Washime smiled as he saw the impact but his expression quickly changed as he saw the arrancar was unhurt. “Well you were right about one thing…” the arrancar said to the captain “This certainly is up to you alone…” Washime kept his composure and swung round, slicing into a hollow that approached him from behind, then firing off another shot at one coming out of the rift, slicing it in two.
"Curse these hollows" He muttered to himself. He reverted Jonsokuya back to its usual look and sheathed it, watching the ongoing battle.

(( Please follow the posting order: Me, Nobdy, Galihan, fleeka, zetsumei, Kaju
Also I apologize for the lack of quality in this post, I have several tests over the next two days and am running on very little sleep.))
He had taken out his blades, Asmodeus was enfuriated, the fool has seemed so lost in his own thought that his talk and posturing had been lost in the shinigami’s silence. If there was one thing the Espada hated, it was being ignored. You wish to play this way fool, he thought to himself. Asmodeus’s mind began to race, his heart began to beat with a sudden vigor. It had been so long since he had been given a true fight, but he would not back down. Easy prey was fun and, but when Asmodeus was thusly tested, there would be no escape, no bandied words layering the silence and keeping at bay the swords of his prey. He had been insulted, and though it mattered little to him what such a weak rabbit cared in the face of himself, a grand wolf… he knew that this battle would be seen, would be spoken of. Asmodeus knew that he had to win, there was no other way.
A wave of reiatsu shot suddenly towards him and Asmodeus’s head turned quickly to find its source… but the crook of a shinigami had already headed for the hills. The espada grimaced as he was forced to use his sonido to quickly transport himself to safety a good meter from the paths impact. Asmodeus looked around him warily, his beady eyes in slits as they survived his surroundings for his opponent. He had already convinced himself he need not pay heed to the other shinigami, whom, he observed out of the corner of his eye… seemed to be battling with some oncoming hollows. Asmodeus shook his head in disgust, weaklings….
The thought vanished as he returned to the very real necessity at hand, finding that captain. Closing his eyes he searched for the reiatsu around him, he could sense it, his opponent was somewhere in the near vicinity… no doubt trying to sneak up. So the reiatsu wave had been a cover-up? A sneaky captain, he wouldn’t be afforded the same luck of having fooled Asmodeus twice.
“We can play cat and mouse all day, but I will not waste my time smoking you out of holes like a rat. Come out and fight…. like the man you claim to be.”
Clever was never good enough… not against him. Asmodeus was smug as he awaited the response, be it in the form of another attack or verbal. The fool had laughed but minutes before, how long could he hold his mirth with his own blood staring back at him? Not long, Asmodeus reckoned, not long at all.

It was cheep, and they both knew that. Kisho’s wave of energy had only distracted Asmodeus for a moment. This was Kisho’s stile of fighting, not the most glamours of ways, but it worked. Even so he knew that he would have to fight head on. This seeking around thing would only occupy Asmodeus for so long, and, as if reading his mind, Asmodeus yelled out.
“We can play cat and mouse all day, but I will not waste my time smoking you out of holes like a rat. Come out and fight…. like the man you claim to be.”
So much for that Kisho thought as he studded all that was going on. The view was bleak. It seamed as if Soul Society was at war. Why, now of all times had they chosen to attack? What good could they gain? They stood no chance if the commander general decided to join the brawl. If it had only been one then it could have been pushed aside as some rouge trying his luck. But instead there were two, perhaps more, and a horde of lesser hollows. Why? It was obvious that Asmodeus was enjoying this, that is if Kisho would stop hiding. There was something else going on, and Kisho was determined to find out what.
Flashing out from his hiding spot, Kisho took the first jab. Spinning one of his tonfas around, so that the longer end protruded out. Kisho attempted to run Asmodeus through. Rather than wate for his response, he took a few steps back, some of Asmodeus’ blood, be it from his attack or from the previous one that Asmodeus caused himself, splattered upon his caption’s robe. It took Kisho a second to realize what happened. The blood was burning holes through his robe. This could pose a problem. He now faced an opponent, that who’s blood was even dangerous. He would have to be careful not to let any of it reach his skin.
”So that’s how it is.” he stated coolly as he slowly moved to remove the robe. ”I’m guessing that your full of your self. After all your untouchable. Well I plan to hack you to pieces. I don’t care what other skills you may have. I’m going to remove you , and thin find out what all of you are doing here.” and with a flash of his wrist and a flutter of the robe flying off his shoulders, he vanished again but not to hide this time, this time was to fight.
Appearing over Asmodeus’ head kisho was upside down with on hand aimed down. ”Binding art number 4 Crawling Rope” and with that ropes sprang up to hold him down for the follow up. Now falling at an angle Kisho dropped his other hand so that the blade would make contact with Asmodeus’ ugly head. But what if it didn’t work?
What chance did he stand, here before him, or rather below him, was a figure bent on his dismise. ”Here we are again. it was Sokubakukyo and opening his eyes Kisho saw the familar place that was his soul. It was a simple warm place. It took upon the appearance of a fire lit reading room, one like the kind found in castles. All along the walls were bookcases lined with all sorts of books from all parts of the world. The bookcases came to meet a stone fireplace. Atop the fireplace was a wooden hearth with carvings of woodfolk running across its face. In the middle of the room stood two older looking velvet red chairs. Filling the space between them was a small, round coffee table. Resting on that table was a marble chessset, set up and ready for someone to take the first move. The fire cast an erie glow across the room, all of which seamed to be on edge. ”So that it would seem we are” Kisho took the opposite seat to Sokubakukyo. ”but this time I don’t think that I’m here to play chess.” A small whimper of a laugh escaped his lips. Sokubakukyo seemed so out of place here, and yet it seemed as if she was the foundation that held everything together. ”I can’t go into this fight with any doubts can I?” he questioned looking to her for an answer yet all all he found was a child’s hopeless face starring back at him. ”Of corse I can’t. But its not like I want to fight. I’m doing this to protect those around me, and if that means a chance to show off my power so be it. After all I’m a caption its my job to command respect from those around me, as well as remove any and all objects in my way.” He got no response from Sokubakukyo. She just starred at him. There was something he was missing, but what was it? There had to be some profound reason that she had called him here. It had been along time since his last visit. He did miss this place. After all the only times he came here was when he was in trouble. And indeed he was in trouble, if he was going to fight this monster then there had to be no doubts in his mind. Although he was not going at it alone. ”So I see you’ve figured it out. If we fight together then we will never lose. So trust in our power. as always she was wright. He had nothing to fear. Who cares if this crazy beast’s blood was about to scorch his skin. Kisho would remove him from existence.
As the world slowly faded back into color Kisho had found new resolve. He would kill Asmodeus. His blade would find its mark, and he would endure the pain that would follow. But it would only be a small nuisance, for he would be enduring it together with his best friend and ally,
Sokubakukyo

Tsuno watched as Captain Aijou released his zanpakuto, Kazekusabana, against the epsada. The blade was small, like a wakizashi similar to his own and Captain Kyuettaru's. He never witnessed captain Aijou in battle before, and decided it'd be good to study him as well as the enemy arrancar. Haybe he'd hearn a few things by the time they'd wear each other down.
You have no shame, do you, Tsuno? said the booming voice that belonged to his own zanpakuto, Lotomasa.
No,not really, But you know that so why are you deciding to choose now of all times to have a friendly chat?, the Squad 2 lieutenant thought back to his sword's sentient spirit. Can't you see I'm studying the enemy?
Hrrmph, you truely have no shame in stooping to such lowly measures just to achieve victory....
The mind is a greater weapon then fangs, it's what separates man from beast, so stop being so judgmental you lazy mutt!
Tsuno dropped the conversation with that. He wasn't getting along well with Lotomasa lately, and it was taking a toll on his ability to fight at his best. He'd need to pay close attention in order to spot any sort of flaw in the espada's form, a gap in his defense, a pattern in his movement, something that would allow for him to be able to stand a chance against him should the occasion call for it.He leaped into tree beside him, and sat in a crouch, his hand gripping the zanpakuto on his lower back in anticipation of the battle to come.

Just as suspected, the shinigami opposing him drew his blade. The motion was smooth and fast, obviously this man had, had some practice. Nevertheless, Zetsumei had been watching for this and raised his arm up to block the sealed blade. Hyo's zanpakuto connected with the espada's forearm harmlessly clanging off his hierro. The aforementioned shinigami jumped back to gain some distance from Dos and released his zanpakuto.
Looking on with a smirk, Zetsumei stood still as Hyo charged forward. A wind user. Dos took note of the wind encircling tip the jagged tip of Hyo's shikai. The captain stopped his charge as he neared the espada and swung his blade down. Bracing for impact, Zetsumei raised his arm and outstretched hand toward Aijou, palm facing the shinigami. The force of the attack and the wind generated by it made Zetsumeis robes and hair blow fiercely.
Although he showed no outward sign of alarm or distress, Dos could feel the sting the captains attack had left in his palm. Being the second strongest of the arrancar not born of noble lineage, for a shikai attack to even get his attention was impressive. He was not damaged, but rather intrigued by his opponent. Dos began thinking how fun it would be to push the shinigami to his limits before crushing him underfoot, as that would make his victory all the sweeter. But there is still the matter of that insect, he may prove troublesome if left unchecked. The espada went over in his mind and began thinking of ways with how to deal with him.
In the end, he decided the simplest way was best. With a wave of his hand, the previous mindless destruction of the lower hollows in the vicinity was halted as they began to streak towards Tsuno.
"Now it shall be just me and you shinigami. Your friends will not be able to help you."
Suddenly a tear in the sky above Zetsumei appeared and the arrancar inside the garganta reported that the mission was a success before disappearing again into the blackness of Hueco Mundo. Dos couldn't tell if Asmodeus had been given a similar message but knew that if not, it wouldn't be long before he would. Disappointed with having little time to play remaining, Zetsumei decided he would give Hyo a taste of true despair before leaving. Disappearing from sight once more, the espada's image appeared to be duplicating his last move wherein he threw a punch at Hyo. BUT , this was just an after image. Using his tremendous speed, Dos had already made his way behind the shinigami as the after image appeared in front . Hardening reiatsu onto his fist, Zetsumei let loose a barrage of bala attacks at the captains back.
Not waiting to see the results but confident that they had landed. Zetsumei vanished from sight, returning to view high above the battlefield before ripping a garganta open and returning home. Knowing that soul society would not be able to keep Uno from leaving with the soldiers amassed dos awaited his return. He wanted to speak with him and that Torre. It seemed that much had changed since his recent sabbatical.
(And thus i make my exit............................Until next time)

Hyo turned quickly, blocking most of the Bala, but was hit by one in the shoulder. He winced as the energy tore at his skin for a second before dissapearing. He was blown back about 10 feet from it. He watched as the espada left. He took a moment to ponder what this meant. It was a success? What could this mean?
Hyo gasped. This was just a distraction. From what he didn't know. He then rememberd Tsuno. He turned and withh a quick shunpo and a wave of his blade the hollows were slaughtered. He winced once more, as the shoulder that had been hit was his sword handling one. He would need to inform the other present captains to his theory. Though he knew they probably figured it out already. He turned to Tsuno, and his cheereful, humorous nature returned. "Are you alright?"
Hyo then looked towards the other direction in which a fight was taking place. "I must go help Kisho-dono, follow if you wish." He used a shunpo, then started running once he was close enough. No need to waste energy.
(if you didn't know, dono is usually used for someone of the same status, which is why he said Kisho-dono, they are both captains)

As the tonfa sped towards him Asmodeus gave his opponent a wry grin, did he not realize that an espada or anyone for that matter… who has seen battle in his years… would suspect such an attack after hiding? A simple thrust….. is easily parried by a simple block. The screech of blade on blade was a welcoming sound and Asmodeus licked his lips as his dagger met with his opponents blade. Shinigami… always thinking their pride and justice would protect them…. fools.
So that’s how it is.” he stated coolly as he slowly moved to remove the robe. ”I’m guessing that your full of your self. After all your untouchable. Well I plan to hack you to pieces. I don’t care what other skills you may have. I’m going to remove you , and thin find out what all of you are doing here.” and
It wasn’t vanity that led Asmodeus to cackle dryly at the idiots words, what he lacked in subtlety… the man seemed to make up for in ignorance. Fighting was a game, it was all percentages… chances… to have such faith, to have any faith….. especially with such odds. Idiocy, Asmodeus hissed in his mind. It almost went so far as too anger him. Asmodeus was still smiling though, he always tended to be…. it was because he always knew, that in the end, the serpent took the prize.
His opponent shouted something as ropes began to fall from the sky, Asmodeus barred his teeth and hissed, giving a quick glance to his opponent… showing the white hot fury in his eyes. The man clearly had no respect…
Asmodeus hardly had time to inhale as the ropes reached his feet, as such the breath of noxious brown gas he expelled was not nearly as affective as it could have been. Where the slow spreading acid would usually have eaten all in its path…. long ribbons of the partially eaten spirit-fibers draped themselves over his toes. His head was shaking, he would NOT be made a fool of some two-bit captain…. he hadn’t even made a move yet! All he had done was stand and dodge and defend, didn’t the man realize that he was only proving his own weakness? And yet it got under his skin… that damn shinigami pride… one day he’d show them all. Asmodeus jumped as he expelled the gas, landing on his feet around half a meter behind.
He hardly had time to react when the captain was on him again, the guy never quit. Asmodeus held up his arm this time, to block the blade, his arrancar armor more then enough to parry an unreleased blade. They met with a dull sound, the arm and the blade. Asmodeus’s face showed an unrestrained display of intense hatred… the man kept making him slip up, in his own ignorance the man was helping himself…. so angered had Asmodeus been that he could hardly defend himself in the constant onslaught.
Asmodeus turned his head with growing dismay, another shinigami.. he was performing poorly as it was…. had his ally fallen as well?
Without hesitation the espada flash stepped back as black began to grow all around him in little square tiles.
“We will finish this my friend, do not forget the name Asmodeus…. for it is the name of your number one fear, the name of your killer.” ((I’m sorry about this exit and the length of time it took, I hope to rp with some of you guys in spring break coming up…. I am leaving on a trip until Wednesday and I didn’t think it fair to keep you guys waiting, I’m terribly sorry about the poor quality and the length of time it took me to write this, I have excuses but I’ll spare you. Thanks for indulging me, heres to hoping for some future battles between us!”[/b]

Kisho’s blade made contact but Asmodeus barely moved. But he was losing his touch, slowly Asmodeus was slipping up. Apparently he was used to those who would stand eye to eye and fight like a wild man, if that’s what he wants he should look to 11th. But the fun was short lived, for Hyo-dono was headed this way. It would seem as if their opponent had fled, only leading to his doubts as why they were here.
Asmodeus had noticed Hyo as well, and with a flash he steeped back and attempted to flee. ”We will finish this my friend, do not forget the name Asmodeus… for it is the name of your number one fear, the name of your killer.”
Kisho could only think of one thing in response. ”That may be so. You may be my killer but I will take you down with me.” and with that Asmodeus vanished. But Kisho didn’t have long to ponder it for Hyo was soon upon him. ”Something very odd is going on, and I intend to get to the bottom of this.” he paused for a moment for both him and Hyo to catch their breath. ”Its looking as if there’s going to be a meeting. No rest for the weary. You can stay here and try to figure something out if you wish but I’m headed back. There had to be a reason why they took the time and effort to come here.” Not bothering to move very fast Kisho headed back into the inner walls.
Something was indeed amiss although what, Kisho had no idea. He only hoped that the others knew more than he did.

As the espada waved his hand, all the mindless hollows charged at Tsuno with reckless abandon.
"Crap, so he's smarter than I imagined. Too bad this will be all over in an instant! Whistle, Lotomasa!"
He drew the short blade and it transformed into a pair of nunchaku with a sickle blade on each end.
Hell, we don' need to think in order to kill these weaklings! Let us ravage the battlefield together! He called out to his zanpakuto, his energy flaring like someone poured gasoline on a smoldering fire.
He began to spin the weapon and suddenly the chain extended, the bladed end being spun about ripping though several hollows that got too close to him. There were still many more, so he simply leaped skyward and began spinning both ends in a circle around him. Multiple hollows were either slaughtered or maimed by the cyclone of steel being twirled around the vice-captain until Captain Aijou stepped in. He defeated all the remaining hollows with a single stroke of his blade, an impressive display of power but unnecessary seeing as the lieutenant was doing well on his own.
"Are you alright?" he asked, cheerfully.
"Yes, sir. You had no need to waste your energy on me, I could have handled them easily." Tsuno replied with a sigh.
"I must go help Kisho-dono, follow if you wish." Hyo added and hurried off towards Captain Kyuettaru.
As if he'd actually asked if the lieutenant of Squad Two was going to help out his own captain, of course he wouldn't. He could tell his captain was having fun fighting his opponent, and didn't want to be interrupted, but it's not like he could openly state that to the captain of another squad. He simply nodded and followed, resealing his zanpakuto and sheathing the blade on his back, and gave a silent prayer that his captain would be alright.
Before they arrived, Tsuno sensed that the other Espada had also made a retreat. Obviously whatever they were here to do, their mission was a success. The lieutenant changed his course and proceeded to follow his captain towards the Seireitei. They didn't need to stick around, it wasn't the job of Squad Two to clean up these messes. He'd probobly have to check into the Squad Four barracks to have his arm looked at, now the battle was over the pain was really starting to set in, perhaps it was a bit fractured and he didn't realize it until now.

Hyo nodded to Kisho. After the infiltration of two espada there would definitly be a meeting. He slowly made his way to his own HQ. Something big was gonna happen, and the 5th squad needed to start putting up defenses before anything happened. This was apparently a distraction, but to what. He sighed. He would find out later surely. He shunpo'd to his HQ, and would be there till ameeting was issued.
(Very short, just getting my guy outta there)
