A breath of fresh air (open and yet no killing)

The burning light of the sun, passionately with life and the every rays brimming down upon a young man’s elegantly tan skin as the boy escaped the dark shadows of a Garganta, a rift though space between the dimsonals of the different worlds of the three warning races of the cosmos. Aki eyes approaching their dilated states of adjustment. It was a certainly a rare sight for this boy of beauty to witness, the real sun which he had only heard about it in his life inside the world of Hueco Mundo. There he feared not for the false shine nor the real blight of the moon light but here it was a true gift from the heavens that gave this land of lowly mortals the comfort of life. Aki did not know how to express to first time in the human world, just with a moment of taking it all in before coughing at a different notice. This world certainly had a lower concentration of spiritual particles and it caught aki off guard with discomfort, taking a moment to regain his comspure he step further into the green grass between his shoeless feet.

His frame and appearance the very definitions of male beauty, tall and well developed the physic of a Greek good with him proudly showing it off with a shirtless attire of his upper body and a tighter white pants with a royal purple ripped cape flowing down from his waist. His mid long ebony hair messy and free flowing along the light dancing gust of the real world’s atmosphere, taking a good glace with his lavender eyes as he slowly proceeded into with a light work. Aki was far from the a human town and thus kept to himself and nothing really to hold back his power in fear of harming anyone else that had not earned his wrath, it was his first time and the human world and it was certainly something to note in his journal when he got back to his private room. With him being here the was really no other reason that he was meant to be doing at the moment, no mission or meeting or any real duty in this world he was suppose to do, it was just that he wanted to visit some new place outside the boring routine of his normal day. Being head command of something was certain not all it was crack up to be, certainly for one like Aki that gave all the duty to another to handle while he kept to himself and played to his heart desire.

Walking just a few meters away from where he arrived the Espada found an odd sight to behold, tress with greenery and colored brown, unlike those ones back in his own world made of white quartz. Walking up to them and touching their brown bark Aki felt a kind of quite kindles about them, not sure what he was, maybe it was due to his power over such the elements of tress and other lively organisms or due to his own soul’s kind nature that Aki felt at ease around such simple forms of life. Whatever it was 0 just wanted to sit and take it in for a moment or two, just sitting along the base of the crown as the shade cooled off his tan skin shaded from the sun.

Soul society was getting far to much,the work load never stopped then came the call of a minor hollow attack in the human world and for some reason they called on a captain to deal with it, Akki had no idea why it had to be her but it gave her a chance to escape for a while and also possibly find something of interst to study, she had spent so little time here that everything facinated her, Finding the hollow was easy enough, it was making enough bother to track with her eyes closed and taking it down was even easier. Afterwards Akki decided she was going to explore which brought her to a crop of trees, while wandering around she was sure that she could feel something not right a reitsu that did not belong but she just shrugged it off, sturdying the plant life and wildlife in the area, on several occassions she looked up still feeling something was wrong, while stopping to catch a rabbit, Akki looked up once again and was sure this time she saw something or someone walking among the tree.

She crept closer hoping it would not just be her imagination of the constant tiredness she felt from the work load playing tricks on her as she approached she spotted it and felt it at the same time this thing, she couldnt make out quite what it was yet was the thing making her feel so off. closer and cloaser she crept trying to stay low and quiet her hand instinctivly falling to the hilt of her zanpaktou, she was now within a good range to see what it was, at first she thought it was just a human out for a walk, so she strated to relax then she caught a proper look, an arrancar, she had seen an arrancar in the real world, how ever unlike everyother Shinigami out there Akki would not charge in an want to fight it, no she wanted to stay at a distance for the time being and study the arrancar as it did what ever it was doing, since for the time being it was posing no threat to her or the people of this world, it would also be a good chance to gather some much needed data. Akki reached up and pushed her finger into her left eye activating the recording mode in her mechanical eye, she then sat in the shadows and retrived a small note pad and pen from within her cloak and started to write down as much as she could about the arrancars actions.

Koujetsu sighed as he lay down, staring up into the sky among the shade of the trees. Soul Society... it seemed like such a long time ago. The fun, the laughs. Over two thousand years he spent there, protecting that world, and then in one day his entire life turned upside down. Two hundred years he spent on the run, and another hundred in hiding. Finally, he managed to escape for the time being. This was the first time in over a hundred years that he was able to sit outside and watch the clouds.

Slowly grabbing his Zanpaktou which lay next to him, Koujetsu sat up, moving as little as possible. There was no reason for alarm yet, but a distinct Shinigami spiritual pressure came into the area quite quickly. Stretching his senses, he felt a.. disturbance was the only way to put it. A pressure that should not exist, existed. And the control, the slow flow of it.. Koujetsu grimanced.

Espada. There was no other pressure that felt this twisted. He grimanced again and disappeared. That slight burst of his reiatsu should intrigue the Espada enough to come and investigated.

But first, he needed to move out of the woods. His Bankai was too dangerous to use in such a gorgeous area of nature. Kouejtsu reappeared on the far side of the forest, in the middle of a plains and sat down, waiting and meditating.

Aki was enjoying this time alone for the while for as long as he could, the slowly moving sounds of the wind blowing across his ears with the bright sun just touching between the leafs of his shade on his endlessly cold skin, his back just preched under a large tree as he felt a strange menacing power that might have disrupted his little getting away time. Though at a certain distance the odd fountain of power just stopped its advancement from what Aki could sense,, its signal just flickering in and out so it could have just his imagation playing with him either and his overly devpoled sense picking up on something small, or the powerfully forcing trying to hide its idenity. Didn’t seem to matter as he was being left alone to his own little workings so what ever was there didn’t appear to want to brother him and thus Aki would not bother whatever was there. This could have been an act of stupidity, ignoring a possible the threat that could endanger himself but he justified as holding onto whatever time if peace the solider had in a war time such as this, just a break from the fighting that he was destined to live with as an Espada. However something else fascinated his sense, this time seemly having some hostileld towards the man, less control though a little more frightening from the feel of it, Aki was unsure of what he was feelings, it was similar to that of any other Arrcane though at the same time different kind of mixture, it felt more like a shinigami then anything else though the undeniable sensation of an hollow was present. Aki had only heard of such a union in one kind of spiritual being before and though it was apparently a rare case to happened they did existed. The reports that Aki got from his scouts confirmed them without a doubt. Aki wanted to meet one or at the very least a live one not being torn apart for research.

The new wave of power was a little further then his current location so aki chose to take his time exploring the forest and keeping his own spiritual pressure down in order to at least spot whatever was out there first before engaging in any kind of confrontation. Though the tress and along the river toward a large formation of natured curved stones Aki found his way reaching ever closer to the edge of the southern end, still not finding what he was suppose to have been looking for. Aki stopped his stroll for a minute to just glance around his location for a minute before trying to sense out the newcomer out.

"Akki-taichou, don't you believe you should be a tad bit more mindful of your blindside? Even a Captain like yourself doesn't have 360 degree vision. That I know of at least."

Zibishi's tone was calm, but informal as he kept his reiatsu masked. He had been slowly training his comrade for awhile, and his eyes became fixated on what Akki was looking at. An Arrancar slowly moving through the human realm. The enemy walked calmly, without malicious intent, but Ming was careful not misinterpert that for simply being lazy. What did the Hollow want out in the middle of the forest? He shrugged his shoulders as he took a step close to Akki and lowered the tone of his already hushed voice.

"Have you found any clues to the reasons this Hollow has decided to infiltrate the Human realm? He has no Fraccion which is strange as well."

Zibishi stretched as he waited for Akki's respone. He was not familiar with the 12th Division captain or any captain for that matter, but he would leave the small conversation for after this hollow was dealt with. Zibishi felt another ripple in the environment's reiatsu as his eyes scanned around for the very faint almost, undetectable reiatsu. He wondered who else could've possibly in the forest with them. He sighed as he felt eager, but at the same time slightly nervous. Only a high ranking Arrancar, maybe an Espada would venture to the human world, just out in the open. He gripped on his zanpaktou and awaited to see the next moves of the Hollow.

Akki spun round at the voice behind her,another captain just what she needed she made a low bow and placed a finger over her lips to silence her comrade.

"Hush quiet down, do you want us to be spotted, and as for not watching my blindspots i noticed you before you noticed me, i had set up a small device to let me know if anything came upon me" she never took her eyes to the arrancar the whole time, she dared not look away less she loose this chance to study and observe, thats when something tingled at the edge of her senses, another presense this one not such an empty twisted feeling this one felt similar to the captain standing next to him yet different at the same time, Akki looked at her fellow captain with a look that said to be on guard once again her hand fell to her zanpaktou. Then the arrancar started to move as if looking for something, Akki slowly and carefully started to move as well making sure to tread lightly.

As she moved she motioned for Ming to follow then the worst thing happened she stepped on a twig and it broke under foot sending a resounding crack through the tree's , Akki swore under her breath and ducked behind a tree hoping Ming would be quick enough to do like wise. she then quickly reached up and deactivated the recorder in her eye and activated the infrared, that way she could keep an eye on this even in consealment, the world around her became a wash of blues and reds, the reds showing any heat signtures, she quickly had to deactivate it, the weather was to warm and to many heat signatures to make proper life form out properly, she just prayed that she hadn't been spotted and that the other being in the forest wasn't looking for trouble.

Zibishi was slightly surprised that he hadn't noticed the device his fellow taichou had set up. He would have to work on his awareness and stealth skills. Zibishi let out a small breath of preparation and tightened his grip on his zanpaktou as he lowered himself to the ground right beside Akki. He glanced for a second over to her eyes and followed their line of sight to the Arrancar, now Zibishi followed the Hollow with a keen eye. His pressence made him uneasy, but Zibishi didn't let that show as he awaited for another response from Akki on the situation. The breeze picked up as Zibishi's jet black hair began to move gently in the wind. He liked the feeling, but had to remain focused on the Hollow.

He followed Akki's motion and loosened the grip on his zanpaktou noticing he had been holding it as if his life was in immediate danger. It might've been, but hopefully Ming would find out later, rather than sooner. He moved slowly behind Akki taking soft gentle steps on the soft Earth that was made up of short, dry grasses and fallen leaves. They moved on a few more meters apparently closer to the Arrancar's position before Akki stepped on a twig snapping it with unintended force. Zibishi shunpo'd on a tree branch that was directly adjacent from Akki. He held his breath and put one hand on his sheath and the other on his hilt as he expected a violent response from the Arrancar. Two Captains would be enough for an Arrancar, even an Espada or so Zibishi thought.

Seconds passed with no response and Zibishi looked over to Akki and motioned for new details. Did she still have a visual? Where was the Arrancar? Had he noticed the snapping of the twig? Ming slightly wished in his gut that the blow of the wind had masked the sound.

Focusing with his mind set to find the odd wave of power Aki’s attention now being drawn in the other two signals he thought he could have ignored, hoping that they would ignore him in return. However it appeared as their location had shifted since last when the Espada took note of them and in fact it appears as though they were following him which he should have expected nothing less from him trying just to act in a normal away. Guessed the boy should have known better then to be bring himself without means of concealing himself. Signing at his misfortune there was nothing else he could do now but now all he thought he could do is defend himself and act according in order for his own survival against other odds as he seemed to be outnumber. The presences of those two after hearing a large snapping twig nearly were so small he would have mistaken them for just dead zones he had not already been keeping track of them when he first felt those forces as he walked further into the forest. Aki quickly turned around facing the direction of the sound that was coming from. Both of them would have been more than likely hiding themselves behind the cover of the many woods, his hands covering over his face glowing a bright purple flare emitting force of powerfully energy, clenching his fist with the energy as he began to form into his attack force. Aki wanted to give them a fair warning encase something, anything that would help avoid the conflicted if any means if it could be avoided.

“I suggest whoever is following be to take better care of yourself when hiding, get ready” he shouted to the back of the woods as he fired off the bolts of razor sharp energy hardened into attacks that flew ten at a time with a grand total of thirty. Heading for the tree that Akki was hiding behind as it was the last location of the sound. The arrows of kido like damage would puncture the wood of the tree fairly easily and then pace though the next set of trees as they were strong enough to cause the damage he needed to defend himself. The tinted purple bolts hissing though the woods with tremendous speed rushing into towards their target and hopefully not to cause too much harm as the tree that the female captain was hiding in would be utterly destroyed.

((::Insert post here::

Ill post when I get the chance. Probably tonite if Im lucky. ill just have someone delete this post and make my true one))

the attack came without warning and Akki was slow to react, the purple blasts shot through the tree splintering it in an instant she moved as quick as she could but once of the blasts grazed her left arm drawing blood another directly hit her right hand with a wir and a mechanical drone the hand exploded, if the arrancar didnt know the exact location they did no, Luckly for Akki the hand that was hit was her modified one but it annoyed her to no end how much work it would take to replace, plus wielding a zanpaktou with her left hand was going to be hard. She hit the ground rolling to find more cover in the deep undergrowth, she didnt want confrontation or a battle unlike most shinigami Akki would have been happy to just talk to the arrancar and find out more about them. Akki quickly glanced around looking for ming but the splintered wood was to thick in the air for her to see, she then slowly rose to her feet

"Wait i mean no harm, i was just studying your kind facinate me" she hoped her voice didn't sound as shakey as she felt. A lump started to form in Akki's throat, she didn't know why she was getting unnerved she was a captain and such things shouldnt worry her, plus she had a second captain as back up if things did kick off where ever ming might be.

Zibishi was not in a curious mood as he shunpo'd over to another tree a few meters off and now he was almost on a straight attack line with the Espada. He watched as the trees he and his companion had been occupying were cut down into small woodchips. Fragments of themselves. He sighed as the dust from the trees began to finally settle. His eyes scanned the forest level and he instantly spotted Akki with a wound. He instantly began an incantation of a Kido, but paused once it seemed like his fellow captain was trying to establish contact with the Hollow. It was understandable, her being the research captain and all, that she wanted to probably learn more about their foes, but Zibishi personally knew enough about them. His reiatsu had been hidden ever since the Espada had been charging up his attack. He was now in an awkward position as sweat began to form on his brow and the wind began to die down. He rested on one knee on his new branch and pondered his options.

He had the perfect angle to at least startle the Espada and maybe bind him a strong Kido, but he would hear the encantation and it didn't look like Akki wanted to forcefully capture him. She also had no way of knowing where he was at so for now the young small captain relaxed a little bit more, but remained focused on Akki and the Espada.

Aki was charging in for his next counter strike, just awaiting for the person that he just attacked to make some kind of reaction, or even the other that now hid himself well enough to take a back seat to Aki’s notice as the newly exposed face of the one behind the tree appeared as the cloud of wood faded. He was about to make a firing greeting when he stopped to hear this women’s words of peace. Well partly peacefully as she wanted to apparently wanted to study him, this sounded rather odd coming from someone supposed to be an enemy. Did she want to capture him and open him up like some kind of test monkey and see what makes him tick? Aki really did not want treat like an experimental bug but he thought about this act being rather flattering and somewhat kinder then what he would get from a shinigami, might as well give her a chance to explain herself. Despising the energy along his energy and walking up to her in a non threatening manner just a meter away from her location he would negotiate the meaning of her worlds.

“ So miss Shinigami how did you intend to study me? Cutting me up like a high school bio frog? Or like a lion displayed in the zoo cause either way it really don’t like to be put into such a humiliating circumstance, so if you intend any way of harming me then I’ll defending myself without question, i’m sure you would do the same in the face of a butter enemy. Oh and did you bring another person with you? Or was that sensation just a decoy you sent to distract me long enough for you to sneak you up on me like that?” Aki spoke with a mild tone softer then what he was normal tone of battle.

Akki listened to the Arrancars little speech and shrugged her shoulders, "Well those options did cross my mind but i've no need to cut you up you after all are just hollow with a human body no?" She said with a grin. She then looked at her surroundings and at the mess made, then down to her missing hand "I was only intending to watch and observe you after all gathering data and processing it is what i live for and it's not often i get to study something as different as you, its not everyday and arrancar, no thats not quite right is it and Espada, yes you are an Espada, comes here I don't know what you were planing to do here or nor did i care but you blew my hand up and it will take a while for me to restructure it now, yes i have managed to gather a little data about your little attack from it but what a pain, i didn't want to have to work to hard now i might have no choice depending on your actions." Akki took a deep breath and sighed this was turning out to be quite the day.

She looked around once again trying to work out where her companion had gotten to the last thing she needed was for him to be running in blindly and getting himself hurt although with a little bit of modification he could make an interesting slave, Akki quickly shook the thought out of her head she had a much more important thing to deal with here, this Espada could quiet easily turn out to be a pain and attack again then she would have to defend herself, once again she sighed oh how she hated hard work.

Zibishi couldn't hear their conversation as he relaxed on the trunk of the tree. With his reiatsu still masked, Zibishi began to become more at ease in the encircling forest. He had no choice as it seemed like the two were negotiating and if Zibishi ran in blindly, he could get his comrade killed or worse, himself killed. His hazel eyes stay focused on the two trying to follow the words and the conversation didn't seem too hostile just tense. Ming's violent and protective urges had subsided and now his head was clear and he continued thinking of a plan. His zanpaktou began to tremble showing signs of being anxious and rowdy. Arashi was very worsome when he was ready to engage in battle. He ignored him and let his head rest as he sighed a breath of slight agitation.

If Akki didn't signal for his help or seem in pain then Zibishi would remain in his hiding spot, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. His curiousity began to take over though as he wondered what number was the Espada, it would help him out greatly with his strategy.
