"I hate grave yards, they all ways remind me of the poor innocent souls who died as well as the not so innocent ones" ichigo shuddered
"don't be such a baby" rukia sighed
"its weird how none of the spirits are out tonight" renji noted
"they could be afraid of us" rukia suggested "the place is quite big too so there just might be no spirits in this part, ones who moved on. speaking of which we better split up to cover more ground, captain tori already went ahead before us she gonna meet us at the cliff edge"
At the cliff edge
Kotori looked at the perfect night sky; stars were as bright as ever and the crescent moon hung in the raven black sky without a cloud in sight to ruin it: this was a perfect view. It was at these times when she could slow down and think About things only she truly understood at this moment: Was it her fault she was born into a powerful shaman family? Was it her fault she had immense furyoku and spirit pressure which yes did kill her but saved her from becoming pure rayshi like most shamans but a shinigami? A shinigami had helped her, killed her but it had helped her as there was no life for her in living. Yoruichi showed her the world and that her power was not a bad thing; She was the only person who had felt like family and had cared for her, if she could imagine what a mother was like then yoruchi was who she imagined. Which did leave the question of who were her family? She knew her last name was asakura which was a shaman clan (she had looked it up in the limited books on offer) but she didn't know where they were, if they were still around or if it was just her. Mort importantly who were her parents? She was told a little: they hadn't of been officially married, her mother was a shaman and her father a samurai and she had to take her mothers name as her father didn't have a name as he had been an orphan (hint hint).
Kotori played with her mothers necklace again; a black choker necklace with a white crystal pendant. She turned around towards the tree "they are proberly late, ichigo didn't seem so keen on the place so maybe they were trying to get him through the gates still" she thought to herself. As she turned round she noticed a grave stone however there was no spirit present though there had been no soul reaper in this area for...actually she couldn't think of when there had been. She knelt down to the stone and wiped a few piece of grass out the way.

That was all that was written on it but it was like da ja vu as if she should of known them.
"weird" she thought to herself
"CAPTAIN!" came a shout
"there goes my peace" tori muttered then placed a wild flower that was growing near the cliff edge on the grave stone head. "I hope that one of us found peace"
Her phone then decided to beep: hollows and a whole gang of them. Poor humans who get in the middle of them.
