Training for CTP:
Heart racing. Breath coming in and out sharply. Legs going as fast as they could. Someone, no, something was being chased. The footsteps didn't sound human, they sounded... like talons on dirt. Like a chicken running... A person sized chicken... The birdman ran like his life depended on it, which it probably did. But who was chasing him? Why was he being chased in the first place? To answer these questions, rewind the clock a few hours. Looking back on the events of the day, what little of his life that he could remember flashing before his avian eyes, Kane Coo ran and ran.

The late evening started with the Rogue combing the waterfront for shiny objects, like he did every night. He liked the water, and the dusk time as people started to become scarcer. In the dusk, it was easier to see the reflections of shiny things from the lights of the town and the setting sun. He loved to collect the shiny things and hoard them. He had quite the stash of things built up in this town, little pockets of shiny things buried places all around the town with not even 50,000 people living there. Sometimes his hiding places would be found and he'd lose some manner of pocket watches, makeup mirrors, coins, and belt buckles (his favorite were the belt buckles, by far, so he was sad to see those lost).
About a half hour into his combing the waterfront, the former beast clansman turned Rogue saw a doorway open up over the water. Not knowing what a Senkaimon was, he started to investigate only to see three armed Shinigami walk out of the Japanese doors and the lighted doorway close behind them and disappear into the orange and red hues of the setting sun behind them. They all carried shiny swords that both scared Kane and intrigued him. What if he got his hands on one of them? It would be the ultimate shiny thing, even though he hated swords.
However, what caught his eye even more was the shiny gold bracelet around the ankle of the female Shinigami that was part of the trio. It was polished to perfection, perfect in every way. He HAD to have it. So he stalked them for hours, hiding behind them in the shadows and waiting for the opportunity to strike and steal it. Weaving in and out of alleys, he followed them on their mission to Konso lost souls and put down Hollows, the latter of which there were none of and the former of which there were almost none of given the small population of the town.
"Why again were we called out here? This appears to be the middle of nowhere."
"Hush, seventh seat Andrakis. I am your superior officer, by two whole Seats, and we are here due to Rogue sightings. A kleptomaniac by the reports of it."
They got out of earshot of Kane and he couldn't make out what they were saying any more. He figured they were talking about him, but he still just had to have that shiny ankle bracelet with the five loops... And just like that, his opportunity arrived. The woman was sitting at a table, legs crossed, ankle just flapping in the wind waiting for him to snatch it. He didn't see the other two out of the corner of his eye, watching her intently, so as he crept up to the table to hide underneath it and grab at the bracelet, suddenly his cloak was grabbed from behind.
"Gotcha, thief!"
Kane cried out in a loud voice, "I am your superior officer and nowhere hereRogue thief!" The Shinigami dropped the cloak, suddenly surprised by hearing all three of their voices call out. Kane started to scramble for the ankle bracelet, successfully getting a hold of it, deftly removing it from the foot, and high tailed it out of there as quick as he could. The Shinigami hurried after him, leading to the heart racing, breath coming in and out sharply, legs going as fast as they could...
