New Day....

-He wakes up looking around thinking to himself-What am I?I do not think i can even possibly be human anymore.I do not feel like an human.I must be some creature.-he looks at his hands then his chest-WHat is this chain in my chest?-He puts is in his right hand looking at it-

Fukaku jumps from rooftop to rooftop in the town. He guards his back instinctively as he sees a fly go by. "...Gotta stop being so jumpy." Fukaku said to himself.

-He stands there feeling very confused-Can anyone see me?-He looks around and notices the people walking by not even noticing him-What shall i do?-He looks at the chain and notices that is just tied to his chest he thinks about wondering the town looking for anwsers about what he is-Lets go...-He walks out the front doors of the high school then goes and sits on a near by tree-

Fukakuu kept on going, running towards the high school. "Hmmm... I sense something. Reiatsu, but it's faint." Fukaku said. Fukaku leapt towards the source, suppressing his reiatsu so as not to bowl over the owner of the reiatsu nearby.

-He sits there sitting playing with the chair curious about it-If i was dead why would i show up at a high school.This is very nerve racking to me.-he leans his head back against the tree closing his eyes still thinking about the chain in his chest-Who am I?I must have a name or something..-He says this quietly to himself trying not to disturb anyone-

Fukaku nodded briskly, feeling the reiatsu near the school. He jumps up on top of the building, a great height he deals with easily. Stopping on top, he uses his eyes to scan for the reiatsu source in the school's frontyard. "Now, where are you.... gotcha!" he says, seeing Kuroi.

-He hears someone above him but does not want to look scared so he still has his eyes closed-Who is doing all that yelling?That is really quiet annoying.-As he is speaking he comes to a realization that almost makes him nervous-So i am guessing that person can see me?-He thinks about intimidating so he puts a cold look onto his face to hide his curiousity-

Fukaku looked around, feeling suddenly irritated. "It's an abandoned school here. Noone's supposed to be here anyway. I'm perfectly entitled to yell on this public property." He replied back.

-He stands up and turns and looks to where the voice is coming from-Then who were those strange people i saw inside.They looked like me with a chain in there chest. Unforgettably mines is in my neck.What is your name if i may ask?-he has a cold expression on his face to show his seriousness about the things he is saying-

"...Fukaku Nayamasa." Fukaku responded, suddenly aware of a possible situation. "Other people with chains, you say? Why aren't you with them. For that matter, how many are there?" Fukaku asked.

Interesting.Call me Kuroi Karasa.Nice to meet you by the way.-He looks at them man directly in the face with a serious expression-Maybe four or five.I did not really stay in there long.I still do not know what i am.Could you explain it to me?-his face becomes more relaxed now but his eyes still have a look of coldness in them-

"Can we do it somewhere else?" Fukaku asked. "The others with chains might get rather violent soon, I'd rather not stick around for them to do so. Only four or five?" Fukaku questioned.

-He scatches his head-Hmm what are you so afraid of?Seems to me you know something i do not know.-His cold expression comes back over his face as he tries to figure out what Fukaku knows that he does not know-We can take this somewhere else then..-He slowly starts heading toward Fukaku cautiously-

"I know many things you do not know. I just don't have the time to tell you them, yet." Fukaku responded, watching the school doors intently. "not hollows yet, but they seem almost there, to my senses" Fukaku thought to himself.

I kind of figured that.Why do you not have to tell me yet?-He stands there looking up-So where are we going?-He leans against the walls waiting for Fukaku reply starting to get annoyed by his dodging around the questions-Just say it already..-he says this with a little anger in his voice-

"Really? Listen, 4 or 5 very hostile creatures are about to burst out that door." Fukaku said, walking away from the building. "And their current intent will be to eat you. if you wanna sit here and talk on this subject anyway, that's fine, but find someone less suicidal to talk to you about it." Fukaku said. "Now, you coming, or not?" He asked, before getting into a fast run.

That sounds kind of scary.But i really do not scare easy.But never the less i shall follow you for now.-He follows after Fukaku with many questions on his mind-Were you ever close with a creature like those inside the building..like good friends with him or her.-He asks this questions noticing how Fukaku has not attacked him yet because he may be a creature-

Fukaku stopped for a second, before respnding, with some irritation, "...You ask odd questions.". Fukaku turned round the bend, before finding the tunnel he'd installed years earlier into his home, a secret way back, built with reika silver to hide reiatsu. It had been easy to set up considering both his own abilities and Ajiro's endless well of funds. "we're here." He said, when they reached the end, the door opening into his old house.

I think i ask the right questions.-He keeps following Fukaku until he sees a hidden door opening into his house-So this is where you live?-He looks around looking for possibly exits in case something goes wrong-Do you avoid a lot of questions?-He still looking around trying to take everything in that he sees-

"Sometimes, I live here." Fukaku responds. "I only avoid the questions I don't want to answer." Fukaku replied. Sitting on the sofa, he offered Kuroi a chair. "Sit down, and I'll explain to you what you neeed to know."

-He looks at Fukaku curiously then sits down looking around him-Hmm okay.You sound very reasonable person to me.Now what exactly can you explain to me about what i am?-His voice and face becomes more relax letting the coldness flush from his face as he sits there waiting for an explanation of what Fukaku has to say-

"when one dies, their soul is attached to a chain. The chain of fate, it is called. It's the average persons anchor into their physical body. as you are now dead, it means that the chain, as is obvious, broke from your physical body." Fukaku replied, pointing at Jinto's quite obvious chain. "this begins a special process for humans, after death, which you are even now speeding towards."

Hmm the chain of fate.I can not be a ghost because i have a physical shape and i do not phase through things.-he puts his chain in his hand then drops it again thinking about what Fukaku just said-Since i have a chain like those people at the High School why did you save me?I am thinking you saw something in another creature like me that you think i may possess

"Even so, most of the living are no longer able to see you. This is, truly, the shape of your soul." Fukaku replied. Purposely ignoring his other comment, he said "Unfortunately for you, this isn't the last step. Eventually, that chain - " Fukaku said, pointing to the chain of fate Kuroi possessed, "Will erode away, and you will change shape and strength."

-He nods his head listening to Fukaku speak thinking about all the he is learning-Hmm that is weird that most can see me.So what are the name for these types of creatures?-He coldness in his voice returns as he ask his follow up question-Forget that last question why is that you do not talk about this other creature i am taking it you must have been close and he died for a good cause maybe?
