((Awesome pic. yet again. xD I am seriously jealous of you with that whole editting thing xD!! So how should we start out? To the Bleach world? Or just about going to? And the oh-so-famous question, who shall start? xD))

[xxShyGrlxx]

((Yeah, but I missed a few spots. Its annoying, I can always edit a picture for you. I wouldn't mind. ^-^ We can start out when they find themselves in the bleach world, and you can start! x3))

[Aki_Chan_15]

((Ooo! That'd be awesome!! Mind changing my pic? Clickie! (http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z274/xXVidiniaXx/anime-4.jpg)
That's the link if you need it. And do you think you can change her hair to black, and the bow to a sorta dark red? You can take all the time in the world! I don't mind waiting! ^^ And sure thing! xD))

Ash grunted slightly as she found herself on the floor. "Oooow..." She whined. After finding a mysterious box, and being suddenly warped into it, it sure was worse than a roller coaster. She fluttered her eyes open wondering where she was. "K-Karin...?" She asked, wondering if her friend was with her. She didn't want to be alone, and worst of all she didn't even know where she was. All she saw was blue skies, and a giant door in front of them. "W-What...?" She stammered silently to herself feeling a sudden headache.

[xxShyGrlxx]

((I'll try. ^-^ Sometimes the black doesnt work right, and it only comes out to gray. But, I'll make it work! I'll finish it soon. x3))

Karin's eyes quickly opened, "Cake!" she cried out, but realized she wasn't dreaming any more. She looked around, then over at Ash. "Ash, what's going on?" she wondered, as her vision began to blur. A sudden headache had made it's way in her head, "Ugh, Where are we?" she asked.

[Aki_Chan_15]

((It's ok! If you can't get the black, then a grey would be cool. x3 Thanks so much! And HAHA, I want cake now. xD!!))

Shaking her head, Ash placed a hand to her forehead and sighed. "I...I don't know...but the doors look rather familiar..." She muttered viewing the rather huge doors. Looking behind her, she noted houses of some sort, and wandering people staring at them with disbelief. "Wherever we are...I d-don't we're wanted..." She added quietly with another small glance back at the doors.

It was another normal day, and for Kyouraku, he was simply at ease sleeping on his division's roof. His straw hat silhouetting his face, and his haori blanketing him as he napped. Or at least pretended to when he was suddenly disturbed from his sleep. "Captain! There's supposedly two figures just outside Soul Society doors, should we take action?" Nanao asked quickly demanding a responce. "Nn, I bet their harmless, Nanao-chan. Let one of the other divisions handle it, like 3rd. I bet they got nothing to do." He replied lazily with a smile hidden under his hat. "But you aren't doing anything either!!" Scolded Nanao, but she immediately rushed off as he began to pretend to snore loudly.

[xxShyGrlxx]

((I got the black hair! The small strands of hair were hard to get, so there a tad messy. I just need to work on the bow and it will be finished! ^-^))

"Psh," Karin stood up and looked around at the people who stared at them. "Oh em gee. I know where we are!" she cried out happily. "Im so happy I forgot where were at!" she exclaimed as she happily kicked and punched the air. "All I know is that, those doors lead to the sierete!" she squealed as she picked Ash up and hugged her tightly. "This is a dream come true," she sighed as she dropped Ash again. "I get to see Shunsui! I hope." she muttered, now saddened.

[Aki_Chan_15]

((Awesome! Yay! xD Can't wait to see it!!))

Ash was completely in a shocked state. "Wha!? B-But that's illogical! We can't possibly be in t-the Bleach world!" She stammered absolutely shocked. She flinched as she looked up to see a strange looking giant opening the door. Blinking her wide-eyes, she stuttered, "J-J-Jidanbo...?" She nearly felt as if she were going to pass out soon. Which was highly possible.

[xxShyGrlxx]

((Here ya go! Hope you like it: http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh268/_Sosuke_Aizen_/anime-4-1.jpg))

Karin grinned, "This is sooo cool!" she clapped her hands together happily. "What if we become soul reapers?! What if we get to be in a squad, and maybe I'll even be with Shunsui..Ohh, that hunk." Karin sighed dreamily, she was becoming over excited. "This is so awesome!" she exclaimed as she looked up at Jidanbo. He really is tall. Karin thought. ._.

[Aki_Chan_15]

((OMG!!!!! That's awesome!!! I absolutely praise you!!! xD It's great! Thank you so much!!! -HUGZ!-))

Still feeling as if she were going to faint, Ash fell to her knees. She had to admit, being in the Bleach world would be rather a thrill, but what about their home? What about her family? What was she going to do if they began to worry about her?! "K-Karin? S-Shouldn't we-" She started her shaky words till Jidanbo spoken up.
"What do you two need?" He asked in his low voice but glanced down at Karin. Raising an eyebrow he asked, "Orihime-san?" Luckily his memory wasn't quite that good but Karin did sort've have the look of Orihime.
Ash simply stared at them. 'Was this really happening!?' She thought to herself wanting to just scream out and hopefully wake up in her room.

[xxShyGrlxx]

((Haha, your welcome! Im willing to do another one if you'd like. ^-^))

Karin stared up at Jidanbo in shock, Haha. He thinks im Orihime! she thought. She decided to use this as an advantage to get inside the seiretie. With her amazing acting skills, she smiled cutely and waved at Jidanbo. "That's me!" she exclaimed, almost exactly getting Orihime's voice right.

[Aki_Chan_15]

((That'd be awesome! I'll ask if I can find another pic that needs editting. x3 Thank you so much again!))

Ash blinked as Karin began her acting stunt. 'Is she really going on with this!?' She wondered but figured it best to stay quiet. Walking up to her, she stood silently behind her hiding herself from the tall giant that she already began to fear.
"It is you! It's been a long time Orihime-san!" He bellowed with a grin. "I can never repay you for healing my wounds that one time...what're you doing here in Rukongai?" He asked curiously.

[xxShyGrlxx]

((Okiedokie, and your welcome! x3))

Karin's eye twitched slightly, Why am I here..Why am I here? she wondered. "Just visiting," she smiled. "I want my friend to see all the wonderful people here." she answered. "And plus, as weird as it seems. I woke up, and 'poof!' I found myself right infront of this gate!" she replied, using hand singles to make it seem like she was actually Orihime.

[Aki_Chan_15]

Ash slightly smiled as she waved nervously. "H-Hello..." She murmured quietly before letting Karin continue her act.
Jidanbo, actually convinced of her little scheme, laughed heartfully and nodded. "Everyone in Soul Society would be pleased to see you again! And your friend is welcomed too! Just don't cause any trouble for the captains or anyone else alright?" He warned with a grin before heaving the gates to open slightly enough for them to go through.
Gasping, Ash stared at Karin with disbelief. "You actually did it Karin!" She whispered before glancing back to Jidanbo again.

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin laughed and saluted Jidanbo, "I wont and that's a promise. I'll see you again, Jidanbo!" Karin smiled before walking through the gates. She was amazed, "I did didn't I?" she asked. "Do I really look like Orihime?!" she asked as she looked over at Ash.

[Aki_Chan_15]

Following closely behind Karin, Ash sighed silently. She blinked as she was suddenly asked the question and threw her hands up in a slight surrender. "Um, not particularily...b-but you do look somewhat like her..." She replied weakly with a grin. She looked around Seireitei and felt as though her jaw fell off of it's hinges. "W-Wow..." She muttered quietly blinking at the sight of many buildings. "Where do you think we should go...?" She asked quietly looking around the place with amazed eyes.

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin blinked, "Oh, but im still beautiful right?" she asked. "Yes, Yes I am," she grinned, answering her own foolish question. She snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Ash. "I say we go to squad 8's head quarters. I want to see Shinsui!"

[Aki_Chan_15]

Ash slightly laughed as she answered her own question. She was about to answer, with a normal stuttery reply, but figured best not. "Oh, um should we really? W-Why not go to the 1st division...the General-Commander would probably be able to sort out this whole thing..." She explained weakly with a small voice. She had to admit, there was one person that she wanted to see. But she was just a random girl popping out of no where. What else was she going to say when she encountered him.

[xxShyGrlxx]

"Yuck, Head captain Yama?" she whined. "I hate that old man. I guess your right, let's go." she exclaimed as she headed towards the 1st squad's headquarters. She tried to remember exactly where it was.

[Aki_Chan_15]

Ash blinked amazed at her friend's leniancy. "Y-You really should call him like that, he is after all a very strong elder." She explained in a rushed tone. She looked at the buildings, reading their numbers and noted the rather large one ahead of them with the symbol '1' in Kanji. "S-Should we go in?" She stammered quietly, wondering what her spontaneous friend Karin would do next.

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin rolled her eyes, "You goody-goody," she smiled. "Yeah, but first. We knock!" she exclaimed, she then knocked on the door, making it into a small tune. She stopped herself from beating on the door with both hands - it was a common habbit for her. I hope we get put into squad, and..And maybe I'll be in squad 8 with Shunsui and Nanao! she thought happily.

[Aki_Chan_15]

((Gotta go to bed Dx Got another dentist appointment tomorrow...x_x But again, I'll be on! ^^ Curse these dentists!!! Dx))

[xxShyGrlxx]

((Aw okay. What's up with all these dentists appointments? o.O. Hope your on early tomorrow. x3 Bye bye!))

[Aki_Chan_15]

((Back! And seriously. -.-' Yesterday, they x-rayed my teeth, then today they had to clean 'em. My gums are starting to feel seriously numb. ><'))

Blushing slightly, Ash smiled weakly and bowed her head slightly. "Uh, y-yes, sorry." She watched as Karin knocked on the door, and waited patiently for the door to open. 'Perhaps...I may be on the same squad as Mr. Izuru...' She thought to herself properly, but even just a simple thought made her blush. She jumped slightly as the door opened slightly.
Revealing the lieutenant of 1st division, Chojiro Sasakibe. "Yes? What do you need?" He asked staring down at the two.
Hiding behind Karin once more, she waited for her to speak. It was shameful that she didn't have any backbone...that she was sure of.

[xxShyGrlxx]

((Yeesh. I hate the dentists. >< Are you finally done with the Dentist? xD))

Karin stared up at Chojiro, and snickered a bit. He looks like a butler.. she thought. She then blinked, and looked back at Chojiro.
"We would like to become soul reapers, Chojiro-fukutaichou." Karin exclaimed firmly. She felt horribly stupid right now. What was she supposed to ask anyways, ah well. Karin liked the idea of becoming a soul reaper. As long as she would be on Shunsui's squad.

[Aki_Chan_15]

((No, I gotta go again on April 4th. Dx WHAAAA!! Though, at least I get to skip a part of school. x]))

Ash quickly nodded obediently as Karin spoke. But frowned slightly as Chojiro simply laughed.
"You must be kidding, right? You can't be soul reapers just like that." He explained but froze immediately as soon came the Commander General Yamamato came near. Holding his cane, he smiled slightly before looking at the two. "You'd like to becoe soul reapers, is that so?" He asked gruffly.

[xxShyGrlxx]

((Ah, That sucks. Do you have to go tomorrow too? ><))

Karin glared slightly, What a jerk. I thought he was the nice and kind one.. she thought. As Head captain Yamamoto approached, she stared in disbeleif.
"Yes sir!" Karin boomed with determination. "It has been my dream, along with Ash." she said as she finally moved to the side, so Ash wasn't hiding anymore.
"If you allow us to become soul reapers, I promise you wont be dissapointed. We did have our studies. But we did not go to the soul reaper academy." she explained. Haha, thank goodness for T.V. she thought happily.

[Aki_Chan_15]

((Seriously, but thankfully no. I don't have to go tomorrow...YAY!!!!))

Nodding quickly, Ash bowed her head seeing as how Karin had moved out of the way. She was about to simply moved behind her once more, but figured that she needed to be more...'brave'. Or at least have more courage. "Y-Yes...we've both s-studied very well...and w-wish to become soul reapers...please." She stuttered weakly yet politely. Her soft voice already a small whisper.
Yamamato looked at the two. "Studied without going to Soul Reaper academy, you say...?" He asked stroking his chin slightly. "Of course, before we should sort you, we should test you. To see what division you'd both be grouped in well." He explained before turning around and walking back inside. With a hand motion, he asked for them to follow him.
Looking to Karin, she asked her quietly, "Karin! There going to test us! What if we don't have any powers?" Her voice was like a whisper and shrill.

[xxShyGrlxx]

((YAY! x3))

Karin grinned, "Thank you, sir!" she exclaimed happily. She then looked over at Ash and put an arm around her shoulder. "Take a chill pill," she smiled calmly. "How many people get sucked into the t.v and are in their favorite tv show?" she asked. "Not alot. We must be somethin' special. Plus, you don't see many girls looking like Orihime Inoue do you? And well..For you, your freakishly rich and kind. I think I know what powers you might have.." she drifted off as she followed Yamamoto.
She had wondered what her powers would be if she had any. Shape-shifting? Freakish strength? Spells, or what? She had then thought about what kind of test this may be. Hopefully, it wasn't a paper sort of test. Karin hated those.

[Aki_Chan_15]

((Seriously! I really don't wanna go have someone pulling instruments into my mouth. It's painful. Dx))

Sighing, Ash grinned weakly. "Um, v-very well I suppose..." She muttered quietly. She had to wonder what she meant by the 'powers she had'. She was like what she said. A 'rich' and kind person. She was completely weak. She scowled at the fact. Opening her mouth to speak, she was immediately cut off my Yamamato, and quickly shut her mouth tightly.
"Very well then." He started showing to them that they were in a green field like yard with targets about a mile away. "Simple task. I want you two to use any type of kido, and hit the target. Simple am I right? You may begin when you are ready." He explained quickly.
Ash looked to Karin. "W-Would you like to go first K-Karin?" She asked quietly with a small grin.

[xxShyGrlxx]

((Man, girl what did you do to your teeth?! o.o))

Karin gulped and glanced down at Ash.
"Sure, why not." she answered somewhat bitterly. She stepped forward and closed her eyes. Okay, I'll do that one spell Momo does. Just got to remember.. she told herself.
She raised her hand, and held it up so the palm faced directly at the target. She opened her eyes and stared at the target as she placed her other hand on her wrist. "Shot of red fire!" she called out. To her amazement, a ball of fire shot out of her hand and flew towards the target. Having poor, hand and eye cordnation. Karin had only hit the side of the target. But atleast she did it, and was actually able to produce a Kudo.
"..Meep.." Karin squeaked, burning her hand in the process of the spell. She twitched slightly as she looked at Ash, then over at Yamamoto.

[Aki_Chan_15]

((ROFL, nothing! It's just that my lower teeth are a bit crowded so they trying to forcefully clean them so that not much bacteria would be stuck between them. Ugh, annoying, know? Dx))

Ash grew wide-eyed. She was amazed that she was even able to perform Kido. Maybe anything was possible in the current world they were in.
"Impressive." He commented with a nod of his head. "How about you small one?" He asked nodding towards Ash.
Blinking, Ash looked to Karin before nodding her head weakly. "Uh, o-ok..." She muttered, before stepping forward and staring at the far targets. She felt as though her legs were going to go weak and she would fall.
Breathing deeply she strained her mind wondering if she would be possible to remember anything from her research on constant computer searches. "B-Bya...kurai?" She stuttered but frowned as she saw a small and simple spark of white lightning come from her finger. "I...I'm sorry..." She muttered before bowing politely down to Yamamato.
"Hm...not a problem. Onto the next task, shall we?" He shrugged starting down one hallway and once more motioning for them to follow.

[xxShyGrlxx]

((My lower teeth are crowded too! My dentist doesn't do any thing about it. He just cleans them. -_- I seriously need braces. Dx))

Karin saddened a bit. She needs to focus. She would've got it if she didn't stutter. She told herself with a sigh. Karin began to follow after Yamamoto as she put an arm around Ash and brought her next to her.
"Hey, don't be upset. You just need to focus more. I'm sure you'll become a shinigami too." she smiled, reassuringly. She then hissed in pain, she gripped onto her right wrist and looked down into the palm of her hand. In the center of her palm, it was slightly blackened and red from being burned. It was very agitating, and painful. But Karin had tried to ignore it and act tough. She was just that stubborn.
I wonder what squad I'll be on, and what rank.. she wondered, trying to get her mind of the pain in her hand.

[Aki_Chan_15]

((Yeah! Me too! Just now, dentists start thinking about fixing that problem. Dx So expensive too...x_x'))

Looking down at the ground, she looked up to Karin and grinned slightly. "Thanks. Guess it was my fault...as usual." She muttered with a weak laugh. Sighing slightly, she looked to Yamamato as he stopped.
"The next task, I want you to heal a few shinigamis that have fought after a risky battle." He explained, pulling a curtain and revealing two wounded shinigamis. They looked rather beaten up, and a sudden urge came through Ash as she wanted so much to help them. But she resisted.
"Who would like to go first?" He asked looking from Ash to Karin.

[xxShyGrlxx]

((Oh. I need to go back to the dentists soon. Though, we cant afford it. We're pretty low on money. ><))

Karin smiled faintly, and looked down at Ash.
"Why dont you go first?" she asked. "I know, you'll be able to heal them." she exclaimed. She somehow knew, that Ash would be able to do it too. Judging by how sweet and caring Ash was. It was clear that she would probably be on squad 4. For Karin, ever since she was a little girl she would always expirement on things. Animals, insects. She also Idolized Mayuri Kurotsuchi..Which is odd. "Go on, Ash. Heal 'em." she encouraged.
Karin remembered one time, when she was about 14 she did her make up as Mayuri and scared the crap out of little kids on halloween night.

[Aki_Chan_15]

((><' Tell me about it. We're sorta the same. Dx It's soooo hard. It was like 200 something dollars too! X_x For today and yesterday...sooo about 400 in all....X_X))

Ash blinked and nodded with a small smile. "Alright. Thank you." She said before bowing to Karin, which even she had to admit was rather strange.
Walking up to one of the patients, she went onto her knees. She blinked seeing as how she didn't have anything like bandages or, some medical supplies. "Umm...what should I use...?" She asked confused looking up at Yamamato.
"Your skills of course." He replied with a weary smile.
Suddenly feeling overwhelmed, she scowled at her luck. Looking to the patient, she shook her head. 'No, I have to heal this guy. He looks pretty beaten up anyways.' She thought to herself, boosting her confidence by a bit.
Placing her hands over the victim's head, and heart she breathed in. 'Maybe if I concentrate on their mind, and pulse, then maybe some miracle will happen like Karin...' She thought to herself with a small smile. Breathing steadily, she closed her eyes tighter as she felt something emit from her hands. A white glow engulfed her hands, and began to lightly heal the victims wounds slowly.
After a few minutes, of pure patience she watched as the victim opened his eyes, and blinked a few times. Grinning at her success, she quickly got up, and went to Karin once more. "I actually did it!" She exclaimed quietly with a small clap. She was so proud of herself.

[xxShyGrlxx]

((400 dollars in all? Sheesh. ><))

Karin smiled, she had suddenly felt slightly jealous of Ash.
"Good job, Ash," she replied. "I told you, you could do it." she said. She was happy to see that Ash, was grinning and not shy and queit about it like she always was.
After congradulating Ash, Karin had turned her attention over to Yamamoto. "What's next?" she asked. Hoping this was the end of the test, but she had a slight feeling that it wasn't quite over yet.

[Aki_Chan_15]

((Yeah, it's actually like 1,000 though but either way...money's down the drain. ><''))

Ash smiled as she was complimented. "Thanks!" She laughed quietly, before turning around to face Yamamato.
"Right. The next part of the test, is combat. I want you to-" He started but blinked as he was interupted by a voice.
"Hey Old Yama." The ever flamboyant Shunsui, called in while lifting his straw hat. "Rumor has it, that your testin' a few wannabe soul reapers." He laughed before noticing the two. "Oh, I see you're still testing them." He continued to slightly grin.
"Yes...and I was about to test them on their combat skills." Yamamato replied ignoring the fact that he was not called by properly.

Looking to Karin, Ash smiled slightly. 'Boy, she's probably really happy, now.' She thought to herself, with a small smile.

((Sorry I'm taking a while to post. xD Watching a movie and posting is hard. x'D))

[xxShyGrlxx]

((o.O))

Karin stared at Shunsui in awe. Oh my god! she thought happily. She bit her lip and tried not to have a fit of joy.
"Hey wait a minute!" she cried out, realizing Shunsui had called them a wannabe. "Who are you callin' a wannabe!?" she asked.
She hated being called a wannabe, a poser, a faker, or anything along those lines. That always got her pumped up and ready to slap someone in their face. She clenched her fists in anger, but then again happiness.

[Aki_Chan_15]

((Ok, hopefully I'll be more concentrated now. xD))

Ash blinked as Karin exclaimed that. 'Oh wow...did she really say that?' She wondered but smiled weakly instead.

Blinking, Shunsui smiled at the girl that yelled out her exclamation. He could tell that she was a 'fiery' one. "You two to be exact. It's not often two girls randomly want to be soul reapers." He explained with a slight chuckle.

Staring at Shunsui, Yamamato cleared his throat. "Now, your next task is to do combat fighting. You may choose your own opponent if you'd like..." He explained giving yet another weary smile.

Ash stared at them with a slightly confused look. 'Fight...?' She wondered if she really had to. Who was she going to fight? Karin!? Of course, she forbade the thought immediately.

[xxShyGrlxx]

((Okie dokie. ^^))

Karin blinked, she stared at Shunsui a bit longer before looking over at Yamamoto. "Does it matter who we chose? Im guessing if I said I wanted to fight a captain or something that would be a no no right?" she asked. "
So..My only choice would be..Ash?" she hoped it wasn't true. She didn't want to hurt Ash.

[Aki_Chan_15]

((xD Yeah, strangely watching Mean Girls distracted me. Amusing how that works xD!!))

Both Shunsui and Yamamato had to blink as she spoke. "A captain?" They basically spoke in unison.
"A captain would be a little too much, now wouldn't you think?" Shunsui laughed slightly with a smile.
"It really is your choice though. But, your friend would be a smart opponent." Yamamato added looking at the two.

Ash blinked. "B-But...I...I couldn't." She whispered quietly, looking at Karin. "I'd rather not hurt a...a potential soul reaper...i-it's against the rules to hurt e-each other isn't it?" She asked still quietly. Her words seemed like a slurred mutter as she spoke quickly and rushed.

[xxShyGrlxx]

((Ooh. I never seen that movie. xD))

Karin shook her head, "There is no way im fighting Ash!" she exclaimed. "I definetly dont want to hurt her, No way." Karin stated. She looked down at Ash with a slightly saddened expression. "If there's anyone I want to fight, It's Byakuya Kuchiki. But knowing the risks, why dont I fight you?" she said with a confident smirk as she pointed at Shunsui. Knowing that he would probably be weak fighting against a girl. Easy as Pie.. she thought.

[Aki_Chan_15]

((xD It's hilarious! So much about the 'Girl World' though...interesting fights however. xD))

Blinking, Shunsui tilted his head as he pointed to himself before looking around. "Me? Well, isn't this an honor." He smiled charmingly before stepping forward. "You sure you don't want anyone else? I can always ask for someone else that's bored to fight you." He explained still with a smile on his face.

Ash sighed slightly. She would've predicted that, she'd choose him. But she smiled nonetheless.
"And who might you want to fight?" Yamamato asked, as he had suddenly appeared next to her. Of course, using flashstep.
Ash flinched at the sudden voice, and quickly bowed. "U-Umm, i-if you wouldn't mind...I-I presume I'd like to fight M-Mr. Lieutenant Kira Izuru..." She said softly, and politely. Too politely as she added too many headings for him. "B-But if he's far too busy, I-I g-guess I can just watch..." She added quickly feeling dizzy and light headed all of a sudden.
Yamamato stroked his chin. "Izuru, huh? I guess I will ask for him..." He murmured calmly, before looking to his lieutenant who was nearby. Bowing, he nodded and used flash step to go send for him.
Ash slightly jumped. "Y-You really didn't need to go through the trouble!" She exclaimed but quieted down as he smiled warmly at her. "Do not worry." Was his simple answer before she quieted down and nodded.

[xxShyGrlxx]

((Oooh. I see. xD))

Karin smiled, "Cut it out. I want to fight you and that's final." she stated as she placed her hands on her hips. She had realized, she did not have a sword. So I guess I'll just be like Chad against Shunsui. But I don't have freakish strength, and hopefully I dont nearly get myself killed. She thought as she closed her eyes. She listened in on Yamamoto and Ash's small conversation. "Izuru, huh? Go figure." Karin murmured under her breath as she smiled at Ash.

Izuru was infact not busy at all, he had just finished delevering papers to another captain. Right now, he was free and able to just roam around.

[Aki_Chan_15]

((Yep, pretty funny though, since 'Girl World's kinda like a jungle. xD))

Shunsui smiled and shrugged. "Well, guess I really should be honored to fight a pretty lady as yourself." He said stoically with a wink. "Looks like you don't have a zanpakuto though...how do you expect to fight?" He asked rather curiously, figuring that it would only be fair that he didn't fight with his zanpakuto. Of course, being the gentleman that he was, he wasn't going to think of arming his sword at her. It was unlike him to do so.

Ash noticed Karin, and smiled sheepishly. 'Eep! She probably knows...' She thought to herself, feeling a slight blush appear on her face. Sitting down obediently she waited with her hands on her lap, for Kira to come.

Flashstepping most of his ways, Chojiro finally found Izuru. "Lieutenant! You're needed by the Commander-General. I recommend you go see him right away." He explained before going back.

[xxShyGrlxx]

((xD))

Karin's face turned a slight red as he complimented her. Finally snapping out of a daze, she looked at Shunsui with a small frown.
"Well," she sighed. Then grinned, and punched a fist outwards toward Shunsui. "I have my fists, and my legs. Not only that, I can perform Kido's. I dont need a zanpakuto." she exclaimed. Sounding a bit to c*cky.

Izuru blinked, not able to speak to Chojiro before he vanished. He let out a sigh, "Oh, I hope im not in trouble," he thought in slight worry. He then began running towards the squad 1 barracks.

[Aki_Chan_15]

"Well, you're pretty determined aren't you?" Shunsui asked with a small grin. "Very well, ladies first I guess." He said with a calm bow of his head and waited for her attack. What'll she use? Kido? Or simple combat? He wondered curiously, waiting with a patient smile.

Watching with Yamamato, Ash smiled at her friend. "Go Karin!" She encouraged in a whisper, before giving a small grin. She blinked as she overheard Chojiro - who returned - telling Yamamato that Izuru would supposedly join them soon. Feeling her cheeks lighten, she bowed her head. 'What was I thinking? Fighting him?' She scowled immediately. She was doomed.

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin smirked, and stood still for a moment. She had always wanted to try to flashstep. But she decided to wait. She quickly ran towards Shunsui as she thought of a plan. If he were to simply slash a sword at her, she would simply flip back - being flexible, from taking gymnastic classes. "Take this!" she cried out as she jumped up, and did a fancy twirl as she tried landing a kick on Shunsui's face.
((Wish I could do that. T.T))

Izuru had soon appeared, seeing Yamamoto, his leuitenant. Two strange girls and Shunsui. "What's going on?" he asked, as he tried catching his breath.

[Aki_Chan_15]

((xD It's pretty fun. Self defence and karate is awesome. x]))

Shunsui simply continued to smile. She seemed rather determined, and fiesty. Blocking her kick with his arm, it only felt like a light tap. "Seems like you should have some more training." He pointed out, looking down at her. "I'll let you have another chance." He explained before jumping back to give them some distance for her next attack.

Looking back to see Izuru, Yamamato smiled. "Ah, Izuru. Finally you've arrived." He said as if it had been an hour past or something. "You've been chosen to fight against this young lady. It'll determine whether she'll be a soul reaper or not." He explained waving his hand towards Ash.
Ash, seeing that Izuru had arrived, immediately scrambled to her feet and bowed hesitantly. "I-It is an h-honor to meet you, Mr. Lieutenant Kira Izuru." She quickly said feeling her cheeks redden. She felt like a complete idiot. Again with the way too many headings.

[xxShyGrlxx]

((Yep. xD))

Karin landed back on her feet, and stared at Shunsui. I was better off fighting Mayuri.. she thought with a pout of her lips. Karin narrowed her eyes, I could always try flashstep. I mean, just close your eyes..And focus on your feet. Karin thought. She let out a soft sigh, and shifted her feet to the side. She then opened her eyes, and found herself behind Shunsui?! "No way," she thought in amazement, she did it. She flash-stepped! That was a dream come true. She then clenched her fists, and decided to give a kick right in the back of Shunsui's knee.

Izuru blinked, Fight a girl? I-i cant do that..Especially not her. She looks so sweet. He thought, feeling himself blush to. "Uh..Nice to meet you too..Umm..?" he then paused because he did not know her name.

[Aki_Chan_15]

((I just wish I could just randomly fight someone without getting punished for it. xD That'd be awesome. I really need to find a class...Dx))

Blinking, Shunsui glanced behind him. 'Impressive, for someone that doesn't have a zanpakuto able to use flash step.' He thought to himself before jumping away from her. "Not that bad..." He complimented but shrugged. "Still never landed a hit on me though." He pointed out with a coy smile. Course, he didn't land a hit either. Only because she was a girl, and he couldn't allow himself to hit girls. It would just be wrong on so many levels.

Ash realized that she hadn't introduced herself and quickly bowed lower. "P-Pardon me! My name is A-Ash Hinao." She introduced herself softly and bit her lip. He's actually in front of me! I-I feel like I'm gonna faint... She thought to herself, before reminding herself not to look so weak in front of so many people. Standing up straight once more, she smiled weakly at him before looking to Karin's fight. Had she really performed flash step? Amazing! She continued to think encouraging her friend on with a small smile.
Clearing his throat, Yamamato looked from Kira to Ash. "You may begin anytime soon." He said gruffly, wondering if they would start.

[xxShyGrlxx]

((Yeah, me too. xD))

Karin growled, and muttered something under her breath. She clenched her fists, and closed her eyes again. Hmm..If I can create a Kido, and flash-step..I must have spiritual pressure right? She thought. She focused, trying to somehow bring out her spiritual pressure. But apparently she had no clue how to do that, and imediatley gave up. She then smirked a bit at Shunsui. "You never landed a hit on me either," she said smoothly. "You know you want to touch me." she cooed flirtaciously. If this doesn't work, I dont know what will.. She thought. Acting as if this little joke was her last hope.

Izuru looked at Yamamoto, then back at Ash. He really, did not want to fight her. Hesitating for a moment, he finaly spoke. "Would you like to battle now?" he asked.

[Aki_Chan_15]

Shunsui simply laughed before bowing his strawhat. "Well, don't you just see right through me." He laughed quietly once more before grinning at her. "But why don't we wait after the fight till we talk some more?" He asked with a small grin, before standing aloof. 'She's quite the different ain't she?' He thought to himself still with a small smile.

Blinking, Ash thought about it for a moment. Was it so wise? Well, she too wanted to know what sort of powers she had she supposed...instead of healing that is. "Um, if you don't mind I-I suppose..." She answered quietly before looking up at him shyly before averting her eyes once more.

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin mentally cursed, but continued smiling. "Aw, why not now?" she asked. "You know you can't wait." she cooed once more. Behind her little flirtacious scheme. She was setting up a plan to somehow knock him down somehow.

Izuru smiled a bit, "I don't mind at all," he said. "Why don't you take the first attack?" he asked. He was going to go easy on her fist, and not use his sword.

[Aki_Chan_15]

Shunsui shrugged as if answering the question justfully. Lifting his hat he smiled. "Possibly because Old Man Yama's still around. And so are a lot of other people." He noted with a grin. 'Isn't she quite the chatterbox...' He thought to himself but laughed. He didn't mind. Her talking was rather interesting. Even though he fully knew that it was just a simple trap.

Bowing down once more at the gracious moment, she nodded. However what attack was she supposedly going to use? Thinking quickly, she figured she would have to use kido. Thinking quickly, she strained her mind wondering what Rukia's attack was when fighting the Bounto. It had something along the lines of blue fire crashing down. Forgetting it quickly she figured she would use the kido that she tried using for targeting practice. "Byakurai!" She amazingly exclaimed before feeling a bolt of lightning escape her finger. Only a few seconds after the attack she immediately shrieked, "I'm sorry!!!"

[xxShyGrlxx]

"Tch, alright I had enough," she muttered. Before she flash-stepped once more, she was right infront of Shunsui. If she was tall enough, they would be nose to nose. But unfortunatley it was more like nose to chest. She quickly vanished again and appeared at Shunsui's side and kicked him in the ribs, while adjusting another blow to a nerve in his neck.

Izuru had managed to move away from Ash's attack. He was slightly amazed. Why is she appologizing? He wondered. "Dont appologize. You dont say sorry when your in a battle."

[Aki_Chan_15]

Within a blink, Shunsui was surprised to take the kick, but it didn't quite hurt him too fully. He had worse pains before. Nanao-chan for example. Dodging himself for the next kick he quickly slid away. "Pretty good." He smiled, before looking down at his chest to see that it only slightly bruised, but shrugged. "Hey! Old Man! When do you think we can stop?" He asked slightly tired. It was slightly pointless for them to just go on like that, but he still couldn't defy the elderly guy's orders.

Realizing this, Ash quickly bowed her head once more. "O-Oh, r-right sor-" She started but quickly caught herself and scolded herself mentally. She jumped away quickly to prepare herself for his attack. 'O-Ok, whatever he uses, b-be brave...' She thought to herself trying her best to be ready for anything thrown at her.

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin grinned, seeing that Shunsui was slightly off guard as he looked towads Yamamoto. Karin jumped onto Shunsui's back and wrapped her arms around his neck. "I always wanted to do this," she breathed into his ear. She blushed faintly and squealed on the inside. She couldn't beleive she had the guts to do that.

Izuru blinked, and lunged towards Ash. He wasn't going to use his zanpakto for awhile though.

[xxShyGrlxx]

((Well, Im going to go. Im very tired. Talk to you tomorrow. ^^ Byes.))

[Aki_Chan_15]

((Okie dokie then! Bye Byes! x3))

Shunsui was indeed caught off guard and stumbled slightly, as he was suddenly piggy-backing a young girl. "Why hello there." He greeted realizing that it was her and smiled, lifting his hat. "Well aren't you just the playful one huh?" He added with a slight chuckle. He wondered if she was going to get off of him, but didn't mind it as well. It wasn't regularly everyday when a pretty young girl just randomly jumped on his back.

Breathing deeply, Ash did her best to avoid his attack by merely jumping back. What else could she have done? She wasn't able to perform a flash step like Karin cause she didn't know how to. And she wasn't able to perform a short kido, afraid that it would really harm someone. Plus, she didn't have a blade. She continued to apologize in her mind deeply, however.

[xxShyGrlxx]

((I is back! And your not online. -_-.. ..xD))

Karin smiled, "Yup," she answered. She laid her chin gently on Shunsui's shoulder and looked towards Ash and Izuru. "So, who do you like better so far, Nanao-san, or Me?" she asked. She idolized Nanao because Shunsui was all over her, and being Karin she wished guys would do that to her.

Izuru continued throwing punches at her, he was hesitant about using most of his strength. He really didn't want to hurt Ash.

[Aki_Chan_15]

((x'D Sorry! I was sleeping for the time being! xD And my mom actually locked her door so I can't get to my yucky medicine which I should take right now. -.- I don't know if I should be sad, or happy. xD))

Shunsui raised his eyebrows at the question. "Nanao-chan or you? Hmmm..." He began to contemplate the question, thinking of an answer. "Well, Nanao-chan's never jumped on my back before, so I'd have to say you right now." He smiled once more before winking at her. From what he thought, it seemed that she sort've liked him, but once more it could've been just some wishful imagination.

Jumping back repeatedly, Ash flinched as she stumbled back and fell onto her back. "Owww..." She mumbled before wincing terribly. 'I lost...like always...' She thought to herself, not wanting to open her eyes afraid of being scolded as usual or something.

[xxShyGrlxx]

((xD I had a feeling you were still asleep. Lol.))

Karin grinned happily and hopped off of Shunsui's back. "That's good to hear," she chirped happily. She looked up at Shunsui and frowned, "Are we still supposed to be fighting?"

Izuru blinked, "Are you okay?" he called out, as he cautiously walked towards her.

[Aki_Chan_15]

((xD Yep, woke up at 12. x] I love sleeping. <3 xD))

Shunsui looked down at her then looked over at Yamamato. Grimacing slightly seeing that he had fell asleep standing up, he shrugged. "Guess the match's over." He said happily with a smile. "Since Old Man Yama's asleep, what do you want to do before he wakes up and puts you in your division?" He asked with a gentle smile.

Nodding weakly, Ash bowed her head, not wanting to make eye contact with anyone quite at the moment. "Y-Yes...c-congratulations on winning." She managed to stutter quietly, still keeping herself sitting on the floor.

[xxShyGrlxx]

((xD I woke up at 11 my mom woke me up by opening the door. Im a light sleeper.))

Karin looked over at Yamamoto, and snickered a bit. She looked up at Shunsui and smiled, "I don't know," she shrugged. "How about getting a drink or something?" she asked, as she shrugged her shoulders once more.

Izuru stared at Ash in confusion. He held out a hand for her to take, "Here," he said with a soft smile. He took a glance at Yamamoto and sweat dropped a little.

[Aki_Chan_15]

((xD Wow. I'm a sorta light sleeper, it's just that I tend to fall asleep everytime I wake up. xD!!!))

Thinking about the idea, he shrugged too. "Sounds good to me. And I know a perfect spot to get a drink." He said with a grin on his face, thinking about going back to the roof and resting with ease. Best of all, he'd have someone to talk to as well. "Shall we get going then?" He asked with a grin before nodding towards the door.

Ash looked up to see his hand and blinked. She stared at his smile and felt her cheeks go red. "U-Um, th-thank you..." She muttered softly before taking his hand gently and getting up with his help. 'His hand is so soft...' She thought to herself, feeling her cheeks redden more. Looking at Yamamato as well, she whispered, "W-What should we do now...?"

[xxShyGrlxx]

((xD Same here. I woke up this morning, and just stared at the ceiling and closed my eyes. "I dont feel like getting up," right then I fell asleep. XD When I woke up this morning, I was wrapped up in the covers like a cacoon, I was like. WTF?!))

Karin smiled, "Cool, let's go." she said happily. She took a small glance at Ash, and smiled. They look cute together. Guess I'll leave them alone. She thought as she looked back at Shunsui.

Izuru blushed faintly, and nodded. "Your welcome," he responded. He looked towards Yamamto again and sighed, "We should probably wait, or wake him up at that.." he shrugged.

[Aki_Chan_15]

((xD Lol! I always do that. 'Cept usually, my dad wakes me up by shaking my leg or something then I go back to sleep. xD It sucks when that happens on a school day though...x'D))

"Great!" Shunsui exclaimed before opening the door for her. And following after. Jumping onto one roof with ease, he looked down to Karin wondering if she would follow the same was as him.

"U-Um...waking him up would be disturbing him..." Ash muttered quietly before looking up at Kira. "We could um...always wait." She added before shyly bowing her head. She glanced around and blinked seeing that Karin had gone off somewhere. 'Oh...well, I guess she would've wanted to leave with Shunsui I guess...' She thought slightly saddened before looking up to Kira then away.

[xxShyGrlxx]

((xD My mom will just yell at me on school days. Or my cat will open the door to my room and start meowing. It's weird. o.o))

Karin looked up at Shunsui, who had jumped onto the roof. "Oh dear," she muttered. If I can flashstep, I can jump really high cant I? She asked herself. She shrugged, and used all the strength in her legs to jump up. Surpsingly she made it onto the roof, but nearly slipped off.

Izuru nodded, "Your right," he said as he looked around for a second. "Instead of standing around here until he wakes up. Would you like me to show you around?"

[Aki_Chan_15]

((O.O Woah...that's cool! xD And yet weird at the same time! The cat's like an alive alarm clock or something. xD!!))

Seeing that Karin was about to fall off, Shunsui quickly grabbed her hand with one hand, then supported her back with the other. "Are you ok?" He asked casually as he stared down at her with a smile.

Ash blinked and felt her cheeks heat slightly. "U-Um, if it wouldn't be t-to much trouble...y-yes please..." She whispered quietly with a small and weak smile, before nodding a bit more confidently.

[xxShyGrlxx]

((Yeah, I know. Except, one time he woke me up on Saturday. I was like "ZoomZoom. ITS SATURDAY!" "Meow?" "Go away!" xD))

Karin blushed a bit and nodded, "Im fine," she smiled. "Thanks for caring." She grinned sheepishly.

Izuru smiled, "It's no problem at all, Come on. Lets go." he responded as he headed towards the door.

[Aki_Chan_15]

((ROFL!! Aww! That's cute, xD ZoomZoom is the name, I'm guessing? That's awesome. xD!!))

Grinning, he placed her carefully onto the roof and shrugged. "Don't mention it." He bowed his head slightly before nodding his head towards the other roofs, motioning for her to follow him. "I'll go slow for you so you can catch up, and not fall." He said softly with a smile before jumping across the roofs with ease.

Ash nodded meakly before following him closely. Not because of her liking to him, but only because that's how she normally walked when with someone. Always behind them, or to the side closely in fear that she would drift on her own, alone. She looked down at the ground shyly, watching her footsteps slightly dazed, since she didn't quite want to make eye contact because of her timidness.

[xxShyGrlxx]

((Lol. Yup. We adopted him, his name was Already ZoomZoom. Why you ask? xD Well, when he runs he's at the otherside of the room in half a second. That cat can run, it's scary when you try running from him. Dx))

Karin rolled her eyes, "Okay, But I slipped! It wont happen again." she said with a small smile. She then jumped onto the other rooftop with Shunsui, "See, Im not falling now am I?" she teased.

Izuru glanced down at Ash with smile, "What division do you think you'll be on?" he asked.

[Aki_Chan_15]

((Aww that's a cute name! xD And an awesome talent! Rofl! I remember being chased around a house by the family dog. xD I kept yelling for help, but no one came. They thought I was playing with her. Dx!! Still it was sorta funny xD))

Shunsui simply shrugged. "Eh, lucky try I guess." He teased back with a small wink before jumping across more roofs at once.

"D-Division? Oh, um, I don't know...I-I doubt I'll be in any division at all..." She murmured with a slightly saddened look but smiled nonetheless. "B-But at least it was sorta fun...while it lasted..." She added quietly with a faint smile.

[xxShyGrlxx]

((Haha. xD))

Karin rolled her eyes and followed after him. "Would you like me to fall?" she asked with a smile.

"Im sure your going to be put in a division," he exclaimed. "I think your the kind of girl to be in the 4th squad." he smiled.

[Aki_Chan_15]

((xD))

Shunsui glanced back at her and smiled in return. "Would you like me to catch you?" He asked in reply with a grin.

"4th squad...?" She asked contemplating the possibility. She did enjoy healing quite alot. "W-Well...it is rather c-close to 3rd I guess..." She muttered, but quickly squeaked seeing as how she said that aloud. "I-I mean, um..." She quickly said but couldn't quite find something else to add. Thus, she quickly stayed silent and bowed her head.

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin laughed, "Sure!" she answered with a grin. Wow, he's so amazing. Why do all the girls always scold him, and..And be rude to him? He's so kind.. Ah heck, he's all mine! She thought.

Izuru laughed a bit, "So you want to be on squad 3? Well, you might be. We just have to wait for Captain Yamamoto to wake up." he exclaimed.

[Aki_Chan_15]

Shunsui simply laughed before shaking his head. He was amazed that she was able to keep up with him as he continued to jump. Finally stopping at one roof, he yawned and smiled as his hat lowered. "Well, we're here." He stated before sitting down on the roof, and looking up at Karin with a grin. Holding out a sake bottle, he asked, "Want some?"

Ash lightly laughed as well. "Y-Yeah...I'd love to be in s-squad 3..." She managed to say with a more easier tone. However, she didn't care about what squad she was in...as long as it wasn't the 11th division. Those people literally scared her. She smiled slightly but blinked before hearing her stomach slightly growl. Grimacing and blushing as well, she looked away making it seem like it was nothing. 'P-Please be quiet...' She thought to herself biting her lip slightly.

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin smiled and sat down next to him. "Yes, please~" she said in a singy-song voice. She loved Sake, it was her favorite drink. Besides those energy drinks called, Rockstar. ((My fav! x3))

Izuru smiled and laughed a bit at her growling stomach. "Would you like to get something to eat? I don't mind paying for you." he asked politely.

[Aki_Chan_15]

((xD Never tried it before, does it taste good? x3))

Chuckling quietly, Shunsui handed her the bottle with a smile. "There you go!" He exclaimed with a grin before lying down and angling his hat downwards. "So, taking it from your clothes and your hesitance during the fight you didn't just randomly came here on your own death now did you? How'd you do it?" He asked curiously, not caring to lift his hat as he spoke.

Ash immediately blinked and quickly stuttered, "I-I could never b-burden you w-with myself! I-I...ehh..." She started but had to admit that she didn't have any money. Her mother always scolded her to, however she couldn't allow her to, afraid that she might lose it somewhere else. She scowled at her foolishness and the fact that her stomach continued to growl. 'Please...just s-shut up...' She thought to herself with a slight frown.

[xxShyGrlxx]

((It's really good. It's strong though. xD))

Karin stayed quiet for a moment, and opened the bottle of sake and took a sip. She sighed, and looked towards the sky. "First off, I am not dead," she said quietly. "Second, you wouldn't beleive how I got here.."

"Your not a burden! Not at all." Izuru exclaimed. "Come on, if your really hungry I'll take you to the ramen shop. Im pretty hungry myself." he smiled.

[Aki_Chan_15]

((xD Is it like coffee or something??))

Shunsui gave a short nod. "Kinda figured that." He muttered, replying to the not dead part. He raised an eyebrow to the second remark and lifted his hat curiously. "Oh? Try me. I shouldn't believe you that you're not dead. But I still am, aren't I?" He asked with a warm smile. "Now shoot. How'd you get here?"

Blushing faintly, Ash bowed her head and nodded. "O-Ok then...t-thank you..." She murmured before bowing down to him. Raising her head she looked up to him, and smiled sheepishly.

[xxShyGrlxx]

((It's an energy drink. It has a butt load of sugar in it, it has a tropical taste to it. xD))

Karin smiled and looked towards Shunsui. "Well, Me and Ash..We were watching a show called Bleach, and..That's the show your from, along with Nanao and everyone else in the soul society. But anyways, when me and Ash were watching the show the t.v turned white and we were somehow sucked in..The next thing I knew we were infront of the gates of the sieretie and Jidanbo thought I was Orihime Inoue.." Karin sighed and took another sip from the sake bottle. "Do you beleive me?" she asked.

Izuru blushed at her smile, "Your welcome," he said.

[Aki_Chan_15]

((Ooo, sugar?? xD Sounds awesome! And tropical tastes just rule. xD))

Sitting up as she spoke, Shunsui surprisingly listened. Thinking up of an answer as she finished, he finally replied, "Well, that was rather interesting." He noted with a smile. "I can see why Jidanbo would mistake you for Miss Inoue though. And...yes, I guess you can say I believe you." He finally summed up his answers with a slight smile. Strangely he did believe her. She wasn't like any of the other girls, who would usually slap him or ignore him. And for being able to come up with a story such as that, it had to be true. Unless you were really seriously messed up in the brain. But, she didn't seem like the type of person.

Nodding, Ash looked around. The buildings were quite tall...or then again, she was rather short. She glanced to Izuru and quickly looked away feeling her knees almost give away. Her thoughts began to wander towards her friend as she wondered how she was doing. Probably having a blast with Shunsui. She smiled at the thought and shook her head. Noticing some sort of restaraunt up ahead, she tilted her head slightly and looked up to Kira. "Um...i-is that the ramen shop...?" She asked pointing wearily towards the place.

[xxShyGrlxx]

((Yep. xD))

Karin grinned sheepishly, "That's good to hear," she sighed in releif. "I didn't want you to think I was insane or something." she said with a small laugh. She took another sip of sake, and blinked. She stared down at the bottle, and scoffed. It was already empty, and she hadn't even realized she drank it all.

Izuru looked up, finally snapping out of his daze. "Yeah, that's the ramen shop." he said as he smiled down at Ash.

[Aki_Chan_15]

Shunsui chuckled slightly. "Of course not. You don't seem like the type to me." He noted, before glancing at her. "Now, tell that to any of the other captains, and you'll recieve a whole different answer." He explained before laughing quietly. He noticed her scoffing and raised an eyebrow curiously. "Something wrong?" He asked wondering if there was something wrong with the sake.

Ash gave a small grin before nodding a bit more confidently. "Cool!" She exclaimed before taking his hand gently and quickly making her way towards the shop. As soon as they arrived in front of it, she quickly realized her actions and bowed down to him once more. "S-Sorry...I-I didn't realize that I was ehm..." She muttered quietly but trailed off and quieted down once more.

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin frowned and looked up at Shunsui. "I drank all of it." she said as she showed him the empty bottle. "Guess I got a bit carried away, heh." Karin smiled. "Sake, is very delicious you know."

Izuru was surprised by her actions, but he felt a bit happy that he took his hand. "N-no, rally. I-it's fine, Dont worry about it." he said with a faint blush.

[Aki_Chan_15]

Shunsui simply laughed. "Ah, that's fine. We'll just get more." He shrugged with a grin. "Do you wanna wait here? Or come with me to my room?" He asked, with a grin. He wondered if she would slap him like all the other girls that would if he made that sort've pass at them.

Feeling her whole face red, Ash nodded meakly and looked up to the cashier. "U-Um...I-I guess I'll have some chicken ramen..." She murmured softly, but quickly added, "I-If that's alright..." She bit her lip slightly before averting her eyes away from Kira's.

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin smiled, WOO! She thought happily. "I'll come with you, I dont want to be out here all alone." she said with a slight wink.

Izuru smiled, "It's fine with me. I think I'll also get chicken ramen." he told the cashier.

[Aki_Chan_15]

Shunsui blinked at her reaction. Definitely not from around here... He thought to himself with a slight chuckle. Shaking his head slightly, he shrugged and slipped down the roof. "Alright then, c'mon. We don't want Nanao-chan to catch us." He laughed quietly as he said this.

Nodding, the cashier gave them their bill and asked for them to wait.
Ash looked around the rather quaint place and noticed a table. Heading over there, she sat down quietly and glanced around. 'Small...cool...' She thought to herself with a small giggle.

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin laughed a bit and jumped off of the roof and landed gracefully next to Shunsui. "To bad I didn't slip off the roof," she giggled.

Izuru smiled at Ash and sat across from her.

[Aki_Chan_15]

Shunsui chuckled and shrugged. "Maybe you should've. I wouldn't mind touching you again." He smiled casually before walking inside the 8th division building and greeting some of his officers as he passed by.

Ash smiled back sheepishly and looked to the counter. She could see their ramen ready and quickly stood. "S-Since you paid. I'll get the food for us!" She exclaimed a bit more clearer, before making her way towards the counter and getting the food for them. She winced slightly since it was still hot but quickly made her way back to the table. "H-Here's your ramen...c-careful, i-it's still hot." She warned with a weak smile before wincing.

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin laughed a bit, "Typical Shunsui, huh?" she asked as she knudged him in the shoulder playfully. She was already madly in love with him. To bad she was almost inlove with ever other captain, minus Yamamoto and Soifon and Unohana. (xD)

Izuru smiled, "Thank you Ash-chan," he said as he looked down at his bowl of ramen.

[Aki_Chan_15]

((Haha xD!!))

Shunsui laughed as she nudged him and shrugged. "Well, you should know. There's basically a whole show of the place, right?" He asked with a small chuckle. Opening a door, he calmly strode in and turned on the lights heading quickly towards a small cabinet like storage which of course, held his lasting sake.

Ash blinked as he familiarized himself to her. Blushing slightly and smiling, she nodded and sat down across of him. Looking down at her bowl, she looked up to him and smiled before breaking her chopsticks softly and taking small bites of her ramen. 'Wow, I'm actually eating with the lieutenant of the 3rd division!!!' She thought to herself happily trying her best not to smile awkwardly.

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin smiled a bit, and stared in awe at all the sake. "Where do you get all the sake at?" she asked.

Izuru blushed a bit, and picked up the chopsticks and broke them apart. He then began to eat quietly.

[Aki_Chan_15]

Shunsui looked behind him casually at her and grinned sheepishly. "Shh, it's my little secret." He whispered with a small chuckle before taking out two and handing one over towards Karin. "Here, you can have one for yourself. Not everyday I meet someone out of...ehh, the tv I guess." He said trying to find the right words quick and laughed at his weak success.

After taking a few small bites, Ash figured she would start a conversation with him. "Um, s-so...do you listen to music?" She asked with a weak smile. It was a dumb question, but what else was she suppose to ask. She then began to wonder if shinigamis listened to music. Was it even possible...?

Finally, Yamamato began waking up. "Hmm...?" He wondered what happened and glanced around. "Oh dear me. Seems I've fallen asleep." He laughed quietly to himself before sighing. He now began to think about to two girls. Who would they be sorted in...? The one that stuttered was perfect for 4th division that was for sure. But the other one, the rather determined one. Where best would she be...? Well, he'd figure it out when he saw them again. Calling for two of his officers, he asked for them both to call back the girls.

[xxShyGrlxx]

"Okay, I wont tell," Karin said in a hushed voice. She laughed a bit and took the bottle of sake. "Thank you." she grinned.

Izuru smiled a bit, "I used too. But I've been busy lately." he answered. "Do you?" he asked.

[Aki_Chan_15]

"Not a problem. Want anymore, you know where to get some." He said with a grin before closing his cabinet. "Should we get going before Nanao-chan catches us and loads us with-" He started but scowled as he noted the certain lieutenant passing by and immediately stopping in front of the doorway.
Pushing up her glasses she stared at them sharply. "What in the world is this?! You're suppose to be filing paperwork! Not lounging around!" She scolded giving a soon exhasperated sigh. She looked towards Karin and raised an eyebrow. "You were one of the two from the gates." She murmured examining her carefully. "How did you get in?" She asked once more.
"Long story Nanao-chan! But, we better get going~" He sang but scowled lightly once more as she stopped him from going any further. Sighing, he turned his head over towards Karin and whispered, "Looks like we're caught."

Ash blinked. "Really? That's cool...um, me too. I love listening to music." She said clearly with a smile. She was amazed at how calmer she was around him now. "I um, I guess you can say I like classical..." She muttered with a small smile. Usually people called her a nerd because she loved classical music such as piano, violin, all the beautiful orchestra sounds.

Each officer nodded before heading towards seperate directions. One towards 8th division, the other towards 3rd. As the one heading towards 8th division neared closer, he began to look around wondering where the captain would be found.

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin nodded at Shunsui and snapped her fingers, "Oh darn," she smiled. "Is it a bad thing?" she whispered back, not sure if it was or not. Either way, Karin didn't actually care.

Izuru smiled, "Classical? I like classical too, well, actually I like all kinds of music." he exclaimed.

[Aki_Chan_15]

Shunsui laughed at her responce and shrugged. "If she makes us do paperwork yes." He grinned weakly before blinking at the sound of her clearing her throat. "Oops! Almost forgot you were there Nanao-chan!" He exclaimed with a small laugh. He watched as she shook her head, and moved to the side as a 1st division officer came up. "What? Old Man Yama woke up I see?" Watching the officer nod, he smiled. "Well, let's see what division your in, umm...?" He trailed off, realizing that he didn't quite catch the girl's name.

Ash smiled as well and laughed quietly. "That's cool..." She murmured before taking another bite of her ramen. A question popped into her mind, but she figured it best not to ask him. Afraid that an awkward air would come around them if she asked who the new captain for 3rd division would be. "S-So...umm..." She muttered quietly trying to think of another topic to talk about. "Do-" She started but jumped as a voice was called from behind them.
"Lieutenant! Commander-General Yamamato has awaken. He said it best that you bring the girl back to the 1st division, immediately." The officer exclaimed before vanishing quickly.
Ash blinked. 'He's pretty fast...' She thought to herself but looked back at Izuru once more.

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin blinked, "Uhh..It's Karin!" Karin said, it took her a slight moment to figure out what Shunsui was trying to say. "Okay! Let's go, I want to see what squad i'm on!" she exclaimed happily as she ran out of the squad 8 barracks and flash-stepped towards sqaud 1 barracks where Yamamoto would be waiting. Oh, I hope im on squad 8..and 11..and 12..and..9. Karin frowned. There were so many squads she wanted to be on, sadly she could only be in one squad.

Izuru looked up at the officer and blinked. He frowned slightly and looked over at Ash.
"Well, I guess we can't finish our food," he said. "Oh well, Maybe we can come back out sometime and eat together." he exclaimed as he stood up. "We should go now Ash, we dont want to keep Yamamoto-taichou waiting."

[Aki_Chan_15]

"Karin...cute name." He muttered before watching her leave. Smiling, he follow casually after and gave a slight wave to Nanao who was still trying to scold him about paperwork. "Don't got the time!" He simply called back before flashstepping himself and catching up easily to Karin. "So what squad do you wanna be in again?" He asked curiously looking at her from the corner of his eyes.

Ash blushed slightly and nodded. "Y-Yes! That would be very nice..." She murmured with a grin. The thought of them being able to see each other one more time made squeal on the inside. However she had to add, "O-Oh, I'm s-sorry that we had to waste your m-money though..." She scowled lightly. "I-I'll pay you b-back! S-Somehow..." She quietly added wondering what money she could gather, or at least how to. Breathing in, she turned around and looked around trying to remember where the 1st division was, and making her way towards there.
'4th or 3rd squad would be fine with me I guess...4th squad barracks are close to 3rd!' She thought to herself with a small grin on her face.

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin looked over at Shinsui and smiled, "Your squad for sure. But, I always wanted to know what it was like to be in Mayuri's squad." she answered. "You don't like him very much do you?" she asked as she finally made it to squad 1's barracks.

Izuru laughed a bit, "Don't worry about it. It doesn't matter. You don't have to pay me back." he exclaimed as he walked besides Ash. "Do you remembered where the squad 1's barracks are at?" he asked her.

[Aki_Chan_15]

Shunsui slightly grimaced at the name. "Why would anyone like a sadistic mad man that cares for nothing that is living?" He asked in a harsh and whisper like tone, but quickly shook his had. "No. I don't like the man." He simply stated before stopping in front of the barracks. "Well, time to see what division your in." He exclaimed before opening the door for her.

"O-Oh...um...alright then..." Ash muttered feeling a bit spoiled on. She looked around her for a bit before straining her mind. "Umm, n-not quite..." She finally replied contemplating whether to take a left or right. Finally she decided to take a right, unsure if she was taking the right way.

Yamamato noticed the door open and smiled wearily seeing Karin. "Ah, did you enjoy your tour, Miss Karin?" He asked curiously tilting his head, still contemplating what division to place her in his mind.

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin glared at Shunsui slightly before walking in. She looked over at Yamamoto, "Yeah, sure," she answered while crossing her arms and closing her eyes. She was pretty angry, seeing as she was probably the only one who liked Mayuri. "It was rather interesting, right Shunsui?" she asked as she looked at him through the corner of her eyes.

Izuru smiled a bit as he followed her. So far she was going the right way, but if she took any wrong paths Izuru would guide her to the barracks.

((Oh em gee. Watch this. It's hilarious, especially in the middle. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wciaiXxLqo&feature=related I cant stop watching it. xD))

[Aki_Chan_15]

((ROFL! xD!!! "What's a little girl?" ...O_O xD!!! Priceless! xD!!!))

Shunsui smiled in return and nodded. "Yeah, the girl isn't so bad." He complimented before looking at Yamamato. From the look he was giving, it seemed that he was still thinking. Sighing, he should've figured this coming from the old man.

Looking up at division numbers, Ash smiled as she passed the 2nd barracks. "We're almost there!" She exclaimed happily before grinning slightly to herself.

Yamamato looked at Karin and nodded. Finally making a decision. "Are you aware of Captain Mayuri Kurotsuchi?" He asked in a gruffy like voice before tilting his head slightly.

[xxShyGrlxx]

((I know! That part is so funny. xD I liked the part where he said "Ow" all weird and when Laura {the little girl} at the end was like "None of your buisness" in that slow voice. XD))

Karin quickly opened her eyes, "Y-yes of course I am." she answered. Am I going to be on his squad?!? She thought happily.

Izuru nodded, "Yeah, I can't wait to hear what squad your on." he stated. He hoped she could be on squad 3 so they could talk more often.

[Aki_Chan_15]

((Yeah! xD The ending was hilarious!))

Shunsui frowned. Seemed like she wasn't going to be on his squad. But, if she were to be put into 12th division, he really couldn't defy Yamamato's decision. No matter how reckless it was. 'Is he dumb or something!?! The man'll immediately place her in a test tube once she steps foot in there...' He thought to himself, angrily but contained a calm exterior easily.

Ash nodded happily as well, before beginning to walk backwards. "Yeah! I t-think it'd be awesome if I could be put um, on your squad." She muttered with a faint blush on her cheeks, before quickly turning around. But only to find a wall slamming into her face. Or at least the 1st division doors.

Yamamato smiled, and nodded. "Yes...you'll be-" He started but blinked as he heard a slight 'bang' at the door. Glancing to see his lieutenant open the door, he noted Ash on her butt rubbing her face. Sweatdropping slightly, he looked back to Karin and finished what he was saying. "You'll be placed in squad 12...as 2nd seat." He stated with a confident nod.

((Ok, my brain can't function right, as of now. Dx I think I'm gonna tucker in for bed! I'll try to wake up early tomorrow. xD No guarantees though. xD!! Well, nighty-night! ^^))

[xxShyGrlxx]

((I'll send you something even funnier. It's even more hilarious..er.. xD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neS5QtU2xRE&feature=related))

Karin's eyes widened, "S-second seat? SWEET!" She cried out happily. "When can I see Mayuri-taichou? Can I go see him now?" she asked, getting overly excited.

Izuru blinked, "Ash are you okay?" he asked as he walked over to her and held out a hand for her to take.

(Can we make alove triangle between Shunsui, Mayuri and Karin? Please? x3)

((Okie dokie. Though, I might not be on around 1 or so, I have to go somewhere. But hopefully I wont be gone all day tomorrow. Night! Talk to you tomorrow! ^^))

[Aki_Chan_15]

((Can't see the link since school hates youtube. DX But, I'll look at it later! =D))

(XD A love triangle huh? Sure, guess it couldn't hurt. It's be interesting to rp Mayuri too! XD)

Shunsui glanced away, resisting to clench his hands and strangle the old man for such a dumb mistake. But glancing to see the grin on the girl's face, he shrugged and let a faint smile appear on his face.

Ash rubbed her now red forehead, and cursed a few mild words under her breath. She must've looked like an idiot, or so she thought. She blinked seeing a hand outstretched to her and smiled slightly seeing that it was Izuru. Nodding, she took it gently and got up with his help. "T-Thank you." She whispered before turning around and noting Karin's happy face. Smiling to herself, she thought, 'She must've gotten on Shunsui's team...' However she soon noted the bummed look on the captain himself. Confused she approached quietly and stayed at the door.

Giving a brief nod at the hyperactive girl, he nodded. "Of course, if you know the way then you can. Shunsui will be able to guide you I presume." He smiled before turning towards Ash. "And you. You shall be placed in Uohana's division. Squad 4. 6th Seat." He stated before getting ready for his leave. For a busy day's work for an old aged man as him, it was utterly tiring.

[xxShyGrlxx]

((Okie dokie! x3))

(Lol. Wootness. xD)

Karin smiled. She was so happy to be on Mayuri's squad, hopefully she didn't become one of the test subjects. She shrugged that thought off and grinned at her friend Ash, and congradulated her for being on Unohana's squad. She knew that Ash would be in Division 4, I mean it was a bit obvious. "Well, I don't really need a guide to show me where to go or tell me what I should do so," she smiled. "See you all later." she waved before flash-stepping away from everyone and towards Squad 12's barracks.

[Aki_Chan_15]

Shunsui watched as she moved away and sighed. "Well, I guess it's time for my leaving..." She murmured before holding onto his hat and flash-stepping back towards his division's barracks.

Ash blinked as she heard what squad she was in and became ecstatic as a grin appeared on her face. She smiled as Karin congratulated her, and quickly congratulated her as well. She was sort of worried for her friend, as she realized that she was on the 12th squad. But, she was strong and Ash believed in her friend. Besides, she knew how she admired him along with the whole lot of captains. Bowing towards the leaving 1st division captain, she turned to Izuru and smiled. "Even though w-we're not in the same division...I suppose, it's great t-that we're nearer!" She exclaimed having a small blush on her face as she said that.

Mayuri had been in his room as usual, sitting in his chair and staring at the computers, that beeped and the experiments that glowed. He looked at the screens boredly, but caught one girl flash-stepping her way towards their barracks. "What the hell is this?" He asked, quickly looking at Nemu who just came to his side. "I recieved word from the 1st division that she will be apart of Mayuri-sama's squad..." She said quietly, as usual. Interest picking at his mind, Mayuri tilted his head towards the woman and figured that it might as well just be another experiment to test on.

[xxShyGrlxx]

With each step Karin got closer and closer to squad 12's barracks. She knew very well her life would be at risk, but it was an honor to her to be on Mayuri Kurotsuchi's squad. Finally, standing infront of the two doors that would lead her inside to meet Mayuri, she stood there for a moment. Wondering if he would open the door, already expecting her or would she have to knock. With a shrug of her shoulders, she knocked on the large doors.

Izuru smiled at Ash and nodded his head, "Yeah," he replied. "Im sure we'll be seeing each other around alot." he added with a slight blush.

[DarknessXLeader]

"Nemu...get that. I'd like to wait a while before my greeting." Mayuri ordered before entwining his fingers together. His mind began to reel on what this person was like. Possibly good strength? Or maybe high intelligence? He wanted so much to know what specific trait he would be able to use to experiment on. It excited him everytime he got a new officer, but he hid it well once after experimenting on them.

Nemu nodded at her captain, and walked quietly towards the door. Arriving to it in no time, she opened it, and stared at the girl with her usual blank eyes and expression. "Hello. Mayuri-sama has been expecting you." She said in a quiet tone before bowing her head slightly.

Ash grinned wider and nodded. Seeing as how they were left alone, she strode out of the 1st division and out into the streets. 'Now what do I do...?' She thought to herself, in question and looked around. She suddenly felt lost and frowned slightly.

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin stared at Nemu blankly before she smirked slightly. She gave herself a blank expression, equally to Nemu's and bowed her head slightly. "Hello to you as well," she spoke calmly. "You must be his leuitenant, Nemu Kurotsuchi. It is an honor to meet you, I cannot wait to meet your intelligent captain I have heard so much about." she quietly exclaimed. Hehee. This is so funny. Im going to make this girl smile at least once! And make her less..cowardless, if that's even a word. Karin thought.

[DarknessXLeader]

Nemu stared down at her with a blink, before a very small tint of pink reached her cheeks, as she heard that it was an honor to meet her. She smiled slightly, before quickly turning around and nodding. Her smile fading quickly once she turned. "Yes...I've learned that you will be the new 2nd seat. Congratulations..." She said softly, before making her way down the halls. It was eerily quiet, as always.

Ash glanced around the streets and tilted her head slightly. She suddenly remembered Kira, but figured he probably left already. 'I should've thanked him again...how forgetful of me.' She thought to herself with a small scowl, before sighing silently, and making her way down the streets. She smiled slightly as she past the 3rd division, and blushed slightly. Shaking her head slowly, she walked further and made her way towards 4th division. "Well...here I am..." She breathed to herself before biting her lip. Making her way towards the gates, she hesitated in knocking. 'What if they don't even expect me coming...? What if I'm quickly turned away? What if I don't even deserve to be a shinigami!?' She thought to herself hastily and felt as her hand drifted away from the door. She bowed her head in depression and murmured to herself, "I'm pathetic..."

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin raised an eyebrow at Nemu's action, but shrugged it off and followed. "Uh huh, thanks," she muttered cooly. Apparently she was unable to hold her calm attitude any longer. "So where's Mayuri-ku-I mean Mayuri-sama!" Karin stammered nervously as her face turned a shade of dark red. "Yeah..where is Mayuri-sama?" she asked.

(You wanted me to be Unohana right? Can I be Isane to!? :D)

[DarknessXLeader]

Slowly blinking at Karin's stammering, she glanced behind her and looked ahead soon after, figuring it was simply a mistake. "Mayuri-sama is awaiting for us in his quarters..." She stated before stopping in front of a door. Knocking on it gently, she said, "Mayuri-sama...she is here..."

Mayuri was scanning the computers, knowing very well what the two were talking of, and carefully watching the girl, especially. He smiled as he heard Nemu's voice and nodded. "Ah, come in come in Nemu-chan." He called, before simply pressing a button and hearing the door open to a swoosh. He turned to face them both and smiled the best he could. "Welcome, Miss Karin." He said calmly. As awaiting for the two's arrival he managed to reasearch on the girl's status. However suspicion had him when he was only able to find the girl's name. She was more interesting than he had expected.

Ash gathered enough confidence to lift her hand close to the door. She breathed in deeply, before nodding to herself. Knocking on the door softly, she crossed her arms behind her back, beginning to wonder if she had disturbed something. 'Oh no...what if I interupted a division's meeting!?' She thought to herself soon regretfully as she lowered her head even more.

((Yes pwease! :D And sure! Isane's awesome. x3))

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin stared at Mayuri in awe, she was completley amazed. Now I know why I love this guy. She thought. Quickly regaining herself, she smiled childishly at Mayuri and bowed. "A pleasure to meet you, Mayuri-taichou. I am quite honored to be on your team." she responded as calmly as she could, but it failed with a childish giggle between each word.

The door Ash had been standing infront of finally opened, showing Unohana Retsu and her leuitenant Isane Kotetsu. Unohana smiled kindly at Ash, and placed a hand on her shoulder to catch her attention. "You must be Ash, our new squad member, yes?" Unohana asked in her usual kind tone.

(YAY! x3))

[DarknessXLeader]

Mayuri blinked at the girl's rather strange expression but managed to shrug it off. "Yes, it's nice to have you as well." He simply said before beginning to wonder what to do first. 'Test how her strength is? No, that'd be too soon. Her intelligence? A possible maybe...' He thought to himself trying his best to conclude which test he should give to her first. Remembering the girl in front of him waiting, he quickly said, "Ah yes. Of course, I should test you to see how well your body as well as your mind works." He explained before adding calmly, "Not to worry, nothing dangerous. Just a sort of initiation of course." He smiled before crossing his arms behind his back.

Ash jumped as she felt a hand on her shoulder and quickly looked up to see the Captain of 4th division, Unohana Retsu herself. She blinked before quickly bowing once more. "Y-YES! Th-That is me, I'm Hinao Ash- I MEAN! Ash Hinao!" She stammered quickly and felt her words fall apart poorly. She bowed her head in shame and knew that she had embarassed herself in front of the captain, plus the lieutenant herself.

[xxShyGrlxx]

"Worried? Why would I be worried?" Karin asked. "I'd be more than happy to take a test." she muttered. Only for Mayuri! She thought with another slight giggle. She shifted on her feet nervously and crossed her arms.

Unohana smiled sweetly, hearing Isane let out a small laugh. "Very well, nice to meet you, Ash Hinao." she replied. "Shall we get you inside? I see we must get you a uniform."

Isane studied Ash and blinked, "Wait a second," she said. "You don't have a sword?" she asked, in slight shock. That's odd. Most soul reapers do have swords. Isane thought, as she looked at Unohana. Surely, she had an answer.

[DarknessXLeader]

With that, Mayuri was now confused. With all his other officers that he had said those words to, this one had no worry. She seemed rather thrilled and looked forward to it. Perhaps this was what made her special? Her strength and capability to withstand fear?...No. There was no one like that so far as he knew. Nodding, he clicked on a switch nearby, and watched as another door opened, moving computers and such to the side. "Please, enter Miss Karin." He said as mannerly as he did.

Nemu watched blankly from behind and stared at Karin rather curiously. There was something about her actions that confused her as well as Mayuri. She could tell that she had a sort of admiration for him, but other than that, she was still confused about her.

Ash nodded to Unohana, but blinked as she looked at Isane. "A sword...? Oh! Ehm, right...I-I don't seem to have one..." She murmured slightly embarassed and lowered her head. However, in a second she quickly raised her head and exclaimed, "B-But if I must have one, I-I will do my best to f-find one!" She felt awkward as the words escaped her mouth and lowered her head once more.

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin smiled, and nodded. "Yes, Mayuri-taichou." she replied before walking towards the new hidden entrance. I would think I would've got a uniform first. Karin thought with a shrug, before walking through the doorway.

Unohana looked at Ash and smiled once more, "You do not need a sword," she answered. "Do not worry about such things, maybe your skill just lies with healing and kido or things along those lines." she exclaimed. "Now, let's get you inside alright. I would like to introduce you to your fellow squad members."

[DarknessXLeader]

Mayuri allowed a small grin to appear on his face, but it soon vanished to his usual mysterious expression afterwards. "Yes, I'd like to test on your intelligence, first." He explained shortly, before motioning her towards a seat in the middle of the room. "Please, sit down." He then walked himself over towards the computer and typed a few things onto the keyboard, making a screen with slow moving shockwaves appear on the screen.

Ash nodded shyly, and twiddled with her fingers at the thought of meeting the other members. "Y-Yes, Unohana-taichou..." She whispered, feeling a rush of calmness and excitement overwhelm her as she said that. 'Wow, I can't believe I'm actually near the 4th Division captain herself!' She thought to herself with a small smile. She walked into the division slowly, and crossed her arms behind her back shyly before waiting for Unohana to continue with the 'tour'.

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin nodded her head and sat down on the chair in the middle of the room. She looked around and stared straight forward with a clueless expression. Intelligence my ass. Haha. I don't even know my abc's. She thought sarcastically.

Unohana smiled as she gave Ash a tour around the squad 4 barracks. She introduced Ash to many of the soul reapers working in her squad, as well as some of the patients. "Your job is quite simply today, Ash," she stated. "I want you to stay with Isane and she will show you the basics. I am sure you are aware of your healing abilities, but Isane is going to train your healing ablities so you can master it." Unohana exclaimed with a smile.

[DarknessXLeader]

Mayuri smiled at her reluctantness (not even a word I don't think XD) and prepared himself with wires with suction cups at the ends of them. Placing them gently on her temple lobes, he smiled at her and returned to his computer. "Now, tell me. What knowledge do you have on the subject the bankai ability?" He asked the simple question, wanting to know how her mind worked first off.

Ash looked around curiously and smiled meekly towards the fellow shinigami. She simply had to laugh as she encountered Iemura Yasochika, the man that had a strange urge to write in his journal constantly. She listened to Unohana and nodded as confidently as she could. "Yes! I-It would be a honor to be t-trained by her!" She exclaimed with a stammer and twiddled her fingers nervously.

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin twitched slightly and thought for a moment on the question. "Well," she smiled. "The bankai is the second and final form of a zanpakutō. To achieve it, one must be able to materialize their zanpakutō's spirit in the real world and subjugate it, giving the Soul Reaper full reign over the zanpakutō's power." she shrugged.

Unohana smiled, "Alright then, Isane, I leave the rest to you. If you need me for anything, I will be in my office filling out paperwork." she stated before leaving Isane and Ash alone.

Isane watched Unohana leave and looked back at Ash. She smiled at her, "Well, let's begin with the real easy stuff." she sighed. She wasn't the greatest at teaching, but she would definatley do her best.

[DarknessXLeader]

Mayuri smiled as he nodded. The shockwaves grew to lengths and he wrote down on a clipboard the progress thus far. "Good, now, how about your knowledge on living life?" He asked curiously. Out of all his research, that was one of the things he could never decipher. Even though he yearned to learn of it, since it was a possible trait that would help with his future experiments.

Ash watched as Unohana left and bowed in her leaving. She quickly straightened at Isane's voice and nodded. "Y-Yes, of course." She mumbled with a small smile before looking up at her more confidently.

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin c.ocked an eyebrow. "Eh?" she muttered. "Living life? The hell?" she asked. "I don't understand what you mean, Mayuri-sama." she exclaimed with a shake of her head.

Isane smiled at Ash, "Follow me, I want to test your healing abilities on one of our patients." she exclaimed before walking down down the hall, towards a patients room.

[DarknessXLeader]

Mayuri sighed at her responce. "No. Not quite. I meant your knowledge on human life. The infrastructure, the emotions, the systems. Everything." He explained, sitting in a chair of his own by the computer, staring at Karin.

Ash nodded quickly and followed her quietly. She stared at the floor, folding her arms behind her back and trying her best not to bump into any of the other shinigami's working. Her mind began to wander towards someone and she blushed. 'I wonder how he is...' She thought shyly, and felt her blush warm, but quickly shook her head to keep her mind off of Kira.

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin twitched, an anime vein popping on her forehead. "Why the hell would I know about that stuff?" she muttered. "If you want to know what I think then here, everything is focused on the brain. There are certain parts of the brain, yadda, yadda. Bla bla bla." Karin sighed. "Shouldn't you know all this stuff?" she asked.



Isane glanced back at Ash and smiled a bit. She wondered what she was blushing about, she shrugged it off and finally made it to a patients room. Renji Abarai (YAY!). Isane smiled a bit, seeing that Renji was finally awake but it seemed a wound on his shoulder had opened up. "Renji Abarai, glad to see you had awakened. I hope you don't mind if I have a new subordinate heal your wound."
((Hope it's okay I used Renji. ^^' ))

[DarknessXLeader]

Mayuri blinked as he heard her. He gritted his teeth and felt his hand curling into a fist. "You know nothing of what I know." He snapped but calmed himself the best he could. He knew nothing of how the living body worked, that was why he researched on them. It was his mind that caused him to think of everything as objects. "Forget the question then." He finally said before deleting the useless data waves that appeared on the computer. "Let us just continue on with testing." He added, before standing and walking towards her. He plucked the wires off of her lobes as gently as he could, and returned to the screen.

Ash looked up to see Renji, and grew wide-eyed. 'Oh my gosh...Renji Abarai, actually in the flesh...' She thought to herself in surprise. She quickly bowed her head, and refused to raise her head until she was told of what to do. 'W-What do I do!?' She thought to herself, before glancing up. She noticed the wound on his shoulder and blinked. 'That looks kind of bad...' She added to her thoughts feeling the sudden need to help again.

((Nope! Not a problem at all! =D))

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin raised an eyebrow at Mayuri, and let out a small chuckle. "Oh, that's right I forgot," she said, as stood up from the chair. "You aren't even human. Pardon me for being so rude!" she exclaimed sarcastically while twirling her hair around her fingers. It was true she was trying to provoke him, but that was only because Karin thought Mayuri was funny when he was angry.


"Not a problem, go ahead," Renji told Isane in a weak voice. He laid his head back down on the pillow and sighed.

Isane smiled, and looked down at Ash. "Alright Ash," she started off, "Let's see how much healing you can do. If you need me, I'll be standing right here."

[DarknessXLeader]

Mayuri twitched slightly as an anime vein soon appeared on his forehead. "I shall tell you right now, and only now...do NOT mock me!" He yelled before turning sharply around and motioning her towards a treadmill. "We'll study your speed. Now get on." He said pointing to the treadmill strictly and glared at her. He couldn't tell what to make of the girl. Probably confusing was the word he was looking for. But possibly past beyond that.

Ash looked up at Isane meekly and nodded with a small smile. "O-Ok then..." She murmured, before walking towards Renji and giving him the best reassuring smile she could give. "Hello, Mr. Lieutenant Abarai." She greeted shyly before beginning to unwrap his shoulder. She frowned slightly as she saw the blood stain on the wraps grow as she continued to unveil the wound. 'I wonder what happened to him...' She thought curiously, but thought it best not to ask in case it was rather personal.

((Soi Fon! Awesome-ness!! XD))

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin squeaked and bowed nervously. "Sorry, Mayuri-sama!" she responded. Damn! She walked over to the treadmill and smiled, "The last time I was on one of these things I fell off and broke my ankle." she murmured to herself with a slight chuckle. Karin stepped onto the treadmill and waited for further orders.

Renji glanced up at Ash and smiled a bit, "Hey," he replied casually. "What's your name?" he asked.

((Yosh! She rules! xD))

Mayuri watched as she stepped on and closed his eyes, doing his best to calm himself. Once more, he placed the wires with suction cups on her arm, close to her heart, and on her lobes. "We'll see how fast your speed is. Let us start with 30 mph, first." He said before starting the speed adjuster and preparing himself with his clipboard for notes.

Ash blushed faintly before smiling shyly. "A-Ash Hinao." She stammered quietly before finally uncovering the bandage. She scowled at the wound, and traced her fingers around it carefully. "What happened...? M-May I ask...?" She asked quietly, before having a tint of pink on her cheeks and trying her best to examine the wound more carefully.

[xxShyGrlxx]

"T-thirty?" Karin stuttered. As the treadmill started, she quickly began to run to keep up with the speed. So far, she was doing a great job. I am so going to cheat with flash-step if I can..She thought with a devious smirk plastered on her face. She continued to run, but it increased each time a foot took a step infront of the other.

Renji smiled a bit and sighed, "A fight with one of the ryoka," he muttered. "Ichigo Kurosaki." he sighed.

((Hope that's okay to. xD))

[DarknessXLeader]

Mayuri studied her pace, and soon turned to the computers nearby. He jotted down things on the clipboard, and a faint smile appeared on his face. "Not bad. Let's raise it shall we?" He asked, before raising the speed to 50. He noticed Nemu in the room and ordered, "Get her a glass of water, will you?"

Ash fluttered her eyes and grew wide-eyed. "Ichigo...Kurosaki?" She asked before looking at the wound once more. 'Woah...deja vu...wait, I watched this on TV. I'm suppose to know this...duh..' She thought to herself feeling rather stupid of herself. She placed her hand on the wound gently and whispered, "I a-apologize if my hand is cold..." She closed her eyes before concentrating on the wound carefully, thinking hard on arteries, veins, and the regular body structure of the human shoulder. A faint white light grew under her hand, but she still kept her eyes shut tight.

((Not a problem. It's all fine, really. XD Do you mind if Ash has a sort of 'love triangle' thing with Renji? Haha, your charie loves the captains, mine's love the lieutenants. XD!!!))

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin looked at Mayuri in the corner of her eyes and smiled, sweat beats running down her face. "I don't need water, I'm not even tired!" she exclaimed. She looked foward and continued to run, she panted slightly but she still felt like she had a bundle full of energy. I feel so energized..I wonder why. Karin thought. She closed her eyes for a moment and opened them again. She imagined her spirit as a siberian tiger, Sweetness. A tiger. Rawr. I wonder.. Karin bit her lip, and stumbled a bit on the treadmill. She cursed under her breath but quickly caught up with the machine again.

Renji smiled a bit, "It doesn't bother me none," he told her as he shut his eyes. She seemed like she knows Ichigo..Huh..What if she's a ryoka to? Nah..I doubt it. He drifted into thought.

((xD I dont mind. Actually..Can I change Karin's crush from Shunsui, to Aizen please? :D I can't resist that traitor. xD))

[DarknessXLeader]

Mayuri blinked as he noted her stumbling. "Are you sure you don't need that water? It may help you." He noted, and studied her brain patterns. Stable, and precisely patternized. "Impressive..." He murmured before stroking his chin and looking back at Karin. "Would you like to go faster?" He asked, this time not caring to press any buttons or not till he was sure that she did. The specimen was indeed interesting, and he did not want to harm it in any way.

Ash peeked her eyes open and looked over at Renji. She gave a silent sigh. She was afraid slightly, that she had given away their possible 'cover'. If they had one that is. "So...um, are you having a n-nice day?" She asked, trying to make conversation. Silence made her nervous, and she didn't want to break her concentration on the wound. She lifted her hand and did her best not to shudder at the blood that was on it. She examined the wound and smiled seeing that it was ceasing it's bleeding with the newly repaired arteries, and veins and nodded. She placed her hand, pressing it lightly on his shoulder and glanced at Renji shyly.

((Awesome-ness! XD Of course! I play a better traitor than a flirt anyways...ROFL XD))

[xxShyGrlxx]

"I'm fine." Karin huffed as she continued to run. "Yeah, please increase the speed." she grinned. She wanted to see how fast she could actually run.


Renji nodded is head a bit, "Yeah," he smiled. "Being injured is one thing..But resting..yeah, that's good." he chuckled a bit and glanced at Ash. She's kinda cute..He thought.

((xD Okay.))

[DarknessXLeader]

Mayuri jotted more notes down onto his clipboard. "Impressive speed, capability of going over 50 mph. Average intelliegence. And strange reactions to some notions." He wrote down, and increased the speed towards 70 mph. "Tell when you'd like to stop, alright?" He noted, before tilting his head and studied her. 'How can one have this much adrenaline?' He wondered, looking at what time it was.

Ash weakly smiled and nodded. "Y-Yes, that is true." She stammered with a small laugh. She sighed, as she felt as if energy was being drained from herself into one small hand. 'Perhaps that's how it's healing...from my own energy...' She thought to herself with a questionable expression before shrugging. "Right, uh...this isn't hurting is it?" She asked, realizing that she had applied a bit of pressure on his shoulder when she felt his gaze on her. 'Oh gosh, what if I mess up!?' She suddenly though, frowning sadly at the possibility.

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin nodded and continued to run at 70 miles per hour. At this point, she was getting a little tired but she still had alot of energy left in her legs to run. This is great! She thought happily.


Renji shook his head, "Not at all," he answered.

[DarknessXLeader]

Mayuri tapped at his chin as he stared at her progress. Quickly scratching out 50 in his previous notes, he changed it to 70. He looked at the time momentarily, and slowed the adjuster down to a stop. "I believe it is time that we all take a break. Would you like some tea?" He asked, before striding off towards the door they had once entered through. "Nemu! Bring us some tea, will you?" He asked, before watching her nod and walking away on her own.

Ash sighed and nodded. "O-Ok..." She murmured before removing her hand. She grinned at her success and watched as it only seemed to look like a small scar, or flesh wound. "There! It's healed!" She exclaimed in success before beginning to further her examination on his shoulder. "Do you happen to have anymore wounds?" She asked with a slightly worried tone, and a tilt of her head.

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin stepped off of the treadmill and held her head for a moment. She looked up at Mayuri and grinned sheepishly, "That was alot of fun," she exclaimed childishly. I just hate how he makes Nemu do everything..She thought with a frown. Quickly realizing that Mayuri was walking away again, she quickly ran up to him to catch up.


Renji shook his head, "No, I don't think I do, heh," he grinned sheepishly. "If I do, I'll make sure to make Isane-fukutaichou to contact you." he said with a slight blush tinting his cheeks.

Isane smiled at Ash and Renji, Ah, they would look cute together..She thought. "Okay, Ash, That was great!" Isane exclaimed as she placed a hand on Ash's shoulder. "I don't think you need my help at all. Just a tip though, make sure not to use all energy on one wound. Heal it until it's closed mostly, and just rewrap it with more guaze tape, okay?" Isane exclaimed.

[DarknessXLeader]

Mayuri nodded as he heard her, and continued on his way till he arrived towards a small table, in the middle of the room. Sitting down calmly, he motioned for her to sit across from him. He paid no attention as Nemu placed the tea on the table for them and as she finished, he muttered a thanks before looking at Karin. "Your capability in speed is rather remarkable." He complimented, before taking a sip of his own tea.

Ash smiled back, and nodded. She noticed the tint of pink and wondered if it was a growing fever, but figured to leave it. Possibly he needed some rest was all. She looked to Isane, and nodded carefully listening to her advice. "A-Alright! I understand!" She exclaimed with a nod and grinned. She bowed to Renji, and muttered, "Thank you for allowing me to heal you!" She straightened her posture and blushed slightly before glancing at Isane. 'Wonder what we're going to do now...' She thought rather curiously, and excited before smiling brightly.

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin sat across from Mayuri and grinned at his compliment to her. "Thanks, Mayuri-sama," she replied happily. Karin looked down at the cup of tea and took a small sip. "What is there to do next?" she asked.

"No problem," Renji gave a slight salute with his other hand. "Thank you for healing me." he thanked before he let out a yawn and closed his eye. He knew he should probably rest now.

Isane chuckled at Renji's goofiness. She looked at Ash and headed towards the door. "Let's report back to Unohana-taicho, I'm not exactly sure what I should do next."

[DarknessXLeader]

Mayuri looked at the time once more and sighed. "For once, I don't know. Experiments have run dry before you came, and I haven't been able to think straight lately..." He grumbled while folding his arms over his chest, trying to wonder what other work he needed done. But sighed more aggravatedly knowing that he had finished most.

Ash laughed quietly at Renji and nodded. "Have a nice rest lietenant!" She said quietly, before quickly following after Isane. She didn't know why but she had a sudden boost of energy and confidence in her. She couldn't help but smile. "Alright then!" She exclaimed before wondering what they would be doing. "I-Isane fukutaichou? Do you ever recieve breaks, from work?" She asked curiously and quietly, trying and hoping not to offend anything.

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin frowned a bit, and leaned her chin on the palm of her hand. "Oh dear," she replied, resembling Gin's pouty act. (xD) Karin huffed and took another sip of tea. "If you don't mind, I would like to train. I want to practice Kido and other spell stuff." she exclaimed.


Isane walked down the halls of the squad 4 barracks while taking a glance back at Ash to answer her question. "Of course we do," she answered with a smile. "It depends on how much people are needed to be worked on. Since the ryoka been here, we have been working non-stop."

[DarknessXLeader]

"Hm? Oh, that's fine. I'll lead you to our training grounds." He stated before taking another sip. He stood up, and motioned for her to follow him before walking out of his room and down the hall. 'While she's training, I suppose I can look further into this girl's history...' He thought to himself, knowing that she had probably left a few strands of her DNA during the tests.

Ash blinked at the word 'ryoka' and gasped silently. 'Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!!!! We're absolutely in the show, and actually during the Soul Society arc!!! I need to tell Karin! But I don't know where she is! Gah!' She though frantically. It was like knowing what was going to happen, but really being in it! It was her dream come true, but it was all just too much. 'Wait...then what about Aizen, Tousen and Gin?' She thought, suddenly growing wide-eyed. "Ehm, might I ask...where is Aizen? Uh! I mean, Aizen-taichou? And ehh...Ichimaru-taichou?" She asked curiously, feeling suddenly dumb to ask so sudden and out of the blue.

((XD! Gin's pout is famous!! XD))

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin smiled happily and stood up from her chair and skipped down the hall next to Mayuri. "So, this may seem stupid but. How do you get a zanpakuto? Do you find it outside, or what?" she asked with a stupid grin.

Isane looked at Ash in confusion, Why would she want to know where they are? She wondered. Isane's expression saddened slightly, "Aizen had been found dead just a few days ago, Ichimaru has been accused of his murder but no other reports had been said." she exclaimed.

((Jup! Everytime everyone went quiet, I would sigh and go. "Oh dear," in the same exact voice. It was fun! XD))

[DarknessXLeader]

Mayuri blinked at the question. "Ah yes, I just realize. You don't seem to have a zanpaku-to now do you? Hmm, it takes time to have your own Zanpaku-to...naturally, it forms from the weilder's spirit energy." He explained as best as he could, glancing at her. "Have you come this far by just kido alone?" He asked curiously, with a questionable look.

Ash fluttered her eyes. "I see..." She murmured quietly, before bowing her head. 'It's Kyoka Suigetsu's work!' She thought to herself before scowling slightly. 'It'd be pretty cool if I could meet Ichimaru. That'd make my day.' She added to her thought before blinking. She suddenly remembered Kira, and Hinamori. "A-And how are the lieutenants?" She asked worriedly, most likely for Izuru's sake.

((XD!! That's awesome! I usually say 'Oh my..' when my friends try to blame something on me. xD It's hilarious when a teacher's involved and they just stare at you like: 'Wtf is wrong with her...? o.O' XD!!))

[xxShyGrlxx]

"Oooh," Karin nodded her head slowly in understandment. She looked up at Mayuri and nodded. "I'm pretty good at Kido if that's what your asking." she replied with a shrug.

Isane nodded, then glanced at Ash once more. "Izuru is fine, Momo..is currently severly injured but I am positive she will be fine."

((Haha. XD))

[DarknessXLeader]

Mayuri nodded as he continued to walk. 'Well, that scratches out the idea of a possible ryoka.' He thought to himself before shaking his head slightly. 'Feh, what was I thinking anyways. No ryoka is that fast enough.' He added to his train of thought before pushing open two wide doors. "This here is the 12th division training grounds, only for our squad and for possibly successful experiment tests." He explained before pushing a button and targets immediately popped up from the ground.

Ash sighed of relief to hear that Izuru was okay, but frowned as she heard of Momo. Suddenly remembering bits of what happened in the show, she quickly asked, "If it is alright, I am going to visit Mr. Lieutenant Izuru..." Her voice went small as she twiddled with her fingers. 'I hope I won't be too late...' She thought to herself, biting her lip slightly. 'Maybe I'll be able to change his mind...I hope...' She thought before sighing silently, and waiting for Isane's permission.

((I tend to get those kinda looks from everyone anyways...Rofl jk XD))

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin stared at the training ground in awe. Without thinking, as soon as a target popped out she twisted around and kicked it directly in the middle, breaking the target in half. "Whew, I thought that was a person," Karin laughed nervously and rubbed the back of her neck.


Isane nodded, "Go ahead," she answered. "Just be careful, I will let Unohana-taichou know where your at."

[DarknessXLeader]

Mayuri smiled and clapped his hands. "Very good reflexes. Most impressive." He complimented before grinning. 'Ryoka or not, I must find out how she is able to perform all this...' He thought to himself eagerly before figuring that he would stay and watch a while in case he gathered any more useful information.

Ash immediately brightened and nodded quickly. "Yes ma'am! I'll be sure to return as soon as possible!" She exclaimed, before quickly turning around and making her way past squad members swiftly and quickly. Finally pushing her way through the doors, she made her way towards the third division, actually feeling her legs quicken as she continued her pace. Arriving at the doors of the 3rd barracks, she panted heavily and slapped her hand on the doorway. "K-Kira!" She gasped before resting her forehead on the door. 'Don't be too late, don't be too late...' She prayed in her mind biting her lip in the process.

[xxShyGrlxx]

"Thank you!" Karin giggled, loving compliments from Mayuri. She looked around the training grounds and thought of what she might do first. "Maybe I'll practice Kido a bit more," she told herself. Karin walked further out into the training field, knowing the spell she was about to use was destructive. She placed her hand forward, while her left hand resting on her right wrist. She took a slow breath in and out, to relax. Karin's eyes then opened, "Pale Fire Crash!" she called out. And to her amazement, the spell worked. Blue fire bursted everywhere, burning targets and mostly everything infront of Karin. Karin did her best not to jump in joy, I have spiritual pressure. I really do have it! She thought happily. Finally she ended the spell and looked down at her hand, it was burned but not as painful as before.

Kira had been sitting in the 3rd divisions barracks, discussing things with Ichimaru. Until he heard that fimiliar voice, he quickly darted towards the door and began to open it. "Ash?"

[DarknessXLeader]

Mayuri watched carefully as she targetted the dummies, and took note of her expressions. 'If she were a true shinigami, she wouldn't quite be so excited...interesting.' He thought to himself, before blinking at the sound of Nemu. "What is it?" He asked slightly annoyed at being interupted from his thoughts.
"The execution of Rukia Kuchiki is about to begin." She replied in her usual tone.
"I see, thank you for telling me." He said nonchalantly, with a wave before glancing towards the Soukyoku Hill, which was able to be seen anywhere. "I suppose I should make my preparations." He murmured, before making his leave quietly. "Please, continue training as you wish. I will only take a while." He called back to Karin, before going into his room and turning on the computers. In a flash, they all took footage of what was going on at the Soukyoku Hill as of now.

Ash panted heavily before lifting her head to see Kira. She smiled weakly, before remembering the reason she was there. She quickly held the collar of his uniform and pulled herself close to him. "Don't do it Kira! Please!" She begged quietly, biting her lip in the process. She didn't want anyone to get hurt more. Not Kira, Rangiku, Hinamori, or Hitsugaya. She prayed that he would understand, or at least avoid the plans.

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin froze, Rukia..She thought. Rukia, infact was one of Karin's favorite characters. She turned to face Mayuri, "Im sorry captain but I am going to have to disobey you. I am going to Soukyoku hill to Rukia Kuchiki's execution.." she exclaimed. I know Ichigo and other's are going to help, but I want to be there to help. Karin thought. Without hearing any words from Mayuri, she flash-stepped away from him and towards Soukyoku hill.


Kira's eyes widened a bit, as he stared down at Ash. Does she know? He thought in a bit of panick. He had gradually grown feelings for Ash, now seeing her again he didn't want to do this. But what would his captain think? "Don't do what, Ash?" he asked, acting to be confused.

((WAAHH. I have to get blood drawn tomorrow. TELL ME IT'S GOING TO BE OKAY! Im freaking out over here. ><))

[DarknessXLeader]

Mayuri watched lazily as he saw Rukia just arriving into the scene. A flash caught his eyes on what of the monitors, and he quickly slowed the footage and zoomed in. His eyes grew wide as he slapped the panel with his fist. "What is she doing!?" He exclaimed loudly, before clenching his hands into fists. 'Damn girl.' He thought bitterly, before getting himself ready, and quickly running out of his barracks. He began to flash-step the rest of the way, trying to catch up with Karin. 'What is she thinking of doing?!' He yelled in his mind gritting his teeth.

Ash bit down on her lip harder, and quickly nudged Kira inside, before closing the door. She didn't quite want to make a scene whatwith some shinigami walking around carelessly. "Don't follow Ichimaru's plans...please, don't..." She whimpered still holding onto his uniform. She kept shaking her head, begging that he would listen to her.

In the meanwhile, Aizen was waiting at the spot of which he told Ichimaru to meet him at. He leaned against a wall, lazily beginning to wonder what was taking him a while. 'Perhaps still discussing the plans with his lieutenant...' He thought to himself, a smile on his lips as he adjusted his glasses to rest on the bridge of his nose.

(We're like, so messing up the whole Soul Society arc. XD)
((o.o It'll be okay! Trust me, just close your eyes reeeeeeally tight, hold your breath, and squeeze something. It usually works for me. ^^ Don't worry, it won't hurt! As long as you keep your mind off of it, it shouldn't hurt one bit! ^-^))

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin had realized that Mayuri was following her, Oh Im deep sh!t now..! She thought. She continued her flash-stepping, until she finally arrived at Soukyoku hill. Karin panicked a bit, seeing quite a few captains. Karin turned around and hoped Mayuri still wasn't on her trail. Karin closed her eyes and opened them again. "Rukia.." she whispered.

Kira's look saddened as he looked down at Ash. "Ash.." he whispered. "What are you talking about?" he asked, still acting as if this was all nonsense to his ears.


((Oh well. xD))
((Okay. ^^ I'll take your advice. I hate seeing my own blood though. Dx))

[DarknessXLeader]

Mayuri cursed to himself as he lost sight of Karin immediately. "Damn it." He hissed under his breath, before quickly quickening his pace. 'What business does she have with the Kuchiki girl anyways?' He thought to himself, before finally seeing the hill just ahead. He narrowed his eyes slightly, before arriving on the hill. He shot a glare at Karin, before noticing Rukia just beginning to walk towards the Sokyoku. He figured that he would have to deal with Karin later, and decided to be one of the few captains to remain as witnesses.

Ash's shoulders dropped as she listened to him. How was she going to say that she knew their plan and people were going to get hurt, without being questioned? She closed her eyes tightly before murmuring, "I...I overheard you and Ichimaru...discussing your plans. You were going to be a distraction for-...some shinigamis..." She did her best trying not to spill too much information, but she wasn't quite sure if it was working. She looked up at Kira's eyes, and stared into them, trying to decipher what he was thinking.

((Ooo! Can I be Rukia for a bit?! XD))
((Ah, well, just close your eyes real tightly. It usually works. ^^ I remember when I was little, I had like so many shots, I thought I was going to die from blood loss. XD I also blamed the shots, for the reason why my arms are so skinny. XD!! But don't really. I hate shots too. Ooo! Today we disected a grasshopper. XD It was so cool. My friends freaked on me though, so I had to do it alone. Dx))

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin's expression saddened as she saw Rukia arrive. Karin glanced back and sweatdropped, she spotted Mayuri but quickly looked away with a bright red face. Im doomed..She thought. Karin cracked her fingers and shut her eyes in thought. Shunsui and Ukitake will be here..Aizen, Gin and Kaname will be betraying us soon. Should I go to Central 46 and investigate? Byakuya and Ichigo will fight as soon as Rukia get's off the chain. I should help Hitsugaya, no..I should help Momo..Karin wondered. She shut her eyes and decided to stay here for a few moments. She wanted to witness this with her own eyes. It would be best to leave right after, knowing Mayuri will punish her for her act.


Kira's eyes widened a bit more, he looked down at his feet and sighed. "I think you heard us wrong, Ash," he responded while rubbing his and on the back of his neck. "Look, I should really go now. Rukia's execution is about to begin and I am sure your captain and leuitenant will be quite worried about you."


((Go ahead! We should somehow make Karin related to someone in Bleach.. I don't know who, maybe the Kuchiki family..or something. xD))
((Haha. Okay. I'll make sure I do. I'll think of Aizen or something. xD Eww..A grasshopper? Yuckeh. XP))

[DarknessXLeader]

Rukia lowered her head as she walked down what seemed to be an aisle. She did not dare glance up to the captains and lieutenants that arrived, and especially not Byakuya. The restraint at her throat, tied to her hands behind her back, began to irritate her, but she soon thought that it was better than it being executed. Turning around, she raised her head still not glancing towards the captains or lieutenants. However, her eyes landed on Karin and she blinked momentarily. 'I wonder who she is...' She thought to herself, not quite recalling to see her among the other shinigamis she use to normally see.

Ash looked at him with disbelief. 'Why is he still trying to hide his plans!?' She thought with saddened look. She grew wide-eyed, before quickly exclaiming, "NO! I'm not leaving! Not until you tell me the truth!" She gripped his uniform tightly before letting go. Her arms dropped to her sides, as she glanced behind Kira. 'I wonder if Ichimaru is there...if he is and I find him, maybe Kira will finally tell the truth.' She thought, biting her lip slightly. She was risking quite a bit if she was going to do that, but all she wanted was Kira to tell the truth. She looked up directly into his eyes, staring at him with a saddened expression.

((Yeah! That would be interesting. xD Let's go with the Kuchiki family! And probably, like make her the 'living' cousin or something, since Rukia and Byakuya are probably old in their soul years. o.o))
((Rofl! Yeah! That'd work! XD I would think of Gin. x3 LOL! I'm guessing you don't like grasshoppers too? xD Out of all my friends, I'm the only one that can look and touch a bug...quite sad. xD))

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin looked at Rukia, and locked eyes with her. Karin saddened a bit, but smiled. She knew she'd be fine, for now. Now we wait for Ukitake and Shunsui..She thought as she crossed her arms and impatiently tapped her foot against the ground. I wonder if I can go up against Aizen..What if he kills me right off the bat? No..He wouldn't..Would he? Of course he would..NO! Quit saying that! Karin argued with herself, making akward expression's on the outside. Finally letting out a scoff, she ended the argument between herself and her concious and watched Rukia walked up to the Soukyoku blade, and the other thing Karin forgot what it was called. (I blame her for it! DX)


Izuru hestitantly looked away from Ash, "Im sorry Ash," he muttered. "Captain's orders, I must go now." he said, with a hint of sadness in his tone. He moved back into the squad 3 barracks building and slid the door shut quickly. He looked down at his feet, saddened by what he had just done.

((Okie dokie! xD))
((Grasshoppers scare me. They hurt when they fly into you when your running. That's why I hate them, and cicadas (sp?) I was in school one time, and a cicada landed on my back and started making noises and I screamed and ran around like an idiot. -_-))

[DarknessXLeader]

Rukia blinked slowly, seeing the girl smile slightly. 'Who is she?' She wondered, but shook her head, seeing as how she was about to die anyways. She lifted her eyes as Yamamoto had asked her if she had any remaining words to say. She lowered her eyes, and raised them before smiling slightly herself. "I apologize to everyone...especially Kuchiki-taichou." She murmured before feeling the restraints being released and let a small sigh escape her lips. She blinked as her arms were raised to her sides, and stared at them blankly. Seeing herself raise, she felt her heart drop into her stomach, knowing death was inevitable.

Ash grew wide-eyed, before clenching her hands into fists. "Kira!!! Let me in!! Please!!" She exclaimed, pounding on the door rapidly. She pounded the door one last time, before resting her forehead against it. "Damn it.." She breathed through gritted teeth. 'I wonder if I could use kido against the door...no, that would cause too much of a scene...' She thought to herself, shaking her head in the meanwhile. She kicked the door out of frustration, before yelping quietly at the pain. 'I'm so useless!! What can I do to stop him!?' She thought angrily, before remembering the Central 46. 'Maybe if I go there, Kira will be there, and so will Rangiku...but what will I do?' She thought quickly and growled under her breath at her dismay. She looked at the 3rd barracks and looked around. 'There's gotta be a backway somehow...' She muttered to herself, before looking around inspecting the area. Noticing the gate, seperating the third barracks, she tapped at her chin. 'If Karin can flashstep, then maybe, just maybe I can jump high. I just need to concentrate on my spiritual energy...' She thought to herself, before doing just that, and exhaling. Quickly jumping into the air, she nearly slipped as she gripped on the high wall structure for her life. Bringing herself up, she balanced herself and looked at the roofs. Quickly and silently making her way onto the 3rd's roof, she balanced herself and bit her lip out of fear. "What do I do now?" She breathed to herself, feeling her heart race.

((O.O Wow. I heard that cicadas make those annoying sounds, but I don't know what they look like. They sound cool though. I remember when I was little, and in school, I just finished recess, and was getting ready to get in a line, when people were like: "FREEZE!" I stopped, and asked why, then they said that a yellow jacket was on my back. I was SOOOOO freaked out. They even said that they were about to just get a rolled up magasine and wack my back, and I was like: "WHAT ARE YOU CRAZY!? It'll sting me!!"))

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin chuckled to herself, and vanished. Of course, she flash-stepped away, and towards Central 46. It took her quite awhile to figure out where she was going, but as soon as she recognized the building. She flash-stepped towards it and stood infront of the doors. No use in trying to get in through the doors. I need to get in a different way.. She thought. I wonder if Aizen's here yet..She wondered with a shrug, she skillfully jumped onto the roof of Central 46 and stomped her foot with all her strength. Finally, the floor crashed down and Karin fell in. "Wahh!" Karin cried, painfully landing on her arm. She slowly got up and rubbed her arm, looking around she spotted the dead bodies. Karin gasped, horrified at the scene. Karin bit her lip and gazed around some more. Where now? She wondered. "Sosuke Aizen? Are you here?" she called out.

((Whose going to be Gin? Im quite confused on what to write for Izuru.. Oh dear.. xD))

((Yikes. A yellow Jacket is a bee right? ^^'))

[DarknessXLeader]

Gin waited for Kira, as he left to open the door. He had heard quite a bit, but not enough. He calmly stood waiting for his return and kept his usual smile plastered across his face. As he returned he asked, "And who was that, Izuru-san?" His voice showing no sign of worry, or fear for his own life. He glanced towards the direction of the clock. 'Poor Aizen's waitin' for me...' He thought to himself, doing his best not to chuckle.

Aizen stood casually in the shadows, and frowned slightly as he didn't sense Ichimaru's energy, but a different one. Regaining his composure, he figured he would be able to flick this one off easily. Turning the corner, he stared at the girl and looked to the bodies. Averting his eyes as if doing his best not to stare at the scene, he said, "What happened here? You shouldn't be here, it's rather dangerous." He neared the girl, and stared at her. She wasn't a shinigami that he knew of, or at least seen around.

Ash clinged herself onto the roof and breathed deeply. She looked down and stared at the roof's tiling. "If I do exactly what I'm thinking right now, I'll be in reeeeeeal deep trouble..." She muttered to herself before scowling. She inhaled a fair amount of air before shaking her head. 'No time to chicken out!' She thought quickly before jumping, and stomping her feet against the roof. She shrieked as she soon fell down, with a thud and held her legs close to her chest. She blinked and coughed as she found herself in the same style, and on top a fair amount of wood and dust. 'I am soooo dead...' She thought to herself, as she looked up to see the hole in the roof above her. She scowled lightly, before regaining motion in her legs and hid herself in the shadows of whatever room she was in.

((I'll be Gin for now I guess! xD))

((Yeah, I was freaking out. xD I was afraid it might've stung me...>.>))

[xxShyGrlxx]

Izuru looked up at Gin, slightly startled by his question. "U-um..No one important, Gin-sama," he answered. "A new soul reaper I met earlier today."

Karin quickly looked up, gazing towards Aizen with great admiration in her eyes. "Sosuke Aizen..," she whispered. Quickly realizing what he said, she couldn't help but chuckle. "Oh, don't play dumb. You know you did this. I know everything. I know your next move. I know Momo is going to come here. I know Gin and Kaname are also traitors like you." she grinned. Now take me with you! Karin thought. She knew that Aizen would be shocked at her knowledge. Of course, Karin was a huge fan of Bleach how could she not know everything about it?


((xD))

[DarknessXLeader]

Gin tilted his head, his smile still across his face. "Oh? Wasn't any trouble, were they?" He asked curiously. From what he scarcely heard he could tell that it was a female. He raised his eyebrows slightly at the sound of breaking wood. He shrugged it off and soon thought nothing of it. Glancing towards the clock once more, he figured that Aizen could wait just a little bit longer.

Aizen stared at the girl rather speechless. For one thing, how was she suppose to know of Momo's arrival, and second, how could she have known of Gin and Kaname? Staring at her momentarily, he smiled. "Well aren't you a clever girl. And here I thought I had fooled everyone...what is your name?" He asked curiously, continuing to stare down at her.

[xxShyGrlxx]

Izuru sighed, "No," he answered. "They weren't any trouble at all." he added.


"My name's Karin," She replied with a bright smile. Loving the expression she had gave Aizen. Wait a minute..From what I seen on T.v..Isn't he using Kyoka Suigetsu or whatever it's called? Is it really him now? Ugh.. Damn it. Quit confusing yourself! Karin closed her eyes for a moment before opening them again. "Your not going to kill me are you?" she asked, a hint of hurt in her voice. She had hoped she didn't come here just to get herself killed by her favorite character of all time- the character she admired the most more than Mayuri.

[DarknessXLeader]

Ash panted slightly, as she heard the conversation going on between Ichimaru and Kira. She bit her lip nervously, closing her eyes as tightly as she could. 'What the hell do I do!?' She thought to herself feeling her heart pounding heavily. She peeked her head around the corner, and grew wide-eyed seeing Ichimaru's back near. She quickly hid herself once more, doing her best to keep her breathing steady.

Gin nodded and smiled broadly. "Good." He glanced behind him, sensing a new spiritual energy easily. Looking back to Kira, he nodded his head behind him, signaling for him to check on what it was. If it was a spy, he would easily kill them without hesitant. Aizen wouldn't think twice, that was for sure.

Aizen stared at her curiously, wondering why on earth she was smiling happily. "Kill you? Now why on earth would I do that? You seem to be rather knowledgeable of what's going on anyways..." He said cooly with a smile. "Out of all the other dense shinigamis why kill an actual smart one?" He asked still smiling. He wanted to know more of this girl. If she really was knowledgeable as she perceived herself to be, then perhaps she would become good use.

[xxShyGrlxx]

Kira look at Gin, hesitating at his silent order. He also sensed the spiritual energy and knew right away it was Ash. Kira bowed his head before walking passed Gin and in the direction of Ash's spiritual pressure. He had to get her out of here, he didn't want her to get hurt.


"Really?" Karin blinked her eyes, and smiled even more. She bowed her head a bit and sighed. "I feel honored." she muttered. But then that means Aizen might just want to use me..She thought sadly.

[DarknessXLeader]

Ash looked around quickly and clawed her nails deep into her arm, as she hugged herself. She knew she was going to get caught soon and feared for her life. She looked around and found a small dark corner. She quickly and silently walked towards it and held herself in the shadows, hiding silently. She blended in quickly, except for the fact that she was a dark bulge, she clutched her knees and hoped that she wasn't found.

Gin glanced as Kira walked passed him and watched his leave. He looked towards the clock once more and sighed quietly to himself. 'Aizen's not gonna be happy when we arrive...' He thought to himself with a slight pout before smiling once more to himself.

Aizen smiled slightly, before nodding to himself. "Of course. If you are willing, you may be a part of my plans. That is, if you wish to." He said calmly, in his smooth voice before grinning slightly. He adjusted his glasses once more, before frowning slightly at the clock. They were taking their precious time away, and he did not have that much to begin with from the first place.

[xxShyGrlxx]

Kira had still found Ash quickly, of course he wouldn't have seen her if he hadn't of tripped over her foot. Stumbling forward a bit, Kira caught himself and looked over to the side. "Ash?" he whispered, trying not to seem angry. "You have to leave. If you keep following us your going to get killed. Leave NOW." Kira said, sternly.


Karin felt as if her heart stopped. She couldn't believe this was happening, of course- in all the anime's she watched, she did love the bad guys. (xD) But now having the opportunity to be with a few of her favorites out of all, could she really join them? Could she leave Shunsui, Mayuri, or even her best friend Ash? Finally thinking of an answer, Karin smiled but kept silent. She saw that Aizen was getting a bit impatient. "It seems Gin isn't here yet. Do you need me to go fetch him for you? Maybe the poor man can't read the clock." she asked, feeling the need for her little joke.

[DarknessXLeader]

Ash grumbled to herself as her foot tripped Kira slightly and scowled lightly at the given tone. She looked up at him deeply, and steadied her breathing. "I won't leave. Not until you tell me truthfully that you will not go with the plan." She said returning the stern tone justfully. "I won't let you go through trouble either." She added in a whisper, still hugging her knees tightly.

Aizen wondered to himself if the smile was a 'yes' or rather a 'no'. Either way, she would be an interesting addition to his plan, even if she said no. He smiled to himself at her small joke and nodded. "That is true...however, his only reason for arrival is to guide Momo...if he doesn't come, would you care to fill his position?" He asked calmly looking down at her with a gentle smile.

[xxShyGrlxx]

Kira stayed quiet, he felt anger building deep inside of him. He didn't want to deal with her anymore, knowing the guilt would keep building up and he would feel miserable. Kira looked down at his feet, playing his role as an actor. He placed a saddened look on his face, "I wont go with the plan Ash, I promise," he looked at her with a soft smile. "I still owe you that ramen don't I? We never got to finish it did we?" he asked. I hope my plan works. If it doesn't. Gin, will surely have my head. Kira thought. "We should go out tonight."


Karin rocked back and forth on her heels, thinking about Aizen's question. "I would, but Momo doesn't even know who I am," she replied while looking up at Aizen. His calm smile, it always made her feel so relaxed. Although she couldn't tell if it was a real smile or not. "Oh, and Im honored to be apart of your plans. Count me in." she smiled.

[DarknessXLeader]

Ash stared at him in disbelief. She couldn't quite tell if he was telling her the truth or not, but this was a person she grew to love, watching the series and being in the series as well. 'Well...he did promise...' She thought to herself, biting her lip slightly. Being her gullible self, if someone said the word 'promise', she took them seriously. Feeling a small blush appear on her cheeks, she nodded. "Fine...but only because you promised..." She muttered quietly, standing up. "I'm sorry if I'm going to make you in trouble." She added quietly, with a small smile before quickly kissing his cheek and waved shyly. "B-Bye!" She whispered, before quietly taking her leave down one of the halls and opened a window silently, and crawling out of it. 'He promised, so everything will be fine! I know it will!' She thought to herself, simply ecstatic at the thought of actually helping out a cause in someway. 'Oh, right...what about Aizen? And Momo!?' She thought to herself, suddenly wondering about them. 'I should find Karin! That's for sure!' She thought to herself with a grin, before quickly dashing out of the 3rd division barracks, and jumping over the wall silently.

Gin sighed once more before beginning to become impatient. "Kira. What's takin' ya?" He called lazily, folding his arms over his chest. He could feel the other spiritual energy fading and smirked slightly as it was gone. 'Could've done it quicker in my opinion...' He thought to himself with a shrug, before wondering where his lieutenant was.

Aizen frowned slightly, but shook his head no matter what. "Well that's a shame. We'll just have to hope Gin comes soon then." He said simply before staring down at her. He smiled as she agreed to join him and nodded. "That is good to hear." 'Well, this one was rather easy to persuade...' He thought to himself glancing towards the direction of the open door, attentively.

[xxShyGrlxx]

Kira blushed faintly, placing his finger tips along the side of his face were Ash had kissed him. Then, hearing Gin's voice he quickly looked over and walked back to his captain. "Sorry about that captain," he replied, rubbing the back of his neck nervously. "We should get going right away. Aizen's still waiting."


Karin frowned a bit, and leaned against one of the pillars. Will I really betray the soul society? Or will I back down the last second? She wondered. She glanced up at the ceiling, where she had broke through. She smiled a bit, but it began to fade. Karin turned her head towards Aizen and studied him. He's probably just going to use me. And to tell the truth, I haven't seen all of Bleach yet..Karin thought as she gulped silently. Damnit Gin. Hurry so we can leave!

[DarknessXLeader]

Ash skipped her way down the street and smiled to herself brightly. "I got to help people today, and I'm actually getting a date tonight..." She muttered to herself, in a small chirp before laughing quietly to herself. She looked up to notice the 12th division lieutenant Nemu Kurotsuchi and remembered Karin being in the squad. 'Perhaps she knows where she is...' She thought to herself with a grin. Walking up to her, she asked, "Excuse me, do you know where Karin is? I believe she's on your squad." Nemu stared at her momentarily before shaking her head. "She ran off somewhere, I do not know." She said in her slight monotone way. Ash grew wide-eyed quickly. "Ran off somewhere?" She repeated, before quickly darting around Nemu and running off to who knows where. 'Where could she be? What if she's hurt somewhere!?' She thought to herself, worry suddenly clinging to her heart for her friend.

Gin grinned, and nodded. "Yep, glad to see it wasn't any trouble. You started to get me worryin'." He stated, before quickly taking flashstep out of the 3rd barracks backway, and onto the roofs. "You know the plan. Stall anyone that comes in our way." He called to Kira, at the backdoor before flashstepping the remainder of the way towards the Central 46.

Aizen sighed silently for a moment, before a smile curled onto his lips as he sensed Gin's spiritual energy nearing. "Finally." He muttered to himself, before beginning to wonder if Momo was arriving with him. He couldn't sense anything, but was confident that Gin knew the plan.

[xxShyGrlxx]

"Got it." Kira called out to Gin.
{I forgot what happens. I know he runs into Rangiku and Toushiro then it runs completley blank. xD}

Karin kept her eyes shut, and just watched the next few events go through her head. Ash would surely hate Karin if she betrayed the soul society like Aizen, Gin and Kaname. I follow the path with the least amount of blood. Like Kaname Tousen always said..Karin thought with a soft smile. Karin them opened her eyes, she knew she had been lost in thought for quite awhile. Surely enough, Gin had to be here by now.

[DarknessXLeader]

Ash panted slightly under her breath as her legs carried on their own as she ran through the streets. 'Where could she be!?' She thought worriedly feeling her heart race rapidly. She hopped onto the roofs quickly, racing towards the Central 46. 'Would she be there? Aizen's there...but, she wouldn't go there would she?' She thought to herself, before stopping in her tracks. She clutched her head, feeling a growing headache. "Damn it, Karin where are you!?" She hissed under her breath, feeling her heart sink gradually.

Gin grinned as he emerged from the shadows in time to find Momo. "Yo..." He greeted casually, before commencing with the plan.

Aizen smiled down at Karin seeing her in deep thought. "Something in your mind?" He asked, quietly before pulling her gently towards the shadows. "They should be arriving at any moment, wouldn't want Momo to be jealous." He said jokingly before laughing quietly to himself. He knew Momo admired him greatly. That was partly why she played a great part in the current plan.

((xD Kinda with me with Aizen...I turned blank for a bit, before remembering it again. Ehm, Hitsugaya and Rangiku split up when Kira arrives, Rangiku fights Kira for a bit, Hitsugaya goes to find Momo. And yeaah...xD Want me to be Rangiku too, or no? xD))

[xxShyGrlxx]

Aizen smiled down at Karin seeing her in deep thought. "Something in your mind?" He asked, quietly before pulling her gently towards the shadows. "They should be arriving at any moment, wouldn't want Momo to be jealous." He said jokingly before laughing quietly to himself. He knew Momo admired him greatly. That was partly why she played a great part in the current plan.

((xD Kinda with me with Aizen...I turned blank for a bit, before remembering it again. Ehm, Hitsugaya and Rangiku split up when Kira arrives, Rangiku fights Kira for a bit, Hitsugaya goes to find Momo. And yeaah...xD Want me to be Rangiku too, or no? xD))


Karin opened her eyes, feeling herself being pulled away from the piller. "No not really," Karin murmured. "So do I just stay back here? I don't want to be left out." she pouted.

((xD. Do we have to do the Kira thingy? I dont really want to. I cant remember it at all. Dx))

[DarknessXLeader]

((Nah we don't. xD I really don't wanna have 4 characters anyways. But I'll just say that Ash passed by their fight and saw Kira and yeah...xD))

Ash panted as she made up her mind in going towards the Central 46. She continued her running on the roofs, when something caught her eyes nearby. Rangiku and- 'No...it can't be...' She thought, feeling her heart sink to her stomach. She felt as tears welled up in her eyes as she saw Kira, and knew that he had lied to her. Shaking her head, and running quickly so that she was unable to be seen she rubbed at her eyes roughly. 'He lied to me...I'm such an idiot...' She thought to herself trying to regain herself. Seeing the Central 46 just ahead, she swallowed hard before slowly ceasing her pace to a jog, and concentrated hard on her spiritual energy so she was able to hide it. Or at least she hoped she did.

Aizen chuckled at her pouting and placed his hand on her head. "Appear when you want to, alright?" He said sensing Gin and Momo already near the door. Turning around and watching as they entered, he smiled as the plan was finally falling into place. "Hello Momo." He greeted with his kind smile and stared down at Momo as he flash stepped to appear in front of her.

[xxShyGrlxx]

((Okie dokie. xD))

Karin stood there in the shadows, not sure if she was happy or upset. She was on her favorite show Bleach, on her favorite squad. It was everything she ever wanted. Karin shifted on her feet nervously as she watched Aizen and Momo, nibbling on her thumb nervously. Karin wondered if she would be able to handle this in person rather then seeing it on television. Letting out a slow sigh, Karin leaned against the wall and told herself to calm down. I..can I really betray everyone? She asked herself.

(Want me to be Momo?)

{Oooh! I have an idea! x3 Can Karin be a hollow lady? xD Like, the hollows like her and are loyal to her. I just imagined a Menos Grande and Karin staring at each other and Karin being like: "OMGWTFBBQ??!?!" and the Menos puts his hand out to her, and she's like: O_o, and he lifts her up and takes her away with Aizen and the others. That's fricken creepy man. I would probably die..xD}

[xxShyGrlxx]

{Blargh! I have to go. Talk to you tomorrow. >< Stupid school. Dx}

[DarknessXLeader]

Ash breathed deeply before noticing Hitsugaya arriving from a far distance. She blinked, before quickly escaping into the shadows and on her way in. She flinched slightly as she felt something recognizable. 'Karin...' She thought to herself before quickening her pace into a flashstep, and hiding herself in the shadows. She smiled slightly to herself as no one had caught her yet, meaning she was able to hide her spiritual energy quite well.

Aizen held Hinamori by her shoulders and smiled. "I'm glad you were able to come." He simply stated, still smiling broadly.

((Yeah, didn't know what to put for Aizen. xD And yes please! xD))

{LOL! That's an awesome idea. xD If it were me I'd be like: "O-O...ZOMGWTFAHHHHHH!!!!! *faints*" xD!! But yeah, that'd be cool! ^^}

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin looked up at the ceiling, imediatley getting knocked out of her thoughts when she felt the presence of her friend- Ash. Karin let out a slight growl and darted her eyes around the room. Ash is here..She told herself with a sigh.

Momo trembled as she stared into her captains eyes. Not believing that he was actually still alive. She couldn't bring herself to speak, she was so happy.

(xD I forget what she says. ><)

{Yeah. Same here.)

[DarknessXLeader]

Ash breathed silently, hiding in the shadows and finding the small group easily. She ran next to Karin, and leaned against the wall, as well. "So. Finally got to meet Aizen, huh?" She asked staring at Aizen blankly, before averting her eyes to Karin with a small smile.

((Oh well, I'll just skip to the stabbing, xD))

Aizen smiled at her expression, before patting her head for a bit. "Thank you for all you've done..." He whispered before stabbing Kyoka Suigetsu straight through her, with a still smile.

[xxShyGrlxx]

"Heh.." Karin chuckled, glancing at Ash through the corner of her eyes. Karin's eyes were much dull looking then they were before- much colder. "Yes, finally." Karin smiled evilly. I am so bad ass. She thought.

((Woot!))

Momo's eyes widened, the pain that had all of a sudden grew in her chest was unbarable. Her eyes still staring into Aizens, "C-captain Aizen.." her voice was shakey. She felt so betrayed, his eyes weren't like they used to be..So cold.

[DarknessXLeader]

Ash narrowed her eyes as she looked into her eyes. 'They've changed...' She thought to herself sadly, before closing her eyes. "Too bad, y'know? I thought you'd be smarter than go and change your ways..." She muttered before staring at her sharply. She grew wide-eyed as Momo fell to the floor, and quickly flash-stepped her way towards her. "Hinamori! Keep your eyes open!" She yelled, holding her body with a frown. She glared up at Aizen and felt her hands curling into fists. 'I really wish I had a zanpaku-to right now...' She thought to herself with a low growl.

Aizen smiled darkly, as he removed his blade from her body and watched as she fell. He blinked as a new person appeared and glanced to Karin. "An acquaintance of your's I presume?" He asked her with an unusual smile in her direction.

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin glared at Ash, then glanced at Aizen. "An acquaintance? More like enemy," Karin grumbled. She clenched her fists and looked up at Aizen. She averted her gaze back at Ash, her blood was boiling in anger. Karin didn't know what she wanted to do, attack Ash or just sit and wait. Damn it. Damn it. Damn it! Karin growled.

[DarknessXLeader]

Ash lowered her head as she heard that. 'Why did she change?' She thought to herself, feeling her own heart hollow. First Kira, now Karin, her best friend. Raising her head once more, she took a glance at Karin and nodded, before looking to Aizen. "Yes...an enemy..." She muttered before holding Momo close to her, her blood already beginning to make a puddle. "Hitsugaya will come at any moment to stop you from killing anymore, and so will Unohana and Isane..." She hissed before, looking down at Momo with solemn eyes.

Aizen smirked to himself, before glancing down at the girl. "Oh, I know that already...thanks to you enemy she's foretold most of which will occur." He said smoothly with a smile. "Of course, I cannot allow you to go free without any memorial wounds..." He noted before smiling to himself. "Karin, would you like to do the honors?" He asked, still locking his eyes on Ash deathly.

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin smirked, and cracked her knuckles. "I'd love to, Aizen," Karin replied. She glanced up at Aizen then over at Ash. Karin frowed slightly, and began walking towars Ash slowly.

{Gotta go. ><}

[DarknessXLeader]

Ash sighed silently to herself as she watched Karin walk over to her. "Fine..." She muttered to herself before resting Momo's head gently on the floor and standing up. 'I won't attack her...the most I can do is just avoid her attacks...' She thought to herself, biting her lip slightly and staring at her blankly in the eyes.

((Awwws, Bye-bye..><))

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin smirked at Ash, before lunging at her and disappearing. She had accelerated into a flash-step and appeared behind Ash, taking Momo by the collar and tossing her to the side. "I wont hurt you, Ash," Karin said, a little louder than a whisper. "I'll simply knock you out. I'll make sure you don't remember though. And I will make sure Momo is dead."

[DarknessXLeader]

Ash simply glanced back at Karin before smiling calmly. "You always did have a grudge against Momo, didn't you?" She asked with a steady voice, before darting her eyes towards the direction of Momo, and flash stepping in time to catch her. She grunted slightly as she slid against the tiled floor, and continued to carry Momo in her arms. 'If I just let her alone, Karin'll surely kill her, no doubt.' She thought to herself, staring in Karin's direction. "I won't let you attack me Karin, and nor will I attack you...but I will never forgive you in your decision as well." She said trying to sustain the anger in her tone. As she finished, Hitsugaya arrived just in time to witness, and took no hesitation in attacking Aizen.

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin simply placed her hands on her hips and tilted her head back a bit and let it roll to the side as she stared at Ash carelessly. "I don't care!" Karin responded, reaching her hand up and smiling. Ah, this is my first time using a binding spell. I hope it works.. She thought. She pointed her hand at Ash, and focused. "Restrain," she focused all her spiritual pressure and used all her strength on this binding spell.

[DarknessXLeader]

Ash clenched her teeth before feeling her arms immediately go to her back. "Sh*t!" She cursed under her breath, as the restraint practically snapped quickly onto her body. She felt her knees collapse to the floor and stared as Momo's body fell limply. Glaring up immediately at Karin, she closed her eyes tightly. The more she fought, the more the restraint seemed stronger. 'Tch, so this is what Strawberry actually had to go through? Tough...' She thought to herself carelessly, and panting quietly. 'Though, if he's able to counter it, and Karin's able to perform Kido, then I should be able to try at least...even if it kills me...' She thought to herself frowning at the possible outcome. Concentrating hard on her spiritual energy, she clenched her teeth tighter as she felt her arms practically rip apart from each other. She nearly screamed as she felt her muscle ligments practically breaking from releasing herself from the binding spell. Her arms fell to her sides, limply, and she continued to glare at her. "Why the hell are you even doing this Karin?" She asked between breaths of air, wincing at the burning pain her broken muscles in her arms.

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin stayed still, and stared down at Ash. The corner of her lips rolled up into a smile. "Why am I doing this?" Karin repeated, with a shrug of her shoulders. She took a step towards Ash and stared down at her coldly. "Not only to be with Aizen. But to gain power. When Mayuri did a few tests on me I found out a few interesting things. I knew I was stronger than the average soul reaper. I had to find out more. That's what I plan to do. If I go with Aizen, I know I will get far," she exclaimed. "Not only that. Im going to help Aizen, since I know everything that's going to happen.." she chuckled. "Next." she added. Karin sighed, her lips moving into a pouty frown, seeing that Ash was getting out of her binding spell. Karin knew the restrain wasn't all to strong. Oh well, Karin had much more tricks up her sleeves.

[DarknessXLeader]

Ash glared up at her as she spoke. She panted quietly, breathing as steadily as she could. "Then you're willing to give up everything? Everything you loved? Even our memories?" She asked, her voice doing her best not to choke on the tears that slowly began to blur her vision. "Fine..." She muttered before standing up limply, and quickly jumping away from her. Raising her arms as best and hard as she could, she began to enchant the spell for Hainawa: "Strike, serpent of light. Ensnare and bind thy foe." The words easily escaping her lips in a hiss before watching as energy ropes began to emerge from the ground and towards Karin's arms. 'This'll keep her for a while...' She thought to herself, before shivering to herself as Hitsugaya performed his shikai.

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin's eyes widened, seeing the ropes coming her way. She backed up slowly before pulling her arms out forward. "Damn it. If that's how you want to play," Karin growled. Acting quick, she had to make sure those ropes did not get to her. "Blue Fire, Crash Down!" Karin cried out, the all to fimiliar destructive spell she loved to use. It was her best spell. The fire like spiritual energy bursted towards her, roaring like a tiger- showing it's might. That it was powerful, that Karin was showing no remorse.
Having an intelligent mind, Karin was already two-steps ahead of Ash and was already planning ahead. Karin was older, stronger, faster, and supposibly better than Ash. She could not let Aizen down.

"If this is how it is going to be, Ash. I will kill you!" Karin threatened.

[DarknessXLeader]

Ash merely tilted her back a bit as Karin appeared before her. She narrowed her eyes at the threat, and began to think quickly. Her arms were still in pain, and could possibly break by the time they finished. She needed more time to stall her, already knowing ahead of time that Aizen would probably stop her so they would head towards the Soukyoku Hill. She may have been younger, and weaker than Karin, but she was smart and calculating. "Very well then." She simply replied to her threat, before raising her hand and muttering, "Thrust." With that, she slid away easily against the ice covered floor and away from Karin.

((Think we should bring Unohana in soon?))

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin's arms dropped to her side, watching as Ash moved away from her. Karin studied her for a moment, then looked around for Aizen. We should be heading to Soukyokou hill soon..Karin thought.

{Yah! Oh poo. Im Unohana aren't I? And Isane? Oh yeahh.. x3 Could you please take the role of Unohana for now? I would like Isane? I only seem to remember her role.}

[DarknessXLeader]

((xD Okie dokie then! Same with me, 'cept only with Unohana. xD))

Ash winced slightly to herself as her arms soon became numb. 'Sh!t, that isn't always a good sign...' She thought to herself, before glancing towards the direction of Aizen. She watched as he stabbed right through him, and bit down on her tongue, regretfully feeling guilty that she wasn't able to save him somewhat too. 'I can't do anything with dead arms...' She thought to herself sadly, before staring at Karin then soon towards the entrance. She sensed someone coming.

Unohana sighed quietly to herself before walking steadily yet somewhat quickly towards the Central 46. Isane had told her of Ash's location, and she couldn't help but feel rather suspicious. Feeling many other spiritual energies she narrowed her eyes slightly before staring at the dark building. "Aizen." She said simply before noticing Ash, Momo, Hitsugaya, Aizen, a different shinigami, and Gin hiding in the shadows. "I should've known..." She muttered to herself before shaking her head slightly.

[xxShyGrlxx]

[M'kay. xD]

Karin glanced towards the entrance. Of course, she knew it was Unohana and Isane. Karin sighed, and leaned against the wall. She felt no need for herself to be involved unless Aizen told her to be. I wish this was over with, this is getting quite boring. Getting ignored like this and all..

[DarknessXLeader]

Ash smiled slightly as she saw Unohana. She felt her eyes twitch slightly, before feeling all the numbness in her arms go towards her head. 'Damn it...' She thought to herself, falling to her knees limply, and feeling darkness engulf her concious quickly.

Unohana frowned as she watched Ash fall unconcious and raised her head towards Aizen. "I should've known from the very beginning that you were still alive Aizen." She stated before narrowing her eyes towards him.

Aizen merely smiled calmly, before flashstepping behind Karin. Holding her shoulders calmly, he carried her through flashstep and placed her on the ground as he appeared near Gin, who was already beginning the teleportation spell. "You're clever Unohana, but my friend here has beaten you all to the real plot. Good job on the effort however." He said with a simple grin, before placing his hand on the top of Karin's head. "You've done well." He complimented, smiling casually down at her.

((Just speeding things up...I'm too lazy to go through the whole dialogue. xD))

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin looked up at Aizen, startled at Aizen's sudden actions. She smiled a bit and nodded. "Thank you, Aizen." Karin replied calmly, while averting her eyes coldly towards Unohana. Karin spotted Ash, she frowned slightly seeing that she had finally been knocked out of conciousness. Oh well..She thought.

{It's fine. xD I just want to get to the fun part! :D}

Unohana stared at him steadily, before saying, "You are a traitor now, and all of Soul Society will have your head." She said with an unusual hiss like tone. (For some reason I can see aside from Unohana's motherly kindness, and dark murderous side...when having a reason of course. xD)

Aizen stared back with a casual smile. "Then so be it." He simply stated before, signaling Gin to go on with the teleportation spell with a wave of his hand. He smiled as they were soon wisped to the destination of where Tousen would meet them soon enough.

Unohana sighed before looking to Isane behind her. "Isane. Report this to all of Soul Society, and Aizen's destination." She ordered patiently, before walking towards the bodies on the floor and carried them towards on spot in the room.

((xD Same here!))

[xxShyGrlxx]

[Yeah. I know. It would be scary though. o_O]

[I dont remember the exact chanting Isane does. So I'll just write what Wikipedia has. xD I'll do my best.]

Isane nodded, following her captain's orders. Moving to an area that had a little more room, she got onto her knees and got out a bottle of ink. She then made a circle with the ink and made a few figures inside of it. "Summoning of the Tracking Sparrows!" Isane said, she quickly tracked down all captains. Seeing all of them were okay. "I found the captains, Unohana-taichou." She reported. Before she stood up and began to do something else. Using the ink, she began to draw a zig-zag line on her left arm. "Heavenly Rickshaws in Silken Air!" Isane chanted, a blue light emitted from her arms as her outstretched hands began to form a circle. She then began to give out a report to everyone in the siretei. Telling every little detail they needed to know. {Sorry I forgot what she says. ><}


Karin stayed silent, still standing closely next to Aizen. Her favorite part in the whole series was about to happen.

[DarknessXLeader]

(xD Yeah it would! But still so much fun! xD It would be so creepy though if you just looked out your window and there was a huge creepy hand right there. It's like: "Ahh, what a beautiful morning the sun is shining, the birds are singing, there's a huge hand outside my- wait...WTF!?" xD!!)



Unohana nodded to Isane's statement as she found the captains. She slowly began to heal Momo's wound carefully, and looked to Ash. Smiling slightly, she thought to herself, '[I]Must wonder why she came here...' She pushed the thought away before beginning her healing on Ash, when she jumped and sat up quickly, startling Unohana for a bit. "Glad your awake..." She muttered with a warm smile, before placing her hand on her forehead.

Ash stared blankly up at her. Her arms still in pain, but she couldn't allow herself to not see Karin one more time, even if it were her last. "I'm sorry. I'll return to the barracks as soon as possible." She quickly said before flashstepping her way out, ignoring her orders to stay put and be fully healed before doing anything else. She panted roughly, under her breath and gritted her teeth knowing that they were at the Soukyoku Hill.

Aizen smiled as they appeared at the hill and watched the shocked faces of Renji and Rukia. "Hello Abarai-kun." He greeted calmly, still rather amused by his shocked face. "Please hand over Kuchiki-san if you will." He added gently extending his hand out with a kind smile.

[xxShyGrlxx]

[Lmao. xD]

(Same. That's probably what I'll do.)

"..Please be warned and be prepared to fight. Again, this is Isane Kotetsu, Leuitenant of Squad 4!" Isane Kotetsu finished off. Isane sighed, and glanced back at Unohana. "Unohana, I am finished. How are Hitsugaya and Hinamori?" she asked.


Karin stood beside Aizen, she gazed at Rukia not at anyone else. Poor Rukia..Karin thought. Oh well things get better for her soon. A little..She smiled a bit, then looked up at Aizen. Karin knew that she probably wouldn't be doing anything until more people came. Unless, Unohana healed Ash and Ash was prepared to come back and fight.

[When are we going to find out that Karin's a Kuchiki? She should also be Byakuya's REAL sister. :3]

[DarknessXLeader]

Unohana sighed lightly as she saw Ash already disappearing in the darkness. She looked to Isane, and smiled. "They're fine, they just need more rest. Hinamori's wounds are pretty bad, but nonetheless, she should be fine..." She explained, before lifting Hinamori's limp body to her feet. "Let us return back now...I have a feeling there will be more people in need to be healed." She murmured with a small frown, and began to pull Hinamori's body.

Ash winced terribly as she began to wheeze. She peered open one eye, before staring up to see the steps towards the Soukyoku Hill. "Stupid stairs..." She breathed before coughing roughly. Shaking her head, she flashstepped the best she could and arrived to the middle of the stairs before running the rest of the way. 'Stupid maker just had to make these steps long...' She thought to herself, before collapsing to the ground panting.

Aizen continued to smile even though Renji did not listen to him. "Please hand over Kuchiki-san." He repeated before stepping nearer. "No harm will come to you if you hand her over." He added with a strangely pleasant smile.

Rukia simply stared at Aizen with fear across her face. She clutched onto Renji before averting her gaze to Karin. 'Who is she?' She began to wonder, noticing a slight similarity between themselves, and began to feel fear overwhelm her when she switched her gaze to Aizen. 'What is he up to? And why me?'

((Probably when Byakuya comes! ^_^ That'd be good, oh can you be Renji too? XD))

((I am terribly sorry for my absense, too!! Finals are coming up and teachers have been cramming our brains...>< I don't know if I'll be able to post that much this week, but I will try my hardest to post during school!))

[xxShyGrlxx]

Isane nodded her head at her captain's order's and began to follow after her.

Renji stared at Aizen, and then averted his gaze back and forth between Gin and Kaname. What the hell is going on here..? He wondered, hoping that these captain's weren't actually betraying everyone. "I can't allow you to touch Rukia, Aizen." Renji replied while holding Rukia close to him.

[Okie dokie! Not a problem! :D]

Karin remained still and slightly shifted on her feet for a more comfortable stance. She rolled her neck to the side and let out a sigh. She stared at Rukia momentarily before averting her gaze to Renji.

(It's okay. ^^)

[DarknessXLeader]

Ash sighed as she felt 5% of her energy return to her. She dragged her body onto her feet before walking her way towards Aizen. 'Renji...he's gonna get hurt, and I won't be able to do anything while trying to fend off Karin...' She thought too herself, somewhat strategically. She sighed, before running her way towards their direction. Arriving to the spot, she wiped a bead of blood escaping her mouth with her thumb. "Karin!" She yelled staring at her back directly.

Aizen frowned slightly to hear his responce. His smile soon returned nonetheless and he shook his head. "That's a shame, Abarai-kun. Though, then again I suppose you are stubborn to follow any orders..." He started, and stopped Gin as he was about to prepare his sword. He stepped towards Renji still locking his eyes on him. "I'll give you another chance...you may leave Kuchiki-san, or you may leave...without your arms." He said simply, placing a hand calmly on the hilt of his sword.

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin felt her lips curl into a faint smile, hearing the voice of an old friend. She turned her head and to see Ash a few distance's behind her. "Ash." Karin replied cooly, while turning to face her. It was expected for her to be awakened, but Karin didn't want Ash to see her betreyal go any further. So maybe Karin did have a little kindess left inside of her.


Renji stared at Aizen. He had to be crazy. Renji was not going to let Rukia go, even if it cost him his life- Rukia was his friend, he had to protect her. "I'm not letting go of her!" Renji stated while clutching onto Rukia closely.

[DarknessXLeader]

Ash panted slightly, and stared at Karin. She frowned slightly, and stared at her face, for any signs of the one she once knew. She only saw a shadow, but at least she was still there. "Karin...why? After all we've been through, your going to dump our friendship just like that?" She asked, feeling her sadness clenching her very heart.

Aizen frowned at the given responce. "I'm sad to hear that from you, Abarai-kun. But, it would've been expected nonetheless." He muttered with a shake of his head. Almost in an instant, his speed shifted quickly and he slashed Renji with his zanpaku-to with ease. Returning to his former spot, he stared at Renji with a new look in his eyes - cold malice.

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin frowned slightly, but soon smirked again. "Why not?" she answered while shrugging. Karin studied Ash's expression, obviously she was hurt by her actions. "Oh, I'm sorry I made you so upset. But sooner or later your going to have to deal with my betreyal." Karin added, while glancing over at Aizen who had attacked Renji quickly in surprise. Karin averted her gaze back to Ash.


Renji's widened, an unexpected and deep wound had slashed deeply into his shoulder. Renji dropped Rukia, and stepped to his side. Knowing that he would collapse on her if he didn't move. "R-rukia.." he whispered. The wound in his shoulder was throbbing, and bleeding prefusely. Where was Ichigo when you needed him?

[DarknessXLeader]

Ash drooped her shoulders at her answer. It seemed as though she had made her mind already. She was able to see it in her eyes. She quickly blinked as she noticed Renji being attacked so quickly. She couldn't believe how quick it happened. Watching it on T.V, seemed much slower. She glared at Karin for a short time, before flashstepping towards Rukia. She stood in front of Rukia and refused anymore blood to be shedded, even though she knew it was unlikely possible.

Aizen took one step closer to Rukia, but blinked as the girl before him stopped him. He glared down at her. "Karin, take care of this nuisance immediately, please." He ordered. He averted his gaze towards Rukia, and stared at her blankly. He needed that Orb of Distortion.

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin nodded at Aizen's quick order. She flash-stepped quickly over to Ash, and grabbed her by the arm. "I wont let you get in the way," Karin growled. "I suggest you stay back, or you'll end up getting killed." she threatened. Karin saddened a bit, but was quickly replaced with anger. Quickly, Karin pulled Ash towards her and punched her in the stomach. They were away from Aizen and Rukia now, but not that far. This was just Karin working on her own now.

[DarknessXLeader]

Ash gasped as air was immediately knocked away from her stomach. She felt her knees wanting to buckle but knew better than to fall just yet. She immediately glared up at Karin, "Why say that when you've already killed our memories!?!?" She growled in return before flashstepping behind her and swung her leg around, to hit her back. She hit the small of her back but grunted as she felt her energy draining slowly. She stumbled back after the kick and did her best to recompose herself.

Aizen smiled as he watched Karin take away the obstacle that was in his way. Grabbing Rukia's collar with ease he smirked. "Thank you very much, Kuchiki-san. If it wasn't for you, I would still remain one step behind from getting what I want." He stated with a grin, before feeling his hand morph into a green claw. Instantly, he dug this hand into her stomach and pulled out his prize slowly. "And thank you for protecting this in the meanwhile."

((Care to join my family in my siggy? :3))

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin frowned, seeing Ash flash-step behind her. The kick to the small of her back was very unexpected. Karin fell forward, but put her hands down to catch herself. She skillfully did a handstand, and flipped over into a regular standing position. Karin put her hands on her back and leaned back to crack it. "You certainley are angry at me now aren't you?" she asked, while chuckling a little. "It's no big deal. This is possibly the last time we'll ever meet." she shrugged.

((I'd love too! ^w^))

[DarknessXLeader]

Ash tilted her head to each side, and cracked it herself. "Tch, you're probably that it's the last time we ever meet, aren't you?" She asked in an irate tone. She wore a smirk now as she cracked her knuckles and prepared herself in a fighting position. "Why not make this for old good times, huh?" She asked, while reminding herself not to overdue her own energy.

((Yay! ^-^ Whaddya want to be called? :3))

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin growled, and got into a fighting stance. "Well alright then," she agreed. "We all know who is going to win!" Karin grinned, over confidentely. She lunged towards Ash; no regret's if Ash get's killed or not. Karin jumped up, a little high in the air and raised her foot to kick Ash in the jaw. If this attempt failed- well, Karin was already two steps ahead.

((Hmm..Your little sister who can't stop obessing over the Gazette! x3 By the way the Gazette's a band. xD))

[DarknessXLeader]

Ash chuckled quietly to herself. 'She's still c*cky...least I know she hasn't changed too much.' She thought to herself, before blinking quickly. She had spaced out slightly, and just realized that she had lunged at her. She blocked her attack with her arms and looked up at her with a smirk. "Almost caught me off guard there." She stated before taking a jump back and preparing herself for another attack. She knew that just one little attack, wasn't Karin's style.

((xD!! Okies!! Good thing you clarified that or I would've thought you were obsessed with a newspaper. xD!!))

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin stayed silent, and flash-stepped behind Ash. This time, she prepared a simple binding spell. "Strike!" she called out, a red light began to enguld Ash. If Karin's thinking's were correct, this spell only paralyzed her but did not kill her.


((Lol. There an awesome band too! xD Who would obsess over newspaper anyways? o_O))

[DarknessXLeader]

Ash grew wide eyed before feeling her whole body go numb. "Sh*t!" She hissed to herself and felt as her knees buckled, causing her to fall to the ground. She was paralyzed, and weak. She glanced behind her, and her mind racedwondering what her next move would be.

((xD That's cool! What kinda music do they play? And that's true...except for Social Studies teachers...they're pretty obsessed with current events and stuff...*shudders*))

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin smirked, and walked towards Ash. She kneeled down to her, and looked her in the eyes. "What a shame. I'd thought you'd last longer," She shook her head with a chuckle. "I guess that is what is expected from a member of squad four." She insulted, while leaning in and giving Ash a kiss on her forehead. "I love you sis. But it's time we go our seperate ways." Karin coldly explained while standing back up.


{Visual Kei. Japanese rock. And of course, Social studies teachers are weird. xD}

[DarknessXLeader]

Ash gritted her teeth as she felt tears welling up her eyes once more. She felt herself panting, as the strain on her body was going slightly stronger. "Tch...then again, you can't really underestimate anyone, no matter how weak they may be..." She muttered through her teeth, before breaking the bind with every strength she had left in her body. She fell forward slightly, but her hands caught her body before she could fall. She twirled her body around, with a leg out, and swept it under Karin quickly. Now she was tired, and out of anymore energy. Resting her body on the ground, she propped herself up with her arm. "So, I guess this is goodbye, huh?" She asked with a placid tone, staring at Karin blankly.

((Hmm, I think I'll look more into this band. xD It interests me. Ah, that is true. xD All teachers are weird. xD!!))

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin had easily, once again quickly moved to dodge Ash's attack. She smiled a bit and looked back at Ash, "This is goodbye." she said, before turning back to Aizen and the others.

((Yahh! The lead guitarist is the one in my siggy. x3))

[DarknessXLeader]

Ash frowned as she missed and felt her head fall to the floor. She stared as she turned around and clenched her hands. She didn't want to look at her anymore. Since she always did hate goodbyes.

Aizen had just finished performing the Black Coffin on Komamura. He knew that it was only a matter of seconds when the captains would arrive. "I see you finished having fun, Karin." He commented, wearing a smile on his face as he turned to Karin.

((I noticed that! xD He looks so cool!! Love his hair. xD))

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin smiled back at Aizen, "Yes, it was very fun." she replied while cracking her fingers. "The captain's will be arriving soon. Soi Fon and Yuroichi will be surrounding you." Karin exclaimed smartly while crossing her arms and glancing at the sky. And Kukaku and Jidanbo will be here soon after..She thought.

((Lol, yeah! I might get my hair dyed like his! ^^))

[DarknessXLeader]

Aizen tilted his head, curiously. "You don't say? Well, thank you for the warning." He said softly, patting her head slightly. He looked around, and almost as if on cue, most of the captains appeared. And just as said, Yoruichi and Soi Fon both appeared around him. But, with the warning, he merely kicked them away with ease. He grasped onto Karin's shoulders and smiled towards the new audience. "Isn't this a lovely gathering?" He stated, with a calm smile on his face.

Ash curled herself into a ball frowning as she heard Karin's words play in her mind. She couldn't feel her strength, and her body turned numb instantly. She closed her eyes tightly, in hopes that it was all a dream and that she would wake up soon. But, as she closed her eyes she immediately fell unconcious.

((Seriously?! That'd be so awesome! xD I know people with kinda the same hair color like his, from school...it's really cool. xD!!))

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin's face flushed a bit as Aizen held onto her shoulders. Karin gazed at everyone, and saddened a bit at the fact of leaving Shunsui and Mayuri. Oh well, it had to be done- it was her choice to betray everyone. "It's a very lovely gathering indeed." she replied softly.

{What about the Byakuya and Karin relation idea?}

((Yep!))

[DarknessXLeader]

{Ah! That's true, hold on. xD It can all still be done!}

Byakuya panted slightly, standing up with the help of Rukia. Gin's attack wounded his shoulder, and he winced as the pain throbbed. He stared at the girl that stood close to Aizen, and narrowed his eyes. Her face was the striking resemblance of a Kuchiki. And at the back of his mind, he knew whom it was. "Karin, is that really you?" He asked, calming his breathing pattern slowly.

Rukia blinked as she listened to Byakuya. She glanced towards the girl whom he reffered to as Karin, and tilted her head. 'Karin? Why does that name sound so familiar?' She wondered to herself, staring at the girl rather intently.

[xxShyGrlxx]

{Woo!}

Karin looked over at Byakuya, while raising an eyebrow. "Yeah it's really me..?" she answered, although it was sort of a question also. How would Byakuya know her name? This was odd. What the hell is going on? She wondered while taking a small glance back at Aizen.

[DarknessXLeader]

Byakuya flinched slightly and glanced away. He noticed the confused look on Rukia's face and sighed. "Karin, don't you remember anything after you've left?" He asked in a placid tone.
Rukia stared up at Byakuya and willingly asked, "Byakuya...how do you know her?"
Byakuya in returned, bowed his head slightly. "Karin is blood-related to the Kuchiki family..." He stated, placing his gaze back onto her immediately.

Aizen stared at him curiously. "A Kuchiki you say?" He asked, with interest. He stared down at Karin and smiled slightly. He was able to see the resemblance, quite clearly. But he smiled nonetheless. Noble blood after all was something to cherish, if it was all true that is.

[xxShyGrlxx]

Byakuya flinched slightly and glanced away. He noticed the confused look on Rukia's face and sighed. "Karin, don't you remember anything after you've left?" He asked in a placid tone.
Rukia stared up at Byakuya and willingly asked, "Byakuya...how do you know her?"
Byakuya in returned, bowed his head slightly. "Karin is blood-related to the Kuchiki family..." He stated, placing his gaze back onto her immediately.

Aizen stared at him curiously. "A Kuchiki you say?" He asked, with interest. He stared down at Karin and smiled slightly. He was able to see the resemblance, quite clearly. But he smiled nonetheless. Noble blood after all was something to cherish, if it was all true that is.
Karin's eyes widened, she stared at Byakuya in shock. "I'm a Kuchiki?" she asked. "When did I leave? I-i don't understand!" Karin exclaimed almost stressfully. She was getting worked up, she had no idea what Byakuya was talking about. "But my last name is..Ko...hana.." she trailed off, and stared down at her feet. She had lived a lie all her life, yet she was the one who left the Kuchiki family? She didn't get that.

[DarknessXLeader]

Byakuya frowned as he heard her words. 'So she completely forgotten...' He thought to himself, before shaking his head slightly. "Karin...you ran away when you were only 10. You must've changed your last name to forget ever being a part of the Kuchiki family..." He explained with a solemn expression on his face. "I-I really don't know why you left Karin. But, you were very little at the time so you may not remember the past clearly." He explained, further still staring at her with an apathetic look in his eyes.

[xxShyGrlxx]

Byakuya frowned as he heard her words. 'So she completely forgotten...' He thought to himself, before shaking his head slightly. "Karin...you ran away when you were only 10. You must've changed your last name to forget ever being a part of the Kuchiki family..." He explained with a solemn expression on his face. "I-I really don't know why you left Karin. But, you were very little at the time so you may not remember the past clearly." He explained, further still staring at her with an apathetic look in his eyes.
Karin blinked, all of this still had not registered in her brain. "Well," she sighed, while crossing her arms. "Nice to know that I'm really a Kuchiki. But I don't plan on being with the family. Not now, not ever. I'm with Aizen now." She said while a smile formed upon her lips. Not only did she betray her friends, but the Kuchiki family as well.


{Hey don't forget about 'When a stranger calls'!! Dx}

[DarknessXLeader]

Byakuya stared at her with disbelief. He grimaced slightly, and shook his head slightly. "What a true dishonor to our name." He said with a tint of acid and hurt in his voice. He glared at her before straightening his composure slightly. "If that is the path you choose, then so be it." He hissed, before cringing once more at the pain in his shoulder.

Aizen smirked as he heard her responce. "With me, huh? I rather like the sound of that." He commented with a grin. He smiled at the audience that his actions had recieved, and was very much satisfied. With a snap of his fingers, a hole tore through from the sky and revealed monsterous Menos appeared through it. Claw-like hands, appeared for Gin, Tousen, himself, and even Karin as well.

{Oopsies! Almost forgot. Dx Sorries! I'll post there right away!}

((I hate asking favors of people, but do you think you can move a thread for me? Dx))

[xxShyGrlxx]

Byakuya stared at her with disbelief. He grimaced slightly, and shook his head slightly. "What a true dishonor to our name." He said with a tint of acid and hurt in his voice. He glared at her before straightening his composure slightly. "If that is the path you choose, then so be it." He hissed, before cringing once more at the pain in his shoulder.

{Oopsies! Almost forgot. Dx Sorries! I'll post there right away!}

((I hate asking favors of people, but do you think you can move a thread for me? Dx))
Karin chuckled a bit and looked back at Aizen. She then quickly looked at the sky, the Menos Grandes. Karin shuddered a bit but smiled, knowing she'd soon see a Menos up close.

{Lol. It's okay.}

((NO! Sure, just give me the link please and I'll move it. ^^))

[DarknessXLeader]

Aizen easily stepped onto the hand and nodded his head, for Karin to follow. He held out his hand for her, and smiled softly. Looking back to the people, he said, "Remember this everyone...I will stand before everyone, a powerful man. And I will stand above everything else...even God himself." His smile curled into a grin as he ran his hand through his hair, slicking it back smoothly.

{^^'}

((*sniffles* ;_; ...... xD Okie dokie! Here's the link: http://www.dollwizard.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2743089#post2743089 Thankies so much~!))

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin smiled up at Aizen, and took his hand quickly as he held it out for her. With his help, Karin hopped onto the Menos's hand with Aizen and gazed down at everyone. Karin saluted them with a big grin on her face, and as Aizen finished speaking she looked up at his slight change appearance. Oh he's so hot. She thought dreamily.

((Your welcome. ^^))

[DarknessXLeader]

At that moment, Aizen felt powerful indeed as everyone stared up at their leaving. They were all small, that was true. And he enjoyed that small fact. He smiled down at Karin, before whispering, "I think you'll enjoy Hueco Mundo, just fine." And with that, the hands took their leave away from Soul Society and back towards their home.

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin smiled back at Aizen, "I'm sure I will." she replied. She somehow felt strong also, she didn't know if it was because she just betrayed so many people or the fact she had almost killed Ash.

[DarknessXLeader]

Aizen blinked slowly, as he stared at where they were now: Hueco Mundo. It's bleak, desert like terrain bored him, but at least it was somewhat pleasant. Just a few feet away was the tower which was now their place to call home. "Ladies first." He beckoned her towards the building with a smile on his face.

Unohana frowned as she found Ash laying on the ground unconcious. She checked for her pulse, and quickly carried her towards the direction of the others. Her pulse was faint, and her energy was fading. "She wasted too much energy..." She muttered to herself, glancing down at the weak girl's face.

[xxShyGrlxx]

Karin nodded, and headed towards the tower silently.

{So..brain dead.. x_X}
