You Wanna Fight? Let's Go

A girl stepped out from behind her, though by now Annabelle had picked up on her spiritual energy. She was neither Quincy nor shinigami, but simply human. It was rare to find a human with a higher level of spiritual abilities that wasn't a Quincy, whom themselves were rare enough as it was. Annabelle turned to face her, it was a young raven haired lass, with glasses sitting across the bridge of her nose and a track uniform from what Annabelle took to be the local high school. She was about to ask what it was that girl wanted from her when she decided to apologize.

This caused Annabelle to keep her peace as she decided to hear the girl out. She watched as she shifted the satchel on her shoulder, though she couldn't tell if it was from nerves or because she simply wished for more comfort. She would guess the latter though as her hands weren't shaking in the least, but neither was she showing any form of emotional discomfort or stress on her facial features.

"You are a shinigami in disguise, yes? I had some questions for you."

Annabelle? A shinigami? This girl was either new to the spiritual world or she just took Annabelle for a fool, and that she most definitely was not. Being the untrusting soul that she was Anna's right hand raised in no time pointing directly at the girl. By now she had already begun manipulating the reishi around the mystery girls feet making it so that they would attempt to hold her in place. At the same time the shotgun of an azure colour formed in her hand. "I'd prefer it if you didn't come any closer. Now, what exactly do you know about the shinigami?" She needed information and she had to start somewhere. This girl seemed to be her best around here, at least it was something.

She caught the moment when the girls gaze shifted downwards towards her feet then back to Annabelle. So, she wasn't surprised by that then it wasn't the first time she'd come across spells. Though she wasn't quite sure what type of spell the girl may have seen. The shotgun remained pointed in the girls direction as she spoke, saying how she didn't wish to fight but she would defend herself if it came to it. The Quincy gazed upon her with eyes filled with annoyance. She supposed she could be overreacting, but she couldn't say for sure. Fine, for now she would put away her weapon, but she'd still hold the bind.

"Right, lets get to it then." She said as she watched the girl pull some collapsable headphones from her pocket, putting on some music. Which, to Anna was odd. Did this girl not happen to realize the seriousness of the situation she was in?

"Now then, if you would be so kind. I still haven't found one of these evil quincy I've heard of. How can I tell the difference between them and a human?"

Annabelles' train of thought was broken by those last few words uttered by the girl. She'd never met a Quincy before, not that she knew, so she must've seen Shinigami magic. She's ran into them before and what's more she'd been told that the Quincy were evil. It was possible that this girl was working along with them. Her eyes searched the bespectacled girls face some hint, or clue as to who she really was and what it was that she really wanted. But she gave nothing away, nothing. Her face was dead and emotionless.

Perhaps she should just kill this girl here and now and get it over with. Suddenly the warning from that man in the hotel popped into her head. It was clear shinigami were aware of the presence of Quincy in Karakura town if this human was also. Which meant they probably were on the lookout for her kind, was this girl one pair of their eyes and ears? Or was this simply chance? Was Annabelle willing to take that chance, to gamble with her life like that. No she had to be smart, otherwise she wouldn't survive long enough to accomplish her own goals. Much less gain the powers of a God. Perhaps, she should be a little more cooperative, but she wouldn't let her guard down.

The Quincy released the bind after the girls question and crossed her arms across her chest and she stared curiously at the girl. "Quincy? How does a human like you know about Quincy? And who was it that told you they were evil?"

It wasn't that she didn't agree, but depending on who this girl has been getting her information from, just blabbing about who she was could lead to more trouble than she really wanted to deal with right now.

One of us? By us, Annabelle would assume she meant the shinigami. Yes they were spreading propaganda like it was world war II. A shinigami, eh?"

Annabelle stayed where she was as she peered at the girl who was also watching her closely. "But they never told you how to find them. " From what the girl was saying it was possible that she was just acting on wrong information given to her, but with that being said she did need a potential ally. "It's true, most of the Quincy are evil. Well perhaps even the whole lot of them, but why is it you want to find one so badly?"

It wasn't that Annabelle refused to offer help, but until she knew she could trust this girl she wasn't just going to simply offer herself up as bait. Though it was odd that a human knew about Shinigami, much less a Quincy. Which one of the robe wearing dumb ass samurai thought it was a good idea to blab off their mouth to a normal human. Albeit she could see and react with the spiritual world, but damn wasn't there some rule about humans staying out of this. Wasn't that why the Quincy got labelled. How did this one get a pass?

She wanted to question one. To compile data and come to a conclusion on how she felt about the race as a whole. Well maybe she wasn't entirely brainwashed by the shinigami, still was it worth taking the risk?

"I released you a few minutes ago actually, I'm surprised you haven't noticed."

Annabelle stayed staring at the girl a while longer as she pondered what exactly she should do with her. She was seemingly harmless and she didn't seem to really have much knowledge about how this world worked. Why was it so important for her to know more about Quincy? Had she never heard the term 'Curiosity killed the cat'. With that being said, she could try to recruit this girl to her cause. If she did try to run to the shinigami, well she'd just have to end her before it got to that. She didn't really need to the bother of being found out right now by those guys. She was still within her planning phase of things.

"Well you're right in thinking that Quincy are similar to humans. Actually, that's exactly what they are." Annabelle took a deep breath and then continued. "Within the spiritual world there are these things called spirit ribbons, you can see them if you really focus. It makes it quite easy to find out what or who someone is. For instance a shinigami would have a red spirit thread. A human, white and a Quincy, well they'd be white too seeing as they are human." While she did give the girl useful information it wasn't exactly what she was looking for.

"To be honest, there's not much you can do to tell a Quincy from a human, at least not until it's too late. Though the easiest way to know a Quincy would be this." Once more she raised her right hand, the pendant hanging onto the bracelet around her wrist fell from the sleeve of her shirt revealing the cross to the young woman. It glowed the eerie azure she had shown earlier and then once more as if like magic the shotgun appeared in her hand.

"We Quincy, unlike the shinigami you've been talking to, prefer to use projectiles over swords."

Sutekina Kikoeru had been walking down the sidewalk in his usual getup, a blue almost skin tight shirt with a green and black vest over it and black jeans. He had yellow headphones around his neck with the faint sound of music coming from the ear pieces. Today was a very boring day for this mod soul he had not run into anything that would be amusing to him aside from a food stall with actually good smelling and tasting food. He started to yawn covering his mouth as he did so with his right hand, it was starting to get late and he had no were currently to hide out and sleep.

As he was walking down the road he happened to see two girls talking with each other, one was wearing headphones and the other seemed to strangely have a shotgun. Well this is definitely interesting I wonder what caused this to happen. He did faintly hear the girl with headphones mention quincy so he was already starting to suspect that the girl with the shotgun might actually be a quincy but he was not sure. After a few more steps he sat down on the sidewalk to watch the two girls his face was carefree and it seemed as though the shotgun in the girls hand did not faze him. As he was sat down on the side walk he turned up his iPod a bit to better hear the music not too worried if the two girls could faintly hear it. His head bobbed occasionally with a slight smile on his face. At this point he had started to regret not buying some snacks earlier he felt like a show might start at any moment.

"No. You, don't?" was all she said in answer to girls question, watching as stepped back a few steps. She wasn't happy about the newcomer. Nor his nonchalant attitude about the whole situation. What, a gun in his face wasn't a big enough hint to get lost? Then to make matters worse, he even started joking, about how he didn't have popcorn to watch with. Or about how they should give him snacks if they had any. That's two people she'd already revealed herself to, and one was unintentional. She couldn't have every Tom, Dick and Harry knowing she was here. She didn't quite want to be known, not just yet anyways.

She adjusted her stance, turning so she could keep both of them within her field of vision. "I'm not sure you're understanding the situation. You don't really have the option of sticking around to watch." Her voice had a tone of finality in it. This was the last warning he would get. It was one thing to be bumped into by a human strictly on coincidence, but two in one day? And the second wasn't even the least bit surprised or scared. At least the girl had been clueless, or had she just been playing this whole time? Were they working together, just waiting for her to out herself. No. Couldn't be, if that was the case why not just jump her when she had first summoned her gun?

"I don't know who you are, or why you're here, but you need to leave and forget you saw us."

Seeing that the quincy was not going to settle down with him around and the other girl was starting to leave he frowned a bit. Grabbing his headphones he moved them onto his head and over his ears, by now the music has switched over to a new song. After doing this it would seem that blue electricity started to spark around him and both of the girls would feel as though they are slower while he himself would feel faster. So he could hear the two girls he turned the music down a bit and looked at them with an almost upset expression on his face.

“I am sorry was it something that I said? If this was some sort of reunion then I am sorry for crashing it. Otherwise maybe this quincy here should apologize for acting so rudely.” The expression on his face changed to be a bit more serious as he smiled at them. He was still sitting down and his hands were not in a position where he would suddenly attack. He was trying his best to seem as little of a threat as possible he had simply used his soul release to keep the girl with headphones from leaving and to show the quincy if he had to he would fight back. “Ah I know I should introduce myself, my name is Sutekina Kikoeru but you can call me whatever you want.” He said, he had no worries about giving out his name or what he was called since his current name was not a birth name that others might have.

As he heard the bang of the shotgun Sutekina let out a sigh as he reached his right hand out toward the quincy girl. The reishi in the air went to and formed a bow in his hand a smile appearing on Sutekina’s face as an arrow is fired from the bow at the shot of reishi made by the girl’s shotgun. His arrow was not strong but judging by the reishi they both used it would not only be faster but it would also pierce through the girls attack and was aimed for a non lethal shot at her shoulder. Sutekina did not want to kill the girl but he did want to show her that attacking him was pointless he quickly lowered the bow so he wasn’t aimed at her hoping she would see he would rather not fight.

“Now I see why you quincy and shinigami are always fighting. The both of you are the same act first ask questions later.” He did not let his guard down as he spoke he was prepared to match any attack of hers with his own, if he did not prepare for such a thing he would be asking to be attacked again. “You’re hostility is unwarranted, don’t you think if I wanted to kill you I would have before you noticed me?” He sighed speaking as if he was pointing out the obvious to the trigger happy quincy. If she does continue to attack him though he was no longer going to hold back, his body to him was repairable and replaceable after all. He did realize what he showed her was a quincy type of technique but the way he said his first sentence he had hoped she would doubt he was a quincy and would be more inclined to ask questions rather than fight.
