"The White Shrew?"

"Who would that be?"

Tatsui thought as she looked carefully down the quiet and desolate hall that held the White Shrew's office. She constantly heard of this person from everyone around the Province. It sounded as if he ("or she", Tatsui thought) was some sort president or leader, but Tatsui never had the guts to ask. So there she was to check it out herself. At first she grew nervous as she approached the large door, but mustered enough courage to knock.

*The door would open, and would reveal me sitting at my desk, pouring over some papers, as I looked up from them when Tatsui was to step into the room* Hello, Tatsui Suou....nice to finally meet your acquiantence.... *I would say, nodding to Tatsui* Something I can help you with...?

"I'm...here to see the White Shrew."

Tatsui said as she walked through the doorway, quietly closing the door behind her. The girl approached the desk, making her steps light.

Your looking right at him.... *I would say, as my tail shot across the desk, wrapping around the handle of the glass of tea, which was then lifted to my lips, as I took a slip. My hands would be shuffling some papers, and stacking them together, as I looked up at Tatsui, continuing to sip with my tail* I'm sure theres nothing wrong, just a question or two on your mind...?

"Oh!"

Tatsui was quiet for a moment, looking at him in shock. Indeed he was someone she had not seen before.

"I...I just expected some...old dusty looking man as this White Shrew person is all. Some sage or something of another, haha!"

She scratched the back of her head bashfully.

"No I didn't come here for anything dire, just to say hello! Your name is one I hear around a lot. My name is Tatsui Su--"

Suddenly she jumped, coming to a realization.

"You knew my name when I came in, but I never introduced myself..."

*A grin flashed across my face, as I watched Tatsui, leaning back in my chair, as my tail set my tea down, and silthered into my lap* Dusty and Old, huh?.... *I would chuckle, agreeing in my mind that such a name would conjure such images to the unknowing mind* Hum, your a simple girl, a little courious at times, your born in October, your blood type is B, you are currently inhibiting Navitas, Reiatsu, and some sort of magical energy....and your Zampakuto's name is....Kaza.... *I would say, as I flicked a piece of lint off of my shirt, and then went back to watching Tatsui* And you should really visit the springs, there such wonderful place to relax....since you haven't been there already... *I would say, supressing the grin as much as I could, and trying to keep myself from laughing. It was always fun to do this with people, especially when they didn't know how you were doing it*

Tatsui was quiet for a while and then she suddenly started to circle him, curious. She was right indeed, maybe it was his genetic make up that allowed him to do such..?

"I've ever seen someone like you."

She stated, a finger to her lips thoughtfully. She came close to examine his hair and ears and most of all his most curious tail. Tatsui's green eyes looked at him carefully, a hand pulling back a strand of her crimson hair.

"Then again, they don't call you the White Shrew for nothing, right?"

*I would chuckle again, as I allowed Tatsui to examine me. There would then be a reply, but this voice was different from my own, and it didn't originate from me. In fact, I didn't even open my mouth, instead, the voice echoed from all over, and all around Tatsui* Indeed....the White Shrew has....Light... *At that moment, I would hold up the Yin-Yang pendent that was around my neck, as purely white light shot out of it, illuminating the entire office with bright white light. The next moment it faded, and barried the artifact beneath my shirt again* It would surely taking you a long time to figure me out, courious one...

She watched the lights with curiosity, looking around her for any source. But figured and accepted that it was such a large presence and perhaps benevolent that she wouldn't be able to find such a "source". To the voice's last sentence, Tatsui merely smiled, hooking her hands behind her back and tilting her head a little.

"But there's no harm in trying, so I rest assured."

*I would chuckle a little againm using my normal voice again* Your just as interesting as your are yourself courious....Oh, and you can call me Ezekiel....So, Tatsui what are your plans now...? *I would say, wishing to hear them from her own mouth rather than just taking it from her thoughts*

"Ezekiel...Eze..kun."

Tatsui nodded to herself, not even thinking of his approval. Eze would work just fine, yep. After his question she paused, smiling.

"Well I've been practicing with the sword and studying at the library for some time now... and I want to study a little more but..."

Suddenly Tatsui let go of the fatigue, letting her legs collapse under her. She sat on the floor and next to the desk, exhausted. She whimpered and her voice came out meager.

"I don't think I can stand it there anymore.. To be honest I needed some fresh air."

Gasping, Tatsui looked at Ezekiel, the glint and happiness in her eyes returning.

"I know! You said something about the spring, right? That'd be a perfect place to relax."

Indeed, thats why I suggested it....your body would do good to rest there... *I would say, as I looked back down at my papers* If you need anything else, I'm sure you'll know where to find me...

"Come with me!"

Tatsui said without missing a beat. She laughed a little, tilting her head to the side. Her green eyes welcomed him.

"You seem so busy here. Even a leader need to relax too right?"

Sighing, she turned away from him for a second, a smile playing on her face. Her hands linked behind her back as she did a slow walk across the room.

"Besides. You know this place better than I do."

Turning to him again, she bent forward a little with a happy expression.

"Isn't that right...Mr. White Shrew?"

((Sorry, didn't see this))

I'll meet you there a little later, alright....? *I would say, silently agreeing that I did need a break. And I wanted to see how good the springs were anyways*

(( Extra late. xD ))

((Lol, indeed...XD))
