The start of the hunt.

[Kageshinobi]

"Not exactly. But let me prove what I mean by 'divination' if you are unfamiliar with the term, " she said, drawing out her sword, keeping it vertical blade-down to the ground. "Reveal the way, Ten'yuu!"

Her zanpakutou did nothing much flashy as change abruptly in shapes but maybe that still was an understatement as it burst into bright light. It's final form was revealed as the glow subsided to show the sword appeared now to replace its solid metal form into one composed completely of cloudy mist. The only solid thing was a sapphire-like crystal attached by misty string. It abruptly pointed down the street into a crowded area. Something like a shopping district.

Meimei smiled and pointed, "That way."

[sourzkeco]

"Are you sure? I thought that this was the building they were in. O well, I don't know anything so I guess I better follow you."
He started to munch on some cookies.
"So, do you also know how far?"

[Kageshinobi]

She started walking towards the area her sword chose after picking it up. "Well, the sword points to say the Vice Captain is towards that direction. And I should be correct since I've met her once by chance and got to gauge her reiatsu. Though she must be near since the crystal points so reassuringly quick there, if she was elsewhere, it would be slower to pinpoint. And if she was on another plane or dimension, then I wouldn't be able to find her then. Not from here, anyway. So, I'm rather sure."

Meimei took the lead with dainty steps. "I've been hearing of weird events lately. Perchance could this be some kind of foreshadowing plot?"

[sourzkeco]

"La la la la la la la ~~"
Starting to sing and skip happily.
"Did you say something?"
Completely ignoring everything and skipping foward.
"So can you also fight? Or are you simply someone who likes to find things? ALSO, are you sure you don't want any candy for the walk? They are nice and yummy and sweet and stuff."

[Kageshinobi]

She sighed and tried to ignore his spacey nature (politely speaking on her half). There were much more rude things to say. Nevertheless, it was composure for the moment as they advanced into a more busier area. "I can fight."

Meimei gave her attention elsewhere as she placed a hand above her brow. The sword quivered a bit. "If it helps any, we're getting closer." She paused and looked around as the stream of people shopping out here became busier with more noises. "Huh."

[sourzkeco]

"OOOOOO I see, you really wanted to go shopping right? Is that it? However, I don't think they can see you exactly. Except for the people with the high thingymajiggy. You like shopping don't you. I WANT TO GO SEE THE CANDY."
He starts talking to himself about the diffent kinds of candy he may see and starts to walk faster into the shopping area.
On the other hand, what he was thinking about what how different the situation seemed from what it should be. Again never showing what he is actually thinking about on the outside.

[Kageshinobi]

"No, I was regarding how much Japan has chan-- EH?" She dropped off as she saw him speeding much quicker into the area than his pace before. It involved something with candy?

Something told her then that this mission would be much longer than she expected. That hot bath had to wait now. By the time she looked up from her despair he was disappearing up ahead. "Eh, eh, wait up!" And she ran after him, giving the other shinigami a rather helpless look. Is he always like this?

[sourzkeco]

He started to skip along looking at the differnt kinds of candy and food placed out as the venders tried to sell them.
"O O O O, This one looks cool, THAT ONE DOES To. OH MY GOSH, I think I died and went to heaven. Then again... ANYWAYS, I must find more."
Suddenly switching directions and moving through the crowd, he started to run and looking at the of the different things for sale and suddenly stopped and he started to just stare and a piece of sugary goodness.
"Aww, I really want it. Where can I get a gigai to buy this stuff."
He turned around looking for the other shinigami.
"Ore?"

[Kageshinobi]

"Must I remind you..." Meimei started in a bit of a breathless, whiny way, as she ran after him, "... that we are on a mission?"

She caught her breath, eyeing down at the sword in hand; it pointed even straighter towards another building area which was rather spaceous. With a gesture at the candy-obsessed shinigami, she pointed him in that direction. "They're somewhere in there...."

[sourzkeco]

"O O O, So can you get her back then? I want to look at more candy. Candy is good."
He continues to walk around aimlessly.
"Your strong aren't you? So you can beat up anything right?"
Then he started to wonder if she was one of those people that would wack him silly and drag him by the collar.

[Kageshinobi]

She did not whack him, though she did, in a quick hand, grabbed him forcibly around the collar and dragged him in the direction to go. "Sempai..." Meimei growled lowly, "...AFTER the mission."

The female shinigami broke into a dash. "If you look out for her quicker and finish this job, you can look at all the candy you want. But first, the mission." They broke into that space with just as busy air about. There were several benches around and small trees for shade. Where to first.

[sourzkeco]

Being dragged along floor banging his head, he eventually went unconcious.
"C..a..n...d...y......" Half asleep and dreaming.

[Kageshinobi]

She dropped him as he refused to walk therefore was partially dragged and THOUGHT that gave him an excuse to bump his head and go unconscious. Her lips curled a bit in disgust as she shrugged. Meimei looked once to the other shinigami nearby to see if his reaction was the same. Now the shinigami only wondered if this vice captain would be of any help or just a fat hinderance.

Another sigh as she bowed her head. What to do? Maybe leave him for Hollow bait... was one contemplated in her head.

[sourzkeco]

He continued to sleep without any worries while he pretended to munch on some candy.
"mm.mm.....candy.... me want..."
He started to toss and turn a bit as he slept.
"I WANT CANDY. GIMMEE"
Half sleep talking, half awake, half sleep moving. His arms waved around as if he was trying to grab something.

[xTsukiNeko]

“Suki!” a voice from a rather short boy had stated through the ongoing crowd of people passing by. The girl whose name was called immediately turned her head towards the source. Her calm amber eyes blinked confusedly as she became surprised at the sudden confrontation by her captain. “C-Captain… C-Captain Hotaru! I…” she was speechless at this unexpected rendezvous. A pair of golden eyes formed a stern glare at the missing vice-captain. It was not to frighten the young girl, yet at these uncertain times, Hotaru was forced to take actions upon him. The aura of anger disappeared from the boy, and his expression turned into worry. “I was… worried about you, Suki-chan,” he softly murmured. Her guard completely dropped as well as the surprise that was present, and she let escaped a smile as she went to hug him. “Sorry…” she whispered into his ear while she embraced him warmly.

His eyes were opened in half slits, looking aimlessly into the distance. He pulled back slowly and regained his composure knowing he had a duty to uphold. “We must go now. They’re looking for you. And for you as well… Kuji, as I’ve heard? You’re to come with us,” he stated and quickly grabbed a hold of Suki’s wrist. The girl was shocked, being half-dragged by her captain, not knowing half of the situation. Instinctively, she had grabbed Kuji’s hand since it was also her captain’s wishes. Things were unfolding, and the young captain wasn’t happy about it. Surely… Tsurai-niisan will be furious of my actions, but I could not let some bumbling buffoon handle something so precious. My vice-captain… And this new found power.

As he dragged the two with him, his senses had led him straight into the search team that was organized earlier. His eyes bulged a bit, seeing Meimei, a shinigami from Tsurai’s division. At that moment, his heart nearly stopped knowing that Tsurai will know of what he’s done. He stepped forward to the shinigami and greeted her with some respect, “Meimei.” The vice-captain stared at him, and understood his troubled mind. She remained silent and bowed as a greeting to her. “I am Kanashii, Suki. Vice-Captain from the Tenth Division,” she stated, “I have been here on a search and return mission and found some serious troubles that have begun. Such as… this boy who’s shown immense power that has been locked up.” Hotaru merely closed his eyes, listening to her explanation also with a bit of guilt in his heart. She was smiling… But it’s our responsibility, and it can’t be helped, Suki. Sorry… He interrupted the conversation, “There is no need of an explanation at this moment. We shall return immediately now that the mission is complete. We have no dealing with this person at the moment…” A sharp inhale was heard, and he understood. “As the captain, we shall return with this boy for investigation. Any one or thing that needs to be erased will be taken care of from the other department. That is all…”
