"I see no reason to tell you about the time before I died, so instead, I'll tell you about the time when I lived in where I come from now: The Soul Society.

"When I first arrived in the Soul Society, I found myself living in the Western Kuzon District. It was, how should I say, not easy living, but it wasn't so bad at times either. At times, a lot of petty crimes that occurred I was able to stop, and for my bravery, I was recommended to become a Soul Reaper. I quickly advanced in swordsmanship in the Soul Reaper Academy and I graduated, earning my zanpakuto, which looks to you all like a simple katana.

"After graduating from the academy, I was assigned to the Thirteen Court Guard Squads. I was assigned to Squad Eleven, for my ability and mastery of swordsmanship in combat. Soon after, I was able to achieve my Shikai, or in your language, first release, where I would learn the name of my zanpakuto and gain more power. After this, I was assigned to look over some mountain village in the World of the Living, where this Nightwing character picked me up. At first, I had no idea how he could see me, until he explained that his mental conditioning as a superhero and spiritual conditioning by being among magic users allowed him to see me."

"Alright, I have a question." I state.

"What is it?"

"How did Captain Zaraki allow you to leave your post?" I ask. Shiroto is taken aback at the notion of me knowing his captain's name.

"I talked with Kenpachi Zaraki and his lieutenant before pursuing Shiroto." Nightwing explains. "I believe his exact words were, 'Sure, do what ya want with 'im. That kid's got one hell of an attitude though, I gotta warn ya.'"

"No kidding." Raven mutters.

"So you were the one who chose Shiro, then Nightwing?" Jing Ti asks.

"Shiro-to." Shiroto growls at her.

"You guessed it. I chose him for his affinity in the art of swordsmanship, and the special power that comes with being a Soul Reaper. You'll figure out what I mean soon enough." He replies.

"Well, if you all don't mind, I suppose I can go next?" Jing Ti steps up gingerly as Shiroto steps down.

"Go ahead, miss bender." Shiroto murmurs.
