[Voice, since coordination is not Kuukaku's strong suit right now. Also because Szayel cut her hair and she feels really weird.]

[Filtered to Ganju, Isshin, Ichigo, and Renji.]

I should set you all on fire.

What were you thinking?! Going into that bastard's turf like that? You guys could've...you guys could've gotten really hurt. You guys got things more important than me to worry about, damnit!

[Filtered to Unohana-taichou]

So when am I free to get out of here and go home?

[Filtered to the Twins.]

I'm back in Seireitei and alright, I'll be home whenever I'm allowed to leave the Fourth, and after some business is taken care of.

[Filtered to Ukitake-soutaichou]

I...need to talk to you.  I saw some things that I think you need to know about.

[Filtered to Friends, Family, and Cool People.]

So, who's interested in a pair of these...things? And this thing?

Hou, those are pretty... I'm not so sure they'd look good on me, though! Where did you find them?

Re: Last Filter

[shiba-explosion.livejournal.com]

...Szayel dressed me up in them. The freak. Said I "wasn't feminine enough".

Asshole.

[leekspins]

Oh...?

Maybe you could make them explode in fire, then?

Re: Last Filter

[shiba-explosion.livejournal.com]

Considering, but I'm not much for kidou right now.

[leekspins]

What about Renji-kun, then? It would be good practice for him, and if he can take out eyebrows, a dress and shoes should be no problem!

[howls-at-stars.livejournal.com]

Oh, not you too... Gimme a break, you guys.

[leekspins]

You want to though, ne?

[howls-at-stars.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah, sure, sure, I'll incinerate the thing. Just say the word, Kuukaku.

Re: Last Filter

[shiba-explosion.livejournal.com]

When I get outta here. Wanna see how well you've come along in your practice.

[howls-at-stars.livejournal.com]

Ten four! I think you might be impressed!

Re: Last Filter

I better be or its back to the Hainawas for you, buddy.

Re: Last Filter

[There's a long pause before a faint snickering.]

Depends, can we find a big enough space in Seireitei for him to use kidou safely without taking buildings with him?

Last Filter

[howls-at-stars.livejournal.com]

Don't you sass me.

[that other filter]
And I'll come rescue you if I damn well wanna come rescue you. I can't let that creeper just have his way with my sensei, after all; what kind'a jerk would that make me?

Re: Last Filter

[shiba-explosion.livejournal.com]

I will sass your face off if I wanna.

[Private Filter]

I'm only your sensei, but you're a goddamned captain. You got a division that needs ya more than you need me. I'm just an exiled noble that knows some kidou.

Not coming for me would've made you a smart guy. Bending backwards for that asshole is the last thing you should've done.

Filter

[howls-at-stars.livejournal.com]

Fine, would it help if I said we were coming to get our fallen divisionmates? I can't speak for the others, but I was planning to go whether you were there or not. Your being there just sealed the deal.

And there's no 'only' about it. You're family to Ichigo, and he's family to me, and that makes you family by proxy. Sorry, you're stuck with me.

Re: Filter

[shiba-explosion.livejournal.com]

[Exaggerated sigh.]

Great, another birthday I gotta remember.

Fine, I can accept that you had other business with him. But...hell! You know that he used me to make you guys jump to his beck and call. Fucking ass, hate that he used me to get to you like that.

Filter

[howls-at-stars.livejournal.com]

He'll get what's coming to him. I'm planning to make sure of it. So don't sweat it; his luck will run out soon enough.

Re: Filter

[shiba-explosion.livejournal.com]

Asshole's gonna burn, one way or the other.

So how deep in the shit hole are you?

Filter

[howls-at-stars.livejournal.com]

'Bout as deep as the sewers. Cleaning them, that is. Ukitake-soutaichou's a good guy; I think the only reason he really punished us at all is cuz he was kinda obligated to. S'a tough position he's in, and so all things considered, it could'a been a lot worse.

Re: Filter

[shiba-explosion.livejournal.com]

Stupid.

The whole situation's just... fuck. So fucking stupid.

...

...goddamnit, I still can't think straight!

Filter

[howls-at-stars.livejournal.com]

Easy, Kuukaku; don't like...blow an artery or something. It's fine. I've been in way deeper shit for way smaller causes. It is stupid, but Szayel's gonna burn for his crimes one way or another, so don't worry about it, okay? Seriously. Just get back on your feet so you can watch me set that fug dress on fire.

Re: Filter

[shiba-explosion.livejournal.com]

I wanna shave him bald. Assmunch cut my hair.

[howls-at-stars.livejournal.com]

FIE! One more nail in his coffin, the bastard!

[shiba-explosion.livejournal.com]

Hell, its above my shoulders now! Feels so fucking weird.

[howls-at-stars.livejournal.com]

Aw, lame! Well, I'm sure you'll pull it off. You're a classy dame. And it'll grow back soon enough anyway, right?

Re: Filter

[shiba-explosion.livejournal.com]

I haven't had it this short since my Academy days (and no, not telling ya how long ago that was). Just because I spat on him, the bitch goes and does something like this.

I'm plenty feminine, thanks!

[isshinkurosaki.livejournal.com]

YOU ARE VERY WELCOME KUUKAKU.

I AM GLAD TO SEE YOU ARE AWAKE.

What size are those shoes?

[shiba-explosion.livejournal.com]

Goddamnit, Nobuu, don't shout! My head's killing me.

[Sigh]

Size 9, don't tell me you want them.

[isshinkurosaki.livejournal.com]

Then maybe you should be a little more grateful that you weren't left to be--

whatevered.

I might.

Is that a women's size nine? US or Euro?

[shiba-explosion.livejournal.com]

Just don't yell, damnit.

You still shouldn't have come for me. You guys know better than bending backwards for that asshole. You got kids cousins I'd still like to meet that need ya.

I dunno, fits my foot. Check the imprint on your ass and measure from there.

[Now, there is a filter and it is private]

[isshinkurosaki.livejournal.com]

I couldn't do anything for Masaki or Kaien. I sure as hell wasn't going to sit back and do nothing and let another family member die.

And anyway, who'd keep an eye on Ganjuu if I didn't tag along?

Re: [Now, there is a filter and it is private]

[shiba-explosion.livejournal.com]

Idiot shouldn't have gone along either. Who the fuck gave him permission to go!?

I never met Masaki, wish I could've seen the one woman in the universe that could stand you enough to marry you.

Miyako and Kaien...even if you had been here, there would've been nothing that you could've done. They died doing their duty, they would've been proud of that.

[Now, there is a filter and it is private]

[isshinkurosaki.livejournal.com]

It wasn't like we sought out permission. Hell, I'm sure the people in the Gotei 13 are in deep trouble for going. But... we couldn't just leave you there.

I don't think you two would have liked each other very much, haha! You're both oh so very different! Still... it would have been nice for the two of you to meet. I'm sorry that you'll never be able to meet her.

Re: [Now, there is a filter and it is private]

[shiba-explosion.livejournal.com]

...Shit. Maybe I can ask Ukitake-taichou to go easy on 'em or something. Ganju's gonna catch some hell for not even being a freakin' shinigami!

==

I think if she could handle you, she probably could've handled me. I mean, you're a hell of a lot more annoying.

Still wanna meet my cousins, damnit

(ooc: BTW, there should be apps for Karin and Yuzu coming in soon~)

[Now, there is a filter and it is private]

[isshinkurosaki.livejournal.com]

Bah. 'course he will. Well... we all knew the consequences when we went there. Even Ganju.

Hey! I'm not that annoying! And I'm a hell of a lot more sexy than you are! She liked me just fine. After I stopped drinking and lighting stuff on fire and stuff like that.

...maybe.

((OOC: Who! what? When!))

Re: [Now, there is a filter and it is private]

[shiba-explosion.livejournal.com]

But...Ganju? Fucking hell, Nobuu, I oughta set you on fire THEN fry you with lightening.

Ganju may be stupidly brave like the rest of the Shiba, but he isn't even fully trained yet! And you let him wander into that hellhole? No way, no how did he have business being there! You should know better!

Be fucking grateful nothing happened, or I would've taken it out on your hide.

...

Peh, if you stopped setting stuff on fire, then you made it up in other ways. Shibas can't live without chaos.

[Now, there is a filter and it is private]

[isshinkurosaki.livejournal.com]

I didn't let him go! Have you ever tried to stop someone riding a pig who's heard his sister is in grave danger?! I did try to stop him, but damnit, it's not easy!

I kept an eye on him to make sure nothing happened !

No, I didn't make up for it, Ichigo came along before I could find an appropriate replacement for lighting stuff on fire. He caused all the chaos I could ever need.

Re: [Now, there is a filter and it is private]

[shiba-explosion.livejournal.com]

Ya kick 'im off the pig, stupid! Bonnie-chan's smarter than he is sometimes, she'll stop if he's thrown off.

What if that damn Espada had really tried to hurt you all, do you think you could've watched him and Ichigo at the same time? Don't tell me you wouldn't have tried to protect your son, too.

Just shows he's a Shiba at heart.

[Now, there is a filter and it is private]

[isshinkurosaki.livejournal.com]

Did I mention he also had EXPLOSIVES?

I would have protected them both. Jeez, Kuukaku. I didn't become a captain just because of my good looks and devastatingly witty wit!

Well, he grew out of it.

Mostly.

[Same filter back!]

[fighting-boy.livejournal.com]

Went there before, will go again if I gotta. Like I was--like any of us were--going to leave you there. It doesn't work like that. That's really all there is to it, Kuukaku-san.

(... Isn't it about time I dropped the damn honorific?)

Re: [Private]

[shiba-explosion.livejournal.com]

I should kick all your asses for letting Ganju come with you. Damnit, Ichigo, he's not even out of the Academy yet, not even a fully trained shinigai, and you let him go into Hueco Mundo?! I don't care if it was me or the love of his life, he had no business being there.

It was a stupid thing to do, thats all there is to it.

(Yeah, been waiting for ya to ask about that anyway)

[Private]

[fighting-boy.livejournal.com]

Fine, you can punt me into orbit for that next time we meet, Kuukaku. But he came along when we were rescuing Rukia, and...

Yeah, it was dumb as all fuck, but I still had to go. Ganju made up his own mind. We can fight 'bout this till kingdom come and not change each other's minds.

You still in the Fourth? Should I drop by, annoy you some more?

Re: [Private]

[shiba-explosion.livejournal.com]

Consider yourself space-bound then. First shinigami satellite, say hello to the Mir Space Station for me. Enjoy the ride, Ichigo.

[There's a brief snort over the line.]

What am I gonna do with you Shiba men?

Unohana-taichou wants to keep me another night, unfortunately, but she's allowing me late visitors, considering the nature of things. So come on over, being annoyed is better than bored.
