Sensing the change in their Reiatsu, Kuro got excited. "Alright! Now, just to cover things, this Reiatsu pellet will NOT: Give me power over you, kill you, let me control you, or cause you harm in any way. I've had to explain this to many-a-person, and a few Shinigami as well. There was something else everyone got suspicious for.......but i forgot. But if you have any doubts, please speak up before i take your Reiatsu, miss." He said, at the end referring to the Female Shinigami, because he could tell that she was suspicious of his intentions, which were actually quite innocent. Then he reached for Seishuku's Reiatsu, found him willing to give it, and mentally pulled, painlessly removing a small amount of Reiatsu, and solidifying it to create twenty-five small capsules of Reiatsu. Looking closely at them, he took in their own unique appearance. Each circular pill looked like a full moon. However, in the center was a Wolf's fang, colored, from top to bottom, Orange, light scarlet, then Crimson. On the reverse side was another fang, pointed in the opposite direction, with the colors, from top to bottom, in reverse order. "Well, your Reiatsu takes an interesting appearance. I like it!" he told the Shinigami Vice-Captain, handing him 24 of Seishuku's Reiatsu and one of his own. "Eat those and you'll be at the same level of Reiatsu as before. Or you could save them and wait for an hour, thats when Reiatsu usually finishes recharging 25 Reiganzai's worth. Be careful eating my Reiatsu though, it could affect your power slightly and in an interestingly explosive way. Nothing that would harm you, but still could be a bit surprising. However, one Reiganzai will not affect you very much or for very long." he reassured. "Now, ma'am, do you have anything to ask before i manifest your Reiatsu? Feel free to ask anything of me, I can take any question you throw at me."

Tayte watched as the so called ‘Reiganzai’ were created. True to his word, the man returned twenty-four of the Reiatsu pellets back to the other Shinigami. Tayte still had doubts about the man’s intentions. However, all her questions were answered, though she had no intention of asking them to begin with. The woman had already prepared herself to give away some of her Reiatsu despite her doubts. Then, the man began talking about the reiganzai affecting her power slightly. Even if it was slightly, how slightly was it? How will it be affected? Would the affects be good or bad? Though he said it would harm her, what would make her trust his word? The whole subject seemed kind of iffy. However, he had managed to peak her interest. If he was an honest man and could be trusted, then the affects would not harm her. That was ‘if’ he was honest. If he wasn’t, then the moment she popped on into her mouth she could be blown sky high. But, if the affects weren’t bad, what would they do? Would her strength and speed be tripled and her hairs suddenly spike upwards and turn golden? Would electricity flow around her along with a golden aura? “Just give him your Reiatsu, you know you want to…” That oh so annoying voice persisting on getting the woman to give up her reiatsu. It eventually got the point where she could no longer contain her curiosity. Though, her facial features remained as cold and empty as always, hiding her childish inquisitiveness.
“No, I have no questions to ask.”
She spoke in plainly. She also wanted to see how her Reiganzai would turn out. Seishuku’s turned out pretty interesting. It kind of looked like a moon, and had what appeared to be wolf fangs on it.

"Hmph."
From around the three figures that made up the group, the meer sound might have seemed like a whisper in the wind of a dead tree, cold but resolute. The owner of the voice itself had popped in from somewhere near in the area, and was now nearby. The lithe figure was only ten yards away, head cocked back, what might have been a grin there etched in for the meerest of seconds and then it was gone. She, as it was a female, fumbled her hand by her side. The half broken mask on her face signified her existance as an Arrancar, a Numeros. And that meant she was not to be taken lightly.
She eyed the ones in front of her, the two shinagami and the human one. "So, you destroyed the little pets I had made only moments before....it's a shame, I rather liked the prospect of a buliding haunted by Hollows. It's a dead shame..." She said, her words almost playful. She acted now like it was no big deal.Her zanpaukuto was hung loosely at her side, even though one hand was slung next to it. The red eye not hidden by her mask seemed to be eyeing the one she thought was the strongest....the man in the shinagami attire. Anaklusmos was going to have fun today, even if it killed someone.

-(Way to research Uryuujin. =D)-
Seishuku listened closely as Kuro tried to make sure that both him Naiyashi had no reason to be fearful of giving up their reiatsu to some random kid on the street. The Vice-Captain felt his reiatsu being pulled away, and he looked carefully as tiny black pellets began to take shape. Their design changed greatly, as they looked like a moon with two fangs and colored like his and Urufa's hair/fur color. Seishuku took the 24 pellets in his hand, and stuffed 23 in his pockets. He looked at the remaining one, and realized that each fang was him and his zanpakuto.
Fascinating, its so..... And suddenly, his thoughts were interrupted by what was essentially a piercing schreech in his mind. "OH MY GOD I LOVE IT! ITS SO PRETTY!" At this Seishuku jumped a bit, and held his ear. Why was she always so blunt? Seishuku slipped the pill into his pocket, so he didn't drop it the next time Urufa decided to shatter his eardrums. "Thanks Kuro, and my zanpakuto loves it too." He smiled a bit, and then waited without a sound.
He felt that Naiyashi was giving up her reiatsu, and looked at Kuro, waiting to see how the 3rd seat's reiganzai would turn out. After the reiganzai turned out, Seishuku heard something, but couldn't make out what it was, He did feel the strong reiatsu though, and turned around to see a shocking figure. A blue, female, Arrancar was staring Seishuku dead in the eye. He heard the comment about creating Hollow to hanut the orphanage, and kill the children within it.
Seishuku was still shocked that an Arrancar was there, but now he felt his rage pulling his hand onto his sword. She had killed all those children, for her own pleasure. It was her nature to kill, to murder without purpose, so he would not questio her motives or anything of the like. He spoke a few words to the other two, without removing his eyes from the Arrancar. "You two are to stay here, and that's an order. She feels like a Numeros, and if I lose I want you to run." He spoke strongly, and drew his sword from it sheath.
"Vice-Captain of Squad 8, Seishuku Saishun. If you leave right now, we can avoid this conflict."

After giving the Vice-Captain his Reiganzai back, Kuro created twenty-five new ones of Tayte's Reiatsu. On one side, they were black with a black lightning bolt concealed in a white aura. On the reverse, they were all white save a black dog's head in the center. He gave Tayte her 24 of the Reiganzai, and one of his own, and put the remaining in his bag. Then he noticed Seishuku looking at something overhead. "You two are to stay here, and that's an order. She feels like a Numeros, and if I lose I want you to run." Bull-SHIT! Kuro shouted mentally, followed by a audatory "Hell no! I'm not any suboordinate of yours! And you'll need help!" At this, his Marks glowed in an eerie way, Black with Maroon outlines. "You wont fight this thing alone"

Tayte felt her Reiatsu being extracted from her. Being handed twenty-four of her Reiganzai, she stuffed twenty-three in her pocket and held on up to look at. It really was quite interesting how the pellets came out. The woman couldn’t help but smirk at how well her Reiganzai portrayed her. Like most of her attacks, there was a black lightning bolt wrapped in a white aura on one side of the pellet. The other side was white and showed the head of a black dog. Tayte could only assume that the dog was meant to symbolize Hitokai. The Shinigami’s eyes were glistening with pride as she looked at the one Reiganzai she held in her hand. “See, what’d I tell ya? Was it not a good idea? Did the man cause you to implode? No. Next time, just do as I say from the beginning.” Tayte was about to reply to the ignorant spirit. However, she had sensed a new presence. Such strong Reiatsu was damn near impossible to miss. The woman refused to turn around for a moment. She had the image in her mind that if she turned to see who it was, she might end up staring into the eyes of the boogieman. Unfortunately, she had no choice but to confront the one who had sent the hallows to the orphanage to begin with.
“You two are to stay here, and that's an order. She feels like a Numeros, and if I lose I want you to run.”
“Hell no! I'm not any subordinate of yours! And you'll need help!” “You won’t fight this thing alone.”
Tayte placed her free hand on her Zanpakuto. Clenching the hilt tightly, she drew out her blade and called upon it just as she had done several minutes ago. This caused the blade to turn into nothing but black lightning emitting from the hilt. It wasn’t her position to refuse orders from a Vice-Captain, even if it wasn’t hers, but at this point, they had a better shot at taking out the Arrancar if they fought her three-on-one. If they didn’t, than Seishuku would definitely be killed. Then who would the Arrancar go after? The two fools who ran away, that’s who. No, Tayte was not going to go out like that. If she was going to go out, she’d go out swinging. Yes, that was the best way. If not, it was at least better than being stabbed in the back while trying to run away.
Sunlight shone off of her glasses as she placed the Reiganzai she had been looking at into her mouth. She was going to need some of her Reiatsu back, and maybe the odd changes in her power that Kuro was talking about would be beneficial, if not, then she prayed that it would not to hinder her. If it did, she would not live long enough to get her revenge on the human. Despite her distrust of the man, he did seem to be genuinely innocent.
Tayte prepared herself to face off against the Arrancar. Her Zanpakuto was released and she was utilizing its ‘Black Lightning’ ability. The sunlight’s reflection prevented anyone from seeing her bright blue eyes. As Tayte took her stance, her clothes and hair began flapping wildly because of the Reiatsu emanating off of her. The wound on her right arm had long since stopped bleeding, and her tattoo could be seen spiraling up her arm since its sleeve had been torn off. This was also the arm that kept the Zanpakuto firmly in her grasp.
“Sorry, I must refuse as well.”

Anaklusmos' mind was an analytical mess at the moment. Her eyes were darting back and forth at the three, studying and taking notice. The male death god warned the others about her, as if they couldn't tell for themselves she was a threat, and then drew his zanpaukuto. She grinned - a Vice Captain, all the way out here in the huan world? Not unlikely, but it was a first for Ana. He would at least put up a good fight. The human seemed overeager for combat, a little zealous. Good - she liked that in her prey. And the female shinagami released her own zanpaukuto, coming to a battle stance. Interesting....three on one? A shame. They didn't stand a chance.
Anaklusmos cocked her head to the side, and the loud crack of it popping was audible to all of them. The malicious formation of teeth in her mouth was revieled as her lips parted in a smile.
"Sorry...confrontation's what I'm here for, Shinagami."
With that her hand reached down to her side, and her fingers enveloped the hilt of her blade. She slowly drew her zanpaukuto with her left hand, then brought it above her head, pointed at them as her other lithe hand touched the tip of the blade. She may have resembled a samurai right then, seeing as how her stance was one of their combat poses. Anaklusmos felt her reiatsu build up and gather around her in her eagerness for blood. She was ready to take them on, whichever of them moved at her first. Would it be the shinagami vice captain, or the lesser ones?

Seishuku watched as the two standing next to him activated their abilities. Kuro began to glow, and Naiyashi released her zanpakuto. Their response to Seishuku's command matched their actions. The Vice-Captain thought that Kuro might refuse to listen, but not the Third seat. Generally, third seats are not content with their position, and would like to move up. A good idea would be to listen to their higher ups; even though Seishuku did not directly have any say in a promotion, respect was still a vital asset. But to some extent, he respect how headstrong the both of them were. Seishuku listened to the Numeros deny the offer to leave, as expected.
All these people denying him was rather upsetting, as if he had lost all authority whatsoever. There was a time and place for that irritation, and this wasn't it. Ready Urufa? Without waiting for her response, he spoke again to the other two. "Just be careful then. This can end without any of us dieing, and that's how it will end. I know it may be hard to sit back and watch, but if this reaches a certain point, you might need to back off." Seishuku was suggesting that he may need to use Bankai to dispatch the Arrancar.
"All talk aside now.....let's get going!" Seishuku darted and jumped towards the Arrancar, his sword coming forward for a stab. This charge wasn't full on, as Seishuku did need to see a few things before he began fighting: how Naiyashi fought, and the Numeros fought, so he could adjust his style accordingly.

Well, lets get this party started then. Kuro thought as Seishuku launched himself at the Numeros. Kuro reached into his pocket and pulled out a small box. Running and propelling himself with small bursts of his power, he ran to a section of wall that was still standing, and used it as a launching pad of sorts to shoot himself straight up behind the Numeros. He then opened the box, letting about 30 nails begin to fall as he did. Then, he made a gun-like shape with his right hand and began shooting the nails toward the Numeros, hitting the head of the nails with each 'shot' of his fingers. The whole gun-charade really didn't do anything, it was for show. He made his landing gentler with a few well-placed explosions below him. The he pulled out a canister from his pocket. I'm glad I was prepared for this one. he thought, and waited for an opening. ((O.O.C.: Reiganzai count- 248,000/250,000))

Though it was true that respecting the word of a higher ranked Shinigami was a good way to get promoted, that was rarely on Tayte’s mind. The woman was more focused on testing her luck against a Numeros. Sadly, there were two others aiding her in battle so she wouldn’t be able to feel any form of satisfaction even if they managed to kill the Arrancar. She would have like to go at it alone, though she would not have stood a very good chance. In her mind, she was a more than capable Shinigami and a promotion was surely in her future. There was no need to turn and run with her tail in between her legs as a Vice-Captain and a human fought off the Numeros. No. That was definitely not going to happen. Still, she listened to what the Vice-Captain said. She had no idea what he meant when he put emphasize on the word ‘might’. She figured he was either going to pull some sort of, almighty, world ending attack out of his ass, or he was going to try and die nobly and heroically.
Regardless of what he planned to do in the future, things were certainly stirring up now. Seishuku made a simple attack and Kuro jumped at his opponent as well. Tayte decided that it had suddenly gotten way too crowded and would not dash in with a random attack. She’d keep her distance… for now. Tayte used the Part One Seal Kidô and bind the Numeros’s arms with spiritual fabric and iron shafts. She was fully aware that the Arrancar was more than capable of breaking out with little to no complications, however, that was not its intended use. Tayte figure that even though she could break out, it will take a moment or so. In that moment, she hoped that the one of the other two would be able to land a crippling hit. Unfortunately neither of them seemed to be doing anything greatly damaging to the Arrancar. Tayte then proceeded with an attack of her own. With a swing of her sword, she would slip a crescent shaped bolt of black lightning right under the higher ranked Shinigami as he jumped into the air. With that, she stuck her right arm off to its respective side and began twirling her blade for dramatic affect. She then sliced the air and brought it back down in front of her. She was ready and waiting to see how the Numeros handled their attacks.

Several things may have happened to Anaklusmos, but her reaction was fluid. She was seemingly motionless as fabric and iron shafts of reiatsu bound her around the torso, like wrapping a baby for bed. A slight grin was upon her, and she made sure her reiatsu tracking was good - the human was behind her somewhere as the Vice captain in front of her. Anaklusmos felt a small bit of reiatsu gather at her heels and she reacted as soon as the human launched the nails at her.
She jumped, in a sense - she went from vertical to horizontal in less than a second. Not that she could remain there with her hands tied up with iron, but it worked for her. The shinagami's stab just grazed her slightly, the smallest of scratches on her cheek and it tore into the fabric. It didn't cut all the way through, but the small V tear was visible as the nails Kuro shot at her exploded right below and around the both of them. Some hit their mark, landing against her and causing miniature explosions, maybe 7 of them that caused her to fall towards the right. And then it happened - somehow, the fact that the extra shinagami slashed at her was not in her calculations. She revised her strategy - she let out a burst of her own energy to shattered the iron and fabrics.
Something burned into the left side of her face, her mask. It felt like holding a large match into raw skin. This wasn't like most zanpauku-to, the cold steel absent and replaced by the odd blade. It could have been worse - if she hadn't noticed a few seconds earler then it would have burned farther into her face.
But now it was her turn. Still in mid air, Anaklusmos let her hand stretch out to the ground, her right hand's nail digging into the soil. Her body suddenly went rigid straight up, then melted like butter. Again, vertical became horizontal and her foot lashed out, her left foot aimed for Seishuku's chest. As she did her hand left the ground, only to try and make friends with Tayte's face, curled into a small fist. She wouldn't attack the human yet, she was curious as to how these death gods would retaliate.

Seishuku watched his sword graze the Arrancar, and gave himself a slight praise. It wouldn't be enough to graze her the whole time, but at least he knew how agile she was. The Vice-Captain had overestimated the effect of 3 on1, and perhaps this battle would be much longer and more painful than previously expected. Maybe he would have to release his shikai in order to kill or at least disable the mighty Numeros.
Now Kuro's attack came through from the bottom, as nails flew everywhere around Seishuku and the Arrancar. A few hit the Arrancar, while they narrowly missed Seishuku. Kuro's control was phenomenal, and the Numeros staggered at the hits. Now the 3rd seat slashed forward at the enemy's face, as her zanpakuto began to slice through her face. The Arrancar took note and avoided a greater harm, and now all three of the assailants were left hanging in the air, vulnerable.
Seishuku watched as she planted her hand down into the earth, most likely preparing for a strong and unbalanced attack. He assumed right, as he watched the Arrancar's foot rise up towards Seishuku's chest. As unfortunate as it was, Seishuku didn't have the ability to react fast enough to do anything. He brought his arms up to cushion the blow, but they only reeached his waist as the kick landed square in the middle of the Vice-Captain's chest. He coughed as the wind was knocked out of him, and he was sent flying straight backwards.
Shit! He thought as he looked back to see the small building he was accelerating towards. It was to no avail though, as Seishuku couldn't find the position to prevent the impact. The impact hit him hard, and the hole in the house showed it. He didn't go all the way through, just hitting the building and then falling down to the earth. The sword planted itself in the ground to support the weight of its owner. It trembled as its master's confidence did. Seishuku couldn't beilieve that he was so weak, and that he had been blaming his squad the whole time. He felt bad about leaving the other two to fend for themselves, but he needed to recooperate for a bit.

Kuro slightly envied the Shinigami and their Swords. His ability never really allowed for style. Mostly dealing with direct damage or shrapnel, he couldn't ever get all up in his foe's face. Oh well he thought.
Then he saw Seishuku fly into a wall, and land not-too gracefully. "Oooooo......." Kuro winced sympathetically, and reached into his knapsack and pulled out his emergency power packet. It was composed of about 100 Reiganzai, and was reserved for recharging someones batteries. Using his speed technique (accenting his steps with a mini conflagration under his feet as needed), he ran over to his fallen ally and helped him to his feet. "Here, eat these" he told his newest ally. "I promise that'll make you loads stronger." And, with a grin, he turned toward the Arrancar. Now lets show these 'Gods of Death' the power of the living! he thought to himself, and accessed that section of himeslf that extended to his Reiganzai.
Instantly, Explosions of level 5 intensity began buffeting the Numeros (A level five explosion is about equivalent to a stick of dynamite). Above and to the sides of the Arrancar Kuro unleashed his power. Then, while still covering this form of attack, he ran towards Anaklusmos, shouting "Take this, you Hollow Bitch!" Picking up a crowbar on the way, Kuro began swinging at her, using Reiganzai to increase the power behind his swings.

This was not good. First, a fellow Shinigami took a direct kick from a Numeros, and now she was being targeted. And, to make things worse, watching Seishuku take the hit distracted the usually flexible and speedy woman from her evading attack aimed at her. As she heard something soaring through the air towards her direction she took her eyes of the injured man and turned back to her own impending doom. A fist and managed to stretch out to connect with her face, however, Tayte was not going to go down without dealing a little damage herself. She brought her sword up and placed it in between her and her opponent’s fist. As the Arrancar’s fist passed through her Zanpakuto, her hand would be electrocuted from the inside out, and leave a nasty burn mark wherever her blade touched.
However, this wasn’t exactly perfect for the female Shinigami. Tayte ended up taking a direct hit as well. Turning her head slightly, she took the punch to the left cheek and was sent blasting through the air, spinning rapidly as she did. She was heading towards a decently sized house, but because of her uncontrollable rotation, there was nothing she could do to eliminate or at least reduce the damage she would take upon impact.
Tayte broke through the wall of the house, destroying an entire living with dust, debris, and a lot of wind. She landed on the opposite wall with a loud roaring thud and a tiny crater where she hit. Fortunately for the inhabitants, they weren’t there, but would come home to a destroyed living room. Tayte was thoroughly pissed off. Determination filled in her bright blue eyes, which could be seen clearly since she had lost her glasses in the midst of the attack. No matter, they were only for show. The woman rose up to her feet, despite the searing pain coursing through her body. She held the hilt of her Zanpakuto tightly. Ran out of the house, through the hole she had personally placed there, and headed straight for her target, the Arrancar. With her free hand, she dug into her pocket and found her self eating her third Reiganzai. She then hopped into the air while she was still several dozen feet from her opponent, she jumped on the side of a nearby house and began running horizontally, nearing the Numeros with ever step. Then, jumping off her last house, she did a side flip. Swinging twice, she sent two more crescent shaped blasts of black electricity towards the supped up Hallow. She was still in mid-air and stood horizontally as she watched her attack fly towards its intended target. She gripped the hilt of her blade tightly with both hands and stood vertically within seconds. Though, she was vertical, she was upside-down.

A smile spread upon her face like butter on toast as he attacks hit. Or, her first hit. Seeing the one shinagami flying was not enough to subdued the feelings of her skin burning on the inside and tingling with shock as her fist sailed through the second's blade and connected with her face. She looked at her hand-burned. Odd, but she shook her hand to the side, flexing her fingers. Still usable. Feeling the satisfaction of her blows inflicting bodily harm into the Shinagami, she crouched down, prepared to spring like a tiger in the fields of zebra.
Her eyes tracked the second Shinagami as she ate something and leapt up into the air. She launched herself upon the buildings and ran horzontal. Anaklusmos remained crouched, her eyes following her like feline orbs. She might have kept looking if she didn't suddenly sense something behind her. Utilizing Sonido, she reapeared several feet from her original location and explosions resounded from her preivous hunting spot. Close call...and now she saw the human fool charging her with a crowbar, the shinagami above her. She had a split second to think before her lightning shards slammed into her and the human reached her.
She moved to the left a step, the black lightning scorching the ground in a sudden burst. The second blow wasn't dodged as easily - she sidestepped backwards, as if in a dance, and the lightning skimmed her hand, the same one that was burned before. Ana winced up slightly - it hurt. She was lucky to have dodged them for the most part.
Now to deal with the human. Anaklusmos's hand shot up, and the crowbar was caught between her fingers. Her hand moved back slightly, but it stopped nonetheless. Ana's eys were dancing back and forth between the humans.
"Shocked? A straightforward attack like that won't work. My turn."
She seemed to be singing the last part as her fingers let go of the crowbar and shot out, to grab his arm as her other leg came forth in a roundhouse, to knock the poor human for a loop. She then turned her attention to the shinagami, who was now vertical upon the earth with her blade. Anaklusmos held out her hand simply, finger flexed as if to flick a bug. Another grin. She flicked 4 times, shooting concentrated shots of reiatsu - balas. The were fast, and powerful - Ana wanted to see if she could dodge the attacks.
