Ryo chuckled and shook her head. "Good day, Captain." She left the Captain Commander's office and headed back towards her own, when she heard wind that Captains Kuchiki and Komamura were sparring in her facilities. Her first thought was to go view the Captains match. But, she was not much of a drinker and what little she did drink with the Captain Commander was taking hold. She headed back to her office, hoping the drink would wear off soon. She had work to do. |

"Loing it Behind Doors":Shunsui flung the doors back to his office wide open, not caring if his strength flung the doors off their hinges and cracked in half. He was furious and behind that, scared. Scared for the first time in a long time. Storming through the office, he walked over to his cabinet of sake and pulled out the strongest bottle he had on hand. He popped the bottle- Then paused. He fell to the ground, still holding the open bottle. "I'm sorry, Yama-jii," he murmured, head lowered to the note that had fluttered off his desk with his lieutenant's flowing precise script. "I can't do this. I keep failing to protect everyone, and now...." he pushed the sake bottle aside, "I've lost the most important thing in my life. You should never have trained me."

Kisuke sighed adjusting his hat as he walked around behind Kyoraku. He kneeled down beside him, "Bullshit! You're the best person for this job. The Goddess may have let Aizen move on the soul society, but did you notice something about the barriers we were placed in?"
He handed Kyoraku his hat as he looked slowly up at Kisuke.

Shunsui dully set his hat aside, lest he destroy it in his current mood. He pushed past the fog of depression setting in and examined his friend’s question. “I noticed that some of us couldn’t move if that is what you mean,” he murmured quietly.
He looked to the sake bottle again. Maybe he should take some.

Kisuke moved the bottle out of Kyoraku's reach as he nodded. "No attacks could exit nor could any attack enter. She was protecting us. As well as protecting Kita." He adjusted his hat again. "The question is. What did Aizen leave with? Where did he go and why did he take Nanao?"
He fell back to a sitting position removing his hat looking down into it. "And now we have a pregnant Kita."

Shunsui chuckled, his eyes clearing more. “He took Nanao because she caused a snag, and he knows what she is to me.” Kisuke’s last words penetrated through his mind, but his mood plummeted again because of it.
He punched the wall behind the cabinet, but withheld enough of his strength to not break it. “It’s not bad enough that I failed to protect Kita - she’s pregnant - couldn’t rescue Yumiko-hime, from Central - or Aizen. I trusted a stupid goddess’ promise more than I should - thinking Aizen wouldn’t be able to enter here. Nanao stayed by my side through it all and has now paid the price for her loyalty.” He dropped his head in his hands. “And all I did was tease her relentlessly. Make her job harder, peak over her shoulder to look at her breasts, touch her a few times, is that so bad?”

Kisuke could not help but chuckle at Kyoraku's last comment. "All memories that she will have with her through all this." He placed his hand back to Kyoraku's shoulder. "At least you know if Aizen touches her he will wear knots like you did."
The two chuckled softly Kyoraku's eyes drifting to the sake bottle. Kisuke shook his head. "You need a clear head. We still have a meeting to finish. There is too much now to let something go overlooked. We will move soon old friend, I promise you. We will get them all back very soon."

Shunsui nodded, determination returning to his eyes. He gently closed and returned the bottle to his cabinet, setting the memo from Nanao inside as well, before closing it. He even chose to lock it. Standing, he tossed the key to the shopkeeper. “Return that to me after the meeting, old friend.”
She will be alright.
He cleared a corner of his desk and sat down, indicating Kisuke take the adjacent chair. “Kita’s arrival presents me with a problem,” he stated. “I can handle Central since Aizen most likely decided to make a visit to their archives. That’s the only reason I can come up with for him to visit us and not create a massacre. However,” he continued, “she boasts enough power to be trouble to all of Soul Society.” I doubt that is something people will let me ignore. What do you suggest?”

Kisuke caught the key with a nod and slipped it into his pocket, following Kyoraku to his desk. He sat in the chair across to him placing his hat back to his head. A long sigh escaped him as he looked downward.
"Besides a lie?" He looked up at his fellow comrade. "You tell them the truth... If you're willing to get your ass in a sling?" He grinned wildly. "Tell them it was one of my crazy contraptions that set off that much force. I will gladly take the heat to protect Kita."

Shunsui chuckled. "I don't want to see you behind bars again because you took the heat for something. You're too valuable to ending this storm we're currently trapped in."
He looked down at his desk, tapping his fingers in thought. "I would guess that some captains will have badgered Juushiro for some information, and he would give them an edited version. And so far, no one has decided that killing the captives is acceptable, which I am thankful for." He looked up at his friend. "How about this story? Kita is harboring a goddess, and the goddess won't let her vessel die. Therefore, she is slowly giving Kita - and now thanks to Aizen - slow control of her powers. Today those powers were amplified by one of Kisuke's devices they managed to nab. Simple enough?" |

Kisuke adjusted his hat and looked to Kyoraku he hesitated to nod. Then nodded slowly. "Can we get her out of this when she finally returns? You know Central is not going to let her walk free once they learn about her."
He stood from the chair and stepped toward the balcony. "I don't want either you or Kita to have to suffer being imprisoned," he pulled his hat over his eyes and sighed. "Yoruichi will understand if I went down for this and in time so would Kenji. But I don't want Kita to have to suffer any more than she already has in this." He turned from the scenery looking back at Kyoraku. "For Gods sake she's pregnant with Aizen child. What will Central think of that one?" He grew silent, his tone then growing angered. "You know what they will do with that child."

Shunsui sighed. "Indeed I do and not one of the choices are good." He pushed his chair back and walked over to his balcony. "We will deal with Central at another time. I have yet to see how they will react if Yumiko ends up using her powers on the divisions." Slowly, he walked back over to his desk. "There is one plausible way to keep Kita away from Central, and I am working out the loopholes now. As long as it doesn't become clear how much power she actually has. it may work. Now, her being with child, Sousuke's child ...."
The captain commander raised his hands hopelessly then laid out his scheme. "Granting Kita some kind of compensation for revealing Azayaka to us, making our ranks safe again, may not work. If it were any other criminal, even Gin Ichimaru, I think I could slip her through their radar, but if it is true that she's pregnant with that man's child, the only way Kita will be safe is if you hide her. As thoroughly as you have hidden Kenji." He scratched his chin.
"Maybe if Sumi would disappear from her, we would have better options. Right now, Kita must never see Soul Society again." |

Kisuke nodded. "I can do that. Hiding her will be more feasible than getting the Goddess out of her." He looked to Kyoraku again shaking his head. "I am not up to trying to kill her again. My heart can't take that a second time around. It almost kill me the first time." Kyoraku rested his hand to his friend shoulder. "I am sure it did." At that moment both their heads whirled around looking the direction of the assembly hall. A dark cloud forming once more as the ground shook with a small trimmer. Quickly and without another word the two were gone headed back to the Captain's Hall to see what was afoot. Moved |

"Falling to Old Habits":
Eyes ablaze, the current Captain Commander of Soul Society shouted orders to different guards. One, he sent to get Kisuke Urahara AND Yoruichi Shihoin. The other he sent to Central to confirm the retrieval of Yumiko Ryouma, though he would rather not. In an afterthought, he also sent for Caption Nori Mutsu before sending the guards away and closing his office door firmly.
Shunsui waited for few minutes and then slammed his hand into his desk, splitting the ancient piece down the middle. For a moment, he regretted the action but only a moment. It was confirmed. Juushiro Ukitake was nowhere to be seen after the espada and Vale Tervaden had disappeared. His old friend’s energy had vanished with his enemy’s. The relief at having Yumiko back did little to nothing to for him. Nanao and his oldest friend were in the hands of the worst demon ever created from Soul Society.
Falling into his chair, the captain commander looked to the bottle in his hand, face now haggard. Part of him realized it was a bit too strong for this occasion, but he didn’t care. He had failed for a third time. He didn’t care about appearances. Let his family finally disown him or Yamamoto appear from his grave and roast his sorry hide. Maybe the Soul King would get a new leader. Someone else could do this. Shunsui raised the sake bottle to his lips and started guzzling the liquid down, letting the acidic liquid burn through his mind.

Ryo walked silently into the office of the Captain Commander. She watch as he drank his pain away. She walked swiftly over to the desk, placing one hand on his shoulder and the other on the bottle. "Captain...That's enough." She lowered the bottle until its bottom rested on the desk. "The pain will still be there, when this bottle is empty."
