Tokyo Drifter

The lone slim girl wandered through the night back alleys alone. She was wearing her usual red shirt that had Valkyrie in big black letters across it diagonally with the V closer to the bottom and going up and her usual torn up jeans with one leg missing the entire pant leg. She preferred this attire.. it made it alot easier to move around with and she made it look awesome. She tilted her green beret a bit on her head and put her hands in her pockets as she kept to herself while walking. Not that many people used the back alleys in this city anyways..

Tokyo was pretty quite.. with Karakura town being the main attraction for the creepy weird stuff she didn't have to worry about much here. It'd been a while since she had been here though..considering she was over two hundred years old as a shinigami, a soul reaper, someone who was technically dead. Heh.. She wondered what would happen to a dead person if they die again.. Soul Society made it seem like a big deal but if you thought about it..

Kisara shook her head and sighed. She hated thinking too much. That's why she had taken the walk to begin with to not have to think.. Damn. It wasn't working. Something needed to happen soon..

A man with long, black hair which reached down his back was jumping from building to building to building in Tokyo. He was dressed in a customized samurai outfit. It had the top part of a purple kimono, with a black piece of very flexible armor over that, which had a small, white zig-zag design at the top. He had an upright collar, which is connected to his sleeves, and buckled across his chest, near his throat. He wore stylized, finger-less gloves, which fit perfectly with his sleeves. He had black hakama, with a white zig-zag design on the bottom of them, over his chest armor. This was held in place by a white obi, in which he carried two blades. He wore normal Shinigami sandals. He also had a white band tied on his forehead, with a metal plate on the front. Parius Chitose smiled a little bit. Leaping from building to building, Parius just allowed his body to move on it's own.

It had been a while since he had been in Tokyo, but he still knew some ways through it. Feeling the cold air on his face, Parius's mind soon drifted back to the plans he had laid out, some of which he still needed to do. He especially needed to find a new Susanoo Blade, as Akiko had died in a place called Grenztod. Even though he really didn't know her, Parius still felt sad because of her death. Losing a comrade always hit hard for him. Parius made the last couple of leaps to go to the building he wanted to land on. Or, at least he tried. He managed to catch his foot on the rim of a building, and was about to topple over. Waving his arms wildly to try and balance himself, Parius fell right into an alley, before landing on the ground, his back on the ground. "Ow." He said, sitting up, and rubbing his back.

(OOC: Just for reference, Parius looks like this)

Spoiler:

Someone suddenly feel down infront of her.. She had been so preoccupied with herself that she hadn't even felt them coming. As he sat up she tched because she felt shinigami energy from him. This was bad.. Did they already reclaim Soul Society? Was she already back in the Bingo book for deserting? She didn't give the man the chance to say his name or anything else because she immediately attacked him. "Kiiroi senkō keri!" She shouted as she did a kick in place from bottom to top which released an arc of yellow energy, similar to Okasen, except more powerful, more narrow, and able to cut through defenses much easier. This kidou was made even more powerful by her special ability which increased it's power by 50% and caused the number symbols on her gloves, which had read eight, to seven in Roman numerals. So it now looked like VII on her gloves in gold and with a gold circle around them.

She hopped onto the nearest rooftop after releasing that and started to shunpo away as quickly as she could.. She was only at a high vice-captain level but she was still very fast for her level.. So she hoped she could outrun the man. She'd dip and weave through the alleys after jumping across three buildings and landing on the ground so she was even harder to spot. She was NOT getting caught by the god damn Gotei. She was NOT getting thrown into Maggot's Nest for just wanting to be recognized. She wasn't going to allow it. So she ran. As fast as she could.

( Whoo hoo! )

Parius rubbed his back. Getting up, he saw a woman down the alleyway. She then launched a yellow wave of energy at him. "Oh, come on! Right off the bat?!" He said, jumping up and over the attack. Landing on the roof of the building next to the alleyway, he saw her run away. Activating his Ryu no Me, Parius deduced that she was a Shinigami. Deactivating the eye, two possibilities ran through his head. Either the Gotei was actually trying to kill him, which seemed highly unlikely, or she was on the run from the Gotei, and thought Parius was in the Gotei.

Well, I just need to tell her that I'm not in the Gotei. Parius thought. He then Shunpo'ed after her, using his absolute fastest. When he got up to her, Parius would slow down enough so he would be going the same speed. "Hey, I know you think I'm in the Gotei, seeing as I am a Shinigami. But your sort of wrong on that account. I left the Gotei a while back." He hoped that would be enough to stop her. If she tried attacking him again, Parius would try and dodge that attacks.

The shinigami had caught up to her rather quickly. Damn.. She figured as much based on how much spiritual energy he was natural outputting, but being faced with it as a fact was annoying as hell. He then tried to explain he wasn't with Gotei, which she figured was a trick to lure her into an unguarded moment. In her time as a shinigami she had not heard of a single shinigami that had escaped into the world of the living and she wasn't about to believe some random stranger who obviously had captain class reiatsu.

As he stopped talking she just frowned at him and suddenly one of her legs sparked with electricity while she was continuing to run. As this happened and the leg hit the ground lightning quickly discharged and travelled along the ground and up the man's body, assuming he wasn't off the ground by the time it reached him given how close he was the electricity had the same power as hadou no 31 shakkaho but she empowered it by 50% in power and speed. The number on her glove reducing from seven to six in the process.. The instant he moved to deal with this attack six rods of yellow light would try to slam into his abdoment from all sides at once very quickly which again reduced the number on her gloves by one..resulting in five..because she empowered this kidou as well for extra power speed and duration. If these succeeded he would be rendered immobilized at least temporarily.. or so she hoped. She remembered outrageously powerful people like Kenpachi Zaraki being able to break those kidou with sheer strength.. She really hoped he wasn't like that.

But that was okay because both of those were mere diversions. While those were happening Kisara suddenly turned into four Kisara's in total and each split off in different directions as fast as they could she extended it's duration by 50% so it wouldn't wear off just yet but soon which reduced her gloves numbers to four IV. Kisara herself though used this as a trick and had continued going straight ahead. No one would think the original would so openly stay to the same path so the success rate of this was extremely high..

Parius frowned when the woman didn't speak. She then sent lightning at him, at the same moment they stepped on a building. Parius knew he couldn't dodge it, so he got ready for the attack. It hit him, and it stung quite a bit, but otherwise Parius was fine. Until six rods of light slammed into him, stopping his movement. Parius was seriously starting to get irritated. He at least learned how to get out of this Kido when he was in the Gotei. Pushing a huge amount of Spiritual Pressure to the forefront, Parius released it all, at the same time trying to move. After about 5 seconds (it took him 5 to get his Spiritual Pressure up), Parius broke the Kido.

Rubbing his abdomen, he was met with four identical woman going off in different directions. "This is too much trouble." He said, scratching his head. The only reason I even followed her in the first place was because she attacked me. If she wanted to fight, I would've gladly obliged. He then Shunpo'ed after one of the identical women, activating his eye again. Following her for a bit, she then just disappeared. Looking around, Parius realized he had followed a clone. Damn it. I hate this so much right now. Going around, he found another one, but it disappeared as well. Breathing steadily to calm himself, Parius took off around the city, looking for the last two.

The plan had worked! The guy had taken off after one of the clones and by now the other clone had dispersed as well. Kisara was panting a little less than a mile from where she had started as she leaned her back against one of the buildings. Surely he couldn't find her now. She sat down and grumbled a bit, "This sucks I was having such a nice day too. DAMN it Gotei leave me the hell alone!"

She was going to stay here and rest for a bit. There was no way he could find her now. Especially with her suppressing her spiritual pressure. That suited Kisara just fine. She didn't want to fight someone who was obviously stronger than her right now anyways. She couldn't believe he had actually tried to claim to not be from Gotei. No Shinigami that strong had been allowed out of Gotei before. She was sure of it. Then again a century is a long time.. maybe they have since then..

"god damn it." She said as she started to wonder if maybe she had acted a little too hasty. She didn't feel bad for her attacking him more than she felt bad that she had gotten the situation wrong to begin with.

Parius groaned, as the last clone disappeared as well. "Well, seeing as only four of them went in different directions, all that is left is to find the real one." Parius was starting to get a bit bored, however. Just running after someone wasn't his forte. But, he put that thought in the back of his head, before moving in the last direction one of the woman had gone in. Airwalking, and jumping from building to building, looking for any trace of her, Parius was starting to wonder if he should just go back to Rome.

Parius landed on a building, and just had a little break from searching. He knew that this would give the woman a chance to run away, but it seemed hopeless at this point to Parius. However, something urged him to release his spiritual pressure. Not alot, but enough so that, maybe, the woman would come to find him. Kuroi stirred in it's usual sleep, and Parius placed a hand on his blade, out of reflex. Then, as he expected, one of the few hollows in the area appeared. Parius merely looked at it, with passing interest. He kept his hand on his blade though, in case the Hollow decided to attack.

She started walking backwards after more thinking on the matter. Though it looked more like sulking because she was still disappointed she had gotten this all wrong. She wasn't going to apologize though. When she made it back to his location a hollow was circling around as if debating whether or not to try him for dinner.

"Kaen Bakuhatsu!" She said while she was firing multiple fireballs from her hands and feet in quick jabs and leg shuffles. each one exploding upon making contact with the hollow essentially turning it to dust. She empowered this too since the hollow was a little stronger than she originally thought. turning her gloves numbers from 4 to zero in the process. When this happened the Zero turned into a pentagram and boosting her kidou abilities much more than before.

"A real gotei member would have killed it without a moments hesitation." She said with some venom as she glanced the man's odd attire over once again. It wasn't standard but then again when she left a century ago the shinigami robes weren't forced on everyone. Most people just liked them, "Who are you then and why did you bother following me if you aren't Gotei here to capture me?"

Parius merely watched as the woman shot fireballs at the Hollow, reducing it to ash. Looking up at her, with a bored expression on his face, Parius shrugged. "Had it done anything other than stare at me, it would've died. I doubt it would've done much damage to me anyway." Parius raised an eyebrow at the next question. "Why? How about the fact that you attacked for no other reason than the fact that I fell off a roof? I'm sure you could've gotten away from an actual Gotei member if you wanted to. Attacking me didn't help either. If you hadn't of done that, I wouldn't have even bothered with you. And maybe you should give me your name, before asking for mine."

Parius crossed his arms, before falling silent again. He seemed deep in thought. "So, the Gotei are actually after you then? That's....unfortunate. I know how they can be with rogues, or traitors." Parius debated saying the next thing. In the end, he decided to say it. "I used to be a Vizard, but I left before they could sentence me to exile, or worse, kill me. I did it to save my friends the pain of watching that. Why did you leave. I'm guessing you didn't ask first." Parius seemed genuinely interested.
