Day 4

Real World

Ichigo


The sun slowly sinks down as Karin and Yuzu both casually walk with each other back home. It was one of the typical walks thay have with one another, playful banter and laughter-but this walk was different.

Different as in a hollow up ahead different-which was odd to Karin.

Sure, Karin isn't as strong as Ichigo, but she can sense hollows and see spirits, so why did Karin just notice the hollow now?

"Yuzu..." Karin gently pulled Yuzu back. Karin felt it. Even if Karin herself, can take care of the hollow on her own. It's just, Karin doesn't want Yuzu to get caught up and end up in the clutches of a hollow. Not when they're still far away from-

A shrill scream was heard- and it was deathly close. Just a few blocks away and Karin, out of instinct signals Yuzu to stay put as she ran towards the shrill screams that screamed for help. Though, the moment Karin arrived at the scene, the hollow was already disintegrating and bellowing in pain. All Karin saw was a little girl in a mandarin collar, black back zipper, double slits, short sleeves, ankle length, white silk satin with Black and white Lotus embodied at the bottom Qipao. The little girl was tilting her head.

Doom ran through Karin's veins once the little girl slowly smile at her. It was the little girl who took care of the hollow.. The little girl who screamed for help. The little girl who plan the trap that ended so perfectly well- Aizen would be so proud of her.

"Hi there! I'm Yuriko and I'm guessing your Ichigo Kurosaki's little sister.." The happy smile on Yuriko's face turn grimace once Yuriko uttered Ichigo's name. After all, Ichigo is part of the reason why Aizen is locked up. "Because, if you are... I have a little suggestion I'd like to offer..."

Backing up a little, Karin stood her ground as she boldly spoke to Yuriko, "Stay away from Ichi nii, and Yuzu!"

This here- this humored Yuriko. A mere human such as Karin threatening Yuriko who could easily crush her skull within a blink of an eye?

Quietly laughing, Yuriko shakes her head smiling, "It seems like you don't get it... That was rhetoric statement... You don't get to choose and neither does your cute little sister... Right?" Yuriko's red eyes slowly trailed away towards one of her favorite Nodachis who has an unconscious Yuzu tightly wrapped in what seems like a thin web thread coming from her sleeve, "Noriko?"

"Yes Yuriko sama..." Noriko politely replied as she firmly holds onto Yuzu, "This little girl was crying for the safety of her-"

Both Yuriko and Noriko quickly dodges to the left, avoiding Karin's impromptu kick that thoroughly impressed Yuriko. Yuriko knew Karin was able to take down a weak hollow no doubt, but to experience Karin's kick first hand? That there is impressive for a human.

"Let go of YUZU!" Karin screamed as Yuriko glares at Karin. At this point, Yuriko doesn't feel like putting up with Karin's bullshit, so Yuriko looks at Noriko from the corner of her eyes, whispering to her, "You know what to do..."

A grin graces Yuriko's face once she signals Noriko to go on ahead and leave back to Hueco Mundo with Yuzu because Yuriko has things under control, after all, her plan is nicely falling into place-just like she planed.

"Basically at this point," Yuriko notions an unconcious Yuzu as she continues to watch Karin, "you can either come with us peacefully or we'll have to take you by force-but of course that would cause a scene and a scene is is not what I want to create. So." With the snap of Yuriko's finger, a flash of blue passes Yuriko the moment Karin goes unconscious and falls into the 3rd Nodachi's arms who is also known as Isamu who grinned a malicious toothy grin.

Everything is going according to plan... All Yuriko needs to do is wait. Wait till the "fish" takes the "bait"

Though it didn't take long for someone to appear..

That someone being none other than...

"Ichigo Kurosaki..." Yuriko grinned as she proudly stood yards away from him. "The famed "shinigami" that played a big role in taking our king away from us..." Yuriko's eyes significantly darkens. "But. You can fix that mistake so you can undo that wrong. Neh?" Yuriko tilts her head as a grimace grin creeps onto her lips. "How would you like to make a deal with me?"

Ichigo's eyes widen the moment he sees an unconscious Karin being carried by a bright green haired man with a distinct blue lip gauge. The man with the distinct blue lip gauge, grinned a malicious grin at him because the man with distinct blue lip gauge known as Isamu knew Ichigo can't lay a finger on him, because if he did, Karin's life in the palm of his hand.

What's running through Ichigo's mind?

Anger.

Anger was what Ichigo felt once he saw Yuzu and Karin unconscious. He was livid to the point where he lost it- without saying a word, he lunges towards Yuriko yelling, "GETSUGA TENSHO!"

A blast of black reistu was felt as Ichigo's shikai attack bursts right through while Yuriko just stood there and with the flick of her wrist, the blast of black reistu disappears, nowhere to be seen.

"Now." Yuriko calmly confronts Ichigo, "I'll disregard that attack seeing that you're going to have an oppertunity of a life time... I'm going to offer you before you make another careless attack and risk the life of your beloved little sisters..."

Anger shined upon Ichigo's bronze eyes, he was damned pissed off and was no mood to negotiate so, on impulse, he lunges towards Yuriko screaming, "GETSUGA TENSHO!" Another blast of black reistu bursts from Ichigo's shikai as Yuriko signal her Nodachis to stand back as she merely flicks her wrist, surprising Ichigo who saw his attack disappear.

"Now that you know, now matter how many times you use that same attack it will not wor-"

"BANKAI!"

Yuriko face palms as the burst of nothing but power radiated all around her. It was nothing compared to what Yuriko is going to offer him.

With eyes narrowed and eye brow arched, Yuriko casually speaks, "This is it? Is this all that you-"

"EL DIRECTO!"


Day 4

Soul Society

Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, Yachiro Unohana, Shunsui Kyōraku, and Jūshirō Ukitake..


Pressure and urgency loomed over the Seireitei once the order to prepare for war was issued. Everyone was on edge as blades clash in hopes to increase power or to maintain Bankai.

After the battle with Aizen, everyone trained harder than ever to attain the level of power that could possibly be the equal of Aizen...

Though, behind closed doors in the more secretive of rooms of division 1 harbors Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, Yachiro Unohana, Shunsui Kyōraku, and Jūshirō Ukitake.. They are the only ones that know about the true power of both Ai and Kasumi...

But, does Ai and Kasumi really hate Soul society that much they seek nothing but vengence? Or is it just unresolved emotions that allowed their inner power to wreak havoc?

Though, one was for sure though...

They have to prevent Ai and Kasumi from activating bankai.

Their bankai was nearly the death of Soul society...

It's a long story when Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto had a family.. A family that ultimately met their demise...

But that's later on cause right now because the "Ryoka" want one thing and one thing only...

Aizen.

It's Aizen the Ryokas want and it's Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, Shunsui Kyōraku, and Jūshirō Ukitake that's going to make it impossible for them to break through.

More so they think because the Nodachis are the ones who kept hidden in the dark crevasse of Hueco Mundo...It's the Nodachis the Gotei 13 remain oblivious about.

The talk was short and brief. There wasn't any need for unnecessary preactionaries because everyone in the secretive of room of division 1 knew what happened during that one dark night in Soul Soci-

RYOKA ALERT! RYOKA ALERT!

Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, Shunsui Kyōraku, and Jūshirō Ukitake on cue- within a blink of an eye, were all poised and ready for any attack the Ryoka has to offer.


Day 4

Soul Society

Nodachi


Roughly bursting through the purple gash above the Seireitei stands the "famed" 12 Nodachis who all search for their required Shinigami head. They stood towering over the seireitei-that's when the alarm went off.

RYOKA ALERT! RYOKA ALERT!

"Ahhh shit." Groaned Masaru the moment he casually flicked his calloused hand. "Looks like we're been figured out."

"If we were quiet and still the shinigami wouldn't even know what hit them." Ekibyō quietly added as she hid her face behind her signature violet fan. That was when she found the head she'll be harvesting.

"I think I found the head I'll be harvesting~" Ekibyō eagarly chirped once she disappeared within a blink of an eye.

Releasing an annoyed sigh, Masaru looks at everyone behind him. "Let's get this over with."

Without saying anything else, everyone dispersed within a beat of a heart.

Let the chaos begin.


Day 4

Soul Society

Omaeda


RYOKA ALERT! RYOA ALERT!

The stealth force bursts into action as they all blend themselves in with their surroundings-after the tension filled meeting Soi Fon had with Sou Taichou? Soi Fon made it her sole responsibility to take care of the Ryoka. Soi fon had much pride and expectations of her subordinates.. Though Omeada.. Not so much.

"I don't care where you go, just stay out of my way."

That was what Doi Fon told him as he ponders about, to and fro, occasionally cramming his greasy hand iinto his bag of chips before stuffing it in his mouth.

Letting out a deep grunt, Omeada tosses the empty bag of chips to the side, wiping his greasy hands with his Shihakushō. "Stupid Ryoka.." He mumbled while chip crumbs sprinkle out of his mouth. "I bet I could take them down easy, piece of cake-"

Laughter alerted Omeada who quickly dropped his bag of chips and unsheathed his zanpakuto. Omeada at this point-this confidence level is at the top of it's game..

"Come out you lousy Ryoka!"Omeada obnoxiously yells as his eyes darted all around him."Where the hell are you and who the hell are-"

"I'm the stupid Ryoka you could easily take care of-but." Ekibyo, slowly peels herself away from the dark shadows, revealing nothing more than a full grown woman with her short black hair pinned up to the side with the white bones of those whom she killed personally.

She laughs and malicious laughter once she stood before Omeada. Ekibyo knew what she was doing, she just likes to play a little before she harvests his head.

Whipping out her fan, she covers her signature grimace smile as her green eyes gleamed. "I prefer the name, Ekibyo..."ng.."
