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.
Nodding slowly Ryu at Hitsugaya's response Ryu looks to the girl. He would never disrespect the Captain, but he knew they needed to learn more about the girl. It was a feeling in the pit of his stomach, he knew she was important. Turning back to Hitsugaya Ryu begins to speak.
"I am sorry Captain, I did not mean to act so rashly" Ryu says bowing his head. "But, I do not regret it. It is a good thing we discovered this girl, and I will take full responsibility for her, and any actions she make." Ryu says, his eyes reflecting determination. "Please, just allow me to assist her in understanding how she aquired these abilities, I know she can be an alley of Soul Society if we help her".
As Hitsugaya asked the woman for her blade, Ryu smiled to her and nodded, letting her know it was safe. She wasn't amongst strangers, and Ryu wanted her to feel comforatable around them.
Rurou stares at the man as she pulls her blade from her hip handing it to him hilt first. "as far as i can tell my voices don't like one another if that helps at all." She stands there trying to maintain her composure. She stands her hair blowing across her face her skirt blowing in the wind as Rurou kicks a few pebbles around on the roof. "so whats the place you guys do or don't wanna take me to. Sounds kinda sketchy if you ask me. Just out of curiosity if i did not want to go, and you wanted me to go. what are the odds of me not going in that situation?"
Shoukou on the other hand seems to calm herself since she is being ignored to the best of Rurous ability. Rurou finally stops shaking as she feels herself calming down. Her fear still gripping her hearing hitsugaya say his attack was his simplest he could do. Although Rurou cant help but wonder how long she would last fighting one of them. "so how did you guys learn how to do all that stuff. i mean i haven't seen much, but the stuff i have seen is a lot more complex than the stuff i know."

"Hmph," Soi Fon grunted, "Fine," she replied to Hitsugaya in the same breath with some clear annoyance at the situation. She really hoped he liked throwing his weight around since he wouldn't get away with it for long if he pushed things too much. And he'd best not get used to trying to put her face in the dirt.
She swallowed her pride at the menial task tossed at her that likely would've been better served by the lower seated Shinigami that was in the area, then watched calmly to keep record of the situation. She didn't carry about a pad and pencil like some Shinigami did, so she wasn't going to be writing things down like he might have expected, and she sure as heck wasn't going to draw illustrations revolving around bunnies like -some- Shinigami. She was well past the days when she crouched down, and took notes like some rookie spy.
She crossed her arms lightly, then watched Hitsugaya do what he wanted. If he wanted to see her look like some restaurant waitress, he'd have to try his luck some other time. Then again if he kept this up, she might have to teach him how to delegate work better.
Soifon remained quiet when the woman asked her questions. Honestly she would've been brutally honest, and said that they'd take her down, and in dead or alive, but that isn't what they needed said. Further being kind to anyone was out of the question in a situation like this. She also remained quiet for the rest of the questions as she watched, and committed everything to memory as, again, if she said anything it'd frighten the woman, most likely. Soifon already looked dead serious, and stoic. She didn't need to come off as a cold hearted monster.

Hitsugaya, takes the blade from the girl and begins to study it for some time, after looking at the outer part of the blade, he begins to remove it from its hoister, he then looks to the girl and says " This is very odd it seems like your Spirits, want to kill each over, but that still donest explain how you got it i think i may have to take this back to the Soul Society, i know some one who could explain this, ryu stay with the girl im heading back, dont let her out of your site, Captain Soi do as you wish.
(( You will get it back in a bit wait awile ryu then bring her to my division hq under guard))
Ryu nods "yes sir", then as he leaves Ryu turns to Rurou. "Don't worry, we'll head to Soul Society when Hitsugaya calls for us" Ryu says walking to her side. Looking back at Soi Fon he asks "So, what are you going to do Captain?". Once he had her answer Ryu would place his hand on Rurou's shoulder, and smiles gently.
"We'll figure all of this out, have faith. In the mean time, if any Hollows appear, I am more than enough to take care of them" He states, still smiling and determination in his eyes. "I'll protect ya"
Rurou listens and watches them While they speak. Shoukou whispering insults in Rurous ear. "Hayai what should i do here." Rurou ask Hayai in her mind, watching Hitsugaya walk away with her Zonpakuto. "lets see if you are worthy of weilding me. Remeber how you brought me fourth the first time. if you can do that you have nothing to fear." Hayai says without emotion. Shoukou takes the time to cackle loudly in Rurous ears trying to drown out Hayai voice. "bullshit." Rurou mumbles racking her brain picking threw her scattered memories.
Rurou hears Ryu and gives him a look that says i didn't ask for protection. She lifts her left hand to her head, recalling the hazy night she woke up in the hospital. Rurou looks over at the militant looking woman. "what happens if i have separation anxiety from Hayai, he has become a my adviser and i am lost without him. No offense and all but i am not entirely sure i can trust all of you. i just meet you all tonight." Rurou tries to keep her field of view on all three of them, her thoughts flying by in fragments.
curseing herself for handing over her Zonpakuto, Rurou tries to plan a escape . Shoukou shooting each one down as she comes up with it. "Hayai isn't here the only defense you have now is me. doesn't it seem odd to you taking the sword when your the one who hears us. You must be stupid and weak." Rurou tries ignoring Shoukou, finding it harder and harder to do. With each step Hitsugaya takes away from Rurou, holding her Zonpakuto the more Shoukou's words sound like the best option she has.

Soifon looked at Ryu, "I don't have any standing orders short of the observation of the events that unfold with Hitsugaya and the woman's blade, so if there are no objections, I'll keep an eye on you and the girl," she said in a flat tone with her stance quasi-casual with her arms crossed lightly.
As something close to a ninja, she could try and read between the lines of the situation. She wasn't quite able to see if the boy liked the girl romantically, or not, but he certainly was dedicated to the task of keeping her safe. Admirable.
Soifon noticed the girl was looking very agitated now that she lacked her Zanpakuto, and she couldn't blame the girl, but regardless Soifon remained on guard incase she did something foolish. She just hoped that her decision to stay, and supervise would not be made for good reason. Soifon may have enjoyed her work, but she did not enjoy too much of it.
Ryu watched Rurou closely. She seemed a little more agitated then earlier, she keeps shifting her weight, and her eyes dart around more now. Ryu knew she wasn't very trusting of the Soul Reapers, how could she? She had just met them, and now one of them took her Zanpakuto. He needed to say something, he needed to try and calm her down.
"Rurou, listen to me. I know this is all new, and I know what we are doing and saying seems strange. But you have to trust us. I swear to you that we will not harm you, and we will help you, but you have to trust us." He says, trying to calm her down, his voice gentle. After speaking with her, Ryu would walk to Soi Fon, then whisper to her.
"Listen, if she runs off, don't try to force her to come with us. I've got a lock on her Soul Thread and Reiatsu, so we won't lose her. She has to choose to come with us to the Soul Society, we can't force her, or she'll never learn to trust us." Ryu says, his voice and tone completely serious, his eyes reflecting this.
