Panic in Soul Society.~Plot Mission 3.~

shin notice uriko woke up

"uhmm..oh uriko..you're awake now, the arrancars left already thanks to you...although I'm not sure what's going on right now.."

~In Altria's room.~
Blinking blearily she slowly opens her eyes."Nh..?? T-tsuki?What.." There's a rush of raised spirit energy and she gets pulled back into unconsciousness. Frowning at the resistance he concentrates harder."Forget Kichoo,you must forget..do not try to remember."

Shiro twitches and turns to look in the direction of Altria's room. "??"

Uriko relaxes and leans on Shin. "oh......" she seems saddened, and thinks about Mikiru.

"something.... doesn't feel right" Shiro gets up and walks to Altria's
room, he opens the door and enters closing it behind him. He notices someone else in the room, and tenses slightly. "who... Who are you?" he seems wary and somewhat causious towards Tsuki.

Shiro's eyes widen in shock. "! so..... you're Tsukiyomi....... Altria's zanpakuto spirit...." he pauses and looks over to Altria, "...... what exactly...... are you doing to her?" he crosses his arms but doesn't reach for his sword, though he's thinking about it.

Shiro relaxes, and becomes very submissive. "......."

Shiro narrows his eyes,"what do you mean willing? I owe her my life Tsukiyomi, do I really need a reason to protect her?" he leans against the wall and glares at Tsukiyomi, "We were all human once, and don't treat me like some kind of parasite." he pauses before continuing, "You're not the only one's who've experienced death in the most horrible ways." there's a hint of anger in his voice.

Shiro stares at Tsukiyomi with a curious look, but nods, "of course." he walks over and stands a few feet away from Tsukiyomi. (in thought) '........ I owe Altria my life....... and will protect her until my last breath.'

Shiro nods, and follows Tsukiyomi obediently.

Shiro looks around and feels a sence of calm, he follows Tskiyomi to the tree and stares at it curiously.

Shiro stares in interest at the silver tendril begining to form, but seems wary at the same time. (in thought) 'this feeling........ it's so familiar.... almost.... nostalgic.....' Shiro seems lost in thought.

Shiro looks at his wrist just as the silver tendril disappears. "..."

at shin and uriko..

shin comforts uriko...

"It's alright uriko-san, everything would make sense soon...and would be back to normal."

Shiro nods, " They won't harm her..... not as long as I still have life left in my body." a wave of determination emanates from Shiro. "You can count on that. " He smiles slyly at Tsukiyomi then turns to look at Altria, "...... Is she going to wake yet? She's starting to worry me."

"There's no need for concern.The one keeping her asleep is me but I'll be returning now,I cannot sustain this manifestation much longer without starting to drain her own spirit energy.Do not tell Kichoo of our meeting for knowing that you've been in her inner world will only make things awkward for the two of you." Turning around he sits on the bed once again,leaning over Altria.Cupping her face he places a kiss on her forehead,"You will wake now,my Kichoo." "Mmm?" shivering,she frowns."Oh,yes..one last thing.Don't die.Once one is dead they can not protect anyone anymore.A destroyed shield is of no use..and it will surely break her heart." Glancing over his shoulder at Shiro,there's cold menacing fire in his eyes."Make no mistake, if you cause her pain and suffering I will lock all memories of you so far away she will not remember who you are or what your name is." With those words his form shimmers for a moment before disappearing. Blinking her eyes sleepily open Altria stretches with a yawn,like a cat.Feeling unusually rested and peacefully calm,as if she just spent a few hours in the inner world, after a moments consideration she ascribes it to Tsukiyomi's reiatsu wrapped around her like a comforting blanket. Noticing someone else in the room she sits up,looking around in slight confusion. "Huh?It's night already?Shiro-kun?What happened..we were leaving Captains office..I er..said some stuff and then.." Frowning she tries to recall what happened next,thinking it over.'Weird..I don't remember..it's just blank..Tsuki..wasn't I saying something to him?'
