- Squad Eight Barracks -

"What the fuck is this!!!? You took one of them hostage!!? Now since we took one, we're pro-Oww!!!" Terra screamed before her voice was soon muffled by Mileru's hand. "I've got this one under control so shut up!!! Just guard the door and steer away any unwelcome guests!!!" Mileru let go before refocusing his attention on the captive. "Stop hitting me for your own faults, you dumb je-oww!!! Now what was that for!!?" "If they find us, our objective will be comprised. If that happens, you'll die and I'll survive so please watch the door will ya?" Terra took a deep breath before moving close to the door while mumbling something.

- A minute or two later -

A few knocks had made its way to the door with a Shinigami on the end. The Shinigami was saying something about having a special delivery which caused Terra to tilt her head to Mileru and whistle three bird sounds. Mileru quickly responded by making a silenced gun trigger release sound before she nodded in response. "Ummm Captain, are you there?" Mr. Delivery asked as the door slowly pulled opened. The Shinigami took it as a sign to enter and chose to walk in. The lights were off and everything was silent but something just wasn't right. Taking a few more steps in, a figure could be seen tied up to a chair, triggering him to take out his Zanpakuto. "What the?" He rushed over to the victim who seemed to be in an unconscious state before releasing them from their restraints.

"I knew Cap was missing a few screws but this? Eh well time to go before you know who gets back." The Shinigami quickly picked up the tired up person and tossed the packaged delivery on the floor before cautiously making his way for the door. Mr. Delivery wasn't a pushover, he was a veteran member on the squad known for his 98.57% delivery success rate. Some say he was once a wanted man and managed to elude an entire squad until he could prove his innocence. Unfortunately the odds were against him this time around. As Mr. Delivery finally made his way back to the door, it slammed shut before the supposed unconscious victim stabbed him in the back.

- Extended Sequence -

The Captive was relentless, repeatedly jabbing him in the back but the Shinigami wasn't going down without a fight. Mr. Delivery managed to get the individual off of him and sent the assailant crashing through the Captain's desk before breaking through the door. Dammit!!! The mission is comprised if that bitch alerts the others!!! Mileru thought as he got from up under the destroyed desk. After making it out, the Shinigami tried to call for help when a shadowy figure appeared right before him. The figure lunged right at him in a thrust like position but no sword could be seen. Mr. Delivery rolled out of the way and quickly responded by slashing at the calf part of the figure's right leg. "Help!!!" Even though the delivery man had the upperhand at the moment, it was best to invest his time into trying to attract help. Hearing his call, a few Shinigami not taking a lunch break came out to his assistance.

"Lay down your arms now!!!!" All of the members began blocking off every exit in an attempt to capture the figure. "So Mileru was right after all..." The individual laid down their weapon as some of the Shinigami fired a few Hainawa's at the person, wrapping around the target and subduing them with little resistance. Mr. Delivery rose back to his feet, acting all cocky and shiz before walking over to his assailant. "You think you're the first to try to get over on me? Well do ya punk!!?" The delivery man soon turned to the Shinigami not subduing the figure. "There's another one in the Captain's office. Keep that bitch occupied while I go get back up." They were getting shiz done but not for long...

As she began drooling Kenji raised an eyebrow and scratched his neck wondering why she was.....Maybe it was because she liked pain? It was either that or he looked hot to her while they were fighting, and he wasn't too sure on that last part, nor was he that conceited. "Something smells great about you. Whatever it is, you should use it more often makes me feel all tingly in a good way." Kenji still didn't know what she was on about, he didn't really think he smelt like anything....Maybe he grabbed the scent off her and she just liked her own scent that much? He didn't know. As she held her hand up and say Bakudō #62 Kenji knew what came next, holding up his fist he did a little hop back and forth before the hundreds of rods came shooting towards him. As they shot towards him some passed him but some came shooting directly at him in which he punched some able to get them to fall, shatter, or fling back. He kept punching them and moved left to right only a few times. He didn't notice one below which slammed into his leg throwing him off balance, as he stumbled forward he smacked his right hand up to hit a few away but a few more took it's place and got hold of his arm sending him flying back. More flew at him which got his torso and rest of his legs. He slammed into a wall with an, "Oof!" he assumed Aya was going to follow up with an attack so he got his free arm ready, head hung low he began muttering something.

Aya watched him punch away at the rods having to dodge herself when he punched a few back at her. Yet eventually they caught up to him and pinned him against a wall, in which she grinned and clapped her hands as she planted her hands on the ground and smirked as she took off in a sprint pulling her arm back as she ran towards him, when she was around two feet away, she then shunpoed to his side and giggled as she gave him a light kiss on the cheek and pulled away the rods. "Thanks for cheering me up Orange. Its been a while since I had that much fun"

As she got closer Kenji almost finished muttering his Kido but stopped when she shunpo'ed to his side giving him a kiss on the cheek giving him a bit of a flush chuckling at her giggle. When she pulled the rods off of him he landed on his feet and smacked dust off his shoulders and from his hair. "Hm?" he said as she began talking and he looked over at her, "Thanks for cheering me up Orange. Its been a while since I had that much fun."

"Oh, really?" Kenji asked, "A while is usually, well....A while! Girlfriend holding out on you? Or is she the celibate type?"

"Well more like a snag you see, Hozumi was taken under her watch, granted I should have been watching him, but to know that he would have been taken during that Arrancar attack.... I could just be a bad mother. I spent too much time goofing around with him, than teaching him not to talk to strangers no matter how nice they act..... Wait a second." Aya said now realizing what he meant. "We never done that, if anything You did much more sexual innuendos than her in a day. Not sure if thats sad or not."

"You're not a bad mother, he wasn't taken under your watch now was he? So don't blame yourself for it, but....I'd suggest speaking to your girlfriend about that part though, what to teach him once you get him back and all that jazz ya'know?" Kenji said with a shrug, "And in that case your relationship must be boring, but hey, who I am to judge? I don't know why you haven't done it yet, but I do know that I now have another reason to not be tied down. No freedom to do as I please, anytime I crave it."

"Heh thanks but I still feel like one, couldn't even rescue him when he was right in front of me. And I don't know where she is at the moment, like I said to you earlier Squad Eight does some crazy things, maybe she is doing one? All I've been doing was working on making an alternation to a hado, but oh well. I'm sure I will run into Leaf eventually." Aya then flushed a little and whacked his arm. "hey now, just cause we haven't done anything, doesn't mean its boring. I sometimes trick her into thinking she killed me,t hats pretty fun."

"Well I'm sure you have your reasons for not being able to rescue him, I'm sure it ain't as simple as just not doing it....And maybe she is doing one, but you'll run into her again I'm sure," Kenji said, he then put his hands in his pockets chuckling as Aya whacked his arm and spoke about the prank she pulled on her lover. "Mhm, mhm, yeah I think that's called being sadistic Dove~" Kenji said with a chuckle, "Now I'm starting to think it's because you both are...You know....Pure. But if either of you need tips on pleasuring a woman, well, I always have time for a bit of teaching~"

Sadistic? Beating the ever living crap out of her and enjoying it would be sadistic, and me pure..... You do realize I'm half demon right? They aren't know to be pure people. More so killers, but thank you anyway I guess, and nice try Orange. Still not doing that with you, but a plus for effort." Aya said walking over and pulling her sword out of the tree and sheathed it. "Hmmmm What to do now though, I'm bored. I would annoy my sister but shes probably doing something with Femme.... You figure out what squad to join yet?" Aya asked looking back at him.

Wow, she really is pure....Kenji thought as he ran a hand through his hair, he watched as she walked over to the tree and grab her sword sheathing it. She then spoke about annoying her sister, then some person named Femme? Sounded homosexual, Kenji didn't mind that though, he wasn't closed minded. She then looked back at him asking a question, "You figure out what squad to join yet?" Kenji just shrugged, "I absolutely did not." he replied as he walked closer to him putting his hand back into his pocket.

"Ahh should probably figure that out soon. Lets see seeing as how you like being blunt, I wouldn't join squad six. The Captain will hado you so fast. You will find out just how many ways he can use Sho." Aya said chuckling. "How about eight? Crazy missions, all sorts of weird people, you would fit in perfectly. Besides you get to see my adorable face everyday, that has to be a bonus." Aya said laughing a bit as she tossed her sword up in the air, but it went backwards a bit and hit the man guarding the gate knocking him out. She went and picked up her sword and walked back to Kenji. "So you saw that Squad eleven guy that knocked out our poor guard right?"

"Hm, I wouldn't mind seeing your pretty face everyday....Eh, I guess for lack of better reasons I'll join this Squad. Don't expect me to do all that much though, I ain't that kind of person," Kenji said now crossing his arms. His eyes widened a bit as she tossed her sword in the air knocking out the man guarding the gate. "So you saw that Squad eleven guy that knocked out our poor guard right?" she asked as she walked back in which Kenji let out a breath, "Yeah, what an asshole right?"

"Indeed how could such a man do that, like what did he even do to deserve it?" Aya said nodding, seeing the man get back up only to be punched and fall unconscious again, by a giant burly man, with scars all over his body. the man laughed quite loudly as he walked away, leaving Aya to stare at the event. "OH MY GOD! DID YOU JUST SEE THAT SQUAD ELEVEN MAN HIT OUR GUARD?" Aya shouted, looking at him shocked, when she then cleared her throat and giggled. "Again anyway...... Hey are you okay?" Aya asked only to hear a groan. "Yep hes fine. Been through worse with my sister."

- Overwhelming Power -

"Let's begin." Aventus flash stepped in front of her with his blade already lodged in her stomach area. Kareta swung both of her Zanpakuto at the man's shoulders but it was to no effect. Upon making contact with his skin, his spiritual formed a shield strong enough to prevent the blades from going further. Aventus forced his blade further in, causing her to cough up blood before moving close to her ear. "It's over." He said, aggressively ripping it out of her shortly afterwards. She fell to her knees as the man had already started walking back to his master's side. "Get...back here!!!! I'll tell you when it's over!!!!" Kareta dropped her left Zanpakuto so she could keep the wound from bleeding out excessively. Aventus sighed and turned to her with a pitied look. "The fight is over when only one is left standing. You are no longer capable of standing, hence I win. Those who cannot stand aren't worth fighting anymore. Getting back up would only repeat the same result." He noted before continuing back to his desired destination.

- Overwhelming power Pt. 2 -

Sayorin looked at Kareta from across the room, shaking his head in a disappointing manner. "Well I guess that's that. But...you're creating quite the mess my darling and I can't have that. I'll call in a few of my pets to help you clean up so how's that?" Her spiritual started to drastically increase. "Darling!!!!? Oooh, you've done it now!!! Kareta's face flustered red with anger as she stood back on her feet. "I see getting angry over the simplest things hasn't changed." She shunpoed over his head, even twice as pissed as before. "I'm not angry!!!!" She yelled while getting ready to bring her Zanpakuto down on his head. Sayorin caught the blade with his hand before tightening the grip on it. "Well then my eyes must be mistaken but there's a reason why I didn't choose to fight you." He raised his spare hand at her before discharging a red electric like beam from his hand.

- The Revelation Pt. 4 -

"I'm impressed kiddo, you've actually learned how to think things out for a change." Rinkei scratched his head a bit. "Well I'm glad you think so but any suggestions on the matter?" Lew smiled. "Still not comfortable asking for help eh? Hmmm well I can only think of a few but hope you find one to your liking. It's obvious that he is only targeting you and your siblings specifically so you could just go to him. That could prevent others from getting killed but that would also mean Soyezir has to go as well..." The Captain's face darkened. "Only a select few know about that name and you shouldn't be stalking me." His master laughed before scratching his back. "Ooooo, yeah that's the spot, now back to what we were talking about. I stalk all my apprentices to make sure they don't violate the contract but I didn't need to in order to find that out. And yes that's pretty bad if you're wondering."

- The Revelation Pt. 5 -

"Oh that's great! I have a personal stalker...who is my mentor...and who's also a cat person. Plus to top that, I have a son that's probably more of a troublemaker then me. If only waiting to die by some other being entirely wasn't bad enough." Rinkei's face suddenly relaxed. "Well there's no point in hiding him any longer." Lew took a deep breath. "I hope that turns out to be a good idea in the long run. Welp see ya in ten years Tasahiko. Oh and your girl is like sooo gone so might want to hurry." The neko man said as his body began to turn to dust.

- Squad Eight Barracks -

Peeking through the door, Mileru could see Terra being captured as a few Shinigami was on their way to his position. "Secrecy can no longer be maintained. Mission comprised but I cannot afford to fail when I'm sooo close." He pulled out an umbrella before walking out of the office. The Shinigami gathered in front of him as words like "Put down the umbrella!!!" and "You're cornered!!" left their mouths. Mileru heeded their warnings, dropping his umbrella but the look in his eyes said differently. "Well you've got what you've wanted. Iron Python...Pestrell-!!!" They bonerushed him and nailed him to the ground before he could finish.

"Noooooo!!!! I was so close, please don't deny me this!!!!" Mileru's face reddened in shame as one of the Shinigami kicked his umbrella away from him. "We've got the other prisoner!!!" "And weaklings like you are the reason my subordinates end up dead." An outside voice echoed before a male with white hair appeared, wearing a crazy like grin on his face. The Shinigami turned in the man's direction, clenching onto their Zanpakuto's tightly as sweat dripped down their faces. "I hate frightened kittens more than weaklings but you'll do..." One Shinigami walked up to the man with a serious look. "You're tresspassing on res-!!!!" The brave warrior's head rolled on the ground without another word spoken soon after.

Fumio Hari Kouineji & Souta Fushimaru Hari

The two entered through the east gates of the Seireitei, walking along the pathways to make their way to the Squad 8 barracks. Fumio walked a little in front of Souta as the latter had his eyes pinned to the ground. Without a word, Souta abruptly stuck an arm out to grab Fumio's arm in a bid to stop him. Fumio stopped silently before looking back over his shoulder with an eyebrow raised in concerned wonder as Souta stopped himself and looked down, retracting his arm. "... What's that matter Souta?" Fumio asked to break the silence, turning his body to fully address the other male. Souta still had his eyes to the floor, but after a quiet minute, he finally spoke up.

"When are we... going to go home?" Souta's voice trailed to a whisper as he spoke. Only at the end of his sentence did his eyes finally slid off of the floor to look Fumio in the eyes.

"You know why I'm here in the first place Souta... I guess once that's done we'll go back" Fumio shrugged before sending Souta a smile. The latter didn't react to the smile and kept his eyes on Fumio's. "I know..." Souta's eyes then fell back onto the floor. "I just.... I don't like it here anymore.... But of course she's still at home so we don't have a choice but to stay here.... I can't wait until all of this is over once and for all...." Fumio walked closer to Souta and placed a hand gently on the guy's shoulder. "Hey, cheer up a little. I know this isn't ideal... but everything will get sorted out, even if I have to do it myself. I know you're still abit shaken about what happened... back there... but you don't have to worry about that anymore. You've taken care of it. Just relax now... The time is coming... I just need to make sure we're all ready. Hopefully Huerona will come with us... and come home" Fumio continued to smile, leaving his hand on Souta's shoulder for a little bit longer before taking it off.

Souta looked up once more, but this time returned Fumio's smile with a small one of his own. "Okay Prince heh... It's unfortunate that we've lost so many people... our families... our best friends... our lovers... but, once we've sorted this out and Huerona comes back... and maybe Patrika too.... We could return to being like family again, ya know?" Fumio smirked at Souta. "You've always been one for peace and harmony. But, I doubt that it'll be as easy as you make it seem" Fumio crossed his arms, smirking amusedly. "I'm still resented and with what Patrika did to Huerona... If Huerona doesn't kill her, I will-" "No you won't. No more killing, no more spilling the blood of those that don't truly deserve it Kazuhiko... It's attitudes like that that's partly the reason why our clan is dwindling in numbers. We should be helping each other, not killing each other because of bullshit traditions... You, Huerona and myself could teach the others in our clan what we've learned from our experience here to make us all stronger... We could be extra outside help for the Seireitei incase of emergencies or threats that compromise the entire Soul Society as a whole... That's what I feel should happen... Do you agree or disagree?" Souta sharing his thoughts and ideals suddenly shocked Fumio a little, but soon Fumio's expression straightened up. "... Well, you have good ideas there... I guess... I agree, but as I've said before, it won't be easy, especially since this tradition has been going on for centuries... but if that's what you want, I'll do as I always do and stay by your side" Smiling once more, both Fumio and Souta nodded in acceptance. "Now, let's get back Souta" "Okay Kazuhiko"

With the two returning to their journey, within around 6 or 7 minutes, they had made it close to the gates of Squad 8.

"Um... Kazuhiko... Do you know why a guard has been knocked out?" Souta raised an eyebrow and looked to Fumio for answers, however the latter had his arms crossed and eyes narrowed as he spotted a familiar face. "I don't know, maybe it's to do with those two over there...." Souta looked in the same direction to see Aya giggling next to a guy he had never seen before. "Oh... Well that may explain why she's giggling I guess..." Souta shrugged, swallowing an uneasy feeling that was trying to crawl up his throat.

A few minutes later. "I see you've returned." Fumio stopped along with Souta, looking at Aya still with narrowed eyes before speaking up once more. "Did Chie find you?" Souta stood back and watched Fumio talk to Aya, meanwhile he chose to take a look at the new guy, wondering who he was but feeling slightly uncomfortable around him.... there was just something about him...

Rio Okotaru Darishimo

After washing her face and tying a new eye-patch around her head, Rio decided to take her mind off of recent events by doing more paperwork... You can never do too much work for Captain Kuchiki anyway, only too little.

Rio poured alot of time and effort into her work, working through all of the pent up emotions threatening to escape again, loosing herself in her writing for a moment of two... After a considerable amount of time, Rio had finished and ordered her papers accordingly. Silence smothered her as she stood and tidied her desk, grabbing her papers and leaving the room. Rio made her way to the Captain's office, passing Kenta's along the way.... But, instead of getting emotional again like she'd use to, Rio ignored the room and put a cap on her feelings. Enough was enough. There was nothing more she could do about the situation so there was no point getting upset about it all over again... Entering the Captain's office, Rio placed her papers on top of the stacks that had already gathered on the Captain's desk... 'I wish I could sort these out for him... But I'm not authorised to do such a thing... I think Kenta is however... hmmm' Closing her eye, she turned for the door and left.

'Maybe a walk would do me nicely... Oh wait....' Rio thought in an annoyed tone as she walked down the barrack's balcony stairs to see the guy that was yelling before still sat on the floor. Sighing, Rio tried to pass him, hoping he wouldn't pay any attention to her and would let her go on her way without any issues.

As the guard stood up an actual Squad eleven Shinigami came over and hit him for whatever reason which made his eyes widen a bit more before returning to normal, that was random. "Yep hes fine. Been through worse with my sister." Kenji shrugged, "Must be a violent sister then..." soon two guys walked up to them, one asking Aya about her sister or whatever. He looked homosexual, he wondered if that was the guy Aya was talking about earlier. Dropping the top of his Shihakusho reavling his toned body Kenji pulled an arm over his shoulder stretching, opening his eyes he noticed that other guy looking at him which made Kenji stop pulling his arm but staying in the same position, "See something you like pretty eyes?" Kenji asked him raising an eyebrow. Or do you have to shit or vomit or something? Kenji thought as he lowered his energy.

Aya heard a familiar voice and grinned as she saw Fumio and Souta, and even though Fumio asked her a question, she grabbed both Souta and Fumio and bear hugged them. "Femme and Cherry!!!!" Aya continued the bear hug as she pondered his question. "Hmmmmm I don't know, I was out of it for a good hour or two, you know demon stuff. Losing my mind, destroying a forest, almost taking Oranges head off. The usual. What about you? have you seen my sister, you know the one with the curves, the one according to Cherry, you banged very loudly. The one that tackles you, the one that insults people on a daily basis. Have you seen that sister? I think I answered you question with that greeting Orange."

Fumio Hari Kouineji & Souta Fushimaru Hari

The man Souta eyed unexpectedly dropped the top of his Shihakusho, revealing toned skin underneath. Souta, of course, didn't pay any mind to that at all... In fact, he didn't even notice until the man spoke that he had become topless and was stretching. The uneasy feeling Souta had weakened a little before it intensified when he was caught staring. "N-no! Um... I-I mean-wait... Pretty eyes?" Souta's words scrambled out of his mouth, causing him to immediately look away and stroke the back of his head sheepishly until he realised what the guy had actually said and looked bad at the man. Unsure of what to think, Souta calmed himself down a little and straightened up before crossing his arms causally with an eyebrow raised. "... Sorry about that... Sunshine" Souta mumbled the nickname, not wanting to seem offensive but wanting to call him something for complimenting his eyes... Atleast he was just going to take it as a compliment, nothing more, nothing less.

Aya's arms then wrapped around both Fumio and Souta, squeezing both of them into a tight bear-hug.

"Dammit Aya!" Fumio tried to breath and wriggle out of the hug while Souta only chuckled. "Nice to see you too Aya" his voice was strained due to the pressure. Aya didn't let go as she continued to speak. "If you let me go I'll tell you!" Fumio squeezed out, eventually prying her arms apart to free both himself and Souta. The two took a moment to gasp for air before fixing themselves up. "Well.... The last time I saw Chie was when she went to find you. Right after your cousin left the two of us" Fumio pulled a twisted grin before ridgedly turning to Souta, his eyes flaring, directing his annoyance straight at Souta. "According to Cherry huh?" Souta held his hands up before chuckling. "Hey, you two were pretty loud... How was I supposed to know that you were going to bang her? I wouldn't of came by if I knew you two were going to-" "Not another word Souta." "Fine fine! I'm sorry Okay?" Souta couldn't stop himself from smirking in amusement, doing a horrible job at trying to conceal it as Fumio just crossed his arms and rolled his eyes. "Anyway, someone's a little joyful today hmmm?" A smirk suddenly spread across Fumio's lips as he turned his gaze onto Aya. "Would that have anything to do with Leaf? Or that guy next to you?" He chuckled a little as he waited for her to answer. Hearing this, Souta turned to the two with a curious face, begining to wonder what was going on between the two... Not that he cared, because he didn't, he was just wondering.

Aya giggled as Fumio tried to squirm out, eventually escaping her grasp, when he told her that she left after her Cousin left. Aya nodded, and patted Fumio on his shoulder. "Have you been in the Captain's stash? I told you, Chie Sieg and me are the only Odas left. And not another word? What don't say that you went and did the deed with my little sister, boy should have heard everything Cherry said. It was like yo-" A man then went flying by Ayas head, the man happening to be the guard by the gate, and Chies was standing behind Aya glaring at her. "No! Wait how did you even...." Chie then looked at Souta and cracked her knuckles. "Well, looks like I now have a good reason to fry you. Oh by the way Aya, Anges our cousin might be coming over." Aya just stared confusingly at her as she tried to wonder how she has a cousin while Chie started walking towards Souta. Aya then heard the comment about why she was happy which made her blush as she looked at the ground. "Stupid...."
