"Nice to meet you Souta and well Squad 12 does deal what that stuff but not as often as you think. We do more monitoring and maintaining than anything else...It may seem silly but I may as well ask what your role is within Squad 8...I'm interested in how other Squads are run..." Kagiko still continued to smile, not showing any sign of being serious...just friendly...after all, that's just how he was and if that was a bad thing well...that was just tough luck

"Oh, Okay" Souta continued to listen to Kagiko speak. "Ehee.... well, I'm mainly there for the Lieutenant of the Squad... I'm er, not actually from here... um, I guess I'm just an unseated member" Souta rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. "Well, Squad Eight is pretty relaxed when it comes to how it is run, we pretty much get freedom to train as much and how we want... I've never actually met the Captain, but the Lieutenant says he's a swell guy so I guess he's nice... So erm, how is Squad Twelve run?"

As Shiro reversed it so Teiji was going at Seki's attack, she wasted no time in moving her left arm grabbing Teiji's leg and tossing him to the side, she continued moving her blade downwards at Shiro with her Spiritual still growing higher, but blood was pouring out of her mouth at this point, yet Shiro wanted a fight, and by damn, she was going to give him one, she did however stomp on the ground causing the area to crack under them a bit, so it could throw someone unprepared off balance.

Shoske was meditating in the a small garden in the Seireitei. His reiatsu wasn't as monstrous as the others, but he made up for that by refining his reiatsu control, learning how to condense his reiatsu rather then let it overflow. Suddenly, the ground shook. He ignored it, figuring it was just a random brawl as usual. Then another earthquake and one more. However, he had managed to tune out all of it, remaining in a deep meditation. Then, a few voices could be heard behind the wall "Hey did you hear, the Squad 11 practically challenged all of Squad 11!" A wide grin formed across his face as his eyes opened "Woah really?!" Said the other Shinigami "Yeah! Hey someone should tell that shinigami that's meditating!" A shinigami walked through the door into the area Shoske was at, but nothing was left except a crater. "Weird, I could of sworn he was here"

Shoske shunpoed from building to building, shattering the roofs as he moved to the next. A wide grin was on his face the entire time as his blood began to boil "Hopefully the fun isn't done by the time I get there!" He yelled, picking up his speed.

Sinai followed the lieutenant, and was introduced to another member of the squad. she would have to spar her? that wasnt too bad. way to gauge her skills. when the woman known as keisa drew her blade, Sinai took note of the length. it was a standard sized katana, where as her own was shorter, more of a tanto blade. she simply had to find a way under her guard. Sinai moved forward, closing the distance before reaching for her own sword. as she moved she put both arms behind her back to confuse her opponant as to which hand the sword would come from. she surged both hands forward, in her right hand moving fast was her blade held in a reverse grip style. she swung in an upward angle to knock Keisa's sword upward, if she managed to block it. her left hand moved intentionally slower with a follow up punch to hit her under her guard if they clashed swords. or to make a counter attack harder if she missed with her first strike

Keisa watched every step Sinai took, holding her Katana firm in her left hand. "Now, remember Keisa, control is key." Rio promoted Keisa, knowing the girl needed more work on controlling her spiritual energy since it tended to spiral out of control often. Keisa nodded while glancing at Rio in acknowledgement before looking back at Sinai. The girl placed both hands behind her back, however Keisa only kept her eyes on the whole of the woman's body, her own body still. Sinai then launched so Keisa held her sword out with her left hand, pointing it to Sinai. Keisa's sword was then knocked upwards but Keisa kept her eyes straight as Sinai sent a punch heading for her gut. Keisa grabbed the girl's fist, holding her there while pushing her sword against Sinai's, trying to force the sword back as Keisa quickly lifted her right knee, aiming to knee the girl in the stomach.

Souta continued to listen to Kagiko speak. Souta rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly.

Kagiko listened to Souta speak then nodded as he thought for a moment before speaking "I see...well nothing wrong with that I guess. I assume the Lieutenant is a friend of yours...and to have not met the Captain is truly odd but I guess they aren't always around and relaxed? That sounds like the ideal Squad for me...a shame a have a good brain. Squad 12 is run like a machine, it's always working and never sleeps...unless you are me, then you do your work then sleep...but for the most part no one there seems to sleep except me, they are always working...I don't see what takes them so long. I can finish most things in a few minutes to a few hours...it's like a puzzle half the time..and easy one at that..."

[AbigailTenshi]

Nishiki watched Shiro simply side-step the guy, throwing him into Seki. This made her chuckle but then Seki threw the guy and continued her attack, which make Nishiki chuckle a little more since the guy had literally been thrown around like a rag-doll. Shiro's voice then boomed into Nishiki's ears as she snapped her head up, grinning. "Okay Captain~" Ignoring Seki's attack, Nishiki jumping up just before Seki stomped on the ground, pushing her feet against the wall that she was stood in front of, causing her knees to bend before she propelled forward, launching off the wall. Nishiki flew towards Shiro, flinging her body up while aiming a kick across Shiro's face which was gained force as her leg move through the air.

Sinai kept her left foot forward to solidify her balance and her stance, since she just threw a punch with her left foot. The catching of this fist was a decent surprise and it locked them in place. Sinai could feel her opponents weight shift to her right side, which meant something was coming from Sinai's left. both hands were accounted for so the knee to the stomach was taken as Sinai shifted her weight from her left foot to her right foot. she pushed hard against he blade with her right arm while she lifted her left foot quickly into the kidney of the opponent. her stomach stung but moving away from the blow lessened the damage, but still hurt. Sinai snatched her hand back to release her hand from kiesa's grasp and swung again with a palm strike, a Tessho. if it landed that would be great but it was really intended to put knock her completely off balance by making her dodge. as Rio might be noting, Most of Sinai's moves are precise, she has both hit and miss strategies for most of her strikes.

"Well, the Lieutenant and I are really close friends. We grew up together so yeah.... And it's more because of me never visiting the Captain's office, I tend to say out of anything to do with the Squad itself since I'm not planning on staying here much longer. Oh right, well damn, sounds quite boring... I guess maybe you're just too smart, but there's nothing wrong with that, I'm pretty sure you can still hang out in other Squad's whenever you're on a break so that's a plus. From what I've heard, Squad Twelve people tend to be... erm... rather different in a creepy way... However you seem not like that at all!" Souta rushed out the last part of his sentence to try and not offend Kagiko. "I guess I can't really say anything though heh, the people I know, or more knew, weren't normal, but they were nice...." Souta sighed before looking back at Kagiko. "Well anyway, were you heading anywhere?"

Gio went to his office to rest. Wit a significantly lightened work load it was a well earned nap. As he laid his head down and drifted he was pretty much dragged into a dream. Everything around him was on fire, the sky was black with thick clouds of smoke, ashes fell like snow. He started running through the fire, through the seemingly endless burning forest. Trees were crumbling and threatening to crush him as they fell indiscriminately. The piles of ashes got deeper and deeper, the firers hotter and hotter. He tried to jump but it didn’t work. He tried to shunpo but it didn’t work. He tried Kido, it didn’t work. He reached for his zanakuto, but it wasn’t there. At this point he couldn’t even move, so when the burning tree came falling down on him there wasn’t anything he could do.

He woke up at his desk, angrily. So much for a decent nap. He let out a yawn and rubbed his eyes. “what kind of nightmare was that?” it almost made him want to go cut down a tree for falling on him in his dreams but that seemed a bit much. As soon as he stepped out of his office he knew something was up. He closed his eyes to focus his senses, all signs pointed to squad 11. He wouldn’t be surprised if that was why he couldn’t sleep. But when you cant sleep you can always eat. And there was bound to be some food left.

Summary:
The group reaches their destination after sharing personal information.
Kenta and Rose try not to let their demons control them as they face off against more of the hollow implemented experiments

KentaA2P2

After a few hours Kenta had informed them all of the situation even if Leon was sleep and missed most of it seemingly. He even had enough time to inform them of what happened to him since they left and them him, though none of them were looking to turn it into a pity party, and instead were going with the mentality shit happens to stop it.

But now it was time to move out. It was night out and they all wore dark cloaks with the hood covering their heads, though Kenta doubted someone six feet and six’ two wouldn’t be spotted walking around so he had covered them with a Kyokkō, no questions asked.
Once to their destination Kenta walked to the door and looked at Deuce and Leon, “You two stay here; I’ll tell you when to come.”

“Fine by me,” Leon said as he laid down, his face facing a building wall. He smelled something he didn’t particularly like smelling, and something he didn’t want to have a risk of lying on so he just stood up and walked to a cleaner part. He leaned against the wall and lit a cigarette smoking. Kenta let out a breath before swiping away the Kyokkō.

He nodded to Rose and they walked inside, closing the door behind them. It was dark, so dark that they could hardly see a foot in front of them let alone each other. “I got this,” Kenta said as he held his palm upwards and summoned a Shakkahō letting it light up a few feet around them. He looked over at Rose who widened eyes just lowered as she scooted closer to Kenta. They then began walking.

“Why pick me?” Rose asked.

“Well Deuce isn’t exactly the stealth type, he’s more of the loud and proud type,” Kenta replied as they began walking down some stairs into a lower part of the warehouse, “And Leon isn’t exactly patient, he’d try to rush things where we need to take it slow in case of traps.”

“You know what I mean!” Rose said, “You know I don’t like the dark…”

“I didn’t know it was going to be dark….Besides, I knew you didn’t like being alone,” Kenta told her, “But there’s no going back now, alright?”

They continued walking for a few minutes without them making a single noise; they didn’t even hear each other breathing. Kenta stopped walking for a second and looked around. “We aren’t alone in here,” Kenta said as he saw the shadows move, “Looks like they expected us.”

“K-Kenta….”

“Back to back!” Kenta commanded as they did just that, “We have to take them out….Don’t let the darkness control you, Rose!”

Kenta then casted away the Shakkahō, though before the lights went out they both got a glimpse of what they were to be up against. Not something that got past well with Kenta.



Before anything else happened Kenta jumped high into the air while grabbing Rose by the collar. He landed back on the top part of the warehouse, looking over the railing at the little girls floating around. Apparently Kenta was too quick for them to see.

Kenta shivered and clenched his fist, they were just little girls! What sick fucking bastard would…? Kenta snapped out of it when Rose pulled his arm causing him to look down at her. His widened eyes resorted to normal, and he stopped shivering and shaking.

“You’re telling me to not let something like my past control me, practice what you preach idiot!”

The two had known each other long enough to know what bothered them, and when it did. Truthfully Kenta did know about her fear of darkness. When Rose was younger she was bullied by her sisters and their friends, and was usually locked in a closet allot.
Long story short she got attacked by a hollow at one point at night when her sisters left her to try and tease her, of course she could handle hollows now but…Mental scarring stuck around, something Kenta knew well especially since he was experiencing it now.

Or more so his protectiveness over children, as he didn’t want them to experience childhood like he did. Family loss (Multiple times), risks of death…Rape. Kids deserved to be happy, and carefree. They didn’t deserve to be treated like nothing! And he shouldn’t let that feeling take over him, but instead use it to help him fight.

He nodded towards Rose. “And you seem to be handling the darkness well…Yeah; our demons shouldn’t control us,” Kenta said as he looked back at the girls floating around, “Remember what I told you, destroy the hollow parts only.”

Kenta and Rose then jumped back down to the ground floor, raising their energies to get a bit of light but it meant continuing to raise it. Once the girls came at them Kenta did a quick flip above one and aimed his palm at her back shooting off a Hado # 63 though weaker than it originally would be from him. Rose simply spun and kicked the girl in the back shattering the masks. Once they looked at the girls on the ground they resorted to normal, but obviously weren’t going to live.

Their backs were cut out, seemingly where the hollow masks were. And the ghostly part where their legs were, well…They had no legs. Were they really going that far with their experiments?

“It’s better than letting Hollows force their way into their heads,” Kenta said trying to make the situation seem better, he failed. He flipped the girls over and crossed their arms over their chest, “May you find peace in the next life,” Kenta mumbled as he gave them both kisses on their foreheads before walking off with Rose, hopefully they’d be able to save some lives before anymore situations like those happened.

....But if it came to another situation like that then they'd atleast make it quick.

Kesia felt pressure from Sinai's sword, even though she could of simply raised her energy to force Sinai's sword back towards her, she chose not to. This was a spar to show Sinai's skills after all so to make Rio's job easier, Keisa held her sword with the same amount of pressure, allowing Sinai to push her backwards a little and land a kick to her side. Keisa strengthened her stance to take all of the force behind the kick without moving, which was a decent amount in Keisa's opinion. As she let Sinai wiggle out of her grip, Keisa's eyes kept on Sinai's face as the girl attempted a Tessho, which Kesia simply moved her head to the right so Sinai's palm moved passed Keisa's head across her left shoulder, meanwhile Keisa headed forward aiming to head-butt Sinai and send her flying back.

Chie hugged him then walked out of the room and then picked up her own Gigai which was dressed more like a boy, than a girl. Chie led him for a bit before they reached their destination which she opened the portal and skipped through it, and shortly afterwards made it to the human world in a forest near the city. Chie then went into her gigai and hide her sword under some leaves. She then looked at the city and giggled a bit as he waited for Fumio to get into his as well.

Fumio hugged Chie back before following her out of his room. Once Chie had opened a portal and skipped through, Fumio followed, stepping into the human world for the second time in his life. Looking around the forest, he watched Chie put on her Gigai before following suit. "This feels... really weird" Lifting his hands and looking down, Fumio felt the Gigai before looking up to and noticing Chie looking towards a city. "Well, let's go Gemstone~" Walking up to Chie, Fumio grabbed her hand to walk alongside her, paying close attention to his surroundings and making notes of all the usual sights he saw.

Henry walked into his room and watched some butterflies fly past him which made him smile as he looked at Sango and beamed happily at her, as he walked over to her and poked her nose. "Hey, I have a surprise for you, but it requires going to the human world, but I'm sure you'll love it. However, if you don't want to. I can understand. I will say this though, while we may see people, they wont be able to see us. Almost like we are invisible. So you up for it?"

Sango giggled to herself as she played with the many butterflies she had caught so that her blue butterfly with the pale red spot had friends. That certain butterfly seemed to rest on Sango's shoulder and just flutter it's wings slowly, but wouldn't move no matter how much Sango tried to introduce it to the other butterflies. Hearing the door open, Sango's face beamed brighter as she watched Henry walk in, setting some of the butterflies free and smiling back at her. "Hu-man world?" She titled her head slightly to the left in confusion before smiling and jumping up into Henry's arms. "Yes Yes! Let's go see what it is Henry!" Sango cheered while the butterfly with the pale red spot flew off of her shoulder and sat on top of her head instead.

[Zane620]

Chie looked at Fumio and moved her hand. "Well its meant to make us feel humanly, so it's going to take a few minutes before we can get use to it." Chie said before looking at the city again, which Fumio then took her hand and said he was ready to go. She noticed he was still carrying his sword, which made her give him a questioning look, but hey if he got in trouble that would be a sight to see. Chie then began walking to the city, as she began to think of what the could possibly do today. "Hey can we go see those people on those screens? That sounds amazing to see." Chie asked looking up at him.

---

Henry laughed at Sango's response of jumping into his arms, she was certainly upbeat about this. he also watched the butterfly land on her head, which made him chuckle. "Well when we get there little guy, you might want to stay with me, she will probably be having too much fun." Henry said as he shunpoed off and soon after opened up the portal, where Henry walked through with Sango, they were in a forest somewhere, yet Henry again shunpoed off, and in a few minutes landed on a giant rock with nothing but an entire ocean in front of them. "This is an ocean, the water will probably feel different than a pond, but I thought you would like to see this anyway."

[AbigailTenshi]

Fumio continued to walk with Chie before looking at her with a small smile. "Yeah, let's go there first" He continued to look around, noticing a few people giving him looks, mainly looking at his sword. He didn't pay any mind to them, like as if he was really expected to leave Gaishō behind, the likeliness of that happening were extremely slim... As he continued his looking, he noticed quite a few couples enjoying themselves; laughing, smiling, feeding each other and kissing. Fumio averted his eyes downwards and just watched his feet move, his eyes looking towards his hand holding onto Chie's. 'Hmm....'

[AbigailTenshi]

Sango smiled and closed her eyes when Henry shunpoed. The butterfly stayed on Sango's head throughout the whole journey until Henry stopped shunpo'ing. It then flew onto Henry's shoulder moments before Sango opened her eyes to see a vast amount of water in front of her. "Wooooaah" She gasped, her eyes taking in the beautiful sight. Something about water, such as ponds, lakes and this, made Sango feel free, out in the open to live any way she wanted. "I-It's.... so pretty! Thank you Henry! I love it!!" Sango looked back at Henry, grinning at him cheerfully before giving him another hug and walking to the edge of the rock. She looked down, watching the water move across the rocks. Bending her knees, Sango jumped into the air, more excited than she had ever been in her life before diving into the water. Raising to the surface, she looked up at Henry and yelled. "THE WATER FEELS REALLY GOOD!" Nodding her head rapidly to add more emphasis to her statement, Sango looked down at her reflection in the sea, smiling before driving back under once more. Looking around, she saw so many new fish and sea creatures it was mind-blowing for her. Sango then spent time swimming alongside a school of fish, dolphins, poking starfish and corals then playing tag with a shark, finding it funny whenever it tried to bite her but missed.

[Zane620]

Chie smiled at him as he agreed and continued walking, however with Chie leading, they really weren't getting to the destination, and halfway through of walking around, she looked up at Fumio and pouted. "I.... don't know where it is. If only I could. OH YEAH!" Chie shouted as she poked another female that looked her age, and asked where the place with the screen of people was. However, she seemed more confused and simply looked at Fumio as if to ask if this girl was serious.

---

Henry sat down on the rock and took joy in watching Sango's happiness. She didn't seem to care that the water was probably different than what she was use to. Although he didn't expect her to play with a shark either, yet despite the shark trying to kill her she loved everything. Henry was quite glad, that the shinigami's didn't corrupt such a person. Truly it made him happy to see one bright star among all the chaos.

[AbigailTenshi]

Fumio chuckled as Chie voiced that she didn't exactly know where they were going. She then asked a random woman on a street for directions who looked as though she didn't understand what Chie was talking about and so looked at Fumio instead. "I believe she means where erm... films! Yeah, where films are played on a large screen that loads of people watch at the same time. We're not from around here you see, we're visiting" Fumio chuckled before looking at Chie then back to the woman. "Can you direct us to the nearest film-playing building?" He asked.

[Zane620]

The lady listened to Fumio speak then nodded that she understood, she then however pointed to the building right next to them. She then smiled and walked away, while Chie looked at the buildings, and the fancy pictures out front, the pointed at the one that was clearly a horror movie. "I want to see this one.... How do we make it play?" Chie said poking the screen of it which made few people watching her laugh at her. "I think its broken, it won't play the people!" Chie shouted, which an employee came out and then told how it worked. "Oh....."Chie then pulled money out of her pocket and handed it to the man, and got two tickets, which she then grabbed Fumio and dragged him inside to the room. Where she sat down in a seat making Fumio sit next to her. And as the movie began, not even a few minutes into it, before a jump scare occurred with Chie jumping out of the chair and into Fumios seat.

[AbigailTenshi]

After playing with the Shark for abit, Sango accidentally hit it too hard when tagging it, causing the creature to be pushed quite far away to the point that Sango couldn't see it anymore. "Ehehe Sorry!" She tried to yell underwater before turning her body and just swimming. She then came across the Dolphins again, watching them jump out of the water before diving back into it and repeating the action. Swimming behind them, Sango mimicked the Dolphins, unable to stop giggling happily as she did. After a short while of playing with the Dolphins, Sango swam back to the rock where Henry sat with the butterfly still on his shoulder. "Henry! Did you see! Did you see me play with those big fishes!" She spoke excitedly while looking up at Henry with her same old large grin before climbing the rock and plonking her bottom next to Henry, looking out to the sea once more while swinging her legs and gripping the edge of the rock. "So this is a O-ce-an? It's so pretty, the water is much more clearer than the pond and there's alot more to play with and more friends to make!" Sango turned her head to Henry, smiling. "I'm glad I met you Henry... please... never leave me behind Henry Tobias... Okay?" Sango looked down at the rock under Henry, still smiling, but a little sadly as the thought of Henry leaving her made her really upset however she didn't want it to show.
