|789| Kazama, Kazuhiko, Ichibantai FukutaichōInside Kazuhiko's office 
(I had some of this typed up and then my power went off. Therefore I cannot guarantee the same quality as it is late and I should be in bed >.<)
It had been a somewhat long day for Kazuhiko and considering all the reports of these mysterious creatures recently it hadn't been enjoyable either. While it was widely believed that those that had spotted the creatures were drunk personally Kazuhiko was completely unsure what to think. Part of him wanted to believe that the witnesses were unreliable and that it was just their own little loch ness monster however the more they were sighted the more he began to wonder if there was any truth to the stories. It seemed unlikely. If they were true however he had to wonder exactly what these creatures were as they didn't seem like hollows. At least from the rumors it didn't seem that way but then again who knew how far the rumors had been twisted since the first telling. Rumors had a habit of being exaggerated the more they were told and this rumor had definitely been passed around enough. It was all rather tiresome just dealing with actually.
Then there was the matter of Yuki's continued comatose state. Hope had been ignited at the sight of her Spirit visiting him on the day of the human's visit of Soul Society. However the longer time dragged on the more the situation seemed hopeless. He still popped in to check on her state whenever possible but there didn't seem to be any change. Ever. He had long since made piece with the fact that Yuki just may not be waking up anytime soon if ever. It wasn't a very desirable outcome but it seemed likely. Kazuhiko had gotten used to substituting for her but he still had no wish to make the position permanent. Hopefully things didn't come down to that. Currently he was seated behind his desk just finishing up the last bits of work and rubbing the sleep from his eyes or at least attempting to do so. It seemed like he would be able to get a good nights sleep for once and quite frankly he was looking forward to it.
As the last bits of paperwork were put into the finished pile Kazuhiko stood up and went to the cabinet on the far side of the wall just by the door and opened it. Grabbing out a jug of water and a glass he poured himself a glass of water and took a drink. Returning the jug to the cabinet and closing it back up he returned to the desk. Rubbing his neck slightly he let out a small sigh and closed his eyes for a few moments. Oh it would be so nice to get some rest right about now. Taking another drink of water he set the glass down when the knocking was heard. Eyes popping open Kazuhiko let out another small nearly inaudible sigh and got up. It seemed rest would have to wait at least for a few more minutes. Walking over to the door and opening with polite expression or at least as polite as he could manage currently Kazuhiko gazed at the two people outside his door. "Kougji-taichō is something wrong? There hasn't been a change in the Sōtaichō's status has there?"
Giving Emiya a glance Kazuhiko bowed his head slightly in greeting. Then figuring the human girl would not be here if there was a change in Yuki's status he stepped aside. "Please do come in Kougji-taichō and Emiya-san." Walking back to his desk he gestured to the other side of the desk. "Please sit." Waiting for them to do so Kazuhiko took a moment to rub his eyes once more. "Now I am going to assume consider Emiya-san's presence that there has been no change. Therefore one can only assume that there is something wrong. May I ask what is troubling the both of you tonight? Oh and considering the late hour there is no need for formalities please speak freely." Leaning back in his chair slightly Kazuhiko gave them both his full attention hoping beyond hope that they didn't bring bad news. Fat chance of that. Briefly he wished that his cousin and head of house was present. He would know exactly what to do in any situation. There seemed to be no chance of him returning however not to mention he could be dead. It seemed even he weren't dead he had no desire to return. Something he was reminded of every time he visited his uncle. For the foreseeable future it seemed he would be on his own. He just hoped he possessed even an ounce of his cousin's wisdom. Man he really had to be tired to think about this all again. Hopefully this news was not bad and he could go to sleep.
(Message me if anything needs changed for now I go to sleep. Sorry posted it with the wrong account this morning.)

__________▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃ ___________■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■  _________【 Rei Nagare ★ Spirit Manifestation 】 ______________________"My right hand is death. My left hand is life. __________________________________❤ | _ My eyes are madness..." [Yuki's Room, Sōgō Kyūgo Tsumesho]
Yuki was still; her body was completely without motion for she did not even breath. Seven months ago, before she had slipped into a coma, Yuki had used the last of her power to put her body in a state of hibernation so that she did not require food, water, or air. She was no longer attached to any sort of machine and her clothes hadn't been changed in a few days. Such things like her baths and having her clothes changed were no longer a daily ritual, as her brother was no longer there to take care of such things for her. Unfortunately for Rei, it had been a bit of a task for her to do these things herself. For starters, while it was easy for her to physically change her mistress, she found Yuki sexually appealing to begin with, thus having her naked in front of her tended to lead her down a dark, perverse alley of thought. Secondly, bathing her was even harder due to the physical contact, yet she refused to let anyone else taint her mistress with their touch. Thus, the complexity of it all stopped her from doing it every day. This evening found Rei curled up in a ball on Yuki's stomach in her miniature kitsune form. The majority of her body was still just as Yuki was, but every so often her puffy red tail would stand straight up like it had a mind of it's own, and flick back and forth multiple times before it settled next to her once more.
Since she wasn't in human form, Rei was unable to utilize her "Kitsune Jimoku" ability to see all across the Seireitei as the new developments began to arise, specifically the movement of the creatures. She had noticed them earlier during one of her routine scans, but she hadn't seen any reason to do anything about them because they weren't doing anything wrong at the time. Nevertheless, despite her lack of that ability, she was still able to hear quite well, well enough in fact, that she could hear the movement and voices of the Shinigami responding to the creature that was outside the Hospital. Her ears perked up at the first sign of trouble, and after sitting up and stretching with a yawn, Rei hopped off Yuki's stomach. She landed on the floor below with a soft thump, then softly padded out of the room and down the hallway, attracting a fair amount of attention from those that knew her and those that did not. Those that did were not expecting her to leave Yuki's side so soon after this morning and those that did not where wondering why in the world there was a chipmunk-sized fox roaming the halls of a hospital. She didn't blame either for casting her the looks they did, but she had no time to deal with them at the present moment. Her exiting of the hospital went very smoothly as there were enough people aware of who she was that she didn't have to stop to ask people to open doors for her and instead had them opened as soon as she was in sight.
[Outside the Sōgō Kyūgo Tsumesho]
Once outside the hospital, Rei came face to face with four of these creatures as well as several different Shinigami all holding their Asauchi in a fighting stance. The area was pockmarked from various Kido that had been thrown around, indicating battle, though Rei didn't need to see such things to understand what was going. The Shinigami closest to her noticed her presence and expressed a sense of relief, but it was too soon to be feeling such things. Taking action immediately, the miniature fox vanished from sight, appearing in mid-air in front of the nearest Avant-garde's mask. She seemed to hang there in the air for a second before exhaling a yip from her throat and sending a devastating pressurized attack that caught it like a tornado and flung it down the alleyway and straight past the 4th Division's barracks before it slammed into the wall of a building and slumped to the ground in a heap. Landing softly on the ground, Rei shed her kitsune form, rising in height rapidly as she lifted her front feet from the ground and shed her red fur. As soon as her canines retracted and her eyes returned to normal, she cracked her neck and then shook her head like a dog might shake it's body to rid it of water. She activated "Kitsune Jimoku" in an instant and began to search the Seireitei for the state of the others. Emiya and Kougji were already with Kazuhiko with her fiancee being lead towards Yuki's room by a group of 6th Division members. Hibiki was well on his way to finding Lee, and Nu was with Senka and Tsukiko as well as Hideki and his daughter. "Have the 2nd and 3rd medical teams on standby, take a playpen from the child care center and put it in Yuki's room, and then send someone to Nu and Hideki to get them to take the young ones to her room." Despite the odd looks she got from those standing near her, her request was not questioned in the slightest and they tripped over themselves in order to fulfill it. In the meantime, Rei returned her attention to the creature, which was now getting to it's feet like nothing had happened; the spirit figured it wouldn't be so easy.{915}

Haru Mori
Lieutenant, Fourth Division
Sereitei, Soul Society
[Fourth Division Grounds]
The dinner box dropped at the ground with a loud clatter and food spilled everywhere.
Haru took one lungful of air and then reached out over his right shoulder. With one swift pull, he drew out his strapped katana. Its sheath was vividly designed with vines and leaves that extremely resembled the colors of spring season; however, Haru thought, one should not be deceived by its inviting colors because the Fourth Division lieutenant had the strong tendency to do interesting things with his blade. But alas, the ghostly figures before him seemed to have no ability to process beauty or any thought besides their aim. Slowly, Haru pulled out the blade from the sheath and then felt his body quiver as he did so.
The enemy, or so Haru would like to label the Hollow-seeming target, made another threatening step towards him. Haru instinctively made another step back, stepping on a few rice from the box he just dropped. "I guess..." Haru said softly, not taking his eyes off from the foe. "My peace offering would just have to wait at the moment, Bushūgi-taichō." He added with a vague smile.
With that, he made a swift dash that strangely resembled a Shunpo but not as fast, of course. He made a quick pull of his katana and then crossed the body of the enemy in a brief instant. Suddenly, a straight crack burst from the ground as if a gigantic claw struck it. The crack instantly crawled up to the enemy and when attack reached it, the monster's torso made a sickening ripping sound and a huge gouge vertical mark burst from its body. "Pangunahing Hakbang." Haru said softly, looking back at his working.
The figure staggered backwards and then stumbled upon the ground. Naturally, it stirred. Haru was expecting it to move. The first strike was always the weakest among the set and that he used it mostly to measure the durability of his targets. The Fourth Division lieutenant then discovered that the enemy was quite durable and that...
"How can that be?!" He gasped as he saw the figure stand up and its "ripped" torso now returned to its normal. It seemed to have made a long sigh, as if tired of something, and then moved forward to Haru again. The enemy had an extremely fast regeneration ability but the attack was shallow, of course. Perhaps, Haru needed to make a deeper wound then. So, he made another stance and then pulled his blade in another manner different from the first one. "Pangalawang Hakbang!" He exclaimed and then made one swift skip and disappeared from where he was standing and appeared in front of the enemy. He brandished his katana for a moment and then spun it in his hand; suddenly, two loud ripping noise rent the air and two deep slash marks burst from the enemy's body. This time, however, the marks smoked as a tremendous amount of reiryoku released from Haru's blade. He stepped back and then staggered backwards. He shook his head as he felt the first signs of swordplay, disorientation.
The enemy made a few cracking sounds and its body regenerated once more. Haru's eyes narrowed. His gripped on his blade tightened. The enemy stepped forward once more, but this time, faster.
[Notes: Pangunahing Hakbang - First Step; Pangalawang Hakbang - Second Step]

Division Four Captain ℐourney ₦o ℳore Kougji took to point what Emiya said, if indeed that was the only way to harm these creatures then this news would have to be confirmed. When Hibiki announced that he had to take his leave, Kougji merely nodded, it seemed as if the creatures were affected by spiritual powers, so, if that was the case, then having Captain Lee would indeed be a great asset at this time, however, Kougji was thinking of other matters. Turning to Emiya, having not responded to her comment until now. "Well, lets hope that it's our advantage right now, and lets hope that doesn't change." Kougji waited patiently, he didn't bother turning to ask what Emiya was doing, but he could sense she was moving a lot, he shrugged it off, if it was a problem he was sure she would inform him of the situation. When at last the door opened, Kougji gave a short bow to the acting head captain. "I'm afraid not, her condition hasn't worsened however, so be at ease." Kougji accepted the invitation, entering his office, he was sure that Emiya was to follow.
Kougji, though silently, declined the offer to sit, he stood at alert in front of Kazuhiko's desk, it was with a great sunken heart that he put this terrible burden on his shoulders so late an hour, but it was without question that he must. "We have intruders in Seireitei. And while I would like to be able to inform you more of who or what they are, our information is limited." Kougji looked troubled still, as he had been since leaving his own division, he couldn't shake the feeling that was weighing down on him, failure, he failed to apprehend at least one of these intruders, and he was a supposed captain. "I had a direct confrontation with one of the creatures, as has Emiya. It seems from what we've observed in these fights the creatures have the ability to regenerate wounds, no matter the severity, use themselves as living bombs, duplicate and at this point, most likely other abilities we are not aware of. I've already sent out messengers throughout Seireitei, and thus at this moment an alert is being spread at a rapid rate. We aren't sure if they are a type of hollow, but from what I can tell it is not like anything we've encountered before."
Kougji looked away from Kazuhiko and towards Emiya. "But according to her, we may have a possible lead on which we may have some sort of victory over them, but we don't have a lot of facts on this theory." He backed away, allowing Emiya to speak then, as she knew more than he did on the matter of the Kidō. "I'll allow Emiya to explain that matter, she had a direct conflict with using it on one of the creatures." Kougji stepped back, he would now allow Emiya to finish reporting to Kazuhiko. Taking a stand to the side, he sat quietly, he wanted to hear what Emiya would add, but he began thinking of Haru, his lieutenant may or may not know of the situation, and if that was so, he could not leave him to wonder about aimlessly, his lieutenant could be in serious danger. Before Emiya might have a chance to begin, he stepped forward slightly. "I do apologize, Kazuhiko, I know this situation is grave, but I must adjourn myself, due to the circumstances, I must station myself nearest the medical centre, I an obligated to the safety of its patients, also, I must find and update my Lieutenant, I do hope you understand." He bowed and walked forward, he stopped for a moment near Emiya, turning his head, he gave her a nod and then continued until he had left. Kougji bounced through the night, from roof to roof, he could sense his Lieutenant far off in the distance, Kougji was worried, frightened almost, his spiritual sense had heightened meaning that something was happening to make him more excited. "Don't you dare do anything stupid Haru."
[left First Division - Heading Towards Fourth]
He muttered to himself. It was soon realized to Kougji as Haru and the creature he was facing came into view. It appeared that Haru had already been attacked, and at that moment, the thing was dodging in for a second round, Kougji made such an entrance that his feet literally broke away the ground, his sword flashed out quicker than the eye could see and cut the thing in half, while the two parts of the creatures body stood there and began to reform, Kougji grabbed Haru by the waist and, using a shunpo, had blasted away from the scene. Now carrying Haru in his arms, Kougji had taken him further away, he was heading towards the Sōgō Kyūgo Tsumesho, as he approached, the building was dark, meaning that the night staff were present, and the others had left. Kougji appeared by the door, in a split moment, he had it open, stepped inside and shut it without making so much as a noise in the entire process. Placing Haru gently on the ground, he ran and dimmed a few of the lights that were present, trying to see if they had at least evaded them. "Haru." Kougji said looking at him. the boy still looked disoriented. He grabbed him by the robes again and carried him deeper into the building, soon appearing into a patients room, which was empty, he threw him down on the bed, Kougji was then still for a moment, sweat beading down his face rapidly. He turned to Haru. "Stay here, that's not a request." Kougji slipped out of the room and left down the hallway, it was with caution he took the safety of the captain commander who was in this building at that time, but also along with the other patients. He knew that Haru may not have been as bad off as he thought, but in a way, Kougji believed that he had to protect him, and the fact that he was forced to fight them because Kougji wasn't there, picked his mind greatly, he was attempting to make up for his short comings. ●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•

[1085] __________▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃ ___________■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■  _________【 Hiiragi Emiya ★ Fullbringer 】 ______________________"Nothing is so strong as gentleness. __________________________________❤ | _ Nothing is so gentle as real strength..." [1st Division, Kazuhiko's Office]
At the very least, he was formal enough to bow to her; it seemed Emiya's fretting about Kazuhiko was not entirely misplaced as he acted much the same her father's friend's did. At least, that was how he was up until the point he was seated at his desk again and offering them a seat. With the door opened to her, she followed Kougji inside and declined the same offer; she was far too nervous to sit down at this point. Not even when he announced that formalities were senseless so late at night did she ease up; certainly it was something different than she was used to, but this meeting alongside the events happening around her weren't going to be eased by a mere passing of honorifics and turn-waiting. As Kougji spoke to Kazuhiko, the Shinigami that Emiya had asked a favor of returned with her requested item, water. However, it seemed as though he had taken her request to mean that she was parched and instead of a bottle of water, she was staring down a clear pitcher of ice water and a crystal glass as he unfolded a small table and set it down next to her. She forced a smile and her thanks before perking her ear at the sound of Kougji mentioning her. She immediately swiveled her head in his direction, mouth agape as he explained to Kazuhiko that she'd be taking over the explanation from where he left off as he left to do other things.
"H-hey!" Alas, it was too late for he was already out the door, leaving her alone with Kazuhiko so that she may explain whatever it was she was supposed to explain all on her lonesome. She fidgeted openly, touching the tips of her pointer fingers together as she struggled to find the right words to say to this person. "W-well, I wouldn't say I had such an encounter to the extent you can say I have experience, but I did... bind one with static electricity... I at the very least understand we can't attack them, or I know that it's not wise to." Already red in the face, Emiya had unconsciously taken a step or two back to distance herself; truly she was not comfortable being in the same room as an important person, and the very idea had reduced her to a shy little girl. "I don't know anymore than that Kazuhiko-dono, my apologies!" She finished her exclamation rather loudly, her volume being somewhat of a defense mechanism insofar that it made the tension slightly more bearable. Regardless of that, however, she had become so uncomfortable with it all that she had picked up the pitcher of water and was out the door in an instant, no longer able to stand in his presance any longer without doing one or more of several embarrassing things.
[1st Division, Outside Kazuhiko's Office]
A second later found the girl outside his office, pitcher in hand, and sinking to the ground in the hallway as people buzzed past her. She was really starting to feel the effects of the heat after running around for so long, despite having finally cooled down a little while ago in the comfort of their living room while cuddling Kuzumi. Sometimes the summer months were a giant drag for the girl, especially since she had such an affinity for colder temperatures. Thinking about how she handled heat now, she was dreading menopause even though it was a good twenty years in the future. Emiya eyed the pitcher for a moment before setting it down on the ground and twisting her body so that she was on her knees in front of it. Moving a little slower than normal, she placed her hand over the ring on her left pointer finger, taking a second to admire her gorgeous engagement ring, then Fullbrought Shisui's ring form, transforming it into the nine-inch ivory hilt. She took it into her hand, then dipped it into the pitcher, letting the protrusion of the handle soak in the water before she began to pull it out. As she did so, a blade of water began to take shape, extending from the protrusion downward, until Shisui's blade of 23.8 inches had fully formed. Peeking into the pitcher, she could see there was still plenty of water left, a fact that irked her slightly because it would go to waste since she had nothing to put it in.
[1st Division, Hallways - Kitchen]
That would have to change, obviously; if she wanted something done, she'd have to do it herself. Emiya eyed the water blade for a moment, watching it glow as she Fullbrought the water inside it, causing it to literally harden but not become frozen. No, what she did was change it's density so that it was something like amber and wouldn't get her wet when she strapped it to her back. Following this, she grabbed onto the blue cord holding Yuunagi and pulled it off her shoulder, placed it on the ground, and then began to toy with the strap until she was able to tie Shishui to it as well. With both of her weapons on the cord, she put it back over her shoulder, then straightened it before grabbing the pitcher and slinking down the hallway in search of someone brighter than the individual she had dealt with earlier. As she strode the hallways of the building, she sorta felt bad for leaving Kauzhiko like she had done, but knew in the back of her mind that nothing could be done in that regard. Eventually she found a sensible-looking female about her height with blonde hair; she stopped the girl, explaining what had happened earlier while holding up and pointing to the pitcher of water during her explanation. The girl smiled, apparently aware of who she was talking about and then lead Emi to a kitchen where she secured her a metallic water bottle. While she was grateful as she saw the girl off, Emi knew that she couldn't, in good conscious, hang onto this bottle for longer than this fiasco lasted. It looked rather expensive, or at the very least, not disposable; and it certainly wasn't. With several pairs of watchful eyes trained on her, Emi poured the remaining water into the bottle and then closed it, looped her finger into the metal ring near it's top and then slipped out of the kitchen, leaving the pitcher at the sink. 凪水 :: "When your opponent starts to fear that he is being controlled by you during combat, you have victory in your hands." :: 夕凪

Haru Mori
Lieutenant, Fourth Division
Sereitei, Soul Society
Haru was on the verge to strike enemy as much as he can for he dealt it such vague damage that he felt infuriated about it. Was the enemy too much for Haru? Was it that strong? What powers did it hold? Was Haru the only one incapable to exterminating the target? What was it that they truly possess? These things ran through the lieutenant's mind as he watched the foe edge closer to him. His face contorted with a scowl as he gripped his katana harder than ever. And at the precise moment, someone arrived so swift and so intense that Haru gasped in shock, eyes widening at the same time.
Kougji Bushūgi appeared so sudden that Haru was sure that his captain made such quick Shunpo, he wasn't able to notice his arrival. Haru flinched backwards as he saw Kougji's sank deep into the ground as he landed in between of Haru and the enemy ("Was that kind of entrance really necessary, Bushūgi-taichō?" Haru sneered in his mind). And for a very brief moment, the lieutenant saw his captain unsheathe his sword so fast that it blurred from Haru's eyes. Then, the ghostly enemy was immediately cut in half. Much not to Haru's surprise, however, the slashed figures began to move and reform. It did not take a genius to deduce that these would result into two more of the figures. Was there a way to destroy them? Haru asked wildly in his mind.
It was only another split second for Kougji to turn to Haru, grabbing him by the waist, and then sped off with a swift Shunpo. The lieutenant wanted to shout at Kougji for leaving such a dangerous creature behind to wander around the Fourth Division grounds (possibly, across Sereitei, also) and hit his captain. However, they were speeding so fast away from the scene that Haru remained silent as his grip in Kougji's Shihakusho tightened as every second passed by. They soon stopped by a building that was horrible familiar to Haru that it didn't take much for him to realize what it was - Sōgō Kyūgo Tsumesho, which is the main healing ward of the Fourth Division. Kougji stepped inside the building along with Haru (still not setting him down), making the least noise as possible, and dimmed the lights. Haru gulped in anxiety as Kougji set him down and then turned to him.
Of course, Haru was absolutely disoriented. If a person battled a figure with a nature that he had no idea at all; grabbed by a superior away from the battle; pulled from the scene with great speed and distance; and then settled at a darkened building, Haru was so sure that anyone even perhaps, Tsukiko Hakase, would find the scene extremely disorienting. But naturally, only Kougji Bushūgi of the Fourth Division was the only one capable of causing that kind of confusion to Haru Mori. The lieutenant gasped for a lungful of air as he watched his captain scan him and called him once by his name before grabbing him AGAIN and the settled him deeper into the dark building and "threw" him in the bed. Haru, at this time, was horribly disturbed and not to mention, baffled.
And much to Haru's displeasure, Kougji "ordered" him to stay and then added that it was not a request. In retaliation, Haru remained silent as he threw Kougji a very, very dirty look and muttered a few profane words that he would not tell any superior in broad daylight. And of course, pushing the edges of Haru's patience bubble, Kougji said no more and then slipped out of the room. Haru gasped and then pulled his sheathed katana (he sheathed it along the way) and threw it unceremoniously across the room and to the door which they passed through and where Kougji exited the room.
"You nasty, vile, old gargoyle!" Haru uttered in frustration as he sat back at one of the cots of the patient room. "What am I supposed to do?! You stupid oaf!" He added and countless others that went nastier and dirtier as time went on.

 桜木 " Nu" Mitsuru Naohito [二番隊] 「人は...大切な何かを守りたいと思った時に本当に強くなれるものなんです」
[2nd Division Barracks, Captain's Office]
Words could not describe how happy she was to finally drift to sleep. But, just as soon as she slipped into it, a sudden sound burst her out of her comfort zone. Jolting her head up, as her instincts kicked in, she quickly began scanning the room quickly for the origin, before finding Tsukiko, balled up on the ground. She was sure when she fell asleep, Tsukiko was in the Labs, what was she doing here? The few words Tsukiko spoke could only sell out her reasons, and Nu simply sighed, the brief lapse into rest energized her, if only a little.
"Coming right up Tsukiko-san."
Stepping over the small child, she returns Senka to her small crib before heading towards her small kitchen. While she didn't have the time to cook Tsukiko the hearty meal as she wanted, she was sure there had to be some leftovers from lunch hours beforehand. Since the room was moderately lit, the bright flash of the refrigerator illuminated the room for brief monets as Nu searched the contents of her fridge for something Tsukiko could eat. Finding nothing then the majority of omurice that Nu had not finished due to her lack of sleep, she reached in and pulled out the cold dish, her free hand already moving to open the microwave. Popping the dish in, she makes sure to remove the plastic covering the preserved rice before starting the machine, the wait was going to take roughly five minutes.
Taking the time to step out of the kitchen and back to where the girl hadn't moved, she crouched down as the smell of eggs and rice filled the air. "Dinner's almost ready Tsukiko-san, though I admit, I was going to deliver this to you soon in the Labs....." With a small chuckle, she gently pats the girl's head. "Its nice to see you out of there once in a while, should I start a bath as well?" Usually when the few times Tsukiko comes out, she usually forgets to manage her appearance, though Nu presently could not say much, as she needed some basic cleaning as well. Still, two ladies such as themselves should look presentable whenever they can. However, just as the microwave chimed in its accomplishment, her door opened for Hideki to walk in. Upon closer inspection, the captain seemed to have jusy gotten out of a fight, cinder marks on his clothes suggested explosives. "Hideki, what is it? Not like you to visit..." As he listened to the man, Nu was shocked that she hasn't heard anything so far. True, she has had a few complaints of a creature in the streets at night, but she had simply wrote it off as a childish rumour, since there hasn't been any attacks. "This is my first time hearing about these things, but I suppose now I can write them as hostile...." A deep sigh escaped her, her day was becoming much more pleasant till these damn things shown up. "Seems you were in a battle with them, learn anything that could help? The more information the better." She preffered not to go into fights blind and as she was heading towards the microwave to pick up Tsukiko's dinner with her prosthetic, which ignored its heat, she picked up her haori thrown lazily on her coach. Slipping the garment on and dropping the plate to Tsukiko's side with a spoon, she could tell that it was going to be a long day. It made itself more evident by the third person to show up in her office in such a short amount of time, this time a messenger to Hideki and herself. Apparently, on the orders of Yuki's zanpakutou spirit, which has taken a more active role as Yuki has shown no better chances of waking up, has ordered the two of them to bring the young ones to Yuki's office. She could only assume she meant Tsukiko as well, more then likely to protect her and the other young ones from around Soul Society.

 woah! HELLO !
whats new? my name is...
...i cant remember...｢ Tsukiko ｣ ●●● "ℒux ex tenebris." ●●●
★ 1542 ★ [2nd Division, Nu's Office]
Tsukiko remained on the floor, even when Nu put Senka in her crib and moved to tend to Tsukiko's request. In Tsukiko's mind, the fact that she did it so willingly, even after she had neglected to say 'please' was odd in itself. Although it was certainly unusual for something for Hei to preach, her parents were all about manners, be they honorifics or proper etiquette, and they would chastise her lack of manners no matter the situation. For that matter, she certainly wouldn't get what she wanted until she was polite, so Nu no even trying to get a 'please' out of her was enough to make her question the reality of it all. Alas, this was not her house, and Nu was not her mother, so such a thing was pointless to worry about. Eventually Tsukiko pulled herself from her curled-up position on Nu's floor and pushed her upper body off the floor, resulting in a twist in her body. Exhaling the yawn that was threatening to erupt from her throat, Tsukiko shifted her weight onto on one had and wiped the tear from the yawn from the corner of her eye with her sleeve, training her gaze on Nu as she moved around the kitchen. After silently hopping to her feet, she unconsciously used the stealth that got her past the night watch in her daddy's estate to pad across the floor and reach Senk'a crib in a matter of seconds. The child peered through the gaps in the crib's bars at her younger sister who was too busy gumming the ears of one of her stuffed to take notice of the small smile Tsukiko managed to muster in her direction.
For a brief moment, Tsukiko watched the infant freely explore the stuffed animal with her toothless gums while she recalled how she had first "met" her younger sister all those months ago inside the Ugendou. At the time she had been not-so-accepting of Senka, even going so far as to be jealous of her, but now things were quite different; she loved her. Now feeling like cradling the infant in her arms, Tsukiko stood on her tiptoes in order to get over the crib's railing, finding that doing so was just outside of her height range. With quite a bit of difficulty, Tsukiko pulled herself up to the crib's railing until her chin was hooked over it and she was suspended in the air, dangling freely. A few seconds of struggling to get over later, she finally gave up and dropped softly to the floor and began to contemplate how she may go about solving her problem. An idea hit her, and without considering the consequences, she stuck her hand into the crib and touched Senka's arm to transfer Chimeikyūshū's Mujūryō to the infant, instantly causing her to become weightless, an event that made her start to giggle happily. Her plan was to push the girl up above the railing with a small tap to her back, push the crub out from under her, and then release the weightlessness and catch Senka in her arms. It was not exactly her brightest of ideas, but it would have gone fine without a problem. However, Nu took that moment to make a noise in the kitchen that caused her to abandon her attempt, release the weightlessness and let Senka fall the half inch into the crib and then use a quiet Shunpo to return to her place on the floor. Without hesitating, she assumed her prior position and mood before Nu turned around to see anything different. It wasn't entirely clear why she was hiding the fact that she was in a better mood, but Nu was fooled regardless.
Nu's offer to run her a bath was quickly refused; Tsukiko waved the back of her hand demurely in her direction and let out a grunt in response. Baths were not one of her more loved things, at least not when her mother wasn't around to make it fun. Tsukiko quickly returned to her brooding aura, giving off the impression she didn't want to be bothered, at least until Hideki walked into the room. Uchrio Hideki, her former Lieutenant and 3rd Seat, now the captain of the 13th Division; she had not spoken to him in a while, whether it was because of her attitude or not was unclear. Whatever the case, some found him interesting while Tsukiko found him to be weird, which as everyone knew, made him a target for her curiosity. "Ohayossu." She said, slurring her words which clearly relayed her lack of concern for how she appeared to others. On top of that, she used the wrong term, but again, it was not something she would be concerning herself with, ever. She had planned to simply lie still while listening to their conversation, but she would not get that luxury as the topic was interesting, and he had also chosen to directly speak to her. groggily, she flipped herself over and sat up, taking a hold of the desk's legs with her concealed hands and rested her head against the desk. "Not really..." She would never admit it, but she was curious as to what he was talking about, but she could still honestly say she had no idea what was going on terms of these "fiends." If there were intruders in the Seireitei that she was unaware of, it meant the scanning team had either failed to detect them or they had been unable to locate her after she ran off. Tsukiko was disinclined to believe her division had failed it's duties, so she assumed the latter. She moved her right hand to her wheat-colored hair, toying with it and wrapping it around her finger absentmindedly as she stared at Hideki in dead silence, acting as though he held some kind of answer, but only giving him a look void of expression. Their "staring contest" was interrupted shortly thereafter by a random giggle from her baby sister, the sound nearly causing her to jump out of her skin in surprise. The infant's good mood seemed to flow into her, cheering her up enough that she rose to her feet and padded into the kitchen. Once there, she pulled a foot stool in front of the microwave and climbed on top of it to reach the machine.
[2nd Division, Nu's Office, doorway]
To some, the food in the container vanished, to others, it was inhaled by a 98 lb girl with the appetite of a fully grown man. No matter the case, the food was in her belly in the time it took for Rei's messenger to speak to them, and seconds later, Tsukiko was already traversing the room, her head bobbing up and down as she neared the door. Just as soon as she did so did she let out a loud belch, scratch her stomach and exit the office in a timely manner, making her come face to face with one of these creatures. Whether it was her mood or not, Tsukiko looked rather bored with the creature, and cast it a look that said so. She didn't allow it to take a step towards her before her hand was already touching Chimeikyūshū's saya, at which point she activated Shikai to transform the katana into a rather plain-looking black rod that she flipped over in her hand before extending her left and creating a powerful attraction field of gravity that pulled the creature right towards her. She needed only to extend her Shikai weapon to impale the creature on it, a relatively simple task by all means and nothing she was going to brag about either. As soon as the rod was stabbed into the creature's body, it's internal energy began to go haywire, stopping it from reversing the damage it had sustained and stoppin it from struggling. This was what she was going for as she had no idea it could heal itself. With a simple flick of her wrist, Tsukiko tossed the creature and the rod a few yards away and followed it, finally leaving the door way.
[2nd Division, Outside Nu's Office]
With her back still facing the door, Tsukiko allowed her sclera to go black and her irides to go yellow as she allowed her hollow powers to surface. From beneath the bandages covering the patch of white skin on her right arm, a white tendril snaked out of her sleeve and buried itself in the creature, and began to record everything about it, sans it's thoughts and memories. Its DNA, cellular structure, muscular systems, genetic makeup and the like were all recorded by the tendril, which went purple, and then retracted into her arm once more where it could remain dormant for a while before she could analyze it at the lab. Now more casually than ever, she strode up to the creature, which was huddle on the ground, her weapon still stuck inside it's stomach, and knelt next to it to pace her hand on it's red mask. "Tell me your secrets, weird one." Instantly she was flung into this' creature's memories and bore witness to numerous images of it slinking around the Seireitei at night and hiding out during the day. For a moment she was silent as she navigated its relatively empty head, taking note of the fact that it seemed to possess some level of coherent thought, but not much more than amount needed for survival. Suddenly, her eyes snapped open and she jerked her hand away from it's body, standing up in disbelief. She looked to her side, towards the doorway that she knew Nu and Hideki had come from. "Something big is coming..." Her upper lip twitched in annoyance and in a flash, she buried her foot in it's neck, lifting it up into the air and kicking it clear over a building in the vicinity, but taking care to pull her weapon from it's body with a carefully placed field of attraction gravity. The weapon landed back in her hand and collapsed down to an inch in length, after which Tsukiko stuffed it into her sleeve without sealing it, but did make her hollow powers go to sleep, so to speak. At this point, she thought it prudent to research what she had found, and would do so as soon as she assured Senka's safety.

Hibiki Kirisho
- Squad Nine Captain - ================================================  The gods trembled
The demons flockedLeaping through the streets, Hibiki dashed towards the 5th Squad’s barracks, utilizing shunpo to cross lengthy distances such as ponds and houses. All around the captain could see the lower seats running across the streets, their zanpakutos at their side and torches in their hands. Whatever the creatures were, they picked a bad time to invade. The afterhour’s streets of Seiretei were never properly lit, only having a handful of torches per street. The addition of torches allowed for a significant increase in their range of vision, but it would also make it more difficult to find the creatures, as they were more likely to avoid them instead of confronting, at least that were what Hibiki thought seeing as how the few reports concerning the creatures depicted them as being simple-minded.
Nearing the 5th Squad compound, Hibiki noticed a commotion in the nearby clearing, just in front of the 5th Squad’s barracks. Landing on the ground, Hibiki saw that a group of lower seats were engaging one of the creatures. Immediately his hand reached out to draw his zanpakuto, but before he could do so, the shinigami charged towards the creature, swarming it from all directions ”Wait!” Hibiki yelled out, but it was too late as the creature suddenly detonated itself, sending the shinigami flying towards all directions, most of them sustaining heavy injuries. His blade now fully drawn, Hibiki squinted his eyes as the smoke cleared, biting his lip as two creatures now stood where the previous one was ”So they can detonate at will to multiply themselves. Guess I’ll have to weaken them first before binding them.” with that Hibiki dashed towards the duo, executing a shunpo to position himself directly in between them. Immediately, he snapped a kick towards the one on his right, kicking it away from him as he swung his sword towards the other one from the front. As expected, the creature caught it, allowing Hibiki to let go of the handle to deliver a powerful punch aimed at the creature gut, if it had any, followed by an uppercut powerful enough to lift the creature up a few inches. Turning around Hibiki was met by a sudden attack by the first one. Acting quickly Hibiki used the torque in his turn to launch a sweeping kick at the creatures abdomen, holding back to prevent too much damage from occurring at once. Deciding that his attacks were enough, Hibiki sent a nose-crunching elbow towards the second one’s face before tossing him towards its partner ”Bakudo #9: Horin” the captain muttered as two orange tendrils sparked out from his hands, each of them targeting one of the two creatures, before Hibiki connected the two bindings into one.
”Call Captain Lee, tell him Captain Kirisho requests his aid.” Hibiki spoke, addressing any of the nearby lower seats. Because of the fact that he didn’t specifically address anyone, the shinigami spent a few minutes looking at each other to determine who, exactly, the captain was talking to. Irked by such incompetence Hibiki tightened his glare and bared his teeth a bit, pointing towards a random shinigami Hibiki restated his order ”You! Go to Captain Lee and bring him here, now!” with that the man scampered off towards Lee’s office while Hibiki continued to watch over the two creatures.

 Sakura Yamamoto C aptain - S quad 8
[2nd Division Barracks, Captain's Office]
Sakura stood outside of the second division for a few minutes hidden within the shadows, though she had her Bankai activated she had a rather low spiritual pressure and she was able to suppress that and become virtually invisible within the shadows. She waited until after someone else had entered the office before she de-activated her Bankai, returning to her normal outfit. She stepped out of the shadows and entered Nu's office. "Hello Nu, Hideki, Tsukiko and the little one." She smiled even though the situation that the Serieti was currently in was more than enough reason to wear a grave expression. However no sooner than she entered Tsukiko was headed towards the door, letting out a loud belch and scratching her stomach.
Sakura sighed at the girls manners, however as soon as she went to the door way she saw that Tsukiko was face to face with one of the creatures. She also knew that Tsukiko was by no means incapable of fighting the creature and likely avoiding all damage that it could deal. So without a second thought she turned away from the fight to face Nu and Hideki. "I'm assuming your fight involved the creature detonating itself, and from the explosion replicating, as well as repairing any and all damage you caused?" She already knew what his answer would be and as such she sighed. "This really dosen't look good for us."

__[1,330]__⌠ H i d e k i < ⌂ 朱 出 来 […] 得 血 ろ ⌂ > U c h i r o ⌡ ▬▬▐ J ŭsanB a ntai Taichō Feeling:W o r r i e d "Truth is simply a conception..." [2nd Division - Captain's "Nu's" Quarters]
Hideki smiled at the slurred greeting Tsukiko gave out. It was not so much as a nice gesture as it was an understanding one. He was not entirely used to such a young Tsukiko, being more accustomed to the former, more composed one. After smiling, he returned his gaze to Nu, who had asked about attaining any information at all about the creatures. He had not entirely noticed that food had been brought out until this moment either. He had not been entirely paying attention and the smell finally caught his nose. It smelled rather nice, something of a simple dish, but before he could really register that by seeing it, the food was gone as soon as it was placed down. Hideki was surprised by the vigor in which Tsukiko ate. It was eerily creepy that a young girl could eat like that. He brushed it off, however, and soon focused on what he came here for.
“The creatures are very odd things. They are easy to point out, white and hollow looking. They are, however, quite mindless. They do not act with a mind made to do anything specific. I can assume that they have something of a type of spacial power, as when I found my fiend, he was in my quarters, the wall warped and distorted where it had walked through. They don’t fight back, aside from exploding…” Hideki moved past Nu and to the balcony taking a deep breath, subconsciously fiddling with the sleeve of his Haori, still worried about Anya. Around this time, he had heard shuffling outside via Tsukiko and the entrance of Sakura. When she put in her two cents, Hideki sighed. “Yes, that was my next point. When they explode, they not only reform as if nothing happened to them, but they duplicate. When one explodes, two return. I know that there must be more, now that not only I have fought one. If fighting them continues, they will duplicate like bacteria, and in a few days there will be hundred, if not thousands. Hideki turned and looked towards Nu and Sakura. “I can only imagine what would happen at that point…”
Hideki started walking towards the door, his mind now focused on the message given out by Rei. He was sure she was speaking of Senka and Anya, and maybe Tsukiko. Tsukiko could defend herself though, so he ruled her out, but he would check on her as he walked out, to be sure. Placing his hands into his Hakama, Hideki craned his neck back to look back at Nu and Sakura. “I am sorry to leave you so soon, as Yamamoto-taichō got here, but I must go get Anya-chan. Poor thing has probably woken up by now. I’ll be sure to see you at the Hospital, though. Konbanwa.” Nodding at both Nu and Sakura, Hideki moved past the door way.
[Outside 2nd Division]
After stepping outside, he found Tsukiko. She seemed like something was bothering her, or she was focused on something. That is what her face emulated to Hideki, at least. Stepping closer, Hideki spoke, “Tsukiko-san, I heard something going on out here while on the balcony. You seem fine physically, but I hope nothing incredibly horrid happened. I need to go grab Anya-chan. Feel free to follow or stay with Nu to take Senka to your mother’s hospital room. I’m sure you’ll let everyone know if something happened.” Hideki nodded to her and pat her shoulder reassuringly before executing a quick and quiet shunpo out to the wall that separated the 12th from the 2nd.
[12th Division]
As he dropped down he ran through the 12th division quickly, sliding around corners and other such obstacles with ease. Just as he was approaching the opening towards the 13th division, two creatures began ambling their way toward him. Hideki slid to a stop and skewed his face. He did not want to deal with these things right now, but if he didn’t, they would make their way closer towards Senka and Tsukiko. Hideki slipped Datenshi from its deep black saya, releasing into Shikai, creating two blades and darting forward. As he neared the two creatures, he threw both blades into their bodies. They were thrown back from the force behind the impalement, but as the flew back, Hideki had made his way in between them and put forth his hands and called Datenshi to him. As the blades flew back to their master, the creature came as part of the package, part of his plan. Grasping their Tsuka, he swung the two in front of him, bringing the two creatures together in front of him as well. Executing a shunpo high into the air, Hideki threw them well away from the area, more towards the 3rd Division, as no one held position there. There might have been some foot Shinigami, but they were not as important as Anya was. Callous and selfish, but Hideki cared less over the ideal and continued into the 13th Division.
[13th Division - Captain's Quarters]
Releasing his Bakudo over the Division, it came back into vision like a mirage appearing in the heat waves of a desert. He executed a precise shunpo to arrive at the gaping hole in his quarter’s wall. He released the Bakudo that concealed the little Anya on the bed and smiled to see she was still asleep. Moving over to his closet he made a makeshift hammock that he would carry her in, so as to keep her asleep and comfortable. Hideki slipped the loop of cloth over his right shoulder and moved over to the bed, gently lifting the small child into the larger, deeper, and safer part of the hammock. He placed his left hand under her and turned to exit. “Let’s go Anya-chan.” Keeping his hold on the little one he ran out into the small courtyard near his division and made his way down the main road leading north to get back down to the hospital.
[4th Division - Approaching outside of the Sōgō Kyūgo Tsumesho]
While on the main road, Hideki simply walked, seeing no reason to run. He did not want to introduce any more movement that could disrupt Anya’s sleep. He realized this as he ran out of the division and she nearly did wake up. With this was how wide the main road was. He could see if anything were coming quite easily, thus he was not worried in any case that something may happen while he walked to the 4th. If it did, he would deal with it, if not, the better the walk was. When he neared the 4th Division, he noticed that there was a creature here as well. Rei was fighting it, fitting enough as he could tell the footmen of the 4th were both terrified and not hardened enough to fight it without panicking over its regeneration. As he swiftly made it past the creature, Hideki moved next to Rei. “I’ll be back down after I set Anya in Yuki’s room.”
Hideki picked up his pace as he entered and motioned for one of the 4th’s medical staff to take him to Yuki’s room, as he was completely unaware that he had been near it for the longest time. When he entered, the room was quite. It had a melancholy type of mood about it, but he motioned for some blankets and softly placed Anya in the play pin in the room. Moving a blanket over her petit body, Hideki kissed her forehead, “Aishiteru, Anya.” He stood and looked towards Yuki’s bed, focusing on her face. He made a soft bow and a small prayer for a swift recovery and sprinted out of the room, telling the medical staff to stay at the door. Hideki bolted down the ground floor and rejoined Rei, his hand resting on the Kashiri of Datenshi. “I’m going to leave the directions up to you, Rei-san. What would you like me to do?” Hideki was focused forwardly, keeping an eye on the creature that was making its way back towards them.

Likewise, in an area not too far from the 1st Division, there was a throng of about seven creatures standing in a circle, seemingly entranced by whatever it was they were doing. Suddenly, the space around the creatures began distorting, bending as though it were being hit by a full-powered Kurohitsugi. The air became mist-like in quality and began to change colors as a verticle hole opened up in the middle of the creature's formation, quite similarly to a garganta. However, instead of ripping open like a zipper, it started out as a shapeless blob that expanded while its edges changed shape multiple times, soon becoming a sphere. As soon as the hole grew to it's fullest size, roughly ten feet across the middle, it quickly shifted from pitch black to showing the inside of a dark forest. It was the Menos Forest, to be exact, and this was made quite clear by the fact that several Gillian could be seen far in the distance among the silvery-quartz trees, swaying in place and feeding on each other to continue their evolutionary chain.
In an area between the 5th and 8th Division, and in a separate area between the 1st and 11th Divisions as well as an area in the Hakase Estate, the population of these creatures was denser than normal, yet they remained spread apart. However, instead of making any holes to Hueco Mundo or making buildings vanish like their brethren, their presence there suddenly began to degrade the ppasge of time itself until it came to a full halt insode those two areas. Aside from creatures themselves, everything within the areas was frozen in time. People were stopped in their tracks while in mid-step, water droplets were frozen in mid air after splashing up from the ground; everything was still. Seconds later, the creatures filtered out from the area, appearing to be done with what they were doing, and continued to wander aimless around the Seireitei like they were waiting for something or biding their time.

My left hand is life. __________________________________❤ | _ My eyes are madness..." It was just after the lower seats had left to fulfill her request that the creature had gotten back to its feet like it was nothing, and meanwhile it's brethren were starting to bear down on her for an attack. Her focus, however, was extended to Kougji's conversation with Kazuhiko due to the fact he held information she was looking for. Once she heard him say they were able to explode and duplicate themselves after healing completely, she cringed. Having watched from inside Yuki's soul at the time, she remembered what it was like to face Zenos, who had regenerative powers the likes of which she had never seen. It was safe to say he was immortal, and if the creatures could explode and fully repair themselves, then they had regenerative powers very close to, of not better than Zenos' own. That was going to be a problem, and she deduced on her own that attacking them was not an option, making a mental note not to get carried away. She finally then noticed the creatures, having been quite still and oblivious prior to it, when someone shouted out her name to pay attention. Rei quickly switched to defensive maneuvers, summoning six thin but wide "panels" of water that were identical in shape to a Rikujōkōrō, that she quickly directed to sink into the body of the nearest creature, all without moving.
Naturally, not being a Shinigami meant she couldn't physically learn Kido, but some 600 years of watching Yuki allowed her to emulate their construct using the elements under her control to a certain degree. Unfortunately, her version of Rikujōkōrō didn't have the same properties, so it couldn't hold them in place. Fortunately, however, she could freeze them, which she did by manipulating the temperature of the water, dropping it well below 0°F. The panels froze, spreading their effect across the creature's body and rooting him to the ground with ice. As for the other two, they were dealt with swiftly with similar Kido constructs; a Hyapporankan consistent of staves of lightning that surrounded the creature and anchored themselves to it electromagnetically, and a Sajō Sabaku consisting of ropes of solidified air that locked it in place. Now all that was left on her end was the creature she had knocked away, which was now trying to come after her. Hideki took that moment to show up and talk to her about taking Anya to Yuki's room like she had asked, a statement to which she merely nodded. Thinking this creature was the only one left in the area for the moment, Rei began to take stride towards it, then came to a full halt as she got near enough, creating a ring on the ground around it that suddenly erupted into a pillar of flame, trapping it within.
Shortly thereafter, Hideki returned, asking what it is she wanted him to do. Quite frankly, she didn't have an answer past finding them all and binding them, and was prepared to convey this when she heard a terribly loud noise, one similar to metal being literally pulled apart. It attracted her attention because it was so close by, and she immediately darted off in that direction, rounding the hospital just in time to watch a cylindrical building vanish from sight and five of the creatures start to wander away from the gaping hole left behind. In mid step, Rei effortlessly summoned a large wave of water that flowed right past them, seemingly in an attempt to drown them, but suddenly hardened to the point of being solid without actually freezing. "Son of a..." Rei pulled an exasperated face, running her hand through her hair as she stopped at the edge of the hole, taking in the sight of the hole itself and the wires and plumbing that were left behind. At first it was like they were dealing with a bunch of mini Zenos' or something, but even Zenos couldn't make buildings disappear arbitrarily. Frankly, she didn't know what to do now, this was no longer some idle threat. Quickly she turned Kitsune Jimoku back on, scanning the Seireitei to confirm her fears. All across the Seireitei, buildings were vanishing as these creatures huddled around them in groups of four or five, sometimes six. Likewise, more and more of these creatures were showing up out of the blue. If that weren't all, she could see three places in the Seireitei that had people frozen as if in Suspended Animation, and to top it all off, there was some kind of weird gate near the 1st Division. Cancelling her Jimoku, she turned to see if Hideki was behind her, which he was. In all honesty, she wasn't sure how to handle this one, it was beyond her scope of understanding; she needed Hei, but he was indisposed as of late, so her only option was Tsukiko. However, she couldn't go to her. "Go to the 1st Division and inspect the hole there, and then go find Tsukiko and explain everything to her immediately!" As much as she wanted to go somewhere and help, she could not. Not only did she have Yuki to look after, but now Anya and soon Senka. {873}

Hideki smirked as he looked at the creatures that Rei had bound with makeshift kidō. She really was a most talented spirit. She seemed to be lost in her thought at his question. She glanced at him before both of their attentions were broken by an incredibly distasteful noise on the opposite side of the hospital. Rei immediately bolted off toward the area that the sound emanated from. It sounded as if metal was being ripped apart, a high pitched squeal from an inanimate object. Hideki followed suit, however, just behind Rei. When they rounded the complex, Hideki witnessed a fearful sight. The cylindrical building that once was there we ripped from the ground and wholly wiped from existence. Hideki’s eyes grew wide for a moment, as Rei kept the fiends in place. Hideki could only think of the possibility of that being the Hospital and not the next building over, which caused a sense of dread to fall over him.
[1st Division - Sōgyoku Hill]
When Rei finally gave a direction to Hideki, after figuring a few things out herself, Hideki nodded to her and turned on point, executing a shunpō to exit the immediate area. The ichibantai was southwest from the 4th division and would not take long to get to at all. Hideki arrived, first, on the overhanging cliff of Sōgyoku Hill. He noticed a building here had also been taken, only noted by the remaining plumbing. It was an odd thing to Hideki, that they make an entire building vanish, but leave the plumbing behind. It was almost as if they were lazy are to daft to grasp the entire build from just its outward look. Nevertheless, Hideki stayed to his mission and turned his head to the northwest of where he was standing and saw what seemed to be, from the distance he was at, a small black marble in the courtyard of the ichibantai. Tilting his head, Hideki stepped off from the Hill and flickered out of sight as he executed another Shunpō to get closer. He was atop one of the Senzaiky at this point, and was staring down a congregation of the creatures. There were seven that seemed to be affixed to the large orb in front of them. “It’s like they’re in a cult. Freaks…”
[1st Division - Senzaikyū & Courtyard]
Lifting his right hand above his head, Hideki spoke the chant for Hyapporankan and allowed the singular pole to form in his hand. Grasping it, he threw it down towards the group. At the halfway point, the pole flashed and duplicated itself into one hundred poles and impaled all 7 of the fiends into the ground with ease, keeping their weak physical bodies pinned to the ground. Brushing his nose out of pure cockiness, Hideki jumped down to the courtyard, landing with the ease of a cat. He was around 15 feet from the orb and the squirming white bodies, all trying to relinquish their bindings. From this distance, it was easy for Hideki to make out the Menos Forest that was shown within the orb, that was huge already. Being 10 feet in diameter made it incredibly imposing as Hideki stepped forward. Hideki figured it was a stupid idea, but he lifted his left hand and pointed his index finger towards the orb and pushed it into it. Though some sort of pain or shock was expected, Hideki received an incredibly jolt of pain accompanied by his finger being completely removed from existence.
Hideki stumbled backwards slightly and lifted his left hand to his face, staring blankly at the missing finger, a cold sweat on his temple. “Well, that’s not good at t’all…” Wasting no time, Hideki bolted towards the last place Tsukiko was at: Nu’s Office. With the hop of a wall, Hideki was already there, encroaching on Tsukiko’s position with the fierceness of a cheetah. When he arrived, he skid to a stop. “Tsukiko-san. Rei-san asked for me to report my findings with you so you could figure out just exactly what was going on for her. I fear its nothing short of terrible. I noticed buildings missing before I was sent to investigate a happening at the Ichibantai, which is nothing short of disastrous. The fiends, they can create not just a portal, but a tear in the dimensions. I only know this before when I touched it, instead of going over to Hueco Mundo, which it projected within it, my finger was utterly destroyed. I saw strange area’s while on Sōkyoku Hill as well, but I’ve no information on those. Rei would like you to figure something out with all this information. If you wish to speak with her, she is at the 4th Division Hospital.” Hideki was almost winded from his long monologue of information. When he was done, however, he waited for a response from Tsukiko to see if she needed anything before he returned to help Rei protect Tsukiko’s mother and the children.

_________________________________________ Rinkotsu Shinnō_________________________ 3rd Division Lieutenant _____________________________________ _______ 
Rinkotsu threw a fit suddenly as he woke up, sweating and shivering all at once. Drool was all down the side of his desk, obviously he had fallen asleep, but he couldn't for the life of him remember the dream he just had, it must have been quite amusing though, he figured that much. Rubbing his hair and rolling his head to the back and then to the front in order to make himself feel more alive, he stood, peered to the window and observed how late it was. He only placed either hand on his hips and stretched back lazily. His captain had recently mysteriously vanished and he was left with the burden of overlooking any and all events that took place in or around the third division, and he, after all, was only a newly appointed Lieutenant, what a bother for him to be stuck with such painful responsibilities so soon into his new position, a pain, that was all he thought of the entire affair. Not bothering to check his work over, he simply filed what he at least knew was done and headed towards the door, tripping once on a floor board that seemed to suddenly be sticking up, it surprised him, but, with how late it was currently, it wouldn't be appropriate to start doing construction at this late hour. Flicking off the small light in his office, he opened the door, leaving his office, and shutting the door in an unusually gentle manner. He paced himself, his room was after all only a small ways from his office, easy walking distance and convenience, he was in his splendour, save the fact that he was technically acting captain, he shrugged it off again as the thought re-entered his tired mind. He dragged a hand over his face as he approached his door. "I'll just let the hot bath carr-"
[Left Office - Nearing Personal Residence - 3rd Division]
A sudden crack came from his right, turning, an unusual creature rushed him, he was caught by surprise of course and didn't have time to draw his weapon, it swooped him up into it's strange arms and held him tightly, either arm caught in the grip, preventing him from moving. "Damn." He uttered with a strain, the creatures grip was tight. As it neared a building, Rinkotsu only watched in terror as he was soon slamming into the stone wall, followed by an explosion, either event sent him flying backwards, he was in rough shape. As the smoke cleared he was coughing heavily, trying to stand on lost energy, only will power to stay alive aided him. "What, what was that?" Spitting out in a cough at the ground, not able to raise his head due to being complete disoriented and sore. Finally wobbling to his feet, he drew his sword, though, lacking the strength to hold it, the tip quickly dropped to the ground. Soon, from behind the menacing look of the smoke and debris, two figures appeared, and as they walked through, he saw that there were two of them now,he had no idea what was happening, and he surmised that staying here would only get him one answer, death, with whatever strength he could muster up, he fled, bolting backwards in an attempt to escape, they didn't seem to follow. Now near the fifth division, he collapsed on a wall, falling down to the ground, he had been hit hard and he wasn't sure how much further he could make it, sensing a strong presence nearby, he hoped to try and get some help, but as he stood, his strength finally failed him and he went unconscious, the strain his body had taken was too much.
