The Forest spans for a few square miles and harbors a plethora of pluses as well as hollows here and there that stalk those pluses. A mild fog seems to hang almost permanently in the deeper, darker parts of this forest and even though it spans a large area nature trails spider through the majority of it.
"We do not rise to the level of our expectations. We fall to the level of our training...its a good thing I've had a thousand years of training."
Meandering through the more inner parts of the forest Kiyoshi stepped lightly over a large cluster of rocks, his wooden geta clicking softly as he bounces from rock to rock. "I wonder...what to do today." He thought to himself as he left the large rocks behind and stepped into the soft grass, though he didn't have long to think about it before he the sounds of rushed foot steps greeted his ears. They were headed in his direction but he simply looked in the direction they were coming from, he had a good idea of what it was and a second later his assumptions were confirmed as four pluses came running through the brush and fog calling to him. "Kiyo!~,Kiyo-san!Hey, Kiyoshi! Hey!" The four pluses ranged in their appearance of age from about twelve to seventeen, he had come into contact with them before and usually entertained them with tales of things that had happened in the days he was part of the Soul Society and it seemed as though this encounter would be no different.
"How are you four today?" He asked them, a cheerful smile on his face as he looked them over, it looked to him like this would e the last story he'd tell to them...their soul chains were getting short but that just made him smile broader because they would get the chance to live the life he was privileged to have. Listening to them tell him about how they were he chuckled and engaged in conversations with them but it wasn't long before they fell silent with the look of anticipation in their eyes, this was usually his cue to start in with a story and of course he obliged as always. He told them this time of an old friend who was obsessed, nay, addicted to candy, cookies and anything containing sugar. This story went on for a couple of hours and when it ended coasted a wave of groans and whines from his little audience who obviously wanted to hear more but their time here was up and thinking for a moment Kiyoshi spoke again. "Tell me, would you all like to see these places? Would you like the chance to have your own stories to tell others?"
He spoke like he was trying to recruit soldiers for an army and got back gasps and wide eyed nods as replies from the pluses. Instructing them to close their eyes he waited until they complied before drawing his zanpakuto and gently pressing the pommel of rthe handle against their foreheads, causing them to disperse into spirit orbs. One by one they floated into the sky as if they were balloons that had been set free before they slowly faded out of sight and with a sigh Kiyoshi re-sheathed his zanpakuto before sitting indian style, pulling out a gourd from his tattered robes and taking a drink from it.
"The worst mistake you'll ever make in this life or the next, is allowing yourself to fight me while I'm sober"

"We do not rise to the level of our expectations. We fall to the level of our training...its a good thing I've had a thousand years of training."
It had been a bout an hour since Kiyoshi has sat down and started to drink and by the time he had downed half of the gourd his head began to swim, causing him to become tired. "Mn...last time I visited the world of the living they had vizard, wonder if they're still around." He muttered to himself as he swayed side to side before placing the gourd down and taking off his captains haori and spreading it out on the ground behind him.
Yawing Kiyoshi grabbed the gourd and layed back on the haori with a satisfied grunt. " Maybe ill try to look for them after I sleep." Putting a cork into the gourd he stuffs it back into his clothes and puts his hands behind his head, watching the sky breeze by through the canopy of the forest. It wasn't much longer before his eyes closed and he slipped into sleep and now that he wasn't concentrating on keeping it in check his spiritual energy began to slowly climb which in turn attracted a few nearby pluses. He had called this forest home long enough that the pluses who saw him on a regular basis knew that when he slept most hollows stayed away and so they took advantage of this, waiting until he was well asleep and his energy crawled to that of a shikai level before they gathered near him, finding protection in the fluctuating pressures.

├ Kanata had finally made his way towards Karakura town. His eyes scanned through the small ferns and the arms of brances. He continued walking down his own path, towards the town. Suddenly he felt a waving pressure amongst him. "No way can this be a hollow..." Kanata was thinking to himself. Quickly, he had drawn out his bow ready for an attack from any direction. His pace became slow and quiet as he made sure he wasn't causing any leak of his own spiritual pressure. He had passed by a few animals on his way, and soon enough, he came upon a body. "The hell is wrong with this guy... by the looks of it, he seems like a shinigami, but something about him doesn't seem the same as other shinigami... As soon as Kanata looked up, he realized something. He was lost... 's**t following this pressure got me lost... He scowled, 'All I can do now is just wait and ask this shinigami if he knows the direction to Karakura..' - - - -
"We do not rise to the level of our expectations. We fall to the level of our training...its a good thing I've had a thousand years of training."
It had been a good while since he had fallen asleep but eventually his zanpakuto let out an obnoxious pulse of energy, then another, and another until he slowly opened his eyes. "What the hell do you want? You know I was sleeping..your rude." He muttered to his zanpakuto as he slowly sat up, running his fingers through his hair and yawning. As he woke himself up his spiritual pressure sputtered and quickly began to drop until it eventually became hardly noticeable. "Huh? oh.." He seemed to talk to himself as he got up and redawned his rust colored stained captains haori before looking around at a few pluses but it wasn't long before his eyes fell upon the male that seemed to be watching him.
Kiyoshi looked at him for a moment with hardened eyes but soon his eyes soften and a smile washes across his face. "Oh, well hello there your not a plus and most people don't come this deep into the forest." He chuckled a bit before taking a few swayed steps towards this new arrival and although his speech was normal it was obvious by his slight swaying that he was more than likely intoxicated. "What, if for any reason, brings you to my neck of these woods?"

├ Kanata listened as the man accused Kanata of awakening him, "Gomenasai.. He then realized that the man was not speaking to him, but to himself. Well then... uhh'I-I'm not a plus? Kanata was asking himself, "Kon'nichiwa Mr. Shinigami-san!" Kanata greeted the man, "My name is Kanata Nanami, and I'm just curious which way is it to Karakura town," Thinking he may have to supply some more background information, " You see, I'm live further North from here." Kanata said pointing into a direction. "Wait ... I don't think that's North... He changed the direction to his right, "Wait ... I don't think that is either... ANYWAYS, I kinda was following your reiatsu, as it was somewhat different than any I've ever felt... and got kinda lost in the process. He felt somewhat humiliated by himself, as his facial expression could easily show it. - - - -
"We do not rise to the level of our expectations. We fall to the level of our training...its a good thing I've had a thousand years of training."
Resting his left hand on his zanpakuto, which in turn was fastened to his left hip, he scratched it's pommel as he listened to the boy but just smirked as he tried to tell which way was north. "I suppose I could help you but you really ought to learn how to read the sun kid." He joked and as he finished speaking vanished in a gust of wind only to appear high above the canopy of the forest standing in the air with his hand above his eyes to block the sun. "How does someone who lives around here forget where they live?" He thought to himself as he looked at the town for a moment before vanishing again only to appear infront of the boy again and points towards the town. "Head straight that way, you ought to hit trails after a bit but that's north." Returning his gaze to the kid he smiles before speaking. "I'm no shinigami kid but thanks for the compliment all the same...wait, you can see me.." Yes, it had finally hit him that he had been talking to what he assumed was a normal human." You must be one of those special ningen...not that I haven't encountered your kind before but its certainly been a while."Kiyoshi began curiously looking the human over as he spoke.

├ Kanata gave out one of his, 'ehehe' smiles as he scratched his hair, "It's kinda hard to depict the sun direction with my eyes." He laughed a bit. "I can see you just fine because I'm a quincy." again making one of his 'ehehe' laughs. He didn't really feel like there was anything to hide from this man, he knew some shinigami were still out there hunting for Quincy's to kill, but judging by how the man had just treated him, he really doubt anything crazy would happen. 'So he's not a shinigami... but he looks just like one! Is it something I'm missing? OO it has to be the different kinda formed reiatsu coming from hi-' Only now Kanata realized that he had also felt a hollows spiritual pressure. There was no doubt about it, he was one of those 'vizards.' Personally, Kanata never had beef with those guys. "Thank you sir!" Kanata smiled as he started walking towards the direction the man had given him. - - - -

"We do not rise to the level of our expectations. We fall to the level of our training...its a good thing I've had a thousand years of training."
Kiyoshi listened to the boy and as he reviled himself as a quincy Kiyohi's eyes narrowed. " A quincy huh? I didn't think id see one of your kind again...time hasn't exactly done your people any favors." Kiyoshi knew all to well the history between the shinigami and had taken part in the wars himself but no angst was ever held against them, no angst on his behalf any way and with his face lightening up again he smiled. "Oh well your quite welcome." His voice was mildly cheery and he watched the boy begin to walk off before his liquor slugged mind caught up to what was going on. "OH!" He jogged up besides the quincy as the boy made his way to a path. "Say, since you live in the town you wouldn't have any information of a group calling themselves vizards would you?" He had decided to finally stop being a hermit and look into this group and since going back to his old life was a bit of a stretch he figured he might as well try to start a new one and if this person could point him in the right direction then that would be all the better.

├ "Ehehe, yea time seriously hasn't done any good to us but things happen." He said walking away. Suddenly, he heard the footsteps of the man running up to him. Kanata turned around hearing the question, "I haven't been back here for a while, but the last I heard, there were quite a few vizard's here, including Ichigo, Kurosaki along with others. There's a good chance you could find one of them there. I'm not 100% sure you will find one though considering how long it has been." Kanata didn't want to sound as though the man was for sure going to find a vizard in the area. Suddenly, the question hit him, "Why would you be looking for the vizards though?" Was his personal intuition correct about the man? - - - -
"We do not rise to the level of our expectations. We fall to the level of our training...its a good thing I've had a thousand years of training."
Listening to the quincy Kiyoshi nods, He was glad to hear that there was the prospect of other vizards but he had referred to one by name specifically... perhaps this Kurosaki was a leader of them? Honestly it didn't matter to him who their leader was because as the boy spoke of not being able to find them due to how long its been Kiyoshi sighed. "I see..."
This obviously wasn't a piece of news that he wanted to hear but it meant a few things that were worth knowing, first was that there was someone who would more than likely know for sure whether or not these vizards were still around. Secondly, if they were around this Kurosaki person would probably know exactly where to find them and lastly was that if they were no longer around then maybe where they used to be was. He would have to pay this Ichigo Kurosaki a visit and ask. Hearing the quincy ask him why he was looking for the vizards he looked at the boy and raised an eyebrow. "Can he not honestly do the math?" "Well I've had to leave the soul society for reasons that are usually deemed illegal. I had done my best to keep my it under wraps but it seemed like after years of doing my best at that task my other side was getting tired of taking the back seat and I was having no luck at keeping collateral damage at a minimum." He pauses for a moment thinking and looking at the canopy as they walked. "But as illegal as my hallowfication was I think my up and abandoning the Seireitei without so much as a kiss-my-a** constitutes as treason..." He started to chuckle at the prospect of having some kind of bounty on his head, though he doubted that was anything near the case of the situation.

├ Kanata listened as the man continued his story. "Ahhh I see!" He said smacking his fist into the palm of his other hand. "So you're out here in the middle of nowhere because you took part in a process called hollowfication which had made you half hollow..." Although Kanata had vowed to kill as many Hollow as he could, he didn't see how a shinigami mixed hollow would have the insanity of an actual hollow. To him, Shinigami were reasonable in there killings of hollow. "Outcasted in other words.." Kantata said as his voice died down. His family had been through a similar feat. As a family that felt no hatred to Shinigami like other's, he had been mocked upon by relatives and his quincy 'friends.' "You should take another visit to Soul Society!" He said excitedly, "They've changed quite a few of their ways, and I've also always wanted to make my way there!" Kanata's eye's began to sparkle at the thought of visiting Soul Society. - - - -
"We do not rise to the level of our expectations. We fall to the level of our training...its a good thing I've had a thousand years of training."
"Well, it wasn't exactly something I took part in, it was more of a contamination problem, then I was kind of a guinea pig for squad twelve..bastards, then one thing led to another..some slip ups and ta-da~" His head lulled side to side as he named off the order of things but ended with him shaking his head. "As for going back for a visit there are a few problems with that plan, firstly even if they have changed some ways I'm still a traitor and unless they've changed policies about THAT I might as well go take a nap o the execution stand. The only option to that would be if they took pity on me and just threw me in with the maggots." At this point he was scratching the pommel of his Zanpakuto again but looked at the boy with a curious look in his eyes. "And how would you know about how they're running things now? I'll admit ive been out of contact with them..or anyone for longer than id care for but last I knew id be in just as much trouble for dragging you there as youd be in for breaking in."
He smirked at the boys ambition, he was eager to just simply go and it was an admirable trait but with the tensions that could still be found on both sides of the quincy's and shinigami it could end badly. "Hmm, you wouldn't know where to find this Kurosaki would you? Mn, Maybe they'd know where to find these Vizards..." He had begun mumbling the last part to himself more than talk to the quincy but soon returned his attention to him. "I'm Kiyoshi Kinzoku by he way, its nice to meet you." He had almost forgotten to introduce himself, after all this new acquaintance was nice enough to converse with him.

├ Kanata continued bobbing his head as Kiyoshi listed reason's why it would be a terrible idea for him to return. "I see... Hmm.... I see..... Uh huh..." Kiyoshi continued with these phrases as he was taking in what the Vizard was explaining. "I've personally only heard rumors, but it would be boring just sitting back the whole time while you could jump into Soul Society risking your life exploring! Kanata chuckled jokingly. Continuing with Kiyoshi's question about Kurosaki, "I believe he works at a Clinic somewhere by a bridge." Unsure himself. "Again, not 100% sure." Kanata again, scratching his head. "By the way, it's a pleasure to meet you too Kinzoku-San."'Took the guy long enough to introduce himself' Kanata smirked within his mind. "I have heard of one Vizard though.." Kanata started thinking. 'What was his name... Shi... no... wait... yes. Shirooo.... Shiro Ichimaru!'"Yes, I'm actually more sure that this person is still in town somewhere." Kanata smashed his fist against his palm. "I could accompany you to him if you wish." Kanata laughed. He had to at least help the man who guided Kanata the right directions. - - - -
[[OoC: I have one more Vizard character that isn't doing much cause someone isn't replying... so I could bring him in. Make it easier since 'Ichigo kurosaki' doesn't post often razz ]]

"We do not rise to the level of our expectations. We fall to the level of our training...its a good thing I've had a thousand years of training."
"I've left people behind that I cared about and if I was going to return and risk my life there's no way I'm just going to let myself die, that being said I will kill anyone who stood in my way and id rather not risk the chance of it being one of them. So I stay here." It was truly the only reason he had for staying in the world of the living and by his guess no one had tried to contact him so he did see there being an open armed reception on a return home but once Kanata spoke of a vizard that he knew of for sure Kiyoshi's eyes lit up and he gave a broad grin. "Yes, I would like that very much." He wondered why this quincy hadn't gotten himself lost sooner, he was most indeed a god sent and Kiyoshi would owe him for this.
