Venturing into the Unknown [PRIVATE/Pockeh]

Karakura Forest was widely recognized for its natural beauty and abundance of rich earthen treasures such as wildlife and foliage unique to the region that people had used to come for miles simply to observe. The dense woods were easy to get lost in.. and a good number of the people that did weren't prone to coming back. This wasn't because of the Forest itself, as nothing contined therein could even be construed as dangerous, but instead because of the people who typically chose to inhabit said forest.

In recent years, the seemingly endless expanse of flora had become home to a number of seedier types.. criminals and other such lowlifes hiding out from one group or another, trying to evade detection for as long as is possible for them. But that created the problem of people looking simply for a relaxing walk amongst the flowers accidentally running into one of these types of people and ending up missing.. and presumably worse. It was for this reason, primarily, that the Yuudeshi clan's early-warning and detection systems for crimes and suspicious activity had been extended outward as a project from the city itself into the confines of the Forest, hoping to try and prevent this sort of thing from continually happening.

Unbeknownst to the hybrid upon having entered this space for the reasons of training, and through no fault of his own, he had set off one such proximity alert. These were wired to send a notice out to the nearest active member of the Yuudeshi clan, and if none were available? The nearest possible allied force. It just so happened in this case though, that an active member of said clan had been already investigating another disturbance right on the outskirts of the main city, and was thusly was already nearby when the alert was sounded.

The young blonde in question was making her way through the underbrush carefully, her body moving with more precision and deliberation considered into each step than a normal human would've been able to. This was by and large in part to the bionic "edge" she typically had out over those among her species limited to a point by their humanity, allowing her more careful, calculated movements as her augmented body parts were made to handle the extra demand in input sensitivity or lack there of as the case might be, as she could also just as easily lay a full-on beating down with said robotics as well, and with one-hundred percent output efficiency. She had no idea where that number came from, but she was certain it wasn't an exaggeration.

As Sanuye finally got a visual on the target in question, she quickly slipped into hiding, allowing herself a moment to observe him from afar before taking any immediate action. Sanuye stared for a moment. To any outsider it might've looked like she was either very intent on the man, or like she had zoned out entirely. Neither were the case, however, as in actuality Sanuye was looking at a read-out of what information was known about this being by the Yuudeshis as a whole, as well as what her observational software could detect about his aura. Sanuye frowned a bit at the readings. It was true that he did have demonic energy present, but this creature was a shinigami by nature.. why did he set off the alert? Off the top of her head, Sanuye couldnt think of any shinigami whom she would directly classify as an antagonist. Typically, when she saw one, they were doing good work, so why was this one perceived as a threat? It could have something to do with his identity, but thanks to the mask the man was currently wearing, Sanuye's scanner was unable to discern who exactly this being was.

Before the Yuudeshi woman could ponder her options for much longer, a loud and wholly unprofessional sound was heard. Sanuye ground her teeth together as she looked down at her feet for a moment, noticing the twig underfoot that had just decided it was a good idea to snap under the boot it had been supporting perfectly well up until then. Sanuye looked up, seeing the hybrid's now significantly more alerted demeanor plainly as he searched for the source of the noise in her direction. Well, there goes a stealthy approach. Time for Plan B, then.

Sanuye stepped out from the tree behind which she had been hiding, her arms up in the air as a gesture of good will and harmlessness as she walked into view. "Hey there! Nice day for a walk, huh? Sorry for sneaking up on you like that. You triggered one of our sensors when you came here and I was sent to investigate.. but so far I've ascertained that you won't be any trouble, so please don't prove me wrong?" Sanuye chuckled nervously, hoping her initial suspicion of this person being a potential ally as opposed to an enemy was correct. "My name is Sanuye Yuudeshi. You might've heard of that family name? If it's something that makes you wanna start swinging that sword at me, I'm gonna warn you right now that it's not gonna be that easy to take me down, but so long as you're cool with me, I'm cool with you, dig?" The blonde grinned from ear-to-ear, awaiting the boy's response so she could let her guard down a bit. Her arms were already getting tired from being held up like this.
