Everything Should Green[Open]

[Nonko Ryuuza]

Nonko had entered the human after a long time. The last time he could remember was the day he activated his Nova Project and spoke with the King of Hell. When he was let out of hell he found himself in the human world. Now he came here via his senkai gate in the Underground R&D Labs. Things in the world of the living haven't changed much. The sky is still blue, the clouds are still white, and the grass is still green. Green is a good color. Nonko's mind started thing about the different versions of the one color. He seemed to be in a rather peaceful mood right now. Strange for him, but not going to be questioned.

The only person who actually knew him here was Nanako, and she didn't care about how he acted really. Instead she just watched him as he walked through the park. After a few minutes of walking he stopped as he felt the reiatsu of a either a spiritually aware human, or an actual spirit. Wonder if they've noticed me?

[Clyde]

Clyde was taking a little walk around the park. No matter how hectic and crazy things got for the young man a little walk in this area always calmed his nerves a bit...well most of the time anyway. He certainly had been in some stressful situations recently and it was nice to be walking around without some fuss being caused because of it. The boy started to whistle lightly as he took his stroll through the park, watching some kids playing ball. Clyde did not actually know he could whistle until recently, but he found it to be pretty enjoyable to do anyway.

The boy walked down the path with a rather calm expression on his face, taking in the fresh air. He passed by an oddly dressed man but did not take much notice of him, only making brief eye contact. The guy seemed pretty ordinary to Clyde...but then again Clyde was the last human to know the difference between ordinary and insanity. He just kept whistling as he walked by the man, even after Nonko took notice of his spiritual energy. If Nonko saw him make eye contact he would probably know that the boy could see him, otherwise what he did wouldn't have made much sense.

[Nonko Ryuuza]

"Well he can see me, and chances are he can hear me. Nanako have you seen this boy before?" Nonko turned to Nanako who stood behind him looking at the boy. She had met him before, but didn't know his name. "yes Nonko-sama. He lives with Master Hasaki." She spoke up. Nonko looked back to Clyde. He knew Ryo and that meant he must be one of his new students. He moved to stand right behind the boy. "Hi there boy."

((short crappy and purple...it's all good))

[Clyde]

"Hmm?" Clyde stopped whistling as someone was speaking up behind him, trying to get his attention. He did not recognize the voice, but he turned around anyway to see who it was. Strangely it was the man who he had walked past just a moment ago; Clyde was not sure who he was but he gave him a light bow knowing it was the respectful thing to do from past experiences. "Uh...hello sir." He said as he bowed, looking back he noticed someone else standing behind the man...someone he did recognize.

"Oh hey, I remember you!" The boy said with a somewhat more chipper attitude, tilting his head to look over at Nanako better. "Thanks again for your help with my friends earlier...those were some pretty bad injuries but you were able to fix them up nice and quick." He thanked giving her a light bow as well. "Hm, she's a shinigami right? I wonder what she's doing here all of the sudden." he looked over at the older man, "Is he with her or is this just some sort of coincidence that I bumped into her...I doubt it.' He gave a light sigh to himself and waited to see what the guy wanted, for some reason nine out of ten times these sort of "bump ins" always ended with a spar of some kind and Clyde just was not in the mood to fight today.

[Nonko Ryuuza]

"Those injuries were nothing. My Regenerative Serum can regrow whole arms and legs." Nonko commented on the boys compliment to Nanako's help from sometime ago. He looked down at the boy and looked him over with a kind of cold stare. Scanning over him with his eye. 165,160,160, and 160. High numbers for a human. I must admit he is stronger then some shinigami. I wonder what kind of power he has... As Nonko thought to himself looking over the boy. Nanako took it upon herself to introduce him since he was suddenly lost in his own thoughts to do it himself.

"This is my master and creator Ryuuza, Nonko. Shinigami Captain of 12th Division." She said. Nanako walked out from behind Nonko to his side so Clyde didn't have to bend his neck to see her. Normally she wouldn't care, but she was trying to be kinder to most people as long as they were kind to her.

[Clyde]

"Nonko...Nonko. I think I've heard that name before from Ryo-sensei. So he's allies with Sensei then and one of your captains too? Well that's pretty nice to know." The boy nodded saying this half to her and half to himself aloud. "Well you've really helped us out then Ryuuza Senpai, thank you." He said to the man, though he was not even sure if he heard it, the guy was giving him a rather intense looking stare that was kind of making the situation a little uncomfortable. "Master and creator though...not sure I'm following that..." The boy followed up to Nanako's explanation, scratching the top of his head in confusion. "Is she being serious, what did she even mean by that? Is he her father? Never heard any of the other humans I know refer to their parents as master though...maybe it's a shinigami thing. I wonder..." The boy began to think to himself, giving a somewhat similar stare Nonko was giving while scratching the back of his head. Now it looked like the two of them were both off in their own little worlds trying to figure out certain questions they both had.

[Kimiko Sasaki]

Kimiko had felt the familiar spiritual pressure when she had entered the park and had been traveling towards that very pressure. She noticed as she drew closer that there was actually three different pressures in the the same spot and that they all were completely familiar. That meant that the person that she needed to talk to was standing with two others and that she may have to pull him to the side to speak to him. She walked up behind the three just as Clyde was saying he wasn't sure what master and creator meant and she laughed a bit at it. She was feeling a bit better now that she had spoken to her lieutenant real early the day before and it felt good to laugh.

"Nana-chan means that Ryuuza-san created her. She isn't exactly human you know." Kimiko said in response to what Clyde had said not waiting for either Nonko or Nanako had a chance to.

[Nonko Ryuuza]

"Technically all beings from the Soul Society aren't human Sasaki-san. Most are souls of the dead or shinigami. However you are half right. Nonko-sama created me in a lab. I am a Designed Organic Lifeform or doll." Nanako corrected Kimiko quickly before Nonko would say his own piece of the information, but in no doubt a rude way. After Kimiko spoke up and made herself known Nonko looked up and remembering what had happened in the labs of his with her and Hue.

"You seem well Sasaki-taichou. Your friend doesn't seem to be with you anymore. I wonder what happened after I saw you two last." he kept a straight face while saying that. Nothing new for Nonko to try and irritate his comrades. He then looked back to Clyde and smiled. "I'm more interested in you. Whats the strongest beings you've fought? Did you win? How badly were you hurt?"

[Clyde]

"He literally built you then. Never heard of a power like that." For some reason this information did not seem to bother the boy all that much, nor was the idea that they were all the spirits of the dead. It did not matter in the long run anyway, he had scene first hand how helpful the shinigami were to the humans so they had his respect at least as a group. "Hey Kimiko, I seem to be bumping into you a lot these days." He laughed a bit giving her a small bow as well. To regular humans it looked like this boy was insane, bowing and talking to thin air. A pretty humorous sight.

He was gonna ask Kimiko how she was doing since the last time he saw her, but all of the sudden got a series of questions from Nonko that were rather specific. The boy lowered his head a bit and averted his eyes. The last battle he had been in was with the Lord of the Deep himself and it was not so much a battle as it a beat down...not to mention the death of one of Clyde's only real friends. "Sorry...I'd rather not talk about that, if you don't mind. It's rather personal." He said with a sense of melancholy. He sighed in a moment of silence but after that he lifted his head back up and seemed to be okay.

[Kimiko Sasaki]

Kimiko smiled when Nanako corrected her and looked at Clyde to see his reaction to it. Nanako had told her that she had been half right so it wasn't like she had been completely wrong and almost everyone knew that she wasn't a human, spirit, whatever you would say. She laughed at what Clyde said about it and looked around for a seconds. It probably looked funny to those who were passing by or perhaps looking over in the area but it wasn't that bad she didn't mind people thinking she was crazy or such. She laughed when Clyde addressed her saying that they had been bumping into each other a lot and she sighed at his light bow.

Kimiko's attention was taken off of him, however, when Nonko talked addressing her and she couldn't help but glare at him. It was only for a few seconds but it was pretty intense not something that was normal for her. Her gaze let up when he started to ask Clyde a series of questions about his fighting skills and she noticed the boy lower his head and avert his eyes. She could tell by this simple motion that he wasn't comfortable with the questions and his words made it even clearer. She sighed a little after he had sighed and ruffled the boy's hair despite the height difference and look of age difference although she was defiantly older.

"It's alright Clyde-kun." Kimiko said with a smile mostly suggesting she understood. "Don't badger the boy, Ryuuza-san. It's not very civil of you. Besides, I'd like to speak to you." She continued resting her maroon eyes on Nonko.

[Nonko Ryuuza]

"Personal? Whats so personal about combat. Combat is enjoyed and hated by many. Personally I dislike fighting, but I fully willing to hurt and kill my enemies should the need arise." Nonko didn't seemed to care for the feelings of the boy. He asked questioned and wanted answers. However Nanako tapped on his shoulder and stared into his eyes. "Fine. I'll seek a different human more willing to talk."

He then turned to Kimiko and gave her a black emotion expression. "Than just speak." He replied to her telling him that she wanted to speak with him. He waited for whatever it was that she had to say.

Nanako walked around the two and moved to push Clyde away from them. "I'm sure what they have to speak about isn't something meant for humans. Instead I have a question for you. What is 'TV'?" She spoke softly to Clyde. Asking a random question out of her own curiosity.

[Clyde]

Clyde remained silent as Nonko scoffed at the boy's reason for not answering his questions. However Kimiko managed to get a light laugh out of him as she needed to stretch her hand and stand on her toes just to ruffle with his hair as she was too short normally, somehow it just made the boy feel a little better. It seemed both Nanako and Kimiko defended Clyde a bit, at least enough that Nonko backed off his questions for now; It gave the human a bit of relief. Silently he nodded his head to them in thanks.

"...You need to talk with Ryuuza-Senpai, Kimiko?" Clyde asked out of curiosity, happy to talk about something else besides recent events he was involved in. Maybe she needed help with something, the boy was willing to offer some assistance if she did but all of the suddenly felt something pushing up against him only to realize that Nanako was pushing him away from the others. "Huh, wait, what's the matter-" He was about to say before Nanako interrupted him, claiming that their subject matter was not for the humans ears. He sighed and gave up, allowing himself to be pushed away.

As if things weren't confusing enough as they were, Nanako posed another question to him. Something that should have been relatively easy to answer, what a TV was. "What? TV?" His voice was a bit surprised and awkward. "The heck did this question come from" was the first thing he thought, the second thought was that he actually did not know much about TV himself. "Uhh, TV. Heh..." He laughed a bit clearing his throat, "...It's a box that can show like moving pictures and shows. Sometimes it shows things from real life in things like the news...and uh, other times it's fictional stuff that people make to entertain...uh yeah, that sounds about right." He muttered the last part to himself. Spending his time at the manga shop he rarely saw one but the boy did hear the other humans talking about television shows that they watched himself. "Oh but sometimes it's not a box, but like a flat-screen made for walls. We might have one around the shop but Ryo-sensei rarely ever uses it." He continued with his flimsy explanation, scratching the back of his head with a silly expression on his face. 'Man, she's asking the wrong human for questions like this..." He sighed silently to himself; a shame his nice nature meant he would try and answer her questions as best he could.

[Kimiko Sasaki]

Kimiko sighed at the reaction that Nonko gave to Clyde's words and her own defense against him. He didn't seem to care that the boy had been through some tough times recently and it matter because he probably didn't know either. She noticed that Nanako, however, stuck up for Clyde too although she didn't speak a word and the look she gave Nonko seemed to be enough to make him say he'd just ask some other human. She knew that one of his friends had died and that it had been someone she had been related too, which was why she had been so upset herself earlier although she didn't know why. She had recently did some digging and found out that that had been the reason why she had been overly upset although a quick visit to the girl's grave had fixed it.

Kimiko looked at Nonko catching the look he gave her before telling her to speak and she laughed nervously a little. It hadn't been the nicest look after all. She looked at Clyde when he asked if she had to talk to Nonko grinning and nodding her head at him. She watched Nanako push Clyde away from the two so that they would be able to speak with ease and turned her attention back to the 12th Division Captain.

"I thought I'd kindly ask if you'd forget about the discussion we had a couple of days ago. We both know I live for my job." Kimiko said giving him an intense look, which wasn't normal for the dark haired captain.

[Nonko Ryuuza]

"Nothings free. You must forget everything you saw." Nonko was, of course, talking about what she and hue had seen in his labs. The stuff there was not meant to be seen by anyone not even another captain. So for him to forget about that event completely she would need to keep Nonko's labs a secret.

Nanako, meanwhile, was still slightly confused about the whole TV thing. A box? She thought. "Humans invent strange things." She commented looking at the boy. "You answered my question so I shall thank you by answering any question of yours."

[Clyde]

"Oh, any question I have?" Clyde blinked with a bit of surprise in his voice. "Hmm..." He lowered his eyes and began to think to himself. At first he was not sure of a particular question he could ask though there were plenty that needed answering for him. "Hmm, is there anything she can help me with...she is with the shinigami. Maybe...there is something I could ask." He let out a light sigh as he continued to think for a few moments before he lifted his head back up. "I do have one..." He began to say to Nanako his expression getting somewhat serious, the question he had held some sort of importance to him it would seem.

"You and Ryuuza-Senpai are shinigami, you save the dead and ferry them to the spirit world..." He continued to say, "My question is simple, did...Tsukiko Kusakabe make it to the spirit world when she died, is she at peace?" He looked at shinigami with a light pain in shown in his eyes, perhaps guilt. Knowing that she died in peace and moved on to the spiritual world would perhaps help the boy with his troubles. "There are probably more useful questions I could have asked, in fact considering my situation I know there are...but right now that question weights heavier on my heart than any other does." He explained with a light bow, "I'll understand if you can't give me an answer, but that is what I would like to know." He kept his head bowed and waited for her response.

[Kimiko Sasaki]

Kimiko blinked a couple of times when she heard Nonko say that nothing was free then said that she had to forget everything that she had saw and looked at him like he was crazy. Was this the real Nonko? She had been expecting something completely different to asked of her but then again she guessed he wasn't really all that cruel like she thought. She didn't know why she thought that he was cruel or maybe it was the things that she had saw in his lab. She shuddered at just the thought of that lab that she had been in and nodded in agreement to his words.

"Agreed. Not like it was something I wanted to remember anyway." Kimiko smiling at Nonko since their private conversation had come to a close.

Kimiko slightly bowed to Nonko as a polite gesture and looked over to where Nanako and Clyde were standing. She was thankful of Nanako for taking Clyde away so that he wouldn't have to hear or be able to hear their conversation and that she had helped a bit when it came to Nonko's stubbornness. She walked over to the two with her usual cheerful manner and she seemed to step in on a pretty heavy conversation. The look on Clyde's facial expression had given it away and the fact that she had walked in on the conversation when he said the question he had asked before she had approached them was weighing the heaviest on his heart. She looked back and forth between Nanako and Clyde trying to see if maybe she'd be able to figure it out from that but she couldn't and for some reason she felt that Clyde needed a hug so she did just that; she hugged him like her cheery self would do when someone was feeling sad or upset.

[Nonko Ryuuza]

Nanako thought for a minute before Kimiko had come over to them. Shortly followed by Nonko who took it upon himself to answer Clyde's question for her. "With the large amount of Shinigami stationed here to protect passing souls so likely chances are very high that this Tsukiko Kusakabe is already in the Soul Society." Nonko looked at the boy as he spoke. Hopefully that would be a good enough answer for the boy. Not that Nonko really cared he just knew Nanako told him he would get an answer.

Nonko then turned to Kimiko as he made up his mind to explain his reason for being here. This he didn't mind if the kid heard. "Sasaki-san..." This would be the first time he ever spoke her name without taichou. "I figure I should explain why I am in the living world. I have come here to hopefully train with an old friend. I wish to strengthen myself to a level I never bothered to try for during the war, but will need in the future." Nonko explained as best he could. If he was confusing he didn't mean to be however as far as he could tell she should be able to understand.

[Clyde]

"Ah..." The boy looked over at Nonko quietly...it was not exactly what he wanted to hear; he obviously would have preferred a definite answer of "yes" or "no" over a "very possible," it technically left him no better informed than before, he could only assume now. There was not much he could do about it though; he would just have to believe that she was there now in soul society and at peace. "I see, Thank you." He gave a light bow to his head in appreciation though his disposition did not seem to change much for the better.

Focusing on the conversation, Clyde was taking by surprise as someone suddenly wrapped their arms around him in a cheerful hug. Kimiko did not really hear the conversation, but it was obvious to her that the boy was a little sad. Her hug caused him to laugh lightly...for some reason the simple action was enough to make him feel a lot better. He was not sure why, maybe all he needed was a little support, but regardless he was glad for it. It made him feel calm and, well, happy. "Ahaha, thanks Kimiko." He reacted to her hug happily with a grin, returning the gesture in response.

He would listen with the other two as Nonko explained his reasons for being in the living world and it was something that the human found himself doing quite a lot, training. "-That old friend wouldn't happen to be Hasaki Ryo, would it?" The boy asked with a more calm and happy attitude than a few moments ago, recalling that the two seemed to know each other. "He's my teacher after all, I couldn't think of a better person to train with." He gave a small nod as he thought back to some of the training Ryo had put him through recently.

[Kimiko Sasaki]

Kimiko looked between Clyde and Nonko because of the response that Clyde had gotten from Nonko and figured out why he had been so sad when she had walked over; plus they had said her name. It was more than likely that his friend had already been shown the way to the Soul Society because what she had learned about her she figured she was a pretty rational person. She was glad, however, that she had caused Clyde to laugh in reaction to her hug, which he thanked her and returned the gesture; hugs usually helped a lot. She looked at Nonko when he addressed her with an honorific rather than taichou like he usually did and stared at him oddly for a second or two. She listened for his reason for being here and then looked at Clyde when he began speak again.

"You never know what the future may hold but it doesn't hurt to train. I don't have to guess on that one since its my hobby." Kimiko said in reply to Nonko laughing a bit at the end. "Ryo-kun is fun to train with but you are too Clyde-kun. Or maybe it's just the training that I find fun." She continued speaking to Clyde this time smiling and laughing a little bit again.

[Nonko Ryuuza]

"Hasaki is the person I wish to train with, but the training I wish to do would be much more deadly if not done with great care." Nonko spoke to both of them. The kind of training he wanted involved something he never really took the time to work on. "Right now I believe Hasaki is the only person who can help me train. He is far stronger then I so he would be as close to perfect as I need."

"I see Nonko-sama. I had wondered why you didn't explain to me why you came here." Nanako started of starring at Nonko. "As of right now most captains are either new or just slightly weaker then you. You wish to train with a powerful force to make a powerful force. Am I correct?"

Nonko looked at Nanako and nodded. He wasn't sure if Clyde would understand what they were talking about, nor did he know if Kimiko was understanding it.
