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.
Aoide Sato's thick brown hair was tied up into a messy bun ontop of her head. Ringlets of hair tumbled down onto her shoulders, but she could care less about her damp hair as she walked out onto the heated rocks of the Hot Springs. She really needed a good soak, lately with all of her training her muscles were often tight, she just needed a few moments to relax.
As she came to the pool of heated water, Aoide noticed the carefully placed rocks rocks where people could sit or rest thier legs. Aoide was actually surprised there were other people in the pool already, usually the mixed sex bath was empty. But this might have also been influenced by the free towel offer the mixed bath was offering. Dropping her towel on the floor, not even bothering to fold it, Aoide winced a litte as her muscles protested as she lowered herself into the bath.
Ah, the water was hot, almost to the point of being too hot, the way Aoide liked it. Her skin pinkened to the water, her scars remained paler then the rest of her skin. Aoide wasn't too concerned with her scars though, nor her tattoos, instead she threw her legs up on a rock and sunk deeper into the water. her muscles slowly relaxing.

The free towel was quite the offer! It was enough to have Yumeji actually return to the place with one busted hotspring that forced men and women into the same one.
And so Yumeji appeared at the shore clad in a towel. You know what she looks like, right? Brown hair, obscenely long pulled into a ponytail with bangs framing her face. Almost black eyes that are large and expressive, though almost always willed with a laziness that was hard to truly fathom, or filled with a million mile stare. This time it was just laziness in her eyes.
She stood by the edge of the pool, and whipped off her towel revealing the large, soft, DD sized breasts in a simple white once piece swimsuit that showed off the swell of her pleasant breasts. She didn't bother with chest wrappings this time since the last time they gave out, and snapped across the pool like a rubber band. She'd rather show'em a off a little instead of chancing that they'd get revealed more with another wardrobe malfunction.
The rest of her body was pretty impressive, too. Feminine, slender, yet muscled. She looked very athletic, perhaps having hit the genetic jackpot.
At her waist was a small tanto attached to the side of her bikini by seemingly nothing. Said weapon was made of clear lacquered wood with brass fittings at the ends of each piece. She took it off as if it were magnetically attached to her, then simply wrapped it in the towel as it's set aside for safe keeping. Why she brought it was a mystery, but she didn't exactly plan on using it from the looks of things.
The real reason, of course, was because Tsubame wanted to visit the springs, too, and being the Zanpakuto spirit, she had to accompany Yumeji as a zanpakuto. No one else could see her, but it didn't matter, she wanted to go, and hang out.
Yumeji waded into the pool, and smiled at the only other person there... a naked woman! Yeehaa! When she saw the woman naked, her eyes lit up, and she smiled more before she spoke, "Heya. I'm Yumeji," she waded over, and sat beside the woman boldly, yet gracefully.
It had been a long, long day. And unfortunately, he hadn't even gone on a mission. It wasn't that that had messed with him. It was the stupid members in Squad 4 who didn't know what they were doing!
It had been just a simple mission, where he had caught a bunch of cuts... and they couldn't stitch him properly! What was with that?! They were probably raw recruits to begin with. Most of them didn't even have enough reiastu to pentrate his skin with the point of the needle.
After awhile, they had given up on stitches and Isane had simply head him up. But his muscles were now in knots and loops from discomfort.
"Welcome to the hot springs sir, how can I help you?" The attendant asked innocently.
"Yea ummm... Wonderin' if I could borrow a towel." He asked, disgruntled slightly.
"I'm sorry sir," the attendant frowned, "but we don't offer towels for loan. However, we will give you a free one if you use the unisex hotspring!"
He blinked... okay, so for the lack of better words, what the hell? Was soul society encouraging more... intimate relationships?
"Eh." He huffed, "I guess I ain't got a choice huh?"
Taking the towel and undressing, the tall captain wrapped his towel about his waiste and stepped outside before heading towards the hot springs.
However, he didn't expect to see so many people... and in the corner... was that... Aoide? Shit! Now what? He really wanted to relax in the hot springs, but... it meant he would have to strip. Perhaps he could just go in with the towel. Yea, that would seem like a good idea.
Getting over a flash of embarrasment, the large captain walked over to her resting form, noticing another woman swim up to her and talk to her.
"Oi." He said, glowering from above her, making sure that his towel was still in place. Because of the steam he didn't notice that she... lacked attire, which is why there didn't seem to be any hesitance with him. "What're ya doin' here?"
He nodded at the other girl, who seemed to be otherwise preoccupied.
Aoide grinned and scooted over a little to give the woman more room to sit beside her. Being a little stubborn Aoide didn't give up her rock, her feet were too comfortable. Aoide happily wiggled her toes, she had tried some of that human stuff on her toes, she liked the bright red she had choosen for her nail polish. Maybe she could become brave enough to paint her fingernails as well. "Aoide Sato," she said smiling at the other woman. Well at least not all Shinigami women had a problem being naked. Not that Aoide held it against some of the shyer women. Really Aoide probably would have been the same except she was part of the Yuu family, and well all of their baths were joint, as well as festival naked dancing.
"Was wondering if anyone was going to be brave enough to actually talk to one another in here? Not a very social bunch when it comes to hotsprings," Aoide said leaning her head back and closing her eyes, "Shesh, you think if they were so nervous they wouldn't show up to a joint bath, but I suppose the free towel made them come in," Aoide rolled her shoulders to loosen her muscles.
She looked up and blinked a few times, she was actually semi surprised as she heard Kenpachi's voice. She raised an eyebrow, not even trying to hide her expression as her eyes roamed up and down Kenpachi's body. He was dressed in only a towel, her other eyebrow raised as she mentally enjoyed looking at his muscles and scars.
"Baka, I'm soaking, I needed a chance to relax. What the hell happened to you?" she added looking at the fresh scars on his chest, they looked oddly mangled, she then motioned for Kenpachi to join them, there was room on her other side, but Death Gods help him if he tried to take her foot rock!

"Yoh, Captain Kenpachi,"Yumeji said with a big grin, and a playful salute that seemed to toe the line at being respectful, and no more. Formality wasn't her thing coz it took sooooo much energy to use. And that's why she's in 5th seat instead of Lt. Or captain or sumfin... that and she's lazy.
She smiled at Aoide after seeing Kenpachi, "Yeah, modesty's a bitch ain't it?" she laughed jokingly as she couldn't bear to be naked in front of people. "But hey, as long as we have fun, eh?" she smiled, "What say I order us up some sake?"
She stood up, and got ready to get said sake, apparently not bothered by the nudity of others, or potential for it, though the language of her eyes almost obviously made it apparent that she was more interested in the woman than Kenpachi despite the fine physical specimen he might be.

Beck had come to relax as well. The burden of being a big-mouthed punk had been weighing heavily on his shoulders lately. Someone had to carry it though, and Beck was just that generous. After receiving the free towel from the attendant at from, he began to undress, throwing down his Shinigami uniform and even his zanpakuto carelessly in heap, a small grumble coming from the spirit Yakushin. However, he was careful in removing the goggles from the top of his head, placing them carefully atop the wadded up clothing. He wrapped the towel around his waste and began making his way toward the same sex hot springs, as agreed upon with the attendant. The free towel was pretty sweet and hey, maybe he’d get a peak of something.
His slim figure appeared on the shore. There were more people here than he thought. Beck scanned the pool, and saw two lovely young women talking in the corner, and it even looked like one of them was naked! This possibility alone set Beck’s destination. Shortly after dropping his towel, he made his way into the relaxing water, giving a sigh of relief, the stresses of the day seeming to melt away. He soon had made his way to Aiode and Yumeji, beginning to flex his arms in a more than obvious way. Beck arrived as Yumeji stood up out of the water to retrieve the sake, his eyes following her graceful form, attempting to keep his jaw from dropping.
“Hello ladies…” the young Shinigami said in the smoothest tone he could conjure. However, Beck soon realized he wasn’t the only male in this corner. His head turned slightly as his focus was directed from Yumeji to Kenpachi Zaraki. Figured he would be here; Beck knew there was reiatsu he recognized somewhere in here. Had he come here with the same intentions as him? Why would he be trying to pick up girls? Whatever the reason, he was really cramping Beck’s style. The rookie’s arm returned his sides, feeling slightly embarrassed that he was flexing needlessly in front of his captain.
“Captain…” Beck said, greeting Zaraki sheepishly as he lowered his body further into the water, not even bothering to introduce himself to the two females.
A smirk cracked across the man's face as he caught her oggling him shamlessly. "See somethin' ya like?" The words just happened to slip out of his mouth.
He chuckled before frowning at her question. "It's nothin'. Just got cut up in a mission. And... the Squad 4 guys didn't patch me up right... It was annoyin'."
Obliguing to her request, he decided to keep his towel on before decending into the water and taking a seat by Aoide. He'd be damned if he just flashed his junk out for the world to see, especially people he didn't know.
"Yo." He responded to the other girl, glad that someone was okay with being casual when addressing him, he liked it that way. "Your name is...?"
"What say I order us up some sake?"
"That, I can agree to." Kenpachi laughed and placed his feet gently over Aoide's kneading them gently. He smirked and leaned back against a rock, closing his eyes and thoroughly enjoying himself.
“Captain…”
He looked up and saw the raw recruit that he remembered to have a big ego. "Eh? Oi, come over here... what's your name again?"
He didn't actually forget the boy's name, but he wanted to crush his ego for the boy's own good.
"Che, you'd think by now Unahana-san would have a special Zaraki kit waiting for when you come in," Aoide grinned, her cheeks fluching a little when Kenpachi asked about her oogling. Luckily, the hot water was already tinting her skin red and no one noticed. Only a slight furrowing of her eyebrows gave away any type of worry to the large captain. She then turned her eyes to another guy who entered the pool and was obviously flexing his muscle for Aoide and Yumeji, that is until Kenpachi showed up and the boy slowly lowered himself deeper into the water, the act made Aoide laugh.
"What is you name?" Aoide asked simply, he had amused her, "Because," she said flexing her own arm, "I think we should arm wrestle sometime, I like an even playing field. Hey! Baka get off my rock, mine!" she said suddenly as Kenpachi's feet started touching her own. Roughly, Aoide pushed Kenpachi's legs and feet off the rock, "mine," she added.

Yumeji watched Beck show off, and smiled, but not out of desire, but out of amusement, but it was hard to tell the difference. Tsubame was snickering in Yumeji's mind as she lived vicariously through her partner.
Yeah, they're some mighty lesbians. Maybe the Aoide girl is straight, or something? Would be a shame if he were showing off for nothing, eh?
"Yumeji Rashoujin, 5th seat of squad 9," she introduced herself to Kenpachi, but frankly if someone gauged her reiatsu it'd be more along the lines of a Lieutenant, or someone better than 5th seat. Prolly some good reason for her being where she is, though, eh?
She smiled wide at the gathering, and then walked up to the signal bell and then she spoke into the communication's tube, "Oiy, sake. Lots of it. And no cheap stuff... and bring filtered, and unfiltered!" she chuckled as she had a preference for the unfiltered Sake that was milky in color due to the rice particles left in it.
With that she waded back over to the group, and sat by Aoide again, "Sake's on the way," she announced with a grin though it was obvious even if she hadn't mentioned it.
"Hey, new guy, what's your name?" she looked at Beck wanting ta know since he's trying to get fresh.
She also noticed she was the only one wearing clothes in this place. Even her Zanpakuto spirit threw off her bikini, though it made no difference since no one else saw her but Yumeji, and herself.
She chuckled at their antics, but realized her physical brawn sucked, and it was clear from the way she was built.

For some unknown reason her zanpakutoh spirit Ekishou had requested to come to the hot springs today. This was rather odd as usually he hated the hot springs being an ice type zanpakutoh. She could only assume it was some kind of training. Perhaps if he could get used to the heat his ice based attacks would be able to overcome greater heat. Seki shrugged. It didn't matter much to her, afterall there was that free towel offer and she had heard a rumour that some of the towels were rather exquisite. She walked over towards the counter and got her free towel and then walked into the changing rooms. In the changing rooms she slowly stripped and placed on string bikini bottoms. She looked around through her bag.
"Dammit I forgot the top." she said quietly. She wrapped the towel around herself and walked towards the hot spring. However, as she got close she stopped suddenly. The reiatsu coming from the hot spring was massive. A captain had to be present and a strong one at that. As she walked closer she heard small fragments of conversation and managed to work out which captain it was. "Kenpachi." she whispered. She walked slowly towards the hot spring and stopped at the edge.
"Do you mind if I join you?" she asked. One hand was holding up the towel which covered her c cups and her other was holding her zanpakutoh. It was in a plain black sheath, but the handle was icy blue and the cross guard appeared to be made of crystal. Her silver hair, usually braided into a ponytail, was currently free flowing and her pale blue eyes scanned over the pool. Two females, two males. She hoped she hadn't interrupted something....intimate.
