"Hana...your shikai has defensive properties right?" Asked Arashi calmly, no doubt she'd wonder how he knew that "I have access to some of that information due to my rank." He explained, then continued "I need you to draw that things fire, be a decoy and take the hit from it's cero, that Gillian is growing towards becoming an Adjuchas, so I can't just straight up rush it, while you've got it distracted I'll hit it from behind and bring it down before it can react."

Looking at her, eyes studying probingly, wonderingly "Do you think you can do that? I won't ask you to do it if you feel you're unable, but I could use your help, you should still be around my level."

Hopefully, she could do it, either way if she couldn't..."I'll work on sneaking up on him either way, if you wanna jump in, go for it, but don't try anything you feel you can't do." He told her with a smile and a hand on her shoulder, before turning and with a blink he was gone.

"Bwuh!? How'd he do that!?" Kurosaki exclaimed in amazement, eyes wide as he goggled at where Arashi had been a moment before, he'd vanished in a heartbeat, which was no surprise as some were placing bets he'd be faster then even Byakuya one day.

They were unaware that he had higher aspirations, the fastest warrior was the one who won, and Arashi wanted to be just like his namesake...he wanted to be faster then lightning, he wanted to be the storm...and he could only do that by surpassing the name of the Goddess of Flash.
He smiled to himself, chuckling at his hubris, surpass a woman that even the 6th Squad Captain hadn't ever beaten? Any one of the captains, hell not even them would tell him he was getting cocky, jumpy.

As he hurtled through the air, his single steps when he landed carrying him miles and miles as he rapidly circled around the Menos as it slowly, ponderously began to finally cross the rest of the way into Earth, the human world, the real world some called it, it had many names...and all had at some point called it home, and would again, an endless cycle of death, and rebirth.

Neverending, spirits and shinigami alike in Soul Society perished, and their reishi flowed onwards and caused them to be born anew on Earth, the focal point between three worlds, humans died and became spirits, shinigami or Hollows...
Hollows died and were reborn anew as other spirits, and vice versa, even those that were consumed by other hollows, though their power was gone, would be eventually reborn.

Now, he was at his destination, and he cast about to see what was going on, had Hana taken up his offer? Or had she left it to him, he wouldn't blame her, a Menos was a fearsome opponent and not to be taken lightly.
