Starting over (OPEN)

Haruka kept her stance as she studied the boy, she always kept her guard up her positioning that of someone on the defence. She usually had Hakuda as her main force of attack, and she would usually test out her opponents by using this style of fighting she could learn about them, measure their speed agility get a feel for their abilities, of course they could just be holding back but she still like to test the waters first and then maybe just maybe she would resort to using her Zanpakutō. But for now it was strictly Haukda, and it seemed she would be able to test that out today, it was always better when you had an opponent to face off against she the young boy had stepped up.

Haruka being the ever so witty had a comment all the time, instead of greeting the boy she couldn't resist but mention how he had appeared to be sneaking about and spying she knew he probably wasn't but still it brought a little amusement to see him so quickly defend against it. Haruka listened to him explain he was doing nothing of the sort and in fact collecting information about the members of the Gotei 13, ah yes the big group of Shinigami who were defending Soul Society should they become under threat, and that was pretty much regular at times. Haruka let her stance relax a little more as she tilted her head and tapped the side of her temple with her index finger a couple of times ''Ah, i see...we are an interesting bunch the Gotei....'' she said knowing they there were some pretty eccentric characters among them.

Naturally the raven haired shinigami had wondered who he was, she couldn't say she recognised him and her suspicions were correct he was Captain of the 7th Division Carter, she had heard of him most Shinigami here had heard of Captains names, but not many knew their faces to go with those names and now she had met 2 captains in a space of a few days, this was lucky for her, she always dreamed of becoming a Captain herself one day in the future and she admired the courage they had for stepping into the responsible roles like Carter had choose to do. ''Of course, i've heard of you, never knew what you'd look like until now though...well then you have come here at the right time Carter '' she said as she let her arm move out and rested it on her hip. ''Im Haruka, you've probably never heard of me...im not that famous around here i think i hide away too much'' she admitted.

She stood still as Carter was analysing her pretty quickly, and just from the way she held herself her slender frame perfect for swift movements it all pointed to what kind of fighter she was. Haruka gave a half smile, ''Your very observant...correct i am a Hakuda user have been for all of my Shinigami life'' she nodded in response he was smart so it seemed and observing your opponent was something she would praise him for, she had to admit he seemed to know what he was doing and sure enough the thought of going up against him made her determined.

So it appeared Carter wasn't so much as a Hakuda user himself his skills were more in swordsmanship and Kidou, ah yes she wasn't so good in those area, Kidou was defiantly not her thing but what she really wanted was to reach Shikai, she knew how to handle her Zanpakutō but because of its small size there was limitations. If she could combine swordplay and her skill in Hand to hand combat then she'd be much more of a threat. That was her plan, and she would reach it, she told herself she would and Carter was offering to lend her his strength and knowledge to teach her in something she wasn't so profound in, it was a good idea to her. Haruka shrugged her shoulders a slight smirk ''Sounds like a fair deal to me'' she said. ''I've always believed sharing knowledge among other Shinigami will make a better, stronger more solid Gotei 13'' she added.

Haruka watched as he set his Zanpakutō aside near among the trees and made sure he would come back to it, she understood Zanpakutō were like partners they worked together and Haruka liked the sound of it, she wanted that too, have the bonding of a sword and it's master. It intrigued her what did Sirena look like who was she and what could she do exactly, so many questions filled her. Haruka stood straight her body turned to the side a little as she looked at Carter, he had a point there, if she could beat him here, that would be some story she would tell. A smirk grew on her face as she lifted her hand up just in front of her face as she tugged on the black gloves on her hand flexing her fingers as she then lowered her stance, her knees bended sharply ''Well, maybe im gonna be the next one to say that'' she said she liked a little bit of fighting talk, some healthy competition. Immediately after finishing her words she ran at Carter with soaring speeds and drew her arm back as far as possible before launching a clenched fist towards his face if it hit who knew but she figured it wouldn't be that easy, this was not going to be a breeze she would push her body and be smart here and see what happened.
