Wasteland Roc

Satoru had heard of this officer’s penchant for large cats, but hearing and seeing are quite difference experiences. Discipline keeps his fingers from twitching for a zanpakuto. If Kobu says the beast is under control, then Satoru has little choice but to trust his word.

“Ah, passing by the training grounds. Right. Well,” and he gestures with one hand, “it is your division — I will follow you.” His eyes do drift back to the great beast. Will she really not bite, looking as fierce as she does? Satoru swallows slowly to steel his nerve. Predators can sense fear, right? Best to put a lid on that.

Kobu was not particularly concerned about the look Satoru had on his face. For one, he had faith that if the man did try something stupid, Karst was more than fast enough to avoid it. And of course, he also figured that a seated officer would know better than to go attacking some animal.

“You don’t have to be so tense. She may be a killer when it comes to hollows. But she wouldn’t be hanging around my office if she was a danger to anyone in the gotei.” He pointed out calmly enough, and rather than him, it was the feline that took the lead, promptly striding ahead as Kobu, and presumably Satoru, would follow behind her. “You’re in ninth division aren’t you? I’m a little surprised you’re so unnerved by a big kitty~” He chuckled lightheartedly, even as his comment earned him a dirty look over Karst’s shoulder.

Sakura was causing all this? She felt guilt eat at her. She frowned, her forehead creasing. “I..I am so sorry, I didn’t mean to cause all this..I don’t even know how I ended up here, me and my team were fighting this god and..and then the next thing I know I end up in this..place” She replied.

She looked at him confused, she had no Idea why he kept saying third seat. She would ask him later. Black stripes adorned her face and her arms, she had used the seal. She touched the diamond on her forehead. That was not what brought her here. She assumed Kaguya had done it.

“Spirit world?” She asked. She didn’t think that was a good idea, but did she have a choice? She really had no choice but to trust this guy..or dead guy? He was a ghost she assumed.

“I need to get back to my world, maybe you can help me” She asked him.

She was finally coming down off the extreme adrinalin she had been on. She felt the sting of several wounds on her face and arms. Green chakra appeared around her hand as she quickly healed herself.

“That’s really not necessary to be apologizing. You haven’t DONE anything wrong. It’s simply a matter of your soul. “ He explained calmly enough as he turned away, briefly holding a conversation with the Communications department. Right, seemed things were mostly under control. However what he DIDN’T expect was her question. 

He paused, looking down at the woman for a few seconds, watching as she patched herself up. It seemed remarkably similar to Kaido. Was it of a similar origin? No it didn’t seem quite the same, but then again he hadn’t worked in Squad four for ages and only had a basic understanding of it. Certainly not enough to recognize how this green aura was working just at a glance. 

“Sorry but this sort of thing just really isn’t my style. I’m an officer, not a scientist.” He stated, gently stabbing his blade into the air off to the side, opening up the senkaimon gate as a hell butterfly passed through, ready to guide them.  He sheathed his blade and then held his hand out to the Kunoichi. 

As seemed to be rather common with Fourth division, the young man that Kobu found himself colliding with was full of nothing but apologies. He knelt down, helping them gather up the documents as he paused and frowned. He looked around for a moment, as if looking for something. Odd.

She gasped, when he picked her up, she was taken by surprise but she had sensed he was trying to help her. As they descended she gazed at the city getting smaller below them. “I am used to heights” She replied. She had flown on Sasuke’s and Sai’s birds, plus she had stood on her giant summon many times.

When he put her down she looked up at him and tilted her head a bit. “You don’t have any chakra, how are you even alive?” She asked. “Are you hurt or sick? I am a medic ninja and can help you” She told him softly. He didn’t look like he was injured or ill, but she knew better than anyone that looks can be deceiving.

“I am Sakura Haruno by the way” She introduced with a soft smile. A smile that always gave off the impression of her being soft and helpless. It was a genuine smile but she aslo used it to fool her enemies.

With her bubblegum pink hair and her girly features and big soft green eyes, she always came off as someone easily defeated.

She still believed she was in a different dimension, it was the only explanation that made any sense.

“Chakra?” Well this was an interesting development. He’d certainly heard of it before, but sensing it? Was it her world’s version of spirit energy? Well this was going to be an interesting conversation then. Though when she wondered if he was sick he actually couldn’t help but chuckle just a little.  “I’m not alive actually. I’m a shinigami. Which is to say, I died a long time ago. I guess you probably can’t sense spirit energy huh? That’s gonna make this a little rough.” He murmured and looked around. Thankfully it seemed that the other squads had everything under control, no hollows moving in. That was good. It took him a moment to actually turn and notice that look on the girl’s face. 

Huh, been a while since he’d seen a smile like that. At least in his direction.  

“Third Seat, you can just call me Kobu for the time being.” He murmured and paused when he heard another order coming down. “Hmmm.. we don’t know what you are, but you have a spirit that’s driving the hollows crazy. That being, a kind of evil ghost that inhabits our world. So until we can figure out why you’re attracting them. I’m going to have to take you to the spirit world.” He murmured apologetically, turning to look at Sakura.
