Kei was obviously the least qualified person in this team. It wasn't that she wasn't skilled, no. She had the training—much the same as the other low-ranking members of the Gotei United. She still felt it was weird calling it the Gotei United over the Gotei Thirteen, but she'd manage. The only thing Kei did not have was the experience. She was at the backline of this operation. Kei was the healer assigned to a hollow-hunting operation outside of the Rukongai, specifically to the southeast.
It wasn't supposed to be difficult, but they had her "just in case." Kei didn't care. She wanted to be on the frontline. She wanted to be fighting. She wanted to be stronger. She sat, her Zanpakutou in her lap, furious at herself for not being able to help. She was useless back here in her mind. No, there was more to it than that. Kei always felt useless. She could heal better than most at her level, but rarely did anyone need the low levels of healing she could provide. Kei was mostly tasked with being a nurse for recovering patients, much to both of their chagrin. If there was one thing Kei lacked as a healer, it was bedside manners.
Which is why Kei wanted to go out and fight. She wanted to sink her blade into Hollow or Demon flesh, protecting who and what she cared about. And yet she never could do it. Kei sighed heavily as the evening passed on to dusk. She was nearly falling asleep out of sheer boredom when it crashed through. A Hollow with a hundred legs slithered through the forest, breaking through trees towards her. Kei was terrified and excited. She wanted to fight

Kei was a healer, not a fighter. She had trouble actually causing harm. At the very least, causing lasting harm was the issue. Kei did not have much in terms of reiatsu or reiryoku, but she was letting it be known that she had some. It's only a Hollow. It's not even that strong. Even I can fight it. Even I can kill it. I can succeed. I can protect. Kei held her sword firm as she met the Hollow's charge. She yelled. Her voice held as firm as the grip on her sword.
Kei did manage to harm the Hollow. It wasn't expecting her to charge back, so its spindly body tried to avoid her... Unfortunately, it's harder to move that many individual parts than many realize. Kei's Zanpakutou bit through half a dozen of its spike-like legs before the Hollow was fully out of her way. She looked at the blood on her Zanpakutou and smiled. This was a flaw of hers, and one that would prove fatal if nothing was done to correct it.
Kei could wound it. Enough wounds would kill the Hollow. She could do this. Kei spun back towards the Hollow. She bellowed again, charging with the same straightforward fury as before. It was easy for the Hollow to counter her attack. A leg kicked her sword away, but Kei's grip was too firm. She tumbled with it. Her body smashed into the forest's ground, sticks and stones digging into her flesh. It was almost luck that she rolled away from the Hollow's first leg, escaping with only a minor cut. It was skill that let her avoid the next. Kei was now pinned underneath the Hollow, her sword inches away... As she went to reach for it, the Hollow reached for her.

Kei was sure she was going to die. Death was something she hadn't prepared for, but she had thought of. The studies told her she'd be put back into the Soul Cycle unless the Hollow ate her. And this thing seemed hungry. She wouldn't live on as someone else—someone who could protect. No, she'd end up as a evening meal. It was going to be a death must unworthy of someone like her. She clammered for her sword—hoping to kill the Hollow as it killed her.
Kei had not expected or even sensed the red woman's presence. When she finally realized what she was looking for... Kei finally felt it all. It was not only impressive, it was sickening. She felt that tightness and overwhelming dread that came with her reiatsu. Any reiatsu at significant pressures would create that same feeling, but this was far more dense. It was like a mother smothering her child with affection—only this affection was staring down hard at a misbehaving child. It was awesome in the old sense of the word. Kei was terrified of this woman.
But she wanted to be protected by her too. "Amazing..."
Kei watched in almost-horror as the Hollow exploded into tiny fragments. Kei's hair rushed away from the impact. The shockwave was stronger than she imagined. And the way she landed was just as awesome. This woman was strong. She was... the embodiment of everything Kei wanted to be. This... this perfect woman in front of her was Kei's ideal form. It showed in her eyes, but the woman did not seem to catch it. Still awestruck, Kei only nodded to her almost-harsh words. As the woman walked away, Kei wanted to call out to her. She wanted to speak and learn from this woman. This woman was above her in all stations. Kei wouldn't be able to learn anything by asking...
So Kei followed the red woman, hiding behind trees when she felt like the woman was going to turn around...

Kei was sure she'd be spotted. She wasn't good at sneaking. She wasn't good at fighting. The only thing she was good at was... healing. That didn't do any good when it came to protecting someone. At best... she could help them recover if they came back. Kei wanted to make sure they did come back. She wanted to be up there as a wall of fire and fury. She wanted to be the woman she was stalking.
Kei was hiding behind a tree again when the red-headed woman disappeared. She looked around the side, not seeing her. It was odd. It wasn't... The feeling of mounting dread returned, mere inches away from Kei. She lurched forward, sweat beading down her face. It was all she could do to keep her lunch from meeting the air again. Kei shook in pure fear. The woman was right behind her. She was going to die, wasn't she?
Kei hesitated to turn around for a few seconds. She winced as the red woman greeted her with the same nonchalance as before. There wasn't hostility... so... maybe? No, the woman didn't need to show that. To her, Kei was just an insignificant bug, begging to be crushed under a boot. Kei did the stupidest thing and slowly turned around. She fell backwards as the woman's face was eye-level with her own. Fear sprung up further as Kei stared at the woman from below.
Kei's eyes darted from side to side to see if anyone would come to her rescue. No one would. Well, no one that could save her. "I... Um..." Kei swallowed and decided on yet another stupid action. Kei lied through her teeth. It was obvious as day that she was hiding what her real intentions were. "You... well... saved me... and... that might have been the Hollow... that, uh, my team was sent to eradicate... I need to... know your name so I can put it in my report..." Kei turned her head down in almost shame at the end. "And so I can... properly thank you for saving me..." That was the only true thing Kei spoke, but it still wasn't the whole truth. She had much more to tell this woman...

Kei did not like the woman picking on her. The lie was obvious, but there was no need to pick on her in such a way. She sort-of dangled there for a moment before being set on her feet. Kei attempted to be stealthy as she used the tree for support. If she didn't, she'd fall over again. Getting picked up like that a second time would be more than humiliating. Everything the red woman said was true. The report lie was bullshit and she was always this shy. But more than that, the red woman scared the piss out of Kei. Kei just looked abashed as Lilith sprung out her reasons. It was just more of an excuse for Kei not to speak.
The woman told Kei to calm down, which was impossible at the moment. Kei was standing next to someone whose simple punch literally exploded a Hollow. To anyone as low as her, that would be absolutely terrifying. Kei winced as the red woman confirmed that she was incapable of killing the Hollow from before. Yeah, she knew that already. There wasn't a reason for it to be rubbed in her face. Defeated and partly deflated from the adrenaline, Kei sighed at the request. "I... wasn't going to, well, even put you in the—my report... so you don't have to worry..."
"My name's Lilith."
Kei's blood ran cold. Of all people, her? Well, it was no surprise... that Lilith was a monster. Kei swallowed hard and gripped the tree harder. She wanted to run now, not bother with learning. Why the hell would anyone want to learn from Lilith Antonovich? Because she's strong. And she protected you. Kei's inner voice spoke in an annoyed tone. It was right too—Lilith was almost perfect for what Kei wanted. But why did it have to be her of all people? Kei swallowed, not knowing much of what to do next. "I... I see.... Uh, well... I am, um... Kei Makabe of the Four—no, now it's the Second Division isn't it? Y-yeah, it is." Still vocally shaking, Kei decided to do what she should have done in the first place: "Th-th-th-thank you for s-saving me. I... I know I couldn't take that beast... it was foolish of me to even try..."
