Lost in... Underground

This place certainly isn't there for show. Dark yet long corridors that stretch for miles all beneath the crust of the earth. Just above, sits Karakura town and above that, some floating replica of Karakura too. What were those humans thinking when they found out about the hollows? Let's fly into the sky! Hollows can't fly! Well their wrong.

Underneath these bunkers, the sounds of eerie footsteps shot from wall to wall, letting everything underground know someone was walking down here. A boy with brown, spiked hair strolled around the corner with his burnt red jacket flailing behind him as he strode. After taking more and more steps down these corridors, he eventually came into a larger open chamber. It was in here, that he decided to take his rest.

"Man... I've been lost down here for the past 16 hours. I feel like a trapper miner just without the dirty job part." He wandered up to a long series of desks that people would use to work on during construction. This place still isn't finished and nobody really cleaned up after they had moved on into a new area. Lying on this random table, the boy closed his eyes. "Maybe someone will find me here"

Another was down int he Underground of Karakura City, only he was not lost too much. He was here after tracking a Hollow that got through the shield around the city, but the shield did not cover all of Karakura City, which was part of the underground area. As he moved, he listened to the sounds, and thought on how to recruit members to the Special Human Task Force, or SHTF that was operating in Karakura City and it had a new Taichō. Byakko Fuyuichiro moved on, his Zanpakutō still in its place at his waist and he stopped to look around. "It seems that this part of the Underground has not been used very much," he comments as he looks down and spots some footprints. These foot prints are covered in a layer of dust, however, some are not and are fresh.

Puzzled, he kneels and looks, "These look fresh," he says to himself as he stands and looks at the hallway. "If someone is lost down here, than I must find both them and the Hollow," he adds as he moves off and heads after the fresh footprints, his hand on the hilt of his Zanpakutō. Walking slowly, he stops and looks at a intersection, as he hears a roar. Thinking, he looks at the floor and sees the footprints head off to the right, while the roar was to the left. Closing his eyes, he sighs and makes a decision, which he hopes is the right one and heads to the right.

As he approaches, he feels a power source that is strong, over his own, but not by much and he thinks that perhaps the Hollow is after this person and if so than he will run into it, but it is hard to say. However, behind the Taichō, a shape moves and fades into the darkness.

The boy went by the name of Itachi. He wasn't exactly the most easily read person in the history of the world, but his actions are very predictable. Some would say he was like the fiery hero from a manga or something. Lying on the random table he found, Itachi stared at the ceiling of the chamber, thinking to himself. Just then, a short Grumbling roar sound pricked up his ears and gained his attention. Sitting up, Itachi scanned the room with his eyes before slapping his forehead. "Damn... i'm hungry. Making my gut impersonate creatures..."

But then his words were stopped by yet another roar but this time, of a much louder note and deeper tone. The corridor in the direction Itachi had come from was bearing this sound, and the faint sound of footsteps from a humanoid figure could be heard. "Ok... Somethings nearby." propelling himself off the table in some kind of drop-kick motion, Itachi wandered over to the doorway he came through and strolled out with his hands in his blue jeans. However, his actions were halted rather quickly as he almost stepped right into a man as he turned a corner. Stopping quickly and staring, Itachi smiled. "Yes! I found someone..."

But then that roar occurred once more. As though it was trying to let everyone know it was still there. "I dunno bout you man, but i hear something that isn't too pleased with us." Itachi stepped around this man to get a better look down the corridor. The lights weren't active making it hard to see if anything was truly there. However, the reitsu that was creeping out obviously showed some signs of life.
