Eyes flashing at Aizen's back, Nanao drew her hand from behind her back and swung a biting pine branch up.
Aizen spun around.
Sojro's eyes narrowed and clenched his hands. Freezing the particles of time around Aizen. One. Two. Three. Five seconds.
Nanao slammed the branch into Aizen’s face. Cursing, he grabbed the branch and Nanao broke it, cutting into his palm. Aizen released Ryo and grabbed her hair. Tsukiro and Nori rushed forward, yanking the small captain away from Aizen with enough force to knock all three of them over. Grabbing his other hand before he slapped her, Nanao looked into Aizen's dark eyes. "You've done enough threatening of mothers and families," she stated, "and if you want to throw your weight around,” she continued in the same firm tone, “you can deal with me."
Tsukiro and Nori stood up, taking one arm each of Ryo's, and Sojiro stepped towards the group as well, wiping blood from his nose.

Aizen drew his hand up the back of his hand striking Nanao across the face. "Your time will come." His strike knocked her out as she hit the ground. Aizen walked into the mass, eyes narrowed and growing dark. He walked past the other disturbance, Gin, palming his face with is his right hand. Aizen delivered a hard left hook into his gut. Gin double over and dropped to his knees as he clutched his stomach coughing up blood.
Aizen still moved forward as Nori and Tsukiro took hold of Ryo. He did not even stop as Aizen punched both Nori and Tsukiro in the gut like he did with Gin. Both flew back as he grabbed Ryo knocking her out next with a swift backhand. As she started to fall he lifted her up tossing her over his shoulder.
Aizen turned with the woman over his shoulder. Whisper and Vacanze taking hold of Gin once more dragging him along as they stepped toward their Master. "For your foolishness your supplies will be stopped for two weeks."
The gate opened as Aizen stepped in with Ryo, Whisper and Vacanze right behind dealing with the enraged Gin from Aizen's announcement about the food supply. The gate closed behind them and they were gone.

Izuru and Sojiro looked to each other before bending down to each of those Aizen had struck. Daichi appearing on Sojiro’s shoulder and running across the grass to Nanao, licking the the blood on her face. “Are you going to say something?” Sojiro asked.
“Do you want me to?” Izuru sighed. “Tell me that you got something good from that disaster.”
Tsukiro’s eyes narrowed and he grabbed the collar of Izuru’s kimono. “What the hell does that mean?” he snapped.
“Don’t take your anger out on my lieutenant,” Captain Mutsu mumbled, sitting up and wiping blood from her mouth. “If anyone is to blame for this, it is me.”
Sojiro looked around. Most people were retreating back inside. “I don’t think it would have gotten this violent if I hadn’t let Nanao hit him.” He lowered his head. “But he was attacking too many people, and I didn’t expect the threat about mom.”
“As much as that was a good moment,” Tsukiro muttered, “what do you mean by let her hit him?”
Sojiro folded his arms. “I was angry. Daichi told me to focus, and something cleared in my mind. I froze Aizen for a few seconds. Enough time to delay his reaction to Lieutenant Ise’s attack.” He looked over to Daichi who was still licking her face. “Will she be alright?”
“Nanao’s one of the toughest of us all,” the female captain replied.
Sojiro nodded. “Daichi’s trying to help her, too.” He looked to the female captain. “Thank you for what you said in regards to me. I - I know you don’t particularly get along with my father, but I know it meant a lot to him as well.”

Nori placed a gentle hand to the young boy's shoulder as a warm smile spread across her face. "Your father has proven himself to me in many ways. I will admit at first I was not all that happy with working with him, but he has been walking in a different light for a while now. And I look out for my own."
She looked around the courtyard again. "Lets get the others in the medical hut. Aizen did not say he was withdrawing his sending of a healer. They will need the attention as well."

Tsukiro nodded, stumbling to his feet. “Damn, that punch of his hurt. I’ll be sure to remember that when I see the light of real stars again.”
“Isn’t that a bit childish, boy captain?” Nori replied in too sweet of a tone.
Tsukiro chuckled. “No more than yourself in your plans castrate as many of the male enemies as you can when you’re free. And I am sure with this move, Aizen just jumped to the top of your list.”
Nori folded her arms. “We shall see. I think others may get to him before me, but if Ryo doesn’t return in one piece," she sighed and folded her arms in her kimono, "I may evaluate my generosity. Then again, someone needs to permanently ruin a certain Espada.”
Tsukiro chuckled. “I’ll find Kairo and drag him to the medical hut. Again. You look for Yumichika and Ikkaku. Take the boys with you. I can handle Kai."

Nori nodded looking to Sojiro she smiled kindly at him a gentle hand going to his shoulder again. "Why don't you come with me and help." The boy nodded at her as she linked her arm with his and off they went to find Yumichika and Ikkaku.
"Do not worry about your mother and father. If anyone can get through this it is them. One thing I have learned about those two while working with them in the plans we made. Together they are strong, but separated they become stronger." Sojiro looked at her confused as she chuckled softly. "I think you know what I mean. They're your parents after all."

Sojiro chuckled quietly. “I don’t know why Gary keeps pulling them apart,” he murmured. “According to Uncle, it makes his battle with them worse. But he keeps doing it.”
Nori shook her head, amused. “Because no one is a sorer loser than Sousuke Aizen. He just has so much power he can get away with the same tactic over and over.” She looked to Sojiro as he fiddled with his amulet. “Tell me, why do you call Aizen, Gary?”
Sojiro smiled and his eyes glittered. “Because I don’t fear him as much when I do. It reminds me of how close I was to beating him in chess as a child.” He set his amulet back under his kimono. “It reminds me that this is just a new game and I am older now. I can figure him out.”

Nori side stepped bumping into him. "Its good to know it helps settle your fear of him, but let me tell you a little secret I was told when I was a child learning how to fight and control my powers."
Sojiro looked to her, eyes inquisitive as she started to speak looking ahead of them as they walked. "Never fear your enemy. Respect them. For then you never underestimate them. Then you never allow worry, fear, and doubt to cloud your mind... It will blind your soul, cast a shadow on your heart, and eat away at your character. This causing you to fail on your path to the truth." Sojiro's look turned from her looking ahead as well. "That sound like someone I know."Nori looked to him and smiled, "are you thinking of your mother?" Sojiro looked to Nori once more with a wide smile. "No... Kisuke." The two chuckled softly as Nori nodded slowly. "There is one amazingly crazy man."
The two started chuckling again as they continued on the way.
