"What is it with rain in the fucking town?" Masayoshi frowned as he walked in the rain towards the Mall in the shopping district. His jet black hair had fallen around his face and hung loosely from the torrential rain, his brown warn leather jacket was drenched along with his baggy grey long sleeve top and his fitted worn blue jeans not to mention his small military boots that squelched as he walked. His felt as miserable as he looked, he recieved or orders to return to the scene of his defeat to see if there was more to the fight than met the eye and also to scope out any other potential Arrancars and report back to the Seritei immediately, "Under no circumstances to engage..." The words rang in his head like a shrill whistle... How he hated whistles.

He approached the large doors and heard them squeak as they slid gruffly open to allow him entry, it was a late friday afternoon and plenty of people were around with the bars at the far end of the shopping center along with the various restaurants. He was slumped forward as he walked, his hands in his pockets, it was hardly the posture of a proud man to say the least and he hated it. he stomped through and entered a English-style pub, grabbed a pint of ale and went to sit in the corner with a boiling radiator. He took off his jacket and slyly removed his boots and let them dry. After a while they appeared to the point of just damp and put his boots back on. He pulled out his Soul phone and nothing appeared out the ordinary and he thanked the heavens for it .

Masayoshi let out a yawn as his hair has returned to its messy pointedness, he drank his ale and listened to the songs being played and found them all rather boring. "My god people actually enjoy this shit?" he hung his head forward and closed his eyes for a moment, "Hey big brother, what are we doing back here? You're not gonna fight that evil witch again are you?" Kikenkaze wagged her tail and her ears dropped at the remembrance of their last encounter, she changed to her adult form and cuddled into Masayoshi; "Masa i've been thinking about that foul bitch and if we meet her I don't know how I'm gonna feel about it... I'll want to tears her guts out don't get me wrong! But at the same time... I don't want to go through that again do you hear me!" Tears began to well in her eyes when Masa awoke himself as a group of men howled in laughter between them. " Why do I have to be in this shit hole." He let out a small grown then looked at a painting of a couple cuddling each other to which Masa just rolled his eyes; "Fuck off..."

Llusia sat swinging her legs back and forward humming to herself "We haven't been here in a while, not since my little melt down and such right...?" she tapped her sword and her inner self stood balancing herself "Yea it is kiddo, alot of stuff has happen since then" her inner self referred to when she lost herself to insanity. Lost herself to the darkness of her heart and the sinister of her mind, her arrancar self that ran rapid in her body and took over her very soul. It took a lot of...killing to get out of the mood. Alot of things she regrets now, but she convinced herself that it left a good mark on her, made her understand that she is a monster and nothing more, not a human, not a shinagami, something much less human, a monster, a...an arrancar. She was no longer insane with the lust blood an anger, but now she was not the same bubbly girl she was before. She was...not depressed but not happy, just calm and did her best to smile, but have it come out half heartedly. It was just facts now, nothing that hurt her, but made her understand, love was not something she was deserving off, I mean look at what she was, then look at the majority of her race, monsters by definition, cant reproduce, she was made an arrancar for a reason. Now she knew that, of course Marc tried to tell her otherwise but even her love for him couldn't change very much, though whenever he asked if she is alright she acts her happiest to make him happy and it pained her to see him know that she wasn't but not say anything. Miho had constantly reminded her that the darkside was always waiting for her, and she loved her little sister for it. It brought joy to her mind to talk with her twisted sister that she loved so much."You know...I'm sorry for all of this" she pointed to her mind and glumly "if it weren't for me, when i went in to pin Ma-" she went silent and Llusia only sighed "It is whatever, I know that you couldn't control yourself, just...go away for a while okay?" she scooted off the ledge and landed balancing on her sword sheath, making some bystanders watching clap, laugh, scream, and some even ran. She balanced down back to her feet and walked as the downpour hit white button down showing her bandage bra and stomach.

Some boys were watching her and snickering, but she just walked right in between them "Wait little missy, let me cope a fe-" his extended arm went towards her boobs, making her turn and grab his hand. She squeezed and broke it immediately "Get the fuck out of here before i brake more then that hand..." she let go of his hand making him fall back and roll around in pain, his four other friends surrounded her "Lets teach this little bitch a less-" she ran at him and stepped off his chest making him slide backwards and making her propel herself in the air onto the guy behind her shoulders' she used her sheathed sword and held it around his neck, then used momentum to flip him on to his stomach. She ran and tackled the closest one, punching his face and breaking his jaw before standing up and looking at the last one standing, her hair parted in her face and he red eyes glared at him. He made a move, but Llusia moved at inhuman speeds in front of him "Wh...what the hell are you!" she stared into his eyes "A monster..." screams could be heard and police cars passed Llusia who was walking on the sidewalks "Idiots..." she realized where she was and almost choked "Haven't been here in ages, might as well go in, right?" Llusia walked in stoned faced at the smiling inner self smiled trying to lighten the mood. Llusia walked in soaking but unaware of her wet appearance as she was reminiscing the site of the battle "I kind of miss him..." her inner self sighed and patted her back before leaving her alone.

Another beer and Another beer, time was going pretty slowly and now there were a few more people sitting in the pub now, drinking, smiling, laughing, flirting. "Why don't people have better things to do with their lives? It's pathetic." He let out a sigh and leant his arm behind his head as he settled into the long window bench by the fiery hot radiator, no on ebothered to go near him and most people stayed out of his way. He sat with Kikenkaze and mumbled about the weather and where they'd rather be, "Okay, so if you had to choose between banging a fatty or licking the captain's face... What wou-" Masayoshi sank into the back of the bench as he laid the length of it; "EW! KIKENKAZE! STOP! *small pause* Kikenkaze... How the fuck are you my Zanpakuto? You have the filthiest most disgusting and disturbed mind i've ever met and for your information I would refuse both... Sicko." He shuddered and turned his head to see a young man talking to a young lady as they laughed and touched each others hands.

"Seriously, people need to not do this stuff in front of me it's just off putting." He let out a sigh and looked out the window into the rest of the nightlife section of the Mall to see groups chatting, couples making out, idiots downing drinks. "Why would anyone want to be human? It looks pretty damn shitty to me." He said sarcastically as he could hear some noises further down the complex, he heard some screams and moments later some police sirens as he began to push himself up and then slumped back down; "It's not my problem. If it's human on human, its not my jurisdiction." He grabbed his glass and took a large swig of ale before settling down once more.

He suddenly felt a vibration in his pocket as he pulled out the Soul phone to see a small beep within his vicinity, "You gotta be shitting me right?" He pushed himself up and hid his spiritual pressure before throwing some change on the bar and walking out, he was on the top level looking down into the ongoing crowds below wondering who, if any were an Arrancar. He put both elbows on the railings and looked over, appearing to be bored... In truth, he was.

[Llusia Domenech]

Llusia walked in the crowds of people keeping to herself and getting some looks at her wet clothes and her sword in hand. she really didn't care what these people thought of her, they could go fuck themselves for all she cared, just leave her alone and there won't be problems. Her inner self pranced around and looked into the pubs, stores, typical kiosks "Come on Llusia look at all this stuff...something has to cheer you up grumpy pants, lets turn that frown upside down" her inner self tried to move her mouth, only to get bitten "Please leave me alone, I seriously just want to be quite right no-" she looked up and choked almost "Oh fuck..." her inner self disappeared as Llusia pushed through the crowd and up the stairs. She arrived on the second floor and quickly looked around in a panic "Miss are you alr-" she pushed past him and ran to where she saw him, there was no way he was here, after all she had been through....But she was wrong. There he was standing stretching with that cute face of his and she lost it, she quickly came up behind him and hugged him, burying her face into his back and started crying a bit "Long time, no see, right Masa..." she cried/ laughed into his back and her inner self nearly tried to tackle her off him "YOU DUMBASS, HE HATES YOU STOP. LISTEN DAMMIT, LITTLE FUC-" she disappeared again and left Llusia alone, hugging to Masayoshi's back.

"Long time, no see, right Masa..." The words were like a deadly lullaby, his eyes dilated and his face became that of pure fear. Masayoshi didn't fear much but this voice was one of them as his body became rigid, hearing the voice laugh and cry as it spoke his name he couldn't rationalize what to do; "Kikenkaze... I... Can't move..." He was frozen in fear, one half just wanted to hug her back and other wanted to slit her throat. "Masa! Do something! Hurry!" Kikenkaze was screaming, tears flowing from her eyes in fear and frenzy.

He gasped for a moment and struggled to utter any words, "You... What... Do you think you're doing?" His voice was full of pain, anger, frustration and fear. He spun on his heel which resulted in knocking he hands off of him before putting his hand on her shoulder and pushing her hard against the wall he looked into her tearful eyes as his were sharpened and harsh, they had returned to their wolfish gray, his head dropped covering his eyes and most as his face, it full of pain and anxiety and he didn't want her to see it, "How can you come near me after what you did to me!" A single tear rolled down his face as he grip tightened slightly before pushing his hand off her and turning to leave, he clenched his fists as he began to walk away, for fear of what he may do but also because the pain of seeing her face again was like having his heart torn from his chest, his whole body shook with adrenaline as so many emotions pulsed through his mind in a matter of moments, his brain couldn't process what had just happened and he felt like he was going mad.

[Llusia Domenech]

Llusia felt herself get pushed back and she was stunned for a moment. She saw him walk away, fist balled "Just leave it Llusia, he doesn't like you anymore, please lets just go, please please please..." she tried to push Llusia back but she just walked through her, and grabbed His hand "Masa...just please wait and let me talk, give me like 30 seconds please" she pulled him closer and grabbed his face with her two hands "What you saw, it wasn't me, it was someone else that is like me, she is my...arrancar side. I tried to stop her, but she pushed me deeper and deeper inside myself, that I couldn't take control back, I never wanted to do that to you, it wasn't right and i'm sorry...for everything...damn looks like my 30 seconds are up, i'll catch you later Masa..." she gave a sad half smile and stood down from her tippy toes and turned to walk away.

She turned and began to walk and Masa was unsure of what to do, but he went with his gut instinct; "Wait... I deserve to know what the hell that was that attacked me and more about your past... You owe me that much... Llusia Domenech." He looked up and stared at her, his eyes still wolf like, his canines still slightly protruding but he was under control. He stood and released his fists and saw he was gripping so hard he had made his hands bleed slightly; "Why would you want to talk to her Masa? I know you want answers but aren't answers from a body crushed much easier... And safer?!" Kikenkaze was still a bit frantic and looked like an anxious child who had been told off.

"Stop worrying... If she really wanted me dead as she had before she could have driven that sword through my back and I wouldn't have known a damn thing... Plus I want to know what makes this girl tick." He took two steps forward and realized that no one else was on the upper balcony, the level they were on was clear, only the people below were shouting, partying and enjoying their drink but how little they knew, for two otherworldly beings were having an estranged discussion only a small distance away.
" Well? Tell me your story Llusia..."

[Llusia Domenech]

Llusia turned to him and thought for a moment "Seriously, Llusia, just walk away this can be avoided..." Llusia ignored her and leaned against the railing "How old do you think I am, masa?" she didn't turn around nor wait for his answer "I'm 600 years old Masa, 600 years old. I plenty older then you I think, but the reason I look so young is because I died at 17, by a someone who was close to my heart" she turned around and leaned "You see, a lot has happened to me in 617 years, a lot happened in my 17 years of life that I didn't even know until I was close to 300, and you know how betrayed i felt? Do you know what it feels like to find out the man you loved, the very man you thought was your only, your very father, was your brother, and that my mother didn't leave us, but died giving birth to me. My real father tried to help us, then ended up getting mugged, raped, hanged, stabbed and shot because the very thing he did to get us money" she boosted herself up and stood arms open on the bar.

She looked down at him "Masa, do you know what it feels like to have the boy you love, die because he tried to fight three men trying to rape me? To have that person die in your arms? Do you know how it feels to find out later that those three men raped you because the man you thought your father was stole from the wrong people? Do you know what it feels like to see your "father" come home with stab wounds and bruises and tell you everything is fine, then secretly watch him cry and drown himself in alcohol? I may not know your life Masa, but do you know what it feels like to come home, and watch your father stuff his manhood into your mouth? To have him drag you to a lake house and continue to rape you? burn you? Stab you? then Shot you? Masayoshi i may not know who you are, but believe me when I say I'm better off dead..." Her inner self went wide eye'd and tried to grab her "LLUSIA NOOO, DONT!" Llusia smiled and tears rolled down her cheek as she leaned back and falled back first towards the ground.

Masayoshi stood wide eyed in horror at what he had heard, it was true, his past was not pleasant and his life as a human was horrific, but to hear just some of Llusia's story made his sound slightly more appealing, he lost his voice and his mind went blank as he attempted to absorb the information he had just been told; "Masa... I don't know what to say... But I... Feel sorry for this girl, I don't want too but I do." Kikenkaze stood to the right of her master facing him as a single tear rolled down her face, she was not blocking his view of Llusia as she climbed the rails and stood facing him as she finished her story, tears streamed down her face and then she let go of the rail.

"No! Llusia!" Masayoshi sprung forward as he saw her disappear over the edge, his pupils sharpened, his voice bellowed like an anguished wolf as he lauched himself to her. Her face almost seemed at peace and calm, he too flung himself over using one arm to grip onto the rail and the other to just manage to clasp onto her forearm; "What the hell do you think you're doing Llusia?! How the hell am I supposed to forgive you if you're dead you asshole! Your life sounded horrible, mine was not much better, but make it worth living for now! Let me show you life can be better, LIVE! I cannot offer much, but I will give my all to make you happy if you will let me!" Masa screamed these words as he pulled with all of his might as he launched her up to his level and caught her with his arm around her waist; "Now get up onto that damn balcony before we end up in real shit... Please... Lucy" He gave a half smile, trying not to show his desperation for her to pull herself back onto the 2nd floor.

[Llusia Domenech]

Llusia went wide eye'd has he drove over the bar after her and caught her "What the hell do you think you're doing Llusia?! How the hell am I supposed to forgive you if you're dead you asshole! Your life sounded horrible, mine was not much better, but make it worth living for now! Let me show you life can be better, LIVE! I cannot offer much, but I will give my all to make you happy if you will let me!"  Llusia had tear in her eyes for his words and felt his arms around her waist keeping her up. She reached up and got up over the bar then helped him up "I...missed you Masa" she wrapped her arms around his back and pulled him into a hug and started flooding water from her eyes "Masa...Im so sorry, I never wanted to do that, i tried to stop myself but I couldn't I wasn't in control and I'm a bitch for doing that, I'm sorry for making your Zan spirit go through that and Im sorry for making her do that to you..." she cried in his chest.

Her inner self sighed and leaned against the bar "You know...you're a crazy ass bitch right? God what if he didn't catch you? But of course you wanted to die right? You understand I wouldn't have been able to live, you selfish ass...Now your all hugging on this boy, one day im going to shove my foot so far up your ass your gonna actually feel it" she slowly dissipated smiling at Llusia joy, which she had missed so much.

[Masayoshi Kasigawa]

Masayoshi stood for a moment and held the Arrancar, the girl who had thrust his own Zanpakuto into his chest as if nothing had happened, he didn't know why out of all the possible actions he could have took he jumped after her to save her except knowing that their first encounter, when she was just that sweet girl who had cuddled with him and smiled so bright. "I... Masa, I Don't know what we are going to do from here... I love you becuase you are my master and we are one... I just want you to know what it is you have gotten yourself into..." Kikenkaze looked confused and in shock as she sat with her back against one of the pillars that held the rail. "I don't know what will happen either Kikenkaze, I just know that I didn't want her to go, I did not want to lose her, much like you do not wish to lose me."

He looked down and pulled Llusia closer into his chest as she wept in her confession, "Hush now, you don't need to worry, as long as you don't try to kill me then we will be just fine... Just... Don't let that other side out again please!" Masayoshi gave a small laugh as he pressed his lips to her forehead and gently brushed the back of her hair with his hand. "My little Llusia..." He once again kissed her forehead before wrapping his arms around her and pulling her close and holding her tight for a moment and accepted the challenges and battles that may lay ahead of them.

[Marcelius]

(OoC: After his princess came home in tears from the first fight, there was literally no way in hell Marcelius was missing out on the next sojourner to Karakura. So, busting up into this Social, one hella concerned dad.)

Now this was a scene, which warped the very fabric of his dreams. A picture of a world he longed for, something on any other day he might seek. One of his precious ones, entwined in the warmth and love of another soul. Experiencing...living, true happiness. It was what he wanted for his children; it was what he desired for all his people. Seeing Llusia embraced as she was, wrapped in a gossamer of affection; why did it not bring him joy? Why was this union of Arrancar and Shinigami not soothing to his troubled old "heart"? Simple. This...was not what he wanted. This was a twisted, mirrored farce of his hopes. These two children...were mocking an ideal which Marcelius held in the same reverance as the gods. Real love.

Their sentiments were nothing more than a spark, barely formed in the dark uncertainty of the world. Regardless of the great number of years either of them may have lived, their minds were still as juveniles. Or...so Marc perceived them. To him, they were being taken by passions and confusion. They were slipping into madness, the both of them. And though his sympathies went out to the poor Death God, who has found himself in this odd plot...his real concerns belonged to Llusia. She was his daughter, she was cherished to him. Worse...she was already such a fragile soul. Resilient in form, but vulnerable in mind. So worried for her safety...so terrified for her sanity, he abandoned the trust he had allotted his young. He had followed her here, to the Human World; unable to trust her with her own safety.

After all, her façade was a mastered one...but was only smile deep. Yes, Llusia was a marvelous actress, but he was one she could never fool. No matter how much effort she put into her smile, he felt the pain buried underneath. He knew how her conscience had suffered, over the turmoil of recent days. He knew how she hated herself for her actions, regarding not one...but two Shinigami. Rather than wait for this new great affair to shatter her like the first. Rather than wait for her to crawl to him in pieces and shambles once more. Marcelius would treat this wound before it bled. That is what pushed him to pursue her in her trip...that is what brought him here now. It would seem...he arrived just in time.

"Your...little Llusia?" The tragic duo would feel their very bones tremor, as the depth of his voice shook the reiatsu around them. What made his words sound so loud...was the silence. Yes. Silence. All around them. As if the whole of the world was gone, and nothing but they remained. Silence brought about by one thing, exposure. That unnerving feeling of dread which corrupts the passengers of every death bed. Each of them would know this sensation well...having both felt the isolation of demise. That memory from their former life, if they could recall such a thing; this sensation of quiet was identical in every way. "How familiar of you..." The inflection in his tone, reflecting the most supreme echelons of cynicism. There were two great reasons for the sarcasm: Masayoshi's outrageous behavior, regarding Llusia in such a cozy fashion; and second, both of their foolish ideals of intimacy.

But his speech could only express so much...the rest required a more involved approach. "Please...step away from my daughter." Standing, looming over the two, was the towering visage of an elder Arrancar. Even with Masa's commendable height, especially for his heritage; this man looked down upon him. Where the boy was a warrior, trim and lean; this man was a brawler...broad in shoulders and chest. He appeared much like Llusia...a foreigner to this region. Hair a dirty blonde, which shimmered far too often in the light. Skin pale as the face of the moon, but wrinkled just enough to distinguish his great age. Oh, but the Shinigami would have no time to admire the marks of years.

For more noticeable than any other crease, was the furrow of his unamused brow. The look on his face seemed weary, and yet, Masayoshi would feel nothing but a stern, iron will. Perhaps most importantly -even more than his rigid glare- was the dark blue eyes...which clearly pierced into the young Reaper's soul. Even the densest of spirts can attest, to what Masa would feel. It was not simply a stare...no. This Arrancar was fixating on his very core. Even the spirit inside of him, that boisterous wolf, would feel the unease his attention bestowed. Ah, but what would the Shinigami see if he matched this oldster's glare? Nothing, but endless...hollow eyes.

But his focus was not meant for the young man, not for long. His real objective was far different. Far more valuable. "Llusia..." The father in him, was now an overwhelming aura of authority...which he dropped on her shoulders. The way he said her name, it would be a first for her. This attitude which he displayed, was nothing of his normal self. This Marc was an entity, completely separate from what she had known until now. In a way...this was his inner Hollow. His version of her Sadness Manifest. (The inner Llusia; which Marc believes to be her Aspect of Death embodied.) "Why?" The old man took a step, the weight of his spirit causing gravity to increase. His slow movements seemed slower, with the air crushing down from above. Still, he moved between them. Without fear, his back turned on Masa...once again, his objective was more important.

"Why were you going to jump?" He spoke again, softer now...no longer interested in everyone being able to hear. Standing, motionless; the senior Fraccion waited for her to look him in the eyes. She knew his question was rhetorical...she knew the answer was already shared with him. Yet he waited, needing her to look him in the eyes and tell him why. There was no escaping the inquisition. There was no evading the truth. All there was for her, was an honest answer...he left no other options. So she would speak, and he would listen. That's what father's were for...

[Llusia Domenech]

Llusia inner self went wide eye'd "Oh shit...Uh hey Mar-" her inner self shut up suddenly and disappeared "Father, I wouldn't have died, you're over reacting...plus why are you here?...Father you did not...MARCY! Why did you follow me, do your really think that i would be stupid enough to go off in die? do you really not have enough trust in me? Granted I shouldn't have been so extreme, but I knew Masa would catch me" she looked into her fathers eye's angry that he didn't have enough trust in her. She saw Masayoshi about to say something and she shook her head no "Im not done Masa, Marcy I know you can see through my sadness, but that is no reason to not trust your own daughter, I thought we've gone through this, yes i was hurt, yes i came home crying, but you dont need to follow me like im your little girl Marcy, I love you and you should know that, for fuck sakes Marcy I'm 600, I know what love is and I knew what I was doing, even if he hand't caught me I would have survived. Now tell me Im not ready, sure that's your fatherly instincts Marcy, but I genuinely like Masa, and you wont take that away from me if you want to see your daughter happy again" she got behind Marc and put her back to Masa, with her arms open wide.

The spiritual pressure was astounding, it erupted like a volcano around the area and it sent a chill down Masayoshi's spine as his pupils dilated. He turned his face to be met with the shape of an unknown individual who towered over Masa's height of 6"2', his body shape was much more like that of a cage fighter or a body builder, him and Masa were polar opposites in height, weight and body class. "This... Is a high class Arrancar, he's stronger than Llusia and he knows it... He must be at least the power level of a Lieutenant by what i can sense of his spiritual energy... Damn, this guy isn't messing around." Masayoshi adjusted his footing slightly as he heard Marc's voice; "Your...little Llusia?" His voice held such authority it was like a pressure all of its own, it was as if someone had put a giant speaker in front of him and hit the deepest bass note they could as the force ate at him.

Marc approached and looked into Masayoshi's eyes, he didn't know what was happening but he had the most peculiar sensations as if he was being explored in his mind to which he did not appreciate in the slightest, it was if his whole experience with Llusia was being put into film, he had the rush of his emotions from their first meeting of complete astonishment, to the pain if her betrayal, to the uncertainty and unknowing of why she had left him alive and finally the point of no return when she had thrown herself from the balcony rail and Masa had, with no second thoughts, jumped after her because in truth he did not want to let her go and most certainly intended her no arm. His feelings for her had not changed since the moment he met her when she mesmerized him. For some reason Kikenkaze was more active and almost felt uneasy as she whispered from her inner world; "Big brother... Who is this... I don't like how he's staring at us, he scares me big brother..." Kikenkaze clung to Masa in her inner world as Masa pushed his own spiritual pressure out, not as a sign of intimidation but merely as a sign of respect.

Their eyes were locked, wolf gray to blue as if it were a battle, neither back down and then without any notice he walked straight past him as if he was not even there, he approached Llusia and began to ask questions, to what end he was unsure but he knew the man was definitely a very worthy opponent and a confrontation would most certainly not be in Masa's best interests but he would protect Llusia if he was required too, after all it wasn't every day that an Arrancar and a Shinigami hold each other in a passionate embrace or show any form of positive emotions towards each other let alone caring for one another. Llusia was dwarfed by Marc's immense size as she confronted him and Masa could only look on in surprise as this tiny girl had spoken to this giant of a man like he was a child; "Father, I wouldn't have died, you're over reacting...plus why are you here?...Father you did not...MARCY! Why did you follow me, do your really think that i would be stupid enough to go off in die? do you really not have enough trust in me? Granted I shouldn't have been so extreme, but I knew Masa would catch me."

"Yes... Regardless of any outcome I would have saved you Llusia." He thought to himself as he looked on, he too wanted too speak his mind as he opened his mouth he was silenced instantly once again by the tiny Arrancar; "Im not done Masa" Masa snapped back a little bit and let a bead of sweat run down his face, not wanting to piss off the feisty Arranar. "Marcy I know you can see through my sadness, but that is no reason to not trust your own daughter, I thought we've gone through this, yes I was hurt, yes I came home crying, but you dont need to follow me like im your little girl Marcy, I love you and you should know that, for fuck sakes Marcy I'm 600, I know what love is and I knew what I was doing, even if he hand't caught me I would have survived. Now tell me Im not ready, sure that's your fatherly instincts Marcy, but I genuinely like Masa, and you wont take that away from me if you want to see your daughter happy again." Suddenly she was stood in front of Masa, her back to him and arms spread as if shielding him, Masa's eyes widened in disbelief and he gasped as he could not find the words to express what this meant to him.

"Llusia..." He whispered as he took a few steps forward, his eyes fixed upon Marc as he laid his hand on Llusia's shoulder and lowered her arm slowly, "It's alright... If this is your father then I can understand his concern as my superiors did not wish me to come back alone but as I demanded as a 3rd Seat of Squad 11 they accepted my terms... He was, i'm sure thinking only of you." Masa gave her a soft but solemn smile as he fixed his eyes upon Marc, making distinct eye contact once again willing him to look probe his eyes once more. "Know this, I respect your daughter a great deal and you have raised a beautiful if not extremely deadly young woman. She ran me so far into the ground and even beat me to shit... I didn't know how I would react to such things, I was bitter when i returned home... But when I saw her again I could not deny that my feelings towards her were true, not some feeble toy or mindless gesture, I hold your daughter in the highest of regards and I can tell by your power level that you are not someone with whom to cross blades lightly... Know this however... My feelings towards Llusia go beyond that of Shinigami and Arrancar, beyond friend and foe... She is who she is and regardless of her past or mine I will protect her with my life against any foe, foreign... Or domestic." He emphasised these last words, he had wanted to say this to Llusia for so long, but explaining his feelings to her father seemed just as good a time as any, "I don't know if you can read my eyes or not, but I refuse to let her go.. She has been my first thought and last though every day since the day I met her and I refuse to let that go god dammit, so just know I will fight for what we have if it should come to that... I would hope for her sake that it would not come to that, Marc... I will protect her with my life." In this last moment he gave a sudden burst of his full spirit energy then reeled it back in to show what force he was willing to use to protect this man's daughter. Masayoshi loosened his stance to a relaxed pose and took a few steps forward till the great shadow of the arrancar towered over him as he held his hand out firmly, not a single shake or movement left his body for all intent and purposes Masa had become a statue, "My name is Masayoshi Kasigawa, I am the 3rd Seat of Squad 11... I'm pleased to make your acquaintance."
