Shinigami were running around the Seireitei by now. The Ryoka had successfully infiltrated their society, albeit while being separated, and everyone was up in arms and stationed everywhere they could be just to make sure these intruders were apprehended. No one could let them through unless they really wanted to get on the Captain-Commander's bad side. Everyone had already got word on how Ichimaru Gin screwed up with not killing the Ryoka when he had a chance, so no one wanted to screw up at all. However, all of them had to admit that there was just one who always tried way too hard. All of them just shook their heads as they watched her speed off after one of those lights. If anything, she was probably going to just hurt herself and get killed because of her stupidity. But this is why she was chasing them. She wanted to prove them wrong and watch their mouths hang agape in disbelief when she caught one of those sneaky ryoka. She was very determined to get her hands on one, even if it was the weakest of the five intruders.
Kuromi rounded a corner with ease before her ears perked up. She immediately stopped and took a step back. "Darn...Squad 11 already found them..." Her ears folded back and she turned around. There was no way she'd get involved with those weirdos. They were just battle hungry brutes that didn't seem to like thinking very much. She didn't want to get involved with them, even if that strong ryoka was headed their way. She growled a bit and stomped her foot before turning and running the other way in an attempt to find another ryoka to fight. Suiren was shaking her head as she walked around the Seireitei to see if she could find any of the intruders. Kuromi was so brash sometimes, she didn't know what to do with her. Then again, her ideals were noble, albeit stupid. She just wanted to be recognized was all. The silver haired woman shook her head once more before looking over as she sensed a pair of ryoka landing not too far off. She smirked and headed off in the direction to confront them. The only reason she did this was simply to please Toshiro. The fox was already on his nerves, she might as well make him happy with her obedience.
As Kuromi looked around for any of the ryoka, she could sense that all of them were already in fights right now. They were from different squads, not just the eleventh division. She pouted at this as her tail flicked. Now this was just unfair, she just couldn't get there in time even when she tried her hardest. Her ears rotated around and tried to find the last of the ryoka. She could only sense five of them, but she was very sure there were six. It was obvious this person could hide their reiatsu very well. It mustn't have been their first time here. She hopped onto a roof of one of the maze-like structures and looked around to see if she could find any of them in a close proximity. "The only ones close by are those ones getting attacked by squad 11. Everyone is getting attacked, too." Her ears folded, obviously showing she wasn't all too happy about being left out of the action.
"You know you can get hurt up there if you slip." Kuromi's body froze up as she recognized that voice. She glanced back and gulped a bit, looking down at the 5th division's taichou. "H-Hey, Aizen-taichou." She tried to smile normally, but it came out as nervous or scared. She hopped down from the roof and looked at him. But that didn't really last long, she looked at the ground shortly after. For some reason, something beyond even her memory, she just felt so scared and nervous around Aizen. Sure, he had the sweetest smile and the most understanding aside from 13th division's taichou. But there was just something about him that sent shudders up her spin. And whenever she looked at him and showed this behavior, she swore he was smirking. "You're shaking again. Is it cold for you?" He sounded worried, but she knew better. There was something about this man she couldn't trust. "N-No! Not at all! I just...well..." She looked around as her ears rotated to hear anything she could use to excuse herself. The brunette haired man smiled at her and shook his head. "Those ryoka are causing a trouble, now aren't they? Hopefully, this all quiets down soon. And when it does, why don't you come over for tea with Momo and I?" She gulped and glanced at him. He didn't sound all too concerned about Rukia. In fact, he didn't even mention her, just the intruders. He caught on to her thoughts and smiled. "Don't worry about Rukia. She'll be fine." He reached out to pat her head as a way to comfort her, but she immediately moved away from his hand and her ears folded back. He blinked before smiling and chuckled. "Right, you don't like physical contact very much. Well, at least take this. It'll calm your nerves." He handed her a nicely wrapped tea cake. She blinked and took it, albeit hesitantly. "Be careful. Like I said, those ryoka are dangerous." He warned her and walked away.
Kuromi glanced back at him and gulped slightly before looking at the tea cake. Well, it was definitely a nice thought, and the sweet did smell good. She glanced back, noticing how puffed out her tail was. She tried to straighten it out, but it continued to puff until she forgot about the contact she had with him. Her tail even kept itself straight out as she walked down the path. She took the time to eat her treat, finding it to taste really nice. If she was back at the barracks, she could have enjoyed it with a cup of tea, but for now, she was looking for ryoka. She had no need to go back. The only flaw to this cake was a bitter note in the aftertaste. Sort of like medicine. She'd need to wash that down later. "Now where could they be?" She wondered as she looked around for any sign of those intruders. Though, a sudden pain shot through her head and she immediately held it before kneeling down. "W-What the hell-?!" She started to remember all those blue lights...the same ones in her dreams.
