"O Where, O Where Can The Captains Be?": (continued) The wall in the Sixth Tower slid back as Byakuya stepped out Vacanze right behind him. To their surprise the Captain Commander was right in front of them fighting the guards that were posted in the hall. As soon as the last one dropped he spun on Vacanze. Vacanze lifting his blade as the two crashed. The scream of steel striking steel cried out down the hall. "Commander!" Vacanze called out to the man. "I am not your enemy." "Prove it," the commander stated, tone foreboding. "When did you take Yuzu's virginity?" Vacanze blinked his expression dumbfounded as he stood tall, his arms fallen limp at his sides and his shoulder slumped forward. He pursed his lips and rolled his eyes. "Only you would ask a question like that." Vacanze arms then waved frantically around him. "I WOULD NEVER TAKE YUZU! I LOVE HER!"

“That doesn’t really answer the question,” Shunsui murmured, “but I suppose your loud confession does demonstrate your innocence.” He scratched the scar above his ear. “Why haven’t you left with everyone else?”
“Captain Kuchiki wasn’t with us when I-”
“I didn’t ask about my captain. I asked about you,” the commander interrupted. “Your former comrades would love to get a piece out of your hide. Don’t you think it would be expedient to leave here as soon as you had the option to?”
“Someone has to get Kita and Sojiro out,” Vacanze retorted, “and I can get out of here at any time.” He looked to both of his companions. “You cannot.”
“Kita is no longer here,” Shunsui replied. Vacanze started. “And neither are either of the kids.” Shunsui leaned against the wall. “Yumiko is in Vale’s chambers but does not seem hurt. So I do not think she is coming with us. Though I will ask if I make my way there.”
“If?!” Vacanze exclaimed. “She’s one of us. And are you sure-”
“That Kita and the kids are gone?” Kyoraku murmured. “Yes, I am. Sousuke is fluttering about like a moth with lopsided wings. He’s too quick to pinpoint, but he’s around. And waiting to make a move and get his flame back.”
“An unusual metaphor,” the noble captain muttered.
“Fitting,” Shunsui winked. “After all, he is a big mutant moth when he turns into a monster. And he’s lost the source of growing power. His flame.” The commander pushed off the wall. “Our time to move grows short. We'll have to settle with the damage we have made and regroup. At the moment, we need to corral our favorite berserker. Before he becomes completely uncontrollable." He stroked his chin. "And with Kuchiki’s Shikai, my brute strength, and your volunteering, we should get through to him.”
“Volunteering?” Vacanze asked, eyebrow raised.
“Why to be the bait of course," Shunsui grinned. "All hollows are on Kenpachi’s menu, and you do fit the bill.”

Vacanze combed his fingers through his fire red hair and groaned. "I hope so. Sub-man has told me one too many stories about this man and I know what he did to Nnoitra. I really don't want that man getting a hit or a hold on me."
The Commander started a path down the hall toward the growing reiatsu of berserking Captain. Vacanze looking between the two Captains. "You can stop him right? I mean... I want to be able to hold my girl with both arms when I get to see her again."
"I'm sure you want to," the commander muttered as they walked towards their quarry, "but don't cry. You only need your tongue and the essential tool to make her happy."
It was like they were attached as both Byakuya and Vacanze both stopped in their steps with what the Commander said. Vacanze looked over to Byakuya as the Noble Captain was looking at the back of his Commanders head and blinked many times.
"Is he always this sexually forward?" He looked back at the Commander as he to now stopped walking and turned to look at them. Vacanze's hand rubbed the back of his neck. "It's that; or I have just gotten too used to the clueless Sub-man."

“You have been lucky,” Kuchiki responded, tone carefully neutral, as he was unwilling to display more of his own unease at the so-called bland statement of his commander. The noble started walking again. “There’s more than one reason to have Ise or Ukitake at his side. He-”
But he didn't even get to start his explanation.

“-enjoys taking advantage of openings left for him, be they from idle lips of his followers or those between a woman’s legs,” the commander called out. Again, Vacanze nearly tripped, though this time, Kuchiki kept his expression blank and his steps steady. The commander winked. “Sorry, I couldn’t help it, and things are about to lose their fun. I do believe our prey has turned this way."
"Is someone strong?" came deep, gravelly voice.
"And may be hunting us," Shunsui finished. He flicked the scar above his eye. "Ready to go, Vacanze?"

A sweat drop fell from Vacanze's brow as he saw the mass of the Eleventh Divisions Captain round the corner. His cleaver of a sword resting to his shoulder. "HOW DID YOU GET DOWN THE HALL WITH THAT THING!!" Vacanze barked is eyes wide and on the Captain as he came quickly toward him.
"SHIT!!" Vacanze squeaked. His feet wanted to turn his ass around and run but he stayed his ground waiting for the other two Captains to make their move. But they did not move. "WILL SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING!? NOW!!"

“But we can’t do anything until we see how badly off he is,” the commander called back with a wide grin. “Show too much power, and he’ll try to crush us and not the enemy. And that will get a little m-” He paused as Kenpachi swung his blade downwards, pointing in their direction.
“Now we find out….”
“Another piece of Hollow filth. You better be more fun than your other buddies. Or I’ll split,” the giant man raised his blade up again, scraping at the celling and shedding the boulder-sized rocks that splintered off, a large grin of glee on his face, “down the middle. Like meat~”
“This may not be the way to handle the situation,” Captain Kuchiki murmured. “He’s already torn off his eyepatch.”
“Yeah, he’s been locked up too long.” Shunsui sighed. And then chuckled. “It’s time to run, Espada-san. He’s going to eat you alive, in three, two…”
“LET’S PLAY!”
“One,” Byakuya stated. Both of the captains drew their blades as Vacanze whirled around with the large, crazed man on his heels.
“Must go faster,” Shunsui whistled.

Vacanze spun so fast he almost did a three-sixty where he stood. As the crazed Captain swung his blade, Vacanze danced left then right, then shot straight forward as the blade came down right behind him. His eyes grew wide when he saw pieces of his hair float off down to the floor as the razor sharp blade sliced the ends.
"Too close! TOO CLOSE!! MUST MOVE FASTER! FASTER!" Vacanze jolted forward again as he looked back over his shoulder at the crazed Captain. His eyes were sharp and filled with a joy one would see in a child's eyes on Christmas morning and a grin so wide it covered his face from ear to ear. Vacanze bolted right going around a corner as the blade came down once more the corner of the wall now no longer a corner.

As the corner of the wall imploded against his attack, Kenpachi laughed loudly. “So you’re tricky, are you, like a cockroach?!” He pulled his cleaver free and swung it around, making the redhead duck and roll. “Well, that’s fine and dandy. Cockroaches are tough monsters after all. You’ll take some time to pulverize.” His laugh echoed around. “But you can’t scuttle around forever. Turn, coward, and face-”
He blinked. “What are flowers doing here?” He shrugged. In a single strike, he ripped up the ground, making his opponent trip and fall backwards, and raised his giant weapon high. “Strike one~”

A wave of white rose up as a shield before swirling around the blade and halting its intense momentum.
“Seriously,” Zaraki muttered, “what are flowers doing here?”
“If you stopped and took a moment to think about something other than bloodshed, you would know that answer,” Byakuya replied.
The giant captain cocked his head towards him. “Byakuya,” he grunted, “what are you doing interrupting my fight?”
The noble’s eyes narrowed. “I stopped you because you lacked the capacity to fight and discern with reas-”
The noble’s powers swelled in front of him as Zaraki spun and whirled his blade down on him. “You’re saying you’ll play!”
“You’ve lost all sense of reason,” Captain Kuchiki stated, back-stepping with Senbonzakura hissing in front of him as the great power of Zaraki tore through the layers erected. His dark eyes glittered with tightly reined irritation. He was not in a patient mood.
Swinging his arm, he split the wave of petals into two, wrapping one around the giant man's blade once more and arching the other over the ceiling to protect his head as Zaraki crumbled more of the walls.
"Out of the way, espada."

Vacanze did as he was informed and got out of the away as he danced over getting behind the Commander. He watched as the Noble and the freakishly powerful Eleventh division Captain crossed swords. Or... well... powers.
From behind the Commander Vacanze pushed the flat of his hand into the center of the Commanders back shoving him slightly forward. "Go help the man. That's what your here for, right? I was the bait you and him the heroes?"

Shunsui scratched his eyebrow. “Is that why we’re here?” he murmured. “I thought it was simply to contain someone before he was burned out and turn him loose on a certain egomaniac?”
Vacanze blinked. “You can contain that - that thing?”
The commander smirked. “If we had time, I could probably leave him to Kuchiki, but then again…” He paused as the noble unleashed a kido binding and their friendly giant ripped it free before laughing and throwing a punch at his collected opponent. Kuchiki unleashed a point blank kido blast and then shunpo’ed to the back of his opponent when he deflected it. “Someone is getting angry and I would prefer to avoid unnecessary bloodshed.”
Winking, Shunsui vanished from his audience’s side. Parting the waves of petals wrapping around Zaraki with his reiatsu and appearing in front of the giant blade, he hollered. “Hi, big guy.”
As the crazed captain swung his blade down, he raised his own sealed blade, blocking it as if it were a regular katana. “Too slow~” His free hand already grasped Kenpachi’s wrist. Smiling, he flung the giant across the hall, barely missing Vacanze.
He whistled. “Sorry~” he called out, strolling over to his grumbling captain. “Awake yet? Or do we have to do this some more?”

Vacanze looked to Captain Kuchiki who was now sheathing his blade. “Tell me, is he always this laid back about - about something like that?” he aksed as Shunsui poked at the groggy giant.
The noble closed his eyes and didn’t reply immediately, slowly regaining the equilibrium that the powerful idiot had nearly wrested from him. “Captain Zaraki is not the only one who has been ‘restrained’ for too long,” he finally stated.
He walked over to join his fellow captain as Kenpachi stirred and rose, rubbing his head, as if that was the only place that hurt. No, the commander and the bloodthirsty captain were not the only ones who had lost so much and were taking no chances in getting it back. His hand clenched on Senbonzakura.

After fixing his eyepatch back over his eye, Kenpachi examined his surroundings and admitted that he was lost. Completely. Not that it mattered. He twisted his finger in his ear, going over the information fed him, rearranging it in his head. “So that one’s alright?” he mumbled pointing at Vacanze as his head swam. “I can’t attack him?” he pouted.
“You’re not going to be attacking anyone else until we get to a certain place,” the commander replied, patting his arm. “You’ll need your energy for him.”
Kenpachi tilted his head. “Is he strong? Because it better be worth it if I am going to stop now.”
“You can obey orders for once without complaint,” the uptight Kuchiki commented from the strange ally’s side. “It will be good practice.”
Kenpachi’s head tilted to the other side, grinning as he placed the grating note in the perfect noble’s voice. “Angered, Byakuya? That sounds fun~”
“Kenpachi~” the commander murmured in a sing-song voice.
“Fine, fine. IF he’s strong,” the warrior retorted.
The commander gave a sly grin, a perilous glint of cruelty in his dark eyes. “The strongest.”
Kenpachi’s energy started to boil in his one visible eye. “Then- Let’s move,” he purred, slinging his sword over his shoulder.
But someone was about to rain on his parade.

Vacanze looked around the Commander as he spoke to the big guy. "Well...Hm..." he looked to Kenpachi then the Commander then back to Kenpachi scratching his head. "We need to be outside. That is if we are going to where I told you." He looked back to the Commander.
He was not to sure what the Commander was trying to do, but it did calm the big guy so he was trying to be careful in what he said. "Yeah, we need to be outside to do this."
The commander smiled at him. "And if we aren't going where you want us to go? If we have somewhere else to be?"
"No," Vacanze said flatly crossing his arms over his chest.
