Welcome to Gaia! ::

The walk through Seireitei to reach the area Yamamoto had ordered a portal to Hueco Mundo set up was somewhat quiet between Ukitake and Kyoraku until finally Ukitake spoke up. "So, I'm guessing she knows?" he asked rhetorically, "You've taken a very large risk in informing her about something so taboo within Soul Society, though I'm sure I don't have to remind you of that."

The gate to Hueco Mundo suddenly reopened and Kyouraku stepped out of it slowly, breathing in the fresh air of Seireitei as he did so. He turned to the gate to watch Ukitake come through, waiting patiently for the white haired Captain.

"I agree," Shunsui replied as he rubbed his stomach. He was lucky that he was only hit there. "If Ikkimaru had aimed even an inch higher he would have cracked several ribs so I guess I should be greatful. In any case, would you mind reporting to Yama-ji? I want to check in with Nanao-chan." He turned away, hoping that Jushiro would comply with his request. Nanao was very worried when he left and he knew that his prompt return would set her mind at ease.

"Can do," Shunsui replied quickly before heading toward his office. He was going to tell Ukitake that he didn't expect it to go so well and that he really didn't expect to return with his life which was why he didn't want to say anything in the first place, but before he opened his mouth he realized that that meant he didn't want to say good bye and that was not something that friends should do. So he kept his mouth shut and continued forward.

Byakuya wasn't the type to wander around aimlessly, so he headed to the Central 46 to ask for permission to send his squad to the human world to recruit the assistance of Urahara Kisuke in the idea of making a gate to Hueco Mundo. The air was cooling as it blew his bangs against his face. He reached the door of the Central 46 were he was blocked by guards. "Captain Byakuya Kuchiki of 6th squad, I am in need to speak with the judges of Central 46" he said to the guards who then escorted him into the building

((rofl i forgot, aizen slaughtered all the judges, that b*****d))

Stopping to a halt, Byakuya was embarrassed at his mistake but quickly hid his shame and said "I am not one to forget such things, but for some reason I have chosen to forget" he said to the guard "I am sorry". he said as he bowed to the guard, it was unusual for him to bow to a lower rank but he felt as if he should for showing that even he makes mistakes. Byakuya then proceeded to leave out of the door, the guards following him back out and returning to their posts. While he crossed the bridge connecting the Central 46 and its moat, Byakuya felt a odd reiatsu it was a shinigami's reiatsu but it felt odd to his senses. He continued walking heading towards the Central 46's exit.


((the central 46 building has a moat around it and the only way to get in is a bridge that connects it to the rest of Seireitei))

Doki sensed the reiatsu as well. It was far too similar to Haru's to be anyone other than a blood relative of his, and there was really only one left that would be around Seireitei. She did as she was told and once the gate was opened she quickly followed. It was amazing enough as it was that no one had noticed three Garganta gates opening, let alone this fourth one. The 12th Squad must have been too busy worrying about Aizen to catch their actions so they had to be rather lucky. Though she didn't hesitate to get through the gate, her mind sunk into a slight depression. "We just got back and now we're leaving again..." She thought. The frown on her lips made it rather apparant that she didn't want to leave.
