~Going in blind.~

Miyuu comes up to stand near Shin.Quietly,so the others do not hear she whispers,"Remain on alert.If they start something and we have ta fight cast something binding,the strongest ya got, on Akkei first.Her powers would be the most trouble.I'll go fer Kurai,wind works against him."

'Hmhm,just like he said,it's spreading faster now.Fortunately it won't be a problem for much longer.But to deal with issue at hand.' Smiling cheerfully she raises her previously hidden reiatsu until it actually becomes faintly visible and the air grows heavy."I asked if I could borrow your right arm for a moment, Mikiru. Yes?Why,thank you.It'll just be a moment." With one arm she grasps Mikiru's right hand,pulling it towards herself with surprising strength.Out of an inner pocket she pulls out what looks like a black armband with red writing. After whispering something and causing it to flash brightly once she snaps it on Mikiru's wrist,letting go of his arm."Here,you may have it back now." (Note:About the armband,it's Akkei's invention.It suppresses Hollow spirit energy completely,allowing Mikiru control.Though it works only once,breaking afterward.)

Mikiru seems dazed and winces as the hollow reiatsu is pulled back. "NHG!!" his eye returns to normal, but he suddenly collapses as he's pulled into his inner world as well. *note, Mikiru fainted and is unconsious. the hollow also pulled him into his inner world as it was being supressed.*

Moving swiftly Kurai catches unconscious Mikiru.Looking used to this Akkei turns to face Altria."Now then,if you don't mind I'd like to propose a deal.I won't tell our leader about that boy behind you and in return you'll let me see your zanpakuto for a moment.I won't do anything to it,I promise.There's just something I'd like to..check."

Shiro glares at Akkei but also seems a bit scared. ".... ok... Why does everyone seem to know me? and Why the heck should we trust you??" He staggers slightly but regains his balance. (in thought) 'urg! this is ridiculous! why won't this pain.... just go away?!?'

Altria turns slightly pale,glancing behind her.'How can she know?What to do..can't have them find out..' Biting her lower lip she looks at Akkei intently." Fine.But if you lied I'll make you regret it.And..you can look but I'm not letting Tsukiyomi out of my grasp." Reluctantly she holds out her zanpakuto.

Shiro glares warily at Akkei, his reiatsu flickers and seems to have a hollow-like signature occasionally.

Akkei smiles at Shiro's question."Oh,I don't really know you boy.But we have met.Of course,you wouldn't remember it.Getting purified does that sometimes." Stepping closer she lifts one hand,gathering purple spirit energy around it,and moves it back and forth over Tsukiyomi a few times.Coming to some decision she nods to herself,taking a step back."That was very helpful,you have my gratitude."

Mikiru tenses for a moment then goes limp, he tenses up again then goes limp for a long while. It seems like he's reacting to something but what it is, is unknown. he let's out a somewhat pained moan, then falls silent.

Shiro stares at Akkei in confusion, but something seems to dawn on him. (in thought) 'Purified? .... what is she talking abou- ... wait... Arrancar.... is she saying I used to be... an Arrancar? uhg... my head is throbbing... uhg.'
He looks pained and rubs his temples.

Looking at Akkei warily she sheathes her zanpakuto.'Tsuki?' There's silence for a minute before he answers.'You have nothing to worry about Kichoo.Rest easy.' Letting out a relieved sigh she rubs her eye again."You had better keep your end." Glancing at Mikiru her curiosity gets the better of her and she can't resist asking,"What did you do?"

"Of course.I would never break my word once it is given." Looking at Mikiru a sad expression flickers across her face for an instant,quickly replaced with the usual amused look."The armband is something I worked hard to create.Sadly,it only works ones,breaking afterward,and making each takes awhile.So I only use them under special circumstances.It suppresses Hollow spirit energy completely, allowing Mikiru control.Though it would seem this time it pulled him in as well."

Shiro seems confused and still in pain, "what do you mean... pulled in as well?"

"Into the inner world you shinigami posses." Tilting her head she looks at Shiro intently ."Experiencing some pain,hmm?"

Mikiru twitches slightly, then remains still. he lets out a muffled groan then falls silent.

Shiro tries to hide his pained expression but fails miserably, "wh-what are you talking about? I-I'm fine. nhg" he winces as the burning pain intensifies.

Akkei smirks."Don't lie to me kid.Right now,you're in pain.I'm not a cruel person so we'll be leaving now,it should fade then." Snapping her fingers she opens a garganta."Thank you for your help girl.I'll come see you very soon." Motioning to Kurai Akkei walks through,the garganta closes after he follows.

curious about what happen. shin waited for them to leave and goes to altria.

"What did she do?"

She shakes her head."I don't know.But Tsuki said not to worry so I'm not going to.How's your arm?"

"No worries. It seems to be okay now."

shin looks at the stone statues..

"Are they reversable?"

She looks sadly at the statues."No.That thing said it could not be undone.But maybe..maybe 12th division could?"

Shiro looks at his kunai in wonder. "...hm..." he seems like he's pondering something.

'All those shinigami and I can do nothing to help.' Feeling depressed she runs a hand over one statue sadly.'Do not despair.It is not your fault.Everyone has limits,you cannot save all.But you have made a difference for one.Rejoice for it, pray for those gone and move forward,'Tsukiyomi's warm voice runs over her and she feels him reaching out with comfort.Feeling a little better she remembers Akkei's words about Shiro and turns to look at him."Shiro?The pain..is it really gone like she said?"

Shiro looks up and nods, "yeah.... but I don't know why exactly." Fenikkusu appears and is sitting on Shiro's shoulder.

Looking thoughtful she ponders something before speaking,"I think..if the pain disappeared when they left..then it's connected to them.Probably that bastard Mikiru..since he's the one.." Altria shivers remembering,a dark look clouding her face.
