~Jibaku-Pain of a bound soul.

~Human world,10:15 pm~
Perched on a tree branch Altria shivers as a gust of wind tugs at her hair."Brr..cold.I should have dressed warmer."Looking at the old factory with its yawning black windows and broken glass shards glinting like teeth she can't suppress a shudder at the though of having to go inside.The wind picks up,raising a chilly shrill sound whistling through the broken roof."Someone have better show up,there's no way I'm going inside there alone,mission be damned."

shin appeared above the light post.

"Is this the place? where is everyone?"

Shiro appears out of nowhere and sits on the tree branch next to Altria.
"Hm hm..... kind of a spooky place wouldn't you say?" He smiles at Altria slyly.

shin saw both of them from afar.

"There they are!"

shin then follows them there..

Uriko is sitting under a tree and staring up at the sky.

"Gyah!!" Jumping up a few feet into the air in surprise at Shiro's sudden appearance,and forgetting she's on a tree branch,Altria topples over landing on the ground with a painful thud.Staring up at the spinning upside down world for a few minutes she manages to collect herself and pull up into a sitting position. Rubbing a sore elbow she tilts her head up and glares at Shiro,"You jerk!Stop popping up like that,almost gave me a heart attack."

Shiro chuckles slightly then jumps out of the tree and lands gracefully next to Altria. "Hee hee hee..... I'm sorry. Here," Shiro holds his hand out to Altria, "I didn't mean to startle you." He smiles sweetly.

"Uh-huh." Sweeps a leg under Shiro's feet toppling him over as well.

Shiro lands on his back with a thud. "Gah! OW!" (shiro's hollow mask cracks slightly) "?!" Uh?

"What the.." Sits up quickly,"I'm sorry.Didn't mean for that to happen.." Looks at the mask worriedly.

shin came.

"What's up guys? What's the mission about?"

(in thought)
"I wonder why I always don't listen about the mission whatsoever.. "

Shiro shakes his head then sits up. "erg.... ouch.... that hurt. huh?" he reaches back and feels a few cracks spiderwebbing across the the dragon jaw. "?! um..... Altria...... do you know what you just did?" his looks turns serious almost scary. "you've just done something.........." he pauses seeming to sound angry," I've been trying to do for 50 YEARS!!!" Shiro's expression changes into a huge smile, then he gets up and streches. "Yes!! It finally cracked!!" XD (shiro is exstatic)

"Eh?Wha-what?I don't understand.." Looking at Shiro's ecstatic expression in puzzlement she gets up and dusts off stray blades of grass."Did you hit your head or something?Why would you want that mask to break,isn't it painful?"

shin with his 'eh' face...

(in thought) with his sad expression
"It's like I'm not even here..."

shin became sad (like in a funny way) then in his imagination, the background became dark. he's in the corner with some kind of black aura and he's murmurring stuffs..

"It's like I'm not even here...I'm a ghost...they don't feel me...they don't see me...I'm nothing...I'm being ignored.. "

"Huh?Shin are you alright?Why are you muttering?This place really is creepy.To be honest I don't really want to go in there either.." Casting a look at the factory she shivers.'Why did they have to send me..I hate creepy stuff like this..at least Shin ad Shiro are here..'

Shiro looks over at shin. "Oh hi Shin!" ^^ (shiro seems too happy)

"Alright,kindly explain..why do you want that mask cracked?"

"Because! This thing is annoying! and whenever i take a stroll from the 2nd division barracks, everyone stares at me." Shiro pokes at the cracked part of the mask and is surprised when a piece of it breaks off. "!! oops.. oh well." ^^

Stares at the fallen piece speechless."How is that possible exactly?I though mask fragments were a part of Arrancars..this is really weird."

"No... they are just remnents of the white masks that once hid our faces.... breaking them off is said to give a hollow more power."

"Huh,I see." Smiling mischievously she leans close to whisper,"You should thank me then for toppling you over and helping break that thing.." Laughing she pulls away and turns towards the factory."Come on then,I don't want to hang around here more then necessary.That jibaku could turn any moment."

Shiro smiles mischieviously, and then follows altria. ^^

shin looks at shiro..

"That is really cool, then that means you got stronger..."

he then turns to altria seeing her somewhat uncomfortable......

"It's not that creepy yet, altria-san."

"Uwah,don't say that!Whenever someone says that things immediately get freaky creepy!" She circles around the factory looking for a usable entrance,"This is strange..the jibaku should be bound to this building..but I neither feel nor sense anything.What about you guys?"
