-----<br/>Megami<br/>-----<br/><br/>Megami looks at Ryou with a light smile, but says in a stern voice, "Ryou, you are not to engage this enemy. That is an order. With your illness as it is, and the skills you possess, and the type of enemy this seems to be, I want you away from it. Scout, observe, and report, but do not engage. I don't know what I'd do without you..."<br/><br/>With those words, Megami obviously fights tears at the thoughts running threw her mind, and gives Ryou a tight hug before continuing, "I need you to keep tabs on each of the Captains, and have the reports sent to me. In a time like this, and with this new reiatsu-disease, we need to keep an eye on each of the Captains to make sure no one does anything stupid. I'll personally keep an eye on you, Mister Onmitsukido."<br/><br/>Forcing herself to laugh, Megami is obviously haggard and concerned for each of her hundreds of subordinates. However, knowing her for as long as you do, you know that she's only in this state because there's nothing she can do about it. Once she finds this threat, you know she's as likely to do something stupid as anyone else. Possibly, more so.<br/><br/>/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////<br/><br/>-----<br/>Ryukishi<br/>-----<br/><br/>Inviting Airi inside, Ryu pulls out a chair for his guest as well as himself and takes a seat. Indicating Airi, he asks "So, what has our oh-so-esteemed Commander sent you to me for? I presume it has to do with recent events?" As he says this, he draws his zanpakuto and quickly releases it, muttering "Kakushitsuijaku. Go Fureimushīrudo."<br/><br/>With those words, he gets a sudden gleam of comprehension in his eye, and a red sheen begins to cover the walls, sealing, and floors of the room. You recognize this as Ryukishi's Five-Flame Shield, a special barrier which has five rules or five targets that only Ryukishi knows. Even Ryukishi need not know who the shield will attack, as a rule could be something such as "Not an ally of the Seireitei" or "Dislikes the flavor of lemons", at which point, a transgressor of said rule would trigger the barrier and be repelled and severely burned.
