Piercing blue eyes stare intently at the two sleeping children in front of him. Resting on the mound of grass he placed them on, his heavy dark brown cloak shields them from the morning coldness. A soft chuckle escapes him as he sees Rin wiggle around in her sleep. He goes to take a seat next to her. Her short grayish white hair catching his attention (the small patches of missing hair are starting to grow back out) he smiles, taking one of his black gloves off he begins to gently stroke her hair (please forgive me for what you'll have to endure, but it is necessary) he gives Shuhei a quick glance (he will be fine I promise) his thoughts get interrupted when he sees Rin's eyes began to open slightly. She blinks a couple times, her big blue eyes adjusting to the dim morning light once her eyes are completely open she blankly stares at the kind stranger who still has his hand on her hair (why he tashing my head?). As if reading her mind he removes his hand from her hair and puts his glove back on.
"good morning" he says.
"good moning."
"Did you sleep well?"
She doesn't answer instead she widens her eyes and quickly sits up "Suuhei!" Her eyes turn in every direction she relaxes when she sees him laying next to her. Still sleeping. She scrunches up her nose and lets out a small grunt and in seconds her small form is hovering over Shuhei.
"Suuhei yu sleep to long now, wake ap!"
She waits... but nothing, huffing out a breath she says "whai ah yu soo sleepy!.. Suuhei!"
"I told you yesterday, your friend is tired and just needs to rest." She hears the man behind her say, she looks over her shoulder at him.
"Fo dis long!"
"Yes, so please let him rest."
She ignores him and begins to shake Shuhei by his robe "Suuhei! Wake ap now! Peez! Suuhei!"
The man watches the stubborn little girl carry on, closing his eyes he shakes his head when he opens them again he casually leans forward and easily pulls Rin away from Shuhei.
"That's enough of that" he says standing up and walks a couple of paces away from Shuhei with his arms extended out holding Rin.
Rin gasp and begins to kick het short legs around "Aah! Let go! Wha ah yu doin!"
"Your rather annoying when you want to be aren't you?"
She twists herself to glare at him "let go ah me! I wanna wake ap Suuhei!" She begins kicking her tiny legs harder.
Rolling his eyes he says "I don't know how many times I must repeat this to you, your friend is tired so let him rest, he will wake up when he is ready."
"He weady now! Let go ah me!"
He doesn't answer or move. Closing his eyes he simply stands in place holding Rin out in front of him letting her carry on with her tantrum.
And as expected she continues. "Let go ah me! Stap it! Let go! Ima tell Suuhei! SUUHEI! Wake ap! Loook! Grrr! Let go! Yu ah mean to me!" Moments pass when she finally realizes that she hasn't gotten a response from the man holding her, she turns her head back to look at him and sees his eyes are closed she gasps "yu sleepy too! Hey! Hey wake ap and let me goo! Wake a.."
He cuts her off "I am not sleeping, I am simply ignoring you because you are annoying me, honestly how that child puts up with you is one of the great mysteries of the world."
She bends her back and looks at him upside down "Suuhei is my bestess fiend eva! He lobes ME!"
"That boy is your only friend ever."
For a couple seconds she stays quite frowning "how yu kno dat?"
He opens his eyes to look at her but does not answer.
"who ah yu?"
"If I put you down will you behave?" He instead tells her.
Rin sighs and nods. As he puts her on her feet he takes a seat on the ground and says to her "I told you yesterday that you have to figure that out on your own."
Turning to look at him she takes a seat in front of him.
"But I don't kno yu, yu don't tell me yu name."
He offers her a soft smile and puts a hand on top of her head "it will come to you, we just need time."
Suddenly Rin scrunches up her face and shoves his hand away clasping her hands together she smiles "o.k yu don't tell me yu name so I gonna call yu... Tashi! Cuz u always tashing my head o.k?"
Amusement takes over his features "Tashi?"
Rin nods "mhmm Tashi"
"Alright, if that is what you wish to refer to me as until you learn my real name than I will respond to you as Tashi."
Rin tilts her head to the side she opens her mouth to say something but stops when she hears Shuhei groan. She quickly turns to look at him. Another groan. Rin's immediately on her feet toddling towards Shuhei "yu awake, finally! Suuhei good moning!"
'Tashi' stares at Rin as she takes a seat next to Shuhei. He smirks (good, now I can get the preparations started to test out my theory, though I'm certain of the answer it is the outcome I'm looking forward to) smiling he stands and walks towards Rin and a slightly conscious Shuhei. "Rin?" She turns to look at him "I must go now, there is something I have to do but I would like to come back later with food for you and your friend, is that alright with you?"
She nods "yeah o.k babye Tashi" and turns her attention back to Shuhei who's eyes have started to open just the slightest bit. Tashi nods once with a permanent smirk on his face and walks away.
Rin closely watches Shuhei's eyes slowly open, he groans "auu... damn... what happened?"
"Good moning Suuhei!" Rin says cheerfully.
Shuhei squints trying to get his blurry vision to focus "Rin?"
"Yep is me Suuhei, whai yu sleep so mush?"
Shuhei closes his eyes "why I sleep so mu..." his eyes fly open widening to their fullest capacity as images of their ambush flash through his mind. Panicking he tries to sit up but pain immediately shoots out through all his body and he falls back down "AAHHH! damn it CRAP! ever.. everything hurts" he begins to breath heavily, shaking from the pain.
Rin sits paralyzed, horrified of seeing Shuhei in such agony.
She begins to frantically look around unsure of what to do. Taking one of Shuhei's hands in both of hers she squeezes slightly "Suuhei wha yu want me to do? I can healp."
Finally Shuhei's grey pained eyes meet Rin's scared blue ones.
"Rin.. your o.k.. they didn't hurt you?"
She shakes her head "no, no Suuhei dey didn't hut me, dey don't hut yu no mo eitha we away fom dem now."
Shuhei frowns and looks around confusion filling his mind as he finally takes notice of the new environment. A rich deep green scenery greets him, endless amounts of trees and plants ranging in sizes block most of the sunlight leaving them in a comforting and peaceful dim setting (wow... this place is nice) he thinks to himself looking at Rin again he asks her "Rin where are we?"
She shrugs "I don kno."
(Of course you don't, why would you...) "o.k can you tell me how we got here?"
She quickly nods "yeah Tashi bought us hea."
Shuhei knits his brows together "Tashi? Who's that."
Rin makes a distasteful face "I don't kno Suuhei he don't tell his name."
Bewildered by her answer he stares at her for a few moments "I thought his name's Tashi?"
Scrunching her nose Rin shakes her head "no he don't wanna say hiss name to me! And he tashes my head so mush I call him Tashi."
Shuhei's mouth hangs open just the slightest his pain slightly forgotten and instead replaced by confusion, he stays quite for a moment trying to make sense of this information "so.. the kid who brought us here is touching your head?.. But he won't tell you his name... so you call him Tashi?"
Rin nods but then frowns and shakes her head "no, no he not kid like yu Suuhei he soo tall! Oh! And he wea diss!" She indicates to the cloak that still covers him. He looks down at last taking notice of the heavy brown garment. Using his free hand he pulls it up closer to his face and begins to inspect it, noticing that the softness from the inside contradicts the tough outer exterior. He stares at it for a while longer frowning, without looking at Rin he asks her "so a man wearing this brought us here, but he wouldn't tell you his name?"
"Yeah."
Placing the cloak down he looks at her "and you don't know who he is?"
"No I neva see him befo."
Shuhei's eyes search for any sign of him "where is he now Rin?"
"Oh he say he go do somting and he come back layta wit food fo us."
"He's coming back?"
"Yeah wit food."
Uneasiness settles throughout his body (Something's not right, why would a random stranger wanna help us? And why wouldn't he tell Rin his name?). "What else can you tell me about him? What else did he say? What did he look like? Was he nice?"
Rin gasps "No Suuhei he wass mean to me! He didn't let me wake yu ap."
"He wouldn't let you wake me up?"
"Yeah I wanna wake yu ap cuz yu sleep soo mush but he say NO!" She finishes with a pout.
(How long was I asleep for? Heck I don't eve.. wait... none of this makes sense I didn't fall asleep... think, come on think! The last thing I remem... that white flash! and... THE CROW!).
With wide eyes he turns to Rin again, taking in a deep breath he slowly begins to sit himself up biting on his bottom lip to keep any pained noise from escaping him. Once seated he reaches out to take Rin's small face in between his hands wanting all her attention focused only on him, looking directly into her eyes he firmly tells her "Rin I need you to listen to me very carefully o.k, this is really important."
Surprised by his sudden change she simply takes hold of his wrists and nods "o.k Suuhei."
"Good, o.k... do u remember when those kids where beating me up?"
His chest pains seeing Rin's eyes widen with sadness as she remembers, she doesn't answer sticking out her quivering bottom lip she looks away from him.
With his thumbs he gently strokes her cheeks "please Rin this is important, they won't hurt us anymore."
She looks back into his eyes "pomise?"
(No... I don't know ) but not wanting to worry her any further he gives her a small reassuring smile and says "yeah I promise."
"O.k."
"So you remember right?"
"Yeah."
"After I ... um feel asleep what happened to them?"
"Oh dey fall asleep too."
Shock quickly settles in his features "Really?"
"Yeah."
"Why'd they fall asleep?"
"Amm.. dey sleepy?"
(Rin... your no help) though slightly frustrated with her lack of information he continues "O.k... do you remember seeing that bright flash?"
"Umm... No."
Shuhei takes in a deep breath and slowly lets it out "Rin come on think, I saw it so you must of seen it too."
"No, no I go like this" she tightly squeezes her eyes closed, demonstrating him.
"Alright ... then the crow, you heard it right? Did you get to see a crow?"
Rin opens her mouth to say something but a ruffling motion behind Shuhei catches her attention. Her eyes drift to focus on it. Releasing her grasp on one of his wrist she points and asks "dat one?" Before Shuhei can attempt to turn and look he hears a loud flapping noise heading towards him. Through the corner of his eye he sees a black object pass by landing on the ground a couple feet away from them. Releasing herself from Shuhei's grasp Rin turns to look at it. They both watch the bird as it begins to pick at the ground (wow... that things huge... O.k but it's still just a crow... so how am I supposed to know if it's the one Uzo was talking about). For a few extra moments Shuhei carefully watches the crow continue to pick at the ground. His whole body freezes though when the crow's head raises its eyes connecting with Shuhei's (are crows suppose to have blue ey... wait a minute...) he takes his attention toward Rin who is still watching the crow. "Rin?" He manages to choke out. She turns to look at him "yeah?"
He carefully studies her eyes then looks back at the crow to do the same. It doesn't take him long to notice the obvious ... As shock takes over his body certainty takes over his mind.
(It's true...).

Seireitei: First Division Barracks:

"Come in" says the strong voice of head Captain Genryusai Yamamoto. One of the large double doors opens. He frowns when he only sees lieutenant Sosuke Aizen step inside.
"Where is your Captain? I sent for the both of you" head captain Yamamoto asks the polite, scholarly looking man making his way towards him. Sosuke stops a couple feet away from where Captain Yamamoto's desk is. He respectively bows to his head Captain, once up straight again he clasps his hands together in front of him and says
"Captain Hirako wanted me to inform you that he had something... come up, Sir."
Knowing Shinji's ways he tsks once and says "That boy is far too lazy for his own good" Genryusai's voice rises just a bit "anyway I'm sure just having you here has saved me a headache, so I'm sure you know why I called you in."
Sosuke gives a slight nod "Yes Sir I am aware."
"Good let's not waste any time then, tell me your thoughts on the matter."
"Well Sir after carefully analyzing every aspect of the situation I first came up with the obvious answer, whomever's reiatsu that was is either still young and has not reached their full capacity or is an adult that has. Because as you know it wouldn't take too much spiritual pressure to terminate a common child."
"Yes I'm aware, what else?"
The soft spoken lieutenant continues "The men that were sent to the scene to investigate retreated what looked to be a weapon. None of the three children found had any wounds on them so we are assuming it was meant to be used on someone else. My two theories for the situation are these, assuming that the three deceased children were working together. First the victim's release of reiatsu was accidental and brought upon by stress, fear and or anger. Second, maybe there was no victim and this is simply a cruel act of power. At the moment that is everything I was able to put together Sir."
"Very good lieutenant."
Sosuke gives his head Captain a slight bow "Thank you Sir."
"Since you seem to have a good grasp on the situation and your squad is the one who came across this case I'll continue to let you handle it."
"Yes Sir."
"And once you find the individual who is responsible for this I want you to bring them to me immediately" he adds with more sternness.
"Of course Sir."
"Good, you are dismissed."
"Thank you Sir" Sosuke bows and exits Captain Yamamoto's office.
(Find them indeed).
