[@Kurisa] The Hollows began growing scarce for some reason, puzzling both women. [color=9932CC][b]"Looks like the Hollows gave up. About time they did too, dumb bastards"[/b][/color] Nairin swiped the palms of her hands together confidently whereas Nishiki just stood staring at where Shinzo and Shizuka were with a face of stone. Lifting an eyebrow, Nairin walked over to her, confused. [color=9932CC][b]"What's wrong?"[/b][/color] She asked. [color=3CB371][b]"Look"[/b][/color] Came Nishiki's short response. A Cero had been fired at Shinzo's back as he held Shizuka to protect her. Watching from the sidelines, Nairin's eyebrows pulled a touch closer together as the sense of an oncoming serious situation weaved through the air. Hearing her name called, Nairin lifted her head up a touch and looked at her Captain as he ordered. She crossed her arms and stayed silent since she was far enough away from them as it was, if the situation turned ugly then she'd follow Shinzo's command and retreat. However, she new that the likeliness of that happening with her Captain there were slim since he was obviously extremely strong and thus she wasn't worried. [color=9932CC][b]"Hmhm, you might get to witness a bit of my Captain's power Niki"[/b][/color] Nishiki looked at Nairin beside her with a smile before returning her face to stone and watching the scene unfold. Nairin kept her her arms crossed and watched along with her. Clearly this arrancar was no match for Shinzo, it was obvious through Shinzo's posture to see that he was fully capable at handling the situation alone. When the arrancar released their Zanpakuto, Nairin's eyes grew a little wider at the immense power she sensed. How long would it take her to get to that level? She had to admit that since joining the academy, she hadn't really done any serious training with her Zanpakuto, only training her body, fighting techniques and speed. She hardly used her Zanpakuto and only did within desperate situations, even still she kept it sealed. No wonder it was taking her so long to increase her power level... Eventually she had to tackle that issue and finally let her Zanpakuto free, but for some reason, she [i]still[/i] didn't want to. Glancing at Nishiki, the other woman didn't seem affected at all. Her face was still like stone, Nairin swear she could easily mistake her for a mannequin. Turing her gaze back to the fight, the whole situation unravelled but soon came to a close with the appearance of a mysterious person. Nairin and Nishiki couldn't quite get a good look due to a mass amount of trees in the way, but the figure left just as quickly as they came. [color=9932CC][i]'Weird...'[/i][/color] Both Nairin and Nishiki found the encounter strange due to the addition of that mysterious person... What were arrancars even doing in the Soul Society? And surveying? What for? And who was the mysterious person? Why did they stop the fight? What was actually going on? Questions piled in Nairin's mind, but soon she shook them away when Shinzo mentioned taking a break and following him. Shizuka had disappeared as usual, which was a bit of a relief for Nairin as she'd definitely never want to have to spend any time near that strange girl outside the necessary. Uncrossing her arms, Nairin followed Shinzo while Nishiki followed Nairin to wherever the place he was talking about was.
