[u]Fumio Hari Kouineji[/u] [b]"... Fuck, [i]NOTHING![/i]"[/b] Fumio continued his fruitless search, asking people around the outside of the Seireitei wall if they had seen anyone which cherry-coloured hair and navy blue/pale red eyes leave the gates.... Unfortunately not a single Shinigami had seen anyone of that description leave the area.... [i]'What is going on? Where did he go?...'[/i] Sliding down a wall near the west exit while raising his left knee to rest his left arm on, Fumio Lightly began banging the back of his head against the stone behind him. [i]'Think!.. Think!'[/i] Fumio couldn't take this much longer, soon enough he'd start tearing the forest apart... but a feeling of being watching washed over him, intriguing him. [b]"Huh..."[/b] The same second that Fumio's eyes accidentally landed on a cloaked figure, said figured darted deeper into the forest at an incredible speed. There wasn't any spiritual pressure generated from this person... they were virtually undetectable by sense. However, Fumio managed to act fast, shunpo'ing from his seat with the target in sight. Compressing his energy as much as he could, Fumio leapt on top of the trees, running along the tree-tops as his eyes held tightly onto the figure trying to escape him. [i]'You've got something to do with Souta's disappearance... I'm sure of it... I'm not letting you escape...'[/i] After a while of jumping, Fumio dropped down from the tree-tops to follow directly behind the figure, running at a decent speed behind this person... A long period of silence floated between the two and the forest around them. Fumio didn't want to talk, in fact, he had enough of talking... An devious grin stretched across Fumio's lips from ear to ear as he thought of his next move to catch this prey... [u]Souta Fushimaru Hari[/u] [b]"Who are you? How do you know who I am?"[/b] Souta snapped his eyes to a guy who walked out from behind a bunch of bushes, chuckling. "Heh, my, you've gown alot since I last saw you. I can sense it from your growth in spiritual pressure~" The man spoke, ignoring both of Souta's questions while pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose. This made Souta narrow his eyes, slowing unsheathing his Zanpakuto while his gaze stayed on the man. Chuckling a little more, the man looked up. "Now now Souta, calm down~ We wouldn't want to do anything rash now, [i]would we?[/i]"[/b] A bunch of cloaked figures stepped out from behind the foliage, surrounding both Souta, the woman and as well as the man himself. Souta held the hilt of his Zanpakuto firm, gritting his teeth. [b]"Tell me who you are!"[/b] He firmly ordered, quickly growing frustrated with the guy's attitude. The man only continued to chuckle. [b]"Quit fucking around! I'm not scared of you or whoever these people are! Tell me now or I'm leaving... And she's coming with me."[/b] Souta raised his voice a little, speaking with a serious tone when the guy didn't answer him, anger evident in his voice. The chuckling man then grew quiet before looking at Souta with his piecing blue eyes. "Well since you're so eager, I'll show you how I know you! Turn around!!" The man looked at the woman before barking the order. The woman winced a little before her head dropped as she looked at the ground. Souta's eyes returned to the woman, watching in anticipation. [i]'It can't possibly be who I think it is...'[/i] A bead of sweat dripped down the left side of Souta's face. The woman then slowly began to turn around... The more and more of the woman Souta saw, the wider his eyes became. [b]"I-Impossible...."[/b] [center][img=http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y404/AbigailTenshi/57034dca-7e56-41f5-b9a0-372225efb520_zps72193fd5.jpg][/center] Souta began shaking again, his eyes were stitched on the woman in front of him... [b]"I-It is you.... K-Konome.... H-how?... I.."[/b] Tears began to surface in Souta's eyes, falling down his cheeks as he looked at Konome. [b]"I... I killed you... "[/b] He tried to step forward but couldn't.... he was paralysed by what he was witnessing. The woman called Konome just kept her eyes planted sadly to the floor, hugging her right arm with her left hand closer to her body. [center][img=http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y404/AbigailTenshi/9cb9e2c8-a14e-43f1-8435-7b0e3e575053_zps35241d6c.jpg][/center] "Heh, her name is Ōhi Sango now, and she's my greatest and most successful experiment" The man chuckled further, this time more darkly. The man's voice stole Souta's attention, anger instantly took over him as fire flamed his gaze and his teeth grit harshly. [b]"WHAT THE FUCK HAVE YOU DONE TO MY SISTER?!"[/b] He yelled, gripping his Zanpakuto hilt with both hands, aiming the tip of his blade at the guy. "I only finished the job you couldn't... Heh, [i]you[/i] killed her [i]remember?[/i] But you left her body out in the open to [i]rot[/i]. At least I put it to good use~ Hmhmhm" Souta's eyes widened dramatically as the man spoke, his anger raising as his blood boiled with pure rage. [b]"You're... dead... [u]DIE[/u]!!!"[/B] Suddenly launching from his spot, Souta swung his sword to the left-[b]"STOP!"[/b] Sango's voice finally left her lips, followed by a whimper... Instantly Souta stopped, his sword held in the air and his eyes wide before they rigidly drifted to Konome who eyes were currently squeezed shut as she bit her lip. [b]"... Konome... "[/b] "AHAHAHAH! You won't attack me Souta, not with this bitch as my meat shield!" The man grabbed a fistful of Sango's hair and dragged her in front of him to shield himself. Sango only lifted both of her arms up, grabbing the man's hand while whimpering in pain but wouldn't do anything to stop him. Souta found this extremely weird, causing both of his eyebrows to raise.... [b]"Konome... What happened to you?... Why are you letting him do this to you?...."[/b] Sango slowly opened her teary eyes to look at Souta but didn't say a word.... She didn't know who he was which was evident by her face since it didn't show any emotion towards him... She only showed pain from her hair being pulled. [b]"What... What did he do to you Konome?"[/b] "GET HIM!" Souta's eyes flicked up to the guy holding his sister by her hair as the people surrounding them jumped into the air and headed directly for Souta. "AHAHHAHAHAHAHAH!!" The guy laughed as the surrounding forest began to warp, the colour of the forest growing darker while the trees turned black. The sky turned a gradient of deep pinky/purple to a coral colour while the Sun had become smothered in darkness, become a large black orb in the sky. A pillar of rock raised out of the ground from underneath the guy and Sango, holding them in the air while moving the both of them backwards, enough to watch Souta. The two stood on the pillar as the guy continued to laugh manically, still holding Sango by her hair. "AHAHAHA! LET'S SEE HOW FAR YOU'LL GET BEFORE YOU DIE! JUST COME AND GET US!" The guy's laughter simmered down to a sinister grin as he kept his eyes on Souta. "You'll be mine soon"
