Kessin was being excluded from the training that was going on beneath the manga shop, courtesy of Ryo. Not only that but Ryo ignored an audience request. Both of these coupled with the fact that one of the humans under Ryo's guidance was slain was beginning to pile on agitation for the elder. Taking walks usually helped when drinking did not so he went for a walk through the park just after 4 in the morning.
His already pale complexion seemed slightly paler than normal and his wise appearance was replaced with one of annoyance. His zanpakuto's spirit had been, for sometime now, struggling to be released once more into the world...something Zakura was trying to avoid as long as he could but it was wearing him down...it was only a matter of time. He sat down on a familiar bench underneath a lamp which illuminated the area around him. He pulled a cigarrette out of his pack from his jacket as well as a lighter and a flask of whiskey. He lit the cancer stick, took a drag then chased it down with a swig from the small metal container. His mind was racing, calculating his options and next moves but he was also alert to his surroundings...he hadn't survived as long as he has by just blindly going places without his guard up.

Genno was hiding under his newly customized gigai. As he spotted Zakura, he walked over to him, grabbing out the packet of red Pall Malls from his shirt pocket, sticking the ciggarette into his mouth. He stopped infront of Zakura, 'Hey there buddy, you have a light?' he asked, a smile reached his face, as with one finger lowered the glasses that were on his face. 'Something troubling you?' Genno was just a spectator, just wanting to see what happens in the game, but if he was to get involved he must take action. But for now it was all stand back and watch, and Genno wanted to know what was happening. But that might be hard in this sittuation. You mind if i take a seat my friend?' once he would sit down he would pull out a can of Jim Beam he had been saving. Taking a sip out of that made him feel better. |

Kessin eyed the stranger's face. "It's a public bench." He would say as he lit the guy's cigarette. He didn't recognize him but the fact that he could see Kessin raised suspicion. There were only two possibilities...he was yet another spiritually aware human or he was in a gigai. He would keep his thoughts to himself and hidden. He took another swig from his flask.
"I must have caught the flu or something." Kessin would lie to the man next to him. "I'm not feeling well....what brings you out here by the way? Its pretty early in the morning. Don't you have work today?" Idle chit-chat about seemingly nothing was an effective method of gaining information about someone or something. People gave off tells whilst they talked and this was something Kessin was a master of picking up on due to his time as 10th division captain.

It was early in the morning, as usual, when Maho was taking a small little walk in the park. The night before, she couldn't really get much sleep. Her superior, Kuro Akuma, had been gone for the past few days and Maho had been left around to do nothing but monitor Karakura. She wondered why he didn't want her to go with him where ever he was going. She was his body guard after all. It just bugged the poor female vizard in so many ways. With Kuro gone, Maho was left with no one to really talk to. Well, it wasn't as if she was the most talkative person in the world. The only person who she would talk to almost all of the time was her superior, but he left her all alone. Now it would have seemed that taking silent walks anywhere would be fine.
With her eyes closed shut, and quiet footsteps, Maho strolled down the side walk of the park trying to find inner peace in the early morning. Everything was invisible to her; The trees, grass, objects, and even people. She didn't even notice the two men who were talking on the bench as she walked passed them very slowly.

Genno sat down as his cigarette was alight. His face glowed orange around his face, as little detail was given, is he was to come out from his gigai it would really matter too much. But since the whole thing at the manga shop, it wouldn't work well if he did reveal himself to Zakura. And he could see the suspicion in Zakuras eyes. But in some way he had to do something to find out what Ryo is up to. He might be able to tell Jin, since he does need to repay him from saving his life back at the high school. But then again that wouldn't satisfie him. 'I know who you are Zakura...' he said as he took the cig away from his lips and exhaled the smoke from his insides. 'It wouldn't suprise me if you forgot who i was... But i have something rather important to tell you... It involves some one very close to you...' of course he was bluffing, but how could Zakura know. At this point someone else was spotted walking past them, as if she was sleep walking... as he turned to Zakura, he told him that the information he has can wait. 'Hey are you alright?' he said as he got up from the bench, and looked at the person. He held the cig between his middle and index fingers, as he breathed the smoke from out of his nose, so he would avoid blowing smoke into an innocent persons face. |

Kessin's gaze was still transfixed on the stranger in front of him, piercing through him as if he were transparent. He listened carefully to what the guy just said about not being surprised if he forgot who he was. Kessin's mind, though in its chaotic state, was still a bear trap. He never forgot a person once he met him or her. "Information? On someone close to me? Though it was a nice try, did you think that intimidation work on me?" Kessin would stay seated. "You may know my name but you know nothing about me." Those that were close to Kessin have been dead for over 200 years now. He caught the guy's bluff. Kessin would keep that fact to himself and leave this guy guessing.
"You may step out of your gigai at anytime by the way." The stranger's own wording confirmed Kessin's suspicion. He was as sharp as ever. "So, tell me what info you have..." He was cut off by the sight of a woman walking past, seemingly in another world. "I suppose this is a friend of yours then stranger?" He would say to him quizzically.

Everything was going just fine for Maho as she walked down the park's sidewalk. Her soul was at peace, minus the constant roaring that her inner hollow was doing to get her attention. Her muscles weren't as tense as they usually were, and for a few seconds it actually looked as if she was smiling. Her black, almost dark blue, hair blew gently in the wind with each step she took. It had been a while since Maho was so calm. Most of time she was uptight about everything. If something posed a threat to Kuro, who was the head elder, then she would cut it very quickly. She was actually known in the whole Vizard Corporation to be as ruthless as the assassins. When it came to Kuro Akuma, Maho held no mercy for a single soul. She didn't care if she had even the slightest of friendships with that person; She would kill them within a single second. Her entire demeanor was based on killing, but now it was like she was a completely different person.
As the female vizard passed by the two unknown men, she didn't pay any attention to them. She was, after all, in her own world. It didn't even occur to her that one of the two men said something to her, or that their attention was directed towards her. Well, that was until she actually walked into the one that asked her a question. She quickly snapped back into her old self and her cold gaze and demeanor returned. Her icy blue eyes met the man's, sending him dangerous signals. You could say this was some sort of greeting. Maho didn't even open her mouth. She lifted her hand and snatched the cigarette from the man's hands. Taking it into her right hand, Maho closed her palm and crumbled up the heated 'cancer stick'. Opening her hand, she let the pieces fall to the ground in disgust, with an added sneer. Maho did all of this while still keeping eye contact with the man. Talk about a people person.

Just from that one action, his eyes transfixed on the visard, as the embers and the ashes, dropped to the ground without a sound. Genno knew that revealing himself from his gigai would get him in trouble, as immanently he would know that Zakura would attack him. Genno didn't like it at all when people disturbed his time of relaxation. She was lucky he wasn't smoking a cigar. But then again a perfectly good packet of Pall Malls, now destroyed. The gigai he wore was created bythe one and only Ryo Hasaki, the Wildfire. This gigai allowed him to use kidou. It was only luck that from Gennos bluffing got Zakura to realize he was in a gigai. Since the gigai functions as a normal gigai but seals all spiritual energy inside the gigai rendering it impossible to sense the user. 'Now now... That wasn't nice...' as he said this, he would wipe his mouth, what she didn't notice is that he placed a pill in his mouth. And so the soul seperated from the gigai without Maho knowing he was anything of the sort. Genno wrapped his hands in his scarf, flinging the scarf backwards, then forwards to then wrap around Maho in his quick actions. Whilst this happened Genno brought forth his zanpakuto. He took no chances as from the second he took out his Zanpakuto, it had preofromed into Shikai status. Gennos face was close up to Maho know. And she would soon relize the odd sense from him. Genno activated his passive ability, The Eye of Truth. As his left eye started to glow blue. She would also relieze kanji written on his left eye. What was this? If she wasn't too much in shock, she would see that what was on his eye was infomation... On her to be exact. Maho wouldn't be able to do anything from the reiatsu he was leaking out in rage. 'Nice to meet you Maho Mitsuki... Personal Enforcer of the Visards.... Former 7th Division Lt.... Daughter to a murderd mother... He then unwrapped her, as he then lowered his sword, and placed it back where it should be. He wrapped the scarf back around his neck. And still from the darkness he couldn't been seen, but then again from the noises he had made, only Zakura could guess who it was. 'I have no reason to fight you Zakura... Unless pulled into something... I wouldn't be surprised if you don't remember me, since i did grow up.... Satsu is what i was called... And i would be honored if you don't let that name go too far, i trust that Clyde hasn't either... If you want to know why i barged in like that at the manga shop... I was making up my Former Masters mind in what to do, he wasn't all too good with choices... He trusts in Nonko for crying out loud, and what do you think that could do to the alliance of the Quincys that he holds...' He said as he kept Maho in view. Lighting up another Pall Mall, but this time with a box of matches he kept under his scarf. 'I am mearly a spectator... Pushing people in directions, leading them and setting them onto a path. But now... I just watch... He turned around to see the Mod Soul Kei sit by a tree.
'It has been a while Master Satsu...'
'Quiet Kei... It's not the time nor the place to have a conversation... Some other time...
Kei didn't believe how much his master had changed, as he bowed his head and listened to him. 'My apologies... Now please can we calm down, and talk this over? Maho? Please sit down, and explain why you are here...' |

Zakura was thoroughly unimpressed but he remained seated for now. "I should have known it was you....my my you are jumpy these days. Whats the matter? Afraid of something are we?" He was beginning to toy with Genno through words. Kessin knew how fast this guy was as well as his strength and skill, he watched him fight a few times before he disappeared. He also now knew about his scarf which would prove useless against Zakura. The elder had an advantage...Genno knew nothing of his abilities. This would prove handy if this little encounter came to blows.
Kessin gave Genno an annoyed look. "You should just keep watching, instead of pushing your way into places, threatening people and taking hostages." He pinched the bridge of his nose before he continued. "What is this...a quest for power? Is that why you meddle in peoples affairs? I must say, it hasn't gotten you far....was alienating everyone you know worth it?" He looked at the girl. Genno was kind enough to let out her information...her name, what she was and who she worked for. It made his job all the much easier. He took note of her, then returned his stare to Genno.

Standing there, right in front of Genno, Maho wondered how she got into this mess. All she wanted was to go out for a nice relaxing walk, without having to worry about Kuro. For once she was at peace, but of course she could never have that. Maho was a vizard, associated with the most dangerous of men. Of course she would never be at peace. The female vizard didn't even ask to talk to anyone. That man just came up to her and started asking if everything was alright. Maho's anti-social self couldn't help but be very rude to him. He was the one who started being a butt to her in the first place. He brought a cigarette right in front of her. Maho hated smokers with a burning passion. It's a very long story as to why she does, though.
As Genno used his technique on her, Maho didn't move an inch. Her entire aura was screaming 'I'll kill you'. She kept her gaze on his eyes. She wasn't frightened, no, she was anything but scared. Maho never got close to anybody, physically or mentally, except for Kuro. For Genno to even not flinch from noticing her aura was amazing. When the man let her go, Maho didn't move at all. She wasn't breathing or anything. Her eyes were still staring at Genno directly. When he brought out another cigarette from his scarf, something went wrong inside of Maho. Perhaps he shouldn't have gone through her mind like that. There was some stuff in there that wasn't meant to be touched. Suddenly, the whites in her eyes turned black, and her icy blue eyes turned red. In an instant, one-fourth of the hollow masked covered Maho's face, and her reiatsu spiked up. With one quick movement, she snatched the pack of cigarettes, and the one cigarette itself from him. She then crushed it in her hands yet again, but this time she threw everything at Genno. With another swift movement, she wrapped her right hand around his neck.
Over the next few seconds, Maho's hollow mask was forming involuntarily. While this was happening, a creepy large grin grew on her face, which was very out of the ordinary. Looking at Zakura, she gave him a 'you're next' look. She left turned her gaze back to Genno.
"You know you shouldn't have done that. Especially to Maho of all people. Going through people's minds is just asking for trouble. You have no idea, do you?" A hollow-like voice came from her lips.

Genno looked at Zakura as he inhaled in his cancer stick. 'I never said anything about power did i? Because what i am saying makes perfect sense to me... I am just like the angel on your shoulder and the devil on the other, nudging you in the right direction... There is no power involved, just temptation, and persuasion. Of course i have you where i need you, that is no place at all... Genno said, as he smiled at Zakura, enjoying the last cig of the night until something was to happen. 'Zakura... Or should i call you Abanddon... I don't seek power, and it doesn't not seek me, i have my friends, and alies... Many in which you of course being a visard might know.... The only reason i did what i done at the manga shop was to nudge Ryo in the right direction... So tell me what did happen with Ryo, and Nanako and Kuro.... I am intrigued in what happened after i left...' he said alsmost getting jumpy excited in a way until something happenedjust right infront of his eyes. Genno was a rageful person, as he saw what she did and what was about to do. As Genno's reiatsu increased he didn't know himself what he was doing until he reached the point, where he was able to use his Bankai from sealed, without any commands. His Bankai had grown stronger even though he had only had for only a few months. 'I don't care what i do, don't you ever touch my things, Maho....' All of a sudden what he wore turned to a blood red colour. His hair stuck up from the amount of reiatsu. As Gennos eyes grew with evil intent. Whilst she grabbed tightly onto his neck, he listened what the hollow within had to say, as just before the end of the speach, a wolfs head had transfigered from the chest, still attached the wolf directed it's teeth to Maho. Gennos eyes and smile turned sinister as if something had changed inside him. His twisted mind, and everything about him just felt weirdly off. As he would grab Mahos hand and twist it backwards, whilst he did that the other hand was holding onto his zanpakuto, a long chain with a spear head. As he grabbed the chain and wrapped Maho in it so she couldn't escape, she wouldn't be able to move with the amount of reiatsu... Reiatsu: 210 + 50 = 260
Attack: 230 + 50 + 15 = 295
Speed: 460 + 50 + 15 = 525
Weapon Skill: 310 + 25 + 50 = 385 |

The vizard Elder's reitsu would fill the area his pressure primarily focused onto the two who had began fighting. He would force them both to their knee's as he slowly approached from a short distance away. He was in his shinigami robes, something you would rarely see him in anymore, and as he drew near he would give a simple nod to Zakura knowing that his allegiance was with Ryo. Stopping just in front of Genno and Maho he would say, "Now now you two, if you cant play nice dont play at all.." Turning his full attention to Genno now Kuro would kneel next to him before saying, "Now what is it you want now? I see you a lot now, what is it you're looking for?"
He knew Maho had a short temper for one and she had little control over her inner hollow as it was. Genno had to have done something to piss her off what was in control of her body obviously was not her, looking towards her he would say. "You know Im gonna have Maho put you in your place soon.. Until then I dont wanna see you try to take control of her anymore, otherwise I'll destroy your vessil completely got it?" He hoped that the inner hollow would catch what he said and let Maho back in control, he'd hate to have to possibly damage his pupil after all.

Without even a care in the world, Maho's hollow let Genno think that he was in control. It was, of course, just trying to provoke the young man. It honestly didn't give a crap about what happened to Maho. If she died, then that would be quite the achievement. It wanted her to suffer, for some reason. The only sound that could be heard her the strange hollow, was the sound of a dark chuckle. Her eyes showed some sort of joy in them that couldn't be expressed. It was strange, because there was nothing funny or fun to laugh about.
"Foolish--", it was cut off briefly because of the interruption by Kuro. If Maho were herself, she would be expressing her joy by giving him a look respect. But she wasn't herself. When his reiatsu knocked her down to her feet, the hollows chuckle became louder. He was trying to intimidate the creature from another world. That made it laugh uncontrollably. "You know this girl is weak. She can't even protect herself from me. That is pretty sad, so sad. Who says I'm going to listen to you? I could care less of what happens to Maho. She can die and I can take over. Wouldn't you like that? She'll actually be of some use to you then!" The hollow spoke in a high pitched giggle. "Go ahead, kill her..." He added.

Kuro smirked as he listend to the ignorant words of Maho's inner hollow. Standing up he would walk towards the him, reaching down with his left hand he would grab the throat of the demon then raise him into the air. Looking into the beast eyes Kuro would then say, " You seem to misunderstand what Im saying you mindless beast.. If I destroy the vessel there will be nothing for you to control. Do you not understand that your fate is in my hands now? I did you not realize that my spirtual pressure alone is enough to crush you? You stand little chance against me beast, I've conqured your kind.. Thats why I have no random outburst from my inner hollow now bring Maho back, or face obliteration.."
Kuro's grip on Maho's neck was gradually begin to increase cutting the air flow to the brain short. He was in no mood to deal with the lack of respect from a loud mouth hollow, specially since he had pretty much tamed and dominated his.

After did his little speech, Maho's inner hollow couldn't help but let out a chuckle. As the seconds passed by, it escalated to a loud laugh. Underneath the hollow's mask, there was a large grin plastered on Maho's face. If Kuro couldn't see what was underneath that mask, then the hollow's eyes would surely tell it all. He was finding everything that the vizard was telling him funny. At this point it would be pretty safe to say that he didn't care about what happened to Maho or anything. As the grip grew stronger around her neck, the laugh became louder and more maniacal.
With a very raspy voice, the hollow spoke. "No, I don't think you don't understand quite well. Does it seem like I care about the girl? She's taking up air, space, and time in this world. It would be better if she vanished, don't you think so? So just quit being such a nice guy and just end it. End her pathetic life!" The look in his eyes grew dangerous. He lifted up Maho's hand, which was holding a senbon in it. The hollow then took aim and attempted to throw it at Kuro's throat. "Before I end yours!" He began to laugh again.

Kuro would sigh as the hollow attempted to attack, at this point he was being difficult for no reason. Kuro would quickly raise his right hand and send a fully powered punch to Maho's chin. His speed would prove to be way faster than that of his enforcer which easily proved that Kuro was far supiror than his counter part. As the punch connected Kuro would let go as it was sure to send the beast plummiting back from the force of the attack. As he did so he would say, " Smart ass huh? Guess I'll just beat the hell out of you until Maho finds it within herself to control you. No telling how long that will take so let me teach you a real lesson in power."
He knew he would probably damage his enforcers body, but pain would be something she would have to endure a lot anyways, considering his physical style of training which he would harshly regulate on. He would also teach her mental akills aswell, something as simple as controlling your inner hollow was hardly a problem for Kuro. Obviously his protige had much work to achieve before she would gain her respect amongst the best, Kuro would enjoy watching her rise to the top, but of course the master wouldnt teach all his tricks.

A dark chuckle escaped the mouth of the beast as he got hit by Kuro's ruthless punch. With the force of that attack, the hollow's mask cracked in the chin area. All he did was laugh at everything. In mid-air, he quickly recoved by forming up the broken part of the hollow's mask. The beast didn't exactly have one of the most graceful of landings. He was sent straight into the ground, into a few bushes. But he didn't let that get to him. As soon as he landed, the hollow quickly shot back up and drew out Maho's katana. Without a seconds thought, he charged towards the elder.
"Ha! You're just like her! Weak on the inside and out! Don't have it in you to kill her. I know you've killed just because you wanted to. Why won't you destroy her? She's nothing?! So do it right now!" The hollow ordered Kuro. As soon as he got close enough to the elder, the beast began to slash at him over and over. Provoking him to end it all. What was up with this hollow? Normally they would try to keep their hosts alive, but this one just wanted Maho dead.

Watching as the hollow got up and charged forward back towards Kuro he would begin to push of a small amount of reitsu using an old techinique that used his reitsu as armor making it difficult to penetrate him for those who didnt have a large amount of reitsu. As the beast swung the blade the first time Kuro would easily side step it, as the next came towards it he would quickly move his right hand and grab the blade stopping the flurry of attacks before they began. Due to his armor it would be no damage to Kuro for doing so and would quickly put him back on offense.
Quickly lefting his left leg he would send a swift and powerful kick to the ribs of the inner hollow which if connected would send him plummiting away from the sheer force again. "You know you talk a lot to be getting you ass kicked.. You're obviously not concerned about me destroying your vessel. So how about I do it while you're in charge you know, just to give you a small taste of how Maho will perform once she starts challenging you.."

Another attempt of the hollow was a fail. He honestly wasn't even trying that much, but this was still fun for him. Maho is always keeping him locked up mentally. But today, when he saw a chance to attack, he took that opportunity. He wanted to make Maho pay, which is why he provoking her elder to the highest point. He hates his host; he wouldn't even save her if she was about to die. If that meant that he had to die also, then so be it, but he just wants to see her in pain.
As Kuro sent him flying again from one of his kicks, the hollow let out a wail of pain. For an instant, Maho came back to her senses, but then quickly retreated back into her mental state. With a kick like that sent to her ribs, Maho was going to feel that one as soon as she went back to normal. The landing on the ground wasn't so graceful again, but this time he landed on his feet. Ignoring the pain that took over Maho's ribs, the hollow charged at the vizard yet again.
"You sure are full of yourself! And no, I'm not concerned because she needs to die. She's taking up so much space! Now die you bastard!" He yelled out at Kuro before he started his slashing frenzy.

As the hollow recovered from the attack, rushed back towards Kuro, and began trying to send another flurry at the Elder. Kuro would quickly vanish from in front of the beast using shunpou appearing to its left, his foot wold already be lifted above Maho's head and in seconds would swing down to connect onto the top of her head, which would probably force it down into the ground if connected probably even cause a small crater in the gravel from the power of the kick. " Die?? You wont even touch me unless I allow you to this is a winless battle for you. I dont understand why you think different."
If the kick connected Kuro would follow it up by sending another kick into the shoulder of the beast, with enough force to break his enforcers arm if connected aswell as send her airborne from the force. " I actually may think she is a better fighter than you, or you're holding back, either way you look bad since im obviously not gonna kill you. I've decided to beat you until you cant control her anymore, or at least until she breaks control from you herself." Kuro was more of a swordsman then an martial artist so the fact that he was dominating the fight based on his fighting skills was statement enough, pulling his zanpaktou would probably end the battle way quicker than it was taking.
