Masks

Sitting up from the floor while rubbing his eyes, Ken looked down to his chest to see Haylee cuddling into him, making him smile Ken looked to his bed to see Hope… hugging Apacci while Franceska was holding her back, the two were drooling in comforting bliss.

Looking around while carefully getting up, Ken rubbed his head to feel the bump from when he and Haylee fell from the bed.

"Ow" climbing up while holding Haylee, the woman gave a moan in her sleep as Ken shifted her in his grip.

Kissing her head as he set her back into the bed, Ken spoke quietly.

"Get some sleep, Hays" getting a soft moan from the woman as she turned to Hope and Apacci, Ken smiled at the sight before walking down the stairs, finding the Shinigami sleeping away their wounds, moving to the fridge to get a drink before moving to the suite above his Room, Ken sat on the balcony seatings beside the Inactive Hot tub. Ken enjoyed the night air while drinking.

Ken leaned his head back, the sound of a throat being cleared made him look before jumping at seeing Cyan hovering near him with a blank look, saving his beer as he nearly fell, Ken sighed.

"Sung, Why?" seeing her look in amusement, she sat down beside him with a curious look.

"You didn't notice me" giving her a look, Ken sat back down with a sigh, drinking the beer with Cyan watching him intently, Ken spoke with a frown.

"What?"

"How do you know Harribel-Sama?" giving her a frown, Ken spoke.

"What?" seeing the woman clear her throat while looking to the Hot tub, she corrected herself.

"You call her Haylee, but when I first met her, she introduced herself as Tia Harribel… Who were you to her during her time alive?" seeing Ken look up to the night sky with a saddened look, he spoke.

"She died, in my arms, after three years of being paralysed, finding me… she was killed by the witch boy Klarion" seeing Cyan paying full attention, ken continued.

"When I saw him crush her ribcage after she died, I felt… empty… and Angry, and when I saw how smug that leech was… I blanked" looking up in thought, trying to recall what had happened after Haylee's official death, Ken spoke in slight alarm.

"Oh shit, I went berserk" seeing Cyan tilt her head with interest, Ken gave a cold laugh as he sipped his beer.

"That explains the blood I tasted in my mouth and the sight of Klarion's body looking like he was mauled" shivering at the memory after mourning, Ken looked to the Omnitrix before he looked up to Cyan who had set her hand over his wrist.

"So you were her lover, who felt the pain a hollow feels upon being lost form their loved ones" seeing her trace her finger up Ken's chest, her eyes stared into Ken's calm green.

The Arrancar for some reason found herself lost in his eyes.

"You understand the pain we go through" moving to say more, she stopped as Ken's eyes had taken a possibly hauntingly beautiful glow.

Blinking as she stared into soft amber orbs, Cyan felt reminded of a wolf hunting in the dark, reaching for his face gently. Ken gave a soft growl like purr as he leaned into her hand.

Making Cyan blush at his eyes never leaving her, she spoke.

"Ken-san?" snapping the man from the trance with his eyes melting back to normal, he spoke.

"What's up?" seeing her frown at him, she leaned forward to capture his lips with her own, making Ken startled for a split second before rolling with it.

Forcing his tongue into her mouth, Cyan moaned gently as his hands snaked to her hips to grip gently.

Feeling a set of fangs in her mouth, Ken reached for her chin to caress.

Pulling away with a string of saliva joining them, Cyan was breathing heavily with her cheeks tinted red, Ken smiled at her.

"Nice fangs" seeing her hide her mouth with her right sleeve, she sat up while avoiding his eyes until Ken gently pulled her hand away.

"Not the first time I've seen a set of fangs" seeing her look abashed, Ken sat up while adjusting Cyan's sitting position.

Pulling her closer, Ken gave a rueful smile with Cyan blushing at his closeness.

Ken held her chin gently as his eyes glowed once more.

"I find it a turn on"


Stepping into the room with a moaning Cyan in his arms, her clothes half taken off, he gently set her onto the bed to cuddle Haylee, Ken moved to the door before closing it quietly.

Looking to the window of the hallway to see Sunlight beginning to rise, Ken gave a small yawn as he climbed down the stairs.

Ignoring the fresh scratches on his upper back while making several cups of coffee, Ken crossed his arms at letting the Kettle boil, Ken looked up to see Rukia stepping down the stairs in a pair of underwear provided for her along with one of Ken's shirts.

Rubbing her eyes as she stretched, Ken smiled at her as she moved to lean her head on him.

Giving a soft moan as her slender arms tried to wrap around him, Ken held her close before Hope came down fixing her hair into a Pony tail, she stopped at seeing Ken smiling at her while hugging Rukia, the magician joined them at the bench.

Setting up several cups for the coffee, Hope waved her right hand which made the kettle shake with steam rising from it more profusely, making Ken chuckle as he began making coffee and tea.

Handing Rukia a cup while picking one for himself, Ken blew on the cup before carefully taking a sip, moaning at the rich flavour, Rukia followed his example with Hope giggling softly at the scene.

Taking a sip with Ken, Rukia went to speak if not for the door top open, showing Toshiro stepping inside with a Large object on the back of Nemu with Momo following with a bag of groceries.

"Oh good, you're awake, we need to set this up for Proper communication" Giving a look to Nemu at her casualness of carrying a big ass bag of… something. Ken turned to Toshiro as Momo put the bags on the Kitchen bench, taking a sip from Ken's coffee before moving to empty the bags of food, Ken blinked at her action while Rukia looked to Toshiro in surprise.

"So they finally sent our requisition order?" getting a nod from Toshiro, Ken lead Nemu into a Room in the basement that wasn't filled with weapons.


Helping her lift some of the objects with her instructions, Ken found himself helping assemble a Wide screen.

Staring at the machine as Nemu put the finishing touches, Ken crossed his arms as it came to life, giving a nod of approval, Ken and Nemu moved to tell the others the device was ready.

Moving to make Breakfast for the large group, Ken set up the table with plates with the help of Momo and Hope, Haylee and her fraccion stepped down the stairs with Apacci helping Cyan walk with a look of amusement, the Snake empress trying to not meet Ken's amused gaze while Haylee had a knowing look his way as she took a plate.

Stepping beside Ken as he began dishing himself a plate, Haylee pecked his lips before moving to a separate table, leaving the Shinigami sitting wary of the Arrancar until Momo and Nemu sat with them, Rukia and Hope following suit with Ken looking down to his phone giving off an alarm, Ken took it out to see it labelled, setting it back into his pocket, Ken moved to the door with a strip of bacon in mouth.

"I'll be right back, need to find Ichigo" getting looks from the occupants, Rukia frowned in worry with Ken nodding to her before turning to Hope who sat at attention.

"Keep them from killing each other, and by them I mean the Shinigami and Haylee's Fraccion" getting an amused nod from the woman, Ken left while dialing the Omnitrix.


Flashing green with Omega taking the stage, he floated into the sky while moving to the warehouse district.

Landing on a roof overlooking a lone warehouse, the roof having a large hole in it, Omega looked over the area before he noticed several things.. the most noticeable being the wildlife avoiding the warehouse.

Floating down with grace, Omega focused his eyes to see the Barrier hovering over the warehouse, Ken sent a pulse of reiatsu to gain after images of old traces, seeing one of Orihime walking away before being led by Yoruichi's familiar presence, Omega focused purely on Ichigo's reiatsu.

Stepping to the barrier while giving it a gentle poke, Omega stepped through without trouble, even going as far as to alert the one who created it.

Seeing the damage to the inside, Ken gave a whistle before following the sounds of battle.

Seeing the group within one of KIsuke's basement like areas, Omega ignored the few eyes on him until he stared intently to the little blonde brat who jumped at his sudden presence.

"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!?" getting the full attention of the Visoreds and Ichigo, the teen perked up in surprise.

"Ken, When did you get here?" tilting his head at the question, Ken pointed a thumb up the stairs.

"Followed Orihime" getting a surprise from all of them, a military like man spoke to Shinji.

"I told you we should have kept her here!" before he knew it, Kensei Muguruma had a blade to his throat, alarming the others with Omega leaning forward.

"Be careful what you say, Shinigami. Otherwise I may rip that face off and leave you with that Hollowed one as a permanent replacement" getting an alarmed look form the others, Omega dispelled the blade to speak to ichigo.

"I had the feeling you were having trouble, So I came to see if I can lend an ear" getting dumbstruck looks from the Visoreds, Shinji spoke.

"And what can you do?" giving him an unseen smile, Omega was replaced by Revenant, his fangs glinting hungrily.

"I have knack of controlling my instincts when changing species, Plus" turning to ichigo with his eyes glowing eagerly, Revenant spoke.

"I want to try my luck against him with that mask" getting a hesitant look from the others, Ken rolled his eyes as he stepped towards the teen.

"Are you sure?" getting an incredulous look from Ken, he gave a laugh.

"Kid! It would be my genuine pleasure" getting a shiver from ichigo as he took a stance, Revenant grinned viciously as he rushed forward, summoning ice swords in both hands, Ichigo's eyes widened as he ducked under a blade before getting kicked back.

"Call that mask out I wanna see it!" hearing the maddened growl of Revenant, ichigo stared not at Ken, but a new man who stalked towards, the floor coated with ice particles with each step.

"Show me you're instinct to survive, show me you won't be held back by petty morals" flying forward suddenly with Ichigo narrowly dodging impalement, the teen leaped away as the point the blade struck exploded with ice shards spiking outward.

"Show me you don't fear your power!" getting a surprised look from Ichigo, Revenant spoke with a grin.

"If I can use my power without fear, why should you, it's yours use it, don't let your fear dominate you, conquer it and make it your strength otherwise you'll be left in the dust to dry up and perish!" whipping his hands back with a cold aura, a shadowy figure manifested above revenant, Bat like wings stretching outward.

The being sporting a demonic like visage.

"SHOW ME ICHIGO WHAT YOU CONTROL!" throwing his arms forward, the entity flew forward with it's arms clawing the ground while approaching Ichigo, Revenant gave a knowing smile as Ichigo reached for his face.

And seeing the mask of ichigo manifest, Revenant charged forward with an ice dash to slide to Ichigo's left, making the teen react with Zangetsu brought up to deflect the ice blade, Ken gave a laugh as he danced around Ichigo who looked forward in time to block the jaws trying to bite down on him.

Watching as he slid back, Revenant dashed into the fray to tackle Ichigo through a boulder, leaving the Visoreds stunned.

The first to speak in a slight amount of shock and fear, Love Aikawa had a shocked face

"That… That presence?"

"I know" turning to Shinji as he watched Ichigo Fight in a way against Revenant who kept his full attention.

"It felt like a hollows"


"Come on ichigo, keep your mind on me!" slashing at the teen who tried to deflect each strike while avoiding the manifestation of Revenant, Ichigo ducked under the jaws before he got a kick to the face.

Shattering the mask with ichigo tumbling away, Revenant went to follow him if not for him to notice Zangetsu on the floor.

Moving to pick it up, he stopped in hesitation before grabbing it.

Making him choke as he felt his mind split, Revenant gave a snarl as his mind blanked slightly at feeling a mask over his face.

Ken gave a pained snarl as the mask solidified, Ichigo was alarmed at the fact it appeared as soon as Ken grabbed his Zanpakuto.

Staring at Revenant with the other Visoreds paling as Ken felt his face.

Revenant turned to ichigo with surprise as he dropped Zangetsu.

Reaching for his face, Ken took it off as he flashed green.

Staring at the mask in alarm, Ken stared at the snarling visage of a Wolf as it's bone like colour faded into charcoal black with gold highlights.

Looking over the mask, Ken turned to Ichigo who had a stunned look at his Zanpakutō.

"What, the hell kind of Zanpakutō is that?" getting a look from Ichigo, he spoke.

"I need to speak with my mom"
