As soon as they got to Ronin's house, Yuri's strength gave out, causing her to collapses onto her knees. She jsut wasn't capable of taking another step forward. Right now, all that mattered was getting Shukumei inside since she was in more critical condition. "It's okay Ronin.. Take her inside first.. She's in more danger than I am.." The Shinigami soon looks at the the ground, starting to chuckle a little. "It's not like I'm going anywhere.." She was trying to joke, but it fails. It's obvious that she's still depressed over what happened. What can be done? Ryouji could return at any time to take her from the others. If she were to stay with them for too long, their lives would be in danger.
I can't let them die because of me... What do I do..?

Ronin growled at her, hitting her cheek. There was a message in his punch, and he was sure she got it. He dragged them into the house and into the living room. It was no surprise that Nori was already there, after all it was only logical that they would end up here. He let Nori dress his captain's wounds, as Nori was good at that kind of stuff. Not many people knew Nori was going to be a doctor before life stepped in and forced him to take care of him. Ronin wonders what Nori would be like now if his parents were alive. It would not be what he is now, that's for sure. He dragged Yuri to his room, closing the door behind him.
"You aren't going anywhere! I won't let him take you! GOT IT!?"
He shook her, looking into her eyes as he yelled at her. He wasn't going to let some loser take away one of the few people that believed in him. He rested his forehead on hers lightly, smirking lightly. He would defend her with his life if it meant returning the most important person in her life to her.

Yuri was snapped out of her thoughts from being hot on the cheek. Rubbing where he hit her, Yuri understood what he was trying to say. He didn't want her to give up so easily. But how can she not do just that? It's nto that she didn't believe in Ronin or Nori or even Shukumei for that matter. She would rather give up rather than to lose her friends in a fight. His shaking made her feel dizzy, but she lets him continue. Then when he rests his forehead against hers, it made her blush a bit.
"The gesture.. is kind Ronin.. and I know that you'll try.. But I don't want you getting hrt because of me! Shukumei tried to protect me and look what happened to her! That could be you!" Before she knew it, she was hugging onto Ronin. It meant a lot to her that he was willing to do so much to protect her. "I'm glad.. you say you won't let him do that but.. I just don't want you, Nori, or Captain Shukumei to get hur tor worse because of me.. Anyway, I have to tell Soul Society what happened.." Yuri takes in a deep breath before exhaling. Who was she kidding? She's terrfied. she doesn't want to go as much as Ronin. "Thanks..for wanting to protect me.. Maybe the Soul Society can send more people to help be guards or something.."

Ronin soon found himself hugging her, his forehead still on hers. He knew she was not going to listen, the second she tried to return, she would be caught. He made his glove appear on his right hand, moving a little closer to her as he tried one last time to convince her.
"Nori can fix up Captain, don't worry. You are not leaving this house, it is that simple. Just relax and let your wounds heal. It will be fine, I promise you..."
He waited for her response, deciding to let that determine his next action. He knew her Captain was the most important thing in her life, but he was not going to let her be captured because of it.

Yuri tilts her head from hearing him say she wasn't going to leave the house. hitting his head lightly in a playful manner, she looks up to him. She had no intention of leaving the house. Apparently he forgot about the Kido that will let her communicate with the Soul Society. Well, there was her cellphone too which would probably be better. "You're silly, you know that? I don't plan on leaving the house. I was thinking bout using the Kido I taught you to talk to them. But then, that could give away our position.. So I guess the only thing left to do is to call another captain.."
It meant a lot to her that he was trying so hard to keep her from leaving. Soon letting go of him, Yuri goes to te bed, sitting down on it. "Ronin.. If something does happen and.. I end up like Captain... Will you still be my friend? Would you..help get me back?"

Ronin smirked, joining her on his bed. He stretched out a little, leaving Yuri plenty of room. He shifted his eyes to her, patting her leg.
"It won't happen, you are much stronger than your Captain. But if it did, I would cut through anything in my way to bring you back. So don't worry, I'll always be your friend."
He closed his eyes, thinking on the situation. there had to be a solution to the problem, but it eluded him. He opened his eyes, looking at the stars in hope of some comfort from them.

Her? Stronger than her captain? Maybe he was just saying that to make her feel better or something. A smile formed when she heard that he would still be her friend if she did end up like Ryouji. Hopefully, it wouldn't come to that. Soon getting up, she takes out her cellphone. "I'll be right out the door." She steps outside, contacting one of the Captains that were in Soul Society, telling them all she had to offer. Hopefully they could send more people over to be watch outs or something. "I'll be staying with Captain Shukumei, the Shinigami representative, and a human. Hopefully nothing else will happen.. All we have to do is make sure they don't get the hundred souls.. The Living world and the Soul Society depends on it.."

Ronin sat watch over her as she made her call, he sat in the open window, the gloves on both fists. He sighed, thinking of all the possible combat situations that might happen. He knew he had to protect Yuri, and he planed to do just that, even if it cost him his life. He listened to her talk, wondering if they would send them help. He shifted his eyes to her, smirking as he waited for her to come back to the window.

It was a little while later when Yuri got off the phone. She goes back into Ronin's room, stepping over to the window where he was seated at. She could tell he was trying to think hard in attempt to figure out a way to keep her safe. Her worry is that even if he was dead set on protecting her, it would all be for nothing. Even if the Other Captains were to come, it wouldn't make much a difference. Forcing a smile, Yuri looks out the window, staring at the stars. For all she knew, this cold be the last time looking up at them. She had to enjoy what time she had left and not let it show that she's terrified of leaving him. "It's a nice night." Soon leaving the Window, the shinigami flops onto the bed. Doing so made her wince in pain.
"Haha.. Remind me not to do that again.. Hey.. Maybe you should go check on Nori and your Captain. I'm sure she has to be awake by now." She started to chuckle a little. He would probably think it was some kind of ploy to get him out of the room so she can escape. At the moment, Yuri was too tired to even think about getting up and leaving through the window. "When this is all over.. let's go back to the beach. We can bring everyone.. A big party.."

Ronin smirked, picking her up and heading downstairs to visit with his Captain and Nori. He knew she would protest to being carried, but she was in no condition to be going up and down stairs. He sat her down on the couch, sitting beside her. As he started to think, his mind drifted to his ability to manipulate fire. He had been able to do it since he was a kid but never understood why. He began to think about, trying to remember when it was that he first manipulated fire. Upon further thought, he discovered that he was seven when he first was able to control the element. It was then that he realized that he had zoned out, blinking a few times. He shifted his eyes around, looking to everyone as he closed his eyes lightly. He slouched a little, leaning back on the couch. He did not want to concern Yuri with his issues, she had worse ones than him and he needed to focus on protecting her.

Yuri was surprised to be carried down the stairs and sat down on the couch. Looks like he really meant he wasn't going to let her leave the house and protecting her. Resting against the couch, she looks up at the ceiling, many thoughts racing through her mind. What will happen now? Sooner or later, she's going to be tired of staying int he same place for so long and will attempt to leave. Sighing, she leans over to the side, resting her head on the arm rest of the couch. Right now, the most important thing is to recover from the injuries and think of some kind of plan. "It's going to be a long month.."

Ronin shifted his eyes to Yuri, leaning back on the couch. He knew she was hurting, but trying to hide it. He thought for a while about the entire situation, and the possible solutions. He knew he was not going to let anyone leave with the rogue Captain, but he also knew she was not going to let him get hurt. He looked at her, forcing a smile as he thought of ways to get her comfortable with him fighting for her. Out of being nervous, he made a ball of fire and started juggling it in his hand. He did not even stop to think on how he could, he has been doing it most of his life. He sighed, looking to her as he juggles the fire. He sighed, confused as what to do.

Yuri looks over to Ronin who was juggling the fire. He was trying his best to make her feel at ease. She knew he would do whatever it woudl take to keep her safe, but she didn't want to be a burden to him or anyone else. There was only one solution she could think of, but if she were to say it, she knew Ronin would be rather upset. "You're really silly.. I'll be fine don't worry. Itrust you and everyone else. If you say you're going to protect me, I know you will. I believe in your abilities."

Ronin smirked, knowing she wasn't being fully truthful. He knew she was going to try and sneak out, but he wasn't going to let her. She was in no condition to move at the current time, but once she healed he would have to watch her. He sighed, juggling the fire faster. He knew she was trying to reassure him, but he could see her motives. He shifted his eyes to her, smiling.
"I'm fine, you just rest up. This situation has to have a solution, I'll get him back for you, I promise."
He patted her leg, smiling as he continued playing with the fire. He finally catches the fire, embers drifting in th air as he snuffs it out in his hand.

Yuri drifted of into thinking. Ronin was right. There was a solution. But she blurted out her thoughts, not noticing she was speaking out loud and not to herself."There is an answer.. All I have to do is die.." Snapped out of her thoughts from it being so quiet, Yuri realized what she had said. Slowly turning her head to Ronin, laughing nervously. She was expecting a stronger punch than before so she had to make something up. "I..I don't mean it! That would be taking the easy way out! I don't want to do that! See, I can be strong too, you know!" Yuri hits her chest as hard as she could to prove a point, only to start coughing. Real smooth... He's going to think you don't trust him enough..
Slowly moving to Ronin, she looks to him for a moment, soon looking away. She looks one more time before hugging onto him again. "I..I do trust you Ronin.. It's just.. I'm so scared he's going to hurt you, Nori, and Captain Shukumei or anyone else who gets in his way.. I don't want that to happen.." All of a sudden, the shinigami started to cry, burying her face into Ronin's shirt, her voice being muffled as she spoke. "I'm scared.. I'm scared of becoming like Captain.. But what scares me more.. What scares me the most is him hurting you or killing you all just to get to me... If me giving up will keep you safe.. I'd gladly do it.. You all mean so much to me.."

Ronin growled, pulling away from her. He got up, going to the window. He turned into his Shinigami form, glaring at her.
"That's just it! You don't trust me! None of your kind do! My Captain didn't when she did what she did, and now you don't trust me to protect you! Whatever, I'll find a way to do this on my own!"
He growled, going to jump out the window. He had suspected something was bothering her, but he never guessed that she distrusted him so much as to want to die.

Seeing him about to leave out the window, Yuri grabs onto his hand. She didn't want him to leave when he's so angry. She really didn't mean to hurt his feelings like that. "Ronin! Please don't' go! I'm sorry okay! I know I'm being selfish but.. You mean everything to me! I know you want to protect me and that means a lot to me.. I don't want you to die because of me! You and Nori are my best friends.. I enjoyed going to the beach with you that day.. Especially burying Nori in the sand and putting a crab enough enough to where it latched onto his nose.. But..."
She was going to try and explain, but probably the way he was, he wouldn't listen. Still, she had to try. "It was stupid to say what I did.. I know that.. But now.. I'm going to believe in you. I believe that you, Nori, an your captain can keep me safe.." Yuri tugs on his arm, slowly pulling him away from the window, giving him another hug. She was going to put her life in their hands. If anyone could keep her safe, it was them. "I'm sorry for acting like such a child.. How about we as a team, figure out what to do?"

Shukumei stirred a bit from all the yelling. She shifted around before coughing softly. She groaned as she stretched a bit. She opened her eyes in time to hear the comment Ronin seemed to believe ferverently in. Why hasn't he not picked up on the lesson she was trying to teach him. So stubborn even when he was conviently 'placed' in her squad. Although she was not at full strength she attempting to call out to to Yuri.
"Yu..ri, come...here and sit with me"
She attempted to adjust herself to get into a comfortable position but was truly unable from the pain. She sighed and felt completely useless.

Nori saw the Captain try to move, helping her move how she wanted. He put a pillow under her to prop her up. He leaned her against the couch, letting he sit up. He also heard what Ronin had said. He shook his head, wondering when it would sink into his friend's head. Knowing how he was, his Captain would probably have to spell it out for him. He waited, knowing Yuri would be coming soon.

Yuri sighs, slowly letting go of Ronin. He was probably still upset with her from what she said earlier. Thinking it's best to give him some space, the shinigami goes to the couch, sitting beside Shukumei. She felt horrible that she made Ronin feel the way he does, leaving back as she tilts her head to look at the ceiling. Way to go.. You've made your friend really angry and upset.. Far as I know, he could hate me.. I do trust him.. I really do.. But I don't want him to get killed because of me.. Why can't he understand that?
There had to be a solution. Would her returning to the Soul Society be a good idea? As far as she knew, there was no way for Hollows and/or Arrancar to appear there. No.. That would be running away from the problem as well.. I must have faith in my friends.. They're come up with something.. Unable to stand the silence, Yuri decided to say something, hoping to get a response from anyone. "So.. What do we do now? I think we're pretty much stuck here.. If we try to leave, I'm sure they're notice.." Then, something came to mind. What if she was able to get a different Gigai or have something that would snuff out her spiritual pressure or at least drop it down to where it was barely sensible?
"Hey.. Here's a thought.. What if I got a Gigai that looked nothing like me? Maybe we could use that with uh.. uh.. Something that would make sensing me a bit difficult.. Like.. some kind item, clothing, or whatever? I don't exactly know what it's called, but I'm sure Captain Shukumei would know what I mean. Since it's going to be a while before the others from Soul Society get here, we could make another call. What do you think?"

Ronin was about to reply when he was pulled out of the window. When he looked to see who pulled him out, he saw Kyouteki standing there. He narrowed his eyes, his gloves appearing on his fists.
"What do you want? Actually I don't care, I'll just beat you up!"
Fire suddenly blazed around him, repelling the rock that Kyouteki had thrown at him.
"Okay, how did that happen....?"

Post by zanji on Jun 30, 2008 21:43:31 GMT -5
Kyouteki smirked as the fire deflected the rock. He widened his eyes when Ronin seemed surprised.
"You mean to tell me you do not know!? I guess you were too young, but since I consumed his soul, I understand why you can control fire the way you do...." I will share this information with you only because you are my mistress's favorite.... Your father was a fire lord, a spirit who rules over the fire elemental of the spirit world. There are several elementals, fire, water, thunder, ice, earth, and wind, to name a few. As his son, when his life-force was extinguished, his powers were passed to you. I bet you do not know how to control them yet, I know mistress would help you, but she is in no condition, so I will provoke you in her place!"
He ran toward Ronin, pulling out his sword and swinging at him.

Ronin widened his eyes, suddenly making a sword out of fire. He blinked a few times, blocking Kyouteki's sword with the flame sword. He swung his blade, sending a wave of fire at Kyouteki. He narrowed his eyes, still confused.
"Fire lord? What the hell is that? I don't understand...."
He locked blades with Kyouteki, attempting to push him back. Fire seemed to pulse from his blade, at the same time he thought about attacking. There was a lot he did not know, but he was very curious about his powers.

Post by zanji on Jun 30, 2008 22:10:15 GMT -5
Kyouteki was as surprised as Ronin when the fire formed a sword. He dueled with him, shrugging as he did his best to explain.
"The elemental lords are spirits that for some reason or another gained control of specific elements. It is through them that the element can be harnessed by spirits and items in the spirit realm. Their powers are passed down through their blood line. The element has the ability to sense when their 'lord' is in danger and instantly protects them. Just like when I threw the rock at you. Only you can fully master the element, but it helps when, in your case, you train in warmer areas."
Kyouteki put his sword away, turning away from Ronin. He had done what he aid, he told Ronin about his father and the powers he had inherited. It was now up to his mistress to help Ronin do the rest.

Yuri was about to go help Ronin when she stopped. He was already upset with her and may see her interfering as more bothersome than good. The shinigami slumps down into the couch, sighing a heavy sigh. What's the point? He's just going to yell at me for thinking I don't trust him.. Guess it would be best just to be quiet and not speak unless spoken to..She just stares a the floor, not sure if she shold go check on Ronin or not. He should be alright. It didn't sound like a major battle or anything. Besides, she was confident that he could take care of himself. You better be okay though.. I'll I'll hurt you more than what you're hurt..

Ronin came back in the window, still holding the flame sword. He ruffled Yuri's hair as he passed her, sitting on his bed. He sighed, laying down as he thought about what he was just told. It did explain his powers and why he liked warm places. He stared at the ceiling, resting the flame sword on his chest as he thought. He shifted his eyes to Yuri, thinking she was being too quiet. Maybe he should say he was sorry for yelling or something.
"Yuri... I.... I..... What I'm trying to say is.... Why is this so hard..... I... I'm...."
He growled, unable to say the word. He never could, not even as a kid. He slammed his head into the wall, hurting himself. <and looking like @_@>

Yuri nearly freaked out when she saw him hit his head on the wall, quickly jumping of the couch, she goes over to him, shaking him to snap him out of it. "D..don't do that!" It was a bit funny. It seemed like he was trying to beat the word out of his mind but his mind won or something. Resting him on the couch, she slowly rubs the back of her head, trying to hold i n her laughter. " I get it. You don't have to knock the word out...of your.. skull.." She couldn't hold it in any longer. The Shinigami busts out laughing, eventually fallng from laughing so much (Just trying to make fun of a serious thread xD). "Sorry.. I know it's not funny but.. you.. You were..hitting your head as if.. your'e trying to..literally knock some sense.. into yourself.."

Ronin made the flame sword vanish, moving over her. He pinned her, tickling her sides.
"Laughing at me ehh? I'LL GIVE YOU A REASON TO LAUGH!!"
He smirked, tickling her more as he kept her pinned. It felt good to have a little fun, even if it was only for a second.

Yuri was laughing uncontrollably from Ronin tickling her, It took her quite a while to get from under him. She was rryng from laughing so hard and was trying to catch her breath. Was it possible to die from laughing so hard? Her sides and ribs seem to ache quite a bit. "Noooo moooore.. I..can't breathe.. And sides..ribs hurt.." Maybe it was her injuries that was making her hurt, but she didn't mind. all that mattered to her was Ronin forgiving her of what she said. "Okay okay.. No laughing at Ronin even if he does something that merits it!"

Ronin knocked his index and middle finger on her head lightly. He lets her up, laying on his bed again. He shifted his eyes to her, sitting up a little. He then stretched, smirking.
"I think my Captain called you, you should see what she wants..."
He tossed a pillow at her, grinning. He knew whatever his Captain needed to tell her was probably important.
