Didn't take Jason long to tell Rin of Shinji's proposal of a truce

Hell, Jason knew Rin would accept she was close with practically all of the Visored before their exile from the soul society

"That's the gist Captain what's the play?"

Rin hmms to Jason's question,'What can I do?'

Rin ponders for a moment before announcing, "Jason tell Akari were both going to the world of the living."

Jason blinks. "Akari?" At Rins nod, Jason exits the room to find Akari

Rin stands from her desk and looks over a collection of photos each had a member of the soul society on it

However, the one she was looking for held herself situated in between the Visored group as a whole

Her academy clothes are prevalent in the various Captain and lieutenant garbs the others held

They were all smiling

Rin let a smile show on her face.'I had just passed an important exam if I recall, and Shinji was just passing by'

"You wanted to see me, Captain?" Rin smirks 'perfect timing,' she turns

"Yes, we're both going to the world of the living to broker a truce." Akari nods, " a truce?"

Rin walks past her, and Akari follows. " I'll explain on the way there we need to pass by Uraharas shop either way."

Akari nods, and both walk to the Senkaimon gate outside their barracks

"You the new member? From squad 13?" Jason asks a man in front of him

He nods. " Indeed, first seat, my name is Akira Kurusu. Captain Ukitake said Lady Rin requested my presence."

Jason nods. 'This guy is suppressing his Reiatsu well.' Well, if it weren't for Rin's Reiatsu training, I wouldn't notice that he has Captain-level Reiatsu'

"She did.....First, your Reiatsu level is of Captain level," akiras eyes widen. " I think your mista-"

Jason holds his hand out, stopping him mid-sentence. " Akira, we don't care about that. All we care about is your dedication to the soul society."

Akira sighs he runs a hand through his hair and grabs the broken necklace on his neck

"Nice necklace" Akira looks up and his eyes widen. " Jason, that necklace...."

Jason nods. " Everyone in squad X has the same broken necklace, even Lady Rin."

Akira nods. " What were we then?" Jason smiles " Quincys"

"Akari! Don't hold back! Ichigo won't!" Akari grunts as she blocks a strike from the substitute soul reaper he had a hollow mask on, and so did Akari

Hers was similar to Lisa's Hollow mask but was different in key areas

Firstly, it looked more Oni-like than hers, and two, it had green lines flowing down the eye sockets

Her mask dissolves, and she hits the ground very hard

Akari grunts as she gets up. "Damn Captain, it's like fighting Jason at full power."

Rin nods. " Ichigo is strong, and he's continually growing to gain power.....this training Helps both him and you regarding your inner hollows "

Akari nods and looks at Ichigo she lifts her hand to her face and grips across

Her hollow mask reformed. "Let's continue Ichigo!" Ichigo grins and does the same thing his mask reforms as both charge each other

Rin smirks 'Perfect only an Hour has passed and Akari can hold the mask for fifteen seconds and Ichigo fourteen '

"Rin, let's begin your suppression." Rin turns to shinji and nods

He shouts, "Oi Ichigo! Keep at it with Akari. The others are gonna show Rin the process!"

Ichigo dodges Akari's strike and nods before blocking a strike from Akari proper

He glances as he sees Rin enter a deeper section of this underground training ground

"Hey, Ichigo, you alright?" Ichigo snaps out of his thoughts and looks at Akari

"Sorry, I'm just worried about the captain....." Akari nods." Lary Rin is strong, perhaps stronger than the Hollow inside. "

Ichigo hmms " Hey Akari, what's your inner hollow like?" This question makes Akari blink in surprise

"Well, she's......intriguing to say the least... she wants me to be strong but wants control of my soul. "

Ichigo nods. " it's true for me as well." Akari hmms. " Well, then, let's continue fifteen seconds is good, but let's push for one minute."

Ichigo nods. " I was thinking the same thing...Akari, enter your Shikai state."

She nods and points her blade at Ichigo

"Unleash......Starkiller!" Her body glows before she gains an outfit similar to Ichigo's Bankai state alongside two red reishi blades in the place of her normal Zanpakuto

She grips and pulls her mask on and charges Ichigo, who barely places his on before blocking Akari's attack head on

They remain still before pushing their zanpakutos to gain an edge over one another but only manage to hold each other back

Ichigo suddenly backs off and shouts, " Getsuga...TENSHO!"

The black and red energy shoots towards Akari, who remains still before she slices the attack in half

She looks up and blocks a strike from Ichigo whose mask while gone showed his excitement

He was grinning. " Akari, it's been a minute."

She exits the block and feels the mask disappear she lets a smile out. " Nice, and your mask lasted for longer as well..... fifty-eight seconds well done Ichigo"

He blinks before laughing. " The captains gonna love the news!"

Akari blinks before laughing alongside him "HAHAHA Your right!"

"Oi Ichigo.....Akari, who said you can stop? Rin's already got three minutes down!"

Both blink before both shout, "HUH?!/ YOUR SERIOUS?!"

(HUECO MUNDO)

A young man walks down a white corridor

Damien had suffered a death he considered to be inevitable

He let himself be consumed by Vengeance that he didn't see his former squadmates happy

He saw only soul reapers

'Lady Rize If we meet again, I will swear myself to your service'

" Ah, Damien lord Aizen was looking for you." He turns to see a friendly face, " Ah, gin my thanks."

The former soul reaper just chuckles and leaves the former Quincy alone

Damien stares at the man.' He's an odd one, but if I recall, he found me in the desert

A growl causes Damien to turn around. " Oh! Forgive me!" He bows and watches the monster walk away

He turns around and grips the broken Quincy necklace on his neck,'Lady Rize Be safe'
