Panic and fear filled Riku as he watched his best friend being taken right before his eyes. The first thought that flashed through his mind was "why wasn't I there to stop it?" That thought was immediately answered with, "because you're not strong enough." There was no disputing that. Whoever that was, there was no way Riku could have done anything to stop him. He felt the man's reiatsu and it was the most horrid thing he'd ever experienced.
The second thought that entered his mind was, "where is Makino?"
The fear left him and was replaced by concern. He cast his gaze all around the training field, but there was no sign of her. At first he wondered if she had gotten taken as well, but he didn't see her with the man. He heard her scream, but he didn't see her get taken.
She must have ran off.
Riku shunpo'd to the field entrance and out of the grounds. He had to find her.

Allura had walked in a bit later than the rest and watched just as Sojiro was taken. Seeing this her mind went blank momentarily before properly processing the situation and her immediate reaction was to look for Makino.
She barely caught a glance of her leaving and sighed a bit to herself. She moved out of the way as a guard appeared and she tried to calm her thoughts as she watched Riku leave after her. Staying put is really the only option now isn't it.

As the students started to scatter around him, Yumcihika shook himself from his daze and called himself a dozen different kinds of idiot. "STOP RUNNING!" he yelled. The group froze and he realized his own anger at the situation had entered his tone. "Everyone will gather together and sit down!"
"But we could be next," a voice wailed from one group.
Yumichika's eyes narrowed. "And running like sheep and spreading yourselves thin will protect you?" he snapped. "They're wolves. They live on fear. And you're giving it to them. Are you babes in a manger or are you young men," he turned to another group, "and women who wish to become stronger and protect your homes?"
It was silent now. "Sit," he ordered again, more gently. "They got what they came for."
He looked to the guard who had landed at his side. "Find Riku Asuhara and his classmate, Makino Masanobu! Account for their presence! She's being hunted by others already. Move!" The man disappeared with a burst of shunpo.
The class was gathering again and they were whispering.
"What was that?"
"It made me sick..."
"Did you hear the way the bones cracked?"
Yumichika clapped his hands once to get their attention. "You will not dwell on your inability to fight it because it is only failure if you had a chance. You did not. It is a harsh lesson, but it is the truth. There are enemies stronger than you. However, you will fail, if you let your FEAR of this situation control you!"
It only halted some of the whispers. He sighed. And for a moment, he wished that Captain Ukitake was still alive.

Shin looked to their instructor shaking his head. "What was that thing? It was no hollow. The energy was all wrong. What was it, and where did it take Ichimaru-san." Shin questioned as he looked around at his shaken classmates.
"And what about Maki-chan? She is out there somewhere and could be in danger if those guys are nearby."

When Yumichika opened his mouth to speak, another hell butterfly came in. The commander’s visit was either canceled or postponed. No surprise there. And the students were safe. He looked to Shin. “Lady Makino is safe. She ran to Captain Kuchiki’s side and she made it. She is with her mother, the captain, and the commander. Riku Asuhara is also there.”
He waited for the clamor of relief to die down before taking a seat before his class. “I’m not the best at making explanations anything but bland or blunt, unless you are a target for my affections or revenge, but I will try to explain this in a way that won’t terrify you.”
He paused. “You are right. That thing was not your normal hollow.” He went on to explain the three levels of high level hollows and then continued on to the creation of espada. “However, the espada are not the highest hollows. If they evolve even further and start to regain even more human-like features, they are Ayakashi, the highest form of a hollow. At least as far as we know. And they are stronger than most of our captains. ” He ran a hand through his hair. “Sada Teruo is the worst of these. He is both hollow and he is not.”

Ryusuke shoved an unknown student to the side and pushed his way up to the front, "Then what the hell was that." A look that had a mix of curiosity, excitement, and pure aggravation was spread across his face.
"That thing. I picked up traces of energy from a Soul Reaper, a God, and on top of that. Mixed with a damn Demon," His eyes narrowed at the teacher, "What you have explained does not even touch on the level that this thing was at. And you know it. Stop acting like we are useless children and just tell us."
A grin grew across his face, "We are the future of this place anyway."

Mitsuo stood as well stepping up next to Ryusuke. "Seriously, Dude? Demon and God?"
Ryusuke nodded slowly not taking his eyes from their instructor.
Mitsuo turned his attention the instructors direction as well. "Well? What is it Ayasegawa? Does Aizen Sousuke have Gods and Demons under his control? Are we fighting an unbeatable war? And how many of these things does that Bastard have?"

"What I want to know." Shin started as he joined the two of them. "Where did he get them? And how the fuck is Aizen controlling them?" He looked to Mitsuo as he looked to him. "Is this what the Goddess was for?"
Shin looked back to their teacher. "Is this really what that Bastard used that poor woman for was to breed these...these...Monsters? And what we were told about getting to the Godly gate a hoax?"

Yumichika stood to his feet and made a loud kido clap to silence the buzz of panic. Then he looked to the one who had revealed too much. “If you want the truth, you will stop making judgements and stay silent.” He ran a hand through his hair.
“Having problems?” someone called from above him.
Yumichika’s ire rose further as did his reiatsu. Not even turning to acknowledge his colleague, he muttered. “Ikkaku-san, unless you wish to become a target for the evening, I’d suggest you shut up!”
In the silence, he adjusted a feather in his hair and then smirked. “What you ask is more chilling facts, and if you insist, then you will have them. If you start screaming, don’t come running to me.”
He paused. “Sada Teruo is a creation that bridges the gap between Hell and Las Noches. He is both hollow and he is not. He is both demon and he is not. A God had a hand in his making. The specifics are unimportant. But no, Aizen has no demons in his command. In fact, he barely controls this hybrid.
“Mister Maki, if I ever am within hearing of such a disgusting claim from your mouth, or anyone’s in the face of fear and the unknown, I will personally escort them to Eleventh Division until I deem they have learned their lesson. You are spared today because at the end, you had a note of pity in your tone," the officer sneered.
In an instant, his blade transformed and slit the pole on which Ikkaku was standing. Five times. He lowered his blade, but the look in his eyes was still dark and glittering. “Kita Miyamoto is the vessel of a goddess, but she is human. But for our war, her whole existence was torn asunder. And it was for the Gate. A Gate that would have taken her life. And in your times of fear, you decide to malign her suffering even more. And she is not the only one. If that is the future of the Gotei, then Aizen is already halfway there to his goal. We're just blind to see it.”
His fury abated and he returned his blade to his sheathe. “There is one hybrid, and Aizen controls him because he continuously hungers for more power and takes it."
“What do you do? You take loss and scars on other people's souls and turn them into weapons to tear yourselves apart. If this war was unbeatable, then you would be in Las Noches now or under the tutelage of one such monster because we would not have escaped the prison we were encased in.”
“Class dismissed. Ryuusuke Tanahashi, remain behind.”

Shin combed his fingers through his blonde hair as a firm hand went to Ryusuke's shoulder and Shin spoke quietly to him. "We will be waiting for you in the courtyard."
Mitsuo nodded at Ryusuke as he stepped past him. "Fourth division, that's were Maki-chan is. Hurry this shit up so we can get there and see how she is."
Shin watched as Ryusuke nodded to Mitsuo, Jiro walking up to them. "You going with?"
"To see Maki-chan?" Jiro questioned as Shin and Mitsuo nodded at him. "Damn straight I am."
Shin looked to Ryusuke once more. "Don't get your head removed by him. He is not as big of a push over as you think." The three walked off leaving the area with the other class members.

Allura watched as students filed out and she looked over to Ryusuke and Ayasegawa before shaking her head and following behind the last of the students.
She heard bits and pieces of conversations about the news they had just heard and all sorts of crazy speculation and knew it would only be a matter of minutes before the entire academy knew of what happened. She put her hands behind her head and sighed as she headed of to try and find some peace.
"If it's not one thing, it's always another."

Yumichika watched the group leave, a couple looking back at him as he had grown another head. He admitted that it had been quite unusual for him to make a display like that. But then again, the last time he had lost his temper had been for a woman, too. And this time, there was too much going on. Between the pressure to return the class to order and the adrenaline that surged through him at the fear that permeated the area, he had lashed out.
Now, if he were to get to the student, however, he would have to remain calm.
He had made his point. It would be too depressing to examine it further.

Ryusuke's eyes were cold and emotionless as he stayed exactly where he stood, not letting his eyes waver from the teacher's, "Why did you tell me to stay back, Sensei."
The air around them felt like concrete, the tension was horrible, though Ryusuke didn't care enough to back down, "Was it something I said?" There was an obvious sharp tone in the last words.
Yumichika's eyes narrowed at the defiant tone. "You don't realize what you did, do you?"
"Realize what I did? Lets see, I revealed what he was, I told them what you were too weak to tell them," Ryusuke's scowl didn't leave his face as he spoke, "We aren't children. We can handle information unlike the old generation of Soul Reapers. Because let's see. We grew up with all this war, we grew up with all this pain. What did you grow up with? We aren't children like you think we are."

Yumichika’s fingers twitched at Tanahashi’s arrogant, blasé tone about the situation, even more so at the various details insinuating weakness. He folded his arms and stared down his nose at the student.
“You are a fool, boy, if you believe that what you did was helpful to the situation at hand, or that your pain is any more powerful than what the other generations have felt. Have you fought the Espada and their servants? Have you felt their wrath when you choose to fight for your freedom? Have you heard the screams of those they decided to favor? Or been helpless when they decided to pluck others from the flock?
Yumichika paused. “The answer to all of those questions, but one, is no. You were not only late to class, but you were unable to read the obvious, tumultuous atmosphere around you. Teruo’s mere presence inspires fear and panic. I nearly had it under control, even after they witnessed him breaking bones from one of their strongest comrades as if those limbs were twigs. And your details of the matter resulted in some of the worst accusations against those who have suffered the worst in Las Noches. It would have bred more roots of evil intentions. It would have given Aizen and his followers more power against us.”
“In what way were the details you presented helpful to your class?”

Ryusuke relaxed his stance and chuckled, "What way was that helpful?" He hummed as he turned away, grinning as he realized Yumichika was starting to get even more irritated, "You're asking a person that just identified all of that. A student, mind you that. Was I wrong?"
He then stepped up and was mere inches from Yumichika's face, "My apologies. But that thing. Didn't necessarily scare me. If it did them. Then that is their problem. What it is capable of is true, I felt it, I didn't have to see it," He then stepped back and grinned, "Sojiro is a tough guy. He'll be fine in a week."
"But! Back to the question on hand. The details that I have presented told everyone here what exactly we are up against. I don't want this dammed academy training weak minded people that fear everything that steps in front of them," The grin on his face showed that even in the face of the Sensei, he wasn't scared.
Ryusuke stepped back again and started to pace, "But as a scientist, I have a natural curiosity for everything. I can't hide that. Just like you are a natural pretty boy that loves to groom his looks."
