• Are you afraid? • S huuhei shivered a little when Kizo donned her Hollow mask. No matter how many times he witnessed it, he would never really get used to it. He glanced at Kazue. She seemed alright for now, but Shuichi still hadn’t pulled his own mask down. He looked back in time to see his son do just that. Shuuhei’s smile remained in place, though there was a touch of sadness to it now that mirrored his son’s expression. He made no response to his son’s request. It wasn’t necessary. He had made a promise to himself after his children had been rescued. He would do everything necessary to make sure they were never senselessly hurt like this again – even if he had to die to do it. If he could lock them away somewhere safe, he would. But instead, he had to settle for just making them stronger. Day by day, little by little, he would help them grow.
He was pulled from his thoughts by a painfully tight grip on his hand. He turned to her, seeing that her eyes were distant and her breathing both shallow and rapid. “Zuzu-chan?” There was no response. He mentally cursed. She was probably having a flashback. He knew it was probably a bad idea to stay. His face set in a serious expression, he gently grabbed her chin and turned her head so that she was gazing him. Keeping his eyes locked on hers, started speaking softly. “Zuzu, listen to Papa. You need to snap out of it. Come on, baby girl. Wake up.” He patted her cheek lightly. “Papa is here for you, remember? Papa will keep you safe, no matter what. So come back to Papa, Zuzu-chan.” CODED BY ELECTRIC OF GANGNAM STYLE |

 Kizomaru could tell he was rushing things, probably thinking that it was better to hurry than take his time, but that might prove to be more of a problem than anything. She was able to easily block his next attack, which was a straight cut horizontally across her chest, keeping his sword locked with hers she used her other blade to swipe at his stomach, which got through. It was enough of an opening for her to be able to speak to him; she needed to warn him that pushing himself too much might give him more issues than do him good.
”Shuichi, you need to stop trying to rush the battle! Pushing yourself like this will do you more damage!” It seemed as though her warning fell on deaf ears seeing as he charged straight forward again, this time launching his blade forward in a thrust, aiming for her gut. He had to listen soon; otherwise this would quickly go south. She shunpo’d away from his attack and came up behind him, slashing across his back before returning to the front. She got a good look at his face, something wasn’t right…Was he already starting to lose control? ”Let me deal with the brat…He needs to be put in his place…” [/color] The familiar snarl of Niveous rang through her head, she wasn’t talking about Shuichi, but she was talking about the hollow within him. Kizomaru narrowed her eyes instinctively, as if looking directly at her inner hollow. ”No.”[/color] Was all she said in response, there was no way in hell she’d let her hollow deal with it. He still had a bit of control for now, it seemed, maybe he just wasn’t replying because he was focused on the fight. He charged her again, this time lunging to pierce her shoulder, which he managed to do. The wound wasn’t as deep as he would have liked, but it was a good enough hit for someone of his rank. He looked normal now, his face, maybe he did momentarily lose control over his hollow, but he seemed to have gained it back for now. She watched as her son shunpo’d to the beginning boundary of the training ground, he dropped to one knee. Was he simply just catching his breath? Or…Was he fighting his hollow?

Somebody get me through this nightmare Shuichi gripped his head in his hands, panting roughly; he fought to regain the control he had slowly been losing since he donned his mask, what the hell was going on? Normally he could keep himself in check longer than this, so why was he having such an issue now? His mother was right; rushing the training now was causing him more harm than good. He could hear the demonic laughter echoing in his head, taunting him; it was like a broken record.
”You can’t stop me…~ I’ll get free, and when I do, I’ll tear your family to shreds! And I’ll be starting with that bitch!” [/color] Vulnere snickered, the rough voice blaring in the young Shinigami’s head. The loud, booming laughter making him clutch his head in pain. ”You’ll be helpless, forced to watch as I make you rip out your mother’s lungs! What about your dear sister’s heart? I’ll make you hold her dying heart in your hand as she looks up at you with those doe eyes. ‘Why Nii-san? Why did you kill me? You promised you wouldn’t hurt me again’.”[/color] He laughed victoriously, howling almost, the images he had described were sickening. Shuichi growled to his hollow, and then he let out a loud roar of anguish as his hollow continued detailing how he would force him to murder each of his family members. Shuichi heard a faint voice calling to him, it was most likely Kizo, but he was drowning. Every time Vulnere spoke Shuichi was pulled further, deeper into the proverbial water his hollow held him under; until there was nothing left. Shuichi eventually stopped growling, falling completely silent, then he looked up with an almost blank expression; Shuichi now ceased to exist. It wasn’t long till that blank expression became a ferial grin, signaling that he had lost the control he fought so desperately to keep. Vulnere could hear Kizo calling to her son, and it only served to make him laugh. ”Sorry, Shuichi is away right now, but if you leave a message he’ll get back to you shortly.”[/color] Vulnere sneered, laughing triumphantly. He then launched himself at Kizomaru in a burst of speed, aiming a swing at her neck which she easily blocked. He then threw a kick her way which she took, it was more powerful than what it had been, but still not enough to send her flying. ”Come out bitch! Come out and fight me so I can take you down!”[/color] Vulnere called, speaking to Niveous, he then shunpo’d behind Kizomaru and swiped across her back, hoping to draw the hollow out soon.

Every painful second played in her head, a sick movie playing on repeat. It had looped twice now, the moment where Shuichi’s hollowfied forum lunged at her, and it would have looped again had Shuuhei’s soft voice not pulled her back. She blinked rapidly, slowly coming back to reality, her eyes now focused on her father.
She was back, her breathing calming and becoming more controlled. She loosened her grip on Shuuhei’s hand, but she still held it. ”…I’m sorry Papa…I…I thought I was going to be alright…” Kazue whispered, a tear slid down her cheek, she wasn’t sure if she was crying because of the flash back or because she felt like she let him down.
She locked her eyes on his, ignoring the battlefield for now, just focusing on him and trying her best to snap completely back to reality. It was just when she was finally one hundred percent back that she heard it; the loud roar of anguish from her brother, something was wrong. In worry she looked over to the battlefield just in time to see him go limp, what was going on? It wasn’t until she felt the reiatsu change in Shuichi that she knew, he was long gone.
She winced as her hollowfied brother launched himself at their mother, she heard him yelling at her, who was he talking too? Was he talking to their mother’s hollow? It was the only thing she could figure. What was she supposed to do? Was she supposed to call out to him? Right now her flight or fight instincts were screaming at her to run away and save herself but she fought them, it was terrifying to witness, but she wasn’t about to abandon her brother.
Rather than rush into the situation herself, she looked over to their father with a concerned expression, how was he going to handle the situation? ”Papa…Wh-What should we do..?” Kazue asked, clearly she was deeply frightened, but she was doing her best to fight the fear so she could do what she could if she could. She would try her best to help in any way she could, if she could, but right now she had no idea what to do.
It just won't fade away

• Are you afraid? • S huuhei let out a quiet sigh of relief as Kazue’s eyes slowly lost that distant look. Her breathing was stabilizing and, for the moment at least, she was no longer lost in her memories. One hand remained on her cheek while the other gently squeezed her hand. “It’s alright, Zuzu-chan.” He wiped the tear from her cheek with his thumb. “I said that balance was hard to find, didn’t I?” He continued to hold her gaze, knowing that it was probably the only thing keeping her grounded in reality right now. He kept running a thumb soothingly over the back of her hand, trying to say without words that he was just happy she was here with him and that he was here for her. For a while, the spar beside them was gone from his attention but it came screeching back into focus when he heard his son’s anguished cry. Shuuhei’s head jerked around to see Shuichi drop to his knee, gripping his head.
Shuuhei was on his feet before his son’s reiatsu had even changed. His hand wrapped around Kazeshini’s hilt as he felt the slimy reiatsu of his son’s Hollow. But he didn’t move just yet. He didn’t know much about how his son’s Hollow fought. It would be foolish to just leap in without any idea of what he was getting into. So he stood there, stamping down on the fear he always felt when he faced a Hollow. He watched the specter of his son attack Kizomaru, his teeth grit tight. She was holding up well under the assault, but that wasn’t Shuuhei’s concern. He knew her own control over her Hollow was imperfect. It was entirely possible that she’d lose control as well, especially if Shuichi’s Hollow continued provoking Niveous.
“Papa…Wh-What should we do..?” Shuuhei never took his eyes from the battle unfolding before him. He narrowed them slightly as he ran through the options. There was no guarantee that Kazue would be of much use in a fight against her brother and mother, but he also knew he couldn’t take them both on by himself. And Kazue hadn’t fled of her own accord yet. So perhaps… “Stand tall. Stand fast. And be ready for anything, Kazue,” he murmured, his eyes following the movements of both his son and his wife.

He was relentless, she couldn’t even get a word in edgewise with how tirelessly Vulnere was going after her, not like speaking would do much good right now; she just had to fight and hope he’d tire himself out soon. While the hollow had control of Shuichi and this was his strength being displayed he was still running on his host’s reserves, he wouldn’t be able to keep up for long. She began worrying about her own control, Vulnere’s constant taunts were irritating Niveous and that was making it harder to keep her imperfect control over her own hollow.
”That brat is seriously pissing me off! Let me deal with him!” The hollow growled, prompting only more refusal from Kizomaru which served to further Niveous’ irritation. Niveous kept insisting that she take over and deal with Vulnere but each time she was shot down, eventually it got to the point where Niveous just knocked Kizomaru unconscious and forced her to relinquish control. The only signs such a thing happened were the loud animalistic roar that spilled from Kizo’s mouth and the change in her reiatsu; Niveous was now in the driver’s seat.
Quickly intercepting Vulnere’s last attack Niveous grabbed the boy by his throat and squeezed hard, making him choke and gasp for breath. ”You’ve seriously pissed me off you miserable brat! And now I’m going to make you pay!” She growled viciously, lifting Vulnere off the ground where he stood by his neck and throwing him violently against the ground, possibly breaking bones. Vulnere stood up again and launched himself for her, but she quickly shunpo’d out of the way and stabbed him through his sword arm’s shoulder, making him drop his weapon. Once Vulnere was rendered weaponless Niveous smirked, stabbing him through each of his thighs before finally stabbing him through the torso, the blade piercing through his gut. While the wounds were not instantaneously fatal, if he was left alone too long the profuse bleeding would kill him. Niveous ripped the blade back through the hole she had made as she laughed victoriously, Vulnere was subdued and Shuichi’s mask broke off, freeing the boy from his hollow’s control. ”That’s what you get you worthless maggot, next time don’t be so stupid as to think you actually stand a chance against me.”[/color] Niveous spat, quite literally, spitting on the unconscious boy after her taunting had finished. With that battle finally over and Kizomaru to yet regain control, Niveous decided to take this opportunity to have a little more fun. She turned to what would no doubt be the shocked faces of Kizomaru’s family and gave a feral grin. She shunpo’d over to Kazue first, gripping the shocked girl’s chin in her hands and looking her dead in her terrified eyes. ”Look at you, all scared shitless. Right now I bet you’re trying to decide which of us you should be more afraid of, right? Let me tell you some people you should be more frightened of than us. ~”[/color] Niveous chuckled, never once breaking Kazue’s gaze or releasing her chin. She could feel the girl trembling even with so little contact, god did she enjoy it. "Leave her alone." Oh she heard Shuuhei, she just chose to ignore him. He probably wouldn't make a move to attack her anyhow, seeing as she was using his wife as a vessel. ”Let’s start with person number one; yourself. Why should you fear yourself you ask? Well the answer is simple, because you have your own demon growing inside of you. ~ That’s right Hun, you have a monster inside you just like us just waiting to wear your pathetic body and destroy everything you love. ~” [/color] Niveous laughed softly, just loving the fearful expression on the girl’s face as she spoke; it was obvious she was having fun. ”Once that demon gets strong enough it’s going to use your hands to kill everyone you have ever cared for; your Mommy, Daddy, and of course your dear brother. But I bet it you would like to have revenge against him right? For hurting you back in there...For shedding your blood with his own hands…To take his as payment would be delicious wouldn’t it?”[/color] Grinning as she spoke, she bet that if she kept it up she could probably make Kazue wet herself. ”Now the next person you should be frightened of…Is your dear old Papa there.”[/color] Niveous released Kazue’s cheek to point over at Shuuhei, looking to him the back at her as she walked over towards him. She saw him narrow his eyes and heard his warnings of leaving his precious daughter alone, but she simply rolled her eyes in return and continued her torturing. ”How is Papa scary? Well you see, even though he doesn’t have a hollow like me or that trash over there…He’s still got his own issues…See, he’s just as much a demon as us. He might not show it but he can be one vicious little bastard when he wants to be. Trust me I know, being trapped inside your mother I can watch everything she does. I’ve seen how your father fights and MAN is he brutal.”[/color] Niveous looked over at Shuuhei to see his reaction, man did he look furious, yet held back at the same time. She could swear his gaze was murderous, but she knew he was holding himself back because he couldn't harm his little wife. Not only was Shuuhei fed up, so was another certain someone…But she had yet to recover enough to take back her body. ”He’s vicious enough to make a Hollow proud. ~ He’ll deny it of course; he doesn’t like people knowing the truth about him. About how he secretly longs to leave a trail of blood in his wake, how he would just love to tear his enemy limb from limb and listen to them scream as he pulls them apart slowly.”[/color] Niveous turned to Shuuhei now, smirking over at him in victory as she noticed Kazue fall to her knees out of shock and horror. ”Isn’t that right Shuuhei? You’d love to bathe in your enemy’s blood wouldn’t you?”[/color] She laughed, turning back to the frightened Kazue now who had tears streaming down her face. "That is a lie." She heard him retort, voice low, almost snarling at the beast. His words didn't seem to matter, Kazue was still a broken mess, too far gone to probably hear her father's words. The fact he wasn't moving to physically made it all the easier to play on the lie she had been telling. ” Your daddy is a monster too, a vicious, cold hearted monster just like us. ~”[/color] She continued laughing, elation coursing through her veins as she basked in the negative emotions she was feeling roll off of everyone present. She would have continued to taunt, her mouth open as if ready to speak, but she was cut off by Kizo fighting to take back control over her body. The battle took all of about five minutes, with groans of pain coming from a mixed voice, before Kizo gained just enough control to ram one of her blades through her own stomach. She coughed up blood, her hollow mask broke and she finally had full control over herself. She made sure her wound didn’t hit anything automatically fatal, but she also made sure that it caused enough damage to potentially be. If Niveous had killed her son, with her hands, then Kizomaru would die by her own tainted blade as well. ”I-I…..I’m so sorry that…ngh….That you…Had to witness ugh…That….That you….Had to…” She twisted the blade in her stomach before pulling it out, collapsing onto her knees. ”That you had…To see this…To hear...Her….Lies…I….I am so-sorry…” Her breathing was in short, ragged puffs of air. It was obvious she was pained, but more so over the events that had taken place than by her own self-inflicted wound. Her son might die, her daughter was more of a wreck than she needed to be, everything that had been done to help her was undone in those few moments of lost control. After she had finished speaking, tears pouring from her eyes, she fell unconscious on the ground in the blood which piled beneath her. They would need to get a medical team over here soon, or both mother and son would die. [/justify][/color] [/div][/div][/center] |

She nodded a response to her father as she watched her hollowfied brother and their mother duke it out with wide eyes, her hand had instinctively gone to the hilt of her own zanpakuto, she knew she couldn't do much herself but she would try if she had to. For a moment it looked like everything would be fine, that this would be over as soon as Shuichi's body was tired, but when Kazue felt her mother's reiatsu change and heard that cry she knew things had just gotten worse.
She just stood there in shock as she watched her hollowfied mother attacked her hollowfied brother with such viciousness she feard for his life, watching as hit after hit landed and was horrified when Niveous had finally knocked Shuichi unconscious and spit on his body. She couldn't move as Niveous came towards her, too quickly for her father to intercept, and she just starred with a terrified gaze into her mother's hollowfied eyes.
For what felt like an eternity Kazue stood there and listened as the hollow told her about how she had her own demon inside of her, and about how it was just waiting for the right time to take her over and use her hands to kill her entire family. At least she didn't go into sickening detail about how those acts could take place, but what she had said was doing enough of a job leaving her shaking in her boots.
When Niveous began talking about how she should fear her father that's when she really broke, tears streamed down her face as she tried not to listen. It wasn't true was it? Her father didn't secretly want to disembowle whoever he fought with did he? She only knew him to be a kind man, the man who was supposed to protect her from harm to the best of his abilities. The man who had just held her hand through a painful flash back....There was no way he was the monster she was saying he was, was there?
Niveous had said she'd seen her father fight through her mother's eyes...Then...There was some truth there....She looked over at her father with her wide eyes, terrifed and in shock. She finally dropped to her knees sobbing quietly. arms wrapped around herself as she cried. She was broken once more, all that hard work to put her pieces back together and she had been shattered again in less then fifteen minutes.
She didn't look up again until she heard signs of Kizo fighting with her hollow, unfortunately she looked up just in time to see Kizomaru ram herself with her own blade. "NOOOOO!!" She screamed, watching her mother cough up blood as she forced herself to speak. The sight only served to further undo her progress. She listened to her mother but just couldn't find the words to reply, she was set in shock now, petrified and unable to so much as breath right. Short pants escaped her lips, she only sobbed louder when she watched Kizomaru fall face down in her own blood and fall unconscious.
It was all too much for her to bare, if she could have shut her eyes she would have, but she was frozen in place. The only thing she could manage was turning her gaze over at her father, a look of nothing but fear on her face. She didn't speak, just gave him a terrified look. her eyes almost appeared to be asking; 'Why didn't you stop this..?' It just won't fade away

• Are you afraid? • S huichi sat there thinking about the potential different outcomes of this match, most obviously one of them would lose; the question was how badly would they be beaten up at the end of this fight? They were both lower ranking members and not quite as strong as everyone else, but he knew Shiro was two seats above him and there for stronger, so the odds were he would wind up the more bruised and broken out of the two. The best either of them could hope for; was a quick end to the match. It was then that Shuichi heard Shiro call out a kido, and not just any kido, hado number fourteen. Shit! So, that was his plan, not bad.
Shuuhei watched horrified as Vulnere kept taunting and attacking Kizo, he knew it wouldn’t be long before the latter hollowfied the more Vulnere kept this up; he held his faith though, that his wife would be fine. It helped, till he watched as she hollowfied before his eyes. Shit! Now it was officially the worst case scenario, something he knew he had to deal with quickly. Unfortunately Niveous’ defeat of Vulnere was far too quick for him to intervene in anyway, and that greatly upset him. When Niveous turned her attention to Kazue Shuuhei warned her to leave the girl be but it seemed his words fell on deaf ears, and once more she moved to quickly for Shuuhei to throw himself in between the two. Dammit, how the hell was he supposed to handle this? Obvious answer would be some kind of bakudo, but as he went through his choices some of them were either too dangerous to attempt or too weak to hold the hollow back. It would be easy for Niveous to shake off the effects of Geki, and something as strong as Shitai Neji would do damage should Niveous resist. There was also the option of knocking her unconscious, but given his little knowledge of hollowfication he wasn’t sure it was a good idea to knock them out, after all Kizo was fighting too.
By the time he had gone through his choices and decided that there was only one certain thing he could do, it was already too late; Niveous had begun spewing her lies to Kazue…Well, maybe there was truth behind Kazue potentially having her own demon to deal with, but the rest Niveous was telling her was all a lie. A lie that Shuuhei had no idea where it came from, maybe Kazeshini was the reason. Once more Shuuhei told Niveous to leave her be but he was ignored once more, and when Niveous got close Shuuhei readied himself for what he was going to do, hand on the hilt of Kazeshini in preparation. However she didn’t stick around for long and Shuuhei cursed, he’d missed his chance while that beast was away from someone she could have potentially used as a hostage to prevent him from doing anything. All he could do was sit and watch, albeit to his dismay, he wanted to help but without using violent force (something he outright refused to use on any of his family regardless of the circumstances) there wasn’t much; Niveous was too quick for him to counter.
Lost in his thoughts and distress, Shuuhei only pulled himself back from his mind in time to watch Kizo not only take back control of her inner hollow, but to stab herself through the gut with her own zanpakuto. What the hell was she thinking?!?! Sure, she was now in control and no longer able to do any damage, but did she have to do that to herself? His eyes widened before narrowing once more, blaming himself in some sense. If he had done something, anything, and if that damn demon wasn’t quick enough to escape him right when he had the chance to do the one thing he felt was best, maybe this all would have been prevented. ”Kizo!” He called in his shock, only to have no response.
Looking from his now unconscious wife, to his unconscious son, to his terrified daughter; it was all too much to deal with in such a short amount of time. Kazue’s progress was pretty much ruined, and he felt so horrible with the way he looked at her like that, he could only look away in shame; he hated how useless he felt during the whole ordeal. He didn’t dwell long though, he called a Hell Butterfly and sent a message for Squad Four to come ASAP, he made desperate note of the gravity of the situation and stressed that they could die if they didn’t come fast enough. With that taken care of, he went over to his broken daughter and knelt down in front of her. He took her into his arms, but she flinched when he did so and it hurt to know that his own daughter was now terrified of him. Despite though, he was able to embrace her, trying his best to calm her as she sobbed in his arms.
Once some Squad Four officers arrived, which wasn’t too much longer after he sent the message out, Shuuhei watched as they treated the rest of his family on site before loading them into stretchers and taking them away. One of the officers informed them that, though they were seriously wounded, they would live. Shuichi however, might be comatose for a day or two, given the significant amount of blood he had lost. Nodding gravely, Shuuhei plucked his daughter up into his arms, cradling her as he followed the officers off the Division Two training grounds and towards the Squad Four barracks.
