Jumping Conclusions [Cali/Hitsuyona]

The patience of those who found themselves within the patrol corps of the Onmitsukido seemed to elude Hitsuyona. Missions of this manner always brought about ungodly amounts of boredom and idle thought to the soul as he makes many a carefully placed step throughout the borderlines of the forests surrounding Karakura. It had been hours with no signs of life at this point, and Hitsuyona began to wish that his shift would come to seem less end soon enough. Signs of such hope came to a spiraling end at the appearance of the fluttering butterfly accompanying his presence though, his hands eagerly reaching outwards in awe of what might have occurred amidst this sequence of silence that lay before him.

‘A presence along the border? But it didn’t invade?’ The Shinigami lightly scoffs assuming it was the result of low demons running across the barrier much in a manner similar to moths chasing the ‘pretty light’ zapper. In either case, it was his job to see such with his own eyes to report back in that it was just another simple day along the borders of the town. And thus, with great haste hitsuyona took many a Flash Step at carefully placed intervals anxious to call it a day. It wasn’t until he neared the area of questioning that he let a very inward sigh of sorts, before allowing himself to rest silently along the branch of a distant tree limb. ‘The demon is playing with the barrier like it’s a toy.’

His day just couldn’t come to a simple end in this case, and so his left arm recedes into his shihakshou to retrieve his Katar that now remained concealed within his sleeve. He had no choice but to deal with the threat at this point. It was possible it was a scout testing the extremities of the barrier, or any other number of equally invasive means. He then brought his hands together to form a band sign, causing a singular clone of himself to appear. The Shinigami wasn’t one to make it appear as if he hand an army of soldiers, when they would simply fall apart at the slightest touch with their power spread so thin.

It was to go without saying that their presence had thus far been hidden to the best of their ability, as the two silently shunpo at a rapid pace towards the entity embracing the barrier. The formation was set as if to flank the being from behind at either side. It wasn’t until the two were within twenty meters of this foe that one would form hainawa causing the tendrils to lash outwards towards the demon, whilst the other made use of tsuzuri raiden on his wakizashi blade as a medium. Their intended result being to use the binding spell to subdue it long enough so that the other could both attack and further bind its movement with vigorous shocks from the Kido. They wouldn’t however place both their lives in danger without first ensuring the binding would work.
