Great Adventure! [Hiti]

[The_Monarch]

The sun was beating down today on Soul Society, the intense heat was through the charts the streets where empty, and shinigami where inside of their barracks staying cool inside of the well air conditioned rooms, only a few shinigami where out and about taking care of their business. But today in particular was an especially bad day for Kenji, the unseated officer of squad nine he was sitting outside on the poorly built and supported porch of his home, he was laying over the porch looking down at the ground below fanning himself with a small home made paper fan. He moved his wrist fanning himself, but it was a mediocre attempt at staying cool after a while Kenji gave up crumbling up the paper fan and tossing it down on the street below. A shinigami guard was walking by, he was already having a bad day it was hot today and he was stuck with guard duty patrolling the streets and such, all of a sudden a rolled up paper ball bounced off the mans head “Hm?” The man looked down at the paper ball then up only to see Kenji, leaning over the porch. The mans eyebrow twitched, “Hey!” the man yelled up at the oblivious shinigami, the silver haired shinigami rolled his eyes down to see the crazed shinigami below “Hi, hot day isn’t it?” he would ask waving down at the man completely oblivious to the fact he had just struck the man with his paper ball, “Don’t hi me asshole! How dare you throw this paper ball at me!? Have you no respect for the street this is littering!” the man yelled up at Kenji’s lazy ass. The young shinigami pushed himself up from the porch, feeling it shake as he did so looking down he pushed his ear out a bit, “What!? I can’t hear you?” he would say pretending to be hard of hearing. The shinigami became even more irritated, he knew that Kenji was faking “How dare you mock me!? What squad are you from! Come outside coward!” he would yell up waving his fist around in an angry manner, Kenji would simply smile waving at the man “How nice to see your concern for my own safety, of course I will go inside and take a bath” he would say turning as he walked on in closing the sliding door behind him. The guard stood out there with a blunt expression on his face, “Bastard…” he would whisper to himself letting a sigh escape his lips as he turned then began to walk away.

Once inside Kenji smirked “Stupid guard…” he would say to himself making his way to the torn up couch in the small home he let himself drop feeling he had outdone the guard he needed a break. In front of him on a small coffee table was a small fan “Time to cool off” he said leaning forward pressing the power button, but all there was is a click “Hm?” he would press the button again but only to the same result. Kenji would then go on a button pressing rampage repeatedly pounding at the button, finally the button would snap off Kenji would grab hold of his full head of silver spiked hair “AH!!!!” he would yell out in terror his eyes wide with fear. Turning he knew there was only one person who could possibly fix this, Kenji jumped over the table landing into a perfect roll he crashed into one of the sliding doors breaking it down landing face flat on it. Raising his head he had entered the room of his roommate and good friend, Shinra the silver haired shinigami looked over at him “Shinra! The fan is broken fix it!!!” he would say with teary eyes looking over at his fellow shinigami whom was also in the same squad and also unseated for now. Kenji lay there waiting for his friend to answer or just go fix the damn fan, he fanned himself with his hand “Geez, how can you be cooped up in this room all day Shinra, it’s like a damn oven in here” he would say looking around to see if he had any windows to open he needed some ventilation in here.

[HiTi]

He had not been assigned to any missions lately. Shira liked that. He liked that a lot. That meant that all he had to do all day was relax in the barracks and let the day pass on. It felt good being able to lie down on a couch and sleeping the day away. The only issue that seemed to be bothering Shira was the fact that he felt like his body was going to suddenly ignite from intense heat. The lazy, unseated Shinigami of Squad Nine would have preferred melting at the very least. Shira allowed a more than mellow sigh to escape his mouth, only to receive the sweat the poured from his forehead in return. The man's eyes widened as his upper body shot up on the couch. Luckily he just had a dry retch, so he didn't vomit all over the place. "Damn it's hot..." he would say as he leaned back onto the arm of the couch and his eyes began to close.

The moment Shira thought he would be getting some sleep, his eyes shot open to the sound of yelling. Before he could even ponder investigating the said noise, a man had crashed into room. Shira lazily raised his left brow. The silver hair clued him in who this racket maker was. "K-Kenji..." Shira would reply in response, his face taking on a stressed expression. "My name is not SHINRA!" The mellow Shinigami let out a sigh and managed to haul himself to his feet. "I'm sure its like damn oven everywhere around here." Shira replied as he made his way towards the fan. He sighed at the broken slide door.

Shira folded his arms and stared at the fan on the coffee table. Smirking, Shira unfolded his arms and brought a finger to tap the power button. The end result was the simple sound of clicking. There was a blank look on Shira's face as he continued to tap the power button only to not receive the satisfaction of cool wind rushing against his face. That's when he saw the source of the problem. "Ah. That's it. It just wasn't plugged in!" Shira exclaimed as he made his way towards the plug. He gripped the cord and inserted it into the wall. "See? I told y-" The fan suddenly sparked once and died. It looked like they weren't going to feel cool wind in their faces anytime soon. "K-Kenji. The fan is broken!" he would say with a look of terror in on his face.

[The_Monarch]

Kenji would push himself up to his feet just as Shinra walked by him and made his way to his living room, the look of confidence in his comrade’s face made Kenji feel as if everything would be ok then suddenly a sigh of relief escaped Kenji’s mouth as looked over to see that the fan was just unplugged he felt great excitement, in mere moments the cool rush of air hit against his face but his dreams and hopes were crushed just as soon as they had been formed. Kenji’s smile faded as the fan began to spark, finally dying it stood there at a complete halt his eyes looked down at the fan with its blue rotating blades, and then he looked over at Shinra. “Shinra! You bastard you broke the fan!” the silver haired shinigami would stand up straight crossing his arms over his chest “I demand you buy a new one for the house, seeing as this is your fault!” he would say in a serious tone of voice, his haze eyes looking over at his comrade with a dead serious expression. Though the real reasoning behind this was, that Kenji barely had any money which did not add up to enough for a new fan, so his plan to con Shinra into buying a new one was so far going as smooth as silk, nonetheless he had to maintain face he kept the serious expression on his face, and his arms crossed as he looked over at Shinra. “Well? What are you waiting for, buy the new fan we need it!” he said waving a fist around out of desperation, the sweat rolling down from his head to his chin then dripping itself down to the ground below. The heat was insane and he needed to cool off somehow, unknown to Shinra he had used up all the ice in the freezer earlier today for a cold bath but that was short lived the ice melted in no time.

[HiTi]

Shira glared at Kenji, returning the dead serious look that was directed towards him. "Don't even start, Kenji! You know how I rarely go on missions, so they don't give me enough money to even afford dumplings!" Shira suddenly had an idea that would unexpectedly be proven useless in the end. "Let's just put the ice we have left to use. I'm sure it'll keep the water nice and cool!" Shira crossed his own arms and grinned with satisfaction. "Ah. Crisis averted, eh Kenji?" Shira would ask with a smile on his face. Even though the Shinigami was smiling, he was a bit stressed at the fact that he wasn't able to enjoy his lazy day like he had planned to. Instead he found himself trying to combat against the power of the hot sun with a friend who couldn't pronounce his name right.

"Anyway...show me where you put the ice so we can get the bath going! I'll...go first. Ya know...to test the water. Heh heh." Shira would say as he scratched the back of his head, feeling the pleasures of calming the itch of his scalp. He studied Kenji with his eyes, making sure that his friend wouldn't catch on to the fact that he was going to try to soak up the ice before it eventually melted.

[The_Monarch]

The silver haired shinigami stood with the serious expression on his face, his hazel eyes meeting with those of Shinra it seemed this would turn into a battle of wills as the two stared eye to eye for a few seconds before Shinra basically screwed over Kenji with his ‘bright’ idea, this made the serious expression on Kenji’s face fade, his arms drop and a nervous chuckle to escape his lips. “Oh….the ice….” he would say scratching his chin nervously as a sweat dropped rolled down the back of his head, “I…Uh…well…let’s just say our ice is gone” he would say tapping Shinra’s shoulder lightly with his left hand as he let out another nervous chuckle. “How about we stop thinking about the ice for a minute, and focus on what is important like buying a new fan! I know you don’t have money, but with what little money we have, if we put it together we can get enough to get a new fan, yeah?” he would ask this was all a sad attempt at guiding Shinra away from the ice topic. The last thing Kenji needed was for Shinra to figure out that Kenji had melted all the ice away just moments earlier, he started to reach into his uniforms long baggy sleeves trying to find the small pouch that carried his money. “Oi…Oi….where the hell did I put it?” he would ask himself with a rather serious tone of voice, then he snapped his fingers Kenji would run out of the room, hop over the broken sliding door and make his way into his own room sliding open the door he would reveal the pig sty he called a room. Clothing and random objects flew out of the room, as Kenji searched frantically through the piles of dirty clothes he had all over his room finally he dove into a pile of clothes drilling through it clothes flying all over the place.

Finally he emerged with the pouch in his mouth, hanging by the small strand he emerged from the filthy room with a fist pump of victory into the air “I..fund…id!” he said in a muffled voice pulling the pouch from his mouth he repeated “I found it!” he walked back over to Shinra showing him the small pouch. “So, I know for a fact I have about four thousand yen in here…yourself?” he would ask looking over at his friend waiting for a reply from him, through all this Kenji had hoped that Shinra had forgotten about the ice and was now focused on buying a new fan. The plan was still to send Shinra off on his own to search for a new fan, while Kenji relaxed here at the house, of course if Shinra found out about the ice he would force Kenji to go dragging him along and he would be hell bent to go out in this heat.

[HiTi]

Shira sighed sadly when he heard the news of the lacking of ice. Before he could even open his mouth to ask why the ice had suddenly been gone, Kenji made an attempt to change the subject by bringing up money. His friend actually managed to pop up with a bright idea. He knew well enough that he would never be able to pay for a new fan on his own, but with their money combined, there was a possibility that they wouldn't be hot for much longer. Shira watched silently as Kenji searched his sleeves. He raised a brow once Kenji seemed to remember where he'd stashed it.

The Shinigami couldn't help but shake his head sadly as random clothes flew about. Someone was going to have to clean that up, and it certainly wasn't going to be Shira. He may have been lazy, but he knew how to keep his section tidy. Shira sighed once again as Kenji came out of the room with the pouch in his mouth. Why he couldn't have simply grasped it with his hands was beyond Shira. He wasn't planning on dwelling on it for too long.

"What...?" Shira would asked as Kenji spoke in a muffled voice due to the pouch being stuck in his mouth. When Kenji revealed how much money he had, Shira was a bit surprised he'd managed to save that much. When it was time to reveal his own amount of money, Shira reached into his own sleeve. What he pulled out was not a pouch of money, but...a blue button. "..." Shira stared forward a Kenji with a blank face. "I'm sure this could be worth...something." he would say as he scratched the back of his head with a free hand.

[The_Monarch]

'A button!?' was the only thought that crossed Kenji's mind as he looked down at Shinra's hand seeing that lone button lay there that was useless his eyes looked up at his friend with a rather blunt stare. "Worth something?" he would ask as another drop of sweat rolled down the side of his face, hanging from his chin for a few seconds before falling off and down onto the hard wood floor below them. It was getting extremely hot inside of the house now, the fan was gone their only source of fresh air, and leaving the door open was not helping because the hot air was just letting itself in making things worse. In the end Kenji simply sighed letting his head hang, "Oi..Oi...I always thought you were responsible with your money, and how you spent it. Now I find out you're broke, just like the bums that sleep on the street!" he yelled out angrily flailing his fist around wildly in a little rage fit. Kenji would stop his flailing letting his money slip back into the pouch, "Alright I guess we will both head out, search through the shops and get a new fan but later on you are paying me half of what the fan originally cost....now let's go!" he would say as his left hand was swung swiftly then a pair of sunglasses would shoot out from his sleeve his hand catching them before they flew off.

Kenji would slide the shades on, letting his lips form a cocky smirk he started to walk in a rather cool manner passing by his zanpaktou which was resting by the door pulling it up he slipped it into his sash tightly holding it in place. He would stop right in front of the door, turning to look back at Shinra over his shoulder he gave him a thumbs up "Let's move out, we have a fan to get our hands on!" he would say in a rather confident tone of voice as he turned sliding the front door open and stepping out. As soon as Kenji stepped out he left the safety of the shade his house provided, only to be engulfed by a heat wave his body moved around wildly as if he was being engulfed by fire. "This is so cruel!" he would yell out as he jumped across the street landing under the shade provided by a nearby shop, Kenji let out a deep sigh "That was too close..." he would say pushing his sunglasses up his nose bridge trying to play it off.

[HiTi]

Shira could not help but feel a tad bit guilty about not having any money on him. He was usually more careful with spending, but he had really been craving the dumplings from the Rukon District and ended up spending a majority of his funds on the said dumplings. Shira groaned when Kenji mentioned them having to go out and search shops. This was supposed to be a chill day and here he was, searching for a new fan. He even had to pay half. The hardship of a lazy Shinigami. "Sure sure. Let's just go..." Shira would say as he slid the button back into his robe.

"..." Shira could only stare as he Kenji placed the shades onto his face. "Impossible...I could have sworn I destroyed those...goofy glasses." Shira thought back to stomping the shades into the dirt and utilizing kido to erase the remains. He said not a word as Kenji turned and headed for the door. He always kept his zanpaktou in his sash while he slept, so there was no need for delayed time. Sighing, Shira followed Kenji out of the door.

It was definitely too hot for wandering around in search of a fan. Shira laughed at his friend as he jumped across the street lamp and reached shade under a shop. "Well that's something. You can take a stab wound, but a little bit of sun's just too much for ya, isn't it?" Shira would say as he strolled on by the shop Kenji took shelter under. Anyone could tell by the beads of sweat on his face that he wasn't exactly enjoying the weather either.

[The_Monarch]

Kenji merely smirked fixing the straightening the shades on his face, "Please, the heat didn't affect me...I was just...jumping over here because I saw this concerned citizen had a question!" he would yell out pointing at the man behind the counter. The elderly man looked up from behind the counter his top knot the only hair on his bald head, the man glared at both Kenji and Shinra "Yeah I do have a question! When are you two bums going to pay your tab! It's run up to thirty thousand yen!" the old man began to make his way around the counter armed with a broom and all. Kenji wasted no time he saluted the old man with a mock two finger salute, "Oh my look at the time! We have to go see Shinra's mother shes on her death bed...the poor over weight girl, BYE!" he said as he started to power walk away pulling Shinra with him by the collar as he made his way down the street and curved into an alley. All the while the old man attempted to pursue but at his advanced age he was unable to even see which way they had went, Kenji let go of Shinra's collar as he leaned against the wall letting out a deep sigh, but he had not noticed that there was no shade the sun had been beating down on this wall all day. Kenji jumped up when he felt the sudden rush of heat, "Gah! damn heat!" he would yell out tapping his back best he could to make the pain go away. He would then cross his arms letting out another sigh, the sunglasses still on his face concealing his hazel eyes from view "Alright....enough games we need to find a fan as soon as possible otherwise we are going to melt out here" he explained to Shinra looking at him from behind the shades with a rather serious expression.

"FANS FOR SALE!! FANS FOR SALE!! EVERYTHING MUST GO! HALF OFF!"almost immediately a stampede of residents rushed down the road to wards the shop were the announcement had come from. Kenji popped his head out the side of the alley, a grin crept onto his face as he pushed up his sunglasses in a very cool manner "Look at them all running on the street at this rate we would never get there, but we are highly trained shinigami...we will take a short cut!" he yelled out pointing up at the roofs. With that the silver haired shinigami would bend his knees, then jump up kicking off the wall to get up the rest of the way landing with a low thud on the finely tiled roof top he started to sprint full speed his arms out at his side as he ran slowly catching up to the crowd then passing them. He started to jump roof to roof, as he continued to run he could picture it now a giant fan in the house! Blowing all the fresh air he wanted, he couldn't help but run faster using this inspiration.

[HiTi]

Shira sighed as was being dragged off at the collar by Kenji. This had been a sigh of relief because the last thing he needed was to be heckled by the old shop owner. He pondered working the shop to shave off his debt, but he knew that would never happen. Once they were sure they had gotten away from the old man, Shira readjusted his Shinigami attire. He shook his head once he realized the robes were probably stretched for good.

The Shinigami smiled as he watched his friend patting the heat off his back. "That's what you get for calling my non existant mother fat, ya bastard." Shira laughed, but ceased when he heard a voice shouting about half priced fans. This had certainly been the two's lucky day. The only problem had been the massive crowd that had been aiming to buy a fan. With them being half off, there was sure to be a riot.

As Shira watched the grin creeping upon Kenji's face, he just knew that he had some oddball scheme to score a fan. Since meeting Kenji, he'd been caught up in all kinds of trouble, but that said trouble keeped him in shape, so he benefited from it in some way. That was when Kenji made a valid point. They were Shinigami who possessed ability that far surpassed the average spirits. "Ahh. Now you're thinking!" Shira would say as he followed Kenji, kicking up the roof until he reached the top.

Shira kept pace behind Kenji, his mind wandering as well. He sighed happily as he imagined being surrounded in a shrine of fans, blowing cool winds all around him. The sun was definitely baking his brain. "For fans!!!" blurted out as he skipped across a roof section. "Look, mommy! I can see his privates!" A little girl would shout from below. Shira reddened with embarrassment. Bad day to go commando.

[The_Monarch]

The silver haired shinigami contiued to move at full speed ahead his slightly baggy sleeves rustling in the wind and his spiked hair being pushed back as he moved against the winds current. He managed to catch when Shinra yelled out 'For fans!' he looked back at Shinra raising up a thumbs up, "Hell yeah! FOR FA--!" but just as he was about to join in on the excitement he was cut off. When he jumped from roof to roof, he stepped on a weakened tile when his foot touched it and his body weight pushed down on it, Kenji sunk in the roof caved in sucking in Kenji.
"GAH!"was all he managed to yell out as he tried to get a grip on the roof to hold himself up, but he was unable to it all happened so suddenly a loud splash would be heard instead of a loud thud. A warm springs lay inside of this run down home, sprins where usually filled with beautiful young women maybe this wasn't so bad for Kenji, he emerged from the springs his uniform soaking wet as he let out a gasp for air. He saw himself in the springs, surrounded by a thick mist that had been made by the heat from the warm waters, he could hear giggles his thought began to race as images of hot young women flooded his mind, all of them in the nude. Kenji jumped up completely standing as he stripped off the top part of his uniform to show off his built upper body, "Hello ladies!!" he would yell out in a confident tone of voice as he flexed his muscles showing off to the 'ladies' in the springs.

But Kenji was in for a very ugly surprise, an old wrinkled hand emerged from the thick mist taking hold of Kenji's bicep squeezing it with its old bony fingers. Kenji felt the not so soft hand he expected to feel, looking over to the side he saw the rest of the body appear, it was an old woman! Then all around him old women began to pop up and swarm the young shinigami, they brushed his hair and ran their old hands across his body. "Ah...AH!!! SHINRA! SAVE ME!" he would yell out to his comrade above, but as he tried to break free the old woman had swarmed him they were pulling him down it was like quick sand. Then he felt a hand squeeze down below that was when the line was crossed his eyes became filled with rage, "Hadou number 1, Sho!" the air around him seemed to pick up as his hair was pushed up slightly, the water under his feet was split apart and then Kenji released a potent pulse that pushed the old women away from him not sent them flying but pushed them away.

The old women were knocked back and away from Kenji, he bent his knees then jumped up grabbing hold of the edge of the hole he had made pulling himself up Kenji now stood on the roof. Looking back down the hole he saw the shirt of his floating in that filthy water, being swarmed by the old women it made him shutter slightly as he looked up at Shinra, he was shirtless now his upper body completely exposed. The light tan on his body, made his muscles just a bit more visible then if he were all pale, the definition on his upper body was of slight bulk but enough to know there was muscle there. He pushed up his sunglasses which amidst all the chaos did not fall off, "That was a close one...now we should move on!" he said giving Shinra a nod as he turned and began to run in the direction of where the shop selling the fans was located.

[HiTi]

Shira smiled as Kenji said 'hell yeah'. He was a bit curious as to why Kenji never finished saying fans. The mystery of his cut off sentence was revealed when he saw Kenji sink into the roof of a building. Shira stopped himself short, being careful not to suffer the same fate as Kenji. He knew a roof drop wouldn't kill him, but he didn't like the idea of falling. Shira sighed with relief when he realized that Kenji had landed in water. His eyes then widened as he realized that Kenji had fallen into a house spring. The bastard actually managed to find something that would prove any better than an actual fan. As he braced himself to jump into the hot spring, something caught his eye. Even from staring from a hole in the roof, he could see it. There were removed dentures on the edge of the spring. A lot of them.

Shira's eyes could not have grown any wider than they had at that moment. "K-Kenji..." he would call out weakly to his friend as the hard headed Shinigami removed the upper part of his attire to reveal his body. Shira raised a brow at his actions. "This is just...wrong." he would say as he heard Kenji call out to the women. From top view, he could see shadowy figures of elderly women making their way towards him. "He's going to be swarmed by...old women!"

Kenji was obviously aware of what he was dealing with now. Shira heard his name being called. He could only look on in horror as Kenji was swarmed by the old women. Shira stepped away from the hole. He then bowed his head and closed his eyes. "We are gathered here today to..mourn the loss of Kenji's dignity. Seeing that no one is in attendance, he must not have had much of it." Kenji suddenly emerged from the hole in the roof. It seemed that the old women were no match for him. Shira didn't want to peer into the hole again for fear of seeing something so horrid, it would burn his sockets.

Shira nodded back to Kenji and followed suit. His mind was now back to retrieving a fan so that he could keep cool. He hoped there was a possibility of him having a fan for himself. He had never been good with sharing with Kenji. He could see himself being put in a bind by kido while Kenji enjoyed the coolness provided by the fan.

[The_Monarch]

Kenji continued to move on they were getting ever so closer to their goal, the shop with the discount fans as he moved on with a serious face he turned to the right to monitor the situation the swarm of people seemed endless as they stampeded to wards the shop, destroying anything in their path.The silver haired hero then realized something, they had enough for one fan meaning that they would have to share! But Kenji had already thought that far ahead, reaching up to his face he pushed up the sunglasses as the entire thing played out in his mind, he and Shinra would get to the house. Then they would connect the fan, once the fans glorious blade begin to spin and give off that cool air, Kenji would wait until it hits Shinra and when his comrade is relaxing enjoying the breeze he would hit him over the head with the watermelon they had saved up in the fridge. The thing was so heavy it would surely knock Shinra out leaving the fan all for Kenji, it was pure genius! The silver haired shinigami couldn't help but chuckle slightly as the genius of his plan he would then look over to the side they had arrived at the shop. He would look back at Shinra, "We're here move out!" he would say as if leading an elite team of shinigami on a secret mission of sorts he would jump off the roof by kicking off the ground allowing his body to soar in the skies. The sound of the lower part of his uniform rustling, and the air hitting against his moist body felt good he was cooled off and was thinking properly now.

Kenji landed with a thud and an impressive yet unnecessary roll pushing himself up to his feet after stopping his roll on one knee he stood there shirtless and all looking at the crowd of people. He knew there was only one way to make them move, Kenji looked over at Shinra and gave him a thumbs up "Follow my lead!" he said in a confident tone of voice reaching into the gap between his waist and his sash he pulled out a Vice Captain badge. It was fake of course, but it was how Kenji got to cut ahead of people in such public places "Oi...Oi....listen up people! This is Shinpachi Hotaru! I am the newly appointed Vice Captain of the ninth division! Now clear a path, important Gotei business!" he would announce in a loud tone of voice, people turned and looked at the faker some with disbelief in their eyes others did not want to get in any sort of trouble with the gotei so they merely stepped aside. Kenji smirked as he walked through the path which the people had made, hes stood now behind one old lady whom was in the process of purchasing a fan herself Kenji had gotten this far he figured he would let the old woman have her fan. "Here you go miss!" the man said handing the little old lady a small fan, she nodded with a smile on her face thanking the man before walking away, the man turned after waving off the old lady "Oh...hello officer what can I help you with?" the man asked in a polite tone of voice, keeping that friendly smile on his face the entire time.

Kenji smiled back at the man lowering his right hand which held the badge up, "Me and my friend here would like to purchase a fan..." he would say waiting for the man to hand him the fan so he can pay it off and move on. But the man merely let out a rather nervous sounding chuckle, scratching the back of his head gave off even more signals which cause red flags to be raised. Kenji raised an eyebrow, fearing the worse he asked "Is there something wrong?"the question was asked in a shaky voice, the sun was beating down on him, sweat rolled down down the side of his face, and the last thing he wanted to hear was "Sorry sir, but we just ran out" the mans smile faded when he opened his eyes and saw the expression on Kenji's face. The silver haired shinigami turned in the direction which the old woman had walked off, "That woman is an enemy of the Gotei! She must be executed and that fan retrieved!!" yelling this out as he drew his zanpaktou from its sheath. "What are you saying!?"the shop keeper yelled out in shock as he looked over at Kenji from over his shoulder.

[HiTi]

Once again, Shira found himself following suit as he jumped off of the roof, landing on the grounf feet first and body crouched. Successful landing. "There sure are a lot of people here." Shira would say, noticing the never ending crowd of civilians that were aiming to obtain a half priced fan. He looked back to Kenji to see what the silver haired Shinigami's master plan was now. Shira couldn't help but feel as if they were overdoing it a tad bit. He wondered how their superiors would react to two trained Shinigami working to obtain a simple fan.

Shira gave a serious nod to Kenji's thumbs up and order. He then narrowed his eyes on Kenji's hand as it reached into his clothing to reveal a Vice Captain badge. "Ah shit..." Shira would following with a sigh. If Kenji were caught impersonating a Captain, he would certainly be on the screw end of things. Shira could see himself claiming he was kidnapped by Kenji and forced into this fan ordeal. He grinned at the thought of a clean getaway. "For your sake, I hope that's a fake." Shira would whisper to Kenji as they moved through the crowd via Kenji's knock off Vice Captain badge.

Shira nodded to Kenji's action. He couldn't believe that the silver haired Shinigami would perform such a kind gesture. He usually never did anything unless he profited from it. Shira supposed he could have respected his friend more. When the shop owner stated that the fans were sold out, Shira went red in the face. "You dumb ass! I can't believe you let that lady get off with a fan like that!" he would yell, his voice slightly drowned out by the angry crowd who realized there had been no more fans.

Kenji and Shira both turned in the direction that the old woman had walked off. At the same time, they would both say, "That woman is an enemy of the Gotei! She must be executed and that fan retrieved!!"The two then proceeded to remove their zanpaktou from their sheaths. A haunting look took Shira's face as he stared forward. "Let's get her...Kenji." He held his sword in front of him, ready to apprehend the fan. Maybe it was the heat making him crazy, but obtaining this fan had officially become his number one priority. They were so close to obtaining it, but this old woman had got in the way of their success.

[The_Monarch]

A dry and hot wind blew by as Kenji stood there his hair dancing in the wind, he could feel the hot wind crash against his exposed upper body it just irritated him even more and made him want to steal that fan even more. He wasted no time jumping into action, "Come on Shinra!" he called out as he charged straight at the old woman she had not gotten very far from where the two shinigami were currently standing. Kenji blew things out of proportion at this point allowing his reiatsu to flare up around him as he charged, leaving a trail of bright blue reiatsu behind him. His hazel eyes focused on the old woman, the target! He then kicked off the ground releasing the reiatsu under his feet in the form of a burst giving him the extra boost to propell himself up into the skies, there he was right above his target at the perfect angle to strike. In the back of Kenji's mind, a song he had heard last night in one of his anime's was playing the song had been playing right at the moment when the main character was about to triumph there was no more fitting moment in Kenji's mind, then right here and now.

He stretched out his free hand, beginning to gather the reiatsu at his palm , the silver haired shinigami was now glowing with a radiant blue color that outlined his entire body. Some villagers stopped and looked up in awe and wonder as to why the shinigami was taking such action, "He...he's going to kill her"the shop keeper from earlier said with wide eyes, "Bakudo number four! Hainawa!!"a bright flash would shine coming from Kenji's palm. He would swing his arm as he finished the incantation firing off a yellow rope made of pure reiatsu down at the old woman, the rope covered distance rather quickly in mere seconds it would entangle the old woman and Kenji would run off with the fan that she so boldly stole from him and Shinra. But nothing went as planned out of seemingly nowhere a loud boom was heard echoing in the area as a large cloud of dust was picked up around the old woman. The first thought which crossed Kenji's mind was that Shinra had perhaps fired off a kidou of his own killing the old woman, but no when the cloud of dust cleared Kenji's eyes widened with shock to see a giant shinigami crouching, and with her zanpaktou drawn out she had sliced the Bakudo in half. The woman had a traditional top knot, and an ugly face to boot she looked more of a man then a woman really but the make up gave it away that she was a female through and through.

"Go home Gram gram, I'll deal with these jackasses"the tall woman said as she stood up straight, she was even taller then Kenji it would seem. The silver haired shinigami did not recognize her from any of the other squads, nonetheless he let himself descend slowly towards the ground landing with a light thud he stood there holding out his zanpaktou at his side by the right hand. "Yo Shinra, who the hell is the ugly bitch? Looks a lot like your ex...." though he said this just to mess around with his friend, his tone was completely serious as he looked straight ahead at the large and physically imposing female shinigami. The old woman nodded at the tall shinigami, "Thank you Ishna"with that she would begin to casually stroll down the street as if nothing was happening. "Oi! Don't think you've seen the last of us you old thieving bitch!!" Kenji would flail a closed fist around as he yelled out his warning at the old woman whom merely ignored him. "Hey! Don't speak to Gram Gram that way! I am about to turn the two of you into dust!!"the massive woman said glaring at the two numbskull shinigami, Kenji sheathed his zanpaktou crossing his arms he rubbed his chin "I must respectfully decline your challenge..." he would say cooly as he pushed up his sunglasses setting them up a smirk creeping on his face "But my friend here, if a known woman beater I'm sure he wouldn't mind going a few rounds with you. Go on Shinra work your charm....win the big girl over so we can get the fan, take one for the team!!" Kenji would nudge Shinra slightly as he cheered him on to basically hit on the woman. "I wasn't challenging I was telling you asshole, and what makes you think a lady like me would be interested in a couple of low ranking idiots such as yourselves?" the woman would say rather proudly as she held her zanpaktou firmly keeping her dark eyes on the two. "Hmm? Have you looked at yourself in a mirror lately? I can assure you Ishna you have no room to be picky. Shinra here may not be a great catch, but at least he's something" he would say tapping Shinra's shoulder with his hand as he looked back at the woman only to be met by an intense glare.
