My My. Now This is a Predicament! [Area Change]

"Ugh! There is never any tea around here!" complained Olujimi as he search the cabinets of his kitchen. "Oh well." He sighed. "I guess that means I'll be taking a tea run in a little while." Olujimi when into the living room, sat down, and picked up the book he was reading. It was a story about a unlikely hero and him saving his lover. He was neat the end and knew that it was going to be a happy ending. He hated happy endings. Happy endings are for stories that haven't ended yet. People thought he was just evil but it was the truth. Life won't end in a 'happily ever after' so why should books? As Olujimi finished his book, he started to get hungry. "I'm in the mood for some Ramen. Ah, I'm out of that too. Well, I guess it's time to go on my food run." he chuckled as he got up and grabbed his white cane, which doubled as his Zanpakutou.

It was a nice day in the cozy town of Nagano. It wasn't too big but it wasn't a small town either. It was the perfect size for Olujimi. Although he grew up in Karakura Town, just 2 hours north of Nagano, he liked living in a smaller town. Olujimi walked into town to the nearest grocery store and smirked. This was the same weekly task the he performed. He really needed to find something else to do. Nothing really ever happened in Nagano. No Hollows, nothing. That's the only thing he hated about this town. He walked down each isle and grabbed Ramen, some tea leaves, and other things to last him the next week. Maybe a week and a half if he was careful.

As Olujimi walked home, he wished something interesting would happen. Little did he know he would get his wish. He got home and unpacked all of his groceries, fixed himself some Ramen and tea and enjoyed a nice lunch. He watched a couple of his favorite shows and finished up his lunch. Olujimi walked back outside and out towards the outskirts of town. As he got closer he could see the mountain ranges. "Wow. I've never seen such a sight before." he exclaimed. He smiled and walked on, knowing that today was going to be perfect.

The soft echo of light footsteps resonated throughout a blackened abyss. Though the rift held no significant title or purpose for that matter, Ciprés oftened found herself wandering its dark canals. Her visits were temporal and usually led to the mysterious regions within the World of the Living. The fascination the Arrancar had developed for the realm was purely out of selfish curiosity. She had been drawn in by the lives the humans led. She was also a bit surprised at how naive humans were about life. During her previous visits to their world Ciprés had observed the ways humans strutted about without any worries of immeadiate threats.

On her last visit Ciprés stood by undetected, watching a group of humans enjoy hiking up a mountain side. It was a very interesting experience that had intrigued her so much that she promised herself to return to scale a mountain herself. She came to a halt, raising her hand and extending a slender finger out towards the intangible wall of darkness that stood before her. In response to her touch a large tear would appear in the fabric of the void. Expanding into a hole, the tear would open out towards the human realm. The light that eminated from the world she sought would flood into the void, illuminating the once darkened pathway. Stepping over the threshold, she moved through the gateway and came out into the world of the living. In doing so the tear in the fabric would repair themselves, closing behind her.

Upon her arrival the Numerous was greeted by a dazzling sun. The sun's rays swarmed Ciprés, envloping her frame and creating a brilliant constrast as it touch her argent skintone. Her black hair seemed a dark shade of purple under the effects of the sun. Even her attire seemed to be changed by the sun. Her usual cut of jacket variation and white hakama glowed in it's rays.

Out of habit Ciprés had always traveled while suppressing her reiatsu as best as possible. She had grown adept at minimizing the fluctuations and pulses within her reiatsu. It was to the point where she could move comfortably without alerting anyone capable of sensing reiatsu, to her presence. It was useful when utilized with other techniques, which is why she, along with others have grown fond of it's use.

Ciprés had entered the realm through the use of her garganta and ended up standing in mid air, a great distance from the base of the mountain she wished to explore. Unconsciously she began her descent towards the village below. Of course she landed undetected by the everyday humans passing by. Determined to accomplish her goal of reaching the mountain top, Ciprés set off towards it's base. She walked properly through the crowds, careful not to disturb the humans as they engaged in everyday routines. Steadily she worked her way towards the outskirts of town where she stumbled upon a man donned in black. With one glance the Arrancar had gotten a wierd vibe from the guy. Her mind dwelled on the man, though her thoughts were quickly cleared with the assumption he was just a human. But there were still possibilities. If there was one thing she had learned from her life as a hollow, was that assumptions led to death.

If the man showed any indication of knowing she was present then Ciprés would react from there.

It really was a fantastic day. The birds were out, the sun was shinning. There wasn't even a cloud in the sky. As Olujimi walked out futher to the outskirts of town, he couldn't help but think that he should go and climb the mountain. Sure it would take a bit of time but since nothing ever happened in town anyway, he might as well go for it. He smiled and headed for the base of the mountain. On the way, he saw some familiar face and some friends that he had made while livng in Nagano. He said hi and stopped to talk to a few of them. They were nice enough. Not what Olujimi would call "Best Friends" though. He said his good byes and went on his way.

It took him a good two hours to walk to the base of the mountain where the hiking trails were. He started up the trail that was rarely used. It was considered too dangerous and only the people who knew they could handle the trail would go. As he started up the trail, he noticed an oddly dressed woman up ahead. She was wearing all white clothing. *Well, that's odd. Ecspecially for a woman.* he thought. That's when he noticed it. Well them. First it was the white piece of, what looked like, bone and then his attention was drawn to the womans hips. There, attached to the black sash, was a katana. He looked around and no one even paid any mind to her.

*This means one of two things: One, I'm crazy and seeing things or two, my wish is about to come true.* he thought as he continued walking. No matter were he went he felt as though the woman's eyes were following him. Finally, he cautiously walked up to the woman and asked, "Um, excuse me. I couldn't help but notice that you were staring at me. Don't you know that that's rude?" He wasn't trying to be rude but it really was rude to stare. After looking the woman over for a few more seconds, he knew his wish had come true.

There it was— "it" being the movement that would be perceived by her peripherals as the man made his way towards her. Instincts; the most basic of functions, controlled by the most primal and predisposed impulses of the mind and soul. It would be these impulses that would send Cipres on the offensive. The first of these instinct driven actions would be the high speed movement known as Sonido. However as oppose to a normal Sonido, hers wouldn't produce the static sound that usually emits upon executing the technique. Reason being the same technique she had been using to minimize the fluctuations and pulses within her reiatsu. The result; a silent, virtually undetectable movement that would place Cipres directly behind the man while he was beginning to speak.

Slightly raising one finger, she would then utilize an advanced variation of bala, unleashing a crimson barrage of small orbs. All of which were aimed at the center of the man's back. It was a sudden assault that was quite common within Hueco Mundo and Los Noches. It would seem that living within the two had taken effect on her entirely. But regardless it had to be this way. If the man wasn't capable of defending himself, then the barrage Cipres had fired would rip a hole through the guy's back and out through the center of his chest.

But again the thought of possibilities flickered into the Arrancar's mind. With eyebrows arched Cipres would kick off from the ground, stirring up some dust as she created some distance between herself and her target. Meanwhile she focused on her pesquisa to sense for any would be fluctuations of reiatsu. If all went well there wouldn't be any, but then again there were always possibilities, especially when dealing with the unknown.

"Well are-" Before he even got halfway through his sentence, the woman was gone. But she didn't run. No. This was a quick flash and she was somewhere else. Olujimi's wondered where she "flashed" off to. He got his answer. His question was answered with the feeling of something piercing his back. It wasn't until a flash was coming out of the center of his chest that Olujimi realized that he had moved in behind him and attacked from the back. Smart move. But he should of see this coming. He was smarter than this. He shouldn't be falling to the ground dying.....but he was. It would be his last mistake. As Olujimi fell to his knees and looked up at the mountains. He would never be able to scale those mountains. What a shame. At least he was dying with the picture of some natural beauty.

As Oluijimi hit the ground face first, he started coughing up a white liquid that started forming around his body. He was also immediately drawn into his inner world. Inside the post-apocalyptic cityscape, he roamed around in confusion. He had been here many times before but only when he was communicating with his Zanpakutou's spirit. "Giichi? Where are you?" Olujimi continued to wonder about aimlessly and ended up on top of the tallest skyscraper in his inner world. "You still haven't figured out why your here have you?" said a voice. It sounded close. Like it was right behind him. Olujimi turned around and standing before him was silver-haired man in what looked like an Arrancar outfit. Olujimi questioned, confused. For what seemed like years, the two just stared at each other and sized each other up. He noticed that, strapped to the man's waist was the same Zanpakutou that Olujimi had.

The man just smirked and chuckled. "Oh my. Where are my manners." the man started. "My full name is Aere Cazador but you may call me Aere. Or master. I prefer the latter since that's what you will be calling me in the very near future." Oluijimi put his right hand on the hilt of his Zanpakutou and glared at Aere. He wasn't prepared for a fight but if it came down to it, he would fight to the death. That was the ideals instilled in him from his Captain. "You still haven't answered my question. Why are you here?" he asked as calmly as he could. "Isn't it obvious, Olujimi?" he laughed. "I'm here to take over for you."

Ciprés watched as her target, the man, fell face first towards the ground. His descend to the earth brought relief to the Arrancar. However the decrease in adrenaline flow was shorted lived. With eyes still arched and focussed on the man, she noticed a white symbiotic liquid began to form beneath his frame. Perhaps coming from the wound she had inflicted. This was accompanied by an oddly familiar, yet far from distinguishable formation of reiatsu. The disturbing prescence would send Ciprés pesquisa on alert. Causing her to question her course of action. Being hollow by nature her instincts urged her to finish off the corpse. Her sense of reason brought a different approach to the situation. [purple]Perhaps what ever this man was, was something beyond a simple shinigami, hollow, or even arrancar?'[/purple]

Ciprés didn't have an actual answer to the question her mind had asked. But she felt more would come from sparing what was left of his life. Another silent sonido would return Ciprés to the man's location. Reaching down, one hand would grab onto the man's wrist. While the other hand summoned forth another garganta. Tightening her grip on his wrist, Ciprés would swing her arm, exerting enough force to toss his body into the void, while still keeping the contact she held. Reluctantly she allowed her body to be pulled along into the abyss, managing to sneak one last glance at the mountains she wished to conquer.
