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, suddenly distracted by the water, ran towards it, only to run away from a wave, then run towards it, and run away again. Evil water would not touch her until she was completely ready! Giggling evilly to herself she did this for quite a while before she was confused by the pattern and was caught up in a wave. Aoide did not want this, she went head over heels, her thigh grinding into the sandy ground, while water, sand, and probably seaweed was sucked up her nose. She was washed back and forth a few more times for good measure before washing up onto the sand.
Dragging herself farther onto shore, hacking, coughing getting rid of all the water in her mouth and lungs. Finally, getting to her feet, she rubbed the sand from her eyes. Her pigtails, now a mess filled with sand, seaweed...was that a shell? Bitterly, she pulled her hair out of the disaterious hair style. Shaking most of her hair free from the ocean by products, Aoide put her hair into a ponytail.
Her nose was runnning and her eyes were red, constantly sniffing she made her way to Captain Hitsugaya, standing in front of him looking miserable she simply stated, "I don't think the ocean likes me very well."
Yukino bowed, and Hisugaya took note of her presence. He quickly went back to curving the ice and then startedf to speak, “Hey you want to help me with this, seems I can’t go out in the sunlight. And the company would be nice,-´´ Hitsugaya pointed another knife at Yukino and began to speak once again. “Don’t worry my Sprit won’t get annoyed he used to this and he gives him some time in the world. ´´
That was one of Yukino's main concern, she didn't want to damage his zanpakuto spirit in anyway. Luckily Hitsugaya told her that it didn't mind. So Yukino walked towards Hitsugaya and grabbed the knife. She sat done and began to carve out blocks of ice out of it.

Soifon nearly jumped out of her skin as she heard that familiar voice. "Y-Yorucihi-sama?!" She she got an eyeful of the swimsuits, and was shocked that Yoruichi had nabbed one for Sayuri. "Wha-buh-Aha..." Soifon stumbled over word after word.
"So... kiddy! So Childish! But... I can stand up for myself... can't I? No! I cannot offend Yoruichi-sama! But she might respect me if I-" and she was interrupted hearing the sounds of a finished transaction.
She was shocked!!! Not only that, defeated!!
She slumped a bit as she watched Yoruichi buy the almost garish swimsuits.
"Yur'uchi-saaaabaaaaa-" she wailed quietly in defeat with squiggly tear waterdall streaks down her face in comedic fashion.
Soifon, thoroughly trounced, then put up her selections before she headed over to accept Yoruichi's selection, then went into a dressing room to put hers on.
Yumeji sighed, then stabbed her hand into the rack, grabbed a swimsuit at seeming random, then went to go purchase it, grumbling, and on the way she picked up a long beach coat to cover up with. She headed for the beach to meet up with Eiko, and the rest at the beach.
--At the Beach--
Eiko trotted out to the waters, and got her feet wet a bit. She kicked at the water some, and tried to enjoy herself some.
But... it seemed like everyone was going to the snack shack... What was so damned interesting, there?
She wandered over with a displeased look on her face. What ever was there, it was more interesting than Eiko herself, in her smoldering hot Bikini!!! Ooooh! She hated not being looked at! Not being the center of -someone's- attention!!
She looked around at the interior of the shack, "Why is it so cold in here? I can cut glass!" she shivered. She then spotted Hitsugaya! "Hmph! Girls fawning over him like that?! I don't get it! He gets so much attention!" She frowned a bit.
--Elsewhere-- "I'm Matanza," she replied to Lucia, then turned to her... "Why are you still standing there? Go put it on. Go, go!" she shooed at her with her hands, "Young girls like you should shed ridiculous modesty if you ever seek to impress anyone," she said as if she knew better. "And those who have 'it'," she motioned to their boobs, "like Halibel, and I, should abuse the power it gives now, and then,"
With that she resumed her search for something for Halibel to wear.
Halibel simply watched things happen. She had nothing of value to input.

Aeria opened her eyes and saw skin. She moved her hand and realized it was resting delicately over a mound of soft, warm flesh, in a cupped position; whereas the other was resting on her own hip, somewhat awkwardly. For a minute, she was in a slight daze, the world moving slowly around her. This person is so nice feeling... Then it sped up.
<"WHAT THE HELL!?!?!?">
Aeria looked up up and saw the face of a woman, evidently unhappy by the recent series of events, all a result of Aeria: the now ruined, torn, -demolished- sun umbrella, laying partially under Aeria's legs, the rest of it sprawling over the sands. Half of this unfortunate lady's bikini had been untied, her bosom partially revealed by the incident.
Aeria stumbled, trying to get up, but just pressing down harder on Ai's breast and slipping in the sand, falling back on top of Ai. She tried again and vaulted herself backwards, onto the sand, her cheeks bright red, and her hands shaking. "Uh-Uhmmmmmmmmm..." She looked at everything but the mess she had made.
MEANWHILE.
"...Shit..." Nanao looked at Nemu, then at the frozen chocolate stand, oppressed by the warm climate of the beach and the sun's melting rays. She sighed, closing her book, noticing she hadn't even gotten to Lisa's entrance into Shunsui's quarters...
She put the book down, pen on the sand next to it, and stood up, brushing off her knees.
She looked at Nemu, who was giving her that wooden look again.
"Well?! Go see if Captain Hitsugaya is here yet!!" She pointed to the shed off a ways. "He'd be in there."
<"You've grown up...">
Nanao paused.
That voice...! No, it couldn't be!!
She jerked her head around, her eyes wide open, her mouth agape, her glasses falling off her face. There, in front of her was, for just a moment... Lisa... then she became blurry. Nanao didn't even react--she just paused, her mind shocked and frozen in its own thoughts. Lisa? Why's Lisa here? But she disappeared a hundred years ago! Will she read me a book? I brought a book. Maybe she could look over my book I'm writing? Her hair's different. Her glasses are the same. She still has the same presence. The same tone to her voice that Nanao had tried to mimic all her life. She's... here... now...
Nanao could only see the colors in front of her, but she could still tell who it was by the feeling that struck her full force; the feeling that made her heart skip a beat. It was as if your long-lost lover had returned to you--some one you had thought had died a hundred years earlier, or something; some one you had tried to forget about every day they'd been gone, and every one of those days, you'd failed.
Nanao grabbed up her glasses, wanting to just double check that her senses weren't tricking her with an illusion of her desires. Sure enough, she was there, in a blue bikini. Beautiful. Nanao couldn't help but blush, managing to fail terribly at her act of cold, neutrality.
<"Don't worry about Ai, she can handle things her own way.">
This gave Nanao a good excuse to tear her eyes from Lisa, and onto her childish subordinate. Sorry Aeria, you're going to have to bail yourself out of this one...
"S-So Lisa... Where have you, b-been..." Nanao gulped, not out of fright, but out of unbelievability. Nanao had always dreamed of this meeting, but had never truly believed it would happen. Maybe she was talking to herself. "...all these years?"
Seeing this dark complexioned woman suddenly spring up as if from no where amongst the swimsuit racks near Soifon and Sayuri, holding a swimsuit for Soifon - that to say the least looked a little embarrassing and meant for a child - her eyes nearly popped out of her head. Judging from Soifon's reaction they seemed to know each other very well, though Soifon was quite dispirited by the selection choice the violet haired woman made.
But it was in the moment that she showed Sayuri a swimsuit for her as well, "W-Wai--... but I-... I'm already--", Sayuri stuttered attempting to protest, though the dark feline was already paying for the swimsuits as Sayuri trailed off in saying while being completed ignored, "wearing... one...", she slumped sufficiently bitched and just as defeated as her Captain beside her. Attempting to put a brighter spin on things she turned to Soifon, "Well... she did pay for them... it would be rude not wear them... r-r-right?", then followed Soifon back to the changing rooms.
Elsewhere...
Hearing his adoptive sister's request for aid in constructing a sand castle, Byakuya stood silent for a few seconds in contemplation. He then turned walking away from the scene as if expecting Rukia to follow him as he stated authoritatively, "Come, Rukia, we shall erect a grand fortress."
With a dignified and noble stride we walked to an ideal spot on the shores with a plastic red bucket filled with ocean water. Pointing a damning finger at the ground in front of him while reciting, "Hado No. 1 Sho", a transparent light bluish light struck the sands at his feet tossing up immense amounts of sand and creating digging a fair sized hole for them to work with. Getting straight to work he wetting and molding the sands as he stated to Rukia, "Let us work on our grand fortress."
Meanwhile...
Appearing directly behind Hitsugaya, the ever stoic and dull gazed Nemu uttered, "Ice is required at the frozen chocolate stand. Vice-Captain Nanao suggested you may provide ice, Captain...", idly pointing a finger in the direction of the frozen chocolate Nemu had made earlier she clarified, "There are no umbrellas or ice to keep frozen chocolate bars. The directions failed to provide which was more desired."
Albeit, going on also at that point in time...
"WH-WH-WHAT THE HELL?!?! Oh my god! Get off me, dammit!", Ai exclaimed wrestling the tiny girl that fallen upon her and is unwittingly groping Ai as her bikini ties were undoing. With a build up reiastu she grabbed the girl and threw the little thing into the ocean waters not far from where she was relaxing. It was only then she noticed her top was hanging off of her, her face turned bright red as she hurriedly fixed herself. Seeing her completely ruined beach umbrella, Ai grumbled as she stomped off to the swimsuit shop to buy a new umbrella.
The stoic visage of Lisa broke a dash in response to Nanao's question looking away a little bit, as if trying to not completely show her feeling ashamed but still some of it managed to show through. Those eyes behind oval frames not all that unlike Nanao's looked back to Nanao herself as she remarked, "I've been here in this city...", she took on a bit more of a serious expression as she took a couple steps closer to Nanao, "I'm sorry I left you so long ago, and... never contacted you. Things happened, and you were far too young to be caught up in them."
Though a soft smile gradually came back to her as she said, "But, times are different now, I don't need to hide anymore. I never did forget you, Nanao."
Hitsugaya smiled as yuki helped him to make ice cubes for once the Young captain was enjoying himself, as the two are chipping away at Hyorinmaru, Hyorinmaru looks down at the two of them and blows a cold wind on the young captain and Yuki, before turning his head back to looking at the wall The young captain then hears girl voice asking for some ice.
“I think Hyorinmaru is enjoying this if he didn’t he wouldn’t off come out in the first place he says to yuki, o and sorry there is a bucket of ice just to my left feel free to take as much as you want, is not like im going to run out, so come back any time, * he smiles and goes back to chipping ice away well thinking about where momo is and if she is ok, as the young captain couldn’t live without her in his life

Rukia's eyes sparkled as she reflected to her older brother, as though he were a God upon a pedestal far far out of her own reach. Suddenly, the man made a swift turn, not even looking in Rukia's direction. The raven haired Shinigami was well adapted to her adoptive brother's actions, however, and quickly moved to keep up with the man's pace.
>>"Come, Rukia, we shall erect a grand fortress."<<
"H-hai, Nii-sama," Rukia nodded her head unable to hide the smile that brightened upon her features. Rukia followed Byakuya to a secluded section of the beach, where the man then displayed a rather unique form of castle creation basics. "Oooh, Nii-sama..."
The young woman ooed and ahed over the Captain's display of power and intellect. Rukia would have never thought to use Kido to help start a base for their castle. Those eyes fluttered and sparkled rather childishly, though with the blue pale and shovel in hand, it only added to her childish appearance.
>>"Let us work on our grand fortress."<<
"H-hai, Nii-sama!" Again, it seemed Rukia stuttered, finding herself far too engrossed by amazement when it came to her brother. She quickly began to mix some of the water she had with some sand, filling it into her bucket and forming a strong base. She could only hope that some day she would hold half the wisdom he held with such tasks as this...
"Shiro-chan," Momo blinked as she spotted the white haired Captain, along with an acquaintance. She had never really met the girl personally, but she knew her name and face by reference. "Yuki-chan; how are you two?"
Momo arched her head up, using a hand to shield from the sun, and took notice of Hyorinmaru, and the chips of ice they were batting from his offering. The brunette smiled as she returned her gaze to the two.
"Could you supply me with a bucket of ice?" Momo asked. "I'm going to go bring some drinks over to Rukia-chan and Byakuya-taicho."
Yoruichi had already hastily changed into her own bikini, and eagerly awaited the two Squad Two members with a bare foot tapping silently against the floor tiles. The tall dark skinned woman was clad in a very revealing modern day swimsuit; a dark orange with faded claw marks in a bit darker orange color. That smile was ever present on her face, not being able to wait to see the two girls in their slightly matching swimsuits.
As Hitsugaya was chipping away at the ice a long with yuki, he then hears a voice that made him happy it was that off momo, his child hood friend who he spent most of his childhood alongside he pauses for a moment and turns to look at her before seeing she is in her swim wear he blushes and begins to speak saying.
“Uh hello momo your looking nice over, I haven’t seen you in long time im glad you’re doing all right, * at this point Hitsugaya totally forgot what she asked for as he was so caught up on how nice momo looked, he then snaps out of the daze and says.
“ Sorry momo do you mind waiting for a bit I gave my last ice bucket to Nemu it won’t be long ice seems to be in high demand, * of course Hitsugaya was telling a lie, he just wanted momo to stay close to him for a bit, even if there was a spare bucket of ice hidden away.
Yukino was carving Hyorinmaru as he [or she?] snorted a icy mist at both Hitsugaya and Yukino. Did he not like it? Yukino made sure that she was very careful, her heart sank thinking that she had messed up. Hitsugaya calmly reassured her, saying that he was just fine with it, otherwise he wouldn't have came out in the first place. Yukino nodded and began to carve again when she felt a vice-captain worthy spiritual energy. She turned around to see who it is. Right before her eyes was a small figure with a smile on her face. ''Yuki-chan; how are you two?'' She said after adressing Hitsugaya.
Yukino didn't like people calling her Yuki-chan, she was a Vice captain, and and thaught that people adressing her should be formal. Momo was also a Vice-captain but that didn't mean she wouldn't adress her formally. Yukino nodded at Momo's presence with a cold and emotionless stare on her face but failed to reply her question. "Could you supply me with a bucket of ice?" She asked asked. "I'm going to go bring some drinks over to Rukia-chan and Byakuya-taicho." Once again Yukino nodded and then reached to one of the buckets.
“ Sorry momo do you mind waiting for a bit I gave my last ice bucket to Nemu it won’t be long ice seems to be in high demand. ´´ Yukino lookedat Hitsugaya and began to speak. ''Nonsense Hitsugaya-taichou, there's a bucket of ice right there I just carved it.'' Yukino said. She wasn't able to detect the white lie and thaught it was a simple mistake on his part. Yukino grabbed the bucket and got up.
Yukino approched Momo with the bucket of ice and gave it to Momo. ''Here you go.'' She said, in a whisper-like tone, her facial expression showed no changes from the moment she arrived and they wont untill she leaves.

Momo received a rather... cold expression from Yukino, though she seemed a bit oblivious to it, or at least, her expression didn't reflect any sort of reaction. Hitsugaya seemed a bit busy and hadn't noticed her right away until she had spoken. With that, the white-haired young Captain turned briefly to face her.
>>"Uh hello Momo your looking nice over, I haven’t seen you in long time im glad you’re doing all right,. Sorry Momo do you mind waiting for a bit? I gave my last ice bucket to Nemu it won’t be long ice seems to be in high demand."<<
"That's fine, I-" Momo was briefly interrupted by Yukino, who hadn't responded to her at all until this moment.
>>''Nonsense Hitsugaya-taichou, there's a bucket of ice right there I just carved it."<<
"Oh?" Momo blinked as she witnessed Yukino reveal a rather full bucket of ice. The thought of the Captain making a mistake, or rather, lying about the bucket never really crossed her mind as she simply smiled and walked over toward Yukino.
>>"Here you go."<<
"Heh, thanks," Momo smiled brightly, obviously coming to her own conclusions over the events thus far. She gave the girl a rather odd wink, then quickly turned her back, escaping rather hastily. "Thanks again!"
It was nice... Toshiro seemed to finally find someone... or rather, someone had found him. She had been worried that her long lost friend would forever remain as cold as his Zanpakuto's abilities. However, it seemed he was starting to open himself up since the last time she had seen him. It was good, right?
"Alright, next to get some drinks," Momo decided as she began to look about. Perhaps she sold have gotten the drinks first?
