Where are we going? {Somewhere in Japan}

It's been hours since they left the Quincy Village, yet, it felt like this carriage was sending them no where. "Takasu Ryuuto... Am i correct, that's your name right?" for the first time the entire ride, he spoke. "What do you think of me?" he knew that look in Ryuu's eyes, it was not the forgiving kind, its filled with hate.. sorrow, despair. "Rather... what do you want to know?"

The captain and commander read him like a book, he always wore a look in his face, something no one can see through, but this man in-front of him is after all the captain and commander, he knows that much. "Did you send us... to rid of me?", with a serious tone he spoke. "If so, you failed, cause im here, so... kill me." Ryuu lowered his head and handed his zanpakuto. "I have an idea on why you want me dead, but there's no reason for you to kill my team. So tell me, before you kill me, are you the phantom?"

The rain was still pouring, but where they were heading was a place of darkness, at the end of the road a long dark tunnel stretches to wherever it leads. "I sent you, cause you saw the book." in a calm voice Hanzo explained. "But not for the reasons you think, son." leaning close, he explains further. "It chose you, therefore you were able to relive everything written in the book, so only you can find it now." Hanzo explains something about a book.

"What does some book have anything to do with me?" Confused Ryuu still had his head lowered, it seemed like Hanzo was not gonna kill him after all. But what was this story about books have got to do with everything. "Im not sure i understand what you're talking about, but that book disappeared, i thought i was imagining things."

"You weren't imagining things, it was stolen." Hanzo leaned his back to the seat rest. "You should know where it is, cause you read the book, rather.. relived it when you opened it." Hanzo sighed do to the trouble this kid caused. "Remind me to punish you after you get it back, it was all your idea to investigate my where abouts for the last 5 years, the question remains though, are you sure you wanna know?"

Ryuu gulped thick saliva built up from his throat, this Captain and commander surely threw him an indirect threat, it was scary how he could easily make him disappear, he was prepared to face death, but Hanzo makes him fear it somehow. He didn't want to know after all, but how did Hanzo know all this. "I... I do" thick sweat dropped from his forehead, he had no control over his senses, he froze, he was there, but he wasnt, it felt as though he was in a black hole, he had no control over anything, he was powerless.

Hanzo gave Ryuu a sly smile, false and deceitful, with just a taste of his spiritual pressure, this kid was already this powerless. Hanzo sighed, lowering his reiatsu as to not to cause panic for the horse bringing them to there next location. "You have a long way to go, i cant just let you face that person if your just on that level. "

Suffocating from just Hanzo's spiritual presence, Ryuu felt powerless, he was only able to breath again after Hanzo lowered it. He coughed and wasnt able to normally interact with him after a few minutes, it was then that he realized that the tunnel seemed to be endless. "Where are we going?" he asked.

"To where i was..." Hanzo replied quick and simple, was he really gonna take Ryuu to where he was held for 5 years? If so for what reason, and what does this mean for Ryuu? "You wanted to know this bad, i should just show you, then we'll see if your worth my time."

Ryuu sat back, closing his eyes, it seemed like he had no choice in the situation, its death or worst death, but which was worst. Death by Hanzo, or what ever's waiting for him in that place? The tunnel looked more a garganta, he remembers seeing illustrations of what it looks like inside, how did Hanzo open a garganta, if he's a shinigami, is he still the captain and commander, or something else completely?
