Kisuke nodded to Byakuya as he then looked back to the young couple. "I will give you both a couple of minutes to say good night." He looked pointedly at Sojiro. "Make it quick. You will see her again very soon. There is no reason to drag it out."
Sojiro and Makino both nodded to him as Kisuke walked over to Byakuya and took hold of his arms making him walk with him. Once far enough away they waited, giving the two a few minutes. However, Byakuya did not wait as quietly as Kisuke had hoped. As the couple were parting from their good night kiss, Byakuya turned and started a path their direction once more. Kisuke sighed adjusting his hat over his eyes.
"Such a stick in the mud, still yet." He quickly followed in behind him until he stopped beside the two.

The two looked up as he approached. “Ichimaru, join the Commander. I have a private word for Makino.” He nodded, kissed her on the forehead and then walked away. Makino looked up at him with a tilt to her head. He raised an eyebrow. “I did not believe your memory was that flimsy, Makino Masanobu.”
Her eyes widened. “According to your roommate, you left your dorm room alone after what we discussed in detail yesterday. Do I need to inform the teachers or send you home?"

"I did not leave the campus and I was practically indoors." Her arm lifted as she pointed to the Zanjutsu Training Hall. "I was only in the training field. I had things I needed to get off my mind. These last few days have not been the best as you know of the weekend."
She kept eye contact with him, her tone smooth and calm. "And if you have met my roommate I am sure you can see why I wanted to get out of that room. She does not help matters when you have things weighing on you." She paused for a second remembering Mitsuo was there. "And before you say anything about I was still alone. I wasn't. One of my classmates was in the training field with me. Ask him, Hayashi Mitsuo. Sojiro showed up later. I was able to tell them both of what happen to me and Allura. So they are aware of those guys."

Nodding to that, Byakuya’s face twisted as he recalled her roommate. “That is good. And yes, I met your roommate. Briefly. Which is all I wish to know of her. She will be replaced.” Makino opened her mouth. His eyes narrowed. “It will be your mother’s and brother’s choice, but it is my belief that she is not the appropriate companion for you. This goes beyond inconvenience or a selfish whim.”
He looked towards the building. “That isn’t far, but it doesn’t take much to grab someone. If you are leaving your room to clear your mind, you are distracted. Keep that in mind. And do not let yourself think that because Aizen is making a move that they will not. This kind of chaos would help them.” He looked back to her. “Keep vigilant, but do not make a fool out of yourself with worry.”

A warm smile spread across her lips a soft look entered her eyes as she looked to the man standing before her. She could have sworn she saw her father standing in front of her. It was something he would have told her in this situation.
When he turned back to look at her the look on her face changed and she bowed quickly to hide her expression. "Yes sir. I will do just that."
Hearing Byakuya give an agreeing gesture she looked back up at him. "Thank you Kuchiki-sama."

Byakuya hesitated, but decided that a nod was not appropriate in this situation. It wasn’t adequate. “You’re welcome,” he murmured. Turning around, he continued, “You are a Masanobu and a Tori. Danger is in your future. You will not let one more facet deter or weaken you. You will face it and grow stronger for it….. And I will not let it go further.” He walked away.
His eyes like obsidian at the wide smile from the shopkeeper. “Not one word, Urahara.”

Kisuke chuckled lightly shaking his head. "Not a word, papa, not a word." His hand lifted to his hat as he adjusted it looking to Sojiro. "Lets go we are not getting any younger and time is not going to stop for us." He started toward the Academy gates as the two followed in behind him. To his surprise Byakuya struck up a conversation with the boy and it had nothing to do with his Aizen abduction. It was about Makino. However, it did not last long, like the breeze it shifted and Byakuya ask for more details on what happen between the two while Sojiro was with him, and if he gave any more hint on what his true plans might be.

"Forty-eight Hours":Makino and Sojiro walked on to the campus grounds after telling Shirou good bye and thanked him for the escort back to the academy. They really did not want to have to drag Shirou out that early, but Byakuya asked him to do this for him since Makino was threatened by the thugs and Sojiro was nine times out of ten being watched by someone Aizen had on the inside of Soul Society.
Shirou did not mind at all and was rather pleased that he got to spend some quality time with his baby sister and her new guy. They chatted and laughed along their way, Shirou embarrassing both his baby sister and Sojiro with a few of his questions and comments. Though, Makino never saw Sojiro as red as he was when Shirou was talking about deflowering his baby sister, and if he ever did he would remove his private parts. Sojiro assured that nothing like that had happened, but somewhere in the conversation as they talked the conversation shifted and Shirou started telling Sojiro ways of how to satisfy a woman. If that was not enough, a gilt sparked in Sojiro's eyes and he started picking on Shirou, or at least she thinks Sojiro was picking on him. There was a few times that the looks Sojiro gave to her, she wondered, as he went on to tell Shirou that even though he may not have deflowered his baby sister yet there was no promise that it would not happen with the way she kept tempting him with her actions and words and her amazing eyes.
Shirou cuffed the back of Sojiro's head with one of his comments, but neither was angered at the other. They only laughed it off. It was really heart warming to see Shirou and Sojiro bonding like that. It was kind of sad when they had to part ways, but they knew they had to get to class and they promised to get together again as soon as this whole mess with Aizen was dealt with. As they walked closer to the dorms so Sojiro could run in and change real quick, Makino stood outside the boys dorm building and waited for him, hoping to see Allura pass by. Sure enough she saw her walking through the courtyard as Makino called out to her, waving her hand high over her head so she would see her.
"ALLURA!! OVER HERE!!" She smiled brightly at Allura when she looked her way, Makino waved her over.

Allura looked over as she heard her name called and saw her friend, she hesitated for a moment and looked around before approaching and greeting her friend with a smile and a cheerful voice, "Hey there."
She glanced to the boys' dorm then back to Makino, "Waiting on Sojiro?"

"Mhm, he needed to change since he did not have a change of clothes at my home." Makino told her.
"Huh?" Allura questioned with a calm tone but a look of confusion."Your family allowed for him to stay the night with you?"
Makino smiled with a soft chuckle. "Well not with me in my room of course, but he did stay at the house. He needed to talk to my family about what happened yesterday and Byakuya ask my mother to put him up for the night since he was exhausted from the day."

"Seems you've had an exciting week, my friend." Allura laughed a bit at her own words and got a sort of glimmer in her eyes as a few things began to pop into her mind.
"Oh yeah, you being here reminded me. I've heard quite a few things despite these events being so recent... Rumors are flying everywhere. Mostly about Sojiro and how you have fallen for someone who is being recruited by Sosuke Aizen and all this other crap." She shook her head at the end of her sentence then looked to Makino, "I doubt half of them even believe what they're trying to spread, they just like hearing themselves talk."

Makino sighed shaking her head. "So true." She looked around the campus grounds than back to Allura. "Let them talk we know what the truth is." Allura gave her an inquiring look like she was asking her to spill the beans. Makino giggled softly. "I guess you want to know?" Allura raised a brow causing Makino to giggle again.
"Well it is nothing good that is for sure. It seems there is a key that is needed by Aizen to open this box that belonged to Sojiro's mother. He wants what is inside."
"So why don't he just crush the box instead of all this drama?"
Makino shrugged, "I ask Sojiro the same question. He told me the box was created by his Grandfather so it would not be that easy to crush without causing damage to what is inside. Not only that, what is inside only his mother can control. He knows in demanding the key it will call his mother out because she don't what Aizen to have it."
"So why Sojiro? Why not go straight to his mother and why would he need to talk to your family about that?"
"Because Sojiro was the one that had the key The reason he needed to talk to my family was because Aizen told Sojiro he had seventy-two hours to bring him the key or he was releasing the Ayakashi back on Soul Society and then went as far as to threaten me, along with the Academy and his mother."

Allura listened and nodded she then looked at Makino, "So what exactly is their solution to the problem?"
"That I don't know. It's in the Commander's hands. From what Sojiro told me they took his mother and his little brother to the Gotei for safe keeping." She looked around seeing members of the Gotei posted across the campus grounds, some on top of the buildings some on the ground. "I would have to say from the movement I am seeing they are on high alert right now." She looked back to Allura and smiled warmly. "That would be my guess anyway."
"At least it's getting taken care of." She looked around at the Gotei and laughed to herself.
"Yeah, you can't go anywhere in the school without running into at least one. I've mostly just stayed to myself since everyone seems so on edge." Allura gave a bit of a sheepish smile as she continued, "Despite them being seemingly everywhere though I manage to lose my 'escorts' easily."

"I would be careful doing that. Captain Kuchiki scolded me something furious for leaving my room yesterday when I could not handle being in that room any longer with Sayako." Makino chuckled.
"It seems Captain Kuchiki got a taste of her when they came to my room looking for Sojiro. I can only imagine what they walked into to or what kind of attitude she popped with them. Captain Kuchiki would not say. So I am taking it was something no one would have wanted to walk into." She giggled covering her mouth. "The poor man. It was so bad he is having Sayako transferred to another room."

Allura merely shook her head, "I swear with the things I've heard of her I'm kind of glad I haven't directly met her yet."
"Wait a moment. Are there any other girls with an empty room besides me?" The question buzzed inside her mind because she almost immediately knew what it meant if that was the case.
