Hana shrugs at the mention of the angel being curious about why. "I think... Our true story would draw sympathy so long the individuals aren't wronged by those two destroying that town, or any future town." She decides they can worry about it after they actually find a wingless angel. Since they didn't stop for food, she looks around the forest. She's seen the kid's appetite. They may not satisfy him, but she spots a bushes of sweet berries in the distance. She darts ahead a little ways to where they are. Berry after berry is picked off one of the bushes. "If you guys are hungry, these berries are sweet." She approaches Yurei after a handful of berries are in her hand. "He's ok to have berries, right?" She remembers the dinner he ate, but she double checks before giving the kid berries. She alternates between eating some herself and letting Kurogane grab some for himself. He loves them apparently as he devours them, chewing with a feint smile on her face.
Kouga looks to the others as they discuss, but he remains silent as they settle on combing through the forest. They've been on the move from the start of their arrival here. It's fun, but he could imagine the exhaustion, especially for those like Grimmjow with the stress and having Kurogane indefinitely while Akira is tormented by the virus into forgetting even her own son. Still, he doesn't pass up berries. He's more than happy to have a bit of fuel for the road. He has to let go of Yurei, but it's only so he can get a handful for her as well. He nibbles berry after berry in one hand while the other offers some to Yurei since her hands are full with Kurogane.
Kyo laughs as Erza mentioned Ichigo and Akira's affinity for destruction. He places a large hand on her shoulder. "Look at it this way. At least we don't need to worry about them being killed." He worries for the innocent people too, but he can't deny that he has no worry of them dying while he runs around to collect the ingredients. "We will have to move as fast as we can and hope they don't move around destroying too many places and people." He looks as Hana darts ahead, wondering what she's doing until he notices the sweet-smelling berries. Berries aren't his thing, but he's willing to try one. He eats it with an impassive face. It's definitely something Erza might like. Thinking this, he plucks a few off to hand them to the redhead. "Try them. They're good."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She smirks at Takuya. "I'd like to see that. This Nise in action... Or Hana robbing from him." She's serious about the second part. Something about a thief stealing from another thief sounds amazing, especially when both claim to be as talented as they are. "Aizen?" Grimmjow gets a brief, confused look from Cider. "That's the guy Ichigo killed when we were in his world... Never would've pegged him as having expensive taste." All the same, she keeps her head down as Ichigo heads down the stairs. She only looks up when a large hand is on her shoulder to see Grimmjow. He's right. She shoudnt be down right now. That won't get Ichigo back. It will be incredibly hard, but she should keep track of them as well as the others. The last time they showed themselves, Ichigo and Akira had the intentions of blowing up a town. What's their goal for going to this ball tonight. "Oi, I better not be the only one doing the mingling here," she tells him with a smirk on her face. She's still not over being so close to her lost love, but she can stifle it for the time being. The little spirit angel delves I to the crowd to start socializing. Very swift and subtle glances are occasionally thrown, though not directly at Ichigo and Akira. No, she's just keeping them in her line of sight. She wanted to throw up when Ichigo
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
While Ichigo as busy noticing the group from before, Akira observes the crowd. Those looking in awe all show promise to be one of their captains. They need people to act out of loyalty to them, not fear like some of the faces she sees. Red eyes briefly land on Grimmjow, and he's met with a cold gaze the split second she looks his way. He's strong, but he'd never be one of the captains as long as she has a say. To Ichigo, she says, "So long they don't pester us again, I think I'll let them be." 'I think' is key there. More like so long they keep out of her sight, theyll be safe. The mention of making it living hell does tempt her though. She looks curiously to Ichigo, wondering what he has in store when he plants his lips on hers in a soft kiss. Of course, she kisses back. For one, she enjoys it. Also, it'll rub their relationship in that Cider's face. She follows his lead onto the dance floor, a smile spreading on her viral-infested face as she gets what she wanted. "Yes, I'd love that," she answers him both to giving the three living hell and to the dancing. She follows his lead with seamless, graceful strides matching his every step.

Yurei shrugs as Hana points out that the truth would probably be best. However, she tilts her head upon watching the young woman dart forward and to a bush where she stops and takes multiple somethings off of it. What she returns with are berries that are apparently sweet. She pauses in thought for a moment as she's asked if Kurogane can have the fruits, and ends up nodding, "He should be fine," she's yet to see him not be fine from any sort of food he's eaten. She can't help but find the boy adorable as he nibbles away on the berries, grabbing them from Hana and filling his tummy as needed. She in turn takes the berries that Kouga offers her, her lips half playfully, half accidentally brushing against his fingers as if I'm reading what you've put down correctly, he's feeding her while she carries Kurogane. "These are really good, Hana. What are they called?" She'd love to get her hands on some more when she has the chance. Though as their journey goes on well into the night and early morning, she can see that the moon is- let's just say to make things a bit easier- completely new, leaving the sky without a white ball in the sky. "Looks like we can search as we go," she suggests. By this time, let it be known that Ichigo, Akira and the others are at the ball just so that we know where everyone stands in accordance to one another. However, she doesn't find anything. And when she mentions this, it confuses Erza.
Erza smiles at the cute sight of the line of people sharing the berries. With her newly found feelings out and the open- to just herself that is- she finds herself wanting to try the whole 'guy feeding girl' thing Kouga and Yurei are doing and see how it goes. However, as her relationship with Kyo stands at the moment, it'd be weird. Maybe if she's lucky, she'll manage to tell him her feelings, and if they're returned then they can try that. For now she'll have to deal with just friendship sharing instead of lover sharing. "Thanks," she offers a bright smile to the dragon, and pops one into her mouth. One breaking chew of the berry is all that's needed for sweet flavor she's never tasted before to explode onto her tongue. Her eyes widen before closing in bliss, while a wider and pleased smile occurs. "Mmmmm," she moans out lowly, "This are amazing!" Seriously! She's gonna have to take a whole bunch with her to the next worlds- maybe even put a plant of them in her pocket dimension. Her brows furrow as when they search for the flower, she finds nothing as well, though Yurei announces her thoughts first. "I haven't found anything either....Are we looking in the wrong area?" They're close to Yaktus, she can see buildings in the far distance. So maybe they can ask someone about the flowers? Unfortunately, the Land of the Demons is a place where people like Grimmjow and Horosha thrive; people that are harsh, straight forward, and unwavering. Meaning, unknown to her very open prejudice is headed their way.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Grimmjow nods upon Cider's statement about Aizen and his death by Ichigo's hand. "Yea, he was the leader of the Hollow army, more specifically we Espada," talking about the man brings back memories Grimmjow realizes aren't that long ago. Damn. None the less, he continues, "The outside of Las Noches was plain, but the inside was pretty regal". He watches Cider as the girl works to compose herself after seeing Kurosaki, and finds himself pleased as she manages to do just as she aimed to. However, his eyes widen and his tan skin becomes a bit more pale, "What the hell, you're leaving me here?! I don't wanna 'mingle'!!" He shouts after her, almost desperate enough to walk after her and stick to her side. However, he's not quite that desperate thanks to his manly pride. So off he goes to get a drink and keep to himself for the time being. Unlike Cider, Grimmjow keeps his gaze glued to Akira, though not on purpose. A low growl rolls in his throat as he sees Ichigo kiss the Angel deeply, making the former Espada clench his glass and easily break it in his hand without even thinking about it. Guests around him jump in surprise that he managed to break the glass so easily, as glasses in these lands are made of a special mineral that even most powerful demons have trouble breaking with as little effort as Grimmjow used. And remain unharmed completely, at that. None the less, his hand is cleaned up by a servant, as is the liquid he spilled, before a new drink is delivered to him. His blue eyes follow Akira's lovely frame as it glides across the dance floor each time Kurosaki leads her into a new movement. Bastard should get his hands off of Akira.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He can feel Grimmjow's angry glare in his back as he kisses the Angel, and smirks just before separating her. Oh? Is someone jealous? Cute. Ichigo chuckles at Akira's double answer as she takes his hand and allows him to lead her into the first movement of the dance that opens the ball. Nise has yet to appear, however Ichigo expects him to show around half way through. Word of his and Akira's arrival is sure to be spread fully through out the ball by then at the least. And what kind of fox would Nise be if he wasn't at least a little curious like his cousin demon 'breed' the cat. All the same, like any waltz, it starts out slow and a bit drawn out before becoming faster, urging the movements to be still fluid and flowing but not as drawn out. This opening dance is boring to Ichigo, however he has fun leading his Angel through the steps and watching her lovely frame spin and turn in perfect timing with his own. Oh how he'd love to tango with her. Now THAT would be a riot. "I think I'll break that Cider girl a bit more this evening," he tells Akira as they finish their dance and he leads the way off the floor- unless she wants to keep on dancing, then he'll just talk as they dance. "It would be fun to see her light up like a fire and then be snuffed out by the smallest of breezes," he continues with a smirk. "Is that okay with you?" After all, he doesn't want to make a move on Cider without getting Akira's consent lest he anger his Angel.

Hana laughs as Kurogane gobbles up the berries. "You still don't look old enough to comprehend stuff, and yet you seem to understand situations well," she observes as he continues to eat berries, getting happier as those around him do because of the berries. To Yurei, she says, "They're yuki berries. They're usually found in colder places of the land, but they can survive in warmer climates like this one. Someone likely planted this hear at one point, and it's grown into these bushes of berries." She pops the last ones in her mouth by the time the search for the plant is underway. She fangs out along with the others. The plant mentioned isn't all they uncommon. They should be able to find it before the night ends with the five of them. She searches and searches, but not one of the plant mentioned is in sight. As time passes, she frowns. They should have found one by now. She looks to the others as they mention not finding anything. "Maybe someone's taken them. If the plant does exist, it should be around where we've looked, so that's a possibility with demon civilization nearby." Hell... That ball Takuya, Grimmjow, and Cider are at may have one or two. However, she too knows of the dangers of going in there. She'd like to avoid it if at all possible. If she should have to sneak into that ultimate thief's ball, she might as well ask track down one of their group for some sign of wingless angels.
Indeed, Kouga is feeding Yurei right out of his hand. She has her hands full, and he figures that making sure she eats may at the very least show his affection towards her since they aren't holding hands. He saves some for later as they arrive in demon land. He observes the ground, thinking it's remarkably different in landscape to the spirits and angels' lands. Still, as they search for the plant, he too searches. He even tries to out his nose to work even though there's no description of memory of it's scent if it even has any. There was one plant he almost thought was it. If it were not for the fact it wasn't blooming when they should be, he'd of been all excited about it. He looks up as the others mention not finding anything. "That paper did say it should be found in the land of demons, correct?" He looks at the ground and then up at the distance. "Let's go into town. At the very least, we can ask where it's found, if it's even in this area of the land of demons." He's imagining vast land for all of them after all.
Kyo smiles as she takes the berries, and he laughs at her reaction. "I told you you'd like it." A soft smile is on his face, and before they continue their search, he picks off plenty more for her. Shoot, he picks more than her little feminine hands can hold together. With the mountain of berries in tow, he offers them to her. He won't eat them, but he knows she will, so might as well give her her fill since he doesn't know if they will ever be able to try them again. By the time they start combing the land for the plant, he breaks into his half-dragon appearance. With this body, he has the eyes of a hawk since, like hawks, they tend to look for prey from the skies. He uses it to thoroughly search his part of the land as they walk, looking to make sure he finds the plant of it's there to find. Too bad it's in vain as after so long, he still comes up empty handed. He looks as the others suggest going towards the town to ask around for it, and he nods. "That's not a bad idea. Someone may be kind enough to lend us the plant if they happen to have it with them." It will also bring them closer to Nise's ball where Our three is busy guarding the place.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cider smirks over her shoulder at Grimmjow. "Buck up, my dear hollow. Improve yourself. Practice mingling. It may help you at some point." She waves as she darts off. She feels kind of bad, but he's a tough guy. He can handle himself, mingling or not. She does observe as he glares at the couple. She avoids watching Ichigo directly, but she feels the same as Grimmjow. Akira needs to get off of him! Still; she giggles as she thinks of how he so eagerly rejected dancing only to be jealous of a dancing Akira. If this were a situation where she was in the right state of mind, Cider would urge him to take Ichigo's place despite not wanting to dance. Normal Akira would love it. Too bad this one gave him one cold glare before blowing him off to continue stealing her boyfriend. Cider herself actually indulges in a dance. A nice gentleman insisted on dancing with her, even when she said she was to very good. She's not as graceful as Akira since she's never danced. But she gets the hang of it quickly. The young demon, a dragon demon, was very pleasant and fun. She had almost forgotten Ichigo being there and her mission. The only thing to remind her after a moment was a glomps of the pair dancing as well behind her partner. When they finish, she gives a little bow and a smile before darting off all happy as she could be right now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Unlike Cider, Grimmjow is coldly ignored. She smiles fondly as she dances with her supposed partner through the entire song. Her eyes are only on him until the very end, at which, Ichigo receives the smallest little kiss from her, it being rather shy than his passionate one earlier. Still, she walks off the dance floor with him. The mention of teasing Cider more like he did that brief moment when they first ran into one another, she thinks a moment. She loathes Cider about as much as Grimmjow. However... "So long she is as close to death as you can bring her with out dying. Make her suffer for feeling anything for you like the fool she is." Red eyes narrow as a wicked smile spreads. The thought of a bloody, heart-crushed cider is appealing. Besides, she doesn't like that Cider can blow off her feelings to have a good time like she is. She should be in a corner all uncomfortable to have Ichigo around, not flirting with some dragon demon! The little rat is cheating with her feelings! She should pay for that too. She shoos Ichigo off to Cider, and she finds a spot near the buffet to nibble as she observes their interactions with great scrutiny.

Yurei purses her lips in thought when it's suggested that they all go off to the town ahead to see if there's anyone kind enough to give them information. She shifts Kurogane in her hold before agreeing, "It can't hurt...Right?" Her eyes then drift to Hana, "Have you ever been to the Land of the Demons?" Maybe she can give some information on the natives of these lands. Never the less, she is rather amazed by the town that looks more like a city, with it's five story buildings, bustling streets and no-nonsense air about it. She is the first of the group to reach out and openly question for some assistance, innocent to how open the prejudice the Demons have. "Excuse me, s-" the man she attempts to get the attention of is average and just by passing by him and then seeing him later she wouldn't really recognize him. Slit pupils look her way cruelly while a sneer swiftly places itself on his face. Pointed ears seem to pull flat against the sides of his head of their own accord, even though they look more like human ears than animal.
"Who the hell do you think you are, addressing a Demon such as myself, human whelp?" The way he speaks gives away to all that he is a Snake Demon, while the long and thin fangs that curl back towards his throat are another sign. "Either grovel or die!" He doesn't give her any more of his time. This leaves Yurei in a state of shock. She's never been spoken so rudely right off the bat.
Erza in the mean time is incredibly grateful towards Kyo as he was so kind to get her more berries than she herself could hold. Thus, she requires his help in carrying them, but he doesn't seem to mind. Such a realization makes her heart patter in her chest heavily, made happy by his kindness. He's such a good man. She really hopes she can win his heart a second time. None the less, she eyes the town as Yurei asks Hana about anything she may or may not know. "I'd try to be ready for just about anything". She isn't so impressed by the buildings of the town, what with them being made of metal and looking earthen. To her, honestly, it's stupid. What'd the point? Her eyes narrow darkly as the Snake Demon snaps so harshly at an utterly surprised Yurei. "Don't worry about him, Yurei. That must be how they address people like us," she assures lightly. However, one of her hands clench as a random Demon calls out to her in the form of a cat call.
"Hey sexy red head! I bet I'd have you tied up and screaming my name in seconds!" But apparently it was a joke because his buddies begin to laugh rather loudly, let alone mockingly.
Another Demon, unknown to the others to be a Wind Demon, scoffs loudly though this is directed at Kyo. "Didn't your parents raise ya right boy? A Dragon Demon has no need for Human contact! Yer putting a bad name to the lot o' us bein' 'round them! Disgraceful!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Grimmjow nearly breaks his second cup when Akira decides to give a little shy peck to Kurosaki. The blue berry growls for real, low in his throat until suddenly there's a brave tap on his shoulder. He turns around to find a woman- to anyone else save himself she'd be described as breath taking. Her hair has been left to flow freely, being brown in color with a single golden flower in her hair behind her ear. One eye is an ice blue, the other as gold as the flower. Her skin is pale, but not unhealthy. Her ears are also pointed, her pupils slit, and a set of claws- more like talons- are on her finger tips. The dress she wears is long and flowing, following her curves nicely and being of a red color to help draw attention to her body rather than her eyes. "You seem lonely, care to dance with me, Sir Panther Demon-Spirit?" her voice is small, meek. And annoying. All three things Grimmjow hates about the woman. And screw him being a Demon-Spirit or whatever, that's not what he's called. He scoffs before looking away, eyes latching onto Akira by pure accident this time. Annoying. "Oh....You like that Angel over there huh?" Like? Feh. He won't admit it, but there's more than a simple 'like' in what he feels for Akira. "If you dance with me, maybe you can get her to notice you".
"If I 'dance' with you, will you shut up?" Grimmjow glares at the lovely Demoness.
Said Demoness smiles brightly, "Sure!" And takes his hand before pulling him onto the dance floor.
Grimmjow learns, as a tango begins, that this 'dancing' thing is a lot like fighting. Save that the woman is constantly on the defense, and he on the offense save for a moment or two. He doesn't get why she's looking so intently into her eyes, where as he's just focusing on not stepping on her dainty feet as well as trying to keep Akira in view.
Ichigo in the mean time smiles broadly as Akira gives him the 'okay' to go fuck with that Cider girl. He of course returns Akira's kiss with a more upfront one, but this time it's just a peck like hers was. "I'll make her wish she were dead," he vows to her before leaving her behind. He doesn't tell Akira that if he finds ANYONE trying to flirt with her, he'll drop his little game with Cider and kill the perpetrator before anyone can even think about blinking. He separates from Akira swiftly and searches for Cider's silver hair until he actually finds it in the throng of people readying for the next dance. He doesn't need to weave his way through people as they part like the Red Sea for him as he walks through the crowd. Ahh the joys of being powerful. Upon getting a closer look, he admits again that Cider looks beautiful. If he were a normal being, he would probably fall for her. However this is not the case. Taking the moment that she doesn't have her eyes on him as his chance, he slips behind her and gently taps her shoulder. Upon getting her attention, he bows low and offers a strong hand to her with a graceful smile on his face. If he were his normal self- the self Cider knows- he wouldn't be able to be so graceful. However apparently being infected with such an odd virus allows him to become as graceful and seductive as he pleases. "I believe we met yesterday in Zeta; you are Cider? I don't know why you're here, but I'm happy you are. You look beyond breath taking. Would you bless me with your presence and perhaps tango with me?" Assuming she accepts, he takes her hand and smiles brightly to her before kissing the back of her hand and leading the way onto the dance floor. Once there, he pulls her close to his frame and holds her there, waiting for the music to begin. Intensely he gazes into her eyes before leading the way through the tango. At one point or another, he compliments, "You move like water; so graceful it's astounding".

Hana looks to Yurei as she asks about the demons of this world. "I honestly don't know. They're the one species I've had the least contact with. I've only ever heard stories. I think they're more open in their distaste for anything human. Just be patient. We will likely need to have Kyo do the talking, but you're welcome to ask around yourselves." She arrives in the town with the others. Golden eyes watch as Yurei is told off by the serpent demon, and more give Erza creepy cat calls. That's as close to a compliment she will likely get, or any of them for that matter. She keeps her head down, wisely removing herself as best as she can with out retreating, so Kyo can address the demons himself. Of course, by the end of the confrontation, they all may notice lighter pockets, though. Hana just remains as unnoticed as possible, their coins silently placed into her pockets.
Kouga looks at Hana oddly. The spirits and angels weren't already openly spiteful towards humans? He doesn't see it getting worse until it happens, and one demon dares to tell off his girlfriend. His eyes narrow and his wings unfurl, poised to strike the demon down where he stands. What stops him as Kyo as he places a hand on his shoulder. Fine. He better take care of it. He watches as Kyo boldly confronts the cat callers as well as the serpent demon, pleased with his boldly taking a protective stance, even if it's mostly over Erza. He holds Yurei close by the waist, his possessive nature kicking in.
Kyo of course doesn't have the hostility aimed directly at him, but seeing as these are his comrades and friends, he still takes offense. A large hand grasps Kouga's shoulder. "Wait," he tells the experiment. As the serpent slinks away, Kyo's revenge is subtle. He starts a fire on the back of the shirt. Snakes can over heat, if all reading has been accurate. Let's see this serpent demon enjoy hot, hot flames. Of course, his eyes snap to those who call out to Erza so rudely. The moment he does, Kyo steps in front of Erza with a menacing glare. "Who I chose to talk to is none of your damn business. Unless you want me to tear into your hides for addressing Erza so rudely, you are going to answer a few of my questions." Assuming they don't take him seriously, the demons are immediately surrounded by angry, insanely hot blue flames. "We are here looking for something, a plant..." He goes into it's name and description, including that it only blooms on a night like that night. "Tell us where we can find the entire plant, and you won't be fried to a crisp." Hard, serpent eyes stare the demons down as he awaits their replies. He was going to be nice until they dared to talk so nasty to Erza.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cider was indeed among the others. She had half a mind to check back in on poor Grimmjow, and she would have if she wasn't startled by a tapping of a familiar hand on her shoulder. She stands there, reluctant to turn around, but... It's impossible to resist after being with out him for so long. She turns around to see her suck boyfriend before her. He's asking to dance? Why? He doesn't like her right now! Curious blue eyes look right at him. They hold none of the fear or amazement of every other individual here who looks at Ichigo. No, her expression holds confusion. And it holds her feelings for the Ichigo she remembers. This isn't him. Everything in here screams to avoid him while he's so sick. But she just can't resist. She wants her Ichigo back, the one that loved her. This Ichigo before her, talking smooth and showing her affection... It makes her forget what happened last time. Despite Miraikou and her own conscious screaming for her to get away... She just can't. She takes his hand with a shy smile. "Thank you, Ichigo. You look very handsome yourself." She lets herself be led into the tango, her small voice telling her to flee still ever present though it is ignored. She dances rather smoothly for one so inexperienced, and she happily accepts it. After a moment of thinking what to say, she says, "S-say, Ichigo." She stutters, careful about how she words what she says. "What made you decide to dance with me? I mean... Akira is right there." Since he thinks he's dating her, she lets her skepticism show by asking him this. What's he to gain by suddenly coming onto her like this?
Akira watches. It's amusing. The little foolish girl can't seem to control herself even after last time. It will be fun watching her crushed into the earth like the dirt she is. Though, something else does catch her attention. Akira looks to Grimmjow as he ends up dancing with some woman, though he obviously keeps glancing her way. She... She wants to strangle him, but after watching Ichigo, she decides it would be best to do her own thing until it's time to crush Cider. She lets the dance play out, and then Grimmjow suddenly has this blonde, wingless angel appear beside him. "Blueberry," she tells him, not at all caring for his real name unlike normal Akira. "Tell me. What the hell are you trying to do by showing up here while Ichigo and I are here? You're not welcome here. Not at all. Cider will pay for showing her face again, and so should you." It's all she could do not to summon a sword of light into her hand.

Yurei cuddles closely to Kouga as he holds on to her even as Kyo steps forward to teach the Sname Demon A swift and painful lesson. A side of her, one that's been developed and kept healthy by constantly being around sadistic people *cough* Grimmjow *cough*, finds dark pleasure as the demon screams and begins to roll in hopes of putting out the fire. This of course works, but it takes a few moments and by that time he has a lovely burn on his scales that look like skin. When the truly threatened demons give in and tell Kyo what they need to know, she lets out a sigh. "Why can't anything be easy?"
Ezra is silently pleased and flattered that Kyoto is so willing to protect her of all people, placing his large body between the assholes and herself. Because Kyo is a broad dragon, she can't really see the assholes anymore but of course she can hear them. As they shout their fear Of the blue fire, she remains silent and lets her crush work his magic, getting the information they need in no time. However, she too wishes things would be at least a little easier. And just why the hell do people Like their new targets have to exist? WHat an odd place this world truly is. "So all we have to do," she begins as they start to walk again, "Is beat up some guys? Sure, getting into the castle will be a hitch to do, but no matter right? We can even meet up with Grimmjow and Cider while we're at it".
The demons smirk as they're stared down by the mighty Dragon-Demon before them. Who does this guy think he is, bosing them around like he is? Their smirks turn into two of them snickering mockingly while the third struts forward a few steps as though he is the leader of the group. He probably is, actually. He was gonna taunt Kyo further until the man decided to corner them with hot blue flames that threaten to burn their flesh off. The leader screams, and quickly breaks under the serpentine glare framed by this guy's own fire. To the assholes, Kyo is the definition Of Demon at the moment. "Okay okay! I'll tell you, just don't burn us!" The pathetic man stammers, "All of that type of plant was plucked up by Nise's men! Apparently it's all being kept in the basement because it's an ingredient for some sort of food Nise likes. You're gonna have to break in to get it! Now that I've told you, get rid of the fire!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ichigo is highly pleased as Cider accepts his request to dance with her. However, as she questions him he chuckles. She's very careful of what she says, isn't she? "I'm here because I want to be. Akira and I can't spend all our time together, this she and I know rather well. Bsides, i like dancing with a beautiful woman such as yourself. Is that wrong?" Once the song is over, he pulls Cider from the dance floor and requests she wait for a second. Not even a minute later, he returns to her with a glass of golden liquid commonly known as champagine. He offers her a glass, but sets it aside should she turn the offer down. "Another reason is that I want to know how you seem to know me so well. You said i had been your lover, but I've only ever been with Akira. Tell me everything you want to say, as well as if I had ever been at your side". It is here that his handsome features take on a helpless and lost look, brows furrowed and all. "Please help me, Cider. I feel that only you can return whatever memory I've lost"
Grimmjow leaves the nameless woman the moment the damn song is over. He rolls his eyes as she flirtatiously calls that they should dance together again before the night is over. Like hell he's dancing again. That's bullshit. Akira gets his attention just as he picks up and sips at another glass of wine, not at all worried that he may end up drunk- Hollow don't get drunk. He eyes the beautiful blonde, shoving the compliment that he wants to give right down into his intestines. Like hell he's gonna compliment her when she's being a memoriless hoe bag. "What's it matter to you, Bitch?" H. Too refuses to call her by her name as he had done before the bullshit began. "If you're gonna be a cunt and just have to know, I'll tell you. I'm here on a job; I'm a mercenary and I and Cider have been hired to act as hidden security for the duration of this stupid thing. Got a problem with that? Too bad, you can go fuck yourself".

Kouga huddles close to Yurei as Kyo fries the snake demon. He's not necessarily enjoying it like Yurei. However, he watches on with a cold gaze as Kyo forces answers very painfully out of them. That's the place Takuya, Grimmjow, and Cider were headed. They're already inside, he's sure. "Should we all really go? I mean, sure that's a huge mansion, but so many of us could attract attention. Especially giant, clumsy brutes like a certain dragon here." He ignores the reply he gets for the most part, only smirking in amusement. "We already have 3 eyes on the inside, and Besides, someone should watch Kurogane." He looks to whomever is holding the baby as I have forgotten who it was. After a moment, a large, goofy grin appears on his face as he appears behind Hana all of a sudden. "It's your time to shine, girlie." He and Kyo place their hands on her head, giving her mischievous grins. Simultaneously, they say, "Go fetch us the plant from his house." They respond to her reaction with, "Well, your our handy dandy thief." They dust her off comedically before ushering her to the back of the mansion. Both of them are not that good for stealing. They're good fighters, but they're not the best at sneaking and stayin undetected. They will at least watch kurogane if Yurei and Erza decide today is the day to try thieving with Hana.
Just as Kouga coldly watched the interrogation, Kyo coldly did the interrogating as his flames slowly creep through the demon's body. Once he tells them the information, Kyo mercifully relieves the snake of his flames. "Get lost, you worthless demon. If I find out you try to compromise our search, you and your family and your buddies here will all burn. It'll be slow, starting at your hands and feet and moving up from there." He knocks the demon snake aside before turning to his companions. He turns back to Yurei and Hana and Kouga and Erza. "Well, we need to break into a mansion." He looks to the others before Kouga and Kyo do as mentioned in Kouga's post to Hana. He beams to her. "I already did my part. I got a location. Now you need to haul ass to do your part. You owe us after all."
Hana watches as the demon gets what she wished he'd get. As he gutlessly rats out the location, her mouth sets in a hard line. That demon lord has no easy mansion. It's truly a laberynth of twists and turns. At least tonight she will know he and his servants and guards will focus on the ball, so they'll all be concentrated around the ball room. Still, getting there to their comrades will be hard because of that. "We don't have money for any formal wear. I mean, what we gathered should only be used for board and food. It won't be easy getting to Takuya, Cider, and Grimmjow unnoticed. We're dressed like worn travelers, not Nobel demons. Even Kyo will have a hard time getting in despite his being a pure demon." She looks to the direction of the mansion a moment before Kouga and Kyo do as mentioned. Gold eyes widen as she snaps a glare backwards to the two. "What the hell? Why should I do it?" Their responses make her surprise turn into pure annoyance. "Idiots." Way to dump the work of turning their friends back to normal onto her. Whatever. She'll do it. She'll get the plants and this guy's riches.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cider gives dancing her all, though it's not her forte. She does well to keep up with Ichigo through the steps. "Still, she seemed rather jealous last time." She cautiously watches him as he responds to her. When he asks her to wait after the song, she does so. She takes the time tk watch for Grimmjow and Takuya. She doesn't get a good look at the angel, but Grimmjow is spotted doing nothing but standing. That's fine. She is just glad to have tabs on at least him again. Once Ichigo returns to her side, she takes the champagne and starts to sip it. "Thank you," she says, beaming to him before he starts asking. He really wants to know? She would love to tell him everything, show him everything. But she remembers the last time she so quickly trusted him as well. She hesitates as she debates what to do, but ultimately her desire to win Ichigo over win. The skepticism slowly recedes as she starts telling him of their past: how they met, their adventures, especially her meeting his family a while ago. After a while, she says, "You and I share a mental link. I've been able to talk to you mentally. It's how I really got to talk to Ogichi and Zangetsu." To prove her point, she reached out with her own mind, pressing into his forcefully. To prove her stories, she takes the opportunity to project the most Vivid memories of them from all their travels, including meeting his family and the time they finally made love in Cider's own world. Of course, there are others too, but she made a point of showing those especially. "You and Akira belong with us, but not as a couple." Her expression is now concern, her eyes staring into his intensely with a furrowed brow.
Akira scoffs. "You weaklings? Guards? Heh. The lord of this mansion has always been rather cheap. His cheap prices for cheap, weak guards I suppose." Crimson eyes narrow. "You wouldn't stand a chance if Ichigo and I decided to start something. You better be nice, and maybe i won't let Ichigo completely kill Cider." She looks to her as the little girl receives drinks from Ichigo. She idly wishes for the drink to be spiked, spiked with poison. It's too bad that AKIRA forgot that cider is used to poisons and venoms thanks to her original powers. She looks back to the blue berry who seems desperate to copy Ichigo. Curiosity gets the better of her. "How is it you have a hole in you like m Ichigo?" She picks off food from the display and looks away as if she is ignoring him as she asks this. Her eyes remain on Cider as she seems excited and hopeful as she talks about something.

Yurei giggles as the boys put up Hana for the job of finding the plant in Nise's home, hidden in an unknown room. "You like taking from the rich, don't you? This should be fun even if it is a challenge. I could helup you if you want". We adjusts Kurogane in her arms, changing the hip She cradles him on. She had at one point been an arcarchitect, so she's still fairly used to both being light on her feet abd reacting at a second's notice. If Hana agrees, she hands off Kurogane to Erza before heading off with Hana to start their job. Of course, before they leave completely she tells the others, "Try to stick around here so we can find you when we're done". But if Hana doesn't want help, she assures the theif that they'll be near by.
Erza in the mean time currently has her head stuck on the fact that Kyo so Willingly and readily protected her even if it was from some asses and their stupidity. The fact that he stepped forward like that makes her heart flutter happily. "You do owe us after all," she agrees with the boys when Hana reacts the way she does. Should Yurei end up going with the thief, she claims the hybrid baby gently before resting him on her hip as he had been. Even if Yurei stays she eventually says to Kyo, "Thanks for shutting those guys up". ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ichigo smiles as she seems pleased by his answer and his want to know about his apparent past. His eyes widen as she shows him his family. He has one of those? His moments with the gang and over all Cider are all closely processed. He analyzes every moment given to him. However, he has to fight hard to not narrow his eyes upon her telling him of how she met Zangetsu and Ogichi. She knew them before they became one? That sets him on edge because that is a portion of his mind where everything is blank. For her to tell him about Thi.gsm he doesn't eve remember angers him. Why does she know when he.doesn't? It is here that he deems her to have been lying this whole time. He fights the urge to kill the hitch then and there but that's not what he has in mind. He has to break her, he reminds himself. This in mind, when she's done talking, he smiles. Unknow Unknown to him, it is Very close to that of the smiles Cider Knows best. His gold and black eyes stare her down before he speaks. "You know.......After hearing all that.....I have to admit that I do remember you. From the very beginning.....I don't remember any of our adventures but I remember you and only you". He reaches forward, resting the palm of his large hand on her cheek, "And that's all that matters," he coos gently, drawing closer to her. "I wish there was a way to right all the wrongs I've done done....Starting with you. Is there any Way you forgive me?" God, he wants to throw up. But this kind Of attitudes is what she seems to remember him to have. He has to act this way if he wants her to let her guard down.
Grimmjow scoffs himself, "I don't care if we'd die stopping you, we'd take you both down if you started shIt". The threat from the wingless angel makes his skin itch in the form of battle lust. This Akira is annoying as the real one used to be. It passes the panther Hollow off. He too keeps his eyes on Cider and Ichigo, mainly the latter though. He watches the carrot top caress Cider's cheek, which makes his eyes narrow. What is that bastard planning? "You mean HE'S like ME. I'm older than him. If you have to know, we're not Spirit-Demons or whatever it is people think we are. We're called Hollow and aren't even technically alive. We feed off of the souls of both the living and the dead. And the holes in us signify that we don't have a heart". Before the woman can doubt that last statement, he grabs whatever hand he can and puts it on his chest over where his heart should be. He has no fear of her attacking point blank though he doesn't doubt that she could and would if she wanted. What Akira won't feel is heart beat. Seriously, there is no heart there.

Hana glares at ERZA as well. "I owe you guys nothing. But what ever." She looks to Yurei. At least she isn't just dumping the work load onto her completely. "An extra set of eyes and hands could be good." She lets the baby get passed around before she beckons to Yurei. "Let's go. I'd like to get the plants first, so if we get caught trying to make contact, we can already have what we really needed here." She leads tbe way through the shadows of trees and bushes alike, with little sound coming from her steps and breath. She eyes the house for a good way in, and she spots a 1st level window that's cracked with the light off. She checks that all guards patrolling the yard as well as bustling servants have their attention elsewhere before darting out across the open stretch of lawn to slip through the window and into what would be an empty guest bedroom. She checks here that Yurei is with her. Ima. Low, quiet voice, she said, "The demon mentioned that the plant is used in this guy's favorite food, so we should go find the kitchen. Hopefully it's pantry will still have some left over." Finding the kitchen will be a difficult task though. The halls are brightly lit and, while not as busy as normal since it's away from the party a bit, there's still servants and guards bustling around.
I'll take this chance to leave the boys alone. They'll be waiting and watching in silence.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cider blushes as Ichigo smiles at her like he always did before. "You... Do you really remember me?" She beams. Maybe this virus is easier to beat than they thought. Obviously, her guard is down now. She leans forward just a bit. She shakes her head. "There's no need to ask. It's not your fault you forgot." She takes his hands, his big masculine hands that she had long missed. "I could tell you more about the adventures of youd like. There's Akira's affair with Horosha, a demon from the same place as her. There's the lion world we got lost in." She stops herself short from all the other adventures. "Oh, if only you could really remember them all though."
Ya sure? Now even a little tiny one like the Grinch's? Lol. Akira narrows his eyes. "No," she stubbornly insisted, "You copied him." Though as he explains the hollow stuff, she quickly looks bored. Yea, he feeds on not normal food. Though the heart thing throws her off. If I remember, Ichigo has one made up of his reiatsu. She doesn't know its Reiatsu. She just knows he has a pulse. Still, when Grimmy took her wrist and made her stop doubting his word, she thought less of what he was and more of the fact that she'd love to rip what ever IS in his chest right out. Her eyes widen with a loathing disdain as her hand touches his skin. "Dumbass," she says. As fast as she can muster, she gathers light around that hand and presses it against Grimmjow, it being more than hot enough to melt away average humans. Which him, it should really just burn REALLY bad. 2nd degree burns at least.

I'll let Erza be for a bit then too lol. Yurei nods to the boys and the redhead before darting off into the darkness. She is not a professional thief, but her body blends into the darkness pretty well. Luckily for her, being light footed is a skill she's long since mastered, therefore her feet don't make a noise as they follow Hana's. Upon making it into the unused guest room, she looks around, eyes adjusting to the dark for a moment. "....The kitchen huh? Don't powerful lords always prefer to have food almost at immediate hand?" She questions her fellow powered human. Now, she calls upon her experience of knowing Cross back in her world. She recalls his home, the palace of her home's kingdom, eyes shifting back and forth as she dazedly passes through memory after memory mentally. She stops after a few moments before stating, "....I'm gonna guess that the ball room is, latitude wise, in the very middle of this building. Longitude wise, it's towards the front- probably the first major room. The kitchen then is flanking it on either the left or right....My guess is the right". Let's say just for the hell of difficulty, they're on the left side of the building. "....Getting there is obviously gonna be difficult though". Should they try just sneaking through the hallways? Or maybe there's vents in this world? She looks around. It doesn't look like there are vents in this world. Not good. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ichigo smiles wider upon seeing her blush. How cute. And how stupid of her to so happily believe him. It's sad, really, she really believes him to be the man she thinks him to be. She thinks he remembers, just because he told her that he does? She's so strongly desperate to have him 'back' that she'd believe anything he says. Probably. All in all, it leaves her far too prone to getting hurt again. Oh how he'll love watching her cry out her pain and sorrow. He can see it now. And yet, why just imagine it when he could always make it into a reality. "I remember," he tells her gently, "I remember," the second time, he forces out a 'relieved' laugh as though a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders. He stands, holding on to the pretty silver haired woman, and tugs her as he turns to walk towards a door that leads to the rose garden outside. He smirks, careful to make sure she cannot see him do so. "Come, I want to remember EVERYTHING about you". He squeezes her hand tighter and forces a blush onto his cheeks. "Please. Finding you again.....I can't not have you tonight. Cider," he coos her name as they walk, assuming that she freely goes along with him.
Ichigo is a little different from Grimmjow when it comes to their hearts. Ichigo's an artificially created Hollow, where as Grimmjow is a naturally made one. While Ichigo doesn't have a heart for an organ, yes he does have a heart out of reiatsu- still doesn't count as a heart, thus the Hollow hole, if that makes sense. Grimmjow just doesn't have a heart despite the pulse that beats under Akira's hand. "You're a lot more stupid like this than I remember you to be. It's sad really. You sound like a girl obsessed with a man who doesn't actually love you". Honestly he expected her to attack him, therefore he had gathered more reiatsu to that point in order to support his heirro. Thus, it leaves only a first degree burn- borderline second- which he pays no mind to at all. "You're the dumbass, you cu-". Before he can finish speaking, he watches Ichigo pull a (I assume) willing Cider from the ball room and into the near by rose garden. "Cider!! Cider what the hell are you doing?!" But, still assuming Cider goes with Ichigo, his voice seems to fall on deaf ears. If Ichigo fails, then Grimmjow finishes calling Akira a cunt.

Hana nods. "But by then, the plants would be ground into what ever foods he likes. We need them before that. Any plants not used yet will stay stored in a pantry in the kitchen Id imagine." Regardless, she notices te same problem as Yurei. They won't make it down the halls like they are now, and the vents look to small. She looks around before looking to the door as the sound of feet go by. "Perhaps we can blend in." She cracks the door to look outside. It's two maids running by. "There's out chance! Get them and knock em out!" SHES not strong, or so she presumes, so she lets Yurei use her abilities if you wouldn't mind. Once they're subdued, they're dragged into the room. The maid uniforms are typical of what you would see: black dresses with a white apron. Though, Hana notices as she puts these on that they are rather... Revealing. It's not that revealing, but the dress has no straps, and the skirt falls to a few inches below he butt. Thank goodness this wasn't a dress for a smaller girl. Still. The girls are up, gagged, and then stuffed into a large chest where they will remain until found. She looks to Yurei. "Now we can just pretend to be one of the maids. Hopefully it'll make it easy to get around." She smiles at her. once they're both ready, she leaves the room once the coast is clear with Yurei. Let's see... She said to the back and to the right. So, based on what she remembers of where she entered the mansion... They'll need to turn this way... She looks to Yurei. "Cmon, let's find that plant."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Of course she is desperate. She loves him. Well, she loves the him not infected by the virus. She'd love that Ichigo if he wasn't so cruel to her. He's not cruel now, though. It really does make his heart race that a man so strong as him could be happy and gentle enough not to break her in half. She continues go beam at Ichigo as she falls for his sweet words. In fact, she very willingly heads out of the ballroom with Ichigo. She blushes and becomes bashful as he implies what he does. "R-really?" Theyve only ever been together like that once before anyways, so shed love for a good round 2. She beams as she darts out, Grimmjow's words hitting nothing but deaf ears. She catches up to walk by Ichigo's side. Now then. Surely there are many empty rooms here. She eagerly looks around until one dark room with its door cracked catches her attention. "In here," she says.
Of course its not a real heart, but Akira can still feel his heart beats because of the artificial one. She is assuming it's a real heart. Still, she gets pissed when he insults her and her beautiful relationship with Ichigo. "How dare you! Ichigo and I are in love! We've been madly in love for years! You dimwits come out of no where to challenge us all of a sudden and question our fun memories together!" She turns up the heat even more, and her other hand is gathering light to attack when Grimmjow suddenly calls out to Cider. She turns to see her rival dragged away. Drat. She wanted to see Cider cry as she is crushed. Right now... The hand on Grimmjow's chest becomes a hardened barrier incase he thinks to run after her. "Oh no. You don't get to watch or interfere. Cider will wish she was dead by the end of the night. You just keep doing your job, you worthless dog."

Yurei shakes her head, "That's not what I meant. I mean, if this is a Lord's home and if a ball is going on then the kitchen is gonna be the hardest place to get to at this moment". However, she then watches as the human girl sticks her head out of the door and spots two maids that they can pretend to be. She purses her lips at the sight of their slightly skimpy uniforms, but admits that it could be much worse and therefore throws those worries aside. Upon Hana's prompt, she attacks, silently grabbing a hold of their top most vertebrae and shifting them out of place. Their bodies freeze before starting to fall limply to the floor. However, before they can land, she forces their skeletons to move them by her command. They only truly fall once inside the guest room. "Sorry about that," she apologizes with a slight grimace. Still, she strips the maid that Hana doesn't take for herself and trades clothing with her. "Lead on," she tells Hana, letting the thief guide her along, fully confident that with her help that they'll get there in no time at all.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ichigo in the mean time smiles sheepishly himself as Cider blushes in turn to his suggestion. Honestly, he's getting hard, but not from the thought of sex with such an inferior being. Instead, it's due to what's to soon come. Oh, he can't wait to see the look on her face!! As they get into the unused room, it is not a guest room but some place for storage. Boxes are all around but that doesn't stop Ichigo from pressing Cider against the wall and beginning the process of ravishing her lips with his own. She tastes...Weak. That's all he can tell from the connection of their lips. A hand 'feverishly' tangles its fingers in her hair, while his other hand gently coaxes its way down her side and to back of her dress where I assume it zips. "I'm sorry," he states, giving them both time to breathe, "I can't control myself very well". Actually, he can control himself perfectly fine, even as his fingers hidden in her silver locks fiddle with the strands in an almost ticklish fashion. He presses himself flush to her, his hard chest looking to heat up her softer one with his innate body heat. At some time, once he's explored every part of her mouth he can, he separates himself from the young woman, nipping and kissing tender skin along her neck. He stops where he finds is most tender according to whatever sounds she may make, and pays more attention to them before continuing. Just a bit more. A little bit more. Then, he'll break her. "Cider," he coos gently. His hand does not undo her dress just yet. He wants her to invite him.
Grimmjow in the mean time steps back, forced to do so by the heat of her light that eats through his reiatsu barrier around where his heart used to be. The light doesn't eat through it quickly, but at a fast enough pace to displease Grimmjow. While her free hand collects more light into it, he places his hand onto Pantera, ready to draw it free of its scabbard at the slightest of movements she makes. "Yea, that's what the one with the unrequited love always says before they're proven wrong," he tosses back with a scowl. He does indeed try to go after the idiot woman, but finds himself caged by a barrier of light. His eyes study the barrier, looking for any sign of weakness only to find nothing that would give with ease. He doesn't want to cause bullshit nonsense. It's not their job to cause a ruckus, it's their job to keep a ruckus from happening. He scoffs. Damn their need for money! He harshly grips Pantera's hilt for a moment longer before casually leaning on the barrier, crossing one foot in front of the other as he does so. "Whatever," he snaps, "Why are you here anyways?"

Hana says to the maids, "Thank you, girls." Once they're hidden away, she's out in the halls. It's best not to run while they're playing maid. What maid has ever ran around like a lost nut in her own mansion that she cleans? She walks fast, of course. She just doesn't run. Let's see... They need the back left. She decides to follow this hall until she finds what reached a dead end or stairs or a door. Might as well take it as far as it will allow her. Once at a dead end, she carefully recalls any and all halls. As far as they walked, they should roughly be on the other side of the mansion where the kitchen should be. All the extra butlers and maids scurrying around just validates her point. They're concentrated here, and many are carrying food. She watches the people carrying food and what hall or door they seem to be emerging from. Let's see... She spots a double doors swinging wildly down a narrow hall just to their left. "That must be the kitchen," she tells Yurei.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cider is in a blissful dream right now. In this dark storage room, she has her hands on the one man she's been so desperate to get back. She kisses him passionately. Her every movement is done to express every ounce of the sincere, burning love she has for him. Her body shivers under his touch as he fumbles around for the zipper on the back of her dress. She takes a breathe as he apologizes only to say, "You're not the only one." She continues the kissing only to stare at him in desperation as he pulls away. She wants more! Of course, she's quick to think that, worried he might forget again. She only relaxes, so to speak, as his lips return to her skin. All the spots he found before seem to be hit, and every time, her breathe hitches. Of course the favor is returned. She kisses him as well, searching for the spots she remembers all too well. Once she finds them, she mercilessly attacks those spots. She will reclaim her Ichigo from that damned Akira in mind and body, of that, she swears. A little more time passes. After all the fondling and kissing, she looks up at him, her eyes widened as she tries to beg, "Take my clothes off Ichigo."
Akira gives Grimmjow a nasty sneer. "Oh, poor the poor kitten seems to be jealous. He's jealous of the attention his weakling partner is giving Ichigo." She of course bars him in as soon as he moves, and her wicked smile only seems to grow. "Ichigo will crush her, and you will remain in this cage unless you want to be cut into slices." Well, more like he will be burned than cut. Still, as she's asked why she's here, Akira's mocking fades a bit. "What's it to you? Ichigo and I answered the invitation. That's all. You don't need to know anything else that we may have come for." She longs to go and watch cider break, but she knows that for her to break, they shouldn't have this one butting in and shaking her to her senses. That'd be a real mood killer. "Once Ichigo comes back, I'll let you go find the little wench."

Yurei makes sure that she keeps her steps brisk but not running as well, following Hana's example the best she can. However, as they travel, her eyes quickly and efficiently memorize what she sees. A hall here and there, but nothing that would lead to the outside she doesn't think. Instead, those halls probably lead to more guest rooms or something of the sort; nothing they need. It's the smell of food rather than the bustling maids and servants that tells her that they're very close to their destination already. It's almost sad how easy this is, but they are attacking during a ball as grand as this one apparently seems to be and there's no such thing as cameras in this world, of course it's easy. That and probably because she's not sneaking around a place that's filled with all sorts of traps waiting to be triggered. "There's no doubt," she agrees with Hana as the girl guesses that the place they're looking at is the kitchen. "....The pantry could be anywhere in there, so how do you want to go about this? I can make everyone like those two maids, or we can play it like we're part of the crowd.....If we do the latter though, it'd look kind of weird if we wandered around lost and someone saw us doing that".
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ichigo is slightly disturbed by the fact that Cider knows where his sweet spots on his neck are. It's one thing to be a good guesser. But she's hit every single one of them on the spot. Like she actually knows him. It's creepy. Still, he makes sure to keep his mind on his goal despite her coaxing mouth. Damn bitch is actually good for something. His ears figuratively perk upon hearing her begged words. They please him greatly. There's his cue! Before he complies, or seemingly complies, he pulls away from her neck and kisses her deeply one more time. Then, he speaks. At first his facial expression is gentle, loving, but by the end it is warped and darkly amused. "I love you Cider. I love you so much, I can't believe that I could have forgotten about the one person that matters the most to me........Is what I'd like to say". And as he says these last words, he ruthlessly slams his knee into her gut after twisting them around so that she does not crash through the wall she had once been pressed against. He picks her up from what I assume would be her downed position, holding her by her hair. "You really are desperate to seduce me into leaving Akira, aren't you? Why would I leave the woman I love? If you 'knew' me like you claim to, you would have realized that I'm not at all stupid". He tosses her to the side punching her towards a tower of boxes. Oh, this is the good part!!
Grimmjow scoffs at the woman. Normally he'd flip shit at her, calling her every name under the sun. However, in his time with his friends, he's learned to keep his cool....For the most part. Or perhaps a better way to say it is that he's learned to portray his anger in a way other than physically. Doesn't mean he doesn't want to call her every curse word he can think of or even make up, it just means that he controls himself from doing so. Honestly he's worried about Cider. The fool is much too vulnerable to Ichigo; he should have stopped the man from getting to her the moment he saw him offer to dance with her. He doesn't move from his leaning position. "Cider's strong, she won't break," he hopes. He doesn't feel like watching over vegetable-Cider again. That was a bitch. "Let me guess," he sighs, "You guys are here to recruit followers for your plan of world domination...Or a variety of it. God, you guys are just like Aizen. Are all bad guys this pathetic?"

Hana looks on in thought about their options. "If we suddenly attack them, we may compromise Takuya, Grimmjow, and Cider's job." That is a concern to her too. They need as much money as they can find from the get go so they can push on as long as they can with out having to scrap for money. It'd be too much of a pain. She looks to Yurei. "Can you knock them all unconscious with that power of yours? If you can, this one make it much easier." Then, if Takuya or the others come, it'll only be their stories. They could make up what they wanted to cover for themselves and the heist. If she says yes, she says, "Then do it. We should make sure to find one of our comrades before leaving though. It'd look bad if we attacked all these people and these supposedly superior bodyguards did nothing let alone helped them." Hopefully one of them will show up with out being tracked down like the bodyguards they're supposed to be. She doesn't know Cider is being seduced and crushed, or that Grimmjow is literally behind some bars right now. Even if they did pick up on her human- which is rather nonexistent- presence, they'd have a hard time getting to her. Once Yurei does as asked, though, she moves fast. In she slips through the kitchen doors as soon as they are down to scavenge the kitchen for the plants. If she says no, than she sighs. "I hate to do it, but we will need to play along. It may be suspicious, but theyll likely be too busy to notice. They may assume we are new, which is fine. It's just not wise to let them see us after we do attack if we do."

Cider fidgets under his kind gaze, being rather excited to see him look at her that way and knowing what they're about to do. His words are like honey. It's too bad they're merely a facade. His turn of attitude makes her confused. Her body still doesn't receive the red flag her mind is screaming, so she doesn't move besides to widen her eyes as she is grabbed and has her gut hit by his knee. A little grunt escapes her as the air in her lungs get forced out. She's doubled over in tears and discomfort. What? He tricked her? Oh, but she had been so careful! She flinches as he pulls her up by her hair. Tears start to stream as she stares in disbelief. "You lied," she muttered in response to his accusing her of trying to seduce him. "You're still sick." Then she is knocked into some Wooden boxes by his fist. The force of the hit makes one of the boxes break on impact as she flies into it. Finally, she thinks to try and escape. She knows she can't kill him, but maybe she can trick him into breathing in her mists. He surely wouldn't remember them, so she should be able to put him to sleep if she's subtle enough. With this in mind, she stumbles to her feet to stand up to him. Her expression is wary. "You're the one being tricked, Ichigo." She says this through slightly shallowed breath as she stares him down. "I will make you see one day. I promise you this."
Akira lets out a loud, maniacal laugh. "That thing? Strong? The girl took all of five minutes to drop her guard. Sorry, but she's too stupid. She will break. And when she does, she will beg me for death." Her smile returns to her face at the thought of a broken cider begging her to end her life. She looks Grimmjow dead in the eye. "And perhaps I'll be nice enough to send you with her." A blade of light is pointed at Grimmjow's throat as she says this. It's all she can do now to carve him up right now. No, she will wait. The blossomed sadist in her wants to make it hell for him first. When he makes a guess, she gives no hint of whether he is right or wrong. All she says is, "You're awfully cocky of that assumption, kitty. You'd best hope not. You'd lose your pay for this lowsy job wouldn't you?"
