“The sky is bright, the night is dark I live to please, the sky fears and fleeting feet are a breath, a silent sword which brings swift slaughtering death, It is the lark the midnight crow, the little doe that froze to the snow, as effective as a pack of wolves, murdering to eat, and living like one should, in this necropolis.. I am here to bring solace and death.”

The words, worlds away from normal, a cruel lullaby a verse that sent shivers even to the hardest veterans in the dead of the night, with the moon so full that it looked like a overinflated balloon just itching to burst. However this was a strange place with strange dead tree’s snow flying down from the heavens above, filling the world with its winter cruel wonderland. The cold which brought nothing but starvation, and death the ever inhospitable life of the north, the winds which brought frostbite, the world which had nothing for the living, but only the sweet tranquil waters for the dead. A place which was not for inhabiting it was a place which only the strong survived , and the weak died it was the way everything lived and died, the circle of life.

“But what is this place, so white and pure, tinted with the skies long tainted azure, left with black the shape of night. What lurks beneath such downy white, frigid cold which is from days of old, ever constant ever present, never fleeting, never seeing, just falling down blanketing those who fall victim to its lovely looks, a frigid death, which robs them of all they have. “

Words ever true echoing through the world of snow, no birds lived here just the corpse of crows, animals hid in fright nothing lived here.. Just the corpses and the dead, natures graveyard was here, everything lived in fear, but just what lurked in the depths of these white hills and frozen streams ,what literally would make everything so quiet, so long gone, so desolate so lacking and strong? Did something happen here or was this natures natural order of a place, so far from the warmth and love of the city, a place that was so pristine and pure, yet so eerie and cold, what made this place tick, what gave it so much life, that was a question a good one.. and one that could be pondered.

“Is it the love which children have, or is it death that makes them glad. Still I wonder what perversity is locked within their tranquility , is it love or is it relief that they are not dead, yet death they do seek.. Was it death that is release, or is it life that keeps the beast, tame and hidden inside just waiting.. until you die?..”

Words that kept echoing the verses continuing one figure walking amidst the hard night, just talking the morbidity of ones words likely never to be forgotten, said with sincerity and not quite a form of hate or perversity but just a monotone truth, without curiosity. The words seemed to echo rebounding their morbid lyrics, as if a song that is made of the damned, yet untimely was it directed to the ears of the living, a song that reflects ones past, but yet tells nothing about the road they walk. Or how they have lived to talk like they talk, the echoing breaths of the body, the beats of a heart no longer numbered, did anything truly give a person the insight into ones soul? Did it really tell someone anything about the person beneath? Well the woman behind the voice pondered that continuing.

“When you’re dead, are you forgotten, living in the world long lost and forsaken, no longer sought but just itching to be found? Did the world lie down, or did death turn it upside down, is it life which we seek here, the release of living through the pain or the hardships? Is it the life we live, the desolate souls we seek, the enticing life we bring, or what happens when our lips no longer breathe , when our days are numbered.. our heart beats its last, do we then finally get true rest at last?”

Words that echo tell a story, they seemed to have no end, but also seemed to have no malice nor any real care about them , the fog that had come in from the clouds up north, settling in with its sub-arctic feel obscuring life and everything that seemed to begin to lurk within the shadowy depths of a place like this, just waiting to be found, to divulge its dark secret’s only what could be described as the uninvited killer, with its freezing temperatures frost bite was not unheard of around here, in fact it was quite actually normal, which was why many died a year this far up north it was the place which seemed to be the epitome of death, the grueling deaths that seemed to be the only cries that sought life in this oh so desolate place.

“You want to live, only after you’re dead so longing and seeking what you lost or had fled, shucking the cast ripping the scab, and incurring a insatiable and unachievable wound that you never will find to be cured, just lingering like a gaping hole, reflecting the sense of ultimate loss that has wormed holes out of your soul, is it fate or is it fury, that drives the soul to reclaim its life in a flurry? “

The words seemed to be ending, but the fog was thickening ominous cold gusts of wind blowing it against some odd object or obstruction which was moving forth, without much heed to the cold, to that desolate cold which seemed to be lingering at the fringes of what looked like a black short skirt and a shirt, a figure sauntering through the frigid snow without much problem, moving forward.

“Such silly things, best left to the forgotten”

It was those words that left a feminine figures mouth, which belonged to the palest girl you might ever see, with hair of such a raven pitch black that it contrasted as black as the night sky, currently that hair was blowing in obvious disarray as the wind had lifted it up and scattered it in a tussling frenzy, the locks of long hair cupping her face and blowing in waves out , as she had opened her eyes only slightly, walking through the storm, and with the strange rectangular object at her hip, cutting through the fog, yet in a rested scabbard, a katana it looked like, to be honest it looked like a katana , in fact that was what it was, a katana, and her fingers on one of her hands curled around the scabbard laxly keeping it in her grip while she traversed the frozen terrain, just walking forward. Even wolves gave this apparently ominous powerless or supposedly powerless “Human” even though she wasn’t a human, a wide area of berth, as she walked forward unhindered, walking forward silently under the cover of night, with that .. full moon, so full.

What was he gonna do? After his fight with that Iramasha, and before that the first Sueki...what was his name? Hat something or another? Jin was getting worn out, tossed around, and the little lab rat for all of these things; of course he was putting himself into those situations, but still it was the point of it all. He had given himself some time to rest, heal up, and really reflect on what he was going to do all of this time, but he just didn't know. He wanted to train more, but he also wanted to fight more with some of the other shinigami. What better way to get stronger than to win fights? He shrugged, and then grinned. He had made his decision, he would go to the human world, and really look for something strong, something worth his time. Yeah, that's what he would do!

With a determined resolve now, Jin stood to his feet, both hands searching his person for everything that he would need when he got there. Sword? Check. Clothes? Check. Extra poffin if he gets hungry after a fight? No, who needs those? No one, that's who. After finishing his chest, Jin straightened out his clothes, put his sword on his waist, and waved his hand, opening the gateway to the human world. Stepping inside, Jin smirked one last time. "Wait!" Jin rushed inside before entering the gate, he had better leave his men and women a warning as to where he is before leaving. What kind of vice-captain would he be if he just up and left without any warning. The thoughts of the last few fights came to mind depicting him as just that kind of vice-captain, but he quickly brushed these off before writing his name and setting the note on the bed. Someone was bound to find it.

Finally entering the gateway, Jin quickly made his way through and out of the other side. He was finally starting to get used to the darkness, his eyes once more readjusting to the soft light the moon radiated. Smiling, Jin started to focus his searching ability to find something worth his time. Wait, what was this? Something was...a hollow? All the way out there? What on the earth would a hollow be doing all the way out there? Well, either way Jin needed to at least deal with that thing first; at least before continuing his search for a worth opponent. With his decision locked away, and his body on the move, something even more strange happened. The hollow...it died. It didn't open a garganta, Jin knew what those felt like. o, it just died. What in the serious hell was going on?

As Jin started to shunpo his way across this plane, he noticed something strange. Whatever killed the hollow wasn't moving, and it still wasn't letting off any sort of energy. This confused him because he figured it would flaunt it's power. With that last thought pondering his mind, Jin appeared in what seemed like a very dark, and desolate place. And in front of him...was a human? Was she the one to have killed that hollow? Then it hit him; wait was this...was this lumi? No, Lumi was a shinigami just like him. He hadn't spoken to her in some odd centuries, but still...she was still alive and last time he checked she didn't give up her powers. Even still, he needed to look his best.

Jin turned his head, pulled out his sword and used the blade as a mirror. He shook his head making sure his hair was nice and tidy, only for it to fall back into it's normal, messy look around his head. Two crimson eyes straight, he turned on the ball of his foot. He sheathed his sword, with a wide grin coming across his features. "Well hello...I know this may seem like an odd question, but....did a...hollow just attack you?" He started as he slowly started to make his way toward the girl. He still kept the question as to HOW a normal human could kill a hollow. She was, as far as he could tell, a normal powerless human with a sword...

"I'm Jin Hoshigawa...What....do you go by?" He said as he extended his hand toward her, offering to shake hands. Maybe this would let him get a read on her powers. He took note of the sheath, was that blood? Did she not even use the sword? His eyes stayed on her, his grin, and smile still strong.

“..Stupid little bug.. don’t you know not to drool I guess I have to reprimand you.. “

A dreary voice said while her hand the free one clapped forward at the same time that apparently she pulled the sheath forward the free hand clapping on the handle of the katana in one clean movement, thrusting it back over her shoulder smashing into the gut of the hollow that was behind her the force was coupled with her twisting the sheath using pure wrist muscle then her hair whipping out she had flipped straight over the pommel feet, well her feet cracking out on what only could be described as frighteningly hard. Moving forward she consecutively kept pummeling the hollows face in, the first crack shattering the mask partially as the next blow shattered the front collar bone, consecutively hard and well placed blows rained down on the hollow, and crushed its entire body in the span of roughly a minute, leaving the floppy now bloody beaten to death hollow on the ground, flopping weakly without much interest to it what so ever.

Then having finished this she had landed slowly feet recovering gracefully on the flats the arches of her feet balancing perfectly against the ground, as she slowly had straightened up back to her previous position her eyes glancing on the dried blood that spattered up the edge of her sheath and she slowly had just shook her head the locks of pure black hair swaying from side to side. It was of course why she had just looked forward sensing something rather or someone coming close, as you see she was the kind of person that was pretty attentive to the landscape and what surrounds her. More honestly it was just because she knew her battle grounds and landscape she fights in is something crucial to know, something that just seemed to be the meet or scream method, without knowing your surroundings you had a much harder time of getting the upper hand in a fight, that was assured from the get-go, which is why she took in the tree’s and the landscape the lack and the luster judging the terrain with her depth perception, all these things undoubtedly where key things that she did, so that she would not be taken unaware. When she had pretty much wrapped up the process she had looked noticing movement, her eyes naturally drawn to the disturbance in an otherwise tranquil environment.

Meeting the perturbed disruption with her eyes, she saw it was some kind of humanoid with an energy signature and she sighed her feet just lax and legs slipping apart some only the smallest margin of a swords-man stance hinted as she had slowly raised in a practiced movement, her sheath straight up. So she just was holding the katana at its handle the red dried blood illuminated in the slight reflective glare of the white snow from moonlight above. So everything was strange, that was life but for now the words that came out of her mouth quickly cut out after she heard “So I know this is an odd question, but did that hollow just attack you” her blade resting there while her eyes looked like flints, feet spreading stance present as she had looked forward eyes reflecting a killer of hundreds not human eyes, undoubtedly eyes that belonged to a being that had been alive many human lifetimes, her smile not present it was a frown, her hair spreading out.

After the male took another step and began to reach their hand out, her eyes lanced shining like killing blades of the executioner. It was in that moment that time would seem to slow down for her and in a movement that seemed like teleporting nearly, her wrist dropped the sheath swinging down at startling speeds, before finally the katana was sent straight down, by a downwards thrust her palm on the end of her katana-s handle, this force would bring it down quick enough that it would strike the center of the forearm striking the triceps with enough force to easily break bones or metal, the tip of the katana’s sheath smashing into that part as in a second equally fast movement, making her body suddenly vanish but in reality she had used the landscapes downwards gradient and moved forward the sheath dropping as she moved past the male, allowing it to go from vertical to horizontal in the span of not even a few seconds, the black sheath sliding down the arm with brute force, enough to leave possibly unless he had dodged it, highly likes this wasn’t the case but, anyways the blow would have left not a cut but extensive blunt damage broken capillaries blood vessels , and destroyed nerves in a quickly blackening line that extended up the arm from the original blow site and stopped at the shoulder.

“Did anyone tell you to keep your distance from people you don’t know? For example, I don’t want people near me that I don’t know. . . Your kindness may be your stupidity, but don’t get close to me unless you want next time this sheath to send a blackened hole exploding from the back of your head. And that thing you asked if I was attacked by. . . Well I wasn’t attacked by it.. because..”

At this point her stance was positioned to be perfect for a wide range of dodging and attack, feet shoulder width apart, hand holding her sheath fingers curled around it, the other hand held at a 90 degree angle elbow bent in another right angle, her eyes opened some, as the wind blew the fog marginally obscuring her for a moment, as her voice ominous and as cold as the landscape itself, yet filled with frosty beauty of the voice’s owner had finished.

“..Because it was dead before it could even register I was there because Sometimes a wolf is found in lambs clothing you know”

Jin arched a brow, but in an instant he could tell what she was doing. Just before he sheath made contact, Jin had shunpoed to his side, and then once more away from the moving girl. His eyes, stayed on her, his brow still arched as he shook his arm and looking at it. Well, this girl was something else, that was for sure. Without even an ounce of hesitation, Jin could make a good educated guess that that attack would have sent his sword arm out of commission. Between that, and the coldness in her eyes, Jin just figured out how this woman was able to kill that hollow. She started to speak, but the only thing that passed through his mind at the moment was That girl is DEFINITELY not Lumi. He placed his left hand into his pocket before his right grabbed the hilt to his blade.

"Yeah, you know, I think I skipped that part of class. But my momma always taught me to not judge a book by it's cover..." Jin laughed to himself, before continuing "My mom also killed people for a living...so, take that with a grain of salt." Then she made yet another threat, and Jin couldn't help but feel amused. She was truly fool of herself, skilled in swordsmanship for sure, fast too, but Jin was no push over. He was always skilled in the art of the sword, and while he wasn't the fastest person in the world, he was able to take quite a beating and pain never really registered to him. Maybe it was that damn metal that fell upon his neck, or maybe it was the nature of his abilities. Either way, a wild grin popped onto his face. He was certainly intrigued by this one. "Yeah yeah, black hole in my head. Whatever. But YOU are good. Taking out a hollow as a little, powerless little girl. What's your secret? Trained by a secret society? Some sort of limiter on your body?" He said, looking over her body starting from the top, moving down, stopping for a moment, and then continuing. He grinned and then started again.

"or maybe..." He paused, his eyes losing their amusement, his right arm pulling his sword from it's sheath. Straightening out his sword so he held it properly, Jin tilted his head with his own merciless, cold eyes covering his normally happy, free of worry demeanor. "you're holding out on me. You know, I don't like being lied to. Makes this relationship start out on a really bad foot." He shunpoed once more making the distance between them even greater, his eyes still on the woman with his left hand held in the air, and his right arm preparing to parry her. He spoke no incantation, with three yellow fangs of reiatsu appearing in his hand. "Bakudo 30 - Shitotsu Sansen" He launched the bakudo her way attempting to bind her in whatever stuck. He was sure she would counter, but he was trying to get a feel for her abilities, or maybe even trying to make her reveal just what she was.

“Hmm, you avoided that , good this means I can enjoy myself.. You see.. I don’t give my name to those who are going to die. How about this, if you survive for 10minutes I will show you what you desire.. But please if you’re going to attack it will take more than this!”

Almost as if time seemed to move slow she had grinned her foot kicking off at a gradient the knee bending as she dropped low, sheath arcing around so the tip of it planted firmly the first of the spikes smashing into the pommel with no effect other than to dissipate as it had hit something hard enough that was also resistant enough that a condensed energy blew it apart, the explosion showing that she was holding back but that wasn’t the time nor the place, as her body moved almost instantly palm thrusting down on the pommel sending her form launching into the air the free hand gripping the sheath bringing her and the blade flipping up to land firmly on the towering branch of a dead tree, feet bending the tree shivered and shattered when she kicked off, the splinters and fog making her vanish until the last second.

You see she had hug the ground blade coming upwards under the parried strike, in a bash directed to the lower abdomen, however this was a feint and her back foot the lagging foot, swung around instantly as the leading foot stamped down pivoting her around the boys frame the katana sheath though cleaving wickedly in a jab to the stomach , yet this only lasted a second because the blade flicked around in a hearty disengage and rained a severely strong pommel thrust to the back, around the center small of the back as she had quickly kicked off the ground feet sliding apart after those quick strikes if any hit it would be interesting if they missed she had landed quickly and had her sheath at the ready in a quick stance, of course her eyes opened up some, her frown prominent on her face, showing she wasn’t really amused, her hawk like eyes already having taken in the landscape while she had slipped into a kenjustu stance, her eyes focusing not on one particular thing but the landscape as a whole, her center calm.. and fingers curled around the sheath , calmly she had exhaled .

“Come now if you can recognize a blow then you better be able to keep up with a few more, don’t bore me just yet, Jin-San”

Arabella said these words an obvious jab towards a man’s egotistical pride, and over abundance of testosterone as if someone got angry chances are they would get sloppy, for now though she had stood there the blade and sheath ensemble lax in her hands, however it still was something that shouldn’t be taken lightly, as her whole demeanor and the feel about her demanded nothing more than what one would consider to be absolute respect. Which was why now with her hand held on the blade she had stood there waiting to see if a counter-strike would come, almost hoping for it with a giddy glee, which was why of course she stood there and slowly had her fingers curl only marginally tighter to the sheath, her tongue coming out to lick her lips, while the wetting of them was just lovely to her, yet something about her right now would become frightening, as she focused what a fighter might call Ki, ones warrior spirit in general.

Her eyes where flat as razor knives, and it was the Personification of the wistful thinking “If Looks could kill” but in this case she could probably manage to pull that feat off, as this was not a normal gaze, it was sickening and twisted cold and heartless is poured out the miasma that seemed to reflect the slaughter of many , and times long ago that haunted even the strongest soul to this day. It most certainly was the kind of look that would make even the hardest veteran fighter think twice or falter, almost as if the warmth had been leeched out of the air, as if the personification of death itself stood before this man, her lips moving in a flat voice as her own cruel humor slid out from the depths, eyes twinkling with the souls of long lost people ones felled by her blade (Note that is just a personification not actually true with the souls) The sheath itself seemed to writhe with shadows as she seemed to look for once directly at this Jin, fellow and then slowly with her monotone voice said these exact words, one that would cause even a psychopaths blood to curdle, in fear.

“Say Jin, was it? You said your mother said.. “Don’t judge a book by its cover” perhaps.. the metaphor would be here in your case, might be wrong because what’s the point in learning the books content, if the book itself doesn’t exist to the modern world, you see some things humanity has forgotten in fear, things that are of legend.. do you really want to open that page of the past.. , tell me your intentions little one, and if you can land one blow on me, I will show you what you ultimately seek.

Remember though, darkness does not always equate to light, like light sometimes has been steeped in darkness, if you wish to fight me in this night, that is to fear your own shadow, to hide in fear, or to run screaming in the dead of night, us who have been the subject of humanities horrors, and stories meant to scare those kids in bed to behave, us who have been here in many stories thought to be myths, humans have become complacent you know, very complacent forgetting about us however.. let me ask you little one.. Jin right?.. Have you read Dracula?

If so you might know what you’ve run into, and know why your blood is steeped in fear, in the pains of knowing that this night might be the one you never forget, tell me if you knew what a monster looked like.. and met one in the flesh, would you run and scream? Would you shit your pants in utter fright, at the notion of what you’ve run into, would you run and pray to the god that is not of this world, are you like the humans which grew complacent over this long absence.. do you know what a monster looks like, a true monster that has since culture began recording text popped out of your worse dreams..?

Or are you the kind that would burn these beasts with flames of pride, and hunt them for sport, now that you know of me.. of my existence I have two options here, only one can be chosen and that is for you to decide right now mister, because if you choose the wrong way.. you may see my blade but, I will not miss.. and I will kill you. Or are you willing to enjoy the battle in the dead of night, and possibly accept a beast for what it truly is?

Well Jin, the choice is yours , as I will not make it for you do you wish to live, to see another day, and accept me. Ultimately that might be your better choice but, or will you forsaken me, after meeting me and treating me with apparent kindness and telling me your name, either way I have not returned the favor. I Arabella Levivanthan Gremory have given you this choice, do not mess this up, because if you do, I promise you my blade will be the last thing you see in this world. This is not an Idle threat, it is a promise.”

While this was being said arabella’s body even while it seemed lax was fully prepared for an attack, in fact you might say, if the foe chose to attack, they probably where going to find themselves in for a nasty counter, as per the warrior way, “Never Show Weakness to thy enemy” . It was something that was known by all warriors, a creed if you will that proven time and time again has been the difference between those that survived and those that unfortunately met a untimely demise, .

Jin took notice to the grin, and almost grinned himself, but that was all about to change. Jin followed her movements, this girl was fast, but his eyes were so attuned to watching the fastest hoho users in the entire soul society, he could follow along with his full concentration. She had just shot her sword, sheath and all, into the tree, and with a quick kick off of it, sent the blade into the tree and cause it to explode into tiny pieces. This momentary explosion, if you could even call it that, plus the foggy nature as to where these two were at, caused the girl to vanish. Jin listened, his eyes scanning the area, with his sword ready. He could hear her, she was good, but not that good.

There, he was sure he would have her. Bringing his sword down, Jin tried to block the attack only for her to show her nimble, and speedy escape to his back. Jin started to turn his body to face her when she had managed to hit his side. It didn't hurt, but the force caused Jin to topple over slightly, and fall to his knee. Seeing the next strike coming his way Jin, in the same time she was switching her swords placement within her hand, stabbed the ground and used his upper body strength to lift himself forward and pushing himself off of the ground, and forward about five feet. This little stunt pulled his sword out of the round with him, but he could still feel where he was hit. She was strong too, but for a human this shouldn't be possible. There was definitely something strange about her, and he would be the one to find it.

She wasn't attacking, but instead suggested that Jin now make his counter attack. Obviously she was more than she was letting on, knocking his Kidō away, and even managing to hit him. A grin was still on his face, the look she was giving him was more than terrifying; well, maybe for the average shinigami, but Jin has spent his fair share of this life fighting horrors that would send most people to their mama's home. Jin placed his sword on his shoulder as the girl started to talk. "I'll wait till your done to make my counter...by all means finish your speech." Then she mentioned his metaphor, and it got him thinking. Stories of the past? Books that don't exist? This woman was obviously using words, poetry to dance around her actual topic. What could she be saying? Putting these little tid bits in the back of his mind, and using her short break to speak, Jin responded. "All books, even those in legend, or theory, have pages worth opening. It's just a matter of if you're prepared for what the contents are." The moment he finished, she continued.

Fear? What was that? Jin knew some proud people, those who say they fear nothing. Those who say they've tamed fear, but no, not Jin. He knew better than that, he knew that fear was a strong part of life, and of any fight. "You speak of fear like it's something to be ashamed of..." He started, his left hand resting in his pocket. Shrugging slightly, he continued. "Fear is the strongest, most true part of the life we live. It will drive out any darkness, or fade the light when you're blinded. Fear will save you from death because it is the one instinct that will never leave you." Jin was typically never this serious, normally always adding some sort of quip, line, or wise crack in there. Not today, he knew that that wouldn't fly with her. She was strong, even if she weren't being completely honest with who she was.

Wait wait wait. Did she. Did she seriously just call him "little one"? Jin scoffed, and before she could finish he had to say what was on his mind. With a cheeky grin, and an almost maniacal laughter trying to break free. "Trust me little lady. There's nothing little about me." He let out a snort before listening to her last statement. Wait...Dracula? The man he fought before was a lot like Dracula. Forgotten stories? Not in this world? "You've gotta be...hahaha...you know, it almost makes a sick kind of sense." He started, leaning over patting his knee. His ears, and his senses still keeping their best eye on the girl. Leaning back up, Jin shook his head. "You're one of those Sueki things. Creatures of the night, need blood and sex to live?" Jin would listen to the rest of what she had to say, but he was sure he knew his answer.

Then she started to ask what kind of person, in the face of these 'monsters', he was. Would he run scared? Would he try and burn them alive? That question made him laugh, but he almost felt sympathy for her. Perhaps they weren't that different. There were evil, sadistic, fucked up shinigami, so why couldn't there be the same for Sueki? Maybe there were sensible, kind, and normal people trying to live with their condition. Jin smirked and started to speak. "Well...I'm neither. I won't run, as I have my own things I need to protect. But I also won't burn you alive for what you are. The only thing I know about you is that you don't want me near you. Which...is a little harsh." He smirked, but then He couldn't help but laugh again. She would kill him? For sure? He'd die to see that. Jin nodded along with what she had said. "Well, Arabella, it truly is a pleasure." He said before bowing, and then picking up his head, and pulling his sword down to face her.

"I will not forsaken you, but you have showed me something else. I am enjoying myself so far, and I'd love to continue our little spar. However, I think you might want to release yourself...I know you're hiding yourself, but I will not be hiding too much more from you. " He said this as he brought his sword back, his lips grinning while four words echoed through the forest like landscape. His crimson aura flaring to it's peak, and his eyes now filled with new resolve. "Death be with you. Zetsumei" His blade began to glow the same crimson, his sword changing it's shape into a long black katana. The blade seemingly filled with souls, the hilt that of three dog's heads. Jin brought the blade down to his side and he vanished. His hoho had become something to be admired, and appearing behind the girl he spoke a few more words. "Bakudo 9 - Geki"

As the red light appeared out of his left hand, Jin brought his right arm down attempting to slash the girl in the back. Should the blade make absolutely any contact with her at all, a dog will flow from the blood that was spilled and fight alongside Jin. As both the attacks finished, Jin shunpoed some feet back awaiting his opponents counter. Two seemingly compassionate crimson eyes stared forward, a new kindness coming from him. Maybe this woman could teach him a thing or two.

“Slow you’re so slow”

Arabella instead of moving to the sides what she did was startling kicking up her own body sailing into the air flipping as the red light flashed in her old position, knee’s tucked in while she had in a moment rounded around feet planting firmly on the blades tip, while she had raised her sheath now, as the man vanished from sight. She landed on her feet quickly kicking off, timing it so the moment he landed on the ground her sheath had smashed straight around intercepting the male hopefully with teleporting like speeds, however she pulled back at the last moment, not quite hitting as she let the words that he had said sink in, he would not forsake her.. but nor would he actually give in or be afraid.. a wise answer a wise choice one she could honestly respect, without doubt this one was wise beyond their years. Which is why with lithe grace she jumped back and landed with a rise of snow from the ground her hand gripping the sheath and the handle of the katana as something wickedly ominous scorched the air, her words coming out redoubled in tone from her innate inner strength, power and her very nature as a whole.

“You are wise, Jin and I think I will entrust you with what you seek it is the philosophy that one who chooses the harder road, is either a fool, or a genius in the rough, I will if you wish teach you of the sword, but more than that. Knowing is to be bound by your words of honor , which I will decide now to trust, as you see I am one of the oldest Sueki not hardly one you could call young I have been around since the birth of the race, and survived on earth while others fled this world in favor of one that they could thrive in with perpetual ease and naïve hopes of a better tomorrow, but I learned better paved my road to survival with my own hands, with my own skill and my own resolve.

It was my own eyes that had been shaken awake to this perpetual nightmare that is reality, to the ways the world really worked, it was these things that made me who I am, and forced me to learn to get better. Even through the thick and the thin I never stopped honing my resolve forcing myself to become the being I am today, as to falter is to die, to rest was to be forgotten, to cry was to show weakness. To live for tomorrow, was to fight for today, to pave the path meant to cut down all that opposed you, to keep yourself alive you had to destroy those that threatened your survival to keep living, you had to keep killing, it is the fact of this world you see, even those that are naïve that don’t understand it eventually learn its truth.

Deep in your mind, everybody has the capacity to kill, the capacity to crucial decisions in order to survive, everybody at one time has a event that makes or breaks them, sending them either to the abyss or making them live as bettered beings for tomorrow. The question is how did humanity or demons of the night learn such things, such pains and such truths. However humanity since the dawn of time, has been ruthless beings, they have killed to live, and murdered their own kind, cannibalized they have been a race that has gotten better through the throes of deceit and the thralls of battle, humanity is a sinful race. It is tainted and corrupt, but I cannot really judge those who are alike , as I have killed many to live and continued to kill them, it has been the way I’ve survived the way that everything has been for me, I haven’t had the other option which is why I will do for you what I have not had. In this life I have had no options but just have to keep going keep killing and keep surviving, keep moving for tomorrow, for my silver lining.

So I will show you what you seek. . . But you will be taking responsibility if you wish to see me fully fight. . . I will indulge you because you seem to be a kindred spirit Jin, someone who has given me a tiny stem of hope in this endless blackened night, however everything that has happened may have been because you had not been alive yet, because this night had yet to pass. Fate or destiny take your pick however, because you seem to be worthy of praise , and a man that does not know fear, then I will put your words to the test, do not cry and do not freak out. I am trusting you with the form that has driven so many away, scared so many and caused so much revulsion and hate. I will forsake this human guise to sate your desires, it is only courteous as you have showed me what you wished to show me, and I must respond to you in kind , its only fair don’t you think Jin? While you might call your release one of death, do you know what death is? We will only find out .

Now, don’t hate me for this but, I can’t control myself as well when I release myself in this way, I give over to my desires. It doesn’t matter what happens tonight but before the sun rises either you will be alive, or you will be dead, I’m sorry but the middle ground is rarely present, which is why if you live, I may want one thing from you. . . I would want you to stick by my side , for you seem to have interested me, after this perpetual nightmare, so Prepare yourself. . Here I go”

Slowly the moon seemed to amplify the snow and the ice shining darker, the shadows expanding. It was as if the sky had turned into the blackest night, the ominous winds blowing about her fingers slowly gripping the katana’s handle. Shadows oddly elongating around her, as if they wanted to become alive however this was not the beginning nor was it the end, because her expression seemed to turn cruel, something growing in her mouth, sharpening the slow draw of the blade it was expanding outwards the gleam of silver expanding from the scabbard, her eyes looking straight at the man, her lips pulled back in a grin, as something happened a giggle, bubbled up over the madness, a sickeningly twisted giggle which seemed to slowly escalate turning into a full blown cackling witchy laugh. It was eerie to say the least but what happened was slowly her eyes opened wider turning into pin pricks, as the hair raising effect of it was definitively something that could be felt with ease for the blade was hissing free not quickly but it was definitively hissing free from its sheath while she grinned slowly wider the madness encroaching on her sympathy.
Slowly though the buzz of power it was defecating exploding free from her body expanding outwards the air exploding back a blizzard whipping up as her katana’s deadly edge was reflecting the light, the light of the moon, the winds whipping into a frenzy while the sueki inside was slowly rising to the surface the laughter was increasing not done yet, because slowly her eyes opened wider into pins and needle pricks in a backdrop of the darkest night skies, the blade was a quarter of the way free, the humming of the deadly blade was expanding outwards as if it was wanting to say hello, but this was not the end here no not at all she was just getting warmed up, because the fact was as the blade was almost all the way out her demeanor completely changed, her hand gripping the katana’s handle the deadly edge showing itself in the moonlit night itself, and with her fangs gleaming she slowly had tossed the sheath to the side, where it landed with a clatter , the glowing reflection of the deadly katana trance- inducing to the naked human eye, it was without a doubt a work of art however nothing was done yet it was just getting started.

As the air turned a sickening gray around her, as if something more sinister was expanding around her , her hand slowly gripping the blade, the demeanor completely changing as It seemed like she was some kind of monster of the night, the blade slowly sliding into a suitable position before she kicked off the speed was greatly increased her body vanishing in the mere step flickering forward the grin expanding so that it seemed to become almost like a monster’s grin in disguise the once charming girl long gone, the blade coming around vanishing as it struck once quickly to the middle of the torso, the right strike coming in to the middle of the ribs, switch blading back to the lower right ankle and rotating after with a flick of the wrist to the shoulder while something else happened here, her eyes opening and the grin expanding, stepping to the side, she seemed to blur and vanish once again in her raw speed while her eyes where wide open, as if the world was moving slow to her she seemed to be moving intensely fast.

“HEEAHAHAHAHAHAAAAHAAAA”

The laughter echoed as her form briefly had reappeared in the mere seconds following that previous split second attack, blade flashing towards the back of the man’s shoulder going downwards in a diagonal slash, however hiding in that slash was a lightning quick reverse that made a double slash in the time a normal swordsman only was able to cut once, her feet of course had sprung into the air sending her flipping as her foot came down her body hidden by the light of the moon, while of course the foot seemed to vanish delivering a rapid stomping of a couple hundred rapid kicks to the face in that mere second, while she kicked off flipping and rotating, the blade flipping up as she was in midair – mid flip infact, dealing if it hit a slash to the torso of the upward horizontal variant, her feet landing on the ground and kicking off the moment of landing, flipping back again, knee coming down hard on top of the males head probably, but only then if it hit or was blocked she extended her leg so a hard kick came to the small of the back this forcing her back as well into another flip.

It was this flip that she recovered from landing on a tree knee’s bent. And she kicked off blade coming around razor fast literally feinting in high speed to the small of the back and then just to reverse to a blow to the left arm her whole body contorting so that she landed to the left of this arm her blade moving right, and her feet moving back. This three movement bringing her into striking distance while moving her in a blur out of range in a span of a few moments, and of course each of these attacks had been placed so that it would be hard to shunpo or evade by using his favorite method of attack, however at this moment she slowly had been moving again as she had landed leaning back and flipping using momentum straight leg flipping onto a tree where she kicked off blade flashing around as it aimed towards the ground striking into the ground just in the front of where jin had been sending herself flipping over to land on a tree branch blade in on guard however she was ready and something off was about her.. Just what was going on?

Jin watched the girl dip, weave, and dodge her way through his attacks. Granted he hadn't been too serious up until this point, he only attacked a couple times, and he wanted to test the woman in front of him. He grinned when she flipped, twirled, and then subsequently landed in front of him. She was very good on her feet, she was strong, but that seemed to be the extent of her powers in this state for her. Jin listened to her, his eyes watching her's as she moved and spoke. She had complimented him, and with that he nodded his head in her direction, she could be kind, as he knew. And she was quite wise herself, but she seemed to be mistaken about just how old he was. Jin has been around on this earth for more than seven centuries, he has seen more horrors than some of his elder colleges, and he has committed his own share of atrocities to survive. But he learned, he grew, and he could feel that she had done the same.

He didn't interrupt her like he had before; he wanted to listen, to see where her mind was. He had agreed to not banish her for what she was, but that was also while she was in this state. Jin wasn't sure what to expect if or when she released herself into whatever state she had been before becoming calmed, and sealed. He sighed, as she started to bring up humanity and their reckless ways. Yes, humanity was dangerous, yes they were harmful, and yes they were evil; but they were also kind, benevolent, and truly good people. They weren't all evil, and they weren't all worth the hate that they receive by some of the other races. They were learning, advancing, and becoming more and more powerful as the years pass. Jin took in a deep breath, and during one of the pauses he spoke.

"To be honest Ara...You don't mind if I call you Ara right?" He winked before placing his left hand in his pocket, and once more placing his sword upon his right shoulder. "I'm not SO prideful that I'll turn down a helping hand. If you think you can show me something worth learning, by all means...show me, but I'm no push over either." He grinned leaning down, stabbing his sword into the ground once more listening to the girl. He had his body slightly turned away from her, his voice very quietly, and under her breath whispering the name of a Kidō. If he were going to continue fighting her, he would need to better prepare himself for this woman's monstrous strength and her tenacious, and vicious fighting style. He made sure that she wouldn't be able to see where he placed it as to keep it a surprise, he was sure having every advantage he could get was best. "Millon Escudo" Now, should the woman strike that spot, the barrier will activate giving Jin a small barrier of protection against whatever onslaught she has planned.

After rising from, what looked like a meditative state, Jin grabbed his blade and once more picked up on the woman's words. She liked to talk, that was for sure. The past ten or so minutes were filled with dialogue from the woman, and only about three minutes worth of actual fighting, but maybe when she released herself, that would be the opposite. Now, that isn't to say that he didn't like her speeches or what she had to say; they were all lovely, and they all showed him just what kind of person she was, but he didn't come all the way out here to have a debate. He came here to find out what killed the hollow, and find what killed the hollow he did. It just came with a lot of words attached. He laughed for a moment until he realized something, she was going to release herself now? Perfect, Jin had proven himself....by telling her he wouldn't forsaken her? I'll take it! He said to himself inside of his mind. He waited, his eyes plastered on her hands, still listening to her words, and then to her blade. Yes, yes, yes!

Wait...stay by her side? He looked up at her for a moment, his brow arched. "Look, I'll be your friend for sure. I'll visit, but the gotei is where my heart lies. I have to be there for my division, and I've gotta do what's right. My days as a stray dog are done." He said as he mentioned his own nickname. And he would do just that. Why should he not be friends with her? Because she was a Sueki? Because she needed sex and blood to survive? It's like condemning a lion for killing a gazelle. You just don't, and then his eyes once more found her sword. He watched intensely at her hands as she slowly pulled the sword from her sheath. So....very...slowly. What was she doing? Was this part of her ritual? Was this for dramatic effect? Jin could only wonder. His eyes began to wonder, and then snapped back to the sword. Argh! He inwardly groaned, but then couldn't help but laugh. This was kinda funny, her taking so long to release herself.

What if his bankai took this long to release, pulling the sword out of his cut only a half a centimeter every couple seconds, waiting for himself to bleed out. Speaking of which... He needed to figure out his bankai more. The thing was strong, for sure, but he wasn't a master by any stretch of the imagination. He laughed again, just thinking if he was actually in a life or death situation. What was I doing again? And then as the final bit of his thought faded from his mind, Jin heard the sheath fall into the snow. Arching a brow, he snapped back to reality and realized that he WAS in a life or death situation. She had just finished pulling the sword from her sheath, and he could feel her energy rising; she was strong, and fast, and one helluva swordsman...woman...whatever.

"Yes!" Jin snapped his fingers and raised his left hand like a light bulb had just gone off. Focusing his energy, he started to prepare another Kidō. "Bakudo 11 - Haru Bōdo" He had to hurry, and He needed to even the playing field with this woman, and making himself faster would do just that. The sword was fully drawn, and her demeanor had completely shifted. Some would say that they could feel death incarnate, and for Jin that was an everyday thing. His sword, his Zanpakutō, and everything about him was death incarnate but this girl...this demon of the night, definitely gave him a run for his money. He watched her vanish, but having just finished his own technique, he was ready. Spinning his body he held his sword to his side blocking the sword, knocking it away. He watched her blade, and quickly shifted his ankle to slide back into the snow. Finally Jin dropped the upper half of his body bringing his left hand back to catch himself. The girl had vanished back and with a quick shift of his weight Jin used left arm to push himself into the air, landing a few feet from her.

That laughter...it was so maniacal, and sadistic. Evil? Perhaps not. She was like an animal being released after ages of containment. Jin would be the outlet for her aggression, and perhaps help her to control the wild nature. Jin watcher her as intently as anyone could, but he really needed to find someway to get to her without setting himself up. Jin calculated, his mind racing at light speed. His eyes wiggling as the thoughts rapidly followed one after the other. If he were going to do anything, he was going to need to do it soon. Then she vanished again. This time appearing behind him, as she brought her sword down, and then up again. Normally this strike would have landed, but given Jin's own ability with the sword, and his slightly increased speed thanks to the Kidō he had just cast, she was only faintly faster, and following movements was something he had gotten used to.

Jin combined his shunpo with his his swordsmanship. Instead of using shunpo to move forward, he simply shunpoed in one spot, only slightly moving his body to the left to avoid the first strike, and then quickly bringing his right arm up with his sword following knocking the blade away. In mere moments, she was in the air and Jin had only moments to react. Using the time from her leaving the ground, to getting into the air, Jin brought his arm up uttering a couple of words. "Bakudo 39 - Enkōsen" With no incantation required, and his decent ability in the art of Kidō this was the most efficient form of blocking her attack. However, instead of waiting for the shield to break because of her strength, and speed, Jin leaped backwards away from the rest of her kicks. "What the hell are ya? A swordsman or a ballerina!? Sit the hell still woman!"

Having already created some decent distance between the two of them, Jin brought his sword across, knocking her's away. She was insistent on cutting him open, wasn't she? Then, after landing she once more flipped toward him trying to bring her knee down onto his skull. Utilizing his increased speed, and his ability to read others movements with his advancement in shunpo, Jin simply rolled out of the way laying on his back, watching as the woman landed on the tree branch and was, you guessed it, once more on his tail trying to cut him open. Having laid there, the woman only had one place to go, and using this to his advantage Jin gathered reiatsu to his left hand and cast a quick, short Hadō to cause the snow, and dirt to rise up, creating a small veil of dirty snowy darkness. "Hadō 31 - Shakkahō" Using the sure distraction this caused, Jin vanished within the cloud of smoke and dust.

While within the cloud, Jin shivered slightly; he needed to cast one more Kidō, but it was really starting to get to him. He was starting to really wear himself thin, and the cold was really getting to him. Cracking his back, Jin swung his sword creating a small glyph from under him. This glyph drained him of six ounces of blood, shooting six red beams at the woman. These beams would all fire at her last position, one after the other with the final beam following her so long as Jin kept eye contact on her. Next, using his blade on himself, Jin cut his arm open and from the blood spilled, a wolf grew. As the dust started to settle and the wolf and beams heading for the woman, Jin nodded his head to the beat of his internal theme song, a classic from the twenty-first century. 'Dance with the Devil'. With eyes still on her, Jin shunpoed to her side with his hand up to her side. "Bind them within the holy symbol! Bakudo 20 - Binding Cross"

The Bakudo had an even higher chance of landing than his repvious attempt at ensnaring the woman because of a few things. Jin had caused a distraction using the Hadō on the ground, picking up the dust, and cloaking himself. Added to that his dog, and his beams would all be heading her way; besides, we all know woman love shiny things, and what's more shiny than lasers. Added that Jin's shunpo is top notch, and we've got ourselves a nasty mix of logical outcomes. And should this cross land on it's target, and string this woman up, then the dog casting it's reiatsu burst, and the red beams would all collide. This would cause some significant damage, and would surely slow her down. Finally, as the words left his lips, and his Kidō was cast, Jin shunpoed back staring at the woman making sure to keep complete and utter eye contact on her.

“SLOW SLOW SLOW SLOW SLOW WHY ARE YOU SO SLOW JIN HEHEHEAWWWW”

Her voice seemed to come from the vanishing folds of the night, as her body seemed to glitch three of her forming from speed alone, as the cross slammed around and seemed to be sure to catch her but at the last second she dropped below, hands going behind her body, and under her back springloading her under it like she was limbo’in her body landing in a flip and kicking off her blade which she had kicking into the ground her body rolling consecutively once more in a second or less the blade was in her hand, her feet landing as she kicked off, sliding into the fog, one clean strike blasting everything apart but if that had been the end, it seemed to be that the shadows had gotten darker and even for the fog itself she could look through the shadows, as her shadow site had expanded outward gathering up the visible sites of the shadows, even the users own shadow, she had gathered his location in an instant her body flying forward the blade coming down but it seemed to pull back missing in a feint her hand coming straight down, shadows expanding wickedly on her palm as she grinned a 2 foot wide and 6 foot long blade expanding from the plane of shadows in the span of mere moments. “SHADOW BLADE”

“I found you little birdy LETS DANCE”

The shadow blade flew down faster than even her own blade as she grinned wider the blade was exploding into action coming right no left? Or was it from the top? Or was it from below? ..HEL WHERE WAS IT COMING FROM JESUS!?!?!? The fact was it came from the right to the navel reversed left with her hand(to the abdomen and upper left pectoral) and then re-arced down(to the left fenril artery) and reversed up,(to the hollow at the base of the neck flowing to the chin) followed by her kicking off the ground and delivering a jack kick to the solar plexis flipping off, and this all? Took place as the shadow blade was flying at the man, meaning that jin would not only if these hit or miss be in pain, but he would also be then probably pile-driven by a rapidly expanding blade of pure shadow stuff. But however something interesting happened those beams that where following her well, she had flipped behind them and before they could reverse hovering there inches from Jins person she had swung her blade releasing a black veiled stroke colliding with the beams causing them all to, you guessed it , to explode outward with a BOOOOOOOOOOOM!: her face was grinning in wild glee as she landed into a cartwheel rolling rolling gone, her feet colliding with a tree as she kicked off a sonic boom occurring.

“HERE I COME POPPET!”

From that kick she slid on the ground her free elbow kicking into the ground forcing her moments away from jin to flip straight into the air doing a double flip in a span of mere nanoseconds. Her foot coming down hard in a feignt her blade slashing after straight at the head but it missed too her elbow coming straight down in the shadow of the blade “shadow rush” and just like that her body was flared around with shadows mid air, the elbow smashing straight into the back of his head probably at least while she flipped and landed on her toes kicking off, she had become a tiny blurr of images mirroring around the field, she just laughed now as she noticed he had gotten faster from the previous parry she thought, her eyes narrowing , lashes hiding her bemusement. “..He’s gotten faster I guess I can show him TRUE SPEED”

Her feet now kicked off hitting tree after tree, the combination of quick movement ,strength, speed and specialty caused her speed to make the previous speed’s she was going at pale in comparison to her current speed, it was like a mirror image army of one around jin’s body all of them landing on the tree’s as blurs had happened between them, her eyes narrowing shadow sight giving her a omnidirectional view of the battle while she landed behind him and in the breath of time that it took a high speed camera shutter to close her blade came around hopefully to strike the back. By now the shadow blade she had thrown? It had grown to the side of a skyscraper tree’s exploded that thing jutting up HIGH into the sky. It exploded dissipating as she looked slowly at the foe, her grin widening her sword flicking around for a downward stroke to the nose, however it reversed last second to a point blank gut shot, her body then dismounting and landing on a tree where she kicked off her body vanishing once more.

“Come on, I thought you had to be faster than this, give me some entertainment at least geez, I feel like everything is going to hell in a hand basket and I’m watching a granny try to run laps”

From there she grinned flipping and dismounting blade a deadly blur in the middle of the night her eyes gleaming like blades her mouth contorted into an insane grin. Teeth and fangs showing she just seemed to find this whole situation to be amusing, her body moving in high speed eyes opening wider and she felt like she was for the first time, so utterly alive. . As for the wolf, she had earlier slid over it, which is why in her fast movements she still had the wolf trailing behind her unable to keep up with her speed.

Artist: Breaking Benjamin - Song: I will not bow - Word Count: 819

There was a mix of emotions swirling inside of the young looking shinigami. He was entranced by the woman, blown away at how nimble and graceful she moved when she dodged, and weaved through the snow and darkness, but then at the same time he was angry. He had taken all of that time, energy, and she simply dodged it away, or shattered the cross, and Jin couldn't help but frown. Still, he loved a good challenge, and taking on this woman was certainly just like that, a challenge. Jin watched as she started to once more contort her body, but what was this? A shadow blade? So she was finally using the sueki signature powers....GREAT!

She had dismounted the shadow blade, and quickly began her attack on Jin. His Kidō that made him faster had worn off, and he could feel the after affects of going so fat only to suddenly stop. He couldn't move properly for a moment, taking the first slash to his abdomen. But then, without even registering the pain, Jin's facial expression grinned wildly. The woman had fallen into his trap when her blade made it's way up to his chest. The million shield activated, blocking the attack and with that Jin used that moment to bring his sword up in a striking motion across her chest. Then, as his sword finished it's arc toward the sky, Jin shunpoed backwards, and avoiding the rest of her attacks. Then, placing his left hand upon his abdomen and looking t the blood. Well then, this was a first. Someone ELSE had cut him without him having to cut himself.

He looked back at the woman, raising his bloodied hand and waving his fingers at her. It seemed like he was teasing her with his blood, grinning wildly as he did so. Jin took notice that his dog was still chasing the woman. It made Jin well up in the eyes to see his faithful servant work so hard to chase, and catch this woman. It also made him chuckle because the blood dog was, well, nothing more than blood. Jin took his attention back to the woman and the shadow blade that was now making it's way toward him. Jin arched a brow, but quickly took a stance as he readied his blade. Bringing his blade across the the shadow blade, he shattered it into nothingness. During this destruction of the shadow blade, Jin saw the woman sliding along the ground, and then, as she used her elbow to launch herself into the air, she brought her blade around only just barely missing his head. During this slash Jin began to turn his body toward the woman, colliding his released blade with her shadow arm, knocking it away.

The woman was one acrobatic ball of energy. The moment she'd land somewhere, she'd be up again in the trees, completely and utterly trying her best to stay away from him, get in her quick shots, and then again be back in the trees. He knew the shadows had a lot to do with their powers, and the way they moved and fought, but what else could they do? He needed to cut the connection one way, or another. Before she could get near him with her blurs and speed clones, Jin focused his reiatsu, and he was running low, into another Kidō. "Bakudo 33 - Kurokumo" He only had one intention with this Kidō, block out the light to block out the shadows. Now, anyone could still follow reiatsu, and leave the 50 foot area, but Jin only needed it for a moment. He called out one more name, his next attack toward the woman. " Drip of the Acid Tooth" By calling out the name, and once more focusing on the woman's reiatsu, the dog she had left alone was starting to morph and change. Turning into a sword, the blade will follow the woman unti he either dissipates or makes contact. Should it make contact with the woman, the feeling will be an immeasurable pain, but it will now pierce the skin. However, should his counter earlier have landed, and this also make contact, the pain would surely be amplified.

Now, Jin needed to leave the darkness, and make sure that this woman didn't get the chance to flee from the blade. Shunpoing to her side, the darkness soon dissipating as the Kidō vanished, Jin would dip low, bring his sword across hier thigh. Using the momentum from the swing, Jin would allow his body to twirl with the blade, placing both hands on the ground and bringing one leg up to try and kick her in the ribs, and not her into the air. Hopefully this combo would be enough for her to full ascend into her final state, and the maybe even give Jin his own reason to show her his final form.
