Raidon felt terrible as Toma cried. Then, without thinking, he hugged her. Time seemed to slow as the hug continued.
"Please, don't cry." Rai said in the most gentle voice he could. "The worst thing someone can do is make a girl cry." Toma turned a slight red, tears runing down her face. Then she closed her eyes and hugged back.

Taichi watched the scene unfold. The arrancar he brought with him was feasting on the remains of the Stealth Squad that followed Raidon.
"Hey, Tokage." Taichi called. Tokage looked up and crawled towards him. "Have you ever tasted Royal Blood?" Tai smirked as looked down at his minnion. Tokage only grinned even more inhumanly as he scratched a bloodstained tooth.

The hug ended when they both backed away, faces bright red. They both looked around, as if someone viewed the whole thing. Raidon scratched his nose, face still red. He was about to say something, when a familiar voice cut through the pouring rain.
"You still have a heart when you're a criminal. Amazing. Wish I could say the same." Taichi said loudly as he jumped from the roof. Tokage followed him closely. All the new arrancar did was grin broadly as he stared at Toma.
"Um... dad? What are you doing?"
"Lord Aizen wants your power. Either you join us, or you have a one-way ticket to hell."
Raidon summed up the situation. He remembered that he couldn't fight because the Spirit Shackle on his ankle restricts his spritual pressure, kido, and Flash Step. Then he had an idea. Rai laughed as he said aloud:
"Tell Aizen to go **** himself!"
Taichi began to laugh as well.
"The good always die young!" he said.
