[C] Passive Observation [Closed, Hitsuyona]

Sounds of nature fill the air surrounding the Shinigami as he sit in meditation. A look of solemn nature is present, as the gentle breeze allows his hair to flow seamlessly. "Speak to me." It was useless however, and the expectations were once again absent. He'd hoped that visiting the remains of a meadow he'd once heard his spirit within could bring about a new light in his attempts to draw closer. With a hastened exhale he did open his eyes while abandoning these futile hopes. " What does she want from me?" It was always the same question worded differently, but the conclusion was always similar. Perhaps the event of that day drove him onto a patch that further distanced himself from his lifelong comrade, or so the years had begun to make him believe. 

Hitsuyona brings one knee upright after a brief moment, and places his hand upon one of the two blades in order to stand to his feet. Once standing he would place the sheathed blades upon his waist, and take one last deep breath. Before he could calmly exhale there would be a small surge of pressure that brought about a certain level discomfort. "What the hell?" His eyes squint a bit while simultaneously letting out a discreet 'hmph'. "A hollow.." It would appear as though duty always called, even when you weren't on the clock. 

If casualties were to be kept to a minimum he would have to make quick work of this situation. With that in mind he takes off in the general direction of the spiritual beast. The spiritual pressure it emitted gave him a clear idea of what to expect, unless it had somehow managed to mask some of its power. This was highly unlikely, but even so, the hollow seemed to be more than average in terms of strength. This was of course all speculation based from the feeling he felt as he drew ever so closer to the likely ravaging beast. 

It wouldn't be long before Hitsuyona found himself within a close proximity of this hollow, and it had clearly picked up on his presence even when suppressed. The signature howl that echoed throughout the distance was an obvious sign of this. That, followed by a towering white behemoth that began to make its way towards the Shinigami. Hitsuyona quickly noted that it stood a staggering 10 feet tall, and donned a pair of massive claws he'd rather not come within close distance of. He also noticed an odd lack of citizens present, outside of fearful eyes peering from within their broken homes. It would seem that he had arrived quickly enough to deviate its attention from the noticeable weaker souls nearby. 

This Shinigami wasn't one to beat around the bush when it came to getting results, and had no plan to let this monster get within his comfort zone. As it tried to close the distance between the two he would simply allow himself to gain the high ground, if that was even feasible. Jumping to the cover of a nearby tree branch he begins to unsheathe one of the blades from his waist, holding the cold metal at an arced position with the blade facing west of the hollow. He would then place his opposing hand near the hilt on the dull of the blade, and allows it to slowly move towards the tip. Meanwhile, a yellow energy began to form upon the blade with great intensity. "Okasen."

A yellow beam of light shoots from the blade aimed at the general direction of the massive hollow. In most circumstances it would have been unadvisable to use a kido of this destructive power, but he felt this to be an excepting given the size of the target. The kido soars magnificently towards his enemy with the element of surprise and sheer force; however, it became apparent that the mere use of force alone could not tame such an animal. It's enlarged claws expand as the hollow backhands the blast with ease, causing the yellow hue to crater into the dirt beneath its feet. 


Such a mockery of his capabilities brought about a lingering nuisance beneath the surface of his solemn expression, but more so did the presence of another being bring about a certain sense of disappointment. He wasn't one to openly work as a team, yet the hiding Shinigami was surely to do 'something' opposed to spectating. Hitsuyona assumed that they would've better hid their presence should they wished to watch the battle unfold. He wouldn't have long to debate this matter before a deafening howl was sounded, and the appearance of his 'comrade' was made formal. The Shinigami spoke as if he'd needed some form of guidance, or was respecting the fact that Hitsuyona had begun the battle. In either case, the plan was actually quite simple in theory. 


The man's blade had since returned to a combat ready position, while his gaze stays strictly upon the problem at hand. "Use its strength and size against it." This was the only option that clearly presented itself, beyond a clear plan to purify the hollows soul. The onmitsukido member would then flash step directly towards the behemoth with his left hand stretched outright. A yellow hue would once again accompany the Shinigami's presence, but this time his general posture and expression seemed more ominous than solemn. As he grew closer to the beast its hands stretched outwards in attempts to grab the relatively puny man in comparison. This was the awaited moment Hitsuyona was planning his preemptive strike. The yellow kido begins to stretch out and around the arm in a hastened fashion. "Hainawa." The Shinigami itself would then use the bakudo as leverage to swing himself around this tower of a beast whilst the kido entangles the majority of its body. "Quickly!" He gave the man a 'que' of sorts to do something in response to the likely short lived trap. In the meantime, Hitsuyona had a plan to prolong the inevitable retaliation, should this beast not die from whatever his comrade threw at it. A bright blue hue quickly discharges across the entirety of the previous yellow hue. "Tsuzuri Raiden."

During this brief moment he kept his eyes locked closely to the hollow with the hopes that it would die, but expectation of otherwise attempted strikes at his life. Hitsuyona was never one to willfully place his trust in others capabilities, and often thought of ways to avoid these situations. This mans presence was overall a means to an end, and meanwhile, Hitsuyona was deriving a second course of action. He wouldn't foolishly take this brief moment to jump and strike at the mask, as this would end horribly should the beast break free. No, he needed an escape plan to skillfully retaliate without risking his life.
