Kiki made a horrified face and pulled Mocha's hand from the collection of immense corn stalks. "No, no! Not actually putting your hand on the wall!" She whisper-shouted. She looked around cautiously. "You have no idea what you might rustle up doing that!" Taking Mocha's hand once again, she stepped along the same wall. "We just stay in line with it and we should be fine." She tensed with each step, the crackling of the grass and trampled corn stalks making FAR too much noise for her liking in the heavy silence. "In terms of dead ends... We just keep following the wall around it, even if it retraces our steps. The idea is that all the walls will eventually connect with the exit, so you just stay with it until you get on the right path."

Mocha stopped dead in her tracks. "That won't work, Kiki," she said, pointing at the dead-end that used to be a pathway behind them. "These walls move."

Kiki sighed heavily. "Why did I expe-" She bit back a scream as something crawled over the top of her feet, bare in her flats. She swallowed down the lump in her throat and tried again. "I expected that, but guessing won't get us anywhere either." She looked around at the cornstalks, which seemed to be swaying in a way that they seemed to be swallowing up the sky. "Then again, what else can we do? I think after it's had its fun, we'll be shown the exit, ne? So let's just continue and hope nothing finds us a tasty snack."

Mocha shrugged. "We're humans every day, right? So we have an advantage over everyone else who attempts this." She looked around. "I wonder how everyone else is doing? Have they even started, do you think?" The unasked question hung over their heads. Do you think we'll see anyone else while we're in here?

Toshiro, already well into the maze, turned a corner to find a long row with three openings on the sides before it dead-ended. He walked up to the first opening and glanced around the corner, but quickly drew back and drew Hyourinmaru. He had seen movement in the shadows!
Even though this maze had taken his shinigami powers from him and sealed his Zanpakuto temporarily he still retained the knowledge from his physical training. He charged in with his zanpakuto at the ready to lop off the head of whatever it was in the shadows.

Mocha heard rustling in the corn stalks. "Get down!" she hissed to Kiki, pulling her to the ground.

Pulled to the ground, Kiki slowed her breathing and focused on listening. She could hear something, it was faint; a slight pressure in the ground, rustling a few of the stray cornstalks around the corner. She stayed still as a stone, even halting her breathing for a time. "Mocha..." She whispered, as quietly as possible, "what do you think it is?"

He came into view of the two crouching in fear in the corner, his zanpakuto aimed at them, and he just stared, "....."

"I know what I hope it is, and I hope it's not what I think it is," Mocha breathed, holding her breath. Imagination was always worse than reality... right?

Kiki looked up at the figure clad in black, his slitted red eyes staring down at her in turn. She shuddered involuntarily. She wanted to speak, but all sounds were caught in her throat, trapped beneath a growing lump caused by fear. The sword pointed in her face was certainly not helping anything.

Mocha reacted a little differently than Kiki. She stood, grabbed the figure by the front of their shirt, and growled, "who are you and why do you have this?" She tapped the zanpakuto with her index finger, the scowl on her face contrasting oddly with the black diamonds over her eyes and slits stretching from her mouth, drawn in black make-up.

Kiki stared up at Mocha, eyes wide and brows reaching into her bangs from being raised so high.

Oo! He knocked her hand away out of reaction, "I have it because it's mine! What are you two doing here by yourselves? Where's your escort?!" Toshiro looked around to see if there was a host nearby.

Kiki's brows couldn't go any higher, but she jumped at the voice. "Captain!" She heaved a heavy sigh and put a hand over her heart as she stood up. "You scared us! You come rushing around the corner with Hyourinmaru pointed at us wearing..." She indicated to his outfit, "that!" She then blinked. "Escort? We're each other's escorts."

Mocha blinked warily. "Damn it." She slumped against the cornstalks. "You really are trying to give me a heart attack, aren't you?" She smiled a little. "What escorts? We come in pairs."
