Thread: Central 46 Compound

  1. #11
    "And there it is," Raizen said upon accurately pre-quoting one of the judges. Having already discovered that there would be no getting out of this from his end, Raizen allowed himself to be carried by the Kidou Corps members to whatever form of jail/holding cell they had in store for him. Wherever he was going, he could only hope Akiko's research could have him freed in some reasonable amount of time. While Raizen awaited escort, another of the six judges spoke to the pink-haired Captain regarding her most recently announced wishes. "That would be my jurisdiction. Very well. I, personally, would like to see young ones such as this flourish and bring something new to our forces. I hope whatever you find is of use, Ayatsuki-taichou."

    "Hai hai, arigatou gozaimasu," the Captain of the 12th Division said. The Captain of the 10th Division also bowed politely though she wasn't nearly as pleased. Akiko would turn to Raizen and speak to him in a hushed voice, "I'll get you out as fast as I can. It's going to take a little bit of time. If it was just me alone, I'd give you an estimate of about 6 months to process and calculate everything and do all the reading. But I should have a decent bit of help now... so, 4 at the latest. If you could avoid doing anything bad until then, I should be able to get you out. I might be sending someone around to ask you some questions if I can't leave the lab, be nice and answer them and it will help out~" she said to the young man as she headed off to the Daireishokairō for the necessary research material, and a few unnecessary ones, that she was simply interested in. Saori would also speak to Raizen, "Don't worry, I'll accompany you to your temporary home. Aki-nee seems adamant about this, so I know you'll be out soon enough." she said to her younger Vice-Captain. "Escort Vice-Captain Kumori Raizen to the Senzaikyu for the duration of his sentence." the judge said, figuring if his innocence could not be proven he could at least be contained until a proper time for his execution was established. The Kidou Corps people would nod understanding their job and begin the process of escorting the young Vice-Captain to his holding cell.

    Nearly three months later, the Central 46's judge, who was charged with the vast library kept within their compound, returned to his seat among the members. "I hear we are to expect Ayatsuki-taichou again. I feel she will be bringing quite the amount of evidence to the contrary of our earlier beliefs," he said upon taking his seat. Afterwards, another individual scoffed. The voice which emerged from said person thereafter was that of an elderly woman. "It won't matter. The other houses are in outrage of the Kumori's return. They will not stand for this child being on the loose!"

    As the last sentence was spoken Akiko entered the Central 46 Chamber. She walked with purpose, and much like the first person who'd spoken, she now knew completely what she had to do and say to obtain the freedom of one Kumori Raizen. Beyond all this, she'd spent the last three months deep in research, about the workings of the Soul Society, and the Noble Houses as well as the placement of the Kumori within this. Beyond all that, she was now an expert in the various types of souls and how they could be modified and augmented and incidents which could occur that changed souls. "Ladies and Gentleman, sorry to keep you waiting. It took me a while but I finally found it all..." she said bringing in a large bound tome which was rather freshly created, it was her own work, a manifesto on the innocence of Kumori Raizen. "If I may speak freely, Kumori Raizen is completely innocent of any wrong doing and what I have here, and three months of my own research and the combined efforts of a few of my more loyal lab assistants proves it," she said leading into the ultimate factor of her information, the crux piece as her fur ears twitched within her hair. "Kumori Raizen was born with his Hollow Powers, they are innately part of his soul, and as such nothing he did was against the laws created to oppose the gaining of Hollow or Hollow-like abilities."

    With Akiko before them, the Central 46 fell silent to hear her speech. Various annoyed grunts followed her claim that the man known as Raizen was not guilty of any crimes he'd been accused of. One particular individual - the very one who sided with Akiko and allowed her research - seemed pleased, though. Still, others would speak. "Preposterous! You come before us for a retrial, and this is what you have to offer? He was BORN with it!? What more information do you have to make such a ridiculous claim as this seem even remotely realistic!?"

  6. #16
    "Come now, we've had these types of conversations at least a dozen times since I became a member of the Gotei. Have I ever stood before you making a claim I couldn't prove?" she said looking towards the voice that spoke and offering a wink. Many other voices seemed to mumble though it wasn't all happy some seemed to remember that it was true that this young woman had never come up with anything that she couldn't prove before. "First there is the matter of there already being a precedent for a soul being born with a Hollow's influence. A variation of human souls was discovered not too long ago, with the ability to wield Hollow-like abilities through a medium which was an object that they had some kind of attachment to. It acted as a Spirit weapon would, but with a variation of abilities very similar to Hollows," Akiko explained turning through the pages of her bound tome. "We called them Fullbringers if you care to remember..." she said laying the ground work for a rather fabulous connection. "Fullbringers are created when the mother of an unborn child survives a Hollow attack. The unborn child is affected by the Hollow's Reiatsu, and gains spiritual abilities in various forms but they are always like that of a Hollow, causing the quality of their Reiatsu to feel incredibly Hollow-like while being exerted," she said giving the explanation. "The case of Kumori Raizen is an unfathomable parallel to one of those, only instead of a standard Plus he's a Shinigami."

    "Fullbringers, you say? Interesting. I recall storing away a few chapters involving them, but I did not believe that sort of thing could happen to a Shinigami in such a way," said the man who was likely the more reasonable of the judges. Once his piece was shared, another judge spoke from his left side. "That sounds very outlandish. In what way does this relate to the Kumori boy, who dons the actual mask of a Hollow, according to our information?"

  8. #18
    "By all accounts this thing can and has already happened. Though with slightly different starting circumstances," she said to the first man who spoke. He was by far one of the kindest individuals to sit in the Central 46. As such most of Akiko's speech was usually directed at him as she was quite sure he enjoyed hearing the new information provided him. Instead of trying to poke holes through it. Speaking of hole poking, there was another right now, doing that exact thing, Akiko's head turned to face this voice the smallest of smirks appearing on her face. "Kumori Raizen is the Shinigami equivalent of a Fullbringer. The abilities of a Fullbringer only make themselves known initially when that person is in immediate danger. Kumori Raizen by all accounts is a genius of unfathomable potential, he even outscored me at the Academy," she said frowning slightly at the thought. "So, by all accounts he's never faced anything which was a serious threat to his being. Tamamura-taichou in their fight in the tournament could probably be counted as the first of any real threats to his person, a legitimate life or death situation which caused the powers to flare up and protect him as their host. The Hollow mask he dons is the manifestation of the Hollow powers in his person. The Hollow powers like those of the Fullbringer are bound to an object close to him, something influenced by his Reiatsu and on his person at all times..." she said leaving a bit of space for a grand reveal.

  9. #19
    "The Shinigami equivalent... of a Fullbringer?" said the last man to speak, following up on claims by Akiko. The other male who'd been doing most of the speaking for the judges thus far seemed more interested in something else, though. "Your records were beaten? I wasn't aware of this. Perhaps you should have sought this one as your Vice-Captain. While I don't completely follow what you're saying, I believe I understand just enough to say you have more than enough evidence of Kumori's innocence. Of course, I dare say we should have probably followed that train of thought months ago."

  10. #20
    "Yes, don't worry, I going to give the short hand explanation in a moment," the young woman said with her cat ears twitching. It seemed their most talkative judge found it amusing and interesting that her own records at the Academy had been beaten and thought that she should have taken Kumori Raizen as her own Vice-Captain. "Iie, I am not really interested in having someone potentially smarter than me as an Underling. They deserve the room they need to grow into whatever they wanna be," she said of Kumori Raizen and the amount of clever he was, she had similar feelings about someone else, but... that was a matter for another time. Finally, the judge who normally said yes or no to such things as the evidence already presented spoke. And he seemed to have a bit of a problem with something mentioned by Akiko. "I see you've spent a lot of time on this, but there seems to be a hole in this logic. Kumori Raizen was born within the Seireitei, and his mother, by all records and accounts was a Captain not even on active duty while pregnant. There have only been two known cases of Hollows in the Soul Society and both of those have happened in the last year. Given this, aren't you wrong to assume how he got his powers in the first place?" he said. He was among those who'd been recently swayed into believing in the necessity of Raizen's death. He'd postponed it for a while to give everyone a chance, but now he had more than what he needed, to know this young man likely wouldn't be stoppable if he was released.

    Akiko's head leaned forward and she reached into her sleeve for a lollipop she removed one from her sleeve and began to eat it. "Oh? You really think I'd walk in here without having covered all the bases. Alright..." she said. "The real reason I needed access to the Daireishokairo was because I needed to know about the Kumori Clan before its fall. What I found out was, about an item being worked on by them called Bakkoto. Ever take one of those apart?" she asked as she moved the lollipop around in her mouth. "Because I did, and each one is made up of a single Hollow Soul. Kumori Raizen's mother aimed to take her own life with one of those before she found out she was pregnant by all accounts listed in the records. She survived it, the Reiatsu from the weapon, counted as a near-death experience with a Hollow. That's how you get a Shinigami born with Hollow influence," she said the judge who'd spoken looked stunned. With information like this, the boy's innocence in this matter was all but assured, as he couldn't have had anything to do with something that took place well before his own birth. "I... see." said the man. "Oh simple version for you..." she said pointing to the man who'd spoken first in this exchange with the lollipop so recently removed from her mouth. "Hollow knife, tried to end a woman's life. She was pregnant, got Reiatsu contaminated by that Hollow knife, had a baby who grew up to be a super clever boy who is a great Shinigami, who you all have had locked up like he's waiting for execution for something he didn't actually do. Questions?"
