In The Lab (open)

Rikku a young pretty looking woman with flowing blonde hair, some of it braided and some with beads, sits in what is ment to be her office at a desk that resembles more of a chemistry laboratory. All around the room there are cabnets and shelves with countless jars containing various things and liquids. On the lower sections of the walls there are many filing cabnets containing all her files. The wall directly infront of her contains a screen which she uses as a computer. Outside the door here is a sign telling all thoes who enter be prepared to wait

She sits at her desk pouring and mixing various liquids into a beaker waiting to see the reactions it creates. Sitting there for quite a while a hell butterfly enters the window, fully aware that it is there she ignores it as it flutters around her.

As it contionusly flutters around, her eye begins to twitch every so often. Tapping the corner of her desk and not raising her head from what she is doing she says to it "sit there and stay still untill im done or you will get destroyed and ill miss yet annother message." the butterfly does as it is told and waits on the corner of her desk.

Sitting she continues mixing the various liquids and observes them as they react, not caring to even know what the message is untill she is done.

Amatatsu headed towards the barracks of the 12th division and even though somewhat away from the entrance, a stench of something unfamiliar brewing made her somewhat uncomfortable. Yet, she wasn't that worried because Ito was only a step behind her. Of the science research division, this female captain was no other than Rikku Mononoke.

When finally inside, she daw the held butterfly and hoped that it had delivered the message already. To the side, she saw the captain. However, her prescense wasn't acknowledged.
"Uhh... Captain Mononoke, did you recurve the message from the held butterfly yet?"
she hesistated for the captain seemed to be deep in thought while working on whatever she was.
Hopefully, her interruption wouldn't be taken disrespectfully. Just hopefully.

Ito comes in quietly though his reiatsu announced his presence long before his physical arrival. With a bit of tinkering around in his haori he pulls out the rather devastated reiatsu inhibitors and lays them on a nearby empty table. Leaning against a wall he waits patiently while overall rather relaxed. Though seeing Amatarsu on edge he moves over to her and rests a hand gently on her shoulder.

Bending down he whispers into her ear softly "Don't worry to much you don't have to be on edge not even another captain would dare attack you if I'm around, they would go after me first."

He slowly stands upright tilting his head back so his face and eyes could be seen. Despite everything his face looked evil to the core and was as scarred as his body though at one time it was clear he was quite the looker with a tall dark and spooky feel.

In the center of the seirieti was the tower where high profile prisoners were kept before there execution, this was usually kept un occupied but since the invasion they captured one of the saint beasts and held him here since no normal cell would keep him subdued. The saint beast was one of there knights called Yuki Terumi, he was wearing grey baggy pants and a grey long sleeve shirt with his arms in front of him binded in the soul cuffs to seal his powers and his green hair showing and his eyes at slants as they usually were. Yuki was in holding for a couple of weeks ever since he was captured during the invasion but before he was he took out a few shinigamis before he was captured, it was fun for him until they overpowered him with binding kido. "hmph, aint this a nasty predicament i got myself in, cant believe they caught me" Yuki mummered as he looked around the room he was held in then back at his cuffs which binded him also kept his powers sealed and how the towers stone kept it sealed also.

Yuki was kept here until one of the shinigami arrived to take him to get judged by the remaining squad captains and for his murder of shinigamis, but yuki wasnt going to let this happen for when the guards entered to bind him in the neck seal yuki made his move. As they were about to attach the neack binding yuki smirked as he leapt into the air kicking one of the guards in the face then throwing his binded hands around the others neck and twisting it. Yuki smirked as he heard the neck snap and as he released his neck he ran out the door jumping and slamming both of his feet into the other two guards standing there in awe and as they hit the ground he rand across the bridge and leapt to the ground looking for a place to hide but as his feet hit the ground he heard the alarm was raised.

"great now this made my escape a little harder" Yuki mummered as he found one of the squad barracks and leapt to the roof and entered through the back to see it was the squad 12 barracks. "oh great this is even worse im in one of the worse barracks to be in" Yuki sighed as he entered into the captains room thinking there wasnt anyone here and looked around to find something to undue the restraints but to his dismay there were three there one seemed like an underling and the other two were captains "well hello there, nice day aint it" yuki said as he kidded around and as he looked at the three "so any of you know how to get these off?" yuki said with a laugh as he was about to make a break for it but waited to see what would happen.

Rikku still at her desk hears others entering and one speaking to her as well as fealing Ito's reitsu but she continues pouring and mixing. As she does this she lifts a finger uttering "sho" instantly the door closes with an almighty slam but annother manages to slip in before it closed.

She puts one more drop into the beaker and it makes a small explosion with a tiny mushroom cloud "finaly this is done" getting up she kicks the chair from bellow her flying past Ito and Amatarsu smashing off the door.

Scribbling down a label and pouring the contents of the beaker into a jar she turns on the spot. Looking slightly surprised to see three people standing infronto of her she rembers what Amatarsu had sayd to her uppon entering "no i havent got no message yet who is it from?..." her gaze falling to Ito "... aha just the person ive been looking for and i dont blody know where to start". However she looks more interested in the final figure standing before her.

The Saint beast with green hair called Yuki "Ah yes i know how to take them off" she says as she vanishes appearing right behind him lips to his ear, she rubs his shoulder looking excided and with a scientists sadistic look in her eye she says softly and almost in a cruel tone "but i aint taking them off as there is nothing in it for me"

She then turns her head to look at Ito pulling a vile from her pouch griping Yuki's shoulder "now as for you" she growls but her attention is caught again by Amatarsu looking rather on the edge. her tone drops to a soft more motherly one "ah yes dear... what was that message and who is it from?"

Ito's eyes turn and once over the saint beast "What would you do even if they where removed,besides die your reiatsu would be equivalent to a regular human, they are protecting you from outside reiatsu influence as much as they restrict you,"Ito says bluntly speaking to the saint beast with a indifference and uncaring manner.

Ito's attention returns to Rikku "Yes me, I'm just escorting Mizu's fourth seat here and returning reiatsu inhibitors, the results where good until they all broke from trying to hold back my reiatsu, Side effects I can note two of them pissed off my Zanpakutou so its ignoring me now and the other one actually increased my reiatsu before it broke,"Ito says with a slight laugh while rubbing the back of his head.

However while speaking Ito keeps his reiatsu at full blast so that if he had to defend himself from the squad 12 captain he could. The side effect though would be that the saint beast would instinctively sense the pure evil coming from Ito that was without a doubt his combat side. Of course the other two wouldn't notice anything aside from the sharp increase of pressure.

"Well... the voting for head captain is going to commence for this ex-captain of Squad 2."
She made a side glance at the saint beast yet wasn't troubled due to the presence of the two captains that were more than capable of killing the beast. She did have to admit, however, that the Captain of Squad 12's offer was somewhat surprising. Yet, what could this saint beast do in return anyway? That left her at ease.

Turning her head to the left, Amatarsu looked at the saint beast and made a quick observation. This person-- this saint beast-- had dry humor if any humor at all, and looked somewhat "sly" and "shady". His power level couldn't bet determined fully yet, but she was somewhat anxious to actually get to know his full extent in his powers. The soul cuffs were not likely to be taken off anytime soon though. She watched cautiously just in case if he might try anything.

Yuki stood there looking for an exit until the female captain appeared behind him and clenched his shoulder saying she knows how to get the cuffs off "well thanks for the offer miss but you are that crazy scientist captain" yuki said with a smirk as his eyes were still closed and once he felt the reiatsu from the other captain he snsed a faint sense of evil in it but paid no mind to it. Yuki turned to the other female and grinned with an evil look as he opened his eyes slightly revealing the glowing yellow eyes "hi miss you wanna get these off of me" yuki said with a smirk as he let his eyes close hiding the yellow glow again.

"well i might take my leave now i kinda need to get out of this accursed place" yuki said as he smirked the yanked from the captains grip and did a backflip over her landing near the backdoor and slammed his backfoot against it but to no avail the door was sealed shut. "ohh great now this is even worse than the cell i was being held in"yuki thought to himself as he just decided to rest against the wall and wait for another moment to escape.

Rikku allows the saint beast to yank himself free and became rather intrested in the reiatsu repressants that Ito was using and begins tinkering with them. she walks over to the desk and examines the items that he had left on it. Examing the items she mumbles to her self well obviously this one was the failure... and this one increased reiatsu flow" she then speaks to the Yuki without looking at him, "I must warn you no-one leaves this room without my permission... barriers are in place after all and you dont want to see what is behind that door" she holds up the vile she had pulled from her pouch she held up earlier "oh if you do manage it then this poison will take immediate effect"

Throwing the item that increased reiatsu flow to Amatarsu she says with great interest "go on and put that on to i see what happens"
She then turns and leans against the table holding her chin with her fingers she says "ah your of Mizu's squad, how is he?" She lifts her head from her hands and looks directly at Ito for no reason "oh that woman... how i detest her" and she sighs deeply "but i have to admit it she does have talent and would prove a powerful head captain... let Mizu know i shall be there, and put that on already i want to see what happens. Oh and Ito how exacly did they piss your zanpakuto off?"

Glancing over to Yuki again she says "well what is in it for me if i free you? even though i am the crazy scientist captain of squad 12"

Ito tilts his head back "No idea its pissed and won't speak to me,"Ito says bluntly and gives a slight laugh. "Well even if you free him its likely he will be crushed to death by my reiatsu so he's actually safer as is,"Ito remarks before walking over to Yuki and despite the protection from reiatsu given to him from the spirit cuffs. Ito's hand goes to rest on the saint beasts right shoulder. While looking gentle it would be anything but instead the contact would be like a sledge hammer being dropped at terminal velocity. Of course that was only a slight show of Ito's brute physical strength of which the spirit cuffs wouldn't guard against at all.

"Well a bit of advice, stop begging to be released it makes you look pathetic, your a cold blooded murderer just like me once you cross that line your right to forgiveness and begging are no longer valid, you have to earn your right to beg and plead," Ito says his tone changing to the hitokiri mannerisms. Though despite the sharp tone shift after hearing the saint beast beg and demand freedom. Ito didn't alter anything else about him. However it would shine some light on the inner workings of Ito's mind regarding the little humanity still buried in him and his ideals for those who kill without thought or mercy when they in turn beg for what they never gave.

Returning to a relatively pleasant mood Ito tilts his head to Rikku "She's more qualified than me the only reason they even promoted me to captain is because they simply can't figure out how to kill me,without sending me to hell where I might escape,"It says and gives a slight laugh finding it humorous despite how truthful it was.

Amatarsu barely caught the thrown item, and hesistated somewhat to put it on. Then thinking better of it, she did, yet the thought of not leaving without her permission seemed rather... Daunting. She felt not much difference after she put the equipment on and heaved a sigh of relief.

Then turning to the saint beast, she replied bluntly, "I'm not getting in any trouble for releasing you. And if I even did, do you want to deal with... Her?" Amatarsu didn't restrain herself much due to the fact that there were two powerful captains next to her. She seemed somewhat disgusted by the begging, but then again, it wasn't like you could expect saint beasts to be honorable, civil creatures. She turned once again to the captain respectfully and answer the question, "I believe that the Captain is doing quite well. Well... Mostly. Except for the fact that he drank the sake of his lieutenant. But he's doing quite fine. He's a great commander." She smiled when recalling the sake that the Captain drank. "Oh. I'll tell him you'll be there to vote."

Then she listened intently for any conversation to continue. The "pissing your zanpakuto off" was quite something.

"i can tell you guys are sticks in the mud, cant even tell of my kidding around from begging" Yuki said with a slight smile and as he did the male captain walked up to him and placed his palm on his shoulder and as he did he released some of his reiatsu causing yuki to feel alot of pain and as he did Yukis eyes opened fully the yellow glow and his hair spiked up as he was angered from the shinigami touching him his power flaired for a few seconds and then was subdued by the cuffs and yuki went back to his normal personality. "if i really wanted out of these i would have done it myself, and i have no reason to bargain with shinigami scum" yuki said as he got serious for the first time "and that poison of yours like it could harm me my beast is that of a snake so i am use to mutiple poisons so what would make yours different" yuki said as he maneuvered his hand to the lock and was prepared to remove the cuffs and escape the area by transforming into his beast mode. In his beast mode he would get away easily and the poison should have no effect on him.

Rikku looks at Amatarsu dissapointed thinking that the device will need to be altered to have the same effetc as it did on Ito. Slightly surprised at Ito's comment she says "oh Ito you do know how to make a girl blush" laughing she suddenly stops and says to him im her rather cruel tone "oh dont you worry ive already devised a plan if that should ever happen"

Listening to Yiki talking she begins to look more and more frustrated and when he finishes she bursts out begining with a high pitched "HA!!!" then saying "oh no Saint Beast you think i would be so boring as to place a normal poison on you" she giggles a little "when i say you dont leave this room without my permission... i mean you dont"

She walks over to him and runs her finger down his chest "you go outside this barrier and that poison explodes... but feel free to try. I havent blown anything up for a while" once again she gets a crazed scientists look in her eyes as she pushes the hair from her face "although ive decided there is one thing you can do for me" she walks over to two paralell poles running the height of the room

On her way she stops beside Ito "would you test more of the suppresents later for me?" and then coming up to Amatarsu she smiles at her "oh well dear, tell Mizu that he must come visit me some time when he isnt too busy"

Leaning beside the poles in an almost seductive manner, but still with the crazed look on her face she says to Yuki "well?"

(so you know Isaac Ito didn't release any reiatsu as the cuffs would prevent such from reaching him but merely used brute physical strength)

Ito shrugs "Well little saint beast even without your shackles your just a lowly foot soldier of your kind, your a insect in the greater scheme of things that is why you where left behind,"Ito says his manner still straight forward."Well I don't know what to say not sure how I make you blush, I'm seriously out of the loop in such things,"Ito says with a laugh.

"Ehh sure I guess the most that could happen if I get blown up or ripped apart in either case I'll be back eventually after I find out how to escape hell,Ito continues to joke about his own fate in the event a shinigami kills him. He relaxes and leans against a near by wall softly "So how lethal is your new poison concoction, I've been on the receiving end of a few being one of the few able to survive them,"Ito asks at first in a manner of curiosity he usually showed for others works. The same cautionary manner though he looked upon kidou with despite his lack of understanding it or use in it he knew they could be dangerous.

"Sure. I'll tell Mizu this." she smiled though she wondered how a great captain like hers could be related to this science geek-azoid with dangerous threats and the capability to make them real. Otherwise, she wondered why the equipment had no effect on her, yet afterwards, she diverted her attention to the saint beast. If it tried anything, the captain would surely do "something". This "something" including the KA-BOOM and BAM. Yet, what could this beast do for this scientific genius? Well either way, the beast wouldn't have a say in it. It couldn't get out. And it'd have to face that.

"I just realized... That we forgot our proper introductions..." somewhat cautiously she gave the beast her name. "I'd be Amatarsu. You can just call me that. You?" She half expected for an ambiguous or no answer, but either way, she better start something out decently.

She kept in the back of her mind the echo of the captain's words about the poison and not leaving without her permission. Scary. Much more scary than Mizu. But then again, she might not know her captain very well. Maybe a different side to him. A scientific scary side...

"hmm i might as well aid you since it does seem i was abandoned by my bretheren" yuki says as he slightly shrugs to the question from the 12th squad captain. "and miss Amatarsu, you can call me Yuki Terumi" yuki said with his grin as he half bowed to the seemingly nice female shinigami. "also can you please cap youre reiatsu im gonna take these things off since i know i cant escape now but i need to scratch my nose" yuki said as he slightly laughed as started to fiddle with the lock of the cuffs and after a few seconds there was a click noise and the cuffs seperated and fell to the floor. "ahh thats better" yuki said as he stretched and scratched his nose which he was being bothered by for a while now.

"so now what you want in return for removing of this stupid poison, since i removed the cuffs myself" yuki said to the captain of squad 12 as he walked over to some of the beakers and began to poke around his curiosity getting the better of him as he waited for a reply from the creepy captain.

Rikku looks at Ito "Oh ito you should know better than that..." she shakes the vile at him then returns it to her pouch "...this one could blow even you apart" She giggles still leaning against the pole.

She looks to Amatarsu "my my you are polite arnt you... goes to show your in Mizu's squad" her full attention then falls to Yuki "id advise you not to touch the 5th jar in... it, well lets say you dont want to know what happens but feel free to if you wish i wont stop you"

Slaping her hand on the poles she is leaning against "with this i can get you back to your relm, now you can do one of two things for me." She smiles her crazed smile again you can go back yo your saint beast place or you can stay here with me. Both involve conducting research and gathering information then reporting back to me. Both options are dangerous and failing to report back will result in that poison exploding, riping you to shreads"

At the thought of this her expression turns to a completly crazed look rather than just her smile. The thought of being able to research the Saint Beasts in such a upfront manner excited her to no end

Well, this unlucky saint beast was going to be stuck here for a while... or possibly... even FOREVER... with the "crazy" scientist doing research and who knows what. Even if it did go back to wherever, the poison would make its fate certain with a KA-BAM. This person... was somewhat "mad" when it came to science and this "saint beast" thing interested her more than the usual.

The cuffs taken off by the saint beast wasn't actually that surprising, because she was aware of their massive strength, ability, and also intelligence. Amatarsu guessed that the poison wouldn't be taken out anytime soon.

"I suggest you take her deal. At least you get to walk around and get some fresh air." she said. "But then again, you don't exactly have a good choice in this do you?"

Ito laughs a few times as he watches the spectacle "Well I think I'll get going there's not need for me to stick around," Ito says as he walks towards the door. Seeing the binding spell on it he shrugs "Mind if I break this binding spell over here so I can leave," Ito says his hand reaching out to touch it. The amount of reiatsu Ito put out was more than enough to break the spell from the outside if not simply blast a new opening into the wall in the worst case.

Though he was still considerate enough to ask before doing much of anything. Turning his head to the side slightly and looking at the Saint Beast "Stick around kid you might like soul society, maybe even fall in love I don't understand why our groups are at war then again what do I know,"Ito says giving a slight chuckle.

Rikku looks as ito makes his way through her barrier. Smiling she says "Oh no need for that Ito no poison on you to react if you go through it" now half laughing as she places the vile back in her pouch.

Turning back to Amatarsu she says "my my you are a wise one arnt you fourth seat" Then she realises "oh no poison on you either so feel free to leave if you need to" She turns back and looks at Yuki waiting his responce

"well mis crazy scientist you got a deal, and i might just stay here if you could make sure i dont get executed for my crimes here, cause if i go back ill surely be killed since they would think i revealed everything about them" yuki said with a slight smile about how he thought he could be the first saint beast shinigami. "i might even join the 13 court guard companies, and this division interests me alot so you dont mind if i joined it" yuki said as he looked back to the other captain shinigami. "i dont even know why are races at war it just confuses me" yuki said to ito before turning back to the vials he was messing with and waited to see what the crazy svientist thought of his idea.

He continued to fiddle around thinking of hat other shinigami would think abot a saint beast on there side and what his brehteren would think, they would most likely try and kill him but he wouldnt allow that.

"Well considering the people you killed are considered cannon fodder in the eyes of the higher ups you haven't done anything major, your not strong enough to kill a captain or a lieutenant that's properly trained your about as strong as a third seat from what I can tell," Ito says bluntly his eyes resting on Yuki.

"As for your own race, they don't have the power or numbers to survive a war with soul society, Simply put its suicide which is why they retreated after the last invasion,if your kind wants to kill you then become stronger and do what you want, aside from paper work and standard duties shinigami are allowed to do whatever they want,"Ito says turning around decide to stick around a bit longer.

"Shinigami are also offered martial training through standard courses in the academy self training and personal training captains can give to their squad or other squads if requested,"he says cracking his neck from side to side.

Amatarsu facial expression was unwavering to the compliment from the captain of squad 12, but she thanked her politely nevertheless.

Yet what the saint beast somewhat puzzled her and his suggestion seemed somewhat ridiculous and out the question at first, there was a possibility when thought of thoroughly. The decision didn't rest in her hands though, so she put that thought aside. As a possible third seat, this saint beast could do well yet she hoped somewhat that this creature didn't have more strength than she did, but she didn't have much worries burdened on her head since this beast seemed interested in this division.

Amatarsu listened to what Ito had to say and also guessed that he decided to stay a while longer. She had no objections herself to that and desired to stay longer anyway.

(OCC: ill have a reply up tomorrow)

Rikku stares at Ito as he decides not to leave and she asumes that he is some what intrested, listening to what he said "oh Ito you do have a point there we shall have to see what this beasts actual power level is."

Looking at Amatarsu she gives an obvious look giving away what she was thinking, wonders if she could have her test Yuki first but then thinks it will be more fun doing that herself.

Rikku turns to the wall with her screen on it. She kicks the wall causing a door bellow the screen to open leading to a corridor that streached on for about half a mile leading into a huge courtyard perfect for such events. "ok Yuki theres a hall here taking you to my personal training room" she giggles "dont worry it is still a part of this room so you wont blow up". She then turns to Ito and Amatarsu "join us if you so desire... this experiment should be fun"
