a random meeting (AOI)

The woman seemed a bit ticked off but she just scoffed at her and walked away since no harm was done. Meanwhile in the streets a few people who disliked shinigami began whispering. "Look at the snug shinigami thinking she can just apologize like its nothing. Those shinigami should come when we need them not get in the way of our daily lives"

While others started saying, "Wow she is pretty, almost like a doll. I would so love to play with that one some time". Another guy shooshed him, "Hey dude, you married just leave the damn shinigami alone".

As they continued butterflies began to fill the air as a powerful presence could be felt, or at least it was powerful to non-shinigami as a release flow could be felt from the boy who looked at the people as they now kept silent. His flowing hair like his flowing scarf, the twin tails of his robe and the kidoshu symbol adorned with a secondary symbol denoting a title upon the boy as the head of jigoku. He was not just some shinigami as the other people then realised the woman had a lieutenant's sleeve and were even more quiet. Two guys ran off when they recognised her, as the boy stopped before her and looked up to her.

"Are you Nemu-san?" as the boy met with the woman for the first time.

“I thought you could tell from my uniform"

As the boy stood their with the symbol of the kidoshu was on the front of his outfit as well as the back. The side of his one sleeve had an officer band with a special jigoku symbol on it indicating he was the officer in charge of the jigoku's well being as well as their proper daily functioning.

The small boy then sighed as he introduced himself, "Sorry that was rude, I am Aoi Sora, Jigokuchō of the Kidoshu"

He looked up to her as he then spoke to her on why he was looking for her.

"I have a few requests relating to help with regards to the jigoku as well as one personal request. I was told not to request these things from Kurotsuchi-taicho directly since he is very busy, so I went to you"

He then looked around as people seemed to realise they need to mind their own business as he then looked to her.
"May we discuss this further at the institute, please Nemu-san?"

The boy's aura is the main reason people backed away as the butterflies came to him as he waved his hand and they all began to scatter into various directions. He simply issued them out since they were required in the area.

The boy listened to her as she gave really precise statements, she did not waste any words in her speech and was rather polite as well. He listened to her apology and then she turned her back to him, was she this trusting of others. Then again he was not one to talk since he also would trust people to some degree if they did not seem threatening. She told him to follow her as he made each little step, one step at a time, with his small little steps taking him closer as the gap between them was also rather small just like the small boy.

After some time and a bit of walking the woman stopped as he looked to her as she said this was the perfect place to talk as he looked down before starting his explanation.

"I would like to request some gear to be outfitted to the jigoku. They need something that may help with stealth, something for protection from massive reiatsu or reiryoku surges"

As the boy was holding out a paper scroll he pulled out listing these things. "As well as a special tracer to find stealthed jigoku."

The boy then blushed as he looked to the side. "As for me, would it be okay if you taught me the process of item creation?"

He followed her to the lab and he watched as she made her way towards the computer as he began to wonder what she would do as he was more curious then anything else. However part of his reasons were business and only a small portion was personal at this point in time. She began typing fast on the computer as he began wondering if he could ever get a chance to play those computer video games he once saw, they were not the same like the arcade he had been to before but they did hold a sense of mystique for him at the moment.

He looked down as she asked him what she needed to teach him and he looked on as she showed a few designs as he was not sure how to read all of that other then the one item seeming like a transmitter and a small tracking device as he wondered about why there were only two items as he looked a bit curious before asking his questions.

"Is that transmitter thing like a stealth and a tracer in one?" as he was not too stupid and could at least grasp that much as he then blushed a bit. "Would it be okay if you showed me how to make these and how to read these Nemu-san" as the designs had many numbers and lines that reminded him of math and he did not see any instructions on how to build up those two items as he looked to Nemu.

The boy looked full of curiosity as his aura had this faint hint of excitement as he listened to her intently. She mentioned that it could be a stealth transmitter and that it was easy to make, and that it was only a design at the moment and that she could only make final adjustments later as she spoke in a manner so devoid of emotion while seeming to have some degree of care and a great deal of politeness in her speech.

She had this perplexed look on her face as he looked up to her with a curious face as he did not look down at her like a few more prideful officers since at the very least they were more or less equals as far as status was concerned. She said she could try and teach him and that it was hard to say things in laymen terms as her gentleness made her seem almost like a peaceful deer.

He listened to her and watched as she began to draw out the blue prints as he was a bit confused, but he was a bit passionate about learning how to make things as he watched her carefully as she said it was hard to explain and that her math turns out like that as he looked a bit down.

"I am not that good at math, but keep explaining I will do my best to understand Nemu-san, it is more interesting to figure it out too." as the boy showed her his rare smile, which unlike others was a rather genuine smile. He did not show it unless he was really feeling good though.

She nodded to his request as she seemed like a good teacher and her nature was mothering in a sense, like someone who really cared deeply, but never showed it openly with words and emotions. All there was to her was her actions and that was all anyone ever needed.

He listened carefully on the specifications as well as trying his best to do the math as he was bothered by the idea of Mayuri as Mayuri-sensei. Though he did like the stuff that the division created at times, though he did not want to risk the item coming with a self destruct mechanism.

She then told him she would show him how to do the practical of what was shown in the blue prints as he looked at her, the blue prints and the creations as he kept paying attention carefully as he nodded when she asked if it was okay. He had a curious look in his eyes as he kept really close to her, had she known how to deal with children was another story all together and at the very least it was nice watching her work as he noticed how delicate and careful her motions were. It was almost like she was a machine.

It amazed him that even while looking away once in a while she was still able to perform most of the actions as if her eyes never left the creation process to begin with. Was she really a machine as he got a bit more curious about her, however he would not try poking too deep as the one saying goes that curiosity killed the cat, and it also might be that he was a scaredy cat as well.

She asked him if he was keeping up as he nodded slightly, "I missed a small part, but I got most of it so far" as he gave an honest reply rather then pretending he got all of it. He may be curious but his focus was not perfected yet, also he had to focus on what she was doing and her as well which is probably something she may not have even noticed or to be more correct would not notice since it is not something that just hits you when you doing something and someone watches.

He did not know how to explain and he pointed to the one area where she connected the top, the middle and the one side part almost simultaneously as he missed the connection points as it were since she also must have moved a few wires out of the way as well. Even at a slow pace some actions would not work if she made them too slow.

He was a bit interested in other things, but she finally finished her work while saying that she wants him to understand and that she could go back to show him what part he missed. She gave him the device as his hands became a bit shaky, he was slightly nervous as his hands turned calm the moment he took hold of the device, he held it and then moved his hand up and down gauging the weight and then thinking for a bit.

He heard her new offer and the mention of it being an easy process made him feel stupid, but he did not let that emotion show as he was more impressed then anything else right now. He listened to her and then he looked down for a bit and placed it carefully back on the work area.

“Is it okay if you take it apart, then put it back together again. It will be easier to watch you do it a second time, and when I figure this out there something I need you to do, please Nemu-san"

As he realised he should have made a few more requests on the device as well as a specification that he should have mentioned earlier.

He had a look of awe and wonder as she finally made it again he took the device from her and then finally decided to finish what he started.

"Nemu-san, thank you for you help. Would it be okay if you had the researchers work on making it smaller and a bit lighter as well please. I enjoyed the instruction and I learned quite a bit today. When Nemu-san is free I would like to learn some more. Too bad we have more work to do and being lazy would be bad, I will be back later this week to check up on it and ... "

He stopped mid sentence taking out a note detailing instructions as he did not read them, however this is what the note said.

'A request from the Jigokusho to have a more advanced hole detector created in light of certain events as holes have been opening up rather randomly as of late. In order to deal with this we will need a small compact item for detecting these holes and when they open as some holes are out of normal detection ranges for scout level shinigami. While the captains do not have this same problem they are too busy and therefor we must make this something even the weakest shinigami can deal with. We hope this request is dealt with urgently, if declined please inform us as this will become a more official request if needed'

He bowed his head slightly while remaining level as they were of a relatively similar rank as he left taking the device as he spent his first time learning about item creation from Nemu of the Research Department.

"Bye, Nemu-san"
