[ooc: Minoru arrives after Taka's betrayal in the living world.]



Minoru's battle worn form wandered through the door of squad 13 barracks. Upon arriving within Soul Society a hell butterfly had arrived with a message of a meeting for Captains and Lt's. This'll be the perfect chance to report... Minoru thought to himself as he began a slow shunpo towards the 13th division. Minoru knew he still had some pretty bad injuries from earlier, my ribs were definately in bad condition as breathing was extremely painful and the taste of copper was in my mouth. In Minoru's left hand was an Lt. badge, the one that had belonged to Taka, Minoru's hands were going white due to the hard grip he held it with. In his right was his bloodied zanpakuto that he hadn't taken the time to sheath.

Arriving at the 13th division Minoru opened the door and took a shaky step inside before falling against the wall. Minoru's breath was coming out in short gasp's as he was struggling to breath properly. If one were to look under Minoru's make shift bandages they would see a grouping of three 3.5" wide puncture wounds that had just missed major organs. As Minoru struggled to stand he began to try and speak, Captains... I have grave news..... Minoru slumped forward as he fell to the ground, the Lt. Badge in his hand came loose and clattered to the ground as did his zanpakuto. As the second squads Lt struggled to stand once again blood was evidently dripping down his body to the floor.He... betrayed us... he even turned his blade on me when I attacked the female... Was all that could be heard between Minoru's ragged breathing.

While Minoru tried to report what had happened his mind was catching up to things, the emotional turmoil the event had caused finally struck Minoru as he once again dropped to the ground. With his head hung low Minoru's emotions took over and he let out a long pained scream before his breathing started coming in short quick gasps for air. Why....why did I have to go through this....WHY!! Minoru questioned no one but himself... as Minoru's emotions once again rocked through him winds began tearing up a 1 meter diameter around him. Fueled by Minoru's uncontrolled emotion the winds started tearing medium sized lacerations in Minoru's skin.ARRRGGGG! Minoru once again slumped forward as blood began pooling beneath him.

As Nao collapes" who betrayed us?." I move to nao who is on the florr"amaya,kieran I think we need to heal him right away. He doesn't look like he can be moved." I begin healing kido that all captains know and are profecient in. "why are so many turning the backs to us?" I ask but I am tio focused on saving and healing nao

On seeing minoru battle damage form and collapse and hearing what he said i rush to his side to help tazuma with healing him and i ask him. "her who this your talking about minoru. And what happen to you it looks like you went 12 rounds with a angry bear. And we better get a 4th division member here to check minoru over."

Minoru faintly heard Captain Tazuma's voice beside him as he felt himself being healed slowly. Although Minoru knew his worse wounds would not be healed until he mentioned them Minoru grabbed his zanpakuto and used it to support himself as he stood once again. Minoru's breathing seemed slightly calmer but that seemed to be the only improvement. In the long black/silver haired shinigami's eyes it could be seen that he was near the breaking point.

Slowly Minoru gathered his voice as he turned so his back was against the wall. The light now falling properly on Minoru it could be seen that his black/silver hair was matted with his own blood. Minoru's jade green/gold eyes seemed dull and void of the fight Minoru normally had in them. His shihakushō was torn from battle, the upper half completely missing and the hakama in tatters.

Now that Minoru had a moments rest he felt he would be able to speak easier. Captains... Takami Kawamaru has betrayed us... Minoru's voice was dull, though it could be told he was fighting back any emotion within him currently. We had been sent with Lt Sato Mutsuhito and some men from our squads to investigate a possible arrancar reiatsu signature... Minoru's breathing once again picked up its pace as he began coughing roughly, blood splattering on the ground infront of him as he did so. Damnit... Guess bankai twice in a fight is dumber than I thought...

Leaning his full weight against the wall Minoru tried to calm himself, and collect his thoughts. At this rate he felt he'd lose what control he currently had over himself, but he decided to continue on anyways. When we showed up we saw an arrancar fighting some weaker hollow, so of course we went to solve the matter... Minoru took a pause in his speech as he begun coughing once again, his zanpakuto's support the only thing keeping him on his feet.

As yet another captain question Minoru he began to once again recite his tale. When we approached the arrancar things broke out into a fight, even now I feel that he held back... With a loud drawn out sigh Minoru curled his left hand into a fist and smashed it backwards into the wall. Doing this Minoru continued on, In the end the fight was harsh either way, after a full incantation of hado #63 I had attacked the arrancar as he fired what I believe was a Gran Rey... but it was immensely weaker than it should have been..

Minoru continued on in a tone-less voice, telling the Captains everything that had happened. Including finding that the male arrancar was in fact the 5th Espada. By the time Minoru had actually reached the point of Taka's betrayal his anger was burning from within causing his reiatsu to kick up winds in the room. Realizing this Minoru tried to reign himself in as he spoke once again. A female arrancar... the one that had attacked Captain Amaya once before... My glance shifted in her direction, I was unsure of how she would react to what I said next. Showed up near what I thought was the end of the battle, she spoke to each of us in turn including the Espada Veloz before she turned her attention to..him... Minoru practically spat out the word 'him'

He stopped for a brief moment to recollect his memories, around this point they became hazy. At that point... my anger had taken hold and I lashed out at the female when Takami had shunpo'ed infront of me before adding this.. Minoru point to a fresh scar across his chest. After that I assume not much happened because Lt. Sato had the chance to heal me with his zanpakuto. That was when yet another fight broke out, even though it was more centered around myself and Veloz... Deciding to cut his report there before he lost control Minoru allowed himself to slump down the wall, and sit on the ground where he would no longer need to support his weight.

In his own opinion no matter what the Captains had to say Minoru had failed, and miserably at that. Why..... Everyone I become close to I lose....WHY!!! Minoru cried out mentally. Those closest to Minoru at the moment may see the tears now running down Minoru's face, he was at the edge of what he could hold back and soon his emotions would break loose.

Hollis turns to Tazuma as he mentions hunting down their Lts'. It sounds like a good way to pass the time and maybe even a bit fun as well.

"Hm. well i wouldn't wan to exert too much energy on such a trivial matter but, i suppose that would be fun. After all, they forfeited their lives the moment they became so weak.."


Captain Edwards says in his normal smooth yet somewhat monotone voice. He then continues to listen to the other captains speak until he is asked about the details of kawamaru's betrayal.


"Well..from what i observed a..."


Before Hollis can continue speaking, Lt.Minoru bursts through the door, riddled with blood and wounds. He can barely stand as he struggles to speak. Edwards quietly listens as the Lt speaks.He looks at his bloodied beaten body and his normal smirk begins to turn into a small grin but quickly recedes. He thinks about how his subordinates cunning, despite the fact that he allowed himself to be so easily manipulated by a woman.


Well, i suppose he learned a great bit in his time with my squad. Good for him, this shinigami's body is quite wounded. Hmph, but of course he failed to finish it. And even worse, he allowed himself to be swayed by the finite charms of the opposite sex. how droll...




As Minoru finishes explaining what happened there is a brief silence. Hollis awkwardly breaks it as he looks over at the 13th squad captain and says..


"Uh, yeah. what he said, that pretty much sums it up..."



Captain Edwards begins to grow a bit bored so he takes out a shiny red apple from his sleeve and begins to eat it to regain his energy.





"tastey..."


He udders to himself.

Zoran Zazaravitch appeared back in the Soul Society as he had left. The two gates parted and the light if the senkaimon flooded outward into the street. STepping out of the gate, he met another hell butterfly. The one he had taken with him to the world of the living dispersed, flying off into the sky. This second one..It had a message of sorts. He knew there was a meeting, but not where. It seems it was at the Squad thirteen barracks..How odd. These things usually occured at Squad one's area. Regardless, he intended to show up. His jacket was slightly burned, showing the ends of it being burnt off and traces of char covering the edges. His power was surpressed back down to a novice Captain's level with not a trace of hollow reishi in his body. Those Demons were too much trouble to bother with..Considering the time, the meeting was probably already underway. He would need to explain the circumstance of what occured when he got there. WIth a heavy sigh, he used a shunpo to vanish, leaving a trail of wind in his previous position where he stoood. Though, rather than going directly to Squad thirteen, he stopped by his own barracks at Squad nine.

Zoran Zazaravitch casually walked inside, any injury he had taken during the fight healed by his natural affinity in cell repair. Walking in, he greeted any of his squad that was up and about with a brief smile and the wave of his hand. Arriving back at his own quarters, the taicho of squad nine slided the door open, taking a few steps inside, then closing it behind him,. The bandages around his left-arm had been damage, causing the blood to drip from them and his arm to go under some slight pain. Unwrapping the cloth, Zoran Zazaravitch set it next to his body with the same bloodied cloth he had left there earlier. Though, it was all dry now. WIth his mahogany chester drawer already opened, he pulled out anither set of cloth bandages, setting it across his deformed arm and covering it from the shoulder to each finger tip in the white material. As before, blood soaked into it quicklyl,giving the white material a red colour in seconds..He truely hated this injury, but he had been cursed with it by his own powers. It was unfortunate, but there was nothing that could be done.

Zoran Zazazaravitch walked back outside, vanishing just as quickly as before to quickly manuver over toward the squad thirteen barracks,. In no time, he was at the gate. He could sense the spiritual power of several other captains inside as he slowly walked toward the room they had all been gathered in. Finally getting inside, he parted his lips, speaking out in his casually fatigued and laid-back tone as his eyes scavengered the room, looking around at each individual inside. He hadn't met any of them yetaside from casual passing from time-to-time, though, it wasn't exactly the best time for introductions with the events that had transpired as of late. " Aye, sorry if I'm late. There was an issue in the living world with some Demons. Really annoying creatures they are. Roughly both of them on par with Captains. I managed to beat one of them, but the second retreated and took the defeated one with it. Was a shame...Put forth all that effort for them to run away." He was lying of course, but no would know that, nor did he show any signs of it. It wasn't anything new for him to lie, as he did it to get out of work quite often in his past.

That was when Zoran noticed the injured shinigami in the room. His calmed crimson irises got a slightly more serious tone to them. CLearly something had happened, though he was unaware what. He thought it best to ask and explain a bit incase any of the Captains were unaware of his recent enlisting in the thirteen quort guard squads. " Seems the kid has been damaged pretty badly. Just what exactly happened? Just getting here, I'm a bit uninformed about this whole situation, or why the meeting was even called..Oh, and I'm the new taicho of squad nine, if any of you were wondering. Name is Zoran Zazaravitch."

The 11th lt. badge flown in the air, strapped to teh wrist of the man walking towards teh captains. Zeipher was pissed, hearing about all of this betrayal of two won shinigami, one he even considered a close friend. Reiatsu bursted off his body as he pulled it back in, trying to control his anger.

'he killed..many people..For a espada?!" i say raged squeezing Cheolpa.
"How can taka do this?!!" the rage coarsing throughout my body made me shake. The captains were thinking of chasing them down looking for them. Before entering the room i look down at Min, bloodied up and cut from teh Espada. My eyes wide. "taka..he couldn't have done this.." I thought to myself.
~calm down Gust, nothing is going to be good when you are thinking the way you are now~
Chelpa's words echoed in my head. i was raged, Traiing has allowed me to finally reach bankai, and i wanted to help anyway i can.
'Even though my captain is gone, i will represent 11th division."

Minoru's focus returned as a new captain and Lt. Zeipher showed up. Both seemed angry or upset about the newest development in some form. With a groggy voice Minoru tried to speak once again, Not just many people... everyone but MYSELF and SATO!... he killed every SINGLE shinigami from our three division that had been sent with us.. Minoru's breathing came in sharp breaths once again as the whole ordeal flashed through his mind once again. As the memories flashed through his mind Minoru lost control of his reiatsu, winds suddenly blowing in the room. The winds were centered around Minoru and jade/gold in color.

With a quick punch Minoru broke through the wall beside him as he spoke inbetween labored breaths... The worst of it though... is the male espada Veloz... F***ing TOYED WITH US.. The bastard... he never once tapped into his full power... It seemed Minoru was done speaking before he roared out EVEN THE FUCKERS GRAN REY CERO'S WERE WEAK!.. before anyone could question what he meant Minoru continued in a hushed whisper..Even though he used Gran Rey... they were maybe 50% stronger than his 'normal' cero... Minoru began gasping for breath as his breathing became more labored by his speaking. With an aggressive fit of coughs another small 11" diameter pool of blood was formed. Minoru's eyes closed and his body began to sag to the side as he gave up the fight to stay conscious.

Amaya watched her lieutinent come in through the door "Minoru..."She gasped moving over to him kneeling beside him. It was hard to do any healing spells with one hand but at the moment her dominate fighting hand was out of order. she still had yet to have any feeling in it as it is. Nether the less, she also helped her lieutinent. "Minour...you done well my friend...I am proud you stood your ground..."She commented to him soon letting tazzuma finish. She went to a wall where no one was standing. She simply punched the wall, leaving a good size carter "I can't believe she is doing this... I guess she loves getting under my skin huh? The female's Name is Colbolt Nanashi....She was my sister in my past life...All these years I had been searching for her, to see if she made it safely here, but i guess she wasn't as luckly as I, I guess. I first meet her when I was trainign my shinkai, since it seems hadikazuki is changing."She commented pulling her blody hand from the wall "She attacked me, which I didnt know who she was but i knew she didnt belong here..Somehow she mangaged to get here without being detected" She commented sighing "the battle was even, she is captain level for sure on the fact that somehow she and I couldn't land a hit on eachother...well soon I found that she had a vizard guard who was tazuma's lieutinent..It seems she is more bird like with wings and such...If you run into her, do not engage her...She is mine to kill, it is the least I can do for Annamarie."She Commented
