Ayako and her girlfriends walked from the shop with full arms, laughing and chatting about their findings in the shop. All of them very much unware that they were being watched let alone followed. As Ayako eyes was suddenly caught by something across the street. She bumped her closest girlfriends arm and whirled in the direction she wanted to go.
“I will be right back!” She announced as she bolted across the street to her next destination.

Kazue grinned at his partner, "Oh tick tock. We'll get you little kitty." He growled as his eyes easily followed their target, "It is sad that she doesn't know we are following. It makes it less fun."
He then punched his shoulder before watching their target stop at a shop, away from her friends, "And she seems to have been separated!"

Kotaro grinned. "Just want we want." He bumped Kazue with his elbow as he stepped forward making a path toward the shop. "Do we wait for her to come out or go in and greet her?" He looked down at his attire as his hand rubbed the smooth fabric of his shirt.
"After all, she will think we are part of the Gotei. It should be pretty easy to lead her out without question from her or any other."

Kazue began to think on what Kotaro had said. They had already began to walk towards the shop.
"Well. We are already walking towards it. And you are the. Well. Admittedly the smarter one. But I think we should go in and greet her. The poor kitten's friends are already distracted." He grinned and glanced across the street, "Poor friends are about to lose a kitty."
Without hesitation, he bumped Kotaro and they entered the shop.

Kotaro and Kazue spotted their target quickly, separating like they were shopping the two came at her from opposite sides. Kotaro approaching her first. He pretended to be looking at something on a shelf across from her. It seemed they were in a costume/festival shop and she was looking at things, he guessed, for the up and coming Fall Festival. He reached for a mask on a high shelf. A black mask trimmed with red.
Holding it up over his face he turned and looked at the young girl. "Hm, I wonder?" He looked pointed at Kazue that walked up on the other side of her. "What do you think? Is it me?"
The young girl looked his away then quickly to his friend realizing he was not talking to her and went back to what she was doing.

Kazue shook his head at his friend, slightly ignoring the girl in between them, "Is that you? Oh definitely." He rolled his eyes and shook his head, "Totally, my friend." He then chuckled and looked towards the girl, "What do you think? We need some help on deciding a mask." He smiled brightly at her, showing some friendliness.
Ayako looked to the golden blonde as he held the mask up to his face. She smiled brightly at him, "It does look good on you, but from the rumor I have been hearing. They won't allow mask that conceal your face at all times."
Kotaro lowered the mask and looked at her. "What do you mean? I thought this was a masquerade type festival? Mask were made to wear at all times to cover your face. Are they taking the fun out of things for this year?"
The ash blonde frowned as he stretched, "That is lame. Masks are meant to cover your face. Especially in a festive area." He grinned and grabbed a gold and black mask, quickly covering his face as he chuckled.

Kotaro grinned. "I think the inu mask would fit you better." he pointed at a black and white dog mask on the shelf behind Kazue. It was trimmed in sliver with red tassels hanging from the sides.
Kazue huffed putting the mask back on the shelf as Kotaro turned his attention back to the girl. "So did this rumor inform you of what kind of masks are allowed?"
Ayako turned and lifted a mask on a dow from a vase. "This kind." She handed it to golden blonde. "It seems they are a little on edge since so many girls in the past few weeks have been disappearing, and the Princess~, aka, Captain Kuchiki's future daughter. Has been targeted by some thugs out on the streets."
Kotaro's eyes brightened as he looked to Kazue, a wide grin across his lips. He could not say anything, but he knew Kazue was thinking the same thing he was. "Hey, I remember hearing something about that." He combed his fingers through his long blonde hair.

Kazue's eyes widened as he picked up the Inu mask to look it over, "Of course we've heard of it, dipshit." Kazue chuckled and put the mask over his face, "It is starting to get a bit big everywhere."
He put the mask back and looked towards the girl, slowly looking her over as she was looking at Kotaro, "I see your point now."

Ayako chuckled. "You would be the first that saw it." She put the mask she was looking at back on the shelf. It does make it really hard to find a good mask like they want." She perked up and looked back at the guys. "But my custom is rocking so it really don't need a mask."
"Oh, and what are you going as?" Kotaro asked her as he looked from Kazue to the girl.
"A fairy." She replied as she turned back to the masks.

Kazue skimmed through the masks once more before grumbling to himself, "A fairy eh? Sounds wonderful for someone like you." He chuckled and looked towards Kotaro as he gave a "why" type of face.
Ayako looked around once more before sighing at her options. Kazue watched her carefully as he watched her sigh and turn to leave. He grinned at his partner as they continued to skim, waiting for her to leave.
It was a few seconds before she was near the door, they began to follow her, "Easy pickings." Kazue grinned towards Kotaro. His grin slowly faded as Ayako stopped near the door to look at another item. He tried to keep his scowl hidden as they walked passed her and out of the store. Though his anger wouldn't last long as she walked out nearly right after them.

As she shuffled out the door the two males she was speaking to in the shop prevented her from truing toward her friends as the stood in the way. Of course to her they were just in the way, she did not realize they were leading her. As she went to step around them to be on her way a family of six stepped in her way causing her to detour again. She ended up walking half-way down the walk way before she got a clear shot to cross the street.
However, before she stepped off the sidewalk she was grabbed by the arm and jerked into a nearby alley. She started turning to look at who had a hold of her as a cloth bag slipped over her head.

Hisagi was scanning the street, ignoring his friends slightly as he was enjoying the air and the sight of all the people doing their own thing. A few minutes of watching, he saw a sudden movement. It was a girl being dragged into an alleyway by two assailants. His eyes widened as he backed up to the shop and peeked his head in, "Heeeyyy... Umm... Kira, I need you for a moment!"
He looked back to the street as they disappeared into the alley completely and then looked back at the store, "Hurry up, Kira..."

Kira looked away from the two women, Yumiko and Nanao when he heard Hisagi call out for him. His tone seemed urgent, so he quickly moved his way. Stepping out on the walkway with him he looked the way Hisagi was looking.
"What's going on?"
"Something is going on I am sure of it." Hisagi motioned with his head as the two moved toward the alley where he saw the girl disappear.
Izuru followed swiftly behind him as they moved down the street trying to stay as inconspicuous as possible so not to cause issues with the public. "Was it a Espada or Ayakashi?"

Hisagi stopped at the edge of the alley and held his hand up to signal his friend to stop, "I don't think it was either. It looked like two soul reapers dragging a girl into an alley from my perspective. But it could be another kidnapping."
He growled slightly as he rubbed his temple, "Too much noise to listen. I guess we rush then." Hisagi turned the corner quickly, hand on the hilt as he staring into the long, blank alleyway, "Of course it has multiple areas to run to."
His eyes scanned the alleyway, seeing about four different alleyways jutting off of the main one.

Izuru looked at Hisagi. "Well, lets check them all." In a flash Izuru was up on the rooftop waiting for Hisagi. When he appeared at his side they parted ways and checked the alleys from above.
Suddenly Hisagi motioned for Izuru to join him. Once at his side they looked down on two Soul Reapers trying to contain a female. Her hands were tied behind her back and a black bag was over her head.
"You'll bring a nice price from mommy and daddy, Kitten." The golden blonde spoke softly to her.
She struggled harder as the ash blondes hand came from his pocket with a syringe. "Time to take a cat nap."
Izuru and Hisagi both dropped down into the alley from the rooftop, their zanpakutos drawn.
