had appeared in Seiretei had to say, he caught something interesting. The girl had said that she was in fact not a human, but a dream. Somehow, according to what the 'dream person' said, this would allow her to escape of Kyouhai or any of the other Shinigami present decided to have her thrown in jail. When Kyouhai made this suggestion, in fact, the other Shinigami, Dansen, seemed to think it wasn't necessary. He asked whether it was necessary to keep the girl in Soul Society when she hadn't even meant to come here. To this, Kyouhai responded "It doesn't necessarily matter what I think. The rules of Seiretei come straight from Central 46, and by extension, probably the Soul King himself. Decisions based on such rules are not really for me to make. This girl came to Seiretei without the guidance of a Shinigami and that makes her a ryoka. Ryoka are supposed to be jailed and/or interrogated. However, I think I will wait a little longer before deciding anything." .

Even as Kyouhai finished speaking to Dansen about the importance of Soul Society's rules, the same blond-haired Shinigami recruit kept talking to the pink-haired 'dream person' girl. The girl asked Dansen stuff about Soul Society, and Dansen answered all of her questions. Kyouhai was a little annoyed by this. Giving information about your fortress to a possible enemy is one of the worst things any soldier can do. Kyouhai was about to start telling Dansen how he had messed up royally when the other Shinigami present began to speak. He pretty much told Dansen something to the same effect. The Shinigami who had spoken to Dansen then continued. He said quite a bit, but the effect of what he said was that something should be done about the current situation. Kyouhai was very much starting to agree.

Kyouhai was about to speak when the pink-haired girl, the 'dream person', jumped on Dansen's back. She was acting like a normal girl and saying stuff about wanting a piggyback ride and chocolate cake. However, she suddenly produced a short-bladed cutting implement with a broad blade and only one sharp edge. Even though he was born in 1013, Kyouhai knew from experiences in the World of the Living that this was called a kitchen knife. He also knew that it could quite possibly be dangerous. Kyouhai's hand closed around the hilt of his Zanpaku-to, but he saw that Dansen had taken the situation under control by now. Everything seemed okay.

Now, Kyouhai decided to speak. He needed to at least say something, and maybe do something about the situation, too. "I really don't know what should be done here.... Girl, you brought out a dangerous object and threatened the safety of a member of the Gotei 13." began Kyouhai. "Because of this, I should arrst you. However, you have said that you cannot be jailed. I'm not one to go to extremes, so I'll have to settle with this: can you promise that you will not harm the Seiretei and that you will leave this realm in peace?" asked Kyouhai. If the girl agreed, all would be well. If not... then things might get a bit bad for her.

Rachel tilted her head to the side slightly as the man grabbed her hand, a small frown on her face. Her hand rippled again, the knife retreating back in to it, disappearing from view. However, she kept herself saddled on his back, not moving until the man she had crashed in to finished speaking to her, asking to make a deal with her. Giggling, she dropped off the blonde haired man’s back, a crackling sound and a trail of electricity brought her in front of the one making an offer to her.

“No, no, no. I’m having too much fun here, too much fun. Also, you think that knife was dangerous? I pity you, this is a dangerous object.”

Her hand rippled again, a small grenade exiting from it. She smiled, holding it up for him to see while making sure she had a strong enough grip that he couldn't take it from her.

“Now, do you know what an atomic bomb is? This little thing packs as much of a wallop as one of those. Of course, it isn’t something one should use, don’t want to blow yourself up.”

Her hand rippled once more, the grenade disappearing in to it. Smiling, she backed away a bit, a teasing smile on her face.

“Alright, come on, arrest me. You are supposed to follow your own laws, right? So come on, arrest me, that’s what you’re laws say, right? I’m one of those ‘ryoka’ thingies, so why aren’t you arresting me? You’re not going to break the law, are you?”

It was quite clear from her attitude that she was teasing them, trying to get them riled up. She was hoping for some fun, and perhaps she could bait these people in to giving her the fun she desired. However, there was no guarantee, this was a strange place for her, with strange laws and strange people. Still, she was going to try to have fun with them, after all, she was stuck here for the time being, right?

The girl seemingly launched off the blonde Shinigami's back, he gave a sigh of relief as he stared at the girl making her way to the ground with seemingly electricity rolling off her heels. The Spirit took out a roll of bandaging from within the bandaging that was wrapped around his own body and used it on his cut hand to staunch the bleeding that was coming from it. "Ah that's better..." The blonde Spirit then looked to the other Shinigami in his presence, they had seemingly reprimanded him for being unwise and telling the girl knowledge about the Seireitei. "Hmm? All I told was where to find cake nothing else really matters."

The seemingly unwise Shinigami was soon having his attention turned back to the dream that had previously been riding on his head as she continued on to claim that her knife was nowhere near dangerous as what she had summoned into her hand. The Spirit looked to his hand then back to the girl then back to his hand then back to the girl all before making a face of displeasure as he said. "My hand and hair would prefer to disagree." The girl then made comment on her new 'toy' was nothing short of being nuclear capable, the Spirit looked on in a sort of mix of interest and confusion. "So its like...A mini Nuke?" The concept confused Dansen but he nevertheless simply went along with the idea that this creature could dream up such a power.

As the girl released the bomb it simply faded away as she went on to tease the Shinigami once more, it was clear that a reaction was what she was trying to invoke from the three that had appeared to deal with the little nuisance but she had very little in the way of respect to those that were trying to help her. Admittedly two of them were trying to arrest her...But it was no reason for bad manners.

As the girl made bold claims at the Shinigami and dared them to make a moved Dansen simply let out a sigh as he crouched down and looked to the sky the sun still just in the horizon of his vision he simply gave his feelings on the situation. "Its much too hot to deal with such a bratty personality, you guys can deal with her the way you want but if she's telling the truth then you better get her quick, if she wanted to leave she could have already so she's probably waiting for us to make a move..." The Spirit went to sit on the ground as he looked to the girl and the other Shinigami. "You guys wanna arrest her I suggest you go get her..." The Shinigami made his comments to his allies and watched their moves he didn't particularly care about arresting what seemed to be a young girl, but for him it was mostly to much work to do on a day such as it was...

It seemed that the girl just didn't know when to stop talking and just generally making a nuisance out of herself. She was starting to make Kyouhai a little annoyed. It isn't exactly wise to annoy someone who's trying to decide whether to kill, jail, or release you. Especially since the last option works in your favor. Someone annoyed at you is very unlikely to decide in your favor. But it seemed that this stupid, crazy girl just didn't understand that. Kyouhai had pretty much made up his mind about what he was going to do. He was going to have this girl jailed in the Maggot's Nest or something for a very long time. That would probably teach her a lesson about just spouting off at people. And then there was this blond Shinigami, Dansen. What the hell was he doing? Just sitting down to relax when there was a ryoka on the loose and at large in Seiretei? Kyouhai, now beginning to be in a particularly bad mood, reached up for the hilt of his sword.

Obviously, the reason for everything that happened to put Kyouhai in that sort of mood deserves a description. A few moments earlier, the girl had responded to what Kyouhai had said to her about what she was doing wrong. She had said that the knife wasn't really a dangerous object. At that, she had pulled out a strange object that Kyouhai had never seen before. Having been born in 1013, Kyouhai hadn't seen a hand grenade before. He was, however, right in assuming that it was some type of human weapon. The girl had said that it was equal in power to something else, probably another human weapon, called an atomic bomb. Kyouhai couldn't grasp the meaning of those words since he had no idea of the atomic bomb's power to make an entire city uninhabitable for 30 or 40 years, not to mention kill all of that city's inhabitants almost instantly. Kyouhai was relieved as the girl put the weapon away, even though he didn't know all that it could do. The girl then made some sort of taunt, basically inviting Kyouhai to come arrest her.

If this wasn't bad enough, it seemed that Dansen, the other Shinigami, was no longer on his side either. At first, he had seemed to comprehend the power of the girl's hand grenade, comparing it to something called a 'nuke. Kyouhai really wished these people would stop making allusions to modern human weapons so that he actually could tell what they were talking about. To make matters worse, Dansen just said something to the effect of "if you want to arrest her, go ahead, but I won't have any part in it.". This was pretty much the last straw for Kyouhai, which brings us back up to the point where he had just gripped the hilt of his sword.

Kyouhai was in a very bad mood by now. Gripping the hilt of his sword, he began to speak. "If you want--" began Kyouhai, who had been speaking to both the human girl and Dansen. However, he barely had time for those three words before he was cut off by another voice, saying "Too much fun... Too much fun indeed." The speaker stepped forward. He yelled out "TOO MUCH FUN!!!" before grabbing the girl and performing some sort of technique on her, paralyzing her. The same speaker then asked whether he would be allowed to pass, or whether he would have to 'attempt to dissect' the Shinigami there. Kyouhai could feel how powerful the speaker was, so he wasn't about to try anything stupid. He let his hand fall from his sword-hilt to his side. Kyouhai then said "Take her if you want, we don't really want her in Seiretei anyways... but who are you?" . Kyouhai hoped that he didn't piss off whoever this was, knowing that this was truly a being of power standing here.

Out of a shadow that was being casted off a building a young girl would walk out, seemingly from nothing. Intruth she was just using a Kidō known as #26. Kyokkō. One of her favorites. This girl was dressed oddly for a Shinigami as she was in a dark colored school girl's outfit. “Squad 7 Kyouhai Harukaze Suzumori , Squad 3 Dansen Sukamada, Squad 3's 4th lieutenant Clayton Carmine, and karakura high school, class 1-s... Rachel Dare. I make it part of my job to know who people are. But there is one of you whose name I don't know... and that worries me. But I'll get back to that in a little bit."

"To you Squad~ members of the gotei 13. You should feel ashamed. She is just a little human girl and yet you let her work you up. Not only that but information slipped out from your lips. Though to be completely honest Dansen I am upset with you the least of all. "

"Clayton you're a 4th lieutenant and should have taken charge of this situation ASAP. It's a little girl you should have been able to handle her without any injurys happening" she would point at the Shinigami with the hand that was wrapped in bandages. "That all is upsetting ... to me"

"But You Kyouhai don't upset me at all. NO you piss me off! This girl may be a ryoka but she is still human and As A Shinigami it's are job to save life's not throw them away. YET you do it without a second thought. You don't know who this ryoka man is or what he may do to her, but you carelessly give her up without a fight?! Do you have no backbone? Do you have no faith in your brethren? You let fear block your judgment. No you may not have the skill to take this man on, But the moment you started fighting we would have felt it and come to help." Isae would tap her foot four times on the ground for dramatic effect..

"I ... ASK all 3 of you to go back to your Squad's.. I'll be sending your Captain's a report on this matter As well as to Squad 1. I think you all have done enough don't you? You should prepare yourselves for some form of punishment. I will be strongly suggesting it." should be noted Isae is an ex Captain of Squad 12 and the acting head master of shino academy. Not only that but being a true age of only 21 and having her level of power makes Isae well known. She is also known to hide or suppress her power as to not affect those around her, thus why she is hiding it now.


Isae would look at the man holding the girl. “I ask Forgiveness for the waiting and now I must ask you to hand the girl over to me. As I~ can’t let you take her.” If the other soul reapers were not gone by now she would point her finger at each one of them and say” Shō” Isae would put enofe force in each Hadō to send them flying 60 yards back. She would leave their landing up to them as she did not care. They were asked to leave. Isae would than start saying “now with them out of the way..” she clap her hands above her head then out in front of her.” Hachigyō Sōgai” this would remove the space Isae and hebi was in from existence and making all those outside it no longer know where this spot is. Hachigyō Sōgai is an unbreakable double dislocation barrier by any Kidō and would make sure that this was just between Isae, hebi and the girl inside it. The other 3 soul reapers could not inter fear less they would end surely up getting hurt, or more likely killed.

Rachel pouted as one of the men refused to chase after her, but then a newcomer appeared from the ground. Snakes wrapped around her legs before she could move, and the man suddenly appeared in front of her, slamming his fist in to her stomach. A scream filled the air as pain took over her entire body. Pain unlike anything she had ever felt before as the energy keeping her alive was almost snapped from her. Her body flickered for a moment, destabilized, before stabilizing again. As strange black marks formed on her skin, she felt her body stop responding to her commands, and her eyes widened in horror. Her body rippled, the gateway inside her forced open, not by her, but by beings on the other side. After a few seconds shimmering beasts burst forth from her stomach, dragons pushing forth in to this world. One after the other they exited from their previous home as Rachel could no longer keep the gateway closed, five in total. Having entered this world, the giant beasts spread their wings, flying high to begin a rampage of destruction. Their mouths would open wide, spurting forth cones of pure force in an attempt to destroy the whole of the seireitei.
