Search for Magatsuhi


 * After the meeting, Hotaru Fujibayashi and the Executive Militia of the Onmitsukidō traveled to the outskirts of Soul Society, to investigate one of the locations that Magatsuhi once frequented.

Initially, there were no problems to be had. Hotaru and her men entered and secured the area in top-notch speeds with nothing strange to be found. The captain pulled out the scrap of cloth from Magatsuhi's old haori, concentrating on the bits of reiatsu that remained within it. At first, there was nothing, then she felt something. It was only a small signature - far from the level that she could recall that that captain-commander could possibly possess, but it was there. She gestured to the others that she found something, and flash stepped forward. They followed behind in a single-file line.

It took only a minute, and they were there. A lone figure was present, but Hotaru could not recognize her reiatsu. She was sure that Magatsuhi interacted with this woman before, and quietly gestured her men to surround the area and remain hidden. They only had a minute to move into position, but it was more than enough time to surround one person. The precise timing allowed Hotaru to act without having to confirm the positions of her men.

After a minute's time was up, Hotaru moved into the open, confronting the person. She did not say anything - the first point was simply to see how the other would react to her sudden appearance.
