You can't deal with it...

The Captains have been conviened and they await your arrival. Striding confidently down the hall you throw open the doors before they can open, causing everyone to turn to you. The Head-Captain does NOT seem amused to find you wearing clothes from the Human world instead of a Shihakusho.

"What is the meaning of this?" Everyone stares on curiously.

"Since my arrival...I've been discriminated against daily. Whispers...stares. I've even had an attempt of my life by an assassin!" You cross your arms. "So, I've made my descision...I'm leaving the Soul-Society." It felt like someone had just dropped a bolder through a sheet of glass.

"It is forbidden."

"Yeah, see, I thought so at first too. But...the law clearly states that it is an act of treson for any Shinigami to leave the Soul-Society. I'm no Shinigami, I'm a Visored! I became this way because of the lazy Shinigami! Hollow's are the result of the Shinigami not doing their job!"

You turn your back on the Head Captain and head for the door, stopping briefly. "I'm leaving and I'll take any Visored who are cast aside by the Shinigami. You're ineffective. Actually...to be honest I'm kinda sad to have to say goodbye to you, Shunsui Kyōraku."

"Then don't. Stay in the Soul-Society, Valentine."

"There's nothing for me here. Ichigo Kurosaki...thank you for devoting some of your time to train me...Sensei." You've now completely turned your back on the Soul-Society...

You find yourself in a Gigai, wandering the streets. The Human World is...different. More modern...you enjoy it. Your enjoyment is cut short as a Hollow's shriek breaks the silence...for you at least. In your haste to leave the Soul-Society to were glad you had the presence of mind to lift some Soul-Candy. Popping one of the pieces the goofy rabbit takes over.

"Take my body somewhere safe."

"Roger-Roger!" The thing salutes you and takes off...what a frickin' idiot. Taking to the roof-tops you head in the direction of the shriek. It's a strange looking Hollow, almost lizard like to be honest. It noticed you and goes straight into attack mode. You block it's claws with ease...this thing doesn't compare to fighting with a Captain.

You twist the blade free of it's claws and cleave it in half. It disappears before you and you hop down, looking around the area for the soul it was chasing it. Those things just didn't run around senselessly. Spying the Plus hiding you approach. "Hey, Kid...you ok?" Your voice is softer then it's been in a while. They plus all but rushes you tackling your leg like it's his life-line.

"Whoa, easy." You pry him off and with a simple Soul-Burial send him to the Soul-Society. You smile and sigh...for the moment before you turn and block the blade of a young woman. She recoils and lands a few feet away. "Who are you?"

"What did you just do to that boy?!"

"It's called a Soul-Burial--you're a Shinigami...how I do hate 'em."

"I'm no Shinigami, or whatever you called it!" You stare at her for a few moments...her breathing begins to grow ragged and she clutches her head.

"Ahh...I see. You're a Visored."

"What does that even mean?! I've already been attacked by two guys calling me that!"

'She repelled two experienced Shinigami', you think to yourself. "Maybe we can help each other. I have what you need and you have what I need."

"What do I need?"

"Control. You lack control of that Hollow living in your Soul and because you lack control you're afraid." She grips the hilt of her Zanpakutō tightly.

"And what do YOU need?"

"A place to stay. I defected from the Soul-Society because I'm a Visored as well, just like you."

"Why'd you defect?"

"I've got my reasons. None that concern you." She stares at you for the longest time before nodding and relaxing somewhat. "You've got a Gigai...right?" She cocks her head. "A fake body." She shakes her head once again. "Then how...?" Was it possible it was like you read in the text book. Captain Kurosaki was a special case.

He possessed a Human body and Shinigami powers. Maybe it was the same for her. Deciding not to over think it you just sigh. The two of you make your way back to her place, after collecting your Gigai of course. She has a small apartment with a walk way leading up to the second floor. As you enter she tells you to take a seat and you do.

She comes back with two cups of tea and sits down across from you. "So, what's your name?"

"Valentine Frost...what about you?"

"Yuki Aoi." You nod and sip the hot tea. "You said...you can help me control it." You nod once more. "How?"

"By beating it into submission. You have to enter your own Soul and subdue the Hollow living there."

"And if I can't?"

"Then you go beserk and I kill you. Nothing ventured, right?" She stares at you in silence.

"Then lets do it."

"You have master your Zanpakutō first. Without it's aid you'll never be able to even nick the Hollow. Never underestimate it's power."

"How do I do that?"

"It's gonna be difficult. You're gonna need a Tenshintai or this is never gonna work...but gettin' your hands on one ain't exactly easy." She stares at you quietly. "Um...it's hard to explain, but basically it forces your Zanpakutō Spirit into the world. Instead of taking the time to train."

"How long does the training take?"

"About ten years. But you have to achieve Shikai first." You take a sip of the tea and sigh.

"How come my, um...Zanpakutō doesn't look like yours?"

"Each one has it's own unique appearance. In it's sealed state, like yours, it appears as nothing more then a Katana. Mine is...different." You sigh. "Look, I'm going to try to search for more Hollow's. I want to make sure this town is safe."

"I'm coming too."

"No." She stops immediately. "I think it would be best if you didn't use your Spritial energy for a while. Just to be safe." She stares at you for the longest time before nodding and take a seat as you leave...
