Black clouds drifted over the moon and the bright shining stars, levaing everything in a cloak of darkness. A shadow darted from a scraggily bush to a run down house in the Rukon district. Not far away was her destination; the Seireitei. Keeping her eye out for people walking around at this hour she scurried from one hiding place to the next.

She thought to herself 'I have to be crazy in order to do something as dangerous as this. If i get cought im SO dead. But hes worth it, hes worth a million dangers. '

As she was distracted by her thoughts she didn't notice a figure standing in her path untill it was too late. Akane crashed head on into the person; the force of the crash knocked them both backwards and into the dirt.

"Shit im so sorry, I didn't see you!" Akane jumped up and appologized with a bow without even glimpsing at who or what she ran into.

"Hahaha you're always running into things" Said a familiar voice.

"Satoru! I-I-I d-didn't know it was you ! I just figured it was someone with athority... or someone I should be respectful to... expecially since I ran into them... good thing I ran into someone like you and not-"

"Akane,"Satoru said with a bored voiceas he lifted himself off the ground, "You're doing the nervous thing again..."

"Oh im sorry I just ramble on somethimes..."

"Expecially when your nervous, or cought doing something you shouldn't .What is it this time, should I be worried ?" Satoru questioned.

"Umm... I... i'm just out for a midnight stroll" Akane hastily exclaimed, while rubbing the back of her hair trying to look innocent as possible and giving her best shoot at lying.

"You can stop with that,you should know your not fooling anyone with your 'lying'." He said as he put air quotations around the last word.

Akane pouted in her cute little puppy dog like way. Satoru's eyes went soft when he saw her face; he couldn't help busting out laughing.

"Ahaha! You look like a cute little lost puppy when you get angry !" he stated as he patted her head like a dog.

"HELL FUCK NO! I hate dogs! don't call me that shit !" Akane shouted at the boy raising her fist to strike him but then quickly brought her hands to her mouth realizing how loud she was being and warrily looked around if it aroused and unwated visitors.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Satoru's point of view~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Satoru looked around to see why Akane thought she should be so quiet,' Usualy she doesn't care how loud she is... I wonder whats up with her.' He was oping his mouth to ask her that very question then she interupted his thought with...

"Im sorry I have business to attend to ! I have to go right now, See' yah around Satoru!" She burst out as she rushed down the road.

'Sometimes i worry about her...' satoru wispered to himself, as he watched her run on down the road and into the distance.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Akane's point of view~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Fuck that was so close ! I seriosuly have to be alot more careful if I don't want to be cought." She wispered aloud once she was about a half mile away from her friend.

A Little break in the clouds allowed her to see the moon and determine what time it was by the spot it was positioned at; she estimated it to be around 8 something...

Istill have pleanty of time.

As she nearred the Seireitei she took a sharp left down a narrow dirty alley way that ran parallel to the walls of the great capitol. She needed to keep out of sight of the guards, and out of mind. So she lowered her spiritual pressure as much as she possibly could while still being able to run at such a fast speed. She was nearring toward the spot that she would use to slip into the Seireitei. So she keept a look out for the Gate Guards making sure they were at their posts and not patroling the borders of the wall .

'This is the most densely populated spot I can find thats out of sight of the West and South gates...It would be so much easier if they didn't have these walls up all the time.. but since Aizen left, the Court Guards have been on edge but they should be safe with out them, it not like aizen is goig to come up here and actually try and battle them when the Hogyuko still isn't ready yet...no stop. I have to concentrate on my task; and not on why the walls are there . ' Akane said in her head.

She looked up at the gigantic wall that sorounded the Seireitei, took a deep breath and calmly walked away in the opposide direction and sat down in the shadows of a little hut. She had to focus to get her spiritual pressure on the right exact level. If she slipped up even a little bit, her prersence would be known in a heart beat, and that would be dangerous considering she has never fought someone with a sword.

At full, her spiritual pressure was equal to that of a Seventh seat for now, but she had to keep all of that a secret; from everyone. Akane had to make everyone believe she had no more than the average soul in the Rukon. But the problem was she wasen't completely human, she had a whole other form . Its was a big and frigheting cat like creature.

She closed her eyes and slowly slipped into the part of her mind that allowed her acces to the great beast.

The room was very dark, all except for a narrow lit path that led to a huge cage. An extremely large shadow could be faintly seen in the depths of its confinement. Akane started walking along the path towards the pen and as soon as she got within a few yards of the monster it lifted it's head and opened it's piercing gold eyes and watched as she nearred its enclosure. The beast rose to its paws and walked to the edge of the crate and looked down at her, its gleaming eyes seemed to look into her soul, it opened its huge mouth concealing glistening white teeth; then it spoke.

"Are you here to use my power to spy on that man again, or are we actually going to comeout of the darkness and actually let ourselves be seen ?" The cat demon said in a snarling voice.

"yes that is what I am here for, and you know damn well that we can't be seen, everyone would be curious as to what yo- I mean we are."

"I am part of you, why would you want to hide what you truely are ? You also didn't answer my question, when are you going to stop spying on him and actually strike up the courage to say something. And what if you get the boy, you're certianly not going to hide us from him are you ?"

"Its true we are one being, exactly what we are is the true question. Im almost positive you are not a hollow, because they all have white bone masks and you certianly dont possess one of thoes. But they still might think your a new form of hollow then move to exterminate us. We don't want that uneccassary battle, on top of that how would we argue that we are not a hollow? When were not even sure ourselves of what we are, that's just a failure from the start. These people haven't seen anything other that thoes creatures and seeing you they will most likely decide you are bad. The hollows are scarry, but they don't have anything on you ," Akane stated.

"Haha I guess your to scared to even talk about him. Looks like I got all the courage on my end, and fuck thoes damn pathetic boneheads your right they have nothing on me, and they never will. They couldn't even comapre me to suck weeklings, I would be asshamed to even be in that catagory . and as for exterminating us ? I would LOVE to see thoes bastards try. " The jailed monster challenged with a grin.

"Im not scared to talk about him, its just I dont know how to appoach a captian, I have to plan it so I wont get myself into to much trouble. Haha and I have plenty of courage. I'll talk to him, TONIGHT I PROMISE! Oh yeah and I know they won't exterminate us, we would crush thoes fucks ! Also Satoru has told me stories that say that the hollows that we have meet are nothing compared to the higer classes of hollowes. He even said that Aizen made some super strong ones that are almost impossible to beat even for the head captian.

"Ha I doubt you would hold up to that, the moment you see him you will freeze up and just hide and watch him like a creep. You actually believe all that Satoru has to say ? How naieve."

"Watch me. Give me a slimmer of you power, just enough to get me over the wall and i'll prove to you I have more courage than you think. Yes, I actually believe what Satoru has to say is real; since his brother is a member of the Gotei Thirteen and visits him on accasion and updates him on whats going on betteen Aizen and The Court Guards." Akana said with assurance.

"Fine. Hope you dont trip up," The demon said with a smile and a wink, as it lowered its head for the girl to reach.

Akana reached up and put her palm to the cats warm velvety nose and closed her eyes as power surged through her hand and spread through out her body,and when she re opened them she was back in the Soul Society.

She stayed hidden in the shadows so others couldn't see her; but she could see EVERYTHING! Its like it was day time, but the colors were distorted a little to let her know it was dark still. The size of the monster was reduced alot because she was at such a low level, so it was easy to hide behind the bilding and get from place to place without too much attention. The cats size depended on how much spiritual pressure she put into it and how much she took from the caged beast. As she moved forward her paw fell into a grimey little puddle. Hissing quietly as the cold water soked into her fur she lifted her paw out and shok the water dropplets off. She looked back up to the wall but the reflection of the moon shining in the rippiling water cought her eye, and so she peered curiously into it.

She stared wide-eyed at her reflection becasue she had never seen what she looked like before now. Her fur was long and the coloring was a dark brown mixed with deeep red. She had cute ears with white tufts comming off the tips. Her eyes were a deadly bright gold with emerald green flecks in them, she had thorn sharp bloodred claws that were to big to be retracted fully so they stayed out all of the time. Her upper canine teeth stuck out of her mouth for about three inches, much like a sabor-toothed tiger. But the most astonighing thing about the cat demon was its muscular build, every little move she made you could see the muscles rippiling under her pelt.

She turned away from the puddle and looked back up at the wall once again; she needed to hurry. Her muscles tenced ready to race across the ground. in three... two...

'I dont see anyone. I think the coast is clear.' Akane thought to her self, as she closed her eyes and took calming breaths slowing down the pace of her heart. 'Three... two...one!'

Her eyes flew open as she shot forward, her paws making quick thudding noises as they almost soundlessly hit the ground. Her heart was racing, and she was begging for her to please not be seen. Her claws dugg into the earth and made little holes everythime the threw a paw down, in her race to the wall. The wall was looming closer and she had to speed up if she wanted to run up it as far as she possibly could. Keis muscles screamed for her to stop but she pushed them still, she loved the feeling of pushing herself to the limit.

She leaped up right before she hit the wall. She had juped about as high as a two story building maybe even higher. Her claws scrapped against the sekki sekki rock as she shot her self forward toward the top. She could feel herself slowing down so she dug her claws into the hard rock and started climbing fast up the rock face.

As she was climbing one of her paws hit air. She was at the top. She dug her claws in and pulled herself up onto the platform on the top of the wall. THe view was absolutely breathtaking from up here, everytime she sees it shes amazed by how everything looked. From up here the Seireitei looked like a clean and well kept maze, and the Rukon looked like a dirty and dingy gheto. But they both were confusing as hell to get around in, no matter the cleanliness.
