Keep them safe.~Side-mission 1A.~

Muttering darkly Altria hurried down the halls of 2nd division,ignoring cheerful good morning greetings from others.Once outside she climbed onto the rooftop via the ladder and headed towards the gates leading to human world using flash step.'What are they thinking,giving me this mission.I would think my dislike for those science freaks is obvious.Well,they'll be the ones responsible then..' Mood darkening when the gateway site appears in the distance,to hide clenched hands she shoved into pockets.Landing near the glowing gates she looked around,frowning upon seeing no one."Great,stupid fool isn't even here yet.This day is getting better and better.And I thought they said there would be someone else as well?Are they also late or did they lie..nothing to do but wait.." Leaning against one of the white columns she closed her eyes,thinking over the past few days.

shin on the barracks, resting...

some member of the squad came to the barracks..

"Squad member Shinichi Yoh-san, we came to tell you about your mission. It was mistakenly given to me but your name was on it so it should be for you."

shin took the the letter and read it...

"Aaeh? I'm late then...you guys will pay for this later..."

shin hurries to go to the gate...

Uriko walks up from behind altria and taps her on the shoulder.
"um.... oneesan?" (uriko seems so shy today) "......um....... I thought i'd ask you......" she whispers in altria's ear so the other shinigami wouldn't be able to hear, "have you... seen shiro? all he left was a note saying he's gone to the human world...."

"No,I haven't seen him.But I'll be in human world too so I'll look around."There's a pattering noise and a figure comes up the steps.Turing to face it she utters a soft gasp."You!What the heck are
you doing here?" Smiling with open amusement the man points at the gate."I'm on a mission to the human world.And I take it
you're my shinigami guard?" Eyes widening in horror she takes a
step back."What?They send you?" Shrugging he adjusts the bundle on his back,"Yeah,everyone else is busy with
projects.Plus we're doing a system re-haul.So you're stuck with me.But
no worries,I have strict orders." He glances around,"Shouldn't there be more people than just you two?"

Uriko looks up and eyes the scientist warily.
"I ........ got this......... mission too........... even though........ i'm with 4th....."
Uriko blushes bright red from nervousness.

"Well then,it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.I'm Niwa of 12th division and also The Department of Research and Development."
Muttering darkly and cursing her bad luck she moves towards the gates,"Let's just get this over with."

"WAIT UP!!"

from afar, shin is running towards them.

"whew, good you guys are still here. sorry i'm late..some messed the note up..."

Uriko stares after Niwa, then follows.
"............................."

~in the human world~
Shiro is sleeping peacefully in a tree.

"Oh good,you caught us just in time.I doubt there's anyone else,so let's go." Walking past the gates she moves down the path until sliding doors appear,opening into the human world.Looking around the street she tires to get oriented.

shin looks around..

"The feelings is still the same...why were we always sent here? Anyway..who's the dude?"


(lol we need more shinigamis...without the others..there's only three of us left)

"Because Karakura town is a spiritually rich area.Souls,Hollows and Shinigami are attracted to this place.I am called Niwa of the 12th division and.."
"Yeah,yeah,we know already so shut up." Interrupting him she started down the street,having figured out their location in regard to the battle site."My,must you be like that?" Glancing over her shoulder long enough to glare at Niwa she turned around,walking a little faster."It's this way,so hurry up."

~(Yeah,no one else is active. ><)~

"Niwa? I'm shin by the way..."

shin then followed...

Shiro stretches the wakes up yawning. "Yaaaawwwnnnn...... Hm?" he looks around and notices Altria , Shin and Uriko escorting another shinigami person in a lab coat. (In thought) 'oi.... not another freak....... thankfully my uniform won't give me away as an arrancar........and thank altria for the black bangle.... i guess i don't have to worry to much about being discovered...' he continues to watch from the tree warily.

"It's a pleasure to meet you then.Do you mind if I ask a few questions?" Catching her suspicious glance he hurriedly adds,"About the fight and the Hollow,Fura is what you called it?" Having no desire whatsoever to answer she utters,"I'll go scout ahead,meet you there,"before flash stepping ahead.

"Okay.." he said to altria..

shin then answers niwa and then asks a questions..

"Yep, it's a big chunk hollow that can spits out menos..it's really strong..it was hard winning against it..umm by the way what exactly is your experiment about..?"

Noticing altria continue on ahead, shiro decides to follow her. He sonidos to the clearing a little ways from where they had fought fura, and sits on top of a large boulder. laying on his back he stares up at the sky daydreaming.

(note: Since shiro has been wearing the black bangle for a long time, his reiatsu signature appears more shinigami like than hollow like.)

Snapping a few more shots of the sky with the camera she pauses,noticing a familiar figure through the lens.Smiling mischievously she lowers her reiatsu to nonexistent levels and quietly stalks towards it,popping up by Shiro seemingly out of nowhere."Hey,whatcha up too?"

Startled Shiro jumps up and whips around his hand grips okamaru unconsiously. He almost draws okamaru when he realizes it's only miyuu. he removes his hand from his sword and sighs in relife.

"geez... don't scare me like that!" he lays down again on the boulder. "what do you want?"

Laughing she sits down on the grass,"Nothing,I was just around." Training the camera on Shiro she snaps a picture.

Shiro glares at the camera.

"what's that? and why did it just flash?" he sounds perplexed.

Looking at Shiro in amusement she holds up the camera,"Oi,how clueless are ya?It's called a camera,it takes pictures of things that can then be printed into these.." She pulls out a small photograph of a tabby cat from her pocket and shows it to him."See?This was the first shot I took.."

shin and niwa..

"Let's go then...we're not safe if we keep hanging around here..."
