			<description>Kuro made his way swiftly through the higher districts of the Rukongai.  As he moved through the lower numbered districts, he took notice of the run down appearance that some of them were starting to show.  The war was still only in its beginning stages, but he predicted that if something wasn't done to quell the fighting between the noble families, much of soul society could end up much like rougher parts of the Rukongai.  Kuro was in fact heading for the district of Zaraki.  In his robes was  ...</description>

IC: Zaraki, the district that had lent its name to the most infamous captain of the Gotei 13 ever. A hard place full of full of hard people who had long given up hopes of some sort of paradise after death. They fought for what they wanted and either they where victorious and took the spoils or their blood would wet the ground that day.



It was with these thoughts in his head that he questioned himself as to why he was here, it was a question that he could not  ...</description>

Deep in the forest, Kuro was training again with his shikai.  Improving his skill with his spirit power was his main strive these days.  Focusing a bunch of power into his gauntlet, he set his sight on three large trees and shunpoed forward in a direct charge on them.  Pulling back his palm and thrusting it as he passed them, he released the energy in an explosive barrage of blows that  ...</description>

Kaito had been gone awhile so Society had seemed to be a different place to him once he had returned from his self-inspired hiatus from the role of being a shinigami. Sighing, the young shinigami stared thoughtfully as he walked through the Senkai gate that took him from the Material World where he had been hiding out to the Soul Society once more. Although he was feeling a bit more stabilized since the last time that he had been in the area it bothered  ...</description>

The elder had told him that he had been doing remarkably well for enduring so much training.  Kuro wondered how much this man knew.  His training seemed to be very effective.  They continued walking through the forest.  Kuro wondered where they were heading.  He began to hear the sounds of rushing water.

Kuro was waiting for the elder in the middle of his training spot.  He saw the old man emerging from his tent in the middle of the camp.  He immediately began walking towards Kuro with a smile on his face.  He walked over to the training site and began to explain the next training session.

Kaito had gone around searching for someone, who would train him in the ways of the sword since he was still pretty pitiful at sword combat and he figured that what better place to look than the district where the famous Zaraki, Kenpachi had arisen from. While Kaito didn't expect to be made into that caliber of a swordsmen he at least wanted to be able to cut something, he was after all training to become a shinigami.

'What the fuck do you suggest we do then Einstein!' the muffled voices seemed to be coming from the far right; a more specific location would be harder to guess for the blonde girl. Tied up with her arms behind her back and a bag over her head. A situation which was unusual to Kaiyo, the blonde girl could only retrace her steps to where she had woken up.

			<description>Kuro stood deep in a forest in the rukongai.  I was a rougher district, but nothing as bad as the Zaraki district where he'd lived.  Deep in the woods, he was very unlikely to be disturbed by others.  He had come here to perform some private training so he could improve his skills.  He wasn't in the academy anymore, so he was going to have to train himself now.  This area seemed like a good place.  His first attempt was going to focus on improving his speed.  He worked for a long time, making  ...</description>

Kuro scanned over the letter that he found on his bunk . It was a letter from his kidou instructor at the academy. He followed the instructions that was printed in the letter thoroughly. He followed the directions to a old run down dojo near where the orphanage was. Kuro looked at the dojo, it was a huge building compared to most of the common dojos. Though, it was in horrible condition. Most of the roofing was rotten  ...</description>

He was quiet he just looked up staring into the star filled sky in the real world he could do much of that. He was but an academy student yet he felt he was destined for much more than that. He stood up and jumped into the air and flipped forward and jumped down to the bare ground from the high building. He looked around and it was quiet.

			<description>Himawari sighed as she walked into The White Pig, her favourite sake house in Rukongai. She’d been coming here for almost half her life here in Soul Society, but almost always in the company of her grandfather. She looked about, in half expectancy that he might actually be there, but there was no such luck.



“Ah Himawari-Chan!” the barman called, “Gracing us from the academy I see!” Himawari smiled as she approached the bar.



“If you don’t want me here,” she smiled, “I can always leave.”  ...</description>

For most of the Gotei 13 it was a particularly relaxed morning, the Captains meeting was still in process and still would be for at least another hour; and the Lieutenants meeting was about to start.



A small blonde blur appeared quickly in the street of Rukongai, in a normal shinigami uniform and with her vice captain sash off Kaiyo strolled happily along the street. For such a cheery and  ...</description>

Leden reaches the back door of what looks like an abandon warehouse.  He knocked on the steal black door three times paused and knocked 2 more times.

Kuro checked over his gear before leaving the academy.  He had his original outfit on from his days living in the rukongai as well as enough food for the day.  He had decided on his old outfit since he was planning on heading for some locations where residents of the seireitei were not particularly appreciated.  He was planning to visit his area of awakening in district 80, Zaraki.  Glancing at the corner of his room, he noticed his zanpakuto leaning against the  ...</description>

“Oy! Sensei!” Ryouta called out. The round man turned; his face brightened when he saw Ryouta. “Ryouta-san! How are you?” 



“Oh, ya know, the standard Shinigami stuff. I’m applying for the 2nd Squad Lieutenant job.”

			<description>Ahhh the musty air, the smell of earthly home cooked meals, and not a bloody Shinigami in sight. God he loved Rukongai. It was his kind of place, just a stones throw away from being Glasgow and marginally more lawful in his opinion.



He wandered the dirt covered streets, speaking to the few people he had come to know, and wound his way to the usual spot. The deserted and derelict section that not even the scavengers bothered with. 

As he made his way to the scorch marked and pot holed piece  ...</description>

			<description>Kaiyo wandered along the footpath in Rukongai; she was in one of the more civil districts so she felt relatively safe, despite the fact she was potentially going to meet her doom.



Since their fight at the shinigami Womens Association Kaiyo was certain Himawari had gotten stronger and Kaiyo wanted to know if she'd gotten any stronger as well; she had agreed with Himawari to meet in a rural part of Rukongai; an unused field and have a little sparr.

In a small field just down the road of Rukongai many academy students came here to spar; but thos who had hoped to take the ground had all turned in the opposite direction of a liutenant sitting in the middle of the field, staring up at the sky and smiling.

She strolled around the streets for a while, taking in the site, smelling the 'fresh' air; all of this took just a fraction of the time Kaiyo had hoped, she had the rest of the day free and she was stuck in rukongai doing nothing.

She had put up a poster at the academy calling to meet people at the park, just down the road to the academy. kaiyo had  ...</description>

There was a feeling of expansion, like his body was being spread across a vast and incalculable distance, he was everywhere at once, miles in either direction, he was up and down, left and right.
