Katsushiro was resting in the cave that he had lived in ever since he left the Seiretei so many years ago. He sat back against the stone wall of the large cave and thought about the day that he had left the Seiretei and become an exile. Unlike most exiles, Katsushiro did not regret the killing and wounding that he had to do in order to escape the Soul Society. Then again, Katsushiro did not show regret or any other emotion, for that matter, at all. Taking a break from his thought, Katsushiro noticed that it had become very cold inside of the cave. Looking outside, he saw dark skies, heavy with a threat of rain. A cold wind blew, reaching even into Katsushiro's cave. Heading out into the woods surrounding his cave, Katsushiro gathered wood and brought it back, lighting a fire to keep him warm. However, as time passed, he grew very bored. Katsushiro stood up and fastened his two swords into the obi sash that held his kimono in place as he thought "Screw the weather and what Soul Society thinks. I'm going to find something to do.". Katsushiro walked out of his cave and began to head toward Karakura Town.
He first made his way through the woods on the outskirts of Karakura, for his cave was located three miles into these woods. Katsushiro moved quickly, trying to cover those three miles quickly in case there was anything happening in the town that he did not want to miss. After about half an hour of running, Katsushiro arrived in Karakura Town, a little tired and rather sweaty. He decided to head for the center of Karakura, the most interesting area of the whole town. There was plenty to do there. There were places like parks to just hang out and hopefully be left alone. In the distance, he could hear the roar of a Hollow. He'd leave it alone unless it tried to kill him, in which case he would have to defend himself. Katsushiro had nothing against Hollow or Arrancar. He respected them, as a matter of fact. As he walked, Katsushiro felt a cold drop land on his head. It was beginning to rain. How long had it been since Katsushiro had felt rain? The last time it had rained in his life was the year 1560, when Katsushiro was only 19 years old. He hadn't felt rain for nearly five centuries. Katsushiro had always liked rain, something about it made him feel happy. Perhaps it was that rain could be used to your advantage on the battlefield. Whatever it was, Katsushiro felt happy as he walked toward the center of town.
As Katsushiro reached the center of town, the rain increased in intensity, soaking his dark blue kimono and hakama and washing the sweat left over from earlier away. Looking around, he saw nothing of interest. There were just the usual spiritually unaware humans, very few of them at that, running about to keep out of the rain. Some of those modern human transportation vehicles, cars, Katsushiro thought they were called, drove past every few minutes, on their way somewhere that they needed to be. Katsushiro was glad that he didn't live a life of constantly rushing about like these humans did. Now, he was walking past the high school. As he walked past, dozens of children, most likely 15 to 18 years old, came out from the gates, eager to get home and probably watch TV or play video games. Looking at the high school students, Katsushiro thought "If they lived in my time, there would be no video games or TV for them. They'd all be warriors, winning honorable victories on the field of battle." as he remembered what his time was like.
Finally, Katsushiro arrived in the center of town. By now, he was completely soaked by the rain. Just out of caution, Katsushiro looked around and checked for strong nearby Reiatsus. All he saw were a few humans hurrying about under umbrellas. All he felt were the weak, barely perceptible energies of the souls of spiritually unaware humans. Katsushiro got under cover by a large building and then used his flame-like Reiatsu to dry his clothing. Now, he just looked around, trying to see if anything interesting was going on.
