Haruka nodded when he told her about the familial aspect to Squad 10. If she drew on her own familial experiences, she's still be calling him by his family name. But, he seemed to be uncomfortable with that, so she would be sure to follow his request. "Alright, Hi...Hikari." she followed him at his signal.

"Do you think that something is attracting them there? Well...aside from the free buffet." she asked as they traveled.

"That's what it seems," Hikari replied, "From how many were wiped out a couple months ago it's odd that more are just showing up in the same district and around it. And you may not sense it, but there is a faint spirit energy around here but I can't pinpoint it so the best bet is to just look around." Hikari walked to a building and knocked against it while raising his energy. Suddenly many Hollow jumped from various places to try and get him in which Hikari just smirked and looked back at Haruka, "I assume you can handle about twenty Hollow," Hikari said before he shunpo'ed away and seemingly disappeared.

After the attack three months ago, they lost a lot of manpower, but also gained quite the bit of it as well. Some squads however suffered from the loss of certain people, and certain people suffered from these traitors. While one could say Sui is one of them, Ashido really didn't leave that big of an impression to her. Well she was much lazier back then, so it was probably due to not paying much attention to him. In fact she was so out of it one time she didn't even know they had a 3rd seat until the attack happened, also during that day she felt someone watching her although at the time she couldn't really check it out due to holding the swarm off. Yet she soon forgot all about that within he three months, and if there is one thing that makes a place feel deserted, its knowing that a traitor was involved, so Squad nine felt pretty much dead at this point, so Sui took the chance to slip out and go for a walk, well her equivalent of a walk, which was floating her way away from the Seireitei and towards a nice spacious clearing in the wild, this one was actually quite beautiful and had no signs of damage anywhere, well not yet anyway.

As Sui was laying down in the grass with her shikai floating above her. She caught a speck above her flying straight down towards her, and as it got closer it appeared to be Takara, which made Sui's expression turn to shock as she shunpoed out of the way before Takara slammed down palm first right where Sui was laying down. Sui scratched the back of her head as Takara stood up and shook her hand. "Should have done Byakurai, much faster." Takara said as she she tossed her zanpakuto up in the air, and watched it split into it's shikai form. "You know why I'm here right?" Takara asked getting into her combat stance, while Sui pulled off her glove covering her tattoo on her left hand. "Yes, but the true question Takara. Do you take the risk? You have no clue what mine does, the only one we know about is my sister Nene, and its to allow her to see despite being blind. And yours is shadows, which is why you are great for squad two. The perfect stealth unit. Mine however is a big mystery, no one knows what mine can do. But I should remain cautious, yours did grow bigger since we last meet, so I'm guessing you took theirs huh?" Sui asked which made Takara smirk. "Thats correct, although it was stupid, all they had was flexibility and better speed. Like seriously I'm getting all the ninja shit, I seriously hope yours isn't like that." Takara said before lunging at Sui.

In response Sui motioned for two swords to block the attack, and the other two swung down from above, which Takara avoided by pushing one of Sui's swords into the other, causing it to block the other one as well. Takara then swung her right leg at Sui, which made Sui smirk as she reached for Takara's leg with her left hand. This made Takara stop and back off, while Sui stood there and smiled. "Whats the matter, you were all set to kill me, why did you stop the attack?" Sui asked with a smirk while Takara grinned herself as she held up both hands while one hand was missing its shikai. Sui looked down below her to see it under her legs, which made Sui gasp before a geyser came out from under Sui sending her into the air burning the skin on her arms, while Takara Shunpoed above Sui, and kicked her down to the ground. Sui managed to recover, although her arms were twitching a bit from the blistering heat. Now Sui looked around the field and saw several little stabs in the ground. "I see, I can't stand in those areas....." Sui mumbled looking at Takara, before her blades started rapidly moving and then circled Takara, and started firing off kido beams which she had to rapidly block, not being able to move, Sui took this time to plan something and shunpoed out of sight and near a cliff.

After several minutes Takara came after Sui only to see her sitting on the ground waiting for Takara. "Took you long enough, I would have used the shadow trick to get out of the way, or were you too focused on blocking to do it?" Sui asked which made Takara grit her teeth before water covered her blades, and sent multiple arcs at Sui which made her dodge them all before seeing Takara in front of her swing horizontally across her cutting her stomach, however Sui took that time to grab Takara by the hair and kneeing her right in the face, and then tossing her over the cliff. One would think that you could simply shunpo back, but Takara found herself stuck in a fushibi, right in the middle of it too. Sui sent her swords into the sky which vanished, then multiple Green and blue spiritual energy blade fell from the sky right on top of Takara, who used her shadow feature and let the blade go right past her, when all the blades were gone she let the shadow feature go, then felt and incredible amount of power above her, she then saw All of Sui's four blades above her firing a bright and giant kido beam down upon her. Takara tried to move but then realized that she was still stuck in the fushibi. So all Takara could do, was watch as the beam connected with the fushibi and caused a massive explosion sending smoke hurdling up the cliff followed by one of Takara's arm, which made Sui frown as she kicked it down the cliff. Sui also caught her shikai blades, and sealed them as she peered down the cliff to see nothing remaining of Takara, which made Sui sigh. "All of that hassle for some stupid power? Geesh, its not like you get a power boost, just some stupid Tattoo with a power." Sui muttered as she walked away from the cliff.

The young woman listened quietly and nodded along. It did make some sense. But...what if the Hiollows were being directed? Before she could voice this thought, she found herself surrounded by Hollows. "Dick. Move."

She ducked beneath the claws of one before she performed Tessho on the one behind it. With her free hand she drew her zanpakuto and sliced the arms off of another one. "One More Time, Yuurei Shinjin!" Her shikai burst to life just as she stabbed her it straight through its mask. She dodged and parried, allowing many of the Hollows to hit each other. knew the general nature of Hollows...were these individuals searching out a snack, or...was this one cohesive unit? She wanted to let their frustration grow, and see if they ever turned on each other.

The girl then turned her attention to Souta, making Fumio raise an eyebrow. Souta looked at the girl, a scowl growing on his face as the girl spoke... but then something inside him seemed to of snapped when she told him that both of them have nowhere where they belong. The girl then continued to talk, Fumio narrowing her eyes at her as she did, not appreciating her presence still lingering around him and Souta. Souta however. He spoke calmly, however a tinge of anger underlaid his words. His hair was covering his eyes as his head was tilted forward before he moved his head up, looking at the girl hatefully. Souta yelled. Souta jumped back, unsheathing his sword which shocked Fumio. The latter looked back at Souta before looking at the girl. Just before anyone could say or do anything, Fumio shunpo'ed and appeared beside Souta, grabbing the guy roughly by his arm. With a short chuckle, Fumio shunpo'ed with Souta, out of sight and out of mind.

Lahel smirked the instant Souta snapped at her, not bothering to acknowledge Fumio. In her mind, they were all nothing but trash and obstacles, things that were merely mortal. Something she planned onto transcending. She turned towards Souta as he yelled at her, smiling as if she was feeding off it. She giggled as he unsheathed his zanpakuto "Oh you look so serious right now, I'm shaking in my boots" She said, with a evil grin. She waited for Souta to attack, hoping he would. But instead, the cooler headed one grabbed his friend and shunpoed away. She frowned as an unknown voice spoke up "Smart move, if he had attacked I would of chopped his head off!! Buahahaha!!"Abyss, the point of you being here is to remain silent and protect Lahel if I am occupied. So do your job and stay silent""Oh you're no fun Ragnarok! Fine, I'll just stay here then...in the shadows" Lahel and Ragnarok then continued.

They had finally made their way to the tree which Aya and Kenji were getting intimate at. An ominous wind once again passed through the area, as a Demons presence could be felt"Fooling around huh? How indecent, but what else would I expect from a demon and the whor-" Ragnarok decided to speak up "I think it's best if I speak, we came here for a reason " The intoxicating demonic presence came from the large man. Lahel rolled her eyes and nodded, crossing her arms. His red eyes stared into Ayas through his helmet "You are the mother of Hozumi Indra Oda, correct?"[/b]

The hollows just seemed to be mindless Hollows, easy to trick and just jumped right back at her again. Though before they could get any closer a....Thing jumped from out of nowhere and landed on the hollows smashing and killing them. Though when their bodies turned to dust the mask stayed and attached to the body, filling the empty grey spots. The creature then let out a large screech that echoed about before charging a medium sized Cero in it's mouth and firing it off at Haruka.

"She can handle that while I investigate," Hikari thought after he left her with the twenty Hollows.

Closing his eyes Hikari tried pinpointing the small energy, it took a bit of focus but he was able to find the general location in which he went there. Walking around Hikari then came upon a small warehouse looking building where the energy was a bit stronger. Hikari slowly stepped inside to see a man on his knees, hood covering his face as he chuckled leaning back and forth, "I've been waiting!"

"Hm? Waiting on what?" Hikari asked, slowly putting his hand on the hilt of his Zanpakuto as he watched the man.

"Someone high ranking to test my skills on!" The man responded as he stood up holding his sheath, his eyes revealed to be glowing red.



"Are you involved in these Hollow attacks? If not, don't make me waste my time," Hikari said with a glare.

"Involved in them!? I'm the reason for them!" The man said with a crazy look to him, "The Hollows have accepted me as their own! We are one!"

"And you're a nut job whatever your name is," Hikari said as he began drawing his Zanpakuto.

"It's Tatsukiiiiiiii~" Tatsuki said with a shudder, "But that name doesn't matter anymore! Soon, I'll be re-named! I will be god of a new world! Where my brethren won't be killed just for your sick and twisted pleasures! They're supposed to pleasure you, you them! N-Ngh!"

Hikari just stood there with a confused look, this guy was the sick and twisted one. The sooner he was put down the better. Hikari shot towards Tatsuki swinging in which Tatsuki blocked it with his own blade, "I knew you wouldn't understand! None of you ever do!" Tears seemed to be spilling out of the man's eyes not. Hikari just found it all weird, and the man was obviously mentally fucked up.

Hikari then heard a loud screech causing him to look behind him, "Fuck, Hakura!" Hikari yelled as he turned and began running out of the warehouse in which the man appeared in front of him slashing at him. Hikari quickly held his blade up blocking the attack, but felt a cut go down his shoulder. "Clones," Hikari mumbled, seemed to not be hurt by the attack. He jump kicked destroying the clones, while in the air he pressed down against Tatsuki's blade with his energy backing him up. It caused Tatsuki to bend a bit in which Hikari put a foot on Tatsuki's blade and shot forward but soon found his leg grabbed causing him to fall to the ground. Looks like I won't be getting there anytime soon, just hold out Hakura! Hikari thought before turning and kicking Tatsuki in the face.

Nishiki Kalemoru

The second Nishiki left the Library, she opened up her new book and resumed reading from the page she left off. "Oooooo! I totally understand you Selisha! I'm telling you girl, you've got to leave him now or else it's just go-What?! NOOOO WAAAAAY!!" Nishiki thought aloud, not realising that other people around her were giving her annoyed looks due to how loud she was being. Nishiki, on the other hand, was just in a world of her own, letting her feet walk on auto-pilot and not really caring where they took her. Not once did Nishiki trip or bump into things, almost as if her feet knew the soundings and had sensors to detect when an object or wall was in her path. It didn't take her too long to finish the first chapter which was around twenty pages. 'That was the first chapter out of seven! I can already tell that I'm going to enjoy reading this book~' Nishiki was just about to make a start on the next chapter when she caught a quick glance of a very familiar tattoo disappearing into the entrance of Squad Four. 'Sui! Wait.... Why's she going into Squad Four?' Closing her book, Nishiki walked towards the barracks with an eyebrow raised in curiosity. Peaking around the corner of the gate, Nishiki watched as Sui stepped inside the barracks, seemingly only possessing light injuries, well that was what it looked like from Nishiki's vantage point. Nishiki then smiled and took to skipping into the barracks, her book clasped tightly in her left hand as she followed Sui. "Suuuzie~" She chimed cheerfully.

As Sui was put in a room where they healed the cuts on her stomach and burns on her arms, she heard a familiar voice, which happened to be who she thought it was, and saw Niki come right in the room, which made Sui wave her hand at her. "Hey Niki, did you get into a fight?" Sui asked but looked at her to see not a single scratch and instead a book in her hand. Sui couldn't help but look at the title and giggle a bit. "Didn't know you were type type to read those books, you seem more into different types of books, and without knowing she accidentally did a hand motion which she looked at then quickly stopped and scratched her head. "That wasn't aimed at you, I just remembered something from the past. So why you here?"

As aya was all giddy about getting Ice cream, although Kenji was being the usual pervert he was, suddenly a voice came out of nowhere, but it felt much like a demon, so much Aya stopped in her pace and almost yanked Kenjis arm right off. However what she turned around to wasn't Hozumi but two different people, one that was grouchy and had a strange urge to just bitch smack, and the other that looked all spooky. So when the man mentioned her son, she peered at him with wide eyes, as she let go of Kenji and looked up at the man. "You know about my son? Do you know where he is? Please Night, if you do I'll be in your debt!"

Miwa Ringo-Kuchiki

Humming a joyful tune while dressed in a rather formal Kimono with her hair pulled up in a neat bun, a decorative hair pin finishing off the look, a woman who went by the name Miwa with chestnut-brown hair and emerald green eyes adjusted her glasses while walking through the Seireitei. 'It's been a while since I stepped foot in here... Now, let's see if I remember the way~' Her head flicked from left to right as she walked, reading the signs above the entrances of the many barracks while looking for one particular number. After a while 'Found it! Ehehehehe~' Miwa's eyes squinted slightly in happiness as she hurried through the entrance, carrying two black Bento boxes. 'Oh boy, I hope those two don't mind me popping by~' She continued walking down the path, looking around to see a few Shinigami sparring before a tall Shinigami stopped her. "Excuse me Miss, I don't believe you're supposed to be inside here. What's your name?" Miwa looked up at the guy, still smiling as her mood didn't falter at all. "Why hello there. I assure you that I am authorised to enter this barrack. My name is Mrs Miwa Kuchiki." The man looked down at the woman in slight shock to find that she claimed to be a Kuchiki, however he hadn't seen her before.... "Oh... I apologise Mrs Kuchiki.... Please continue" "Thank you and don't worry about it, you were only doing your duty. However, you should of been closer to the gate and stopped me sooner. Please be sure not drift from your post again." Despite practically telling the man off, Miwa still held a smile and her voice had a slight softness to it. The man then nodded his head and stepped out of the way, bowing. Miwa then continued walking, moving a little faster this time.

Walking up the stairs, Miwa had already asked a young lady for directions to the Captain's office. While making her way to her destination, she scanned her surroundings, admiring the hard-working Shinigami as well as the maintained gardens and clean pathways. 'Finally! Oh, I'm so excited to see them working together!' With her smile growing further, Miwa gently knocked the door and waited while holding the Bento boxes.

"Shit..." is all Haruka could say when she saw the beast. "Well you know...you'd be kinda cute in an evil, angry demon god kinda way. Are you sure you don't wanna come with me? I give great belly rubs." she offered before she dodged away from the Cero.

"Plenty of tasty meat! No one trying to kill you. You don't HAVE to fight. Come on, it doesn't sound ALL bad right? I'm sure the Captain wouldn't mind adding on some extra space for you. And if we go into the human world, we can fight Hollows together."

Ragnarok nodded "Yes I know of your son, more than you know. But as a matter of fact I do know where your son is. However, I am not willing to go there myself. However, it is possible for you to go where he lies, since a demons blood courses through your veins. But only you and your relatives may pass through the gates of Hell. So...do you wish to go to Hell? With the slim chance of your son being alive?" As he spoke, Lahel glared at Aya the entire time. It was as if she wanted to gouge her eyes out, but she remained silent

Nishiki Kalemoru

Nishiki continued to skip until she entered the building, following Sui and finding her laying down in a room while being healed. She waited until the members had finished healing Sui and had left the room before entering. "Heya Suzie~ And nope, what happened to you?" Nishiki asked Sui before catching the woman looking at her new book, giggling. "Oh this? Hmhmhmhm, you mean sex books don't you?~ Hehehe, honestly I didn't think I'd enjoy this book, I don't know why I like it but it's just something about it.... reminds me of someone" Nishiki smiled before continuing to speak. "Oh? I don't mind if it was~ You know me Suzie hmhmhm~ but something in the past? Were you doing something naughty without me Suzie?~" Nishiki took a seat at the edge of the bed Sui sat on, resting the book on top of her thighs while looking at Sui suggestively. "Well, spill the beans then~ I want to hear all about it if it includes you being naughty~"

Sui rubbed the back of her head and laughed nervously. "Eh just a slight miscalculation, that's all really and yeah i did, no offense of course, you just seem more into those type of books." Sui said as she listened to Niki speak before blushing a bit. "What no it wasn't anything like that. It was a conversation with a friend, it was something about his I'm guessing bigger than average girlfriend, and her sister teased him about it, so the man went and did something along those lines. besides I wouldn't even know how to do those things."

Angelo was training as he relaxed his body by the koi pond getting his spiritual pressure under control getting his pressure even lower. His spiritual pressure was low and would only be detected by a skilled fighter like the captains. Angelo would still need to practice more but he would need to get some work done, he soon got up and went to find the head captain. This time he would obviously knock before entering, Angelo just needed to do something to put his training to real work instead of trying to sneak up on the captain again. Obviously that got the captain mad at his failed attempt but Angelo wouldn't stop trying to get better and learn his bankai someday to take the captains spot...

Aya listened to the man and nodded. 'I see, that is very interesting. Now tell me.... Did you think I was born yesterday? This is clearly a trap, a man in armor and bitch mcgee just so happen to know about my missing son? I may act like a ditz, but I can be serious when I want to. So now lets play the fucking honesty game." Aya said pulling out her zanpakuto. "Who exactly are you? So help me if i don't like your answer, you yourself will have hell to pay."

Nishiki Kalemoru

Nishiki watched Sui, a small, slightly devious smirk on her face as she listened. "Hey, no offence taken Suzie~ It's not a secret that I'm quite the sexual person anyway so why would I take offence by that silly?~" Nishiki giggled a little herself before smiling at Sui, noticing her blush. "Oh right, too bad~ I want to know more about your sexual side Suzie~ And well, I could teach you some time~" Nishiki leaned a little closer to Sui as she spoke, her voice changing tone at the end of her sentence, sounding slightly seductive. After another giggle, Nishiki leaned back, giving Sui a wink as she did. "Well anyway, What happened to you to make you have to get healed? Did you get into a fight with someone strong? Or have too many Hollows trying to get a taste of your sweet ass? Hmhmhm~"

Nohime walked the pathway of the new looking Seireitei, of course it was clear to most what had happened those three months ago, even to those that were in the academy, however Nohime was standing out without a doubt, as she avoided pretty much every male, but then remained calm around females, and that's how she acted all the way to squad two, lucky for her a female guard was at the time. She asked the woman where to go, and was told to head to the Lieutenants office, so thats what Nohime did, she made her way the the room and knocked on the door, while silently praying that it wasn't a guy.

The beast didn't seem to understand her as it just got closer and closer, once it was in her face it screamed again. It's tailed then shot towards Haruka trying to wrap around her torso with the teeth on the tail poking out. One of the Hollow mask on it's leg then began charging up a blue cero which would shoot out in a wide arc.

---

Tatsuki rolled and soon recovered, Hikari already up.

"No time to waste with you," Hikari said as he held his Zanpakuto out, “Strike and clap, Ken!”

Hikari immediately shot a Feu at Tatsuki which hit him sending him flying. Hikari took this time to shunpo away to head back towards Haruka. As he got closer he noticed a large creature, in which one of the mask noticed him and shot a cero off causing him to dodge it. Hikari shunpo'ed once more and managed to get besides Haruka. He grabbed around her waist and jumped back, getting cut across the side by the tail's teeth but atleast he managed to get her out of that area. Once the cero fired Hikari slammed down on it with his large Shikai causing it to split in two and fire off in different directions hitting two separate building.

Hikari let go of Haruka and held his Shikai out with both hands, water forming along the blade. It then shot off and hit the creature, the force of the attack was enough to create a crater in the ground with the water filling it all the way to the top. The Creature emerged from the water and screeched once again which caused Hikari to tilt his head a bit. Tatsuki then appeared next to the creature and tried petting it, "My lovely~" he called it.

The creature then bit his hand, then yanked and ripped his arm off eating it. "Y-You're just hungry, I see," Tatsuki said with a smile and widened eyes shaking. The next scene was gruesome, the creature began swallowing Tatsuki alive and chewing on him. Though Tatsuki didn't scream, just told the creature that it was ok if he was hungry and that Tatsuki forgave him.

"....What the fuck?" Hikari asked with a disgusted and confused face, he shook it off before speaking, "Haruka, now is as good as ever to attack! Obviously the back is a no-go since there are blades, but the bottom of it on the other hand might not be protected. I say you strike there."

Sui tried to hide her face in her coat when Niki said the last bit, she really wasn't use to people being assertive like that, and a girl no less, so when Niki asked how she got the injuries, Sui slowly dropped the jacket from her face. "Well you know the tattoo I have right? Well in my clan each member has one , and they each contain a certain little power, like my sisters enables her to see despite being blind. and well every fifty years alll the members fight and kill each other to obtain all the powers, when one is gained the tattoo grows, I currently have one, although its a dumb game, but someone from the clan tried to kill me, and well last i saw I blew her off a cliff."
