Returning For More Than One Reason [Fuurinji/Srath]

In the human mythology, atop Mount Olympus sat some of their Gods. Chief among them was Zeus, Ruler of Olympus and God of Gods. It was here that Fuurinji found herself again, except this time for a much different reason than before. She was here to meditate, reflect and, most importantly of all, to recenter herself after decades upon decades of endless fighting. She no longer had Komamura Taicho to fallback on for this task, wherever he was didn't matter anymore. She knew not where to look nor if searching would ever turn up any results, so focusing her energy on it was pointless. Instead she'd focus herself on living without his active guidance, and reflect on the wisdom he'd imparted upon her when he was still around.

But it was difficult for her in truth, because the rage that burned within her was something she'd never learned to control... never attempted to control, at least not without outside help. Arianda wanted her to move on from her past, but the knowledge of what the Quincy's had done to her Mother wasn't something she could simply move on from... she doubted if she could ever move on from it. However much like the absence of Komamura was something she could do nothing about, her Mother's death was also something she could do nothing about. She knew not what Quincy were responsible for it, nor did she know how she would even go about fighting such an individual even if she could find them.

These were the conflicts she focused on for now, training herself to not forget them... but to move past them and let them guide her forward rather than control her.

Techniques in use:

Her meditation, while secluded from most, wasn't secluded enough it would seem, as it was interrupted by the rather foul smelling presence of a hollow and one that was at least more powerful in its Spiritual Pressure than hers. By the time it had made its way to the very top, Fuurinji had already stood, two Zanpakuto drawn and facing the creature. When it spoke, Fuurinji would give no immediate response, though it wouldn't be too long before she did. "And as always, they smell of foul and death." One Zanpakuto was held above her head, the blade facing outwards, while the second had its tip resting against the ground with the blade pointing inwards.


Fuurinji knew better than to underestimate hollows, doing such was something that could easily get one killed. So as she spoke her release phrase, the wind around her whipped up into a violent whirlwind, and before it dispersed of its own accord a shockwave erupted from within as she clapped the newly formed two tri-taloned gauntlets together.


As the shockwave went out and the tornado of wind that surrounded her dispersed, it wasn't gone entirely. Instead the surrounding area began to warp and twist around them, distorting directions and making everything seem everywhere all at once. "This is where you die, Hollow."

Techniques in use:

It was both surprising and annoying for Fuurinji that Srath seemed rather adept at avoiding the technique that captured so many Hollows, and the fact she managed to escape told her at least one thing she needed to know... This hollow was not of the standard breed, if not a uniquely powerful hollow, than an Adjuchas at best. This was a problem in and of itself, while sure she could defeat the standard hollow easily enough, and a Menos if she got really lucky... She'd admittedly never fought an Adjuchas before. Such hollows were typically dealt with by the Fukutaicho's of the Gotei due to their strength.

However that was then, and this was now... She had no other options. As the hollow began to move its arm into position for its Cero, Fuurnji's ears twitched slightly and readjusted themselves to point towards her. As the Cero began to charge itself, her stance dropped low, almost crouching as if in anticipation. The moment it was released, Fuurinji was on the move almost immediately. Moving both upwards and to the left of where she was previously standing, though she said nothing as she focused her attention. When her Shunpo ended she was standing level with the hollow and only about forty-feet away from them. The speed at which the Cero had come out demanded her complete attention, any hesitation and any attempt she made to dodge would cost her dearly.

In truth her dodge had only barely gotten her out of the way in time, as was evident from the missing piece of her Shihakasho and the scorch marks that covered the side of her arm and leg. "Dangerous..." She muttered to herself. Fuurinji knew two things from that attack now, the first being any attempt at Kido would be shut down rather quickly due to how long it'd take for her to use them, and the second being that her speed would likely be her only possible saving grace.

Techniques in use:

Whether they meant too sound impressed or not, Fuurinji truthfully didn't care if they were impressed or not. Such things were not something that she cared for, and her focus stayed on the movements of the creature before her. When she raised her hand once more she noted the lack of size the newly formed energy was taking, though overall she was unfamiliar with the technique that was about to be used.

The noise that was made by them as they were fired was... similar to a Cero, yet deeper in their pitch, and though Fuurinji yet again moved as she 'saw' them fired, it was only the first that she managed to dodge successfully and without injury. The second she couldn't really say she dodged so much as lucked out, with the second movement of her Shunpo only managing to get the Bala to hit her arm rather than her sternum to which she let out a sharp shriek before the last three pelted her and sent her careening back into the mountain top below.

With gritted teeth she slammed into the rock, though she was quick to begin trying to pry herself free from where she'd landed it was clear from the slow and staggered movements that she was not expecting the impact from those bala's to have such a profound effect on her. Truth be told the words that the Adjuchas spoke were lost on Fuurinji, and it was now that she was understanding why it was Fukutaicho's that were sent to deal with these creatures. Yet even so she pulled herself back to her staggering feet, defiant to the end though... clearly outmatched.

Techniques in use:

Even as the Reiatsu bore down on her, Fuurinji didn't completely fall to the ground. Instead she fell to one knee, gritting her teeth as she struggled to keep herself even on that one knee. However in spite of this, as Srath came down to deliver that knockout blow, Fuurinji's right hand became coated in a white hue'd Reiatsu, before surging upwards to meet with Srath's leg in a single hard clash, a last ditch effort from the Shinigami that lasted for naught but a singular moment.

When at last the dust settled, Fuurinji's body was laid out on the ground unconscious.
