You Never Know Who You're Gonna Meet.

It was a rather bright and sunny day outside. There was probably one one cloud in the sky, and even that was small. The beams shone down brightly, though oddly the temperature was fairly mild. It looked like just about anywhere in Seireitei. Long narrow walkways, walls, and identical buildings in every direction. One with a lack of knowledge of the area would probably find themselves lost rather quickly. Though what someone like that would be doing in Seireitei remained to be seen.

Out from the nearby Squad 5 Barracks stepped out a lone Shinigami. As the man stepped out, he looked up at the sky. He raised his arm and used his hand to shield his face from the sun, before looking back down. The man's name was Snopy Saika. The man had a rather lean build, though he wasn't exactly small due to his height of 5'10. The sun shone off of his blonde hair, which extended down to and stopped at his shoulders. The light reflected off of his eyes in an interesting manner. The way they reflected caused his left eye to sparkle a bright pink, and his right a shade of purple. This was most likely due to his left eye indeed being pink, and his right purple. The light simply gave them a certain sparkle, one the man was never aware of.

Spoiler:

The outfit the man wore was like most Shinigami, to a certain extent. The main difference being that his was missing a left sleeve. Snopy preferred it this way, it gave a little more of his body some fresh air. He also thinks it gave a certain effect that he felt was nice. Others thought it strange, but he was never one to really care what random people he barely talked to thought. On his right hip was his sheathed Zanpakutō. It was strange, for reasons he didn't understand the cloth on the handle changed color from time to time. This time, it was the same shade of purple as his right eye. At others, it was like his left.

It had been a long day for Snopy. He had recently been promoted to fourth seat in the division. Normally, he wouldn't have too much extra work. However, with the current lack of a captain, the paperwork piled down the line. He had spent the entire day sorting out the various papers that he had somehow accumulated around him. He hoped once the pileup was dealt with that there would be less to deal with. He would rather avoid a never ending stream of paperwork.

Whatever the case, he had finally sorted out everything with his squad and he was off. Off to do what he did not know. He would probably enjoy anywhere that wasn't the barracks. The sun felt nice to him, in a strange sort of way. For whatever reason he preferred rain to sun. Maybe its because the cool water felt nice, or maybe he just didn't like sunburn. He hadn't really thought about it, and he felt it would be a waste of time to try. So with the sun shining down on him, the Shinigami began to walk. He had no real destination in mind. He simply planned to walk. Maybe he'd bump into someone, maybe not. Either way, he had a feeling today was going to be interesting.

As Snopy walked he noticed it was awfully quiet. Despite all the work he did he had somehow gotten done early, maybe because he started early. As he walked a light breeze blew past him. It was a nice breeze, certainly one that was enjoyable. Though Snopy, would feel no such joy. He was deep in thought, thinking about some recent events that had transpired. He had one hell of a week, and he knew it was only going to get stranger. Of course, few were stranger than him. He admitted he was a little insane, he didn't hide it. Yet somehow, he had a feeling he'd meet someone even stranger than he. He hit the nail on the head.

He looked up at what appeared to be a female. It appeared that she was trying to find her way, yet something wasn't right. He was sensing a strange vibe from this "girl". One thing that might have tipped him off was that, though he'd usually be attracted to that kind of look, he found himself awfully neutral about it. Though, he was unaware of this, as he didn't tend to focus on how attracted he was to people. The word "trap" didn't cross Snopy's mind as he walked up to the female.

You appear to be lost. Is there somewhere you need to be? He spoke in his usual easy-going tone, with his usual friendly look on his face.

Snopy listened to the female, and it appeared he had been drafted. He still go the weird vibe from her, but he pushed it out of his thoughts. His intuition sensed no reason to distrust this person, at least from certain viewpoints. Ok then, lets go. As they began to move the girl stopped and turned for a moment. She bowed down and gave out her name, before asking for his. Formalities weren't his thing, he wasn't raised with them and he was uncomfortable with them. Though he could do it himself to an extent, he felt strange when someone else bowed for him.

Oh, I'm Snopy, Snopy Saika...I know, strange name. Also I'm sorry, I'm bad at formalities. So, I apologize for my, er, lack of. He apologized as best he could. Normally he didn't pay any mind to formalities, but this girl seemed to have been raised that way. The polite thing to do was at least apologize. So anyway, seeing as you don't know the place you must be new. What squad are you from? Snopy asked to get some kind of insight on this girl. Squad was a good place to start, though he didn't get why he felt so uneasy around her.

Snopy saw the girl seemed a little confused at his questions, though he couldn't fathom why. Either way he listened contently as she gave an answer. It didn't really surprise him that she was from squad 1. Why, there was no real reason. He just kinda didn't find it odd. Unsurprisingly, she bounced the question right back at him. Oh, I'm from Squad 5, I'm its 4th seat. Not as impressive as it sounds, I'm not actually that powerful myself. But our Division specializes in Kidō, and I am quite competent for my level.

He spoke not realizing that he had rambled a bit, until the end. He stopped himself when he realized he was. He watched as her eyes widened and she appeared to get nervous. She immediately changed the subject to taking a walk, and having some fun while they were at it. But she was oddly nervous about it. She had gotten really nervous really fast. Whoa, take it easy. You're all tense, there is no reason to be nervous around me. Lets just relax, and we will go for that walk, ok? He spoke in a friendly tone, and he himself had eased up. He had a smile some would consider comforting on his face.

He began to walk and expected her to walk along with him. He didn't know what he had gotten himself into, but for now his focus was on taking it easy and keeping things relaxed. So Nadeshiko, why did you join the Gotei 13 anyway?

Snopy listened and raised an eyebrow. It was rather strange for someone to not know exactly why they joined the Gotei 13. She seemed to have given a reason, but he felt that she was doubting it. Usually when you do something so big you know why you're doing it. Snopy just assumed she was the type of person to do things on a whim. Though, for some reason he didn't think that was the way to describe it. There was something about this girl he couldn't put his thumb on. He didn't worry too much about it though. He didn't feel she would try to kill him in his sleep or anything.

You want to know more about your powers better huh? You and me both. Ever since I became a Shinigami I've wondered something. Things felt natural. Though I may not be the best in terms of Zanjutsu or Hoho, I picked them up rather easily. Another thing I find strange is that I learn Kidō without even trying. To top it off, when I was alive I was born with immense spiritual pressure. Why was I so strong, why is being a Shinigami so natural. He laughed a bit. If I didn't know better I'd say my parents were hiding something. He let off a long sigh as the laughter died down. Well, its not really important, I'm sure I'm boring you. They continued to walk through Seireitei, and Snopy began to realize that at this point it was just wandering. Either way, he knew Seireitei quite well at this point. The point of this whole thing was so Nadeshiko could learn how to navigate Seireitei after all.
