 UgendōLocated on the Hakase estate, the Ugendō is situated in the middle of the pond opposite the mansion, on the other side of the fiver that runs through it. It's set aside for any sort of recovery that does not require hospital treatment. So far, Yuki has stayed here prior to giving birth to Tsukiko, Tsukiko has stayed here with Yuki during her bout with the flu, and Hei has stayed here on the many occasions he's gotten himself sick through self-experimentation. As of now, Hei lives here while his mansion is being rebuilt.
Like the grounds themselves, admittance requires permission from the family.

300  Hakase Hei Jūnibantai Taichō After leaving the relief station, Hei eventually made up his mind to return to where he was currently living. With Senka being looked after, he could at least be alone to himself as he continued to dwell on the fact that he could quite literally do nothing for his family right now. He was lucky in that he did not have to cross the rubble left behind by the explosion of his mansion some time ago, due to the fact that the Ugendō was on the other side of his estate. When he neared the edge of the lake surrounding the free-standing structure, Hei stepped off the ground and used a lazy Shunpo to propel himself towards the deck. He misgauged the distance and would have fallen into the lake if it weren't for him quickly stepping off the water and hopping onto the deck.
Once steadily on his feet, Hei sauntered inside and found himself looming over a low shelf opposite his bed. For a moment, he stared at a sake cup he had put his finger on, and then he picked up the bottle of alcohol and left the cup there. Afterward, he stepped over to his bed and sank down onto it after letting the top of his Yukata hang down over the belt, propping himself up against the wall and putting the bottle between his crossed legs. For now, all he could do was stare out the window looking out into the pond, the meadow beyond it, and the storage units and servants quarters beyond that. As he stared, he thought about very little in particular, sleep was catching up with him at this point, and to top it all off, he was in the midst of drinking himself silly to get rid of knot in his stomach that came from his thoughts of Yuki never waking up.

[Ugendō]
As soon as Emiya had made it to the edge of the lake, she was able to shake the thought of the turtle from her mind and focus on the more important issue of getting over to the lake. Once there, she approached the bridge that spanned across the lake and connected the shore to the lakehouse in the middle of it. Silently, she padded across the bridge without allowing herself to make noise, and held her breath until she made it to the door. In truth, she knew little of this place, and for all she knew, her weight could have caused the wooden bridge to creak and alert a swarm of ninja to her presence. Luckily, however, this did not occur and she made it across without any problems. Hand on the door, Emi exhaled with relief and then looked over her shoulder to see if she was being followed. Once Emi was confident that no one had seen her, not that anyone was there, the teenager jimmied the handle to see if it was locked, and then pushed it open when she realized it wasn't. At first, she only took a step in, then she remembered lingering in a doorway whose door had just seemingly opened by itself to anyone else was pretty stupid. Hurriedly, Emi slipped inside and turned around as she eased the door shut, then placed her open hand upon the door. Once more, she sighed with relief and then dropped Hitokurei, removing her transparency as she began to catch her breath. For the moment, she had yet to notice she was not alone, but that would soon be remedied when she finally turned around, slumped against the door, and turned her gaze onto the bed by the window.
Unblinkingly, she stared at the person occupying the piece of furniture; tall, dark, gorgeous beyond all belief, and most importantly for the moment, appeared to be wearing no clothes from what she could see. However, Emiya could not force herself to pry her gaze away from this man, and instead stood transfixed and locked in a staring contest with him as she fumbled her hands nervously. She disregarded the fact that he looked worn out, his good looks pretty much made that factor obsolete. Eventually, however, she managed to find words to express what she was thinking. "S-sorry for interrupting you, chest- sir! Sorry for interrupting y-you, sir... I..." Emiya could feel her cheeks getting redder by the second, and it did not help that she could still not look away. "I, you... this... Is... your shed." With a nervous laugh, Emi finally tore her gaze away from the seemingly naked man and patted a support beam that was next to her. "Yep, your sh-shed... I'll, l-leave you alone then..." In the middle of a full-face flush, Emiya yanked the door open and whisked herself outside, collapsing against the door once it shut. Emiya still had both hands on the handle behind her back when she inhaled deeply, paused, and let out a shrill scream mixed with fangirlish delight and fear that would carry for quite a distance. "Oh god, he was so hot!" She thought to herself as she stumbled forward and, neglecting to hide herself, ran along the bridge towards the shore in an attempt to seperate herself from the man who was doing two things to her; making her have impure thoughts about someone other than Kuzumi, and scaring the living hell out of her because she had stumbled across someone who was probably out to get her too. As she neared the turn in the bridge, she tripped over her own two feet and slipped to the side, spraining her ankle and dropping to the floor. Emi sat up, then took a look at her ankle which, sure enough, was already beginning to swell up. "Great."

Akane Itsuki, Nanabantai-Taichō
Riku Ryuu of the Black Mist Mountains Akane walks along the bank of the Ugendō's pond. With there having been a shriek, as they called it, he had to make sure something wasn't going on that shouldn't be. He shunpo's forward to the small hut and looks down the bridge. Akane looks to the girl and slowly opens his eyes, and using both himself and the reishi around him to make an outline of the girl. He folds his arms in to the opposite's sleeve, leaving his right hand upon the handle of his Zanpakutō strapped to his left arm. He moves towards the girl, "Name and rank, young lady? I don't believe I've... felt your presence before."
Akane stops but maybe fifteen feet from her, and even then she probably wouldn't see his face. The hood over his head covered the top half for the most part, and the only real part of Akane she could see may be a few scars over his chest, as he did not wear the uppermost of his uniform. A new question then came to mind, ".. and why are you on the Hakase's Estate? Access to this premises is strictly forbidden by Master Hei, 'less you came here as I did.." Truthfully, Akane was in the wrong by being here as well, since he didn't have permission and really cared less about it. His arrogance would get him in trouble with Hei possibly, but seeing what this person was doing was of higher priority. [ Location: Bridge leading to the Ugendō ] ||OOC: N/a ||

1331 Hakase Hei Jūnibantai Taichō
[Inside Ugendō]
As the many minutes passed by, Hei did nothing more than stare out the window of his room and take the occasional drink from the bottle of alcohol between his legs. He felt slightly guilty for not being with his daughter, but he could not manage the patience to be around the defiant child right now. Not to mention he wasn't in the proper state to care for a child right now, not with everything going on, so it was better that Senka stay with Nu for the time being. Eventually, the bottle he appeared to be cradling ran out and he sauntered across the room to retrieve another, doing this as many times as he saw fit. Since there were extra chemicals in Hei's body to filter out alcohol, he could drink a lot more than others and was well into his seventh bottle when he heard Emi making noise outside. However, he chose to ignore this --chalking it up to one of the guards making their rounds-- and did not pay attention to the noises until he heard the sound of the door's handle being fiddled with. It was a long standing rule both here in the Ugendō and in the manor that any shut door must be treated respectfully, and the person trying to gain entry must state their purpose for being there. After which, they were either denied or allowed entry, but this person had not even spoken.
However, given his current state of dejection, Hei barely cared about this matter, despite what it actually meant; someone breaking the rule, or worse yet, an intruder. It was for this reason that he only turned his gaze towards the door when it opened and shut, and said nothing when a teenage female suddenly appeared before him. Like always, he was calm and collected, but stranger than normal was the fact that he refused to move from his seat and instead stared her down with a blank expression that hid his sadness as she stammered her greeting and subsequent goodbye. In fact, he appeared far more interested in the fact that he could see right through her shirt to the black bra she wore beneath it, than her actually being there. Of course, his attention to this detail had barely anything to do with the fact that he had not had any action in over five days; it was true hers would mark the first set of non-coma patient breasts he had seen in a while, but this barely did anything but remind him of what he was missing. The majority of the reason for his intense focus was that neither Tsukiko nor Yuki would ever be caught dead walking around with a wet, white shirt that displayed their undergarments like that; all he could wonder is why she was dressed like this. His intense focus was only a result of his curiosity.
As soon as she rushed out the door and screamed, Hei turned his attention back to the window; strictly speaking, he didn't give a damn about her in the first place, especially not now that she had left. Or so he thought. Hei quickly realized how much Emi began reminding him of the females in his life, especially Tsukiko, and all the pieces that he had previously ignored started clicking into place. She had entered a restricted area, entered the room hidden by some kind of magic, had not dropped to her knees in fear upon seeing him, and was running around without having changed her wet clothes; she, whomever she was, was not supposed to be here right now. "I see it now..." Hei muttered to himself as he began to ease himself off the bed and turn from the window. "She's a human." Cracking his neck, the noble lifted the right side of his Yukata, fed his arm back into the sleeve, then did the same for his left arm before adjusting the belt and demurely seizing the half-full bottle of alcohol from the windowsill where he had placed it seconds ago. In a short period of time, Hei was already at the doorway, stepping outside to witness others approaching the girl, who appeared to have fallen in her attempt to leave this place. A mere glance to the side alerted him of Akane's presence, although he could not rightfully say who the man was, having no attention for lower seats, and then having no idea he had been promoted by the 46 as of recent. There had been a message sent out, but the person that had come to deliver it to him had been shooed away at the time; Hei had been in no mood to hear anything from anyone. As soon as he recognized Akane as a Shinigami and not another human, however, he raised his hand, and action that instantly summoned seven Onmitsukidō, a small portion of those tasked to guard the estate. Five of them placed themselves between Emiya and Akane to signify that he not move any closer, and the remaining two appeared in front of Hei on either side, already assuming a bowing stance on one knee. "My master?" They stated in unison, urging further instruction for their summons.
Truth be told, he had not been expecting these two to come to him, instead assuming they'd join their motionless, hands-behind-their-back colleagues standing between Emiya and Akane. They appeared more efficient than he gave them credit for. "Bring me clothes for this girl, from my sister's room." After pausing for a moment, Hei lowered his hand and answered before dismissing them with another, yet more casual wave of his hand. As soon as they were gone, Hei sauntered towards this human, eying her as he got closer, and then sat down on the bridge directly in front of her, placing the sake bottle in between them as both a peace offering and an obvious obstacle. This, combined with the fact that he was sitting down was meant to imply that it'd be more difficult for him to hit her if he wanted to, assuming that would help put her at ease. He noticed that her ankle was puffed up and before saying anything, bit his thumb and inscribed the markings on his arm for Tenteikuura with his own blood. As soon as this was done, he bypassed the incantation and extended his arm to create the link, then lowered it to the floor as the connection was established to each captain and Lieutenant in the Seireitei. He assumed that Emiya was had not come alone, or had wandered here alone and would soon be joined by someone else looking for her, so he would spread the word while hailing a medic. Of course, he had yet to learn Elisia had left. "Elisia, to the Ugendō, if you will, Kirisho... if you would like to see something interesting, I suggest you do the same. The rest of you, be on the look out for anything suspicious. Anyone fitting the profile is to be captured with full force and brought to me alive." Though he had no intention for them to, most people would probably notice two strange things about that message. The first was that it was uncharacteristically non-demanding of him, he had asked Elisia to come, suggested Hibiki to follow, and calmly stated anyone else should be taken captive. The second was that he had used names instead of ranks like he normally would, and the third was that his voice reflected quite a bit of emotion in it. The connection terminated shortly after and Hei gazed at Emiya curiously. "What is your name, and why are you here?" Why he was so enthralled by this young woman, he did not know for sure, but it likely had something to do with her reminding him of Tsukiko, and enticing a strange fatherly instinct from her towards him. She was, very young; he wanted to know more about her now.

Hibiki Kirisho
- Squad Nine Captain -
================================================
 The gods trembled
The demons flocked[Squad 9 Captain's Office/Editing Room]
After securing a new pair of jeans, after he had accidentally spilled steaming hot coffee on his previous ones, Hibiki decided it’d be best if he laid off on the heavy manual labor, at least for now at least. Not one to simply idle around, he decided to rummage through the cabinets and sort out what remained of the documents inside ”Tch, as I thought, most of them are either burned, crumpled, torn or a mix of all three.” he commented as he sifted through the papers. Having found nothing salvageable, he picked up the pile of papers and headed off towards the training grounds, if anything else at least they would benefit from burning them. Seeing as how Hibiki wasn’t eager to buy any mosquito repellants, his squad members had to settle for the traditional way of smoking them out using leaves, at least the paper would help them here.
"Elisia, to the Ugendō, if you will, Kirisho... if you would like to see something interesting, I suggest you do the same. The rest of you, be on the lookout for anything suspicious. Anyone fitting the profile is to be captured with full force and brought to me alive."
Then, the all too familiar voice of a man he was in no hurry to meet entered his mind ”Dammit, Hei.” muttered Hibiki as he dropped the pile of papers near the fireplace. He was busy right now, that much was certain, he didn’t have the money to hire workers from other squads, and he was too prideful to let others work on what he himself could work on. With that said, he couldn’t exactly leave the work in the hands of his staff, they were competent enough with the pen, but aside from that they were a bunch of procrastinators, in Hibiki’s eyes at least. Thus, he decided to simply ignore Hei, but suddenly the man’s words rang once again in his mind and Hibiki paused for a while to think ”Something… interesting…” he repeated the vague words ”Does he mean?” he continued to speak to himself, until a staff member approached him ”Captain, Mitsuzuri and Gotou still aren’t back, you think they--“ voiced out the man, before he was interrupted by Hibiki’s approach, obviously ignoring his words ”I’m going out for a walk. Don’t any of you dare slack off.” stated Hibiki, leaving no room for response as he immediately dashed off straight towards Ugendo, using shunpo in between.
Fifteen minutes ago he had asked two of his staff members to head towards the Human World, specifically his, or rather the Hakase’s apartment and retrieve the computer from his room so he could check if the one in his office still worked. It shouldn’t have took them long to do it, so the fact that they were still gone meant that they were either slacking off or had encountered a hollow on the way. Either way, it should’ve been a cause of concern for Hibiki, but right now, something was of more importance to him. Ever since the war concluded, no even before that, ever since he was hollowfied, Hibiki held hope that the b*****d responsible for all this had a way to fix it. And that was the only reason he was heading towards the Ugendo to meet up with him.
After a few minutes, he finally arrived at the designated place, and was surprised at what he saw. There on the bridge leading to the Rain Dried Hall was Hei, who he expected him to be there, Captain Akane, who he had yet to congratulate on his promotion, and a young girl, who he assumed was a Rukongai citizen seeing as how she had no reiatsu whatsoever, and surrounding them were five Onmitsukio, most likely Hei's personal bodyguards or security force. Suddenly remembering Hei’s instructions to be on the lookout for suspicious people, Hibiki couldn’t recall having met any of them so he put the matter aside for a while ”Captain Akane, it’s nice to meet you.” he greeted the man as he approached them. Stopping by his side, Hibiki pocketed his hands as he looked towards Hei, even from his position he could tell the man had just recovered from a drinking binge, and it was a wonder he had enough clearness of mind to talk. Though it was a comforting thought that even the great Hei could succumb to the temptations of alcohol, he didn’t come here to make fun out of him, no matter how tempting the opportunity may be ”Something interesting, you said.” he began, wanting no more than to be done with him as soon as possible ”Well, here I am. Make it quick, I have an office room to rebuild.” he stated, ignoring Emi has he wasn’t aware of who, or what she was, still considering her to a mere Rukongai citizen. It was then that he realized, after careful observation of Hei, that the man was wearing something odd, a plain yukata at that, and though he seemed like someone whose wardrobe included both western and eastern attire, something about the garb caught Hibiki's attention "Hang on..." he then muttered as his hawk-like eyes caught sight of something behind Hei's back. On the collar of the yukata he was wearing, the text "Hibiki Kirisho" flashed before Hei's movements concealed it once more.
Dumbstruck at this development, it took Hibiki's brain some time to process, and when it did, the air around him was suddenly filled with enmity towards Hei "But before that, care to explain why your yukata has my name on it?" he spoke, ignoring Akane, the Onmitsukio and Hiiragi "Now that I think about it, it looks quite familiar. I think I have something just like that in my office, Hei." he didn't actually care too much about the yukata, as it was simply a gift given to him during his time in the Academy. He didn't like wearing it though, so he just kept in his locker. What annoyed him was the fact that the man who had enough money to buy his apartment building several times over had the gall to steal from him, of all people.

644 [Ugendō bridge]
For the moment, Emi's attention was focused on her swollen ankle and the dull, throbbing pain associated with it. However, Akane's abrupt appearance caused her to look over and recoil at the sight of him. She had noticed earlier that that woman was wearing something that set her apart from the other kimono-wearing freaks in this place, and noting that he was wearing it to, their classification as a military was starting to become more believable. However, she had not warmed up to any of them yet, so her gut reaction was to snatch up her katana and and point it in his direction while she inched backwards towards the water. He spoke of her name and rank, which implied he thought she was with them, then spoke about "feeling her" which was creepy enough in it's own right, then finally asked her why she was here on the "Hakase Estate." Emi glanced back towards the hut as Hei opened the door, and it occured to her that he must be this "Hakase" person this place belonged too. However, the hut bore no resemblance to a house, which lead her to believe the ruins she had seen before were the remnants of some lavish mansion.
Still keeping her katana pointed towards the other, Emi watched, and blushed profusely as Hei approached her, then summoned seven men covered in black from head to toe; presumably ninja from their appearance. Their abrupt appearance startled her, but they seemed to pay no attention to her, instead just the opposite. "Jinsokurei?..." Blinking, the girl was taken aback when the gorgeous one ordered two of the ninja to bring her clothes that belonged to his sister no less. "Why is he being so nice to me?" Unable to get his naked chest out of her mind, Emi jerked backwards once he sat down in front of her, but made no move to run away. Maybe it was his looks, or maybe it was because he had ordered five people to hold back that other guy, but she felt oddly relaxed around him. Still though, there was something to be said about the other, so Emi's body language was confusing to say the least; she still kept her katana pointed at Akane, but she continuously fidgeted with her shirt while staring into her lap. Because of this, she missed that Hei had bled himself to send a message, and only looked up when he finally spoke to her. Eye contact, of course, did not make it better, and she was soon flushed with intense embarrasment. "Hi-Hiiragi... Emiya..." Without even thinking, she responded to him, which startled her, but no more so than Hibiki's abrupt appearance; yet another person wearing one of those things.
One would think she'd be used to Shunpo since she used something similar, but she remained quite jittery to it. Emi watched Hibiki out of the corner of her eye, wondering exactly why he was asking the man in front of her about "something interesting." but it was what he said afterward that interested her for the moment; his office needed rebuilding, not just fixing? Coupled with that, the burned down mansion made her wonder just what the hell had happened before she came here. After pondering that for a second --through Hibiki asking Hei about his clothes--, she remembered the other part of his question, and then realized what Hibiki had meant; she was the interesting thing. If she could have blushed more, she could have, and though her sword arm lowered slightly, she remained on guard while looking towards Hei. "I... wandered here... by accident... I didn't mean to intrude, I'm sorry... I'm not a villian." She shot a glance towards Akane. "I don't even know where "here" is." With this, she looked away and tried to move her ankle, but found that her ankle began throbbing with pain. "s**t..."

Akane Itsuki, Nanabantai-Taichō
Riku Ryuu of the Black Mist Mountains He chuckles when she raises the sword, not really threatened, "Don't worry, girl.. not here to hur-" Akane smirked at the appearance of Hei, and when his personal guards came he did another chuckle. "You should keep your dogs down, Hei. I don't mean any kind of disrespect. I came here because one of my members heard a scream," he explained, but figured the man wouldn't care for his explanation. Akane pulled his hood down, "It's Akane Itsuki, I was just promoted to Division Seven Captain by the C-four-six." He had explained all this while the man gave orders, and had sent out the message to the others. Akane sighed a bit when he asked the girl the same thing he just had before Hei came in with his security force. His attention turns at the pressure of Hibiki's; he felt it only a few times before, as they never really met. Akane kept his eyes closed, but gave the Captain a nod.
He could feel the pressure around Emiya, and it seemed that she was frightened at Hibiki's appearance. Akane figured it may be the first time she's witnessed someone do that. He listened to her explanation and put himself up for the explanation, "If you really did come from the Rukongai.. you're inside the Seireitei. If you're new here, then you've entered the Soul Society. We are Shinigami, we kill Hollows in the World of the Living, ya'know? Maybe?.. Well, anyways, this is the Hakase Estate.. not much left of it since those Sephira came and blew everything up, but it's still home for us." Akane saw her move her ankle, and the movement of her body showed that something was hurting. He looks between Hibiki and Hei, "I believe the... "PoI" here is hurt. She seemed to have pain when her ankle moved. Do we have a Fourth Division healer on the way to help?" Akane questioned to no one in particular, but expected Hei to be the one to know, so waited for him to be the answerer. [ Location: Bridge leading to the Ugendō ] ||OOC: N/a ||

619 Hakase Hei Jūnibantai Taichō Hei was not blind to the girl's blushing, certainly not at this proximity, and had decided that she was embarrassed because of him, or rather because she had seen him shirtless. It wasn't unheard of, he was a good-looking man after all. However, he decided not to embarrass the girl further by drawing attention to it and instead played the fool and ignored it. He smiled when she told him her name, he liked it, it had a nice sound to it. "Hei." He returned the favor, guessing that she did not need to hear his surname after hearing what Akane had said regarding the estate. Hei's gaze shifted to the side as Hibiki appeared on the scene, and when he spoke to him, Hei was prepared to tell him what it was all about when Hibiki noticed the yukata he was wearing. Hei paused after this, but kept his eyes fixated on Emi before he answered while biting his thumbnail. "No, you don't. I'm wearing it..." He said monotonously, a far cry from the emotional tone he had second before. "I am without clothes, as you can see, my house is gone. But, I'll buy you a new one later, if it's that important to you..." Afterward, Hei removed his finger from his mouth and shooed the subject away with the back of his hand, then blinked when Emiya swore. "May I?" He asked before taking her leg in hand, just above her ankle, and forcefully extending her leg until the ankle was sitting in his lap. Following this, he activated his eyes and switched the view to check her out. A sprain of the joint, no more than that and certainly not a fracture.
"It seems our visitor is human. A human with the ability to see us and escape from the Kōtotsu no less. And, judging by the way she holds a sword, I'd say she knows Kendo. Her body type is very athletically lean and suggests she has been in fit condition for quite a while now, and last but not least, I'd say, based on the feel I'm getting from her, she has powers that have to do with... that katana." As he spoke, he gently kneaded the area above her ankle, then lowered his hand and pointed his finger at the ground, which created a bandage that landed on the bridge next to him. It was courtesy of Bankin, which he had neglected the incantation for and stopped at the first song. Afterward, he plucked it off the ground, removed her shoe, and wrapped her ankle for her before placing it back in his lap once more by the time he was done talking. It was a temp job, so he had not bothered to do it completely thoroughly, but the wrap was enough to keep her foot immobile, and it would remain elevated over his leg. "Am I correct so far?" He asked her with a small smile, knowing he was right without needing her response. He then answered Akane quickly before returning his words to Hibiki once more. "A medic is on the way, yes. Anyway, I was thinking this might lift your spirits, news reporter-chan... It's not every day a Shinigami gets to meet a user of Fullbring." He nodded slowly, saying with his eyes that he was very much aware of what she was. She might have been new to others, but with the connections he had he had seen at least one before in his life. Many years ago... "Emiya, you remind me of my daughter, I wish she were here to see you..." His voice trailed off after this statement and after a second or two of silence, he picked up the bottle of alcohol, drank some, and then offered it to Hibiki without looking his way.

Haru Mori
Lieutenant, Fourth Division
Sereitei, Soul Society
[Enter from Sōgō Kyūgo Tsumesho]
"Mori-fukutaicho." A nurse called out.
At once, the napping Haru Mori snapped up and then looked around. He then realized that he fell asleep at the Documents Room of the Fourth Division. Several moments ago, he had been reviewing the profiles of the members of the Fourth Divison; and much to his frustration, he had to review the past patients of the healing ward. And quite sadly, most of them are gone due to the last "war" that broke around Soul Society. It was sad... once again, his thoughts began to raise back to his former captain, Elisia, who had ran away due to some heavy reason. Oh, how would he tell the colleagues of his former captain about her sudden departure.
"What is it?" Haru asked the nurse, who had opened the door to take a look at the still-sleepy lieutenant. Upon seeing Haru's dazed face, she blushed at once and became all flustered. "We've heard from Hei-taicho. He's summoned for the presence of... of... Elisia-taicho at the Ugendo." She added.
Haru gasped in shock and then stood up, crashing numerous papers across the floor of the rather small documents room. Why so sudden?! He didn't even hear the announcement?! Wait! He was a horrible sleeper. Cursing himself about his inability to sense an announcement, he began to rummage around the room for his things. The nurse gave a weak shriek of shock and then scuttled all over the floor to pick up the pieces of paper and all. This was the time he was fearing. Haru was shaken. Haru was scared. Who was there to support him? He wanted to cry but...
... now was not the time for crying.
"When was the call?" Haru asked at once.
"About several minutes ago, Haru-fukutaicho." She gasped as she picked up the papers and all. "We've tried to look all over for you but you weren't around so we have to scan the entire division. We believe it's somewhat urgent."
Haru nodded and then picked up his Zanpakuto from the table and then dashed as fast as he can towards the Ugendo. If he was right, it was before the Hakase estate near the Seventh Division. From time to time, he nodded in recognition to the Shinigami of the Fourth Division as he pased by; they said many things ranging from "hurry fukutaicho!" to "Where have you been, fukutaicho?!" But not even stopping, he rushed to the meeting place as a proxy for Elisia-taicho. Besides the pain of rushing, he felt another kind of pain as he neared the distance to Hei and the rest...
A pain of the heart...
After several more minutes of extreme running, the lieutenant finally reached the Ugendo. From the distance, he saw men from the Second Division's Onmitsukido, a girl with no reiatsu signature at all (and with a raised weapon against them), two captains and then the Twelfth Division captain. Slowly, Haru took a deep breath and then walked towards them and acknowledge his presence.
"Good day... c-captains..." Haru greeted gloomily. Damn it! Why now?!

Hibiki Kirisho
- Squad Nine Captain -
================================================
The gods trembled
The demons flockedHibiki could only grit his teeth at the man’s response ”Tch, fine.” he conceded, not really caring about the yukata as he preferred western clothes over them anyway ”Forget about it, wouldn’t want to trouble you.” he replied once more, this time to his proposal of buying him a new one. His sarcastic tone was dominant in his voice, but something besides that went along with it, something like regret or pity, emotions he was certain he’d never express for a man of such extreme arrogance. But, considering the circumstances he was hardly the haughty snob he had come to utterly hate. All of them had lost something in the war, for him it was his entire Squad complex and his pride as a Shinigami. For others, like the 4th Squad, the lost was much more than that, having had the most deaths among the Gotei 13. It must’ve been a harrowing ordeal for them. This man was no exception, his estate was in ruins, his wife is in a coma, and his daughter was reduced to pile of liquid metal. Thankfully Senka was unharmed, but still it was certainly a blow to his ego to have lost so much.
”Hiiragi Emiya, huh?” Hibiki repeated, the girl’s name having caught his attention, if only for the fact that it sounded like the names of two anime characters he had seen on television combined into one. Listening to the girl’s nervous explanation, Hibiki couldn’t help but feel sorry for her. He was going to explain her situation to her, but it seemed Akane was able to perform that task quicker than him. For Hibiki, she was most likely a recently deceased human soul, seeing as how she utterly had no clue where she was, something he could very much sympathize with, having gone through such an ordeal as well.
Shaking such ill thoughts from his mind, Hibiki turned to Akane to answer his question, until Hei’s unexpected revelation caused him to turn his attention back towards the girl ”A human? he repeated the words in disbelief ”No, that’s impossible. Only spiritual beings can enter Soul Society, hollows, pluses and Shinigami. The only way for a human to enter is to--“ he stopped once he remembered that the emergency Senkaimon in the apartment building was outfitted with a device that converted physical matter into spiritual matter ”The Senkaimon…” he muttered to himself, his eyes looking past Emi, as his mind slowly put the puzzle pieces together. Gritting his teeth, he listened to Hei’s reasoning for asking him to come here, of whom he was grateful as this was certainly news worthy information, but something else was on his mind.
Stepping forward, Hibiki took a sip from the bottle before giving it back to Hei. Now was not the time for drinking, but he wasn't one to turn down free stuff, even from his enemies. After that he then continued towards Emi, completely ignoring the Onmitsukio, Hibiki eyed Emi ”It seems you went through two oriental-designed sliding doors to get here, right? Let me guess, you found them on top of an abandoned apartment complex, it was most likely locked so I’m guessing you had to pick your way through the door or something.” he asked her, to confirm his suspicions ”After that, you most likely entered a dark and long hallway, the walls were like mud, correct, moving mud that is? And let’s not forget about the train-like thing that tried to run you over.” he continued, narrating her experience to see if she indeed used that specific Senkaimon ”Tell me, did you happen to come across a pair of guys somewhere about your age, wearing black shihakusho’s and hakama’s?” Hibiki asked her directly. Mitsuzuri and Gotou had yet to report back, both of them excelled in defensive tactics, so it was unlikely they were felled by a normal hollow. If that was the case, then he had to assume the worst case scenario, being that Emi killed them before accidentally entering Soul Society.
Of course, it may be simple paranoia on his part, but he wasn’t about to let such a catastrophe as the previous war happen again. And besides, Hei did tell them to watch out for suspicious people, and he was doing just that, in fact, he was interrogating one right now. A bit of enmity leaked out from Hibiki, just enough for the girl to realize that he wasn’t joking, he certainly wasn’t threatening her life, at the very least he would seem like a teacher interrogating a student who was caught cheating. However, what enmity he had was abruptly interrupted by Haru’s appearance, visibly nervous and exhausted.The winds were unleashed

779 [Ugendō bridge]
Akane's explanation didn't do much for her, in fact, the only word she really recognized from it was "Hollow." So they knew what Hollow were too? Such knowledge raised a red flag in the teenager's head, telling her that if they shared a common enemy, that maybe these people weren't so bad after all. Still, only Hei had showed her compassion since the moment they met, and everyone else seemed to be out to get her. She was having a hard time warming up to anyone else. As Akane kept speaking, his words were drowned out by Hei telling her his name in return, and then asking him "if he may." She did not realize what this meant until he grabbed her by her leg and pulled her it into his lap, causing her to let out a tiny shriek due to the suddenness of it all. She quickly quieted down for a moment as he spoke to her, then expressed her confusion when she saw a bandage magically appear where he pointed his finger. "Eh, nani?!" She whsipered hastily to herself while dropping her katana and pulling her hand to her chest in shock. It became much easier to ignore the fact that he was touching her leg when he started accurately pin-pointing things about her despite having only met her. When he asked if he was right, she nodded slowly in response, though wide-eyed now and then only more so seconds later when he suddenly said the name of her power like it was nothing.
Who was he really...? The ability to know all of that after just meeting her, it was a frightening ability. She watched him nod, but didn't feel any more at ease, at least not until he mentioned his daughter and how she reminded him of her. From the sound of it, she had died, or at least that's what she gathered from the way he spoke. "I-I'm sorry for your loss..." She finally managed to stammer out after a few seconds of awkward silence; other than that, she didn't know what else to say. Now all she could think about was the fact that Hei had referred to the other man as a "news reporter," and she suddenly felt on display to the entire world. It was at this point, after glancing down, that she realized why he had ordered his ninja to get clothes for her; her shirt was still wet enough to put her bra on display. And it wasn't just any bra, it was a black lace bra which showed through all the better and displayed to everyone present that she had a bit of a naughty streak; Emi wasn't exactly like that though, she wore it for Kuzumi, not for herself. Had it been up to her, they'd be bound by medical bandages and she wouldn't even be having this problem right now. In a split second, her arms flew to her chest, crossing over it to cover up her exposed areas as she turned red again, even though she had finally managed to calm herself down. Following this, she was reduced to sputtering nonsense while holding her chest tightly and trying not to fall over due to the awkward way she was sitting; one leg in Hei's lap and the other folded underneath it.
Then, in the midst of her full blown embarrassment, Hibiki had moved forward so suddenly that it was all she could do to stop herself from throwing herself backwards to get away. Actually, it was probably only the comfort radiating from Hei that stopped her from doing so. Emiya was rather tired of being so jittery, everything she was showing the strange people was the exact opposite of who she really was. But who could blame her, she was in a completely new dimension, apparently. Emi kept her eyes locked onto the ground as Hibiki spoke, and it wasn't until she heard him mention two guys that she actually looked up. "Y-yes... I mean, no, I-I don't know..." She stammered, returning her gaze to the floor while holding her chest tightly. "Th-there were m-more than two, and they... tried to do s-stuff to me..." At this point, recalling that moment that she had so eagerly locked away, tears began to well up in her eyes before attempted to explain herself a bit more. "And then the girl, and that guy, and m-more of them ch-chased me here..." After this, she moved her arm to her eyes, wiping away the tears with her sleeve before she returned it to her chest and tried to ignore Hibiki's frightening disposition. "I just want to go home..."

Akane Itsuki, Nanabantai-Taichō
Riku Ryuu of the Black Mist Mountains Akane watched Hei, listening briefly to the bout between Hei and Hibiki. He smiled to Hei when he actually replied. He was a bit surprised Hei even payed attention to what he was saying and asking, as he expected the man to blow him off like he did when at the apartments. Akane looks to Hibiki who had begun questioning the human. It was plausible that the human entered that way. At about the time Hibiki was done, Haru had entered the scene and he returned the small greeting with a smile and nod. Akane moves to Emiya, using the same voice used with Suzume when she was alive; kind, with truth, but firm. "Listen, Emiya, this is a Fourth Division member. The Fourth Division is based in healing. This man will help with your ankle, alright? If he hurt your ankle, it's probably because it's just part of the treatment. Now, as you're human, what he'll be doing will be new to you. Don't be afraid, and do what he asks, and your ankle will be just fine in minutes," he turns to Haru. He stands and does a small smile to the girl, "Would you heal this human now, Fukutaichō?"
Akane moved around Emiya and to Hei, he stands next to him and closes his eyes once again. He folds his arms back in his sleeves, "Hakase-sama, listen.. I'm not going to say I know your pain right now, but I can get what you're going through. A daughter that you lost; Tsukiko. A childhood friend and lover I lost; Suzume. Don't drink down the pain. You're the <********> Twelfth Division Captain; now, get up and do some science-y stuff so you don't have to live without her. If you can't, then you can say you've tried. If you've tried... well, I'm sorry for being like an a*****e. I'm not much of one to talk, as I can't really bring back Suzu.." He puts his hood back over his head, "Good day Hei Hakase, Twelfth Division Captain. Hibiki, notify me of news, I'm sure you'll be quickest. I need to find Captain Harasawa, and finalize my Bankai." He walks off the bridge, "Too bad that girl has no spiritual pressure for me.. I could've tracked her with my eyes." He shunpo's away, leaving with a wave of the hand. He figured form the start the girl didn't care for him, so leaving her would leave less stress on a girl dropped in to a dimension of Samurai-like warriors with magical abilities trying to capture her -- run-on sentencing.

Haru Mori
Lieutenant, Fourth Division
Sereitei, Soul Society
Haru was startled by the sudden acknowledgement of Akane and the slight greeting of the Ninth Division captain. When Akane turned to Haru, he requested him to heal the human girl named Emiya. The Fourth Division lieutenant nodded in agreement and then went to the girl and then smiled at her upon meeting her eyes. "Good day, Hiiragi-chan." Haru greeted with a gentle tone. "I'm Mori Haru. As Itsuki-taicho said earlier, I am a member of the Fourth Division; we specialize in healing. In the Human World, we are known as the medical specialists. We are the doctors and nurses of Sereitei." He added with a warm smile, much contrasting to the rather saddened mood of Hei. Haru then wondered when he should tell the Twelfth Division captain?
Then, Haru pulled a piece of cloth from his backpack (or medical specialist's pack or something) and then held it out towards Emiya. Slowly and not attempting to burst her personal bubble, he gently wiped the tears off her face. "I know you really want to go home but at this state you'd be in trouble in a matter of moments." He said softly, making a vague smile. "You can't even properly move around so you need to be tended to at the moment. Now, I will be casting you some healing Kido so stay still, 'kay?"
After that, Haru reached out to her ankle and then thought of the most applicable Chiyudo to apply to her ankle. After a moment of silence, the medic then proceeded on what he should do. "Chiyudō #025: Nekki Ryōji." He said softly. With a short burst of reiryoku, the Chiyudo began to work its mechanics. The warm-natured Kido began to relieve the muscles around Emiya's ankle and all. And slowly but surely, the slight swelling began to decrease.
"Hakase-taicho..." Haru suddenly began, not even turning a glance at the Twelfth Division captain. "Elisia-taicho..." It was so difficult to say. What would Tsukiko say? What would the Shinigami of other squads say? What would happen? "...she left." He simply said, not even wanting to elaborate the entirety of the event with one moment at Hei.

1032 Hakase Hei Jūnibantai Taichō Hei managed a blink to Emiya's comment of being sorry for his loss. It occurred to him now that he had come off that way, making it sound like she was dead by the way he said what he did. At the time, it had just been the easiest way to express that she was not Tsukiko anymore, but something else entirely. But then, saying that would have brought up the fact that she had not been "Tsukiko" for several years, but instead his daughter confined to a metal body, and that would have been confusing to relay in words. Putting aside Emiya's misguided, though understandable, statement regarding Tsukiko's status, Hei nodded and accepted her statement for the time being while the others began to speak. In some way, he was relieved that Hibiki had stopped talking about the yukata, mostly because such trivial things would not help the situation. That was that though, his interrogation bringing Emiya to tears was another matter entirely. "Enough." He extended his hand lazily, placing it between Hibiki and Emiya and keeping it relatively limp. "You're scaring her, I highly doubt she had anything to do with your underlings, and I doubt she'd be able to fight off some Shinigami. If she could, she wouldn't have been running away." In the interest of keeping her out of harm's way, he was mum to the fact that she probably could have killed them, still, he did not believe she had. Now he was more worried about the fact that she had almost been violated, but there was little he could about that at the moment.
Without making an unnecessary movement to draw attention to himself, he dropped his arm onto his knee, draped it over it and let his fingers brush up against her leg. With zero sexual desire present or any intent to be inappropriate, he rubbed her leg lightly with his fingertips through her pants. He knew well enough about the human mind that the gentle touch would have calming effects on her; it was how he got Yuki to calm down, and more importantly how he got Senka and Tsukiko through their nightmares, bad moods and the like. After a while he paused, not only because he thought the length of time was sufficient, but also because Akane had begun to lecture him. Perhaps he had a valid reason for doing so, but in the end Hei felt it unnecessary. Still, his head was far from wanting to lash out at others right now, so he kept quiet through his speech, hanging his head and staring at the ground. "All right." He said half-heartedly in response as he began to walk away, and then pulled his hand out of the way when Haru went to heal her and began to speak to her as well. For now, Hei leaned up against the railing next to him and listened to him in between drinks. It wasn't until he was taking the last sip of the sake in the bottle that he heard "she left" enter his ears for his brain to make sense of. He noticeably paused at this revelation, keeping the sake bottle at his lips for a second before he finally put it down. From the way Haru said it, he knew he didn't mean she left to run errands, it was something far more... drastic.
He couldn't exactly say this came as a surprise for him, actually. Her medical prowess and love for his daughter aside, Hei had honestly never seen her as a strong woman. Yuki, Nu, Eriko at times, they were all strong willed, but Elisia, she was far too worrisome; he knew this day would come eventually. By his reasoning, she had left because of Tsukiko, though he did not know where she might have gone to. He figured this would actually work out for the better, despite what others might think. Elisia likely thought Tsukiko was dead, but the truth remained she just had to be implanted into a new body, the catch was that she would no longer have a single memory due to the fact that there existed no back-up other than the ones in the lab's database. With that gone, Tsukiko wouldn't even know she was married, had a sister, or any of those things, so Hei believed it was far better for Elisia to believe Tsukiko was dead. the grief of being forgotten would be a lot worse, and it was something both Hei and Yuki would have to deal with soon. "If that's what she chose to do then..." For the time being, he couldn't bring himself to comment further, and instead left Haru with that single statement before moving his attention back to the matter at hand. "Emiya-chan... Would you like to come inside, and maybe lie down?" He looked up, and as if right on cue, the two Onmitsukido he had sent off returned carrying a stack of Yuki's clothes. They set them down next to him, and even without looking he knew that there were shirts and pants with undergarments hidden beneath them. He did not tell them this, but later he would have to erase their memories of touching Yuki's undergarments; he was the jealous type after all. "I understand if you don't feel comfortable with that, me being an old man and all, but... With me, you're at least very, very safe. Plus, there's no where else for you to go, I don't think." He then motioned to the stack of clothes as the Onmitsukidō moved away, all of them for that matter. "Either way, you can have these clothes if you want, but if you come in I can wash yours. I'll blindfold myself if you want too. I have food too... Your choice." For the moment, he let out a yawn and slumped back up against the railing while he let her consider his offer. He assumed Hibiki would be leaving soon so it shouldn't matter all that much if they left him anyway. Also, it had been several minutes since he sent out the notice, so he was beginning to doubt if anyone else was even here.
