With the Captains suffering casualties and heavy injuries on their side, all hope seemed to be lost... until Shinji Hirako appeared, along with the rest of the former Shinigami. Though the aid of the Vizards certainly helped to draw the battle in their favor, it seemed Aizen's power alone proved too much for them.

Bent over next to a shelf in one of the many shops of the outskirts a scantily clad woman looked over the wares as if she couldn't figure out which item she wanted to buy. That was, in fact, the case. She bounced a foot behind her gently, which in turn jingled a large bell at the end of a chord behind her in a soft, melodic way.
The shop keep would have lost patience a while ago if he wasn't enjoying the sight of the woman in the mentioned position as he got to stare at her skirt covered booty.
"Mouuu... This one has ginseng, and floral extracts! But this one has Aloe! Neither have both!!!" she said with growing frustration, "I really wish someone was here to help me on this! I gotta do something to get my hair softer, and silkier!"
A normal sized man entered the shop causing the bell on the door to jingle. He had silver hair that stopped around his neck and he had bright orange eyes that were magnified by his glasses. Hmmm. . .I'm going to need some ginseng and a strong poison for this experiment. Ryon made his way over to the aisle that contained the ginseng. As he turned the corner he saw a beautiful woman scanning over the shelves in search of something. Hot damn! Ryon, get over there and talk to her! Oooh, shes wearing a skirt too, its our lucky day! Haha! And look the ginseng is on the bottom shelf! Why don't ya sneak a peak when ya bend down to get that? Ryon let out a sigh. Damnit Mijin, you're such a damned pervert. Can you for once just talk about a girl without diminishing her to a hunk of meat? I'm sorry Ryon, its just my nature. Well just go talk to her!
Ryon approached the woman with a smile on his face. "Excuse me miss, could you pass me the ginseng there?" Ryon made sure not to appease Mijin's perverted requests. Tch! You're no fun. Well at least you broke the ice.

"Eh? Huh?..." she crouched down as she looked up at him to stay eye level with the shampoo she were looking at not minding if he looked down at her, and get a better view of... things.
The Shopkeep sighed as he lost the view of her booty, ten returned to reading a newspaper.
"I dunno why it's so close to the shampoo, but that's just how they are," she reached down, then grabbed the big, thick root in one hand, then handed up to him gently.
Hrm, his hair isn't all that nice. He wouldn't know about shampoo, would he? she thought to herself as she looked him over as she stood to full height. "You're in squad four aren't you?" she asked in a bold, calm manner as she realized he seemed familiar to her. His features stood out pretty well against the norm.
Her stance went casual. She rested more on one leg than the other which raise her covered hip up, and removed her bared thigh from vision through the slit in her skirt. As she shifted her weight, the bell at the end of the tail like rope that hung off her belt jingled a bit like a series of miniature gongs, or those hand exercise balls. It was a dull, melodious ringing instead of sharp, loud Christmas bell style.
It's safe to say that her fairly firm cleavage didn't stay stationary either, but neither did they jiggle outrageously.
As the woman bent down to get him the ginseng Ryon made sure to look away. Noooooooo! Why did you look away at the best part?! Oh I know. . .you must be gay! Of course I get stuck with the only shinigami who doesn't like girls! Just my luck. . . Ryon's face showed a little frustration. I'm. . .not gay. You're just overly perverted you idiot! The woman got back up and handed him the ginseng.
Ryon took the ginseng and started to itch the back of his head. "Thanks. . .uh. . .I never did get your name." As Ryon itched the back of his head he realized that his hair was quite greasy. It had been a couple of days since he had left his lab and he had only done so to get the supplies he needed, showering hadn't even came to mind.
As she shifted her position Ryon noticed the bare flesh of her thighs and the obvious movement of her chest, he just couldn't help but briefly look. Huh? Whats this? Maybe you do have some balls down there after all, I was starting to get worried. You better not blow this, shes damn hot! What should I say Mijin?! I'm drawing a blank! Oh I know! "Miss I couldn't help but notice, your chest looks quite appealing!" Ryon smiled as the comment came out.
The handle of Ryon's zanpakuto jolted itself and smacked Ryon in the back of the head. You must be the most retarded scientist I have ever met! Hurry up and save it! Ask her if she needs help! Ryon rubbed the back of his head and smiled to conceal the fact that his zanpakuto just hit him. "Uh. . .uhm. . .what I mean to say. . .uh. . .Do you need any help looking for anything?" Ryon let out his breath in relief, thinking he had saved himself from certain humiliation. Real smooth Romeo.

"Eiko. Though some people call me A-ko. Not sure why. It means something like 'Girl A', and I don't get it aside from a play on my name," she chuckled a bit.
She noticed the rather typical uncomfortable look on Ryon's face, and where it as he looked, and she wasn't surprised. Well, if it made him feel better, and he wasn't being stupid, it was okay.
Eventually he got to what she expected, and made a stupid comment about her boobs. It was a nice compliment, but still... "Well, that was somewhat original," she complimented him, then chuckled.
"Oh, I don't know what I'm looking for," she frowned, "But really, I was looking for a good shampoo. Something for girls, both utilitarian, and appealing to the vain," she pressed a finger to her chin as she spoke. "I don't suppose you have any ideas, do you?"
Ryon nervously chuckled, "Eiko huh? Well thats a beautiful name in my opinion." Ryon was worried about what her reaction would be to his blunder, but she didn't seem to mind it. In fact she was actually thanking him for it! She. . .thanked you? Ryon we hit the jackpot! Shes easy as apple pie! Ryon frowned at the vulgarness of his spirit. Quite Mijin, she was just being polite.
As she mention shampoo Ryon looked up at his hair. I should really get some shampoo while I'm here. . . "Lucky for you I'm an expert in the field of shampoo!" Ryon began examining Eiko's hair. "Hmm, you have very natural hair, which is a good thing. Its thick and healthy. What you want in a shampoo is something that will get into the pours and clean the base. It needs to be able to clear away the dirt and oil but not damage the hair. Hair is composed of a fiber called keratin which is pretty durable. Its going to need a good balance of cationics, anionics, and nonionics. Hmmm." Ryon started to examine the shelves looking at the different brands of shampoo sitting on the shelves.
Ryon reach into the back of a shelf and pulled out a deep red bottle of shampoo labeled "Shinipoo Ferocity" and held it out towards Eiko with a smile on his face. "This is the perfect shampoo for you! It combines cleanliness with vitalizing components that will keep your hair thick and bouncy!" Ryon was excited over his pick, but was nervous of Eiko's reaction. Would she accept it? Or would she just laugh at him? Are you kidding me? Why the hell do you know so much about shampoo?! Ryon grinned with excitement, Well I spend so much time in the lab around dead bodies and other dirty things, naturally it sometimes gets messy, so I need to know these things so that I can appear presentable to the others!

Eiko was rather amazed as he proclaimed himself an expert at shampoos when he didn't seem to have the hair for it... maybe he picked that look on purpose?
She watched, and listened to him as he spoke of hair's finer details... A subject she had arguable interest in. It would help her vanity, but it was so... so... neeeeeeerrrrrd! She never was one for that sort of thing. Even while she was a good healer, she learned just what she needed, and nothing more. So many ics he mentioned... Was he just yanking her? Trying to sound smarter than he was? He looked smart, but anyone could if they wanted to...
She debated this as he grabbed a bottle of shampoo after looking around, and then she listened to him as he went through the pitch for a brand of shampoo, and her eyes went large, and attentive
She accepted the bottle, and vowed to make him pay dearly somehow if her hair fell out, or she looked hideous after she used it. She looked the bottle over curiously, then... "Thanks," she smiles lightly at him, "So, what's your name?" She could swear she didn't catch it. If he gave it, she could play her airhead card. Sure she wasn't blonde, but hey, if it works, ya know?
Ryon was sure that the shampoo he had given her was the best one for her. "Theres not need to worry, I'm sure that that shampoo will work wonders for you!" As she asked him his name something weird happened. He was drawing a blank. "Uh....ummmm...its......uh....." Shit! How the hell am I going to forget my own name?! I'm blowing it!" Ryon was beginning to panic as sweat began to roll down his face. Are you serious? Your name is Ryon, Ryon f'n Suzuki you moron! God! How am I supposed to help you get a girl when you can't even remember your own name?! Ryon let out a sigh of relief and regained his composure putting a smile on his face. "My name is Ryon, Ryon Suzuki, Captain of the 12th squad." Man that was close. Thanks Mijin. Ryon had forgotten to change into his captain's haori as he left the lab still wearing his lab coat.
Now that he though of it, he had never gotten her name either. "So what's your name? I'm going to need to know who I'm taking out to dinner tomorrow night." Ryon smiled with confidence at his bold move. Wow. . .I'm actually impressed. That was a damn good line! Maybe your not so hopeless after all!" Ryon smiled smugly, it was rare that he could impress Mijin, especially when it came to girls. Ya, I read it in a romance novel! Mijin fell over in his world. A. . .A romance novel? I take back what I just said!

Eiko nodded to the silver haired brain, then watched him with hidden amusement as he stammered, and suffered to remember his name. Something in her always did like to see some suffering. Not torture suffering in the conventional sense, but the awkwardness of men around her.
"A captain? Really? I should pay more attention as I didn't recognize you," she said genuinely. Him being a captain made it more enjoyable to see him stammer about like a nervous lil'schoolboy, but she dared not admit it to him.
She giggled at him, "Oh, you I already gave you my name!" she said to embarrass him playfully, which was a dangerous game and she knew it. "Eiko Kurosawa," she told him again with a smile, "Fourth Squad, 5th seat," she added with pride even though 4th seat was still open, so she didn't quite make it to the point where she filled the gap. It didn't seem to matter to her, though.
She held the shampoo behind her back with both hands as she casually kicked the zanpakuto bell behind her with her heel which made it chime like a series of windchimes.
Ryon had felt a little defeated as she revealed she really didn't know he was a captain. "Its okay, I really just got promoted so I haven't properly introduced myself to most people yet." Ryon still felt weird calling himself a captain. He really didn't feel any different nor act any different than before. Hmmm.....I guess I should really start acting more like a captain. This position demands respect, so I shouldn't fool around so much.
Ryon grimaced as Eiko revealed that he had already asked, and gotten a response, for her name. Oh man! How embarrassing! "Fifth seat huh? For someone with so much confidence I would have thought you were higher."
