Endangered Species Prologue [Private]

A loud yawn escaped past the lips of a male who just awoke from a nap. He had been napping for a solid hour and a half; waiting until it was time for his appointment. He glanced over at a hanging clock and noticed that it was about half past eleven. He was about ten minutes away from the location of his meeting. More than likely his company was already there, seeing as he was always late to things, and this was just part of his personality.

He gathered his things up before leaving the house he had stayed at. It was his old human house, kept in top shape, this thanks to his significant other. It took ten minutes for the man to walk to the place of business, bypassing a few of the servers the man quietly took his seat. He sat across from a business associate, Seran.

"It's been awhile." He said casually to his acquaintance. They had not met in sometime since their last escapade with a certain substitute shinigami. He wondered, what did the mod soul want with him? It obviously would deal with Soul Society, as he was possibly the only one on the inside; at least that's what he assumed. He wondered just how many people Seran had befriended. Arashi had to give it to the person, he was a good business man.[/justif][/blockquote

He listened to the man speaking about how he had moved to the human world. Did something occur in Hueco Mundo? He briefly turned his attention to the waitress. She was asking him what he wanted as a meal. "I'm content with just a glass of water." Arashi responded. She jotted it down before taking, Seran's order.

As the lady went away his business partner begun to speak again. He could tell that there was a bit of an emphasis on his part; he was making it a point to be serious. His body was relaxed against the chair, even during something this serious he continue to keep his sheepish facade. However, he was wide awake, and paying close attention to this man. For a long time he wondered if he should continue to work with him; there were doubts. He was supposed to be on Soul Society's side, that meant eliminating their enemies, and not comitting treason. However, he sat there quietly as Seran talked about the situation. It seemed he wanted to send a message to everyone, that he was a power house, and a threat to Soul Society.

He knew that if push came to shove that he could leave. Hell, he could even fight with the mod soul and end everything right here. Yet, there was something stopping him. Lyn had dropped off the face of the Earth, Ain was missing, everyone he once considered an ally was missing. Even by being with Soul Society he still didn't feel the same companionship he once had. Arashi sat there pondering the words. It was treason, he would be betraying the shinigami, but would it be worth it? If they never found out it was his fault then it could be.

"You know, this is the hardest thing for me to consider, since it is going against everything I wanted in life. I wanted to only help others, to work with the other shinigami and to protect those that I could. However, here lately it seems like maybe it would be best for me to do what I want. What kind of rewards are we talking?" He looked the man directly into his eyes, for a brief moment even his serious side showed. The man that sat across from Seran was doing this for ulterior motives; they both wanted something out of this meeting. Arashi just hoped it would actually be something he would want.
