"Tell me something. Why do you find it so hard to look at me? is it my tattoo's? my hair? my eyes? what? Just...it gives me the impression that you either don't like something about me or you like a lot about me and don't want to show it..." Himeko's face turned red from embarrassment as she wasn't used to being called out on it, but her problem was hardly anything he had mentioned.....She took a breath, "It's none of that....Really....I actually like the way you look believe or not....It's just that I'm not very used to this, you know?" she gazed over him, "Talking....I'm not used to it, like....Fighting, you've seen me fight and how I don't hesitate, but that's different. Fighting is completely different, I don't have to hold back anything, it's really all I've known growing up.....But....Talking, a nice conversation and all, I've really only had my father for that and we hardly talked much. So you can see why I'm not exactly comfortable looking at you while speaking....I'm not very comfortable speaking to others anyways, you're just the exception." Himeko finished speaking not noticing the nervous rub she was giving her left arm and how she looked away from him from time to time. Their drinks came and Himeko took the cup into her hands slowly sipping.

Hakuro listened as Himeko spoke, hearing about how she never really spoke to anyone but her father and himself but even that wasn't much but still it was enough to make him feel a bit special...even if it meant nothing to her it was almost good knowing he could be there for her if she wanted someone to just chat to "Well that explains it I guess..." for once Hakuro had actually not taken a compliment, he was more interested in what she was saying about how she only ever really fought and never talked. "Well I'm pretty confident when it comes to talking to people but of course it lands me in shit, I wont deny that...I get myself into fights I can't always win but it's good, it teaches me a lesson in a way...however I'm a hot head...if someone trash talks about me or challenges me I wont exactly say no...unless I know I'm entirely outmatched. Where I came from fighting was the only thing that kept me alive, my attitude and trash talk I guess broke down those awkward barriers with people...that and kicking their ass! it's not like I've been like this my entire life though...only until I was forced to fight did I change..." Hakuro then noticed himself rambling on "Eh....sorry...it's not like you give a shit about where I've been and what I've done. You've got your own shit to be dealing with..." Hakuro then grabbed his Sake and chugged it back, he then grabbed the water and poured it over himself to cool down, he then slammed the empty bottle down then spoke "Another two!!"

"Just because I have my own stuff going on....It doesn't mean I don't care about others," Himeko said, avoiding using the word you, she hoped it wasn't obvious. "But allot of people come from violent backgrounds, I guess they've grown used to the fighting....Made it something special to them, or it just changed them in a way. Sort of like you.....So if fighting is what you like to do, then fuck what everyone else have to say about it and just do it, that includes me," she said with a small smile as she took a drink of water. From the corner of her eye she saw Hakuro chug his sake and then pour his water over himself which made her slam her cup down and cough as she choked slightly on her water. "What the hell are you doing!?" she yelled at him, face turning red seeing the boy wet. She put her hand over her face as she sighed, "Oh forget it!"

As Shou got behind Rio he saw her pointing at him, Shou quickly formed a tumbleweed then leaped into the air as the tumbleweed was hit by the hado, Shou then twisted in the air, his feet facing the sky as he pointed his left palm to the sky and fired off a Hado 31 that propelled him towards Rio at great speed, as he flew towards her he twisted in the air, aiming to cut Rio anywhere or at least clash with her. She may have felt this was over but Shou wouldn't give up so easily! he still had much more he could do...

Rio Okotaru Darishimo

Rio noticed that she had hit a tumbleweed with her Hado. This immediately caused her to focus again, catching up to Shou's movements. 'Well... Looks like he isn't finished fighting me yet... Interesting use of technique' Rio observed Shou as he used a Hado to increase his speed. Without any thought, Rio flicked the hilt of her Katana up, using both hands on her sword to push it towards Shou's, clashing with it. Pushing her sword against Shou's with equal force as him, her eyes slid down to look at the boy's face before she spoke, calm and collectively. "Shou, I believe this match is finished." Rio watched him but despite declaring the end of the spar, she held her stance and sword firmly against his, just incase he refused to finish and tried to pull a surprise move. Rio had learn alot from this simple spar with Shou, one being that this boy was full of surprises....

Anges smiled and waved at Chie as she blankly blinked at her as though she was trying to consider this. Chie then moved out of Fumios arm and glared at him with a little pout as she looked up at Agnes and then headbutted her in the face. "Bullshit! Sieg killed all of them! So how dare you try to disgrace my family's name you....." Chie then grew silent when she saw Anges rub her face then saw her skin turn icey blue, which made Chie grumble. "Okay sorry about you know headbutting you." Anges simply smiled and hugged Chie which made Chie fumble around as she broke out of the hug and stare at her. "No hugging, the pervert over there does that enough anyway." Chie said pointing at Fumio. Anges spoke which made Chie blush as she pouted and for whatever reason walked over to Fumio and softly hit his arm. "No he was being a dumb old pervert."

Fumio Hari Kouineji

Fumio watched Chie move with a smile, which soon turned into a smirk as she pouted. He then watched the rest of the event unfold, his eyes widening for a minute of surprise before a large smirk spread across his lips once more. 'My~ Always so harsh~ Heheh~' He was a little more surprised at the fact that Anges wasn't even angry about being head-butted, making him think that maybe she was abit of a pushover. Fumio then just continued to watch as Anges hugged Chie and she reacted. "Hmhmhm~ I'm still a pervert to you?~ After all of this time?~" He then chuckled at what Anges responded with, pouting a little as Chie hit him softly. "What? Am I not allowed to show the woman I love some affection?~" Fumio slipped his left arm around Chie's waist. "I don't care whether other people can see or not~ They don't matter to me~ All that matters to me is you~" He smiled charmingly while looking at Chie, pulling her closer to give her a kiss on the cheek before letting her go completely and crossing his arms. "So, would you like some tea Anges? We can all go back to my room while we wait".

Chie only pouted and blushed as he kissed her on the cheek, of course it was followed by another thump to his arm. "Idiot you should care! Geesh you appear girly as hell, but you are just a big pervert like every other male. Besides you are meant to show me your affection in private dummy." Chie said looking away, when he posed his next question on Agnes, who thought about it before smiling. "Well I'm not busy, so I will take you up on that offer. Thank you very much Fumio." Agnes said with a little bow which made Chie flick her head. "hey now, don't go acting all nice like this, going to make me look like a bitch." Chie said grumbling before grabbing Anges by her hand and dragging her towards Fumio's room. "You should see the filth he tries to hide in his room, I'll prove to you he is a pervert and I'm not just talking out my ass."

Fumio Hari Kouineji

Fumio chuckled a little as Chie hit him again. "My~ I wouldn't of taken you for someone who cared about what other people think Gemstone~" He chuckled again before giving Anges a smile. "No problem Anges, it's my pleasure~" Fumio gave her a slight bow with his head in return before Chie grabbed Anges and began walking off, in which he followed at his own pace. "But sweetie you know I'm holding that stuff for you so don't try to frame me~ Besides, I don't need porn when I have someone as Sexy and as Beautiful as you Gemstone~" As he walked behind the two Fumio grinned in amusement.

Chie stopped and turned around and glared at him as she pulled out her sword. "You know what, I'm going to do what Aya asked me to, but it wont be to fix you. Its going to be because you need punishment now." Chie said grinning as Anges gulped and started to step away. "On second thought, I do have something to do, so i'll join you another time. Anges said before shunpoing away, which made Chie wave as she turned her attention back towards Fumio. "Well I hope you are ready for some hot combat.... I've been hanging around Aya too much." Chie mumbled the last part before shunpoing behind him with full intention of kicking his back.

Fumio Hari Kouineji

Fumio stopped walking, watching as Chie turned on him. This couldn't help but make him smirk however. Waving a hand half-heartedly as a goodbye to Anges, Fumio kept his arms crossed and pouted at Chie. "Aww... Why couldn't you give me the other kind of punishment~?" He wriggled his eyebrows abit before Chie shunpo'ed. Sighing a little, Fumio quickly twisted his body to block Chie's kick with an arm and hand, looking at her with that same pout. "Come on baby, let's not fight~ It's not good for our relationship~" He smiled but was chuckling on the inside. 'Such a feisty one~'

"S-shut up you dumb pervert! naughty people don't get that kind of punishment!" She said as he blocked her kick which made her back up a bit before thinking of what to do. "Fight? I said you are being punished didn't I? I don't consider that fighting at all." She spoke as she tapped her chin then smiled as she shunpoed above him and started to come down towards him, then she shunpoed back in front of him, and grinned as she went for one of her most famous moves, her tackle.

Angelo kept flash stepping towards groups of hollows like a wrecking ball making them get caught in his shield which he knew would run out soon, at this point his only worry was how his missing arm would effect his fighting style when he's forced to go into melee combat with the remaining hollows. right now though Angelo was using his speed boost to take on the hollows that were running away or were not able to get out of the way in time and soon it looked like Angelo's shield was covered in hollow body parts from the spikes as he kept moving as fast as he could waiting for the moment to take on the leader even though he felt his arm in pain he knew that his zanpacto thrived on it, it taught him to never fear pain but to embrace it so Angelo had to think of this like training with his pain tolerance for the future

Feyora ripped off the head of one of the Hollows before tossing it at a fleeing one. "Where ya going!!!?" The force of the severed head was strong enough to knock it off course for just a second. She launched after the escapee with great speed as the beast tried to regain its momentum but it was too late. Her Zanpakuto cleaved right open and without wait, she was already scanning the area for her next target. It didn't take long finding one but despite not being what she was expecting, Feyora seemed to be content with her findings. The winged Hollows covered every escape route possible, making feel as though the coward one had led her to a trap. Over twenty of them ready to battle but it would require more than that to overwhelm her. "Bakudo #21, Sekienton!!!" Feyora quickly placed her both of her hands in a downward like position before the entire area was engulfed in red smoke seconds later.

Both parties chose this particular moment to engage in battle but when the smoke cleared, only one was still standing. Covered in the loser's blood, she calmy walked away from the shredded demons while suffering a couple gashes of her own. The leader's wings finally stretched out to the fullest as it prepared to take off. "I hope you have strength left to spare or else death is imminent, foolish ones." The Hollow warned before taking to the sky. It continued to ascend upward, even breaking past the clouds with the large Hollow halting in altitude shortly afterwards. "I praise thee sacred mountain Asgurain for all of the countless centuries that it has kept me safe. But like with all good things, it must be eradicated." The clouds soon dissipated as a menacing red light could be seen from the mountain.

Angelo had finished off the weaker hollows and he couldn't hold his shield for much longer but he had to hold out as long as he could and he thought it would be over until the leader of the hollows shot towards the sky and Angelo could see the red light seeing that the hollow was going to use its seto, Angelo was is able to hold onto his shield for this one last attack but this time he had to tell her "hey bitch! think you can listen to me now?! if you don't were all dead! I will use my shield to block that seto but its up to you to kill it once my shield is gone. you think you can listen to that plan!?" Angelo asked before he dropped down the mountain going to the man who had his arm and he waited for her to get into his shield barrier cause after this seto he wont be able to use his shield again for a while so he used a health buff now so he can withstand the attack despite how much pain he was feeling in his arm he wasn't going to go down like this. He looked to her waiting for her to actually listen or die by her own stupidity as he watched the sky waiting for the seto to be shot down at them before he used what remaining spiritual pressure he had to block it

Feyora watched as the beast took far off into the sky before hearing sounds from below. "Huh? You're still alive?" She shunpoed over to the man with with a surprised look on her face. "Sure but after your shield's done, head back as soon as you can. He doesn't look like he'll last and you won't be much use as you are. And if you actually manage to bring him back in time then the man will probably praise your effo-...!!!!" Feyora quickly shunpoed behind his barrier as high amounts of Reishi soon burst from the Hollow's mouth. The high amount of Reishi formed into a thin red beam of light, piercing the center of the mountain before creating an explosion large enough to obliterate the mountain seconds later. Unfortunately, that's not what happened in the least. Upon making contact with the mountain, it was seeminly absorbed by it nearly instantly. "So this place is more special then I've previously thought. But how is that so?" The leader demon pondered before descending downwards. "Your deaths are only as honorable as the choices you make in them. So I'll only ask once, will you provide me with an honorable meal or do I have to chase my prey?"

Angelo growled loudly once his shield was gone and afterwards he lost his ability to protect himself without it. thanks to her he only had one arm to fight with and that was still a disadvantage so it was only thanks to his health buff that he was able to keep the shield going in the first place but now he had no choice, as much as he hated the idea to run he knew that in his state he wouldn't be any help as a wise man once said 'live to fight another day' so Angelo looked to her "hes all yours, but so help me if my arm cant be reattached you can bet your ass ill come back to kill you myself" Angelo growled loudly as he picked up the man with his one good arm while he held his detached arm in his mouth by the sleeve that was still attached to it. as he started to use his ho ho techniques to move quickly out of the area as fast as he could to the squad 4 barracks, now that damned hollow was her problem and he couldn't help her. he hated leaving a woman in a dangerous position but he was still pissed that she cut off his arm so he wasn't that sorry, as quickly moved towards the squad 4 barracks

Kirishin

- The Next Day -

Kirishin opened his eyes upon waking up the next morning with numerous cuts on multiple parts of his body. They were minor and it wouldn't take no time to heal them before taking his daily medical shift. And as predicted, Kiri finished just in time to get dressed for the day. "No real leads at the cost of being totally exhausted, now how am I supposed to get through the day?" He asked himself while walking over to the kitchen section of his room. There were a ton of things he could turn into a quick meal but it was too much work. Even the simplest of tasks seemed impossible after entering the kitchen.

Kirishin had to make something so it was time to get busy. Pulling out a couple kitchen utensils, he quickly proceeded to slice up four pop tarts into small little bite sized pieces before placing them in the oven. How hot should it be and how long until it should be taken out was always the hardest thing for him. Kiri could easily figure the answer out but his phobia of kitchens had clouded his judgement. "Focus...what is the correct temperature and time to put them on? 240 Degrees for exactly 49 minutes and 25 seconds? I have no time for this, I've taken nearly two hours formulating one of many probable answers to my question." Kirishin noted before putting the pop tart bites on a plate and proceeding to stuff them in the microwave afterwards.

"Just as long as you don't come back before I finally get to rip apart its flesh, then I suppose that's fine with me. But don't worry Angie, you'll be good as new and you can still try your luck with killing me. Good luck and safe trip to you both.." Feyora said, bowing in a respectful manner as he took off. All that was left was the giant winged demon and her. "And I don't communicate with evil outside of the emotions expressed from this blade. Now...die!!!!" She launched of at the Hollow in a thrust like motion before shunpoing above with a downward slash already prepared for it. The demon raised its left arm up to block the slash along with displaying the sturdiness of its skin. Her blade wouldn't penetrate so she shunpoed away right as its tail was about to silently stab her from behind. "Hado #33 Sokatsui!!!!" Feyora yelled, aiming her spare hand at the beast before firing a torrent of blue flames at it.

Both of the Hollow's wings wrapped around it in time to shield it from the attack. Once the flames ceased, the demon unwrapped itself only to have lost sight of the woman it was combatting. "Hyahhhh!!!" Her sword made contact with the beast's tail but to no affect. The Hollow quickly spun around with a left wing backhand like smack in which she tried to evade with shunpo but it was too late. The smack sent her flying to the other end of the peak before her balance could be regained. "Iron wings? You lucky bastard, I knew there was some reason why you were able to fight so many and sustain not even a scratch. But that won't stop me from shredding you!!" Feyora decided to keep her distance for the moment. She couldn't afford getting hit like that again. A couple of her bones were fractured from the smack and she tried to play off the pain but the demon wasn't buying it.

"Isn't the point of a punishment, regardless of what method you choose, to punish naughty people?~" Fumio smirked as Chie backed up, leaving him to straighten up. He kept quiet and just continued to smirk as Chie spoke and thought, but then she shunpo'ed. Looking up, Fumio prepared himself for her to attacked, but then she shunpo'ed again. Before he could make a move, a force hit his stomach, causing him to fall back and roll off of the roof with Chie on top of him. "Dammit Honey!" Fumio acted as though his was annoyed from being tackled... but truthfully, deep down he was chuckling with immense amusement, until his back hit the floor. "Ouch!" Rubbing his back as he sat up, Fumio looked at Chie with a pout. "That was uncalled for..."

As Chie succeeded in tackling him off the roof she was meet with his pouting face which she knew was probably a fake pout knowing him. She simply pushed him back down and grumbled. "Ahhh your no fun, and to think I was setting you up to prove your manliness. Oh well no punishment for you then." Chie said getting up and dusting herself off. "Well I haven't seen Aya is a while, so I'm going to go look around to make sure she isn't throwing houses around." Chie said walking off grumbling about how she probably could do it as well.

Angelo was able to make it to squad 4 barracks and he quickly called out for aid from everyone as both me and the unconscious man were wheeled inside for emergency aid the bulk off then went to help the man while a few unwrapped my arm and they quickly went to stitch it back up before using their healing kido to give me use of my arm again and I told them to give me a messenger butterfly so I could inform the captain's of a dangerous hollow in the mountain that was feasting on the man I saved and is still killing the other shinigami that's still their seeing as how I was a seated officer only a second in command our an actual captain could kill that hollow

Waiting for an answer, Aya received a different answer than she was expecting when Lucy headbutted her, causing her head to reel back a bit, before moving back to where she looked Lucy dead in the eyes again, which was then that she received and uppercut, but this Time as it connected, Aya grabbed her wrist, and grinned. "Maybe you need another hint. When i'm like this, attacks like that don't really faze me. Hence why i said, you better get serious. Before you wind up dead!" Aya said tightening her grip a bit, before swinging her left arm forward at the girls face.

Lucy raised her hand, catching Aya's fist midway. She looked into Aya's eyes, Lucy's eyes completely serioius "I already know that, but I don't want to kill you. Now listen to me, we are being watched so I have to make this quick. Your son is in incredible danger, and not from your brother but from something even worse. If you ever want to see your kid alive, then you're going to have to trust me just like his father. Hozumi will never be able to use his full potential if he stays here, there are things which he must do alone because only he can do it. I know this sounds like a load of bs, but I don't really care. Hozumi's safety comes first compared to your opinion. If you still wanna give me a whack, then go ahead. But expect the same in return" Lucy said as she released her grip of Aya's fist

Aya frowned as she caught her fist, and only growled whens he began to speak. Yet soon her frown turned to a sad look as she released her fist. "Can't I at least see my son? I need to see with my own eyes that hes alive and well, you can't expect me to just believe everything you say right? So please... all I need is to see him with my own eyes and if i see that hes not in danger being with you, then.... I will trust you with him. So please just let me see my son, I should be allowed that much right?" Aya said soflty her skin changing back to its pale color as she looked at Lucy.
