Welcome to Gaia! ::

((I hate to ask which friend O_o; ?))

Hikari becomes enthralled with the battle between Aichou and Aikou. Even with her mind on that fight, her frightenning reiatsu still keeps the peasants away; she bleeds killer intent. When she sees the shikai of both Aichou and Aikou, her eyes go wide, and even more lust for blood soaks her reiatsu. Her grip on her zanpakutou, both katana and tantou, tightens to the point her knuckles pale. When a massive attack wave is launched their way, her pupils dilate. The gears of her mind are turning as she tries to figure out a plan, but she's no where near mastering anything like a barrier that could protect so many.

When leaves begin raining from the sky, the expression in Hikari's eyes soften. When a leaf brushes across her skin, she has a question apparent on her face. When the newcomer announces himself, she looks right at him. Searching through her memory, she comes up with a name to the face. With blinking eyes, she yells out his name in greeting. "Onnarashii~san~!" The sing-song tone of her voice also announces her blood lust; though not directed at him, the killer intent in her reiatsu is obvious. She's ready for the next challenge. Aikou's too much, but she might be able to handle another challenge or two...

(He's up on a roof so I'd assume he's a student. The enemy hasn't gotten too far beyond the gate; they're being repelled about 30-50 feet in.)

(@ Hikari, I'm referring to Tsai)

Kaosu's face drew incredibly grim as the girl slid to the ground, lifeless. He stood there a moment, and then knelt next to the body. Fixing her body so that she lay proper, he grabbed her weapon and the pair of glasses, placing the weapon in between her still-warm hands.

Carefully he placed the glasses onto her lifeless face and leaned in closer, whispering. "I will never forget your name, Aigyou." He stood up, deciding that she was honored well enough for the moment, and walked once more into the crowd of restless Rukongai members.

His face didn't show it anymore, but he was angry. Furious would be an even better way to describe it. He pushed his reiatsu outwards in an attempt for the surrounding people to know how truly pissed he was. The blood of the girl still dripping off his blade, he pressed into the crowd once more, not even bothered anymore by his eye; just a vague blackness on the side of his face. It wasn't a problem.

He didn't care how many people he had to cut through. He would find one of the bastards that did it and kill him.

One of the heartless charlatans that brought Aigyou to fight, that stirred the members of Rukongai, just one. He felt Hikari's presence, finally, now that he was no longer busy in his own affairs. He kept swinging his blade, clearing a small path by those who didn't already leave his aura well alone.

He came up against Hikari, and noticed a change in weaponry. Shikai. He cursed himself, that such a young girl had achieved it before him. Not that he was mad, but he was a little disappointed in himself.

Above the raucous noise he shouted. "Hey, Hikari! Handling yourself well I see!" He knocked the butt of his sword into a man's face, knocking him to the floor. "And I must congratulate you on unlocking that!" He kicked the leg of another, sending him sprawling. Dodging the strike of a steak knife, he sliced into someone's forearm.

"What do you say to cutting through a few people, neh?" He wanted to talk to someone, anyone, than be left with his own thoughts.

Kaosu didn't have to turn around to feel a change in the girl's reiatsu. "I didn't mean kill them, dear Hikari." Kaosu said, kicking one to the floor. "I simply meant pushing a path through them. But...if you want to clear them through reiatsu..."

He smiled, pushing his reiatsu out a little harder. He looked up, watching his own field connecting with Hikari's, crackling with the energy of both, noticing hers stronger. Once more he cursed himself, spitting on the ground.

"And if you're so intent on fighting Aichou's big bro, why not settle for his lackeys?"

He bashed another young fellow in the face before he felt a tickle in his mind. A familiar feeling. He turned, and smiled. Through one eye he saw the hair of his best friend, Tsai Lin.

He laughed, pushing his reiatsu out, creating a bubble of people who avoid him. He ran up to his friend and smiled, knocking another member of the Rukongai down.

"Long time no see, Tsai!" He exclaimed, his one-eyed smile purely jovial. "Where the hell have you been lately?" He asked, knocking aside a butcher's cleaver. "Haven't seen you for weeks!"

A normal looking man from the city is who faces Dorian. He's young seeming, physically about in his mid twenties. He's got a staff, and he doesn't look like much of anything, but he's determined to fight..even if the others are finally breaking and running away. He swings with his simple weapon..




The enemy is falling quickly. The diversionary force isn't enough to stand up, and it seems as though they're falling back; the battles are taking less time, and those who haven't died or been knocked stupid are leaving and fast, past their leader and away into the city.

Kaen would find that the enemies are running; to kill them he'd have to follow now, as they're on the retreat.




Aikou looks agitated. He turns his head towards the north gate, and almost loses an ear to Aichou's chains while not paying attention. He spins around and grips his blades tightly..

"That boy turned against us..He was supposed to open a portal to Hell at the north gate..what's with opening a gate to the world of hollows..? I knew it was a mistake, taking him in. Deception breeds deception. It's no use. I'll have to kill this entire group of children and weak officers myself.."



He sighs, flustered, and holds his two swords out..one to each side..before dropping them..


"Ban..kai."


The explosion happens..wood splinters of all things, fly everywhere..and a spiral of energy rises up from Aikou, creating a field of smoke as the pressure he exudes becomes more dense, more heavy. When the smoke clears, what stands before him..at about twenty or twenty five feet high or so, is a great marionette. It is clothed in the same garb as he is, and floats slightly off the ground. Its unblinking eyes stare ahead..and he murmers.

"Eieiodoriko aigou dokujahina kakeru reikon."


And that said, he lifts his hand, which moves the arm of his marionette..four slots on the left arm open up, and he sends a thousand similar wooden arms flying from it against Aichou..all of them striking down, covering her. The blow caves in a large section of street, leaving some to wonder if someone could even live under that blow. Aikou sighs and tips his head..

"Not dead already are you? That would be boring.."

Kaen grinned as the two had had started to advance on him turned and fled with the rest of the crowd. He swung his heavy sword down to his right, stopping it when it was parallel with his leg, the sudden stop causing the blood from the blade to splatter across the ground behind him. Then, suddenly he feels something odd, and see's a cloud of smoke rushing from where, what he had assumed was a captain, was fighting one on one with what he assumed was the enemy commander. Thining quickly, he used all his strength to shove his sword into the ground, managing to bury about six inches of it into the ground. As the explosion hit him, he grasped ontot he sword, which remained in place due to the blades that only worked one way, if the slash started at the bottom of the blade. When it clears, he finds he has to rely on his sword to support him now, as the air is so thick with reiatsu. He had the feeling that if he wanted to survive, this was not the best place to be...
