The Shihoin Shadow
Yahiko Shihoin
Yahiko came here to learn about Quincy's advances. They'd done some fantastic Engineering and improved things. But he didn't have that right so only surface-level stuff to see. He didn't have a reason to do anything else. But he could ascertain growth had been good. Human World in all had surpassed the Gotei technologically in the Engineering race. It was why he was hybridizing the methods. But it didn't seem important anymore. His uncle was gone and the world seemed darker. Like it had been plunged into a void. It seemed he wasted time coming here but it was fine. His digits held a cigarette between his index and middle fingers. The trouble was with him internally. He didn't have that much power, not enough to fight long. Yahiko knew training would come and so would time. But none the less this trip had been an escape. From the reality that had taken his uncle from him. Chidori was now the Leader, he got no note. He'd either disappointed his uncle or he wasn't concerned.
Yahiko didn't claim to know either way. His skin was dark and while he did carry his Zanpakuto. Nobody could see the pocket knife sized weapon. So it was helpful in the long run. Yahiko's skills allowed him to fight with his bare fists and body. Something he'd trained to frighten precision. The skills he had on earth were well rounded and developed. Employing them was a different matter, he didn't care to show off Shunko. As it was a family secret and they didn't just pass that out. Yahiko's eyes stared off to the horizon now. As smoke drifted from his cigarette.

Thus far the day had been quiet Carter thought as he walked the streets of The City of Light, he wasn’t slated to have his meeting until tomorrow and had somehow managed to screw up the dates, so he arrived a day early. This left him with nothing to do but explore, which he did, a lot. Hours of walking and talking to street vendors, studying fantastic designs and even making quick notes of the designs of some buildings had left him feel rather dulled now. He had taken a lot in and had no where to release his pent up energies, this is what led to his behavior as he felt a spiritual pressure much like his own approaching, thinking maybe it may be someone he knew he looked up only to see a man smoking a cigarette walking down the side walk.
The man appeared older than him and a little over a foot taller, his hair was a muted grayish white coloring, almost bland, his dark eyes appeared dead, nothing shone from them, no glint to them. His attire was that of a Shinigami but with a red robe adored over the clothing, adding a certain flare you didn’t see from most reapers that weren’t high in ranks.
That itself confused Carter as he could sense the vast difference in power between them, not that it mattered to him, but as quickly as he noticed that he was hit with a torrent of mixed emotions the man couldn’t hide from someone like him. He couldn’t outright read the man’s thoughts, but he could sense a feeling of duty from him, a need to stay sharp, but also a darkness to him, as if he had lost something important and nothing mattered. He seemed to be a man close to the void.
Well, that simply will not do. He thought to himself quickly before walking past the man, closely while his thoughts appeared muddled and attempted to shoulder check him, upon that he would yell. “ Hey douche bag, watch where you’re walking or I’ll kick your ass!” Trying to make his child like face appear as serious as possible. The fun though was that this man would think nothing out of the norm with the small white haired boy in front of him, for Carter gave off no spirit pressure and was dressed in plain street clothes. He appeared to be nothing more than a rude teenager with a sword strapped to his back, which given the state of the world wasn’t so far out of the realm of possibility.
Take the bait man, give me a little break from my boring sight seeing and yourself one from whatever is haunting you. He thought while making sure he kept his golden eyes locked on the man in front of him.

The Shihoin Shadow
Yahiko Shihoin
His eyes slowly shifted towards the man who bumped into him. He adjusted his clothing giving his Cigarette a tap. Was he serious with this, this was an attempt to pick a fight. Yahiko's eyes scanned him up and down. Sizing him up before he tilted his head off to the side. Not wishing to fight among Quincy's home city. But also in order to do something else. He was perceptive about this and felt something off. The face and actions didn't line up. Nor did the feel he got from the guy. As he landed far enough away he stood still. "I get the sense you are doing this for more than just anyone's benefit." Yahiko had been around people a lot and gotten good at reading. This guy didn't feel right to him something felt off. But if he wanted to fight it was fine. Yahiko's right hand slowly became covered. His Shadow seeming to disappear beneath the engulfing shadow.
Almost like a glove, it was worn as he tried to gauge him. Something about this didn't feel right. Fighting here in their territory with some random stranger. He'd not release his Zanpakuto or powers. He couldn't do it in this situation as a guest. Yahiko was here as a member of Squad Three. So some consideration had to be taken here. Something had to come of it beforehand as he slowly guessed the next move. He felt his uncle's loss in his heart yet, but he had to put it aside. For now, this situation called for his focus. He'd not attack yet, he had tools within him to use. As a Shinigami, he had skills as his black eyes examined him further. Something about this felt amiss, elusive yet to him. Like this man was a book hiding its pages from the reader.
His surface felt off as Yahiko spoke calmly and levelheaded, anger didn't flood him. "Sorry, but can't use my Shikai without permission. So will have to be just my general skills." He said offering the man he guessed something. Though Yahiko didn't exactly care that much either. If it was to be a fight it didn't matter. But even if he ended up in the hospital he'd not be unveiling his Zanpakuto here.

Carter’s face didn’t change out of its mock rage expression as the man read him; he could tell the man was trying to see what the deal was, get an angle on him. His eyebrow did raise though as the man’s shadow slithered up his body and adorned him like a fine suit, covering his right hand.
That’s not something you see often. He thought to himself before unstrapping Nacuto and yelling across the way, “ All I know is your lazy ass walked into me and I’m going to teach you a lesson, I don’t care if you use your sharkia or not!” Even at the intended butchering of shikai he could feel his own zanpakuto giving him a cold shoulder. Sorry Nacuto, gotta look the part. He thought quietly before severing his connection with her, if this Shinigami wasn’t going to reveal his zanpakuto or use any power outside of his sealed power Carter would match him, besides his hand to hand skills were amongst his weakest and this was a good way for him to practice his self defense outside of sword play.
This is probably the best time to test my Celestial Crane Style! He thought with glee while maintaining the look of anger. Without saying another word he advanced forward, careful to not hit his true speed, careful to stay within the realm of a human. It would appear slow and sluggish to the Shinigami before him but Carter wasn’t just trying to fight for the hell of it, he was trying to pass time, trying to distract this forlorn character and he knew starting slow and building speed would force this man to focus on what the hell exactly was happening.
Once he closed the distance his golden eyes flashed to the hand covered in shadows, He has no intent to kill, I could test a hit on it to see what the hell that shadow covering does for him He thought rapidly. Planting his right foot forward he leaned to his right side, his arms bent at a 90 degree angle with hands shaped like cones, the tips of his fingers pointed toward the man in front of him. Using the momentum of moving forward and leaning to the side he rotated his hips so that his left hip would come forward while pushing off the ground with his left heel bringing his leg up level with the man’s right side temple, as this happened Carter’s own center of gravity changed with his upper torso and chest now descending to come to a 45 degree angle with the ground. The top of his left foot would propel toward the man’s head, slow enough that he could block it with his right hand so should he choose.
Let’s play ball! He thought, a glint of passion in his eyes.

The Shihoin Shadow
Yahiko Shihoin
Yahiko tried to discern the feeling better, his eyes scanning. He listened to the words it felt off still. He was suspicious of this man and his intentions. But it didn't seem he would have time to think. Fighting here with full power would do nothing but trouble. So using his Sealed power would have to be sufficient for him. The attack coming seemed to be a heel kick. This was strange as he observed the man closer. Why pick a fight so brazenly with someone? Something about it didn't fit as he suspected. Tenfold would do, for now, he needed to hold back. To further grasp this situation. It came down on his right side with enough time to block. Yahiko raised his left hand to block it. Sending his right to strike the calf and knee locations. With the power of ten blows into each strike. Hitting three times in rapid succession before ascertaining it further. Perhaps a Kido spell would be usable in this situation.
None lethal would mean Bakudo though which Yahiko was not considering using. His powers were such he wished to keep some tricks in the bag. The whole world didn't need to know his secrets. Using his strength he pushed back a bit with both arms. To send the man back his eyes still studying. It was as though he was a cat observing. Something that seemed predator more than Prey. This didn't add up to him at all. This place was peaceful and well managed under Cyrus and new leadership. Brawls didn't happen here, unless by design.
His eyes didn't shift but he doubted very much his Captain or the leadership did it. So this man had to of had another motive for this. The question was what would it be? Picking a fight with a random Shinigami. On a trip from the Gotei to see how an allies technology looked. Something about this thing seemed fishy to him. Yahiko was careful and studious it had kept him alive. And helped him learn about life and skills. The Shihouin didn't just fight for fighting's sake. He didn't at the very least as he gauged him. Something wasn't right though, he could tell.
It was like a nagging feeling in the back of his neck. Like something was there but he couldn't reach it. This man was more than met the eye. That was what became ever more present and clear.

Tsk, block me the boring way aye? He thought as his foot connected with the man's left hand and before the strikes of his right came to counter. Let's speed up a bit. The spark in his eye growing as he upped his own being a bit more than his first hit, coming now so that his next strike would land at the same time as the strike the man would give to his his knee she smirked and brought the palm of his right hand upward toward the man's left elbow that was currently blocking the first kick to his temple, at the same moment he would push more into the kick rather than retract and reset, if the blow to his elbow landed the man's arm would shoot up enough to allow his initial kick enough to score a blow to the head.
All the while this happened Carter accepted the blows to the knee and feigned a cripple so that the shots to his calf would miss. Damn, that smarts a little. He thought before pushing himself backward and standing straight, his hands out in front of him to block any incoming attacks on his separation that may come.After resetting he eyed his opponent and came back in, His shadow fist has some sort of stacking ability, I'm certain he only hit me once but it felt like damn near fifteen different blows landed at once. Now that I know that I'll be sure to take less of those, that's a nice way to chip at an opponents reserves rapidly.
Never taking his eye off his opponent he advanced back in rapidly, matching the speed at which the man had blocked him in the beginning now, his body would come up, his left shoulder pointing at the man he would bring his left hand in to chop down at the man's right wrist, his left palm pointed up toward the sky while the back of his right hand would come up to cover his face as he had left it exposed at these close quarters, in the same movement after chopping the man's right hand down he would extend his left arm upward, carrying his feet forward toward the man before twisting his wrist and attempting to bash his nose with the back of his wrist now.
"You'll learn to watch where you walk!" He yelled, faking anger once more all the while his eyes continued to study the man and see what his reaction and counter would be.

The Shihoin Shadow
Yahiko Shihoin
Yahiko's eyes widened as the man adjusted his speed. So he was right about that entirely. The guy was hiding something but it was too late. His bewilderment at the speed increase. It and his eyes caught him unprepared. As his hand was struck the man would feel it as though striking a Zanpakuto blade. That was what his shadow did after all as well. It was multiple layered tools. Yahiko's hand felt sore with the impact. The blow stung but so did the next move which came towards his face. Yahiko regained his composure here. His shadow jumped to his left hand only managing a single blow. He struck the left hand slightly below the wrist. This time going to a twentyfold on his blow.
Yahiko jumped backward as the blow still grazed his cheek. His eyes looking at the man now. The shock fading as he had been correct. This guy wasn't just hiding something. He was downright frightening in this regard. Yahiko's digits came down towards his pocket. He may need to take this more seriously. But he had to wait and see now. If the speed went up again he would have no choice in the matter. His right hand wasn't damaged. Mostly due to the shadow's protection. But it still hurt this man had power. More than he was showing off at this junction. Yahiko's brain went to work now. As he shifted his body now. Bringing his left arm in front of him and raising his right arm up akin to a spear. Though the Shadow remained connected to that hand.
The smoke-like coloring of it moving into the air as though the glove was alive. The question now became more clear what was the motivation. This guy was far from an angry passer-by. His skills were too clean and sharp. He was manipulating this fight like chess pieces. He wasn't sure what role he was on the board. But he knew the man before him most certainly held the cards. Yahiko had to smile a little bit now. His goal of challenging Captain Kuro seemed less far. Something about this man seemed familiar to a Captain's presence. A certain air about him and those who wore it.
This guy wasn't a random thug in a clean city. No, he was much more then Yahiko could discern and that made it exciting.

Got ya. He thought coolly. His golden eyes fixating on the man before him as the traces of dark feelings faded form his being. Whatever was haunting him and had him with such a dark cloud was now at bay as Carter had forced him to focus solely on the war in front of him. He could sense a feeling of excitement now and the man's eyes appeared more lit up than they were before. Okay, this speed is a nice plateau for now. It appeared to challenge him and keep him occupied enough that he could only focus on me. I'll make sure not to bring any attacks at him faster than this unless he is hiding something up his sleeve. He thought before rushing in, the moment he did the shadow of the man seemed to solidify and he took on the stance of one readying a spear. Screw it, let's dance the thought coupled with the stance change caused a momentary pause in his movements before he continued in making sure to match the mans speed and not over do it, for no he wouldnt push his limits.
Maintaining the fake anger on his face he would exhale and bring the palm of his left hand upward into the man's rib cage in an attempt to knock the wind from him before back pedaling and yelling at him, "That's the problem with all yalls, ya think you're so strong and ya's always lookin down on us lil fellas!" He said, throwing a horrible accent on as he attempted to taunt the man, his hands up gesturing for him to advance again. This man wasn't aware of it, but Carter needed this as well, he needed someone to practice his developing Celestial Crane style on and so far this man was proving to be a good tester, his own abilities a stark contrast to Carters.
I'm going to start pushing you from here on out. He thought, thinking that the man needed to be rewarded with experience for helping Carter unknowingly.

The Shihoin Shadow
Yahiko Shihoin
It happened as the man came around his shoulders and his eyes began to glimmer. Reiatsu began rotating and rapidly combusting around him. Howling blasts of air began surging. If he was going to fight this trickster, he may as well test it. Howling air like a scar flowed around his shoulders and laid across his body. The white air began pouring around him. Yahiko had begun to transform his Shunko into it's newer form. By focusing intensely on it as large currents of wind blew. Yahiko's eyes looked towards the man as his hair blasted around wildly. The wind around him surged as his clothing was blown away. A glowing white color seemed to flow downward. Blasting the air downwards into a frenzy. His arms became currents for massive amounts of air. As they seemed connected to the bag like a scarf. Containing intense degrees of wind as Yahiko inhaled. On his left arm, the howling gale blasted into the stranger. Hitting him with immense winds though it likely didn't stop him. Yahiko seemed almost to glide backward in the air for a moment. The wind used to move him as he came down on the stranger. With a powerful blow from his right hand, it sent a massive blast of air.
This had enough power to uproot some of the areas around him. Yahiko closed his eyes for a moment after. As he began containing it beginning to calm those winds down. Causing the scarf or bag-like object connected to his arms. To howl even louder almost screaming. Yahiko had broken part of his word as his shoulders showed. He'd completely forgotten his remorse now. He decided to come to this guy as he resumed his stance. He didn't fully dodge the blow he was grazed on his stomach. Feeling a cut almost against him now as he dove deep into Shunko. This form was taxing for him to maintain, but not adding his Zanpakuto to it. Made it much more simple as he knew control was important. Destruction of this territory would cause some headaches. So he brought both hands across them forming an X with both arms. Crossing the streams of the twisting vortex swimming across his arms from his back and shoulders. One could see the twisting wind energy as Yahiko knew he could go further.
But he couldn't control further than this, he could manipulate this yet. He could still hold and contain the wind in this form. Yahiko knew the power he was tampering with well. As it rotated around his shoulders and down his arms. Cloaking him on both sides in gusts of wind. Secrets were meant to be kept, but he would need to change his tactics. Change his outlook here and now. Especially if he planned to challenge Kuro as a Captain.

Perhaps I goaded him too much. He thought has he felt the uptick in energy from the man before him. His strike had landed just as he felt a nice concussive force of wind rocket around the area. He wasn't sure what this was, but he knew so far it wasn't giving him a zanpakuto feel and that was cause enough for him to go on the defensive now. Allowing the wind to blow him backward he flipped, to the untrained eye it looked like his small frame had been taken by the winds but at the height of his flip he released the internal caps on his speed and released five kido in rapid fire, the howling wind coupled with not being able to see his face at this angle would confuse the man when five barriers formed of energy materialized around the two of them, boxing them in and stopping the winds from destroying the surrounding area.
His golden eyes would scan his zanpakuto and he would chastise himself, in his haste to ensure the area remained unscathed he had brought the barrier up too close for his weapon to be inside it. With a slight shrug his tumble through the air would come to an end with him landing lightly on his feet, his golden eyes honed in on his target, his white hair snapping wildly in the wind, If you're going to up the stakes and force me to play defense for the people around us I won't be so easy. He thought while his eyes narrowed and his face of anger turned into that of a smile, looking at him one might imagine that of a predator now in the way his eyes set, the relaxed nature of his shoulders, his tensed calves, hands curled slightly as he stared down his opponent.
With not so much as a sound he dashed forward, his small frame cutting through the high powered winds as he released his limiters on his own speed and appeared before the man His hands would ball up with his fingers curling in and his palms flatting he would release a barrage of seven strikes to the man's abdomen, each strike slowed enough for the man to see now and counter. All the while Carter's eyes never broke off the man's own as he assaulted him, he wanted this man to know he crossed a line now. He had taken what was meant to be a fun fight and turned it into something potentially dangerous to civilians, "Soul Reapers should always be aware of their surroundings and the innocents that may be caught up in their wake should they release their power." He barked, scolding the man as he rushed in, cocking his head back and whipping it forward to headbutt the man in the bridge of his nose in an attempt to break it.
