What have you done?! [CT R.Closed (Kasumi)]

Kasumi watched the shinigami in the Rukon with a curious gaze. Her aquamarine eyes held a gentle look to them as she watched the man intently from her perch in a tree. The appearance of the man was one thing, her had raven hair like herself and a serious face. Someone who probably held their job in very high regard. Rayne Morei, the sixth division vice-captain. How strange it was to hear the man talk to himself, probably to the spirit of his sword. But what he was saying was what caught the petite girls interest. Her raven hair swayed slightly, as her pale hands gripped the branch she was on tighter than before. What did she want to do? Stop the seated officer, tell him that such a path could kill him in the end? But then again why did the captain of squad two care? He was not her concern. But at the same time, betraying the Gotei six was an unforgivable act.

She would beat the very thought out of him if she had to. Although it did not seem to be her place, so the petite female merely continued to listen to all he had to say to the spirit of his sword. This should've been something he did in the space of a safe area. He had not even made sure it was safe before saying such private thoughts to his sword. Her eyes narrowed some. The second division captain held her reiatsu under a lock and key. It was hidden from everyone, something that Satine the former captain had taught her. So in silence the girl stared down at the raven haired man contemplating her move.

Should she attack, or allow him to betray all those that depended on him? He certainly was thinking in a selfish manner. To save one life, or, save thousands? But the man seemed to forget this, that each life left a ripple in the universe. Arching her eyebrow the petite female suddenly vanished from where she had been in the tree. After all Rayne was on the move, going to throw away his rank. The captain merely closed the distance between them, remaining behind Rayne though.

The sunlight seemed brighter in the direction they were moving. Something that should have seemed so wonderful. Seeing as how Rayne was taller than her, the sunlight would create a shadow from him, but she was remaining along the shadows of the tree. It was strange how the captain moved in such a manner, her blue eyes appearing rather curious as Rayne continued to walk. It was strange how oblivious the vice-captain was, he seemed absorbed in his own thoughts. Which wasn't a bad thing, something that Kasumi fully expected when a person was alright with fighting even their own squad. It was disgusting to see that he expected to leave his duty without any consequences. Maybe death would be good for someone who thought they could leave so easily? The petite captain contemplated this briefly before stopping mid step to look towards the sky.

"Its a beautiful day, isn't it Morei?"

The small girl's voice held no malice to it, just an innocent observation.

Then suddenly she was in front of the man, her smile more fox like than before as she stared up into his face. "I should tell you some information that may be vital. Do not discuss such things with your blade in public. Where anyone could hear you." Cocking her head to the side Kasumi looked content watching the shinigami before her with wide child like eyes as she uttered the words. Staring down the man, the petite girl wanted nothing more than to reach upwards and hit his head against a tree, hard. Obviously he needed to get such thoughts out of his head before his captain heard. It Jushiro heard that Morei was planning such things the man would be mad. Something she did not want to see, nor want to handle.

If he wanted to be so reckless then he could do it in small doses. But to out right plan on leaving the shinigami in such a manner? No way in hell would she allow such a thing to take place. Her job was to hunt down traitors, but if she could stop one before it even escaped the world? Even better... The petite taicho merely remained in place staring at Morei intently for a moment. Why would he even think of betraying his squad and the shinigami around him? What ever the reason it had to be a good motivation for him to say such bold things. Specially when it was a known fact that Kasumi enjoyed to stay in the woods to watch the wildlife. Obviously Rayne had not thought out the obvious factors when saying such things.

"Anything you want to say before I arrest you, Rayne Morei of the sixth squad?"

He turned, his mind kicking into overdrive. Where the hells had she come from? She hadn't been there when he'd arrived, so he had to have passed her. But for that to have happened, and him not to have sensed her...

Then he recognized her, and his heart sank. The Second Division captain, Kasumi Suzumei. This was very bad, very bad indeed. This could certainly put a damper on a lot of things, especially his plans to get out of here while the getting was good.

His mind rang with Kazoku's voice. Rayne! Relax, act natural! She might not have heard what you were saying. Dammit! How did I miss her? I can't believe it, I'm so sorry, Rayne, I–

Stop, Kazoku. I'll get us out of this, one way or another.

He bowed slightly. “Of course it is, Captain Suzumei. That's part of the reason I'm out here. It's so nice, I thought I'd just wander while I have some time off.”

He whirled when she vanished, staring down at the diminutive captain, reminded somewhat of Captain Miyazaki for a moment.

However, when she said what she did, he swore, flash-stepping away to stand several yards away from her as he pulled his Zanpakutou free. “I will not let you stop me from leaving, Captain. With all due respect, the Shinigami are corrupt. They've become too concerned with making sure that people continue to cycle through, and no longer give a damn about the living. I'm done being party to that. And NO ONE will stand in my way. I'm leaving, and there's not a damn thing you can do about it.”

He bowed his head. “As much as it pains me, because I made my name here from living by the laws and doing as they dictated, but I do apologize for what I'm about to do. I'm afraid I have to resist your arrest.” He smiled, lifting his head. “Unfortunately, this means I have to fight you if you refuse to stand aside.”

Taking two steps forward, he lifted his head, looking right at her. “Will you please stand aside? I don't want to fight you,” he said softly, sadness clear in his eyes. “You were family for a time, as were all Shinigami. But that time ends now.” He shook his head, and raised his Zanpakutou, holding it horizontal across his body. “Now, I fight for the living. They, and ONLY they, are my family.”

Kasumi looked at Rayne for a moment, he was young and foolish. Such naive dreams he had, to think he could walk away from the shinigami with out any reprecussions. The captain merely stared him down for a moment, before turning her gaze to the side. He wanted her to stand down and allow him to pass by her? Why would she allow such a thing to take place? Her aquamarine eyes held a gentle look to them despite the anger she felt. Sure she understood the shinigami's angry, and wanting to leave but she was not going to be the one to allow him to escape. The corrupt shinigami? This amused her more than anything, he was preaching to someone who was forced to be deaf to these words. After all it wasn't just the shinigami in play here, but the central 46. A group of souls who reigned over the shinigami with an iron fist. If they ordered something then the Captain Commander was to follow it without every questioning it. A fact that made Kasumi herself wary, if she was ordered to slaughter everyone in her squad, she would have to do so out of orders. But could she? Never. Harm one of her own? This thought in mind the small girl merely stared at Rayne for a moment.

He was being selfish here, only thinking about himself. The humans had one another to unite with, their own forms of protection, yet he acted like the shinigami were making victims of the humans. What a strange little man... Was he inlove with a human? That had to explain it, no rational shinigami would tell the captain of the second squad there was nothing she could do about it. She was a ranged fighter, who was more than capable of stopping the shinigami if she had to. What a bore though. Eying the man lazily her gaze seemed almost cat like for a moment before she stepped back. Her white haori swaying as she did so. What did she have to say to the shinigami that out right defied the Gotei Six, all she could honestly think was he was lucky she was not allowed to release her bankai. None of the captains were, but the sixth division shinigami was going to feel the petite girl's wrath. Lazily she pivoted her body away from him, looking like she was about to leave, allowing Rayne his escape, but she merely placed a hand over her eye, sighing. Her reiatsu suddenly releasing.

Anyone in the area knew that the reiatsu, although it seemed more demented than normal. Twisted, poisioned almost. She was far from a shinigami it seemed. Her soul was being torn and two. Half of her just wanted to let Morei leave, and watching the fun that arose from it. This half being the inner hollow, the other half wanted to strike the vice-captain down. Taking a few more steps forward, the area around them seemed to get hotter as the petite taicho turned. The bright blue eyes flickering a frightening red. It looked like blood was spreading through the oceans of her eyes. A low growl fromed in her throat before she suddenly vanished, using a rapid shunpo, appearing behind the shinigami which had told her would resist arrest. "You're lucky that Kasu-chan is not here right now, maybe you'll survive this ordeal~" The child like voice of the inner hollow cooed to Morei from behind him. Tenpuku was going to have fun with this, being a shinigami, or rather something more than that. Who could play with someone else? Best part of all, no one would question it. If Morei died it'd be covered. Muttered about, called a damn shame, but nothing more.

It truly was a damn shame, Tenpuku knew that Kasumi wanted nothing more than to teach Morei a lesson, and that he would be. Her hand fell to the blade at her side, before she leaned forward slightly. Maybe she should play with the man. But that would make the shinigami half mad, she didn't want to do that just yet. The arrancar like reiatsu swirled around the pair of them, before vanishing.Her aquamarine eyes were now a blazing crimson colour as she released her blade from the shearth that housed it. Her reiatsu would have been the only thing to tip people off that something wrong was happening, but she didn't mind in the least. Her raven haired swayed as she stared toward the blade for a moment. There was no need to release into shikai when she'd just be attacking the shinigami. Thrusting the blade upward suddenly the petite girl's body was in a fluid motion. It was like watching the wind at work. She had no intetions of allowing this man to leave alive this afternoon, not when he failed to realize the mistake he mad. Upsetting Kasumi in such a manner was not forgiveable, not her best friend! Anger shone in the crimson eyes as she attacked, yet not a noise escaped her.

"Sorry Morei-kun, one does not resist dearest Kasumi-sama."
