The execution was flawless. A small silver tube, roughly the size of a double 'A' battery, arced through the air. It was encased in spiritual energy, the reishi shaped like an arrow head. Behind it, the arrow shaft and tail trailed with glory. "Tilt the goblet to the west - Wolke!" The moment the arrow made impact with the tree it had been aimed for, the ginto tube exploded in a massive blast of reiatsu, flattening the tree and leveling a circle around it. Because his reiatsu had a fiery element to it, the explosion contained a touch of fire. The grass around it that hadn't been flattened was burned to a crisp. The tree itself had received some pretty prominant burn scars. It was a clear radius of 10 feet. Pure destruction.

But it wasn't enough for Grimm. Relaxing his arm, he spun the bow around him so he was holding it behind his body like a bow staff. Perfectly vertical, it was only inches shorter then him. He needed more. He couldn't do anything without his bow. His ginto was good, but it wasn't amazing. Not on it's own. There's no way it would eliminate threats on it's own. Sure, he still had seele shneiders, but again, what if he were disarmed? Or what if he ran out? What he needed was a ginto technique that didn't rely on range. Close combat ginto that wasn't a major threat to him when used.

He had heard stories from shinigami about a legendary technique called "Shunko". It used their signature kido energy to amplify their physical prowess. Apparently, it was also capable of outright cancelling out other kido just by applying the same amount of force. As he contemplated this, Grimm flipped a ginto tube between his fingers rapidly. What if... what if he learned to do the same thing with his ginto? Perhaps he could develop a spell that would, when activated, force ginto energy through his body. It was highly impractical for a quincy, but there was very few things about Grimm that was practical for a quincy. Yes. That's what he needed.

But how to achieve it? He would need to watch kido energy in action. How it was converted from regular reishi, how it was channeled, and how it was used. It didn't matter how. Any kido would work. All he needed was to see. After that, Grimm would simply emulate it using his ginto tubes. Okay, so it wouldn't be that easy. It would take some trial and error, but he was sure he could do it. But where would he find a shinigami to assist him in such a thing? Shinigami weren't too fond of quincy (granted, their attitude had improved the last couple of years, but still).

"I guess the only thing to do would be alert them of my presence." Looking around him as he spoke softly, Grimm's yellow eyes studied the trees. Mainly pine, he had chosen this small clearing to practice because it was out of the way of innocent lives. He would not harm anyone today, unless they truly deserved it. Dismissing his bow, his ring shimmered orange for a moment before returning to normal. Walking towards the largest tree he could find, Grimm's black moccosin's crushed dried grass with every step. The blast he had just caused seemed to have evaporated a healthy amount of moisture from everything in the immediate area. Interesting.

Stopping once he reached the largest tree around him, Grimm reached up, grasped a tree, and began to climb. Stopping himself once he reached a height equalling roughly himself twice, he let go of the branch and stepped to the side. Concentrating spiritual particles under his feet, flaming platforms appeared. Shaking his head and smiling at his own foolishness, he simply walked straight up in the air until he reached the top of the tree. Stepping onto it, he balanced himself carefully.

Forming his bow once more, Grimm pointed it straight up into the air. Pulling his string back as slowly as he could, reishi particles began to zoom towards the middle of the bow. The more spirit particles that he called, the brighter the area got. And that was saying something, considering it was nearly noon. More and more spiritual particles gathered, their image resembling embers or sparks convering towards a single point. As he pulled, an incredibly dense arrow formed. It was practically solid. Grunting at the weight of the draw, Grimm gave one final tug. There. The arrow was complete. And what a fantastic sight. Completely on fire, the flaming arrow crackled with a hatred and malice that almost scared Grimm.

Shooting it straight up into the air, the collected spirit particles of a 30 foot arrow shot with amazing speed. Unfortunately, it was just too unstable for Grimm to handle. But that was perfect. It was exactly what he wanted. As it exploded, fire rained down from the contact point. Thankfully, it dispersed in the air, doing no damage to the forest below. Nevertheless, Grimm hoped it would do exactly as he intended it to do. Draw a shinigami to him. The blast simply radiated reiatsu, and would surely be a beacon for those hell-bent on protecting the world.

Sliding down the tree, Grimm landed heartily on his feet. Plucking some needles from his shirt and pants, he noticed his bow was slowly starting to deform. Dismissing it entirely, he waited for the area to go back to normal. Perhaps he concentrated too much reishi from the area. Laughing, he took a seat beneath the tree, in the nice shade outside of the sun, and waited.

What a sight. he had never seen anything like it before.
Raiden looked from a far at this display of power.
It seemed to him that someone was trying to get some attention.
But the wrong creatures might awnser that calling. And for that reason Raiden decided to awnser the calling. He stood up from the rock he was sitting on. He started walking and decided to let the unknown know he was advancing. So he let his signature summer breeze go. Indicating he was comfortable in the beautiful forrest. The breeze gnetly moved leaves all around him. Carrying his reiatsu the warm summer breeze reached the one wanting attention most likely.
Raiden was curious who and what this human was. He felt his reiatsu but only vagualy recognised its structure. He couldnt quight grasp what it was.
Raiden cleared the forrest and he walked onto a small open place. And saw the human sitting underneath a giant tree.
Raiden chose not to speak directly to him and waited for the human to do so. It seemed however that he didnt notice him.
Raiden looked right at the human and Pulsed his reiatsu once.
This had to get the humans attention.

Shinobu nearly tripped over Captain Raiden as Raiden had stopped suddenly; he quickly gathered his composure and looked over captain Raiden's shoulder to see a single human sitting beneath a giant tree. So... is this the human who did that earlier? But what are his intentions?

Shinobu stepped beside his captain and pointed to the human.

"Captain, don't go near him until he states his intentions.. I don't trust him."

That arrow had taken a bit more out of him then he thought it would have. True, it wasn't enough to impair him in battle, but it was enough to cause him to breathe a bit harder. As he waited for a reaction, his eyes slowly began to close. The fatigue was certainly surprising. In fact, it was enough to dull his senses. He didn't even notice the captain, nor his companion, approach. And that was something surprising on it's own. He was hoping for a patrol shinigami to approach him. A captain and (quite possibly) his lieutenent was something else altogether.

But the moment the captain flared his reiatsu, Grimm was on his feet. Yellow eyes wide open, his bow fully formed, and his hand already positioned to draw an arrow. Upon studying them over, he relaxed slightly. They appeared to be shinigami. Drawing in reishi from the atmosphere (which had fully reimbursed itself from Grimm's arrow with a healthy addition thanks to the captain's reiatsu flare), he concluded that they were indeed shinigami.

"Greetings to you both. My name is Grimm. I'm a quincy living here in Karakura Town. The flare that drew you here..." Because honestly, what other reason would they have for being here? "Was shot by me. I am looking for a teacher of sorts. I've heard about your Kido skills and was wondering if I could study them." Straight to the point so there would be no wasting time, Grimm smiled at the two. Lowering his bow, it fractured into countless reishi particles before disappearing entirely. No harm here.

So what do you say, guys? Care to help me out?" Chuckling slightly, Grimm leaned back against the tree. The cool bark felt nice against his body, which was still very hot from his over-exertion earlier. Drawing in reishi slowly to help bring him back to full health, it simply looked as if tiny sparks were being absorbed by Grimm's body. Every moment of these particles forcing their way into his system brought more color to Grimm's paled flesh. In just three minutes he was back to normal. Still smiling, he waited for an answer patiently.

Raiden smiled first off i will introduce myself. i am Captain commander of the gotei 13 Shokakku Raiden. his breeze blew again. I am also sorry for awaking you so creudly but i wanted to see your reaction. He smiled again. Are you sure though you want our help. you just met us around a minute ago and you ask for help Raiden smiled and started walking towards the human dispite his lieutenants warnings. You will have to give me a reasong to show you what you want Raiden was now about 5 meters away from he human. he smiled. all his wrods were kind as he always had tried to have them sound

Shinobu shrugged his shoulders, this quincy seemed friendly enough and he was even askingfor help, he lowered his guard some but watched for any signs of movement in the forest. There was nothing, so Shinobu relaxed a bit more.. he was with his captain however and had not much to worry about.

So that's it, if we were to help you with this, what are your intentions with it? I know that shinigami and quincy arent too fond of each other.. but you seem pretty honest in your doings.

Shinobu turned to his captain, Raiden seemed to be thinking seriously about helping this quincy, so Shinobu thought it would be fine.

So long as my captain is okay with it, i will be okay with it also.

Grimm had first studied the captain commander. That was a pretty big title. If his research was correct, it meant that he commanded the Gotei 13, soul soceity's special guard of highly-trained shinigami. Basically, it meant he was one of the most powerful shinigami in the world. Eyes widening upon realizing this fact, Grimm's smile grew larger. If he decided to help, there wasn't much he wouldn't be able to accomplish!

Eyes the color of sulfur slid off of the captain and onto his lieutenent. He hadn't introduced himself. Oh well. He probably wasn't too fond of Quincy. The fall-out between them was tragic but unavoidable. "Yes. I am positive I want your help. You are shinigami, are you not? As Captain Commander, it is your sworn duty to keep guard over the balance of souls, as well as eliminate Hollow and other threat from the human world." Licking his lips, Grimm swallowed. "That is my goal as well. I wish to protect innocent lives. Everything I learn will go towards a ginto spell I am attempting to create."

Taking a deep breath, the smell of flowers and sunshine filled his nostrils. It was as if summer personified were standing before him. So Grimm wasn't the only one with a personalized reiatsu. Unlike the nice, pleasant reiatsu that Raiden possessed, Grimm's was absolutely fire. Flaring his reiatsu just slightly to mingle with the summer breeze, a smell akin to burning flowers filled the air. "I apologize. Although I am merciful and forgiving, my fire is not. Nevertheless, I am a careful fighter. I have surpassed many obstacles in my few years, and am sure this will simply be another step on the stairway to heaven."Pushing himself off of the tree, Grimm took a few steps forward.

"And just how would you like for me to do that, Captain Raiden?" Grinning, the quincy brought his hands together beneath his waist. Fingering the ring that opened the door to his quincy power, it nearly buzzed with excitement. Allowing his fiery reiatsu to die down, the shinigami's energy filled the air once more. Even in it's ambient state, it was powerful enough to ruffle the black feathers that Grimm wore on his left shoulder. Perhaps this would get fun.

Let me introduce my lieutenant his name is Shinobu Eishima. As he said this he looked over and saw him looking over into the trees and he thought to himself. Always watchfull He smiled and looked back at the human. You strive for power to protect others. That is a noble cause. But what has you so sure i am not an enemy. After all quincy and Shinigami havent been real nice to eachother recent years Raiden was testing this young human in his own way. He had a strong heart. But seemed to sure of himself. What concerned Raiden was his reiatsu. Smell of fire. heat as if a whole forrest was ablaze. He could prove to be a formidable fighter. You see. i am limited in my abilties now. He spoke to see how the human would react he continued For id level the forest id if do Raiden smiled. And looked what his lieutenant was up to

Shinobu bowed politely as his captain introduced him, he would not introduce himself over his captain.. it would be impolite; as always, his captain knew this and elogently introduced his luitenant. That gave Shinobu much pride in the man he followed and guarded with his life.
he too smelled the fire in the quincy's rietsu, not all that much a common thing in rietsu, but definetly a formiddable one. Shinobu had not yet released his rietsu, so his smell was hidden except when people were right up next to him; he figured the captain was used to the smell of metal by now.. andShinobu himself had gotten accustomto it a long time ago.
My captain speaks the truth, you could so easily consider us enemies as we could you; just by our inherit nature and history.
Shinobu reached into the sidepack he always carried and pulled out a tightly wrapped package, both his captain and the qunicy's eyes were on him. Shinobu produced a large round brown object and held it up.
On another note.. melonbread.. Captain? You may have some too, quincy.

A senkimon opens behind the captain commander and out steps captain tazuma koshi of squad ten. My captains hoari long sleeveless with a red lining blows gently in the wind. I apprich the captain commander and address him" my captain I came as soon as I receives word of your departure. " I look at the human before us and speak" greetings I am captain of squad ten Tazuma Koshi." My zanpacto is sheathed over my back with the hilt by my right shoulder. The smell of cherry blossoms fills the air around us.
