Allura narrowed her eyes and bit back any rude remark she had brewing. She wasn't going to let someone she didn't know get under her skin that easily. Especially one with such a self-righteous attitude.
Instead she settled to just scoff to herself and turned her attention back to Makino, deciding to ignore Ryusuke entirely, "It's nice to meet you by the way. Sorry if my excitement over my grade bothered you or anything."

Makino shook her head. "You have to excuse him." She looked to Ryusuke. "Along with a big brain, he has no couth, no common sense and is slightly unsocial. However," She looked back to Allure and smiled.
"He grows on you." She leaned toward Allura slightly her hand lifting as she placed it beside her mouth and spoke softly but not so Ryusuke could not hear her. "Kinda like a Science experiment that went bad." She giggled softly, stumbling a little when Ryusuke pushed her playfully.

Allura snickered, at least it wasn't just her that thought the same of him, "I could easily see that." She had to admit, she didn't mind the company these two brought, they were both enjoyable enough, even if her and Ryusuke are off to a rough start.
She raised an eyebrow as she spoke next, "Where exactly are you two off to?"

"We were just heading to lunch, getting slightly late so we figured after that test we deserve the food," Ryusuke smiled at Allura, "I'm going to ask before the lady Makino asks you first. Would you like to join us? It would be decent to say the least that you would join us." "Ryu-kun!" Makino replied in a shocked tone shaking her head. "She don't have to join us if she don't want to." She looked to Allura. "You're welcome to join us though if you like."
Allura laughed at their interaction but nodded and stood, "Sure. I don't see how it could hurt any. It's pleasant enough to have company." Ryusuke smirked at Makino, "I asked because I knew you were going to ask anyway, and by her facial expression at you, she was going to say yes anyway," He bowed at Allura, "Thank you for joining us, lets be on our way. I'm starving."Moved

"Family Business" (continued): "Inappropriate? You mean to tell me your claiming to be courting this woman, but it's one sided?" He looked over his shoulder at Byakuya as they walked out onto the Academy grounds, Kisuke so wrapped up in what he and his fellow Captain were speaking about he did not see who was right in front of him. "You know, Kuchiki. its not hard. Just tell her... "Look, Saya, you turn me you on and I want make more babies with you." Byakuya growled at him as he too now noticed Sojiro and Makino in front of them. Makino frozen in her tracks her eyes wide after hearing what Kisuke had just said to him. He tried to grab Kisuke before he ran right into her. Sojiro trying to pull Makino out of Kisuke's path as well, but the two collided. Kisuke knocking Makino to the ground as she looked up at him, still wide eyed. Kisuke turned adjusting his hat with a slight tip of it to the lady on the ground as he smiled brightly at her. "I am so sorry, little lady. I was not paying attention to where I was walking." He offered a hand as his hat was jerked of his head and he was smacked with it. "KISUKE!!"Kisuke looked the way of the voice seeing Sojiro standing beside him an annoyed look on his face. "Sojiro?"

“Thanks a lot for embarrassing my girlfriend when I was almost on the way to meeting you, Grandfather,” Sojiro muttered. “I am sure she wanted to know ALL about her mother and the captain.”
“But it’s really not hard-”
Sojiro smacked him again and then paused at another retort when he spotted the feverish glint in his eyes. “Kisuke…. when did Teruo attack you?”
Kisuke adjusted his hat and tilted his head. “Well, you know it’s funny you should mention that…” He looked to the lady now behind his grandson. “Tell me,” he winked, “how much of a catch is my grandson?” He paused, grinning widely. “That good, huh?”
Sojiro looked at Makino whose cheeks had turned a pretty pink. He felt his own face flush in return. And whirled on his relative, trying to keep a cocky grin back at the same time. “KISUKE!” he smacked him again. “Answer the question or I am keeping the hat!”

"Well--You little asshole--Oops! Sorry Lady Masanobu." His eyes narrowing at his grandson that held his hat hostage. "Return the hat." Kisuke held out his hand for it.
"Not until you tell me what happened," Sojiro grunted.
"Well...That Bast--" he cleared his throat a fisted hand in front of him mouth. "He attacked me. Drug me to Las Noches, not sure by whose orders. Seto's I am guessing since I was there to witness Aizen's death by Seto's hands. However," Kisuke fell silent as he looked to the ground, the fight between Aizen and Seto flashed in his mind. He sighed heavily.
"It didn't quite work out that way." Kisuke said silently. He looked back to Sojiro as Makino now clung to his arm. "Where is your mother?"

“Back at her home where she refuses to move even if Aizen threatened her,” Sojiro responded. The bluntness didn’t leave his tone as he continued. “Aizen wants the key you gave me or he will send the Ayakashi. For Mom’s - and Maki’s lives. As well as terrorize the academy as a whole.”
As Makino tightened her grip on his arm, he gave a small smile. “I won’t let them hurt you.” He looked back at Kisuke. “She won’t budge. And no one will find the key. We have two more days - after today. If Aizen doesn't look ahead and accelerate the deadline because it is lost.”
“And if this attack on you wasn’t an acceleration of that.” He looked from Kisuke to Captain Kuchiki. The noble captain looked grim. Sojiro held Makino closer and faced Kisuke again. “What happened with Seto?"

Kisuke shook his head. "He is no longer of this realm or any realm of the living."
Sojiro's eyes widened. "You mean...he's...he's. Dead? --Mom..." Sojiro's head hung as his hand grasped his forehead, covering his eyes.
Kisuke grew silent for a brief moment with his question. "His plans to destroy Aizen failed. Aizen drove his sword into his chest then cut him in half. I tried to get to him as quickly as I could, but I had Sada in Hime's Bloody Coffin." Kisuke hung his head. "I couldn't get to him in time. Then I blacked out and came to, back in Soul Society."

Sojiro growled beneath his breath as Makino tugged on his sleeve.
“Soji-kun?”
“I’m okay…” he hissed. He fell silent for a few moments and then rubbed his face and lifted it. “Mom will be a wreck. Again. And Kadaj…. he’s younger than I was when I was separated from them in Las Noches. This …” He took a deep breath and squared his shoulders. “Please tell me that your weakness means you got Teruo at least. After everything.”
Kisuke lowered his hat further. “I’d feel a little less guilty if I had. But I didn’t.”
“Dad?”
“I told Gin to stay far away from Las Noches unless I specifically ordered him back there. Considering Byakuya here gave Tsukiro and Kairo the idea to roughen him up when they bring him in from the Rukon, I would say he’s doing exactly what I told him to do.”
Sojiro looked down again and Makino kissed his cheek, holding him close. “I’m glad Dad should be safe… but …. it won’t help Mom. Or Daj.” He kicked a rock in the path into the undergrowth. “He keeps hurting us! Every time! I still had questions for Seto!"

Kuchiki stayed silent, observing Makino supporting the young Ichimaru, her arms wrapped around him, for a few minutes. “We need to keep moving. Two days is too short a time to prepare for three attacks from the Ayakashi. And persuade the vessel to cooperate. Even if we now know that Ashimitsu and Namori were correct in their guess about the situation, that does not mean we should twaddle.”

Makino looked from Byakuya when he finished speaking as she looked to Sojiro. Taking his hand in hers, he turned and looked at her stepping quickly into her, he wrapped his arms tightly around her holding her close to him. "Are you alright, Soji-kun?" She ask him wrapping her arms tightly around him. They held one one another for a few minutes as Sojiro then released her.
Cupping one of his cheeks, she kissed the other tenderly then rested her forehead against his speaking softly to him. "Go to your mother and comfort her. She will need you in this time as will your little brother." She leaned in kissing his cheek again.
"I will be here when you come back. Take as much time as you need for them."
"There is no time for that." His hands quickly lifted as he cupped her face between his hands. "If we don't stop Aizen he will take you away from me. He will hurt you." He quickly pulled her into him again wrapping his arms tightly around her. "I can't lose you."
Makino smiled bright at his confession her arms wrapped around him as well as she hugged him in return. "And your not going to. I am sure we..." she looked to Kisuke and Byakuya. "They will come up with something to stop him. I will be alright, now while you are gone and if and when Aizen decides to return."

Sojiro took another breath. “Come with me,” he said. He looked to the noble captain whose eyes narrowed slightly then back to her. “I need to talk to your mother and siblings as soon as possible. Or I wont’ be able to protect you. If you meet my mother. And brother. It will help them a little bit.” He caressed her cheek. “Finding out about you. And us.”
He turned back to Kisuke. And Captain Kuchiki. “I can’t linger. Not until after I have spoken to her family. She’s already been scared. Now, she’s in danger. Because of me. And that won’t change.” He laced his hand with hers. “I won’t let her go.”

Kisuke sighed hiding behind his hat as he pulled it down over his eyes. "Sojiro, do you really think--"
"I forbid it!" Byakuya growled as he looked to the couple, thus causing Makino to tighten her grip in Sojiro's hand she held.
"WHY!?" Sojiro bellowed. "She won't slow us down! You know as well as I do she can keep up and she can fight if needed!"
"Soji-kun." Makino's free hand slid to his shoulder trying to calm him.
"She is already in danger with or without your involvement. I will not have her out in the middle of the night traveling between villages." Byakuya informed him.
Sojiro growled and was about to speak, but Makino spoke first. "Soji-kun, he is right." She griped his hand in hers. "Even though I am with the three of you. I might draw unwanted and unneeded attention to your travails. That would only slow you down." She looked to Byakuya releasing Sojiro's hand and bowed to the Captain. "Captain Kuchiki. I ask you now, not as a subordinate, but as someone that I am sure will be part of the Kuchiki legacy, very soon. Will you go with Sojiro to speak to my family in his defense?"
Kisuke adjusted his hat a wide, and proud grin across his lips as he looked to Sojiro. "You have found yourself quite the gem Sojiro." He looked to Byakuya as they all waited for his answer.

Kuchiki couldn’t stay silent for long. Time would not permit it, and it was something he had considered a long time. He was a matter of necessity. “I will speak of giving Sojiro a chance and the difficulty of changing fate where an Ichimaru is involved, but it will not be easy to convince your eldest brother. Even if your mother will be more tolerant.”
He looked to Ichimaru. “Your legacy will be the biggest defense against any relationship with Makino, but your qualities may be enough to risk such.” He paused. “And your blessing.” He looked to Kisuke. “The gods protecting him will be perceived as good fortune.”
