It was cold. It was dark. It felt like felt like falling through the sky but all was black around her. But then as quickly as it was cold it was warm. Why? That was when she opened her eyes. The girl with pink pig tails lay there in a bed that was not hers. It was warm and comforting to be in, but the scenery around her was all wood and the windows were frosty. Where had she been taken? This girl was Ashlei Mischevang. She was the ruler of the Espada and but what she was doing at this point seemed very frail to the Arrancars order. She looked around her warm room to see it almost exactly how she had it in Las Noches, but all wooden instead. She wasn't in Hueco Mundo. What happened? Ashlei stretched her arms as she pulled herself into a sitting up position from here she could see out of the window beside her and to her amazement, saw snow. Something she had never actually seen before in her life. All she knew was the sands of death. "Wow...." Ashlei stared happily, but then the worst came and hit her hard. her head ached painfully with a massive surge in her nerves. Clutching her forehead, Ashlei leant forwards and gritted her teeth. through her head, moved the very past that had occurred only a few days ago.

~~

"What are you doing?!" He shouted at her. the man standing in blue shoving the pink haired Ashlei to the ground. She had been hitting on the guy in a very forward manner, thinking he loved her as much as she loved him and wanted to take some action. She hit the floor hard and rubbed her hip where she connected. "Wha...what? Don't you like me?" "Like you? your my superior I wouldn't do such a thing with you." "But... but I thought" "You thought I would simply let you get up and over me? My work is professional Ashlei i do not have any interest in you." "w...why?" "Not after what happened all those years..." "TO THAT BITCH YOU USED TO LOVE?" "HOW DARE YOU CALL HER THAT!"
Rihiku and Ashlei had their voices raised to screams as Ashlei hurled herself back onto her feet. "SHE'S DEAD YOU FOOL WHY CAN'T YOU MOVE ON?" "WHY SHOULD I BE FORCED TO? YOU DON'T CONTROL MY PERSONALITY!" "BUT I WANT TO BE IN YOUR LIFE, NOT HER SHE ISN'T EVEN HERE!" "BECAUSE OF YOUR ARMY SHE DIED!" "I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT ATTACK!" Ashlei walked forwards to try and hold him but he shunted her arms off of his and stepped away. "GET AWAY FROM ME YOU WHORE" Ashlei at this point had a head full of anger and the right mind to blow Rihiku into oblivion. He had no right to simply decline her affection for him. he was still so attached to the Miko girl from his time as a shinigami squad member. Why doesn't he just go and die with her? Rihiku turned to walk out of the room, but Ashlei charged a cero into her hand and fired it right at him, destroying the wall behind. Rihiku, blocking just in time, took this opportunity to flee through a gargantua to the living world. Ashlei watched him do so out of the new hole she had just blown open. Her legs gave was as she fell to the ground in tears. "What have I done?"

~~

Back in the warm room, Ashlei still sat there clutching her head. Her eyes were full of tears as she remembered exactly what had happened that day, only 24 hours ago. But the pain in her head wasn't going to stop right there. more was to play out as she screamed her heart out at the pain striking her mind. Opening her left eye slightly, Ashlei could see the duvet now had a blood stain as though it was spat across the room. Did she just do that? She didn't even remember doing that.

~~

Her second flashback takes Ashlei to only a few hours ago in a location a few minutes away. The revival of Kin, the return of her mother and the news that made Ashlei break wide open. Ashlei lay there with Claire, her mother, hugging her and both girls crying for each other, apologising for abandonments and for not being the suitable daughter. It was a very sad scene to watch such two pwoerful girls being resorted down into shivering wrecks. however, another girl appeared, Akane, Ashlei's younger sister. She bared grave news as the words "Rihiku has left us" slipped her sisters mouth. Ashlei looked at her. She didn't believe it. It couldn't have happened...no...Her eyes were already watered and her face covered in her tears. Now, she burst into them even more violently than before. He was gone, she had made the gravest mistake she had ever made and now she was to take the toll. Looking at her hands where she wiped her tears, she saw blood, not the clear water. Quickly, Ashlei passed out in Claires arms.

~~

That was how she got here now, Taken by her mother to this location. the past had happened, and Ashlei was definitely not going to forget it. The headache was going slowly. She could feel the pain moving away from her bit by bit and now she could open her eyes again. Wiping her face of her tears once more, she found she had been weeping blood like the previous day. "What.... is happening to me?" Looking at the opposing wall, it was now too covered in blood. Cupping her mouth, Ashlei coughed violently into her hand to find where the source of this blood was coming from. Her hands were now dripping with her own blood. "Am....am I dying...?"

There were dishes lined up on a wooden counter top, in a kitchen that was very small and didn't fancy any new or top of the line appliances. It was bare and very basic. There was a simple sink, an ice box, an open fire oven, and cupboards for the dinning items. Standing by the sink was a woman in a black Chinese dress and long red hair. Her blue eyes were focused downward into the sink as she quietly cleaned 3 carrots. She was very careful and calm while doing so, and as she did it, there was a pot in the open fire oven behind her. It was cooking a vegetable stew, something very basic and healthy, and it was just enough for two as well. The small cabin was something the two girls shared together. It had a living room and a small kitchen on the first floor, where on the second level it only had one room. The room had a large bed and it was very basic. That was where the girls slept and kept each other warm though the harsh nights of the cold and snow outside. This was all possible because the woman that was making the meal was really Claire Clixx, Memory Rosary of Despair and Shadow to Kin Iramasha, the next god to rule their realm. Claire made this area by taking their original room in the base, and making it a portal to an undisclosed location. If Claire and Ashlei knew the person and wanted them in, then when entering the door from the base, they would enter the cabin, but if they didn't know Ashlei or Claire, or were unwanted, then would be transported to a very cold and mountainous region where there would be no way out but to travel.

While Claire cooked the meal for herself and Ashlei, the very girl Claire had taken in and called her own daughter, Claire was focusing on the carrots really hard. She was thinking about how to care for Ashlei, especially after what had happened back in Kin's Revival. When Ashlei passed out there, she was out for 2 days and wouldn't respond to anything. Claire took it upon herself to take her away and take care of her. Claire cleaned Ashlei, and did everything for her to allow her recovery to be perfect. Claire didn't like seeing her child in that state at all, so she had to do anything she could in which to help. As Claire continued, she noticed her focus begin to dull, and while so, her world became surrounded in white. It was like a dream, and nothing was there but just a white world. Claire looked up and didn't see her sink anymore, nor the very cabin she was just in. She looked around confused, and a tad worried...

"... Blood Queen? Ashlei? Master?"

Claire took two steps back and heard something...

"... Claire... I'm sorry..."

Turning, Claire looked down to see a young 12 year old girl with purple hair. She looked sad as she stood there, her hair down and covering her eyes. Her little black kimono was stained and torn a little, as from behind her, a boy with white hair looking about 12 years as well approached. He was bleeding and looked hurt. The girl began to cry, and the boy just walked up and hugged the girl from behind her. The girl continued to cry, and Claire was confused. They looked so familiar, and this very scene looked so familiar as well, but who are they? The boy looked up as his blue eyes looked at Claire and the girl looked up as well, as her tan eyes showed through her purple hair. Claire then said something she couldn't help...

"It will be okay. I'm here for you two--"

Claire was then immediately pulled from this odd world, as she looked to see she was back in her kitchen. Nothing changed and everything looked fine, but she then immediately noticed the change in flux of the area.

Ashlei was awake!

Claire rushed upstairs, running out of the Kitchen and passed the living room. She looked through the only door in front of her, into the room where Ashlei was to lay quietly. Instead, Claire was brought into a room where Ashlei looked in deep pain and blood was covering the walls. It was everywhere, even as it seemed to be all over Ashlei herself. Claire looked worried, as she didn't know what she was going through. Claire quickly summoned her shikai to her, as the dagger attached to her leg disappeared and 10 rings took to her hands and a choker surrounded her neck. Claire's radar was activated immediately, and the problem was, Claire didn't know what was going on. She read Ashlei, but nothing was foreign in her! What was doing this!

Claire reached out her hand with her rings trying to see if she could stop the blood, but nothing was happening. The rings weren't lighting up, and nothing was emitting from Claire's very source. Was her power not working on Ashlei, or was it not working in general?

Claire looked very scared as her powers weren't turning on and Ashlei looked to be suffering from this very problem. The blood began to puddle as it seeped down passed her feet and it began to drip down the stairs.

"DAMN IT BLOOD QUEEN, WHERE ARE YOU!?"

Screamed Claire in concern. Claire continued to watch Ashlei scared. What should she do? What can she do? Claire had a million questions running through her head, but finally, she didn't care. As a tear dropped from her eyes once again, she just ran to her only daughter. Claire reached out and grabbed Ashlei, pulling her into her chest and screaming out. Claire was scared, and didn't want her daughter to be hurt. The blood that emitted from the room and from Ashlei began to stain Claire's very dress, but she didn't care. She closed her eyes, as the tears continued to seep out and she called out...

"Ashlei, Mommy is here. Don't leave me. Please don't leave me, I need you... ASHLEI!!!"

Mon Dec 27, 2010 5:07 pm

Ashlei was very close to passing out again. Her entire body was in a short spasm where she would simply cough up blood every 15 seconds into her hands. This wouldn't be a small amount either, as if you were pouring a whole bottle of water into a bucket, Ashlei was spitting bottle worths of blood down herself. Barely keeping her eyes open, Ashlei managed to see the door to her bedroom slam open to show Claire standing there, watching as Ashlei fell apart in their bed. Turning to look at her mother, something of Ashlei's face changed. her skin was incredibly pale already but her eyes, they had changed from their yellow colour to a blood red. But they weren't simply changing shade, they were filling from the bottom of her pupil to the top of which people would claim to be blood leaking into her eyes. Blinking a few times, a shock came to Ashlei as she couldn't see a thing through them. those eyes were now blind and impaired and her hearing was soon to follow. A loud crack in her ear drum from within her body caused her to slowly lose her sense of hearing thus making her blind and deaf.

"M..m..m...mommy... Whats....happening....to me?" Ashlei coughed repeatedly while trying to splutter out a sentence. Claire grabbed her and held her tight while yelling something Ashlei could barely comprehend. For all she knew, a monster could have just grabbed her and was telling her she was about to die. It's not what she wanted to believe but it might have happened. However, as soon as Claire yelled those last few words... Ashlei stopped. Her head no longer stung and her body was no longer coughing. The room around the two looked like a homocide murder scene in a meat factory but Ashlei was no longer in the middle of a massive traumatic death. Was she saved by those words? No...

Suddenly the pain came back. Ashlei didn't know who was holding her but it was probably Claire. She wasn't going to do this right over her though. Holding her arms up weekly, Ashlei shunted Claire back so she wasn't in the way. The pain shot right up Ashlei's windpipe as though she was giving birth through her mouth. After about 100 coughs had passed like this, Ashlei finally gave one last final splutter in pain as an object fell out of her mouth and clanged loudly on the floor. Straight afterwards, Ashlei's body shut down. She fell forwards with her arms outstretched in front of her and passed out. What she had coughed up, was actually four. Four crucifixes drenched in her blood now leaving the girl to lay there with.... red hair?.

As Claire held Ashlei like a mother desperate for her child to be cured of an un-curable disease, she shead tears of fear and desparity. She did not know what was going at all! Ashlei was going through a hard change, as well as Claire! So many things were going on that caused this confusion to take place, and this problem with Ashlei did not help at all. She continued to hack and the blood surrounding the area continued to pour. Hey eyes were even becoming the very color that bonded the two women in the first place. The scene was painted in the same fashion as the time when they met under times of insanity, to now with nightmares of torment. Claire continued to speak under her breath, as if praying to a god that she never believed in. Claire's very existence was surrounded by Despair, and the fact this is happening began to delve her mind back into the world of Darkness, but before Claire would submit her new form of conciousness into that realm of blackness, it seemed the world went quiet for a moment. Ashlei calmed down as if the world was still. The blood ceased to leak from the walls and everything stopped. Claire began to breathe normally as if it was all over and her heart rate began to settle. The worst was finally over...

But as most say, the worst is the calm before the storm...

Not long after the world around them became silent, Ashlei pushed Claire away and began going through the world of pain all over again. Claire watched helplessly as her only bond left in this real world was under the pain and strain of suffering and she couldn't do anything. What made matters worse was that Blood Queen was not responding, and Claire couldn't call upon the help of her Zanpaktou. Claire grabbed the dagger in her right hand as she continued to helplessly watch Ashlei hack and cough. Finally, after 100 or so helpless gasps, Ashlei coughed something up under the lake of blood that poured from her very source. The item fell into the murkey crimson liquid and the girl proceeded to pass out after the ordeal. Claire's right hand began to bleed as she clutched the dagger with such furiosity that the skin broke. Claire under the pressure of stress and sadness, finally lashed out against what she has observed. She screamed out the name of her Zanpaktou and stabbed it into the ground...

"BLOOD QUEEN!!!"

Finally, while impaled into the ground, the eyes of the dragons on the dagger lit up. The room entered a typhoon and the blood surrounding every corner of the cabin began to swarm to the dagger. Blood Queen was taking in all the blood surrounded in the area as tribute, and was being syphoned into the Dagger. Finally as the cyclone of blood was sucked into the dagger, Claire stood over the body of her daughter. She looked at the now matching blood red hair and the small artifacts on the ground. Did she eat something and her body denied it, which lead to this? Claire didn't know what conclution to lead to, and all this was a bit much. Claire was reminded how Ashlei was at the end of the reunion of everyone. She bent down and observed her carefully. She looked a lot more like Claire now, as if she was her real daughter. Claire just needed a husband now, and they could be a full family, but there was no one Claire wanted in her life but her daughter. She just wanted to be with her, and she wanted to know more about the two she keeps thinking about.

Claire picked up Ashlei and set her onto the bed. The bed was now dried up from Blood Queen taking every drop of blood in the area and syphoning it into her realm, but for some reason Ashlei's hair continued to stay with the appearance of stained blood. She then covered her in the blankets that they shared and she then proceeded to pet her hair. Claire's soft fingers became enchanted by the hair, and how it was more like her very own now. Claire was still scared and didn't really know what to do. It was as if her child was still in danger and she didn't know what to do. Claire then looked over to the artifacts on the ground. She proceeded to pick them up and place them on the nightstand beside the bed. She never had seen them before, and she was wondering if Blood Queen would know anything. Blood Queen was one obsesed with blood after all, and after this odd ritual, she should know something...

Claire picked up the dagger from the ground and held it close to her. She sat on the bed aside Ashlei's unconcious body and held the dagger near her chest as she closed her eyes and entered a state of trance...

'Blood Queen... Can you hear me...?'

Claire was now in a world surrounded by darkness. She stood atop a flood of red, as she stood atop a lake of blood. The liquid rippled with each step, and she continued to walk. Her eyes were stern as if she was going to challenge her to something. After about 2 minutes of walking, Claire stopped before looking at a dead tree sitting in the middle of this sea of red. She looked at the tree and took a stern stance.

"Blood Queen... Come out..."

A moment of silence passed when finally, a woman surrounded by black and shrouded in mystery stepped from beside the tree. Her right hand held an apple that was as red as the very world that surrounded them. She smirked looking at Claire, as if she was a bit disguested...

"Welcome my sweet. What can I do for you this day?"

Claire continued to leer at the individual with an appearance of seriousness.

"What happened to my daughter? Why did you deny me into Shikai in which to help her? What is going on with you?"

Blood Queen looked amused as she let out a small giggle. She then took a small bite of the apple as the sweet necture of the fruit entered her throat. She took a few small moments to chew it, then simply swollowed it. She then proceeded to speak in her amused and carefree tone of voice...

"I wanted to see what would happen. She was letting out a lot of that precious recourse that I adore so much, I didn't want that sweet little fountain to just stop! If you denied me that, why... I just don't know what I would do..."

Claire was becoming angered. She looked at Blood Queen and gritted her teeth in anger, and clenching her fist. She wanted to punch Blood Queen for that statement against her child, but that was when Blood Queen spoke up taking advantage of the moment...

"What happened to my Claire? Your not my Claire... My Claire would have danced in the fountain of blood and celebrated. Instead, you cried and whimpered like a little dog..."

Blood Queen then lit up a dark red aura and began to float into the black sky before Claire...

"Don't forget, I gave you the powers to be a god, and to deny the laws of Existence. I demand my Claire back, or you will lose what I have given and more... We are done here..."

And with that, Claire was removed from the world she was just in. She looked at Ashlei helplessly once again. Blood Queen was right. What happened to her? Claire was once an evil inspired being that would do what she wished when she wished. Her life was so care free and she would at one minute be killing endless innocent beings, then onto having sexual relations with another woman. Now all that is going through Claire's mind is taking care of Ashlei, and seeing the two that she keeps dreaming of. She was becoming something that she once...

Was...

-------------------------------------------------------
Ashlei was tucked back into her bed, now clean and warm once more. Her eyes were tightly shut and weren't going to be opening any time soon. her hair had seemed to absorb some of the blood she was coughing up and stained it into a new colour. Her skin, that was covered in blood, became smooth as silk and pure. She looked like a mini Claire and slept with weak breathes every few seconds. What was actually happening, was now in her mind and in her dreams as she slept. In a semi-coma, Ashlei dreamt of a white room. It held a large bed for two that usually only hosted the one and a window to overlook a desert in the sun. A tall wardrobe stood upright against the far wall near a door about 7ft tall. This place was Las Noches, the Cero Espada chambers. Ashlei stood in the middle of the room facing the door. She walked up to it slowly with her frail new appearance. She was wearing a deep red coloured dress that matched Claires theme. Her eyes were blood red and her nails painted the same colour. Those long pig tails were now one blood coated hair style held by a bow on her head. Now up against the door, Ashlei reached forwards with a shaking hand to grab the handle. Holding on, she turned the handle to open the door and stumbled through. On the other side...

...was her chambers again. looking behind her, the door was closed as if she opened the door, turned around and closed it without leaving the room. It was identical. Turning back, Ashlei opened the door of this supposed second room and stepped through to find herself in the first room, exactly the same as the second. there was one difference though. the room behind her, the second room, was darker. Out of the window was night with a crescent moon. the 1st room Ashlei has walked into again is much brighter as outside was daylight and a bright sun. the sound of chuckling slowly entered the air from behind Ashlei. Turning herself around, Ashlei spotted a figure sitting on the bed in the darker room. It was a shadow of what looked humanoid. She couldn't make out who it was seeing as a curtain surrounded all four sides of her princess bed in both rooms, yet the lighter rooms curtain was open. Ashlei stumbled towards the closed curtains over the bed and as she moved, the chuckling became louder and soon became a snickering sound from a male. Grabbing a hold of the curtain, Ashlei yanked it open...

...to find nobody there. The bed covered were torn apart and in several pieces with the pillows out of their covers and also shredded. Then Ashlei jumped in fright as the door she entered the room through slammed shut to show the shadowy figure holding onto it with his right arm outstretched. Ashlei spun around and looked at the man. he was wearing all black, a trench coat that barely kept itself off the floor and black hair that was spiked upwards, outwards and downwards like some kind of porcupine. His grin was menacing as he bared all of his sharp teeth, but his eyes were covered by his hair so he could be looking at anything. Ashlei was the first to say something. "WH....who are...you?" Her voice was very faint and soft. She wasn't used to a voice so smooth and soothing to hear which made her a bit surprised, but the man on the other end of the room simply stopped smiling. His huge grin became a frown like that on a drama mask. "How could you forget me my dear Ashlei Mischevang." Ashlei thought about that name. She wasn't called that any more ever since she started living with her mother. "th...thats not my name..." The dark man looked even more upset, but his frown opened up to show all of his sharp pointed teeth like a sharks. "Well... what am I supposed to call my best friend now?" the girl hadn't the slightest clue as to who this person was. He looked familiar though...

..."My name... is Tetsuka" As soon as that name was uttered Ashlei brought her hands to her mouth and gasped. Tetsuka? The boy she didn't kill in her village? They were best friends at a young age until Ashlei was killed by the villagers including Tetsuka. She felt emotions towards him back then which stopped her killing him. "T...t....Tetsuka?... why....why are you" "Why am I all black and in your dreams?" Tetsuka took his arm off the door and shoved them into his pockets. Within an instant, he dashed right in front of Ashlei to reveal his pale skin and jet black eyes. They were white of course but the pupils were just a black circle. Now standing less than 2 inches away from Ashlei, Tetsuka talked again. "Well I bet you didn't know why you let me live oh so long ago... or how me, a mere human, is still alive?" Ashlei was frightened by this man. Everything about him made her feel nervous as though he was going to bite her arm off at any given moment. However, he simply smiled with that grin of his. "You were never meant to die that day my friend. And I, was never alive when we met." Ashlei stepped back a few times but the bed was too close behind her for even a single step to be made. Tetsuka however, poked her forehead and shoved her onto the bed behind her. "Everything about you is messed up mischevang. That name will always haunt your mind as long as I am in your dreams" Tetsuka climbed onto the bed with Ashlei but stood above her as she layed down looking up at the towering man. "I AM THE ONE THAT WILL KEEP YOU BOTH ALIVE, AND DEAD. DO NOT FORGET MY NAME MISCHEVANG FOR YOU WILL BE CALLING FOR ME EVERY TIME YOU FEEL WEAK!" Tetsuka was pretty much shouting this at her right now. Grabbing a hold of four object, two in each hand from his coat, Tetsuka pulled off the bottom of each of them. They were the crucifix's that Ashlei had coughed up but Tetsuka had made them into weapons. Holding all four, He stabbed them downwards right into Ashlei before she could retaliate.

"NOOOOOO!" Ashlei sat up suddenly screaming. She was no longer dreaming in that world with Tetsuka but back in her home with Claire. She wasn't in any sort of coma now. She didn't even know her new voice could even scream but it did. Looking around, Claire was still in the room with her, but all of the blood was gone. Her mother seemed slightly odd though as though she had seen something. "M...mother?..."

What was going on?

Why was Claire's life changing so fast?

As Claire sat on the bed aside Ashlei, she moved slightly, and her breaths were a tad harsh with an imperfect pattern. They were light and frail for the girl, as she laid helplessly in the bed made for two. Claire continued to look away, puzzled about the entire situation. Ashlei was in pain and changed appearance, as Blood Queen is denying Claire access to her powers. Also, to add to it, Claire is getting these visions of two other individuals on top of not having a passion for killing as she once did. This entire thing was a mess, and it made Claire feel odd. The fact that she could 'feel' in the first place was off! She lifted the dagger slowly to look at each curve and detail of the blade and then looked at the four artifacts placed on the nightstand next to the bed. They bore a somewhat similar resemblance as in their details of stance, but aside from that they were different. She was completely taken in as to how this life of hers has lead her into complete turmoil from the get go. Why and how did her sanity return in the first place? Another thing is that Blood Queen was always nice to Claire, offering her everything that she needed to exact her revenge and rage upon the world, in which to delve it into the despair it's deserved, and yet she is now being denied this very ability.

"... Why..."

Finally, Ashlei shot up. She was scared and startled. Not taking long, Claire turned immediately to see that her daughter was fine. Claire's eyes were red and puffy, as if she was fighting the urge to cry again. The surges of emotions were confusing Claire at this moment. She was depressed about Blood Queen threatening her, but glad that Ashlei was alright. When Ashlei said Mother to Claire, it was like a sign that it was okay to move. Claire immediately lunged herself onto Ashlei, wrapping her arms around her and holding her into her chest. Gasps for air could be heard through Claire's lungs as she fought to breathe and fight crying. She was so happy Ashlei was okay and not harmed. Claire then gently placed a kiss on Ashlei's head as she sobbed a bit...

"My baby... My sweet child..."

She said under her breath as she continued to hold Ashlei and gently pet her hair. She didn't want Ashlei to be hurt anymore. She didn't want her in any more pain. The pain of her daughter caused Claire to be hurt even more. This pain that would be inflicted into Claire's heart was the worst pain she's ever had to bare. She didn't want it anymore. Claire told herself right then and there, that no matter what, Ashlei comes first. Her Master can come second...

-------------------------------------------------------
"Mommy?" Ashlei was hugged rather tightly. She had no idea what had happened earlier that day or why Claire was in such a state. Her mind had somewhat erased everything that had happened while she was not in this new appearance. She couldn't recall what she even used to look like earlier that day. Now, she had that red hair and dress as though time had leapt forwards. Ashlei had some questions that needed to be said seeing as she was slightly lost at the moment. "Mommy....where are.... are we?" Her voice was a soft as an angels but had a sort of knife tip at the end of each word. Slightly confused, Ashlei just let Claire hug her as much as she wanted. It's not like it wasn't a bad thing. It felt warm and made her feel happy inside, even though her face wasn't going to show it. However, this little moment between a mother and a daughter was going to feel slightly short lived as Ashlei spotted something when she looked over her mothers shoulders. Standing in the corner of the room furthest away from them, was a recognisable face. Ashlei whispered his name under her breath as she knew exactly who it was. "Tetsuka..." He stood happily looking rather pleased. His huge grin still showed on his face when he watched the two hug. However, he was a bit confused as to why they were hugging anyway. The man stepped away from the corner and up to where the four objects were placed earlier. They had been touched by someone other than him. This was disgraceful and needed to be cleansed.

Holding one of them in his right hand, he pulled the longest part of one off to reveal a blade just like in her dream earlier. Walking over to Claire from behind, he proceeded to lifting up his arm and bringing it down hard towards her back. Ashlei almost screamed but thought before she made any noise. Holding out her arm from underneath Claire, she attempted to grab the man. As soon as she came into connection with him though, he disappeared as though he was never there. The crucifix he picked up was still on the side and not touched. Claire was fine... was she hallucinating? Bringing back her arm to a hug, Ashlei tried to get back into a hugging mood but she was frightened he may come back at any moment. All she could think at the time was 'why is he here? Why is he tormenting her so? Why can't he just leave them be? Something about this guy made her feel strong though. Every time he appeared, she felt less weak in her body. She could move a bit more freely when she knew he was here. Now, her arms that were around Claire felt weak again.

That's when Ashlei's attention was brought to those four objects that Tetsuka was seen using to attack Ashlei with in her dream and also attempt to kill Claire in the real world. "What....are those?" Ashlei said as she pointed one of her frail arms towards them. The feeling of belonging was more concentrated over there as though the supposed weapons where a part of her. "Where did.... they come from?"

"The lives of humans are pathetic. They cower to themselves and only wish to live under a rock, and when the strong weed them out, they call it wrong. I saw injustice before my own eyes, and when that wrong happened in front of them, they did nothing. Don't think of me as the Executioner, Judge, or Jury... Just call me the criminal causing your despair~ <3"

She seemed fragile. As Claire held her child in her arms, she could feel a difference in her body. It was smaller and seemed much more fragile. Ashlei's appearance also shared many similarities in size, shape, and even hair color. The two looked even more like a Mother and Daughter in this moment, and when Ashlei said the word "Mommy" Claire felt touched. Her heart became directed at Ashlei, wishing to take the protective and loving role, and to never let her baby go. Ashlei asked where they were and Claire paused. Her sobbing and holding of Ashlei stopped as Claire loosened her hug and looked at her. She was indeed confused and her expression didn't say anything, but her eyes said everything. Claire could tell that she indeed did not know where she was, and Claire took Ashlei in while she was unconcious. While doing so, Claire noticed something. Ashlei was looking over her shoulder at something, but Claire knew there was nothing in the room. Ashlei then lifted one of her arms, as if trying to grab something and then stopped. Claire looked behind her to only see nothing there.

Was Ashlei okay?

Ashlei looked to the objects on the nightstand now and asked what they were. Claire did not know what was going on, but she wasn't comfortable right now. Ashlei went through an odd change, and to add to it, Claire was being suspicious of something else there besides the two girls.

Claire let out a small exhale as she wiped her eyes and took another inhale to calm her mind. Claire didn't want to slip from her current condition and make things worse. From there, she let go of her grip and sat at the edge of the bed, back to Ashlei and looking to her left, observing the objects. Claire distinctly remembered how they appeared and how it was Ashlei that produced them. The horror that went through Claire's mind as she watched helplessly was terrible...

"I don't know Ashlei... But they came from you...."

Claire wasn't comfortable...

Claire riased her hand up as her red earrings began to glow. As that happened, 6 blanks appeared before Claire. She looked at all 6 of them and spoke to them in soft tone.

"Patrol this area. No one is allowed into this house. Also, one of you are to finish cooking downstairs..."

And with that, the Blanks went to work. 5 began to patrol the area while one entered the kitchen and began to finish the meal that Claire was producing moments ago.

Claire didn't look back at Ashlei, she continued to face away. She then spoke...

"What happened to you..."

Ashlei watched Claires movements closely. She had her back to her daughter for some time and made Ashlei feel rather anxious. Was she not happy with her? Did she do something wrong? Either way Claire answered her question. "They... from me?..." As soon as she finished those three words her mind took her back a few minutes to the previous events. Her memory was slowly slipping back into her head as she watched a short replay of several flashbacks in short sequence. She was lying in bed, covered in blood and coughed up those blades. that was how it had all happened. Away from her memory, Ashlei looked at the weapons. They were definitely something that could be used to kill otherwise Tetsuka wouldn't have shown her how to even use them. Was he trying to tell her what they were in those vivid dreams? there was only one thing she could think of those blades being, and so she suggested it. "Are they... are maybe... My zanpakutou?..." She stuttered a little making her sentence seem a little comprehensible. However it would take a dunce not to realise what she was trying to say.

Still with her back to Ashlei, her daughter felt a little out of place. She was somewhere new, she had changed and her mother was acting slightly odd as though something had occurred to the two of them. The blanks were quickly summoned and ran off to do their errands of which Ashlei watched eagerly. She hadn't ever seen a blank before and thought they were guards of the shinigami or something. However, their reitsu levels seems just too low for that. Then the final question was asked. What had happened to you? Ashlei showed little expression to this as she had no clue either. But somebody else did. Ashlei hadn't even noticed the black blob that had appeared in the corner of her right eye. Also sitting on the bed mere inches from both girls was that bloody Tetsuka again, like a bad smell that just wouldn't go away. He looked over to Ashlei with that same grin he had used all day and spoke. "Why don't you tell your mother what happened?" Ashlei, answered even though she knew she would be speaking to thin air. "What...happened to me?" Tetsuka's smile turned into a simple expression of a thin line. He wasn't showing grief or happiness at this point, which wasn't exactly a good sign. "Well, let say that Primera Espada you were cursed by all those longs ago had put a little trick inside you. Yes you stopped ageing as she said..." Tetsuka then stood up and walked over to her, leaning over the bed so his face was right up against Ashlei's of which moved herself backwards so he didn't obscure her entire vision. Then the dark man talked again. "... That bitch kept me locked away too, away from the memories of old. You forgot me, but now the seal is gone, you have taken your true appearance as a very good looking girl..." Tetsuka licked his lips, almost licking Ashlei's cheek as it rolled by. "... But to take that appearance you had to kinda regurgitate your entire system to break the seal. A state of pure shock that built up over these past few days made you weaken, then it finally snapped... in front of that white angelic guy too, imagine fainting before a god. Really makes you look good doesn't it?" With that, Tetsuka stood up straight again and walked out of the open door the blanks walked through. He laughed as he did so leaving Ashlei with the look as though she saw a ghost.

"I... threw up my seal?..." Ashlei didn't fully understand what he had just said to her, but she repeated the important information as a question so Claire could somewhat guess what she had just heard. "I... was cursed years ago to... live...live in a young body... it broke the other day... I became new... i became... me" Ashlei looked at Claire. How could she know all the answers when she herself was unconscious through nearly all of it? Even so, she was scared...
