Type: Joint-Training
Location: Hospital in Karakura Town
Special Conditions: None
Setting: Asmoskon has managed to with the help of Hotaru make it to the hospital located in Karakura Town. Immediately after arriving Asmoskon was rushed to surgery which has now been going on for roughly six hours. It will take some time for Asmoskon to recover and while normally Xcution would like to handle one of its finest weapons they are currently unaware of his location. The true question is how with the newly reunited couple react to one another after everything that's happened.

---

Asmoskon at the moment was unconscious having been sedated for the surgery that he had just went through at the hands of half a dozen doctors. It had been six long hours and Asmoskon had for the first time in a few weeks actually been unconscious for that amount of time. What he didn't like was that when he actually got to the hospital the doctors and nurses had seen his injuries and rushed him into surgery. Giving him little to no time to actually speak with Hotaru. He hadn't had much time to do anything as he was sedated right laying down on the scaffold.

Right now the surgery had just finished and Asmoskon was being brought to his hospital room where he was apparently going to stay for the next two week minimum. While he was still unconscious and had no way of knowing this himself a nurse had gone through the walking area asking if anyone was here for him. Stating only his last name for he hadn't given out his first prior to being rushed away. There would be only one person there that would be able to claim such a thing in truth. Hotaru would be able to visit his room if she wised or find out what room he was staying in.

Asmoskon lay in the hospital bed for roughly an hour in the clean gown that they had put over him. The clothing that he normally wore was located in a plastic bag at the floor. Inside the bag was also the black cross that many would believe to be a religious symbol of his faith when it fact it was his Quincy cross. His body had multiple sections were cuts had now been stitched up close. The wound of the side of his chest where Hotaru had accidentally stabbed him was slightly less discolored from treatment. The major thing was that the black eye patch was off his face and only a small white one that someone would receive from an eye injury to keep them from using it was over his eye. Whatever the case he was at the moment asleep.

[Hotaru Kuchiki-Masurao]

OOC: Training for Ryo

Hotaru was able to barely get him to a hospital before he collapsed. The only thing he said was his last name before he got carted away. Her eyes were filled with tears, but she knew that she needed to be there when he was out of surgery. So, she immediately went back to Soul Society and grabbed her Gigai out of her closet. She wanted to physically be there for him. She then ran back to the hospital and waited. She walked up to the nurse's station and asked about the man named Masurao that was here. She just told her that he was in surgery and to wait.

So, she did. She was worried sick about him. She knew that he was in bad condition, but she just hoped he would get better. She read a few 'magazines' but that didn't last long. She was too worried and the reading didn't distract her enough from that worry to even help her. So, she just sat and waited, watching the humans go about their business, not even knowing the dangers that they lived with that they couldn't see. She thought back on their relationship together, her and Asmoskon. It was great until the horrible rock that had divided them for six months.

But now, they were back together. She just hoped they could talk through things and get back to the way they were, or close to the way they were. Finally, after what seemed like forever, a nurse called for Masurao. Hotaru immediately got up and the nurse walked over to him. The nurse told her that he was now stable and that his injuries were fixed. He just had to stay here for two weeks to heal and then he was ready to go. She thanked the nurse and she guided him to his room. She typed the room number down in her phone and saved it.

She then walked in the room. Thankfully, he wasn't hooked up to a lot of machines. He was definitely asleep, since she could see the rise and fall of his chest. She walked slowly towards him, looking over all the bandages. His eye injury stood out on his face. She lightly touched the cover over his eye and then lightly touched his body. So much about him had changed, but then, a lot had stayed the same. He grew up more, was taller and more fit, but his personality that she fell in love with was the same. She sat by his bed, grabbed one of his hands and scooted close. She rubbed his hand with her left while her right hand lightly brushed through his hair. "Oh my love, what have I done to you?"

[✠Asmoskon Masurao✠]

Layer there unconscious as the day continued onwards and Hotaru stayed in his hospital room Asmoskon began to dream of everything. For the most part the dream was simply what he would do on a normal day. Shooting, shooting and more shooting. Practice over and over until his hands would bleed and even after that he would continue knowing that he could never allow someone to surpass him at wielding a bow. He was the greatest archer in any of the worlds and to hell with anyone who would try to claim that title from him. That was when a familiar reiatsu entered the hospital and Asmoskon began to shifted from side to side and his brow tightened in dismay.

It would look as if Asmoskon was having some type of nightmare and he was trying to fend something or someone off in his dream. It last for a few moments until his left eye opened and he sprung upwards unsure of where he was. The injured man actually rolled forwards over the bed and then onto the ground. On his feet yet bent downwards at the foot of the bed he looked around it at the doorway. He was so caught off guard that he didn't even realize Hotaru was right in front of him. It took him a moment to actually realize that and when he did he stood up and took a deep breathe. "Hotaru . . I thought you'd be in Soul Society right now."

Asmoskon lacked any kind of skill in energy sensory and due to that he was unable to actually tell that the reiatsu that entered the hospital was the person he had been dealing with in his dream. That person was in the hospital right now and was looking for him. Asmoskon wouldn't be able to tell though and that was the major problem. He grinned at Hotaru after a moment and then looked over his body and saw that some of the stitching had just been disturbed by his movement. He slowly sat down at the foot of the bed and then laid back down on it knowing his body would need rest at this stage more then anything else. "I'm glad you're here firefly."

[Hotaru Kuchiki-Masurao]

Hotaru watched the emotions that played across his face while he was sleeping. It looked like he was in pain and it made her feel worse. Then, suddenly, his left eye open and he came to his feet. Hotaru quickly moved her hands away to not hurt him anymore. He quickly rolled off the bed and stood, looking towards the doorway for something. She looked at his stitches and they were protesting to his sudden movement. He took a deep breath and looked at her, finally realizing she was there. He figured that she would be in Soul Society.

Hotaru smiled at him. She waited until he laid back down on the bed and then put her right hand back in his hair, trying to soothe him a little bit. She didn't know if she had the right, but when he said that he was glad that she was here for him, she teared up a little bit. She looked down at him and smiled. "Are you sure? It was because of my action that led to all of the pain that you're going through right now. I feel like that if it wasn't for me, you might be a little better off than you are now. I don't want to cause you anymore pain."

[✠Asmoskon Masurao✠]

Asmoskon kept laying down on the bed even after Hotaru had placed her hand on his head and began to move her fingers through his hair. That was something that he had actually forgotten she did not that it was bad or something he didn't like it just wasn't something he was used too anymore. While the two of them had been apart Asmoskon had become very harsh and cold towards most others and while that hadn't stopped him from engaging in physical relations with females none of them had ever done what Hotaru was doing. In fact when anything had touched his hair it had been from them pulling on it now simply feeling the thick softness it held.

What she said though made Asmoskon realize that Hotaru of course was clinging to all of the bad things that had happened in the last year. He leaned forwards while moving his butt back in order to sit up straight and look to the side so he could stare into her eyes while he spoke. He wanted to get his point across now that it didn't seem like he was in any true danger of dying. "Everything that happened is in the past. A past of hardship is only good for building strength Hotaru. I'm not the one who should be able to say it, but don't remember this only the bad. Think of the good that we share and the happiness that we had."

"It won't take long for us to reclaim what we had of that I have no doubt. I just want to start fresh and start moving forward and not care of about these last six months." Asmoskon stopped speaking for a moment while he brought his left hand upwards and touched Hotaru's cheek. If she hadn't noticed it during their fight she would now. Asmoskon's left hand down to his elbow was covered by a black glove with red lines. Even the doctors had been powerless to remove it from his body lucky that part had not sustained injury. "I'm sorry for hurting you and hurting Ryu."

[Hotaru Kuchiki-Masurao]

Hotaru listened intently to what her love was saying. It was everything she was hoping to hear from him. He said to not only remember the bad, she needed to remember the good that they had. What was bad was in the past, which would help build them to be stronger for the future. He then told her that he doesn't doubt that they will be just like they were six months ago in a very short amount of time, which she nodded to. He wanted to start fresh and move forward, and she wanted the exact same thing. She smiled at him and then noticed something.

He was moving his left hand towards her and she saw that he was wearing a black glove with red lines. She was curious about it but when he touched Hotaru's cheek with his hand, she pressed her cheek into it, closing her eyes and savoring the feel of his hand against her. She put both of her hands on his, to keep it there so it wouldn't leave her too soon. When he apologized, her tears started to overflow. She didn't think that he had any reason to apologize, but she let him. "I'm sorry for hurting you, my love. I had no intention of doing so. Just....please don't leave again. I don't think I could take it."

[✠Asmoskon Masurao✠]

Asmoskon smiled widely as Hotaru brought her own hands up to meet his and kept his hand against her cheek. He could see that him being away and everything else had caused her a grand deal of duress as well. It was something that he really didn't want to happen again so he was going to do whatever he could to make sure it never did. He had something special with her and even with everything that had happened he couldn't have ever doubted that even in the middle of it. Now he just had to work on reclaiming the intense connection between them that they once shared together.

"Well now isn't this a surprise. I wasn't aware that you kept one of your whores by your side at all times Renegade." Asmoskon turned his head over his body tensing up as a giant of a man stepped into the room. He had dark black hair which was kept somewhat messy yet was wearing all white. By his uniform it was obvious that this man was a Vandenreich. The man was easily over six and a half feet taller than Asmoskon himself and far bigger then Hotaru. He walked in with his hands in his pockets like a slacked attitude as he grinned devilishly over at Asmoskon.

"You speak again or stay here another moment Hagar and I'll kill you. Leave now and I'll spare your life again." Asmoskon had a cold look of steel and anger towards his man as he spoke. He just kept his eyes locked on him now with his hands at his sides ready to react as best he could in his current condition. "Well honestly I don't really think I have to fear you considering how injured you seem to be. It's time I kill you and take my brother back you Renegade scum bag." In that moment a shotgun materialized in his right hand.

[Hotaru Kuchiki-Masurao]

Hotaru smiled back at Asmoskon. It was nice to see on his face that he was feeling the same as her. He truly wanted the connection that they had before and honestly, she still felt it. Even though they had went through much hardship, she still felt the same pull towards him that she had before everything happened. She still felt the need to be close to him and she planned on never leaving his sight again. Though, she hoped that he had still felt the connection that she was feeling right now.

It was then that she felt a weird reiatsu signature come towards the room and when the man entered, she knew there was something off about him. She turned towards him and released Asmoskon's hand. The man spoke, pretty much saying that she was a whore. Hotaru glared at the man and let her reiatsu flare in the room. She would NOT be called a whore by two different people. Manami was the only other person to call her that and Hotaru was pretty sure that she didn't look like a lady of the night.

Asmoskon threatened the man, but this new man was right, Asmoskon was injured badly. He shouldn't be fighting at all. So, while the man talked, Hotaru took her Pill, letting the Mod Soul inside take control of her Gigai while she was released. The Mod Soul ran to the corner, as far away as she could get, knowing that Hotaru wouldn't want her Gigai to leave the room just to go back in. This would be the first time Asmoskon would see her in her new rank. When she released from the Gigai, it should be one of the first things he would notice.

A white Captain's Haori was now billowing behind her, purple detailing instead of black, with the number 10 on her back. She had liked the detailing, though she was still trying to figure out if any other details were needed with it. She stood there, letting her reiatsu now come back down, unsheathing her sword. "I am no whore. I am Hotaru Kuchiki, Captain of the Tenth Division of the Gotei Thirteen. You better listen to the man, or I will deal with you myself."

[✠Asmoskon Masurao✠]

Asmoskon sat still for the time being knowing that moving at the normal speeds he sought to use during combat would definitely open up his wounds. When Hotaru took the pill and got out of her gaiga Asmoskon immediately noticed that she had obtained a high ranking in Soul Society. Not just a high ranking though she had moved up from her former position as a Vice Captain to now a full fledged captain. When she spoke he learned that she had gained the position over the tenth squad in the Shinigami squad positions. It was something that he could expect from her and he was glad she had been able to achieve it.

Her address wasn't enough to scare the Vandenreich Quincy away not from getting a chance to kill Asmoskon. So as soon as Hotaru was about done addressing him and stating her title the man rushed forwards right at Hotaru. He moved at a speed that surpassed Hotaru's as he utilized Movement to increase his own speed yet as he did so he brought up his shotgun held with both his hands on the sides and attempted to bash her face with the side of it. Whether successful or if she dodged the man spun around clockwise and moved his hand downwards to the trigger. Took aim and fired planning that the large slug of a reiatsu bullet would hit Hotaru.

[Hotaru Kuchiki-Masurao]

Hotaru was starting her little speech. Her hand went straight to the hilt of her zanpaktou, knowing that the man probably wouldn't listen to her. It was a sad state, but some people just don't want to listen to reason. She saw him come straight at her and she unsheathed her zanpaktou at full speed, keeping the blade pointed out, but the actual zanpaktou horizontal across her body. It was a good stance so she could be reactive in whatever way he wanted to hit her. His speed was impressive, but so was hers. She was not someone to take lightly, at least not anymore.

When he appeared again, her instincts kicked in. Since he was coming for the right side of her face, her instinct was to bring her zanpaktou up to protect her face. She did so, hoping that she was successful. If she was, her blade would clash with the butt of the gun, trying her best to slash it in half. With both of his hands occupied, she would move her left hand towards his stomach and use the Tsuba technique to stab him in the stomach. She didn't want to kill the man, but she would not let this man kill her Quincy.

If she was too slow, she would move her body to the left in a side step, keeping the blade up to divert its path. Only if she was too slow and he had the time to pull the trigger, she would Shunpo behind him. When she would appear, she would immediately point her sword out to his back, which would take less than a second since it was already outstretched. She would have her other palm outwards facing him, the Tsuba technique already out, poking him in the back with her second blade. All she had to do was think and her second blade would skewer him. He was in a rough spot now.

OOC: I will do the reiatsu costs once I figure out which scenario works out.

[✠Asmoskon Masurao✠]

Hagar had his eyes set on killing Asmoskon here and now and the only thing in his way right now was this Shinigami who seemed to be one of the Captains. All the more reason to just kill her here and now. Get rid of two problems in a single trip that was all there was too it. So as he got right to the Shinigami and moved trying to smack her head with the shotgun she saw that she drew her zanpakuto and clashed against his hit. Her body gave way a fair amount and with that he could tell that he was much stronger then she. That was when he saw that her left hand was moving downwards and as that happened he jumped backwards just in time that the blood blade missed his chest.

As Hagar moved backwards his left hand moved into his pocket and his clenched hand was moved out of the pocket. In the next moment when Hotaru moved to the side his shotgun all of a sudden disappeared. He dropped something from his hand onto the floor which moved right towards Hotaru and then disappeared. "The judgment of blades is unopposed. Those within be cast aside by the power of the seven executioners." Just like that the ginto that Hagar had been holding in his hand disappeared and in the next moment a silver coffin enclosed around Hotaru at a speed of 1,000 making it nearly impossible for her to evade.

She would just see the inside of the silver coffin and then in the next moment seven silver swords materialized from nothingness around the coffin which then rushed at the coffin ready to pierce through and kill this captain of the Shinigami. The swords penetrated through the coffin yet just as they were about to stab into Hotaru they stopped and began to shake. There wouldn't seem to be any reason to Hotaru nor Hagar. That was when the coffin suddenly shattered into thousands of tiny pieces along with the swords. Both of them would then hear the sound of Asmoskon breathing heavily. Hotaru would be the one more then likely to look closely, but she would see him leaning forwards with his right hand held out at her sweat dripping off his face which was now dark red as he breathed heavily.

"Well it looks like he could have still taken me out with that blasted secret ability if he wasn't protecting someone. It's so random Asmoskon truly. You're not the kind of man to care about anyone, but yourself and all your self proclaimed vengeance. This will surely make for a good story the Emperor will be pleased to know you're finally out of the picture." Hagar grinned widely as he turned back to Hotaru. "Smite the Enemy with hollow steel." Two long katana's materialized in Hagar's hands as he grinned at Hotaru ready to clash with her now that he knew her strength.

[Hotaru Kuchiki-Masurao]

Hotaru was successful in blocking the shotgun, but sadly her first little trick against this man didn't work as well as she thought it would. The man jumped backwards, but she knew that the blade could extend out farther. So, since the man didn't jump back that far and he was still within three feet of her, she kept the blade active and extended it out to the full three feet. She was aiming it for the middle of his body mass, which would be either chest or stomach. She did this while he jumped back so when he landed, the blade would come at him.

If it hit him or not, it would disappear after that action, leaving her left hand fairly sore. She was moving back into her normal stance when she noticed that the Quincy had dropped something. It seemed to disappear soon after, so she thought it was a trick of her mind. But, when he started to say the incantation, she knew that he was doing some weird Quincy technique. She kept her eyes open but what happened next was so quick, even she couldn't react. She was completely surrounded by what looked like a silver coffin.

Once she was inside, she tried pushing on the sides to no avail. She had no idea what this technique was, but she definitely didn't like it. Then, almost immediately after the coffin appeared, she saw swords pierce the sides. She tried to stay calm and stay in the center of the coffin but something happened. The swords stopped and started to shake. Hotaru got confused, but once the coffin shattered, she knew who was behind it. It was her love, destroying the technique so she wouldn't get hurt. She smiled towards him then glared at the man.

She was getting tired of just seeing this man. Her love was finally awake and she wanted to spend time with him, not have to deal with this idiot. So, she stood her ground, staring the man down. She was going to wait before she attacked. Right after he spoke, she did. "I'm getting tired of dealing with you, whoever you are. You will not kill Asmoskon while I'm here and if you keep going, I will make sure this fight ends swiftly. Don't make me release my full power against a weakling like you."

OOC: Remaining Reiatsu: 2950/3000 -50 for Tsuba

[✠Asmoskon Masurao✠]

Sitting in the bed breathing heavily sweet dripping off his body onto the white sheets. Asmoskon was all, but powerless now to really help Hotaru. He had been at a lose of openings available without utilizing his secret technique while increasing his own power by activating Willpower gate. The amount of stress that it placed on his body while normally a fair deal draining at this moment was like having almost every bit of energy zapped from his body. He was struggling just to stay upright and keep his eye on Hotaru while she hopefully finished off Hagar.

The crimson blade that Hotaru had created had somehow managed to continue further back then Hagar had thought possible and only at the last second prior to it hitting him did he realized what he had to do in order to still kill Asmoskon. The red lines of his veins appeared on his chest then over his body as he active Blut in order to make the crimson blade stop at the surface of his skin. Hagar watched as the silver coffin enveloped around Hotaru with a grin on his face ready to watch the blood pour out from below the coffin. What he saw though made him furious.

While Hotaru spoke warning Hagar that if he didn't leave now he was going to be killed he just stood there his face engulfed with rage. His gaze shifted from facing Hotaru over to Asmoskon. "After I kill this whore of yours I'm killing you slowly." In the next moment his reiatsu signature would fade and a blinding flash of white overflowed the area. When it died away Hagar stood at his normal massive height in a giant suit of white armor with a massive axe in his right hand.

In the next moment Hagar rushed Hotaru holding his horizontally across his body ready to bring it across at her waist height and cut her clean in half. He was incredible strong now hardly anything was going to stop him. He was lost in his fury and he wanted nothing more than to kill both of these individuals now. Hotaru was going to have to deal with him while in Vollstandig and the way that it looked like she would have to do so without Asmoskon's aid.

[Hotaru Kuchiki-Masurao]

Hotaru glared at the man, thinking on what she could do next. He was strong, but she wanted to end this quickly. She hoped that her talk would do something to the man, but it obviously didn't. This man was out to get both of them, but she wouldn't let him touch Asmoskon. While he made his statement, she silently released her Shikai. Being the rank of a Captain, it gave her the ability to unlock her Shikai without actually saying the release phrase out loud. It gave her a bit of an edge in battle, as long as the other person didn't know about it.

So, her sword was releasing while the blinding white light engulfed the room. She raised her right arm up to shield her eyes. When the light was gone, the man was covered in armor and carrying an axe. She moved her arm down and her sword was now in Shikai. Thankfully, his transformation gave her enough time for her sword to release to its first level. Once the cannon had formed, she immediately pointed it down to the ground, letting her liquid leak out on the ground around her. She figured that the man was going to charge her.

She was correct, and he charged. She held her blade up, pointing at him. She looked at him and tried to figure out the best way to defeat him. She saw him coming towards her, so she made her cannon pump out her liquid full blast, covering a good portion of the floor around her in the liquid. So, once she saw him hit her liquid, she used Shunpo to get away, moving right next to Asmoskon, igniting the liquid as she went. So, once she appeared, the area that was covered with the liquid was engulfed in flames, hoping to hit the man with her fire.

[✠Asmoskon Masurao✠]

Well it seemed that Hagar had underestimated Hotaru's ability as a Shinigami. Even though now he had activated Vollstandig and was more powerful then he could be at any other time or through any other method that he knew of he had only thought of brute force and not strategy. He was consumed by his need to kill Asmoskon and while Hotaru had been drenching the floor in her liquid Hagar had made a decision. Why was he going to fight this girl when Asmoskon was laying in the hospital bed right there and he could just rush him and take him out and then deal with the Shinigami.

So that had been his decision. Hagar had rushed after seeing that the floor was being covered by what looked like water. As he was just about to leap off his feet though and cut Asmoskon in half the liquid ignited and Hagar's feet were caught on fire. The massive Quincy was caught off guard by the pain he was feeling and as that occurred it caused him to scream out loudly in pain. Asmoskon had been drifting slowly into unconsciousness after utilizing whatever technique he had done to save Hotaru a moment ago from the ginto technique, but due to the scream his eyes shot open.

Asmoskon saw the massive axe coming towards him and by instinct his right hand rushed upwards and swung to the left. Hotaru would more then likely be watching, but yet again wouldn't understand what she actually saw. Asmoskon utilized the same technique that he had done to save Hotaru yet this time she would actually be able to see Asmoskon as he did it. All she saw though was his arm move to the side and then Hagar would suddenly be moved through the room by her and out the hospital window.

Hagar had been caught off guard enough for the time being and now was laying on the ground his feet still burning and his body injured. He had just somehow been thrown from that damned room and he knew that the fall had broken a few of his bones. He had to get out of here and get reinforcements it seemed if the Vandenreich were truly going to be rid of Asmoskon and this damned Shinigami that was guarding him. So after a few moment Hagar vanished from the scene leaving Asmoskon and Hotaru by themselves once again.

Asmoskon dropped to the pillow on his bed breathing heavily his face dark red as sweat ran down his face. His vision was fogged and he was having difficulty staying awake. He had gone and done something he promised himself upon creating the technique he would never do. He had no choice however human instinct and reflex was instilled inside of him like all others and that simply reaction had led to this. The only good thing was that they were safe for the time being and he wasn't bleeding internally since he had barely moved. "Are . . you ok . . Hotaru?"
