<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">Koichi nodded and followed Tenntou, even though he was aware that something was going on. He matched his stride with hers for a moment, then seemingly vanished. That is, until there was a midnight blue cat sitting on Tenntou's shoulder, as a parrot would be for a pirate.</span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff0000">"This should make us get there faster, right, Tenntou-Channya?"</span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00"> he said, mewing at the end.<br/>
<br/>

<br/>
Nel was so stunned at Daisuke's reaction that she reflexively changed into her child form.</span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00ff00">"You sure about dat? Nell-Chan ain't respondable if her vomit stains your clothes or skin, ya know."</span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">she said, pulling Daisuke's shirt up to reveal the wound, which was a short, but deep, gash.<br/>
<br/>
As she put her hand in her mouth to force the gag reflex to make her puke, a reishi that was all too familiar to them started coming closer, and just as Nel's vomit touched Daisuke's wound, Aizen walked in the room, Ulquiorra at his coattails. Aside from them, there was also a giant of a man who had a tan just as dark as Koichi's, but the top of his head had several bumps, and a skeletal jaw was covering the lower portion of his jaw. The number '10' was clearly tattooed on his left shoulder and visible as the man had no shirt on. However, there were also stitches circling his right bicep, which to the untrained eye would be simple decoration.<br/>
<br/>
It was the giant who spoke first, effectively announcing the group's arrival.</span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff9999">"The runt ain't here, and that lizard bitch ain't here either! Now what?"</span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffffff">"Calm yourself, Yammi. All it means is that we must wait here until Tenntou and Yoruichi's little hellspawn of a child arrive. Why not have some coffee while we wait?"</span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">Aizen said, pouring himself a cup of the bitter black liquid and taking a seat on the empty couch next to Jin, who the traitor instantly recognized. </span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffffff">"So, Hinseihito-San, how have you been? Not hiding a Vice-Captain title behind that shinai of a shikai, are you?"</span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">he asked in sport. <br/>
<br/>
Ulquiorra simply ignored the coffee and took a single bagel instead. He stayed quiet, content with watching things unfurl.<br/>
<br/>

<br/>
The door to Gin's little 'lab' swung open with a slight creak, and a very obviously upset Ririnette poked her head in.<br/>
<br/>
"Ichimaru-San? Starrk told me to help you, but I can leave if ya don't want any help. Personally, though, I think I could have some fun helping ya." she said, catching the scent of a knock-out potion. She didn't see what was behind him clearly, but she saw a Zanpakutou laying on the table next to him, unsheathed, as if someone had been tinkering with it.</span>
