A Little Peace, pt 2

[Shoshi Ana]

Hearing them yelling and then someone alerting them she was on the run had her gasping as she looked ahead trying to push herself, she was good at sprinting short distance but long not so much she would much rather swim it but she was not going to slow down or she hoped not as she ran up the stairs and caused an explosion before she kept running for her life.

She had heard the explosion behind her and glanced over she didn’t know if it would hold them, they were bloody strong after all and might get out so she didn’t want to be around if they did get out because she knew they’d be coming for her and the others, not good at all of course she didn’t want to leave until she was certain the enemy could be beaten she didn’t want this following them back home if it could be avoided at all.

Looking ahead again she almost ran into Ichigo having to slid to a halt falling over and just sat there for a few moments taking in a few deep breaths. Looking up she saw Ichigo’s orange hair before she scrambled to her feet. “I almost got killed that’s what almost happened” she said frowning which was true, she glanced back over her shoulder “I did cave in their exit though so should hold them off for a bit…” she added trailing off before she looked back to Ichigo “Ah right, come on” she added running past him to the hide out again. They needed answers and she wanted to make sure the three were ok, something strange had hit Ukei and she wanted to know what it had done to him exactly.

Glancing over to Ichigo she noticed he seemed a lot better “You got answers then I’m guessing?” she asked him, at least he was up and running again which was a good sign but hopefully he’d gotten some answers too about what had happened to him exactly and had it all sorted out. So when they reached the building Ana walked through the door before resting for a moment, she felt really weak and tired but she had to keep strong because they still had stuff to do, she had no time to rest. “Hey Ukei you ok?” Ana asked though couldn’t help but wonder where this guy was so she could get some answers out of him one way or another especially seeing as his buddies wanted her powers.

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Ichigo looked to Ana as she stood and fell he suddenly heard the explosion before he widened his eyes and then noticed she had stood up and walked passed ''What did you do now'' he began but he was glad those guys were sealed away give them a headstart they'd be back he knew.

He nodded and followed on behind hearing ask if he got everything sorted ''Yeah...had an interesting conversation but ill tell you later'' he said as he had remembered Ukei had been hit by something he walked inside to see Ukei sitting down Nel by his side. She looked at Ichigo with some worry before he approched Ukei. ''I'll be ok'' Ukei began as Ana asked him ''Well my reaitsu's almost completly gone'' he began to Ichigo who looked in disbeleif ''No...your fine shut up you still gotta get us out of here'' he said. Ukei smirked a little ''This as far as i can go...they'll probably come here...they'll find us and kill me....i cant fight'' he said. ''Like hell were gonna let those guys kill you they'll have to get through us first'' he said but even at the end of Ichigo's words he didnt sound all that confident they could out do these guys. ''They cant take my soul...Zangetsu told me they cant recognise my soul or something...they will have a hard tim trying to take it because its hollow and human and shinigami so even if they try to come back for us...they cant stop me'' he began.

''Thats not gonna stop them long they know that were close by'' Ukei began ''There gonna come looking so we should make a move an keep on moving till we can find a safe place to give us enough time for Ana to make a portal back to the living world'' he said. The two arracars frowned ''No!!'' the male one said ''You cant just leave us here!'' he said.

[Shoshi Ana]

She glanced back and made a small face smiling slightly before looking back to Ichigo and told him to come along. They didn’t have time to linger around out here… well she didn’t know how much time they had really. Hearing Ichigo would give her the details later she simply nodded her head, she did expect details because let’s face it if Ichigo was out of the game she’d have to step it up more which was fine but if something was wrong with him she expected to know what it was so she could help out the best way she could.

Ana glanced to Nel spotting that look she was giving Ichigo and frowned before looking to Ukei and knelt down before him. How was his reaitsu almost gone, they could get it back right! Oh maybe if they got him to Soul Society or something like that or to Urahara then he could get all fixed up. No there had to be a way for him to get better again, for him to get his reaitsu back. She simply listened to Ukei and Ichigo before she huffed and flicked Ukei between the eyes “No quitting talk ok… or I’ll end you myself you idiot. Who gives a shit if you’re losing your reaitsu we’ll find a way to get it back ok… so stop talking like it’s already over you still have your arms and legs, you can still fight so suck it up already… me and Ichigo won’t let them kill you ok and no way am I letting you die on us Soul Society will be down our necks” she said though didn’t slap Ukei like she would have with other people she simply gave him a small smile but if he was simply going to give up then she’d punch some sense into him.

She glanced over to Ichigo and smirked a little “You know you just made yourself sound like some really big freak” she added holding back some laughter though frankly she couldn’t really move her face without her chin and cheek hurting from the punch, she could just see the bruise she was going to get. Though her attention drew to the arrancars and then Ukei. “We’re not going anywhere, we have a witness, we’re getting answers and I don’t think running home will help us just yet… they could follow us, so get some rest and tell me where this jerk off is so I can make him scream” she added frowning, if he the guy Ukei had gotten wasn’t going to give her answers she’d find a way to make him scream.

Ana looked to the arrancars “If you still want to help you can keep an eye out if you like… or make sure this dumb ass doesn’t do anything stupid” she added pointing to Ukei before she stood up again looking for this captive.

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Ukei smirked slowly as Ana flicked him ''Heh heh oh no this isnt giving up...im far from finished...but i do know all about working as a team with all the errands and tasks he had to go through. ''Ive lived for over 400 years ivr had more near death experiances than both of your 17 years put together'' he chuckled. ''This is a good time to pull together i can leave the interogation to you and Ana when that guy comes to then'' he said to Ichigo.

Ichigo frowned and then nodded ''If the sorry excuse does eve wake up'' he said and then looked to Ana hearing her mention on how much of a freak he sounded after he explained. ''What was that!! got something to say!!'' Ichigo suddenly snapped as Ana before he smirked a little. It was true maybe not quite a freak but he's race and being was still unknown the idea of not being something human worried him but he had a feeling one day who or what he really was would become clear and he probably wasnt going to beleive it but he'd have to until then just being human was good enough.

Ichigo nodded in agreement to not run they should stay and get to the bottom of this while they had the chance to interogate. ''Alright then...we stay...if those guys find us we can fight them off easy'' he said and then looked to Nel and then at the hostage they had. Ichigo looked at him with a suspicious look as he leaned on his elbow before he stood up walking towards the guy laying there and crouching beside him. Ichigo suddenly pulled back a fist and slammed it towards the guy's head before he suddenly rolled letting Ichigo's fist hit the ground where he once could of been. ''Knew it'' Ichigo began seeming like the guy was faking his unconciousness as the guy sat up ''Start talking you piece of shit!'' Ichigo demanded. The guy smirked ''Ha! i dont have to say anything!'' he snapped.

[Shoshi Ana]

Ana frowned, well it sounded like he was giving up in her mind at least, she hated it when people talked like that it was like they saw no hope left in the world and couldn’t give two shits if they lived or not. Though she blinked as her eyes went wide, wait he was, 400… no he was older than 400 years old… seriously he didn’t act like it at all. “Oh I’m not 17…” she said shaking her head before frowning “Dude… you’re old” she added looking back to him before realising she might have insulted him “Oh I don’t mean for that to sound rude… I just… ah never mind… but no more sorry talk stuff ok” she added.

Of course she had to admit Ichigo did sound like a freak when she thought back on his words and when he snapped at her her jaw dropped “Ah… I… no… just well the way you said it… ah never mind” she said shaking her head no point even bothering to try explain herself there would probably only lead to the two yelling at one another before she got up to find this guy and get some answers.

She frowned at Ichigo as he went to punch the guy to see him roll which had her tilting her head to the side before she sighed. Of course this wasn’t going to be easy, why would it be easy, when was anything ever easy. Grumbling something to herself she knelt down before the guy and grabbed him by the collar glaring at him “Listen up you slim bag. I don’t appreciate people trying to eat me or my friends, you pissed off the wrong group buddy and now” she said leaning closer to him as her hands gripped his shirt more “You’re going to tell me everything we want to know or I’m going to teach you the meaning of pain. This will be your only warning… so if you had any shred of a brain you’d answers the man’s questions” she added letting him go and rested her hands on her lap watching him before glancing to Ichigo and nodded her head, did he have any questions he wanted to ask the guy or was it all going to have to be her, wait Ukei wanted answers of some sort right?

“Hey Ukei… what was it you wanted him to squeal exactly?” she asked over her shoulder looking to their victim as she smirked a little at him. She didn’t want to kill him but if hurting him is what they had to do to get answers out him then she was ok with that, making her brother squeal was an easy enough task, how much different could it be with this guy.

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Ukei only smirked at Ana ''Oh well close enough right?'' he said when she spoke of not being 17 ''Well dont worry i know im old i just dont look it i hope'' he smiled. Ukei had been in this game for a very long time he had learnt all his life lessons back when he was a human in the living world he had learned all he needed before dying and passing on to the afterlife where he became a zero squad member years of hard work and dedication got him where he was so he had experiances in bucket loads something Ichigo needed.

Ichigo had clearly taken offence to what Ana had said but everyone knew what he could be like he didnt think before he opened his mouth but still his sharp temper had come through there. But he paused blinked a few times as he looked more surprised seeing how Ana took his sudden outburst before he regretted how he reacted. ''Uh...just...think it next time!'' he quickly said something to end it before he turned his attention to the guy pretending to be unconcious.

The guy was sat up right and he leaned forwards to try and stand up but Ana was there to stop him and order him to co-operate or they would do what they had to, to get answers. He smirked ''You think i'd tell you!! i would rather die!!'' he yelled loudly so that his voice echoed through the old and worn building. Ichigo scowled ''With pleasure you little shit!'' he snapped as Ana still had hold of him explaining how he had to talk and answer any questions they had before she let him go and allowed either Ichigo or Ukei to question him. Ichigo looked to Ukei ''You can question him i just wanna beat him to a pulp'' hehe said Ukei nodded then looked to Ana as she asked what it was he needed to hear. Ukei slowly stood up his reaitsu had vanished but he still had his strength at least. He knelt beside him. ''I want to know what you are...'' he began the guy looked at him with a frown ''.....You dont need to know that...'' he said.

[Shoshi Ana]

Ana shook her head “Nah you had me fooled, I thought you might have been a younger Shinigami not an older one…” she said, well he was not old her was really old, 400, who was 400. Heck she knew Yamamoto was old and all but still 400 was old in her mind it was no wonder why people joined the Soul Society it gave them a purpose, it gave them something to do other than sit around doing nothing. Well she had no idea what souls did exactly but still.

Ana looked to Ichigo and frowned a little at him, he should know better really she just always had something to say whenever he said something, well not all the time but normally he said something and her mind acted, words formed and they were already out there plus she had no idea he had been joking, she didn’t mean to offend him, she just found it amusing that was all. Ana let out a sigh pretending to strangle Ichigo when he was not looking before she went over to the guy and knelt down, she wasn’t going to let him get away, no bloody way.

She made a small face when he yelled, what was the point in yelling exactly. She simply let him go and glanced to Ichigo before Ukei and smirked a little at Ichigo’s words, she had to admit it was a tempting idea indeed but she rather not break her wrist or hand in the process. Her attention grew back to the guy and glared when he didn’t answer Ukei’s question. “Wrong answer” Ana said forming a shield before him “Want to try again...” she said letting her shield hover before him as it zoomed around his head resting near his ear. Ana kept her eye on it, she knew what she wanted to do she’d give this guy one chance before she’d make him bleed “So… what are you?” she asked him tilting her head to the side a little as the shield tilted also, it was not very big, about the size of her hand and she had small hands, her eyes flickered to the guy as they narrowed “You have 5 seconds to answer the question, five… four…” she stated counting down as her concentration drew back to the shield.

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Ukei smiled at Ana ''Oh i like you now'' he said when she thought he was a younger shinigami that was the beauty of being able to age very slowly you could live hundreads of years and you'd look in your 20's when it got to Yamamoto he looked alot older Ukei knew Yamamoto was over 1000 years old you didnt get to be head captain without a long time spent in it. It was ture that age meant wisdom and experiance meant more power in the shinigami business which was why they looked down on Ichigo he was a kid with no authority and no experiance trying to invade Soul Society it was a good job Ichigo had a 'i dont care' attitude or he'd of never got as far as he did now.

Ichigo was focused on their hostage before he paused frowned and looked over his shoulder catching Ana making a gesture behind his back as if to strangle him he narrowed his eyes but smirked a little because he had caught her. He gathered it was because of his snappy responses he wasnt sensitive to comments like he could ever be! it made him frown no way was he gonna let a comment get to him or was he!

Ichigo looked about ready to go in a kill that guy but Ukei sighed ''Ichigo we cant kill him no matter how much of an ass he's being we need information'' he said. Ichigo backed down for now at least. Ukei watched as Ana threatened the guy with a sheild when he refused to answer. The guy looked at Ana with wide eyes as he see her sheild ''Kill me!!'' he suddenly said. Ichigo frowned this guy had no value for his own life he'd really just wanna die here. ''Fool'' Ichigo muttered. He heard the countdown Ana was giving him he shifted uncomfortable ''I cant tell you!! they'll have my head if i did'' he suddenly said.

[Shoshi Ana]

Ana made a small face before laughing a little and then turned trying to choke an invisible Ichigo though she spotted him look over his shoulder and she stopped mid-air simply watching him for a moment, man she’d never been caught before! Her face went red and she hunched forwards stupid Ichigo she thought to herself before sitting beside him to listen to this guy’s pathetic excuses she started counting down giving him a chance.

The guy seemed a little freaked out, good. She narrowed her eyes down as she continued to count down. When she got down to one he said he couldn’t tell them or they’d have his head. Ana simply sighed “Wrong answer… again” she said looking up to him almost apologetic as she raised two fingers before lowering them quickly as the shield cut through his shoulder before it faded away and she looked to him, the enemy might have his head if he squealed but she wanted answers, they all did and Ana moved forwards a little, either he’d give his college his head or she’d take… not really she wasn’t going to chop his head off but she did want to watch him suffer, breaking him might be the only way to get answers.

Leaning forwards a little Ana looked to him as she formed another shield in her hand “Did you know I could kill you without touching you… if I wanted to… beheading is such a messy business” she said almost like an evil grin had crossed her face though she was simply acting, trying to be scary to make him shake in his boots. She whispered to him her words slightly dark as she eyed him closely so he’d get the message. “I’ll let you in on a little secret… forming a shield is easy but getting it inside the body is not so easy. If there is no wound I imagine the shield passing into your body would be like force of wind passing through you but if there is a wound you don’t feel a thing... well that is for a moment. Eventually you’ll start to feel something inside you, like a beetle buzzing in your ear working its way around your body…” she added letting her fingers wander up in arms and neck invading his space before pulling her hand to herself again “it’s like an itch under the surface you just can’t reach… and the great thing is I can make it target whatever I want it to. I can crack your ribs, suffocate you, apply the slightest bit of pressure to your heart to make you think you’re having a heart attack, why I could work it into your brain and break your skull with no problem at all. Oh yes cutting you up, blowing you up from the inside is an easy enough task. Oh don’t worry though I’ll make it painful for you and slow… I know you guys love that. Before the sun rises you’ll be bleeding from the inside out… I assure you that” she said flicking her finger as the shield headed for his wound, a tiny little round thing about the size of a 5cent coin, it was as small as she could make them at the moment. “There won’t be anything for your buddies to rip apart… but if you answers our questions I can make the pain go away and I’ll even give you a head start” she added smiling a little “Because I can be a nice person… but hey the choice is yours.”

She leaned back and watched him raising her fingers again and pulled them towards her, she only had to flick them out for the shield to enter the wound as she eyed the guy “Are you going to tell us what you are?” she questioned him rather calmly just to give him some hope or whatever it was he needed right now… of course she’d suck it from him within seconds if he didn’t answer the question.

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Ichigo scowled towards Ana after she had been caught red handed ''Oh so thats what you do behind my back is it!'' he began he had never really caught her doing anything like that he was glad he did this time he'd pay more attention when his back was to her now he smirked a little at the idea oh he'd catch her out many time now.

Ichigo sighed however at this guy persistance to not spill anything his boss would have his head and so would they if he didnt talk it was up to him did he want his own kind to kill him or his enemy at least he would of died by an enemy's hand and not his suposed own comrades that would just be shameful. ''Look your gonna die either way so you might awell spill it!'' Ichigo demanded before he seen Ana had made her sheild cut the guy's shoulder he just stared at Ana as he got cut showing no pain or remorse for anything so far. ''I dont care!'' he shouted.

The guy then listened to all of Ana's threatening words he widened his eyes taking it all in, it didnt seem like a nice way to go but he remembered all what his comrades had said about spilling information they were going to be deemed a traitor and be sentanced to hell and death itself. Once Ana had explained what they could do to him he looked at Ana Ichigo and then Ukei and then down to the floor. ''Im gonna die either way am i...'' he began. ''You dont need to know what we are...your precious world will know what we are when we devour all of you...you all think you can survive this next invasion...your wrong...none of us will were going after the Soul King...and if he dies we all die'' he said. Ukei widened his eyes ''NO!'' he spoke up. ''Why on earth would you want to perish along with the Soul King...he cannot die...my division will make sure of it'' he said.
