Appearing in some Rural area, Shimada just looked around in shock. This place was completely the opposite of what things were back home. Then he thought that back home was no longer a true statement as this was his home now even though he didn't want to admit it. This place was nothing but a strange place to him and he had to call it home no matter how much he didn't want to. "So this place is now my new home. Guess I should adjust to it here until my escort arrives." Sitting down on a bench he began to get comfortable. This place wasn't completely so bad, all it lacked was technology. Some music wouldn't hurt if they actually had music here unless they got it from the world of the living as Kisuke explained it. "Wonder how it is they make money here, stealing seems to be a primary act here."
He said this as he watched a bunch of kids stealing candy and running off. Shimada felt a type of peace here even though he had never been here before. He then heard of some people saying that some type of Lieutenant was roaming around and some of the bandits ran away in fear. This meant that his ride was here and he couldn't be happier being here but with that guy here he could finally leave. A man in a black outfit just like Ichigo's stepped before Shimada and spoke. "I am the Co-Lieutenant of Squad 1, Genshirō Okikiba. I was sent by Captain Commander Kyoraku to bring you to him." Shimada stood up and looked at the man to see if he was the real deal. It was an older looking guy with grey hair and a blackish streak going through his hair. His face was covered in wrinkles and had eyes filled with wisdom. "Alright, but let's walk for a little while. I see that the great wall over there is where you came from. It isn't too far."
Genshiro just nodded and walked beside Shimada then he spoke to him. "The Captain holds high hopes for you. He believes you are stronger than any of the other Captains." Hearing that Shimada looked over at Genshiro and asked him a question. "So why is your Captain Commander after me and my power? I don't even know what my power is yet." The old man looked up in the air and sighed before speaking out to Shimada. "Recently Squad 12 discovered that there are hollows appearing with strange powers. This power recently claimed the life of the former Squad 5 Captain Shinji Hirako. A new Captain stood up in his place of course but the power gap is large." Looking at the old man with a shocked look on his face Shimada knew it had to be serious for him to say that. The power gap, it had to be between the current Captain and the former Captain. For such a power gap to exist something must be wrong. Even as a Human such events happened with politicians and it lead to great distress. "So, where do I come in with all of this? I'm not that powerful as you can see." Genshiro just closed his eyes as they walked into the final district before reaching the gates of where they were going. Holding his tongue for a short while he finally spoke out to Shimada on the general idea. "Where you come in is that you held enough skill to fight off giant groups of zombies and fight on par with Kisuke Urahara while he was at half of his full strength. That right there shows that you hold some skill to allow you to fight."
Shimada was shocked about what he just heard about Kisuke. The guy was holding back against him since he knew the guy had some great strength but wasn't using it for some reason. Was it some sort of test that Kisuke was trying to pass on him during that time. Everything was starting to piece together but at the same time they weren't making sense. "Alright then, I believe i understand it all now." Genshiro looked at him with a confused look on his face as Shimada looked back at him. "Let's got and get this meeting done and over with so I can get on with my life." These events just kept on getting weirder to Shimada as he walked up to the gate and waited for it to open. Genshiro stepped forward and announced something out loud so others could hear him. "Co-Lieutenant of Squad 1 Genshiro Okikiba reporting back with the package for the Captain Commander." The giant gate then opened to reveal a very thin woman in the same outfit as Genshiro standing there with a stern look on her face. "What took so long Genshiro? The Captain has been waiting for several hours." She then turned around and took off in a similar manner that Ichigo did recently as well. A shocked Shimada then looked at the spot where the woman was and said in a shocked manner. "How is it you guys do that? Even Ichigo did it when I was with Kisuke Urahara." Genshiro just placed his hand on Shimada's shoulder and spoke. "No time to explain right now, the Captain is waiting." Genshiro did the same thing that the woman did just moments before however this time Shimada went along for the ride. Now was the time to meet this Captain Commander and get full answers about why he was here.
