Tsukasa had a bit of a new experience as he traveled to what was called the ‘Hidenseido’. He had walked into a big gaping black hole from the Tsubakidai Park, created by Kisho Haruo, a Vizard, whatever that was. He had simply been walking through a dark tunnel with the view of a large building on the other end. The path wasn’t actually that long, so Tsukasa didn’t really get a chance to think about anything other than wonder how this gate-like pathway worked. Eventually managing to reach the end, Tsukasa had simply stepped out, landing in front of the large area. There was a huge building in front of him. It was actually a pretty…awe-inspiring sight. Was this place in Karakura Town? Or somewhere else? He had never seen this building before. ”What a piece of architecture…” Tsukasa thought to himself as he moved closer to the building.
Turning his head to the side, Tsukasa took a glimpse behind him to see the black gate still open. It was rather…eye-like in terms of shape. Well, he had originally looked back to see if the leader had arrived. Tsukasa had already said that he would be waiting on the other side; there was no need to move anywhere. He would likely get lost in that unfamiliar building anyways. Turning his head back front, Tsukasa walked towards one of the large walls and turned around, leaning his back against the wall. Crossing his arms, Tsukasa kept his crimson red eyes locked on the ‘Garganta’. He was a patient person, so he had no problem just standing idly until Kisho would arrive. ”I wonder how that thing works though…it kinda felt like I was just…walking through on some sort of isolated path…” Tsukasa thought to himself, curious as to how that thing worked.
”Oh…that’s right…someone else came through too…” Tsukasa suddenly remembered as he broke eye contact with the gate, looking around. There had been that other Shinigami besides Saito. He didn’t know what his name was, but the Shinigami had also accepted the offer and had walked into the portal awhile before Tsukasa had. ”I wonder where he is now…? Did we get out at the same place…?” Tsukasa continued to ponder. He broke his curiosity though; there was no point in wondering. He was likely to meet with the Shinigami eventually, whether it be now or later. What was more important to him was Kisho Haruo. How exactly could this man make him stronger? By what means? What was there to do here? There was too much he didn’t know that he would have to ask eventually if he wasn’t told.

Hideo was closer than Tsukasa would realize, standing a top the very wall the boy was leaning against, staring out at all that was Hidenseido. The moment he emerged from the Garganta the blond hopped up the wall to get a better view. It was surprising, to say the least. Soul Society wasn't lacking in the information area and that fact that something like this existed completely under their radar was something indeed.
He smirked, pondering the possibilities. He would get stronger, no doubt about that... He glanced at his zanpaktou at his hip. He had seen his spirit, he knew that it was in the visage of a bird. He just couldn't hear the name it called. It was still so far out of his reach, and without it he knew his growth would be stunted. He frowned, glancing back at the garganta as Tsukasa stepped through.
As the human would lean against the wall, Hideo would drop down beside him. His blue eyes focused on the tear in reality, wondering if they were the only ones who had accepted the offer. He glanced at Tsukasa. He imagined they would be, now, figuring Saito wouldn't want to do anything he felt SS disagreed with. He had only met the other Shinigami but he got that impression.
He crossed his arms and waited.

[maroon]Slowly he walked through the black tunnel, he was in no real rush to get through the dimensional tear. Either way he would reach his destination and the two that had accepted his offer, would be waiting for him. In fact, through the opening at the far end of the Garganta he could see the two males awaiting his arrival, his eyesight was pretty damn good. Smiling slightly under the mask he knew that his roster of worthy individuals was slowly growing, he had Kyotei serving directly under him, his daughter and cousin, now two more had joined. On top of that there were low and unranked Shinigami rogues within the streets of Hidenseido but they went about their business and did not ask for much.
Stepping out of the Garganta and allowing it to close behind him, eyes landed on the two that stood only feet away. The first human of Hidenseido had joined the ranks, it would be interesting to see how he fit in and mingled with the others. Of course he would be treated well but any spars and the like would definitely be different, and enjoyable to watch. In fact he would most likely get a demonstration of that tonight, he was curious about the powers he possessed in all honesty. He didn't know any humans with spiritual abilities or awareness, aside from Riri when she was a Quincy. That hardly counted.
"Welcome, to Hidenseido. Your new home."
It was brief, but he did not yet know of their names. That would be the first piece of information to gather before anything began. He could not train nameless individuals.
"You have learned of my name, but both of yours remain a mystery to me. Before you ask questions, please introduce yourselves. Then feel free to ask anything that may be on your minds."
After that, they could begin their long and tiresome process. It would not be easy for either of them, but it was the price they had to pay for power.

Tsukasa hadn’t the opportunity to realize that Hideo was actually on top of the wall that he was leaning on. As Hideo jumped from the top of the wall, the Shinigami landed next to Tsukasa, who had turned immediately to observe. ”So he was nearby after all…” Tsukasa thought to himself. It’s not like Hideo knew how to navigate the Hidenseido, so he would likely have been somewhere near the entrance anyway. Well, it’s not like it really mattered too much. What was more important was Kisho. Tsukasa wasn’t the type to complain or bother…but waiting was still boring, no matter how patient a person could be.
Soon enough, the Vizard stepped out of the portal. He sure did look like he had taken his time. There was not much to it though; there was no doubt that there was no rush needed. ”New home…huh…” Tsukasa thought to himself as he listened to Kisho’s words. He would be leaving his mother behind now. He felt a little guilty about it; his father had died not too long ago and now he would be departing as well. There was no doubt that he would be able to visit every now and then, but for the time being…he would just have to call home and make up some convenient excuse. That could be saved for later though. For now, his introduction was necessary.
”Shirayuki Tsukasa.” he said as he kept his eyes on the Vizard. For the time being, Tsukasa had not a shred of interest in the Shinigami that was next to him. There were so many other things that were on his mind: how would he get stronger from now on? Would Kisho personally train them? What was life like here? Is the training tough? No doubt it should be, but these kinds of things, he couldn’t help but wonder. He didn’t need to ask any of this though. These were all things he would find out on his own once his training here starts. There were, however, some things that only others could tell him in order for him to learn.
”What’s a Vizard?” Tsukasa asked. Kisho Haruo had said that he was a ‘Vizard’. There was no doubt that the air around him seemed somehow…different, but he still looked like a Shinigami to him. He didn’t look like a Hollow at all. Truth be told though, Tsukasa had no idea about any of this stuff. He wouldn’t be able to recognize a Hollow, reiatsu, or any of that on his own by name alone. These were things he only recognized by appearance. Having self-taught himself his own abilities up until this point, he had no knowledge on the whole spiritual thing. He only knew the name ‘Shinigami’ from a brief encounter that he had had with one awhile back.
Tsukasa wanted to know more about this stuff. Now that he finally had someone who knew all this stuff, gathering this information would likely benefit him greatly.

Kisho stepped through the Garganta as casually as he'd done the first time, radiating calm power. Hideo simply stared at the Vizard, remaining where he was as he leaned against the wall. He and Tsukasa stared at the man who merely welcomed them into their "new home". Hideo didn't say anything at that. He figured he'd be allowed outside when he needed to.
"You have learned of my name, but both of yours remain a mystery to me. Before you ask questions, please introduce yourselves. Then feel free to ask anything that may be on your minds."
Tsukasa was quick to ponder the question of what a Vizard was. The blond shinigami smirked. He knew well enough what a vizard was. A Shinigami who has dipped into the power of their inner hollow. A step Hideo himself who possibly take soon.
"A Vizard... a masked soldier. They are Shinigami who have taken power from their inner Hollow." he said, staring into the masked face of Kisho. "At least that is what I have heard." he added.

[maroon] It was interesting, that after such a display of power and an encounter with both, Hollow, and Shinigami the human only had one question. He wanted to know what a Vizard was, but it should have been expected really. Not even the Shinigami knew what Vizard were, let alone the humans. But he nodded, he did tell the boy that any questions he had would be answered, but he would just give him the simple version.
"Every Shinigami has a barrier placed within their soul, it keeps the Hollow side at bay. They are unaware this side even exists, however once the barrier is broken the Hollow leaks out. Long ago my barrier was shattered by an Arrancar, and from it my Inner Hollow was born. It allows me to call on the mask you saw, and use power much like the Hollow you encountered tonight."
He turned slightly and looked out at the residents below.
"It is not a pleasant power."
Well he was telling the truth, having these powers and abilities came with a price. More grief and pain than anyone could ever encounter in their lifetime, although every Vizard transformation was different in some way, much like Kyotei's. It progressed at a unusual rate, and the Hollow had gained hunger much too fast. But that was neither here nor there. Instead he decided to quickly brief Tsukasa on Hidenseido.
"This organization is split into many different Divisions, each having a Captain or Yokun. The Yokun are the Hollow and Arrancar masters. Each Captain and Yokun have second in commands, Lieutenants. As for our rules, they are simple."
Some were like Soul Society, others were not.
"A position of power may be challenged, provided you have the correct strength and abilities. There is no killing within my school, weapons are permitted. You may come and go as you please, however if you are needed for something, you are to respond immediately."
It was brief but the longer the human was here, the easier it would be for him to see how things worked. Words could only do so much.[/maroon]
[green]"Now on to why you're here. To get stronger. Unfortunately I do not know much about spiritually aware humans, but I will aid you in whatever way I can. Is there something specific you need?"[/green]

Tsukasa listened intently toward Kisho’s words. He now had some knowledge on the Vizard now. He wasn’t too sure what all this speak about barriers and Inner Hollow was about. Or rather, he didn’t quite fully understand what it meant. But what he was told was sufficient enough for him. A Vizard was a Shinigami who had access to Hollow powers somehow, meaning that they were probably stronger. They were probably also illegal, seeing as how Shinigami were apparently trained to extinguish these Hollows. After that though, the Vizard had started to inform Tsukasa about the Hidenseido, knocking down another question that Tsukasa would have likely asked eventually.
The Hidenseido was an organization, basically. It was comprised of a variety of beings, Humans, Hollows, Shinigami, and Tsukasa guessed Vizard alike. There was one thing that he didn’t know though. Arrancar? What was that? Tsukasa’s knowledge on spiritual beings was very limited. He knew what Shinigami, Vizard, and Hollow were. He didn’t know what reiatsu, reiryoku, or anything related was. Having never encountered an Arrancar before, of course he didn’t know what it was. He didn’t even have the slightest clue.
Putting that aside though, the Hidenseido’s method of operations was pretty ideal to him. Tsukasa could choose whether he stayed here or came here whenever he wished. He would be summoned in times of need, which is mandatory, but Tsukasa didn’t mind that part at all. He enjoyed fighting, so being called to join a battle was more of a convenience rather than an obligation.
”Unfortunately, I do not know much about spiritually aware humans…”
That part got to Tsukasa a little though. Kisho wasn’t too familiar with Humans with powers. It probably wouldn’t be that big of a deal, but it could still prove to be a little troubling. Kisho would help him nonetheless, so there were no problems.
”I just need power.” Tsukasa stated as a reply to the man’s question. For the sake of becoming stronger, Tsukasa needed to be able to master and strengthen his current spiritual abilities. He had knowledge of how they worked but they hadn’t been improving too much even though he had been fighting Hollows at any chance that he got. His strength, in terms of physical fitness, was well above that of the average high school student. Even if he decided to try and maximize how strong his body was though, there was only so far a regular Human could get. Not even the world’s strongest Human would stand a chance against a Hollow.
Since Tsukasa was, in his opinion, lucky to have been blessed with spiritual abilities, he wanted to take advantage of them. The Hidenseido would help him with this. Tsukasa was curious about one thing though. When would his training begin? It was probably best to ask. It would happen sooner or later, but Tsukasa was eager to start.
”When exactly will I get to be trained?” he asked. He did have that question about Arrancar, but he could really care less. He would ask later if anything.
