 This is the large desert of Hueco Mundo. You can look for miles and nothing for miles, except for maybe a tree here and there, dotting the landscape. The only real thing that cant be found anyway in the desert is Los Noches Hueco Mundo translates, roughly, to Hollow World. The name is self explanatory, and is where all the Hollows life.

  Chi had noticed Uncas’ way of getting to the surface though she knew that if she had stood any closer to him, she would have been swept away as the sand poured in through the hole. The way she was going to rise up as it were was unorthodox to say the least. Looking around her she spotted Kenny, perfect. She knew that he would have trouble getting to the surface without some help. Reaching out for him, she grasped his arm and pulled him close to her, she would hear him complain about it later. She knew that it would get them to the surface cause his element would only turn the sand to glass. Holding onto him like a sister would hold onto a brother for support. She allowed the winds underneath her to pick her up. As they rose from the ground the world around them, rather THEY began to spin, what her plan was to go through the sand with as little as a speck on them. Chi stared at Kenzo as she kept her focus then closed her glowing teal eyes. The whole idea was that hopefully he would close his eyes as well. If he didn’t he would have a bad case of nausea at the end of it. The spinning got faster the closer to the sand they got. The ceiling as it were started to crumble around the wind as it seemingly shoved both of them into the bottom of the sand.
On the desert side, all it would seem as if the sand was creating a whirlpool but the sand was moving at such a fast pace it actually made a sound. Anything that was above the two of them well they would either drown in the fast pace sands, or they would fall through below them. A smile crossed her lips as she let out a small amount of laughter, which to anyone who could hear her over the ruckus of the sand would hear that it was sweet and pure. Chi never had a reason to laugh these days, but she was trying her hardest to be positive. They were going to get her sister back and she knew that they would succeed. Aoi… She missed her a lot, their play fights and all the rest. In the midst of her thoughts she almost let go of Kenzo, which would have been bad for him, cause sadly if he did slip out of her grasp he would have got lost in the whirlpool of sand. And Kenzo would probably have regretted the whole drink he had before he came to this place. A small sigh passed her lips when they finally broke to the surface, but instead of the whirlpool dying down, it grew upwards into a pillar of sand. The pillar was thick but Chi was barely using any energy to keep the tornado balanced.
For those who were that close to the tornado, could see a ball of pure teal. Inside the ball now was Chi barely holding onto Kenzo, infact she was tempted to let him drop to the ground. Though she knew that he was probably still dizzy. Her laughter had picked up again as she let the sand fall around her in a small wave. Landing on the ground seconds later she let go of Kezo, and brushed herself down of any clinging sand. Her eyes still closed, but now she opened them. She was rather surprised. She had never seen a place like this where night ruled and all there was, was pretty much sand for as far as the eye could see. Reaching down, she removed her sandals from her feet. It would make a difference specially with how far they would probably be moving and when they came into an encounter with Aoi’s kidnappers and possible group. Bouncing on the balls of her feet, her tails swayed eagerly as she let her ears try and pick up any sounds on the wind. The feet around her was shifting by an unseen force. The wind was here, and it was stronger. Her dagger was by her side and her Hoshi no Tama was hidden in her sleeve now. She had made sure that the enemy wouldn’t get a hold of it. She couldn’t afford to die here.
She wouldn’t race off ahead first though it had seemed that she had reached the surface first. Her nose twitching now and again to try and keep Aoi’s scent in the air. She knew that Aoi was smart, she would at least try and give them something to work with. Her tails swayed in the slight breeze she was stirring. She was hiding her energy. She had used next to nothing just to transport two of them. She could have taken on the whole clan to the surface with little energy. Seeing as she practised every day, she would always be the one no one ever found unless her energy soared. A sigh passed her lips as she decided that she would have to put her sandals back on her feet. Shrugging her shoulders she threw them up into the air and let the wind carry them around for her. She could care less if she left them or lost them somewhere. She didn’t feel like taking up valuable hand space especially if she was required to fight. Though she had to think a little, they were pretty much making history where they stood. No one had really remembered them, so it was sort of a refresher to all of them? Chi had never been one to get angry, in fact she had always remained emotionless unless she felt the need to show off her emotions.
Letting her greenish teal eyes roam around the night desert, she wondered where Uncas was going to appear. What he was going to say, and the rest of the things that were going to happen. She hoped this would be a civil thing, she hated getting her hands dirty. Though they were a reasonable people. Surely something good might come out of this other than possible blood shed. Shifting her feet around in the sand, she wanted to make sure that she could pin point Aoi before being told she could get her sister back. Aoi wasn’t technically her sister, but because they lived as a close knit pack, she was her sister. Looking around her for a second time, she noticed small creatures. Were they able to inhabit this sort of place? Her hair brushed over her face as if she was being stroked by an invisible hand. Her tails swayed with some sort of comforts as her ears twitched and she stood lifeless, she wished she had held onto Kenny just a little longer. She had only brief contact and she felt kind of alone in this big desert. Wow, she really felt a little depressed lately. Shaking her head and jumping on the spot, she kicked off the ground and began in a small sprint. The wind helping her carry her speed.
She was deliberately moving slowly incase either male decided to bolt right past her. Kenzo was very famous for doing that and with her clothing she could do without it ripped especially since she knew that it would show more than what it was made for. Though the heat was plausible, usually a desert generated a lot of heat, but this one didn’t because it was or seemed to revolve around night. Either she had learnt about this when she was just starting out, or remaining completely oblivious to what she has missed in the time she has been around for. Stopping a fair ways out, she noticed the hole where the sand was pouring in, she knew that was Uncas and using her ability with the wind managed to draw close enough to him. She wanted to help him out though she knew that he didn’t need it. She did however know that she shouldn’t race too far ahead and always stay close to Uncas. So she pretty much was doing what he was saying, but her feelings were telling her to go on ahead and try and reach Aoi before hand, albeit on her own, invisibly or by her ninja aspects. As she waited for Uncas to appear, she withdrew her fan and held it closed to her nose. She wondered where the stubborn fire fox was. The vigilante wanted to get herself killed it seemed.
Okay clearing her mind of any doubts about any of her fellow family, she had one goal in mind. Probably the same one as Uncas, get Aoi back. Then go about and probably making that vizard lady pay for insulting her… Maybe the guy with the bow too… She frowned at how hostile everyone had been towards her and her kind. Well her family, she was going to take it silently into context about all the grudges she held for everyone at the moment. Frowning at how childlike she had become she had let her mind slip away from her goal once more. This sort of thing would get a person killed so she tried her damnedest not to let her mind slip. Aoi. The one person she was willing to get back. Taking a few steps back from the open and gaping hole she made sure that she wouldn’t get swept away with its current flow, which didn’t seem like it wanted to stop. Also would it flood the place below them? She shrugged, not like she could care less about the survival of this place. The sooner they had Aoi back in their grasp they would be able to go home, less they kill anyone in their way that would stop them. She worried a lot about Aoi, specially with her record of dropping her Hoshi no Tama. Which reminded Chi, she let her hand brush against the unblemished orb in her sleeve. Lets G O, Lets g o, Lets g o together,

Well, you heard the man, it was time the mission started above… As Uncas began his journey up. What sounded a lot like growling foxes filled the air moments before a wide arc of light smashed into the top of this ceiling, soon followed apparently by Uncas. Kenzo shook his head again, maybe one day he would go ahead and study Uncas’ power in more depth so he wouldn’t be absolutely lost whenever Uncas activated them. Well that was no matter, now all he had to do was get up… nyeh! He didn’t really have much of a method of getting up there besides hopping from tree branch to tree branch with his Kasoku and try to aim for the hole that Uncas had made, except the higher up you went the more brittle the branches appeared.
Sighing a bit, Kenzo went ahead and metaphorically unchained his inner kitsune… What, were you expecting some sort of blast of energy or explosion or aura of red or what? Well no, this wasn’t Naruto or something corny like that, Kenzo’s inner Kitsune was really just a piece of his personality that he usually kept hidden and locked away. When a kitsune and a human soul merged, there would often be a fight for domination, come to think of it whoever won was a kitsune anyways, but in Kenzo’s case he hadn’t completely locked out the kitsune part due to situational issues AKA Hollows, instead it had formed its own little persona though it could hardly be called a split personality, it was regulated and usually wasn’t let shown but in situations like these where Kenzo would have to rely on his Kitsune powers, it naturally would come out to enhance it, in a sense. After all, it grew alongside him yet it had more, in a manner of speaking, ‘experience’.
As the part of him that had been held back for so long came out, with a toothy smile, Chi grabbed onto him and pulled her close- and oh wow she had some nice… “Eyes”. Yeah, nice, large “eyes”. He then began to feel the wind whip around them, and by around he meant all around. It felt as if they were being bolstered up something as they began to- GAAAAAAAHHHHH! Spinning! Everything blurred around him in a sickening fashion as the intenses wave of vertigo hit him, it also didn’t that they were floating upwards too. Chi’s teal eyes, and he meant eyes this time not “eyes”, stared right into his own, captivating him before closing. Wow, maybe he should let this side of him out more, it really did allow him to enjoy the good things in life. However though, he still didn’t get the hint to close his eyes, somewhat unfortunate as Kenzo wrapped his own arms around Chi, “for support”, yes only support and no other reason, and looked up. GAH! Spinning! Dizzy! Vertigo!
As they broke through the ceiling of the Forest of Menos and onto the surface of Hueco Mundo, Kenzo caught a brief glimpse of a large fortress off in the distance, the only landmark in the dark land, blurring by as he spun, but then a pillar of sand blocked his sight, soon followed by a teal light. Feeling very, very nauseous now, Kenzo decided it might be time to close his eyes. Well finally! But… uugh he felt horrible right now, he was partially surprised he wasn’t throwing up. As time went on, it got better and the spinning didn’t make him feel the need to commit seppuku anymore. And then the spinning stopped. GAAAAAH! Kenzo might have been able to survive the landing if Chi had kept ahold of him, he really wish she had kept a hold of him, but when she let go and he opened his eyes too, the world shifted under his sandaled feet.
It didn’t help either that they were on sand which was already shifty as hell and that sure didn’t help. After trying to maintain balance for a few more seconds, Kenzo gave up and plopped down on the ground, resting his eyes in his palms, covering them up with blackness for a few seconds too before looking up. Much… better? Slowly, tentatively, Kenzo got up to his feet, staggering a bit and then straightening out, the stagger was more for show then anything else but he was dizzy! Glancing up at the moon of Hueco Mundo, Kenzo felt his tails swaying to the breeze as he then raced alongside and slightly Chi instead of bolting around. Despite the wind and the sand and the randomly scattered dead-plant and animal life, it wasn’t too bad. All they needed to do was install an ocean somewhere and this could be a pretty good vacation get-a-way.
Come to think of it now, Chi’s clothing looked pretty flimsy. Perhaps if he concentrated hard enough he could make out… nah, he needed to survive long enough to get Aoi back first, doing that was likely not a good tactic unleash he wanted to be pelted back down through the sand into the Forest again. Chi then suddenly stopped alongside what looked like a hole… Unexpectedly, too, Kenzo had half expected her to race off towards the fortress. Ramming his feet down into the sand, he skidded past her comically as the friction began to burn his feet. Ow! Ow! Ow! A gust of wind blew by his stop as he trotted up next to where Chi was, standing closer to her than he usually would. Mishiko was… out there somewhere, though he was sure he had seen some explosions but spinning really fast wasn’t a good scouting method. Uncas would hypothetically be coming up here, Chi was right next to him, Aoi was about to be rescued, his dagger hadn’t fallen away and he left his Hoshi no Tama in his room for safekeeping. While Aoi was pretty careless with hers, Kenzo’s had a tendency of getting stolen and that wasn’t something he wanted happening here.

  To call it a sand pour would not be acceptable because the pressure that it was emitting was far worst and stronger then something so as trivial as that. More or less, the sands from heaven or what he would declare, the hell up above before you reach the purly gates is what this could be considered. Uncas could visualize Chi taking care of Kenzo which was what they were supposed to do. Uncas blond orbs were shut as he made his way through the sand pour. He could feel the reiatsu of Mishiko take a violent leap and he didn’t let it get to him. She was capable of taking care of herself and she would catch up on her own accord. Though he had a feeling what would happen when one of these arrancar, made their presence known. He already told himself he would most likely have to hold onto her to keep her from attacking. It wasn’t a foreign practice to Uncas. To physically hold Mishiko back was always a bother because simply put, her power was like her attitude, hot. Even Uncas had been so unfortunate upon contact to burn his hands. The other Kitusne were probably wondering how he remained to hold onto her with such a burning sensation taking full control over his pain receptors. Well, was that not why he was the leader? If he couldn’t hold her back then she should be leader. Not only that, it was the fact that he could stay calm even when it could be perceived, the charring noise of fire burning the flesh. He still had never let her go simply because once she realized that she may be bringing harm to him, she would come about her wits.
As much as she was one never to show such concern, she cared deeply for her adoptive family. Her attitude was simply what he liked to call, a fiery problematic plus. It was labeled as that because though it got the better of her sometimes, there would be times where there was no need for restraint and she out of all of them would be the perfect testimony to just that. So, if others were wondering why he tolerated it, or didn’t make attempt to scold her on her actions that was why. Back to this damn sand of downpour that he was going through. It was in his hair, tangling the locks of hoary. He hated this place already; it was like a beach with no water or positive life. Of course the fox user of earth would be very appreciative of such a place. It was like earth was everywhere around him and even a impressive white color. Yes, he would love every part of this place but this was not Uncas style or better to say forte of enjoyment. Matter of fact, what in god’s name was? Well, since is element was one that seemed to exist everywhere, he could be comfortable in his own space granting, he had the time to make it. There was no set location for him, he was the location. This annoying sand was covering his entire body as he continued to travel. The texture of it hitting his body was rough though he had seen much tougher, he just was not use to so much of it.
Finally even though his eyes were closed, he could feel much light shiniging on his face which meant he had made a egress out of the shower of white sand. His body erupted with a loud thud and with simply and acrobatic twist his body begin whirling the element of his woman. This was simply used as a rotational way of getting the sand out of his hair, his clothes, and even his sensitive ears. Upon spinning then around his waist in a belt like fashion, his Hoshi no Tama could be seen. It was a very clear color and almost ethereal if looking at it from a distance with a black star upon the middle of it. It seemed that Uncas would wear his in such a fashion as if he didn’t care too much about it. If one thought that, they would be wrong because they held his memories, human’s memories, and it was basically his life essence. Around the belt the Hoshi no Tama was laminated to perfection by his own reiatsu. That way, even if it was impacted, someone would have to break directly through his reiatsu to even harm it and that just judging by his power, was not easily done.
When his spinning finally seized then he came down from airborne which actually appeared as if he was enjoying the aerial tricks but when he landed, it would envisage a different story. He would land on one knee with one hand landing into the sand. Strident and thunderous force would be felt with his landing and a crater would follow behind it. This was due to him not shutting off his power before he landed. His hair flew upward from the up ascension of force as if he was in Aoi’s realm of water, sinking slowly beneath it. Talk about an entrance but then again, he was trying to get their attention so they would have some kind of idea of what these arrancar were about to be up against. His eyes shot opened revealing not the same alpha male golden that was shown that usually shined light the rays from heaven but they were a burning red color. These were the signs of him straining to hold the fox form back that was desperately trying to make its way out. He couldn’t let it have its way today though. If that was the case then he and Mishiko were going to have one hell of a bloody field day against every person that was not a Kitsune that existed here. Why was this happening so frequently lately? The first time was when he saw Aoi get taken.
It would soon occur now for the second time. Uncas had a reason or slight understanding of why. It was because his fox spirit felt insulted. It believed that Mishiko had the right idea and they should enter with no mercy but that could get Aoi killed and that was the only reason why he had not taken that plan. His body shook like tectonic plates were within him or he had been finishing off a violent peak of enjoyment. He would put this fox spirit in its place. He was the leader, not the fox. He had consumed control of him so he would do as he said no matter what! Once that was established then the fox with in him calmed down and the fiery color that matched Mishiko’s anger had diminished slowly returning the gorgeous color of light with in his hues. He took a deep breath and stood up slowly. He made his way out of the crater with a long stride brushing the impressive Holy Grail colored locks from his soft features. He leaned his head over to the side so his left ear was pointing down to the ground and he patted his ear right ear to release the sand build up that was in it. Of course he mimicked the same for the other ear. His body begin to shake from his feet, along with his tail vibrating and the rest of his body following suit. He looked like a dog out of the water shaking himself dry but he couldn’t stand the sand to be anywhere on his body because even the softest touch could be felt on the remaining pieces of fox fur on his cadaver.
He looked up to see Chi right there before him. She was starring at him not saying a thing actually. The serious Uncas was replaced by the kind one that they all knew. He was under the impression that there was something on his face or something. His tail quickly flew around to dust off his face. Okay so maybe he shouldn't use his tail in certain ways.
" You don't want any of this sand on you."
Well, that was the best way to get the nervous feeling away. After that he looked passed her and would wait for one of them to arrive.

In the distance but growing closer, Mishiko sensed her comrades ascending. She also sensed Uncas's strange brand of power and knew he had blasted a hole in the roof.
Typical.
Swearing to herself, Mishiko began to ascend as well. She was beginning to recognize landmarks. And no wonder, too. The entire time, she had been running toward the first exit she had ever found from the Menos Forest. As she reached the site of the explosion, Mishiko had a moment to appreciate the amount of hollow already gathered to investigate. But she opted for a less sand in her bandages and a far less flashy exit; a fissure. With one final kick, she reached it and began hauling herself up.
In the last few feet, the tunnel widened and Mishiko could kick up out of it. She rose above the entrance and then free-fell feet-first. With a small dust cloud billowing up, the Firefox landed right next to Chi. Perversely, she hoped the woman got sand somewhere unpleasant. Mishiko dropped onto her buttocks with her legs spread and her knees bent and upright. She relaxed her position and propped her forearms up on her knees, her hands hanging limply at the wrist. No doubt Uncas was waiting on a greeting party. Besides, he had an annoying habit of grabbing hold of her. And she had a nasty habit of burning him. Maybe taking a breather would save him from that. And no doubt one of the others would have harsh words for her.
The way Mishiko figured, there was enough reiatsu in this area to draw sufficient attention. Maybe too much. If it got to be a problem she’d erect a wall. But that was the way it was in Hueco Mundo. If you wait, eventually something will happen. And it would be more useful to fight in the open where she could heap attack after attack on them.
But back to more important things. Uncas would probably want to know more about Translado. Mishiko accepted that as inevitable. It was amazing he hadn’t discovered it sooner, not that Mishiko was hiding it. She couldn’t really see him carelessly assuming she had been moping in a bar somewhere every time she disappeared. Surely he didn’t think she liked alcohol that much?
Mishiko eyed Chi’s outfit with distaste. She couldn’t for the life of her guess what possessed Chi to cavort around in it. She’d get sand in some very bad places to be sure. Hmm, speaking of which, Mishiko didn’t think any of them had ever been here before. Wow, for once the youngest knew more about something, had more experience. She’d like that.
“Don’t worry, you get used to sand, eventually,” Mishiko said, taking glee in her new-found superiority. But her comment probably tipped them off that she had been in Hueco Mundo before. “It’s really not that different from solid earth. But if you don’t like it, you can take to the sky. The reishi composition here isn’t all that different from home. It’s just denser and everywhere. Besides, most of this world’s inhabitants live below in the Forest and the rest tend to stick to the ground.”
In the distance, Mishiko could clearly see Las Noches and she felt herself tense momentarily. Then she pointedly looked away, attempting to avoid any looks the others sent her as well as the temptation to just kasoku right up and tear the citadel apart.

Blinking as she watched him emerge from the sand, and create ripples in the air with his power. Made her narrow her eyes slightly when the sand picked up and almost gave her another coating, not like it wasn’t annoying to her, it was far from it in all honesty. Though she noticed as before Kenzo had kept a close distance to her as they made their way over to seemingly greet their leader. Chi really didn’t know what Kenzo was really thinking, rather than he refused to close his eyes when they had been spinning to get through the desert itself. Their first cause of action would be now to wait on Uncas. Who seemed to have a few issues of his own at the moment. Was this whole place affecting him in some way. Letting her tails brush across the sands, it made her a little uncomfortable to know that Uncas was a little distraught. Though she felt the need to reassure him that Aoi was there and as far as she could tell hadn’t wasted a drop of energy. Even the winds that whipped around her a little came back with information about Aoi and only Aoi alone. As she began to space out and let her mind home in on Aoi once more she jumped a little at some sudden movements that made her a little cautious.
Uncas had been looking at her… er, chest. Which she had been trying to find Aoi and locate in on her like and invisible rope had been tied around both of them. The only reason she noticed Uncas was the touch of his hand on her chest. He was going on about how she didn’t want sand on her. She blinked a few times and watched him, he was back to his normal self even after what he had done. A small smile crept on her face she she looked up to him. It seemed some things never changed when she was around him. She hoped that he could remain this civil when it came to meeting up with the Espada, he was an excellent leader, but he knew his fox side would crave every drop of blood he could get his hands on. The longer his hands Lingered the more alert she was to her own feelings and desires. She wanted to express herself to him but no, she wouldn’t show it. Her tails flicked as she kept a very calm and unreadable pose. Even if his hand was still on her chest. Her eyes were looking at the great citadel, she had heard rumours about it but she knew that it was in here and looked… So far away? She had to blink her eyes a few more times, a small sigh passing her lips silent as the wind masked it but brushed up against Uncas’ face, like a hand showing some side of compassion for him.
She wanted to spend more time alone but alas, the time was not to be savoured now. Her eyes immediately went from Uncas to Mishiko as she began to speak. She went on to say how she would get used to the sand. Now Chi had been one to set foot on the sand so she was used to it already. Half tempted to throw her shoe at the female also. Mishiko wasn’t one to be crossed or taken lightly, but her methods were unorthodox to sa the least. A cold shiver ran down her spine as her tails thrashed at the sand down to instinct, what had touched her with the cold air? Well her temperature had dropped when Chi had grown rather… Annoyed at her fellow kitsune, she wanted to get Aoi back and pushed aside all the feelings she had to unfortunately not show, just in case Uncas would start to feel like he would get distracted. Well with what she was wearing it wasn’t hard not to try and keep a clear mind. Though Chi didn’t mind, she had a very strange way of wearing things to begin with and she was.. Rather cool considering that most of them were rather hot headed, maybe they all needed to calm down a little. It wasn’t hard to do so, eventually letting her mind gather itself she snatched up Uncas’ hand from her chest and stared back at him.
’Uncas, she is fine, I figured out where she is. Though nothing really gets on my nerves.’ The last part was aimed at Mishiko but she couldn’t be bothered to move her head around to stare at the other fox. Not that she didn’t like her, she just didn’t know if Mishiko took any notice what Chi did. The often answer was no and therefore didn’t bother. As her ears picked up again, she let go of Uncas’ hand as much as she didn’t want to. Another smile graced and faded from her visage. Kicking off again from where she stood, she allowed herself to get ahead of where her emotions were. Her concern right now was getting to Aoi, before the others arrived all guns blazing. She probably could do a messengers job, or rather be one to speak like a emissary or something like that. Though she didn’t trust herself to speak a lot and she doubted that no one would take the time in getting to understand her language. She would probably have to write everything down, which she really hated to do. Closing her eyes as she slowed down on purpose so that whoever was wanting to catch up with her could. Her tails trailing out behind her, they laced around each other as they looked to try and form one tail. Though she didn’t mind if it looked stupid. She couldn’t afford the sand in her tail to irritate her and make her snappy. She would have to grab a shower when she got home. Lets G O, Lets g o, Lets g o together,
S i n g, S i n g, Sing a S O N G
L o o k, L o o k, Look h i g h up

  ____________________________________________________
"Cero" The commotion of the kitsunes woulds be interrupted, as a crimson swarm of energy began to gather high up within the gloomy black sky, as a pillar of red crimson light shot down towards them expanding out at a length of 13 feet in length with a one mile reach. As the blast made it's decent towards the silver desert sand, not aiming for any particular person, a wave of save bounced back splashing all the kitsunes.
The form of a man with long red hair could be seen standing with his right hand held towards them, a small steam could be seen escaping the center of his palm, indicating he was the one who had fired the blast. His crimson eyes set sights upon the group, from the distance he stood, it made it seem as if he were gazing towards them all, his gaze almost piercing the very soul of who ever he dared to stare at.
The expression across his face, was a man with his teeth bared, clenched together, clearly showing a small sign of aggravation he had towards the unsuspected guests. He said nothing. As his body could be seen in the glow of the moon light, he seemed to be wearing white buttoned up shirt that stretched down towards his waist, meeting with a white pair of kung fu like pants, with white sole shoes. An unusual yet interesting sense of fashion for the espada that had attacked the group of kitsunes.
He said nothing, and clearly had no desire to explain anything, what seemed to have lasted an hour of waiting only was a short matter of seconds that passed by, Clearly seeing no obvious reaction from the group, Kazuya let an evil smirk appear across his face, as he raised both hands outward forming a T, then back towards the center of his chest, a swarm of energy began to build up within the center of his hands. As he brought his right and left elbow in towards his chest, he then turned his right and left arm outward, as small orbs of crimson light could be seen. Kazuya then crouched down placing his back side in a 90 degree position, he raised both hands up over his head, both blasts seemed to combine, then compressed in size to that of the size of a golf ball.
Kazuya held the small orb in the center of his right arm, as he let the left sway so easily down at his side, he then raised his left knee upward towards his chest, and lowering it back down before propelling the compressed cero blast towards the kitsunes with an extreme amount of force, enough energy would be compressed within that blast to destroy 100 Gillians. Kazuya watched as this second cero came barreling down towards them they had about 4 seconds before the blast would reach them, hardly enough time to make a counter attack or dodge, one way or another they would have to block that attack.

“Show off…” Kenzo muttered silently under his breath, mostly drowned out by the noises around him, as Uncas had erupted into the air, pulling all sorts of acrobatic maneuvers as he spun around. Kenzo wouldn’t be a hundred percent sure if Uncas, or anyone else could hear him, but if they could, then so much the better. Kenzo let out a sigh himself as Uncas began his journey downwards and, just before impact was made, covered up his eyes from the onslaught of sand Uncas seemed to be sending his way, expelling air forcefully from his mouth, not quite a sigh but similar to it.
Mishiko had also popped up nearby too, apparently, when Kenzo wasn’t exactly paying attention. Fortunately, Chi had practically acted as a kitsune-body shield and shielded him from that eruption of sand also. She seemed to be more comfortable with all this damned sand than the rest of them, although it wasn’t really a big thing, getting sand in your sandals was quite annoying at times. Taking to the skies was probably smart then, especially while Uncas went ahead and ignored Kenzo, focusing more on Chi, he even went as far to openly dust them under the pretext of ‘wiping off sand’.
Without a doubt, if it was Kenzo he’d be… well somewhere between dead and torn into nineteen and a half pieces. Of course, however, it was Uncas and so all Chi did was smile nicely. Rubbing his forehead slightly with his palm and letting out another sigh, he was doing that a lot recently, Kenzo kicked off the sand and flew into the sky, a plume of sand erupting in his spot after him as he reached an altitude where the sand wasn’t whipping past him every few milliseconds. As Chi apparently grabbed and held Uncas’ hand that was ‘wiping sand off’ of her and likely spoke to him about something, Kenzo stared off at the fortress in the night, Las Noches.
The whole thing was large and formidable to see, the great Palace of the Hollows in this eternal night. It was kind of eerie to simply gaze upon it, it seemed to close yet so distance, was it just that large? Aoi was in there somewhere though, and they would have to go get her back. While they definitely were not the smartest beings that existed, you’d have to be quite slow to not notice the reiatsu signatures of four rather powerful Kitsunes practically right outside their doors, not to mention the fact that most of them had quite the flashy entrance.
And low and behold, some lower tier creature of some sort had went ahead and decided to respond to their presence… And all alone too. My, what audacity that one must’ve hard. Though it’s reiatsu was somewhat similar, it clearly wasn’t the one from earlier. So this was… an Espada? This one’s power level was much weaker compared to the one that kidnapped Aoi, if that one was their leader and the strongest then all of them were, to put it nicely, absolutely and undeniably screwed. As the first blast went astray, the crimsoned hair man stared at the other three, perhaps Kenzo had gained enough altitude to escape his notice? Nah, that couldn’t be it, you’d have to be either slow or dead to not notice Kenzo, and speaking of which this fellow was about to be the latter.
As the second blast came hurtling towards the three below, Kenzo didn’t give much concentration towards it, a blast like that wouldn’t have been enough to even kill Basu, the supposedly weakest of the Kitsune. However, although they were ranked by power, it was more accurate to say that certain elements, despite the rankings, were able to defeat others, as if Kenzo fought Basu, it would be a hard fought battle and the outcome wouldn’t be as clear as if the Quinta Espada fought the Septima. And besides, the kitsunes below were certainly capable of this feat called dodging, or if they didn’t they’d be able to erect a defense of some sort.
Grasping a hold of Bakusotenrai, his dagger on his left side, with his right hand, Kenzo drew it while calling out, “Musan Nakago (Vanishing Blade)!” As the dagger moved from its position from his left side to his right in an arc, it began to glow and crackle with electricity, lighting up as it made its journey. When it completed the arc, the lightning bolt shaped blade had completely disappeared, instead an arc of energy appeared in front of Kenzo, its shape following the path of the blade, and shot off towards this overconfident Espada, a loud, thundering roar announcing its presence immediately after it was fired off, the searing heat of the lightning bolt was enough to make Mishiko envious and the sheer speed of it had caused the sonic boom. Though it wasn’t always fatal, even to humans, it hurt like a b***h and could do a lot of damage if used right.
Meanwhile, as the sonic boom blasted open Kenzo’s red haori and the purple kosode under it, sending it rippling behind him, he raised his left hand and formed a cackling orb of energy in it. “Kyuden (Ball Lightning).” Kenzo said as it finished its formation. At the same time the Kyuden finished its formation, the sky began to gradually fill with dark clouds. Though it wasn’t as noticeable, do to the night sky, it would eventually cover up the moon, the only source of light here. The clouds formations were slower though, this was a desert and the moisture required to form clouds often weren’t available. It was times like these that Kenzo really wished Aoi was here. Now then, Kenzo throw his Kyuden up into the air and watched as it launched itself at this ‘Espada’ that had dared to attack. Though it wasn’t as fast as Musan Nakago, it was without a doubt more powerful and it was meant to be a follow-up. The ball was easily manipulated so even if it did miss, all Kenzo had to do was turn it around.
As his bare chest was revealed to the cool air, Kenzo let out an impatient grumble, it would likely take a while for the requirements of Arashimonsuun to be met. Though using so many attacks at once may seem to be a bit hasty, it was how Kenzo rolled. Overwhelm your opponent with a swarm of attacks and take them out before they could react. If they didn’t immediately get destroyed, that was what his kitsune form was for. As opposed to the swift attacks he was launching now, his Kitsune Form was much, much more devastating.

____________________________________________________
It was clear now, that Kazuya was not seen as a threat to overwhelm with such force without even attempting to see what he was or was not capable of. His eyes lowered half shut as if saddened by a loss of a loved one or something, but in fact it was the complete opposite, he hated those who seen him as weak, to the extent of feeling sorrow for them, for he knew that he would be the one to kill them one day.
He raised his left hand up slowly, as it reached waist height, it clenched onto the hilt of his zanpakuto, Kazuya hardly wasted the effort, the first attack that came towards him seemed to be a electrical charged blade heading towards him with immense speed, so to allow such a attack to make physical contact would be as foolish as suicide. However, it made things even more interesting, while Kazuya took into consideration all he knew of the kinetic energy spectrum and how it would relate towards the electrical charge of one out source of energy towards another living body. Have similar properties to fire, Kazuya charged his aura around the blade creating a cloak of spiritual energy, nearly causing the blade to resemble a torch of fire, he slowly tossed the blade upward, while taking several steps back.
Once the lightning charged blade made contact with his zanpakuto, a loud crackling noise could be heard, no doubt from the friction created from those two different charges of energy. Kazuya then took several steps forward latching onto his blade, clenching his teeth, ready for the pain, he felt a sudden stun like feeling that travel all up and down his body, nearly forcing it to go numb. How Kazuya was not one for being beaten so easily, nor was he one to charge into an attack head on without having some sort of plan. As the man pushed back the blade slightly, he altered its course allowing for it to graze the side of his face before it passed by his body embedding itself into a near by sand hill.
Kazuya looked up, as several drops of blade fell from the side of his face, taking note that the blade had made contact with his lower left cheek. Kazuya did not react to the pain, perhaps from the numbing sensation that was still traveling through his body, or the simple fact that he would not show any signs of being weak towards the kitsunes. Kazuya realized that one of the major impacts lightning had resulted in a high octane heat that burnt any thing it made contact with, Kazuya gripped his zanpakuto tightly as steam seemed to be emitting from his body.
As the Kitsune sent out it's second attack, a fiery aura could be seen surrounding Kazuya. The only reason this was possible was the result of his element based zanpakuto, allowing him to control fire to a specific degree, meaning his body temperature, a useless ability at times for Kazuya, now became a ace in the hole for his defense. As the orb came barreling towards him, Kazuya raised his right hand out shooting a cero blast that attempted to slow down the orb, as it slowly broke through the pillar of crimson energy materializing from the palm of his hand, Kazuya raised his hand upward making contact with the ball of energy, the heat from it was excruciatingly hot, although not enough to kill him, He then gently pushed back the orb several inches ahead of his body, and brought his right fist down propelling the orb into the sandy depths of the silver dessert.
One fault for the Kitsune would be the sand, if he had taken time to notice, sand is a natural repellent to electricity. Giving him a slight advantage, even though his right hand had become badly burnt, and fell limp to his side, he had become use to the burning of various parts of his body, seeing how it was a side effect to releasing his zanpakuto, this would not be enough to slow him down.
Kazuya raised his zanpakuto into the sky, his alter image disappearing, as he sonido giving him the appearance of invisibility, he appeared several inches behind the kitsune his zanpakuto sheathed, as he pointed his left hand towards the spine of the kitsune prepared to deliver another attack. He let out a brief yawn. Seeming to show little signs of wanting to continue the fight, he walked around in front of the kitsune, looking him from up to down with a slight smirk across his face. Kazuya gave his right arm several jabs towards the pressure points that seemed to be blocked at the time. His arm then seemed to come back to life. He gripped his right hand several times before ripping through the air in front of him creating a miniature garganta, he turned back looking towards the group of kitsunes a slight smirk across his face. "Welcome to Hueco Mundo" He said before disappearing through the small black portal gone without a trace. -exit towards meeting hall-

Mishiko's head snapped up and she focused on the lone figure. How brash of him to attack alone. He was liable to get killed with that kind of mentality. Before Mishiko could do much of anything about him, Kenzo beat her to it. And he used that damn Musan Nakago of his.
"Damn you, Kenzo!" She shouted at him, waving a clenched fist. She'd get him back, some way or another. He knew she hated that technique. It made her feel...cold.
Of course, by this time, Mishiko had managed to evade the attack via Kasoku. She gripped Muerte and Vida firmly as she stood at the peak of a dune to the right. It wouldn't do for them to be separated but she supposed it was a given. Between being too far from the others and burning them in a fight, she preferred the first option. Just seeing the arrancar so arrogantly firing off ceros like he owned the world was making it increasingly difficult to keep what was left of her cool. She needed to be calm enough to sniff out the b*****d who took Aoi. Then her inner kitsune could have at it for all she cared. So long as the culprit perished. The pipsqueak with an attitude problem and no brains could go to Kenzo. He was too weak, anyway. Mishiko was after the strongest one she could get. It was about time her kind came out of the shadows and shook off the dust from their daggers. It was time to wreak havoc.
I'm gonna enjoy this, she thought.
As the Firefox waited, she twitched Vida up and down like a drummer keeping time. Tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap-a-tap tap-tap. Her ears stayed forward, facing the citadel though occasionally they flicked to the left as she monitored her family's movements. When the arrancar left, Mishiko shook her head. What a fool. He did not deserve to use fire as a weapon. Mishiko began to take on a personal hatred for him. She'd snuff out his flame, eventually. No one could control her element when they were so pitiful. It would consume him. She would consume him. Well, figuratively, at least.
"Thanks," she whispered sarcastically to the air in his wake. Then she turned her upper body, stuck out her tongue and gave Uncas a thumbs down. He would know what it meant; her hitlist was growing.
Mishiko sighed as she turned again to face Las Noches. It was as if it was calling to her. It just waited as if taunting her with it's treasured contents. Oh Aoi. Mishiko's heart took a painful leap as she remembered her beloved sister. Most people assumed that the Firefox despised her adoptive family. In a way, it was true. And yet it was undeniably false as well. Mishiko didn't agree with the others' various points of view or decisions. But she loved them all and would be damned if she let any of them get hurt.
The Kitsunes had always had a rather complex social structure to Mishiko. She had taken some pride in the ripples she had made in the dynamic. With Uncas, Mishiko always tried to annoy him and the two rarely agreed with eachother. Sometimes he would just ignore her altogether. That was okay though since she always ignored his orders. Despite that, they were close enough that Mishiko trusted him implicitely with the leadership. He could keep the others safe if she perished. Her relationship with Aoi had been the oddest, in her opinion. From a glance, it looked as if Aoi was a nuisance to Mishiko. The truth was, it was all a planned effort. It was instinctual. Even though Aoi was technically older than Mishiko, the Firefox was always protective of the Blue Fox. Like the ages had been flipped. Of all the others, Aoi was one of the first that Mishiko worried about. It was strange how they really got along despite the yin and yang effect of their elements. Chi had...taken some getting used to. Yeah, that was a good way to put it. There wasn't much to it. The public opinion was generally right on. Mishiko made a point of ignoring Chi mostly because she knew Chi rubbed her the worst way. She didn't find much in common with her other sister. She didn't try to. But she still would save her life irregardless of the cost to herself. If only the fourth Kitsune would dress normally maybe things would change. Even human clothes were better. Kenzo was the one who usually managed to get away with the worst of it. The two of them had an ongoing battle of pranks. So far, he was the only one she would actually play fight. And that was fine. It was a pretty good scheme. But there were times when she could talk to him normally. Mishiko was convinced he was the only one who got it. Who understood what it was like to be a time bomb, to be so horrifically destructive. She loved being a hothead sometimes but hated it sometimes too. And no one else could really understand except maybe Kenzo. Mishiko treated Basu like a kid brother. At first, it had pissed her off royally when he started emulating her and following her around. But Uncas had calmed her down and now she let it happen. She didn't mind. In a way, it was kind of endearing. And what the hey, he didn't over-do it. Basu was another that Mishiko would rush to save, maybe more so than the others. But she couldn't help it. He was the baby of the family in appearance and power.
Mishiko sheathed Muerte then rested her free hand on Kasai. Slowly, she drew her dagger and admired it, looking for blemishes. It was an empty act. But Mishiko needed something to fiddle with. All this hallmark-y talk about her family was setting her on edge. Then, without further ado, Mishiko pointed Kasai at the ground a few feet away then began turning slowly in a circle. A ring of flames formed around her. She sheathed her dagger then gestured with a finger for the flames to grow. Grow they did. Mishiko let them top off at twenty feet and settled to wait. She was back to her former position-knees up and wide and leaning forward on them with Muerte's and Vida's tips resting in the sand.

Uncas features were pulled into the calmest smile. His mission was done as far as Chi. She had been feeling like this was her fault, and he could easily tell she was saddened by it. No, he didn’t need that, not from her. She was a valuable partner just like all the Kitsune were but more or less, she was family. So, he would do what was necessary to bring a beam of happiness to her face. If she was level headed, she wouldn’t need to feel like she needed to be a hero Uncas was one of puissant nerve. He kept himself calm even when it appeared as though he was angry. That is until darker forces with in him decided to grasp his logical reason of thinking. He had to be this way which was testament of being a leader of the Kitsune. Sure, they were probably capable of leading with an iron fist and they would come to that when the time called for it. For now, they were going to create a focal point of doing their main task and that was getting Aoi back home. That annoying word again was heard when the red hair espada appeared. He had heard something similar with the man who took Aoi. This one had no customary design to it, it was simply cero.
Uncas didn’t even bother to acknowledge such an attack. He had searched the reiatsu build up the instant the red head one arrived. He wasn’t talking about when the eyes could physically outline his contour. Uncas was referring too when the space in between the moisture in the air could be filled. He already knew he was coming, he just wasn’t certain who he was. There was never any veiling when it came to Uncas. Not many knew what his element was capable of but they would soon find out. Uncas had not looked up because the minute he heard that bothersome word Kenzo picked up on directly and his lightening had went off. Kenzo could deal with him. Not surprised, Uncas saw the dismay of Mishiko with her words she bellowed out to Kenzo, and her gesture of thumbs down. He knew all to well what that meant and it was something he didn’t have a problem with. If Kenzo didn’t kill the idiot later on, Mishiko would get rid of him. Besides these idiot espada had no idea what was even happening, Uncas was getting information on all of them.
While they thought they were impressive to map out four of the Kitsune, they still had three more. They may be less in number but when you are combating elemental geniuses, you don’t think of numbers. After the fool launched both attacks he appeared behind them. Uncas still didn’t bother to acknowledge him because with the decrease of his sudden anger-like reiatsu, he knew there would be no more attacking unless he was capable of what Uncas could do and that he was not. He soon showed off a sonido to appear in front of them that was not impressive and he greeted them with a welcome to Hueco Mundo. Mishiko seemed to respond back which was expected.
” Go get someone who is in charge. I would prefer your leader, the queen of Hueco Mundo. Someone who actually has authority. That way we wont have to kill a underling so fast.”
Uncas voice was calm and the tone was respectful but those words that he spoke was serious. Did they think they were coming here for games? That was warning number two from Uncas or should we be accurate and say from his fox. Those gold eyes that shined brightly with testament of him being the alpha of the Kitsune were glowing a crimson color. The Kitsune in him was growing quite enraged and in this place of Hueco Mundo, he was very difficult to hold back with such dense reiatsu and so many unfilled areas that the fox wanted to seal and cram up with his own power to increase his own. How had he known that their leader was a woman? Well were you not paying attention when he explained his power? He could fill the space in between things in various ways. This meant the space between what he could distinguish could be filled as well. So when Uncas was starring down at the Los Noches tower, he was starring directly at her and the others that surrounded her. His power had no presence unless he increased his reiatsu so this is why the very keen sense arrancar who was also female, couldn’t make out what was happening.
Of course with sight, this came along with increasing his other senses. So he could hear her and to be able to make such a accurate fact under such circumstances had been quite disturbing, even to Uncas. Yeah, that one guy with the two soul may be number one, but if others thought he and the top three were the only ones to take into consideration, they were very wrong. All of them resonated with uniqueness. His calm psyche was thrown off when his power allowed him to see which one of them were approaching first. If Mishiko saw this then she would attack. That’s the one that she wanted or at least one of them. Kosaku came into play as he left Chi for a moment and he appeared next to Mishiko grabbing her wrist. He probably knew what was to come next because the burning sensation often happened but it was for good reason.
” Hoshi no Tama. Aoi doesn’t have hers. Don’t attack…..yet.”
That fox arrancar was just like foxes. Come prepared and he wasn’t sure how he had gotten a hold of it but he was going to use that to make sure they listen to reason. Uncas calm visage was present but he was not happen in the slightest.

When Mishiko felt Uncas grab her wrist, she became enraged. There was a very clear reason for why the wall of fire existed. The Firefox wanted to be alone. It was bad enough that her kitsune had begun to whisper things to her, let alone have someone interrupting. Even so, a small part of her was happy the voice was drowned out. There are things which do not bear repeating.
His words were strike two on her rage meter. Yes he was the leader but how dare he assume to tell her when to attack. That was the other purpose of her wall. She was remaining in a state of preparation. As soon as she gained sight of another enemy, she would rip their throat right out. And she didn't care if it counted as cannibalism.
"Let. Go," Mishiko said, her words no more than a deadly rumble which seemed to be echoed by the roar of the flames. The temperature of her skin rose slowly which was a sign that she was trying to remain in control. Uncas wasn't her enemy. The so-called Espada were.
The Espada. They who reigned over all other hollow. The very beings which took Aoi away. Only death and despair stood in their wake. How dare they. How dare they exist.
It was strike three, followed by a spike in the temperature of her skin. Mishiko seemed to begin to steam as she began to dehydrate. Clouds formed across the exposed gold hammered into Muerte and Vida's handles. The black of her pupils leached out into her irises and then to the whites of her eyes. Her pupils begin to darken to deep rust as the gold in her eyes flashed. In her head, her kitsune was growing louder, it's voice forced through her remaining control.
Kill them all, it told her. They look down upon you like an interesting bug. But they'll only try to squash you. Show them your power. Our power. Let me out and we will tear them down. All of them. Starting with the fool gripping your wrist, who thinks he can control you.
In the flames, the image of Aoi appeared. Then it was replaced with a mirror image of Mishiko, Uncas beside her. Abruptly, Mishiko came back to herself. The flames swirled into nothing as she distanced herself from her element. She knew she had to isolate herself, for that was how her other side gained control. Her temperature dropped to a more bearable range but her eyes remained the same. The kitsune was still there, ready to pounce at a moment's notice.
"I'm here to get Aoi," Mishiko said. "That includes her damn Hoshi no Tama. My means to achieve that goal are my business. But I won't be alone. You should let go before I really lose control."
She didn't want to hurt Uncas. He pissed her off, sure. But not enough to unleash her kitsune. She only hoped he had the sense to realize how very close she was to that ledge.
