Ryo simply shrugged " its the after life truly, hollows are demons that devour souls, you just so happen to have a eat me sticker smacked on you by the luck of the draw sadly, but its not a complete curse if you use it to help others. " he would simply explain.
" Besides hollows there are shinigami, they are the spirits dressed in traditional clothes that are all black and white. They are part of the Gotie 13 which is simply put the military of the afterlife, they police and fight for everyone along with shepherding souls to soul society, which is simple terms is like heaven, but as you have noticed they cant be everywhere at once, so that's why we pick up the slack and do there jobs for them. " he said with a snicker " Then there is the Quincy which is a clan of humans century's old that fights the hollows for pride and honor, they are kinda like the ghost busters of the spiritual universe ,few in number, interesting to see fight, but kinda sold short. " he would explain and start to scratch his head. " thats basically the majority of the groups in the afterlife, of course there area few smaller groups but its best to just stay clear of them, due to the fact they arnt usual to friendly or just like to cause trouble. " he would warn Clyde purposely avoiding a few select groups in the spiritual universe for reason to not over load Clyde.
" That Basically it, well the basic bits anyway that you need to concern your self with right now, but now that thats out of the way " he would say with a nod and vanish before Clyde's eyes moving so fast as he would appear 3 feet away from him swinging his arm at about 15% speed and only 10% strength on purpose to make sure Clyde could actually avoid or block the attack.

Clyde's eyes widened as Ryo suddenly appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye. Ryo would swing at him but despite the young man not being ready, he instinctively used his right hand to roll backward off the rock avoiding the attack, but leaving his pole on the rock with no time to grab it. Rolling off the rock, he nimbly landed on his feet and took a few steps back in surprise.
"Hey, what are doing?" He yelled over at the older man.
"Whoa, I was looking right at him and I didn't even see him move! How is that even possible?" Clyde thought cautiously as he tried to keep his eye on Ryo, making sure he would not do it again.

Ryo would sigh and slowly raise his arm again " That was disappointing, if i was a enemy you would have bin killed on the spot just now " he said simply and lowered his arm and reached for Clydes pole and tossed it to him. " Its pointless to train your self to be prepared if at the slightest change you drop your guard and leave your weapon " he said simply and ran his hand over the rim of his hat.
He would appear again using about the same amount of effort of Cylde Ryo hoping this time he would summon his weapon and block and most likely due to the force and speed go flying into a near by rock or rolling around on the ground a few dozen times.

Clyde grabbed the pole as it was thrown back to him, sighing lightly when he did. "Ack!" Cylde grunted as Ryo appeared before him again, despite the boy doing his best to focus on him he moved right next to Clyde without detection. The boy quickly lifted up his weapon and summoned forth his spear instantly to block the strike from Ryo.
"Not this time!" He said confidently as Ryo's hand struck the spear. However, his grin faded fast and turned into a wince as the force of the attack launched Clyde off his feet and sent several feet until he crashed into a large boulder behind them. He slid down it onto his bottom, and grunted in pain.
The boy looked carefully behind him and saw the large crater he had made into it's surface. "If I hadn't blocked that...he would have killed me! Is he crazy?" Clyde thought as he used his spear to push himself back to his feet, if Ryo looked at his face it would be easy for him to tell what the boy was thinking. Once he did he felt the surface of the boulder he had rammed into, surveying the damage more closely. "Master Ryo is unbelievably strong, if I'm not careful I'll be the next thing to get crushed by his power." As Clyde said this, he realized he had kept his eyes off of Ryo and immediately turned back around and braced himself incase another attack was coming.

Ryo would already be behind him by the time he looked for Ryo. " Is this how you intend to get your memories back? " he would ask simply and smirk as Clyde would look in his direction he would flip over him holding his hat on his head, his robes flowing with the motion as he landed he spun around on one foot his other foot half extended moving at a rate Clyde could follow but with a just more power behind it then Clyde could handle. Ryo had purposely put this much effort in it so he could get his point across to Clyde and truly open his eyes.
" Show me your strongest attack show me that resolve of your Clyde-dono, let me see yoru spirit roar " he said with a chuckle having already some thing planned that he knew Clyde had already not counted on. Ryo's eyes seem to flicker demonicly in the sun as Clyde would look at him.

"Auh...." Clyde let out a low grasp as Ryo was already behind him, taunting the boy as he flipped over him to preform another attack. Clyde had no chance to reply to his question as the kick came hurdling towards him, he again lifted his spear in an attempt to block the attack but was sent hurdling across the field with the amount of power Ryo had put into it. He rolled across the ground several times before planting his feet to the ground to stop his advance across the desert ground. Even then, he dragged across the dirt for several more feet before coming to a complete stop.
Breathing heavily he slowly rose back to his feet. "See my spirit roar? Just what hell are you talking about?" He muttered to himself. "Either way, he wants my strongest attack, he's gonna get it!" Clyde thought in his rush of adrenaline as he would concentrate every bit of his energy into his spear. He began to charge Ryo at that point as a pair of wings made from his own reiatsu grew out from under the head of the spear, this allowed the boy to lift upward and attack with a piercing strike much faster than he normally would be able to. He would charge directly at his teacher hoping the extra speed would be enough. 'Yyyyaaaah! He yelled as he closed in on his approach.

Ryo smirked and raised one hand in a some what defensive manner. He would analyze exactly how Clyde performed this feat as he approached and rose up Ryo would see just exactly how every single spirit particle flowed and the weakest point. " I see it now " Ryo would simply say and as the final moment came he would spin his arm in a tight and small windmill fashion and move to the right slightly knocking the spear away from even touching him and avoiding the whole attack, his other hand would come across and smack in a kudo chop like swing to the back of Clyde s head, hopping to knock him out, or at least make him dizzy. Tho Clyde didn't realize it before hand, he had used almost all his power before trying this attack, the training alone push Clyde to the max, and now he had a new max thanks to just a few hours with this drunkard Clyde surly had to be at his limit more so then ever before now.

Clyde took the blow dead on, completely knocking the wind out of him. The attack immediately forced him to drop his spear from his hand, apparently no longer having the strength to hold it. as the spear fell to the ground the reiatsu was removed from it and it returned to it's original form of a regular pole, while the reiatsu traveled back into Clyde's arm. The boy began falling forward from his lack of energy, it would look like he was going to pass out at that moment.
"Not yet-" He'd cough out as he descended towards the ground.
However, just as he got about halfway down his left arm would grab onto Ryo's shirt, stopping his fall. In one final attempt he would spin himself around and try and punch his teacher with his right fist, which surprisingly had a smaller glimmer of power still within it. The right hand went upward towards Ryo's face, and whether the boy hit or not, he would pass out from exhaustion immediately afterward, his strength being completely drained after this last attempt.

Ryo would smack away the pathetic punch with his left hand ina slapping motion and catching him in the same breath and hold him over his shoulder. Ryo would let out a sigh, " not to shabby kid " he said as he grabbed Clydes pole in his other hand,and slowly started to head toward the stairs again.
* Geez, kids got allot of potential, with all that he bin through ya think he would get a little bit of sense...then again * he would stop as he reached the top of the stairs and looked at the pole. * Guess loosing ones memories has unaccountable drawbacks and unforeseen effects. * he would think to him self as he would get into Clyde's new room and drop him down on the futon and toss a few blankets on him and set his pole off to the side. As he slowly got up he would look at Clyde's peaceful looking passed out face. " Sleep peaceful now while you can...today was your first day with open eyes to things you cant begin to even truly see. " he said simply with a smile and slowly started heading out of the room, a tender caring look in Ryo's dark red eyes.
As the moonlight filled the little manga shop he would slowly pour himself a saucier of sake and smile look out the window then taking a sip. " Unlimited resource manipulation and reconfiguration of spiritual partials, I will call it...Hou-renkinjutsu " he said with a smirk as he took a long sip of the sake on the saucier, a intrigued and curious twinkle shined from the moonlight in his eyes.

Post by Zakura Kessin on Oct 23, 2009 0:56:25 GMT -5
Kessin had been bumbling about town for an hour or so in his gigai, drinking sake and smoking his cigarettes as he went along without a care in the world. After awhile of aimless walking, he came across a manga shop not too far from the mall. He looked inside and saw an unbelievable amount of manga and anime as well as different sets of dice on sale in a display case. "Oh...my *hic* god, yes, yes YES! YES!!!" The door burst open, sunlight cascading in behind this drunken figure. The only thing the customers on the inside saw was a strange human silhouette, a giant smile and white holes that were his eyes in the area of his face, holding up a bottle of sake. One word was uttered from Kessin's mouth and it was said slow, deliberate and drunkenly. "Sake!"
He stumbled over to the shelves and began diving into the different manga, nearly spilling sake on some poor kid. "Oh my god, I love this store! I want, this one, and this one, and this one and this one!" He began pulling out different mangas to read while seemingly being entertained like a child. He had no idea what was going on underground though, or that this was Ryo's shop for that matter. The customers were staring at this spectacle now who smelt of alcohol and smokes. "Does this place sell pocky? Where pockey!?!" Kessin clearly didnt care about the other people.
After a couple of minutes he quieted down and continued to read the mangas, holding them up to his face so his face wouldnt be seen as much. "I wonder if this place allows smoking." He said aloud to himself.

Ryo was half asleep at the counter just some what staring off into space thinking about what he would have to do the next few days when he felt a familiar reaitsu one that he had known for far longer then many would like to admit. As he saw Zakura stumble into the manga shop a sigh would escape his lips as he watched the moron dance about in a drunk daze inside his shop, as he started spilling sake on the floor his eye would twitch as he seemed to start to come down form obviously a long night of drinking a hard comical punch to the back of the head would smack into Zakrua's head.
Zakura's sake was forfeited quickly as Ryo quickly swiped it and made his way to the counter. " Hozaku come speak with me " he would simply say as he took a seat behind the counter and sniffed the sake and his right eye twitched for a moment as he set it down barely out of reach of where zakura would surly stand to speak with Ryo.
" Ya mind not stumbling in here damaging what i do for a living, just cuz ya work for big bad Mr.Akuro-kun but really...cmon " he would say simply trying to reason with some one obviously drunk...then again wasnt Ryo always drunk?

"Oww! If ya wanted some all ya had to do was ask." Zakura said to Ryo as he stumbled over to the counter Ryo was sitting behind. "And just to let you know Mr!...I dont work for Kuro...I never went to see him!" Kessin may be drunk but a moment of clarity was upon Ryo and himself. "He beds with arrancar...that is something I cant circumvent in my head. I only came back here looking for some help. If you can help me, then I have no need for one who keeps disgusting company." Kessin began eyeing up his bottle of sake which sat just out of reach.
"I need to sober up a bit...do you have any tea and somewhere to speak away from prying ears?" He asked Hasaki inquisitively. He leaned his right arm on the counter and rested his head on the same arm, closing his eyes in the process in the hopes of washing this drunken feeling away so he could talk turkey.

Ryo simply just gave a smirk and glanced at the door looking outside for a while. " Pfttt, i warnted you Hozaku-senpai about Akuro-chan's underhanded deals for power. I thought you would have listened a bit more...but non the less...my offer is always on the table senpai, after it all it wouldnt be right for me to let my senior just booze him self everyday to prevent from his darker side form gaining control " he said being as attentive and intuitive as always knowing exactly why Zakura wanted to drink still so much.
" you can even stay here, i just ask you dont speak a word of what you see around here, after all it being private property and such " he said simply with a nod and pointed him towards the back. " Down the hall 5th door on the right is the kitchen fix us up some tea, i have work to do " he said with a groan and glanced at a few kids that were reading the recent Nar*t* manga. " Today's special, 10% off of those for ya " he woud say making a deal with the kids.

A dumbfounded look came over Zakura's face when Hasaki told him to make tea. "This is unbelieveable! I am Kessin!..." His thought drunkenly went on about how great he was and something about how he created the earth in 90 days or less. When his thought was done he grudgingly stumbled on down the hall. Before he walked into the kitchen he turned back. "And I'll tell you one thing....I drink because *hic* the only one to beat me in the *hic* game of drink is me." With that, he proceeded to walk into the 4th room on the right, the women's bathroom where he rudely interrupted a female customer doing her "business." "Oh, sorry ma'am!" A short scream followed by a loud WHAP was heard as Kessin was viciously attacked by the woman with a rolled up newspaper.
Kessin fell backwards out of the doorway, the woman shutting the door and locking it. After a few seconds, Kessin got up and brushed himself off only to see everyone in the store looking down at him. Looking at the door, back down, back at the door again then at the customers he pointed to himself and said the only thing that would pop up in his mind with a sad look on his face. "No ticket." He then walked down one more door and entered the kitchen. Looking around, he amazingly grabbed all of the needed ingrediants and hardware needed to make tea and proceeded to make a kettle.

Ryo would just be face down on the counter smashing his head into the counter " Baka-senpai,Baka-senpai,Baka-senpai " he kept repeating for a short amount of time every time he smashed his head into the counter till finnaly Zakura would most likely come back. " Just take the empty room in the far back n ther opposite side of the storage room. " he would tell Zakura and sigh. Slowly glancing around the room starting to see the customer he did have starting to leave being creeped out by Zakura's so far actions.
" Keep control of your self during store hours, or ill put you up for sale Hozaku-senpai " he would say with some sarcasim trying to get his point across to Zakura. " So what is it that ya want to talk about " he would ask simply looking at the door once again.

After a few minutes, Kessin finished preparing the tea. He set a small platter down on a nearby table. Finding two tea cups and matching china dishes in a cupboard, he set them down neatly on the ends of the platter, the tea kettle in the middle. Carefully picking it up, he brought it out to Hasaki, setting it down on the counter gently and to everyone's amazement, without spilling a drop. Before speaking with him, Kessin turned to face the customers inside. "Sorry for the commotion folks, continue shopping for all of your manga needs!"
He turned back to Ryo, picking up the tea kettle in the process and poured some of the hot liquid into the tea cups. "My my Hasaki-kun, lighten up a bit. I think you need this tea more than I do." With a wide smile, he places a full tea cup and china plate in front of Ryo. "As I remember, you were much more of a ruckus back in the old days." Kessin referred to the practical jokes he pulled along with his old captain and lieutenant back when they were still shinigami. He picked his own teacup up and began sipping it. "We have much to discuss it seems." Kessin showed a little hesitation about continuing the conversation in front of the shoppers, this was obvious.

Ryo would chuckle " I'm plenty relaxed take my word for it. " he would say and take a glass of tea and take a long deep sip. Slowly the people in the shop would head on out and Ryo would get up. " So what is it you wish to talk about that you SO greatly need to talk to me about senpai " he would say as he got to the door and flipped the sign to closed.
" Obviously i doubt its to go on a panty raid in the 4th building again " he would say with a light smirk and snicker. Ryo would make his way back to his seat and look to Zakura his long time senior and once friend wondering what in the world he would want to talk about that he would start going on about this and that infront of humans.

He thought back to the 4th building... as captain of 10th division, he couldn't actually be involved in any panty raids however he could make sure that the culprits didn't get caught due to the fact that his division was sent in to investigate the theft of said undergarments. A chuckle escaped his mouth.
Kessin's face became a little more serious, looking upon Hasaki. "Firstly...It seems you have taken a couple of humans under your wing, no doubt to train their spiritual power." Kessin paused for a few seconds before continuing. "If you wish, I can help in this endeavor. They seem to have spirit and basics down but from what I saw back in the city, they need to work alot on their perception and tactics." Kessin's knowledge in these were impeccable, being able to take on and defeat stronger foes that other's couldn't or wouldn't be able to under normal circumstances.
"This is up to you Ryo...let me see what they can do, and I'll see what I can do for them. This can even be thought of as repayment for the second topic I wish to discuss....my inner hollow." Kessin referred to the training Hasaki said he would help with. "I grow weary of fighting this thing and getting no where. Help me leash my hollow..." Kessin looked a bit sullen as he sipped his tea.

Ryo would sigh moving his cup in a small circle making the tea left inside swirl around he would vaguely look at the tea and then take a quick sip finishing the tea left and put his cup down some what roughly. " Ive bin doing this for some time, the humans are my thing, i may ask you to help being a test dummy or in certain fields i just have much knowledge once in a while, but thats about the extent of it, as you gaining dominance of your own soul is what matters most " he would say putting it how he did on purpose for Zakura to catch onto something.
" Training the humans is my redemption and my path to my future. I suggest you start looking for a way for you to find some thing you yourself want to do for the rest of your days, because tho you may not have come to terms with it Senpai...we arnt in the Gotie 13 anymore...we arnt militarized, and most of all, the only duties we have no is that ones we choose. " he would say trying to help Zakura cope with the truth of the heart of the matter.

Kessin chuckled a little and poured himself some more tea. "You remind me of myself many years ago..." He had a look of nostalgia on his face. "I myself trained spiritually aware humans in a small village, Wakkanai if I remember right... a 10 day travel north of here--" He stopped abruptly for a few seconds, apparantly deep in thought, remembering back to when himself and the four humans he trained assaulted an Onigami stronghold all those years ago...and the fact that none of those four survived.
"You say you do this for your own redemption... be careful Hasaki... this can lead to their deaths as well as your own destruction..." Placing his cup back on his saucer, Kessin walked off, coming back a few seconds later with a stool to sit upon...he had grown tired of standing. "I realized long ago that I am no longer of the Gotei...I realized that when I placed my Haiori over my pupil's bodies as they turned to ash and sunder..." He was being vague as to what he was talking about. What he was describing was the "funeral" that Kessin himself prepared for his 4 human students, placing each one upon a pile of tinder and herbs, then setting each one ablaze...much like what the greeks used to do. Before each one was lit, he tore his 10th division captain's haori into 4 large pieces and placed one piece upon each body, the piece with the crest of the 10th division being the largest piece and placed upon Akane Aya, the only woman student and the one he was closest too.
Kessin's eyes were a bit welled as he stared off into space, in remembrance. After a few moments he began to speak but with that stare still on his face, his voice breaking up a bit at times. "In order to fight, one must have and understand his or her own reason to fight....I lost all of mine. All I wanted was to pass on my knowledge before my time was done....but all it ever ended up in was tragedy...am I a cursed soul?" It was a rhetorical question. Kessin placed his head face down upon the counter, tears slowly falling freely from his eyes onto the wood. His right arm would coil around his head, his hand would run through his hair and grasp is scalp, obscuring most of his face from Ryo. His drunken state had obviously passed and the real reason he drank so much has shown itself a little more.
He then said in a broken voice. "I had long feared...that my sins would return to visit me...and the cost is more than I can bare..."
