The streets of Shanghai were normally not very crowded, and today was no different to that. Still, the being who had traveled her was used to how this city worked, they had been here long enough after all. This being was currently within her Gigai, yes a she. It was strange, she hadn't been here in quite a while and yet, everything seemed the same to her. Smell, touch, taste, and even the sounds that swarmed her senses like angry bees reminded her of a past long since forgotten. But this wasn't the time nor the place for such memories to resurface. Up upon the rooftops of Shanghai she gazed down, upon the city, upon the vibrant life, upon the people living there with such happy and content lives. Would it be wrong to say she wasn't at least the tiniest bit jealous of it all? Still, life was unfair no matter how you looked at it. Best just to make the best of it then. Right? Grabbing the brown bag that remained at her side, the female in question headed downwards. Into the streets themselves.

Yes. It still felt the same as always. Now this being, no - Vizard. By the name of Kusanagi Kyoko knew this place all too well, which mean she could always tell when something was wrong or off. Footsteps echoing down a passing alley, eyes lighting up a crimson red. Scanning in search of the disturbance of reiatsu that she could sense nearby. Was it a hollow, or even an Arrancar? The presence was too far away to tell, and whatever it was. It meant it was going to ruin Kyo's peaceful night. Just great. Quickly turning on her heel and sprinting down the alley, Kyoko wasn't one to waste time with matters like this. She wanted it done, and fast. Thankfully, her own abilities allowed for that. Scarlet orbs following the color, that of a strong blue. One she could now sense as a hollow, although perhaps using a human body? She couldn't be totally sure.

Reaching her destination in the intersection of various alleys. It was just beyond that, Kyoko came to a small clearing. Watching with no fear as the hollow turned to face her, having seemingly just finished in devouring a human soul. Yet it still remained hungry for more. How odd. Calmly reaching into the bag that remained slung over her body, quickly unzipping the back she reached inside only to pull out a short blade tanto. The hollow itself letting out a roar that only the spiritually aware would hear, the sound nearly piercing from it's pitch alone. That sound. She thought, the shrill noise only seemed to get louder and louder. Her vision becoming cloudy, dammit! Black tanto dropping to the floor as she covered her ears to try and block the horrible sound.

Glancing up, the colors melding into one, almost blinding light. Kyoko silently hoped that this hollow wasn't as strong as she had first thought. Removing her left hand from her ear, left eye closing seconds after. Like a futile attempt to stop the shrieking noise. This is why she hated such loud noises, it was so high pitched! A dark golden orb began to form on her left index finger, seconds later firing forward and unknown speeds. Heading straight for the mask and shattering it, the hollow letting out one final cry before vanishing like the wind that surrounded all. Slowly getting to her feet, once regaining her normal senses, Kyoko let out a small sigh. This was what had been happening for the past couple of weeks now, she had been failing on simple hollows like this. Just what was wrong with her? Picking up the tanto she had dropped and securing her own bag once more. It wasn't long before it hit her.

Oh, so that was why. Figures she'd be on edge and forgetting things this time of the year. What an annoyance. Moving swiftly away from the area, Kyoko was soon once again sitting atop a nearby rooftop. Maybe she should just head back to Karakura in the morning. It would be a return earlier than planned, but it might help to return to a normal life there. But wasn't coming here meant to be a break from all that? Geez. Talk about confusing. Watching the city pass by slowly, golden orbs simply staring forward. Kyoko wondered if she was just over thinking things yet again, maybe she was getting too old for all this.

Shanghai, it was a city. It was a city...that was city-like. Honestly there seemed to be nothing too special about the city, at least to one visitor. Didn't seem much different from Osaka. The sun had long vanished over the horizon, and night had fallen upon the city. Night was often the more peaceful time of the day, though it was in reality more dangerous. Within her special gigai, a red haired woman walked the streets. She was traveling, knowing her daughters were more than intelligent enough to take care of themselves. She wasn't on vacation or anything, though it was akin to a vacation. After all, normally she acted as a housewife...well, without the husband that is. Her only responsibility was being a mother, but she had to get out sometimes. She wasn't exactly planning on spending much time in Shanghai. Things, though, rarely went as planned. After all, if they had she wouldn't be an Arrancar. That's right, this woman was an Arrancar.

She traveled one of the many streets, her long red hair tied up in a ponytail. Her outfit was rather difficult to describe. It almost seemed like a mixture of a Kimono and a school uniform. The fact that the skirt was fairly shirt had on several occasions gotten some unwanted attention of course, but considering this woman, Yoshine, could smash any pervert through a wall, she wasn't exactly worried. She glanced up, it felt like a hollow was in the area. Her so called "brethren" were so uncouth. Despite being an Arrancar, her special custom made gigai completely concealed her spiritual power. This may have cut off pretty much all of her powers from actual use, but her physical strength and durability would still be far above human. I wonder if I should do something about that. In the distance she thought she could hear a dog's howl, echoing through the city. The city wasn't dead, but something was eerie about the whole thing. She didn't know, Shanghai just seemed to creep her the hell out. It didn't help that at that moment there was a single gust of wind that blew her hair into her face, and in her mouth.

She wasn't exactly paying attention to her surroundings at this moment. Brushing the hair out of her face, and removing stray hairs from her mouth, she undid her ponytail and began to fix it. It was only when she finished that she looked up. She seemed to have wandered into a rather empty street, not a soul in sight. As she fiddled with the ponytail, she looked all around. "I have got to pay more attention." She placed one of the ponytail holders in her mouth as she fiddled with the first one, before realizing she was not alone. It then came to her attention that this was a rather run down street, it was pretty much abandoned. That was when a blast of energy came from behind her, and she glanced back, her mouth still holding one of the holders for her ponytail. That was when she saw it, a rather ravenous looking hollow. It looked like a dog, figures that that was the source of the howl from earlier. "Can't you go bug someone else?" Her mouth full, it sounded fairly muffled and distorted. She had no intent, however, to let it bother someone else. She sped up and quickly finished her ponytail, as the hollow went in for it's "meal", and had her hands free just in time to grab the hollow from just under it's mask at the chin, and fling it into a wall behind her, causing a loud thud. There was a lot of energy being expunged in the area. A little of Yoshine's actually seeped through due to the sudden spike in activity. Of course, it was so weak and distorted that anyone who witnessed the scene would just assume the hollows were a little stronger than they actually were. To any who witnessed, she was just a somewhat strong human. Behind her though, were more dogs, making a pack of ravenous hollow. This isn't annoying at all. She thought to herself as she prepared for a fight.

It seemed like everything would be peaceful from this point onwards for the white haired gunner. It wasn't like she had anything to really do here until she returned back to the place called 'home'. Silly wasn't it? It was just a location and like these humans living in this world she considered it home. Letting out a sigh, Kyo wondered what was up with her lately, although she thought she knew, it didn't mean she was going to admit it aloud now was she? The problem was, lately there didn't even seem to be anything that could take her mind off of the thoughts running around in her head. Kami, that wasn't good. "Kyo-chan, do ya always have to look quite so depressing?" Asked a smooth and sly voice, resonating from behind her own sitting form. A grinning figure towering above where she sat, hands casually placed behind his back as the tall figured looked down. She really was looking quite depressing down there. It was frustrating for the tall male to watch at the very least, and oh so boring.

The sudden voice made the female jerk quickly, quite surprised at the sudden appearance of the man standing behind her. "And do you always have to pop up out of nowhere without warning me first? Go away." Came the blunt and slightly irritated reply. It wasn't like he had a reason to be out here, then again, it was better than him complaining within her head. With a small shake of her head, no, neither really was better one way or another. On the other hand, the tall male known as Dokuga, now showing hints of a frown, she really was being mean tonight. "So cold, Kyo-chan~ But at least try not to think too much, ne? Ya might hurt yourself." Was the clam and slightly teasing reply, before the smiling male withdrew as quietly as he came, the female in question ignoring the suggestion entirely. But it wasn't long before the peaceful silence that the white haired female had gained was one again disturbed, how rude. This time by a loud thud and a brief spike of spiritual pressure in the nearby area, she groaned inwardly. Just what on this earth was going on now? Was she not allowed a break? Apparently not, great.

Getting to her feet, although most if not all of her spiritual powers were cut off from her while in her Gigai. That didn't stop Kyoko's sensing abilities, it seemed like various hollows conversing into one small area. Hm. Perhaps Gillian level and maybe a single Adjuchas? She wouldn't be able to tell until she went down there herself. No time like the present then, wasn't there? Without another word, Kyoko took off along the rooftops, the alley in question less then five minutes away by her senses, although thanks to the hollow she had not long destroyed. She had to rely purely on her natural senses for the time being, otherwise she'd end up doing some serious damage if she tried anything more. One arriving, it didn't take long for her to asses the situation. A red haired female, most likely a spiritually powered human, there were so many these days after all. Glancing over, it wasn't hard to notice the large pack of what appeared to be dog like hollows charging forward. With what little spiritual power she had in this form, it would be a bad idea to go down there, even with a second party. With quick thinking, the white haired gunner rapidly unzipping her back and re-zipped it within a matter of moments. Now holding a gun within her right hand. A fully loaded gun at that. Within seconds, six shots were heard and fired just as the pack of hollows began to jump forward to claim their 'prey'. Six were shot, and six went down. Kyoko rapidly reloading, now half kneeling on the edge of the building to the female's right. It looked like they'd be in for a fight then. Bring it on!

Yoshine had been assessing her position as quickly as the supercomputer known as the human (Arrancar?) brain could process. There were a lot of them, they shared physical traits for the most part, being mostly canine in stature. Her current status was that all of her Arrancar powers were suppressed, and all she had was the strength and speed she could force this Gigai up to. Maybe she would need to remove the artificial body in order to do this. Bang bang... ...bang Suddenly the sound of 6 gun shots rang out and 6 of the hollow dropped in front of her. "What is it with dramatic entrances nowadays?" Honestly, a lot of entrances in this day and age could be needlessly dramatic. Admittedly, the only choice this person had was to open fire. It was likely that they would have never closed the gap in time, or that they decided against it, as many marksmen choose to do. While Yoshine had spoken, she actually kicked away three of the little buggers in one swift motion. She then bent her body backwards to dodge the next two that leapt from behind. She brought her hands to the ground behind her and pushed off the ground with her legs, basically causing her to do a flip, while simultaneously kicking one of the hollow high into the air. Her hands never left the ground as her legs reconnected to the ground behind her and she pushed back up into a standing position. As the hollow she kicked fell back to earth, she sent her hand, fingers straight out, through it's body. Of all times not to be wearing high heels. She always considered high heels's a weaponized version of other shoes.

Yoshine began to point and silent count out how many there were. As she counter one came up from the side but she simply karate chopped it without interrupting her counting, smashing it's head in two in the process. 15 There were 15 hollow, at least in plain sight anyway. That wasn't including any who were already felled. "Don't you know it rude to try and eat people?" She asked with her arms crossed. One pounced forward in response, obviously ignoring her advice, but she literally swatted and slapped it away. Ugh, she found it hard to believe she was once like them. "You. Have brains. The size. Of peanuts!" Yoshine shouted out in slight aggravation. There wasn't much hope when dealing with these things. Even if they became Arrancar, 99% of them just came out as jackasses. Yoshine somehow managed to reclaim her sanity from when she was alive, a rare feat. Yoshine stopped wasting time and moved forward. Strike 1. Her fist planted itself into the first hollow, she had closed the 15 foot gap in the course of a second. The hollow flew backwards as it faded from existence. Yoshine tilted her body to another hollow as it tried to get her from the side. Strike 2. She parried the swipe of the hollow's front leg and jammed her knee into it's head from below, crushing it. This caused her to turn her back on another as it went for a strike at her spine. Yoshine leaned forward, one foot raised in the air, lifting the hollow into the air on her foot. Strike 3. Yoshine twisted her body in ways only an acrobat could and actually slammed this hollow into another, aiming for their skulls to strike each other. The impact from the others's skull caused both to die on impact. "You know, if you're done reloading that thing, I could use some fire support." She actually didn't need it. But still, she didn't feel like killing all 11 remaining hollow.

The white haired gunner watched as all six bullets took down their intended targets. Good. But attention was diverted as she reloaded as quickly as possible, damn, she hated times like these. Still, for the briefest of moments, Kyoko took her time to observe the red haired stranger. She seemed strong, most certainly so. And quite fast for what appeared to be a human's body, or perhaps a gigai of some kind? She couldn't totally be sure about which she was dealing with here. Still, considering what the female was doing down there. Kyo was sure she wasn't just some rookie fighting these hollows off, nor a normal human being either. Taking down hollow after hollow was no easy feat, and yet this woman was making it look effortless. Certainly not normal indeed, much like her own self. But for the moment, that wasn't important, finish this was.

Reloading 'that thing', huh? Grumbling inwardly, Kyoko knew she needed to tweak the capacity of her weapon for whenever she fought next. It was starting to be a pain, having to reload so quickly after only using six bullets. Dammit! Making a quick head count of the hollows she could see nearby, she found the total to be eleven. Hm, a little more than she would have liked. But even so, it was something that could be done. Having reloaded only two bullets into her weapon, Kyoko fired them off. Only then to reload far quicker this time with a full magazine. With a jump off the roof, the white haired Vizard free falling to the ground below. Releasing all six shots, all six hitting their mark once again. Although one of her first two shots having missed, it wasn't an issue. Without wasting a second, once on the ground below. Kyoko darted forward, remembering to keep her speed just above that of a normal human's for now, as the hollow nearest to her position aimed to tear her in two with it's claw like hand.

Returning her gun into the bag slung across her back, while simultaneously jumping over the attack from the now charging hollow. Bringing her right hand up, her palm coming downwards towards the hollow's head, smashing it's mask in two. This whole process as quick as the red haired female, happening in less than a few sparse seconds. Glancing around, with four hollows now left trying to surround the two vastly different females. Kyoko supposed it would best to answer the female about now, after all, she wasn't going to just ignore her. "Looks like these things just won't listen, will they?" She asked rather conversationally despite the situation at hand, these hollows weren't really a problem for the white haired gunner, more of an annoyance than anything else at this point. Still, she had a job to do, might as well do it right.

Another flurry of bullets were unleashed from Yoshine's mysterious fire support. The first 2...were aimed pretty poorly. I mean seriously, that concrete didn't know what hit it! The next 6 did know what hit them. Sorry concrete, you just weren't top priority that time. That was 6 dead hollow, and a strange white haired female landing on the ground next to her, promptly killing a 7th. Well that makes life easier. Only 4 left. The fire support took up a combat pose, and promptly the two were surrounded by the remaining 4. "Well they don't have ears." That was true, none of the remaining hollow actually had ears. "I heard that." Said one of the circling hollow. Yoshine put her hands up slightly, in a "What are you even talking about" manner. "How?!" Yoshine retook her battle pose as the hollow all lunged at the two simultaneously. Yoshine moved right away to take care of the two in front of her. She assumed the ones in front of the other woman would be dealt with by her. She slid under the first and jabbed her finger into it's jugular. Normally having nails would cause them to break, but they were a bit more durable than most. Instead of breaking, it just made it easier to bust that creature's jugular. She struck a major artery, it'd bleed out on it's own now. Time for the second one to be dealt with. She reached her hand out and grabbed the creature's mask. For a moment it started to cry out, thinking it's mask was about to be crushed. Instead, she quickly formed her hand into a karate chop and just chopped it's mask in two and killed it.

Presumably the other two were killed by the stranger, though if not she could easily deal with them. Yoshine looked around and found a faucet, like the kind you'd attach a hose to. While most people couldn't see the blood on her hands, she still wanted to lean most of it off. As for her clothes, almost none had gotten on them. What did get on her clothes, well she was an expert at blood stain removal so that would also be a non-issue. She turned it on and began to rinse off her hands. ”That was some nice shooting.” Twas a shame that knowing how single minded Shinigami were when it came to people like her that she’d soon have those guns pointed at her. She then checked her hair, it was still in place. That was good, she really didn’t feel like fixing it again. Yoshine had a perfect posture, she stood up straight. Nicely done nails, hair, attractive dress, and perfect posture. One wouldn’t exactly expect her to put up a fight, though she really isn’t the type of person who should be messed with. Those hollow just learned that. ”Definitely a beautiful form. My name is Yoshine. Nice to meet you. Was that a comment on the woman’s fighting or her body? No one will ever know. Either way, Yoshine went on to politely introduce herself. Perhaps it’d be better for her to just leave, though there were few Shinigami in existence who could match her in terms of power. Granted, this one did feel a little...off.
