The Silent Kuchiki



Takehiko Kuchiki


Takehiko had made the trip to the Zaraki District to connect with his roots. But slowly he began to notice that each place was more savage. Everything was slowly reverting more and more. Someone tried to mug him only to be punched straight in the face. Takehiko treated his injuries afterward sure. But it was a tedious journey that covered my malms But in reality, when he arrived in the old Unabara home he was surprised. First, it was an old cottage-like home with what would have been a yard. He couldn't picture that man playing around here. The place seemed empty as he slowly knelt on one knee. A voice spoke inside him the voice of Ruin the Steed of his father. "They are here, it doesn't take long in this place. You look very out of place here, make sure you show them how off they are." Takehiko's eyes closed and a sigh could be heard. Irritation began to fill his veins he just wanted answers. Not to play around with a bunch of muscle head morons. His azure eyes opened slowly scanning from left to right. Four of them maybe five he guessed.

Slowly his hands closed into fits as he got himself ready for what was to come. Takehiko was learning to fight barehanded rather than his sword. It felt more comfortable to him at the moment. Using his footwork he stepped to the side of a vertical slash slamming his fist into the male's jaw. It was too shallow but he knew it as he quickly followed up with Hadō one in the guts sending him flying. Spinning around he put his hands on the ground moving quickly to face the next one. Another sword well it was of little consequence as he released Byakurai from his finger. Sending the male to the ground in some pain. Did they live here maybe and were defending their home? Hadō 11 would do from here he imagined, they were making more work for him. He had to fix these dolts after he finished fighting them. Deciding to wrap this up he stepped taking the last two by surprising and electrocuting them both. "You know, I am a healer, not a fighter. So do you mind not attacking me, fixing you after fighting you is counterproductive for me."

He said with some exasperation in his voice sitting down he began tending the Byakurai one first. Shinten was a rather effective drug knocking people out. He used it applying it to their skin to render them easier to treat. Bandaging them up one by one and treating injuries with Kaido skills. This was no place for a medic, but he needed some answers about his uncle and this place was ground zero.

Abigaíl Espinosa


The Rukongai never did seem to change for the better. Centuries on since she'd first stepped foot in the lawless cesspool that was the Zaraki district, it'd only gotten worse. The elderly were mugged in broad daylight. Gangs roamed the land, using violence to get what they wanted from the people who were unable to defend themselves or their loved ones. Children played a mere couple dozen feet from adults quietly having their way in a back alley...

Okay, that one was normal, as far as she remembered.

Abigaíl grinned peacefully as she took her stroll down memory's lane. It was so nostalgic to be here again, every time she worked up the courage to smuggle herself back to her old home. Of course, with her power, it was easy and quick; more so than with any senkaimon. She'd never dared to venture much closer to the Seireitei, though.

Several hours into her jaunt, the woman's attention was caught by the sounds of a battle nearby. Despite every intention to have remained quiet and safe this day, she glanced in the direction of the noise just as the tell-tale voice of a man casting several Kidō reached her ears.

Shinigami getting ruff with the residents of the Zaraki district was hardly unheard of, but curiosity got the best of her, and with but the swishing sound of her old, tattered robes, she stepped towards the battle just as it was reaching its early conclusion.

"This is new." She chuckled with her words from the shadow of a nearby tree. She kept her voice quiet, and her presence as small as was possible so as not to attract undue attention to herself. After all, the man was treating the very wounds he'd caused, so what need was there to worry? Of course, that wasn't to say that she tried to hide herself. After all, here and dressed as she was, she was just another Shinigami out on patrols.

The Silent Kuchiki



Takehiko Kuchiki


Takehiko had held back considerably against the ruffians who attacked him. "Hopefully less trouble inside, not sure how Uncle Tsubasa and Dad dealt with this frequently." He said out loud to himself mostly not seeking others. Takehiko's eyes befell the Cottage now, this place was it. Three brothers who were the most infamous after Zaraki himself to come from here. Though one became a Captain Commander showcasing his power. Takehiko let his digits go across his throat now. He did notice someone was there as he heard a voice. "Someone's watching." Ruin again voicing in her two sense to make sure he was aware. "I'm aware, they can watch if they so chose. " He said softly pretty sure that the person was aware he knew. Takehiko cracked his shoulders checking the door. The house itself seemed pretty stable all things considered. Everything else here looked like slums and poor conditions. The cottage was very well made and taken care of.

Takehiko's azure eyes scanned up and down on the door. He didn't open it yet as something worried him. It was in good shape yet nobody came here. No attempted break in's or busted windows. The house was pretty much in good shape his hand came to his jaw. The place must have had many traps for people not to try it. Takehiko was a critical thinker when it came down to it. So this problem was of a different sort. "Don't suppose you know why this place is left alone?" He said it out loud again making sure the hidden person could hear him. Something about it didn't scream walk in the front door. His uncle was careful too and good at traps. So entering this place without careful consideration was an issue. Even if he did have Unabara blood and was the current Horseman of War. Takehiko did represent something foreign at the moment. He wanted to see the home his dad and them grew up in. So the question was did he need a kido of some sort? Takehiko didn't detect them but that didn't mean much.

One of his uncles was a master of poison so careless movement would be bad. Those three had made a living killing in effective ways. Pest wielded a power that was frightening to consider. His father and Uncle Tsubasa were figures to worry about as well. Nevermind that the rest of the clan put the Stealth Force to shame as Assassins for a while. They were considered better if not stronger in that regard. Tsubasa had even known Kenpachi Yachiru for a while. That was the status of his family on that side of things. Kuchiki was a little more simple after all.

Abigaíl Espinosa


"This place is cursed." She called back an answer just as casually as the stranger had asked. Abigaíl tapped her fingers idly on the bark of the tree, with her other resting on the hip near her sword. The men who had attacked him were definitely unconscious, but more peacefully than if he'd simply knocked them out. They would probably be dead before long, if left as they were.

"The home's booby trapped. It kills anyone who so much as steps foot on the doorstep." If it were any other home in the Rukongai, she might've left then and there to pursue her own amusement elsewhere. However, this home was special, and notorious to anyone familiar with the area. She'd lost a lot of good men to its machinations in her time.

"If I may..." She left the comfort of the not-so-distant tree and approached the stranger and his menagerie of would-be attackers, stopping just shy of sword's reach from the man in exquisite dress. Her finger gestured where his attention should be as she explained, "Just the outside is armed with an endless supply of poison darts. You can see the places where the paint's been disturbed, when they've been triggered."

After her explanation, she stooped over and sharply grabbed two of the men under their arms, and dragged them to the shade underneath the tree. By herself, it would only take three trips to get them to relative safety.

"If you can get past those, there's an axe set up behind the door. Pretty gruesome, considering the poisons outside. I can't say for anything else." It was a few seconds before she'd remembered the last trap she knew of, "Oh, and don't touch the windows. There's some spell on them, or something. Makes you very sick before killing you."

Finally satisfied that noone would approach the home thinking to aid the five slumbering men, she turned and clasped her hands together in anticipation. "So, how are we getting in?" She'd tried for a hundred years to break into the home in the old days, after all, and it was a particularly sore thought that she'd never succeeded.

The Silent Kuchiki



Takehiko Kuchiki





Takehiko listened noticing each thing she spoke of carefully. Spellcrafting from Uncle Tsubasa, Uncle Pest made it a poisoned deadly landmine. And finally dear old dad kept a battle-ax ready to kill people. His family in a nutshell as he sighed softly. They made things so complicated for him to find out any details. It wasn't as though they kept anything valuable inside. Just the family's profession and what they did. Though rumors indicated that those who knew had it rough. His father some said was well connected with people from more seedy establishments. Takehiko looked over the cottage again. Tapping his finger to his chin he blinked realizing he forgot to introduce himself. "I see that explains it, guess dad and my uncles were a bit more cautious then I'd hoped." He said introducing himself finally before turning his gaze back. So the entrance to this place wasn't going to be easy he guessed. Ruin didn't chime in yet since she sort of enjoyed this. His Steed had been with him for a while as he thought about it.

Surely the riders had a way to get in that didn't involve dying. The place on top looked like it was locked down tight. The outside traps kept most from even trying it. So that lead him to believe something obvious was in front of them. Glancing around for a moment he looked left and right. As though searching for something not so obvious. Oh everything was trapped that was for sure and inside wasn't much better. "The door isn't hard to find really for a Rider, just go to the garden." Takehiko's eyes blinked and he walked over to the side of the home. Looking out to a rundown garden with nothing there. Dead plants and an old well. The well was poisoned with enough venom to drop two hundred people. So obviously that wasn't it as he walked over towards it. The place was rather bad and the soil wasn't good. So what did Ruin want him to do at the Garden exactly? Dress in drag and do the hula? Or maybe she wanted him to do the can-can with some crazy person.

His nostrils let air pass through them in a sigh. "As for entry, that house is way too damn trapped for a person to enter. I'd imagine the outside is just a warm up exercise in welcoming unwelcome guests." He said answering her questions while keeping himself busy. Scanning it he saw an old shack but that was too obvious. Thing radiated death almost and he could tell people lost some stuff. A person's arm had been left lying there and turned into bones. So obviously that thing had some contraption or something that didn't let access. Takehiko walked around the garden thinking about what Ruin said. She'd told him the Garden which was a hint. A good hint really when one thought about it. But this was frustrating and completely annoying in that sense. Takehiko continued walking before finally just sitting down in the garden. "Ruin, you sent me to the Garden and I'm not seeing anything. This place is an empty lot with nothing going on...why did you.....SHIT!" He went to lay back before falling through something.


A set of trap doors programmed with a spell to detect riders and open for them activated. Takehiko's entire body vanished as he went from complaining to groaning. His body hurt from head to toe and he was fairly sure the inside was less welcoming. But once underground he saw it, the place was massive underground and a maze yet. Of traps and doors without really a direction to go, he stayed on the ground. This was way more complicated than a damn shack on the surface. The woman would have moments to enter before those self-same doors closed shut again locking Zaraki district out.

Abigaíl Espinosa


"Abigaíl," she introduced herself neatly and simply. Of course, it would be just her luck to run into a damn noble of the Soul Society today. To make things worse, she would only seem suspicious if she left now, and her little day trip would be ruined.

So, she swallowed the lump of anxiety in her throat and continued on as before, and joined the Kuchiki on a brief walk around to the back of the home. While he looked around and talked to himself, she took in the sight of the dilapidated yard and remembered. So many friends lost to the home, and enemies lured to their doom, all the same. What was left of Aziz's hand still lay on the ground beside the accursed shed, even.

However, she wasn't allowed to remember for long, before the sound of the man falling pulled at her attention, and she reacted before the trap door could close again. It was only by the skin of her teeth that she managed to make it down the stairs before the world outside was shut off to them.

"Hahah!" She laughed with glee and stepped just past where the Kuchiki had fallen. She practically glowed with excitement, and lightly traced her fingers along the hewn stone wall. She didn't dare to walk any further, however. "Of course there would be something under here!" She grinned from ear to ear, elated to just have this much of an answer to questions that had hounded her for centuries.

"Noone would try so hard to protect a damn house!" Then, her elation and glee slowly died, as she realized their predicament. The door had closed, and surely, the maze would be just as dangerous as the outside, or worse. Covering her face with one hand, she muttered a voice for her renewing anxiety, "shit!"

Takehiko Kuchiki


Well at least her spirits were lifted if only for a moment. He rubbed the back of his head glancing around. Damned maze as he sighed softly remaining seated for now. "Ruin, make yourself visible for her too. " He said it so he could stop having conversations with himself and seeing like a crazy man. Slowly a girl materialized coming from his body. She was small but her dress of gray was in tatters down to her bare feet. She had long white hair and eyes that looked similar to the sun with their glow. She shrugged her shoulders before leaning over her fallen owner. "Some Unabara, you aren't making the family proud with this display Takehiko. " She said it bluntly as he sighed giving her an I know look as he dusted himself off. "So getting away from my failing's as Takehiko Unabara, can we focus on we are stuck inside an underground labyrinth? " Ruin smiled and gently tapped her chin as though being cheeky. Resting an index finger on her jaw before disappearing back inside of Takehiko.

"That little bundle of helpfulness is Ruin my Steed, one of the beings my family employs. " He said sighing at her rather shy nature. Ruin had more or less appeared for a second and gone back into her den. But that didn't make the matter any easier. Azure eyes slowly looked over the area as a whole. Stone walls went on for what seemed to be miles in all directions. This underground maze was lengthy for sure. Candles lit the passages now that they entered the section. Takehiko closed his eyes trying to focus his senses. For wind or some form of the air current. Anything to give him a suggestion of the direction he was going. It wasn't any good thankfully they weren't going to get slaughtered by traps. The place was cool though for being underground and kept rather clean. Candles lit up with different colors indicating different pathways. Green Candles meant Pest, Black for the Pale Rider, White for Famine, and Red for War.

They were different candles in terms of color he made a guess. Slowly he walked down the pathway beginning to follow the pathway. It was a maze though he wondered what happened if someone got in. Could it be that was the reason Ruin didn't care? That because he was marked as War he could get in through his path? Takehiko exhaled softly and started down the red candles path. Deciding to explain as he began walking. "Four Horsemen Ride for the Unabara, Death, Famine, Pestilence, and War." He said softly remembering the words form his uncle's journal. "I've inherited War, so Red candles and perhaps our destination will be clear." This place was trapped just as much he began to take notice. Spears and other weapons were everywhere, floors with spike pits and seals for detonation kido. This thing was a walking tomb but they didn't trigger because of his mark. Why were so many traps required to protect something? This pathway had been hidden for a while and unused obviously.

He could feel even false floors beneath his feet as he stopped now. 'Stay close, I'm guessing due to who I am they won't impale you or me..I hope anyways." He said offering a gulp in his throat now as he brought his courage up from its slumber. This was all he could do is find out the future of the Unabara Family. By seeking out the past that once was for them to truly grasp at it. That was the duty required for Takehiko Kuchiki, no for Takehiko Unabara to move forward.

Abigaíl Espinosa


Abigaíl took in what she could while the Kuchiki lead the way. He explained a little here and there about his family and their backstory, but to tell the truth, she was much more interested in the catacombs themselves. It was only by his last-minute warning that she didn't wander down one of the other color-coded passageways, and instead followed after her would-be guide.

The red passageway, denoted for War, was littered with remains and deteriorating weaponry. She remained light on her feet as they walked over well-hidden pitfalls and traps, and only once did she lag behind. A spike pit opened underneath her feet, which she avoided just barely with her flash step.

She made sure not to get too far away from the man again.

"So, Unabara and Kuchiki, huh?" She spoke aloud as they continued to walk. "How's that work? You go commit genocide, then write a detailed report about it?" She didn't know much about any of the Soul Society's noble families, save for what rumors she'd heard over the past several centuries.

The Silent Kuchiki



Takehiko Kuchiki


The catacombs were impressive but he stopped suddenly in his steps. Like the room, they were in lit up brightly. For miles, underground space went on but on the sides of them slowly chambers began to light up as well. Within them were people and bodies as they seemed in a stasis of some sort. A prison of sleep as Takehiko ventured closer towards one. Snapped out of his thoughts to look back at the woman now. "Truthfully, I don't have any idea what the Unabara did. Nor do I know the Kuchiki that well." Takehiko wasn't someone who fit into the world of noble families that well. It was a fact that he merely was a part of the universe. But these bodies what were they? Mod Soul was written at the bottom in different words. These things were sleeping and maintained inside of it. This didn't seem like a painful slumber truthfully. But it seemed like something lit the pathway up further. Revealing layers of them built into the wall that rose up inside the area. Thousands upon thousands of pods had slumbering Mod souls. Bodies built for them looking different and each made for something.

"Mod..souls." He said out almost under his breath in shock at the sheer number of them. It was an army of Mod Souls and they weren't near the end of the path. How long had this been going on he just had to know the length of time. Because if they continued to make them at this point. They must have had millions of these things by now. What was the progression that leads the Unabara to build their army? Ruin had remained silent as Takehiko spun on his heel looking around. As the ceiling and room lit up it became evident. This place stored many Mod Souls for a single purpose. But what was the purpose of the Unabara family in this? Why did they have so many of them here of all places? Stepping forward he continued walking forward until they came to a concrete slab. It held a mark on it which sent out a blue scan across the room. The magic scanner of some sort seemed to fill the room.

A booming voice detected through the room spoke now. "CRIMSON HORSEMAN DETECTED, WAR. INTRUDER OR FOLLOWER ALSO DETECTED!" Speaking of the girl who was with him he was quick. "No, no not intruder she is with me I swear!" Waving his hands back and forth in front of it. The room went silent as it hummed to life across the floors. This wasn't going to be an easy trip to go through, was it? Takehiko couldn't even begin to process what all this was. It was shocking enough since he sensed dangerous implications on the intruder. If that house upstairs was meant as a decoy. This place must have had much more dangerous traps, but before he could continue a voice came to snap him from his careful musing. "Good evening Master War, you awoke me to guide you the rest of the way?" A man dressed in a nice suit white hair and glasses stood almost like a butler. Takehiko's eyes looked up and down looking around to see if he came from a pod.

"I see you've brought a guest young master, well let's get you both out of the cold as Unabara hospitality has never been lax." Takehiko could only nod in silence unable to respond towards the elderly gentlemen. Who walked forward and the slab began to move upwards. Revealing an Underground Manor that had a face sun and sky built into it. It looked as though they'd just gone outside of the building. Takehiko's jaw hung almost as though he couldn't believe his eyes. "...Wha...how?" Were all he could muster to move forward.

Their walk through the underground labyrinth only grew more strange. Remains and weaponry gave way to rooms upon rooms of large vats, each containing a body that may or may not have been human. Abigaíl shuddered at a few of the more monstrous figures. She knew of mod souls as a general device, but something about all of this was... simply creepy.

Then, the room filled with a thunderous voice, and startled as she was, the brunette raised her hand to her face to be ready to defend herself. However, her guide seemed capable of calming the voice, and she relaxed again just in time to spy a figure approaching from further into the room. If it weren't for the figure's absolutely appalling reiatsu, she might've hollowfied then and there, for safety.

Fortunately, she did no such thing, as the figure lead the two of them to something entirely... new. She stared wide-eyed at the grand home before them, itself somehow built within the labyrinth and underneath the Zaraki district. Her large, brown eyes practically glistened in the presence of... of...

Just what was she looking at, anyways?

"Oh my god..." She muttered aloud with one hand just barely covering the childish grin on her face. A few times, thoughts of killing the Kuchiki and making off with as much as she could carry did come to her, but stunned shock kept her from dwelling on such plans too much.
