Welcome to Gaia! ::

He then follow the bount to whenever he was going to take him. Why would a bount help a shinigami, weird?

They finally got out of the forest and saw a house in the distance. Better prepare myself, for whatever trap he might have in store. He held his zanpakuto just in case something happen.

"Is that so. Well I can't for you might lay a trap knowing that you are a bount and all."


After Ayame left to the world of the living , and Damian to who know where he decided to have a feast outside the castle. As he walked he saw lower arrancar fixing the mess that he and the fifth one did. I can't believe that I almost lost too that lower Espada. He eventually reached outside, and saw two hollow fighting for their own life, and to eat the loser. He quickly use a bala, and defeated them both. He devoured them both, and as he did this he remembered the time that he and Ayame were like that, after the incident. He then continued to find more.

Tsu was quiet for a while. He was going over what he had just heard from every angle. He'd do what he had to. Damn that Roxas... I never should have trusted him... "Alright. Tell me what I need to do."

"My my. How very interesting!" Mayuri Kurotsuchi faded into existence inside the Lieutenant's soul space. "I wonder what would happen if the dark side was able to take over. Would the woman turn into an Arrancar?" The Captain continued his musings as he watched the fourth seat and the two Zanpakuto from a distance.

Tsu gave Keikoku a nod and used his Flash Step to follow Hikari's Zanpakuto. He didn't have to look to know that his own was following right behind him. He wasn't sure what he'd find when they got to wherever it was they were going, but he did his best to prepare for anything. No matter what it took, he was going to protect Hikari.

Yuu would have gladly went into Hikari's soul space yet it seemed like a better idea to send Tsu to begin with simply for the fact that they knew each other better. Hearing Nemu's words about the package being ready for Ukitake he couldn't help but smile a little. Taking the package from Nemu he smiled to her before speaking. "Thank you very much Kurotsuchi-fukutaicho this means a lot to me. Tell Kurotsuchi-taicho I appreciate it. Anyway going to bring this to him immediately. See you at either the next Fukutaicho meeting or when Ukitake-taicho comes in for testing. Bye." With a small wave and bow he was gone out of the facility and moving toward his Captain's private quarters as fast as his considerable speed took him. A few moments later he entered inside and bowed to Ukitake who was laying down because of his worsening condition. "Ukitake-taicho I have just returned from the Twelfth Division's labs and received this package for you. Please take it Kurotsuchi-fukutaicho said it would make you feel better."

Ukitake sat up as Yuu entered with the usual smile on his face waving off the Lieutenant's bow and listening to what he was saying. "Really. That was so nice of them. It's good to see you Yō-fukutaicho. Let me take this real quick then we can talk for a little while." Taking the package from Yuu Ukitake took it then immediately could feel it begin to work though it would only be a short term fix to the problem. Afterwards he began talking with Yuu in a friendly tone coughing much less than normal though he still had the occasional fit.

Soifon returned to the Commander's Office to see if there was anything else that was needed of her for the moment already figuring he would have her escort Haru to Tsu's location. "Was there anything else you needed Sotaicho?"

Tsu shot through the air following Keikoku. He pushed out with his spiritual pressure to move the thorns out of the way. As he followed the Zanpakuto, he could feel Hikari somewhere close, traveling toward them. Suddenly, she was there in front of them. But it wasn't the Hikari that he had known his entire life. He silently watched the other Hikari and Keikoku as they talked. Before he could say anything, the real Hikari ran up and embraced her Zanpakuto. They talked for a few more moments before the Dark Hikari attacked. Tsu couldn't stand by and watch this. He used his Flash Step to put himself between the two Hikari. As much as he wanted to go to his Hikari's side, he had a feeling that it would be a mistake to turn his back on this one. "Hoshokusha, check on Hikari. stay with her, will you? I'll deal with this one."

Tsu took a few steps toward the Dark Hikari and drew his sword. "If you truly want to fight, then you fight me." Tsu glanced back at the unconscious woman laying on the ground before turning back to the Dark Hikari. "Truth be told, I never thought I'd draw my sword against you. Against Hikari... And maybe I don't have the right to. You say that you're the feelings that she has hidden all these years? Well, I guess I can believe that. After all, I was there back then. I know how she was before that attack. I know how she changed after. I had always thought that she was a little too nice. Now I know why. I wasn't there that day. If I had been, maybe things would have been different. I understand why Ayame hates us for it, and I can't expect you to feel different. Infant, from what you've said, I can understand why you'd feel worse."

Tsu pulled his black bandanna from his kimono and tied it around his forehead. This was going to be a hard battle and he didn't want to lose because of something like blood or sweat getting in his eyes. "I'll make a deal with you. If you want to fight, then we'll fight. If you win, you can have your revenge by killing me. If I win, you have to give up this hatred you have for Hikari. Find a way to coexist. Do we have a deal?"
