A loud annoyance(Kisa)

[Reven]

Boom! That was the sound of unseated shinigami, Tensai Hinote being thrown into a building by a hollow leaving an imprint on the wall as Tensai got out of the imprint breathing heavily. The hollow he was facing appeared to be a fur ball with 12 large pink tentacles. The tentacles had cuts on them, but the body of the hollow had none. For thirty minutes strait Tensai has been fighting this creature with his enormous zanpakto and he hasn't been able to get to the main body because the tentacles were blocking every slash he threw. Tensai would have been able to hit the hollow if he knew some kind of kido, but sadly he didn't know how to control his spirit energy to use it.

Tensai would then rush towards the hollow preparing to throw a slash at the hollow, however the hollow brought up it's tentacles and when the zanpakto hit one of the tentacles, it was cut off. The hollow screamed in pain as it swung one of it's tentacles at Tensai sending him into the air. As Tensai was flying in the air, he gathered reishi on his finger tips to gain friction in the air to stop him self. At the rate this is going, Karakura town will be destroyed thought Tensai as he looked down at the hollow.

Kisamana was stood outside her shop with a clipboard in one hand, and a pen in the other. She signed on the dotted line at the bottom of the paper that was clipped to the clipboard in her hand. Handing it back to the man that had given the items to her, Kisa instructed Takada to unload the new supplies and put them on the proper shelves in her shop. She was well aware of the Hollow that was doing damage to the city near her quaint little convenience store. She shrugged it off when she felt the presence of a Shinigami. She had little to no respect for Shinigami, but despised Hollows with a great passion. So, she was hoping that the Shinigami would be able to rid the world of one more Hollow. However, it seemed to be taking too long… way too long…

Still, Kisa did not feel the need to personally intervene, but something needed to be done. It was obvious that the Shinigami was having difficulties. With a simple hand gesture, she instructed Ayana to help the Shinigami out.

“Hai, Fake Blondie-sama”

Kisa’s veins popped up from annoyance, she constantly reminded the woman that she did not like that name and even tried to explain that it was much to wordy to be a good nickname. She always got the same response, and could never rid herself of the childish woman’s nickname. But the only thing that mattered was that Ayana did as she was asked. The grown woman under the guise of a four-year-old sped off in the direction of the ongoing battle. She would arrive in time to see the man force himself to halt, high in the air and peer down at the Hollow that sent him there.

Ayana dashed down towards the Hollow with decent speed. She landed a roundhouse kick striking horizontally across the beast’s cheek. The monster let out a cry of pain as it swung at the little girl with one of its many tentacles. Ayana put up her forearms in an X-shape to reduce the amount of damage she’d take upon impact. She was forced back a few feet, but managed to keep her balance. She then went in closer to try and land another attack. She had her right hand balled up into a fist and as she was ready to strike at the creature’s dome, one of its tentacles intercepted the attack and took the blunt of the damage. The Hollow still felt the pain of her blow, but it didn’t hit the desired location. And to make things worse, the Hollow whipped its tentacle, flinging the little girl quite a distance. However, she managed to come to a stop in mid-air, similar to the way the Shinigami had done moments earlier. The Hollow stayed in its place. It apparently wasn’t as stupid as one might initially think. Instead of randomly attacking one opponent and leaving itself open for the other, it kept its position and would let one of them attack first. The little blonde girl would wait. The other guy had an abnormally large sword and would be able to hack away at the abundant tentacles and would hopefully give her an opening to deliver a skull crushing blow.

[Reven]

Is that a little girl? thought Tensai as he watched Ayana roundhouse kick at the hollow's check causing him to yell in pain as he pushed her away with one of his tentacles. The girl then rushed in for another attack but she was knocked back as far as Tensai and she stopped in mid air like Tensai. That's strange, how could someone so young be that strong and can stop herself in mid air? thought Tensai. As a shinigami, Tensai knew that would take a while to gain the strength to fight a hollow without a zanpakto and sadly he wasn't one of those shinigami

Then one of the hollow's tentacles headed straight towards Ayana and as his duty to protect the living, Tensai rushed towards the hollow and threw a slash at the tentacle which cut the tentacle off leaving a slight opening. However the hollow already had a back up plan incase one of his defenses failed. when the tentacle hit the ground, it started flapping up and down like a fish out of water until it stopped moving completely.

[Tagz]

Ayana watched as the man cut the hollows tentacle off. Then, it began flailing around. Ayana saw her opening. Though the creature had several more appendages, she was fairly confident that it missing one would make things a little more difficult for him. She dove in recklessly like always. Two tentacles came after her, one then the other. She managed to dodge both and get right under the furry beast. Dealing a nice uppercut at a spot that seemed like a chin, she would send the beast several feet into the sky. However, the hollow simply flipped itself and came zooming back down. Four tentacles came in at four different angles, attempting to spear the girl in place with no escape routes. Lack of unsurpassable speed prevented Ayana from dodging the attack. She was furious; would she really end up dying by the hands… or tentacles of a godforsaken hollow? She was too angry to call for Kisa’s help.

Meanwhile

Kisamana was helping Takada put away the new supplies. That is, until there was a shift in Ayana’s reiatsu. She knew that she was about to be severely injured. Kisa dug into her pocket and pulled out a tiny green pill. She popped the pill into her mouth and immediately, her soul departed from her Gigai. The soul that now inhabited her Gigai was a mod soul that always gave of a happy-go-lucky vibe. She dashed out the door to rush to Ayana’s aid, but she was too far. Even Shunpo wouldn’t be able to close the gap in time. She’d need someone to stall for her. The woman was fairly confident in her friend. If she wasn’t able to get out on her own, then someone nearby would have to come to the aid of a cute little girl. Whoever it would be didn’t matter.

[Reven]

I'm glad that she's helping me and not him thought Tensai as he watched the girl send the hollow into the air with an amazing super strength that even Tensai feared. Then he noticed the hollow flip himself in mid air and four of his tentacles came towards the girl in 5 different angles. Crap, I have to do something thought Tensai as he ran towards the girl and using his enormous zanpakto, Tensai swung at the hollow's tentacles hitting all four of them. If it wasn't for the fact that Tensai's zanpakto was huge enough to hit all four of them at the same time, then Ayana would have been hit by one of them.

Tensai would turn to the girl and asked "Are you alright?"

[Tagz]

Ayana braced herself for the worst. She saw no escape, only impending doom. Her eyes were squeezed shut for quite sometime. When nothing happened to her, she brought up the courage to open them, that’s when the stranger asked if she was alright. A wave of relief washed over her before she nodded, signaling that she was unharmed. It was at this point in time when Kisamana’s reiatsu could be felt. Within seconds, she would suddenly appear just beside the hollow. She’d disappear again and appear on the floor beside Ayana. Then, blood would spurt out from the hollow head as it separates in half, sliced horizontally. Kisa’s face paced movements were achieved via Shunpo. She would then place her right hand on the little girl, let out a sigh, remove her hand and turn to the already injured man.

“Oi… are you alright?”

The look she gave him was one a pit bull or Rottweiler would give to a Chihuahua that had just gotten its ass whopped by a poodle. The hollow was reduced to nothing more than spiritual energy and left a gash in the man. Kisa still held her Zanpakuto in her left hand.

[Reven]

"That's good" said Tensai as he suddenly felt heavy invisible force pressing down against his body. Then blood started to drip down his face, but it wasn't his blood, it was the hollow's blood. Before Reven was even able to turn around to see what happened, an attractive woman appearing in her early 20's appeared in front of Reven and next the the girl who he just saved. The woman would then face Reven and asked if he was alright while giving Tensai the impression that she thought that he was pitiful.

"I'll be alright, I guess" said Tensai as he noticed her zanpakto in her left hand. Great, just great. Another enemy thought Tensai in a sarcastic tone of voice. Tensai would then jump back to gain some distance and got into a defensive battle stance. "Who are you and why do you have a zanpakto? I know for a fact that I'm the only one that's supposed to be patrolling this area of Karakura town" asked Reven as he kept both of his eyes on the woman.

[Tagz]

Kisamana stared at the Shinigami as he confronted her about her Zanpakuto.

“Who said I was on patrol? Who said I was a Shinigami? I, my friend, am nothing of the sort. I pried this out of the cold dead fingers of a lowly Shinigami…”

Ayana looked up at Kisa with a shocked look on her face. She was wondering why the woman was trying to piss the Shinigami off. The reason for this was that she wanted to see how brave the man was. After seeing her kill a hollow without effort, a hollow that he and the little girl by Kisa’s side were struggling to defeat, would he actually try and avenge a fallen Shinigami whom he’d never met? That wouldn’t really be bravery. It’d be more of idiocy, ignorance, hotheadedness, but not bravery. Still, it’d be interesting to see his reaction. And, if that wasn’t enough to throw him into a pit of anger and rage, then her next action would. The woman raised her left arm, bringing up her Zanpakuto. She pointed it at the man and had an air of malice around her. Glaring the man down, she spoke.

“You sound like you don’t want me here. Little boy, what will you do when you come face to face with death?”

Kisa was trying to put a little bit of fear in the man. Which emotion would dominate and govern which action he’ll take next, was it fear, or rage? Either way, it would be interesting to see what the man would do. He could turn, run, and save his life. Or… he could stay and fight a hopeless battle… decisions, decisions…

[Reven]

"Did you kill this lowly shinigami?" asked Tensai as he remained in his battle stance ready to defend himself at a moments notice. He honestly had no idea what her game was and attacking head on without asking any questions would be a foolish move. As a shinigami, I can't harm living humans and I can't tell if she's alive or not just by what she's wearing. God, I wish I knew how to sense spirit energy thought Tensai as he watched her bring up her zanpakto and point it at him.

"Well if I ever confront death, I'll face it her head on when she makes her move like any member of the 11th Divison!" said Tensai proudly. He had a feeling that she was referring to herself as death and there was a little hidden meaning behind what Tensai just said. If Kisa attacked, Tensai would fight back.

[Tagz]

Was he implying that he’d take her head on if she attacked? He wouldn’t run away with his tail between his legs? Oh! He was from the eleventh squad. That made perfect sense. Having been a former Shinigami, a Captain Shinigami at that, she knew full well that the eleventh squad was filled with stubborn, battle starved brutes. No matter, he didn’t seem to be all that powerful. Though it had been several decades since she was in the Soul Society, she probably would have been able to recognize him if he was one of the higher up Shinigami. The fact that she had no idea who he was and the fact that he struggled with a single hollow meant that he was probably in a low seat, or not seated at all; but still, the most members of the eleventh squad don’t think clearly.

Kisa couldn’t help but chuckle at his words, nor could she help but test his words out. After all, some people walk the walk, others talk the talk. Which one was he? He didn’t seem like the type who had a bite worst then their bark, and his bark was pretty loud. With the use of Shunpo, she appeared directly in front of the man. Her Zanpakuto jabbed forward, aiming to impale him in his left shoulder. Whether she succeeded or not, she returned to her original position beside Ayana using the same technique.

[ooc: … *sigh* sorry about the constant short posts I’ve been giving you…]

[Reven]

Flash step! thought Tensai as she suddenly disappeared and appeared right in front of him. Tensai would then feel a sharp pain as she impaled his left shoulder and then appeared right next to the girl he saved. He would then hold his zanpakto with his left hand as he used his right hand to put pressure on his wound. She may be better at speed, but let's see how well she dose with power thought Tensai as he ran towards Kisa jumped into the air. While he was in the air, he would start to fall towards Kisa. When he was close enough to hit, he would swing his huge zanpakto at her head using the weight of the huge zanpakto to increase the power of the hit.

[Tagz]

Kisamana stared at the man with disbelief. Did he actually take a Zanpakuto to the chest without at least raising his up to block it? What in the world was she doing fighting a child like this? It wasn’t fair. She couldn’t kill him without it affecting her conscience. No… she’d let him off the hook… after all… it wasn’t like he was trying to start a fight.

Just as the thought entered Kisamana’s mind to turn and leave the area, she tossed that thought out the window. If only he didn’t fight back. At least now she knew that he wasn’t just all talk, he really would throw away his life just so he doesn’t have to lose his self respect. Was this to be admired or pitied? The woman neither knew nor cared. The only thing on her mind was if she should take one of his limbs back with her to send a message to the stubborn man.

Deciding against it, she simply raised her Zanpakuto above her head and held it horizontally with only her right hand. His heavy blade collided with hers and a loud clashing sound could be heard. Despite the size difference, her Zanpakuto held up even better than his. However, instead of slicing through his blade, she simply positioned it so that it would fall harmlessly to her left side. The moment his oversized sword smashed into the ground she placed her hand on the hilt, resting it just above his own grip on the sword. She then proceeded to knee him in the gut, hopefully forcing him to fly several feet back. Her grip prevented him from taking his Zanpakuto with him. Having been within the Soul Society, having been within the Seireitei, having gone through all the ranks of a Shinigami there were, she knew full well what it took to even graduate from the academy and wear the Shinigami uniform, seated or not. She was simply testing out the boy. She had no lost all intentions she had of killing him after seeing his weak display of miniscule power… if you could even call it that. She wanted to see how proficient he was in using Kidô. To test this out, she’d start things off herself. Kisa pointed at Tensai with both her index and middle fingers. Then, a blast of white lightning would head zooming towards the man’s chest. She wanted to see what Kidô he’d counter with. She had seen her fair share of Kidô, and though it was never her most skilled aspect, she was still fairly confident in whether or not she’d recognize whatever Kidô he’d use to defend himself with.

---

Ayana watched as the events unfolded. She felt a little bad for the Shinigami. She had no ill will towards any Shinigami, and knew that Kisa didn’t either. So why was she harassing the poor boy like this? What was going on in her head? This was all a mystery to the forty-year-old woman. She had no clue why the woman she looked up to with so much admiration was doing this to the boy. She did, however, no that Kisa either had a very good reason for doing this, or somehow, someway, developed a sick and twisted sense of humor. All that was left for Ayana to do was pray that the correct answer was the first one instead of the second.

[Reven]

When Tensai's zanpakto hit Kisa's zanpakto, he noticed that there was a huge difference in strength between him and her when her zanpakto held better than his. His zanpakto would the slide off the blade and smashed the ground. Then he noticed a hand on top of the hilt , and it wasn't his it was hers! He was then kneed in the gut sending him several feet back. Tensai ould cough up blood before he started getting up which showed the huge difference of power between the 2. Crap! I don't have my zanpakto thought Tensai as he noticed it on the ground.

Then a white flash of lighting fired from Kisa's fingers and sadly Tensai's was never able to use kido due to the lack of control of his spirit energy which is shown from his oversized zanpakto. Tensai would jump to the right to avoid the attack and ran towards his zanpakto to pick it up. Once he did, he rushed towards the former captain attempting to thrust his sword into her chest.

[Tagz]

Kisa tossed his Zanpakuto aside. When the man ducked out of the way, picked it back up, and charged her with a straight forward attack, she had a puzzled look on her face. Why was he not using any tactics, any Shikai abilities, or even a Kidô? No, he seemed determined to bring the woman down by swinging around an oddly sized Zanpakuto. Kisamana just let out a sigh. Wind began wildly spinning around her own Zanpakuto. The blade was masked by dust, but when things calmed and it was once again within view, there was a change that everyone could notice. Though her blade remained the same color – if not, then it was whiter – the hilt was much different. The wrist guards were black and outlined with white, and there was a pearly, sky blue ball trapped at the end of the hilt. Kisa figured, if he wasn’t going to step his game up, she’d do it for him…

Kisamana bent slightly forward and moved a step to her right with blinding speed. Before he would have a chance to redirect his attack, Kisa would move forward and swung her sword upward. Her Zanpakuto was aimed for the man’s Zanpakuto. She’d slice right through it, leaving it at about a quarter of its original length. Then she’d suddenly stop her motion and move back a little. This wasn’t something to be happy about. She moved her torso backwards, forcibly extending her foot forward. Her foot would connect with the man’s gut once again. Her powerful kick sent him flying backwards into the side of a building. Dust and debris from the building rose up as he left a small crater in the side of the building. Kisa then swung her sword once. This created a crescent-shaped wave of white water to shoot forth, aiming to slice through the man’s body. It also caused a wide-eyed stare from a frightened woman who thought she was about to see the death of her savior.

---

Ayana didn’t want to Kisa attacking a man that had saved her life, but she also didn’t want to take the ‘little kid’ thing too far and get in the woman’s way. She just kept praying that Kisa had a reason for doing all this. She also prayed that the man would stop holding back and realize that if he didn’t do something, he just might die.

---

Time seemed to freeze as Tensai soon found himself surrounded by darkness.

‘Fool, what are doing? Are you actually going to get us killed that bitch?’

A moment of silence would ensue to let the disgust of whoever owned the voice Tensai was her sink in.

‘Baka(idiot)… this will not continue’

With that, a sudden blast of a larger amount of reiatsu would erupt from Tensai’s body. However, Tensai was no longer in control. Who was you ask? There’s a simple answer to that question. It was Waketsu was. Who is Waketsu you ask? That’s another easy question to answer. Waketsu was a creature whose skin was gray. His hair was white and spiky. His sclera were black, as was his pupil, as for the iris, it was a brilliant golden color. Oddly enough, he had both black teeth and tongue. Grotesque, wasn’t it? Regardless of his inward appearance, he looked different now. Though his facial features, body size, and most other aspects were the same as they always were, the coloring was off, and for the better. His skin seemed more lively instead of pasty and ghost-like as they usually were. Even Waketsu thought so. He couldn’t help but think of how wonderful it’d be if this body was his, permanently. However, it was still too weak. He wasn’t going to go through all the trouble of getting the strength on his own. No, he was much too lazy for that. He’d let Tensai gain the strength and power he needed before he decided to take the lead role in this wonderful play called life.

There was something odd that could easily be noticed. This Shinigami now had a white mask on. A white mask that was similar to a hollow’s. What in the world was going on? How was this possible? There were many people in the world who knew the answer to those questions; in fact, two of them were standing right in front of the man.

The Vision of a Hollow
The mask that he wore was quite creepy, to be truthful. It wasn’t segmented, so it whether his mouth was open or not was hidden away from view. It had dark brown linings and golden pupils shining out from the darkness of the eye sockets.

Another surprising happening was that the sword that had just recently been sliced in two was once again whole. With his renewed blade, Waketsu stepped forward, away from the wall. With a single swipe of his large Zanpakuto, he cut through the water. Though he still felt the pressure of the water blow by him, he managed to hold still and act as though it didn’t affect him at all. Waketsu then raised his giant Zanpakuto and let it rest on his shoulder. With his increased speed, he had full confidence in that he would be able to deflect the speedy woman’s attacks should she try that disappearance act with him. Waketsu then gave the woman a sadistic grin; unfortunately, it would go unnoticed thanks to the frightening mask he now wore. Then, Waketsu spoke. His voice was hoarse and vibrated as though there were several people speaking simultaneously.

[glow=dimgray,2,300]“Well, hello there.”[/glow]

Despite his raspy voice, Kisa could tell that it was filled with cockiness and arrogance. This was soon after followed by a small giggle fit of malice intent.

[glow=dimgray,2,300]“I'm going to enjoy slicing through that pretty body of yours.”[/glow]

Now in control of Tensai’s body, Waketsu was calling the shots. He’d do things much differently than Tensai had…

---

Both Kisa and Ayana looked on in shock as the dust cleared, revealing a slight change in the man’s appearance. He was now wearing a mask. Both Kisa and Ayana were familiar with the reasons for this rare occurrence, but they were both caught completely off guard. Though the change in appearance was slight, there was a drastic change in the man’s reiatsu. It was much stronger than before, and seemed to be under better control. No, no, this just won’t do. Kisamana made sure that she’d keep tabs on him at all times…

Ignoring his annoying comment, she sent two more waves of water by slashing at the air in the direction of the man… demon… hollow… thing. She then used Shunpo once again to appear high into the sky. She knew that the hollow wouldn’t hesitate to kill what it most likely assumed was a six-year-old girl. So to prevent this extremely unwanted incidence, Kisa would distance herself from Ayana. And, if he attacked her anyways, than she’d be back down there, cutting off his head within a second, Vizard or not…

[Reven]

"Too slow!" shouted Waketsu with an arrogant look on his fave as he spun to his left to avoid the first wave of water and jumped over the second wave of water. The Kisa disappeared with flash step and appeared over Waketsu. He honestly didn't care about the girl and started to look around and since she was high in the air, it would take a while for her blade to reach him. When he figured out that she was up in the air, he looked up and noticed her in the air.

Then using his right hand, he would point his index finger at her and his thumb was in the air. Then a black glow emitted from his index finger. "Bang!" yelled Waketsu as he fired a black cero from his index finger at the air born woman.
