"Reckless Action" (continued): As they ran, Rukia's tears dried up replaced by more slivers of courage rubbing against her cocooned body. She held the flower that had kept her from going insane in the darkness of Koga's domain close to her heart. But she couldn't ask who had survived. What if Koga had lied to her? Abruptly, Izuru stopped. She squirmed in his arms. "It's okay, Rukia," he hissed. "There are some guards in the next hall. I am waiting for them to pass." His arms tightened around her. "I'll get you out."
Rukia blushed as her gaze fell. Again, she was relying on others to get out of the pain that surrounded her. "Let me down," she murmured. Izuru looked at her. "Let me down," she repeated, a little louder. Izuru backed up from the turn in the path and set her slowly to her feet. Rukia bit her lip, tossed the sheet to the ground and wrapped the haori around her properly. Sliding shaking arms into the sleeves and wrapping the cloth around her abused breasts. She tied it closed with the obi Kira gave her. She leaned against the wall. "Rukia?"
"It's been a while since I have been walking," she murmured. "They're starting to complain." When Izuru frowned at her, she gave a faint smile. "I'm going to ignore them. I couldn't stop running when I was tired most of the time in Rukongai. I can do it again here."

On the other side of the hall, Yumichika's 'borrowed' blade flashed as he slit the throat of both of the guards in one swift curved slice. Smirking, he stepped back as they fell backwards into the waiting arms of his companions. "Two more for the count," he murmured.
Ikkaku groaned. "It's not fair that you get to kill them when there's more than one." He tossed the first body into an open room. "And there's still not a whisper about Captain's whereabouts, either."
"I doubt just anyone would talk about him," Yumichika replied, "and if you could kill quieter, then you could kill when there are more than one around."

Ikkaku glowered at the second corpse Kairo was carrying into the room. "I'm not in the mood to kill quietly," he mumbled. "They killed Takada and Hattai with that gas."
Kairo rose from his crouched position. "Be grateful they did. It means we didn't fall for it.... unlike Kuchiki and Kira."
"Hey," Ikkaku snapped. "It wouldn't kill them." He swung his 'borrowed' pole around solemnly. "Takada and Hattai just lost a lot of blood and wouldn't wake up."

Kairo’s eyes narrowed at the third seat. “I told you before, Ikkaku. Keep your voice down or I will shut it for you,” he ordered. “None of us have a zanpakuto. Even with my Kido and stealth skills, this is a tricky situation, and we're going to find anyone - or get out - we need to cloak our presence as much as-“
Kairo stopped speaking and grabbed both of them, pushing them into the room with the corpses. Slipping his kimono into the crack between the door to keep it from creaking, he pushed it closed. Activate Kyokko. And waited.
“Someone’s nearby,” he whispered a moment later. He looked to Ikkaku and Yumichika. “Don’t … move… I will check it out."
"Why you?!" Ikkaku hissed.
Yumichika covered his mouth. "Got it. If you're not back soon, we move on without you."
Kairo nodded. And stood. He paused. "Wipe the blood off your cheek. They'll smell it." He vanished in a hush of shunpo.

Izuru looked back around the corner to find the hall empty. “Let’s go,” he hissed, taking ahold of her wrist.
Rukia leaped and he let go. She glared at her arm. “Maybe the sleeve,” she murmured.
Izuru nodded, took ahold of her sleeve, and turned to run across the hall. He halted again as a ball of red kido light appeared above his head. “Wha- Kisuke?” he called out in a low voice.
“Sorry,” Kairo murmured, returning to solid form. “I’m not that good.”
“How did you get your collar off?” Izuru fired back, immediately on his guard for a fake. He drew his sealed zanpakuto.
“All three of us used a zanpakuto on ONE collar,” he murmured. “We ate rattle tails for breakfast after that.”
As Rukia blinked, Izuru chuckled. “Don’t you mean monkey brains?” he fired back. The two relaxed at they repeated the passcode. “Who’s with you?”

Kairo smiled at Rukia. "Glad to see you're still alive, lieutenant."
Rukia glanced down, holding her robe closed. "I'm trying," she muttered.
Kairo frowned and shed his own haori. "Here, take another layer," he stated, holding it out. When Rukia reached for it, he put his fingers to his lips, whistling three times in a strange low pitch. "The others will be here in a minute. Do you know where you're going?"
Izuru nodded.
Kairo's smirk turned wicked. "Good. Now we have a chance."

Yoki appeared in the shadows as he watched the two in hiding dart quickly out of the room, down the hall a bit and into the next hall around the corner. When the joining two saw the other two talking to their escaped comrade it seemed like a joyful reunion.
That was until he stepped from the shadows. His smirk wide as he slowly walked toward them, his boots echoing on the hard marble floor.
"Well well what do we have here? Escapees? With powers?"

Kairo spun around and unleashed a wall of lightning. “Move, while we-“ his order died as Yoki simply waved the lightning away as if it were smoke. “Damn… Ayakashi….”
Ikkaku glared at him. “We won the Maze. By rights, we get our freedom,” he snarled.
Yumichika was silent but his hand tightened on his blade.
Kairo signaled to Izuru who stepped closer to Rukia. “You should keep a better eye on your prisoners. When a crack appears,” he sent a wave of Kido into the wall, making a pillar fall right where he-
Yoki folded his arms from behind the pillar. “Go ahead and continue what you were saying.”
Kairo’s eyes darkened further. The Ayakashi were supposed to be in Soul Society. It was the worst of the circumstances…. but someone needed to get out.
“MOVE!” he screamed, unleashing a fury of chemicals from his robes and setting them aflame. The blast threw all backwards. Kairo winced as he regained his footing and his vision wavered. “Too much damn fumes….” He sent a whirlwind of shuriken next.

Izuru grabbed Rukia up in his arms just before the blast and rolled as it rocked the corridor. “Damn, when did he…” He didn’t finish his sentence just stood up and continued to run. Secrecy didn’t really matter now. “Come on…. something has to go right today with an attack…” It looked like he would be leaving with Rukia instead of getting her to safety and returning to keep an eye on Sojiro. "Double damn."

Yoki appeared in front of the runaway's, his arms crossed over his chest. Shaking his head as he watched them slide, trying to stop as they turned and ran back up the hall. "We are not doing this." Yoki called to them.
He drew his zanpakuto. "You have five seconds to stop, turn around and surrender. If not. I will release my powers and your return to the Maze will seem like an eternity when it only take moments to return you to your confines." He chuckled softly, "Or you can witness your slow and painful death."

As Kairo growled beneath his breath, Izuru sighed. “Don’t,” he murmured to his fellow lieutenant. “Ichimaru says he’s the worst of the Ayakashi in a duel. You don’t even know when he’s released his zanpakuto, and then you’re trapped.”
Kairo frowned deeply. “Damn it all….”
“Kai, I don’t see another choic-”
“You’re right.”
Izuru blinked.
Kairo turned. “I’ll carry her since you’re not allowed back in the maze - or so people have said.”
Izuru made a face. “No, I’m not. I have important information.” He sighed again. “Sorry, Rukia…” he whispered.
Rukia didn’t reply.
“She’s going to the maze, too,” Yoki called over. “Set your blades down.”
Izuru ground his teeth.

Kairo nodded to the others. Yumichika tossed his behind him and Ikkaku kicked the pole against the wall in a show of fury. Yoki chuckled. “Sorry,” Kairo stated.
Kairo’s clothes shredded and great arcs of light tore through the marble in three places. Izuru flew backwards, hitting his head against the wall and the others fell, dazed. The lightning rippled through his body, tearing into the ground, creating an near impassable curtain of skittering electricity around his form. His limbs hummed with the energy forced through them. But this is what his Captain would want.
If he didn't get back to him.... he'd apologize.
“Shunko,” Kairo hissed.
His hands clenched and arms tightened around Rukia, trying to protect her from the volatile raw power.
His form blurred. The tower shook.
And he blasted through the ceiling. Vanishing.

Dropping his arm from shielding his face with it he let his hand comb through his hair as it knocked his hood off his head. His head shook as he sighed heavily. "Foolishness. Where the hell does he think he is going to go?""The roof apparently." A female voice spoke up. When he turned to see who it was all he saw was a blue flame burning brightly in the shadows and slowly moving toward him. "Segunda." He looked back at the ones passed out in the floor. "Your fraccions with you?""Of course," she answered coming into sight as she summoned her fraccions."Good, they can help me get these escapees back to the Maze." He looked her way once more and pointed upward. "You go get them." Whisper looked upward and chuckled softly. "I got them." She leaped up using the walls to get her up and through the hole in the ceiling as her two fraccion remained to help Yoki.Yoki walked over to the bald one lifting him up, tossing him over his shoulder. He looked to the shortest of the two fraccion as they stepped toward the blonde. "I am not sure where he goes." He shrugged his shoulders. "Hell we will just take him back to the maze. They can sort this shit out. It's not my job." The fraccion nodded and the three took off with their captives toward the maze.

"Matters of Emotion":When Kita told her that Vale had visited and returned to Las Noches, Yumiko decided to hurry through breakfast, hoping to catch him before he disappeared into Hueco Mundo to look for Gin again. She shunpo’ed to their quarters but found it empty. There was no trace of him in the garden either. Finally, she took a breath, sat down, and drew Mizue, searching for his signature. Finding a flicker near the northeast, she smiled. And leapt up. But hesitated when she found him gazing out the window with his arms crossed. “Vale?” she called out. He didn’t turn around. She walked over and touched his arm. “I’m glad I caught you before you went hunting again. You don’t linger long enough most of the time. Since that day.”

"What do you expect me to do, Yumiko?" questioned Vale. He turned facing Yumiko, crossing his arms over his chest. "I need to find him. I can't just sit around and not do anything."
"Vale, its alright if you want to relax." said Yumiko, resting a hand to Vale's arm.
"I will relax when Ichimaru is found. And, Kita has her family." Vale turned back toward the window. His eyes narrowed at the sound of a screeching Koga, as he flew by. "What do you need, Yumiko?"
