Ki does not like the sun! Ki is my favorite character! Most of my stuff will probably revolve around her! If you are displeased, Lady Red would be delighted to hear so I can fix that, it is better to tell Lady Red now than to wait for it to get to deep in.


It was early on the next morning and Rangiku had reported to the Captains and anyone who asked, that Ki was still asleep even though it had been more than twelve hours. Rangiku, Toshiro noticed, had a sullen interest in the girl since she had come back from Hueco Mundo. And he wondered if it had something to do with what Orihime said about Gin Ichimaru, though he though that could not be right. He saw Ki walking along the spine of a roof of the Squad 10 barracks with a Hell Butterfly on her forefinger, then she disappeared from his sight faster than he could follow. Though the Hell Butterfly stayed and flew off some place to deliver her message.

She appeared in the Squad 4 medical bay pointing out different things that could be useful on the various patients as she passed through the room. She did not notice as Soi Fon followed her through the area, well, that was what Soi Fon thought, in reality Ki knew exactly where the Captain was and what she was doing. Ki knocked on the door of a room in the Squad 4 barracks and slapped Koizumi upside the head when she answered it. "Why'd you have to call us all so early?" She questioned as she manoeuvred past the girl.

"You're late." Koizumi looked around to make sure no one was there, and failed to spot Soi Fon like Ki and Watari did. "C'mon in. We have things to discuss." She closed the door and there was laughter heard inside. Soi Fon pressed her ear and side to the door so she could listen to their conversation, she was shocked by what she had heard. She Flash Stepped to the Captains hall and was pleased to see most of the Captains and Lieutenants there eating breakfast.

"You're going to want to hear this." She sat down in her usual seat and picked up a little bread roll and tossed it about in her hands to keep them from burning. "I just overheard a conversation that Squad 14 were having. About Hell." That last little snippet caught the attention of the people, and those who were eating their breakfast slowed in the task to listen. "They were speaking of sending some of them back to Hell." She bit into the roll, "Sending some of their Squad back to Hell."

Byakuya looked at her in curiosity, "Are you sure that is what they said?"

Soi Fon put her hand over her heart, "Heard it coming from their Captain himself."

"Then this is a grave offence, we must tell the Head Captain." He stated as he stood up. "Come, this cannot wait." The others soon followed him into Yamamotos office, the old man was eating a bowl of steaming rice and looking over a few documents. "Head Captain, sir, we have something of great importance to talk to you about." The door closed behind him and the others, "It is about Squad 14."

"Old Man!" Was heard from down the hall, after a few seconds of silence, Tsuji opened the door and stuck his head and hands around the door but kept his body from view. "Can me, Yasui, Higo, Hitomi and Hideki open the gates?" Komamura was caught with a sliver of light bouncing off something, he looked around and spotted something unusual. Tsuji's finger. It was made of gold bones. Yamamoto nodded his head. "Thanks Old Man!" He ran from the room giggling like a child.

Yamamoto slivered his eyes slightly, "You must not say a word against Squad 14, they are unusual and stories sad, but they have done no harm to you." Soi Fon opened her mouth to say something but Yamamoto raise a finger with a Hell Butterfly on it and opened his eyes fully to look at her. "Ki has told me that you have been following her for the past while, even sat outside her room while she slept: for several hours."

Soi Fon blushed an angry red, "I don't know what you're talking about." The Hell Butterfly flitted over to her then brushed her skin as it passed by, ready to go where it was called. "I have done no such thing."

"You are all dismissed." Yamamoto sighed as Soi Fon was clearly lying. "You are not to speak bad about them."

When the Captains and Lieutenants left the room Komamura spoke for the first time, "Tsuji. His middle finger turned to bones made of gold." He frowned, "Maybe we should snoop around those who are left. Just in case." He looked down on most of those who were around him, simply with him being taller than them. "Where would they be?"

Soi Fon clapped her hands and a man in a full body black suit appeared on one knee, "They are gathered in the gardens of the Squad 2 barracks, sir!" He disappeared, but many of those there could follow his movements.

"Shall we be on our way then?" Komamura asked, Ukitake decided he was going back to his own barracks because he was not feeling well, but the other few who were there all trudged slowly along the pathway to the Squad 2 gardens. When they got there Koizumi, Anami, Watari and Tange were bouncing about on giant balloons. Ryusaki and Minami were watching them and throwing things at them every minute or so. Leaving Ki and Mazaki to eat, well, Mazaki was eating and Ki was slowly slurping a drink.

"So," Koizumi panted as she sprung off the ball. "How long do you think it'll take them to get back from H-?"

The Captains and Lieutenants know what she was going to say, but Ki interrupted her. "Would you Captains, and Lieutenants, like anything? Because there's no point in hiding behind that wall." Ki said from her place, which they noticed she had changed her position so she was looking at them. They were indeed hiding behind a high wall. "If not," She paused, lingering on what she was going to say. "Go. Away."

The others in her Squad had turned to look at them surprised, apart from Watari who knew they were there. "Oh, Soi Fon," She said before she turned to face them as well, "Why is your face so red?" She giggled, "You look like you've been caught out. And more than once." She gave the Captain a knowing smile. The Captain turned a darker red and coughed. "Yes, yes. We know what you want us to tell you, but I'm afraid we can't."

Anami looked at the faces of those who had previously been hiding behind the wall. "You do remember Ki was once a member of Squad 2 and Watari is an active member?" Realisation dawned on their faces, "Yeah, you're stupid. But," They looked at her hopefully, "If you bring us to the Squad 12 barracks, or wherever you store all your information. We may allow you to know a little about our pasts and who we were when we were alive." Mayuri jumped and lead them all to his office. The grand organ and screens illuminating the room.

"I shall look it up first." He stated as he sat in his seat, Nemu at his shoulder because that was where she always stood. After a few minutes of his fingers running over the many buttons in a frenzy to look up information. Of which he found none. "This is impossible. It says I do not have the required level of authorisation."

"You don't." Koizumi walked up behind him, "Also, there are some things in this file that you should not read. So if you'll allow Ki to do it instead. She can..." She stopped and looked back at Ki. "Well she can get you the information I'll allow." Mayuri got up from his swinging chair and stood beside the other Captains and Lieutenants who had accompanied them. "Ages, names, ranks, human backgrounds, Zanpakuto. That's all." Ki looked over the symbols on the many keys, then her fingers began to skirt over the keys as she did as she was told, and she did so most eloquently. "It would be better if Higo did it, but she is somewhere. As you know." Koizumi leaned on the desk and looked at the screen as Ki encrypted the files to only show the information that was allowed. "So Ki is the second best."

There was a sound of a machine in old use bursting to life below the desk and Ki stopped her typing momentarily. "These are the files. One for ages, names, ranks and Zanpakuto. Another for backgrounds as humans." She pushed herself away from the desk and lifted three thick files from the ground and set them down. She then began to backtrack her steps on the computer so that she could lock that file from Squad 12 use again. "This is all." Mayuri had picked up the files and was walking out of the room. "I do hope you plan on sharing them with everyone Mayuri." She turned around and looked at him.

His blue cloaked head swung back and in annoyance threw daggers at her with golden eyes. "Of course, I just thought we would need a little light." He lead them all to the Squad 13 barracks to Ukitake so he could learn about them as well. "Will you be staying?" He inquired at the Squad 14 members, he was surprised when they laughed at him and walked back to Squad 2. "I suppose it is a good time to start now."
