Trying to Practice

[Shoshi Ana]

Ana blinked a few times, oh she caught something, she actually got something tingling all over her, a buzz, a strange buzz, but a buzz, oh this was good, maybe, yea, no, who knew… not Ana that was for sure. As soon as she’d caught it she was so excited before she got confused by it and then got puzzled. She had a blank expression on her face and stood up “Ah crap” she said dropping the brick she had, well that was great she caught something and had no idea what it was. Dam Ichigo, why couldn’t he give more detail. Though she wouldn’t need it soon.

As she looked up she noticed something, someone. Her head tilted to the side and she frowned before standing up straight, they were running, from what, from who, what was going on, ok what had carrot done now? Ana blinked almost stepping backwards as the guy stopped before her. She watched him blank and frozen before he ran off pat her. Her head turned following him before she looked over noticing Ichigo running, a goody another chase. Perfect. She watched orange go past her and turned around watching them run off. What had Ichigo done, why was the guy running from her, did she know him, nah, maybe. She shrugged to herself.

“Oh it’s a hollow.” She said to herself finally figuring out what she had to look out for “why can’t he just say that.” She said putting her hands on her waist and shook her head looking down before looking up and then sighed chasing after them, cat and mouse and maybe dog who knew. “What did you say to him?” she called out to Ichigo frowning.

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Ichigo raced towards the soul easily catching him up, the soul looked over his shoulder and quickly changed direction down another street. ''Your not taking me to that place!'' the soul yelled.
Ichigo frowned ''Why the heck not! you little shit your pissing me off!'' he yelled at him still hot on his tail, though he looked over his shoulder seeing Ana, he frowned more ''What the heck are you....'' he began but stopped after hearing her ask what he had said to the soul to get ihm running like that.
''Honestly? i said nothing....not anything...he just started yelling about not going to Soul Society and then he ran for it'' he called to her but then looked back in front of him though he dropped back a bit.
The soul carried on rushing but he looked over his shoulder seeing Ichigo had dropped back ''Ha! try and catch me now shinigami!!'' he yelled to Ichigo not looking where he was going and he bumped straight into a hollow.
Ichigo looked irritated a sweatdrop appearing ''He's dumber than i thought'' he muttered before stopping quickly and looking to the hollow.

[Shoshi Ana]

Ana watched Ichigo and frowned at him seeing him frown at her. She could very easily slapped him one but he was too far ahead of her, be about right, Ichigo was a fast runner and he had that freaky flash step power thing that just made him even more cocky than he already was. She frowned to herself, why did a soul not want to go to soul society, though from what Ana had heard she rather have no sould so she didn't have to go, who knew her grandfather might try turn her into a Shinigami. She shivered at the thought. No her fate was alot more cold, if it went right.
So maybe this guy had something to do,or was afraid of something or someone, was possible right, even when dead, she was sure of it. She noticed the guy bump into the Hollow. Man Ana had to teach Ichigo people skills. Not that she was so good at them herself, ah Orihime, that was a good person to start with, a small smirk crossed her face before she was hit by reality, yea Hollow in front had to stop. She did and fell over before looking at the big Hollow, perfect, yippy. Ana got up again.
"Ah man... not another one, you guys are really starting to piss me off.. don't tip the scales of a red head, cause when we get angry its all hell on earth and fireworks and fire breathing dragons and get away fromt he soul before I... I do something nasty." she said and nodded at her statement.

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

The soul fell backwards after bumping into the hollow, he looked up at it in shock he then scooted backwards on his hands to try and get away from it quick, but the hollow send its hand flying towards the soul.
The soul quickly stood up and ran about panicking, the hollow's hand sunk into the ground cracking it up just in front of the soul which frightened him he walked backwards a little but he then noticed Ana still running towards the hollow.
Ichigo frowned see Ana still going and then sighed once she had fallen, though he watched in case the hollow decided to attack her.
The hollow looked to Ana after hearing her torments it screeched at her ready to attack her.
But the soul saw his chance to run while the hollow's attention was on Ana, the soul ran towards Ichigo but tripped and fell on the way catching the hollow's attention back on him.
Ichigo huffed, Ana had it covered then, and the soul had just ruined it by running out like that.
Ichigo frowned more seeing the hollow moving towards the soul again ''Hey get up already!'' Ichigo called to him, he see the soul stand up a little awkwardly and then run towards Ichigo again the hollow still following behind.
Ichigo looked a little surprised ''Dont run to me dumbass!! your gonna lead it back into the town'' he snapped but then fell silent after the soul didnt seem to take any notice he just kept running towards him.
Ichigo gave a bored sigh before he raced towards the soul and when he was in front of him he flickered away and reappeared in front of the hollow uppercutting it's jaw. The hollow gave a loud screech and it backed off a little giving Ichigo then chance to grab the soul and shove him out of harm's way.
Ichigo glanced to Ana ''Ana take this piece of shit out!'' he called to her looking back to the hollow quickly as it regained itself.
Ichigo then looked to the soul ''What the hell you think your doing!! you wanna get eaten by that thing or what!?'' he snapped angrily at him, but he let his anger fade slight once he see the soul's sadened expression.

[Shoshi Ana]

Ana quickly covered her ears as the Hollow screeched they should know better by now and just keep their mouths shut, but they mustn’t have been using their pea size brains. Which was understandable as there was no point in using a brain that size. She noticed the ground cracking as it stepped forwards and blinked, shocked as always and looked up to it. She was glad she had its attention meant she could torment the poor fat thing more, though the down side was she’d just get beaten up again and again and again. She was amazed she wasn’t bleeding internally from the events of today. Maybe she was made of steal or something.

Though the moment the Hollows attention was drawn away from her she cursed in her thoughts. “Ichigo will you send him to Soul society before he gets us all killed!” she snapped, not annoyed at Ichigo but at the soul, he was as clumsy as she was and she didn’t think she was that clumsy.

Ana had to think of a way to draw the Hollows attention back onto her. Shouldn’t be too hard she was good at drawing attention to herself, especially negative attention, she must have been surrounded by bad Karma or something like it. She couldn’t afford for the Hollow to go destroy the town, Ichigo had done enough of that for one day. “Yea yea, I’m working on it!” she called over to him keeping her eyes on the Hollow.

After what seemed like seconds in real life but for Ana seemed like minutes she closed her eyes and raised one hand flicking it up and moved it across like she was spinning a bowling ball. What she was hoping to do was explode the ground in front of the Hollow but she wasn’t sure it would work, her being out of wack and all. Luckily it did work, that had to have drawn it’s attention. She opened her eyes seeing the ground blown into the air before crashing back down, cracks appearing in random areas.

“You’re really Heavy you know that you ugly Hollow!” she snapped then bit her lip, what else could she torment it with “Oh yea…” she added “You smell really bad… you should try taking a shower every so often… like every day!” She swallowed, that had to have drawn attention, just more of it, though also probably pissed it off more, which she could tell by looking at it even though she didn’t see all it’s face. Maybe she should start running… instead she glared at under it’s belly and formed a shield before her clenched fist by her side relaxed and the shield explode out and up.

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

The soul just stared to the floor trying to conjure up what to reply to Ichigo, though he gafe a sigh and looked back up to him.
''I cant go, not yet...i have to find them...'' he said.
Ichigo raised an eyebrow ''Who?'' he began but suddenly heard Ana tell him to hurry along and get him to soul society. Ichigo scowled to her ''Be quiet!! i almost got an answer out of him them!'' he called to her and sighed.
The hollow wasnt reacting too well to Ana's taunts, it moved towards her getting closer to her and went to swing its huge arm in her direction fastly.
Ichigo looked to Ana hearing all the insults she was tossing out to the hollow, Ichigo's expression was a little dumbfounded, he was a little bit puzzled by what she was saying to it. ''Man, i dunno who i'd rather be up agaisnt, a hollow or Ana's never ending talking...'' he said to himself.
''I dont think its gonna take your advice Ana!'' he said to her smirking a little.
Ichigo looked back over his shoulder to see the soul was gone! he blinked not sure what just happened but he quickly looked up ahead seeing the soul running for his life. Ichigo grumbled to himself, this guy was pissing him off.
Ichigo looked to Ana seeing she had the hollow under control, well it seemed like it so he ran after the soul, he see him dart round a corner and picked up his speed.
The soul then stopped his back agaisnt the wall panting thinking he was in the clear he held his side. ''I shouldnt keep running like this...im too old for running about...'' he moaned and leant his back off the wall and then went to walk forwards but Ichigo stood in his way.
''Yeah youre right, you shouldnt run!! i aint gonna chase you round all day!'' Ichigo snapped at him.
The soul jumped back in fright ''Ghha! dont sneak around! thats scary'' he said.
Ichigo sighed boredly ''I cant watch you and help Ana at the same time! you gonna tell me why you wont go or am i gonna have to just go ahead and send you to soul society?'' he said.
The soul looked about it bit stubborn to answer but he finally sighed. ''My family, i have to find them...i dont know if they are still living'' he said.

[Shoshi Ana]

A sweatdrop appeared at the side of Ana’s face when Ichigo told her to be quiet as he’d almost gotten an answer, that was just annoying. How was she suppose to know he was going to get an answer she was busying trying to dodge a Hollow attack as she moved back a little more as the Hollow swiped at her nearly knocking her of her feet. “Jerk!” she yelled at it before attacking.

She kinda found it a god thing the Hollow was stuck on her, meant Ichigo could do his job and Ana could well… keep the Hollow occupied. She was good at that, drawing attention to herself, making noise, pissing things off. Ana smiled to herself hearing what Ichigo said, she almost laughed, was true, like the Hollow would take her advice, was a shame, it was good advice also, she gave good advice from time to time, this may not have been one of her stronger points but still it was working.

She might have commented back though she was too busy, seeing how annoyed the Hollow was she knew she couldn’t take her eyes from it without getting herself into more trouble than she was. Man why couldn’t Ichigo take on the Hollow for once and Ana would chase the Soul, sounded so much easier.

Ana saw the attacks, the hand and so on from the Hollow, not knowing Ichigo was around, was a good thing as Ana screamed and ran around it before sending a shield at its back and laughed “Not so bright are ya!” she yelled before noticing a fast approaching hand and went to raise her hands though was sent backwards anyway before landing on the ground, rock and such picking up behind her. “Ouch…” she mumbled before standing up slowly “That hurt… ok…” she looked back to the Hollow, she could beat it, sure thing, she’d beaten Ichigo’s Hollow, kinda, well Ichigo had gotten control again but she’d kicked butt at least. She sent another shield out with both hands as it grew bigger the area around her filling up with blue light before spreading out and then zooming towards itself making smaller shields that circled around the bigger one, wow she was really getting good at this stuff. Though her power spike might have had something to do with all of that.

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Ichigo gave a sigh ''So thats why....idiot you didnt have to be all secretive bout something like that'' he said.
The soul looked a little confused, he didnt think things like that were heard of very much, all he knew was one minute he was alive and well and with his family the next he was dead and invisible to everyone.
''Your a shinigami they all want to drag me back to that nasty place i dont want to become one of you'' he said. Ichigo raised an eyebrow ''Huh?...'' he said shaking his head a little after. ''Wrong, im not a shinigami dumbass....'' he began but then heard the noise from the hollow back with Ana.
''I dont care if you dont wanna become a shinigami your going if you like it or not....'' he said.
The soul looked a little worried, ''But....what about my....'' he began but was interrupted by Ichigo.
''Yeah yeah i know youre family...you wanna find them'' he said and then walked passed the soul and looked round the corner seeing if Ana was doing ok. The soul looked angered ''Are you just going to send me to soul society without me ever knowing if my family are alright!'' he yelled.
Ichigo looked over his shoulder glaring to the soul ''Shut your trap! im gonna help ya already! i know whats it like...i got family if i was in your position then i'd be the same, well i wouldnt we running about like an idiot like you'' he huffed and then looked back in front over to Ana, though he widened his eyes seeing Ana go flying back he moved forwards some more looking to the soul again ''Dont move got it!! or i really will send you away to soul society'' he said and then ran off towards Ana.
The soul was left standing there, though he smiled after Ichigo had ran off ''THANK YOU SHINIGAMI!!'' he called out.
Ichigo looked over is shoulder and frowned wondering why he was being thanked, he would of done the same with or without a thank you. He just sighed and then flickered away appearing closer to the hollow. ''Hey! ugly!'' he called to the hollow to get its attention.
He glanced to Ana and smirked a bit ''I got somewhere with that soul'' he said to her seeing her sending the shields towards the hollow.

[Shoshi Ana]

Ana was so focussed on what she was doing she didn’t notice Ichigo near the Hollow, if she had she would have pulled her attack back, though her eyes caught a small glimpse of orange before she heard a torment. “Oh shit…” she mumbled before her eyes widened and she quickly looked back to her shields “Crap… fudge sticks… ahh…” she cursed to herself before moving her hands trying to move the force of her shields to the side a little, two bumped into one another breaking causing a mass explosion as she cringed turned her head away un cramping one hand feeling it as it had cramped up.

Ana looked over to Ichigo, she couldn’t stop the other shields, she wasn’t even going to try it again though she narrowed her eyes down a little on him hearing him talk “Well that’s just fantastic Ichigo can you perhaps focus on the pressing issue and get the hell away from the Hollow!” she snapped at him only because she didn’t know what would happen when and if her shields hit the Hollow, maybe it would explode, maybe it would still be there, maybe a shock wave would happen and send them backwards, she didn’t know all she knew was she put a lot of energy into those shields expecting them to get rid of the Hollow.

She quickly covered her ears hearing some form of impact not wanting to look at the Hollow or damage until the show was over then she’d look up and see if Mr. Hollow was still there or if it was gone. Though who was to say another Hollow wasn’t around, after all she had used a lot of spiritual power then and that was not always a good thing.

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Ichigo suddenly jumped back just missing the sheild he sharply looked back to Ana glaring at her.
''What the hell was that!!! you tryin to kill me!!?'' he snapped at her but he looked down seeing the shadow of the hollow again.
He glanced back over to the hollow watching Ana's shilds make a detour and cause an explosion.
Ichigo looked to Ana and smirked ''And you think i got power issues!!'' he said to her, but the sounds of something come crashing to the ground caused Ichigo to focus back onto the hollow again, seeing it had fallen to the ground. Ichigo fell silent just watching the hollow seeing if it would get back up, but it wasnt so far. Ichigo gave a sigh of releif seeing the hollow started to disappear.

''Nice one...'' he said sarcastically to Ana, but he kind of meant it not to be so sarcastic she had done good. Ichigo then lifted his zanpakuto putting it away back where it was usually strapped to his back and then looked behind him hoping the soul would still be round the corner, but he jumped, seeing the soul right there. ''I thought i told you not to move anywhere!!'' he snapped at the soul.
The soul looked down ''Sorry...'' he muttered. Ichigo just sighed ''Well at least you didnt run off...'' he said.
There were probably more hollow lurking around because there was a lost soul encouraging hollow and the fact that Ichigo and Ana had a spiritual energy.
