There's something going down on the real side of things. Shinigami have been sent to investigate. Those shinigami are Reiji and Akisu.

Standing on a rooftop is where this picks up. At night. Partially Cloudy. With sentence fragments.


"And why do I have to go with you?"

*The purple haired shinigami looked over to his partner and scowled.* I don't know! Not like I want to be with you! I could do this assignment a lot faster without you getting in the way and blowing things up.

"Ehhhh?! You have a problem with how Tenmahinote and I handle things? I don't see your letteropener doing much to speed things up!"

The spiky haired shinigami retorted while tightening the knot on his headband.

Kurokaze is not a letter opener! *Sure, it was small for a zanpakuto. It looked more like a long dagger than a sword and the purple haired one threw a fit everytime someone made fun of him for it.*

If that's not a letter opener, then what good is it? With that range, you might as well start grappling with hollows! HA!HA!HA! *the spiky haired guy enjoys doing this to the purple haired jerk. Hundreds of years later, and some things never change.*

So what exactly is it we're supposed to be doing? You got the damned butterfly.

*Aki growls as he pulls out the butterfly. It tells them that there have been many unusual cases of hallows popping up and that they needed to investigate and kill any hallows they found.*

Well, you heard the butterfly, let's go kill some hallows. And I'll show you what my zanpakuto can do.

Tch. If we find a hollow of the spirit of a loaf of bread maybe you can butter it. If a zanpakuto's size shows how powerful your reiatsu is, how did you give me so much trouble when we were alive!?

*While saying that, Reiji pulls out one of those little cell phone GPS things. Reiji smacks it on his hand a couple of times*

...Piece of junk...What hollows? There aren't any.

I have more reiatsu, my shinkai is a lot bigger. *Not to mention the point of his little zanpakuto wasn't to stab things like everyone else did, well... maybe a bit of stabbing, but that wasn't how it was best used.*

*Aki pulls out his hallow locator and it shows the same thing.* Great... So what do we do? Wait for them to show up?

Honestly....*walks over to Aki and grabs his shoulder* They're obviously over there. *points in a random direction*

~When I throw Aki-chan, he's going to re-invent the crash landing...fufufu~

*Aki looks over there and shakes his head.* I don't see anything and this doesn't show any hallows anywhere near us. *He says, holding up the locator.* And why are you grabbing my shoulder? It's not like we're close buddies or anything.

fufufu...You're right, we're not. *grabs Aki in a way where he can throw him easily* SO INVESTIGATE YOURSELF! *throws Aki in the direction he was pointing!

HA~HA~HA~

*Aki's eyes went wide and he cursed Reiji as he flew through the air and towards the ground. He pulled out Kurokaze and with a swing just feet above the ground, the wind from the blade pushed back on him and allowed him to land on the ground like he'd just jumped down from a few feet. He glares up at Reiji.* You bastard! What the hell are you thinking throwing me around?!

I was thinking that I hated you. Check your radar while you're down there. I'm going over here to look. *Reiji leaps to another rooftop*

*Aki curses Reiji some more as he walks off in the other direction on the street.*

That stupid jerk...calling you a letter opener and throwing me around... I'm going to-- *The radar began to beep as a hallow appeared not far from him.* Hey! Idiot! A hallow just popped up!

*the radar starts going off at the same time as Aki's. Reiji takes off running/jumping towards the source*

I'll take care of this! I dont' want you to hurt yourself with that letter opener!"

*A vein in Aki's forehead starts to pulse with his anger. He takes off running towards the sorce, determined to beat Reiji there.* I'll get there before you and show you what I can do with Kurokaze!

*Ahead of them was a hallow about the size of a bus. Sniffing the air as if searching for something when it noticed the two shinigami headed towards it. It roared, the sharp teeth of it's mask matching those in it's mouth.*

*Reiji gets close before stopping and putting his hands in front of him with a whistle in his mouth*

*Reiji blows the whistle loudly before dropping it* {fishing} Target! Hadou 31: Shakkahou!

*The ball of energy shoots out from Reiji's hands and hits the hollow in the arm. The hollow is not pleased and it starts heading for the 2 of them*

Good going, you only pissed it off! *Aki growled at him and pulled out his zanpakuto. Aki sliced at the hallow from far away, a barely visible line of wind flying at it and hitting it across the mask and shoulder... except it did almost nothing to the mask and gave the creature a cut on the shoulder, only pissing it off more.*

*Reiji sees the attack hit the hollow and turns around*

Eh? What was that? Weren't you just complaining about not pissing it o-*UGK*

*While Reiji wasn't looking the hollow had caught up to him and backhanded him through a nearby wall*

You pissed it off first! *Aki growled as he tried again with his little zanpakuto. This time he sent two blasts of sharp wind at the creature's side while it was preoccupied with Reiji.*

*Reiji lays there in the rubble for a second before climbing out and seeing the hollow get hit by Aki's attack*

YAKEDO TENMAHINOTE!

*Reiji's zanpakuto and scabbard burst into flames. The scabbard's flames flow toward the sword, and form a scythe before the flames subside. He then starts running toward the hollow yelling*

*The Hollow started to turn on Aki when it noticed the flaming scythe coming towards it. It roared and brought a clawed hand up to try to swipe Reiji away. Aki grumbled about Reiji being a show off.*

*Reiji gets within range of the hollow and sees the raised hand. In a flash, the hand gets amputated and lands on the ground behind a very angry Reiji with a loud thud.*

*The hollow cries out in pain and is now almost as equally angry as Reiji*

*Aki gets around the thing and hops up onto it's back and jabs his zanpakuto into its mask. The mask cracks slightly, but doesn't shatter like he'd hoped. The creature's other hand reached up and grabbed Aki, trying to yank him away as he clung to his sword burried into the hollow's mask.* Reiji! Kill this thing!

*Reiji swings his scythe up and jams the point of his scythe into the hollow's mask. Within seconds the hollow dissolves into the afterlife...or whatever it is hollows do when purified.*

*turning to Aki, now on the ground* I swear, you and your zanpakuto are useless.

There is nothing wrong with my zanpakuto! One day you'll see my bankai, and you'll cower from the greatness of it. *Aki says, brushing the dust off and glaring at Reiji. The jerk was going to learn what it felt like to get stabbed with his little zanpakuto one of these days, right between the shoulder blades...*
