Training to combat the growing menace

Sansuka woke from his slumber to find himself still resting upon that woman's lap. Smiling for a moment he would get up and brush his Shihakushou off. Looking at the spirit, directly in to her eyes, Sansuka would smile warmly. Though he knew how Training with this spirit was, he also knew that she trusted him to pass the tests. His left hand raised for a moment as his body dissipated. When it appeared behind her to preform a sort of chop to her neck. Though she was able to see his movements it was nothing less then amazing how she dodged. It appeared she had ducked down while firmly putting her foot outwards. In effect, she had made Sansuka Shunpo in to her foot essentially giving himself a kick to the chin. Blinking a moment as he flew in to the air, he would preform a flip so he was now facing her. With his spiritual pressure flared he would press his feet against an invisible platform. Smoke seared from this as he continued to skid backwards. When he had finally stopped his muscles tensed as much as they could. It was now that Sansuka decided to Preform a High speed Soukotsu. As he put all of his Reiatsu in to this one push, he wold bolt forward breaking the sound Barrier. The boom caused the very trees in the immediate area to shake with a violent tremor. As he neared the woman he would bring his hands outwards only at the instant of contact. She would bring her Zanpaktou up to block but it was too late. Sansuka made contact with the woman's shoulders and at that point, it should have been over. Sansuka's voice echoed through the now partially deforested area, "SOUKOTSU!" As his fists pushed downwards he could feel his power entering her. Though in reality with out some sort of hacktual nature the Spirit would not kill their master and Vice Versa. Sighing for a moment as he woman would dissipate in the middle of the attack, the ground would shake as the rest of the power would abruptly cause the island in the center of the little lake to be obliterated. How sad that was, but alas it was as it was. His body would gently loosen up and stand upon the water. It seemed that now was the time to fight with a Zanpaktou? Well, at least not yet for Sansuka. Though he knew his spirit would push him that far, he wanted to see it for himself.

The woman would reappear fully healed and facing her master. Adjusting her shoulders a bit, her right hand would lift up as a flood of energy stemmed from them. "I will teach you a secret technique that even Byakuya Kuchiki didn't know. Now, handle it if you can Sansuka-kun. Because you'll die if you don't. WATASHI WA KOKO NI KI!" She said as her body rushed forth. Out of what seemed like oblivion, petals formed from her Reiatsu. They burst forth towards Sansuka as if she was in Bankai. Oh how this was bad indeed. Sansuka's body dissipated just in time, but not fast enough as he was cut on his left arm. Feeling a tad out of breath but a moment he gripped the bleeding arm's wounds. "Forming petals from Reiatsu out of Shikai or Bankai? That's the technique? I see, it makes sense but how many can you actually form at one time?" She smiled as her hands lifted to the air. It seemed that the world was a horrid place after she did that for her Reiatsu flared to it's highest causing Sansuka to watch closely. A large surge of petals grew from her Reiatsu up in to the air. As they did, they would float down gently and hover around her as if she was in Bankai. The amount of petals was Innumerable for sure. At a quick guess it was half as many petals as Bankai but it expended a lot of Reiatsu to do so. So far it seemed she wasn't able to reform the broken petals or even revert them to Reiatsu. "Some no Mai: Nami o kouzui." She said as the petals flooded forth towards Sansuka. Seeing them, he closed his eyes for a moment as he gathered up Spiritual Energy in his body. In doing so, he would bring his fists upwards. Once he gathered them in his fists he would open his eyes. Punching forward he he would expel Reiatsu causing a wave of energy to flood forth. The shockwave would send the petals scattering in different Directions. "Watashi mo ikutsu ka no torikku o motte iru." Sansuka lifted his right fist once more as he gathered the power from his left to merge with his right. Once he finished his fist would strike the air in a different motion. Raw Reiatsu flew forward in the form of a fist as it would nearly strike the woman.

Sansuka smiled at this momentary victory only to show it was indeed short lived. She prepared for another attack. " Tsugi no Mai: Gouu botsuraku." As she said that, the petals would dissipate from existence only to appear high over Sansuka's head. They twirled around like a bad storm just waiting to fall. With out warning they all suddenly burst forth towards him with great speeds. It was almost impossible to escape. His legs pushed himself far enough out of the way that the majority of the petals struck the water. However the few strays would strike his legs causing pain to course up them. Gasping at the sudden pain he would slide to a halt upon the water's surface. As did so the woman was preparing for another Assault. That's right, she was already Preparing the next dance it seemed. The petals faded in to Reiatsu that seemed to dissipate in to the air. It seemed that the next one was going to be a tough one to dodge for sure. Her hands lifted forward allowing the palms to face Sansuka. "San no Mai: Shi no houyou." She said as petals seemed to explode from her hands. They wrapped around Sansuka in a globe like that of the one attack from Senbonzakura's Bankai. As they closed in it would be moments before they reached the perfect distance. The globe was close enough to Sansuka so he was unable to move a step. Standing straight up he would focus his energy in to his body. He would prepare to expel Reiatsu from his whole body in one flooding motion. As he just got prepared the petals would all violently explode in a wave of Reiatsu. Sansuka, doing his best, flooded his personal space with Reiatsu as well. Though it was for naught as he was still sent flying with some injuries. However thanks to his quick thinking it was nothing serious. He would stand up clenching his stomach as a good portion of the blow was to there since he wasn't able to keep Reiatsu in that area for long if he wanted to keep his head attached. As he shoot himself off from the dust and debris he would rub the back of his head a moment. "Well that was quite a set of attacks." His voice was gentle and sound yet he had a hint of love in there towards her.

Arriving in good time with no particular sense of urgency, Tenkai happened upon the place Sansuka had wished to meet. As he got closer and closer he could sense that some form of battle was going on. Not particularly anything over bearing, but more strenuous then standard activity. Upon stepping foot in the actual region of said activity, he got a clear image of what was going on. Sansuka was doing battle with, someone, or something. Their reiatsu resembled that of Sansuka's, a perfect match for that fact. But something of that nature was impossible unless of course they had been cloned, which was also impossible, or one was battling with the manifestation of their zanpaktou. That could also not be true though, Tenkai had laid his eyes on Sansuka's zanpaktou many a time, and the reverse was true as well. So then that still left the question, who could this person possibly be. Following all logic Tenkai's brain told him that this person was a threat and he should move to strike them down. But something in the pit of his stomach told him otherwise, that they weren't. He had always followed his brain in situations like this, the path of logic usually being more reliable. But when dealing with his friends and family, his gut tended to know more. The person before him being Sansuka, made him wish to trust his gut in this decision. Something strange had happened, that much was practically guaranteed. But, whether that was a good or bad thing, had yet to be seen. He would wait idly by as he waited for his friend to take notice. His hand readied on his blade in case for the first time in a while his gut decision did turn out to be wrong. Though he knew Sansuka to be strong, he was a Captain after all, there had been more then enough proof of beings more powerful then themselves in the world. Staying himself to the edge of the clearing Tenkai waited patiently to see why he had been called by his friend.

SC: 23

Sansuka could feel the presence of an old friend. closing his eyes he could sense that he was well. That was good, but it seemed no time to actually rest at the moment as the woman reared up for one last attack. "Mai." Was all she said as suddenly a wave of sakura petals formed from her flaring Reiatsu. Once they did, they bolted towards, Tenkai? What an odd way to draw Sansuka's Attention! The petals seemed to elegantly float in a mystic way. Oh but those petals were deadly as a Zanpaktou. Knowing this, Sansuka took one thing in to consideration, his speed was faster then the petals. Almost as if she wanted him to catch up to them. With out hesitation the body of Sansuka dissipated in to a sudden array of visual architecture that was seen only by a Captain's Shunpo. As he reappeared, his right hand crew the blade at his left side. It was different then he had before. No, he was different from before. That was a truth held to be self evident. As the blade was held sideways, gripping the Tsuka in a backwards fashion he could feel the cold tinge of the steel upon his battle hardened forearm. The wave struck the sword with great force but nothing that Sansuka couldn't struggle to stay in one spot. However it looked as though he would be pushed backwards as his feet slid a few inches. Smirking for a moment he spoke lightly. "Tsugi no Mai:Gouu botsuraku." As he spoke a large pool of petals started to gather over the area. Closing his eyes he would focus those petals to a point. In doing so, he would create an almost point upon it. The petals would then speed down towards the wave and clash. The clashing of petals sent all the petals in the area floating away as if struck by wind. Sighing he would lift his right hand to tell the woman to cease. "Sen-san, It's time to take a break. It seems he's arrived a tad bit early, as expected." He said as his right foot pivoted for a moment form his heel. as he finally moved to face Tenkai the new Sansuka was in full fledged view. His nearly ragged yet somehow Regal in appearance. His right hand still clutched the odd looking blade. IT's parts consited of the standard Zanpaktou yet, the colors were completely off. Instead of the Tinged blood red there was replaced with a gentle almost indigo color. No, not indigo, it was indeed Lavender. The Tsuba was like a four pane glass window which was bronze in color. The rest, was an elegant white. Looking deep in to Tenkai's eyes he smiled for a moment, those deep blue eyes staring in to Tenkai's soul.

"It's good to see you again, Tenkai. Ah, sorry, Captain Bushinji." He teased for a moment. Realizing he still held the Regal Zanpaktou in his arms he would flip it with in his fingers and preform an Ancient wrist flick art known to the Japanese Samurai. After, he would sheath the blade with out making a single noise, as was the Samurai way as well. Looking upwards he would sigh for a singular moment before speaking once more. "I'm sure you have questions. But first, I must discuss with you the reason for bringing you here. It's come to my attention there was a subversion plot. Luckily they chose the wrong person to try and Subvert first, me. They had brainwashed by Third Seat Myato Tyomoto. He attacked me in the Court yard of Squad Nine in an attempt to slay me. He oddly, even had Bankai. He wasn't as progressed when I left so I can see something happened in the short time. But that's not all, when he died he said something that struck me." Sansuka looked a tad worried as he remembered the words. Speaking them out loud he would say it with fire in his stomach and rage in his eyes, "Heh, I thought I could beat you. But no matter, my boss will still kill you. There's no way you can defeat him with your power. You wouldn't even be able to activate your bankai. He, will, prevail."" Sansuka looked away for a moment and gripped the Tsuka of that regal Zanpaktou. "Could it really be him or am I just over thinking things. There's no cause for it to be thought as him, but I still have that lingering feeling he isn't-" He was interrupted by the woman as the woman rested her hand upon Sansuka's own hand. Blinking for a moment he would nod and she sat down off to the side. Looking back at Tenkai he would await the response. He would of course keep enthused with the conversation as it enthralled him, no, it borderline obsessed over his mind. The thought of that man still being alive was indeed horrible. Perhaps one of those nightmares the humans talk about so often. He'd shake the thought from his head and listen to what Tenkai had to say.

When they finsihed conversing, the old man would smile a more lightly and speak in his soft gentle tone. "So, what question do you want answered first, For I have many things to show you that, well, even you will find interesting." He chuckled for a moment to once again Tease Tenkai. Oh how he missed his friend indeed.

Tenkai continued to observe the battle until it took a turn in tide. It had no longer been between the two before him, but somehow dragged him into it as well. He saw a wave of petals surge forward at him, petals that were strangely familiar. It did not matter if they were familiar to him though, he was being attacked and had to react. Just as he was prepared to dodge the surge of petals Sansuka appeared before him. His friend uttered a few words creating a wave of his own petals to combat those that had come for Tenkai. The question he had asked himself earlier now had an answer. Though, how that conclusion came to be was still a question, and a large one, in Tenkai's mind. He would have his own chance to answer questions once combat had ceased, which it appeared it would momentarily. Whomever this women was, Sansuka knew her. This being the case, it appeared that all of his questions had wrapped together into one answer with a much larger question of its own. His fellow Captain turned to face him and greeted him as was usual. There was the twinge of teasing that he himself would throw upon his own friend about rank. It appeared what goes around, comes around. The universal law of karma, or something of that kind. Raising his right hand with his index finger outstretched, Tenkai prepared to greet his friend and ask a few questions. Though, Sansuka cut him off at the pass most likely realizing that this would be the case. He instead had more information to dump on Tenkai which would only create even more questions. Apparently the mans third seat had gone rogue after being coerced by some unknown force. The acquisition of a shinigami attaining bankai was not too startling, especially if they were of noted rank and strength. The only issue Tenkai could find in what he was saying is that there was a greater force that drove this to be.

However, if only one person had so far been introduced as a member of this plot, it didn't particularly warrant great action. It did however rouse suspicions within Tenkai and several alarms went off in his own mind. There were any number of possibilities with what this threat could possibly be. With the war with the Vandenreich going on, and having only just driven them out of the Soul Society, it could be them. Then again, with the upheaval from the war there was no telling if it could be a rogue group of shinigami trying to create an uprising. It was too soon to be thinking of a conclusion to it, more information would have to be gathered. Running a hand through his hair he looked to the right into the dense forests of rukongai. "This is certainly a time of chaos in the soul societies history. Everyday something else happens to make it worse. At this rate it may become as dangerous as the time of Aizen's betrayal and the first Vandenreich Invasion. If something of that caliber was to happen I don't think the Seireitei could keep itself together. We don't have a savior like Ichigo Kurosaki as they did, we have to rely on our own power. Which as it is, is not sufficient." Sighing softly, Tenkai allowed his hand to find its way back to the sleeve of his haori shrouding them from vision. "But that is a discussion for another time and another place. The first question I have in mind is your zanpaktou. How did you get your hands on that blade? I recognize it well enough, but how is it here, and in your possession." The striking changes in his friends appearance were towards the bottom of his list of questions at the moment. There were other, strange events that were occurring right before his eyes. Those were the questions he wanted answers for first. Then, they could simply put the other pieces in place and form the puzzle.

SC: 47

Sansuka nodded at Tenkai's sound remarks. Perhaps he was just over thinking things a bit. For now, he'd simply keep an eye on what was to come. For now though, the matters at hand were that of what Tenkai asked. His smile faded a bit as he went straight for the throat. It seemed he wanted to know about the Zanpaktou. Looking back at the woman he sighed lightly. "Yes, you realized that by a simple Reiatsu Manipulation Technique and a sealed form. YOu never cease to amaze me Tenkai. Your suspicions are correct, this is what you think it is. And as to how? I'm still fairly uncertain about it myself. I came to realize my power was somewhat, off. I felt that my Zanpaktou was somewhat, pained. But I couldn't figure why as I thought I was well synced with hi-er, her. But it appeared that in reality, I was merely stifling her with my Raw Reiatsu based powers. My Kido love was, too great it seemed." He jokingly said as he laughed a little. "It's not that far fetched considering the only attacks I had. If you think about it, all I was doing was simply manipulating my Reiatsu in to waves, beams, an disks. There was no substance to them, no connection to the soul. At least, that's what I've surmised thus far. She won't tell me any of it though, stubbern as ever and that's a fact." Sighing lightly once he would scratch his head with ease. "Well, I guess it's time to show you the full extent that I can use it." He said as he would leap backwards a tiny bit. In doing so he landed on a firm piece of ground where his left hand would slowly draw the Zanpaktou. Keeping the blade downwards he would speak in a light tone. " Bankai" He said as he let go of his sword. The blade slowly dropped towards the ground as the tip would enter it slightly. Then, almost as if by magic small ripples of energy echoed outwards like water. The blade would sink deep in to the ground unti lit disappeared.

In a mere instant a thousand towering blades rose up in a sort of stance like that of pillars at each side. Looking in to Tenkai's eyes his words would echo as he spoke. "Scatter, Senbonzakura Kageyoshi." The towering blades would glow a bright pink before shattering in to countless amounts of Sakura petals. He would smile lightly as he felt Senbonzakura wrap her arms around him only to fade back in to the blade. Feeling her warmth around him, he would allow himself the indulgence of the fact. "I know all of the Techniques, and as you saw earlier, some things even my Predecessor didn't know. Well, it as bound to happen for old Zanpaktou to Reappear. Look at Hyorinmaru. It's said he waited nearly a thousand years before finding Hitsuguya-sama." He said with a nod showing off his intellectual aspects far too much at the moment. Perhaps he knew too much at times, but there were things even this know it all didn't know. Secret things kept between few people. Such as the whereabouts of Aizen, he still didn't know that. He assumed he was in the Maggots nest but of course that could be wrong. It wasn't something that people go around talking about anyway. Looking back in to Tenkai's eyes he would question his own resolve for a moment, only to reaffirm himself to be ready to wield such an elegant blade. Lifting his right hand lightly he would scratch the back of his head and take a more relaxed stance as the petals seemed to just, float around like, well like Sakura petals.

So it appeared that his suspicions proved to be true. Granted, the obvious use of the blades abilities made it all but certain. But to still hear the words from Sansuka's mouth, that was what made it reality. There was a handy explanation that went along with it that filled in most of the blanks. It wasn't particularly unheard of for a zanpaktou to manifest their powers in different ways. Though, it was usually a purposeful act by the master of said zanpaktou instead of an unwary habit. But, it didn't particularly matter how or why it happened. The fact was that it had happened and was now the reality of things. It was a rather convenient time for him to discover his true power as well. It was a time of upheaval and war, so every ounce of strength one could muster would be beneficial. It appeared that, as he displayed, Sansuka had mastered his zanpaktou to a startling degree in a short amount of time. Tenkai's eyes flitted around as he observed the various floating petals that hovered in the air around their master. Reaching out with his right hand he grazed one of them with his index finger resulting in a paper cut like slit appearing on his finger. He felt the need to test the capabilities of it to see if it was truly the real thing and not some similarly named look alike. The fact that the petals were indeed as sharp as blades only gave more proof to the contrary. "I see, it truly is what you say it is. I only had to test it for myself to make my own mind sure of it. A strange occurrence in a strange time." Dabbing his finger to spread some saliva, Tenkai then smeared the blood from the wound effectively closing it. It was a rather barbaric method as opposed to using ointments or kidou. But, he had neither on hand. With saliva's natural healing properties and the coagulative nature of blood, it was a simple remedy.

But in his friends explanation there was one thing that he hadn't addressed. Whether it was because he hadn't thought of it or he simply just hadn't said anything about it, it was still there. Slipping his hands from the sleeves of his haori, Tenkai rested them behind his hand as he began to pace around the clearing slowly. "Sansuka, not to dampen your parade as you seem quite proud of that blade, there's a question I must ask. Though you've afforded yourself your true power or whatever it could be explained as, can you fight with it? You've only just gotten this zanpaktou, and though you've mastered its abilities using it in battle is a completely different story." Stopping his pacing he turned to face his friend with words of truth. He slipped his hands from behind his head and allowed his left hand to pull his zanpaktou from his sash, sheath and all. "You had used your old zanpaktou, or whatever it may be called, for several hundred years. It was how you fought and how you knew to fight. With a new set of abilities comes a whole new world of combat. You will have to change the majority of your tactics to accustom yourself to the new method of fighting." Holding Oni Kokouo out in front of him he used it as an example. "It's like fighting with a partner, that much you already know. I have fought with Oni by my side for over four hundred years, we know one another inside and out. We compliment one another perfectly because we have learned to fight with one another over countless battles. In these times of strife when our opponents both outnumber us and outclass us, are you going to be able to wield your zanpaktou proficiently without that partnership forged in battle?" It was a somewhat harsh reality, being what it was. His friend had apparently unlocked the true inner being of his soul. He was more then proud of the blade he wielded and was more then happy to demonstrate it. But he believed himself correct in what he said and was only looking out for his friend.

If he entered into battle without being completely in tune with his zanpaktou, it could be his downfall. Especially if whatever this looming threat was presented itself. Unless the third seat was just blowing hot air, they sounded like they would indeed be powerful. But then again, the two of them together were strong enough to defeat any foe. They were a tag team of shinigami that were practically unbeatable when fighting side by side. The two of them could be likened to the old pair of Captains, Jyuushiro Ukitake and Shunsui Kyoraku. Both of them Captain's and were unmatched among their peers. Though it might be overly prideful to compare themselves to that pair, they were well on their way to fill that role. But that was enough of speculation and ego stroking. Placing his zanpaktou back into his sash Tenkai looked around the area they now stood in pondering the first question he wondered when he was on his way. "So, Sansuka. Why was it that you wanted to meet with me? Knowing you, there has to be another reason other then just showing me your new zanpaktou."

SC: 56

Looking away for a moment sansuka would clench his fists tighty. Even if he didn't want to believe it, Tenkai told the truth. It was a horrid thing to realize at such a time, but it was better then in the middle of a fight. He had been accustomed to launching large scale attacks from far away, that was a fact. Though this Zanpaktou wasn't much different, it still held the large difference of it's weakness compared to his other powers he held. Releasing his fists he would take a deep breathe and nod for a moment. "Perhaps you're right. I've been training too much to truly know the scale of powers with in a fight. I hadn't seen it well until now, but it's true. We may share powers but the true fact is, she and I are not fully synced. At least not yet. Perhaps some actual battles would be due to levee this." He snapped out of his little trance as Tenkai proposed a question. Blinking for a moment he would realize his point may not have been clear enough at the start. Clearing his throat he would look at Tenkai's eyes with his own blue orbs. "I have a feeling this, threat that the Third Seat was talking about is perhaps, the man that nearly killed us. I don't have proof, I don't have anything except that gut feeling. Maybe it's just being paranoid.

" Looking away for a moment he would allow his mind to wander to other possibilities. Looking back to Tenkai he would nod for an instant. "As I said there's no proof except that lingering feeling that he's just not dead." Shaking his head he would bring his hand out where the petals would gather in to a singular blade. In doing so, the blade sealed the power of the Zanpaktou with in as he sheathed it. Perhaps he would need to find a good battle soon. Looking towards the sky in an almost eager look he awaited for some sort of thing to drop out of the sky to fight. But of course that was a shear impossibility for sure.  Realizing this he would simply rest his hands in the sleeves of the opposite arms and think. It wasn't a time to truly worry about this sort of stuff, is it?

(Learned Mai)

Tenkai nodded slowly as his words were affirmed. His friend hadn't thought about that piece of information, though it wasn't surprising. It was a small bit of information, that though was important, wasn't usually thought about. It was a simple matter of experience, and getting to know another person. Something that could never be forced, only taken with time. He knew Sansuka would come to that conclusion himself in short time, especially if battle was to occur. However, it was better to get it out of the way sooner than later. Perhaps he could help speed up this process if the two were to train with his new found powers. As he was about to suggest such a thing his friend began to speak once again. This time he was back to the topic that they had first discussed. This, plot, or some such thing that Sansuka had suspected was going on. Tenkai could only roll his eyes as he thought the topic was dropped and would be on hold until they could gather more information. However what his friend said snapped him back to focus and actually sparked some anxiety in his heart. The foe he was talking about, if he was correct, was one that they had indeed fought before. If he was not dead then it could create a massive problem for them. He was talking about Gervas Reier, the Second in Command of the Vandenreich Invasion Force. He was an opponent that was truly powerful and required both the strength of Tenkai and Sansuka to defeat him. However, thinking back, for someone that strong the battle had certainly gone quite easily. Granted they had both been injured, but the mans power rated close to that of their own Captain Commander. He could never imagine someone that strong being defeated with only a few powered up attacks and some cunning plans. A shiver ran down his spine just thinking of the prospect that they would have to fight him once again.

It was a reality that could very well be possible though he would not want to believe in it. After this thought, the topic may deserve some more in depth thought and some immediate action. If he was alive then the Vandenreich were still in the Soul Society and their commanding officer was alive. He was a great enough threat that he could single handedly take down most of the Captains of the Gotei Thirteen. Clenching his fists rather tightly the cracking of his knuckles could be heard from the sheer force. He was angry that such a powerful opponent could still be alive after they had thought him to be dead. His death effectively demoralized the whole of the invasion force and opened the way for them to completely remove the Vandenreich from their home. If they had simply been playing into his hands, it only enraged him more to think they were that stupid. "Damnit, I have a feeling you may be right Sansuka. If that is the case...., no, it's too soon to talk about it, especially here. It's not safe to discuss such a topic out in the open like this." Turning to his right Tenkai began to march off into the forest heading directly for the Seireitei. It would be safer to talk there then out in the middle of the Rukongai. If Gervas was still alive his forces had most likely regrouped at wherever he was. They would have to be out in the rukongai as well so as to not be noticed. They were in the enemies territory now and that was not favorable in the least. "Sansuka, I don't know if you have anymore business here but I think its best we head back. I would ask you to come with me to my family's manor so we could discuss this topic there. I know that it will be safe as there's the possibility the squads have been compromised." With that Tenkai made quick time shunpouing off into the forest heading to his family's home.

This was one of those times that being one of the four noble families was quite beneficial. They had their own manor, with hand picked servants that had been there for hundreds of years. Everyone there could be trusted and spoken to openly about anything. That was the air his family had always taken with one another, as well as the servants. Reaching into his shihakushou, Tenkai pulled out a hell butterfly. He wanted the other members of his family to be there as well so they could keep an eye out for any strange activity. The only stretched three division, the fourth, tenth, and thirteenth, but they were higher ranked then most and could use their authority to watch things. Sending out the butterfly he had summoned for his son, daughter in law, and granddaughter. He knew his brother and sister in law would most likely already be at the manor. Once they had all gathered they could begin discussing their suspicions and what to do about them.

SC: 56

Sansuka nodded as Tenkai spoke. He was right as if it were true, they were standing in the heart of occupied territory. That being said, there was no telling what kind of eavesdropping they could be doing. Sighing for a moment Sansuka would take a slightly laxed tone as Tenkai spoke about leaving to the Manor. "Very well as it must be done." With this his body would dissipate in to nothingness as his speed would match Tenkai's to the letter. Keeping pace, he could feel his Shiakushou flutter about in a wild sort of array. There were people he could trust in Squad Nine but none that could be contacted at the moment. They were somewhat of unavailable at the moment. Shaking his head for an instant he'd speak after Tenkai finished his message and sent it on its way. "Sometimes I'm quite glad I fell from the graces of Nobility." He said with a tinge of regret yet somehow bolstered by a sense of true thankfulness. Perhaps it was the mixed feelings about his parents and them becoming renowned criminals shortly after. What a turn of events that kept him in a relatively good standing. Of course if that didn't get him accepted becoming Captain of the Gotei Court Guard squads would and that in itself was a fact. It was time to get to the bottom of this, though he knew there would be trouble for sure. Perhaps they should wait until they gathered more power then they had. If that was the case they could possibly stand a chance in case this menace grew in power as well. Only time would tell, and of course the discussion that was about to commence.
