~With Altria~

He smiles, "I'm forever grateful. Thank you." something catches his attention in the distance. "huh?"

Mikiru and Akkei arrive at the edge of the clearing. Mikiru looks at Akkei and nods thankfully for the help, then starts heading towards Shiro and Altria. "... oh.... you're both here... that's good." he leans on his zanpakuto for support.

Shiro glances over at Mikiru, a wary look flashes across his face. "..... what do you want?" he seems really agitated.

Mikiru seems a bit intimidated by Shiro's gaze but doesn't make any move to show it. ".... I.... came to talk.... hoping you might listen to what I have to say."

"It's nothing Shiro-kun,compared to what you have done..I,"about to say more she falls silent as Mikiru and Akkei arrive.Standing up still a bit wobbly she moves to stand near Shiro,addressing Mikiru coldly."Then talk."

Staying a little back she leans on a tree,crossing her arms.Small impatience to head home,to check on Yasei and most importantly,to inform their dear leader of her wonderful discovery, bubbles up.'That will certainly shut him up about everything else.Hmhm,perfect too considering what I'm going to ask of him.'But the first thing a scientist learns is patience,with a sigh she pushed the feeling down,concentrating instead on planning out the next step needed to be taken on her discovery and listening to the conversation about to take place. 'They won't forgive you easily,Mikiru-kun.Shinigami are mostly emotional beings when it comes to things like comrades.Even though..relatively speaking,that was not you.'

Loki looks horrified at her insinuation,bright red spreading across his face. "N-nani?!W-what!! No! Y-you insane neko!T-that's preposterous!W-why would.." He sputters for a while growing more red.Finally Loki swiftly turns away,saying quietly."Stupid Hollow." Acting like she's not there anymore he notices Shin looking around."What are you looking for Shin-san?"

Loki appears puzzled."Ryu?That Arrancar you mentioned?Out of the two signatures his was the one identified..Why do you want to find an Arrancar?" There's a small hidden wariness in his voice.

Miyuu snickers at his flushed appearance,ignoring the rude comments about her sanity and intelligence."Fufufu..yer such a kid." Smirking she takes her hand away from the slash in her side,tilting her head to take a look at the wound.It's almost fully closed,only a thin red line remaining.Satisfied she straightens and examines her bloodied hand before absentmindedly proceeding to lick it clean."If ya want Ryu,Shin-kun,he's right over there." She waves with the other hand without stopping," Oi,Ryu-kun.Ya might come out now ya now."

Ryu laughs as he approach them

"I know I know. It's not like I'm hiding or something."

looking at shin, he smirks.

"What goes on Shin?"

replying to loki, shin says calmly.

"Oh nothing, it's just something i need to clarify to get the report done once we get back to soul society."

looking to the direction miyuu pointed at, he turns around and sees ryu. replying to him,

"Nothing. It's you on what goes on."

ryu laughs again.

"What goes on on me? What is this, bonding?"

he laughs mocking shin

"Anyway, if you really wanna know, i was just having fun. nothing important."

hisashi disappeared from where he was standing.

Finished cleaning her hand she wipes her mouth and yawns."What happened ta Hisashi?Did ya beat him?I kinda didn't see how it ended,playing with wolfie.

~with Altria and Shiro~

Mikiru sits down and looks between altria and shiro, before beginning he places Tatsutahime behind him. ".... I wanted.... to apologize for everything this one has put you both through." his gaze is steady and has a very ashamed look on his face.

Shiro glares at Mikiru, "Honestly? you expect us to buy that? Do you really honestly believe we'll forgive you by just saying sorry?!" Shiro's patience seems to be waring thin.

"Apologize all you want..I will not be forgetting or forgiving things done any time soon." Her face darkens as the memory of Shiro fading away surfaces.

___With Shin and Ryu___

Loki is storm between his desire to kill off Arrancars and the need to stay cautious,conflict showing on his face.In the end he remains quiet,observing.

~with Altria and Shiro~

Mikiru simply nods his head, "one understands all too well, I just wish for you to know that my actions were being manipulated by that... 'Thing'..... though it was mostly under control for a time, it eventually took over and caused the pain and suffering you experienced." he looks down apologetically then glances back to altria. "About ten years ago, this one was sent to patrol a remote area of rukongai. I was formerly the 2nd seat of the 9th division, but that changed when I was ambushed on my way back from my patrol." he pauses for a moment before continuing on about the labs and the terrible experimentation that was being performed there. he continues to explain about how a hollow was fused into his body and the botched process and how he almost died from it, and finally ends on how the hollow was continueously spreading through his body and eventually took him over.

Shiro stares long and hard at mikiru, his angered expression is replaced with one of calm understanding. "..... hm...."

Listening in silence her thoughts are in turmoil.'He was a vice captain..from the labs and the files..it's obvious they go after strong people..and the labs..there's some kind of connection that I have to it too..I got my revenge on the Hollow,right?I heard it screaming..so..but..ah,I don't know what to think...what would niisan do?' She let's out a frustrated sigh."Then,I don't know you.Therefore,as of yet I have no opinion of you."

Mikiru remains silent for a while before getting up and bowing respectfully,"tomo arigato.... thank you." He picks up his zanpakuto and stars walking to where Akkei is.

"Well?Happy,Mikiru-kun?Your apology was accepted and somewhat forgiven." Standing up she adjusts her hat."Shall we head home now?"

Watching him leave in silence she seems troubled.Sitting down on the boulder she pulls up her knees and crossing her arms burrows her head in them.'I hate myself..it's pathetic.I can't do anything right..what happened to me?I should have just killed him..hollow or not..that hand swung the scythe..that mouth said those words..old me would do it..didn't I promise it..pathetic..I'm breaking promises left and right..I hate Mikiru Urame..but..that's not him..argh!..and I actually helped him..' 'Kichoo did it for that worthless boy.' She flinched at the words.'Don't call him worthless!I'm the one who's worthless here...can do nothing right..helping someone who's an enemy..I..I..wish niisan was here..' She pulls tighter together,laughing at herself for wishing something that could never come true.
