Prolouge----~


the gails was hurendous, but amongst the whirling tornado of orange and yellow. the 7 fingures stood, un-shifted by the storm. The desert dwellers had spent their lives in the deserts and where atuned to the sands. as a fish is atuned to water. any stepping within their lair, would have their lives be forfit.

One man is stood before them all. a great man, his trailing robes whiping and lashing at the sands. he turns to his followers, and gives a slight nod. then he vanishes. like the sand it self he flows invissibly towards the wall that seperates his realm from that of his kin.

the figure appears atop the wall, hunched like a cat. 2 other shadowy figures materialize at his sides. then the three of them. flash into the eastern district of the rukongai. headed straight for the East gate of the Seretei. Cuting down all in their path. civilians, women and children. the sands under their feet become tainted with blood as they dash from person to person, a barbaric display of hatred. upon coming to the gate, the screams of the people now laying claeved and unsightly on the floor had brought guards running.

there was only 10, but they where still underestimation the devils of the sand. the guards ran at them. but before they could even draw their swords. the man at the fron of the devils steps forward.

"Grind Shin-ka-ku" he says in a soothing tone. the sands around them, kick and scream as if they themselves where coming alive. and as the guards breathed heaqvily, the tiny grains of death flowing throught their air into their lungs.

"Relase... Shin-ka-ku" the command is a god send, to put the guards out of their pain. as the sand withing their chests rotates like a saw, rippping their lungs into pieces and forcing them to fall to the floor. Tainted be the bodys of the guards, as from their mouths there is no blood. only sand.

as the three step back.

"They now know we can attack them, they now know we no longer wait in the shadows. We Will have our Revenge!!!"

and upon yelling this he once again vanishes back to the ocean he was raised in.

Open----------~




Sai Leant back on his chair, the bare wood poking into his spine. Damn uncomfortaable, like most of his furnature. a 6th seat doesn't get the luxury, Just the neccessaty.

Suddenly, A unseated member of the 11th division slams inthrough the closed doors, almostl falling onto Sai's desk.

"Amilay-sama! i was sen't by the Central 42, you and all other seated officers or higher. are to assemble outside the Central 42 Gates..."

he then took adeep breath, regaining the oxygen he just lost. Sai was abit disturbed, as to why he was getting consulted first, boviously he was the closest to the 11th's gate or somthing. he stood from his seat.

"Very well, Make sure you report this the 3rd seat Kaoru, and the 4th / 5th seats. the captains still indesposed. so we'll attend in his stead."

[Kaoru Miyazaki]

Kaoru had been sleeping soundly within his room. As of late, he'd been getting a lot less sleep at night and was often taking naps during the day when he had the time to spare. He hadn't even taken off his sandals or tabi socks when he'd laid down, though he did set Hanamaru down on the nightstand. But the shinigami was soon stirred out of his slumber by someone knocking on his door. Slowly, dazed purple eyes opened and the tired boy sat up, yawning softly. “Be right there!”, he called, standing up from the bed.

The Third Seat grabbed his zanpakutou off the nightstand and went to answer the door. His visitor turned out to be another member of the 11th Division, and he seemed to be in a rather panicked state. Kaoru was about to ask what was wrong, but was cut off before he could get the words out.

“Miyazaki-sama, your presence is being requested at the Central 46 Gates. You must attend immediately.”, the officer informed him, a tone of urgency in his voice.

This made the purple-haired shinigami feel extremely uneasy. Being summoned by the Central 46 was an incredibly rare occurrence, and he began to anticipate that there was some sort of emergency going on that was related to the 11th Division. Kaoru nodded his head and walked out of his room, shutting his door behind him.

“Yes, of course. Thank you for informing me.”, he said, before preforming a series of Shun Pous that brought him to the area just outside of the Central 46 Gates.

[Envy's Boy]

In 12th Division headquaters, 3rd Seat Akegata Shirofuri sat at his desk, finishing up the days paperwork. A truly annoying task, considering Shirofuri could be doing research and such, but it must be done.

It was at this moment, a knock was heard from outside the door to his office. Shirofuri looked at it before replying with a curt "Enter."

An unseated officer of the 12th Division entered the door, bowing. "Akegata-Sama, your presence is required at the Central 46 gates immidatly."

Akegata did not allow his face to betray his thoughts. Had the corrupt burecratts of the Central 46 discover him? This could proove bothersome.

"I see." Akegata said, picking up Asakiri from where it leaned against his desk, before leaving the room to head to the gate.

[Thantos-Espada]

As Sai rounded the Corner, he saw 3rd seat Kaoru moving in the same direction as him, incredibaly fast. obviously using Shunpo, Sai Quickly Vanished after his leading officer. before Kaoru stopped Sai slammed to a halt directly next to him.

"Kaoru-Sama..." said Sai, his hair the light blue-ish grey of a slight elevation in nerves.


Sai noticed how they where the first 2 members of the Gotei 13 to arrive. already 2 white clad Shinigami where stood infront of the open gate, large spears in their hands. their uniforms where different to normal Seretei guards.

Sai simply took them and the rest of scenery in.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Weng-si, Current secretary head of the Central 42. his dutys normaly are spreading bad and good news to the leaders of the Gotei 13.

but his role as of late was head tracker of the Shinigami that where casuing the deadly onslaught upon the Seretei, even the Rukongai was beign effected.

Weng-si simply stroled quite silently down between a circular room, seats surrounded te walls forming complex Rings slowly coming too 3 desks in the middle. the Central 42 chamber. of the 3 seats 2 where currently occupied.

Lorando Awaki, the head of the Central 42.

Nikia Mosuka, Deputyhead of the Gotei 13, and inbetween of the Gotei 13 and the central 42.

Weng-si smiled as he walked past, the beams of light hitting his head as he left the building, headed down the long path that would bring him to the gates where the goatei 13 where asked to meet.

[Shdo]

"It has to be somewhere around here," the courier searched at the basement of the 6th division for his target, "there is nothing here but the division furnace…I better move to the next officer in the list…" the noises of dragging interrupted his thoughts.
He turned around and saw the wall behind the furnace opening inward, as if something behind the wall had pushed it. He approached the new opening with a growing sense of fear.

"Is someone there?" he asked, but all he received In return was a low growl, "I have orders to inform all ranked officers to go to the central 42 gate," he was hushed by a voice which was clearly not human.

"I'll be there, now leave, I am still eating…" the sound of crunching bones was still heard.

The courier sighed in relief and left. After a few minutes the feeding noises ended and the massive lizardling emerged from his hidden room, dressed in his shinigami uniforms and carrying his meter and a half long weapon by his side. He hissed and sniffed at the air…there is something important about this day.

He headed out.

[Hiraeth]

Still on the Twelfth division grounds, Akegata Shirofuri was interrupted by a timid voice calling his name.

"Th-third seat Shirofuri-sama!" The person it belonged to was a young blonde girl with interesting looking pigtails. Her name was Kiku, and she was an unranked member of Twelfth Division. She bowed as Akegata approached her "I am sorry to interrupt you sir, but I was hoping you would permit me to ask you some questions regarding some research I am doing."

Suddenly her eyes widened "Ah wait, you were walking towards the gates of the division, so you must be going on an important mission, you obviously don't have time to talk to me about my research." She bowed again "I'm sorry for wasting your time sir."

Kiku would never admit it, but it had taken her days of gathering her courage to approach her third seat with this request. She'd unconsciously started following him around, in the hope that somehow she'd get the chance to talk to him.

[Thantos-Espada]

Weng-si approached the gate's it was 10 minuets before the meeting was schedueld. He had prepared the speach he was to give. It saddened him to know one of his students was capable of sutch destruction.

The Gotei 13, where facing their most deadly enemy yet. What this enemy was, nobody but the central 42 knew. he placed one Slightly qivering palm above his eyes, to sheild his nocternal sight from the blazing light.

He frowned, long and deep, as the 2 guards grabbed hte handles and Pulled the gtes slowly open.

[Envy's Boy]

Still on the Twelfth division grounds, Akegata Shirofuri was interrupted by a timid voice calling his name.

"Th-third seat Shirofuri-sama!" The person it belonged to was a young blonde girl with interesting looking pigtails. Her name was Kiku, and she was an unranked member of Twelfth Division. She bowed as Akegata approached her "I am sorry to interrupt you sir, but I was hoping you would permit me to ask you some questions regarding some research I am doing."

Suddenly her eyes widened "Ah wait, you were walking towards the gates of the division, so you must be going on an important mission, you obviously don't have time to talk to me about my research." She bowed again "I'm sorry for wasting your time sir."

Kiku would never admit it, but it had taken her days of gathering her courage to approach her third seat with this request. She'd unconsciously started following him around, in the hope that somehow she'd get the chance to talk to him.


Akegata looked down at this little girl. Kiku, he believed her name was. He listened to her story, asking for questions regarding her research. Then she made some form of excuse before leaving. However, as Akegata walked to the Central 46, he could still sense her reiatsu.

"You really need to work on sneaking about, Kiku-Kun." Akegata said as he turned his head to look at where the girl was hiding. Perhaps this girl could have some future use to him?

[Kaoru Miyazaki]

Kaoru landed gracefully in front of the gates leading to the Central 46. He felt a familiar reiatsu land beside him and then his name was said. He turned to look at the other beside him, taking note that Sai's hair was already the uneasy shade of gray. But he still gave a small smile.

“Sai-chan... As I've said a hundred times before, there's no need to address me with such respect. However, all formalities aside, do you have any idea what this summon is about...? I didn't think to ask the messenger at the time.”

It was a long shot, but perhaps Sai had received more information as to why the Central 46 had called on them. If not, then there was absolutely no harm in asking. But before the other shinigami could answer him, the gates began to open from the other side. Kaoru immediately turned his attention to whoever was coming out.

[Aoi Innocence]

Yukiko stared at the piles of paperwork, wishing it would secretly go away. It was the day for the top ten ranked officers to do their share of paperwork. Yukiko made attempts to escape but, eventually was caught and locked inside her office with piles and piles of paperwork. It irritated her all day long.

A knock sounded from outside her door and she swiftly stood up and answer it. As she open the door she was greeted with the presence of a low ranked officer.

"Hiyashiwa-sama, your presence is required at Central 46." She stared at him for a while before answering.

"Obviously this is something important for them to request ranked officers." She grabbed her za-panktou from the corner of her office and jumped out the window. She walked across the green grass thinking about what the situation is.

" I wonder if an intruder attacked."

[Thantos-Espada]

Sai looked thoughtfully at the floor.

"Well there was an attack in the Gate guards leading into the Seretei. the attackers nearly whiped out a whole section of the Rukongai to get to the gate, when suddenly they left in hte middles of the assult.

I know this, because i was watching, i saw the attack from the background. the leader stared in my direction but then left...."


Sai's hair changed to that of worry. a sublt moave. The other members of the Gotei 13 should arive soon. dude to the level of the attacks Sai had whitnessed, he didn't release any of the Infomation he knew except when every one was there.


Just then the gate slid open, revealing an ages hunched man, his robes showed he was a member of the central 42/46? he shuffeled slightly forwards.

"Ohayo gozaimasu, members of the 11th division"

he chuckled, a deep sadistic sort of chuckle.then he simply closed his eyes, awaiting the others.

[Hiraeth]

"You really need to work on sneaking about, Kiku-Kun." Akegata said as he turned his head to look at where the girl was hiding. Perhaps this girl could have some future use to him?

Kiku jumped "Oh, I'm sorry sir, I didn't realise I was doing it. I guess I took so long to work up the courage to talk to you that it seems a shame to waste the opportunity. Perhaps I could go with you wherever you're going? Then I could ask you questions on the way?" She looked up at him hopefully. "I won't be any trouble, I promise."

[Envy's Boy]

Akegata looked down at Kiku who had a hopeful glint in her eyes. Useful indeed.

"I do not see why not. Just stay close." Akegata said kindly, before turning back and continuing to walk in his long, purposeful stride as he continued on towards Central 46.

[Kaoru Miyazaki]

Kaoru looked at his friend as Sai told him only what he thought he should hear. His dark purple eyes widened as he was informed of the most recent attack on the Rukongai and the Seiretei gate guards. It seemed just a little strange that the attackers would leave during their assault, and even stranger that Sai had been there to witness the event.

But the Third Seat decided against questioning him further as he saw the other's hair turn to a shade that was a variation of his own. He reached over, placing his hand gently on Sai's shoulder. “Sai-chan...”

It was then that the gates before them opened and an aged man walked out. Immediately, they could tell that he was a member of the Central 46. He moved forward a few steps and greeted them, giving an intimidating chuckle afterwards. Kaoru himself was beginning to feel nervous again, and wished that the other members of the Gotei 13 would arrive soon.

[Shdo]

It dashed trough the roofs, jumping from one to the other, leaving small craters as they couldn’t support the impact and his weight, inside the buildings a thump was sounded when it landed on them. Soon it arrived at the destination, central 42.

The gates opened and a new scent reaches its snout, a troublesome scent. Beside of that there were two other scents that it didn’t recognize. It was time for its introduction.

The ground trembled as the massive lizard dropped from the sky, crushing at the ground with its 350 kg of scales, muscle and bone. As the dust cleared it stood there, a two and a half meter tall lizard dressed in shinigami clothing.

"I am Ezzo coatl, but you may call me god…"

[Hiraeth]

Akegata looked down at Kiku who had a hopeful glint in her eyes. Useful indeed.

"I do not see why not. Just stay close." Akegata said kindly, before turning back and continuing to walk in his long, purposeful stride as he continued on towards Central 42.

"That's alright, I understand, I'll just- Wait did you say yes? Thank you so much Shirofuri-sama! I will try not to annoy you."

She bowed, then ran up beside him "You may not know, but I have been researching zanpaktous that have been passed from one person to another, either by descent or by someone taking them. I was wondering if you knew anything about this phenomena?"

[Thantos-Espada]

Sai nealy spun full circle as the huge brick weighted body of Ezzo Dropped behind them, Sai's Washizaki was half drawn, but upon sight of the robes, his sword hand glided the blade back into its sheath.

the huge lizard spoke, its scaley features being the pinical of concentration for Sai.

*What the hell is this thing...* he thoguht to himself.

Sai then stood straight, when the lizard displayed some bad sence of humor by calling himself god. a god of death maybe, but not the holy dispossition that the humans beleived in. Though Ezzo wore no badge to give away his Squad or rank.


"What squad are you with..."

arched Sai his hair chinging again. moving back alone the color chart into a redy-magenta.

[Shdo]

"I am the fourth of the sixth," it sniffed at the air, "I was called here."

Ezzo moved forward, sniffing the air around sai and kouru, memorizing it.
It then caught the scent of the person who came from within the central 42, which smell still made Ezzo uncomfortable.
All scents were memorized.

[Thantos-Espada]

Sai grinned, a childish beam of happyness escaping his face.

but he also faced the Man. who was still stood their quite patiantly.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------

"We have 6 minuets before the meeting is Said to start. Please make your ways inside. there is a room set up for this meeting. please go and be seated to ease your aching legs."

The man smiled before shuffling to the Side and sending the 3 shinigami into the building with a comanding hand gesture.


"Oh by the way, welcome, Ezzo of the 6th"

[Envy's Boy]

"That's alright, I understand, I'll just- Wait did you say yes? Thank you so much Shirofuri-sama! I will try not to annoy you."

She bowed, then ran up beside him "You may not know, but I have been researching zanpaktous that have been passed from one person to another, either by descent or by someone taking them. I was wondering if you knew anything about this phenomena?"

As the two walked, Akegata listened to the girl explain her problem.

"Hmmm. Those zanpakutos. I hear this and that about them at times. They are very rare. What would you like to know?" Akegata asked her as they came into view of the Central 46 Gates. The first thing Akegata took into note was the giant lizard shinigami. Ezzo Cotal, Akegata believed his name was. Not that it really was worth mentioning.

Akegata glanced at the man, giving him a curt nod as he and Kiku entered the Central 46

[halfnhalf]

Kotone was running in a frenzy getting ready for this meeting at central 42. He wanted to make a good impression, you know look good since he was new on the block but being late wasn't necessarily the thing for good impressions was it?

He put on his Gothic style dressing, shined his boots, got his hair all washed, and put his zanpakuto to his side only revealing the hilt behind a beautiful sheath decorated with gold plating and intricate designs laced with ocean blue sapphire.
Kotone, brushed the paper work he had only half-assed and put in to the side of his desk. He looked in the mirror.

"I look good!" He shouted to himself, the sound reverberated within the office of the four seat in the 7th division headquarters. It echoed off the slick and shiny gloss of the wood and that was the signal for Kotone to leave. He opened the doors and right as he walked through them, he tripped. Rather clumsily but a result of hurrying as fast as he could. He noticed the messenger outside of his door, still waiting, and fast asleep. Kotone took it as an insult, another quick and wrong assumption on his part and dashed across the perfect cement streets of Soul Society towards the Central 42 gates.

He saw all the empty offices....perhaps he was too late he thought, but he continued onwards. He saw no one around...it was really depressing and made his second think coming to the central 42 meeting but being new: he couldn't afford it. So Kotone dashed across the street like a skipping stone like there was a river and only a few rocks from one end to the other. Along the way, he was swearing to himself and making note of the time. "crap, crap, crap, crap, crap, crap, crap, crap" he said out loud as he skipped across the streets to his destination leaving pockets of circular air swirls behind each foot.

Finally the Central 42 gate was in site, along with a few figures...a lizard stood out....actually it kinda freaked him out but them again...he liked lizards.
Kotone made one huge skip to the group making an epic entrance, doing a somersault in the air and landing on two toes, he started to say "Greetings my fellow shinigami...ahh!" but was interrupted by the pain he felt ON those two toes he landed on. But in-between the shouts and cries of pain Kotone introduced himself.

"Yo! The names or if you don't want to spend ten seconds saying my name you can call me Kotone. I'm pretty new and don't know any of you so....Ill just follow you around until I easedrop your name or until you get annoyed enough to just tell me to get rid of me........or you can just tell me now? Kotone said trying to make some humor and a good impression of himself....although might not have. Either way, he didn't notice the gate or anything within other than the people there.

[Hiraeth]

As the two walked, Akegata listened to the girl explain her problem.

"Hmmm. Those zanpakutos. I hear this and that about them at times. They are very rare. What would you like to know?" Akegata asked her as they came into view of the Central 42 Gates. The first thing Akegata took into note was the giant lizard shinigami. Ezzo Cotal, Akegata believed his name was. Not that it really was worth mentioning.

Akegata glanced at the man, giving him a curt nod as he and Kiku entered the Central 42

Kiku nodded "Well surprisingly there's been very little research done on them. I've been trying to work out how they transfer from person to person, whether the person's spirit already takes the form of the hereditary zanpaktou's spirit, or whether that spirit zanpaktou somehow replaces a previously existing spirit, or if in fact the zanpaktou is somehow retained by the same spirit which has simply returned to existence during a cycle of reincarnation."

"I was wondering mostly if you knew of any people not from noble families who possess these types of blades. I've sent requests for interviews to the members of noble families who possess them, but I've been refused access every time, so I thought perhaps shinigami of more common stock would be more willing to be interviewed..."

She trailed off as they came to the gate and stared up at Ezzo for a moment before turning to Akegata and whispering "Is that, is that a giant lizard? We have those?" She peered closer at Ezzo's enormous body "Is it intelligent? Do you know if it is dangerous? If I cut off its tail do you think it will grow back? Would mind if I tried to find out?"

Kiku's barrage of whispered questions was interrupted by the arrival of a new shinigami. She glanced up to see if Akegata would reply to this strange person, intending to follow his lead.

[Kaoru Miyazaki]

Kaoru almost shrieked as something crashed to the ground behind them, causing small tremors of impact. He turned around, immediately hiding behind Sai when he saw the massive lizard shinigami. Needless to say, he wasn't at all familiar their new arrival. Hell, he hadn't even known there could be such creatures here. But then again, it spoke in perfect human speech and introduced itself.

Slowly, the Third Seat peeked around Sai's shoulder, only to jump as Ezzo began sniffing around the two of them. Finally, he calmed down as the tension in Sai's body disappeared and his friend smiled. If Sai was all right with the way things were, then there was no reason that he shouldn't be as well.

It was at this moment, the Central 46 member spoke to them once again. He moved aside so that they could enter the building. Kaoru let out a soft sigh of relief and slipped his arms around one of Sai's before starting to walk inside with him. There was movement behind them and he knew that it was Ezzo following them in. However, before they were even inside the door, more of the Gotei 13 started to arrive.

There was a rather energetic shinigami who introduced himself as Kotone, though he didn't tell them which Division he was with. Not that it actually would have mattered. Kaoru finally smiled, taking a moment to give his own name to Kotone. “Hello there. I'm Kaoru Miyazaki of 11th Division.”

He then noticed two others walk up to the group. A quite man and a talkative girl. Some of the questions the girl was asking were, well... Kaoru didn't think that Ezzo would be too happy becoming a subject of study. But it seemed the girl wasn't too interested in talking to anyone besides the man that she was with so he merely turned around and walked inside with Sai.

[Aoi Innocence]

Central 46 gates were in her sight as Yukiko ran towards her destination. When she entered that gate she will make sure to thank them for freeing her from paperwork hell. She skidded to a stop and peeked in through the open gates. She could see some of the other Gotei 13 members and one giant lizard. A shiver ran down her spine but, she ignored it and walked in.

Yukiko silently passed the other members and quietly stood on the far right. She looked over each every person in the room. There were many third seats which made her shrink a little in size. From what she knew she was the only 5th seat here. it made her feel insignificant. Pushing her thoughts aside she tied her hair in a low ponytail and looked forward.

[Thantos-Espada]

Weng-si stared, his report brought alot of people to the gate, but hardly any captain classes. a disapointment, that they where to busy.

but the collective mind of these youngers might prevail. he sent everyone into the large Circular chambed, waiting for everyone to take a seat. once they where all sat down he grabbed every one attention.

(sry guys, but ive moved everyone inside, other wise itll be another 7 posts before we can go anywhere.)


"As many of you know... the Seretei has been attacked. the central 42 have had a serious discussion and we know this threat cannot be controled by one squad alone. this joint operation will be simple. all of you as a group of different squads will for a unit. your now all named Kochen. everyone here is within the Kochen unit.

my name is Weng-si, head of the Central 42. the attack on the seretei was done by 3 shinigami. of unknown oragin. all we do know is the leader of these three. has a shikai abillity, and should under no cercumstances be approached. you may use the central 42 chamber to decide your plans. but you must quell this threat before it escalates.

i have very little knowledge except for 2 whitness reports. that the 3 "shainigami" came over the outer wall, so it would seem. they come from the desert behind the far east of the rukongai.

i wish you all luck. please find any way of dealing with this. the whitnesses are to handed over to the 4th division for medical trama treatment. and all evidence will be handed to the 12."

he paused licking his lips to regain the mousture he had lsot.

"Are there any questions?"



----------------------------------------------------------------------

Mean while. deep in the desert


"What the hell are you talking about. there aint no way in hell we can fight them and survive its suicide, we been happy livin out ere alone..."

the shinigami in his brown robes and face mask where like a shadow against the cave wall he was leaning against. brown on brown. as he spoke another shinigami moved into the light of the door way.

"We will take them all by suprise. these attacks will not be all out battle, we will his decisive targets. and cripple them, the revenge is our to take. the question is. are you brave enough to take it."


ashe finished the man leaning against the wall grunted...


"Nuka, go see what the shinigami are up to, they've had long enoguh to deal with the warning... approach the seretei from the west this time. to confuse them as to our location"


the girl ropped from the ceiling. un-noticed untill she moved.

"Yes"


she then leapt from the cave opening and vanished into the sands.

[Envy's Boy]

Akegata listened to Weng-Si explain the current situation and the reason they were brought to the Central 46 Headquaters. Rogue shinigami. They could perhaps serve a purpose to him. He would just have to wait and see.

And this meeting also aided Akegata in another sense: he now knew the face of the Head of Central 46 and a name to go with. So either or, this would not be a complete waste of Akegata's time.

Akegata had no questions for this man. So he kept himself calm and quiet sitting next to Kiku.

[Hiraeth]

Kiku forced herself to emulate her superior and keep quiet, despite the thousands of questions she wanted to ask the representative of the Central 46. When he'd explained the mission she became slightly concerned, as she hadn't actually intended to be drawn into anything, she'd just wanted to talk to Shirofuri-sama.

[Shdo]

This mission only confirmed again to Ezzo Coatl that humans are stupid as he always knew, renegades? Attack by shinigami on other shinigami…nothing should be expected from such a lowly life form anyways. A thinking apes, a bickering, self absorbed thinking apes.

Either way, he promised to try to be a shinigami, and futile orders are still orders so he will follow. But by no means does he wish to lead, so the massive lizard kept quiet, listening to the mammals and waiting for one of them to decide on a course of action.

Would they go directly to the desert or would they stay at the gates? Will they split? He couldn’t care less.

[Thantos-Espada]

"Yeh i got a question..."

sai stood slightly from his chair, sort of leaning on the chair infront. his hair went a light red. slowly darkening as he got more angry.


"This attack happened yesturday. why the hell are we being told now when their Rietsu trails will be gone. i would have tracked them myself if i didnt feel the need to tell some one..."




Weng-si grinned, "Because even though the attack happened yesturday, its taken untill today to gether the evidence to give you all this meeting... happy now mr.amilay-san"

Weng-si stepped down from his podeum and move through a door in the back of the room. then he was gone.

Sai was still stood, he then turned.


"Ok! who's gonna take charge, shoudlnt the highest rank do it or sommi't?"




(ok lets elect a leader i think the highest rank. due to me being really lazt, and you guys knowing how to spell them properly ^^

could everyone send me a profile message, conatain ur characters name / rank /and squad

[Aoi Innocence]

She stood there staring at the young man. Highest rank wouldn't cut it in her mind. Though they are the most powerful in this little unit it wouldn't be good if they were to lead. She cleared her throat and spoke up.

"I may see where you are getting at but, the high ranks should be better for offense. If we were to choose a leader we would need someone with the brain who could think out battle tactics and figure out the enemy's moves. Not to mention keeping us in formation, under control, and make sure we are prepared for what may happen in the future." She gazed around the room and took a great look of each and everyone's faces.

[Shdo]

"I concur, the soft one is right, rank mean nothing among officers, the 3rd of the 11th will lead us to slaughter, the 3rd of the 4th will lead us to a passive mission, the 3rd of the 12th will waste time analyzing the enemy weapon source. Or at least this is the general stereotype…the one who will be chosen need to be worthy of commanding officers from other divisions, and this doesn’t necessary means the highest level.
On a side note, I don’t want to take charge; I have zero motivation to keep you alive. Chose a leader that you trust to actually keep you alive."

With this he closed his eyes and entered what seemed like meditation or deep slumber.

[Thantos-Espada]

"i understand where your getting at aswell but, rank also means everything, do not judge my superiors due to their outwardly appearance, because if we all judged how you judge, then i doubt you'd sstill be standing..."


Sai moved, ever so slightly. before leaping over the table infront of him.


"we may not need a leader. more a superior to generaly point us in the right direction, or maybe we could all lead, and negotiate our plans between everyone... first though ya should consider the members we have here, who is good at what. if the Rogue shinigami strike again and we're still discussing it... then we wont have gained anything. so what should be do, we're not looking for leaders... Just ideas..."


(and no >.< i dont want sai to be the leader, i dun wanna control both groups of people, it'd be like playing chess with yourself... so anyone interested, like everyones said it doesnt matter about rank in this situation.)

[Envy's Boy]

"I will lead the operation." Akegata decided to let his presence be known, for he had remained silent since the meeting had begun. "Instead of allowing our enemy time while you bicker amongst yourselves, we should be focusing on them now. And if it requires me to take lead, so be it."

And on another note, Akegata wanted to see these shinigami in action. Who were the useful...who were the useless...

[Shdo]

"I prefer the 11th idea, but it doesn't matter, time is wasted," he stood up, "there are only two options, do we wait here and protect the gates or do we take the fight to their desert.
Defense or attack? What is your choice? I prefer an attack, we will have less distractions (he refers to civilians) in the desert then in the streets of eastern rukongai."

[Thantos-Espada]

"Whoa hold up... you want to go into their home, and attack them... for all we know there more then just 3. if we attack we should first recon, sending out members who can conceal their rietsu well. and they should scout the area otside the gate that was attacked..."


As sai spoke he checked over the man that was stood, his rietsu pulsed calmly. he would have a clever mind being part of the 12th, so maybe he should lead. still Kaoru was the same rank as this man, even with his timid appearance, Sai knew in combat, Kaoru would pull this man apart...


"But i will except your lead, aslong as you liste to the others. 2 heads are better then one right?"


--------------------------------------------------------------

During their conversations within the central 46. somthing stired outside the East gate. suddenly a figure shunpo'd from no where into the entranc eto the Rukongai. she then grinned under her black mask. as a large blade slid down her arm to her hand.

"Knock, knock..."

Suddenly she revealed her rietsu a huge burst of flaming power, a orangy yellow blaze surrouding her body. Suddenly members of the rukongai eastern area we're stepping out from their homes.

ther was a flash as she darted towards a chubby man stood directly infront of his house, so that the children behind him screamed.

She then leaned close to them...


"Run..."


screams and yells blazed through the area, people running towards the Eastern gate of the Seretei, at the sight of the Stampede of people, the Gate guards closed the gate in a rush, and the huge Stone gate slammed into the ground throwing dust into the air.

the citizen of the Rukongai now banged against the solid stone screaming. as from the back of the Crowed blood sprayed into the air.


The guards within the gate, panicked as they formed a hell butterfly seal, and sent it directly towards the Central 46 building. the guards prepared them seves drawing their swords.

as the screams on the other side of the gate dimmed and dimmed.


the hell butterfly fluttered intothe building Setteling gently on Akegata's shoulder and whispering the message, at witch point.

Sai had at this time already felt the rietsu serges, like ecos of death flowing into his mind.


he looked at the butterfly then a akegata,


"An attack?"

[Aoi Innocence]

Yukiko clutched her za-panktou in her hand and walked a little to the left before stopping. She rolled her neck and stared at the others.

"If we were to take the fight to them it will be a definite lost. They would use their surroundings to their advantage. We would be taken down one by one if we fall to any of their traps. Not to mention none us could probably fight in desert condition. Unless we know their territory from top to bottom, we may have no chance of winning." She sighed before continuing her explanation.

"But, staying and protecting the gates doesn't seem like a good idea either. Considering how they were able to attack the last time, they may just be one step a head of us. For all we know they may be ex-shinigami." She narrowed her eyes to the floor, her shoes becoming an interest.

"Something doesn't feel right about this enemy." She noticed the hell butterfly and immediately stood up straight.

"An attack so soon!"

[Envy's Boy]

OOC: No offense dude...but you gotta work on spelling and grammer. Lol. Try typing your posts on MS Word and copy/paste onto the forum.

IC:

Akegata opened his eyes as the message played.

"Coatl, Sai, and Miyazaki, you will head to the Eastern Gate to investigate this. Push them away from the gates for the time being. Kotone, you will investigate the areas around the gate, incase there is any weakness within it that these would-be-intruders could crawl through. Yukkiko, Kiku-Kun, you will be with me." Akegata stood.

[Shdo]

He smelt it as the butterfly arrived, blood, a very large amount of blood carried on the wind that followed and lifted the butterfly.
"Many people are killed right now at the gates, so much blood…" Ezzo looked intoxicated, "what a waste…" the 3rd of 12th, Akegata, ordered him and 2 others to move to intercept.

And so he did. As he moved towards the source of the carnage he pulled a small jar and extracted bright red paint from it, smirking it on his face, neck and hands. The patterns seemed random but to those who know those ancient languages it meant 'to war'.



((ooc: there is a very stable and good spellcheck built into the quick reply system at the right top corner, marked abc, i preffer to use word 2007 also very stable and do most of the job for you.))

[halfnhalf]

It all seemed so fast, first they were outside, he introduced himself to Kaoru Miyazaki, told Kaoru he was in the seventh squad and fourth seat and then some dude told them their objective, mission and suddenly a reitsu overtook everyones senses. You see being deaf has its benefits, mostly another sense is instead increased. Kotone's reitsu detection increased; almost like a sixth sense, he could tell the rough strength and even gender and age. From the reitsu he felt earlier, he could tell it was a woman of a pretty good strength.

Then the hell butterfly appeared and suddenly orders were barked at him, like he was barely there. "Is this what the gotei 13 is like?" Kotone asked himself. Wanting to talk to the apparent leader Akegata, Kototne walked up to him and revealed the information and his opinion.

"Hey, umm well I'm deaf as a result I can sense reitsu better(occ: but can't spell it lol). I have determined it is a woman who attacked just now, I'm sure you sensed it. Also I feel that my skills and uses could be put to better use, I would hate be put into the side-line just checking defenses while you guys get some action...I don't mind it but I just do not think it would be wise to just wait for an attack, I would like to attack them myself, its just my opinion, I'm with the Lizard.....we should bring the fight to them." Kotone waited for a response but he looked at the Lizard, knowing his name he still called him a lizard.....Kotone really liked Lizards, but he had never met one who could talk and stand.

Standing waiting for a response Kotone looked at the hells butterfly, it was a good thing, he wasn't leader cause frankly, you can't read lips if the thing making sounds dosen't have a mouth....being deaf at that moment.....Kotone somewhat resented it.

[Envy's Boy]

OOC: Just to make sure you all know, Akegata is my charecter's last name. I use the traditional way, surname first.

IC:

Akegata looked down at the table, grabbing a piece of parchment and pen. He quickly wrote down, "Investigate the wall, looking for any possible breeches." He then passed it over to the deaf shinigami.

[halfnhalf]

Kotone looked at the man handing him the paper. The look on his face certainly showed his anger for this action that Aregata committed. Kotone looked at the paper, then at the man, and then at the paper again in almost disbelief.

"Hey you like to make fun of deaf people?" Kotone asked with his anger now evident

"Think I'm not as good as you, saying I can barely see, saying that I'm a deaf person with no hearing that can't be useful or productive here in Soul Society, did you tell me that I should just leave and die because I'm deaf???!!! Did YOU!?"

Kotone yelled at the top of his lungs, it was obvious to everyone around him that Aregata in fact did not say any of those things and just tried to help, not fully understanding that Kotone could read lips perfectly. It happened every once and a while, a result of much past discrimination towards him, a lack of some social skills and common sense and also a result of a terrible jump to conclusions. No matter what others thought, the anger is Kotone was about to explode resulting in some actions Kotone might regret...such as a fight.

[Dizzy]

[OOC: Just so that everybody knows, this plot thread is going to be considered a non-canon one-shot that does not exist in our RP's universe. In future canon threads, please refrain from mentioning this thread or anything that happens within it.

edit: Yes, you will still get points for it.

Also, breeches are pants. I think you mean breaches.

edit again: Forgot to mention this before, but it's the Central 46, not 42.]

[Envy's Boy]

OOC: Silence peon. lol. Whoops

IC:

Akegata looked up at Kotone, not even flinching as the deaf shinigami continued with his rant. Finally, when Akegata believed he was done, the old shinigami asked, "Are you done yet? Because we do have a mission. Now, as you were."

[Aoi Innocence]

(OOC: Thanks for the info Dizzy-chan.)

IC:

Yukiko stood by Akegata as another shinigami, who was death by the way she noted, yelled at him for basically discrimination. She sighed and stood there, waiting for further orders.

[halfnhalf]

After a long rant, Kotone realized Akegata's age...he was much older, as almost immediately, Kotone shut up, stood straighter, withrew his anger, and bowed at the old shinigami. He noticed his wise words and said "Yes, I am sorry my most humblest apology, Akegata-sama...forgive my terrible rudeness, let us take up the mission."

Kotone looked at the girl beside him, in a fervent jest to befriend her he quickly shouted although he didn't mean to: "And you, whats your name?"

[Kaoru Miyazaki]

When they had first been ushered into the circular chamber within the Central 46, Kaoru had simply taken a seat beside Sai. The council member, who had introduced himself as Weng-Si, told them why they had been assembled and what their true mission was. None of this came as any real surprised to him, since Sai had told him a few of the details firsthand. He had remained utterly silent throughout the entire explaination and slowly closed his eyes as Weng-Si left them to do their business.

Immediately, Sai had jumped into action, suggesting that they elect a leader or coordinator for their new Woshen Unit. There were many verbal responses and replies up until the Third Seat of the 12 Division laid claim to the position. Kaoru had thought nothing of it at the time, and had simply decided to let Akegata-san direct them as he saw fit. After all, despite his Rank, he had never considered himself leader material. However, chaos was about to ambush them. A Hell Butterfly flew into the chamber, relaying an emergency message to their new 'leader.' Another attack was occurring right now, and they were needed.

Kaoru stood up from his seat, awaiting Akegata-san's decisions and orders. Ezzo, Sai, and himself were told to go to the Eastern Gate and intercept the attacker immediately. As would be expected, Ezzo was the first one out the door. The purple-haired shinigami reached up with one hand and drew his fan from his obi, letting the metal blades fall open before holding it properly. He spared a calm glance over to Sai before moving to follow their Lizard companion out onto the battlefield. There was little doubt in his mind that his friend was following behind them.

Almost as soon as he was outside, the Third Seat unsealed his Shikai. "Blossom, Hanamaru! Unfold your petals...", he called softly. His fan then transformed itself into an ornate ringblade with an elegantly carved handle, which he was now holding. The blade itself encircled his body and he appeared to weild it with expertise. He continued running, soon catching up with Ezzo-san. For once, he found himself not hesitating before going into a battle... "That's strange...", he muttered quietly to himself.

[Aoi Innocence]

She giggled at the boy's antics and stared him in the eye. She placed a smile on her face just for him.

"I'm Hiyashiwa Yukiko." She stated. After saying her name she quickly glanced over to her leader and waited for him to give orders.

[Hiraeth]

Kiku had followed Akegata out of the building, despite the terrible feeling that she was in way over her head. She wondered if he actually knew anything about her, it was unlikely, considering how many shinigami were in the division. She waited until the deaf shinigami had started talking to the girl from Fourth Division, before leaning in to address her division's third seat.

"Akegata-sama, I think it might be best if I left. I will be of little to no use to you in a fight, and will probably just end up getting in the way. I am sorry I followed you out here, I didn't realise the seriousness of the mission."

She bowed her head in shame.

[Thantos-Espada]

Sai was still stood on the podeum. staring at the open door the people where flooding out of. Somthing didnt seem right. There attacking an opposite gate to thefirst, maybe trying to throw the team of guard. but no, he pushed it from his Mind. as he leapt from the podeum.

He jogged outside. the long path to the Central 46 gates rested infront of them. some of their team where going to investigate, and some where going to fight. He was happy Kaoru's Shikai was released, Sai felt the energy he had felt during his fight, the purpose of Proving yourself. and sending a message to your enemy. he felt the rietsu from the gate, so maybe she could feel theirs

"Rip them apart, henna"

like some sort of right the members of the 11th took straight away was to finish this quickl without killing their opponent. He let the blazing inferno of rietsu rise into the air, his great sword resting on the floor.

Sai blasted into the air, using shunpo while in mid air like a sort of flight. untill he cought up with Kaoru adn Ezzo. the rietsu of their soon to be opponent was intence, nearly as strong as a 5th seats.




---------------------------------------------------------------------------


The woman stopped, the last member of the crowd shudering infront of her. se leaned down, the bloody sword dripping red sin into the ground.

"See, they lock you out and leave you to Die... the shinigami only look out for themselves..."


sh epointed sideways with her still seale sword. "go, run and live your life, while i remove this door"



She grinned, "Rise, Seno-morri" her sword changes shape, changing, modifing. in her hands no longer is an elegant blade. her left forearm was covered in steel, the huge bladed claw where her hand once was. like a scorpion. except longer, mixxed with a sword.


She pointed her new arm at the gate infront of her. a large glow of forming energy emitted from her claw, then in a flash the beam smashed into the door, the strength of a cero was being released, in a concentrated beam of Energy,


She fel tthe shinigami getting closer their buring rietsu giving them away.

[Envy's Boy]

Kiku had followed Akegata out of the building, despite the terrible feeling that she was in way over her head. She wondered if he actually knew anything about her, it was unlikely, considering how many shinigami were in the division. She waited until the deaf shinigami had started talking to the girl from Fourth Division, before leaning in to address her division's third seat.

"Akegata-sama, I think it might be best if I left. I will be of little to no use to you in a fight, and will probably just end up getting in the way. I am sorry I followed you out here, I didn't realise the seriousness of the mission."

She bowed her head in shame.

"No." Akegata said to her as they left the building. "You'll remain as part of the reserve team, should something happen to those four. And besides," Akegata looked at her over his shoulder, "I'm sure you have more questions for me, no?"

[halfnhalf]

After Kotone introduced himself to Hiyashiwa Yukiko,he saw the people leave, and bent on accomplishing the older shinigami's orders, the leaders order's; Kotone skipped out of the door with his shunpo. He saw that only two were left behind, right before exiting Kotone said "be back in a while" it was just loud enough to be heard, but he just felt he had to say it.

Kotone blazed right past any of building flanking him for he never liked running on top of buildings despite the sight advantage. He was going to go to the walls as soon as possible but not before he stopped at the 7th division headquarters for some.....items.


(occ: kinda random but I'm litsening to this while writing....I almost always do: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofNGn1bBr3w)

[Thantos-Espada]

(Lol OOC i alway listen to these. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-fXxmWK4eM and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMZ9E6w0MOs I dunno why but i love the Hyme style of music with the heavy backing. i think their kick ass fight scenes backing music.)


Sai Stoped, 100 meters from the gate. He felt her Rietsu burning through the gate. he squinted at the gate, the 2 guards also staring at the glowing circle... Then sai Understood.

"Get Down!!!"

he yelled, grabbing Kaoru's collar and dragging him down. as the Beam of light and heat smashed through the gate, Vaporising the Guards before their Eyes. when the dust and ash had settled. he saw a figure in the hole, striding out into the Light.


"What the? Prepare yourselves..."

Sai stood again, the wobbling mirage of the now heated dirt floor. bluring his vision. he Grinned first at Kaoru, then Ezzo. then at the target, the woman striding towards them, he huge rm like a cannon beside he dainty body.


"Rip her appart henna..."


The sword warped and changed, the bloody chains swinging to and frow, as he held the sword out infont of him, only waiting for Ezzo to release to Shikai. every step the woman took her rietsu seemed to increase.

[Hiraeth]

"No." Akegata said to her as they left the building. "You'll remain as part of the reserve team, should something happen to those four. And besides," Akegata looked at her over his shoulder, "I'm sure you have more questions for me, no?"

Kiku blinked up at him with wide eyes "Well, yes, sir, I have lots of questions, but is now really the time? Shouldn't we be preparing in some way?"

[Shdo]

Everyone released their shikai...including the enemy. Ezzo decided not to release his, there was little point for that before blood had been shed.

"she use a big cannon...lets sorround her, she will be able to attack only one at best...first we draw her into the nearby buildings then we bait her to waste time on this one," he pointed at kaoru,
"then i attack from above, slamming at her and hopfully make her evade, only to have you waiting for her with your chains," he pointed at Sai, "if this fail we can simply start ganging on her till she dies."

[Kaoru Miyazaki]

(For some reason, I only listen to music from the Death Note anime when I'm writing replies to RPs, heh.)

Kaoru had stopped when the trio was just a little ways away from the gate. He definately felt the reiatsu from the enemy, who was just outside. But then something else caught his eye. A glowing circle was slowly forming within the gate. Before he had time to ponder on what it was, he felt Sai grab the nagajuban of his Shihakushou and pull him down to the ground. He then realized why the other had done so.

The circle errupted in a wellspring of concentrated reiatsu, which quickly ended the lives of the guards who'd still been standing. Kaoru clung to Sai as the scenario played out before their eyes, grateful that his friend had analyzed their situation a lot faster than he had. Then they saw their current target; a young woman who appeared to have some sort of cannon attached to her arm. It was clearly her weapon of choice. He heard Sai tell them to prepare for the inevitable battle.

The Third Seat pushed himself to his feet slowly after his Sixth Seat had done so. Fortunately, Sai was still able to grin, even in these conditions. Kaoru watched as he unsealed Henna and held her out at their enemy. She was approaching the trio, her reiatsu almost seeming to grow with each step. He listened closely as Ezzo began to tell them a suitable battle strategy. They had to lure her into the surrounding buildings, and then he would fight her first as a distraction. All he had to do was avoid a direct shot from that cannon arm of her's. No problem.

[Aoi Innocence]

Yukiko could feel bursts of reiatsu all over the place. From what she could tell, most of her fellow shinigami released their shikai already. The other ever-growing reiatsu must be their enemy. She swallowed down a gulp and kept her composure. This enemy wasn't like any other. It had a frightening reiatsu. Shaking her head she stayed silent and closed her eyes, thinking.

[halfnhalf]

(occ: thats what I meant to say Kaoru, glad to see another fan of one of the best animes)

Kotone felt the surges in reitsu almost immediately after he had reached the 7th division headquarters. He knew they had unleashed their shikais along with their opponent...the girl. Kotone could estimate the shape of her reitsu, as it condensed into a shikai it looked as though it was a cannon but Kotone didn't believe it and dismissed his senses.

He dashed into his office, picked up his item and ducked around the corner only to see the same messenger still asleep there....he was either really tired or dead, either way Kotone still offended by the mans actions left him to sleep.

Kotone dashed out to the gates. Now Shinigami were all around him senseing the immediate danger. They looked confused, even as Kotone flew by, skipping Zanpakuto in hand.

"Don't worry people, we have it under control" Kotone knew this was true but the secrecy of the mission was now very much dissolved. The only thing keeping the shinigami from joining in the fight were strict rules and regulations.

Kotone hoped he wasn't too late and an intruder already breached the gate...it would be terrible he thought. It might even cost him his position, and at this thought, Kotone dashed even faster maximizing his speed with shunpo....although it was more graceful than fast.

[Thantos-Espada]

"Very Well, But before tactics take a stride in this battle' we should simply try to kill her, if that fails then tactics can come in. Work as a group and take advantage of the oppening others make. True, she has that arm. but its not just a ranged weapon. you can tell by the bladed edges on those claws"

Sai stared at the others.

Widening his stance, he was going to try somthing, somthing knew. stabbing henna into the ground. 4 chains slithered into his arm. Causing his rietsu to Exploud in a 40% rise.

"Go, while i distract her, strike in any wy possible..."

the 5th chain lay limply in Sais hand. as he began to swing, and then rotate the chain above his head, as the Rietsu flowed into the chain, and it seemed to gain length going from 8 - 16 meters.

the pinkish black rietsu flowing from henna made the circle the chain drew in the air a black ring.

"Go!"


Sai lashed forwards, sending the formed Disk of energy straigt at the target, as it flew through the Air he saw her arm rise. and then a spark, the next ting he knew he had been thrown about 10 foot backwards yanking the sword from the ground.

"Did she reppel it?"

[Shdo]

that is why he hated to work with the 11th, no planning, no foresight, no team work, somehow they did had a I in teIam. if they just want to charge in like a bunch of babbons then they can have Ezzo share as well, he will not take part of a plan, or lack of one, that will tarnish his divine glory.

"if you insist on just rashing in on an unknown enemy then count me out, ill wait my chance or until you will come with a sound plan, i will not waste the suprise she will have when seeing me for the first time on a mindless attack."

Ezzo slipped into the alleys between the buildings, he will wait till she will press on.
as for the 11th division, as of now they were more of a hindrance then a benefit.

[Thantos-Espada]

"brainless reptile..."


Sai grinned, He saw the huge lizard slither off into teh Shadows, whats the point in wasting time, if you can finish the battle with one blow. after all fighting is the best way to "Know" your enemy.


Sai still only had one chain free. so he decided to go for full Melee combat instead of using his abillitys, his 40% increase in rietsu Was putting his nearly on equals to this women.

"Bring it!"


He darted forwards, as her arm rose, Sai saw the glimmer of light as a beam of rietsu blasted towards him, Sai stared, as the huge blast his his shoulder and sent him hurtling into the wall at incredible speed.



(OOC- Im going away for a while not long, just a few days, but i wont be able to post, and i dont want anyone to wait for me. So Sai gonna get knocked uncontious, I'll leave my Basic plot idea with Kaoru and Hiraeth aswell as mystic and Dizzy.

i hope to see this thread still active whe im back^^ And goodluck all)

[Shdo]

as expected, the 11th plan, or lack of one, failed. now they were only 2 of them. actually, there was only one. kouro was left alone to fend against the invader while Ezzo kept to the shadows, planning a new plan to take the target out.

a plan that would most likely put the soft one in great danger.

[Kaoru Miyazaki]

Kaoru was just about to put Ezzo's strategy into action when he heard Sai start talking about another option open to them. Instead of manipulating their enemy into a trap, they could also simply attack her head on. Yes, that sounded about right for Sai's train of thought. Not that it was all that bad of a suggestion. But now he didn't know who to side with. He stepped back as Sai released Henna's chains, attempting an entirely new technique. The Fifth Seat's reiatsu was given a boost, which his team mates could easily detect. Sai then ordered them to attack while he provided a distraction.

Kaoru bit his bottom lip, uncertain if this was really going to work or not. Hanamaru suddenly kicked up a gust of wind around him, telling him to at least have a little faith in himself. Through the gales flowing around him, he saw Sai launch his attack. Their enemy raised her arm once more and the attack was repelled back at its owner. Sai was thrown back, his sword roughly pulled from the ground. His dark eyes widened slightly, but quickly turned to focus on the woman once again. Somewhere near him, he finally hear Ezzo's voice again. It seemed their God-like reptilian wanted no part of their head-on attacks. He turned his head just in time to see Ezzo disappear into the buildings nearby.

Sai didn't seem to mind all that much that their lizard companion had just basically left them to their own devices. In fact, he decided to try his technique again. The Fifth Seat dashed forward and the woman raised her arm as she had done before. There was another burst of reiatsu from the cannon and this time, it hit its intended target. Sai was struck in the shoulder and sent hurling back into a wall with an audible 'slam.' Kaoru watch the scene unfold from a distance and was left shocked by the outcome. He tore his gaze away from Sai sliding down the wall; he'd been left unconscious from the impact and his shoulder looked to be in ruins. At this point, there was only one thing going through Kaoru's mind. 'I have to lure her away from Sai, into the buildings where Ezzo is hopefully still lurking...'

The Third Seat gripped Hanamaru's handle and swirled the ringblade once around his body. Three crescent attacks from the surrounding wind were then sent flying straight at their enemy. She dodged them and prepared to fire another shot at him. Kaoru called on Hanamaru to form his protective dome shield, and waited for the shot to be fired. The woman launched it and the dome almost shattered under the impact but withstood the majority of the force. He was already slowly moving towards the alleyway where he'd seen Ezzo last, hoping to lure her in with him. Fortunately, she now seemed more interested in him than she did in finishing off Sai. 'Come on... That's right.', he said, disappearing into the shadows. Cannon-girl stepped in behind him, looking around for her new target.

[halfnhalf]

Kotone was checking the area around the walls as he had been told. They seemed fine, Kotone however erected a barrier around some parts he had deemed vulnerable and weak. Kotone had dabbled in barrier kidou arts as a side to reinforce his restraining arts skills, and he wasn't too bad at it.

He felt the spikes in reitsu, from his shinigami companions, but Kotone didn't pay attention until he felt an extreme decrease in reitsu from Sai, the girl infiltrator had surely done him a number....that when Kotone wondered if he should go and help the others...the thought lingered in his mind as he worked.

[Shdo]

As the female intruder stepped far enough after the little one the plan was ready, she was at his scaly hands. The wall beside her started to crack and then it bursted as the beast came from within the building, roaring at his prey.


His sword clashed with her arm, sparks filled the air, her look said it all 'what the hell are you?' but his face didnt said anything, there was no expression to them, not one humans could read.
as he used more and more strength he forced her to wield but couldnt subdue her, but this wasnt the plan...


the wall behind him started to crack, "do you see...we are both stuck here, me pinning you down and the building i came from was distabilized beforehand...by carrying your shikai you becon yourself like a comet in the night sky and i on the other hand didnt even used my shikai, keeping my energy low..."


"FOOL! you will die here with me!" she yelled at Ezzo.


"speak for yourself soft skin...lets see how you handle this without scales...stupid things...keep your hard bones covered by soft flesh and skin..." the building crushed on the two combatants, clouds of dust covered the area. and there was only quiet.



((well, i need to go for a week in 1 day so its better to make my character go MIA for a time.))

[Aoi Innocence]

Yukiko gasped as she felt one of her comrade's reiatsu disappear. A smooth hand ran through her dark locks of hair and she let out a shakily sigh. The reiatsu was at a very high point from where you could sense down in the Maggot's Nest. Now it disappeared appear without a trace. Yukiko bit on her thumb nervously and silently wondered how strong their enemy really is.

[Kaoru Miyazaki]

Kaoru remained concealed in the shadows of a nearby building, watching in shock as Ezzo executed his attack. But the 6th Division 'God' had taken a serious risk and it had in turn taken its toll. The building that the lizard had errupted from began to collapse, landing on both Ezzo and the woman. Both of them were trapped beneath the ruins and rubble. At least, he assumed that they were. Ezzo's spiritual signiture seemed to disappear entirely, which made Kaoru extremely concerned. Slowly, he walked towards the mass of destruction, not really expecting to find them alive.

However, there was a sudden explosion. Shrapnel and debree were sent flying in all direction. A particularly sharp piece of reishi concrete slashed through Kaoru's cheek as it hurled past him. He recoiled, having recognized the blast as that of the woman's cannon. 'Damn it... She's still alive...', he thought while preparing to attack her on his own. Neisa pulled herself from the remains of the building. She appeared wounded and severly battered, bleeding from her head and arms.

Kaoru took note of this, hoping that she'd be unable to withstand another battle. He summoned Hanamaru's gale and called upon a kidou to restrain her. "Six Rod Light Restraint!" Six thin, but wide, beams of light slammed into Neisa's midsection, holding her in place. Neisa looked at them, shaking, her eyes wide. "What the hell is this!?", she screamed. The Third Seat gripped his ringblade's handle, spinning it and unleashing another wave of crescents directed at the cannon attached to her arm. They cut through her arm, just above where the cannon took over. She screamed in agony as it fell to the ground with a sound thud. Blood sprayed into the air just a few moments before the woman fell unconscious.

This battle was over for now. The prison rods continued to hold their target, and Kaoru was sure that it was all right for him to leave her there until he could get to Sai and take him to the Fourth Division Medical Center. He did so, immediately returning to Neisa's location. After a few moments, he decided to use Hanamaru's gales to search through the ruins for Ezzo. Unfortunately, his search turned up nothing... But there was nothing more that he could do. He resealed Hana into the fan, placing it back in his obi. Then it was time to transport Neisa and her disassembled cannon back to the Woshen. Kaoru was hesitant at first, believing that it might have been better just to kill her but he was just so uncertain. Akegata-sama could decide what he wanted done with her instead.

[halfnhalf]

After erecting countless barriers along the walls and made sure that the walls were intact...met the requirements and the spirit particles around them were in good condition, Kotone sensing the spikes in reitsu decided to make his way over to where the others were....against his orders but attune to his moral guidance; he just felt he had to do it.....perhaps it was Death itself who had beckoned him.

Kotone used shunpo to skip and make his normal dashed along the shinigami complex, into the outer perimeter of the walls he had so diligently checked. As Kotone passed countless buildings, he checked his belongings: his zampakuto was there riding and swinging as his body flew mid-air, he checked his sash to make sure it was tight, his buttons to make sure his clothes were all good....didn't want to have to go through that experience again...............anyways everything seemed to be in check. Finally Kotone checked for the item he had gotten from his desk in his office inside the 7th division headquarters....all was in check, and now only a fight lay ahead.....and the death that came with it.

[Shdo]

When the rocks fell they slammed into Ezzo hide, causing minimal damage but pushing him downward, actually they pushed him beneath the street floor into the sewer system and sealed the hole he came from, without a way back Ezzo had to continue and find a place far away from the battle zone to emerge from.

He started to walk.

[Thantos-Espada]

Sai's eyes fluttered open, as he looked over the slightly blury ceiling. instandly he tried to stand or move from his possition, only to fall 2 foot onto the neatly carpeted floor.pulling down a table as he crashed.

his eyes where fuzzy, and the edges of his vision where blured. pins and needles consuemed his whole body, as they tingled.


Sai rolled onto his back, and decided to wait for the problems to pass.

[halfnhalf]

Kotone walked onto the field of broken buildings and crumbling debris. It seemed as though everything was fine, finished with his perimeter inspections, he dashed along the field. Kotone had arrived on the scene as a slave to his moral fibers in his body that had sensed the drop in reitsu and pulled his body to his current location.

Kotone seeing that everything had been taken care off, or seemed that way, began to make his way back to Central 42, and back to Akegata-sama as Kotone called him. Kotone walked past the debris and saw that some places had been disturbed....unaware of Kaoru's previous work....Kotone thought that something bad had happened and all of his comrades had been killed or captured...Kotone began to walk back to Central 42, depressed, sad and with bad yet false news.


(nice your back! it kinda stopped after you left...now....LETS GET THIS SHOW ON THE ROAD!!!!!!!!!)

EDIT: ok....kinda fixed it....yea that carpeted thing really confused me...i thought he was lying on the carpet of the building that crumbled onto him.....my bad

[Thantos-Espada]

(NP^^ and thanks)


Sai's body was more revialized now with a somewhat funny feeling that he had forgotten somthing, but his memory was fuzzy and had to understand.

he slid up the side of the bed into a sitting possition propped against the bedding, the fallen table laying on the floor next to his feet.

"What the hell happened"

he said to himself.

------------------------------------------------


"Damn it! I told you it was a bad idea, now Neisa is dead. you idiot, why do we even follow you. your wisdom and leadership is more dusty then the desert outside."


the large man stood in the cave mouth the sands boucning off his face. turning in to face the other he had been adressing. his eyes like glowing gold discs of light.


"Calm yourself. Neisa is not dead, even though both you and the shinigami think so. shes a tough child and will still be on her mission to stir up chaos. the shinigami are moving, the think themselves safe behind walls and plans. but we shall show them."



-------------------------------------------------------------


Back at the rubble building. a faint rumble emitted from the rocks, then suddenly a beam of energy Smashed through stone into the air, following it was a pale hand. As a coughing bloody Neisa pulled herself from the rubble. and rolled quite harmfuly down the pile to the ground. Her rietsu was still being cloaked but the beam would have caused a flare on the shinigami sences, she had to find cover fast.


She managed to pull herself to a slumping stand possition and gentley jogged into a nearby building, inside where empty beds and cuboards. one of the empty squad barrackses. Neisa slipped into one of the wardrobes, and concealed her rietsu, while sliding into a crouching possition alowing her body to rest.

[Kaoru Miyazaki]

(Might want to edit your last post too, Thantos. Because Kaoru already took care of Neisa as well. He immobilized her and cut off that cannon arm of her's. Then he brought her and the weapon back to Akegata-sama because he just wasn't sure of what to do with her at that point.)
_____

Sai's body was more revitalized. He had a somewhat funny feeling that he had forgotten something, but his memory was fuzzy and hard to understand. He pulled himself up the side of the bed into a sitting position, propping his back against the bedding, the fallen table laying on the floor next to his feet.

"What the hell happened?", he said to himself.

Right then, a young member of the Fourth Division walked into the room, jumping in surprise as he saw that Sai was awake. "Oh... Amilay-san, you're up! Are you all right? How are you feeling?", he asked, while putting the table back onto its legs. Sai repeated his question and the young man nodded before answering him again.

"You were brought here by Miyazaki-san. He said that you'd been thrown into a wall pretty hard. You might even have a concusion... But aside from that, you only have some bruising along your backside." He then offered to help Sai back into his bed.

[Magest49]

Crimson kicked off the 11th Division's roof. He was fed up with sitting around all day and decided it was time to move. As he landed on the ground his sheaths rattled together making him think of the last time he had used them. 'Oh well..' he thought as he brushed the thought away. Turning the corner he started toward the Central 42 Gates. Maybe he'd find something to do around there.

[Kaoru Miyazaki]

Kaoru had just arrived back at the Central 46 with Neisa and her cannon arm in tow. He finally dispelled the Six Bars of Prison Light, setting down the weapon. Thankfully, the girl was still unconscious. The Third Seat sighed. "No one's here right now... What the hell am I supposed to do with her?", he wondered aloud. It was then that movement caught the corner of his eye and he turned his head in its direction. There was another shinigami with bright red hair walking towards him. 'Strange... Who is this boy?', Kaoru thought silently to himself.

[Magest49]

Crimson's gaze rose from the ground to the boy infront of him. He gave a puzzled look seeing what the boy had been dragging. "What is it you've got there?" He stopped just a few yards away as he asked the question.

At the same time he wondered if he even knew this person. Crimson thought he had possibly seen him before, but couldn't tell.

[Kaoru Miyazaki]

Kaoru closed his dark eyes and tried to think if he knew this person or not. When nothing came to mind, he opened his eyes and looked at the boy. "Now, hold on a moment. Before you start asking questions, I have a few of my own. What are you doing at the Central 46? What's your name? Which Division are you from?", he said. There was this little nagging suspicion in the back of his mind that this boy might have been part of the assassins' group or something along those lines. He had to be sure of who he was dealing with.

[Magest49]

Crimson gave an annoyed look to him. He hated being the new guy 'cause this always happens. "Crimson Shenkibeto of 11th Division, 7th Seat." He held his temper in check. "I'm the new guy. I thought I might be able to find something to do around here. That's when I ran into you. Now, how about answering my questions?"

[Kaoru Miyazaki]

Upon hearing that the red-haired Shinigami was one of his own, Kaoru's guard lowered. He gave a relieved sigh before turning a gentle smile to Crimson. "Oh, I see... You're one of mine then. My name is Kaoru Miyazaki and I'm the 3rd Seat of 11th. I apologize for not recognizing you or remembering you, but you are new so... Anyway...", he paused, choosing his next words carefully.

"Where do I start? Well, recently, there have been a series of attacks on the Seiretei Gates. We believe the assailants to be a group of skilled assassins from the desert. Myself and some other members of various squads have joined together in an effort to stop them from executing another attack. This girl here...", Kaoru gestured to Neisa, "Was our first opponent. As you can see, she came out as the loser. Do you understand everything so far?"

[Magest49]

He relaxed, his temper cooling down. Listening to what Kaoru said he became surprized. He hadn't heard of any of these attacks. With a sigh he scratched his head. 'Guess I've found something to do..' he thought to himself. After Kaoru finished Crimson thought over what he heard. After a moment he replied. "Yes, I understand most of it. The only thing I don't understand is why this hasn't become openly known to all the Shinigami. I would have to think that a good number, if not all, would be conducting investigations at this time, but you've told me only a few have taken interst to this."

[halfnhalf]

After a long walk back to Central 42, Kotone immediately saw Kaoru. Waving hello, Kotone noticed a red haired shinigami and the former enemy being dragged behind Kaoru. Thinking that the red haired shinigami was an assassin wanting the body of their former comrade back, Kotone dashed to the spot where the two stood and raised his sword at the throat of the red haired shinigami. Kotone had wondered where everyone was and now he knew....a red haired assassin had infiltrated the complex and had kidnapped them....or worse...at least, thats what Kotone thought.

[Kaoru Miyazaki]

"Well... I would assume that there are those who do know of the attacks, but only a select few were chosen for this mission and most of them were either too busy or too afraid to accept it. So, our team, Woshen, would probably be grateful for your help... One of our members was injured during the fight with Neisa and another has gone missing..."

Kaoru stopped as another shinigami appeared at his side, holding his Zanpakutou's blade at Crimson's throat. He immediately recognized the shinigami as Kotone and moved quickly to prevent a serious mistake. Since the boy couldn't hear him verbally, he gently grabbed Kotone by the shoulders and turned him so that they were face to face. That way, Kotone could read his lips.

"Kotone, put your Zanpakutou away. This shinigami is not an enemy. He is a new member in the 11th Division, Crimson Shenkibeto." Kaoru paused, smiling gently to his friend. "But thank you for coming back to help me. I'm very grateful."

[halfnhalf]

Kotone's arm remained firm and his blade just close enough to draw a tiny drop of blood. Kotone was surprised by the reaction of Kaoru, the smile was enough to tell Kotone that nothing was wrong but the words that followed supported the argument. Kotone felt so embarrased but first, he removed his zampakuto.

[Kaoru Miyazaki]

Kaoru gently released Kotone's shoulders as the boy put his Zanpakutou away. "I'm sorry that I grabbed you like that...", he paused, taking notice of Kotone's confusion at his previous words.

"Oh, please allow me to elaborate further... Sai was injured in the battle and I took him to the 4th Division Medical Center. Ezzo was caught in the collapse of a building and despite my efforts to search for him, I haven't found him... I don't know what has happened to him. So, you see, I was left on my own..." His dark eyes softened. "But I'm glad that you returned."

[halfnhalf]

Kotone felt relieved as Kaoru explained the situation. But something confused him and made him quite angry. It was the lack of movement, even with injured comrades, a mission is a mission and everyone able should still be working to protect Soul Society.

Kotone turned to Kaoru with a serious face: "I'm sorry but why aren't we doing anything?"

[Magest49]

Crimson didn't move at all when the blade pressed to his throat. Only after the blade had been removed did he bring up a hand to hold his throat. A small amount of blood dripped between his fingers but stopped quickly. He listened to all of what was said, looking between the two before him, taking as much info as he could. 'Busy, busy day' he thought to himself.

[halfnhalf]

"Yes it is, yes it is, so now that I know your not an enemy...and I'm deeply sorry about that...what's your name, I'm Ishikifuma Kotone Hakachi or Kotone for short."

As Kotone finished his greeting, wishing to make a friend of such a calm person, his zampakuto began shaking...seeming to be drawn toward this person's zampakuto...the desire to combat was resonating within the air...and everyone around could feel such a vortex of emotion....maybe it were best if these zampakuto never met...perhaps fate had already decided that.

Kotone could tell that this man was very similar to him and he too shared the lust for a good battle. Perhaps an important bond could be made on this day...perhaps...as far as Kotone could tell...it would bring them each to their limits...and cause madness within the world...but for now it was only a possibility.

[Magest49]

Crimson smiled, ignoring a sudden spark of life coming from his own zanpakuto. He didn't know why but he seemed to like this guy. "I'm called Crimson Shenkibeto, but Crimson for short. I have recently joined the 11th division as you have heard."

As he spoke Ryuujin pulsed at his side. Even though Kotone was a friend, well for now, Ryuujin and Crimson both wanted to fight him. 'Maybe when it's a better time we will...' he thought. Pushing the thought to the back of his mind he looked over Kotone. "So I'll have to guess that you're taking part in this mission as well?" He smiled once again at Kotone knowing already the answer.

[Kaoru Miyazaki]

Kotone turned to Kaoru with a serious face: "I'm sorry but why aren't we doing anything?"

Kaoru moved aside and gestured with his right hand to the still-unconscious Niesa. "Well... It's because I have no clue what to do with her. Akegata-sama is not here right now and he was chosen as the Woshen unit leader. So, that's why I am at a loss as to what to do right now... I'm sorry, Kotone.", he paused, turning a fond gaze to Crimson-kun.

"Well, it seems we've all become friends. Come. Let's move into the Central 46 chambers. Leaving her out here in the open might cause a commotion, especially if she wakes up..." The Third Seat moved to pick up the injured girl and her dismembered weapon of choice. "Hmm... Kotone-kun, would you help me with this, please?"

[halfnhalf]

"Of course Kaoru, in fact I'm quite surprised you dragged her out here, that cannon...it must way a ton...literally" Kotone moved over to Kaoru, Kotone didn't understand the use of honorifics unless they were of someone much older and even if Kaoru was much older in actuality his appearance was of not much older than Kotone.

Kotone picked up the legs of the women making sure to support much of the wait, with his right hand he clasped both of the legs and then with his left he picked up the cannon, despite its appearance it was quite light...yet not light enough to wave it around all willy nilly. Kotone started to walk.

"Ok lets head back to Central, I have a feeling the higher ups got involved...since we haven't heard from any of our teammates...by the way, Crimson your welcome to join us, when you have time I have something to talk to you about."

[Magest49]

Crimson watched as Kotone worked at picking up part of the unconscious girl's body. "Let me help with that Kotone." he said as he moved over to Konote. "How about I take that cannon?" Without waiting for the reply Crimson took hold of the cannon, pulling it away so he could carry it. Placing it comfortibly under his arm while using his other arm to support the front he walked after Kotone.

...by the way, Crimson your welcome to join us, when you have time I have something to talk to you about.

"I have a feeling that not joining you guys would be out of the question by now." he said with a small laugh. "Besides, I'd like to know what it is you want to talk to me about and the faster this is done the quicker I will know."

[halfnhalf]

"Why thank you Crimson, I appreciate the help" Kotone was grateful, now he could carry each of the unconscious womens leg with one hand. He looked down at the ground...his was sure about it. He turned his head back infront of him towards Kaoru, "So are we there yet? aha-ha-ha-ha...just joking, but seriously I'm still not familiar with the streets around here"

They continued to walk...

[Magest49]

"No problem at all Kotone. I'm always willing to help a friend, even new ones." With a smile Crimson decided that the way he carried the cannon didn't suit him. Quickly he swung it upward, landing it hard on his right shoulder. 'Nice bit of weight here' he thought to himself as he wrapped his right arm around the center of the cannon. Leveling it out with his left arm he prevented himself from tipping backward. Quickly testing his balance Crimson decided he was fine, trailing after Kotone and Kauro. Crimson himself didn't completely know where they were, so rather than taking charge and leading them the wrong way he made sure to keep his mouth shut.

[Envy's Boy]

OOC: Sheesh. I constatnly forget things. SOrry!

IC:

Akegata Shirofuri walked one of the allys of the Seiretei. A simple Kidou barrier masking his reiatsu and his presence from any unfortunate onlooker. He was heading to examine these intruders himself, and the damage they caused, and if they would have any use.

Yes, a Seireitei Ally. Not in Central 46. Despite the fact that Akegata Shirofuri stood there as well.


THe 3rd Seat of the Twelfth Division was indeed there in the teams Headquaters. He waited for anyone to report news...but how was he also outside of it.

It was thanks to the ability of his zanpakuto that no one knew of.

Using a medium, a strand of hair, a bead of sweat, Akegata can use the mists of his Asakiri to create a "doppleganger" of the subject, even copy their reiatsu signature and weapons. This copy is controlled by the one holding Asakiri.

So in short, Akegata Shifouri. He would let those children go to his double with their intel while he examined himself, incase anything was missed.


OOC: The copy inside Central 46 can be an NPC.

"Damn it! I told you it was a bad idea. Now, Neisa is dead. You idiot! Why do we even follow you? Your wisdom and leadership are even more dusty than the desert outside."

Roku
The large man stood in the cave mouth, the sands brushing against his face. He turned to face the other that had been addressing him, his eyes glowing gold like discs of light. "Calm yourself. Neisa is not dead, merely captured. She is a tough child and will still be able to cause some chaos. The shinigami are moving. They think themselves safe behind their walls and their plans but we shall show them." Of course, how could he have possibly known that Neisa had gotten her cannon-arm cut off?

Soul Society, Central 46

Kotone: "Of course, Kaoru. In fact, I'm quite surprised you dragged her out here. That cannon...it must way a ton...literally."

"Oh, well... I cheated to get them both here, Kotone. I'm not all that talented at Kidou-usage but I was able to get them here through that means. Just don't tell anyone, okay?", Kaoru asked, giving a small wink at his friend. "That goes for you too, Crimson-kun."

He then moved up and hooked his arms underneath Neisa's, easily lifting her upper body from the ground. There was the wet sensation of blood soaking through his Shihakushou from where he had cut the cannon off of the girl's arm. 'Ah well, I already have blood on me anyway...' The cut on his cheek was still releasing a small rivulet of blood down his pale flesh.

Kotone: "Okay, let's head back to Central. I have a feeling the higher-ups got involved...since we haven't heard from any of our teammates..."

Kaoru nodded, helping Kotone carry the unconscious girl toward the Central 46 chamber. Crimson followed along behind them, hefting the cannon's weight as he walked.

Crimson: "I have a feeling that not joining you guys would be out of the question by now." he said with a small laugh.

Kotone: He turned his head back in front of him, towards Kaoru. "So, are we there yet? Aha-ha-ha-ha...just joking. But seriously, I'm still not familiar with the streets around here."

Central 46 came into veiw. Kaoru smiled, suddenly feeling very grateful. "Yes, we are almost there, Kotone." Upon reaching the large double doors, he shifted to free one of his hands from Neisa's arm and pushed them open. The three of them then continued on into the main chamber. To Kaoru's great surprise, Akegata-sama was standing inside, watching them. He decided to hold off speaking to him until Neisa had been set down in a cleared space. With his arms now free, he could finally wipe his cheek and talk properly.

"Akegata-sama, we've managed to capture this assailant. But it was not without its cost. Sai-chan had to be taken to the Fourth Division Infirmary and Ezzo-san was caught in the collapse of a building... I was not able to locate him after that.", he paused, gesturing to Neisa. "I wasn't sure whether you wanted her to be brought back alive or not. Oh, and we have another person joining our efforts. He's a new member to the Eleventh Division. Meet my new Seventh Seat, Crimson Shenkibeto." This time, Kaoru motioned over to Crimson with a small smile.

[Envy's Boy]

Akegata looked over at Crimson with a light smile. "Welcome, Shenkeibito-Kun." Akegata then focused his blue-grey eyes at Neisa.

"Excellent work, Kotone-Kun. YOu can bring this Ryoka to 2nd Division for Interogation. Try and find out about who we are dealing with." the copy said, the original knowing immidiatly, as if the clone's ears and eyes were Akegata's.

[Magest49]

Crimson followed the two of them through the doors. As they stopped he looked for a place to set the cannon. Upon finding a spot he set it down just in time to hear his name said by Kaoru. Turning to face Akegata he gave a small bow and smile.

[halfnhalf]

Kidou sure is amazing...Kotone said as he walked. Aside from light conversation and nods the trip was pretty easy and in no time central 46 was visible. Kotone entered saw Akegata and greeted him with a bow.

Akegata "Excellent work, Kotone-Kun. YOu can bring this Ryoka to 2nd Division for Interogation. Try and find out about who we are dealing with"

"Very well, I'll try...though I warn you...interrogation is not my forte" Kotone turned picked up the girl and brought to the interrogation room where he prompted her up on a chair, cleaned off her wounds and other blood, got a nice glass of water and threw it in her face. "Wake up!....please?"

[Kaoru Miyazaki]

Central 46, Interrogation Chamber

"Very well, I'll try...though I warn you...interrogation is not my forte." Kotone turned, picked up the girl and brought her into the interrogation room, where he prompted her up on a chair, cleaned off her wounds and all other blood, got a nice glass of water and then threw it in her face. "Wake up!....please?"

Kaoru

Kaoru peeked inside of the room before stepping over to Kotone. "Um... Maybe you should wait a moment.", he whispered softly to the other.

"You see, she's missing an arm. If you were to wake her up now, then the pain would be overwhelming and she'd only be able to scream and thrash about, most likely causing more injuries to herself or to you. I would suggest that we call someone from Fourth Division to come out and look at her arm. Then we need to tie her down and make sure that she cannot escape once she regains consciousness.", he paused, thinking.

"We need to exercise caution. Though her cannon is in the other chamber, she might still have other abilities or weapons that we don't yet know about. In fact, we'd better search her beforehand. Gosh... This makes her seem like she's more trouble than she's worth, but we need some information." The Third Seat finally took a decent breath of air.

"So, Kotone, would you mind going to the Fourth Division and finding us a healer for this girl's arm? I'll search her for weapons and then make sure she's tied down. As soon as she's conscious again, I think it should be left up to Akegata-sama to do the questioning. You, me, and Crimson-kun are much more suited to the battle field.", Kaoru smiled.

He moved over to Neisa, patting her down in thorough search for hidden weaponry. There was none to be found. 'Well, I guess that's a good thing... Now, to bind her.' Kaoru raised a hand, his palm facing Neisa. "Bakkudou One: First Restraint Obstruction." Neisa's limp form was then tied to the chair with spiritual energy. "That's done... I'm sure the Fourth Division will be able to heal her arm or at least bring her around...", he said, leaving the room.

"Akegata-sama, I'm sorry. But we'll leave you in charge of questioning the enemy. You don't have to worry about that girl. In fact, you might as well send her cannon off to the Twelfth Division as research material. As for myself, Kotone, and Crimson-kun, we'll be heading back into the battle zone." Kaoru had never been one to defy a figure of authority but in this case, he did. His tone relayed the fact that he would not change his mind.

The Desert

Vailen

He stormed away from Roku, going to find his brother, Xen. Both of his hands were clenched into fists. "Come on, Xen. We're going in there and getting Neisa away from those damned Shinigami. I don't care what the boss says.", he said, moving to grab his weapon of choice.

(OOC: Magest will be playing Xen for me. As soon as Neisa is examined, I'll play her in the interrogation.)

[halfnhalf]

Kotone was hugely relieved when Kaoru came in and told him that the woman should be healed before Akegata would question her. He wasn't suited for that line of work at all.

"Kaoru...will you accompany me to the fourth division headquarters...still don't know quite where it is." Kotone said, putting down the cup on a table. "And as for Kidou...I could have down that" Kotone was quite proud of his restraining kidou art skills...though he refrained from using them...mostly because they were more powerful for some reason...even Bakkudou One could possibly break his opponents arm...yea Kaoru was right to use his.

Kotone was enbarrased at his mistakes...he should have searched her...though he wasn't....use to such...closeness. Kotone followed Kaoru out of the room and waited...the three of them: him, Kaoru and Crimson were going some where...he hoped the fourth division first.

[Magest49]

Crimson

Crimson stayed in place. He felt that it would be best not to move until given orders too. Shivering a bit he wished he would work up the courage to up and leave. He didn't like the feel of this place. Unable to put a finger to what troubled him he looked around the room. Eventually his eyes fell back to Akegata. 'He gives me the creeps...' Crimson thought to himself. Upon hearing his name Crimson looked over to see Kaoru speaking to Akegata.

Smiling Crimson decided that it would be okay to leave and sit outside. Turning he waved his hand over his shoulder in a gesture of good-bye to Akegata and walked out the doors. When he got outside moved to the wall next to the massive doors, sitting himself down. Leaning against the wall he shut his eyes, allowing himself a moment of peace and quiet.

Xen

Xen trailed after his brother, happily skipping as he did. "Oooooo, you'll get in troooubllllle..." he said with an out of place smile. He didn't much care for the boss. Xen would rather tag along with his brother than follow boring orders anyways.

((OOC: God, you get the good power Kaoru! Make sure you tell me if you don't think this is how Xen should act. I didn't get any guidlines for him anyways. :D))

[Kaoru Miyazaki]

Central 46, Inner Chamber

Kotone: "Kaoru, will you accompany me to the fourth division headquarters...? Still don't know quite where it is."

Kaoru

Kaoru turned away from Akegata, facing Kotone. "Of course. Let's go.", he responded, moving off towards the large doors again. As the pair of them exited the chamber, he spotted Crimson-kun sitting against a nearby wall. It seemed that he was trying to relax for a few moments. The Third Seat tried to decide if he should let him or ask him to come along.

"Crimson-kun?", he called softly. "Kotone and I are headed to the Fourth Division. Would you like to come with us? Or would you rather stay here with Akegata-sama, in case there's another attack while we're gone? It's your choice."

The Desert

Xen: Xen trailed after his brother, happily skipping as he did. "Oooooo, you'll get in troooubllllle..." he said with an out of place smile.

Vailen

"I told you. I don't care, Xen. Neisa is already in trouble... She was captured by those shinigami. We can't just leave her in there...", Vailen replied, hefting his polestaff over his shoulder, narrowly avoiding hitting Xen on the head. "Now, get your dagger and let's go."

[Magest49]

Crimson

Opening his eyes Crimson yawned. "Hmmmm? Oh, I'll go with. I just needed a little me time." He laughed softly as he stood up slowly. 'At least I'll get away from Akegata..' he thought to himself. Joining the pair he smiled. "Well shall we be on our way?"

Xen

"Oh well. That's what you get if you're not prepared." He smiled, skipping ahead of his brother. Jumping up Xen turned in the air showing that his dagger was tucked into his waist. "I'm always ready to go Vailen!" He giggled, falling back into step behind his brother.

[halfnhalf]

Kotone turned his back but didn't move his shoulders to see what was happening behind. Everyone was so slow today, he had no reason why. Kotone left his neck in the awkward position "You guys coming or what?"

(just trying to move it along)

[Kaoru Miyazaki]

Crimson: "Well, shall we be on our way?"

Kotone: "You guys coming or what?"

Kaoru

Kaoru smiled, nodding to both of them. He then started walking, moving past Kotone so that he could lead the way to the Fourth Division. During the silence that followed, the Third Seat became entangled in his own thoughts.

'The situation is growing worse... One of our members has been placed in the Fourth Division's care and another has been missing for some time now... It was only by the grace of fate that Crimson-kun showed up when he did. But now that the girl is our prisoner, her allies will most surely come to retrieve her, if they don't already believe that she is dead. And Akegata-sama... I sense something... strange... about him... What should I do...?'

Fourth Division Relief Station

Kaoru

"Here we are. I hope you learned the way here, Kotone.", Kaoru said, pushing open the front door and entering the building. The two shinigami behind him followed him inside. They were greeted with the sight of several medics rushing about, carrying multiple supplies, trying to deal with several patients suffering varied degrees of injuries. One of the healers stopped, blinking as he looked at the newcomers.

Healer

He recognized the shinigami at the front of the group and walked over to them. "Miyazaki-san! I'm so glad that you came by again... Amilay-san has woken up, but I didn't allow him out of bed because he has a mild concusion and is disoriented. Anyway, what are you here for now? Perhaps I can be of help to you again...?"

Kaoru

Kaoru was relieved when the same healer he had met earlier approached him. He smiled, patiently listening to all that the young man told him. A small gleam flickered back to life in his dark eyes. 'Sai-chan is all right... Thank goodness.' After this thought, he nodded to the healer. "Yes, we require your help. Please, follow us and we will explain our situation to you on the way." With that, all four of them proceeded to make their way back to the Central 46.

(OOC: I'm sorry... I had intended to post earlier, but I've been busy... Please, forgive me. I shall try to be more adament about keeping this thread moving.)

"Here we are. I hope you learned the way here, Kotone."

Kotone nodded, "I have indeed, I'll be sure to remember this for future...navigation." He let Kaoru do the talking, upon learning of his comrade's condition Kotone felt relieved...friends injured and loose ends always made Kotone easily especially when the two were combined in one situation. Kotone followed the other three back to Central 42.

(OOC: Its cool, really I had kinda forgot myself :D)

[Kaoru Miyazaki]

(OOC: I'll be refering to the NPC Healer as Hijiri from now on. Though, I have no experience in the Fourth Division, so don't expect anything too detailed.)

Central 46, Inner Chamber

Neisa

The strange, foreign girl was still unconscious. Her dismembered arm was still bleeding, though not as profusely as it had before. There was a small puddle of blood on the floor near the chair. But it didn't appear to be a fatal injury.

Hijiri

Hijiri had listened to the whole explaination of the current situation and was more than willing to help the Woshen team. He slowly walked into the room where Neisa was being held. After a fairly quick assessment of her injuries, he started to work on healing them. His medical supply bag was laying open on the table while he continued doing his task.

Kaoru

Kaoru stood just outside of the room where Hijiri was healing Neisa. He casually leaned against the wall, eyes closed as if in thought. Finally, he came to a decision. His dark eyes opened as he pushed away from the wall, heading off to find Akegata.

"Kotone. Crimson. Stay here and monitor Hijiri-kun's progress. Tell him to wake the girl up when her injuries have been treated. He can leave as soon as that's done. Make sure to thank him for his cooperation and assistance. I'll be back momentarily."

With that said, he grabbed Akegata by the arm and bodily hauled him away into another area of Central 46. The two of them were alone then. Kaoru released the other's arm. Though he wasn't going to let him leave.

"Look. I don't know what it is about you... But I get nervous every time I see you. I don't like it. If you do anything to endanger my comrades or the Seiretei in general, then I will make sure you pay for it. I hope you understand this clearly. However, if my assumptions and accusations are wrong in the end, then I will apologize to you."

Seiretei Gates

Vailen

Vailen landed swiftly on the other side of the gate and now found himself inside of the Seiretei. He clenched his pole-staff with a growl as he looked around at the buildings and architecture. "What an awful place...", he muttered. "Come on, Xen. Let's go. We have to find Neisa." With that said, he started to dash down the street, hoping to locate their relative soon and without much effort. All the while killing any unfortunate shinigami who happened to cross their path.

[Envy's Boy]

The Mist Clone of Akegata looked at Kaoru with a bit of ice in it's blue-green eyes.

"Miyazaki-Kun, I understand your skepticism, and I do apoligize for that. But from now on, I believe we should keep such mistrust to a minimum. It will weaken us, while give the a
