Slipping away...

Everything she had accomplished since she left Soul Society had been greater than the whole of her accomplishments with them, revenge had been her goal and she had achieved it. The city was far better than her old home had been, though she spent more time here on rooftops and outdoors with a jug of sake and some dumplings. Tonight she'd found enough time to take a few hours, and get away from it all to get her own sense of peace. Tonight had once been an important night, normally she would have visited the grave of her family after a while of drinking. Finding the highest point after acquiring the jug and small bundle of food, she made her way up there so that she could escape from the noise below. Sitting there with her back to a sloped wall, everything made more sense from here.

"I did what I had to do, no regrets even if you'd hate me for it. It's been too long, since I've been somewhere like this." She said to the sky after taking a big drink and chuckling, before this had anniversary had been regularly handled on the roof of the squad hq. Now it was where she decided to go, though she was very secretive about where and why she vanished so suddenly. Though she often lost track of time and ended up stumbling back sometimes, an hour or two before dawn. This wasn't the same as her old sake either, it was good but she still preferred the matsugane brew that she once had very easy access to. Closing her eyes she could remember what was lost, and right now she was somewhat zoned out lost in her own mind.

It has been a sunny day and she was outside with her mother, though it was warm out there was a slight breeze as the kite flew in the sky that was held in her hands. Her father had been in a meeting since the dawn, and there was the sounds of heated argument coming from the room which made her mother decide it was the kind of weather they should go to the gardens. Though as she ran she tripped and almost dropped it, holding on barely with one hand. "Watch out for the flowers, some of them are rare. Are you ok?" Came the response from behind her, as she was picked up and she tugged the cord to pull it in. "I'm ok, when's dad going to be done? He promised me we'd go visit him today..." Her mother laughed as she amused by this insistence, though they were already here but in that meeting.

(Later that same day...)
When the meeting had ended everything looked like it had gone well, though both groups had been fighting verbally they came to an agreement. She was off with the boy who had been there, the one she would one day marry as per the arrangement between families. They were hiding in a closet talking, joking around, and laughing. However he had to leave soon, and when she was alone she sat there reading from a text that was about family history. However this was where the memory faded on her, perhaps with age memories faded too...

(Present day, present location)

She sat there still more than three hours later with an almost empty container of sake and no more food, disappointed in how short it lasted she didn't relish the idea of going to get more. She'd have to find a different location to buy and a different location to sit, right now she didn't want to be found unless it was important or there was a reason her presence was needed, Jade Cross could get by without her being there even for a night. "Might as well, the night is still young and I'm still not even feeling it." She quietly said to herself before she got back up and headed to find more to drink and eat, this maybe she would find a crowded bar and use the crowd as cover to keep away from notice in.

When a very bad fucking day begins.

Nue, had been wandering about in the north side of the western Menos forest that day, his eyes moving around to take in the different landscapes. Terrain was different there than on earth which intrigued him greatly, but sadly before he had gotten to know more, he had tried to chaos warp his way up to the higher reaches of the forest. Having been way to lazy at that point to try to simply climb up, even though Nue was notorious for going to random places when chaos warping. Such was one of these particular days, which had started out rather indifferent then the rest until he made the stupid decision to Chaos warp. Of course it was known as well Nue would end up doing some pretty freaking stupid things , when he was particularly interested with something. This is how he found himself confused, and not to mention rather pissed off ,tired ,and as well with a strange crick in his lower right shoulder blade in the middle of k world. How Nue got there, was pretty simple, after he had put two and two together. It's a wonder he hates using chaos warping as a mode of transportation ,then again it was quicker then walking and some places needed it to reach them.


Where the hell was Nue, well clear to him and unbeknown to anyone near by it was K world where somehow he had landed his sorry ass. Of all the places, he had to have been dumped in the middle of a fountain. Not one of the most comfortable warp points, being via this Nue now was slightly wet and not to mention more or less in a pretty bad fucking mood. Which is what more or less gave Nue his brilliant, but more over as well expected idea of getting the fuck up, and making his way to the closest bar he could find. Getting up Nue had jostling near by pedestrians and civilians,not to mention a cop or two made his way towards the blaring and distinct neon aquamarine colored pub sign. It was around 8 'o clock when he had slid the inward swinging bar door open, though it had probably been oiled that day because the slight sound it made was almost too faint to hear.

Before entering the pub, Nue noticed 3 things at once. The pub was full of disgusting smelling ass drunks, who probably had more alcohol then they did sense. Second, he noticed that the bar had a nasty smell of second hand cigarette smoke, tobacco chew, Pipes , and not to mention cuban cigars. Which probably even here, where sadly contra- banned but then again they where good damned cigars. These though where not the things which interested him the most, It probably was the third of the things . Which was the fact that Nue himself could sense a faint but definite spiritual pressure from the vicinity of the Bar, so this is where Nue decided his second brilliant idea of the day. To begin to walk around the bar, to see if he himself could find the source of the spiritual pressure. This is why Nue began to walk weaving his way through the bar, a growing sense of curiosity piquing his interest.

She had been sitting there mulling over things with sake and some dumplings, restraining her reiatsu as she often did when in public she could not hide it completely. However she was aware any spiritual presences were around here as well, but as one approached her she looked to the side to see who it was. Unfamiliar with this one she was not going to be rude, but she was still not sure what their intent was unless she could read them closer. Drinking from her cup then refilling it, she tapped beside hers as she knew she would have company. "I'll need another cup here, and another pitcher. I'm expecting company it seems." She then nodded as another cup was placed down with a fresh small pitcher of sake, as hers had one more drink left that she filled and slid over by the time they arrived.

"Might as well have a seat, if you found me then I still need to train myself to hide my rieatsu better. WHat can I do for you, or did someone send you to find me? Yukiko Matsugane, and you are?" Came her initial words that were not cynical as much as they were more inquisitive, she used to drink often with friends but as much as her unit was like her old division had been drinking with Arrancar was not fun to do with all the time. Placing the pitcher in the middle of the two seats at the bar, she waited for him to take the invitation to sit down. Of course she wanted to just try and pass this night with as little memory of it as possible, the older she got the more it seemed to drift away but still haunt her.

'Hello to you too, but your incorrect in one manner, i did'nt sense you more like i felt you in some sense. As to whom i am, i am one of the nature shamans, for the nature iramasha branch you may call me nue gremory iramasha. and whom am i particularly speaking to if i may ask?'
Nue had said when moving forward without a particular grace, nor a clumsy movement, but with a strange befitting grace which just wrapped him like a soft veil. While from him was nothing, even if she could have felt. the lowest of reistu's it was just absolutely nothing due to the fact he was what he said he was and that was a nature iramasha. For now though he just was making conversation with the polite person, as they had decided to make things interesting and come out and show themselves. not only that but thought it was their own problem that they where found. But in fact it was not at all, nue himself just was insainly good at finding people in quick and relevantly short periods of time.

For now, though his muscular and angelic like form had slowly bending his knee's sat down, in a air of elegance and a slight hushed gravity around him, like he was bearing some great sorrow. But beneath it could be felt the untamed spirit and nature which was him and his own. wild and unpredictable. almost like the polar opposite of his demeanor, which was hushed and Forlorn . the simple expression on his face being polite and interested, showing all the courtesies that would be expected at the time and place where they where meeting. While this was true, he also had another agenda behind it, which was simply to find out more about this persons life and origin as well as any info they knew that was concerning the safety of earth, from natural threats and supernatural ones after all he was one of the two nature shamans.
'First, if you could i would love to hear more about you, as well any news you know from the soul society portaining to earth and the vicinity of it. as that is something that concerns my job greatly. if you could.. i would apriciate it, if not we can chat abit, and part ways as strangers. But, if you could help me out, with the info you know it would make my job much much easier.'

Nue said, as he had raised his hand almost casually ordering a scottish apple sumer oak brewed ale, before sliding the correct amount of cash to the waitress now, simply taking a sip. Though this was slow, as he savored the flavor, he also though had then set his glass on a coaster, politely folding his hands over one another as he gave the other his full undevided attention.
