I will not rest! (Ana)

[Asano Keigo]

It was turning dark in the town of Karakura, night had set upon the town and it all became quiet too quiet for this time. There was a strong breeze though it was warm considering the time of year.

The stepping of feet echoed through a street for it was Itsuki and Nadie but no Mikaru. ''How could you let this happen!!'' Itsuki bellowed at the chery red headed girl who pucked up her bottom lip. ''Shut up...it wasnt my fault the stupid slob wasnt quick enough to escape'' she replied as she turned her back and folded her arm.

''Dont you get it you stupid girl! if Mikaru spills everything to them were done for!''' he said and he turned Nadie round to face him.

[Shoshi Ana]

It was a quiet night, that was never a good sign in her mind. What Isshin had told her worried her, she needed to stay clear of her grandfather, lie to him, do something get draw him away and not follow her. She didn't know what to do though she was very angry hearing the fact Rukia had been against Ichigo and had not believed him, how could that be! Was she that stupid!

She sighed a little carrying her school case. She'd finished up later today after helping touture someone in mathematics and was only just walking home now. She shivered a little but ignores it, her ears rang slightly but she knew Shinigami were out and about they would deal with the Hollow, she was more concerned about Ichigo and the trouble he was now in. How was she supposed to help him when he wouldn't even talk to her and yet her father told her everything but still it was not the same.

For a moment she stopped in her tracks looking over her shoulder and frowned slightly before she walked on once more, something odd was going on tonight.

[Asano Keigo]

''Its not my fault!!'' Nadie protested ''It is your fault you shouldnt of left him...now he's going to blow our cover before ive even done what i set out to do! all you had to do was check out what was going on that was it'' he sighed. ''Ah but i did find something out for you...Kurosaki got his power back'' she said to which Itsuki smirked ''Come about!'' he said and then looked away in thought as he held his chin. ''Is that right now...well dont tell me he's gonna try and kill me...that'd make him a murderer...'' he grinned. Nadie frowned ''Yeah but he's still not anywhere near as strong as he was...there building him up now probably...be careful Itsuki-Sama wont you...you know he's a...'' she began. ''I know very well what he is!'' he snapped at her. ''Thats the whole point!'' he added before he paused ''Do you sense that?'' he said and then rounded a corner ''Well well'' he smirked seeing Ana walking by. She had stopped and then looked behind her which Itsuki had to duck behind the wall to avoid being seen for now.

''That girl...you remember her right...stubborn little thing werent she...hell bent on protecting her friends too...'' he began. ''She knew Inoue-San quite well didnt she...i wonder'' he said and then stepped out from behind the wall and appeared in front of her. ''We meet again young lady...tell me...what is a cute little thing like you doing out by yourself...there are some weirdo's out you know...hear there's been some terrible killings'' he smirked.

[Shoshi Ana]

Ana continued to walk though something was up, something odd. Things people told her, things that were happening and then tonight... she just couldn't figure out what until someone got in her way and she stopped looking up.

Her brown eyes locked on him and she frowned. How much she'd love to seriously kick this guys ass but knowing him he'd get someone else to fight for hime, the wimp. She stood up straight and watched him wondering what he wanted this time around.

A small annoyed look crossed her face "I could ask you the same thing... don't you know werido's normally get their asses kicked, especially for chatting to cute little girls or whatever it is you just called me" she added a glare crossing her face. She was not in the mood to deal with this guy, she had other things on her plate, things she needed to do, people she needed to talk to.

"Either get out my way or I'll make you get out my way... it's your choice" she said raising an eyebrow at him hoping he'd just move but why would he do that.

[Asano Keigo]

Nadie blinked as she watched Itsuki take off ''B-but...'' she began and just sighed and followed behind him.

Itsuki grinned at Ana ''Oh still at it with the fighting talk i see...you can relax there will be no fighting tonight..'' he stated and then heard her say weirdo's got their assess kicked ''Well i had better say what i wanted to say before that happens then'' he said and then breathed in before talking again. ''Come now, all i want is to offer you a proposition...'' he said and paused awaiting her reponse. ''Just hear me out yes?'' he added. ''I wish to ask of you, you and Inoue Orihime, are you close friends?'' he asked then waited. ''Would you mind telling me what her power consists of? its just general interest is all'' he smiled.
''Oh and you wouldnt happen to want to help me with a little something? i have a task for you'' he said. ''Think carefully before you answer'' he said.

Nadie frowned ''What?'' she spoke up ''Oh yeah, and what would that be then!'' she said. Itsuki sighed ''Nothing that concerns you'' he said to her.

[Shoshi Ana]

Ana watched him, he better have a point tonight because she really didn't like him but he was dribbling on and she raised an eyebrow, was he trying to be funny because he simply wasn't funny, he was a killer and one day would face his punishment and she knew that, on that day she would smile.

Ana really wasn't interested in what he had to say "Ah no" proposition or not she was not getting involved... or was she already, ah crap. When he asked her to hear him around she tapped her foot a little but he went on and she stopped tapping her foot. And he seriously thought she was going to give him that information. "General interest or not... I'm going to need a better reason then that before you get anything out of me" she added.

She went to walk forward and past him though he offered her what sounded like a minor job for a moment. She pretended to look as if she was thinking before she looked to him "I thought it over and my answer is when hell freezes over" she added and when he started talking to his little friend she rolled her eyes and walked around him and down the path. Why on earth did he think she was going to help him.

[Asano Keigo]

Itsuki sighed when her innitial reaction was ''ah no''
Nadie smirked ''Ha! you think she'll help you!'' she laughed only for Itsuki to look over his shoulder at her and then back at Ana. ''A better reason...hm...you know i just cant think of one...nope oh well...looks like i give up hen'' he said and then see her start to walk but she turned and gave him a smart answer ''When hell freezes over...well that's today'' he smiled. ''Oh hey...there is one more thing before you go...'' he began and didnt turn to face her instead he just kept his back to her. ''Did i say would you mind? silly me...you dont have a choice in this...let me rephrase it better for you...'' he began and then finally turned round to face her. ''You are going to help me wheather you like it or you dont...'' he said. ''Oh and you wanted a reason too...perhaps for the sake of your friends hairpins...if you say no you might find they will turn up in 3 or 4 pieces on her doorstep'' he smirked.
''Have you forgotten many things are playing right into my hands...and i have the upper hand here...i always win im afraid...''

[Shoshi Ana]

She looked around, it didn't seem like the end of the world and she simply raised an eyebrow at him. He was very boring and cocky but all bad guys were like this, she was used to it and over it, it was always the same gibberish, did they never learn anything from other people's mistakes.

She started to walk away from him before he spoke and she stopped sighing a little and turned around, seriously was he trying to threaten her, people always mistook her as a fighter and innocent helpless girl who just had a big mouth and some serious martial arts moves and that was their mistake, she didn't want to play this game, not with Itsuki.

Ana tilted her head a little and shrugged her shoulders "Hair pins can always be replced dude, if I have it correct she already has replaced the one you took from her... threaten if you want but it'd probably be easier to just throw it away" she said and turned walking away from him again. She doubted he would destroy it, if he didn't believe her, he'd keep trying and even then she doubted he still would actually destroy it, he was too interested in Orihime so he couldn't exactly afford to.

Ana simply waved her hand to him as a goodbye as she kept walking away. Sure she was worried, she'd have to tell Orihime who was taking an interest in her. She'd once tried to toughen Orihime out but it hadn't worked, the girl was just too nice and innocent, it was up to Orihime to find her inner strength. Ana would no doubt hear his terms out when and if he ever offered her something other than Orihime's hair pin. "Good luck with winning, you'll need it" she said and walked around the corner frowning a little.

It did also worry her that he was going after Ichigo's friends but there was no way Ana was gicing him information on any of her friends.

[Asano Keigo]

Itsuki smirked ''Wow you'd really let me do that...there's me thinking there important to her they are her power source afterall...oh well i guess not then'' he said and sighed ''I thought this might happen so im glad im prepared'' he said to himself and then looked to Nadie and nodded as she sighed and took out Orihime's hairpins and held her arms out and the hairpins inside her closed palms.

Itsuki ran after Ana and caught up with her ''You really think i need to state what else i can do? Ichigo is falling apart and with him in turmoil none of you know what to do...Ichigo is a headstrong person and now he doesnt know which way to turn...Soul Society are out to get him, im out to get him and soon someone else will...dont you get it...you guys arent in a position or right frame of mind...you are all friends...but i bet not one you even know where Ichigo is right now?'' he smirked. ''You had better hope i dont get to Ichigo first, because i have my own plan for him entirely'' he began

''I need you to convince Orihime to meet with me...you included...your power is as interesting as hers...and i need you both to get what i want...in return you get what you want...you and your friends safety for starters...and i wont pester any of you again...unless of course you still are silly enough to refuse'' he sighed.

[Shoshi Ana]

A small smile broke across Ana's face, she finally thought he was gone but then he caught up seriously couldn't he just give up already. He said something and she looked over "You know you're not as tough as you think you are... I mean once again you have your little girls scout doing all the dirty work for you" she said shaking her head a little and kept walking.

Frustrated Ana stopped and stood in front of him. "You are making a lot of assumptions here, where is your cold hard facts... as for Ichigo's where abouts well... let's just say friends know more than you think and don't play that card unless you really want to go there" she added. She didn't want Ichigo under this guys influence but if she could get information on his location that was good enough for her.

Ana made a small face and shook her head as she walked along. Well f Ana wasn't going to help him why would Orihime... no if he mentioned Ichigo around her that girl would do anything for him, so would Ana but they had very different ways of going about things. "My friends and myself are constantly being threatened, I doubt you can offer us protection as you wont always be around" she could promise him that much.

She did though paus and turned around once more to look at him "When you can think of an offer for me and my friends that no one else has offered us I'll consider talking to you again" she said as she walked away from him once more, he was though being very persistant wasn't he.
