Yurei pauses to look into the kitchen, counting the number of targets she'd have if she were to take them all out at once. Her brows furrow. Knock them out? Again she counts. There's no way she can knock them out with their own bones....But that's what her own are for. "I can do it," she assures before forming a gun shape with her right hand's fingers. She aims carefully for her first target before releasing a small bullet of bone that is much too blunt to break the enemy's own bones but moves fast enough to get them the result they need. Once her first target is met, she has to work quickly, 'shooting' each person down in various spots, mainly parts in the head. Once the last person is out, she grins and relaxes. "There, the way's clear," she offers to Hana.
Takuya in the mean time hasn't been in the ball room. He's been in the rose garden, protecting that area. However, he does know about Akira and Ichigo; there's nothing he can do unless they openly cause trouble. Not without fucking them all over, that is. How can he not? This entire night, he's been mentally keeping an eye on everyone's own personal light. And when I say everyone, I mean everyone within a hundred yard radius. It's a taxing job, and if he gets into a fight he'll have to call this field of vision back to him lest he be useless, but he's not currently worried. What he's curious about, however, is what the hell Hana and Yurei are doing in the building. He leaves his place, easily weaving his way through people until he's out of the ball room and headed for the kitchen. The sight he sees is slightly alarming, but his field of tracking right now tells him that this is where Yurei and Hana are. "Woman?" His nickname for Hana, "Yurei?" He calls.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Oh? You're quite resiliant, aren't you?" Ichigo taunts as Cider insists that it's he who is being tricked even after all that's happened. "Me? I'm not being tricked," he chuckles confidently. Despite his confidence, he is careful. While she is much weaker than he, she is stronger than most. She's bound to be able to think of some trick that may have the chance to work on him. For the time being, at the same time, it's time to play. "Last I checked, you were the one that threw yourself at me the moment I 'remembered'. God you're stupid!" He laughs an Ogichi worthy laugh, his grin distorted in a way that also looks like Ogichi's. Or rather, it's his own original sadistic grin, seeing as Ogichi came along AFTER Ichigo.....Oh well, you know what I mean. He slams his fist into her face swiftly again, this time aiming for her her head to slam against the floor. Even if her head doesn't go slamming, he picks up his foot and promptly kicks her a few more times, chasing her down and catching her with his kicks each time. "You won't ever make me see the 'truth' because there's no lie to how I am!" Another, harder than the others, kick to her ribs. "I've always been like this! Go back to your fucking dream world!"
Grimmjow scoffs, "You're more stupid than she is if you think she'll break so easily. I admit she was foolish to fall for Kurosaki's trick, but then again she's been in love with the guy since practically the day they met. They've been a thing almost as long. Still, she's got a few tricks up her sleeve, you've got no idea you stupid wingless whore". Which reminds him, "Why are you in love with Kurosaki when he's the one who ripped off your beloved red wings? Other than Kurogane, they were the most precious things in the world". He cares not for the blade of light that puts itself at his throat, not at all fearful of the woman. He grins as she threatens him, blood beginning to boil for a good fight. He hasn't verbally argued with her since before he began to relax and realize that his friends are his friends. Since before he actually realized that he had once had a thing for the ill Angel in front of him. "Who cares about the money? If you wanna fight, let's go where I have more room to hand your sweet ass right to ya on a platinum platter".

Hana grins at Yurei as she knocks out the waitstaff. "Good, good!" She wastes no time in searching. She sees a few doors Around the kitchen. One of them might store the plants. She's just done checking one door that happens to lead to a meat locker of sorts when her favorite companion shows up. "Brute." She returns with a scowl. "My name is Hana. Ha-nah." She shakes her head. "No this isn't the time to be arguing. Look. We have a list of ingredients to gather. The first one was a plant native to these lands, but they've all been picked by this fox guy for ball. We can go into detail about it later. For now, I'm actually glad you saved us the trouble of tracking you down. theyre out cold now, but they caught a glimpse of mainly Yurei before they were unconscious. Word will likely get around that there was an assault on the kitchen staff. I doubt he cares for them, but he will worry what else we may be up to as well as how we got in in the first place. If we get the plant we need here, we can escape unnoticed and you can just say you dealt with us if he asks." She turns back to the kitchen. She looks through the other three doors. One seemed like a rather cramped break room. The second one stores veggies and the like. This is what she was hoping to find. She steps into the pantry to look closer. She moves every piece of food and empties every box to find what she's lookingg for. Unless you want Yurei to find it, I'll say she notices a small bundle in the back corner. "Here it is!" She cries happily. Not caring about carefully getting one of the three plants wrapped up together, she just snatched all three and stuffs them in one of the apron pockets. She comes back out and says to Takuya, "We're all here now. We will have a room for you three when your job here is done. Just make sure you get paid. Unless you need anything, Yurei and I need to scram before people realize there are intruders here."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cider struggles to resist being thrown around. She tries prying herself loose and running, but his strength is far from hindered with this virus. It's like trying to move a mountain over even an inch. "I did that because what I say is true!" She shouts at him. She struggles and kicks with all her might despite knowing the strength of his heiro. Still, she refuses to let this sick Ichigo crush her will. As she is kicked around, she struggles to stay on her feet. "Ask Akira. Ask her about the things I know. See if she knows of Ogichi and Zangetsu, and how the one is sadistic and the other is stoic. Ask her about the sweet spots I was just kissing. I know about your hollow powers and how hey work. Hell, I bet she's convinced you have a bearing heart. If you love her, and she loves you, Surely she knows these basic things about you! I bet you don't know shit about her either." Sure that's not all there is, but surely it should prove she isn't just some random fan girl. It's not just her trying to convince him. As she's getting picked up and kicked around like a ragdoll. She's distracting him, and excusing herself to breath more. When ever he got close, she made sure to exhale as deep as she can. The mist is a subtlely grey tinted mist that acted like a tranquilizer. It's actually grey because the heavy amounts of the sleep drug. Even Ichigo should hopefully pass out from it or slow down enough for her to get away. Though, if he keeps this up, she may not be able to walk out of there. Already, she feels broken ribs and bruising all around her gut and her on her face.
Akira's smile turns almost innocent as Grimmjow defended Cider and then demanded to be let out for a fight. "How sweet. You actually have faith she will survive this. Sorry, sweetie. She's going to crushed into a pulp like the worthless scum she is. The damned whore." When he mentions what Ichigo did in the past and Kurogane, she frowns. "You're a creepy fellow to know that he caused it. Still, he may have taken my wings, but I've come to love him as much as them. Also, that brat is not mine. I told you that before. I would know if I put my body through a baby." The blade presses harder against him, starting th force it's way through his Heiro to pierce his skin. Of course, it's slow as to let Grimmjow try and stop her not that she thinks he's be able to. As he demands to be free, the smile returns again. "Why would I do that. You're already trapped." As if on cue, the light of one of the bars, let's say to Grimmjow's right, splinters off and aims to skewer him, running jnto his right shoulder and out of his left. It would burn through flesh and bone to get the other side of the cage. See, this Akira has no sense his honor. She isn't about to let him loose to play. No, she will torture him as he is with in her cage of light.

Takuya blinks as Hana corrects him on her name. However, he pays the correction no mind. Instead, he merely insists, "That's what I said. Woman. Wo-man". He doesn't peruse anything as she changes the subject to a more serious subject. Instead, he nods while looking the downed men and women over. None of them are badly hurt, the lie will be easy to make up. His brows furrow as he feels a dreadfully familiar light spike. Unknown to him, Akira is currently planning on having her way with Grimmjow. What he does now is that something is not right and that one of the strongest people he's ever seen is planning on causing trouble. Well shot.....Hopefully she'll stop before he has to put his life on the line for a stupid reason. None the less, he turns and waves them off. "We'll see you at the room then. I'll make sure we have money". He nods once to Yurei, not bothering to mention to either of them the popotential danger they're in for being near by should Akira cause a fuss.
Yurei in the mean time had beamed out at Hana once everyone was knocked out. "We don't have long before they start to stir. I didn't want to hurt them too badly". Ahh Yurei, always the gentle soul despite that hidden lust for blood at the worst of times. No matter. As Takuya assures that he'll cover their backs, she waits until Hana comes back with the plant. "If you can, try to snatch some leftovers for us. It's free food and even when you guys get paid we'll have a limited amount of money". It is with that, that she notes that they're a step closer to making Ichigo and Akira all better. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ichigo stares down at Cider in a way he's in reality only ever looked at two people. Those being Aizen and Naraku. The blood lust and hate sent at Cider as he allows her To desperately hold her ground is this and cold. "Of course she knows all that. I told her, you dolt," Akira would never forget anything pertaining to him. However, his words are lies. He never told her of Ogichi let alone Zangetsu. But Cider doesn't need to know that it's a lie. His mind is distracted from the situation at hand when his vision suddenly blurs. His brows furrow until his sharp eyes catch sight of that mist leaking from Cider's mouth, a grey color. Again his vision blurs, but not enough to hinder him. Just enough to make him notice that he feels the tiniest bit of sleepiness. Well well, the girl isn't stupid after all. Using all that pleading as a trap and just plain pleading. While his natural internal defenses will protect him from fully falling to the mist, in time it will eventually start to heavily effect him as compared to now. "But I'll ask her her, since you're so desperate. You're already almost broken anyways, I don't want to destroy my new toy after only to goes". In addition, he still needs to find and recruit Nise. It is with that, that he Sonidos out of the room, appearing behind Akira in a sound barrier breaking 'boom' that signals both his take off and arrival.
Grimmjow ignores the burning sting of the blade at his throat that begins to work it's way fully through his heiro and breaks skin which in turn causes blood to trickle and touch his nice clothing that Takuya was so kind to get him. "How would I know that he did that if I wasn't there when it happened?" A small lie, as he wasn't there personally to see it but he was in the area so that totally counts in this situation. "That kid is also yours for sure. Why the shit would I tell you he is if he wasn't?" Still, as the second splinter of light makes to run him through, he Sonidos out of the way. Unfortunately for him, he can't get out of the cage as I assume the bars go all the way up to the ceiling. If they don't, then he DOES escape. Either way, he manages to save his own skin, hand flying to Pantera and slowly draws it. "Alright, fine, I'm down for playing," he growls. However, he stops upon seeing Ichigo.
"Fortunately for you, play time is over," Ichigo states before Akira can accept the challenge. While yes, he had gone ahead to beat up Cider, he had done it where none could see. This game, if he allowed it to start, would be out in the open, potentially upsetting Nise and not at all earning his favor. That would be bad for Ichigo and Akira. Best to end it before it starts.
"Afraid I'll bear her pretty face in?"
"Not at all. We merely have more important things to worry about. Plus, you should go check on your friend's broken ribs. One of them may have punctured a lung". He watches with a gaze that would do Aizen proud as Grimmjow's brows furrow. The blueberry disappears in a flash of Sonido, headed for the room Cider had so happily entered moments ago. Ichigo in the mean time greets Akira with a hungry kiss, Cider's trick has already worn out, and his body is still humming with the sadistic pleasure he felt while beating her. "I hope he didn't bore you for too long," He coos smoothly to her. Afterwords, his eye catches their target. Nise is a slender man, his eyes a champaign color while his short messy hair is the color of the sunset and his skin is a creamy tan. His ears are tapered and covered with two metal ear cuffs that to us would make him seem more elven rather than demonic. In all respects, Nise is a handsome fox demon. "Ahh, there he is, Nise. Shall we go greet him?"

Hana glares at Takuya. "One of these days, your arrogance will be the death of you, brute." He doesn't want to use names? Fine then. She won't use them either. Still, as mentioned, she turns the room upside down as she rapidly looks for the plants. Once she has it, she smirks at Takuya. "Let's see if you earned more than I stole." Still, she agrees with Yurei. "That's a good idea." She looks around the kitchen. There's some goodies here that were freshly made. Unless you had plans for them hunting down food, she swipes a platter that has fancily made veggies, and a platter of shellfish and and salmon bites. Each have the linen cloths on the trays they rest on tied up so they can be carried like bags. "Let's get out of here so Takuya- excuse me, the brute, can finish his job." If you do have plans, then I await to see what your plans are as does Hana.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I dare you to ask and see if she 'remembers' anything about them, Ichigo." She says this through the constant beating she receives. "Just you wait. I'll make you see." Tears stream down her face as she meets his hate filled gaze with her own determined, fierce stare. She wishes that was all it took to get her ICHIGO back, but that's wishful thinking. As he is responding to her, if he does, she grunts as she starts to feel more than just a cracked rib or two. Crimson blood trickles down from her mouth and someone from her body. By the time he's about to leave, she's bleeding from her head and mouth and chest, not mentioning the shallow cuts she receives from landing into boxes and other thinks that could cut her up. Once he leaves, her determination melts away. He really hurt her! She never expected him to hurt her so bad, not even when he's fighting a disease like this! Between ragged breathes, she can't stop herself from holding back cries. Hehe, Grimmjow will find himself a broken mess on his hands.
Akira laughs as the kitty moved to dodge her deadly beams. "You're like a monkey hopping around like that." Of course, it's her means of blowing off frustration as, again, he tried to place that brat with me. "You're a fool, GRIMMJOW. For the last time, that kid isn't mine. I won't fall for that ill-planned trap. Take care of your own damn kid. Well... I shouldn't say that since I'm about to carve you up right now." Indeed, the cage is covered over top, but not by the roof, but buy her bars of light that curve up and meet at a point over him like a bird cage. She's about to carve him with another beam of light with Ichigo arrives with a resounding boom behind her. She twirls around all excited as she is kissed so fiercely by him. When e breaks away, she smirks as he mentions cider being hurt. Good. Though, it's not as gratifying as being able to have seen it. She looks at Grimmjow coldly before dropping the cage. She wanted go kill, but Ichigo is right. They're objective is Nise. She looks to the man, and she nods. "We won't gain favor by leaving him alone." She pulls Ichigo along to appear before Nise. "Good evening," she says to him, a dazzling, charming smile slipping onto his face.

Yurei blinks at the little verbal battle between angelic mercenary and human thief. Can't they get along for five minutes? Well, at least they're not as bad as Grimmjow and Akira were back in the day. As Hana goes on to gather tidbits of finger food that they can save money on by eating rather than buying food, she and the thief head out. Though she waves to the wingleness angel upon him using her name in temporary farewell. Once back to the guest room where they started, Yurei pauses to change back into her original clothing and waits for Hana should she chose to do the same. Upon finding and making it back to the boys and Erza, she grins. "We got it," she announces proudly. "One down.....However many left to go".
Takuya blinks at the thief, "My arrogance?" However, as the girls take their leave, he gives parting words, "Don't get caught Woman, Yurei".
Erza smiles upon seeing the familiar frames of Yurei and Hana coming towards theM, but she's not the first one to spot them. Still, she laughs lightly at Yurei's half clueless statement. "I believe we still need that bulb from the active volcano in the Land of Dragons, the lettuce from the Neutral Lands and the bush from the Land of Humans". She jostles Kurogane lightly, shifting his position from one to another. "Still, that's great news. Do you think the others will be done their job soon?"
In the mean time, the sight Grimmjow sees is that of turned.over boxes and messed up shelves. His eyes Widen to find Cider in the state she is. He finds her crying, upset and definitely hurt. The blood from her mouth suggests internal bleeding. "Shit. Cider," he calls, awkwardly drawing her into his arms in an attempt to gently cradle her as well as look her over better. "Idiot, why did you believe anything he said? You've got to realize that 'love' doesn't fix everything. You knew he wasn't good news the moment we found.out he was sick and you still try to reason with him?" He can't fully blame her. But would he do the same if he were in love with Akira while this is happening (he believes what he feels to just be lust right now)? He doesn't know. Just as awkwardly as he holds her, he tries to calm her. It's all he can do at the moment. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ichigo silently buffs, not amused by the girl's determination despite being beaten down. Not at all. However, an idea pops into his head while a half truthful, half mocking smile spreads onto his lips. He's pleased to watch blood travel from her mouth as he talks. "I'll be waiting for you then," he now coos her name, "Cider". Upon losing Grimmjow and finding himself in front Of Nise, he stares the handsome fox demon down casually, calm despite the intimidating air that naturally wafts off him.
Nise is taken aback by the sudden greeting, however upon seeing the beautiful Angel in front of him, a smile spreads across his lips. "Good evening, fair lady," it is here that he truly assesses the power he can feel coming off the woman and her male friend. The two are terrifyingly powerful, best keep on their good side. "How might I be of service to you and the kind gentleman escorting you?"
Ichigo places a grin onto his lips as Nise offers to be of service. Excellent, the man is smart enough to assume they need something. Most would be groveling by now. He offers a hand which is gladly taken, "I'm Ichigo Kurosaki and this beautiful woman here is Akira. Might we have a word with you? In private?"
Nise doesn't dare narrow his eyes or furrow his brows in curiosity lest he perhaps piss the two powerful creatures off. Instead, he agrees, "Of course! Right this way; well discuss this in my meeting room". With a grand becon for them to follow, he turns and leaves the grand room, leaving behind the beautiful music and appealing women he was hoping to mingle with. Instead, he leads the way through the halls to a room with a long oak table and chairs a-plenty. The room is otherwise Spartan. He sits at one of the heads of the table, Ichigo sitting a few spots down from him. "Now, what is it you wanted to discuss with me?"
Ichigo, once settled down, gets straight to the point. "Put simply, I wish for you to join my army. My goal is, put simply, domination of this entire continent. World domination is unnecessary. But in order to do this, I need a large army, as well as multiple captains. I am offering you a position as captain of my Assassin's Branch. What say you?"
Nise of course is obviously surprised by the offer, a wave of both pride and gratitude washing over him. For such a powerful being to offer him a position let alone a captain's position, in his army that is sure to succeed with him and the beautiful Angel backing it.....How could he not accept? But wait, he can't be as excited as he is, he'd seem like some sort of child! He has to play it cool. As such, he turns to Aira, wherever she is, And.questions. "Miss Akira, how do you feel about Lord Ichigo's goal? D you believe he can succeed?"

"Yes. Arrogance. You do know what it means, right?" She then goes with Yurei to flea the scene. She looks at her old clothes once they're back into the guest room. They're rather ragged and torn. While a maid suit doesn't appease her, she'd rather wear it than the dirty old clothes she's had for the longest time. She will swipe a jacket to cover herself up, but otherwise keeps the clothes she has. She jumps out to meet the boys, Erza, and Kurogane. "We got the plant and sinner for everyone, even Cider, Grimmjow, and that brute angel when they get back." she looks to Kyo. "Oi. Get us a nice room, would ya? I'd do it myself, but all of us would have a hard time getting a decent room, especially me." She shuffles the bag of goodies she's carrying. "Just get one nearby. Maybe two if the rooms are that small. We need money to last as long as we can, so so long we have room for all of us to lay down, we will be ok." Still, she could care less right now if he swipes five high end suites so long she can get indoors and eat her treasures.
Kyo has been waiting a while in the shadows. He's gotten pretty hungry, and Kurogane certainly is. He's squirming and fidgeting and starting to get whiney. Of course, he's certainly not used to being hungry like he must be. His appetite is growing exponentially, and Akira always took measures to make sure he was fed. They'd feed him, but they have no food. All he can do is let the baby squirm and hope he doesn't attract attention. He can smell faintly the scent of their ill friends inside the house a long with their three troops and Hana and Yurei. Once they get back, the scent of food hits him. "You really are useful, aren't you?" He was expecting some retort, but he's ignored as she goes straight to finding a room. Boo. She's no fun. Kyo sighs as he looks to the others. "Fine, lets find an inn." He looks to Erza, and he smirks. "Shall we go?" And with that, regardless of her answer, he's off. He remembers two inns in this town on the way to the mansion here. He starts retracing his steps, and soon finds the one he had recalled. It is fairly decent looking. It's small, but vary clean and far from plain. "let's try this one," he says. He approaches the innkeeper once inside. It's filled with rustic lamps, a few green shrubs, and a warm fireplace. The innkeeper, an older house cat demon, gives him one room, the largest one he has available which he claims could comfortably let all of their party sleep comfortably. The room itself is one, big, open room. It has two King sized bed, a couch, a kitchen with everything but food, and of course a bathroom. It's be tight, but Kyo figures it'll suffice for them. "Happy now?" He questions Hana. Hes returned with a nod. "Now, 'bout that food?"
Kouga meanwhile is busy trying to distract Kurogane unlike Kyo's ignoring method. He makes faces and tries to show weird objects to keep Him occupied, but it became very hard over the long time they sit waiting. Once Yurei and Hana return, he beams at Yurei. "I'm glad to see you're well, love." He greets her with a swift embrace before looking to the food and plants Hana has. "Wow. Did you get all the treasure in his chamber while you're at it?" She didn't get into any treasure chamber, but Hana smirks as she pats her pocket. She's got a few goodies in her pocket as well. He takes Yurei's hand before Kyo leads he way to an inn. Once they have their room, he jumps into one of the beds. "I'll take a bed," he says as he sprawls out as if it's all his.
Cider barely noticed Grimmjow until he collected her up in his arms. Big, teary blue eyes meet Grimmjow's own widened blue eyes. "I-Im sorry," she whimpers. I just wanted my Ichigo back." She leans against him as her body protests her crying thanks to all the broken bones that restrict her breathing among other movement. She takes full use of his awkward support to rest against him and let herself cry a little. "Don't you want akira back?" She whimpers after about 5 minutes. Regardless, she whimpers, "can we just get out of here please? Takuya can take care of the rest.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Akira smirks as she follows Ichigo and Nise to the place with the oak table. She boldly sits in Ichigo's lap. She watches Nise as he is given their offer. He doesn't seem put off by the idea. That's a good start. As he asks her opinion, her previously impassive face breaks into a sneer. "I think his plans will happen. We wouldn't even need captains or an army. We merely are looking for one to speed up our goals. Now, we find your position and power to be of potential use. You can either join us and have some glory for yourself and have our favor." She tilts her head slightly. "Wouldn't that be a grand position, Nise?" Should be look doubtful, she says, "Domt underestimate our strength, mlord. Especially not Ichigo's. His power is all his own, and no fool could stand a chance against him."

Takuya scoffs before rolling his eyes and setting to the job of slightly messing up his clothing and knocking various things from counters and such to make it seem like there was a small scuffle. Once things are set up to his liking, he then sets to waking everyone up, asking if they are okay, if they had seen their attacker(s)- they hadn't- and then telling them the story he's managed to swiftly put together. All the while cleaning up his mess and clothing from the 'fight' he had been through. Things are going smoothly for now so....There's little to nothing to worry about for the time being.
In the mean time, Yurei smiles and greets her lover with her own quick embrace before taking a pissy Kurogane from Erza whom obviously is at her wits' end with the boy. Unlike Akira or the bone mistress, Titania is not a natural at caring for children, it seems. None the less, she follows after Kyo as he takes on the duty of getting them a place to stay for the time being. Yurei chuckles at the dragon before giggling at her lover. After grabbing some food and prepping it for the infant, she places him in a spot where he won't get hurt and where he can eat away at the food given to him in peace while the grown ups are doing their own thing if need be. She turns and then flops backwards onto Kouga, back bending backwards to curl around his torso. "You mean we'll take this bed, right?" She teases.
Erza had indeed been getting to her wits' end as Yurei so kindly guessed to herself. While Kouga was a huge help in trying to get Kurogane to be calm and stay that way, but even with the both of them it was starting to get difficult. She knows the boy is hungry, but unfortunately he doesn't yet understand what 'wait' means. None the less, she's hightly grateful that Yurei takes the fussy boy off her hands with one hand, while taking Kouga's hand with her remaining free one. She smirks to Hana upon seeing her pat her pocket calmly. "Do you think you got more than what the others are going to get paid?" It's obvious to the red head that that's what the girl is hoping for herself. None the less, she finds herself in a simple but still rather nice room with just enough space for all of them to settle down. Upon the prompting for food, and upon seeing Yurei fooling around after setting up Kurogane in his own little spot where he can be seen by everyone but is out of the way and able to do his own thing, she herself heads for the food and throws the first thing she pulls from Hana's sack of goodies to Kyo. "Here, start with that before you shrivel up and die," she teases before pulling out another treat for herself.
Grimmjow honestly doesn't know if he should continue to hold the crying woman longer or not. He means, in the end, she IS Kurosaki's, and from one Hollow to another, holding the other's girlfriend- although current circumstances don't make it seem that way at the moment- just makes him feel like he's trodding on the other's turf.....Which in a sense he is. All in all, he doesn't fully feel it's right. However, he harshly shoves those thoughts away and still lets her use him as support for as long as she needs him. He goes on to, with one hand, blotch at what's bleeding with one of his sleeves, currently not caring about the nice fabric getting ruined. Upon hearing her explanation, he heaves out a long sigh, "I know you do," he assures. However, her question takes him by utter and complete surprise. Nothing in hell, let alone Hueco Mundo or even Las Nochas could have prepared him for a question like that. Does he? Does he want to get her back?.....Of course he does. But if he answers it like that, will Cider think he's got some sort of thing for the damnable Angel woman? While he'll admit that he cares and lusts for her, if he were to answer her question honestly, would she think as mentioned? Does it really matter? After a moment's silence, he answers, "I want Kurogane to have his mother back. So yes". There, that should suffice.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nise's eyes travel from face to face as he hears Akira's straight forward answer. They don't NEED him to succeed, but they WANT him. And she's right. Working under a person like Ichigo's command is a grand position indeed. And as a Captain no less! Captain of what, however? "Forgive my abruptness, but what exactly would I be Captain of?"
Ichigo's golden and black eyes narrow, pleased. I believe I said earlier that he'd be the assassin's Captain so...yea XD. Just hearing Nise's interest, as slight as the fox tries to make it seem, pleases the long haired carrot top. "You'll be heading my Assassin's portion of the army. Currently the chair for Captain of that troop is empty. If you take this position, you will be in charge of the current Assassins we have, as well as gathering forth a large enough number that doing jobs and spreading rumors is done with as relative ease as possible. Do you think you can do that?"
Nise is silent as he ponders for a moment on his options. Option One: Accept the offer and be successful and safe for the rest of his life or until Ichigo no longer needs him- which Nise plans on being extremely useful for the rest of his days. Option Two: Turn Ichigo and Akira down and get killed by either of them depending on how much either one of them wants his blood on their hands. He doesn't really like the sound of option two at all so......Nise stands before bowing his frame low, eyes cast to the ground respectfully, "I humbly accept your offer, Lord Ichigo, Lady Akira".
Ichigo is greatly pleased with this answer, "Excellent. Pack your things immediately. We're leaving as soon as you're ready".
"E-Excuse me sir?...Leaving?" Nise doesn't completely understand...Where would he be going?
"Yes. You don't expect to be somewhere where Akira, Saska whom is my left hand, or I cannot watch you in person, do you?" Nise flinches. Ichigo doesn't trust him? Well....Nise supposes that's reasonable. "You'll be living in my and Akira's home for now. Pack what you wish to keep and then we'll leave. We'll be waiting for you in the ball room". Without another word, Ichigo motions gently for Akira to stand before standing himself in front of the still bowing fox demon. He turns, taking Akira's hand into his own and twining their fingers. "Do not dawdle, our time is precious".
"Of course, Lord Ichigo!" Nise bows a bit lower, staying in position until the duo are out of the room.
Once back in the ball room, Ichigo sighs, casaully stretching his back, "Damn it, I hate being so formal. It's stupid," he lightly whines lowly but is rewarded with a popping of his spine. He looks to the beautiful woman at his side before smiling and offering his other hand, "Have you gotten to dance yet, my lady?"

Hana smirks at Yurei. "Even without the money Ill spend on tonight's room, I bet ya I got plenty more than that angel." She sure hopes so at least. Oh how she'd love that man's reaction to her having stolen more than he earned. He's so damn proud, he'd probably sulk about it. The wheel turns in her mind as she plays scenarios of a Takuya whining and bitching about how she made so much more. Still, once they have their room, she flops onto the couch. Not one to share a bed, she might as well claim the couch and let the others squabble over the beds. There, she unwraps the portion she saved for herself. Veggies like these ones and steamed oysters are delicacies for someone like her. She gobbles her portions up, showing no signs of satisfaction until it's all gone from in front of her. She's love to eat more, but she figures it'd be best to save the rest for the others since they all need to eat.
Kouga is relieved that Yurei is taking Kurogane. The little boy stifles his cries a little more, especially now that he can smell the food in Hana's bags. Still, once in the room, he grunts as he's jumped on (well flopped onto) by Yurei. "Yea, yea. Our bed." He closes his eyes a moment as if he's ready to sleep. However, he says, "I really do love you, but I'd like to get some food for myself. So, if you wouldn't mind moving, love." He waits for her to move before moving himself. F she stays where she is, then so does he, and he whines pitifully like a little, starved puppy whines at his mother for food. Kurogane is having a blast with his meal, and here he is forced to starve. The lucky little mutt. Seriously, he's happily munching on his veggies and shell fish goodies. Of course, being s very young baby who's just barely gotten to crawling around, he has an issue with avoiding messed. A little bit of the shell fish gets wiped on the floor where he is (for any poor soul to step on, hehe.)
Kyo tsks at Hana's pride in her master-thief-loot. She does her job well, though. It's no wonder Takuya nearly lost all his gold. He would have lost it had it not been for Kyo and his band of friends. Still, once in the room, he lets out s big sigh. This world will be the death of him if he has to keep acting as spokesperson for their group. The prejudice here really is a menace. He looks to the treat offered to him by Erza. "Oh, why thank you." He nods as he greatful ly takes it, it being one of the salmon bites. He notes that while they swiped a lot of food, they'll have to be careful not to eat too much of it before Takuya, Grimmjow, and Cider even get here. Still, he says, "Well then im sleeping in this bed. I don't want to sleep next to a guy." He sits there as he carefully eats at the shellfish and salmon and vegetables, wanting to avoid making a mess of food on his temporary bed. He looks to Erza, and with not even an ounce of thought, he says, "I can share a bed with you." He smirks at her.
Cider states at Grimmjow a moment as he ponders her question. The answer he gives does satisfy her, even if it's just him trying to lose responsibility of Kurogane. she huddles close to Grimmjow, her eyes closed. "I don't want to go back to the party, Grimmjow." She can barely breathe let alone move, and she's beuised and bloody now thanks to the diseased Ichigo. She wants nothing more than to go crawl into a hole and die. For now, she just settles on hiding ther face in Gimmy's clothes chest and trying desperately, in vain of course, to stifle her depression and extreme wish to just cry. There's not much to say otherwise.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Akira watches Nise fall for their sweet words of promise and pleasantry. She immediately smiles once Nise agrees to their offer. "This is wonderful news!" She cries with an almost innocent smile. She gets up when motioned, and to Nise, she says, "You needn't worry, lord Nise. Your stay with us will be as pleasant as it is to live here, only it will give you ample power since you will be in charge of so much of our forces." She follows Ichigo out into the ballroom once more. Everyone carries on as though she wasn't about to just carve up a guard, or that their host has just agreed to the plans that would lead to domination over all of them. She looks to Ichigo, and her head tilts. "I don't remember if we did,'so why don't we make sure now." She smirks as she takes his hand and starts to dance. "Tell me. Was it fun crushing that little Cider bitch? Did she squeal?"

Yurei giggles at Hana, pleased to see her showing some sort of emotion other than anger towards Takuya or indifference towards the looks those not demomic, angelic, or even spiritual out of the group. She giggles as Kouga agrees that it's their bed, already knowing that he wouldn't stand for her not sharing it with him in the first place. Being the kind girlfriend she is, she laughs again and picks herself up, "I don't want to starve my adorable boyfriend, now do I?" She beams to the man. Like any person in a happy and stable relationship, she could never tire of hearing things such as 'I love you' coming from her partner. She gets some food for herself before munching down on salmon and some sort of crab bite of sorts. She's not one for sea food, and sure there's other stuff to pick from, but it's food so she won't complain.
Erza in the mean time beams to Kyo as he thanks her for the food and munches down on her bacon wrapped dates- or the equivalent to such a snack in this edo-esque place. For the most part she pulls herself into relaxed silence. Things, despite the situation with Ichigo and Akira, are going pretty well. That is, no one's REALLY openly lashed out at anyone, such as going so far as to start a fight with any of her fellow humans. Which is good because they'd get their ass kicked. However, the estimated time it'll take them to gather up the ingredients does worry her. Does the disease get worse as time goes on? Will Ichigo and Akira eventually forget one another and get into some sort of fight where only one person is the winner? Will they become so annoyed with Erza and her friends that they'll actually try to kill them? Because it's obvious that while they could have out right killed them all the first time, the group is a bundle of toys it seems. At least, that's what the two ultimate powerhouses make Erza feel like that's what's going on. However, she's brought from her thoughts when Kyo offers to share a bed with her. Now, back in the day before Kyo's make over, and before their fight, she would have had no problem at all accepting the offer. She would have been able to say 'okay' with a smile and a calm heart. However, ever since his make over from back in the Exorcist world and THEN when he saved her life back in the Titan world....Her face turns the color of her hear. H-Her and K-Kyo?! In the same bed!? All snuggled up to one another?! Oh god, what if she embarrasses herself by snuggling up to his broad chest like some sort of red haired kitten?! Yes indeed, folks, Erza has fallen, and she has fallen HARD. But, despite the fact that she thinks declining the offer would be best, her mouth has other ideas. "Th-That sounds fine to me," it says for her despite her now pink- as opposed to earlier red- cheeks.
With the whole situation all done and taken care of in the kitchen, Takuya expands his senses to check on the party and his newly found friends. His brows furrow. Broken for one, and highly frustrated for the other. He purses his lips. "Not good". In a small burst of light, he disappears before reappearing in the storage room where Ichigo had once more broken down Cider. "Hey, what's- What the hell?!" Takuya's voice raises in volume upon seeing the beaten and battered Cider in Grimmjow's arms. "What happened?!" Upon Grimmjow's explanation, his face scowls before he steps forward and does what he can to heal Cider while the blueberry holds her still for him. His work is nowhere near as flawless as Akira's, and as such the Shini-Witch may or may not be sore still, but it gets the job done and the wounds, bones and all, are as they should be. Hearing Grimmjow's stern demand that won't take 'no' for an answer, Takuya nods, "I'll meet you outside the building in the front. I'm gonna go get our pay". By the time he arrives back with Grimmjow and Cider outside Nise's home, a large bag filled with their payment rests in his hand. He doesn't need to be told to find the others, already doing so by the time he arrives outside. And upon finding the other half of their group, he leads the way. About ten minutes or so later, he finds himself walking into the room, eyeing the others as they do their own thing and grabbing a small bite to eat as he hadn't had anything at the party. He sighs, letting Grimmjow explain what had happened at the party, sitting on his ass on a counter top, munching away.
Grimmjow sighs low and slow, "I know you don't," he already figured she wouldn't want to do anything but wallow in her sorrow the moment she left with Ichigo. The not so sensitive part of him urges that he chastise her as harshly as he can for being such an idiot. However, though it's a fight, he holds back from saying anything mean to her. Instead, he shuffles around so that her injured ribs aren't against him and he's holding her bridal style. "Let's go find-" but he doesn't need to finish his sentence as Takuya appears in front of him with a dull burst of light- as opposed to Akira's brighter burst when she becomes light to travel. "Kurosaki tricked Cider somehow," he's not going to go into great detail, "And she let her guard down. He beat her up; I found her like this while Akira was keeping me away so Kurosaki could do what he pleased. Let's get back to the others". He stands still and lets Takuya work his flawed magic on healing Cider as best he can before following the wingless Angel's instructions. Not knowing if the pain is still there or not, he moves as smoothly as he can until he's outside waiting for Takuya. He doesn't want the once more emotionally battered woman walking, so he carries her all the way to where the others are apparently staying. And upon getting surprised and worried looks from Erza and Yurei respectively, he again explains things from how he saw it. He puts Cider down on the nearest soft object before grabbing a snack and zoning in on Kurogane. "Have you been good for everyone, brat?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nise smiles upon Akira's obviously pleased words, and feels a bit of a relief when the beautiful Angel assures him that he'll be watched due to the power he'll be handling in the near future. That's understandable. In the mean time Ichigo can't help but be amused by the fact that none of those attending the ball seem to give away the fact that a guard was almost killed and another had been emotionally scarred. But even so, he beams as Akira and he begin to dance. It feels wonderful to have the Angel against his body, purifying his skin from the taint Cider had left behind. Plus, she's a much better dancer. "It was more fun than the first time not so long ago. She didn't squeal, but she sure as hell was about to," he chuckles lowly in his throat, "I wish you could have seen her. She was trying so hard to get me to 'remember' her and her friends. She even tried to convince me that she knew about Ogichi and Zangetsu through me, rather than some other means that she most likely used. And then she went and said my family was alive, which made me want to rip her skin from her bones, and that she knew them. Still, over all it was amazing". Once the song is over, and by the time Nise is done packing, Ichigo finds himself stepping out of the castle and into the carriage that had brought them to the ball. He grins as he leans back in his seat once the horse begins to move the wheeled cart forwards rapidly, "I think tonight was pretty damn awesome. Don't the two of you?"
Nise, sitting across from Ichigo and Akira, nods as he does his best to relax. He's very excited for the future. "Yes, my Lord, I think tonight has been splendid".

The only reason her attitude isn't hateful or hostile is that she is eager about seeing a Takuya with his ego deflated because he did worse than she did in earnings. In fact, she eagerly waits for him just for that. "Oi!" She calls to Takuya once he's in the room. "How much did you make?" She observed what ever he shows her if he does. A grin breaks on her face as, if you'd allow, Hana sees she's clearly earned more. "i stole way more than that." Regardless of if anyone cares, she gives him a smug look. Still, when she looks go Cider, she gives a soft whistle. She really was fooled, huh? At least she was left alive. During The brief time she had spent observing Ichigo, she knows Cider very well could have been killed. "Just lay her down to rest, I suppose. Those beds look big enough to three of them to share. She will keep to We couch, and that will leave one poor soul with out a bed. Oh well. She just lays back on her couch as she listens to them.
Kyo nods to Erza. "Yea. You, and probably Cider when she gets in. I don't want to sleep with guys, so might as well have the lovely Titania and Ichigo's girlfriend to keep Takuya and Grimmjow sleep elsewhere." Still, as the mentioned group strolls in, he looks to them. "Welcome ba-" he starts to say before he sees Cider. She doesn't look as in pain as before, but it still looks like she suffered a nasty beating physically and psychologically. "Once kurosaki is back to normal, I'll torch his sorry ass." How dare he make a girl hurt so unnecessarily! And it's his girlfriend of all people. He may not regret it now, but once he returns to normal, Ichigo he thinks will hate himself for hurting Cider if he remembers tonight. Still, he listens as they start asking about the next ingredient. "Shouldn't we just rest for now and continue in the morning?" Because honestly, he could pass out right now even though he's trying to pay attention.
Kouga gets up once Yurei is off of him. "Thank you. Id like to avoid starving myself too." He looks at his food that he gets before eating it all. Crab legs, salmon, and a few carrots all go down swiftly. Once Takuya and Grimmjow and Cider are in the room, he feels a little relief. They could all do their jobs with ease this time around. Still, he looks to the others after Cider has been sat down. Kurogane is happily greeting his Grimmjow. He crawls up and starts tugging on the hollow's pant leg. Eventually, he pulls strong enough to even bring himself to his feet. He's very unsteady, but he holds to Grimmjow for balance as he looks up at him with a big, happy smile. "He let us know we were late for dinner for sure," Kouga answers for the baby. Still, he looks to TE others. "What's the next thing we've got to get?" Hopefully with all the money they earned, they can just focus on retrieving ingredients for at least a few days if not more.
Cider hardly reacts to the feeling of Takuya nearby or his healing hands repairing her body. She's not perfect, but at least she can breathe, and at least she isn't in pain all over like before. this lets her relax just a bit in Grimmjow's arms. However, she still feels humiliated and defeated from being beat half to death by her boyfriend. She knows he is sick, but it really shakes her trust for him. She tries to shake that feeling, but it's hard to. She lets herself be carried off. Let's say she's set on a shorter couch, a love seat really. It's just the right length for her petite body to rest on. She hardly pays attention to the plans or the food. She's had her fill at the party and right now her appetite is next to none anyways.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Akira twirls and dances with the song, following Ichigo's lead seamlessly. As he describes her pleas and desperate attempts, Akira tilts her head. "Ogichi? Zangetsu? Who are they?" Her muddy mind tries to rake in some memory of them. Ichigo seems like he and they were on good terms, so why can't she remember them for the life of her? What ever the answer, once the song is over, she follows Ichigo out to the carriage where she slides in across from Nise. "The night has been Avery beautiful night, though I think it could have been even more beautiful." She had been hoping to watch blood spill, after all, and she never really saw it. Oh well. They have Nise and that's what's important.

Grimmjow huffs as he settles Cider down carefully, minding how he places her before checking on Kurogane as mentioned. As the boy makes his way to him, and even pulls himself into a standing position, Grimmjow stares for a moment. The child's innocence momentarily amuses him, prompting him to pick the toddler up. "I bet you're gonna eat like your pop, at the rate you're goin'. Idiot," he chastises the boy, "Don't go eating a bunch when we've got barely anything. Silently, he berates himself for having become such a softie. And really, he's itching for a good fight- maybe Kurosaki will give him one next time they meet?- by now. Still, he holds the boy against his hip for a moment, taking the time to ruffle the hair on the boy's head before putting hims back down and plopping down next to him so that he can eat his meal. To Kyo he grunts, "Get in line. I've got first dibs on the asshole," what kind of guy beats his lover? Diseased and fucked up in the head or not, you don't near kill someone who claims to love you. However, he nods as Yurei mentions what they should probably go after next, along with Takuy'a mention of words. "We should go to the Humans' place".
Erza had been too flushed to realize that Kyo had gone and included Cider in on the equation. She could only think about her and the handsome dragon sharing a bed still. However, as Cider is carried in and things are explained, her good mood plummets. Damn that Ichigo! He's worse than anyone she's ever met or seen, diseased as he is! He's a monster! A true, heartless, monster! She sighs as she sets herself up on the bed she and Kyo will be sharing for the night, leaning back on her hands once she's finished eating. "I believe we have the bulb in the active volcano in the Land of Dragons, the orange lettuce that's from the Neutral Lands and the bush from the Land of Humans". She blinks upon hearing Takuya and then Grimmjow, "So we'll end in the Land of Dragons and then go back to that doctor that offered to make us the potion?"
"I made about 200,000 kel(kel is the universal currency. 200,000 is the same as 200 dollars)," however, upon hearing Hana brag that she obviously got more, he scowls and turns away with a huff, "Shut up," is all his pride allows him to snap out at the girl. Feh, the girl gets more than him just by stealing it? What kind of world do they live in? How annoying. Tch. Takuya grunts himself, "It's in the past," he tells both Grimmjow and Kyo, one of his hands hovering over Cider in an attempt to find any sort of injuries that he may have missed or improperly healed. He doesn't find anything, leaving him to settle down and lean against the side of Cider's love seat as he munches on food. "Our best bet is to go where the Humans live, back track and go through the Neutral Lands before hitting the Land of the Dragons and then going all the way back to the doctor".
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ichigo purses his lips as Akira questions as to who Zangetsu and Ogichi were. She doesn't know? Surely he told her....Right? He shoves Cider's remembered words aside before stating, "Put simply, they were the personifications of my powers. After mastering my powers, they disappeared". Thanks to the speed at which the carriage travels, Ichgio, Akira and Nise make it back to their home in record time. The horses tiredly huff in and out air as the carriage driver tends to their legs, rubbing them down with caring hands and praising them for their work. Ichigo ignores the driver, finding no need to praise animals that are slower than him when he's at his slowest. Instead, he greets a patiently waiting Saska, whom opens the door with a calm smile. "Good evening, Saska. I trust things were well while Akira and I were away?"
Saska smiles brightly to his leader, "Yes, my Lord. Things remained stable. I've heard through some of our contacts that word of your power has already begun to spread far and wide along the continent".
"Excellent," Ichigo praises, "Take Nise and settle him into the castle; give him the basics and tell him what needs to be done. In the mean time, I am tired," or rather, slightly bothered, "And will be calling it a night". He turns and smiles to Akira before stealing a quick kiss goodnight, and turns in order to head to his room. From this point, I think I'll leave Ichigo alone for now, until his next move needs to be made.

Hana giggles as she grins at Takuya. "I don't think I will," she brags to the angel. The fact that he's so annoyed makes her very satisfied. She smirks the rest of the time as they discuss their plans. "That would keep us moving smoothly. I'd hate to keep running back and forth." She thinks about the bush in tbe human world where she's been several times. She used to live there until she was about ten. Then she moved to this town for reasons unknown to all but her. She finally lets her smirk fall as she falls into deep thought about things going on in her head as she lays back down on the couch. They should get some rest so they can move on all day tomorrow. She passes out pretty fast unless you have further plans for tonight. And in the morning, she will be taking a shower in the bathroom, having gotten little sleep in the end.
Kyo huffs. "Look at Cider. It is NOT in the past. Not for her, and so not for us." He wants to move on, but they can't fully do so so long Cider is as she is. Still, he listens to their plans for the rest of the ingredients. "That sounds fine to me. And then we can spend the last of our searching for wingless angels that would give blood so willingly." Seriously. That worries him the most. How will they know ones an angel? And then hoe would they convince her? The amount that the list calls for is enough to make even a grown make like himself light headed. "Regardless, let's get some rest. Good luck finding spots to sleep." He sprawls out so only Erza can find room with him. That leaves a spot on the giant bed Kouga and Yurei (whom I assume are passed out) are in, and one to make room some how some way lol.
Kurogane relaxes against Grimmjow as he's scooped up. A little hand reached up as Grimmjow mentions his appetite like his dad's. The hand rests on his jaw. "Grimmjow," he struggles to say. The name is hard for his mind and mouth to comprehend, so it's very butchered, but not intentionally. Soon after, be decided to try a much easier name to call is favorite dude. "Papa." This gets a little chuckle from Kyo as he over hears Grimmjow being called "papa." He barely knows his real dad, so Grimmjow really has been almost a substitute for him. Once set down, he gives up on try to stand again, and he settles for crawling to explore the room. He seems curious and happy, though his little baby mind is just trying to find momma. Her scent, her light, lingers on Grimmjow tonight from her light touching him. He doesn't know why he's reminded of mom. He doesn't notice its a scent that by coincidence happened to be on Grimmjow. He Just looks, hoping to find her nearby until he's passed out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Akira's brow furrows. "Personified powers?" She looks skeptically at him. That's right. She thinks he's nuts. Even as powerful as he is, AKIRA had never heard of power being so great, it gets an entire body and mind of its own. She drops the subject for more pleasant matters until thei arrive at their beloved home. "Ah, I never get tired of how beautiful it is here," she coos as she stares at the majestic home and the surrounding land. She greets Saska like a friend as well, beaming as they show theyve successfully collected a new captain for their ranks. As Saska sees Nise off, she looks to Ichigo. "Night, love," she tells him after his kiss before retiring to her own room herself.

Takuya huffs, glaring off to the side as Hana insists on giggling out her win at him. God, her laughter is like nails running across a chalkboard. Still, he relents as Kyo insists that things are not in the past. He can't argue his point, as it's the way he thinks which is obviously not a good way to think at this point. They need the harm done to Cider to stand in the forefront of their minds to help drive them forward towards their goal other than the fact that their friends are ill and that they'll most likely destroy this continent if not brought to a stop. With everyone falling asleep, he sighs and leans his head back against Cider's couch, eyes closing the last of the lot of them, his body alert despite the rest coming its way. When morning hits, he's already awake. In fact, should anyone (Kyo probably) be awake by the time the sun rises, he suddenly flashes into the room. In the middle of the night after getting his natural two hours of sleep- a bad habit picked up after years of being on the road alone as a bounty hunter- he had gone to the Land of the Humans and checked out the current situation in secret. He did not like what he saw. Being the only one with knowledge about the other Lands other than Hana, it's best he continue with what he has been doing and give the others information they may need. It was the reason as to why he had disappeared in the middle of the night. For now, until everyone is awake, he sits where he had gone to sleep, keeping to himself.
Erza nods, "We have to move faster than ever in getting these ingredients together. Before Cider gets hurt- probably killed- again. And before Ichigo and Akira can hurt the people of this world more than they already have". It's amazing that they haven't wiped out an entire race yet. Emphasis on 'yet'. She giggles upon hearing Kurogane give up on saying Grimmjow's name and opt for a better title that suits the blueberry well her her eyes. The man seriously has been the father figure of the child since he joined the group, even if his joining was a rough road at first. Grimmjow's reaction is also rather amusing. Still, as everyone calls for bedtime, Erza shakes her head at Kyo's sprawled frame....Until she remembers that she's gonna be sharing a bed with the oaf. Her face becomes bright red, hiding it from anyone who may be able to see it. This is going to be....New. But she dare not run away when she can spend a night so close to him after so long of staying at a distance longer than arm's reach. Carefully, she re-quips into some simple pink pajamas and crawls her way under the covers and carefully presses her back to the nearest portion of Kyo. She falls asleep, both elated that she's gathered the courage to do as she is, and afraid of the possibility that she may wake up with Kyo no where near her. By the time morning hits, she is still soundly asleep, curled into a safe ball and hair strewn this way and that in a graceful way that only Erza could accomplish.
"....P-Papa?!" he echoes the little demon-angel child, his tan skin becoming an embarrassed shade of red that he never thought he could become in a million years. He.....The brat just called him 'papa'! He cannot bring his mouth to form the words that would loudly deny such a statement. He's reluctant to admit to even himself that the title would bring warmth to his heart if he had one...Instead it brings a proud subtle glow to his entire person. "Damn it," he grumbles to the kid, "You're getting down".....He's not even Akira's lover. He has no right to be called 'papa'. This, he keeps telling himself. Grimmjow in the mean time looks from the indeed passed out Yurei and probably Kouga before sighing, "So, Human Lands, Neutral Lands, Dragon Lands and then finally back to the doctor. Sounds easy enough. We have to move faster though. This is taking too long". And not because he's impatient either. He is one of the last of the group to fall asleep, gathering up Kurogane and putting the boy on his torso as he simply uses the floor as a bed. An arm keeps Kurogane warm and secure while his other hand clasps Pantera, his legs sprawl and his mouth hangs open in a silent snore.
Yurei in the mean time will be the third of my guys to wake up, just before Erza. She wakes up easily, having had a nice long rest. Something badly needed after all of the action they've been getting recently. None the less, she steals the bathroom and shower the first moment she can, ridding herself of grime and the like as best she can because she doubts they'll be staying at an Inn on a regular basis from now on. Once out of the shower, she settles down, grabbing up a bit of food first, before questioning, "What's the game plan?" Should she be told, she stands after her small bite to eat and goes to check on Cider should she still be down for the count.

Hana comes out of the bathroom not long after Takuya gets home. She's all soft and clean from a shower she hasn't had in a while. Don't get me wrong, she stays clean. She just never had a bathroom with a shower in her little hit. She'd have to wash in the lakes and rivers. She slinks into the kitchen with a happy little grin on her face. Little does the 'human' realize that the shower helped to run away most of the human smell she wears. That, and she found some decent clothes to wear that were clean and tear-free. With that human scent muddled down to a minimal for someone who's been human as long as her, she takes to scavenging what's left over from her and Yurei's heist. There's a good snack for everyone to wake up to. She looks to the angel who appears awake. "Are you gonna eat, angel?" If he refuses, she gladly takes his portion. She'll takenfood where ever she can find it. Hana nibbles on her breakfast with a pleasant smile as she gives a soft, barely-audible hum.
Cider wakes up late in the morning. Blue eyes stare at a fuzzy ceiling. Her head is spinning, and every inch of her body aches with even a flick of movement. For that reason, she stays still. The only sign of life are her dull, blank gaze and her steady, shallow-ish breaths. Sleeping was hard as her dreams were nothing but of her and Ichigo in the past followed by these past few days. She can't even bring herself to eat something since she didn't get a decent enough dinner and is starving now. She can only wait until they have to move before trying to force herself up.
Heh... Ya know what? Erza isn't gonna wake up to his absence. No. Kyo decided to stir in his sleep and huddle to something that's very warm beside of him: a certain red headed female body. With this heating pad, he needn't wake up early for once. He merely nuzzles her and holds her close until he feels he can no longer rest his eyes. If she escapes him, he'll wake up ten minutes later completely oblivious to using her as a hot body pillow. If she doesn't move, she's met with, "Why are you so close to me while you sleep." A smirk would then fall on his face as he says, "You weren't trying to be a pervert, were you?" He gets up and stretches either way. "I'm hungry," he mutters. Time to find some food. He grabs a small handful of the left over treats.
Kurogane gives a very persistent protest to being put down. "No!! Papa!" He sits at Grimmjow's feet, desperately pulling on a pants leg to pull himself back up to cling to him. Whether Grimmjow sees himself as the rightful 'papa' or not, Kurogane does. He may not be alike in appearance, but his personality, the way he talks: it's all very similar to the father this infant very vaguely remembers. He doesn't remember so well what Horosha looked like, but what he was like. The tone of voice and all make the baby feel at home when he's not near his mother. He happily stops protesting when he's scooped up and given Grimmy's chest for a bed. It's there this kid sleeps soundly through the night. He has his little hand grasping one of Grimmjow's fingers firmly all the while, as to not let him go anywhere.
Kouga is actually last of my own guys to awaken: Hana being first, kyo second, and Cider last besides himself. He stretched out on the bed much like a cat before getting up. He's had great rest like Kyo this fine night, so he's one my my more cheery-eyed people this morning. He sips on water and eats the rest of his food while the last of the group wakes up. To Yurei, he shrugs. "We go find another ingredient don't we?" He looks then to Hana and Takuya for guidance. Yes, he's actually looking to Hana, since she seems to be made fun of a lot xD. He's determined her trustworthy enough to rely on now as well.
