Welcome to Gaia! ::

Toshiro Hitsugaya, 10th company captain..Toshiro scoffs, while looking at his old arm piece. Memories of the recent battles flashed through his mind......clenching the piece Toshiro scowled...that seat is rightfully mine. he thought to himself.
It had been 50 years...50 years of a hell hole with irritating "things"....Hueco Mundo. "Maybe I should return," Toshiro said aloud,

(in thought) 50 years of training and perfecting my bankai, my spirit and strength have more than tripled.....*blushing*..I've even grown because of it.
It's decided then, I will return......

Toshiro got up, off what seemed to be a back seat but instead turned out to be the head of a hollow, and dusted himself off. The lack of a uniform made him look un-official but he could change that...heading over to the corner of his home he pulled up a floor board and took out a dusty duffel bag he had received from the human world, inside was his captain's uniform. Grabbing Hyōrinmaru, Toshiro headed out the door.

"Sneaking"
Shinku Hikage: Outside the Twelfth Division Compound

There was a flash of light, and Shinku arrived in an alleyway near the twelfth division's entrance. He looked at his surroundings and then peered around the corner to see the large gate, emblazoned with the twelfth division's symbol. Good, he had sent him to the right place. He strode out from the alleway and headed towards the gate. There were two guards posted there, attempting to pass the time. One of them noticed him and looked up. "Hey, you there! What are you doing here?" the shinigami demanded, reaching for his sword. But before it made it two inches out of its sheathe, Shinku vanished, suddenly appearing right in front of the man and launching his elbow into his gut. The shinigami had the wind knocked clear out of him, and the second one reacted. But Shinku merely grabbed the already unconscious body of the first guard and threw it into the other, knocking them both away. After that, he shoved open the heavy gate and entered inside.

Naturally, there were more guards on the inside, and they quickly noticed him, surrounding him and drawing their swords. They were shouting and sounding the alarm, telling everyone to wake up, it was a maggots nest escapee. It was rather obvious, since Shinku still hadn't changed out of the white robe. He sighed lightly, but kept smiling. Breaking these grunts would be fun. Their fighting skill most likely didn't hold a candle to the special ops he fought earlier, and they didn't hold a candle to him. Too easy. He walked forwards, and the battle began. Banging and crashing could be heard outside of the division until finally, Shinku shoved open the door to the inner compound. He had more shinigami to fight, of course, but no time to waste! He launched into a run and began simply brushing them aside rather than fight them directly. The twelfth division members began to move out of the way, and then their craftiness started to come into effect.

Shinku turned a corner and suddenly he was blocked off by a heavy steel bulk head. He screeched to a halt in front of it and then turned to change directions. He saw an obvious trap coming, and when the second door closed behind him, it was all confirmed. The coup de grace, was when a heavy mist began venting into the room. Shinku sniffed and began to feel drowsy almost instantly. Great... He fell right into that one. He slammed his fist into one of the walls, but, as he should have known, it was reinforced. He took in a breath and then held it. He needed to come up with a plan. Counter craftiness with something more crafty right? Too bad it wasn't really his strong point. He didn't have enough time to force his way out, so perhaps... He needed them to let him out. Shinku stood around for a few minutes, attempting to struggle more, and then he finally fell down onto the floor, unconscious. Or so it would seem.

Interrogating Happless Scientists
Shinku Hikage: Lab of the Twelfth Division

Shinku told the scientist his name and forced him to type it into the computer. To the man's surprise it actually brought up an entire file. Shinku figured that would happen. He read it out and looked at everything they had on him. It listed him as captain class, listed his measurements, described him as "volatile", which only made him smile more as the man he was holding trembled some more. It also listed, as an important feature, his ability to absorb reiatsu. They wanted further study, but the "Subject" was also marked as lost. But of course the picture they had was out of date... He still looked like a kid then. Shinku didn't realize it yet. He had not looked into a mirror. "Ask it where my sword is!" Shinku demanded. The frightened scientest looked up the zanpaktou section of his file. Shinku was surprised, this time, at how much information they had collected about his blade. This division had their damn spies everywhere. However... It was also listed as lost.

Shinku stared in awe at the listing. He chucked the scientist aside and slammed his fist onto the terminal. "What!?" he demanded, "How can that be!? Where is my damn sword!?" He slammed his fists into the terminal again, harder this time. The screened flashed and then suddenly went out. He roared and started slamming his fists multiple times into the terminal. Even these useless twelfth division computers didn't know where it was. With one final punch, that left his hands slightly bloodied, Shinku gave up on beating the computer. With a huff, he turned and started to leave. When he heard an alarm go off. He looked at the scientist that he had left concious, who was now next to the alarm, looking at him frightened. "Damnit!" Shinku roared. He needed to escape now. He unlocked the door and threw it open before running down the hallway, as fast as he could.
