"Changing the Stakes": Killian and Yoki stepped from the garguanta standing directly in front of the substitute's house. It was getting late as the streetlight was humming with a soft flicker of light. Killian chuckled and looked to Yoki. "You been here before?" Yoki shook his head, "it's called luck, kid. Seems it's on our side today.""Luck? I don't I would call what happened in the throne room luck," Killian stated shaking his head.Yoki looked over at him and smirked from under his hood, "I am still alive, right?" Killian nodded with a raised brow. "Luck," Yoki added his smirk still in place. He chuckled and looked back at the house before them. "So now what?"

Yoki looked to the Kurosaki house, his hands still deep in his pockets. "We wait," turning his head slightly to look at Killian he continued. "They know we're here. It will only be a matter of time."
"Do you really think they are stupid enough to come out here and face us?" Killian questioned.
Yoki laughed, his eyes drifting back to the front door as a young blonde-headed girl walked from the front door. A pink purse over her shoulder as she was calling back into the house about being back soon. He watched her walk down the front walkway of the house to the gate. His hand went quickly up in front of Killian as he went to step forward.
His head shook lightly. "She is not our target."

Scarcely had the blonde headed blissfully down the street in the opposite direction as the intruders did Karin and Ichigo rush out, both in soul form and nearly tripping over each other to get out the little gate first. They glared at their unwanted guests before looking around for Yuzu, both with their weapons drawn.
"She's fine," Karin muttered a few moments later. "She went towards the bakery, not the grocery store." Her eyes narrowed as she focused on their enemies. "Ichi-"
Ichigo thrust a hand out, keeping his kid sister behind him. His eyes narrowed too. There was something different about these two. They looked too human..... and his hollow was a little too quiet. "Karin, stay close."
"You don't have to tell me," she murmured, fusing reiatsu into her limbs. "I don't like their vibe either."
Ichigo nodded curtly. If these were what had crippled Ukitake, then he had better be careful, and with dad on an emergency house trip, it was best to keep Karin at his side. Before he could make a plan, one called out to them both.

"Seriously!" Killian laughed his arm's around his stomach. "You're the substitute?! You're a kid!"
Yoki had a wide grin across his face as he looked on at the two as well.
The substitute's face started to contort to a look of rage as Killian waved a hand at him still laughing. "You're ugly enough. Stop with the faces."

Yoki shook his head as he looked at the girl standing off to the substitute's side. His hand slowly raised as he pointed at her. "Karin Kurosaki?"
The young girl growled at him, "How do you know my name, Bastard?!"
"It is not of importance. What is of importance is the life of your brother. If you wish to see him alive, I suggest you come with us now."

"Like hell I will," Karin snapped. "I've had my fill of Las Noches' hospitality. Thank you."
Ichigo nodded. "You heard her, and if you think you can get past the both of us without getting in trouble, you're wrong." He crossed his blades. "Age means nothing as far as power distribution, and I am rather ticked off by your boss, former or current." Suddenly his reiatsu peeked. "This is your last chance to leave silently."
Karin chuckled. I guess sharing blood with the powerhouse means I am not affected by his display. She gathered her own reiatsu and called on Homura, feeling a boost of confidence at her bright flame. "So," she said, tossing her hair back, wishing she had kept it tied up, "are you smart or dumb?"

Killian went to charge forward as Yoki stopped him with a raise of his hand. His eyes never left the two young soul reapers. "The only dumb ones here are the uneducated ones standing before me."
He stepped slowly towards them, his tone never changing nor did his reiatsu. He remained calm and collected. His eyes unwavering as he continued to step forward. There was not an ounce of fear that coursed through his body. Only confidence and arrogance were visible in his eyes and actions. Slowly lifting his other hand from his pocket he smirked at the young substitute.
"You are not aware of what we are. Are you? And because of that --today-- you will die."

“Like Hell!” Ichigo snarled, swinging his blade. “Getsuga Jujisho!” The powerful electric attack spiraled towards the enemies, who flashed away. Pulling on his hollow mask, Ichigo shunpo’d in front of the cocky one and swung his blade down again. “You’re the ones who don’t know enough.”

Karin leaped backwards at the same times as her brother launched forwards, swinging Homura in a wide arc. "Homura, Hyouka no Mai." The zanpakuto vanished in a whirl of flame, golden braces appearing on her arms and legs. She flexed her clawed gloves. Waiting.

Killian appeared behind Karin a wide smirk across his face, zanpakuto in hand. "Flow..." he said softly as his sword disappeared.
Karin spun her leg coming up to kick him in the side of the head, Killian only dodge her attack after attack. Ducking, dodging, dancing and skipping around her with his hands in his pockets as he smiled at her.
"You know. You could be pretty good if you could just make contact."

Yoki appeared back in front of the substitute no more then a few feet in front of him. "You have a temper. Not good to have in a fight. It's a good way to lose your head." Yoki sonido'ed right in front of Ichigo and flicked him in the forehead.
The substitute flew back into a light pole taking it down on top of him. Yoki shook his head. "You can't even take a hit, boy." He stepped slowly toward him. "How do you plan on beating me?"

Ichigo growled as he stood up. “You’re the one who doesn’t understand. You have no family to watch over. I’m a big brother.” His eyes narrowed again. “And no matter how many times you push me down, I will get back up.” He swung his blade, spilling black fire at his opponent and disappeared. A moment later, Yoki barely dodged a slice to his cheek by the slimmer blade. Ichigo’s wide blade arched towards his torso.

Yoki dodged the smaller blade as he wiped the trickling blood from his cheek. His injury already healed. "I know as much about you that I need to know. There is no need to gather useless information on a man that will not live." Yoki dodged another attack.
"It only clutters the mind slowing the thought processes." Yoki looked at him and smirked, "you are my enemy. That is the substitute. A little mixture of all realms. Soon to be useless information to me." He pushed Ichigo's blade aside as it came at him again, Yoki hitting him in the chest with a clenched fist of his free hand.

Karin hissed as the bastard espada kept dodging her claws and the lick of fire she controlled. She shunpo'ed and threw a kick from her new position. Her opponent vanished at the last minute. Then Ichigo flew backwards for a second time. A tiger stripe appeared on her wrist and then her opposite arm as she pushed her reiatsu into her limbs. She would not lose.
"It doesn't matter if I can't hit you," she snapped. "You'll trip eventually."
She continued the attack and sent a burst of Kido at him.

"Trip?" Killian chuckled appearing behind her. He let a few of his fingers comb through her hair that hung down her shoulders. Moving in closer he took in her scent. "Though, I do like my women older."
As Ichigo was pushing himself up, he heard what the hollow had told Karin. His mind flashing to Kisuke's report on the higher espada that had attacked Ukitake in soul society.
"KARIN! GET AWAY FROM HIM!" He screamed her direction.
