A little peace? (open)

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

The shinigami studied Ana before he heard her response about where she thought he came from ''Correct! we are a smart one'' he grinned. ''I am from the Zero Division 4th seat'' he said. He did in fact know who Ana was he had seen her name in a report from the human world once. Infact they had records on almost every shinigami and gifted human it kept them up to date they were after all a squad designed to be hidden from all unless of course they were needed.

He looked even mroe surprised by the fact she knew who the Soul King was ''Such a bright girl...im guessing a certain someone told you about this before...'' he asked. ''The zero division is designed to protect the Soul King and were are not known of by many...we will only show ourselves if there is a major crisis and i beleive there is one going on in Soul Society'' he said. ''Were needed when the captains cant deal with it so it must be bad'' he said.

He gave a small sighed as she refused to give out her name until he did he stepped closer to her and smiled ''Now if i told you that...i'd have to kill you'' he chuckled. He then stepped back giving her some room to show her abilities. ''Any one you'd like...go ahead...ill show you just how strong a zero division member is'' he winked.

He then heard Ichigo speak up and he smirke before he turned round arm open ''Ichigo! you survived it then, good thats what i'd expect of a Kurosaki'' he said. He then walked towards him and walked around him ''I must say the idea of a teenage boy being a shinigami is insane but it works for you....ive heard alot about you more than you'd think'' he said. ''I know your bankai...ive read about it in reports...and all the kinds of battles you've been through...for a kid you bear the burden well i think you'd fit in just fine with us'' he smiled.

Ichigo just looked on confused what was he going on about ''Shut up'' Ichigo just bluntly said before he held Zangetsu to which the shinigami saw as Ichigo goading him on further. ''Alright then...this will be fun'' he said and then looked at Ana ''I hope your both ready for this then'' he said. Ichigo stared him out for a moment before he suddenly was foced to look beside him as the shinigami was there his zanpakuto coming right passed Ichigo just about having the right reaction to dodge it.

[Shoshi Ana]

Ana simply watched him, well it was just a guess, at least it was the right one or she’d look stupid. Of course the seating meant very little to her at all, she just knew the basics, it’s not like she sat down with her grandfather and talked about any of it, she hated the man, when he came into town that was. Ichigo’s father and Urahara were her two main sources of information. “Actually two people told me… one I would gladly get rid of for you” she said mumbling the last bit, come to think of it she had not seen that enemy for a while, hopefully he was gone.

Though the guy went on to talk about something bad which had Ana confused, what shit was going down now? Man couldn’t these Shinigami do anything right? Seriously how many times were they going to call on Ichigo and his friends to clean up their mess and problems. “What do you mean?” she asked quietly, not sure what he was really talking about, did he need Ichigo’s help, he said something about everyone being screwed.

She watched him when he moved closer and she turned her body more to the side leaning back a little. One eyebrow rose slightly, dude what was wrong with this guy, he was… well, insane for a lack of a better word. “Like to see you try” she whispered to herself, no one killed her on her watch, she didn’t even let the Hollow in Ichigo have that, though she’d only been in battle really with the Hollow once and that had been a bad enough fight as it was, this guy was an experienced Shinigami who knew how old and worked for some secret area in the society… he just might be able to kill her if he wanted to. HAH! Her soul would haunt him forever. When he winked at her she shook her head a little “I’ll show you just how much you guys underestimate us humans” she back chatted.

When he addressed Ichigo Ana rolled her eyes, this guy was wacked for sure, maybe he didn’t socialise with people. Ana wondered if she could knock him out from behind just to shut him up. “He’s not going anywhere with you!” she said frowning, he hadn’t even asked Ichigo and he was simply assuming Ichigo was going to go with him, fat chance, not while she was around.

Ana blinked to the guy, ready for what exactly! Though he suddenly vanished and Ana’s eyes widened, she was still getting use to that, man she might have to get Urahara or Ichigo’s dad or even Ichigo to train her how to tell where someone would appear, counter their attack especially if people were going to keep doing it around her. Ana grumbled something under her breath, well they both had their weapons, man she really had to start carrying her Katana around with her… oh yea right the police would no doubt arrest her for carrying a weapon around town. “Duck!” Ana yelled taking a few steps forward, she had hardly seen the attack in time and hoped Ichigo would as she sent her arm out across her body with it a flat shield heading towards their heads. “What the hell do you want!” she snapped at the Shinigami wondering what he really wanted because let’s face it he wasn’t saying much.

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

The shinigami smirked towards Ana ''Urahara Kisuke and Kurosaki Isshin would know what i mean...they are good friends of mine'' he said in fact they went way back. He frowned a little at her last comment but he didnt quite catch it he was unware of her grandfather somehow. ''But i must admit your quite a fiesty one not backing down are you'' he said before he had turned to Ichigo inspecting him and talking just as if Ichigo would agree. He turned to Ana when she informed him Ichigo would be going nowhere ''Oh...im sorry...but i wasnt asking'' he said then glanced to Ichigo.

''Kurosaki Ichigo...you are already invovled with the likes of the zero division it is where you will go when you pass on to become an official shinigami'' he said. ''Your father hasnt told you has he?'' he began then sighed. ''I guess not then...hmm..we'll he'll have to explain it to you one day...your still alive and a human right now so we are not allowed to come into close contact with you really...but the current crisis calls for it...its time you face up to your duties'' he said.

Ichigo just looked on baffled he couldnt really take in what this guy wasnt saying so instead he blanked it out and concentrated because he was about to be invovlved in a fight he had never fought anyone from the zero division he had maybe heard about them once or twice but not way did he think he couldnt beat this guy. ''I can beat you...easy!'' Ichigo said with confidence. In fact it was himself and Ana agasint this guy they could both take him on easy.

Ichigo had then heard Ana's warning to duck he had moved his body backwards just getting caught a little on the side of his face by the incoming blade it drew a little blood but nothing serious before Ichigo flash stepped fast and then appeared leaning in towards the shinigami's chest with Zangetsu shortly behind making a slash for his unguarded chest. Ichigo then continued to run passed him before he turned going to make a swing for the shinigami's bacl while he could only for the shinigami to disappear quickly.

Ichigo frowned he looked around a bit before glancing to Ana ''Hey, got anything up your sleeve so i can get a direct hit on him?'' he asked her before he heard a noise he turned seeing the shinigami he moved his zanpakuto in a circular motion and small arrow like shapes of his reaitsu formed in a circle they suddenly flew at Ichigo who simply batted them away with his Zanpakuto allowing some to pass him they headed to Ana one hit the ground beside her and exploded with so much force it made the roof cave in.

[Shoshi Ana]

Ana was slowly losing her cool. Who did this guy think he was he couldn’t just tell someone what to do, Ichigo had his right, he had his own free will, this guy wasn’t going to get anywhere the way he was going, he could have been a little nicer about it and then maybe they could talk about this but his mind was made up, not cool, not cool at all. If he was friends with Ichigo’s dad then she’d call him and tell him to get his big butt down here and talk some sense into this guy before Ana and Ichigo beat him to a pulp.

“Assuming he wants to be a Shinigami when he passes on you idiot” Ana yelled, who knew maybe Ichigo would rather be at peace then do what he was doing now, then again he might not, she didn’t know and she didn’t know if Ichigo new either but it wasn’t a choice she could make for him nor this Shinigami could make for him. She hated destiny and would gladly spit in its face. And then he started going on about Ichigo’s father and Ana punched her hand to stop herself from going after this guy, he was putting his foot in his mouth. “Man how I’d like to turn your head into a watermelon against a rock” she mumbled to herself.

And then there it was Ichigo’s cocky nature which had Ana sighing. No doubt it had its use in battle but one day he’d get beaten bad… well maybe he would. Of course she had to start wondering what was this crisis he kept talking about, the guy had mentioned it a few times but hadn’t said what it was, he just said a crisis and Ichigo was needed, well not on her watch. He either started spilling his guts or Ana and Ichigo would do it for him, literally.

When Ichigo called out to her she blinked and made a small face. What he wanted her to be the decoy or something? Well she could do that. Though before Ana could even act something flew towards her followed by a few more as she stepped aside, dodging them and looked down at an arrow head, or so it seemed. About to call out to Ichigo the roof suddenly exploded next to her and she vanished through it landing on her feet and coughing a bit. Well she had not expected that. First Ichigo couldn’t land an attack, then he wasn’t watching what he was doing then the Shinigami’s attack exploded before her sending rubble up into her face cutting her a bit. Right that was it.

Ana found a stable bit of the roof and walked along it listening to what was going on above her. “Think quick Ichigo” she said raising her hands and formed a shield sending it through the roof as she jumped back watching the rubble fall where she had been before she jumped up her hands grabbing the opening and flipped herself onto the roof. “Where is he!” she yelled standing up and formed a shield in each hand, he wanted to see what she could do fine and Ichigo needed an opening so she’d try give him one. Spotting him Ana sent out one shield before the other one in the other direction both spinning towards him before she quickly formed a third one and sent that out running up near Ichigo “Watch where your throwing those things next time will you” she called out.

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Ichigo was just ignoring the fact that this guy claimed to know so much about him, his father what he was how old he was suposudly and what he was going to be and do in the future he had never really had a think about the future but he knew he'd like to carry on what he was currently doing for as long as he could possible he lived to protect others so why couldnt he do this job as long as he wanted he didnt want to be part of no division and especially not the zero division and it would also mean that is required to protect the Soul King a guy he'd never even met before and he's gotta protect? he didnt understand so he didnt even bother getting mad about it or the fact his dad never told him this he'd get to the bottom of it just not now, he needed full concentration.

''Its what has to happen Kurosaki...maybe not now but when your done with living in the human world when your time is up you will need to pass on to Soul Society it is how your life has played out'' the shinigami said to Ichigo as he fired off more of his reiatsu at him. Ichigo frowned he stayed on the spot and just swung Zangetsu upwards slicing this guy's reaitsu attacks with ease as he kept his eyes on the shinigami a stern look on his face.

He had heard Ana fall through the collapsing roof which made the rest of the roof crack up a little he didnt take his eye of the shinigami but still called out to Ana. ''Are you alright!!'' he said making sure but he knew Ana could take care of herself. He could hear her say for him to think quick he nodded perhaps he should just take this guy out anyway despite what he had to say for himself it didnt interest Ichigo.

He looked round to see Ana was back up on the roof with them as she send out three sheild allowing a decoy for Ichigo to go in and try to get a direct hit. He watched as the shinigami ran towards them as he tried to dodge her sheilds. ''Enough playing!! lets get serious!'' he said before he stopped and allowed Ana's sheilds to come at him he simply put his hands up and grabbed 2 of them cutting his hands infact from the force of Ana's sheild before he sent them hurtling right back at Ana and Ichigo he then caught and threw the third one right back at them.

Ichigo's eyes widened ''Shit!'' he cursed before he jumped allowing her sheild to pass underneath he glanced to Ana ''Sorry bout that...'' he said. The shinigami then flash stepped behind them both his zanpakuto cutting across to get them both. Ichigo caught the blade of the shinigami with his own and got a chance to look at the guy's zanpakuto why did it look familar?

[Shoshi Ana]

Ana didn’t like the guy, that much was clear, what was he up to, what did he want, why wouldn’t he explain himself it all started weighing in her books and was starting to frustrate her, nothing Ichigo seemed to do was working on the guy and now she had to try find a way to give Ichigo an opening but she had little luck before she fell through the roof. It was official it was impossible for her and Ichigo to go anywhere without some buildings getting destroyed in the process. Despite her ankle hurting a little from the landing she moved on, a little pain wasn’t going to get in her way, she’d had far worse before.

Ana simply nodded her head when Ichigo called out to her forgetting he couldn’t see her. She’d live, that was the main thing, broken bones and whatever else could always be fixed, she didn’t have any broken bones though, not yet thankfully. Of course she was frustrated before she came through the roof again and sent out her attack heading over towards Ichigo. Maybe he didn’t realise he had sent some of the attack her way before, either way she’d point it out to be more careful next time. She watched as he tried to dodge her shields and threw them back, no way she was allowing her own attack to be turned on herself as she raised her hand “Stop” she said stopping the ones that came towards her and formed a fist as they shattered like glass fading away, he had some nerve pulling that. Though she’d been unaware of the one Ichigo dodged until she saw him land again.

With a small sigh she spoke quietly “It’s like playing dodge ball with Keigo” as glanced to Ichigo before seeing her third shield coming back around, raising her hand she stopped it her hair waving around her face from the sudden force of doing so and waved her hand watching it shatter also. She wasn’t about to let this guy get the upper hand on her, not this way. Though he vanished and she looked up and around, Ichigo however had it and Ana saw her chance, the two colliding blades and the opening that could possibly work in their favour. Ana moved closer to Ichigo a little making it look like she was hiding behind him though her hand came out from around him forming a flat shield making sure to only send the energy in one direction… towards the enemy and not in all directions. When her fingers parted the shield went out. “Take your shot Ichigo while he’s distracted for a bit” she whispered, who knew if it would distract the guy or do harm, he seemed strong for sure though Ana was still sure her and Ichigo could kick his ass.

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Ichigo frowned ''Enough playing? who's playing around we gonna kill your sorry ass!'' he snapped before he had seen Ana beside him after dodging her sheild that had been used against them luckily she could cancel out her shields in the event that her own power could be turned agasint her. He watched as her shield shattered before he had realised that the shinigami had appeared behind them and Ichigo had clashed his sword with the guys.

Sparks flew outwards as the noise echoed through the town as Ichigo pushed up force agasint the guy's blade trying to hold him there before he noticed Ana had hidden behind him in order to make another sheild that was flat and he heard her whisper to take his shot while he could he didnt know what he was going to do but he just done whatever his body told him and that was while he saw the shinigami's eyes on Ana's incoming sheild Ichigo took the chance to shove his blade off from the shinigami before making a swift uppercut from the guy's torso up to his face there was a slashing noise before a splattering of blood hit the ground as Ichigo held his zanpakuto still up after hitting the guy before he looked to see he had got him. After that he didnt know if Ana's sheild was going to hit him too but it probably did!

Ichigo wasnt stopping there he lunged in for another hit with the spiked edge of Zangetsu into him but the shinigami flew backwards awkwardly to try and escape the stab he fell back on the floor his weight tipping him over before Ichigo's zanpakuto suddenly appeared above him the shinigami rolled over on his side escaping Ichigo's sword again before he jumped up and held his bleeding wound he stumbled back and then looked at his hand ''Not bad Kurosaki'' he said. Ichigo didnt say a word just glared before he ran at the guy again clashing swords a few times before Ichigo placed his foot on the guy's wound kicking him back a good few feet. The shinigami flew back into building behind shattering some glass windows before he skidded back into the building.

Ichigo took the opportinity to look to Ana ''He's wounded but its barely effecting him....we;ll have to try harder...keep him inside that building them we can corner him'' he said ''Sound good?'' he added before he ran off and climbed through the hole made by the shinigami.

[Shoshi Ana]

Well Ana wanted answers first before the guys life was wasted, if someone came looking for him then Ichigo would have answers, he might even get into trouble for it being a Shinigami… well substitute one. Ana would take the blame for it no problem if it meant Ichigo could keep fighting and get answers to whatever crisis it was going on though Ana wanted to hear the information from the Shinigami personally.

Ana shielded her eyes with her hand for a moment from the sparks and swiftly moved behind Ichigo. Who knew if another opening like this would come around, take advantage of it while they had it she just hoped Ichigo could land a good shot. Ana placed her hand behind Ichigo in the event of an aftershock from her shield and let her feet dig into the ground of the roof to stabilise them and took a step away. She knew better than to get between Ichigo and the person he was fighting, unless the Shinigami came too close to her or Ichigo missed then she’d take action though for the moment Ichigo had it so she just watched it all taking the wounds and speed trying to keep up with it in the event she needed to jump in though the guy soon went into the building and Ana frowned “Coward” she said before looking to Ichigo, she was certain they could do more damage to him, the guy didn’t seem much like a hands on combat fighter… didn’t mean he wasn’t, use the wound to their advantage, take his zanpakuto away from him, see how good he was then.

Ana nodded her head, it’s not like she could answer as Ichigo soon followed the guy. And when Ichigo was clear of the opening Ana followed, thankfully not missing… luckily actually. Of course they had to find him so Ana looked for blood on the floor, follow the blood find the guy. Pretty simple she thought though she didn’t think keeping him in the building was going to be easy he was fast she’d give him that much, if they could lock him in a certain part of the building it shouldn’t be a problem, though 3 people battling in a small space, not smart.

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Ichigo immediatly looked to the floor seeing the guy was bleeding it kind of gave him away he ran through a doorway following blood on the floor where ever there was blood Ichigo followed he wanted to kick some sense into this guy and his answers would be useful but right now he just wanted to bring the smug ass down a level and remind him of a few things, zero division or not he wasnt going to beat them.

Ichigo stopped and looked round checking Ana was still with him ''I dont know why he's here but he must of traced us why would a zero divisioner come to the human world without orders...this so called crisis is in Soul Society...what has this got to do with me helping him'' he began but he was cut off by the sounds of some footsteps and Ichigo turned his head in the direction it was coming from before Ichigo was off running after the noise.

He ran into a room filled with piping it looked like he didnt know where they were but it looked like some kind of factory but he could still hear the sounds of running footsteps so he followed. He jumped over some obstacles but wasnt letting it slow him down before he spotted the guy running off down a corridor. ''You running too fast anyone would think im scary!'' he smirked before he see him go down a flight of stairs and tried to open up another door but Ichigo jump the flight of stairs before he slammed Zangetsu towards him. The shinigami dodged and Ichigo's blade went through the wall.

The shinigami smiled ''Well i guess you caught me then'' he smiled. ''Your father was right...'' he said. Ichigo scowled ''Shut up!! and shut up about my dad!!'' he said before he pulled Zangetsu free from the wall and swung down onto the shinigami's zanpakuto. ''Has he not even told you how he was once a shinigami and part of the zero division either'' he continued Ichigo glared ''Getsuga!!'' he began wanting to silence this guy but he cut him off ''Are you really going to use a Getsuga Tensho on confined area like this building...you'll kill us all!'' the shinigami said. Ichigo sneered before he just went in for another swing.

[Shoshi Ana]

Ana looked to Ichigo “Maybe his orders are to bring you to Soul Society, their crisis maybe they decided you were best to do the job, I mean you’ve made a name for yourself with them…” Ana said and looked ahead again “Still, if they want a substitute then how bad could it be?” she said talking to herself because Ichigo had run off and she hadn’t realised until she finished and looked over, shit she had to stay focussed. Quickly she ran after Ichigo having no idea where he was going though she did hear some strange noises frowning puzzled.

She watched as Ichigo hurried after the guy, they were moving to what seemed to her like a blur but she was able to just keep up with them before they went from her sight. By the time she got there and down the stairs she noticed Ichigo’s sword in the wall as she stopped behind the Shinigami though Ichigo soon got into a shouting contest with him, why couldn’t the Shinigami just shut his mouth.

When Ichigo started swinging his sword Ana backed up a bit giving them some space before she huffed, she wasn’t going to have Ichigo do something stupid and she didn’t want this Shinigami pissing Ichigo off any more than he already had. If the two didn’t stop she could see this place coming down around them. Narrowing her eyes she quickly formed a shield around the Shinigami when Ichigo went to swing at him and Ana ran forwards to kick the Shinigami in the gut with her foot as hard as she could in the hopes to send him into a wall.

“Ichigo cool it a tad, you’re going to bring this place down around us… and you Shinigami shut up about his father already it’s not your place” she added standing between Ichigo and the Shinigami… assuming he hadn’t flickered some place in which case Ana was going to break his nose. Her shield lowered and she glanced to Ichigo “You cool?” she asked before stepping aside. If she could she’d break this guys arm, make him feel more pain because next time Ana might not be able to move as fast and her shield wouldn’t stop Ichigo’s attack, it didn’t always work and she wasn’t always fast enough for it but she could see this ending badly if Ichigo didn’t block out what this guy was saying about his father and if this Shinigami didn’t start answering questions soon.
