Isshin looked at Kisuke trying to find some way to explain this. Kisuke just acted oblivious to his stares.

"Erm... well the girls were attacked by a Hollow. While trying to save them Ichigo got a Shinigami injured and she gave him her powers to save them." he started to explain what lead up to the current situation.

Masaki looked nervous since she still hadn't see Ichigo unlike everyone else.

"Then two Shinigami came to take the female Shinigami away and attacked Ichigo and his friend while destroying the source of Ichigo's Shinigami powers." he continued before glancing at Kisuke again.

"Then Kisuke helped him regain his powers and created a portal for Ichigo, his friends and Yoruichi to travel to Soul Society so they can save her and bring her back." he finished.

"Are you two crazy?" she asked them.

"Well I hid the Hōgyoku in the gigai that the Shinigami Kuchiki Rukia used fusing it with her soul." Kisuke explained.

"So that is how Aizen is trying to get his hand on it?" she asks him.

"Well... Yoruichi is there to help them." he tries to justify. Masaki glare at her husband.

"And how is just she supposed to keep them safe?" she asks.

"They're stronger than you think and I had to be here to take care of our daughters and he didn't know about our background." he said nervously.

"There is nothing I can do now, but if they don't come back safely. So help me..." she says threatening most of all to Isshin.

"It wasn't quite at equilibrium right away. I almost died when the Hollow side burst out and almost went on a rampage if I hadn't been stopped." she clarified.

"Although it's a lot like the Visored this shouldn't be possible because unlike Shinigami where it is hard, but possible, her Quincy spirit power should clash with the Hollow part until she died. However, somehow with your Shinigami power having suppressed it and slowly allowing it to integrate over time instead of at once it succeeded. She is probably the first person to succeed instead of die, probably the last too." he says.

Both Masaki and Isshin don't look like they follow a lot of it and just kind of nod along with what he is saying as he speaks his mind mostly for his own benefit. Meanwhile Masaki releases the transformation turning her back to normal again.

"I'd love to get some measurements to see just how the two are blending while you maintain your transformed state." Kisuke says.

Masaki frowns as that is just about the least of her priorities right now.

"Maybe we can do that some other time." she said reluctantly, more concerned about her son than satisfying Kisuke's curiosity for now. Although she eventually would want more information about what she had become she couldn't focus on that right now.

Kisuke ended up leaving not much later leaving the two alone where Masaki just shot Isshin one last glare as she headed to the bedroom while he knew he didn't have much of a choice beyond trying to coax her over the next few days and hopefully make some progress at calming her down.

- Back in Hueco Mundo -

Hisashi had just finished fighting another small group of Gillian. He kept avoiding large groups. because although he was far more powerful than a regular Gillian and was able to trick most of them quite easily if he were to be surrounded by dozens of them all firing their Cero at him at once it was still very likely he could end up dead. Also with those three Adjuchas chasing him down even if it didn't leave him dead it very well could leave him injured and recovering while they find him.

So instead he looked for small groups of stragglers on their own that he could pick off instead. Although this was much slower it was so much safer and though in a rush he wasn't in a rush to die.

'Oh shit!' Hisashi thought as he suddenly got the warning at the last moment.
