Wandering aimlessly (open)

Ezrion walked around the streets of the city, not at all his usual insane self. He was not muttering under his breath, though his eyes held a fractured look, as if he might break at any second. He had been talking to a random teenage girl who had asked the crazy man for directions, her actions towards him been very... flirtaceous. He had not noticed however as he had given her directions without question and moved on, his back aimed towards the girl.

He loosened his leather vest and pulled the left sleeve of his sweater, His blood red sweater. He then leaned his head back and looked up at the sky, his eyes still having that dangerous fractured look, getting worse by the second. He looked ahead and saw the girl from before, leaning towards him. Her rather large bust aimed towards him as she shook her whole body at him, a pout on her face. He smirked at her and she smiled. "Why did you run off in such a hurry for?"


He smiled at her and sighed shaking his head. "No reason, I just wanted to keep moving." He rubbed the back of his neck, the sound of slightly squeaking leather could be heard. He walked up to the girl and shook his head. "Trust me when I say you don't want to get involved with me, go find a boy your own age."

She ran off a saddened expression on her face, but he knew she would get over it. He smirked at her shrinking figure and turned, hands in his pockets and walked away, already beginning to mutter to himself, talking to his old friends Issac and Jeremiah.

Akari was herself, wandering around quite aimlessly, since the meeting she had found that she was spending much less time alone now. Which was her aim in the first place, but now she had all these people to simply exist with, what else could they really do? She knew it was impossible for them to go back to the soul society, and the hollows were still hollows so there was no alliance there... It was just the vizards keeping to themselves really. Though, she had been ignoring the humans around Karakura town so far, as she knew that really she was invisible to all of these people, though she did notice one person distinctly eyeing her, which was strange, a teen-aged girl who looked a little unhappy.. she briefly pondered why this was but soon decided it didn't really matter in the slightest.

Instead, she would just continue walking, changing directions a few times before she became completely lost. With a sigh, she walked around a corner and before she knew it, she was laying on her back having run into someone. ”... ow” she said half-heartedly as she looked up to the person whom she had ran into. ”I'm sorry I wasn't paying attention” she didn't notice who it was quite yet.. though she figured that it wasn't human... just what was it?

She would pick herself up and brush herself off until she saw that it just so happened to be a fellow vizard... whom she had mostly forgotten the name of since the meeting, in fact she had little idea on who this at all...

Ezrion broke free from his own multi-personed conversation as someone ran into him, which was in itself surprising. as most people ran right through him. He then recognized her from the meeting not long ago, a bright smile popping over his features. He reached a hand out to her and with his other hand waved off her apology. "No harm done. I know you from the meeting right? What was your name again?" He asked her, a smile still on his face.

Ezrion did recognize her like he had thought, he just couldn't match up a name with the face, though he had never been good with names, it took him a couple decades to get it right sometimes.

Akari looked to the other Vizard's outstretched hand and gently shook it as he shrugged off her apology. Not that she minded in the slightest of course. ”Yes, I'm Akari Sasaki...” she said though still he hadn't offered a name yet, and she was a little embarrassed that she had forgotten his in such a short amount of time. Though, she wondered why he was smiling like that, that in itself was quite strange. So, she would stay silent as she had done in most of the meeting while she waited for him to continue the conversation, it wasn't like she had anything better to do.

Ezrion's smile softened. "Hello Akari, but where are my manners. I am Ezrion Alexander." He Gently brought her hand up to his mouth and kissed the back of it in a gentlemanly fashion. He then released it from his grasp. "So Akari what exactly are you doing out here on such a wonderful day? Traveling, looking around, lost?"

He added in a little joke at the end, trying to ease the growing tension. He rubbed the back of his neck as he stood waiting for a reply.

Akari couldn't help but feel a blush appear on her cheeks as he kissed her hand, it was such a gentlemanly thing to do. Though, behind them he would probably see the girl from before, he jaw could of fallen to the floor after seeing such a thing, and with someone who looked just as young as she did, though as she saw him spot her, she quickly would disappear again.”Well, to be perfectly honest with you Ezrion-San, I am quite lost” she admitted, though that she didn't seem embarrassed about that fact, she was regretting her choice to go out on a little adventure on her own though.

The tension seemed to be dissipating now though, which was probably a good thing. They at least knew each others names now.

Ezrion smiled at her blushing, noticing the vague outline of the girl from before, who hadn't turned around. He then nodded, as she confirmed his theory about her being lost. "Well, I would help you.... If I knew where we were." He laughed slightly, as he himself had gotten lost wandering the streets. He had a thought though.


"Seeing as how we are both a little lost why don't we go together, it might be easier to find out where we are if we stick together." He smiled as he offered, wondering how his natural ability of fear was affecting her. He mentally shrugged at the thought, if she could overcome her fear that was good enough for him.

Ezrion's revelation that he too was lost made Akari somewhat unsettled. Not enough that she doubted they would get back. Though she would just nod to him as she decided he was going to lead the way, if all else failed they could try and locate the others by their spiritual pressure, unless they had already began masking it of course...

As for fear, Akari wasn't really effected, as him simply being there sated it. Her fear was loneliness, ever since her exile she was somewhat overcome with fear that she would be alone for the rest of her existence. She has overcome this soon after finding her new comrades. As such, she seemed to be showing no visible signs of any sort of fear...

Ezrion began to walk along, having a general idea of where he was, but not a perfect one. He brushed his hair from his eyes and shook his head lightly. He turned back to Akari, eager to continue there conversation. "So Akari how long exactly have you been a Vizard?" He asked, a small smile ever present on his face. He awaited for her response.

Akari followed closely behind him now, silently wondering to herself what to do if they couldnt find their way back.. When their conversation had started again, which broke up her moment of uneasiness. "I... Well I really can't remember.. It was such a long time ago now" she really couldn't quite remember when she had been hollowfied, she could remember where though... And the blood, she could definately remember that.

Though as she looked back to him, she saw not the friendly Ezrion, instead she saw the man responsible for her current perdicament.. Her hand went for her Zanpakuto, ready to draw and cut him down... Though she stopped, noticing her grip on the sword... Quickly she came to her senses...

Ezrion walked backwards so that he could face Akari as she spoke. When she said it had been long ago, so long that she couldn't remember he just nodded. When her hand gripped her blade and nearly pulled it loose he smirked, knowing exactly what had happened. So my fear is getting to her. Interesting.

He lead them to an empty field, devoid of anything, save for a single oak tree at it's heart. He waved Akari over and smiled at her. He rested his shoulder against the tree and asked a single word question. "Spar?"

Akari released the grip on her zanpakuto, she was being silly, there wasn't anything that could hurt her here... but for some reason she felt that her companion had something to do this hallucination. But when she took her attentions back to their location she noticed that they were in some kind of clearing... maybe they had managed to somehow get even more lost than they had been before.. but it seemed that Ezrion had something other than getting home in mind.

”Spar? But... well I guess..” she said, though she wasn't sure about this, she took a few steps back until there was a bit of a gap between them as she placed her hand on her zanpakuto, ready to draw. ”Whenever you are ready” she said.

Ezrion smirked, pushing himself off of the tree trunk. He rested his left hand on his Zanpakuto, motioning for Akari to bring it. He Didn't remove his blade nor move in any fashion, just waited for Akari's first move. He scanned the area, the high grass, the single tree directly behind him, the blue sky, untainted by the clouds.

He then glanced over his opponent, taking in every thing he could see, her posture, her stance, her height, approximate weight, possible strength, and more, all within the span of a second.

What he saw of her was something of a illusion, there were things he could tell just by looking at her, but judging her on her looks and stances alone was a horrible mistake. Though it would have been worse if he had been an enemy. She was former second division, she was never going to be as straight forward as she seemed. She unsheathed her Zanpakuto and held it ready. ”Good luck~” before suddenly, the battle would begin.

Akari was very proficient with shunpo, in fact, during her time as captain she was known to be the best in Seireitei. Though it may have changed by now. All he would see is her sudden disappearance and her spiritual pressure would move very rapidly, directly at him, only to divert to the left diagonally and then move in from behind him to attack, in the blink of an eye.

Ezrion smirked as she bade him good luck, and had just enough time to nod his head at her in return before she vanished. He felt her movements and turned, blade already in hand to block her attack. He pushed her back and sighed. He held his blade left handed, blade extending backwards in a strange style of fighting. He swung it three times, each going for a separate tier of her body, head, torso, legs. He himself shunpoed behind her to end it with a stab at the center of her spine.

She was holding back slightly, her full speed she didn't feel was needed just yet. She didn't expect him to be able to keep up that well though. As he blocked her attack and pushed her backwards. Though, his awkward style seemed to interest her, she would quickly dodge each of the attacks, moving just out of the way each time until he disappeared, leaving her only moments to suddenly, move to the side as he stabbed at her, only for her to spin around and slash at his neck while she did so.

As each of attacks were avoided Ezrion smirked, rolling forward as Akari slashed at his neck. He got to his feet, skill holding his weapon in his weakest of forms, though against most it was more than was needed. But he had a feeling that against this foe he may need to try a little harder.

He continued as he was for now and he shunpoed to her left, slashing downwards at her ribs, all of his attacks being inflicted with lethal intent, knowing she was more than up to it.

Akari didn't expect to hit him, and as she finished he spin found that he had attacked once more, using shunpo to quickly move to her side. She brought up her zanpakuto to block the attack before making a hasty retreat, only to hold her zanpakuto ready, she grinned. ”Strike, Amaterasu!” Though it was quite a strange shikai... he would notice the black flames surrounding her, but there was no heat, nothing else at all changed. But then she would suddenly stab the ground with her zanpakuto, and suddenly black flames would race towards him.

Ezrion was not surprised in the least when his latest attack was dodged, nor when she retreated from him. However when Akari spoke and became coated in black fire his eyes widened, having not expected her to take him that seriously. He thought for a moment about donning his mask, but he knew it's power wasn't needed yet, and jumped five meters to the left to avoid the black flames rushing towards him.

He clucked his tongue at Akari. "You seem like you want to end this quickly. Very well allow me to assist you in that." He spun Hujokashi in his hand, holding it forward now and he slashed it thrice at the ground in front of him, cutting deep into it. He then cracked his neck and slowly advanced, being wary of her flames, expecting for her to at any moment launch more of them at him.

Akari didn't expect him to be hit by her flames, so that didn't worry her much. Instead, she pulled her Zanpakuto from the ground and readied herself. Walking forward untill she was close enough for her next attack. Without any warning at all, she would completely disappear, becoming untraceable or a moment. Only for her to appear behind him. If the attack worked, he would feel a sharp pain on his right arm, with a long shallow cut across it.

Ezrion watched her walk closer, and just as she got within his range he slashed, only to hit thin air as she once again vanished, though this time he didn't feel her presence as he had the previous time. When suddenly she was behind him he was too stunned to move fast enough gaining himself a swallow gash on his right arm. He jumped forward spinning around to face Akari, a slight grimace on his face.

He instantly replaced in with a full grin as he spun his blade in his left hand, randomly lunging out at her throat, pulling down at the last second, spinning the tip to trace down the center of her chest to her stomach, only a shallow wound as she had given him.

Akari saw her attack had worked, it was quite effective for those who hadn't seen it before, excellent for assassination. But, she was for once to slow to avoid his attack, moving to late and making it worse. Her top was easily cut by his Zanpakuto, the cloth fell apart revealing the cut underneath... "Don't look!" she said quickly, dropping her Zanpakuto to cover herself.. Blushing furiously.

Ezrion smirked as his blade made contact, and that's when he realized where he was cutting and quickly averted his gaze as the clothing she had been wearing separated into two pieces. As she dropped her Zanpakuto he reached down and caught it in his right hand, still with his eyes averted. He held it out to her and cleared his throat.

"Sorry about that, wasn't quite thinking about where I was aiming." He rubbed the back f his neck, a sheepish smile on his face.

Akari didn't know why she had let that attack slip through, she took her zanpakuto and sheathed it before covering herself again, the blush was still visible. ”Was that really necessary?” she asked, she decided that it was over, only because he cheated though, so he didn't win in her mind.

Ezrion continued to rub the back of his neck, smiling apologetically at her. "No, I wasn't thinking, I got to into the fight and wasn't paying attention to the area I was aiming at. Sorry." He looked over at her face, his smile still intact. He knew the fight was over, just because she would be unable to continue with her clothes like that, though he also knew he didn't win, no one did.

He tried to figure out what he should do to make it up to her, she had cut him, but he had exposed her, so he did the 'worst'. He offered one more to take her to the base, now revealing to her that he always knew where it was, he had just brought her here for a fight.
