"Thank you,With a smile, the young man went back to his mistress with Rakey-san in tow. "Mistress, here's the medium we need. She said that it was okay," informed the young man. Moving over, the little girl was quick in examining Rakey-san. She was obviously taller than her, but there was something very strange about her. Of course, the little girl didn't know that the feeling she got from her was because Rakey-san was an Arrancar, a being with a different wavelength, as she didn't know much about Arrancar, Bounts, Vaizards, and the lot except for shinigami and people with a sixth sense. To her, Rakey-san was just someone with a strange aura.
The two others handed over the mirror, the katana, and the magatamas to the little girl and the little girl presented them to Rakey-san, expecting that she take it. "These are the weapons forged from your hearts. If you want to lessen the strain on Xeion's soul and allow him to recover at a much quicker rate, you need to return these to the hearts from whence they came," said the girl. All of a sudden, the magatamas disappeared and transformed into a beam of light in the color of Rakey-san's reiatsu and shot into her heart. The Mark, "XIII", appeared on her forehead once again, but soon faded into blue spirit articles which returned to Xeion's unconscious body, hence completing the contract for the Soul Link.
After that, Xeion began to move a little, but it still wasn't enough for him to completely regain consciousness. Rakey-san still had to return the mirror and the katana to their respective hearts. "I assume that you know the owners of these. I now leave you with the task of returning these. If you want to help, this is the best way you could." Nodding at Rakey, the little girl walked back to her companions and knelt down in front of Xeion's body, looking at him, eagerly awaiting for his awakening.

Rakey followed the man to where Xeion layed and where the other three people were. The girl who looked as if she was still in middle school looked at Rakey as if she were examining and questioning her. But her eyes were released from Rakey when she was handed the Magatamas, the Kagami, and Kusanagi. Each of these were made from her own, Katsumi's, and Ringo's hearts.
The girl told her that the items were straining Xeion's soul, and that he would recover at a higher rate is these were returned to their owners. Nodding at what the girl said to Rakey she said, "I wi-", but was interrupted by the magatamas dissappearing. They then changed into a beam of light which was a lavender hue, the color of her reiatsu, and pierced her heart. For a second, Rakey had thought she was going to die, but felt no pain from it. She didn't notice the Roman numeral on her forehead, but noticed blue reiatsu particles which fell from her forehead and returned to Xeion.
[1/3 of items returned]
Rakey twisted her head to see that Xeion moved slightly, because a third of the strain had been lifted.
"I assume that you know the owners of these. I now leave you with the task of returning these. If you want to help, this is the best way you could."
The girl said before nodding at her and walking back to and kneeling beside Xeion. Rakey nodded back to the girl eager to be of a help, and rushed to Ringo's side.
Yata no Kagami, was the item in which Ringo had produced from her heart earlier. Rakey held the mirror up to Ringo with her left hand and held the sword in her right.
"Hai douzo, (Here you are)" Rakey said to Ringo, as the mirror did the same as the magatamas had done to Rakey, but the beam was a different color, since Ringo's reiatsu was a different color than Rakey's. The Mark, "XIII" formed on Rin-chan's forehead just as it had done to her before, but dissappeared into blue reiatsu, which returned to Xeion. Another third of the strain was lifted from Xeion's soul.
"Next is Katsumi-san," Rakey said.
[2/3 of the items are returned]

Ringo stopped playing her flute when a beam of apple-red reiatsu entered Ringo's chest, but hoping she would die from it, or at least get burnt, she felt nothing from it. Breathing a sigh of relief, she noticed that the roman numeral on her forehead, the one which stood for 13, disappeared and turned into blue reiatsu particles which flew back to where they came from, her nii-nii. "Rakey, what just happened...," asked Ringo, "what was that blue light?"
After a while, Ringo shrugged the entire thing off and returned to playing her song for Katsumi. She could ask that later, but right now, healing Katsumi was the first thing that needed to be done. Without her, Rakey and herself might have been in a worse position than they were in now. In fact, both of them could have died had it not been for Katsumi's brave and selfless actions. This was Ringo's way of thanking Kastumi for everything she had done.

Hearing Ringo ask her these questions, Rakey answered them as best as she could. "Yata no Kagami, you made it from your heart, and now it returned to you, the creator of it," The blue lights were the next thing on the list to explain to Ringo.
"I think the blue reiatsu, was Xeion's reiatsu. Since he gave us that kiss on our forehead, there were traces of reiatsu incoporated in it, which, I'm guessing, was part of the soul Link he mentioned earlier in the fight. The Roman Numeral, XIII, was part of it, but I don't know what that symbolizes, but obviously has something to do with him. And then, since the link was completed, it eturned to him...I think?" Rakey guessed looking to her right, a sigm of remembering something auditoy. The statement she had remembered was Xeion saying, "Soul Link estalished," in the beginning of the fight, or something close to that.
After telling Ringo what she had thought were the answers to her questions, Rakey took a few steps forward towards Katsumi-san. She layed there on the ground, and Rakey knelt down beside her and held Kusanagi no Tsurugi over her. Just like the earlier two artifacts, Kusanagi dispersed into a beam of light, the same color of Katsumi's reiatsu and pierced her heart. Just like Ringo, the 'XIII' Mark formed on Katsumi's forehead and transfomed to spiritual particles, blue in color, that drifted back to Xeion's body. Hopefully, it would help him gain consciousness. Staying by Katsumi's side for a few minutes, she then said,
"Katsumi-san, Thank you for protecting us, from the blast," Rakey then stood up and walked over to Xeion, she stood a few feet away behind the group of people who stood before him.
"Umm... I returned the other two artifacts to their owner," She mumbled, looking at Xeion, laying on the ground, and looking to the younger girl.
"Is he okay now?" She asked as her eyes grew full of worry.
[3/3 All artifacts returned]

((Quick post that may be incoherent cuz I'm shleeepppyyy))
For a while Katsumi simply lay there, able to hear the sounds of Ringo's flute in a certain part of her consciousness, her wounds healing and her spiritual power returning as the other played her song.
As Rakey wen about returning the artifacts that Xeion had gained from their three hearts, Katsumi's mind began to come back into focus and she could here and understand some of the things around her. She felt the strange light on her forehead as the number XIII was formed, understanding from what she heard that the katana that had stemmed from her heart was being returned, lifting a burden from Xeion.
"Katsumi-san, Thank you for protecting us, from the blast," Rakey said, before walking away, presumably towards the other voices she heard coming from where Xeion lay.
"You're welcome," she mouthed, barely audible. She smiled, still unable to open her eyes but glad to be able to hear that everything seemed to be alright.

"Okay, I understand," said Ringo in response to Rakey's explanation then turned to see Katsumi was already starting to show signs of recovering. Seeing this, Ringo stopped playing her song because she knew that Katsumi was going to be fine now. Ringo was successful in providing harmony in her dissonant biorhythm due to the fatigue and stress Katsumi's body was having by playing an exact opposite to the "tune" of her body's rhythmic cycle.
Ringo stood up and walked over to where Rakey stood, looking at her arrancar friend, then at the three people, then the girl kneeling down, then to her nii-nii, hoping that, after everything they went through, he would emerge okay. Because she was so worried, Ringo placed her hand on Rakey's shoulder, her eyes beginning to water. "I really hope nii-nii will be okay," she said, "I don't know what I would do if he...no, I don't want to jinx him. Nii-nii...please come back."

Rakey saw Ringo come beside her and she heard the sadness and worry in her voice. "Ringo, your Nii-Nii is strong, he'll come back, and everything will be fine, neh? You have to be strong for him and believe, because he'll come back, neh?" Rakey said to her as she turned her head to look at her face.
Ringo's hand was on her shoulder and her eyes were beginning to water. "Ringo, don't cry, When Xeion returns he wouldn't want to see your crying face, he'd want to see you smiling, I'm sure. So please don't cry," Rakey attempted to comfort Ringo by giving her a hug. Rakey wasn't one for seeing someone in tears, in fact, when she saw someone cry she'd go into tears as well.

Katsumi was finally able to open her eyes, moving her head a bit to look towards Rakey who was comforting Ringo. It seemed the two were just fine, though of course they were worried about Xeion, just as Katsumi herself was. She was sure he'd be fine, being as sturdy as he was, but she couldn't help but worry.
She sighed mentally, trying to see if she could pick herself up off the ground yet and failing. It looked like it'd be best to simply concentrate on herself for the time being. She closed her eyes again, focusing on regaining at least enough strength to be able to approach the others, grateful to Ringo for healing her enough to speed up this process.

Xeion slowly opened his eyes to see that almost everyone he knew was worried about him. The first thing he saw was Rin-chan and Rakey-san who were comforting each other. Next he saw Kat-chan in the corner of his eye, struggling to get up and probably comfort Rin-chan and Rakey-san, saying that they shouldn't cry or something which would lighten up their spirits. Lastly, he saw four faces that he hadn't seen in a very long time, but thing he noticed more, however, was that the little girl he knew was actually looking worried -- a sign of emotion which she didn't usually show to anyone besides herself when she was alone.
"Hey...why so glum? Pretty girls...and handsome guys...should always smile...," Xeion murmured in a barely audible voice. He couldn't move because of fatigue and the strain on his body had him hurting in places he didn't even know existed, but even so, he was happy to be back.
"Welcome back," the girl murmured, the worry on her face slowly lifting and returned to her normal, expressionless one, but deep in her heart, she was glad.
"You shouldn't worry your friends like that again, kid," the old man followed up.
"He's right; everyone was worried around you, you know?" smiled the young woman.
"You sly dog, you have the girls weeping all over you and you call yourself a gentleman? This only proves that I'm much cooler than you," jested the young man.
"Heh...I guess I should work more on my manners then...," Xeion replied, laughing weakly.

Rakey opened her tearful eyes quickly, for she felt a slight rise in reiatsu from her pesquisa. It was Xeion's spiritual signature that had risen and triggered her pesquisa. Surprised that he was able to talk right after waking up, she lifted her head from Ringo's shoulder and looked at Xeion with a big smile. All her worries had washed away then when she saw him laughing, though it was a feeble laugh, it still made her less worried.
"Xeion-san yatto okita yo, ((Xeion finally woke up))" she said to Ringo-chan.
"Good Morning, Xeion-kun," Rakey said to the shinigami laying on the ground. But Rakey then remembered that she still hadn't given Xeion what the three had come for. The picture of Xeion and Ky. Rakey dropped the photgraph that Xeion had cherished so dearly, into the palm of his hand.
"Hai, we came to return this to you," Rakey smiled as she turned over to where another person lay. Another person who was there with them, who still was by themself and wasn't looked at yet. Ky.
Rakey looked around and spotted him laying against the slab of rock still. The arrancar approached the bount, she had forgiven him of the events that had occured earlier, and was now worried about his injuries. Once she made it over to where the bount sat, the arrancar asked him tilting her head,
"Are you okay?"
But before she could wait for an answer, she thought it was about time that Rakey and Katsumi were going to have to leave. For the fight had finished and their job was done. The arrancar stood up straight and turned on her heel, and glided over to Katsumi's side.
"We should be going Katsumi-san," Rakey held her hand out for Katsumi so she could use Rakey to stand and use her for support once she stood.
[We should probably get this finished soon since the timeskip is tomorrow]

When the arrancar, Rakey, approached him, Ky simply ignored her and continued with simply reflecting on what he did wrong to get an outcome such as this. His plan was flawless, he made everything work, he even went so far as doing unspeakable acts just so Xeion could get mad at him and show him the power he had deep inside him and then, with that power unleashed, Ky would beat him down and prove once and for all that he was the best. To think that three women made all the difference in the fight made Ky rethink his ideas. Was there something in "not fighting alone" that makes Xeion such a strong opponent? Was it because of his natural ability or was it because of the powers he had gained from the three? Those were but some of the questions in his mind.
This time of self-evaluation was cut short, however, when the Rauber, the KyCorp assault airship hovered above the ruins of the Maniak Wing having detected large quantities of energy being released into the surrounding atmsophere. "Right on time, as usual," said Ky, walking forward as a steel ladder dropped down from the Rauber in front of Ky, waiting for him to step on it. Turning to the people there, mostly on the shinigami girl, Ringo, and Xeion, Ky spoke with a grin. "I guess I'll be off for now. Feel free to follow us when you're finished being mushy and s**t. I'll leave the gate open unless you still have the power to use your dark mirror, eh, Xeion?"
Ascending the ladder, it folded up automatically just as he took each and every step until he entered back into his airship and returned to the Rauber's command center. Sitting on the captain's chair, he ordered to immediately leave Hueco Mundo and chart a course back to Earth.

"We should be going Katsumi-san," Rakey's voice pulled Katsumi out of her thoughts. The other did have a good point... they really shouldn't be here much longer, and the Shinigami had best head back to the Soul Society.
She nodded a bit, picking herself up slowly, and using the hand Rakey held out towards her for assistance. "Thanks." She smiled at the other before turning back towards the Shinigami. "It's good to see you're alright." She didn't really direct this at anyone in particular, as the statement really did apply to everyone else in the vicinity. "We'll have to be leaving now, duty calls." She waved a hand simply at the direction of the two Shinigami before leaving. "Until we meet again."

"No, no, I'm fine," muttered Xeion, standing up on his own, two feet although he was feeling very weak. "I'm a man, I can take it. I can't let Rin-chan carry me because of something as simple as this. I promised her to always be strong in front of her, and that's what I'll do." Xeion smiled and held out his hand, summoning a Dark Mirror back to the Sereitei. Although he was weak, the promise he made to Rin-chan long ago was driving him to become stronger in spite of his fatigue.
Turning his head back to Kat-chan and Rakey-san, he smiled, shouting out with glee. "Thank you all for everything you've done. I wish you both luck and hope that you may become stronger day by day. Just know that, if you ever need any help, feel free to call on me and I'll be right on my way, ne?" Waving his hand, Xeion turned back to Rin-chan, holding out his hand towards her, waiting for her to reach for it so that both of them might go back to the Sereitei together. "Rin-chan, you've grown into a strong young lady. I'm so proud of you, dearest imouto (little sister)," he smiled.

Rakey nodded to what Katsumi said, and heard Xeion shout. Rakey twisted her head and looked back at the others, she smiled, "Un, until we meet again,".Turning her head back to face forward and waved just as Xeion and Katsumi had done. After doing this, Rakey followed Katsumi out of the ruins.
