Do you see my point? [Hannah/Wakaba]

Run away... R-Romance?! To say that her face was covered rather quickly in red would be an understatement, to top it off she took one step back in shock at the notion. Not that she was... opposed per say, but the thought of a romantic relationship between herself and someone of Urahara's status was, well it was the first time anyone had ever suggested such.

However that aside, Hannah continued surprising Fuurinji when she heard Urahara's voice from nearby, sure Fuu wasn't exactly the most adept at sensing Reiatsu but even she could tell that he was definitely not nearby. This merely told her that Hannah's ability to use Kido was quite on another level. To top it off, the two must know each other quite well for Urahara did not protest much before agreeing to come and meet her.

Once the line went dead, Fuu spoke "W-Well... I uh... wasn't expecting it to be quite that easy to get ahold of him I'll admit... though I uh... I'm not a past lover or anything. ehhehehehe...." Fuu rubbed the back of her head a bit "But thank you either way." Truth be told, Fuu was more thanking Hannah for not asking any questions about why exactly she wished to speak with him... She could only now hope that he'd be willing to answer some of her questions.

She couldn't help but giggle a bit at the insinuation that bullying Urahara was apart of her contract, really the thought of anyone bullying Urahara was... quite funny to her. They need only wait a rather short time before she heard a voice, and then noticed there was another presence. Admittedly this startled the girl and Fuu ended up jumping quite a bit before turning to face him, of everything that could surprise her... never did she think someone could simply sneak up on her as stealthily as he did. Normally her Kazeyomi warned her of most everything that began to approach, yet in this instance he didn't simply pass through it... it was like he had avoided it entirely until the moment he spoke.

With one hand over her heart she slowed her breathing from the jump scare, though Urahara did yet again catch her off guard with the 'Welcome back' comment. While she knew that Urahara knew many things, her particular career had never been extremely noteworthy outside of a single incident early into her career as a Shinigami. "Oh... uh, yes, hi, sorry you startled me that's all." She took another moment to clear her throat and collect herself before bowing and continuing.

"Hello Kisuke Taicho, thank you for taking the time to come here. I am Wakaba Fuurinji. I am aware that my... status might not permit me privy to much information, however it recently came to my attention from the Tenth Seat of the Fourth Division by the name of Zefa Tento about some more specifics involving the hole that has opened up in Africa. It..." She paused for a moment, almost like her breath was caught in her throat "In my inquiry, I asked about the whereabouts of the Substitute Shinigami known as Kurosaki Ichigo. With as much time has passed, I assumed he had likely passed away... yet I figured with his prowess and shinigami powers, he might've joined the Gotei to continue helping. Yet from what I am told he... disappeared? My apologies for my ignorance, I've... been rather out of the loop on the specifics that've been happening within the Gotei as of late."

"Recent activities?" She muttered to herself confused, she'd no knowledge of anything Ichigo was doing... what cou- Her thoughts were interrupted rather abruptly, her eyes going wide shown only by the raising of her eyebrows and opening of her mouth. "W-Wanted!?" She repeated hoarsely "Attack?" The confusion in her voice was rather evident "W-What do you mean attack? But... Ichigo protects people!" The way he spoke... it wasn't that she doubted his words, it was that she doubted her memory.

To top it off, it was almost like Urahara was insinuating that this wasn't just a recent event... that this'd been a thing for awhile now. "I-I-I... I don't understand... What do you mean attack on the City of Light? You speak of him as if he is some kind of hardened criminal, like his goal is to destroy the Gotei not help it... Are we speaking of the same Kurosaki Ichigo?" Her mind was running wild with some vague attempt at understanding, none of this made any sense to her.

"I knew I was missing information but... what the hell has happened since the Gotei reformed?" If nothing else... this definitely confirmed that the Gotei she first joined, and the Gotei she now stood amongst... were very different organizations. For good or ill.

Sobering was one way of putting it certainly, and it seemed that which she paid attention too was... rather selective. She'd never even heard of such an attack happening, or if she assumed it was a wonton Arrancarr that the Gotei would deal with. If it indeed was a copycat, there were likely a fair few other individuals who'd of been much better targets to imitate.

Still she'd been given far more information than she had originally thought she'd be able to glean "I... see." She muttered, mostly to herself. She was still in shocked disbelief that these events could've happened, yet what reason would Urahara have to lie to her? He gained nothing by doing so, and to lie about such a thing... well, it'd be astonishing to say the least.

Either way it seemed he would be unable to speak further on the matter it seemed, though that didn't surprise her in the least. Besides, If the world was indeed moving as quickly as it seemed, what had she been doing all this time? Setting aside the fact that she apparently hadn't heard of something that seemed rather cataclysmic, her own strength had barely budged yet it seemed like everything else had carried on at a blistering speed.

Maybe she should've rejoined with the Gotei, or maybe she should do that now... if it was even possible. But then there was the question of whether doing so would even do anything. "If you don't mind, Kisuke Taicho, I would ask the location of where the public records are kept, as well as the last known location of my former Taicho, Komamura Sajin. Weak though I may be, I feel it imperative to speak to him and know his thoughts about what I should be doing moving forward."
