Welcome to Gaia! ::

Seeing the blank expression in his fellow squad eight comrades eyes, Si could only surmise that he was not in a stable state, but what could have caused this?

Please, hold yourself together, what would Captain Yuki-

Unable to enter the mind of the man through conversation, Si used a shunpo to distance himself, rubbing the back of his skull in confusion, he looked onward at the chaos that surrounded him.

The tales of Seireitei when Si isn't around

Ikazuchiniwakaame then mad an appearance before him, it wasn't unusual for his Zan to appear from time to time, and Si had been wondering when he'd make his debut.

Ikazuchiniwakaame

"Si, what are you doing fooling around? You must hurry, you're needed. I've seen the minds of the other Zanpakutou, they are not themselves, something is happening and we need to find out what."

The tall white haired figure that was his Zanpakutou talked fast and purpose, making sure that Si took what he was saying seriously.

I'm aware of that much by now, Ikazuchiniwakaame, but the real problem for me is, if there is an all mighty something happening, I'd best keep my wits about me and stay clear of everything, hide in fact until this all blows over

His sword wasn't happy at his response, he showed it with a disgusted look and a sudden vanishing.

I'm not strong, I'm not ready for something this big, I'd think you of all would realize that, seeing as you are closest to me

After thinking on it, Si ventured up the mountain side, against his better judgment. Feeling slightly sick to his stomach about the whole affair, his captain would be there, yes, but that just didn't settle his uneasiness, this wasn't something he should be getting himself involved with. Perching on a rock, not two feet away from a destroyed hut, Si guessed to say that this was a celebration gone awry, laughing slightly at misfortune, he slapped himself back into the awful scene.

I believe this could have been a happier day for a lot of people

Picking up some scrap pieces and throwing them back down, everything was obliterated, only misc pieces were everywhere, things that may have been part of a human corpse once? He wasn't sure. Ikazuchiniwakaame appeared before him again, not addressing Si, he looked on into the smoking ruins.

"This place was unjustly ravaged."

Si's sword was acting in a poignant way, Si didn't know he was so sentimental. Vanishing again, Si continued on, carefully, letting his guard down was something he did often.

-I'm A Basket Full Of Fun

Si - Eighth Seat, Eighth Squad

While it was true she had initiated contact with Ulrich by kicking him over onto the ground, she had certainly not invited him to initiate physical contact with her. Senka's body twitched slightly as she felt his hand touch her shoulder, and the action was met with her looking towards his hand with a quizzical gaze and a cocked eyebrow. She had been in a playful mood for a moment, but her mood instantly shifted, and she turned her gaze back towards him, twitching her upper lip in disgust. She did not like being touched by commoners. "You must not want that hand..." She said in passing, a calm tone with a hint of anger reflected in her words. Luckily for Ulrich, his hand was brushed away when her elder sister suddenly put herself between the two and knelt down onto her knee after taking Senka's hand. Senka's face lit up when she saw her elder sister, whom she adored, and waited patiently as Tsukiko spoke to her. When she was done speaking, Senka nodded slowly and her gaze fell to the two swords at Tsukiko's waist; one being Tsukiko's and the other being Senka's own. She was prepared to allow Tsukiko to take her back to the estate when out of the corner of her eye, she saw that Nayton was directing an attack towards them.

She saw his Haori, and simply didn't have the time the to rationalize the situation. Faster than the eye could follow, Senka used sleight of hand and stole her katana from under Tsukiko's nose and turned towards the oncoming wave. "Ji-" Senka had started to speak Shiranami's release command and the blade was already three inches out of the sheath when the wave suddenly turned to stone. Having seen Zenos' powers in action already, she instantly understood what had happened and even though she continued walking towards the source of the attack, she had sheathed Shiranami and was dragging it behind her by the white cord attached to the saya. She noticed that some older boy had seemed to take charge of the situation amongst the several Captains who had yet to react, and had attempted to bind the rogue Captain. With this under control, she should have, by all means, left the situation alone. However, the wave had been directed towards everyone, including her sister. This alone prompted the small girl to release massive amounts of suffocating Reiatsu as shadows shifted to obscure her face from view, and for whatever reason her eyes appeared to glow bright red in a demonic fashion.

Approaching the petrified wave, Senka made sure that everyone could see her and stopped at the base of the wave before placing her fingers against the stone. Closing her eyes, she breathed a sigh before pressing her fingers into the stone with ease. Then, as if to demonstrate her power and anger at the moment, she suddenly vanished and then reappeared in the same place, but this time with her foot directly touching the base of the stone wave. "Ashikotsu." For several seconds, nothing happened, and the air was filled with nothing but silence. At least until a sickening crack filled the air, followed by a deafening explosion as the the stone wave blew apart, throwing shards and chunks of stone in every direction, having been completely obliterated by this small girl with a single kick. As smoke cleared, Senka began moving away from the rubble, her eyes trained on Nayton. "Do that again, and I will kill you. I will not tolerate anyone attacking my sister." Her reiatsu suddenly vanished, returning her hair to normal and, now over her brief fit of anger, Senka moved towards Tsukiko, quite ready for her sister to take her home.

Linuen Frost
Third Seat, Seventh Division
Sereitei, Soul Society

As soon as his captain, Shizuka, spoke, Linuen turned and dashed to her assistance. His mind became blank after hearing her voice and all; hell, he even ignored his skirmish with Yuudai and all just to be with her. As soon as he arrived at her side, he knelt down and then caressed his captain's blood-smeared face. "Shizuka-taichou!" Linuen gasped in shock as he saw the blood all over. "Don't move. Please, just... don't move! MEDIC!" He exclaimed in frustration, looking around for people who know how to heal injuries. From that moment, he swore he would do anything just to secure medics - this even proved too much of an example for the lack of medical people.

Suddenly, figures began to surge all over. First off, there came an impressionist of a woman, who happened to be Senka's sister. It was quite strange because the woman reminded Linuen of the current Twelfth Division captain, Zetsumei; that's none of his business anyways. Next, there came the sudden attack of Nayton, who is also one of the captains of the Gotei 13. Luckily though, different people managed to deal with him. There was this magnificent stunt from Zenos, as soon as he was completely healed, that caused the cascading water attack from Nayton to turn to stone. Adding up and making a finesse attack, Senka shattered the stone wall into pieces. Linuen was taken aback in silence as he observed everyone.

"Hold on, Shizuka-taichou..." Linuen said softly, as he watched helplessly for someone to help them.

Tsukiko was initially pleased to see that Senka had agreed to her request so quickly, and was fully prepared to return to their home when Senka became preoccupied by the wave that Nayton had created. Tsukiko wasn't entirely sure what that was all about, but nonetheless it was of concern at the very least, since Senka had now taken to retaliating, or more threatening Nayton for his actions. Exhaling a sigh, Tsukiko shook her head as she dropped her forearm to her knee and rose to her feet, feeling somewhat responsible for this after Senka subtly explained her reason for breaking the wave apart. By the time Senka had returned, Tsukiko rapped her younger sister on the top of her head lightly with the back of her hand. "Dummy. You don't have to do that." She then took Senka's hand into her own, and had guided her three feet from where they had been standing when a blue mist covered the area, causing her to stop in her tracks but not turn around.

It wasn't hard for her to deduce that Nayton was up to something again, especially given the fact that it was mist, and he had already used water. She knew who had done it without having to look, which in itself wasn't much of a feat to begin with. Of course, the mist did little to obscure her vision, as she did not necessarily need to use normal human sight. Two concentric rings appeared around the girl's pupils and she was instantly granted a 360º field of vision, so she was able to look through the back of her own head and train her eyes on Nayton as he moved. Switching to a speed setting on her right eye, she watched, in her eyes, as Nayton casually moved over to Adachi's body and took what he wanted before speaking again, apparently to Senka. His comment made her raise an eyebrow in amusement, specifically for the fact she was indeed a child and since she could easily take down the Captain, obviously a child's threats meant a lot more than he thought they did. However, he wasn't to be blamed for his ignorance; no one else knew her.

Tsukiko watched the next event transpire through a normal sight setting, appearing disinterested, but actually analyzing everything at once. Once Nayton had fallen to the ground, Tsukiko quirked an eyebrow and turned her head around to face the others. It was then that she noticed Linuen hovering over Shizuka, who was apparently badly wounded. Tsukiko brought her free hand to the side of her head and scratched her left temple before she tugged Senka in Shizuka's direction and dragged her over there. Once at her side, Tsukiko let out a groan as she plopped herself on the ground, sinking onto her knees and dirtying the pants she had been wearing. Afterward, she reached out to palm Linuen's face and turn him away as she was certain Shizuka would not want him looking at her in the minutes to follow. "Well... I brought this because of... my sister... But..." Mumbling to herself aloud, Tsukiko fished a metal tube from her pants pocket and then unscrewed it's top, only to put it between her teeth so she wouldn't lose it. "This is gonna sting..." She said around closed teeth, causing her words to become jumbled, as she tore open the female's robes and poured the stinging liquid onto her wounds, which would serve to instantly sterilize them at the cost of a decent amount of pain. Like rubbing hand sanitizer into an open blister, just six times worse. Luckily it only lasted for seven seconds, sadly those seven seconds usually felt like hours.

Once this was done, she put the top back on and traded the metal tube for a flattened plastic tube with a green liquid in it from the same pocket. Putting the needle end in her mouth, she tugged the cap off then switched her vision to view her circulatory system, found a vein, then stuck the needle into it and injected her with the serum. It was a regenerative serum, the result of her own in-home research and experimentation, and it would mend her wounds in under a dozen seconds, but it would certainly cause her a decent amount of pain. Once the tube was completely empty, she tugged the needle out, capped it, then returned it to her pocket. From there, she could do little more than to put her robes back in place, then touch her forehead for a temperature, which she did have a fever. Standing up, she rolled her head and looked around before speaking aloud. "Don't administer any other medicines to this woman, just let her rest. Anything else in her system will kill her." With that, she took Senka's hand again and began to walk her away from everyone else, feeling no need to stick around any longer.

Curiosity overtook the small girl when she was suddenly tugged backwards by Tsukiko stopping abruptly. "Ack!" Senka let out a small cry of surprise as she nearly fell over and as she righted herself, she gazed up at her elder sister. "Onee-chan...?" She tilted her head in confusion as she got no responses from her, only prompting Senka to try even harder to get her attention rather than stop and be patient. Senka had no clue what Tsukiko was watching, as she had long since tuned everyone else out; even the mist was treated as perfectly normal in her eyes. While Tsukiko stood motionless next to her, Senka took her right hand in both of her own and tugged on it as hard as she could without getting totally serious, only to be overwhelmed by the structural integrity of Tsukiko's tugsten carbide chassis. Senka gave up on this attempt when, after she was only being held up by Tsukiko's arm, her feet slipped out from beneath her and slid forward, causing Senka to dip down towards the ground, lose her grip on Tsukiko's hand, and land on the ground. "Aiyah..." She whined as she pulled herself to her feet and rubbed her back in an attempt to make it feel better from the spill she had taken. Next she tried to push at her sister's legs, which didn't work any better than pulling on her did, and only resulted on her losing her grip after several seconds and falling over on to the ground.

Swearing under her breath, Senka jumped to her feet and aimed a low kick to Tsukiko's right shin, which also did nothing except send vibrations up her leg that only served to make her shiver. Finally giving up, Senka finally took Tsukiko's hand again and began to shake it back and forth while repeatedly calling her, only to be tugged in the other direction when Tsukiko decided to go treat Shizuka. "Oneechaaaaan~" She whined, trying to get her to pay her some attention that she felt she deserved, not to mention desperately wanted. Senka became distracted when she saw Shizuka and her wounds, causing her to fall quiet and stare on in interest while Tsukiko started treating her. After her robes were pulled apart, Senka eyeballed Shizuka's chest, then shot her gaze towards Tsukiko's, comparing the two for whatever reason, then kept her gaze fixed upon her elder sister's face until she was pulled away from the rest of the Shinigami. As they walked away, Senka swung her's and Tsukiko's hands back and forth while humming to herself until finally, once they were out of earshot, she spoke up. "You like her, don't you?" There was no basis to this statement other than the fact that she knew her sister liked women and not men; she had not actually seen any factual evidence that Tsukiko liked Shizuka, she was simply asking childish questions for no reason.
