“Come on...don’t die on me damn it…” Takano would mutter under his breath, sweat beginning to form on his brow. The healing was proving to be much more difficult than he thought. It would seem the acid was reopening the wound everytime he healed it. Chiyu was working her best on removing the acid, but at this rate, he’d lose too much of his Reishi to keep her alive. Takano would glance behind him as Tsuyoshi shouted about something. “Chiyu, what’s he talking about?” “His Zanpakuto is gone…” Takano’s eyes would widen a bit at that. The Zanpakuto could regrow if destroyed in shikai. Unless that guy had a weak as hell Bankai, it wasn’t gone for good. But that didn’t change the fact that the hollow managed to get rid of his Zanpakuto somehow… Takano sighed and rolled up his sleeves, picking up the girl and throwing her over his shoulder as he hopped up to the rooftops. As he reached the top, he would set the girl down next to him and hold out his Zanpakuto. “Cry, Chiyu” Suddenly, the once short sword would shift into a large Halberd. Takano looked over at Tsuyoshi who was currently in combat with the hollow. “Catch!” He shouted as he threw the halberd towards the renegade Shinigami. “Get your Zanpakuto back as soon as possible, I need mine to save her life!” Takano returned his attention back to the female bount, continuing to heal her, hoping his Reishi reserves would last long enough for the fight to end.

There was a moment, despite Tsuyoshi mentioning to Takano that he had a problem, in which it didn't quite set in that Jidai had been swallowed. But it seemed that the scientist guy had a way for him to recover from it, and that was to give up his own sword and hand it over to the rogue. While maybe it would be better for him to jump in entirely and help Tsuyoshi dispose of this thing before saving someone who likely couldn't even fight, the rogue couldn't help but let his squad 11 mentality overrule that notion at this moment; he started the fight, he ended it. His hand raised to catch the other Zanpakuto with ease; though he would need to add a second hand to keep himself from tipping over right then. Ignoring whatever he thought about this weapon and not really taking the time to look at the blade, he just smiled when Takano mentioned he needed his own sword back as soon as possible. ''Oh, yeah. I'll just-'' He jumped forward with the halberd behind his back, ready to slice in a downward motion, though he didn't do so before delivering an upwards kick to the face of the hollow so that the halberd would cut through the skin around its stomach. It wasn't much, but Jidai could be seen right now, the handle sticking out of the belly of the hollow and allowing for Tsuyoshi to throw the halberd back to Takano. ''Continue crying, dumb blade.'' He mentioned as he rushed forward before wrapping his hand around the hilt of his own blade. ''Expose, Jidai.'' He rolled his eyes as he said that, but in the end it would help him win this fight. It didn't do much to his sword, and didn't transform it other than it being able to, due to the fact it kept his own blade in perfect condition, break off chunks of itself and use it as a shield, or some sort of cannon. As the chunks broke off the hollow would instantly get bloated with the chunks of Jidai trying to shoot their way out of the belly, eventually succeeding in doing just that and allowing Tsuyoshi to slice upwards where he had just been slicing downward. Except this time he sliced through the head of the hollow and vertically sliced the mask it wore in half. He pulled out his sword and looked at the sword in his less than okay hand at this point. ''I just need my sword.'' ''Don't.. think for a second I need you.''Takano Hirai |

Takano caught Chiyu, almost dropping her as he continued to heal the girl. He would lean down, breathing heavily as Chiyu began her neutralization of the acid once more. Takano grimaced as he struggled to keep the wound healed. “Chiyu, how much longer….” Chiyu would pause. “Taki, I don’t think I can stop the acid…” “Then what’s the next course of action?” Takano would ask meekly, not willing to give up on the girl. Chiyu wouldn’t respond for a few seconds before finally chiming in with a less than stellar idea. “If she’s a bount, she can absorb Reiryoku from others...You could let her have some of yours…” Takano would close his his eyes and sigh. “Can you wake her up?” He was hesistant before on waking her, a panicked Bount would only make the healing more difficult. Now it didn’t seem he had a choice.
“Yes…” “Do it” Chiyu would glow a slight green before suddenly launching a green bolt to the Bount girl, who would breath deeply before trying to hop up. After the pain of her wounds finally set in, she would lay back down and glance at Takano with a pained scowl. “I need you to listen to me, you’re badly injured and I can’t heal you properly. So what I’m going to do is allow you to absorb a small bit of my soul so you don’t die. There’s a scary guy over there who keeps insulting my Zanpakuto. If you try anything, he will kill you. Sound good?” The bount would give a nod. “Good. Go ahead and...er, do whatever you do” Takano would suddenly be surrounded by a blue aura as the bount grasped his arm, slowly absorbing his soul. The feeling was painful and extremely draining, but after about a minute or so the girl’s wounds would finally heal. Takano would fall to the side, holding his chest as he tried to stay conscious. “Tsuyoshi, did you get it…” Takano would murmur as he rolled over on his side. The bount would get up and kneel next to him and examine him, perhaps checking for wounds or just trying to get a better look of his face. Tsuyoshi Hidou

''I hated it in there! All gooey and nasty, the hell has that thing been eating?'' And like that, the contact between Tsuyoshi and his sword was remade again, instantly being tested by the sword pretty much scolding the renegade. ''You know I don't like being exposed. So why did you?'' Jidai asked as the renegade knew that, while it wasn't the favorite form of the sword, it did get the job done most of the time. ''Could have just let you in there.'' He shrugged, his eyes moving over to Takano as he mentioned his name, asking him if he got it. ''Got what?'' He asked as his sword seemed to see the same thing as he did but chose to react differently. ''We should kill both of them. They're both weak, weaker than us, and.. well, scientist or not, he's still a shinigami.'' Jidai said. ''Yeah, a scientist shinigami who trusted me with his weapon.'' ''To gain your trust! My lord are you really this stupid?'' It said. ''Well okay, how about that bount thing over there? See how she is decimating people just by touching them?'' Tsuyoshi looked up and noticed that the bount was indeed doing something to Takano, causing him to drop to the side and allowing the bount to get up again. ''Yeah, maybe that could be a problem.'' He admitted as he finally jumped up to stand next to the bount, but making sure he was out of arms reach as he pointed his sword at her, and in turn at Takano behind her. ''This is what I'm talking about!''Takano Hirai

The bount leaned in slightly, as if seeing something on Takano’s torso. Maybe she wasn’t checking him for wounds… Takano would give a pained grin, leaning up a bit on his elbows. “Could've at least taken me to dinner fir-” Takano would notice the renegade Shinigami pointing his sword towards the bount. In a sudden moment of panic, Takano would hop up and grab the bount, rolling around so his back was facing to the sword instead of the bount. He would close his eyes in preparation for the strike the bount would've received, exhaling as he felt no such thing. Takano glanced over his shoulder with anger in his eyes. “You are not going to kill her” He’d say as if stating an absolute. “And if you try, I will be forced to stop you” Takano would not move from this position, hoping the Renegade would just stand down and go away. He didn’t wish for this to break out into a fight, but as far as he could tell this bount was innocent. If Tsuyoshi wanted to get to her, he would have to get through Takano first. Just to be safe, Takano would form an Eishohaki Enkosen in secret over his chest. If the man did manage to stab through him, the Enkosen would hold it off long enough for the girl to run. "Sheath your Zanpakuto or leave, I don't care which. I don't want to fight you but I will not let you harm her" Tsuyoshi Hidou |

''You want me to leave?'' Tsuyoshi repeated after Takano, confusion riddling his face. ''And here I thought scientists were smart.'' ''Yeah, you tell him!''He paced a bit, but even with Takano putting himself in front of his blade would not make him lower it even an inch. ''Ever the white knight, aren't we?'' He added despite knowing absolutely nothing about this guy, the self proclaimed scientist who seemingly gave up his own being, albeit a small bit, for someone else. Warming to some, maybe, but not to Tsuyoshi who had pretty much been ignored by this guy in order to look for hollow activity. Without killing them to boot! ''Giving up your soul just for some recognition.'' He said, smiling as he shook his head. ''We're supposed to reap those, not give them out freely.. we're death gods, not ohmygod stay alive gods.'' Tsuyoshi wasn't exactly mad, just confused but he would never tell Takano that, because it meant admitting that he was wrong. ''You saw what she did just with a touch!'' He urged. ''You say you let her, but what if she did it again?'' ''Even I know that trusting someone as blindly as that is asking to be killed.'' Takano Hirai |

Takano grimaced as the Renegade Shinigami went on a tirade of how he was wrong, and the bount should be killed. He seemed confused by Takano’s actions, something which he didn’t blame the man for. Not many people would be willing to give themselves up for something like a bount, but it didn’t matter to Takano. “If she was going to kill me, she would of done so already. I’m betting if she absorbed all of my soul she would be more than powerful enough to take you down. Bounts tend to get extreme power boosts upon completely consuming a living soul” Takano would pause, arms wavering a bit. “Our job is not to kill people, our job is to protect both the living and the dead. She hasn’t done anything aside from get attacked, and absorb some of my soul with my permission. If that’s all the reason you need to kill, then you should of just killed me back there. I said it once, and I will say it again, You will not kill her” The female bount, eyes widening upon realizing what the Renegade shinigami was planning to do would grasp one of Takano’s arms. The injuries she still sustained were non-life threatening thankfully. As she did so, Takano would glance down at her and give a slight grin. “And if you try, I’ll give her permission to take the rest of my soul so she can escape. I die, you don’t get a battle, and she escapes free to do whatever she wants. But if you stop being stupid and lower that weapon, I can keep an eye on her to make sure she doesn’t cause anymore trouble” Takano glanced behind him. “Besides, I trusted you blindly and didn’t die. What makes her any different?” Tsuyoshi Hidou

Tsuyoshi listened as Takano defended his actions even when the renegade did not. Remembering what he had been tought way back when when he was just a student looking for a placing within the Gotei 13, was exactly what this guy just told him; to protect both the dead and the living. Tsuyoshi didn't agree with it, but there also wasn't much he could do about it. Yes he was renegade and not bound by whatever they fought for, but he at least understood why Takano willingly gave up a piece of himself. Meanwhile Jidai had been mentally listening. ''Understand it as you may, they do make for great targets right about now. And with this guy threatening to defend himself by dying, I suggest you put him out of his misery right now and strip him of his defenses.''''Tsch, fine.'' Tsuyoshi muttered as he put the sword in the scabbard with a frown. ''No use in getting more of those Shinigami after me.'' He added. ''Still think you made not one, but two mistakes today. Trusting me is something people haven't done in a long time, and if you hadn't threatened me with dying just to get rid of me, to take my fun away, I would have shown you just why people don't trust me.''

A few tense, silent moments would pass as the renegade seem lost in thought. Finally, the silence would be ended with the renegade sheathing his Zanpakuto. After this, Takano would give a sigh of relief before falling to his side, dissipating the Enkosen on his chest whilst also secretly preparing one for the bount if he decided to recend his disengagement. The surrendering of a portion of his soul combined with the sheer amount of Reishi spent in trying to keep the Bount alive utterly drained him. All he could really do now was cast minor spells, of which he only had enough Reishi for one more. The bount would sit up and kneel over Takano once more, before picking him up and throwing his arm over her shoulder. Takano would look up at the Renegade for a moment. “I...I’m glad to know you saw reason. And thanks for the help, even if you were planning on attacking me after…” He’d give a slight grin. “Call em mistakes if you want, end of the day no one got hurt… That’s a win to me” Takano didn’t really know where the bount was planning to take him. Perhaps she really was going to kill him. If so it wasn’t like he could fight her. Guess he had to put his trust in someone one last time before leaving. “By the way, if you ever visit soul society, hit me up… We should go drinking sometime…” “Taaaki, stop trying to make friends with the crazy killer man…” Tsuyoshi Hidou

''You call it seeing reason.'' Tsuyoshi responded even as Takano was picked up by the Bount. Pathetic. ''I call it waiting for a fair fight. You're in no condition to even put up a fight. As delusional as everyone may think me to be, I will never pick on the little people, even when they're down.'' ''..honestly? picking now of all times to grow a sense of honor?'' Jidai said, though surprisingly not going to any length to try and stop Tsuyoshi from doing so. Could it be that they saw eye to eye on something for once? Even if it was the mere fact that it would be two against one, even in the weakened state they were both in, he assumed, it would be unfair either way. Tsuyoshi grinned when Takano said that if he was ever to visit the Society that he should hit him up and they could go drinking for whatever reason. Something the renegade didn't quite want, but wouldn't flat out refuse. ''How about instead of a drink we fight?'' He asked, grin widening as his hand subconsciously started hovering over his sword. ''And then after that you can buy me a drink.'' ''Why, why would you keep him alive?''Tsuyoshi had his reasons. Reasons he wouldn't share just yet. After that he just turned around and took off without a word. Takano Hirai |
