Living in old Karakura Town

Roiben Miyamoto walked around the remains of Karakura town, the battlesite of the mattle with Sousuke Aizen. He hadn't taken part in it, but he had heard stories of the battle. ABout the shinigami who defeated Aizen, a mere substitute named Ichigo Kurosaki. After the war, Roiben had soon left the soul society, eager to become powerful. If someone like Sousuke Aizen could rise again in the soul society, it would take someone not affiliated with them to defeat the threat. That was the one thing he learned from the experience. So, he moved to the old Karakura town, and stayed there even when everyone moved to the new, futuristic city. Roiben would go visit every once in a while, but Karakura town was his main love.

Roiben was a 5'7" man with black hair that went halfway down his back. He always wore a white jacket, and carried his zanpakuto inside of it. Underneath his jacket he wore a black, sleeveless shirt and semi tight, black pants. He also wore two black belts with silver diamond studs in them. He also wore black, fingerless gloves.

He had become to grow bored in the city, as not many people chose to stay with him. He supposed that was human nature, though. They were always striven to be better, seek new things. Perhaps that was part of the reason the shinigami helped protect them. In any case, he figured he might go up to the city and leave the dome. He'd have plenty of hollow to train against.

Sometime everyone had there was reasons... April had every reason to hate shinigami, they killed her mother, even though in the Soul Society ended up being a place where the Redwoods were Royalty and safe from all. No matter what... She would kill everyone that was shinigami that got in her way expect Roiben, for some damn reason. Though after Aizen's fight... She ended dying, and become a shinigami; but not remembering every single thing. Living there really had a change her heart. She even found love with Renji, then it came too soon that her love ended... A long live without him but then Hisagi... That was a long story so short that made all of her memories returned. So... April returned to earth and residing from the Captain position and lived in Mountains in a temple. It was only a hour or so away.


Little did the black haired male know, that the girl from hundreds ago watched him from a distances. The same fiery red haired female was now a middle age female with long pink hair that dropped past her knees. She seemed... So much more mature and a bit more understanding. April just watched Roiben slowly walk away around the the old city that was even she called home so many years ago. She decided to call out "WELCOME BACK YOU ASSHOLE!" April hopped down in front of him. Her long pink hair graced her beautiful body. There was one thing different about her no less, She was wearing her shinigami captain outfit... It has been a while, with her hands on mother baring hips. Those blue orbs glanced at him and those lips pause.. "About time you come back to where we both started." April raised an eyebrow before swaying over to him and giving him pat on the cheek. There was something interesting. "What the hell are you doing, you?"

As Roiben was walking, he hadn't even been paying attention to were he was going. There was so much on his mind. Memories of the past, both in Karakura and the Soul Society. However, a familiar voice called out to him, breaking his concentration. "WELCOME BACK YOU ASSHOLE!" Roiben jumped slightly, and saw April Redwood jump in front of him. Roiben smiled, it was good to see a familiar face. He listened to her speak, and ask what he was doing here. "You know, it almost makes me want to laugh seeing YOU wear a captain's uniform." Roiben grined.

As for her question, it was a simple answer. "Why shouldn't I be? After I left the soul society, I couldn't think of any place better to live." Roiben hadn't left them on a bad note. In fact, he had left them to help them. "What would you be doing here? You leave the soul society, too?"

Since his leave from the soul society, Roiben had done a lot, including gain hollow powers that would have been forbidden in the soul society. He decided he would do what he had to to protect not only the earth, but also provide backup for the soul society when the time came. He'd even given some thought to joining th vizard corps.

The pink haired maiden could not help but laugh at his statement and patted him softly on the cheek. Having her memories awaken due to breaking her brother's seal, the female had returned the way she was so many years ago. "I am even surprised that those bastards didn't read my background, it would clearly state "Killed about one hundred thousand Shinigami in the past, due to revenge." Pulling her hand away from him and throwing them over behind her back. Those blue eyes were no longer golden like they were in the past, when Roiben knew. They seem content and rather calm unlike before... They looked... like Aizen's eyes when he was in-control, she knew what she was doing. After so many times broken when she was aka 'Happy', it was said that the maiden snapped.. There before she left.

"Because I would think it would bring back your fellow slaughted Shinigami, that I did." April laughed once more. For April, she simply grew too strong and they were only holding her back, she even could be captain Commander if she wanted after Zeus' disappearance, though her kind nature threw her back from that. April just shrugged Roiben's question off. "It was the matter of fact that I think Aizen was right... They help you for a while, then they only want to control you. I am tired of always being in control some higher ups. Plus remember I am monster that can't be near shinigami..." April began to walk away from Roiben. He would not understand... Thanks to her, she was the one who helped him realize Aizen was up to no good. Then she was just following an old man's orders. April wished that sometime, she would have helped Aizen herself but he was gone when she woke up. It is that feeling despair and willing to bring a new order sometimes to the human race.

Roiben listened to her speak, saying that, at times, she thought Aizen was right. All they wanted to do was control. They gave you power, then manipulated the very power they give you. Although he could agree with some of it, he wouldn't have gone as far as to say Aizen was right all along.

"Monster? No. Your different from others, yes. That doesn't make you a monster." Roiben knew exactly what she was talking about. Her transformation that she made on occasion. He'd seen it, and even had to hold his own against it at times. That was no fun, or easy matter. Still, each time she had reverted back to her regular self. Roiben saw her begin to walk away, and started to follow her. He wasn't going to let her leave after such a brief encounter.

"So, to how big of a degree do you agree with Aizen? It surprises me hearing you say that." It surprised him because she had been the one to help him realize that Aizen had been wrong, and wasn't the man Roiben though he was. Aizen not only wanted to dominate the soul society, but earth and hueco mundo as well. He wanted to destroy the balance of the worlds by controlling them all. Little did Aizen realize, killing the spirit king would have meant destroying the soul society its self. That was something he'd learned from Kisuke Urahara. It worried Roiben to think that April might decide to follow the same road as Aizen.

How about that? April agreeing with Aizen it might be a bit out of character but she was known to screw the rules when it came about to him. She always hated Aizen with all her guts. "Well... Roiben-san. It has been four hundred years to think, that even the fact that even one rules us all. It is time for time for a change for everyone. I am going to meet Tsuna after this. Possibly stay with him, he might be the one." April spoke calmly turning back towards him, then those fine lips frowned up. Her hand cupped his cheek once more and pulled him into a hug tightly. She was not releasing him... Whispering into his ear softly. "My senses are telling me a great war is going to happen... Find friends or even someone you love... Keep them close..." The maiden didn't know what to do, this was going to be harsh times like none she had ever seen. April... has not felt scared in a good while meaning hundreds of years. The time were a secret.

April's blue orbs disappeared, closing her eyes as if she was enjoying his company for once. Inhaling his scent before pulling away from him. April slowly pulled away from him, tickling her hand down his arm. Her finger entangled with his like fancy lace, and sighed."I hope you have good time Roiben-san. Next time, I might not be able to see you..." The female's stomach felt ill from this upcoming events, it was going to lead them both to an ending that neither would like. This time, April would stand on what she rightful think. 'Roiben... I hope you will do better, then I will.' She thought before looking at him weakly. "I need to go... Roiben-san..." April stated before releasing him, turning away from him quickly. It was time to head out.

He listened to his old friend speak. She was going to visit Tsuna, someone he actually was acquainted with. She grabbed his hand and pulled him into a hug, telling him to find friends or someone he loved and keep them close. He was sure she had just as bad of a feeling of the future as he did. However, there was a problem. He hadn't seen any of his friends in the longest time, and wouldn't even know were to find them. There hadn't been a woman he fell in love with, either, as much as he wished he had someone. He was alone in the world, and supposed she was right. He should find some people to ally with.

She pulled away from him and spoke to him again, telling him that she hoped he had a good time, and next time, she might not be able to see him. The way she was speaking had worried him, but he knew he had to let her go. Anyway, she would be with Tsuna. Tsuna was powerful, and April was also. However, she was one of his dearest friends. He couldn't help but worry. She released him, and turned away. Roiben's head tilted down, and he closed his eyes. "Wherever you find yourself... I wish you the best of luck. I do hope we'll be able to see each other again, though."
