When Fumio began to speak up and walked past both Aya and Souta, he asked where their brother was. Aya didn't even hesitate to shake her head. "I won't tell you.... It's much to dangerous for just one person to go there. So when Souta suggested heading back to the Seireitei, Aya nodded in agreement. "Yeah, that seems like the wise choice in the matter. That way none of us get hurt." She said trying her best to smile. Yet Fumio didn't seem to be hearing any of it. So Souta had to convince again, by using Chie and Aya as an excuse to calm him down. It seemed to have worked as he sheathed his blade, so when he suggested they go home, Aya smiled. "Good, besides we probably wouldn't have even got to my brother anyway, he has this big gang, and one of them was able to beat up Ch-" Aya stopped herself right there, before remaining silent. "But y-yeah Seireitei, sounds like a smart choice!" Aya said before walking away from Fumio evasively and taking off towards the Seireitei.

Fumio Hari Kouineji & Souta Fushimaru Hari

Souta smiled as Aya backed him up. "Yes, lets" He was happy that Aya had seemed to of returned to normal. Fumio, on the other hand, continued walking straight, crossing his arms while expecting the other two to foll-... Crack! Snap! Fumio suddenly stopped dead in his tracks, snapping a tree trunk beneath his foot. He had listened to what Aya had said, however she stopped herself too late... "..." He was silent for a moment, returning to his emotionless state as his crystal-like eyes turned cloudy. Despite the dramatic change in aura, Fumio resumed his walk. Souta just watched on, slightly nervous... Thankfully Fumio decided to not do something stupid and continued his travels instead... Realising a sigh of relief, Souta noticed Aya trying to evade Fumio.

"Aya.... Are you sure you're Okay?" Souta had shunpo'ed and appeared beside Aya with Fumio in held in the corner of his vision. "Surprisingly enough, you're even more scary in demon mode... I didn't think that it was possible for you to get scarier heh heh..." He rubbed the back of his head sheepishly, chuckling nervously.

Fumio continued to walk, still within sight of the other two. Absolutely nothing went though his mind... It was completely clear of any thought at all... His eyes were still clouded, his lips pursed, his arms crossed.... All that moved was his feet, he hardly even blinked. 'Ka... zu... hi.... ko....' A voice resounded through his empty and aching mind, drawing his attention. 'J-jo...in....m...me........ Fumio ignored the voice.... 'Co....me.... o-o...n.... let's..... be... co... me.... one..... ag..... again....' He growled viciously at the voice. "Nev-UN!" A loud, abrupt crash was heard from Fumio's location, a huge stone fist in his place...

Eventually, the fist raised as stones and large rocks, even chunks of rock pulled out from the ground, began to form together, creating a huge Golem of mass proportions.

Underneath the fist was a sizeable creator which tore the forest around it out of the ground... but no sight of any body.

"Oi, oi, oi, Kazuhiko-san, it's been too long" A deep voice yelled from the highest point of the Golem. At the very top of the Golem's head stood a man with a cheeky grin, a hand on his left hip as his other hand tugged lightly on his hat.

The man's feet and bottom half of his calves were integrated into the Golem's head with stones that travelled up them, securing the man in place.

"Tatsuki-san... As if you're still alive... Albeit I'll admit, I'm rather impressed~" Hovering in the air with his arms still crossed was Fumio, his face still straight as if nothing had happened. Fumio shunpo'ed higher into the sky, enough to be face-to-face with the Golem. A smirk played on Fumio's lips. "Mind informing me how you haven't died yet? Last time I check, Furoshi-san had claimed he murdered you, right up until I took his last breath~" "Furoshi-san's an idiot... He tried to fake my death just so I could escape from you" Tatsuki face-palmed before looking back at Fumio with extreme hostility. "We're all sick of this game! You hunt us down one-by-one and expect us all to just fall into place and let you don't you?! Do you have no heart!! You kill those who sacrificed so much for you before all of this shit!! And you do it with a smile... How?! Why?! YOU'RE A FUCKING MONSTER!!!!" Tatsuki lifted his left arm, nothing but hatred in his eyes for Fumio as he made the action of swatting Fumio away with his palm. The Golem followed Tatsuki's movements, aiming to hit Fumio. The latter just chuckled before shunpo'ing, causing Tatsuki's eyes to widen.

Fumio then reappeared on top of the Golem's head, directly behind Tatsuki. Turning his head to look behind him, Tatsuki gasped. "Want to know why I can kill you all off so easily? Why I do it without a second thought? Why even when you beg and plead I show no mercy? Why I continue to torture you all, letting you believe that you have even a small chance to survive before stripping it from you along with your life? I can tell you... There's only one answer to all of those questions... Because I love doing it~" Tatsuki's wide eyes grew wider as he watch Fumio smile as he talked.... He looked like a true monster in Tatsuki's eyes.... "Y-you.... Fuck you... It's only a matter of time before Souta is killed... then following him will be that damned traitor you love so dearly... Huerona.... THEN YOU'LL FEEL OUR PAIN!" Tatsuiki moved his head, causing the Golem to move it's head and force Fumio to fall back off of it. Fumio only grinned, allowing himself to fall while looking up at Tatsuki, chuckling madly.

The second before Fumio was going to hit the ground, he shunpo'ed, but then reappeared a short distance from his spot, unsheathing his black and red blade with a creepy grin. "HEHEHE! TIME TO FIGHT!" He yelled, the demonic undertone in his voice returning.

Meanwhile

"Tatsuki... hm..." Souta breathed out and gulped, stood dead still and paralysed in fear as he eyed the Golem. He just couldn't bring himself to go over there... He knew he didn't need to anyway... Fumio was much stronger now than he was before, which was rather frightening for Souta but he knew Fumio like the back of his hand so hopefully he could stop the latter from returning to his old self.... If it wasn't too late...

[Zane620]

Aya continued to not look at Fumio, although she could tell what she had done, took an effect on him. So when Souta came over and talked to her, she gave a smile and chuckled nervously. "Yeah, I'm fine at the moment. And i can only seemingly do my demon mode when I'm angry. I wonder why. All I know is that the farthest I've ever went was the second form, which is what you saw." Aya said before she heard a loud smash and then looked up to see a Golem standing there. Talking to who she believed to be Fumio. She couldn't quite hear what they were saying as it was somewhat muffled for her, so she looked at Souta with a curious glance. "Ummm mind filling me in? Or is this a clan secret type of thing? Come on, you can trust little ol me. I promise I wont pass out this time." Aya said with a little smile as she looked up at him adorably.

[Zane620]

Staring into the small eyes, on the small body of Amaya, Yu grinned as he tossed Amaya in the air slightly and watched her giggle when he caught her as she came down. She of course showed her love, by pulling on his hair, yet that only made him grin. "Guess you like flying huh? Wanna fly again?" Yu asked with a smile, Amaya let go of his hair and then gave a look that seemed to say, Of course. So he obliged her and tossed her into the air a few more times before stopping, as she spotted Meowgi and began stretching her arm at it, so he set her down and watched her do what he can only assume to be a little war cry and she made her way to the cat. Yu grinned and sat down at the table, examining some papers , only to see a drawing of a stick figure with rather long blond hair. Yu stared at it for a bit, before trying to read the paper. 'Well at least it was only a message about clearing out some Hollows." Yu said trying to resist the urge to laugh at the drawing of Shinji that Amaya made.

Rio kept her arms crossed while watching Shou, her face never budged from her usual expression. She tried to urge him to go with his first thought or something he enjoyed doing. This would give Rio an insight to what Shou's go-to skill was which would also help her decided who'd be the best mentor for him. Usually one wouldn't go through so much effort for another they didn't know... Rio wasn't like that, she'd go that extra mile to help anyone who'd seek her assistance. The current situation vaguely reminded of her first meet with Kaiz-... She shook her head all of a sudden to prevent her mind from wondering towards that part of her memory... Now wasn't the time nor the place.

Shou listened to Rio speak then gave a light shrug guess he had to just show her what he could, a good thing he had just spent the past few minutes working on that Kido. Shou started by using the tumbleweed Kido, he formed it so that it would appear just above him, he then unsheathed his Zanpakuto and in one swift movement from the unsheathing, to the precise cut and the sheathing of his Zanpakuto, he destroyed the tumbleweed effectively and with great precision. Shou then formed a few more tumble weed, once again they formed in the sky and began dropping towards the ground, as they did Sho fired off three individual Kido to destroy the tumbleweeds and in this order they were used. Hado 4, Hado 31 and Hado 33, they were all used with great speed, each one carrying great power and speed without the incantation, further showing Shou's skill. Shou then formed another tumble weed, once again the same as it dropped from the sky, Shou then shunpoed under it as it fell and once it got close he threw his body back and into the air, flipping back he slammed his right foot into the tumbleweed sending it flying before landing on his feet again, he then turned to Rio and blinked "Is that enough" Shou then grinned at Rio, hoping he had done good, he didn't show much but it was something at least...

[AbigailTenshi]

Souta Fushimaru Hari

Souta's eyes were fixed on the Golem, watching while he gnawed his bottom lip nervously. The sound of Aya's voice attracted his attention, causing him to look at her and spot her adorable smile. '... So cute... Stop being so cute!' Souta blushed a little but soon shook his head to return to normal. "Well, long story short, he's here to kill Kazuhiko and then me next..." Souta looked back at the battle unfolding in front of him. "The guy who's controlling that thing is at the very top. His name is Tatsuki Dou Hari... He won't win... He can't win again Kazuhiko... I mean, Kazuhiko was strong before, the strongest, but that's nothing compared to his strength now..." He spoke as he watched but kept the corner of his eye on Aya, hoping that she didn't do anything. "... Don't get involved Aya... This is between Kazuhiko and Tatsuki... Only one will continue to live in the end... Another soul gone due to this fucking game..." The last sentence Souta spoke was silent, barely audible as his eyes slid down saddened.

Rio Okotaru Darishimo

Rio's eye widened during Shou's display. It was done with great skill and precision... It was just interesting to watch. Her eye reverted to normal as she clapped a few times. "I must say, that was a really good display of talent and skill... You are much more advanced than I thought" She finally let herself smile, giving Shou a small smile to show her appreciation. "I was expecting one or two tricks, but nothing of that level... Hmm, I believe based on that display, Squad two may be suiting to you. I do have someone in min-... hmm... Um... Well, that person is unfortunately not with us at the moment..." Rio looked down, trying not to let herself get upset again... 'Why does everything keep reminding me of him?.... Uh...' "Um... Anyway, someone from Squad two may be an effective mentor for you..." She smiled a little once more, looking back up at Shou. "How does that sound?".

[Zane620]

Aya nodded as Souta spoke about who that was, and what was going on. A battle to the death pretty much, yet it seemed more like Souta wanted nothing like this to happen, and despite him saying don't get involved, Aya couldn't help but pout and lightly punch Souta's shoulder. "idiot, your face tells more than what you say. " Aya then crouched a little before jumping up really high into the air, enough that she was below Fumio. "Hey Femme! Why can't you just drop it, and talk it out? Fighting can only go so far. Besides this isnt the Femme I know, and I know it's not the Femme, that Chie knows." Aya said before shunpoing in front of the Golem guy. "And you. Can't you find it in your heart to forgive Femme? From what it sounds like, you all had a hard time growing up, maybe Femme had reasons fro what he did in the past. Yet that's just it, the past. Its suppose to be left there for a reason." Aya then looked at both Fumio and the Golem man. "So come on Femme, lighten up a bit, you always tell me to be more considerate of my actions, so i think you should talk with Rocky without violence.....Or you know, i could kick both of your asses." Aya said as she looked at Rocky, and quickly poked his cheek.

Ōhi Sango

Sango's breath was calm and controlled, a smile stretched across her face. Cuddled up against Henry as usual, the girl stirred in her sleep before moving more on top of Henry's body, finding the feeling of lying on Henry extremely comforting. Sango felt safer the closer she was to Henry, hence why she found it difficult to stay away from him for too long. Her eyes soon fluttered open as she stretched a little. "H-Henry?.." Sango whispered once she'd crawled close enough to Henry's ear.

[Zane620]

Henry was sound asleep with quite the warm feeling of Sango cuddled up against him. So when he heard her adorable little voice whisper in his ear, he opened one of his eyes, and looked at her pretty face, and smiled. He sat up a bit and stretched his arms letting out a slight yawn. "Why, good morning Sango. I must say, its quite a lovely wakeupto hear your voice first thing in the morning." Henry said smiling as he leaned down and gave her a kiss on the forehead.

Shou looked at Rio as she spoke, he then noticed her drift off a little but it seemed for once she was smiling, it was then Shou knew he wanted Rio to be his Mentor. He saw the kind side of her and that was what he wanted in a mentor, As Rio mentioned Squad 2 he just couldn't help but see her mind drift off and when it did he got closer to her then pulled on her uniform and looked up at her "I don't want to be in Squad 2, I want you as my Mentor so I will likely join the Squad you are in..." Shou looked up at her with an innocent face, his hair falling infront of his left eye a little

[Vongola_Hasayo]

Hasayo navigated the streets of the seireitei carrying a small gift box. Navigated isn't the right word though as he still found himself twice lost on the way to Squad 4. "Ugh, a whole year and i still can't get around. What idiot designed this maze anyway?" He sighed as he finally entered the walls of Squad 4. The members directed him to the proper room. He hesitated to enter only to hear the one he came to visit speak up. "Get in here already. You're still so sloppy with you're reiatsu that I could sense you down the hall~" Hasayo walked into the room with a slight smile. "Oi, how are you feeling Misako?" His fellow shinigami from Squad 13 say up in her bed. "A little pain here and there but I'll live." She said with a smile. Hasayo's gaze feel at her choice of words. "Here, just a little something to say sorry." He said handing her the box. "I'll find a better way to make it up to y-Ow!" Before he could finish Misako cut him off with a flick to the forehead. "That's enough of that." She gave him a stern look as he rubbed the stinging spot on his forehead. Her expression faded to a look of concern. "I've heard about how you've been sulking around the barracks."
Hasayo looked away from Misako. "I'm not sulking, I just...because of me you were badly hurt."

He was referring to their latest mission where Hasayo left Misako to hold off a hollow while he rushed to protect some people from falling debris the hollow had caused. When he took off without warning Misako became distracted and ended up suffering severe injuries.

"I made a stupid move and we both ended up in here. You, longer than me." Misako sighed. "I know you've been frustrated lately but you can't blame yourself. A little heads up would have been nice but at the same time I shouldn't have lost my concentration." She tested a hand in his shoulder. "After a year all of Squad 13 knows that you'll rush to the aid of anyone who needs it. That's just what you do." Hasayo clenched his fist. "Still, if I was better I could've avoided injury and gotten to you faster and you wouldn't have been hurt as bad as you were." Misako smiled softly. Everyone in the squad admired the crimson haired kid's caring nature. "Things would have been a lot worse if you weren't there. I'm grateful for that. You still lack experience but you've got the resolve to make up for it. Just remember that you can't protect everyone but you can't let it stop you." Hasayo relaxed and looked at her. "Thanks. That's just a little harder when it feels like you haven't gotten any stronger in three months." Misako smiled. "You've just hit a slump. It'll pass, don't worry." She then proceeded to open Hasayo's gift. He sighed feeling a little relieved. I hope so...otherwise I don't think I'm cut out to be a shinigami... He thought before Misako started to gush over the box. "Sushi from my favorite restaurant~" Hasayo chuckled. "Yeah, I asked around the squad."

Fumio Hari Kouineji, Tatsuki Dou Hari & Souta Fushimaru Hari

Souta felt Aya punch him lightly, then after she spoke, his eyes dropped to the floor. Aya then jumped. "Aya! Don't!... Ugh, not like she'll ever learn to listen to me..." He pursed his lips and continued to watch, knowing that Aya wasn't the type to stand back and let the inevitable happen... But he felt like she'd be able to bring about change...

"HEHEHEhehehe~!" Fumio couldn't help but laugh, it had been a while since he had felt his alive. This feeling was almost unfamiliar to him now... But he still enjoyed it, being able to let go... While moving at a high speed velocity, Fumio held his sealed Zanpakuto horizontally, both hands on the hilt. With three sharp and precise strokes, Fumio had cut the Golem in a zig-zag pattern, chopping from it's hip to stomach, then turning to chop from it's stomach to upper back, then lastly from upper back to across Tatsuki's left wrist.

"Arrrh.... shit..." Blood poured onto the top of the Golem's head as Tatsuki's left hand had been cleaved off, leaving the guy one-handed. "Fuck!!!" Tatsuki yelled, holding the end of his left arm with his right hand. The Golem's left hand shattered also. Tatsuki's movements caused it to mimic the guy in doing the same actions.

"Oh fuck yes~..." Fumio had stopped himself, turning to look down at Tatsuki. Blood had been splattered across Fumio's blade, as well as a little had got onto his face. "Ehehehe~ Need a hand? AHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!" Fumio laughed loudly, his eyes completely clouded in amusement and blood-lust as the light reflected off of them. His face held a wide, creepy grin which showed once he promptly stopped laughing to look at Tatsuki, licking his lips.

"Prick... y-you'll die.... f-for what-t... y-you've DONE!!" Tatsuki yelled before lifting his right hand off of his left arm, swinging it back and forming a fist. This was followed by the Golem doing the action, but then someone stopped him... A girl had decided to speak up.

Once Aya joined the field, she began preaching to Fumio... He wasn't listening at all at first, still bent on fighting Tatsuki, but then she mentioned Chie causing his face to snap back to normal for a moment before he looked at her. "Ch-Chie" He whispered before a large stone fist clashed with his body, sending him flying and crashing into the ground.

Aya then turned to Tatsuki after he hit Fumio, making him look up at the stranger with only his right eye open. "Forgive? Past? Ahaha-argh..... Y-you don't know K-Kazuhiko.... He's a monster.... h-he needs.... t-to die.... Ta-talking... wont help. He's killed too many people... to be forgiven" Tatsuki spat the word out venomously as Fumio managed to stand, a large creator underneath him from where he crash-landed. "Eheh... Eheh... Ahaahahahaha... AHAHAHAHAH!" Fumio began laughing before he shunpo'ed directly into Tatsuki's face. His eyes were wide in utter amusement, in contrast to Tatuski's widened eyes of complete fear. "You think I'm a monster? Aheheheeheheh~ You don't know the meaning of monster... I would show you right now... but you're too pathetic, weak, for me to even bother~" Fumio plunged his sealed Zanpakuto into Tatsuki's stomach, the latter closing in on himself while coughing up blood on Fumio shoulder. Tatsuki's eyes were as wide as dinner plates, the realisation of his death dawning on him.

"KAZUHIKO!" Souta screamed, shaking at the sight in front of him... 'O-Oh no... I-I thought Aya would help him... Huu... Look at how weak I am, relying on Aya.... I.... I know there's nothing else we can do... but... this... this can't go on.... Why didn't Tatsuki just let Furoshi help him!!' Souta clutched his head with both hands, squeezing his eyes closed.

"You, all of you, know what happens when I find you~ Looking for me only makes it easier for me to find you~ Even if you knew better and hid like a good little number, you might of been able to live a little longer~ Oh well, it's your fault you died today~ Time to say goodbye nine." Fumio watched Tatsuki cough up more blood, hearing him choke on it... At the same time, he pushed his blade into Tatsuki a little further. "Kesshō no sōsei ~ Gaishō" "ULGH!!!" Crystals pierced through Tatuski's body, a cluster of thick Crystals shot out of his back. Blood then began to pour out of Tatuski's mouth and onto Fumio's right arm as the guy took his final breath and feel limp onto Fumio's arm. The Golem beneath mimicked each movement before shattering into a pile of rocks the second Tatuski's heart had stopped beating.

Through the whole time, Fumio hadn't blink, not even once, only watched silently. Souta, however, couldn't bear to look... A few tears leaked out of his tightly closed eyes. "T-Tatsuki-san.... N-no....". "..." The Crystals that poked out of Tatsuki's body began to cloud with black. Once the Crystals had turned fully black they retracted into Fumio's Shikai before he pulled it out of Tatsuki's body while the two of them began to fall. Quickly, Fumio shunpo'ed to catch Tatsuki's body before it hit the floor and instead, landed softly. Looking down at the lifeless body in his arms, Fumio pursed his lips and blinked, his face returning to a blank state. "I'm sorry.... But you knew what would happen and you tried to believe that the outcome could of been different this time... but you were wrong Tatsuki-kun...." Fumio turned before he started walking over to Souta, carrying Tatsuki.

"You stop right there Crimson!!" Souta had opened his eyes, glaring furiously at Fumio. The latter immediately stopped, looking back at Souta with a blank stare. "What the Fuck Kazuhiko! I thought you were fucking done with this!" Souta yelled more, causing Fumio to just watch him and register but not react to it. "He could of lived! You could of let him go!!!" At this point, Fumio bent down and placed Tatsuki's body onto the ground. Standing up, he looked back at Souta. "Don't forget who I am Souta. As much as you want to ignore it, hide it or erase it, you can't. It is who I am, I can't help that... Kill or be killed...." Turning around, Fumio jumped onto the top point of a nearby tree. "I'll see you two back at the Seireitei." His back was to Souta and his voice was monotonous.... however the smirk on his face that he hid from both Aya and Souta showed a completely different emotion towards what he just did.... Within a second after speaking, he shunpo'ed.

"DAMMIT!!!" Souta just couldn't hold it in, he needed to yell....

Rio Okotaru Darishimo

Once Rio looked back, he was tugging on her uniform... Cuteness was certainly one of Rio's weaknesses... Shou must of known because he was certainly getting to her... Rio's face blanked for a moment as she looked down at him, noting the fact that he was shorter than her. "... Well, someone of your level of skill... should be with someone of a higher level... But... If you're completely sure that you'd want me as your mentor.... I guess... I could fill the position until you're ready to take on a person of higher skill as your mentor..." Although Rio didn't feel that she was right for the job... She had made up her mind. If Shou thought so strongly towards this then... She guessed there would be no harm in accepting the proposition. "Keep in mind though Shou, I will not go easy on you. You will not be able to give up no matter what. If you're willing to accept the challenge, I'll become you mentor, for now atleast." She crossed her arms, but gave another small smile to show that she wasn't all stone...

[Kurisa]

Shiro now the Captain of Squad 11 and feeling like he had finally earned the title Kenpachi wanted to celebrate but he knew asking his Squad to celebrate with him was pointless, they would never agree as a lot of them had seen Shiro drunk and Shiro drunk was NOT good for anyone, especially them. So without a word Shiro left his barracks, his tattered Haori flickering in the wind as he walked down one of the many roads of the Seireitei. After a short walk he arrived at a bar and the second he stepped in everything seemingly stopped which only caused him to grin, he then walked to the counter then spoke "Get me the strongest drink you got! And don't give me any shit!" The barkeeper shook a little as he grabbed the bottle of drink for Shiro, he then went to get a small cup only to have the bottle snatched from his hand and found Shiro chugging it down, he then slammed the bottle down then spoke "Get me another!"

As Rio agreed to be Shou's mentor he grinned then threw his hands in the air and began running around her, almost entirely ignoring the fact she would be serious at times. He didn't care for that though right now, the first step of his dream started today and this women would help him get there which would hopefully do her some good. As Shou ran around Rio he then stopped behind her and leaped up onto her back grinning "Yeah! Number one Mentor and Student! we are going to beat some baddies! then we going to have fun!!" Shou then began laughing a little, un aware of the fact that what he was doing may annoy Rio

[Kurisa]

Juki had brought Kaizo back to the Hideout and had him healed up before he called Kaizo into the dining room, Juki motioned for Kaizo to sit down then began speaking "I'm going to ignore the fact you almost died and hope you learned your lesson. The next part now is for you to grow stronger...we need to teach you how to be a Captain so you can use your power properly. You posses great power and skill however you fail to apply it in an effective way, instead you rely on using what you are used to rather than the entirety of what you know" Kaizo listened to Juki then sighed "I'm sorry Master Juki. I understand I acted harshly to the situation, however it was only because my friends were there...not only that but I have someone special back there but I don't even know if she remembers me anymore." Juki watched Kaizo as he spoke then Juki closed his eyes and began speaking "She remembers you and you will get to see her soon...just be patient Kaizo...it takes time to perfect something," Kaizo bowed his head and began thinking about Rio. That was all he wanted to do now was get back to her and just be with her but with every passing moment he couldn't help but feel as if he was loosing her...he may already have lost her. This time however, he would do what his Master said and if what he said was true he would get to see Rio soon...

Aya pouted at the fact Rocky hit Fumio. "Hey now. You two should talk it out like adults, everyone's done something bad in the past, hence why i said leave it in the past." Aya said yet Fumio didnt seem to be listening, as quickly as he came back up, he had quickly killed rocky, leaving Aya speechless as she stood there watching what Fumio had done. "Femme...." Aya muttered as she lowered down to Souta, who seemed to be mad himself and he had a good reason to be. So when Fumio left Souta yelled out in anger, which made her look at him, giving him a tight hug. "So was that what your childhood was like? Makes me feel bad thinking mine was shit." Aya said to him. "You know, when Chie was young and she was upset I always told her that to feel better she should just let it all out. If it was anger, or she was sad. Simply letting it out would make her feel better. So go ahead, I promise I wont tell."

Given that there was no response at the squad 12 barrack Giovanni made his way over to the squad 13 barracks. While he had been to quite a few barracks for a lot of different reasons 13 was one of the few he had never visited. There was no particular reason other than he never had any dealings with them. He had a friend that was in the squad last he heard but he hadnt heard from him in a long while. The place seemed so far out of the way by the time Gio finally got there, mostly because he had never been there before. it was a surprisingly serene place, he noted before asking to speak with the captain.

"Of course, his office is this way." A squad member answered leading him to Daishin's office. Inside Daishin had just finished his last attack of paperwork. "Such a tedious task challenges the limits off the mind." He sighed. "Hmm, I've heard that Squad 6 generously handles the paperwork for a number of other squads..." His musing was interrupted by Fang who perked up smelling someone at the door. Daishin sensed found that the reiatsu was a new one. "Please, come in!" He sounded before the newcomer had a chance to knock.

Lucy vs Shoske
Lucy was jumping from roof to roof, looking for a place called the Shino Academy. She had only been to the Seireitei a couple of times so she had no idea where the academy was at. Suddenly, she skidded to a stop and backflipped, landing on another roof "Come out, I know you're following me. I can nearly taste the killing intent in the air and I don't have time for this. I've been looking for the Shino Academy and I'm in a bad mood right now" Shoske jumped out from an alleyway, landing on a roof across from her. "Not bad, I was waiting to confront you somewhere more suitable but this will have to do" He said, unsheathing one of his zanpakutos. Lucy instinctively went for her one sword "......." A bead of sweat went down the back of her head Thats right, I left my sword with Hozumi Shoske chuckled "Left your sword at home?" He removed his second sheathed zanpakuto and tossed it to her. Lucy raised an eyebrow, catching the sword and quickly unsheathing it "You sure this is a good idea?" Shoske shrugged "Don't know, only one way to find out" He grinned, shunpoing in front of her and sending a quick slash towards her neck. Her eyes widened, moving back to barely evade the slash. She leaped back. landing and skidding on another roof "Phew, you're faster than I thought. Guess you're not a typical shinigami are you?" Shoske chuckled "You have no idea"

The two shunpoed forward, meeting halfway and clashing blades. Lucy quickly overpowered Shoske, sending him flying towards the ground. Shoske skidded and flipped across the ground, barely managing to land on his feet. As he looked up, Lucy was already thrusting the sword towards his head. Shoske moved his head to the right, slashing diagonally with his zanpakuto. Lucy jumped back, evading the slash. Before she could counter, Shoske had already followed up with a series of slashes, each with great speeds and precise strikes. Lucy managed to parry each slash, reaching out and grabbing his arm. She squeezed his arm tightly "Face it, you're outclassed in every way. Just give up Shoske moved his head back. Lucy's eyes widened as she quickly released her grip "Don't you dar-" Shoske quickly moved his head forward, his forehead meeting hers. The impact sent her flying through the nearby buildings, causing a commotion. Shoske rubbed his forehead "Holy shit, that was like hitting steel"

From the rubble, Shoske's 2nd zanpakuto quickly went flying towards his head. He moved his body and caught his zanpakuto with ease. He grinned "Finally, some killing intent" Lucy came walking out of the rubble, a crimson glow surrounding her body. As she walked towards him, all of the crimson glow began to flow towards both her feet and her hands. The glow began to take shape, resembling the claws and feet of a beast. She dropped down to all fours, digging her fingertips into ground. Shoske sheathed his second zanpakuto and grabbed the hilt of the other one with both hands. He let out a burst of golden reiatsu, a wide grin forming. For once in so many years, Shoske felt excited. The golden reiatsu began to surround his zanpakuto as he charged towards her. She kicked off the ground and ran towards him at full speeds, a giant trail of dust behind her "RYODAN!!!""BARIKIBA!!!! The two met half way, his blade and golden reiatsu clashing with her reiatsu imbued claws and crimson reiatsu. The two masses of reiatsu collided, causing an explosion and dust cloud.

Shoske was panting, blood dripping from the cuts which covered his body. Lucy was standing in front of him, her crimson eyes returning to their emerald green color. She came out relatively unscathed. The cloak which hide her horns were burnt to a crisp "Do you still want to continue?" She coldly asked. Shoske grinned "As long as I breathe, I won't stop fighting!!" He charged towards her, about to cleave her in to "Bakudo 61 Rikujokoro. Bakudo 63 Saju Sabuku" Before he could strike, the two Bakudos had trapped and immoblized him. Despite that, he mustered all his strength and still tried to move. Lucy looked him dead in the eyes "That look in your eyes, I've seen that look. If you continue down that path, it will only lead to your own destruction" Shoske chuckled "But what other choice do I have?" Lucy turned around, her hair waving with the wind. She began to walk away "Its the opposite way, you've been heading the wrong way the entire time" Lucy turned, mildy confused "What?" Shoske smirked "The Shino Academy, thats what you were looking for right?" She raised an eyebrow "Are you sure you want to tell me? For all you know, I can be a big bad guy or something" Shoske chuckled "No, when we clashed blades I could tell you were good deep down inside" Lucy smiled, turning back around "Thanks" She shunpoed off, the bakudos trapping Shoske shattering shortly after. He used his zanpakuto to hold himself up "Looks like its back to Squad 4 again. And afterwards, some more training" He said, sheathing his blade and limping off to Squad 4 barracks.

Giovanni followed the guide. He was relieved to have actually gotten a response. He moved to knock on the door but he was invited in before he got the door. When he opened the door to approach the Captain the first thing he noticed was Fang. out of everything he was expecting to find in this place a Lion was not even on the list. It almost made him forget why he had come but he remembered well enough. "Captain Xang." he Bowed "my name is Giovanni Cain, Current 3rd seat of Squad five and acting commander of the Kido corps. Thank you for seeing me" he introduced himself politely with respect.
