Nero cursed after he spread out his senses and felt the problem with Hana. Not caring about the fact he sensed Ichigo and a very weak energy as he activated his watch and disappeared in a burst of Sonido. He appeared next to the Hollow Ichigo had just cut the legs out from under and with a one handed swing, cut the Hollow in half.

"Didn't something very similar to this happen not long after first meeting you?" Nero asked as he looked at Ichigo.

The kid had a huge Zanpakto which made Nero raise an eye at. The kid was powerful but had no control over his Reiatsu.

"Thanks for helping Hana Ichigo." He said before looking over and seeing Rukia "Hey chibi, get out of here. Things might get bad for you."

If he sensed the problem instantly then Ichigo wouldn't have much to do.

I need to drastically alter my post then.

(Nero will arrive after your next post.)

Nero was enjoying his drink. He wondered how Hana was doing at the moment and if she was enjoying her night out. What did one do when one went out anyway? Did they just drink? Because that sounded stupid and dull. He couldn't really get drunk due to his insane endurance and costitution.

(Writers block!)

Those Closest

He took a deep breath to calm down andfinally succeeded. He always was always able to calm down from even the most serious of rages when around Kaya. She just seemed to ooze a calming aura that affected him quite strongly. He just couldn't stay mad around the girl and he believed that was a sign.

"Sorry Kaya." He said after a few breaths "I'm not doing well in Hero Morality. The teacher doesn't understand that in a fight its either you or your opponent. Also some crimes deserve worse punishments."

He wouldn't just kill a common criminal unless aid criminal was threatening the life of an innocent and even then he'd just be aiming to disable. He wanted to be a hero... but he suspected he wouldn't be a great hero due to his convictions.

Nero's training hadn't gone the way he had hoped. He hadn't been able to improve himself in anyway despite both Urahara's and Tessai's best effort to push Nero to his limits the Arrancar was still able to rather easily defeat them. True Urahara still wouldn't use his Bankai but Nero was lightly injured from the fight. Luckily his Gigai would show no injuries once he got into it and Tessai could heal both his own and Urahara's injuries.

Nero walked down the hall with an unhappy scowl on his face. He was honestly hoping for a Hollow to show up so he could fight them but unfortunately he had no such luck. No Hollows had shown up that night and he had nothing to really do now. He was bored so he decided to drink some of the booze he had brought over.

As Hana left Urahara came in with a serious look on his face.

"Thats not a good thing." Nero commented as he popped another piece of sushi in his mouth "Sherious Urahara ish never ish never a good thing."

"Things seem to be moving forward at last." Urahara replied "It seems like our enemy is starting to move at long last."

"And what exshactly doesh that mean?" Nero asked.

"That your training should accelerate. He'll be coming to retrieve something that Rukia has... though she doesn't know she has it." Urahara told him "Hana may not know it yet but she's likely being used ot locate and observe Ruki."

Nero scowled at the man. He didn't like what Urahara was implying. Hana wasn't his enemy and she wasn't working for that man. Urahara seemed to read his mind as he raised a hand placatingly.

"I'm not saying she is in league with our enemy, only that she is following orders given by him." Urahara explained "If anything she is an unwitting pawn. Unfortunately you can't tell her any of this as she may report it back to her superiors and thusly him."

"Fine." Nero growled as he got to his feet "Lets get to training then."

Eanith [McHaggis & Kaore]

Bryant actually smiled at that. He hadn't known she could use magic of any kind. He wasn't sure what kind of magic she used but it would still be useful. Now that he knew she could use magic a plan began to form in his head. While nonhumans were treated as second or third class citizens, the Imperial Magic Academy didn't really care about race and would admit anyone who could use magic.

Sure the nonhumans were occasionally mistreated by some of the more racial students but the teachers genreally issued harsh punishments when they caught this happening. They even permitted a servant to come to the academy with their master, if they had any servants.

"I'm begining to formulate a plan." He said before they reached the end of the tunnel "This is home."

A large cavern easily more then a hundred yards long and fifty yards wide spread out before them. It was lit by several torches hanging from the twenty foot tall ceiling and had several dozen doors set in the walls. Scattered through out the chamber were several sets of old dusty stone tables with cobweb covered wooden sat around them. Several empty book cases also filled the chamber. Only one table wasn't covered in dust; maps, notes, plans, and books covered the large table.

"This place predates the Empire." He told her "When I found it by mistake I found only one book that was almost buried by the amount of dust covering it. While faded with age I was able to learn a bit about this places history."

Nero was briefly entranced by how Hana looked in her clothes. So entranced that for a moment he was unable to hear what she said but then he shook his head and looked back at his food.

"Sure. I'll keep an eye out for any that show up." He told her "I should be able to handle almost anything that shows up in only a moment or so."

The only reason it would take him more then a second or tow to handle any Hollow incursion would be if more then ten or so showed up at the same time. That rarely, if ever, happened and he doubted it would anytime soon. He could handle any Hollow that showed up at his current level... he doubted he would even need to leave his Gigai to handle anything at all.

"You go and enjoy yourself." He told her before popping another piece of sushi into his mouth.
