Urahara, Hitsugaya and gang headed to find niko.

toshiro: what?!!! She is under control of the enemy?!!

hinata: gomen. I couldn't anything.

toshiro: under who?

hinata; not sure. He wears a suit and white gloves. And... also a monocle.

itachi: not peppi then. Finerie. He has the ability of Contract. He probably somehow got hands of her blood and made a one-sided terms that she will do whatever he wants.

hinata: uhno.... kisuke-san. Why do you keep... staring at me?

urahara: your eyes... hyuuga. They are different.

hinata: different?

urahara: they aren't white... Your pupils are... black.

" eh?!!! " Hinata tries to use byakugan and realises she couldn't. She tries again, but she really couldn't use it " what's going on?! "

ichigo: can't you help her? urahara-san

urahara: I can't fix something where there's nothing to fix. Are you sure you have no idea what's going on? 

toshiro: do you know who did this to you? At least

Hinata blushes " well..." she mutters softly the next words " niko kissed me..."

ichigo: huh? can't hear you. So soft.

hinata tries again a little louder " niko... kissed me."

ichigo: what did you say?

toshiro: you really need to be louder, hyuuga.

hinata blushed even harder " niko kissed me !!!!"

ichigo: .... oh.

toshiro: ... I didn't know... niko had that kind of... interest...

urahara: neh. Histugaya taichou. Niko had black pupils didn't she?

toshiro: hai. Why? You mean...

ichigo: what?

hinata: tell me.

urahara: there's a chance that Niko used her ability trade one last time to trade her ability with yours. She probably didn't want the enemy to use her ability.

Hibari enters at this time with nina, and also bambi " did all of them go back?" hibari asked.

toshiro: hibari. Alice?

nina: heheh. I got brought here.

bambi:  why do I have to walk all the way here?!!!

toshiro: ah. All of them. Niko got controlled by one of them.

hibari: what? That's disappointing.

bambi: don't just ignore me!!!

urahara: to be fair, she was using her strength to maintain other things at the same time.

bambi: don't ignore me I said !!!

toshiro: Bambi-sama. You can help us go back to our dimension.

bambi: don't just care about me just cos you feel like it!!

nina: please... bambi-sama.

"hmph." bambi opened up a rift.

They were in a dark space. Bambi opened up a rift and they all followed her and walked through the rift. Itachi walked ahead to catch up with toshiro. The both of them walked at a speed where there was a bit of space between them and the front and back people.

itachi: are you going to stay?

toshiro: she reminded me to, before this mission started.

itachi smiled gently " I see. I thought so. Arigatou."

toshiro: you thought so?

itachi: 'our' dimension.

toshiro: I see.

Mariko: Elsa, Douglas. Come here.

Elsa and Douglas walked to mariko's front "hai."

Hanzan: first shinigamis. These two are the special chosen ones aren't they? The ones that aren't allowed to do anything other than obey.

Douglas turned back around "don't say it like that. That makes my life seem very sad. Like I have no choice in any matter."

Hanzan shrugs "well, it is the truth."

Douglas: this guy ... has no tact. Just like you, mariko-sama. Just says whatever he wants to us.

Mariko: I'm your master, that's different.

Douglas : hai hai. Complaints not even allowed huh.

"oh shut up." And mariko puts her hand into douglas' body. It wasn't like a hand that abruptly intruding into a body, like something stabbing through an obstacle. It was more like the hand went through as if it like the body wasn't real or solid, almost like a projection. She takes her hand out and he collapsed over, his body turning into red particles and returning to the red orb in mariko's hand. Mariko repeats this, putting her hand into Elsa as well. She held two red orbs in her hand.

Hanzan: you're going to fight me then. What if you die? Aren't you scared? Or do you just not know the concept because... you are arrogantly thinking that you are death itself?

The red orbs in mariko's hand absorbs into her palm. Her left arm had two tattoos that appeared 'E' and 'A' in a row, next to each other. "You are right, I am death itself, but you're wrong that I am arrogant and hence not afraid."

Hanzan: is that so?

Mariko materialises the sword that douglas held before "because you killed my Dai. I had to watch him die. You bastard, he didn't do anything to you."

Hanzan: hey, I used the blade you created to kill gods. I helped you to test the limits of it. You should thank me.

She squeezed the hilt in her hand. She charges towards him and made the blade in her hand change into a spear and throws the lightning charged weapon towards him "If only there was such thing as afterlives for gods!!!!" she screamed. Hanzan merely grinned at her anger "so much anger, all so futile." He said casually as he watched the spear fly towards him. He opens his hand and a bolt of yellow lightning materialises in his hand and he just casually throws the bolt towards the lightning spear. The bolt and the spear clashes. It causes a huge lightning storm reaching the sky and a loud sound of thunder was heard.

Hanzan laughed at the clash "Emulate, this is all it could do? Dai used it better, mariko."

But Hanzan knew better, fights between gods aren't over in just a second like that, he turned behind and sees mariko already put him in a box, much like a barrier she constructed. Hanzan laughed "Even using Emulate to make a distraction, you should at least make it better. So, what's this supposed to do? Keep me in? Really? I thought you knew me better than to do this. You can't really think just cos the ability is called Absolute Space, that this space really is so absolute that no one can break it."

Mariko: I am not that naïve.

"I really expected better." He walked towards to one wall of the box, specifically the one in between him and her "Maybe you shouldn't have sent your Trade to the other that side. Maybe you could sacrifice yourself in attempt to kill me, you know. Oh wait..." he stopped a while as if thinking "she's already back, oh. Under Finerie. Do you want me to give you a chance to kill me?" He continued to insult and jest as he approached the wall. With a light flick of his second finger, the barrier shattered "see."

Mariko: you really think you knew all of DEATH's abilities, don't you?

Hanzan walked towards mariko, the distance between started to close "I fought Dai and killed him. So, hurry up and become a good girl and just listen to me."

Mariko: what?

Hanzan stopped in his steps "ah. Gomen, I meant metaphorically that I wanted you to die. Can't have that, they will just create another Death god. Can't have that. So, let's keep you like a little doll."

Mariko summons back the weapon into her hand "I want something different. Let's have you die." All of a sudden black writing imitating seals started to spread from that finger he used to knock the barrier to the rest of his arm...

Kakashi sees niko come through the door "Niko. You're back? But Saiko Enma isn't done. How come you're back?" She doesn't answer.

Kakashi: niko?

*no reply*

Kakashi: niko. Daijobu?

She hugs him all of a sudden "do you miss me? Kakashi."

Kakashi: niko?

"Eggplant. I missed you. Why didn't you come find me? I know there's only a little bit of me left. But... I still only have memories of you in those little pieces of me."

Kakashi pulled her apart "yuki?" She looked up into his eyes "don't remember? Your mushroom eating wife." His tears fell down his cheeks, he cupped her cheek "yuki...why?"

Yuki: eggplant. Hug me. Please.

He hugged her tightly into his embrace. Tears fell down her cheek as well, her hand held onto a knife. Not any knife, the Soul Ripper. Her hand raised to stab this man. "nii..." she muttered softly as her hand swings down ...

*grabs wrist*

The knife was stopped. "little girls shouldn't play with knives. Especially when you don't know how to use one." a familiar voice spoke. It was gintoki.

Her other hand materialised her dual bladed scythe, except one side was broken. She swings her scythe towards gintoki. He blocked it with his wooden sword, she attempts again onto kakashi's life. But Kakashi held onto her wrist "come on. I'm sure you guys are watching."

"what a disappointment." They came out from the rift.

Kakashi: I assume you're here to take my life then.

Finerie: did you like it? This new doll I took in.

Kakashi: give her back to me.

Finerie: you'll be mine then?

Kakashi: I am not your puppet.

Finerie shrugged "what a pity this has to go down like that. You against us. Are you sure?"

Gintoki: don't ignore other people who are here asshole!!

Duke: you expected us. Your friends called you from the other side then.

Gintoki: and we aren't alone idiot.

The door slides open and there was, hijikata and sougo and another person they weren't told about.

Finerie: you knew we're coming and you don't even bother sending enmas? You send this kind of ... what's the word...

Peppi: small fry

Finerie: that's not polite to say, but yea.

Duke: who are you?

"I am someone you wouldn't like." He walked towards niko whose hand was being currently grabbed by Kakashi.

Eluse: didn't you get anything about him?

Finerie: no...

"I heard about your ability. That's probably because I don't really leave my house. I don't even really do Shinigami duties. I don't even understand why I was made one." he placed his hand onto niko's head.

Finerie starts to feel something wrong.

What is this... something is wrong. One of the contracts. I have never felt this feeling before. Like... something is broken. It couldn't be.

Finerie: what did you do?

Darius: what's going on? Daijobu? Finerie!! What did you do to finerie!!!

"My ability is Dissolution. To put it simply, it dissolves. It's a dangerous and annoying ability because it only wants to work in a special way. But I'm also thankful for that. I don't like so much of destroying things you see."

Eluse: he's one of the special first shinigamis. His name is Damien.

Damien: so, you do know me I see.

Niko starts to regain control of her own conscious. "arigato, Damien."

Damien: mariko-sama came to find me before she left. She said, you should know what to do when it comes.

Niko: I understand. I will.

Darius: what the... he one-sidedly destroyed finerie's contract.

Niko: now, are you sure you want to fight us?
