Re: The Garden

[Mitsu]

Regaining her footing and standing on her own two feet. Mitsu shivered at sound coming not from her shikai but from an actual person. Was this another Bount? He was using raw power to create sound within the area. Enough sound to send his chilling whisper across several times "Bount?..."

"Who-?"

In an instance the man appeared behind Mitsu, resting his hand on her shoulder. Although his power was suppressed Mitsu clearly felt it. Enormous power. This made the shinigami falter slightly, although she was still standing only parts of what was going to happen next seemed to register.

"Shinigami, you'll find this strange.. And attack me as you may - but in this moment, your life is saved."

Indeed Mitsu did find this strange what was this intense feeling? Mitsu could no longer move. This was exactly like a dream to the shinigami. Mitsu felt like as if her lungs were gasping fro air, under mountains of water. Even if she wanted to attack this man she couldn't. The next thing she knew that man... no re-correction... that espada number "2" was engaging in battle with her Bount attacker.

Mitsu... being uniformed about most things of the past would try to guess that hollows didn't mix well with bounts and this would soon become all justified to be true as a sweet voice broke Mitsu's train of thought.... It belonged to none other than Eshilieth. As Eshilieth stated the name of the Primera and then her bount attacker, Mitsu felt as if she had become a bystander in these few climactic moments.

As Seth and Eshilieth began their full on attack on each other. Mitsu could only stand and watch from her position helplessly. The enormous spiritual pressure of each combatant was clear.

As Seth made his spiritual rocket even higher and higher. Mitsu could barely keep her composure but gritted her teeth and continued to observe. As soon as Seth's spiritual pressure dropped, the spiritual pressure would pan out throughout the area Mitsu steadily tried to focus her energy into controlling her breathing. She felt like she had been running non-stop, when in actually she hadn't moved from her position from when she had stood.

Mitsu alerted herself as a thought struck her. Where was her bount attacker... Yumi? Her eyes scanned the area.

[Setoku]

"Oh.... What's this now?"

The Reiatsu seemed to force itself into reality, around Eshilieth, and perhaps around the entire area. It was strong, enough to force a normal Shinigami or Bount onto the ground, gasping for air in some cases. Not Eshilieth, however. She merely stood in place, as her hair and dress seem to kick around in the unseen wind of Reiatsu.

"Oh my... Almost as strong as her...."

The Reiatsu thickened, going up 8, no, ten times it's original source. And a black cloud-like veil seem to enshroud them. But as quick as the Reiatsu pumped out, it suddenly dropped, becoming so little it was hardly worth the initial shock.

"Seek and eliminate, Furia de la bestia."

At this Eshilieth stepped back, eyes wide. It had been some time since she had fought with a released Arrancar. Especially one this strong. His Reiatsu seemed to tie him with Setoku, perhaps it was even slightly higher than that. As everything begun to clear, a more refined, sane beast begun to appear to her. And a beast was what he was. His sword was held backhand, and the original ball of energy seem to encompass his sword. The man screamed out Gran Rei, and shot forward. His sword glowing. She knew what this was, but she needed to get it across somehow.

"Oh my, Seth-san. So...."

Eshilieth shot forward as well, still one hand held open. As the two closed in to each other, she spoke, a slight giggle in her voice.

"Weak."

The girl's lips pulled back into a smile, as the distance became more than close enough for him to attack. And to make it even more embarrassing for the Ancient One, she finished his "Gran. Rei." for him.

"...Cero."

--------------------------------------------------------------------

As the battle raged on between Mistress Eshilieth and the Hollow intruder, Yumi moved within the shadows. Slowly covering her ground, and movement, until she was within striking range of the Shinigami. She was scanning the area with her eyes, looking for something. Most likely her; it was amusing. And again, poetic.

"DIE, SHINIGAMI!"

From some bushes Yumi jumped, throwing her body toward the girl. Between the power of this Seth, and the unidentified reiatsu count of the Mistress, clearly her Zanpakutou's abilities had been made null. For even Yumi heard herself. And not only that, she heard another voice, as well.

"I am afraid I cannot allow that, Yumi-dono."

Between Mitsu and the flying Yumi, another stranger appeared. Her wore the same robes of the Shinigami, along with a..... White Haori? The number on the back identifying him as.... Second Squad Captain? Yumi's eyes grew wide, as she fell toward the man now.

"Former Second Squad Captain Kurome Izanga! How poetic! A traitor helping a Shinigami!"

"....Hado number 4: Byakurai."

Kurome pointed his index and middle finger at the girl, and in flash of white light, Yumi's body was sent flying back to the bushes. Whether she survived that or not, Kurome wasn't about to wait and find out.

"Come, Shinigami. My orders are to escort you to a safe haven to go back to Soul Society from. At the behest of Mistress Eshilieth."

[Mitsu]

As Mitsu was alerted to Yumi's presence via "DIE, SHINIGAMI!", among the chaos she turned to see Yumi flying towards her from the bushes, too late to change the direction of her zapakuto the shingami could only flinch as yet another voice broke through. The arrival of a stranger. A stranger in shinigami robes and wearing a white haori. Mitsu could only murmur...

"Squad 2-?"

Before the once a former captain had done away with Yumi using a simple kido spell. Sending her flying back from whence she came. Mitsu couldn't see what had happened with Yumi... her attacker, neither did she want to find out. But other things would be running through her head. Just like this one...

"E-Escort? Wait Mistress Eshilieth? Wha- What about Yumi?"

Great. Fantastic. Mitsu had started worrying again. Back to her normal self even though the situation was totally out of proportion for it. Her hands fretted about as she continued to think over the events that went about. Although it was clear the shinigami was under alot of pressure, clear by the hazed eyes as tried to speak with Kurome.

[Setoku]

(This is gonna be a Eshilieth vs Seth deal I guess... With Setoku and someone else showing up, so posting to take Mitsu out of here and finish it off in another thread. Free her charrie up.)

"I see... You were sent to the real world without the proper experience.... Foolish Shinigami."

Wait... What? Kurome raised an eyebrow, his lavender eyes reflecting an unseen hatered, yet a grudging respect. He flipped his Haori back, and dropped either hand on the girls shoulders.

"If you want, Shinigami, I may explain later. My mistress would be displeased if I didn't. But don't expect the whole truth. You're too young to know of the... Boundary between races."

And with one final glare in Seth's direction, the two would be gone. To whereabouts unknown.

(I'll post in the warehouse district for ya Mitsu-chan. )

[Mitsu]

"I see... You were sent to the real world without the proper experience.... Foolish Shinigami."

Mitsu didn't know whether Kurome was talking about her... OR her choice in occupation. However this remark did make her feel annoyed. Although it was true Mitsu lacked knowledge of the past. As it didn't have much bearing on her present. Something she would need to correct but never got around to doing.

Just as fast as her thought was she felt a hand on her shoulder and then the background blurred as the two shinigami's had disappeared from the scene.
