Thread: Senzaikyū (Palace of Remorseful Sin)

    "... Sou ka," he said while looking at the woman curiously. For her to say such things about Tanaka Atsuko, she was officially a very intriguing individual to Raizen himself. This meant something very interesting indeed. Moving on, it seemed Benihime wished to argue against her potential exile for making the sort of Gigai she had planned, but as one whose Captain was very versed in Gigai technology and workings, Raizen knew well how other would see this creation. "It may not be a weapon, but it would be considered an easy way for a renegade Shinigami to escape Soul Society and never be found again. Trust me; I've already given consideration to an even more ridiculous Gigai. The Central 46 barely approved of the original product, according to Himotoya-taichou."

    Benihime took the opportunity after she spoke to study Raizen's face, she was certain he was curious about something but had no idea what it could have been. Moving right along, he went on to explain his position on why it was a bad idea to make the kinds of modifications she wanted to the Gigai. Even going on to mention that his Captain had a hard time getting them approved of in the first place. "Hai hai, though to be fair, whatever I choose to make with that technology could be considered dangerous for the same reason, so I guess I won't be telling anyone about it~" she said before she began pouting just a tad. There was always some old person or persons in her life keeping her from doing things she'd find amusing. "The Central 46 is the reason the humans have cooler stuff than we do... halting science because they are scared of their own shadows," she said before allowing her face to fall into a grin. "Hai, I'll trust you and not do something to get myself exiled. For a while at least~"

    "You may be right, but it's much easier for them to discover a strong Gigai than it would be for them to discover the purpose of something previously unseen." As the conversation progressed, Raizen retrieved his Zanpakutou and returned it to his lap again. This time, he went far enough to unsheathe it before doing so. "Good. It would be a waste if you were exiled. Ayatsuki-taichou has much less freedom to stop and chat."

    "That's... pretty good actually~" she said thinking about it more she supposed she could put a bit more work into letting her newest concept hide in plain sight. With this in mind she had pretty much all she needed to continue with her research. As time progressed Raizen was soon returning his sword to his lap, this time though, the blade of it was unsheathed and it caused the young woman's gaze to shift to it. It was quite different from most sealed blades she'd seen, it had a mysterious aura about it, and this was a lot considering what the girl's own weapon looked like. Though she would have liked to stay a bit longer, her own time here was up, and as such she soon stood. "Hai, Ayatsuki-taichou will likely be by a while from now. Though if she can't come, I'll visit again," said the young woman as she stood stretching her left hand soon finding the back of her head. "Arigatou gozaimasu, Kumori-fukutaicho. See ya' later~" she said seemingly in good spirits as she got up. Much like their fight, she seemed to be a bit rejuvenated, and she had more than a few ideas for the next thing she'd create. With all of this in mind, it was like her normally dormant mind was abuzz beyond normal reason.

    "Hai. Mystery is not to be underestimated," he stated. Generally speaking, this was Raizen's outlook on most things in this world; the unknown was intriguing only to inquiring minds such as theirs, while all others simply left them as unsolved mysteries. This was where these sorts of individuals could shine like no others. As he expected, Benihime had entered this prison within a certain window of allotted time, which had now come to its end. "Sayonara," he said as she prepared to take her leave. Whenever the redhead vanished from sight, the previously mentioned 3rd Seat of the 10th Division appeared from a ghastly aura spawning in a corner of the room. "I thought we were going to be allowed some alone time," she said. In response, Raizen looked toward her with an unwavering gaze. "Obviously, you thought wrong. I do find it interesting, though, that you had nothing to say during any of the guards' visits." The silver-haired woman scoffed at this statement, turning her head away from the Vice-Captain while crossing her arms in a huff. "Well, excuse me for thinking I might have a reason to be jealous! I have to maintain my position as top woman around here."

    "Whatever you say. Now, let's take it from the top."

    Some three months after his initial arrival at the Senzaikyu, Kumori Raizen would be receiving visitors for the last time. In the form of a pink haired woman with two cat tails and cat ears, sporting a white lab coat modified to include cat paw like attachments at the ends. She walked beside a young woman of similar height but extensively different build. A voluptuous young girl with both hips and more than ample bust with striking red hair pulled up into a pony tail atop her head. Fringes and bangs covered the girl's left eye as she happily strode along side her Captain, her chest, wrists and feet bound in bandages which were replacing normal articles of clothing. "Good news... we're getting you out of here, Kumori-fukutaichou," the Captain of the 12th Division said. "And a whole month early at that~" she added seemingly overly pleased with her accomplishments.

    What the trio might not be aware of, as a group of noble assassins headed to the Prison at the news of Kumori Raizen's release. Regardless of what the Central 46 had to say, apparently some nobles still thought that the young man needed to die. And so they were acting in a renegade sort of way, aiming to take him out while he was weakened by his stint in the Senzaikyu.

    When the 12th Division's Captain and 5th Seat entered the prison, they would find Raizen sitting in the darkness. Physically, he looked rather frail, and his Reiatsu seemed almost nonexistent. His eyes were closed, and his Zanpakutou was no longer in his lap. He'd been alone for about two months, left to his own devices for far longer than he needed for his own development. When Akiko spoke, his eyes slowly peeled open into a vacant stare at the floor. "Hai," was all he said, spoken in a tone which implied his voice had gone unused for a very long time. He stood, seemingly having no problem whatsoever rising to his feet. Raizen was prepared to vacate the prison, but he chose not to move until the others led him outside.

    Raizen looked a bit frail compared to what Benihime remembered, but the man seemed perfectly capable of pulling himself up. Once he was standing and had spoken Akiko looked at him her brows coming together. "Uh... alright, look you haven't been outside for a while, it's gonna be a bit before you feel like your normal self. But I could get you mostly fixed up at the lab if you wanted," she offered the young man, such a thought made Benihime's face shift into a bit of a grin, as she figured this man wasn't nearly as frail as he looked, then again, she also knew he'd been up to a bit more than necessary to get through here. Instead of such an offer, she pulled a small capsule out of her pocket and pressed the button on top of it, releasing from within it a bottle of water. "Kumori-fukutaichou, you sound like you haven't spoken in a while, here ya' go~" she said offering it to him.

    He'd subsequently be led down by the duo of women to retrieve his weapon and be let outside. Once they were outside the prison and across the bridge on top of Sokyoku Hill they'd be met by a party of 6 individuals. All of these people dressed in black, masks covering their faces, appearing to belong to some obscure branch of the Onmitsukidou. "Halt! We're here for Kumori Raizen, you two stand aside..." said the leader of this group who seemed to have an insignia'd headband unlike the other people. "Yeah, that isn't really gonna happen. I figured someone would try this, but... really I didn't expect someone like this," she said seeming annoyed by the whole thing. "We don't care what the Central 46 decided, they can forgive us later. He's an abomination and he deserves to die along with the name of his clan!" the man seemed to be adamant and all of the people around him drew weapons as well holding them up to their arms. Benihime looked at the group and their stances her hand soon came to rest on the hilt of her Zanpakuto. Mostly because she didn't like being threatened, she liked even less, the idea that they'd attack a man they thought incapable of defending himself. It was cowardly.

    "I'll be fine," he said to the Captain. Within moments, he was being offered a bottle of water by the red-haired lass. True enough, he hadn't spoken or had a drink in quite some time. He accepted the bottle without hesitation, and quickly drank its contents before speaking again. When next he spoke, his voice was indeed much clearer. "Arigatou."

    Soon, Raizen was stepping out into the light he had only recently seen through a window. Ahead of him and his escorts was a group of individuals after his life, which was something he'd also come to expect during his time in the sekkiseki walls. These assailants, of course, did not halt his progress forward. Without so much as a word, Raizen stepped out ahead of Akiko and Benihime, stopping just ahead of them both. "You heard them," he said to the two women who were now behind him. "Step aside." Interestingly enough, Raizen's tone was now one of a very demanding nature. He was quite serious; despite his apparently minimal amounts of Reiryoku, he intended to meet these assassins. Whether he actually intended to forfeit his life to them, though, would remain to be seen.

    Benihime waved off the thanks for the water and was more than content by the time they reached the would be assailants to engage them in some way. But soon enough Raizen moved past both her and her Captain. Akiko managed to look a bit confused for the first time as Raizen apparently offered himself up, she couldn't figure out what he was actually up to at this moment. Benihime on the other hand, allowed her hand to fall away from her Zanpakuto and instead allowed her left elbow to rest on it. "As you wish~" she said as she moved out of the way. "Really? Just gonna wait and see..." Akiko asked of the girl whose motivations had become even more unclear the longer she'd known her. "Yep, he always does interesting things, it will be worth spectating~" she said. Akiko had no argument for this so she did the same, offering the girl a black lollipop, as if she knew something were amiss but this was simply an educated guess.

    The men didn't seem to bother with whatever the women had to say and instead seemed pleased that Raizen had offered himself up. "Good, attacking a Captain is a completely separate crime and I didn't want to risk it," said the man as he held his sword before him. "Your death sentence will be carried out swiftly, since you were kind enough to comply," he said and would immediately move forward to do so, aiming to cut the man's head clean off with a single swipe of a katana from left to right. The other members of this crew surrounding the man and blocking the path of the two women should either of them have felt the need to interfere. But if one looked to Benihime she'd be sitting on the ground near her Captain's feet, a lollipop stick hanging out the corner of her mouth her chin propped up on her right knee as she watched with large red eyes. While Akiko stood next to her with her hand on her hip wondering if it was actually okay to just let this young man do whatever he wanted.
