[quote=Kurisa] Ryuu waited in an Abandoned warehouse when Ayashi showed up with a soul and whistled out to him "Good..." Ryuu walked towards the large open door as he came out the shadows just enough to be seen "You ready?" The soul looked confused by this as Ryuu placed his right hand on the Souls left shoulder then the souls energy suddenly spiked as he removed his hand "We wait..." the soul now gained an even more confused look as Ryuu unsheathed his Zanpakuto making the soul gulp "Hold still..." Ryuu held the hilt of his Zanpakuto to the Souls head or more a few Centimeters away from his head...he waited patiently until he felt the presence of a hollow coming and sure enough upon one of the roofs stood a hollow with smoke pouring from it's skin as fire occasionally burst out, Ryuu then placed the hilt of his Zanpakuto against the souls head sending it away to the Soul society, The hollow cursed the Ryuu and Ayashi and being one that could talk showed how different it was "" the hollow then turned and leaped off as Ryuu disappeared from where he was standing then the hollow flew down and crashed into a nearby roof, flipping off it and flying through another building "Cowards run..." The hollow then burst fire out from it's body as blew down a wall then fired a Cero at Ryuu before turning to Ayashi and swinging it's burning arm at her, aiming to basically close-line her with it and as it got closer the flames grew more vicious [/quote] As the Hollow came, Ayashi activated her Shikai and waited. The hollow talked, which Aya took notice off, once Ryuu finished sending the soul off the Hollow attacked. It fired a cero at Ryuu then tried to close-line her with it's arm, Ayashi quickly switched to Yin form and activated Yin Shadows Strike. Luckily the place was dark, she slashed up and a wide and long shadow from the ground pierced through the Hollow's arm keeping it in place for a few seconds. It gave her a chance to back up a bit, four strikes left. She used the other four to strike the Hollow's mask while the first kept it in place. She flew into the air when the ability deactivated. [I]It's weakened, that's good[/I], Ayashi thought before activating Yin Shadows Spikes. Three medium sized spikes flew behind her, easier accuracy and a chance to pierce through the Hollow. She sent one flying off towards the Hollow's mask.
