The Search for Haji {Musha-Moshi, Ruru and bystanders}

Coming from not to far, the portal they entered sent them places, from one country to the next, Ruru felt sure that she felt Haji the closest in Ireland, she wondered why he would live in such a place, something of a mystery for her.

Turning to both Moshiro and Mushasune she spoke.

"He's somewhere around this area, lets try look around, Moshiro and Musha Taichou, both of you can try by the town center, I'll try to ask around the park area about.. certain things, Haji likes sticking with traditions, they might know something."

With just a few words of briefing, she vanished with a human like shunpo, not to quick, but really fast for humans.

Mushasune looked at her and nodded, she wondered about this man, who was he, what past did he have with soul society. obviously he was of the utmost importance because he knew a way to enter heaven without those tickets, but she new somewhere deep inside that there was alot more to him than just that. "alright moshiro, she does know more about this land than we do, or me at least; we should listen to her advice on her plan to find her husband." she said as she headed off with haste to the town center. she sped across the streets looking for any hint of spiritual pressure. knowing that moshiro would be close behind, or possibly ahead of her she said , "whom is this man anyhow? what is his connection to soul society?" she asked.

Following the Musha's lead, she replied. "Hajime Taichou, was once the 7th Division Taichou, he is very well known in Soul Society, and was also branded traitor once, although i don't personally know him, i highly regard his status in society."

The town center was not far out from where they arrived at, stopping at the side walk, she looked around. "Do you feel anything, taichou?" she asked.

she was concentrating on the power levels, however she was listening to moshiro as well. she sighed as she looked more deeply into the spiritual pressure around her, and, much to her surprise, she did sence something. it was not her speciality to sence pressure, but she did this time. "i do, over in that direction." she isad looking to her left." she headed in that direction, hoping that she would be able to pin point an exact location soon.

Following the 10th Division captains, it felt as though that she really found something, hopefully, it's not another enemy, but the missing captain Hajime Yukimura. "Right behind you." Moshiro replied as she followed in haste.

*sipping from his his espresso and casually penning in the numbers to his sudoku puzzle, Kousei slightly pushed back his glasses as he looked around the beautiful sites around him.

he loved this town, and was deeply glad he had decided to move here from Japan; even if his business was more of a hobby for collectors rather than a profitable enterprise.*

From left to right Ruru searched the busy streets of town, she came across several people who scolded her for not being in school, but this land was far to foreign for her, never did she get sent to a place like this, not once, never before, all for the hope of finding a man she hid from for many many years.


Searching, she found something, a figure that's painted on her mind, it was him, she was certain, so she walked up to him, and stared just as close as a feet. "You... were looking for you." It was weird seeing him again, she never got to talk to him so close when they visited Hell, she wanted to stay away just as much, but the heart wants what it wants. "Do you... know me?" she wondered if he realized who she was, even in her current form, she had no proof of who she is, nor does she have the ability to show it either, her true powers were sealed by the king, and only the king can give it back.

Only he didnt.

*as he was just about to right "9" on his page, a young girl stepped in front of him and stood very close.

Kousei slowly lowered his book and his coffee, as the young girl spoke to him. She claimed to be looking for him.

Raising his glance to her, the first words from his mouth were*

"Young lady; shouldn't you be in school right now?"

Mushasune headed towards the spot, soon spotting ruru in the same spot in which the energy she senced was at she only gave a crooked smile as she found a man whom she was talking to, thinking it was the source of energy she had tracked. she appeared on a nearby building, hiding her own spiritual pressure so that it would not frighten the man. she wanted this talk between them to be private, no need to intrude yet. she waited for Moshiro to appear by her side, but just in case, mishasune held her zan with a grip like none other. she could never be too safe anymore.

Moshiro stood close, not surprised to see her master find Haji first, it was already given that she would find him first, only, was she ready for this encounter, after being rumored dead for so long.


Ruru sighed, he only just saw her as a teenage girl, Asian, nothing close to what she was, but she smiles. "Im looking for a certain book, a book about 3 friends. It's a trilogy actually, a very nice fiction.".

Doing much preparation by asking around, she partially knew that he was a known book keeper around the area, someone who would have such rare collections.

"It's a rare book, it would be nice if i could borrow it though." She could only wish to communicate with him like this, a secret book which only a few people knew about.

By few meaning, Haji, his wife and Alfred Alstein.

*Looking at the young girl a bit strangely, Kousei replied*

"A book of three friends, and a trilogy no less. Well I suppose if we are going to find this book for you, we should head back to my shop and see if I have it."

*standing up he placed his newspaper beside his empty cup and dropped a few coins to cover it. Pulling his coat over his shoulders, he stepped just past the young girl paying close attention to the details.

He motioned for her to follow him, and over his shoulder called*

"Let's not dally about now, hurry. And tell your friends they are welcome to come inside with us; it gets cold outside this time of year."

*he moved off down the street with her in tow, heading for his shop*

Chuckling a bit to her own surprise, she turned to both Moshiro and Mushasune who did there best to hide there spiritual presence, but it's not something that Haji could not sense.

"You both heard the man, lets go" She smiled at them and followed Haji.

Moshiro's frustration from being found like that was obvious in broad day light, but she followed silently non the less.

mushasune chuckled, guess she didn't try hard enough. well if this was the man they were looking for than he would have such a skill anyhow. she sighed and flicked her blonde hair and followed the group.
