OOC: Moved my training thread here to show you I'm actually training for my EXP >_
A few minutes after Hitomi and Tsai's departure from Sokyoku Hill. "What is this all about Shirotori-san?" Tsai stopped as they continued to walk in the direction towards the east gate of Seireitei. Kaiwan, the eastern gate watcher opened the gate from the outside as Hitomi sent a hell butterfly into the air over the large gate. As the gate opened Hitomi walked out followed by Tsai. "Shirotori-san?" Tsai asked again waiting for a reply. He wanted to spar again, he had no idea where Hitomi was bringing him nor was she giving him any ideas. The fact that the gate was opened for them was even surprising to Tsai. Wasn't Soul Society suppose to be in a state of emergency? No one was allowed to enter, and no one was allowed to leave unless Yamamoto-sotaicho and Central 46 gave the order. Then it hit Tsai like a speeding bullet, was he given permission to leave? But why? Why was he the one to leave Soul Society at this crucial point, why not the others, why him. He waited as he continued to walk away from the gate.
Hitomi stopped in her footsteps and turned around as Tsai also stopped. She looked up at the sky as the hell butterfly which she had dispatched earlier came back to her. She then uttered some incantations silently, all Tsai could see were lips moving as a portal appeared, the other side, the realm of mortals. What they called "Earth". Tsai stared at it then asked the same thing for the third time in a row. "Shirotori-san?"

There was finally an answer after all this time. She began to speak. "Tsai, you should already know that out of all the students in the academy, there are only three who have unlocked their shikai. Ran Hana, Megumi Aoibara and you, Tsai Hayashi. Of the three, two have already gone off for training if you don't already know". Tsai continued to listen as he stared at the portal which seemed to wave around like a pool of water. "And you saying that I also will be going to do training like Ran-san and...?" he paused, he did not know this Megumi Aoibara nor had they met. "Megumi Aoibara," Hitomi finished off his sentence. "Right, and Megumi Aoibara. So does this mean, I will also be going with them to train?" he asked. Hitomi shook her head. "I've discussed this with Yamamoto-sama and Nagi-sensei when we were walking here via Hell Butterfly, because of your clan's past actions, which I'm sure you don't know of but you will find out eventually. Yamamoto-sama has asked that you train seperately from Megumi and Ran in the Mortal World," she turned her body and directed her hand at the Senkaimon which she had opened with the Hell Butterfly a few moments before.
"So does this mean me and you will be training there?" Tsai asked, he was still slightly confused at her comment about Tsai's clan's past. "No, Tsai. I have a job for you, it will require that you train yourself so you can do it. I've heard about you being in the counsel of your own clan as the head trainer. This probably means that you know how to train effectively. The job at hand is for you to train yourself within a certain amount of time. As you do that, I want you to patrol Karakura Town, the destination you will be going to and collect as many Hollow Mask Fragments as you can. And if you can try to bring back a complete mask," she replied. Tsai didn't know what the fragments were for but he wouldn't ask. He knew that they were important somehow and his job was to obtain them but last time he faced a hollow, he had to be saved by Ugu-sensei who happened to be in the area. This time there was no back-up, there was no one. He couldn't be restless.

A single shinigami shunpoed over with a bag of stuff. Hitomi turned over to Tsai and then took the bag from the shinigami who then returned behind the gate. "Tsai, this will be a dangerous mission especially with The Four Heavenly Kings out there. But you are one of the bright graduates of the future, I'm sure you can pull through this, good luck," she nodded her head as she smacked Tsai on the back before handing him the bag. Tsai coughed a bit before he grabbed the large bag with one hand. The bag seemed to weight about 100-150kg, nothing to hard, he had done worst when training with Kaosu. Hitomi began to head back to the gate as she waved goodbye to Tsai as the gate began to close.
Tsai had one thing ahead for him now, to go to the Human World, train and collect Hollow Mask Fragments. "Of all the training, I'm probably the one with the oddest assignments," Tsai gave a final wave as the gate completely closed. Now, all who remained outside was Kaiwan, the eastern gate watcher and the Senkaimon which was beginning to become smaller. Tsai quickly entered through the gate to the Human World and off he went to the realm of Mortals with nothing but a big bag with nothing but a human sized jar meant for the hollow fragments. It was hard and rough. Not glass, nor was it plastic but some sort of material that looked like plastic but felt like glass and it didn't seem to shatter which would prove handy. Tsai exitted through the other side into the streets of Karakura Town.
"The training begins here.." Tsai stared up at the sky, it was nighttime here in the mortal world while it was daytime in Soul Society.

Tsai began to walk around, he had no idea what to do. This was his second time in the mortal world as a shinigami. He was standing right infront of an intersection. The cars began to whizz by him as the light turned green. This sure was a busy intersection, I mean this was a town afterall. Tsai began to dodge the cars like there was no tommorow. "What am I thinking I'm a shinigami!" he leaped into the air and landed on the sidewalk. There were a few people out during this time of day. They were usually going out to buy stuff to eat. Boxed dinners, fast food, all that stuff. Tsai began walking down the sidewalk eventually he stopped to check what stuff he had in his bag. As he opened it, he found nothing but a list of what he needed to do and a large jar. "Use this jar to contain the hollow mask fragments.." Tsai read off the paper which also had a face of Hitomi. There was also his list of things to do on the back of the paper. "Train...Collect Hollow Mask Fragments...Perform Soul Burials..." he continued to read the list. His training was basically to patrol Karakura Town, collect slain hollow loot, send souls to Soul Society and at the same time find time to train himself. This was indeed going to be some hell of a trip.
Tsai opened the jar and looked inside, it was hollow, nothing inside, just a large jar to collect hollow mask fragments with. Tsai sighed. He had alot of work ahead of him, and he needed to plan. Soul Society wasn't even kind enough to provide him with pen or paper. And there was no way he could communicate with the mortals of this world. He was a shinigami, a death god, which meant he could only speak to those whom are dead. He shook his head as he zipped up the jar in his bag and began to walk again. He decided to take the first day to get use to the town area, this way he could locate the hollow's much easier. He had no other way of locating the hollows but to patrol the town constantly. Which would be inconvient. Souls were also scattered throughout the town. It seems after the lockdown of Seireitei, the souls of the dead just wandered around the town. No one was going to Seireitei. This place would soon be a hollow all-you-can-eat buffet if Tsai did not get to work quickly.

Tsai began to write up a list in his head. "Alright, so first thing I should do is send some of these souls to Soul Society to reduce the hollow rate. But that will also become a problems later on when I need to collect Hollow Mask Fragments... So, I'll have to leave a few souls here to lure the hollows into this town so I can slay them. But right now there are way too many souls, if this many hollow came to this town, I couldn't take them on." Tsai muttered as he walked towards a corner looking at the floor and thinking. He was not watching where he was going and bumped into a spirit. She was a small girl, maybe at the age of 8 or 9. "Owie!" she cried out as she fell to the ground. Tsai came out of his thoughts and turned to look at the girl who he had bumped down. "Why you meanie!!" she jumped up and began to throw pounds at his stomach. Tsai of course felt nothing from the small blows from the girl. He waited until the girl stopped and then looked at her. She still had that angry look on her face. "Watch where your going next time, or I'll pound you big meanie!" she growled at Tsai before walking past him. The spirits around here were quite frisky.
Tsai continued to walk and observe the area as he began to map the area in his head carefully. He needed to learn the whole area of the town in one day if he was to make his time here most effective. For every live person Tsai saw in Karakura Town, he saw about two souls. A two soul to living ratio. That was how bad the spirit inhabitation of Karakura was after a couple of days without Shinigami management. What would if be like if it had been a month? This place would have become a hollow stronghold. Tsai continued to walk down the street and turning as he continued to map the town. It would probably take the rest of the day for him to map the whole place out in his head and memorize it. The place was quite large for even a town. It's population was about 10,000 meaning about 5,000-7,000 houses with around 4,000+ businesses.

He continued for the rest of the night just patrolling and getting use to the area. There was no hollow activity so far, at least from what Tsai could see or hear. He soon finished a single patrol all over town and had gotten use to his new surrounding. There were alot of spirits just wandering around the town, it was kind of creepy. They were just wandering and stalking those who were living. Tsai would soon have to begin performing alot of Soul Burials if he was to make sure that the hollow activity was not too high. He would first begin at a nearby junkyard near where he was standing. The area was a haven for spirits for some reason. The spirits there were mostly between the age of 12 - 16, teenagers. The shinigami began walking towards the junkyard, it took him a few minutes but he eventually made his way to the yard and saw the spirits. They were playing with the pots and pans that people had thrown out. Tsai had never performed a soul burial before. He began to think back to when he was a spirit. He was first approached by the shinigami and asked if they wanted to go to heaven, Tsai chuckled at how stupid he was before and then closed his eyes to try to remember what happened afterwards.
"After discussing about heaven with the Shinigami...she tapped my head with the pommel of her zampakuto...then I went to Soul Society.." Tsai muttered to himself as he remembered what happened. He nodded and then began to approach the bunch of spirit teenagers in the area. "Hey, how are you guys?" he asked nervously, this was his first time talking to spirits from the mortal world. "Hey, look at the funny looking guy!!" one of the kids shouted as the kids began to jump down from the junk pile with sticks, potlids and other various junkyard weaponry. The junkyard spirits were like a gang. Tsai backed away a bit nervously. "Get the meanie!!" a voice shouted out. It was the girl from before. Tsai knew he was in trouble now, he began to back away slowly before speeding away running. The kids followed with their various junkyard weapons chasing him down the street.

As Tsai continued to run he soon noticed a large amount of the teenage spirits suddenly disappearing behind from him. They weren't as many as before. Where had they gone off to? Suddenly, at the corner of Tsai's eyes he spotted a few of the teenagers on the stone gate running alongside Tsai. They were trying to corner him somehow. Tsai turned at the next corner only to run into another bunch. Now, he was totally surrounded. "Hey meanie!! This is for bumping into me!!" the girl shouted at him before the rest of the spirits jumped onto Tsai and started pounding him with their sticks and potlids. They were troublesome. Tsai couldn't strike back and he didn't want to appear as a mean shinigami and cause more trouble in Soul Society. He would have to take the beating until he could earn the respect from these kids. He continued to get pounded for about 5 minutes before the kids got tired and began to head back the the junkyard. Tsai wasn't hurt or anything, he had felt worst during the training sessions with the teachers and he did not take any visible damage. He brushed his gi and sighed as he began to headed to the next place on his list for soul burials. The neighbourhood park. There were a few kids at the ages of 6-9 hanging out there, lost souls of children. They would probably be easier to deal with than the junkyard spirit bunch.
Tsai began to head towards the neighbourhood park which wasn't far from where he was. He reached out for his bag. "Oh...s**t!" Tsai turned around to see that there was nothing in his bag. The jar was gone. Where had it gone? Had it rolled someone? Then it struck Tsai, the junkyard spirits took it. Tsai gave a sort of eerie smile as he pushed his glasses back into place as he grabbed his bag and flung it over his shoulders. He began walking, headed towards the junkyard.

Tsai soon reached the junkyard. The junkyard spirits were tossing around the jar like it was some sort of jar. Tsai quickly focused reiatsu into his feet and released it as he jumped forward grabbing the jar in mid-air before landing on a wooden fence. He turned around and stared at the teenager spirits who began to grab their junkyard weaponry again. "No more mister nice guy," Tsai flung the bag infront of him and placed the jar in it before flinging it back onto his shoulder and wore it like a backpack. The junkyard spirits piled up in a crowd below Tsai. "Give us back the jar, four-eyes!!" one of the boys shouted. Tsai was wearing glasses for once in his life. He wanted to stay alert the whole time while he was in the mortal world. Unlike in Soul Society, he had no backup he was alone this time and would have to rely on his own awareness. He shook his head as he jumped down from the fence onto the floor below him. The boy smacked a steel pipe against his own hand before charging forward to hit Tsai with it.
Tsai was fed up with the behaviour of these spirits. He needed to teach them a lesson before he sent them to Soul Society. As the first boy came towards him, he grabbed the steel pipe as he swung down and kicked the boy in the gut lightly (cause him to lose balance) then as the boy began to land forward, Tsai positioned his zampakuto's pommel right near the forehead of the boy as it connected. The boy began to glow as he disappeared. His destination: Soul Society. Tsai smiled as he watched the other kids who were shocked. "What did you do to Bunta-kun?" the same girl from before shouted at Tsai. "I've sent him to heaven," he lied as he turned to face the crowd. "Do you want to stay here forever and risk being eaten by monsters or do you wish to go to Heaven? From your behaviour earlier I think I'll just send you guys to hell. But I'm giving you guys a second chance what do you want?" Tsai asked.
The crowd of teenagers began to mumble to each other before they dropped their weapons and began walking towards Tsai. "We wish to go to Heaven sir. We've been waiting all this time, but for the past week no one wearing your uniform showed up," they replied. "I guess the last guy who patrolled Karakura Town used the same 'Heaven' excuse" Tsai smirked as he ordered the spirits to make a line. He was making some progress finally after all this time in the mortal world.

One by one, the junkyard spirits lined up as Tsai began to perform Soul Burials for each one of them. Promising them to heaven on the other side. It was partly true, depending on where they ended up. Different parts of Soul Society had their pros and cons. Tsai just hoped that he could finish up at least 40% of the spirits in Karakura Town before a hollow attacked the town. One hollow would already be enough trouble for Tsai, if three or four came, Tsai would have to rush each hollow recklessly and probably injure himself in the process. But this was training, one cannot obtain anything without pain. Tsai continued the soul burials until he came to the girl from before. "Thank you for coming to send us to Heaven, Mister Shinigami-san," the girl said delightfully. "So they know that I'm a shinigami?' Tsai smiled as he tapped her head with his zampakuto's pommel as she glowed bright blue and suddenly dispersed disappearing into Soul Society.
Tsai continued down the line until he was done the junkyard spirit's soul burials. They were the biggest group of spirits in all of Karakura Town, at least from what Tsai saw. He probably sent 5% of all the spirits in Karakura Town to Soul Society just now. But he still had another 85%. Tsai's plan was to keep 10% of the spirits as bait for the hollow so that he could complete his task for Soul Society. If there were no spirits, no hollows would attack. Tsai wiped the sweat from his forehead as he stretched out. He was already kind of tired after only a few hours of being in the mortal world and working for only a few minutes. "I guess becoming a full time shinigami must be tiresome, now I know why Ugu-sensei became a teacher's aide. It is probably easier serving someone like Nagi-sensei than to do this," he joked as he began to walk out from the junkyard.

He had no idea what he was going to do next, he was tired and wanted to rest. He was still not familiar with the places where he was safe. There was really no places which were safe in Karakura Town that could provide some sort of protection from hollows while he slept to regain energy. Tsai began to wander around the town although he had already done so once. It was still dark since it was still nighttime afterall. Tsai soon reached an abandoned warehouse at the edge of Karakura Town. The place was well sheltered and kind of spooky. There didn't seem to be any spirits nearby except Tsai. He couldn't sense any at least. Hollows would come but if they did Tsai would be ready. He entered the warehouse, it was full of chains. Probably for a meat packaging company. He quickly made his way to the center of the factory. If a hollow decided to attack Tsai right now, there were only three possible ways: through the front door, busting through the roof or coming out from the ground. And if they were to come that close Tsai would easily sense their reiatsu or at least hear the chains jiggle or the roof break. He had a nice place to rest for the time being until he could find another. This was currently his best option. He lay down in the center and closed his eyes as he began to fall into a sleep. He was still very conscious but he was sleeping. He could hear the outside world but he was getting his rest.
"Lei Gong you there?" Tsai asked out. He was already getting lonely. The only people he could actually talk to were the spirits in the area. There were no other shinigami in the area. His job was to kill hollows, perform Soul burials and lastly train. "I am here lad, what is it?" the old man replied. "Nothing, just wanted to talk," Tsai smiled in his conscious sleep. "Your getting soft on me boy," the old man chuckled. "But nonetheless what do you want to talk about?' Tsai actually wanted to train abit with Lei Gong but he didn't know how to ask. "Well, I actually wanted to train with you a bit in the zampakuto world. I really can't get time to train myself physically with so many shinigami tasks y'know?" Tsai continued. There was no reply from Lei Gong for awhile but Tsai continued to wait. "I am sorry Tsai, but for me to send you into the zampakuto world, you must be fully unconscious and doing that would mean you would be too exposed to a hollow attack, so I am sorry to say this but I will have to deny your request," Lei Gong replied and faded away. His presense was no longer noticeable like before. Tsai understood and continued to rest, another day was ahead of him tommorow. He would first have to lower the spirit rate by an additional 85% while guarding against hollows. And he would have to train himself. Quite a schedule to juggle....

Tsai woke up laying in the middle of a forest of chains, the warehouse. He got up as the chains around him jingled. There were trucks outside. Maybe this place wasn't an abandoned warehouse afterall? Tsai got up and began to walk to the front door. There were people outside driving past this place. Trucks and what not. There shipments: mostly meat and seafood. This place wasn't deserted afterall. Tsai yawned and stretched out. He had work to do after sleeping for about 5 hours. He was surprised that no hollows attacked the town while he was there. Or maybe it was just a coincidence. Whatever the case, Tsai began to head to one of the town's many parks, Karakura Central Park. Last time Tsai went there, there were a few spirits hanging around there. A smaller group than the junkyard bunch but nonetheless Tsai needed to get those spirits to Soul Society to lower the Karakura Town Spirit Rate. As began a slow-paced jog to the park. It would serve as a little warmup and would sped things up for the day.
On his way to the park, he noticed something weird, an eerie aura, something like that of a hollow's. What was it? "Hollow attack? Where?" Tsai began to turn in circles. The reiatsu was coming from almost every part of town. It wasn't a strong one but it covered a large area. "This reiatsu..it's definitely a hollow.." Tsai began to try to locate the hollow. He closed his eyes and began to concentrate. Streams of white ribbon flowed in the air as Tsai continued to concentrate. One of the ribbons was the reiatsu of the hollow's but which one? Tsai cornered the flow of one of the many ribbons and grabbed it. "It's time one, I'm dead certain it's this one," he began to run towards that reiatsu. Whether it was a hollow or not Tsai needed to investigate, this kind of reiatsu wasn't normal. "What could it be...it fits the description of a hollow's reiatsu but it's spread out..." Tsai began to ponder as he increased the pace in his run to the area(s) where the reiatsu was coming from.

He reached one of the areas where the reiatsu was last sensed at. There was no one there. He continued to run to the next and like the first, there was no one there not even a dead soul. He continued to run to the next location, this time he hit the jackpot. Infront of him was an intersection. It seemed that someone had been hit by a car. Tsai stared back the way he came from, there was a blood trail. It seems whoever hit the person continued to drive even though the person was hit. There were several police cars in the area and several people holding onto a man who seemed to struggle to free himself from the handcuffs he was in. "Let me go, let me go, I'm not done yet!!!" the man continued to shout as he was thrown into the backseat of one of the police cars. A murder had taken place and not just any murder. A murder of someone with high amounts of reiatsu. A spirit appeared next to the corpse which was covered up with a black cloth and layed on the floor. "That must be him..the person with the weird reiatsu.." Tsai watched as the boy tried to touch his own body with his hand. It went straight through. The boy began to cry in his kneeling position. He was confused and lost.
Why was he hit in the first place. And why did the driver continue to drive after hitting the kid. I mean the driver went about 5 blocks without stopping even with a dead corpse on his wind shield. It sent chills down Tsai's spine just thinking about it. "Serial Killers...go to hell if I remember correctly from a book.." Tsai began to think as he watched the boy cry. He waited for the corspe to get taken away before he approached. Tsai did not say anything but only walked over to the boy. "What's your name?" Tsai asked. "You can see me?" he replied. Tsai nodded. "You must be an angel..please take me to heaven, I don't want to be here anymore," the boy wiped his tears with his sleeve. Tsai wondered why and asked. The boy cried for a few more seconds before giving his reply. "That man is my father..after drinking alot he killed my mother and dumped her body into the stream. Just awhile ago, I was going to go tell the police but he came at full speed and hit me with his car," the boy continued to cry. "I want to see my mommy". The soul wiped his tears and began to walk off. "Hey wait!" Tsai shouted out but it the boy did not answer, he just continued to walk off. Suddenly the boy disappeared into thin air. Tsai rubbed his eyes as he looked around the intersection. At each end of the intersection there was an image of the boy walking away. "This couldn't be the foul play of a hollow.." Tsai watched as the spirits began to walk off seperate paths. "Wait a minute..."

"...could this spirit have a special ability like some hollows and humans? I've heard of hollows and humans having special abilities like this but never spirits. Although the possibility of the human keeping his powers while in spirit form is low, this might be a case.." Tsai didn't know which spirit he should follow. But then he remembered something the boy said. "...after drinking alot he killed my mother and dumped her body into the stream," Tsai repeated. "The stream!!" Tsai began to head towards the stream of water in Karakura. There was a whole system of streams, where would he begin? It would take all day for him. But if he didn't send this spirit to Soul Society quickly, the hollows would come in droves just to feast on him. He had abnormally high amounts of reiatsu for a spirit and no matter how many spirits were in the area, they would target him down first because of the fact that he had so much reiatsu. It wasn't large when you sensed it at first, it was actually just a eerie feeling but when you got close to the boy, the reiatsu matched up to an average shinigami almost.
Tsai continued to run until he reached the beginning of the stream that ran through Karakura Town. He would have to search the whole damn stream if he wanted to search for the boy's mother, once he found the boy's mother, he could search for the boy and send him to Soul Society. If the mother wasn't sent to Soul Society then the boy would be an earthbound spirit, forever stuck in the mortal realm until his last desire was fulfilled. And in this case, he wanted to be reunited with his mother. Tsai jogged down and stream and continued to search for the mother of the boy. But at the back of Tsai's head he couldn't help but think what the father of the boy would become. A hollow? And would he go to hell for his deeds? He would eventually become a problem for Tsai if he died while Tsai was on patrol. Someone that evil would indeed be a problem to any shinigami, killing his own wife and kid. "Disgusting.." Tsai frowned as he stopped in his path, he saw a women cornered by what seemed to be a group of hollows. "Could that be..that must be!!" Tsai rushed towards the crowd of hollow drawing his zampakuto at the same time. At the same time that this was happening hollows were appearing all over Karakura. It was time for Tsai to work fast.

Tsai could sense the presense of the many hollows nearby. They were gathering around him, they weren't going after the spirits that were all around but to this very point. They were moving at the woman. Tsai soon was in range as he leaped into the air and got a clear shot at one of the hollow's masks, breaking it and purifying it instantly. He swung his blade to get the blood off as he guarded the woman. Who in her hands was holding onto the boy from earlier. They were united, but under the worst conditions. "Hollows have to ruin everything.." Tsai gritted his teeth. "Run!" he barked at the woman as she carried her child and began to run towards the opposite direction as Tsai began to hold off the four hollows that were trying to get to her. "Shingaimi why do you get in our way?" one of the hollows laughed as he tried to bite into Tsai's arm. Tsai swung his zampakuto as it got caught in it's teeth. "Well..." Tsai pushed the hollow back using brute strength. "Your attacking me for one. And two, you guys are really annoying!" he shouted as he swung his zampakuto at the hollow. It leaped backwards. It's other comrades filled the gap where it leaped from. "There's no way someone of your strength can destroy us shinigami, even the old shinigami who patrolled this place couldn't kill us, what makes you think you can?" the hollow laughed as he began to charge at Tsai again. These hollows looked fairly similiar to Two-faced, the hollow Tsai fought in Soul Society. They were all humanoid type hollows with one masks, each of them had different voice tones and heights. There arms were about the same height and they all had razor sharp teeth. Their masks were each somewhat different with different designs and shapes.
Tsai held his zampakuto across his body as the teeth of the hollow along with the claws slammed into Tsai's zampakuto pushing him back. At the corner of Tsai's eyes he could see the woman running. She was awfully slow and the hollows in the area were closing in. "Lady, come back here, it's too dangerous now!" Tsai shouted signalling to the woman to come back but she didn't listen, the thought of her child being in danger probably drove her to the limits as she continued to run. "Damnit!" Tsai pushed the zampakuto into the teeth of the hollow and shattered it's mask, purifying it as well. There were three hollow left and more would come if Tsai didn't do something quickly.

Tsai began to shuffle backwards trying to catch up to the woman who continued to run although quite slowly. The three other hollow followed taking turns as they striked at Tsai almost as if they had planned this all along. Tsai parried back and forth and blocked the Hollow attacks as he continued to shuffle his feet backwards slowly but steadily catching up to the woman who had the boy in her arms. "Damn it just a bit closer," Tsai began to leap back on one foot while dodging the three hollows striking at him. "There's no where you can go Shinigami give up!" one of the hollows taunted as it opened it's mouth and tried to bite down on Tsai's arm while he was looking back at the woman. Tsai rotated his wrist and pointed his zampakuto up as the hollow bite right into the zampakuto piercing it right through the head and killing it. There were many fragments of their masks remaining, Tsai would have to collect them after he had done all his work with the spirits and this whole dilemma.
The shinigami soon reached the woman and grabbed her by the collar of her shirt with one arm as he jumped up on the sidewalk. The sides of the stream was a bad place to fight the hollows, he would be easily surrounded. Fighting on the streets of Karakura town was much safer because of the many routes he could take, but first he needed to perform a soul burial quickly before the hollows got up onto the sidewalk. "Alright miss, I don't have time to explain, just think of me as an angel taking you to heaven alright?" he tapped her head and her son's quickly with his zampakuto as she began to light up. "Thank you shinigami," she muttered. It seems she knew who Tsai was. I guess every spirit in Karakura Town was smart. The boy and the mother soon faded as another problem came up. The three hollows that remained now jumped up and surrounded Tsai. He needed to purify these hollows now. Tsai gritted his teeth as he stared all around him, more and more hollows were coming. There were around 10 in sight. Not a bad number if Tsai was a bit stronger but 10 was more than Tsai could handle, he would have to run and fight at the same time. At least the hollows weren't going after the spirits as of yet...
