As the Feudal Era Japanese Gate opened up against one of the many walls of the Seireitei the light would lighten all around it in a sort distance as one small foot stepped out. This of course was Amy O'Fee returning from her tour of the World of the Living and her encounter with a very appealing human. As soon as the portal closed behind her she would look around it was night time but she had been dropped off where she wanted to be.
The place, The Great Library, the center of data of the entire universe. Hopefully it had at least one book or record about human beings with strange powers beyond the capabilities of a regular human. Her steps across the way were hasty yet light for she didn't want to wake anyone in a slumber. Once in the library it self she would see maybe a handful of Shinigami there. Some studying fighting styles, other kido.
Amy would stride up to the head librarian's counter to see an older woman who looked like she had not had rested in weeks. "Excuse me Madam I was wondering if you could point me in the direction of books about hu-" A finger trembling like wild would leap up in the direction causing Amy to jump in surprise. The librarian seemed really high strung.
After Amy moseyed her way over to the section she found only one book about that looked like it matched her case. The book was called "Extraordinary Feats by Humans" by Inchimade, Xyous. Amy would carry the rather bulky and unwieldy book to a small table that just was able to hold the book. Amy would flip to the first page and start reading.
After an hour or so had passed she was starting to get tired and bored but she splashed her self with cold water to stay awake. "Chapter five: The Golden Shi... Shie...Shiel-" Amy would collapse against the book and fall a sleep. Little did she know she wasn't going to have a dream but was on a trip into the world of her blade?
The inner world:
Amy would wake up on a plot of freshly put patch of dirt. As she jumped up from the patch she would sweep her shoulders to clean her robes then looked at the tombstone of the patch she was laying on. It was... her name... Amy O'Fee. As she would start to walk backwards scared of the tombstone yet she couldn't set her eyes off of it. "Amy, do not be afraid of the tomb stone, you must face your fears to release me. Amy would turn around to see an even more shock of an empty moving suit of armor with a deep toned voice. "W-who are you?!?!" "I am your blade, your partner in battle, I am _ _ _" Amy could not hear the name of her so called blade as a bright light started to escape from the suit of armor. "WHAT I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" The light would be blinding now as the dream would end with the blade saying "My name is _ _ _

Kokaku loved book when he was still a human like a decade ago. Now, even though he didn't remember one bit of his past life, he still loved book. For shinigami, there's one place to find books for free - Rukongai! *Beep* Wrong answer. The Great Awesome Almighty Library! *Beep* Partially correct. The Great Library! Correct answer.
He was there for three hours already, reading a book with the name, "The Great Book of Kido". However, he didn't really learn much since he wasn't really concentrating.
"It's not the hours you put in your work that counts, it's the work you put in the hours."-- Sam Ewing
Gah! I give up! He closed the big hardcover book and pushed his chair backward. Now, he decided to leave the library. All that was left to do was to put the book to its proper bookshelf. Along the way, he saw two shinigamis, probably academy students, playing chase around the library. The library was huge, so the librarians couldn't look through every corner for troublemaker.
"Hey excuse me!" Kokaku yelled at the troublemakers, ignoring the definite rule of the library as he sees fit. One of the idiots was still running and worst, he was looking at Kokaku while running forward until, "Watch your front!" he tipped at the sleeping girl. To word it better, he rammed at the sleeping girl. The girl dropped down with her chair.
Kokaku rushed ahead to check on the girl, he kneeled down to one knee, "Miss, you alright?" He heard the voice of librarians behind him, probably going for the troublemakers.

As she tried to hear the suit of armor call his name to hear the roaring of the growing light overwhelmed it. Amy would try to pace closer to listen to him but felt a hard blow to her side as she flew across the cemetery which transitioned to the library. Amy wouldn't open her eyes as she grabbed her side and reflected to herself; I should just stay like this, maybe I will go back into that world.
Sadly, Amy would never be able to go back to sleep with the pain in her side as she let out a slight groan to relieve it. A man’s voice would be heard from over her asking about her welfare. Amy opened her eyes although it didn't do any good as they weren't use to the light yet. All she saw was a fuzzy shape of pale white and sliver looking down at her. "Ummm... I think I am ok. I most have fallen a sleep while reading that book over there. She would point to the rather hefty book still on the small table.
Amy would sit up and smile at the outline even though her vision wasn't great yet and put out her hand. "Thank you for being so kind and helpful, I am Amy O'Fee of the First Division. With any luck once she got her vision back one-hundred percent he would be as attractive as the blur.

"Out!" The librarian today was surely a rude guy, his over-manly voice could be heard on any corner of the library. Being in such a close distance with the librarian behind him, Kokaku could feel his eardrum shocking by the volume. Then, the childish troublemakers and the harsh librarian left, confirmed by the sounds of three footsteps at a time behind him.
Well, those behind him didn't matter , the girl in front of him did. Apparently, this girl was more on the calm style. If she was the hot-headed type, she would have assume Kokaku as the one that made her goes down from the chair in any way possible and would directly give Kokaku a punch or something. This girl didn't. Instead, she introduced herself.
At this point, there's 2 possibilities: One, she was a hot-headed girl but was too tired for a whacking session. Two, she was really, on the calm side. One thing Kokaku was sure, the girl was fatigued. She couldn't even point correctly on the book's direction, her finger was few inches away to the right and her eyes was real small at this moment.
Kokaku saw the girl put out her hand and so he grabbed it softly and gave the girl a pull, "The name's Kokaku Nishimura, unseated member of the 8th division." He was thrilled, it was the first time he met such a young member of the 1st division. He always thought that 1st division consists of 95% of elder and 5% of 30 and up. Now the one in front of him was 20 and down.
As he pulled the girl up, he turned his head and took a quick glance at the book's title, "Extraordinary Feats by Humans". Interesting thought Kokaku. "So, what makes you want to read that book?" Kokaku asked with low volume.

Kokaku Nishimura, unseated member of the 8th division... The Eighth Division, what did they do again? That is correct they are in charge of internal affairs and known to be well balanced people in broad but labels meant nothing to Amy for she was one who had to experience things for herself. As Kokaku pulled her up she would grin at him as her vision was back now, he was as cute as she had hoped.
"Well thank you for the help Nishimura-san. Also don't worry about me going after them; revenge is best saved for the battle field." She would look over his shoulder to see if the boys were still in her kido's reach so she could strike. Sadly, they were somewhere else being chased by a librarian most likely. Amy then noticed that he must have taken a glimpse at the title of the book that she was reading. Great, now her secret investigate mission was out in the open.
Then again there are most likely other humans with exceptional power in the world and she was just surprised because she got to meet one. She would giggle and try to be truthful yet keep things on the surface. "Well to be honest I was on a tour of duty for the First Division on Earth. Being the youngest associate and all they told me to go he he. Anyways while I was there a human noticed me and even more he broke Bakudô No. 4: Hainawa. Even more fascinating was that it left a mark on him. So I thought, it might be something worth looking into."
Way to keep it on the down low, Amy would think to herself. Well at least she hadn't given out the poor kid’s name, which is the last thing she wanted for him... to be in a test tube somewhere. So what are you doing here? Don't get me wrong I am grateful someone is as nice as you to come up and check on me but I am curious." Amy would say thinks kind of fast and nervously as she was trying to change the subject.

This girl was funny to say the least. She said like she wouldn't care about the kids and on the other hand, her head sided out of Kokaku's broad body to check on the boys. Guess she wanted revenge deep inside herself.
As expected, she was the youngest of 1st division. Of course, this was all by her saying. After seeing a young member of 1st division, Kokaku started to believe that there are supposed to be more young members in 1st division. That division isn't 'the home of elderly', just that it needed experienced shinigamis to be able to handle such an important task of their own. It was the general division among all thirteen divisions. Come to think of it, this girl might be a shinigami for a long time, just that she died very young and now she still looked young.
"Interesting, a human that could break a no.4 bakudo? I personally, met one human myself pairing up with me in a fight against hollow in Karakura Town. It was the first time I see a human that could beat a hollow up round and good with bare fists. Sadly, the hollow escaped. I guess there's more exceptionally powerful humans in Earth than we thought." Kokaku replied as images of the afternoon fight happened just days ago flashed on his mind.
It was a clever switch of subject by the girl and Kokaku didn't even spot the girl's intention to change the topic. Not like he knew that much, especially about girls, which 99% of male population in Earth claims they don't know how a girl thinks. After giving a gentle lift to the nearby chair(opposite of the girl's chair) up and away from the table, Kokaku took a sit. He was sitting side-way as the girl was speaking so he wouldn't look manner-less.
"My reason to be inside this library isn't as brilliant as yours. Mine is just one of the most simplest reason exists: to improve my Kido. Er...should say 'to learn new and higher ranked kido'. However, I can't concentrate for a reason that I can't explain of so I think I am just wasting time here." Kokaku said with a bitter smile. "Judging by you locking someone with a number 4 bakudo, I believe you are a frequent kido user as well?"

Guess Amy was right, the man had mentioned a human who got in the ring with a hollow and fought it out. She then wondered if a correlation had happened. She would need to get the information she needed coolly not giving anything up first. "Yes a human who can break kido is as a dominant one, one how can dual with a hollow most likely. If you don't mind me asking, did you get the name of this human being? Also I would presume you are right, there are, as my book says, many human's that have done astonishing feats."
The man of the Eighth Division would take to her change of topic swiftly as he grabbed the chair she had fallen off of and sat on it side ways. Amy would hold up her one fingerer to stop him from answering her questions. She would grab a chair from a table opposite of the one she was at and copied him in the manner he sat.
A book on kido was an admiral cause to be in a library. Not for information but for power. Not power for greed most likely but power for the skill to become a stronger combatant or defend friends and allies on the battle field.
I have spent a good quantity of time studying kido but evenly to the art of the sword. Let’s just say because of it my velocity and hand to hand skills pale in contrast. Sorry, I am going off topic... About your focusing dilemma, I think I have an idea. Instead of studying here I would assume you would be more focused back at your quarters or somewhere that you find sanctum.

Now, they were really getting the chat going. Despite the library being a forbidden place to chit-chat, the librarian usually wouldn't give a damn unless the speakers were over-volume. In the case of Kokaku and Amy, they were safe especially there's no one around them as of now so they were not disturbing anyone.
Now that the girl asked for the name of the guy, Kokaku started to think, "His name is Itamiku something if I am not wrong. Er...Itamiku...Itamiku," Kokaku's head went up as he was thinking for the surname of the human, the names of everyone in his memory was loaded from his brain, "Itamiku...gah! Nevermind, how about we go for appearance? He's probably not Japanese, almost as tall as me, brown hair." That's all he could remember.
As the girl sat down, Kokaku turned his body over so he could sit face-to-face with the girl, he rested his hands on the table. "Thanks for your advice. Well, I think I am just not in the mood today, I always do fine studying inside the library. Sometime, the 8th division area was too noisy for me and I dislike it. Well, my close range combat skill is probably not as good as yours. I am more to the speed and kido despite my supposed-to-be warrior physique," Kokaku looked around his body and returned to the girl with a smile. Maybe I can learn some kido from you when on some other time, that might be more effective than learning from books."
"Anyway, judging by the name and your look, you aren't a Japanese I believe? If so, where are you from?" Most of the shinigamis lost all their human life memory but they could probably still remember where were they from after checking on their name.

Kyousha, Itamiku...." Amy's eyes would broaden at the name being recalled to memory. Her voice would become more severe " Yes that is the human I met on my tour of duty! What happened to him? Did he... Have any abilities? Because at the time I encountered him he was only some what different from the norm."
Kokaku would turn to face Amy and tell here about his abilities which were a shock to her. The reason why is just by looking at his bodily make up you could tell he was fit, but maybe that was because of his speed training. With a prince charming grin he would ask her to train with him some day. Amy would giggle and flush. "I would like that... Err I mean, yes learning kido from someone else would be more resourceful and less time consuming then reading. Physical training is always superior then that of only psychological."
He was one of the first people to ever mention her name; everyone else just took it as a distinction not really caring. Then again what was there to notice; it just wasn't Japanese like the regular Shinigami? " Yes it is quiet noticeable that I am not of Japanese inheritance. I believe I am from America but my ancestry traces back to England and Ireland. But as you must know after you die your memory is a tad fuzzy.

"Ability of mister Itamiku? Hmm, his palm is glowing for the entire time of the fight, probably some reiatsu boost or whatever that can boost the damage and power he could do with his right fist. Well, I saw him sent a hollow flying meters away with a straight punch so I guess that's the power of him. Oh, he can suddenly boost his speed tenfold in a sprint, I almost lose track of him when he is sprinting that fast. That's all I can get from him for now I guess. Why are you so interested in him anyway?" Kokaku raised his left eyebrow as he looks at the girl, "Since you are not from the 12th division, that cut the human experiment option away. Hmm..." Kokaku measuring the girl with his left thumb and index finger going together and separate along the jaw. "Or...he's your type?" Kokaku gave out a light chuckle. That was more of a joke than a serious question.
Kokaku was happy that she accepted his request to learn kido together. Well, more like Kokaku is learning kido from her anyway. "Great! I do agree that practical training with someone else is much better than learning alone or by books."
The longer time they stayed there, the more they know about each other. Now, Kokaku met his first non-Japanese heritage shinigami. He knew there's many out there but strangely he didn't know any of them until now. "Yeah, the memory isn't kept in your brain when you died as a human. So, England and Ireland, wow, not where I expect you from but not like I know that much anyway."
"Just wonder...what sort of kido do you know? Gotta know a little bit about my going-to-learn kido." Being a kido freak, Kokaku quickly dragged the topic back to kido-related.

Fascinating, the thought of the boost of his reiastu to the point were he could send it outside his body in an offensive manner in that short amount of time was astonishing. This caused her to repeat her steps in the world of the living thinking about ever step she made during her time with the human. Then she remembered that she hit him with her kido. Amy did study that during times of hazard or connections with spiritual beings a human who has latent powers can awaken them. If this was the cause Amy felt sort of accomplished.
Interesting I didn't know humans had that kind of ability in them... And my curiosity in him is mine thank you very much. Maybe I want to learn about other ways of warfare, every think of that? Also to answer your question, he is human, I am dead… There is no connection emotionally on that level. If anything I would be looking for a Shinigami...."
Amy would start to smile then shake her head getting the daydream look off her face. She was happy that Kokaku agreed with her values. It showed that he had a warrior in him and that the code or way of the warrior was true in him like her. "So I assume you are Japanese? If not them pardon my lack of knowledge." She would giggle just by evaluating she could tell he liked, possible loved the demonic arts. "I have the knowledge and skill of Hado 4, 27 and 33. Then the Bakudo 4, 8 and 31. It isn't much but then again I haven't been a Shinigami for that long.

By just looking at the girl, Kokaku knew she was thinking deep inside herself. He didn't break the mind-lurking session of the girl, since it would be rude to interrupt a thinker in such moment. He replied as the girl spoke, "Well, there's more human with special abilities that we will never know. At least I believe so. This world is just too big and there's so many things remain undiscovered by us." He didn't comment on her latter part because it was out of his business and he would sound like a pervert or maybe an asshole if he asks that much about such privacy.
Then, he answered the next question. "I believe so, though I am not so sure, but my name is certainly Japanese. Hado 4, I know one of them...seeing that the same number can contain so many different demon art, I am not sure if you are referring to "White Lightning" or not with your Hado no.4 but that's the one I know...and mastered. Other than that, I am actually jealous of your knowledge to have such number of kido." Exactly as he thought so, this girl was probably better than him in kido.
"My knowledge on bakudo is just far from enough, I only learn some on the range of 1 to 9 and my execution on those isn't good enough. On hado, I am still the loser I guess, I don't have knowledge on such high level one except I know of one hado with number 31. Other than that, I am pretty much a newbie." He still has a long way to go when it comes to kido, he wanted to learn many, as many as he could, he wished to devoted into the art of kido. His passion of kido was like a 5th division member despite he was on 8th.
"Oh yeah, seeing that you are probably more capable than me. Do you know of your zanpakutou's name? Or maybe you unlocked its first form already? I am basically, out of idea, on how to communicate with my zanpakutou. Me and him," Kokaku took a stare on the right side of his waist, at the red hilt of his black blade, "are like complete stranger until now." If he could know how to communicate with his zanpakutou, the information would help him a lot in future.

There's more human with extraordinary abilities that we will never know about. What true words they were and even more then what he meant. The world, o how she wanted to discover it like members of Division Seven got to. Sadly she was not first-class as a scout more as a well thought-out person. "Well at least we have a very long time to try. It would be nice to discover something new, wouldn't it?"
Stupid, how could she just assume it. Then again assuming makes an ass out of you and me. She would nod at his conclusion about Hado number four. "Yes White Lightning is the one I am referring to. Also please don't be envious, that is how treachery starts in groups of armed forces. If one is jealous of another then he wants to either gain what the other has or take him out so they can take their spot...."
She would then smile with a quick sigh as she heard him explain his kido knowledge. Amy placed her hand on his shoulder. "Listen I think you are progressing just fine. With me I plan it out very tactically. I pick out something that I can do, fits well with the others I have mastered. Then finally if it’s over all usefulness is worth it. So don't think you are a newbie, just going in a more 'formal' order. Honestly I think you were accepted into the wrong division... No offensive, it is just that the Fifth Division seems mores suitable for you, as it is in charge of the kido corps."
As he asked his next question Amy would look down at her zanpakutou and her eyes would widen. It was odd he asked about her blade as she had just had her first encounter with its will inside.
"Very odd... You know when I was napping here just a few minutes ago? Well I guess I wasn't really sleeping but I was having a link with him. I entered this cemetery to find it vacant. Then out of a blast of air a suit of armor appeared and started talking to me. It called out his name but I couldn't hear it. I guess that just means I am not ready yet and I accept that. So to answer your question, no I don't know his name yet. Also, don't try so hard to converse with him, he is the only person you can trust in battle 100%. It will just happen naturally when it is time."

Learning new things everyday is such a wonderful and enjoyable progress. There's so much to learn in this world that even a shinigami that lives for more than a decade still able to learn new things everyday. "Yeah, I love learning new things as well. After all, it's better to know more than knowing nothing. And we, as shinigami, has the lifespan of a tree(which some lasted for thousands years), or maybe more than that if we are able to survive every war till then." After all, most of the shinigamis die in battle.
"Sometime, jealousy motivate me to train harder. Although sometime, wanting to learn something fast and it will cost you more time to learn, it's still part of my motivation I guess, Kokaku laughed at the "take him out" idea, he laughed real hard but quickly slowed his voice down to prevent a librarian to come and demand him to get out, "Well, I never thought of taking everyone out. I prefer them to teach me and I don't think I have such lust on power and position."
"5th Division? Maybe. You are not the first one to say that anyway. However, I don't mind being in the 8th division, it's cool to deal with the inside problem of Seireitei, I know more things about Seireitei than members from other division. And I don't think they'd put all kido lover to 5th division, that would weaken the other division power in long-range, my personal opinion. Not like I am a officer or a commander here. 5th Division, well, maybe I can learn more kido from members from that division in future."
So even Any didn't know about her zanpakutou, guess he has a long time to go. "Cool, so that's your inner world? I read it from a zanpakutou book like...I don't know how long ago. I don't even have a chance to interact with my blade. Guess I will just be strong for now and get-" Before Kokaku could finish, a Hell Butterfly landed on his shoulder and the next second, Kokaku's eyes are filled with hate. "Darn, there's 14th seat officer calling me again. Guess we will talk again later." Kokaku said as he lifted himself up from the chair unwillingly.
"Bye for now, Amy." He said as he walked away from the table and the girl.
[Don't wanna delay more of your time cuz I might not be available until Monday. Nice RPing with you.]
[Exit]
