Amaterasu hadn't gone far before she got addressed again. She was resting in what appeared to be private training grounds when something came up behind her.

"Good day my lady." Said a masked giant.

The giant bowed in deference and gave her a bone.

She took the bone and bowed in response. -Why do you hide your face?-

"I-I do not wish to show it" He stammered, not lifting his head from the ground.

- I see. Rise and tell me your name-

"Saijin Komamura" he said as he stood up.

-Though much has changed, it is good to see your kind walking about again. Even if you are the only one- Amaterasu looked at Komamura for a few moments, trying to see just how much of the oina tribe was left.

"Thank you my lady." He hesitated for a few moments, caught between his loyalty to the head captain and a goddess that his clan worshipped. "My greatest apologies, but I must report you to my superior"

Amaterasu only nodded -Do as you must-

Soi Fon was not happy.

The onmitsukido had failed to capture the wolf, spectacularly. Multiple times. Each time it would give them the slip.

The excuses she got were all outlandish. "I got blinded by the sun" or " A strong gust of wind threw me into a pit" or the most ridiculous of all, "It got foggy all of a sudden and I lost my pants."

It was humiliating. How could a bright white, 4 legged mammal elude the executive militia of all things? It was WHITE! Reiatsu or no Reiatsu they should've been able to track it at the very least!

Eventually, Soi Fon had gotten tired of the failures and joined the search herself. Much to her chagrin she had to compete with robots from the 12th divisions and the crazy 11th captain. There were plenty of casualties. The drones were flying everywhere spraying some sort of knock out gas and kenpachi was just knocking people around as he ran.

She had been searching for hours and had yet to even see the wolf… Until she turned around.

Soi Fon yelped in surprise when she saw the wolf sitting right next to her. "I-Imposible" She muttered. How did that wolf sneak up on her? The only one that could possibly do that was… "Yoruichi-sama?"

"HUH?" The wolf stared at her in dismay. -What!?-

"Of course I'd recognize you!" Hissed Soi Fon "I want answers!"

The woman was on fire. She lunged at the wolf, who dodged and ran for the hills. The Woman gritted her teeth and went after it.

"What are you doing?!" She threw a Kido charged punch. "Answer me! WHY HAVE YOU RETURNED!?"

She kept attacking, throwing everything she had at the wolf. Her surroundings began to look like the 11th division training grounds but she kept attacking.

She couldn't even touch it. "I've pushed myself to the limit these last hundred years. WHY CAN'T I TOUCH YOU?!"

She felt tears form in her eyes. Debris was raining everywhere. The fire inside her was flared hotter then ever. "WHY DID YOU LEAVE?!" She roared after the wolf.

Soi Fon saw the wolf looked at her with sympathetic eyes. Something inside her broke and the fire went out. "Why didn't you take me with you?" Her voice broke on the last two words and she burst into tears.

She sank to her knees and cried. "I would've followed you to the ends of the world.."

The wolf walked over and nuzzled her. She wrapped her arms around the furry beast and wept into its shoulder. She could feel it gently rubbing her back.

The two remained in that position until Amaterasu heard the drones get closer. She pulled away from Soi Fon who was still sniffling and looked around. She wasn't about to take chances with robots. She gave the poor girl one last pat before dashing away.

There robots were much faster then the first ones she wrecked. She would be impressed if the wasn't the object of their interest.

She made her to the 8th division barracks, but could not escape them. She used cyclone again and flung them in all directions. She heard screams of shock and pain in the distance.

Amaterasu suspected that some of them may have hit people. -Oh dear-

She may as well use the noise to keep moving.

Amaterasu padded silently through the barracks. Careful to keep out of people's field of vision. She still managed to startle a few people though.

She spied a room that had a balcony and slipped into it.

The room was empty save for one person sleeping on the ground.

The smell of sake was soaked into the room and the man. That meant that he was often in the presence of alcohol. Since there was no distillery in sight, Amaterasu suspected that this one enjoyed the drink.

Kasugami would probably like him. Both of them seem to be consistently drunk a great deal of the time.

The man stirred and looked at her for a few moments. She looked back at him, then away as he fell asleep again.

Amaterasu snorted lightly and hopped off the balcony.

Kurotsuchi swore very loudly in his lab for a few moments. He had managed to salvage one of his drones that had taken a sample of the wolf's DNA. He had hoped it would give him some data on the nature of its abilities. He was bitterly disappointed when no anomalies were detected. It only drove him to go after the creature himself. The trouble was the recent flock of drones had been blown all over seireitei and many of them were obstructing their cameras.

Nanao Ise was NOT panicking. She knew her captain was perfectly capable of handling himself. But that did not stop her from running to him when officers began reporting that a gigantic wolf was seen going into his room.

When she entered she saw her captain looking around the room as if he was looking for someone. " Nanao chan? Did anybody visit?"

"No captain, nobody came to visit." she replied after thinking for a few moments. SHe looked around for any sign that a horse sized wolf had been in the area.

"Then who was that woman?"

"What woman?"

"There was a beautiful woman with white hair here just a minute ago." Shunsui insisted. " She wore a white kimono with red lining."

"You have been drinking too much captain." replied Nanao. "Nobody has been in your room but yourself."

"Mou~ Take a nap with me Nanao chan"

Thwack! "ABSOLUTELY NOT CAPTAIN!"

The sun was about to set again. This time, Amaterasu was content to let the moon rise. No sense messing with the shinigami clocks more then necessary. She knew that her presence had been reported. She'd go meet Komamura's superior later. It had been a while since she had heard any robots. Hopefully they would give her enough of a break to rearrange her equipment.

She jumped from roof top looking for a calm place to work. It would be dark soon and as bright as she may be in the sun, she would stand out even more at night. Her moon glow was probably Yumigami's revenge for eating her mochi. Honestly, the rabbit ought to know how hard it was to resist moon mochi. It had been some time since she ate some. Her mouth watered just thinking about it.

She spied a nice quiet garden with some koi and decided to rest there for the night. She had food she can feed to them.

Jyushiro Ukitake had been sick for most of his life. Consequently he had spent most of the time lying down in his back yard watching the scenery. His life wasn't boring by any means. Visitors could often attest to the zeal of his third seats for they often tripped over themselves trying to prove their respect. They also squabbled so much that it became a reoccurring joke.

This evening was one of the blessed moments in which his third seats had taken their bickering elsewhere. He even found the strength to sit on the porch and watch the sun set. There was only one part that didn't fit right. He did not recognize the individual sitting under one of his flower trees. It was a woman in a white kimono with dark pink lining. She was busy shoving various objects into her red and gold obi and under the flaming shield on her back. She looked quite ragged actually as if she had been running errands the whole day. He observed the woman yawn and feed his fish.

"Hello there" He called. "You look like you've had a long day. How about we sit and watch the moon together?"

The woman smiled in appreciation as she came and sat next to him.

He noticed that she was tall for a woman, a little bit taller then lieutenant Matsumoto. He also noticed that she was very slim, much like Soi Fon, who led a very active lifestyle. She carried herself like a noble and like a warrior. Her hair was white, just like his, only it seemed to glow in the fading sun. She had a red loop on her forehead that disappeared into her hair. Her eyes were liquid reddish gold and full of intelligence. They gave of the impression that she had seen terrible things but remained hopeful that she had worth. If she was a noble, why hadn't he at least heard of her? He knew that sometimes nobles would have… embarrassing children due to high reiatsu induced fertility troubles but this one didn't appear to be one of them.

"I don't believe I have see you before. I am Jyushiro Ukitake, Captain of the 13th division. May I ask your name?"

But he only received an odd look in response. -Yes. Of course you may ask. I am called the great god Amaterasu. I don't believe you can hear me-

The two watched the sun set and the moon began to rise. Ukitake started talking to the woman. She never answered, but he felt like she was paying attention.

"It's terrible. One of my officers had been sent to the human world and then broke the law" He murmured "She's going to be executed."

The woman frowned and nodded in agreement.

"Do you think giving power to a human is worthy of being executed?" The woman looked at him like he was crazy. "I don't either. It may not be right but I trust her judgement. She must've had a good reason for doing so."

The woman looked pensive for a few moments before feeding the koi again. She invited him to do the same.

"Haha I suppose you're right. I will send in an appeal tomorrow. For now lets just enjoy the view. I will have my third seats get us some tea."

As if right on cue two people burst out of the door. "UKITAKE-SAMA I HAVE BROUGHT YOU SOME TEA" They announced at the same time. The two of them froze and glared at each other. Ukitake felt a head ache beginning to form. "I respect him more. I brought the tea first" Insisted a boyish looking girl.

"Yes, but you've brought black tea! Even an idiot knows that green tea is healthier!" Snarked the other

"Don't listen to that idiot Sentaro Ukitake sa- AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" Screeched the girl as she noticed what was next to her captain.

"WOLF!" Shouted Sentaro as he pointed next to Ukitake.

Ukitake glanced at the woman next to him and saw the annoyed yet amused expression on her face. The whole situation was almost comical, what with his third seats shouting from across the room and the woman next to him completely silent. He quickly began diffusing the situation. He reprimanded "Now now you two. Don't be rude. This lovely lady is my guest. Her name is.. er…." He took a quick glance at her. He forgot that she had never told him her name. He's have to come up with one on the spot. "Her name is Yukishiro Hanamichi. She is not one for words."

The woman rolled her eyes. -How unoriginal and how inaccurate. But at least that sounds like a name.-

His third seats were speechless. "Er… yes captain. Forgive us uh.. Hanamichi- sama." Sentaro began

"Yes, umm… please excuse us for shouting at you Hanamichi- sama." Apologized Kiyone.

"We will leave you two alone now." They both finished at the same time and scurried out of the room.

Ukitake turned to the woman and poured her some tea. "I'm terribly sorry for their rudeness. My third seats are rather protective of me. I assume that since you aren't sputtering indignantly that you are fine with the name i gave you?"

The woman took a cup slowly and with some difficulty and nodded in response. She promptly managed to spill half of her tea everywhere.

He chuckled and watched her fumble with the cup and struggle to clean up the spill. The tea had been wiped up before he could help, which suggested that this was a common occurrence. He suspected that this woman had some sort of nerve disorder. That would explain why she was kept hidden away. If her arms were prone to spasms then even things like writing and eating would result in a mess. It would render things like embroidery and flower arranging difficult if not impossible.

Still, she seemed to be managing well enough if she could wander about undetected. She probably snuck away from her attendants and wandered into his back garden. He poured her another cup, a little less so that it would be harder to spill.

She seemed grateful.

The two of them sat in comfortable silence slowly drinking tea and mopping up the occasional spill until the moon was high.

Eventually Ukitake left and went to get a third pot of tea.

He returned to see that "Yukishiro Hanamichi" had disappeared. In her place there was a hot package wrapped in a very expensive looking bandana.

He put the tea down and untied the bandana to reveal a simple dark mahogany box with a raised crimson circle. When he ran his fingers over the circle he could feel hundreds of flames, intricately carved into it. Curious, he open the box and he was greeted with a huge cloud of steam and a delicious smell.

He looked around trying to find the woman, but there was no sign of anything what so ever.

He looked back at the box. The steam had cleared enough for him to see its contents. The box contained held a light dinner, a small container of vegetable soup, some rice, dumplings, and ohagi. There was a small compartment full of eating utensils.

He looked at the cover of the box, then looked around again. The level of detail in the carving and the quality of the finish screamed high noble house, possibly on par with that of the Shihoin or the Kuchiki clan. He couldn't recognize the crest though. He would have to have someone else look at it tomorrow. He popped one of the dumplings into his mouth. His eyebrows practically went into his hair as he continued to eat.

"Yukishiro Hanamichi" was a good cook. She just left him the best meal he'd ever had.

Amaterasu was glad Ukitake liked her cooking. It had been a while since she had a chance to practice. It had been even longer since she'd been able to just sit and rest without needing to defend herself. It was rather embarrassing to constantly be spilling tea though. She had enough power that she can manifest physically where her incarnation stood and make herself seen by the spiritually strong. Sadly, her manifestation is unable to interact with anything unless it was her divine instruments.

She had covered a great deal of Seireitei today. Granted she did extend the day a few times and she would have to rectify that for the next few days by ending the day early. She figured she could go see the one in charge now that she knew what places were easy access.

She noted that most places, the leaders would have the view over the others. It seemed that this was the case here as well. She bounced from rooftop to rooftop until she made it to the main entrance. The building itself was no bigger then the others but she could feel a huge amount of power radiating from inside. It was like the moments leading up to the first rediscovery of Moegami.

She jumped over the gate entrance and made her way inside.

The office was rather modern compared to the outside. Amaterasu looked around trying to find out who and where the leader was. She could run around like she had been doing, but that wouldn't give her the opportunity to examine the interior. She clambered up the walls and began walking around that way. It was funny how often people forgot to look above them when they are searching for intruders, or so she thought.

"Young lady, Come down from the ceiling at once!"

Amaterasu looked down to see an old man. It seemed that all the hair on his head had migrated to his beard.

-Mister orange? Is that you?-

"No. You are speaking to the head captain Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto of the first division." came the reply. He was slightly irritated with being addressed in such a comical manner.

-Were you called Mister Orange at one point? Because you really do look like him-

"If I was, it would have been more then a two thousand years ago."

-He has been dead since before Japan forgot the yami era- She replied pointedly.

"I'm sure plenty of people-"

-Now that i think about it, you could be a lot of people I've seen, from around the Orochi era to a little after the Yami era.- Continued Amaterasu. -You look the most like Mister Orange and Mister Grapefruit though-

"Look missy, I don't re-" he huffed before being interrupted again.

-Perhaps you met one of my sons. You seem like the kind of person who would.-

"I AM CONSTANTLY BEING INTERRUPTED BY A WOLF WOMAN WHO IS STANDING ON THE CEILING AND LOOKING DOWN AT ME. I CANNOT RECALL ANY NICKNAMES FROM WHEN I WAS ALIVE! KINDLY GET DOWN FROM THERE." Boomed the old captain. "YOU ARE TRACKING DIRT IN PLACES THAT ARE DIFFICULT TO CLEAN"

Yamamoto was no fool. When news of a creature without reiatsu came in he knew the situation would have to be handled delicately. He knew the creature would either be at or above his level with incredible control, or it would be something so alien to them that life as they knew it would change forever. Antagonizing it uselessly would be tremendously dangerous. He had sent the captains a Hell butterfly in case they or they're officers ran into it at some point and many of them did.

He was not surprised when reports from various captains started coming in. They all had completely different things. Ukitake spoke of a mute woman whom his subordinates mistook for a wolf. He also spoke that it left him a small bento box with a crest on it. Kurotsuchi had been infuriated when he couldn't get any information other then the creature could reign in Kusajishi. Kenpachi's butterfly only had one sentence "Damn wolf is strong and it won't fight me."

That was all but confirmed when Komamura's came and explained it's nature to him. While he may not have been nervous, he definitely breathed a sigh of relief when he found out that it was benevolent if rather destructive.

He knew that gods were powerful. Stories of them destroying a nation and rebuilding it had been around even longer then he had. There were so many stories that it was nearly impossible for them to keep track of them. And with the addition of fiction into the mix, the oldest stories of gods and spirits had been all but forgotten. The fact that no one but Komamura was able to identify the intruder was a testament to that.

The creature that had caused as much destruction to Seireitei as Lieutenant Kusajishi on a sugar binge had also caused plenty of weather phenomena, a breakdown of one of the captains, the loss of accuracy of the clocks, dozens injuries on accounts of robots getting flung every where, and a highly energized Ukitake. The same creature was now asking if he had been nicknamed a citrus fruit.

Yamamoto rubbed his forehead. He knew he would be getting a head ache when he saw a woman tracking muddy paw prints on the ceiling. When he asked for it to come down it started asking him about his past and oranges! Of all things that he expected to happen conversing with a wolf woman standing on the ceiling wasn't even on the list.

He watched as the woman hopped from the ceiling and landed on the ground. "Miss Amaterasu. Please stay for my next meeting."

The woman cocked her head. -Where is the next meeting?-

He gestured to the room behind him. "Thats the captains meeting hall."

The wolf goddess looked behind him for a moment before nodding. -But first I will go look around-

Then the wolf woman disappeared with a bang.

I can't decide if Yamamoto should be someone from the okami universe or if the appearance should just be a coincidence. I mean Kuni is a part of his name. His strength could come from either nagi or susano. AND HE FRIGGIN' LOOKS LIKE MR ORANGE ESPECIALLY WITH HIS STAFF! Like really! His zanpakuto could come from his passionate personality! AARRRRRGH decisions decisions decisions.

Amaterasu creeping Gin out and disciplining Yachiru is an aspect of her godhood. Amaterasu can see the core parts of their personalities but not their thoughts or motivations beyond basic emotions. I figure Gin is someone who values his secrets more then his life and sensitive enough to know what was happening. Yachiru on the other hand fully respects Amaterasu because she treats Yachiru as an equal rather then a kid. Besides, do you really think Yachiru is the kind of person to bully her partner in crime?
