&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&What's a king to a God?
Dirge, or rather what always knew him as, Isoroku--had arrived at the summit. But judging by his half sleepy appearance, he had probably took his time again. At any rate, he was able to spot most of where his squad members were gathered. And from their positions he garnered that his seat should be somewhere between Miyabi and his relatives Alycia and Shu. Now that he thought about it, he hadn't really realized how much his little brat cousin has grown, despite being the third seat for several centuries now. It warmed his heart somewhat, for the young girl to now have the appearance of an authoritative leader.
"Good day, ladies." He would greet, just as he walked behind their chairs to then settle into his own seat adjacent to Miyabi's. Some centuries back, the notion of sexism didn't even exist in his head, for it was unheard of for women to achieve important ranks. Now, his squad was mostly dominated by capable women and he had the look of someone pleased. Despite having the personality of a jackal, he refrained from his urges to smoke. After all, this was a rare summit where he was also in the presences of many other Captains, Lieutenants, and their officers. As he sat, he looked about the room. He already knew a handful of them, given his age but then many more were new to his eyes. He also noticed that their Captain was not seen here. "Huh?" His tone of interest had dragged out just a bit. Being the bird of tropical color he was, Dirge enjoyed a bit of trollery every now and then. With a rather brilliantly bright smile, he shifted his gaze to his co-lieutenants. "Oh dear~ You both have grown so wonderfully since the last I've seen you~ Shu-chan.." His voice suddenly lowered into that of melodramatic authority because then he immediately produced a vintage picture of his cousin when she was still very small. He seemed to be crying very happy tears, while acting like that creep. "Yeah..I remember those days. You used to follow me around like a baby chick to her mother Hen. Kgghhk...." Suddenly began to tear up at the end at the lovely memories. Quickly he hugged Alycia's arm for comfort. "Oh...those days are long gone...when I think about I just....khghgh.....uhhhuh...sniff.." For those who knew of him, or at least gotten used to him, they would familiarize Dirge or Isoroku as that one odd relative. Or rather he was that one saucy relative to enjoy difficult environments.
At any rate, he was more or less aware of the topic at hand. Just kidding, he knew nothing. Flapping a fan out, he started to fan himself to look serious after releasing poor Alycia. Already bored of his jokes, he proceeded to at least act like the veteran officer he was. "I don't really get it. They speak of 'crisis' and complications. What do either of you lovely officers think in regards to this family gathering?" He asked, a tone half serious and half light-hearted to his fellow officers within his squad. He only asked not because of his actual concern but simply for conversation's sake.

⇨Evidently her bout of giddiness had directed her attention away from the food. When Anya finally did notice it, she partook in some of the sushi before returning to her little bubble of thought. After a bit, Kokoro told her that it'd be tomorrow she'd want it and that Anya should talk to Amaranth. It was not as though the feline had anyone else in mind. She nodded her understanding.
Tugging at her hair, Anya thought of Amaranth, and then of the young lad whose name she'd already forgotten. He wanted to see her, but there was a meeting, Kokoro wanted them to be at. While it was true the Gotei 13, Kokoro included, and the Central 46 had no control over her actions or the actions of any of her colleagues, Anya had no reason to refuse. It was quiet in the Soul King's Palace after all; if there was commotion, she would certainly know about it. Anyone who thought Anya hadn't scattered various seals and barrier membranes across that dimension was underestimating her severely.
When Kokoro was gone, Anya finally rose."Going ahead then, Kono."Wordlessly, Anya initiated Awatsukai's Shikai state with a simple movement of her hand; the sword dispersed as energy and reformed around her arm as a gauntlet. A bubble appeared around her and subsequently shrank as she reverted to her true state. Once she was settled at the bottom of the bubble, it lifted up and carried her out of the window and through the air outside. It may have seemed unnecessary to some, but it had a purpose. As it turned out, lazing about in her true form allowed Anya her best thinking.
~~~~
To that end, while the bubble floated towards the Royal Council Room, Anya rolled onto her back and stared at the sky, organizing her thoughts. Spell words were pulled out of thin air and arranged, movements and criteria were thought up and put into place, and anything deemed unnecessary was discarded. She had a vague understanding of this new Kido by the time she arrived. Upon entering, Anya returned to her humanoid state, dispelled the bubble and took a seat. Basic instinct guided her to the seat with the best vantage point; where she could see the most.
State:Sheathed || Mood:Pensive || Location:Royal Council Room || Company:Gotei 13
Looking back at a few feet were she was at, Elysia felt a low ranked spell being cast towards her, however missed her. Turning her head toward who might have wanted to get her attention, her eyes landed on Sasuke, other known as her uncle. Softly letting her head shake, Elysia chuckled as she waved her hand slowly towards him. She really never talked to him or even got to know him at all. Over all though what she knew, he was a rather interesting Uncle indeed.
Softly sighing to her self, Elysia softly smiled as she looked around to see more people entering and others talking among themselves as they all waited for the meeting to start as everyone arrived.

Lol you missed xD Elysia was already sitting down xD
Sasake smirked and nodded back at his niece and noticed Isotoku enter. Somehow he thought they were related, but the guy was an odd ball so he had never bothered to get to know him. He nodded as Yoko helped Sumai to her area and as Yoko returned he whispered over to her" Remember that Kido release I have been working on for years? I finally got it, I'll show you if you want after the summit assuming we don't go to war exactly right after this summit."

Looking around, she noticed that the others started to slowly arrive at the meeting, as people for the most part seemed lost or clueless as to why the meeting was being called for. Shu simply sighed, as she could only imagine this meeting was being called for one simple fact. War. It seemed reasonable to Shu that war would be called especially after recent events in the Soul Society, especially after the abduction of both Nocella but Atsuhiko as well.
It angered the majority, if not the entire Eleventh Division having their leader gone thanks to a nemesis that many of them were ignorant of, and as a result, made them far more unpleasant than usual. Sighing, she brushed that thought away, as her attention was drawn over to her good ol' friend Samui and her cousin Elysia. "Oh hey there you two!" Lightly smiling, Shu was pretty good mood now after seeing her good old friend over here at the meeting. Looking over to hope that no one was nearby, Shu looked at Samui and whispered to her quietly the following.
"Seems like Commander Tennyou is going to call a war on the Time Rogues today. Let's just hope we aren't involved directly in this war in the slightest." Shu then backed up a bit as she noticed the arrival of another Hiroshi, Dirge. "Oh hey there Dirge. I've seen you look the same as usual now, eh?" Chuckling, Shu poked fun at his age, considering that he was practically as old as her own father, who for that matter still hadn't arrived to the meeting yet. "Strange... Where the hell could he be?"
Sighing, she then listened to Dirge's question and didn't hesitate to answer. "We were attacked Dirge. Mind you, two Captain level shinigami were kidnapped, and more importantly, they were able to get us off guard and win the first round. It's pretty obvious to me why we're being called here for this summit. I'd imagine it would have been pretty obvious to you as well be now."

Yoko smiled brightly at Sasake as as he spoke, knowing he must have been feeling so acomplished. Oh goody! Im proud of you Sas-kun. And sure, I wouldnt mind learning it. That is if my small self doesnt go to war. she replied calmly. Despite the eagerness in her tone and posture, Yoko was a little concerned. Knowing she was one of those with many disadvantages on her if they go to war. She was small, so defense wasnt the best path for her. Yet her speed helped her a lot in the battlefield. But she was more than just a little girl, so it might be time for her to think of a strategy instead of insecurities.
Samui on the other hand chuckled and leaned back next to her long time friend Shu, not knowing how to explain her sudden disappearance. Umm You do know as lieutenants of squad 4 we are oblidged to attend due our medical knowledge? she said with a sly grin yet her tone serious. Also the thought of the possible disease she may had was worrying her to death. She sighed and looked again at her friend, aware that she needed to know but there was so many people around. To hell with being shy! she just looked around once more before saying the following. Shu, I might need to get attended quickly after this summit. My health hasnt been the brightest of them all. she said casually with a grin and a nervous chuckle. Wondering how the daughter of the most medical man was going to react.

His eyes showed some meticulousness behind them, but then again they were the same. Steely and passive at the news of his little cousin's information. "Boo! So cold!" He would simper a bit. But it was just like Shu to get to the point. Blunt, and straightforward she was. In all seriousness, it was an incredibly dark day then. Who could believe that? Two Captain level shinigami. Gone, right under the noses of their fellow superiors and peers. Folding his arms within his sleeves, he sat back just a bit. Reflecting on how such a thing could mean for the rest of them. And what precautions they may take. And more immediately, why this council has called for even the lower tiers of officers who normally are excluded from such meetings.
This was very dire. Ah...he suddenly felt very sad. At his desk, he had a whole bottle of that new Sake fusion to drink and four more novels of his favorite series to finish.. Depression suddenly rolled within his head. Because, depending on the verdict of this meeting, future shinigami may be deployed. And if they can't recover the two missing Captains, Dirge may never finish his hobbies! Biting a rag, he looked incredibly determined but somehow for the wrong reasons. "They must be rescued at all costs..!" But as that went on, his eyes didn't really miss too many things. It appeared that one of his lieutenants was...well, physically injured. It was admirable of her to still proceed to attend despite such a setback. But he wasn't the only one to notice as it seemed. What's more, a few other eccentric members had entered as well. Though their fashion of entrance was more interesting. One girl floated in through a bubble. Another just kinda peered around, discussing about some chemical variables.
Ah. The room was filled with such individuals.

xxxArriving finally the sound of squad 11 could be heard as a sound wave of marching feet came to the doors. They were loud for just 9 people, on purpose, to show more force. Even if Atsuhiko wasn't here, Suke wasn't going to let people think that squad 11 had become any less lethal. Instead, everyone walked in, their heads held high, marching in step, hands on sword hilts and walking past people as if they don't matter. They walked up to where the 11th division was supposed to be and settled down in their seats, Suke stood next to the Captain's chair since he was having to fill in for Atsuhiko. He looked around and noticed that they were the last ones to arrive. He just sighed and looked at Ai. "Oh well. Best for last right?" He asked her, earning a giggle as he bowed towards Kokoro to show her that his squad was present and accounted for.

"I did my job Samui. The members of the Sigma Relief Squad healed everyone who needed healing in the First Division and we parted ways to the rest of the Gotei 13. Granted, I did take a fewhours to train with some fellow shinigami, but I nevertheless did my job" Smirking afterwards, she wasn't surprised that Samui was giving her slack over her little training session.
Though Shu noticed that she didn't look like she was in the best condition to be attending the meeting, as she was alarmed. "You alright Sam? If you need, after the meeting, I can take you over to the U.H.C and get you a proper check up?" Lightly smiling, Shu didn't want to alarm her friend, but she was worried for her medical condition.
Shu then turned her attention over to Dirge and raised her eyebrow at his comment. She grinned at him as she heard his last remark and couldn't help but smile a bit. "You're damn straight a rescue mission better happen soon! After all, what kind of people would we be if we didn't rescue our comrades in distress?" Smiling, she then remained quiet as she noticed the arrival of the nine members of the Eleventh Division.
They were doing their best to not show their sorrow, but Shu could see right through it. She knew that the disappearance of Atsuhiko affected them and she could relate with most of the members of the Eleventh Division. After seeing her former sensei and more importantly her current teacher and mentor disappear out of the blue affected Shu significantly.
"Good day to you Isoroku." Miyabi spoke to him shortly. Miyabi now was slightly worried about her captain. Jousake was late normally but for an important meeting this was kinda off. Tons of members of the Hiroshi house were here. This brought a small smile to her unmarked face. Miyabi cared for each member of this family and even the one who have pasted away. On many account Miyabi visited the graves of the fallen members. Part of Miyabi wished to be part of this family this brought an even larger smile to her face. To marry one of the would be an honor beyond any means, but this would never happen.
Miyabi looked at Shu she was becoming a fine young lady and an even better warrior. Miyabi felt close to Shu even though at first she hated this girl but now she cared for her. Jousake could melt Miyabi's heart just by looking at her. He would never know this because Miyabi could never admit it.
Occasionally glancing up, watching for a few seconds at a time as new arrivals entered the room, Amaranth nodded in greeting to a few of the arrivals, only watching for prolonged periods when one of the Royal Guards entered the room. Losing interest in the figure with the bird perched on her shoulder, she was more interested in her former captain, who had reverted back to her feline form and floated in on a bubble, before a second shift left the white-haired female seated high above everyone else.
Refocusing on the books before her and continuing to copy out notes, filling in the theoretical gaps with her own knowledge, she returned to her work on the Kido Release, ironing out the creases and patching the flaws. Occasionally holding out her arm, focusing and concentrating the reiryoku around it, Amaranth attempted some small scale experiments, replicating the aura effect she had seen earlier. Watching as the aura flickered, the energy twisting and writing, Amaranth frowned, her purple eyes narrowing as the shroud around her arm took a different form than the one expected.
Dispelling the experiment and lowering her arm, the pale Shinigami moved to a new page in her own book, making note of the possibility that the one technique could have several different states. After mulling over the potential implications of such a thing, Amaranth shrugged and returned to work, nibbling away at the edges of a cookie as Shinigami continued to arrive.

Sakura felt so alone since she was the only seated officer in her squad. Sakura thought to herself about going and bring a random officer so she wouldn't be alone. Some tears began to fill her light ash eyes. Sakura didn't want to cry not with Hiroshi in the same room or because she was all alone. What could be wrong with her squad that no one was seated beside her. She wasn't the strongest in her squad but she did have a name for her zanpakuto.
Sakura sighed and shut her eyes tightly. Sakura focused all her might on not crying but her will wasn't strong enough to hold it back. A few tears fell into her lap and Sakura began to wipe away the new falling one. "Why am I crying?" Sakura quietly asked herself. What f someone saw her crying they would call her names like in the past. "Oh mother... please give me the strength to stop crying." Sakura repeated to herself over and over, but her words just fell on deaf ears.

The council room was filling up and quite quickly. So Hiro took a chance to check out some of the fellas in the room. First up was from squad 11 Suke. He was okay looking Hiro preferred an older looking gentleman. Then Hiro's eyes landed on Sasuke and quickly left from that horrid image. Nyhil was an highly attractive man but a little bit on the crazy side, everyone from squad 12 kinda was. Squad 13 Captain Roka was easy on the eyes minus his third eye, but that could be easily be covered up. Santiago was just a no nothing about him was appealing to Hiro. Ari was just a laughing joke to Hiro for some reason. Ari looked like he could be someone's kid brother.
Then Hiro's eyes fell upon Isoroku; Hiro was stunned for words. Hiro felt a sharp pain in his ribs due to the fact that he had quickly sat up straight. Then the reality hit him "Isoroku Hiroshi..." Hiro whispered to himself. Why did an attractive man like him belong to that cursed clan. Hiro still hated the Hiroshi clan and wanted to end their line but he couldn't do so.

Everything had been concluded in the meeting with Kokoro and the others and the head of the Gotei had set off to the Royal Council Room to debrief the others in the plans for the future. Anya had been directed to construct the Kidō that would be used and others were assigned duties as well - although Kono was left with an assumption of not being needed. It was not a problem, far from it, but it would do well for one to say that. Regardless, it was all finished.
Anya rose shortly after Kokoro had left, mentioning to Kono that she was off to head to the Council chambers. The raven-haired woman nodded in response. She crossed her arms over her chest as Anya formed a bubble as she was lifted out of the tower. There was no particular reason for the action, it was just a natural thing to do at this point. A few minutes after Anya had left, Kono turned her eyes to the doorway and pursed her lips. It was about time for her to head out as well; things were simply going to fall into routine if she went back to the Spirit King's Palace, so she decided to join everyone.
First, however, she was change. Taking a deep inhalation, Kono focused her Reiatsu deep into the core of her body until it was barely recognizable - roughly being felt as a low level, unranked Shinigami. Her body then poofed, so to speak, and, from the smoke around the immediate area, emerged a small child. Her clothing had changed with her transformation, now donning a small tea dress and sun hat that swallowed her tiny head. Letting out the breath she had focused, Kono padded out of the door and disappeared in a flickering after-image.
--------
Not long after, the little runt faded into sight just outside the Royal Council Room doors. The doors themselves were rather large compared to her, but she pushed them aside easily. When she entered, her eyes flicked from person to person, finding a great deal of the Gotei to be present. It was a strange feeling, all of the different Reiatsu signatures being put out in one place. She could place many to a person, now that she had met many of the captains - or at least been in their presence - and she found Anya seated up some.
Being the child she was, Kono brought her hands just below her chin and wiggled her body in excitement as she found her friend - there was nothing like "Where's Waldo" when Waldo was you closest friend. Her little legs made a soft, rhythmic tapping as they carried her over to the feline-woman. As she neared, her pace quickened until she closed the gap with quickly executed shunpo. When she appeared again, she had her t-rex sized arms wrapped around Anya's shoulders."Neee~ Neko-tan!" She was positively beaming happiness. She couldn't help it though. She was happy to see her, again.
Giving a soft squeeze of a hug, Kono let her head rest on the girl's shoulder for a moment before she stood behind her, looking at the top of her head. Lifting her hands up, Kono soft wrapped her fingers on Anya's ears and rubbed them, a look of content happiness rolling over her features. After a few seconds of that, her hands slid down - around the area ears would normally be - and began to twirl Anya's hair absent-mindedly. She rested her chin the girls head as well, the same look of content holding true."More meetings... I just wanna eat candy."The words came out in a mumbled mess, simply talking lazily through her teeth.

Tao wondered if he was late. It seemed like quite a lot of people where arriving at this historical place. Tao became nervous instantly, he knew anyone above the 10th rank would be in there. He'd have to make contact with people that weren't trying to murder him. He wasn't use to people that weren't attacking him. He was always attacked.
Before entering this place, Tao stopped before the entrance, it would trail down into a dome of amazement, but he stopped to calm his nerves. Though, to some it probably looked like he was just stopping to look at something. He held no expressions on his face, whats so ever. Tao's sharp eyes glazed over his surroundings once more before taking a light step into the doors.
Tao made his way down and quickly realized this place was freaking huge. He looked around, scoping out the area to get a feel of how many people are there and such. Looking up, he'd noticed the Head Captain, a twitch of his lips was noticed as a quick smirk was placed on his lips and soon erased as he walked over to his own correct spot. Tao found a path at which he wouldn't encounter anyone. Oh how he feared people.
Taking his seat, Tao sat casually, hands tucked in his pockets, his gaze lowered not to draw attention, and lastly, his leg swung over the other. He was looking rather fancy. Tao couldn't help but become in his own thoughts at this moment. He was always in his own thoughts, no one wanted to share there thoughts with him, nor did they want to listen to his, so he was forced to talk about his own thoughts with himself, in his mind. Tao would always think about people, these people sitting all around him, people on the streets, people, just people. He wondered if there was ever anyone that was like him, a monster like him, someone whom could understand him completely, someone that was just like him, just someone whom would reach out to him. But there never was. Thats where his thoughts always would end, him being displeased with himself.
