" Which one?" He asked knowing there were several shinigami here.

"One of the higher ups," Stark said with a grin, before he fired his gun at one of the cats.

Yoruichi scattered with the other cats that she had been hiding with and hurried toward the shop. She hadn't been hit but knew she still was in great danger in this form.

Stark tsked as he missed, but had a feeling that he would get another chance. "Follow her. You should be able to find Claudia if you do," he said.

( sorry about not posting much last night. My Internet was acting up. )

The Arrancar followed the black cat and wanted to succeed. He did wonder what would happen if he defected and helped the enemy. He figured anything would be better than being pushed around by those who were higher ranked than he was.

(It's alright.)

Yoruichi kept hidden amongst the other cats, but knew that the Arrancar was still somehow picking up her scent, or her reiatsu. Therefore she led him to an abandoned alleyway where she knew no one would see a cat transform into a naked woman.

The Arrancar was feeling panicked when he lost the cat. " I'm in big trouble now. I can't go back but I can't stay here."He thought and continued his search. There had to be a reason to why the cat went missing.

"You, why are you following me?" Yoruichi asked as she appeared out of the shadows.

" If I didn't I would have been killed. " The Arrancar said. " Please don't kill me. " He added and hoped Staark wasn't anywhere near here.

( What teams in the NFL do you like again? I have a feeling that the Lions will be playing them eventually. )

(We play you tomorrow. No hard feelings win or lose?)

"And why shouldn't I kill you?" Yoruichi asked.

( no hard feelings. )

" I don't want to go back. I have no name and I want to live long enough to get one. " The Arrancar said honestly.

"And if I were to give you one?" Yoruichi asked, still guarded just in case something happened.

" I would be forever grateful . I would also help you fight Gin. " He said. He didn't like Gin and what he did with his power.

"You would, really?" Yoruichi asked surprised.

" I would." The Arrancar said .

"Just for a name...you would change everything?" Yoruichi asked, surprised at his conviction. Seeing him nod, she thought for a few seconds. "Do you have a shikai release?" she asked.

" I do. His name is Fire from the Heavens. I'm glad he at least has a name ." The Arrancar said.

"A male Arrancar with a fire-based Zanpakuto...hm...how about Tenkou?" she asked.

" I like that name." He said and was happy to have a name.

"Well...at least we don't have to worry about you for the moment, though that other Arrancar is still a problem, assuming he hasn't left yet," she said.

" He hasn't. Not until I come back." Tenkou said feeling nervous.

"So we don't have to worry about him now?" Yoruichi asked, hoping that was the case. She didn't want to fight someone on his level by herself. She was good, but not that good.

" We don't. He'll eventually get bored and go back to Hueco Mundo. But I fear Gin himself will come looking for me. " Tenkou said.

"And Claudia would still be in trouble as well," Yoruichi said while sighing. "You might as well follow me back for now, I'll deal with Kisuke."

Tenkou followed Yoruichi and hoped things would go well. Though he figured anything the Shinigami would do to him was better than what Gin would do.
