Shibungoretsu cracked on the air again, as Kagawa sonido'd forward. The lash missing as Koga tilted his head a bit to the right. Kagawa appeared in front of the former Espada, only to have Koga sonido'd backwards and away from him. He swung Shibungoretsu again, this time the whipped wrapped around Koga's leg. Kagawa twisted the hilt of the whip, sending barbs shooting out along the length of the whip.
"You serve the Lord of this realm with deception and malice." Kagawa spoke calmly. "It ends here."
"And, just who are you to pass judgement?" questioned Fey as he entered the throne room, a hand on the hilt of his zanpakuto.
Kagawa's nearly white eyes stayed focused on the former Espada as he answered his fellow Ayakashi. "I am Kagawa Eiji. You, Aemir Fey have no place here. Go. Or, die."
"You threaten me?"
Koga sonido'd away from Kagawa, his whip ripping into his flesh. "Premonitions are best kept for those would would easily believe them."
"It is a labyrinth, your mind." replied Kagawa. "That is what you said to me." Kagawa's eyes blackened as he appeared in front of the former Espada. He fired a cero directly into Koga's face, sending him into the marble wall behind him. Quickly, he tore the glove from his left hand and sonido'd over to Koga. He palmed the former Espada's face, forcing him back against the wall. "Let's see how much a labyrinth it truly is."

Fey looked on as the room grew eerily sill. A dark shadow covered Koga, as both he and Eiji appeared to frozen in whatever act Eiji was performing. Small whispers could be heard echoing from where Eiji and Koga stood. Fey walked closer to the pair locked in mental combat. His eyes narrowed at the sight of Eiji's scarred hand.
Fey's gaze shifted to Koga as he gasped for air.
"What is this?"

Kagawa was surrounded by a barrage of time - The past, present and future all converging on him at once. He narrowed his eyes, his hand still latched onto Koga's face. He hold tightened on the former Espada.
Visions of the Central Archives flashed before him.
"You need to move exactly as I tell you to. Do not deviate from the path I set before you. Do as I say, and you shall bathe in their blood." Koga's face remained stone as the Fifth went on about the coming bloodshed. His eyes darted around their surroundings, taking in all there was to see. "Two are coming at you head on. Another from your right. End him, first. One of the two coming at you from the front will stumble, causing the other to halt his pursuit momentarily. I will take care of the one that falls behind." Koga brought his index fingers and thumbs together, in the center of his chest, to form a triangle. He remained still and said nothing as his cero charged and the Fifth looked over his shoulder.
As the vision faded, another flashed before him. This vision taking place in the cells of the Shinigami.
"This very act of speaking causes a ripple that changes the future. Unfortunately for you, these ripples make no matter to me. I can always adjust. Which, of course, causes another ripple."
Kagawa swung Shibungoretsu, lashing out at the visions of the past. "I care nothing for the past, Eisaku Koga! Show me!"
"I. Will. Not. LOSE!"
Another vision of a strange house flashed before him.
"This fight for dominion will rage on until the children of your children bear children of their own."
Kagawa's nearly white eyes shined brightly in the dark of the former Espada's mind. "Show me!"

Koga grabbed a hold of Eiji's arm with both his hands, twisting his arm until the Ayakashi let go. Still holding onto his arm, Koga pulled Kagawa down and kneed him in the chest. "This is my realm, Kagawa Eiji. Here you are subject to every ounce of my power. Every passing of time!"
"You forget my power, Koga!" Kagawa swung Shibungoretsu, wrapping it around the former Espada's neck. "Now, show me!"
Koga shifted in form, taking his secondary form. The massive white owl grabbed Kagawa in his large talon and forced him to the ground. Koga screeched loudly, as he stretched his wings.

Fey's eyes narrowed at the blood that began to trickle from the opening wound around Koga's neck. "What the hell..." he muttered. Stepping forward, he noticed blood dripping from Eiji's ear and nose.
"If your curiousity has gotten the better of you," said Teruo, sitting on top on the throne licking his bloody fingers. "I can hurl you into their battle of mental strength."
Fey turned around quickly, his eyes narrowed at Teruo. "Why are you here, Teruo?"
"Oh. How dare the weakest of the Ayakashi speak so boldly to the strongest." Teruo grinned, nearly laughing at the lower Ayakashi. "But, I spare you. For now." At that, Teruo left the room.
Fey placed a hand to his chest as he grunted in frustration. He turned back and looked to the Ayakashi.

Kagawa fired a cero, ripping through a wing of the massive white owl. He growled loudly, a hand going to a cut over his eye. Looking at the owl as it fell to the floor of the darkness, Kagawa sonido'd over to the owl and placed his left hand to the top of the owls head. "Show me!"
A vision of Karakura town flashed before his eyes.
Tervaden stood in the streets of a broken Karakura Town, Ichimaru, and Urahara at his side. A great winged beast stood behind them. They stood before a group of Quincy. A woman, holding a child in her arms, stood between the two groups.
The vision faded quickly, moving to the throne room.
An older Tervaden sat on the throne, his bloody blade resting against the seat. Three knelt before him. Six more knelt behind them, with three more at the very back.
"This is not what I want to see!" Kagawa placed his other hand to Koga's head as he transitioned back to his primary form. He squeezed, attempting to snap the former Espada's skull. "Show me!"

Koga's inner realm grew dark as the pain reached its peak. Whispers grew louder as a vision of what has not happened flashed before them.
"Power, intellect and brutality. The dragons of the sands. These men will make legends of themselves. Words I've spoken before. Words that serve as warning. Not all of them brothers by blood. But, all of them bound by the history that made them. The fight for dominion changing as the old fades away." Koga glanced over his shoulder at the elder Urahara as he sat looking over the First Division.
"Power and brutality, I understand." said Kisuke. He placed a finger to his chin as he thought. "Not Evita. You said brothers." Kisuke began to mumble as he rose from his chair, walking over to the balcony. "What am I missing?" asked Kisuke, looking back at the hollow. "Intellect..."
"A power outweighed by humanity. The bearer of a god's gift. Not like his brothers, the guardian of a stranger fate."
Kisuke turned, eyes wide. "No..."
The vision faded as Koga was released by Eiji. He raised a hand to his head. "Is that what you wished to see?"
"Your betrayal."
"It is a ripple, Eiji. A ripple. The very act of you seeing it, means that it will change."
"I look forward to it."
Koga sighed as his inner realm faded and they returned to the throne room. "It is only a ripple."
To be continued...

“Unbiased Answers”: (continued)
Stepping from the Godly gate, Kita looked around the Throne room. It was empty. She then turned stepping lively toward his chamber door."Kita! Stop!" Sumi called out to her appearing in the throne room with her.
"There is nothing here that can hurt me, Sumi stop trying to keep me from my answers. He is here."
"He was here." Sumi replied.
"I can feel his energy. Strongly." Kita still move quickly toward the door. As she took a few more steps the door opened slowly. It then flung open completely, the appearance of Ulquiorra now apparent.
Kita stopped in her path and looked him dead in the eyes and ask. "Where is Aizen?"

Ulquiorra blinked. “He is attending to his business,” the Fourth replied, setting the book he’d been ordered to retrieve into his jacket. "I would, however, be unsurprised if he changes the order of those affairs when he’s alerted to your visit." He walked over to the balcony. "Why have you come this time? To fail in taking his life like others before you? Or to return to this side of creation?”

"None of the above, Ulquiorra. I only want to talk to the man. I need answers, answers only he can provide to my questions." She told him as her eyes followed his moments across the room.
"Let me ask you a question while you are here."
He turned his dark green eyes to the vessel in the room. His hands sinking deep into his pockets. "Proceed."
"Has Vale been here in the last few days, weeks or even months? The truth, don't tell me lies."

Ulquiorra set his hands into his jacket, eyes narrowing at the vessel before him. "I do not lie, woman. That is a skill your kind excels in, not mine. If you cannot handle the bare truth, it will eat you alive and take from you what it wants. Simple as that." He paused, his dark emerald gaze still locked on Kita Miyamoto. "Yes, he has been here."

Kita nodded in silence agreeing with him on the human race and hiding the truth from one another. She then spoke to him again, asking another question. "So other then the time you came to retrieve him for Aizen..." she hesitated casting her eyes down from his piercing eyes.
"He has returned?" She looked back up to him, Ulquiorra nodding slowly. "Is he back at Aizen's side?"
"I did not say that, woman," the stoic Espada replied. "That is what you are saying."
"My name is Kita or Miyamoto. Stop calling me woman. You are intelligent enough to know that's rude when you know someone as well you know myself, and I am not assuming or implying anything. I am asking questions." She looked deep into the Espada's eyes asking her questions more clearly. "Now again. Has he returned since that day you came to retrieve him and if he has, has he returned to Aizen's side?"

Ulquiorra's responded again. "I know your name, woman, but there is no reason for me to use it at this time. You have not returned to this realm where you belong, and you are even now exhibiting a long streak of foolish folly. I will address you as I will." He looked to the sky for a moment before responding again to her question. "Vale Tervaden has returned, but it is not to Aizen's side he has returned. Does that erase your doubt or create even more, vessel?"

Kita's eyes narrowed at him in calling her woman once more as she walked over to the throne and took a seat. "Go find your master for me Espada. I am on a set time limit and I need to speak with him now."
She sit back crossing her legs as her long skirt slid to one side reveling her long shapely legs. She looked his way as he turned, his dark green eyes narrowed at her demand of him. "Last I recalled your orders were to serve me, watch over me and tend to my needs. I don't ever remember Aizen revoking that. Now go Espada." She turned back getting comfortable as she faced the empty room.

Ulquiorra took a step towards her. “Your time away has given you cause to forget the correct orders, woman.” Her eyes narrowed further at him at the term yet again. It always affected her. The Espada moved on with the matter at hand. “My orders were to take away the lies Soul Society wrapped around you and to mold you into the power you could be. I was to train and administer your punishments. To teach you your place in this realm and with Lord Aizen.” He took another step forwards, taking his hand from his jacket. “It would see you are in need of a reminder.”
His hand whipped out but paused before swinging towards her as a voice called to him.
“Unfortunately, Ulquiorra if you were to follow your orders now, Szayel would be needing to piece you together.” Aizen walked into the room. “And he is already working on a couple projects which I would like completed first.”
Ulquiorra turned away from Kita and bowed his head. “As you wish, my lord.” He reached into his jacket and handed him the book he had been sent to find in the first place. “This is the volume you requested for the task at hand in Hell.”
