Demon on my shoulder [Tento | Arianda ]

Tento really should have taken a communication device with him. He just haaaad to lend it to a junior officer who's ear piece was malfunctioning. Who would have thought he would get lost? And with no luck of finding anyone he knew. Anyone even. Time should not be wasted, he needed to get going again and get back to helping people. Well. At least the folks he had come across previously were fine and well. Only a bit shaken up by the news. Food and water already being given to them apparently by a young woman. Pleasant news!

Eventually it seemed that Tento, was not alone like he thought. A lady came bouncing un with a soft gentleness. Light eyes, short. And beautiful short black and red hair. Tento looked at her, watching her face as he was so surprised. No energy he could feel for her. Was she a rare being with no spiritual pressure in this day and age?

"Oh, hello madam. I am okay but not perfect. I have gotten myself a bit...sidetracked", Tento said rubbing the back of his head in a sheepish grin. "I don't know if you can miss. I am trying to find my group. But I suppose that is something well beyond any idea a normal person can give. Perhaps, do you know the general area around here??".

Hmmmm. A lack of experience in sensing energy beyond Hollows was indeed something the young Shinigami had a poor grasp of. Not from a way of not holding effort or ability. The times spending with comrades in the field of battle seemed to help refine him quickly. The best teacher was experience after all. And the heat of battle and timely questions did wonders. Either way! If it was not a hollow, a Shinigami, or a quincy. Well he was not sure of how well he could recognize the specific energy frequency or aura. And this was sure on display here. Little did Tento know that this wonderful beauty with a gorgeous smile was a demon. How could he, he had never meta demon before in his short dead life after all. Only things he knew were in the memory banks of his mind from books. And that, was still a complex bit of material to try and remember! Given that and the way that humans had a big way of being unique, it was not an odd thing, if Tento had to defend himself. That he thought Arianda was just a human while she carefully concealed her powers and energy.

There were a bit of curious things that made Tento wonder though. Like for instance, why and how Arianda was here? A normal woman who had enough power to see spiritual beings, or perhaps a super human with powers. One should not be here. Yes, this was a recovered piece of land made for people to start coming back. But no one had really done such a thing because it was simply to soon. Just because it was recovered did not mean it was one hundred percent safe after all. Or maybe he was just being a dunce right now and was missing something?

"oh? So your beautiful skin can always stay perfect eh?", he said in a soft voice as his body swayed side to side in his steps. Opting to lean lightly away as he moved. A tick came in his mind as he heard...a purr? A weird one that set of flags in his mind. One of them very much so causing him to move away because the man was gonna think naughty thoughts I tell you what!

"Not from here eh? Respect. Not many people would or even could come to help. But madam, what do you plan to do?", he asked not out of mockery but full on curiosity. With a bit of passive focus he felt a bit of a stirr occur from the far distance above them. Something...was happening. "Hmmm...".

Something is near young master.

"Oh? I have never heard of such a rule before. But thhhhen. Who are the perfect skin police??", Tento mused after hearing Arianda's response and gentle giggle. Humming and walking. Walking and humming. That was a walk and talk style, she did have perfect skin. Perhaps she was one of the perfect skin officers!!

… … … …

As cool of an actor he played himself as right now. It was good that the truth of what he knew was not shown yet. Thank you…friend. Tento thought in gratitude towards his Zan spirits. It was good to have someone watch your back when you were alone. Even with a passive perception having them feel by the air to confirm.

"Hey Ari…". Tento began deciding to give a covert warning. Feeling the pendulum shift in the docile energy of the hollows above them. With a bit of surprise though a separate hollow was here. Bursting from the bushes; making a hard beeline for…Ari!

In a response of what would seem like a snail pace to Ari. Tento had drew his Zanpakuto ready to confront the…

YOINK!!!

Eye wide Tento felt his body love light as a feather. Much less resistance than any movement he could try to do in a run or shunpo. In a blur he saw the end result of Ari's foot extended out. Cracks and pieces of a hollow mask falling to the floor. All with his body being placed down gently before he saw Ari shift once again. Red and black splitting in the air.

He stood there, sword in hand. "...eh?". CRAAAAACK. Sounded the hollow’s masked further as Arianda reached her target. Slamming her fist into the hollow’s chin. Body shifting into the air a few inches before being brought down to its knees in a harsh audible SNAAAAAP before being wrestled to the ground pinned by… . "The heck??". WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT.

Think later. Action now. She is calling young master.

With a jolt back to reality Tento moved. Jumping up into the air before landing down over the Hollows head. Stabbing into its mask before slicing up clean through its mask.

One down…

"So…I suppose you are a super mega human eh?", Tento joked before turning g and placing his sword on his shoulder before looking up. It was a surprise that the other hollows didn't go i to action yet.

"You all gonna come get in this or am I going to be standing here next to the cutie powerhouse all day?", Tento said in a teasing provocation as he looked up towards the number of hollows up in the air.
