A strange hollow signature has been reported in Karakura town. It appears and seems to disappear at will, what's causing the disturbance is unknown. The disturbance has been going on for the last two days, and seems to be coming from a powerful presence. No casualties have been reported or if there are they have not been discovered.

Altria laughs,"Pfftt..hee hee..too cute." Shaking her head she addresses Fenikkusu,"Shiro's reiatsu is still being blocked,is there any way to fix it?Some obstruction or maybe a seal in the inner world that's causing it?I'm really not sure what it was that Mikiru did.."

Fenikkusu stares at Altria, "..... The seal is something you can only break by forcing him to use his reiatsu.... just have him try using skills that require a high amount of reiatsu... That's all." Fenikkusu fades into a cloud of blue embers which then swirl around Shiro's zanpaku-to and disappear. "um.... huh?" has a clueless look on his face.

"Hm..high amount of reiatsu..ah,I know!" Smiling mischievously she unsheathes Tsukiyomi."Why don't we have a fight,Shiro?It's the best way to do it.But I won't go easy.Are you up to it?"

Uriko has a somber look on her face, she looks up and notices Altria with Shin and someone else in the field. "..... sigh....... " she continues past and shifts her bag to a more comfortable position on her shoulder.

Shiro's eyes widen in surprise. " What?! bu-bu-but.... I.... " his voice drifts off. "oh.... alright..." He draws his long black kunai and makes a stance.

"Just a friendly spar Shiro,something to help unlock you spirit energy again.The best way to do what Fenikkusu said is to fight using lots of kidou.Now watch carefully,I'll show you a few now and you need to use them during the spar.Think of it as a quick crash course." Thinking for a moment about where to start she decides to go from the beginning,doubting he had any experience with kidou beforehand."You start by gathering reiatsu into the hand you're using,personally I usually use left which leaves right free to hold the zanpakuto.You have to be careful,gather too little and the spell will either fizzle or be seriously underpowered.Gather too much and it'll blow up in your face or be too destructive." She lifts her left hand,slight silvery tendrils of her spirit energy gather around it."Reiatsu wouldn't be always visible,this is just so you can actually see.Now as you know kidou falls into two categories,the destruction spells-hadou and the binding spells-bakudo.Some of them have incantations you must recite beforehand.Once you master that kidou you can skip the incantation but it will be less powerful then,so unless you're in a real hurry it's a good idea to say them.Now,this is a very basic hadou." Pointing her left hand at him she clearly states," Hadou #1-Shou!" With a slight force Shiro gets pushed back a bit."Not much but handy when you need space and it can be much more forceful.Now here's a very powerful one,remember the incantation.Ye lord! Mask of blood and flesh, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! On the wall of blue flame, inscribe a twin lotus. In the abyss of conflagration, wait at the far heavens."She points her hand up into the sky,"Hadou #64-Sōren Sōkatsui." Two shots of blue fire are fired from her hand and fly up,disappearing into the blueness of the sky."Alright,now for some bakudo." She points her left hand in front of herself,"Bakudo #39-Enkosen!" A shield of condensed reiatsu appears in front of her.Waving her hand she dispels it after a moment."Now one more,this is high level and extremely useful.Bakudo #81-Danku." An energy barrier in a from of a rectangular form forms in front of her."This will block hadou 1-81,so it's a very useful thing to know." Waving her hand she dispels it as well."Alright,it's a bit much to remember but you can do it.Try to copy the rest as I do them,now let's start?" She takes a stance.Noticing Uriko crossing the field her face lights up and she waves,"Hey!Uriko!Uriko,over here!"

Shiro gathers what reiatsu he has around his right hand, and point it at Altria. "Hadou #1- Shou!" a huge force serges from shiro and pushes Altria off her feet. realizing he may have over done it, he blushes. "Ah! S-sorry! Altria-san!"

shin finally saw shiro and finally he's at ease cuz he felt the surroundings are normal again especially for altria.

"Is that Shiro..?!"

shin then turns to altria

"Altria-san, why didn't you tell us?"

Shiro forgets about what he's doing when he heard Shin call his name, "huh? ....... oh...... Hello.... um.... Have we met?" he has a curious expression on his face as he stares at Shin.

(note: in case people didn't know, Shiro doesn't look the same anymore, His eyes changed color and are blue, his hair is chocolate brown, and he doesn't have the #7 tattoo or any other hollow like features. He is basically a normal looking person.)

Uriko looks over at Altria, and waves. " hi altria..... I'm heading home......... if you want to see me.... I'll be in my room..." she heads back to the barracks. (in thought) '...... it's not the same.............. shiro.............' she seems very depressed and gloomy.

"It's fine,that's what I was hoping would happen.Your spirit energy just needs a push." Getting to her feet Altria dusts herself off."Shin..I'm sorry.It happened a bit fast and I wasn't really thinking clearly..but I should have found and told you guys first.Sorry.." Watching Uriko leave she sighs."Thing is..Shiro doesn't remember his previous life.."

"I see, that answers why he doesn't remember me, i thought he's just teasing me again. Anyway, it's alright altria-san"

shin looks at shiro clearly...

"Where are his hollow mask and holes, and his espada number...what actually happened to him?"

"I'm not a hundred percent sure but..I do have a theory,kind off..You know when we "kill" a Hollow with a shinigami zanpakuto we actually return them to the previous state of being a plus and send off to SS?Well,whatever else he might be Mikiru's still a shinigami and has a zanpakuto of one..and Arrancars are still Hollows..so maybe that's what happened to Shiro.He's pretty much a shinigami now.." She looks away in thought."At least,that's the best I could come up with..since reincarnation really doesn't work that fast.."

She shrugs,"No idea.Maybe he'll show up as part of shikai or bankai?I really don't know..

Shiro looks at his zanpakuto, the black surface of the kunai shows his refelcetion. ".... shikai? ..... hm......" He smiles suddenly and runs off a little ways then swings his kunai. "Fenikkusu!" he waits a few seconds nothing happens. "... huh? Fenikkusu!!!" nothing happens. "augh.... it worked before..."

Stares at Shiro curiously."Don't you have a release command?Just shouting your zanpakuto's name generally doesn't work..what do you mean before?"

Shiro turns to Altria, " it kinda happened..... those guys from 11th are always chasing me.." he looks away somewhat embarresed. " um.... release command .... um......" he thinks of something to say.

Watches Shiro curiously."You don't know?It's fine..What do you mean,what happened?" She looks slightly confused.

"well... " he blushes, " I kinda learned it by accident.." he looks thoughtful. "ok.. lets see." he turns away from altria, and takes a deep breath and concentrates, " Show 'em real fire! FENIKKUSU!" the kunai glows and there's a sudden blast of heat, the kunai transforms into a long black katana with a small dragon skull guard, a spiked hand guard protects his hand, and two long blue tassels trail off the end of the hilt.
"!!" is shocked.
(note: this is what shiro's sword looked like before he died)

Staring at the transformed zanpakuto she smiles,"It's back to normal.This is rather interesting.What can you do with it?Like,special abilities?"

"um.... i don't know.... last time i used it... this GIANT dragon thing popped out."

Altria starts laughing."Ha ha ha..Kami,you may be a shinigami but it's like your abilities are same..even Okamaru made it." She smiles,"I'm glad though.He was a huge help."

shin concludes

"Okamaru eh?! yes! he's surely is shiro now. I have no doubts"
