[IC] Bleach: A New Dawn

[AbigailTenshi]

Nishiki Kalemoru & Ōhi Sango

"O, Okay" Niki pursed her lips, wondering if the girl was usually like this in general or if it was being caused by something else. She couldn't help but wonder, Niki was just too caring for others sometimes, even if they didn't deserve it, she'd always show a little compassion and empathy, something that Rio used to do. "Okidoki" Niki responded before Henry shunpo'ed, causing her to shunpo also. Sango only watched and listened then grinned once Henry shunpo'd, shunpo'ing herself too, following him closely.

Rio Okotaru Darishimo

Rio, however, chose to take the long way and walk it back to the Seireitei. She kept her arms crossed and her feet moving, deep in thought. '-Niki huh?... She reminds me of someone-' Kan voiced suddenly in Rio's mind. '+Me too Kan, I wonder who though~+' Hana spoke after in a suggestive way. '... Is that so...' Rio continued to walk, grunting a little. She just wanted to return to the Captain then go to her room, nothing else. '... She seems nice, maybe I'll see her around again...' Rio spoke in a deflated voice before straightening herself up and shunpo'ing short distances closer to the Seireitei. Hana and Kan kept quiet after Rio responded, they could sense a change in her mood, Rio was always so sensitive and easy to influence... It was about time that she realised that she should just be herself and stop worrying about how others viewed her. The two felt that there was only one person that could return her back to normal, if only they were near...

[Zane620]

Henry kept a decent pace not in any rush as Rio probably wasn't either, besides it could be funny if they arrived extra late on purpose just so Rio got scolded by the Captain for not watching the people she was suppose to be leading. Looking back at Nishiki, he still wondered how she fought with a scythe, a short one at that, the ones he seen were much bigger so maybe hers was more for speed. "So you came all this way out just to kill some Hollows, thats some dedication to your job." Henry said stretching his arm out above him.

Nishiki Kalemoru & Ōhi Sango

Nishiki followed Henry, staying next to him. "Well it was mainly because I was bored really heh heh" She let out a short chuckle while rubbing the back of her neck sheepishly. "I just didn't want that Rio girl to look down on me so I made it seem as though it was just for work. In actuality, my Squad is still Captain-less since Aizen and all... (Since cannon characters have been mentioned, Imma mention that shit) So I was bored of waiting around and thought to go kill me some Hollows" She smiled and continued to walk next to Henry. She noticed how Sango was a few inches taller than her, despite that, the girl seemed to be frightful of a lot of things since she just walked closely to Henry, clutching onto his arm. "I'm guessing that you two are from Squad six also?"

[Zane620]

Henry let out a laugh as he grinned. "I can understand that, although I'm more of the relaxing type, I can understand wanting to fight something every now and then." Henry then listened to the rest of the story and shrug. "Most squads are still captainless, besides Rio aint that type, I mean I havent joined a Squad and its been that way for several years so far." Henry said rubbing the back of his head. Then at her next question he shook her head. "Nope, well.... not yet. More like we will see if we will be able to join Squad Six, it really wasn't a tough mission, and for the most part someone else did our work for us."

[AbigailTenshi]

Nishiki Kalemoru

"Nice to see that you understand" Niki smiled and continued to listen to Henry. "Yeah, I've noticed. And really? Well, she seems like she would... And O? And particular reason why you chose Squad six? You seem more of a Squad 8 person to me" Niki shrugged and looked forward, then grinned suddenly while sweat-dropping as Henry mentioned that someone else seemed to of did their work for them. "Heh heh yeeeah, sorry about that... If I knew that a mission would of been set for cleaning up the Hollows, I would of left them for you lot" She chuckled.

Giovanni went to shusuke, really wishing he knew how to heal. "shusuke! you gonna be alright?" he ask as he knelt beside him. Gio was fat from perfect condition but he wasnt coughing up blood. They did it. they survived, they won, now they just had to make it back home. First he had know what kind of shape shusuke was in. Gio hoisted Shusuke's arm over his shoulder and helped him stand and lean on him. there was no reason to look back. forward toward the horizon.

"I'm fine, just over exerted myself. That hit packed more of a punch than I anticipated though." he said with a small smile. Shusuke recalled himself becoming a projectile and flipping across the dirt like a rag doll. He spit another blob of blood from his mouth and tried to support himself so Giovanni wouldn't have to carry him. "I think I'm alright now." he said, testing the weight and holding his side but remaining standing. "I think we did good and your plan worked quite impressively I might add." he said, wanting to lighten the tension away from his wound.

[Zane620]

"Do I now? I think of myself as a Squad eleven guy, but hey maybe I look the part of a Squad 8 guy. Hear they are pretty odd over there. As for the reason...." Henry looked at Sango clutching his arm and smiled. "I thought it'd be the perfect place to prank people, they all a bunch of serious little group so I imagine their reaction being funny." Henry said while keeping the really reason a secret, while he did want to prank people there, as it could be entertaining to see everyone yelling. "Ahhh don't worry about it, like I said. I'm more of the relaxing type, you just helped to make sure I can relax sooner."

[AbigailTenshi]

Nishiki Kalemoru & Ōhi Sango

"Squad eleven?" Niki was finding it difficult to hold in her laughter, making her voice sound laced with amusement. "Well yes, you do look like the Squad eight type. Is that seriously is your only reason? ... Well, trying not to get murdered by Kurisa Kuchiki then" She laughed, finding the idea of the all famous Kuchiki being pranked by Henry funny, the consequences however, weren't so funny... "Great! Atleast your not mad at me, I guess I did you a favour" She chuckled.

Sango continued to walk a little bit behind Henry, holding tightly onto him to make sure she wouldn't get lost. "Henry Tobias, are we going to see that scary Captain guy again? I don't wanna... He scares me too much... And when I'm next to him, I feel something on my shoulders trying to push me down but I can stand, it's just annoying" Sango voiced her thoughts, pouting a little as she really didn't want to be in that small room with Captain Kuchiki again.

As he saw how hurt his team was and unlike a good healer or teammate he found a certain glee in it. A small smile curved along his lips and he looked almost happy. He took a few steeps in front of Shoske, knelled down and quietly said "I will need you to have some faith in me. I wont hurt him or even damage him, but I can hold him back. Take the paper, slam it down on that seal thing and get us out of here" Reaching for his zanpakuto and as he lifted it out he whispered "Glow Meranko" not much changed with his zanpakuto, but a faint glow enveloped the hilt and blade. When Kaizo started to speak Emilo sank his blade softly into Shoske's skin, trying his best to heal him without making noise.. As Kaizo rambled on Emilo kept going to the best of his ability. But in the end the faint glow rom the blade had turned into almost a beacon of light, he patted Shoske on the shoulder and handed him the paper. "Do as I said..pleas"Getting up from his knees Emilo raised his voice. "So im sure you want to kill all of us really and your just playing nice, that's at least my best guess" He took a step away from Shoske and held his zanpakuto low. He looked at Kazio and nodded "Kazio is right you know" He said as his eyes traveled to the thing in front of them "we are not free and we never will be. But I dont agree that dying here is an option"

Shoske raised an eyebrow, his back feeling better and listening to Emilo "Listen" Shoske said as he stood up "I'm trusting you Emilo, just do me a favor" He paused, taking the seal from Emilo. He stabbed his zanpakuto in the ground and left it. "Don't die out there" Shoske turned away and quickly shunpoed towards the rock, reaching it in no time. However, the hard part was placing the seal. He tried to just place it on the stone, but it would fall off. "Hmm, so I'm guessing I'm gonna have to use Kido. Well here it goes" He placed the seal on the rock, attempting to complete the mission.

The figure smirked, listening to the lots answer. "Dying isn't an option huh" He said, talking to himself. He looked at them and smelled the air. He sniffed it a few times, before a wide grin formed across his face. He appeared behind Kaizo, sniffing the air around him "Your smell...its familiar" He chuckled, vanishing once again this time behind Shoske "So he's hiding inside of the Soul Society huh" Shoske quickly turned, never noticing that the person was behind him. Before Shoske could react, the figures arm pierced his stomach. Shoske coughed up blood "H-hado 31 Shakkaho" Shoske teleported to his zanpakuto, leaving the red orb by the figure. The orb explloded, engulfing the figure. Once the smoke subsided, it was seen standing there, unharmed and unphased. It placed its finger on the seal "So your mission was this huh. It seems that you've failed" The seal was lit on fire, turning to ashes. The boulder began to crack from where the seal was, breaking down into pieces and the cave opening up. He turned to the group

"Listen shinigami, the power you hold comes from the comrades by your side and the bonds which you formed. But is that true power? Do you have the raw power to dominate your surroundings? Do you have the instinct to intimidate and rule mindless, cannibal beasts? Do you posses immortality to allow you to slay your own comrades without a single thought? Do you contain the mindset to allow you break the mental bonds which chain you down to your mortal ways? You don't, none of you have the power to rule. The power of kings" Several black orbs formed infront of him "You have faced many challenges and tests to come to where you are today, but this will be the hardest. The chances of any of you surviving is...slim" He said, with a grim smile. He lifted his finger and pointed at the group, each of the orbs quickly appearing in front of each of the shinigamis. The orbs quickly expanded, engulfing each of the shinigamis. As quickly as they expanded, they vanished. The entire forest disappeared, nothing remaining but darkness and countless whispers invading their heads. Their bodies would lose all strength, causing them to collapse onto the sand. Before their conscious would fade, his dominating voice could be heard in their heads "Let us see if you can spend 100 years of solitude. Nothing but yourself, whispers attempting to make you give in to your darkness and countless battles in your mind. This is an ultimate test of you will, for if it falters for even a minute, then you will die. This is my gift to you, shinigamis, for piquing my interest. If any of you awake, you will have the power of a king but no memory of me. For I am just a shadow, watching over this vast desert" With that, each one of them would lose their consciousness.

.(( In reality, it'll only take a couple of hours, just enough time to go back xD We'll all be back to normal, with our memory ending up til the hollow died o.o but ofcourse stronger >_< I think Kaizo should post first, with the rest of us waking up o.o just a post or two and we're done xD ))

[Zane620]

Henry gave her a confused look as she was trying not to laugh at him. "What? I like to fight, just everything else is a pain." Listening to her some more, he pointed at his eyes. "Its my eyes right? Its gotta be my eyes, or maybe my wonderful personality maybe even my dashing good look. And yes, its a goal of mine, to prank him and survive being mutilated." Henry then yawned and nodded. "Why yes you did, so thank you." Henry then heard Sango speak up so he looked at her, and her reaction to not wanting to see the scary Captain also hating the feeling of her shoulder being pushed down when around him, was a little adorable to him. "Yeah, sorry but we gotta see the cranky man again, after that we will only have to see him if he calls on us, or if I get bored enough to want to do a mission."

[Nicias Askani]

Gio wasnt so easily distracted "yea well it didnt kill as many as i had hoped but they are dead, thankfully. now about this blood spitting. lets try this again. are you ok". As They traveled back to the seireitei he kept asking and asking. He wasnt going let up until he was absolutely sure. which basically meant until a Medic from squad four said so. So thats where they went first as soon as the got to the Seireitei. The job was done, they could report it afterwards.

Nishiki Kalemoru & Ōhi Sango

Niki continued to listen to Henry, biting her bottom lip to hold in the laughs that threatened to come out as he went on about why he thought she thought he looked suited for Squad 8. "Um hum, yes yes, must be the good -hm- looks" She couldn't help but laugh a little but she tried to make sure she didn't laugh too much so she quickly calmed herself down. "Good luck with that, I'll prey for you, despite not being religious. And no problem, any time" She grinned before looking at Sango as she spoke, smiling at her pout.

Sango looked up at Henry and watched him yawn before he spoke. "Dawww.... But Okay" She hugged Henry's arm. "I'll come since it's for you..." She then stopped hugging his arm and went back to clutching it. "Is Henry Tobias tired? We should take a nap after seeing the scary man!" Sango grinned, unable to wait for this to be done and over with.

[Zane620]

Henry frowned at first but even he had to laugh at his own joke, but was laughing really the first thing on her mind to do. "Yeah thanks, I need alll the prayers I can get if I have people laughing at me like that." Henry then smiled sheepishly and nodded. "Yeah, but I'm always tired, just the type of guy I am, but yeah a nap sounds amazing, mostly after seeing scary men. Its the best time to take a nap. Oh yeah that's something I've been meaning to ask you Sango, Tobias is my last name, you can just call me Henry you know?"

[AbigailTenshi]

Nishiki Kalemoru & Ōhi Sango

Niki instantly felt bad and waved her hands around. "N-No! I didn't mean to! It's just you took me by surprise! I think you are a very Handsome man so don't worry about it!" She sighed hopelessly before grinning sheepishly. "A-anyway, we're almost there... And look who's here to greet us" Niki looked over at the barrack's entrance to see Rio leaning against the wall with her arms crossed, waiting.

Sango watched the two talk and blinked a few times before looking up at Henry again, responding to what he said. "Okay! And O-Oh, I'll remember that! H-Henry!" She grinned joyfully before looking over at Rio when Niki pointed her out.

Rio Okotaru Darishimo

Rio had her back to the wall, waiting patiently for the three to come. Looking up, she sensed them and still stood there, waiting for them to come to her. Once they were close enough, Rio pushed herself off of the wall and walked towards them. "Took your sweet time...." She spoke calmly. "We we're just having a little chat heh" Niki responded, this time smiling at Rio. "You should loosen up a little, you seem tense" Rio turned around at this, looking away. "No I do not. I am perfectly fine thank you." Rio made that clear. "Aww Come on, no you're not, you need to relax" "I've had enough relaxing! I need to work." "But work can get too much if you don't chill out every once in a while.... You'll loose yourself and who you are if you're too caught up in stress" Niki walked closer to Rio. "... Look, I'm not interested in what you have to say. We should go to the Captain and end this mission so I can go back to work"

[Zane620]

"Hahaha, I'm not mad about it, I found it funny. Besides Looks are overrated so don't worry about it." Henry said grinning at Sango glad she was calling him just by hsi irst name and not the entire thing. As he looked ahead at Rio where he waved at her, and nodded about them taking their sweet time. "Hey, we didn't have our tiny leader there to poke us to move faster now did we?" Henry then listened to the girls talk amongst one another with Henry scratching the back of his head as they finished. "Awww come on Rio, ya gotta let loose and have fun every now and then. Can't think about work alll the time. Gotta know when to sit back and relax."

[AbigailTenshi]

Nishiki Kalemoru & Ōhi Sango & Rio Okotaru Darishimo

Niki had given Henry a smile before trying to convince Rio to chill out. The latter, however, ignored Henry's comment as he called her a 'tiny leader' and kept her back to the two. "Yeah Rio, Henry's right, lets go! This in an intervention, you can't say no" Niki placed her hand on Rio's left shoulder. "Come on honey, you should know that rest is just as important as work" Rio Sighed and dropped her shoulders, closing her eyes for a moment before opening them and swinging her body back around. "Fine! If it'll stop you two pestering me then Okay, we'll postpone seeing the Captain." Niki grinned, happy that Rio had given up on her stubbornness. "Great! But first, we gotta go to Squad four, a Hollow cut me pretty deep across my thighs" Niki lifted up the bottom of her skirt to reveal two deeps gashes across the top part of her thighs. Rio's and Sango's, who was just watching the entire conversion, eyes widened. "B-Blood" Was the word that spilled out of Sango's mouth before she quickly looked away, leaning closer to Henry's back. "H-How, What... Why did you wait until now to say something?! You should of just went straight there!" Rio spoke, exasperated. "But you are the leader right? I was just following orders..." Nikia pouted a little. "I'm not your leader! Just, come on!" Rio grabbed Niki's right wrist and began to drag Niki towards Squad four, a smug smirk on Niki's face the whole way there. 'That took her mind off work'.

Once at the Squad four barracks, Rio looked around for any Shinigami Squad members that were free. There was no one around, she figured that they were all resting to recover from healing the injured that resulted from the Hollow attack. "I guess there is only on person to go to; the Captain" She spoke to no one in particular, marching to the Captain's office, still dragging Niki, well, holding Niki's wrist as she walked closely behind Rio. Stopping, Rio knocked on what she believed was the Captain's office door. "Hello? Captain? Are you there?" She called, hoping someone was there to answer.

[Zane620]

Henry only grinned even more with people taking his side, and it was enough to take effect as she did agree to relax a little which resulted in Henry raising his fist in the air for victory. It then slowly lowered when Nishiki showed the ashes on her thigh to everyone and suggested going to Squad Four. This formulated an idea in his head of how Sango and Viole would interact, it would be the funniest thing he saw, so without a second though Henry just picked Sang off her feet and walked behind the other two females., as they all made their way towards the Squad barracks, where they waited for someone to heal Nishiki but none were available besides one. So happily and still carrying Sango they made their way to the Captains office.

[Phobos]

Viole was deep in his thoughts, wondering how the four were. Something didn't feel right, giving him a serious expression. The hairs on his head were standing and his teeth were reforming to their original state. "Not good" He said to himself. He knew what it was, who it was. Viole wanted to go, but knew he couldn't. It would only make things worse. What he feared came true "He probably knows where I am at now..." He sighed, hearing a knock on the door and feeling several spiritual pressures. Viole's expression changed to his usual happy, strange self. However, his molars were still as sharp as canines though. "Yes, I am here, come on in" He said, in his regular tone. The door opened by itself. Inside was his simple desk and four seats. His face brightened up with a smile "Ah, Henry you've come to visit me. And you brought friends! Hello, please si-" He sniffed the air momentarily, smelling blood. He quickly got up and made his way to Nikki. Once he got to her, he crouched down and lifted her skirt without thinking, examining her cut. He smiled "Nothing bad" His hand began to glow a faint sea green, before hovering it over the cut. The cut had healed within a matter of seconds. He stood up, never realizing what he had just done "You may sit if you like" He said, just barely realizing what he had done. His pale face had began to turn into a light pink, causing him to bow. "I am terribly sorry, I didn't realize what I just did"

[AbigailTenshi]

Nishiki Kalemoru & Ōhi Sango & Rio Okotaru Darishimo

"Perfect" Rio voiced, sounding relieved as the door swung open. Niki looked down at Rio, smiling at her. Rio was just about to step inside when the Captain walked directly to Niki after merely sniffing the air. Her and Niki watched with a raised eyebrow then "Woah!" Niki's eyes widened as he lifted her skirt suddenly, causing a blush to dust her cheeks. Gulping, she listened to the Captain as he mentioned that her cuts weren't bad and healed them before standing up. Niki just looked at the Captain, her mouth closed until she noticed his blush as he bowed and apologised. Niki then smirked with amusment. "You could of atleast bought me a drink first sweety, but it's no biggy~. I should be thanking you for healing my cuts, soo thank you very much Cap'ain" She smiled at him, finding his look unique and his behaviour sweet.

Rio just continued to watch with a raised brow before letting out a quiet chuckle and walking in, talking the cloest seat and facing the others. Sango kept quiet while she was suddenly swept off her feet and then slide out of Henry's grip once they made it to the others. The Captain seemed to know Henry, he must also be a nice person. She faintly recalled Henry speaking about this person before. While he bowed to Niki, Sango walked closer, her trademark look of curiosity adorned on her face. Standing next to Niki, she tapped the Captain lightly. "Um... Are you a Viole? The one that Henry To- I-I mean, just Henry, was teaching me about?" She asked innocently, watching him with her colourful red/yellow/orange eyes.

[Zane620]

Henry Grinned at Viole and nodded. "Yeah, how are you doing Captain?" Everyone then watched as Viole went right over to Nishiki and lifted up her skirt which made Henry burst out laughing at the suddenness of it. "Thats the spirit Viole." he couldn't help but say still chuckling and Nashiki's comment only prolonged his laugh, before he finally calmed down and hear Sango speak up, this was what he was hoping for, a conversation between these two would be something to remember. So henry leaned against the wall and just watched the magic unfold.
