"You know ive never thought about it" Thinking about it he finnaly said something hoping he wouldnt give away anything. "I would like to be a ghost that helps people" Unsure if this answer was acceptable he waited for the young mans response. "i know it sounds stupid but i like helping people" All the while he was thinking god i wish this guy would go away, if i had my sword with me i would knock him out. The inner him glaring at the young man but he held his emotions on the inside.

Kuji agreed to his fact, noting if ghost exist than he must have some connection to protect them or something of that sort. He placed hands and his pockets wordless. Walking away without further questions his journalist heart burned anew. He could lie to himself, that man could lie to him, but truth would prevail through all the smoke screen. Knowing that his answers laid within the hospital, Kuji would pay attention to every little detail when he made his next visit. Whenever that visit came he knew his preparations must be complete if the story is to be connected: the girl escaping with her life, the monster that tried to consume her, and then the powerful aura emitting man. Each piece would connect, but until next time. During this dead of night he walked home, passing by all the junky neighborhoods and creepy allays.
OOC-You have to remember the tenacious nature of journalist LFH.

Glad to get away from that reporter he gathered himself up and acted calm again. Walking still towards the hospital taking a longer route now to avoid gazes he found out his pink hair actually atracted more attention. Arriving at the hospital he looked up hopefully Faust's friend would still be here and he could perhaps retrieve the power he gave to him. Walking up stairs to find the room he finnaly entered to see a sleeping kid in the bed.

Well, he seemed asleep. Covers were thrown over his head, eyes closed as they visualized the day's event. Wierd, to simply say. Keim was alseep on the other end, head nodding off on the small chair he sat in, brows furrowed from unrest despite napping already.
When the door creaked, Rem tossed his covers and looked. Familiar but not who he wished it to be. "Oh, it's you. Looking for him I suppose? He said he went to get fresh air or something like that." He paused, carefully placing his eyes on the man. "Could you..." Another pause. The air felt intensified, something creeping, something negative. It began to stifle his senses. But he continued on, frowning as he said, "... could you make sure he's okay? I know he's stubborn and all, but yeah... is it me or did the pressure change?"
By then Keim had rubbed his eyes mumbling. "Ugh, what's that dreadfulness..." His voice wanders off as he stared at the pink-haired man. "Um...um... you are?"
Rem snapped quickly, wincing as he accidentally pulled on the IV a bit. "Nevermind that, don't you feel that? In fact..." A pause. A sickly cry arises. "Don't you hear that?!"
~~~
Faust was on his feet. Barely on his soles really. But he managed to stay up and back off slowly. Obviously from its looks alone, it was the Hollow from previous. Even without decent arms left, it had one pretty nasty jaw. IF it wanted, it could swallow Faust whole it seemed.
The corrosion seized him slowly, and it wasn't too fun at all as he could already visualize the destruction of the chain before him. His eyes departed it to focus on the threat in front. Best thing seems to be is run down stairs now. Before he could do anything, a cold, slender hand came to his cheek from behind, a voice called to him. It sent a chill down his spine enough to make him leap forward, but he remained frozen.
It was odd enough, and he broke the trance and looked behind. Nothing. Something's playing tricks. He doubled over in an onrush of pain, gasping and gritting his teeth. Where were the Shinigami when one needs them? The spector stumbles him way across, trying to gain some distance. No where to run on rooftop damn things all.

Kamoku sat quietly on the rooftop of a traditional 16th century mansion. He was pleasantly surprised that he found one in this area. 'This brings back memories...' he thought to himself. He laid back, and stared into the sky above.
Suddenly he felt a large spirit pressure. It was comming from the hospital's direction. No doubt about it, it was the Hollow he encountered earlier. He quickly jumped up, and flash-stepped towards the hospital. 'Now I'll finish him...' He thought.
He could see the hospital, and soon notice that the Hollow was on the roof. But there was another figure standing there. It was Faust, he was under attack. Kamoku jumped up high, pulled out his sword and launched a vertical strike. Unfortunately the Hollow noticed him, and evaded the strike. Kamoku moved to Faust's side. "Get out of here, quickly!" Without awaiting a reply, he charged once again. He ran in a straight line towards the Hollow, but at the last moment he vanished, reappearing above it. He pointed his sword downwards. Once again, the Hollow noticed him, but this time it couldn't evade the attack fully. Though aiming for it's head, Kamoku had to settle for the shoulder, and he jammed in his sword as deep as he could. He quickly pulled it back out, flipped off of the Hollow and gained distance.

The spirit powers presence on the roof got stronger as Kamoku arrived to fight with the hollow Koijet hurriedly ran up stairs finding it easy to lose stamina in a faux body. Before he left the room he told the kid "I'll do everything i can, I already dont wish him to turn to a hollow or stay a ghost" Still running up the stairs he hoped that he could get there in time. Arriving on the roof he found that Kamoku was fighting the hollow from before and faust wasn't moving much it must mean that he was about to turn. Running over by Kamoku he shouted the demon spell names and shot a straight beam of electricity right through the side of the hollow which would have past where his heart should be. Koijet wanted to hurry with this or Faust would change before he could stop him.

He slid away, onto a wall or so, just to rest. Or continuing cringing as the pain became unbearable. Faust refused to scream though, gritting against all urges to shout out. His broken form just laid there as the chain was eaten away piece by piece.
The second figure watched in the shadow of the shade created by the moon. It just looked on until it couldn't bare it any longer and sunk into the depths. Faust instead noticed nothing else, now his attention was all on the chain. Just then, it started to increase, the corrosion breaking appear the metal-like substance even quicker. And more noticeable for the spector, the crushing sensation in his chest forced him yell out before the pentagram at the base of his chest cracked. Shattering to thousands of pieces, he watched it fall to the ground almost with the most horrid expression he had ever had.
In the room, somewhere within the hospital, the two people in there suddenly lurched up at the same time. Rem stood up first, getting protest once again from the other, but he didn't care as he yanked the IV out and put on his shoes. "I can't sleep with that stupid thing in my arm anyway!"
"Idiot, are you trying to cause more trouble?" Keim rubbed him head, pushing his locks away. "Ugh, my head... what are those noises outside...."
"You... hear them too?"
"Huh?"
"Nevermind." He reached for the door knob, before the other blocked his way. "Wha-at?"
"I'm going along."
"Whatever. Hurry, geez..." They opened the door and began looking about before, after a moment of a pause, decided to head up the stairs. At least that's how it felt, drawing them there.
~~~
The wind stirred; the moment past kind of eeriely. He also crouched there, like a broken figure, lost in some kind of amazement. All of that broken in less than a second when again he was seized by a force which wracked his body like a blender spewing fire and sparks inside. A white-paste spewed out of any opening on his face, enveloping his senses. The gust that picked up grew bigger and bigger until a boom sounded.
The Hollow, while busy picking back at the Shinigami, turned its gaze for a moment at the spectacle. The two moving bodies inside the hospital stopped walking, taking in what they just felt again, and started running up.
Faust opened one closed eye; he couldn't really feel anything anymore. Did he DIE again?! Whatever it was, he managed to open both to take in the odd scene of the interminable black and white checkered grounds he stood on. Death within death must be even stranger?
He didn't understand, and for once, he'd rather not. All he want was peace and quiet in a non-thinking zone. Like that will ever happen again. His blue eyes wandered to the bright sky above with little fluffy clouds passing slowly. Yet that was not what grabbed his attention; it was the figure sitting plaintively, dressed in a black hooded outfit with a long ragged white scarf. Even though most of the face was hidden, a mischieveous grin was absolutely evident on his face. More shocking was the face the figure was standing upside-down... ON the sky, or thin air.
Somehow shocking, but one gets over it after seeing crazy things for maybe a few days straight. Faust stared, and before speaking up, the other being did. "Ah, well, finally met, have we?" The timber of the person voice was hard to distinct.
"I... guess so."
"Wouldn't YOU like to ask something? Hm?"
"T'ch, do you know where you are?"
"Of course, but do YOU?"
Again a bit of anger. "No, how the hell should I? And I was referring to you sitting upside-down."
"Ahhh, but you were unclear. But with such disclarity, how do you know I am upside-down? When I can be right-side up? Especially when you are the one upside-down, standing upon an illusion yourself."
"Huh?" As if on que, the ground shattered like glass, dispersing into millions of black and white doves. It left them both standing now in air, surrounded by birds and oh-so blue sky. "Hmph."
"Arrogance. Stubbornness. I do not at all see how we are related." The person joked.
"Get to the point." He snarled.
"Patience, patience! It is a virtue, you know. But then again, our time is short. And you must choose quickly. Be witty on your feet."
"THE POINT?"
"Easy, what did you feel was the point of your life?"
"What?"
"Answer! You've always had a purpose! If not given by some god, you had always made one for yourself. Now that you have 'died,' have you given it up? Incredulous! Shall you leave that spirit to perish without a fight? To 'live' or to dwindle to a non-existence; your choice!"
"I don't understand... what do you mean--."
"It takes no explanation! Some decisions... are taken without more knowledge of their situation. But nevertheless, what they choose is the path they take, and it leads somewhere. Progress is made. But if you make no progress, you lose. Fairly simple. The unknown factor is always there. Like... Dreams... you never know for sure if they can be achieved, but if you persist, the opportunity is endless, right?"
Faust gritted his teeth. "...."
The figure sighed. "I can't say much more, but overall it's your choice."
"I'm not that big of a coward."
"Humm?"
"You heard me."
A chuckle of maybe an approval. "Great. Let's hasten. The only thing left is to find me."
"Whaaat?"

OOC: Due to Kagie-sama's constant-ish IMing and somewhat plea, I have... AGAIN, lol, returned to Naruto Nindo. =D My characters on the thread, Bleach RP?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jumping quickly in flash steps, she arrived to watch the event. It was beautiful, but also horrifying. The end of a ghost's life, I'm guessing...? The expression upon her face, quiet and drained, changed to a more excited look. Her amber eyes moved around observing her surroundings that might be of importance. Two, three shinigamis in the vicinity? Two humans with a rather high sense of spirits as well... Including the attacking Hollow alongside the hospital walls and roof. She didn't speak much before silently and swiftly gliding over besides Kamoku. "Hey?" she suddenly spoke out among the silence. The spectacle wasn't as enjoyable to her understand, though it had captivated the others. "This mission seems to have gone awry. The captain sent me on his own accord to try and help," she mumbled, not having much interests at this occurrence.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OOC: =D I'll try and keep active.

Halfway returning home Kuji halts his strive home. His eyes were drawn to the lamp lights, seeing moths gathering around the flames, yet they were electric and that matter not to the moths. His senses went crazy, the figures, he heard their voices clattered inside his head, and they spoke over and over again. Never had he experience this before. The power to sense ghost, it somehow increased to the point of feeling their presence from afar. The aura he felt flowing in the air, which all centered on the hospital. There were many, all gathering, and maybe this was the once chance he searched for. He gathered up with strength he had during this night and sprinted of to the hospital.
OOC-Any takers for becoming half-Shinigami and sharing with Kuji? Trouble is brewing, so it might be interesting story wise to have a Shinigami with half strength to share with a human when his life is in danger. If not then my original plan for my character will continue.

OOC: Good to see you back Tsuki ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Surprised to see his lieutenant, Kamoku felt ashamed that she needed to come all the way down here. He lowered his head a bit, though keeping his eyes on the Hollow in front. "I appologize for this mess lieutenant. I failed to set it straight..." Suddenly his attention got drawn behind him. A massive amount of spirit pressure was building up behind him. It was Faust, it seemed like he was transforming. "...Great..." He sighed. He emediately charged at the Hollow once again. This time he attacked from the left flank. The Hollow tried to strike him down, but due to his messed up arms, his movements where to slow to keep up with the agile Kamoku. The Hollow jammed his arm towards him, but he jumped back and emediately jumped on his arm, sprintng along it towards it's head. He sliced the face, and jumped up. Kamoku mumbled a few words and launched a small ball at the Hollow, which exploded in it's face. Kamoku landed, and waited for the smoke to clear to confirm it's destruction.

0oc- ill give you half my shinigami powers since my guy is stuck on mortal place for a while now.
bic.
Koijet felt the disturbing energy flowing from Faust most likely "this is not good." He finnaly reached the top of the roof where he saw another Shinigami from the looks of it from the 10th division same as Kamoku this was just great. It looked as though the hollow was finnaly defeated now Koijet found himself standing over Faust with his sword pointing at his face. "Nobody touch him until hes fully turned into a hollow, i want to have the brute satisfaction of destroying this hollow myself" thinking that his stubborn did him in Koijet waited for Faust to fully turn.

A gentle smile crept its way onto Suki's face. Seeing as the problem of the unusually strong Hollow was taken care of by Kamoku, she turned her focus upon the new coming Hollow. A bit of agitation arose when the realization of a 3rd rank shinigami was present, who had caused the problem. Though with such emotions of irritation and calmness inside, she withheld any urges to completely go all out and bash the other person in the head for his actions. My god… If he’s here, why didn’t he help the ghost before it… Her thoughts stopped, as the smoke cleared, and Kamoku had returned.
Soon, her lips twisted a bit, biting at it vigorously. Blood seeped out, and the taste caused her to stop. D-damn… Those amber eyes turned glaring at the other. “Why does it have to be pink…” she mumbled incoherently, then walking towards the other lieutenant. “If you are not able to kill this Hollow, I shall do so,” she stated with a heavy monotonous tone. Then whispering off to the side with a childlike arrogance and a puffed up scowling face, “I wouldn’t have let anything like this happen to me… And adding more paperwork for the others…”
Her body moved back, giving room for the transformation and mercy kill. Well, to her perspective, it was mercy for the ghost. Time was passing easily… But, wasn’t it a bit confusing? What the hell is taking that ghost so long?! She fumed a bit, giving a cute ‘humph!’ out, not noticing what she had done and if any one noted it. The slithering dragon crawled its way to Suki’s shoulder, letting out a few ahh’s in such a scratchy tone, watching the scene. Amazing… First time seeing one too! SakuraRyuu purred out. “First time for everything…” Her head turned to Kamoku, and made a questioning look, then in a quick motion, turned her head away.

OOC: Sudden Computer Voice: "Please back up twenty feet from the transformation zone in respects of being sucked in, stabbed unknowingly from out of gust of wind, being blown up in sonic boom by gust of wind, and any dangers related to standing too close to a forming hollow."
And LfH, you contradict yourself for a guy in a gigai. You can't pull your sword out like that. BUT I'll just say you DID separate to fight easier.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Find me. I am just above your head, among the feathers." The figure replied. A notch of the person's grin fell, his attention almost waning to a different subject. "Just above, different from the others. Draw me, like you would in battle... because... if you DO get through, you will need me. As a partner, of course."
Birds. For him it was that simple, but the second part was a bit wierd. First guess was obviously weapon, but what did it mean was the question. His eyes coursed downward before they lurched up to scan the flying creatures. Pick one out that's different. There! Barely a speck amongst the white and black doves, a red one.
The figure frowned a bit more, but continued to explain quickly to answer some of the puzzlement. "To gain something you never really had, but always did have somewhere. Let's conclude statim that you should acquire. Hurry, time. Look, it's already shattering...."
There was no need to point out, from everywhere around, the azure sky cracked and shattered like glass to thousands of millions of scattering sand. Faust needed no more heed to move him; his body moved on its own, already sure on what to do. The flying little beasts closed in, escaping the darkness that began to close in. The other being, having his cape whisp up around, tatters just waving wildly in the air, sat still, passive.
Faust's eyes darted around, predicting with his rational thinking where it would be before he took off faster on his feet and lunged. The darkness continued to cave in as fast as it was. The figure still grim in one spot. The spector's hands coming around the small body of a red bird. Until...
Snatch!
His hands close around it awkwardly as it tried to tumble out in escape, but in its own vain. Then he fell, and did not stop at all. His voice stuck for a moment, before he shouted out something he meant to ask. "Wait, I didn't get your name!"
The figure stood, stood much taller than the other had expected, and said clearly in a wry smile, still somewhat sad. "Oh, when the day comes when it's really necessary."
Then just black.
~~~
Another boom, this time, the smoke around Faust exploded, sending any close back at least a little. In a way, a well-made distraction. The two humans who reached top, backed off with large eyes. It was unsure what they got themselves in. Even the Hollow watched, as it shook off the pain, to retreat. Finally learning the lesson of pulling back. Whatever it is now, the attention was surely on the 'newcomer.'
As people recovered from shock and the smoke cleared, which lasted only seconds, a figure moved in front of Koijet, striking his sword in the way to make a pulling noise that only blades can make and pulling back. The sword in Faust's hand had a clear cut blade, completely straight, but katana-styled. The dull side of the blade was furnished to also be sharp half-way except near the hilt (which was designed a bit different in an odd way but provided a nice grip), this made the skewer more easier. Overall it appeared light in his one hand. The other hand gripped his head, where only half of a shattered mask hung on his head. His deep blue eyes were very focused on the pink-headed shinigami as he chose his words carefully. "Are you... mocking me?"
He backed off with a smirk, eyes calm and clear, nothing clouding it. He noticed everyone there at the moment, but ignored his friends. They instead had a dropped-jaw expression; Keim the first to mutter nonsense. Those two couldn't believe it, especially how do you react properly to this all?
Faust cleared his throat, almost amused with sword tight in hand. "Well.... What happens now?"

Koijet stood over Faust and decided to back up a bit it seemed that from his stubborness the transformation could become violent. There was now what some would call a party on top of the roof of the hospital. Out of all the places this much reitsu should not be concentrated in one area. The transformation of Faust too gave off a lot of energy and if Koijet was right there would be many more Hollow's turning up. Speaking of the devil. Five shadows began to form and coming out of them each were hollows intent on eating all the people on top of the roof. "Anybody up for some more fighting?" Jumping over to fight with one of the hollows he couldnt see if the others were following his lead.

OOC: Hold on a sec...LfH, did you just got on the roof twice? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Surprised to see that his attack worked, Kamoku quickly joined Suki's side. It sounded as though she was agitated. And the look she just gave him made Kamoku feel uneasy. He never screwed up a mission this bad, but he was sure to not let it get any worse.
And just now, more Hollows appeared and Faust's transformation was as good as complete. He turned to face one of the Hollows. Kamoku asumed a low stance, held his sword horizontal, pointing it towards the Hollow in front. He waited for permission to attack.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Edited the part of Fausts transformation.
