"Why did they leave me here? I'm hungry..." Rurichiyo retorted loudly as she sat on the edge of the fountain, Kenryu landing a few feet from her as he reported "Hime-sama, I've found something like the fabled convenience store."
Rurichiyo felt relieved at hearing that, looking at Kenryu through the thin fabric of her hat as she ordered "Give me the food you got then."
"Sorry, Hime-sama, but I can't shop for food without a Gigai. None of them have arrived yet." Kenryu spoke nervously, Rurichiyo scowling at him before trying to remove her hat only for her guard to press the hat onto her head as he replied "Sorry Hime-sama, but without this hat your reiatsu would be sensed by those after us."
"P-Please be patience Hime-sama and wait for the special Gigais to arrive. If word got out that you were here..." Kenryu added as he stepped back, bowing to her while trying to calm the blonde as he decided include "Enryu and I are conducting an important experiment so please don't leave my side."
Looking up, Kenryu was surprised to see that Rurichiyo had ran off while he had been bowed to her.
...
Yukio frowned as he used Rebellion to slice another Hollow in half in midair, the numbers of them had risen in the past few days and had seen the Gremory and Sitri groups split up and spend time hunting them down, although only a few of them skipped class to do so. The silvernet flexed his wings for a moment to stay aloft before turning to see Rias destroy another Hollow with her [Power of Destruction] before spotting a young blonde girl in traditional garb having tripped over so her face covering hat fell off.
{What's that girl doing here?} Masayuki spoke up with a frown.
"Rias, a spirit has wandered in." Yukio called signalling to the blonde before he swung his sword to slice another attacking Hollow into pieces. Rias had set up a barrier over the area so that humans and anyone unaware of the supernatural world would be diverted to elsewhere or stayed in their homes to cover up their fighting.
Dealing with the last of the Hollows, Yukio flew down to land next to Rias as the blonde spoke in a snobbish tone, "If you can see spirits then you're obviously Shinigami who can fight in their Gigais so obviously you should follow my orders to get me some food."
"Listen here, little girl. I am the heiress of the Gremory Clan of Devils. You don't get to order me around." Rias replied with a glare at the blonde who sniffed haughtily before turning to Yukio and saying "You do it then."
"No way." Yukio replied with a roll of his eyes as the girl stomped her foot and glared at him, even as he added "You should leave the area in case more Hollows attack."
{Yukio!} Masayuki called in concern, Yukio turning to see two Shinigami diving towards him with a swarm of Hollows chasing after them. The two men landed between Yukio and Rias and the girl before grabbing the latter and leaping away, Yukio pushing Rias away before the swarm of Hollows crashed into him.
"Wha...? Why?" Rurichiyo spoke shocked before Kenryu answered "It's his duty as a Shinigami to give his life for you."
"Yukio!" Rias cried in concern before Ddraig roared from inside of the pile [Sub Species Balance Breaker: Red Dragon Demon Mail!]
The trio turned to see an explosion of power as the Hollows were all cleaved apart by Nevan's scythe form as Yukio rose from out of the pile. The two guards gulped as they realised they had inadvertently angered one of the people that they were here to seek help from before turning to escape only to see Keiko standing there in her nurse uniform with her arms crossed and a glare fixed on her face as she asked "So... You two tried to sacrifice my little brother..."
Enryu and Kenryu gulped at seeing Keiko's aura flare into life before Rias' own joined as she walked up behind them as she added "I think we deserve some answers now..."
...
Rurichiyo felt deservedly fearful as she sat in the club room, her two guards nothing more then lumps of meat on the ground behind her after the beating they had taken from Keiko, Rias and the other girls in the room, all of them, bar Keiko, had also been testing some Kido and Hado spells they had been learning and the blonde, Asia, had taken to healing them just enough to make them survive their injuries. The most of it had occurred after the other girls had found out that they had tried to sacrifice the Seishinryuutei.
Yukio was sitting on the sofa opposite her with Koneko on his lap, who was glaring intently at the Rurichiyo, and Rias sitting on his left while Keiko hand changed into a pair of black leggings and a loose pink jumper and was sitting in an armchair and the rest of the Gremory peerage was standing behind the sofa Rias and Yukio sat on along with Georgia, Kotume and Kotake who all shared a stink eye towards the two guards while Arisu didn't look too happy at them either. Kiyome's glare was hindered slightly by her rabbit parts being on display and even Orihime had joined them with a dangerous look in her eyes and wisps of heat coming from her clasped hands.
"Now, what exactly are you doing entering my territory without my permission and trying to kill my Yukio?" Rias asked in a stern tone, Rurichiyo letting out a huff as she answered, attempting to regain an equal footing, "I-I don't know... My guards brought me here without telling me."
RIas blinked in surprise before she turned her gaze onto the two guards of the young blonde, Keiko frowning as well as the former spoke "Asia, can you heal them well enough to talk?"
Asia nodded as she approached the two guards, activating her [Twilight Healing] so she could heal their jaws and head. Rias moved to stand over them with a glare as she ordered "Talk. What are you doing in my territory?"
"N-Not in front of Rurichiyo-sama..." Kenryu retorted quietly, Rias' frown growing before Keiko spoke up "Yukio-kun, please take Rurichiyo-san out and show her around. I've got a friend bringing some Gigai so you'll soon be able to eat."
"Koneko, Arisu go with him." Rias added, getting a nod from the [Rook] and green haired girl as Georgia added "I'll go with them as well to avoid Rurichiyo-san trying to run away."
Rurichiyo scowled at the idea of having to wait longer to finally gett some food, crossing her arms over her chest as she retort "I refuse to leave until I'm fed. Hey! Unhand me!"
Rurichiyo's protests went ignored as Koneko picked the girl up by the back of her kimono and dragged her out of the room with Yukio, Arisu and Georgia following behind as the former reminded "Give me a call when its best to come back."
Rias nodded to him before waiting for him to close the door before the tension in the air was filled with killing intent directed towards the two guards as Rias smiled and asked "So, what are you doing in my town and trying to sacrifice my Yukio."
"..." Kenryu's mouth moved without making any noise at the thick crimson aura around Rias before blurting out "Rurichiyo-sama is heiress of the Kasumioji Clan! We're here to hide her from trouble."
"Kasumiōji...?" Keiko spoke surprised, Rias looking to her questioningly before Keiko explained "The Kasumiōji Clan is just below the four great noble families in status although the circumstances for that is supposedly special from what Yoruichi-sensei told me."
"You can heal them all the way now, Asia." Rias spoke, Asia nodding as she stepped forwards to heal them so they could grill them for more information.
...
Shinji Hirako hummed as he watched Yukio Hosokawa walk with the three girls and one spirit, the earlier surge of power had aided his search for his fellow Visor after having caught the Rating Game between the Sitri and Gremory heiresses the Underworld televised to the Pantheons and also Urahara passing on a video of the battle that had become of what was supposed to be the Rating Game between the Gremory heiress and Astaroth heir.
it had caused the whole group some shock to see Yukio's Hollow take control like that and trigger the [Boosted Gear's] [Juggernaut Drive] along with perverting it into something truly monstrous that they had been lucky to stop.
'Either way, he needs to learn to control it to prevent something like that happening again.' Shinji thought to himself, trying to think of the best way to approach the silvernet with the offer for training. He couldn't just waltz into the school that two heiresses operated in without causing some sort of major incident between factions.
'Maybe I should talk to Keiko-chan first, seeing as she should remember me after we had to help her as well.' Shinji thought with a frown as that brought up another question, 'Why hasn't she done that training with Yukio though before... unless she didn't have the means to do it without Hachigen's barriers or couldn't bring herself to risk it.'
Shinji figured that the latter was more likely as the risk to control the Hollow could result in Yukio turning into one himself.
"So, you decided to act on that video I sent you, Shinji-kun." A male voice spoke from behind, surprising Shinji as he gripped his Zanpakuto's hilt and turned to face Kisuke Urahara.
"Did you have to surprise him, Kisuke?" Yoruichi asked with a frown at the smirking Urahara who had his fan out to try and hide it as he replied "It's always good to keep people on their toes, Yoru-chan."
"Don't call me that." The violet haired woman retorted with a glare at Urahara, Shinji looking between the two before asking "What are you two doing here anyway?"
"I had to supply some Gigais for the Kasumioji heiress and her guards." Urahara answered, signalling with his fan at the spirit travelling with Yukio and the girls. Shinji looking shocked at hearing that before he asked "Why did they bring her here?"
"No idea, her guards aren't telling and I doubt she knows herself but it must be something serious." Urahara replied with a shrug, Shinji nodding in agreement with a thoughtful look.
...
"So,they're saying that they are here to hide her from trouble?" Yukio questioned with a raised eyebrow, Rias nodding as she added "Obviously they aren't telling the whole story for some reason and Rurichiyo only thinks that this is a holiday for her."
{True, but I would be inclined to avoid a young child to find out what was going on in their position.} Sparda spoke up with a frown, Yukio mentally agreeing as he glanced over to where Rurichiyo was happily eating in her Gigai while her two guards stood behind her, frowning in thought as he tried to think before huffing "You and Sparda's right. They don't want anyone to know they are here or for her to worry."
"Mmhmm... Tried to play it off as some minor issues and there is no need to worry Onii-sama about it when I brought it up." Rias spoke with a nod, "At least I've managed to convince them to stay in a house my family own in town so we can keep an eye on them and take note of whoever their attackers would be."
Yukio nodded at hearing that before grimacing as he asked "What about while we're at school?"
"We'll have our familiars keep an eye on them then. If anything happens during the day then some of us can go after them or we can have them stay in the club room during the day." Rias answered, adding the last part as she thought of it. Yukio nodded in agreement before she nodded and pointed out "I've got to let Sona know about what's going on so can you and the others keep an on of them for now. Akeno knows where they'll be staying for now so go with her if they want to leave here."
"Of course, Rias-sama." Yukio replied with a smile that Rias returned.
...
"Come out, Shinji-san." Keiko called as she stopped on an empty street a couple away from her home, turning to the nearby alley as the blond landed lightly on his feet inside it.
"You're senses have gotten stronger since we last met." Shinji replied as a greeting, Keiko sighing as she asked "You've heard what happened during the incident with Diodora Astaroth, haven't you?"
"Urahara passed it on along with the incident during the Sitri Game." Shinji admitted with a nod, Keiko scowling at the fact Urahara had keeping an eye on them as Shinji continued "I understand why you haven't put your little bro' through the training but now is the time he needs it. He and that friend of his. I didn't think Hollow powers could do that either."
"Neither did I and I know they should have been trained." Keiko replied with a sigh, "I couldn't do before with Nii-kun though because that Hollow that killed my parents did something to affect him somehow and I can only guess it made his Hollow side stronger then what I have."
"I'll let you explain things to him..." Shinji spoke sympathetically with a soft smile, "Just give me a call once you've done it. The whole gang is in town at the moment just to help you and him."
"Thanks Shinji-san." Keiko spoke with a smile before Shinji Sonido'd away, leaving the blonde with her thoughts about what was gathering in town at this time.
...
That night, another Senkaimon opened within Kuoh Town and stepping out of it was Rukia Kuchiki. She had been sent to follow the trail of two unregistered Senkaimon door opening in the town and discover who had did it as it could potentially cause tension between Soul Society with the Three Factions who operated within Kuoh.
'Maybe I'll have time to see Yukio while I'm here.' Rukia thought hopefully as she took to the air to try and see where the trail of Reiatsu lead within the town. Sweeping her gaze over the town, Rukia ignored the Reiatsu she knew was from Keiko and Yukio before picking up the one she had been following from the various other unknown ones and started to flash step away to find who was the owner of it.
...
The first sign Kiba and Rossweisse had that they, and my extension Rurichiyo and her guards, were under attack the night three days later was a bright light appearing as an intruder forced their way through the roof. Kiba jumping to meet them with a holy-demonic sword in hand while Rossweisse created several magic circles to act as a defence while Enryu, Kenryu and Rurichiyo looked to be getting ready to leave out of the window. Kiba succeeded in sending the assassin back out of the house, Rossweisse flying after them as she repaired the roof behind her and set about opening a communication circle as she spoke "An assassin is attacking now, Rias-sama."
[We'll be on our way now.] Rias replied as Rossweisse created another magic circle to prepare an attack while Kiba asked seriously "What is your aim with targeting Rurichiyo-san?"
The assassin didn't reply as the two continued to clash blades on the rooftops, Kiba taking a moment to observe his opponent's unusual weapon. It was the shape of a katana with a large mirror attached at the hilt and looked to be fully attacked to the assassin's right hand by some sort of organic part which Kiba guessed wasn't a typical Zanpakuto from what he knew.
A bright flash of light came from the mirror, blinding Kiba only for a twister of wind from Rossweisse to shoot forwards and stop the assassin's follow up strike before Kiba regained his sight as she called "Barrier is up, Kiba."
The blond smiled as he charged at the assassin again, whose eyes had widened in alarm at hearing that, restarting the clash of blades between them. Kiba's sword had changed into his [Holy Eraser] as it would allow him to absorb any attempts to use the blinding light against him as he redoubled his efforts to defeat the assassin and capture him. The assassin tried to flash step around Kiba to get to his target only to be blocked by the blond's [Knight] speed and forced to defend himself and try to cut down his opponent while also having to dodge the occasional magic blast from Rossweisse.
A crimson magic circle appeared near Rossweisse with Rias, Akeno, Koneko and Yukio stepping out of it before the latter charged in to aid Kiba with Lucifer on his back and a pair of energy swords in hand. The assassin hand trouble defending himself from the dual assault, backing up several feet before trying to use his unusual sword's power and released a blinding flash of light to try and gain the advantage. Kiba threw his [Holy Eraser] at the assassin, it absorbing the light before it could serious effect the two males while creating a replacement.
"So he can use light to blind us." Yukio commented, Kiba nodding as Rias called "Capture him if you can, you two."
{You need to get that weapon away from him, son. It's something dangerous.} Masayuki spoke up seriously.
"Right." Yukio replied before quietly muttering to Kiba "Let's get that sword away from them first."
At Kiba's nod the pair charged once more at the assassin, working together to keep them on their back foot before Yukio landed a strike on the assassin's leg, stabbing one blade through their thigh while Kiba blocked the unusual sword with his own. Injured, the assassin tried to use his sword's power only for Kiba to slash his sword down onto the mirror hilt just as the light was released so it was absorbed into his blade before Yukio stabbed their right shoulder and removed the arm.
A large seal appeared on the assassin's chest at that moment, Yukio's eyes widening in shock as he called out "Bomb!" before he and Kiba put some distance between them, the latter holding on to the dismembered arm and the blade that it was attached to before the man exploded in a large blue explosion.
"How serious must they be to have self-destruct magic placed upon them?" Akeno commented with a frown as Kiba and Yukio landed onto the roof that Rias and the others were on as the crimson heiress spoke "They must be serious about not wanting anyone to find out what they are doing or why?"
"The sword he was using was most unusual." Kiba spoke as he showed the sword to the others, Rias looking over it as she asked "Have you ever seen anything like this Yukio?"
"No, I haven't." Yukio replied with a shake of his head as he dismissed his Devil Arm only for Rukia to speak up from the edge of the roof she landed on, "That's a Bakkōtō."
"Bakkōtō?" Rias asked with concern, Rukia nodding as she explained "They are parasitic weapons unlike Zanpakutos and gradually consume the user's power to grow stronger."
"Parasitic weaponry?" Yukio asked with a frown at the weapon, Rukia nodding as she continued "They can also go to the level of starting to affect the user's mind before the Bakkōtō fully devour them. The only way to suppress those devouring properties is to have a sufficient level of spiritual power and Bakkōtōs do not have a release state but instead evolve with the user's reiatsu and aren't unique to the wielder and can be used by anyone with Reishi although the level affects the power and ability. They are highly illegal for anyone to use due to those dangerous properties."
"Sounds like a Shinigami version of a Demon Sword in some way." Kiba mused aloud, Yukio nodding in agreement at hearing the description from Rukia as Masayuki spoke as he appeared {It's an apt comparison of what a Bakkōtō is.}
"So, someone was serious about attacking Rurichiyo-san if they got the assassin to use one of these then." Rias spoke as she looked at the weapon with disapproval, Rukia looking surprised as she asked "The Kasumiōji heiress is here!?"
Yukio and Rias nodded in sync much to the amusement of the other devils around them before the latter spoke up "Now, let's get the truth from those guards."
"Good thing I saw these two trying to sneak out of the house then." Keiko spoke as she dumped the two guards onto the room, Rurichiyo looking confused with what was going on.
...
"Why are assassins after you and using a weapon from your clan?" Rias asked as she stood in front of the two sitting guards of Rurichiyo, who had been lead to another room by Arisu and Koneko, as Rukia added "Bakkōtōs were created by the Kasumiōji so the assassin is from their clan as well."
Kenryu and Enryu shared a look before the former spoke "We came here to avoid assassination attempts on Rurichiyo-sama. The one who is sending them is Gyōkaku Kumoi."
"Why would he want her dead?" Rukia asked with a frown, Kenryu giving a wary look to the Shinigami before he answered "He's one of the clan's vassals and wishes to become leader of the clan. With Rurichiyo-sama's death he would gain the position with ease because the other candidates has already fallen."
"Please Kamizakura-sans, please help us protect Rurichiyo-sama. With your powers it would be easier to ensure her safety." Kenryu added as he bowed towards Yukio and Keiko. Yukio looked angry at the fact they had used his old family name as he shot back "No, I want nothing to do with Soul Society. Especially with how they took advantage of me the last time due to those people."
With that Yukio stormed out of the room, Rukia's face falling at what he had said while the two guards turned their gaze to Keiko who replied with a glare "You had to bring up that family, didn't you? I'm not inclined to help people who don't know who they are addressing properly as we cut ties with that family the moment they treated my Nii-kun like a child soldier."
The two flinched under Keiko's glare while Rukia looked sadly at the sister of her friend while recalling the shock and outrage that had happened when Yukio and Keiko's leaving had occurred, especially as Keiko had been looking to joining Second Division before the loss of her parents and deciding to become a nurse so she could look after her little brother in the human world and then discovering what the Kamizakura had been doing.
With her piece said, Keiko left the room as well, Rukia deciding to follow so she could talk to the pair even as Rias moved to walk with her.
...
"Yukio, wait!" Rias called as she hurried after the silvernet. She managed to catch his hand before pushing him against the wall in the alley as he asked tiredly "Why do they have to draw me into their problems...? Keiko-san and I left because of what my family did to me but working with them to protect Rurichiyo-san is just giving them another chance to get me."
"Shh~ It'll be fine..." Rias cooed soothingly as she hugged him, "We don't know if we'll need to go there at all yet, Yukio. Even if we end up going, I won't let them get such a chance with you and I know the others won't allow it either. In I kinda want to go to give them a piece of my mind after what they did to you."
Yukio smiled wirly at hearing the fire in Rias' voice, even as she added "Its up to you if we personally help or not as I can just contact Onii-sama about it and try and pass off the information to him but are you sure its right to leave this young girl unprotected from someone who I imagine is much like those people."
"You're right, Rias. I'll help them." Yukio spoke with a sigh, his frustration draining out of his body before his girlfriend claimed his lips.
...
"Keiko-san..." Rukia started as she followed after the blonde, landing on the roof that she was standing on as she continued "Are you alright?"
Keiko looked back to see Rukia with a raised eyebrow, the shorter young woman shaking her head as she retorted "Stupid question, I know."
"I know its a lot to ask for you to help out but..." Rukia started slowly, relaxing slightly at Keiko not refusing her outright as she continued, "Gyōkaku Kumoi being in charge will see a lot of trouble brew in Soul Society, especially as he'll want to muscle his way into becoming an addition to the Great Noble Clans and use the civilians for whatever he can with the Bakkōtōs."
"Probably feed them to the Bakkōtōs so they strengthen further." Keiko spoke with a sigh, Rukia nodding grimly before the blonde retrieved her phone as she added "I'll help but... it'll have to wait a short while as I've got things to do."
'Now's the time to tell Nii-kun the truth and convince him to accept the training.' Keiko thought as Rukia nodded, unaware of the blonde's thoughts.
...
"So, what do you want to talk about Keiko-nee?" Yukio asked as he and Keiko stood in one of the training rooms on their own the next morning as she started "Recently, an old group of friends have come to town after hearing about what happened against Diodora. They are like both of us in a way, Shinigami with Hollow powers, and they taught me to control my own Hollow when I was young and want to help you with Isa."
"Why didn't you put me through this training before then?" Yukio asked with a frown, Keiko looking away as she answered "The training is very risky and could see those who don't complete it turning fully into a Hollow. I couldn't see that happening to you and while I could stop Isa on his own the damage that would be caused would bring Soul Soceity's attention back on us."
"I figure that as we've both decided to help Rurichiyo-san, you deserve the have the choice to go through the training for yourself now that the group has come here to help you." Keiko finished, looking at her little brother with a conflicted expression which relaxed at seeing his understanding look.
"If this will stop Isa from taking control of me and triggering a [Hollow Juggernaut Drive], I should go through it." Yukio spoke with a resolute nod before adding "What about Gen? He's got a Hollow now from when he took my blood."
"We'll talk to him about it next." Keiko spoke with an understanding look as she asked "Are you going to tell Rias?"
Yukio grimaced as he tried to think over it, not wanting to worry her while also not wanting to hurt her before he spoke resolutely, "There won't be any need to worry her and it'll be a good surprise for her."
{I believe that resolve will aid you in this training a lot. I will assist as I can.} Sparda spoke up with an approving tone as he appeared, Ddraig soon following as he added [Heh. It wouldn't do for me to be lax when you've got the potential to be the strongest Sekiryuutei ever. So, I'll help out too.]
Yukio turned to where his father had appeared, waiting to heard what he said as the man turned Zanpakuto spirit spoke {A part of me wants to refuse you from doing this, due to the risk, but... being able to control Isa will aid you. And I also know you'll refuse to give in and be successful.}
"Thank you all." Yukio spoke touched, giving the three spirits a resolute nod before turning to see Keiko looking proudly at him as she spoke "I'll contact my friends then."
...
Yukio shifted eagerly as the end of school came with the ring of the bell, thankful for his sister convincing Rias and Sona to let him and Saji go to on what she had described as an errand. When he and Keiko had told him about the training and the potential dangers of leaving their respective Hollows unchecked and the gains from it, he had instantly agreed to go through with it.
{Relax, otherwise the girls are going to know something is wrong.} Masayuki spoke to calm his son, Yukio taking a slow breathe as he thought back 'Sorry but I just want to get a start on this training so Isa won't become a problem in the future.'
{True... but it was your choice to hide this from the girls. I imagine they would have understood about this regardless to their reservations.} Sparda spoke up as Yukio took his time to pack up his things before slinging his back over his shoulder and counter 'They might have understood why I'm doing this but can you see any of them willing to let me risk this training from what Keiko-nee told us?'
[He's got you there, old man.] Ddraig spoke with a smirk which caused Sparda to roll his eyes as he countered {I am younger then you, Ddraig. Despite how you act most of the time.}
Yukio mentally sighed at Ddraig's antics as he got outside, meeting Saji who offered him a smile as he replied "Ready for this?"
"Yeah." Yukio spoke with a nod before he turned as he sensed Rurichiyo and her two guards approach. The trio was wearing Kuoh Academy uniforms to blend in better although none of them attended classes.
"I want you take me to get food, Hosokawa-san!" Rurichiyo demanded, Yukio scowling before noticing Rukia and Irina rushing up behind the trio with apologetic looks as he spoke "You don't get to demand things from me, Rurichiyo-san. I may be helping you but that doesn't make you in charge of me. Plus I've already told you that I'll be busy today and Buchou approved of that."
"Hey! You can't talk to Hime-sama like that!" Kenryu retorted sternly only to shrink back as Yukio set a glare on him as Rurichiyo ducked her head as she muttered "I'm sorry."
"You were the ones who wanted me to babysit her and she's not going to learn if she's spoiled all the time." Yukio spoke to the guard before letting out a sigh as he turned his gaze to Rukia and Irina as he pointed out "If something serious comes up, make sure to contact me and Keiko-nee and we'll try and come and help as soon as possible."
"Alright Yu-kun/ Yukio-san." Irina and Rukia replied before Yukio walked over to where Saji was waiting before they left the school grounds.
...
"So this is where they are staying, huh?" Saji asked as he, Yukio and Keiko stood outside the abandoned warehouse that the Vizards were staying in, the silvernet frowning as he spoke up "This was where Stray Devil Viser was hiding."
"Oh yeah. I remember Kaichou talking about Rias-san taking a new member here to observe a stray devil hunt. So that was you." Saji spoke in realisation with a click of his fingers while Keiko looked curiously at the pair as they walked.
"I'm offended you didn't see fit to tell me about this, Yukio." Azazel spoke as he stepped out from behind a tree, causing the trio to jump in surprise as he added "But then I suppose you wanted to keep this secret from the girls as well, if what hat 'n' clogs said was true."
"You know Urahara?" Keiko asked with a frown, Azazel nodding as he replied with a smirk "He's an old associate of mine. We help each other out on occasion with inventing things. Speaking of which..."
Yukio caught the small bag Azazel had threw at him, looking confused as the Fallen Angel explained "Those will help supply you with extra energy so you don't have to rely on the girls to help your healing Soul Chain. Just take one before a fight and don't take more then three a day otherwise you'll strain it then help it."
"Thanks Sensei." Yukio replied as he looked at the bag before stuffing it into his pocket as Keiko asked "Are you joining us or...?"
"Nah..." Azazel replied with a wave, "Wouldn't look good for the leader of Grigori to meet with a group of rogue Hollow-empowered Shingiami when they find out those two have control of their Hollows."
"Heh, he's got a point there." Saji spoke with a nod, Yukio agreeing as Azazel disappeared in his magic circle. The trio started to walk once more, entering the warehouse to see a group of people spread out around the inside which had old furniture moved in and the blood removed.
"Its nice to see you've come." Shinji Hirako spoke as he approached the trio casually, "I'm Shinji Hirako."
"Yo, I'm Hiyori Sarugaki." A short blonde girl, dressed in a red tracksuit with white t-shirt retorted dismissively.
"Heya, I'm Mashiro Kuna." An energetic green haired teen in a white an orange bodysuit with goggles on her head introduced herself eagerly as she practically warped in front of Yukio and Saji.
"Hello, I'm Hachigen Ushōda." A gentle, bulky man with dark skin and short pink hair and moustache spoke up with a soft smile.
"I'm Kensei Muguruma." A grey haired, athletic man spoke up with a slight smirk while his arms were crossed over his chest.
"I'm Rōjūrō Ōtoribash." A blond young man with shoulder length, wavy hair spoke up courteously.
"I'm Love Aikawa. " Starfish haired man wearing black sunglasses introduced himself.
"...Lisa Yadōmaru..." The raven haired young woman in a school uniform spoke absently, looking up briefly from her magazine as she adjusted her glasses.
"Nice to meet you all. I'm pretty sure you know I'm Yukio Hosokawa." Yukio replied to the group, signalling to Saji as he added "And this is Genshirou Saji."
"Hey. Thanks for offering to train us." Saji replied with a brief wave, Shinji offering a friendly smile as he spoke up "It's fine."
"So, how do we start this?" Yukio asked curiously, glancing between the blond Shinji and his sister before Hiyori spoke up with a savage grin "We see what level you're at first."
With that, Yukio quickly had to summon Amonusen to defend himself as the short blonde swung her Zanpakuto, a slender katana, down at his head while Saji quickly manifested his the lizard-like gauntlets and greaves his [Absorption Line] had evolved into as Mashiro threw a punch at him.

Yukio panted as he hopped back from Hiyori, their spar having grown more serious as Hachi had put up more barriers around where they were fighting. Saji and Mashiro were fighting in another portion of the warehouse so they wouldn't interfere with each other.
"Hoh, you're stronger then I thought, baldy..." Hiyori spoke with a hint of respect, "Without even using the other powers within you but its time for you to show me your Hollow."
"I don't think so." Yukio replied, "You've obviously seen what happened the last time and I have no intention of it happening again."
Hiyori scowled as white matter seemed to appear from mid-air and form into a Hollow mask that was on her right side of her head. Yukio looking shocked as she pulled the mask over her face and her whole aura seemed to change before his eyes.
'So this is a Shinigami/Hollow Hybrid's combined power?' Yukio thought before Hiyori suddenly appeared in front of him, a hand on his chest as she muttered in a distorted voice "Then... you will die."
The strike sent Yukio flying into the barrier behind him, making him cry out in pain. He took a moment to recover before charging at her, their fight renewing but with Hiyori's Hollow power taking her to another level. One clash saw Hiyori's sword start to cut through Amonusen before Yukio's right eye changed to resemble that of Isa's before his eyes widened in shock at what he heard.
"Heh. I'm not going to let us die here, King."
Yukio let out a cry of pain as his left eye changed suddenly as the right side of his face was covered by his Hollow Mask, the Vizards and Keiko looking surprised as Yukio grinned darkly before dodging Hiyori's swing and grabbing her by the throat, destroying most of her mask in the process. His grip so tight that the Hollow eyes of Hiyori seemed to be bleeding out back to her normal eyes before Yukio's possessed form was jumped by the Shinji, Love, Kensei and Keiko.
The other Vizards had their swords all pointed at Yukio before the mask broke apart and he fell unconscious soon after. The other spirits inside of him were shocked that Isa had somehow gotten past their seal as Shinji turned to where Hiyori was sitting and shaking as he asked "Are you alright, Hiyori?"
...
[Be careful, Saji.] Vritra warned as Saji grimaced and he shook his head, trying to regain his bearings now that Mashiro had started to use her Hollow mask against him. He'd asked Vritra to not step in if his Hollow came out but it didn't seem to stop the dragon from offering advise during the spar as he ducked under a punch from the green haired girl and counter with one of his own.
Mashiro's eyes widened as she back-flipped from the punch, having seen Saji's eyes changed to those of a Hollow. She spun to avoid the next punch which was coated in Vritra's cursed black flames. Saji's Hollow Mask started to form around his eyes in a shape similar to a Dragon's head with purple forming a curved diamond on his forehead.
It was at that moment that Lisa and Rōjūrō jumped to restrain Saji as Hachigen put up a barrier to stop the next punch from hitting Mashiro, Vritra flaring his power to overwhelm the Hollow and force it back inside his host and deactivating the [Sacred Gears] as Saji collapsed exhausted onto the ground.
...
Yukio let out a groan as he woke up, sitting up suddenly from the mattress he had been laying on only to find Saji, Keiko and the Vizards sparsely dotted around as he remembered what had happened before as he muttered "Isa got out..."
{When we created the seal, we had geared it more towards stopping Isa getting control of our portions of your power.} Sparda started before Masayuki continued {It means that we probably accidentally left a weak point within the seal which Isa exploited.}
[Although looks like your training will need us to open up part of the seal anyway to help you get control of his power.] Ddraig added as Yukio grimaced before Keiko asked "How are you feeling?"
"Like my brain tried to jump out of my skull." Yukio groaned as he rubbed his forehead, Keiko nodding before using some healing Kido on him before asking "Feeling better?"
"Thanks." Yukio spoke with a nod, shifting his gaze to check that the Vizards were alright before he started to ask "So..."
He was interrupted by the sound of his phone ringing, Yukio grabbing the device from his pocket and answering "What's wrong, Irina?"
[Its Rurichiyo-san, she's gone missing.] Irina replied concerned, Yukio looking surprised as he heard that.

Author's Note
First things first, I'd like to thank ShadowUzumaki55 for all his help with this chapter given my own lack of knowledge about Bleach. Also this chapter is a bit shorter then usually due to figuring that this is a good place to stop. As I'm sure those familiar with Bleach have worked out I'm combining the Kasumioji Conspiracy Arc with the Vizards. This is mainly due to wanting things set up right for when I get to the Kyoto Arc and when Yukio unlocks the Triaina Forms and also means the Sub Species armour won't be disregarded when they come into play.
Anyway, can't think of anything else to add at the moment so I'll end it here and hope you enjoy the chapter.
