returning to karakura town

a garganta had opened above the streets of karakura town and out came falling to the ground was a person. Zanjis was all bloody and beaten and bruised up and had one arm at a strange angle. his arm had ben broken he landed on the sidewalk and rolled over on the ground. his old shinigami clothes were in rags and he was bleeding from his head. No one noticed him because Zanji was out of his gigai.
He coughed up some more blood on the sidewalk and tired to crawls into a nearby alley. but he olnly made it half way there when he lost consciousness the garganta then closed in the sky.

A Garganta opened not far from Zanji's location. A Manticore-looking Arrancar stepped out of the Garganta with his arms crossed. So this is the human world. It does seem rather busy and peaceful. I should definately get to know the different areas of this town. Kyouga thought as he walked toward the injured Shinigami. "Did he just get here, or...?" Kyouga said to himself quietly as he stared down at him. No, he seems to be more than a Shinigami... Did he faint? Kyouga thought as he waited to see if the guy would get up.

Orihime saw something fall from a Garganta afew blocks away and sends Lilly out to find what it was. She runs in the direction of the Garganta as Lilly flies ahead of her. After two blocks of running Lilly returns and leads Orihime to Zanji who is bleeding heavily and looks like someone used him or her for a punching bag. Orihime doesn't concern herself with the gender of this shinigami since she is more concerned with healing them.

"Shuno, Ayam Soten Kisshun I reject." Shuno and Ayame fly out and pass over Zanji crating the field of energy that rejects events and restores anything to before the event occurred, although Orihime still finds things that refuse to be rejected at times. She knows she has to help this shinigami, although she helps just about everyone out of habit. She watches as Zanji's wounds close up and all the damage to Zanji's uniform vanish as well, she knows it will take longer to restore Zanji's reiatsu, but she knows it will probably be needed.

Kyouga noticed that Orihime appeared to heal the man. Regardless, Kyouga knew that she didn't want to concern herself with him. Yet, he did decide to sonido behind her. "Whatcha doin' miss Inoue?" Kyouga said fairly politely with his right hand on his hip. He could care less if he startled her. In fact, he knew that he could easily take her down.

Zanjis hands twitched and one eye opened. the world was still blurry his second eye then opened. He felt two spiritual pressures one seemed to feel warm and gentle but the other was a threatening kind of pressure. He turned over onto his back and noticed his old uniform had been mended completely and his injuries were healed. His reiatsu was also beginning to return to him slowly. He then saw a orange haired women and a barrier like structure over him." whats going on who are you why are you helping me?"

He then noticed another person but this person was the person who he felt the threatening spiritual pressure from. "Miss get out of here run You stay away from her arrancar." Zanji tried getting up but it was still no use his body wasn't completely done healing yet.

"Oh, really? What are you going to do about it?" Kyouga asked the injured male in a taunting tone. Regardless, Kyouga didn't feel like hurting Orihime or the person she was healing. That just wasn't his style, but he had other things on his mind. "Let's see... There's an abundance of souls, there are spiratually aware humans... Yeah, this is definitely the place Aizen-Sama was talking about." Kyouga said in a lecturing tone, hoping to intimidate the guy.

"I'm uh... healing him." Orihime's face shows how nervous she is. She stands there looking at Kyouga with no sign of aggression, although she does show signs of of fear but mostly concern for him. She knows she is likely going to have to send out Lilly, Biagon and Hinagiku to protect herself or the Shinigami she is helping. But that is something she is used to now.

"Carry on..." Kyouga said as he sonidoed to the other side of the rejecting barrier. Kyouga then sat down and waited for the guy to regain his strength. "So, what's your name, man?" Kyouga asked the male in a happy tone. Surely, Kyouga was the most unheard of Arrancar both of them had met. Regardless, Kyouga wanted to fight this guy at his best.

Kisuke jumps down from the roof just behind Kyouga "My my what do we have here? An Arrancar who is willing to wait for someone t be healed? Are my eyes deceiving me or Arrancar becoming more intelligent lately? Orihime I see your the same as always. Anyway, hat's your name little Arrancar? I'm Kisuke Urahara the owner of a little candy shop not far from here." Kisuke leans on Benihime in it's cane form while waiting for Kyouga to tell him his name.

Zanji felt his body finally feel back to normal. "release the barrier im fine now." Zanjis hands tensed in anger as the arrancar talked about karakura town. the name aizen struck a very sore subject with him. "So your working for aizeneh." Zanjis hands shook and suddenly his spiritual pressure back to rise rapidly.

"Urahara Kisuke?! ....uhhhhhh.... I'm Kyouga "Allon" Manti." Kyouga said, finishing his introduction calmly. Kyouga anime sweat-dropped as Urahara made his appearance. "It's a pleasure to meet you sir, and you are truely not deceived! ^^ " Kyouga said energetically to Urahara in a friendly manner.

Orihime drops the barrier ending the the restoration of Zanji's reiatsu. Shuno and Ayame float over to just in front of Orihime each on one side of Orihime's face. "Urahara san what are you doing here? Isn't this normally the kind of thing Yoruichi does?"

Zanjis hands shook in anger and his spiritual pressure greatly increased his energy was actually starting to become visible. he gritted his teeth lost in his anger. "I will not forgive aizen for what he did to me i will make him pay and i will make any of his subordinates pay for serving him."

"Sunds like fun to me! Just tell me when you're ready, man." Kyouga said enthusiastically. As he stood up and started doing some stretching exercises. Kyouga was looking forward to this and knew that his opponent wouldn't hold back. "What's your name, by the way? I believe that is customary to know your opponent's name." Kyouga said calmly to the possible Vizard.

"Orihime get over here please? You can watch this while sitting next to me okay?" Kisuke sits down to watch what is going to happen. He makes a spot for Orihime by placing a some cloth on the ground for her.

Zanji grasped his zanpaktou handel and withdrew it from his sheath. he turned his head to the person named orihime adn kisuke urahara. "Thanks for helping me orihime." He he charged toward the arrancar and said "my name is zanji ryotoji former member of squad one." He then shunpoed right behind the arrancar and attempted to slash its back with his sword.

"Pleasure..." Kyouga said as he sonidoed behind Zanji and rapidly kicked him in the back. "It would be nice if you were to fight me with no restraint, Zanji." Kyouga said calmly after he was done with his assault. Kyouga was starting to have fun, but the fight was mildly exciting. In any case Kyouga really wanted to see what Zanji could do.

zanji felt his back being repeatedly kicked and he skidded acorss the ground. When he stopped he was smiling at the arrancar. "Oh i dont plan on holding back that wouldnt be any fun now would it." Zanji tightened his grip on his sword and said "Judge them veritas" his sword then went into its shikai form. Zanji spun his massive sword in his hand and jumped from the sides of the buildings using his shunpo and appeared behind the arrancar and he thenswung his sword again at the arrancars back.

Orihime watches the fight from beside Kisuke. She is somewhat sad to see them fighting, but knows that this is how it has to be. The fact that they are hurting each other as well possibly trying to kill each other is something that causes Orihime some inner turmoil, but she is starting to get a handle on it. She knows that someday she just might learn to accept such things and be able to fight alongside Ichigo and the others as an equal. But that day is far into the future if ever.

Kyouga sonidoed away from his opponent's attack, but his left arm was bleeding from the shoulder down. "Impressive, but I don't have very many skills. However, a flesh wound like this is just a paper cut to me." Kyouga said calmly as the bleeding stopped. Kyouga then unsheathed his sword and sonidoed behind Zanji as he attepted to cut him across the back.

Zanji smiled as he sawhe had wounded the arrancar. He then saw that the arrancar had sonidoed. Zanji smiled as he quickly turned around and guarded against the arrancars attack.. "That maybe so but I have a few tricks up my sleeve. Zanji then shunpoed behind the arrancar and swung his sword and fired his veritas strike at the arrancars back. The energy wave shot out of his sword in a blast of green reiatsu.

Kyouga quickly shot a Cero to block the blast. "You are a really good fighter Zanji. For that, you have earned my utmost respect. I'm rather afraid to say that that's as flashy as my attacks come. To be honest, I still haven't developed a lot of long range attacks. So, you will have the advantage if you keep your distance." Kyouga said calmly. Kyouga really was facing a good challenge. "Yet, I think that you already have proven that you can best me in this fight. Fortunately, I intend to give you a good time." Kyouga added to Zanji.

Luppi was standing in the sky, like it was concrete below his feet thanks to the reishi he collected there. The espada came out of the garganta earlier together with Kyouga, however he was masking his reiatsu and avoided being noticed since then. Only well-trained shinigamis would have been able to notice him now. He was observing the unfolding battle between his fracción and that guinea pig of Aizen-sama. It was boring to just observe but he wanted to see what's Kyouga capable of, so he decided to intervene only if absolutely needed. The manticore-like arrancar already picked up a minor injury - a slightly disappointing sight, though the wound would be healed with releasing the resurrección so it wasn't a big deal. Luppi sat down and continued to watch the fight with a bored expression on his face.

Kyouga felt bad for Luppi having to watch Kyouga fight. Kyouga now understood that he was being just too easy on his opponent. So he decided to redeem himself by firing another fully charged Cero at Zanji, since Zanji appeared to be taking up time about thinking about how he was going to get rid of Kyouga. Regardlessly, Kyouga wasn't one to wait for his opponent to make slow decisions.
