Sitting at the back of the classroom in the seat closest to the window, Renji Abarai sat with a book open on his desk, he hated what the humans called school. It was just basically the same thing over and over every single day of the week except for Saturday and Sundays...according to Ichigo. The hot sun blazed through the large windows that didnt provide any blocking unlike the high trees that maybe gave just a bit of shade, but it wasnt enough for Renji, as he was practically sweating bullets in the corner.
He silently cursed as he placed his head down on the desk, this place was nothing like the Soul Society's Academy, there it was so much better! Or so Renji felt. He set his book down on the desk softly so that the teacher wouldnt notice, at the same time placing his left hand on his stomach, as he could feel it rumbling strongly, luckily no one could hear it...he couldnt wait until lunch!

Heels of standard-issue brown Maryjanes of Karakura High School clicked down the linoleum hallway, echoing off of the windows and lockers. Two icy blue eyes looked down at an opened flip-phone, screen showing a text message. The feminine hand holding the phone deftly flipped it shut before pocketing in her grey blazer jacket, continuing on while carrying her school briefcase over her shoulder, making sure to keep her reiatsu suppressed as to not cause any unnecessary influence. Let's see...I think this is the right class room coming up. Soi-Fong-taichou said to get into the class that the Shinigami Representative was in. If I remember, Abarai-fukutaichou was assigned to the same class. Byakko Shirogitsune closed her eyes for a moment, focusing. Sure enough, she could detect several significant reiatsu levels from one classroom, one blatantly oozing out, three others, apparently humans, and one that was clearly being suppressed, most likely Abarai-fukutaichou seeing as he would be the only one that would have any idea of how to do it. Shiro was honestly surprised at the amount of spiritual power that some of the other humans had, much more than any she had seen before, however insignificant they may be anyway.
It didn't take too long to reach the classroom. Remember your part Shiro...you're here to blend in with the humans and gather information for Soul Society. With that, she lifted her hand and rapped the door with the back of her knuckles. Inside, while Misato-sensei was acting like she was teaching, she looked up. "Come in!" With that, Shiro opened the door and walked in, briefcase no longer being held over her shoulder, but in her right hand by her side, not wanting to appear unapproachable. Misato-sensei spoke up. "Alright everybody, we have a new student!" She then muttered. "We seem to be getting a lot of those lately..." With that, she continued on normally. "Well, introduce yourself!" Wit that, Shiro turned to the class from the front, tucking a lock of her white hair behind her ear. "I'm Byakko Shirogitsune. Pleased to meet you." With that, Misato-sensei looked around for a moment. "Let's see...there's an empty seat in the back by Abarai. You can sit there. He's scary-looking, but he hasn't killed anyone yet!" With that, Shiro just grinned. "Alright." With that, she walked past the other students before sitting down. Hearing a telltale sound of hunger emit from Renji she grinned slightly and spoke soft enough to where no one else would hear it. "Don't worry, lunch is pretty soon, Abarai-fukutaichou."

This certain crimson haired Soul Reaper had been on the verge of dozing off into the dream realm, when he heard the teacher mention his name. He quickly sat up and picked up his book, as he thought she called on him to read something for the class...he could let out a deep sigh of simply relief as he noticed that she directed someone back in his direction..which is why she called him by last name. His eyes stared for a good second at the figure of the girl, before he trailed them higher to look at her face, he recognized her from somewhere, but he couldnt place it...
When she spoke to him, his right hand rushed back to his lowly-growling stomach as if he could silence it by just touching it, which obviously didnt work, he blushed lightly and looked over to her, kinda embarassed that his stomach was growling so loud and that she had heard it, he began to wonder if anyone else could hear it. " It's not coming soon enough...I think I may just pass out from starvation..." He told her, listening to how she adressed him, he then remembered where he saw her face...that hair of hers mostly, she was from the Soul Society...
He placed his book down and his head back down on the desk softly, but this time his face turned towards her direction in case she wanted to dwell further into conversation with him.

Shiro smirked at Renji's comment. "So you can handle Hollows but not hunger? Being from the 6th squad, I would think you'd be more serious like Kuchiki-taichou, but I guess you can't judge a Vice by their captain, ne?" Thank goodness. If there was someone with a personality like Kuchiki-taichou working with me, I'm find a high cliff...With that, Shiro opened her briefcase and pulled out a wrapped onigiri. According to intelligence reports, this teacher is quite lenient and a bit of an airhead, so this shouldn't cause Abarai any problems. "For the fukutaichou-sama." She then quickly tossed in onto Renji's desk, where it almost slid off. She was about to start paying attention to whatever nonsense this human was doing to look like she was doing her job when her cellphone rang. Fortunately, most of the humans in the class would be unable to hear it, save for just a few. Shiro pulled it out of her blazer, looking at the screen. Just a mile or two away a Hollow, or something of the sort, had shown up. Flipping it shut and putting it away, Shiro raised her hand. Misato-sensei then called on her. "What is is, Shiro-chan?" Shiro's eyebrow twitched at the '-chan' suffix, not having been called that since in the Academy. "Misato-sensei, when I was finding my locker, I guess I just put my stuff in there out of habit. May I be excused?" Misato looked annoyed, but complied. "Hai, hai, but only because it's your first day." Shiro made sure to act politely and bowed slightly. "Thank you very much!" She grinned over at Abarai and spoke lowly and in a joking tone. "I'll be enough since a Fukutaichou can't afford to miss his meals." With that, Shiro grabbed her bag and hurried out the door.
It only took a few moments to reach the rooftop, where Shiro then pulled out a Pez-type object out of her bag that had a chibi fox head attached to the top. Pressing down on the head, a green pill popped out right into Shiro's mouth and, just a moment later, the telltale sound of a Shinigami leaving their gigai was heard, revealing Shiro in her black 2nd Squad uniform, minus the head bandanna, revealing her white hair completely. She turned to gigai. "You know what to do." It saluted smartly. "Hai, Byakko-sama!" With that, it went back inside, leaving Shiro on the roof. Wondering if Abarai would have been goaded into action, Shiro waited a moment on the roof just in case.

Renji looked at her as he knew exactly what her phone ringing meant, either a mission...or a Hollow had appeared somewhere. He pulled out his own Pez-type, but his wasnt like hers with the chibi fox head, his had a snake with its tongue out instead. He quickly popped the pill into his mouth, glad the teacher didnt see him, looking down at the gigai, now operated by a mod soul. " Just act normal..." He told it, it saluted to him without words and picked up the book following in reading.
Renji manuvered his way out of the classroom, and raced to the roof, coming to stand behind Shiro. " How many? Is it just one?" He asked her, looking over her shoulder, only to see she didnt have her phone out anymore, he then moved to stand next to her, his left hand holding the sheathe of his zanpakuto, his thumb placed on the handle.

Before long, Shiro heard the sound of footsteps coming up the stairs, surely Abarai. She grinned underneath her Second Squad mask. Predictable... However, Shiro got back to business and answered Renji's question. "There's two Hollows, one ten blocks north and one eight blocks east, but over the river. They're a bit stronger than an average Hollow, so the local Shinigami assigned here probably can't handle it." She then grinned, though Renji wouldn't be able to tell visually due to the mask. "After all, we can't push everything on Kurosaki, right?" Before that though, Shiro realized that Renji probably didn't know her name. Seeing as she wasn't brought up formally, she just promptly introduced herself. "Byakko Shirogitsune, 2nd Squad, Fourth Seat." With that, she looked north. "I'll take the one up north..." She then added a smug tone to her voice. "...unless you want that one Abarai-fukutaichou. Judging by the readings, it's more of a speed-type and probably faster while the one east isn't so much, but it has a bit more reiatsu. You're choice, seeing as your commanding officer." She then crossed her arms behind her head. "So, Abarai, you want to make this into a competition? First one back owes the other a favor to be cashed in at any time." Shirogitsune grinned under her mask. Soi Fong-taichou made sure that the 2nd squad was nothing if not swift of foot to better gather intelligence.

Renji nodded during her introduction, not giving her one back as she knew who he was and what rank he was already...so there was no need to say it again. " I don't care which one I get...me and Zabimaru been itchin' to fight for a while now...but I'll take the one towards the East, don't want to have to spen so much time fighting..." He told her, running his hand through his crimson hair. He then nodded again. " Yeah...and I agree to your bet...but the details will come later." With that, he jumped off the building, heading out towards the East.

Shiro grinned under her mask as Renji accepted the bet, watching for a moment as Renji dashed off to the east. With that, she grabbed the hilt of her Zanpakutou behind her back, as if being reassuring, not that it was really needed. Don't worry Hikari...you'll get to come out soon enough. With that, Shiro began to use Shuunpo to head North, hopping across the tops of the buildings.
Not too long later, she reached the ninth block, skidding to a stop before looking around for the Hollow. Come on...where are you hiding? In the next moment though, Shiro got her answer as a roar came off of the top of a tall apartment complex. It had a shape similar to a large panther, its legs and flanks comprised of black flesh, but it's face, spine, and wicked-looking tail, ending in a series of barbs, were comprised of a hard white substance, akin to a Hollow mask. It's green eyes looked forward hungrily from within its mask right before it suddenly leapt off of the building toward Shiro. With that, she prepared to meet it in mid-air, drawing her sword in the process. "Shine on! Hikari!" With that, he turned from his sealed form into Shikai in a burst of flame before resuming a normal blade shape, the golden stripe gleaming with eagerness.
As the two met in midair, the Hollow panther had enough momentum to push Shiro back toward the building she had jumped off of, catching Hikari in it's feline teeth. As it began to try to thrash about in an attempt to throw Shiro off, she let out a cry. "Ignite, Hikari!" With that, Hikari was suddenly covered in crackling flames, causing the Hollow to let go and let out a roar, it's teeth and face burnt. Taking the opening, Shiro charged and lept up, prepared to slice clean through it's mask. However, just as Hikari was about to do just that, the Hollow vanished from sight. Surprised, Shiro only had a moment to decide what to do next when she suddenly heard a swishing noise behind her. Reacting on instinct, Shiro turned around and used her arm to brace the flaming Hikari, which was suddenly locked with the barbs on the end of the tail. As the Hollow attempted to take the opportunity to whirl back with it's teeth, Shiro extended her legs, split-wise, one foot against the top set of teeth, the other holding the bottom jaw. Fortunately, the forse of the hit was enough to knock Hikari loose from the tail. Grinning, Shiro pointed Hikari at the now open mouth. "Fire, Hikari!" With that, several shots of fire went down the Hollows throat, causing it to rear back in agony. As Shiro landed on the ground after falling from her position, she landed on the balls of her feet before leaping up. Letting out a cry, she sliced right through the mask, purifying the Hollow, letting it pass on to Soul Society as it dissolved.
With that, Shiro sheathed Hikari as he returned to normal. Not bothering to check her phone to see if Renji was done or not, Shiro was about to head back, she saw a small boy with a chain coming out of his chests peek out from behind a billboard, shaking. Sighing, she walked over to him. "I-is it gone?" Shiro nodded. "Yeah. I took care of him. And now I'll take care of you." Misunderstanding, the child began to back away before it was suddenly hit on the forehead by Hikari's pommel. "You're going to Soul Society...it's an alright place. Just stay as far away from Zaraki as you can." With that, the boy disappeared, a Hell Butterfly taking his place as Shiro began to use Shuunpo back to the school roof, hoping she was there before Renji.

[ooc: I'm not so good at narrarating battle like this but ill try]
Renji raced East through the blocks ducking and dodging through the pedestrians that walked with their breifcases, as well as the bikers, grunting all the way through the crowd. His zanpakuto's sheathe clutched tightly in his hand as he ran faster to get to his destination before this Hollow could cause more damage. Once he reached his destination, he sighed as he looked at the Hollow he was facing.
This one was a BRUTE Hollow, one LARGE hollow, but he could take it definitly, as he had a long time ago when he was younger, but now...he was more experienced so he wouldnt need help to do it. He pulled Zabimaru from his sheathe and without thinking he attacked!
The battle now over, Renji having purified the hollow and all, he made his way back, his robes were torn and he was bloody, but nothing too serious, a bunch of gashes here and there along his exposed torso. His tattooed body now almost completly covered in his blood. He took his time going back to the rooftop of the High School...he didnt care that he hadnt won the bet, he just hoped she wouldnt choose anything drastic...maybe sex, that'd be awesome. " So...you win!" He said as he came behind her, collapsing to his knees, breathing hard.

When Shiro reached the rooftop, she was surprised to see that Renji wasn't there yet. A short while later, she heard someone approaching and looked up, shocked to see the state that Renji was in. "So...you win!" Shiro's eyebrow twitched as Renji collapsed before she spoke up again. "Look at yourself! And you call yourself a Fukutaichou? God, you must be having a hard day or something...it didn't register as something that you wouldn't have been able to handle on the radar." With that, Shiro knelt down, taking her mask off for the moment, hoping some Shinigami wouldn't come along and tell her off for being out of uniform. "I'm not good at healing at all...you know that if you go back in your gigai, the wounds will transfer over, right?" With that, Shiro too one end of the mask in her hand, the other in her teeth as she ripped it into several long shreds. She sighed. "Well, at least now you have to deal with me being able to make any single request from you, no matter how unreasonable it may be." With that, she tied the strips of cloth around Renji's torso, stemming the bleeding to some degree right as the dismissal bell for lunch rang.
With that said, Shiro stood up. "Now if you excuse me, I'm going to head back to my gigai and-" With that, Shiro stopped mid-sentence, having just spotted her gigai and what it was doing down in the school yard. "N-n-nani?" At the moment, 'she' was currently in the middle of a small gathering, which didn't seem too friendly. She couldn't tell what they were saying, but in a moment one of them decided to charge at her gigai. Not wanting it to get damaged, which would cause for a pricey repair or replacement, Shiro began to head toward the situation, not in too much of a hurry. However, she then saw her gigai smile in an overly-cute manner before getting behind the student and bringing him to the ground. "And bweeaaaakky goes your arm!" Alarmed, Shiro quickly ran into her gigai, knocking out the Gikongan before it really did break his arm, cursing whoever in 2nd squad thought it would be a good joke to switch out the Gikongan she had chosed with a Chappy Pyon. With that, she jumped off the boy, leaving him squirming before jumping over the crowd, backing up. It wouldn't be any problem, but she didn't want to draw too much attention, seeing as it may potentially ruin her mission.

Renji tensed when she helped his wounds, it stung but if it was to help him he'd let her do it to him, she had his silent thanks. " I can't fight on an empty stomach, can't concentrate on the fight..." He told her, noticing her jump from the roof to run down to where there were a crowd of people chanting the words 'FIGHT'. He looked around for crimson red hair that would signify his own gigai, not seeing it around...he sighed as he was glad he wasnt around and probably eating with the usual gang...such as Orihime, Ichigo, Chad...ect.
He grunted as he moved from his position on the roof slowly as a bit of his blood dripped from his body. He had to find some help...maybe find Hanataro, or go to Urahara's shop...God this was bad...

Shiro began to grow nervous as somehow the crowd sucessfully circled around once more, seemingly unfazed by the fact that she had just jumped over their heads. As they began their crazed chant, Shiro just narrowed her eyes as four upperclassmen emerged from the crowd, grinning as they approached from different sides.
Darn it...what should I do? I could easily take them all, but that might be self-defeating...I don't want to exactly have to deal with all the attention. I also don't want to necessarily just let them beat me up. That would mean buying a new gigai, and that's something I don't want to do. I guess that leaves me only one option...[/color] With that, as one of the students charged from ahead, Shiro ran forward before leaping, over the sluggish punch, landing on the top of his head before jumping again, landing in the middle of the crowd before running off. ...An honorable retreat![/color] With that, Shiro booked it back into the building, running up the stairs as she heard other footsteps echoing behind her, getting closer as she reached the door to the roof that she had just left from, cursing the fact that the quacks in the Development Bureau made gigais with similar limitations as a human body. She saw Renji as he appeared to be having some difficulty and ran past him. "Well, are you just going to stand around there Fukutaichou?" Just then, the door banged open once more as the same crowd as before began pouring out, rushing at her. Realizing that there was nowhere else to run, and that simply jumping off the high roof and running off would definitely draw unwanted attention, Shiro turned to the crowd. "What a day this is turning out to be...trust me, you don't want to do this. Someone is going to get hurt." One of the punks spoke up, a particularly dumb looking underclassman at that. "You sound awfully sure of yourself, Shiro-chan." Shiro's eyebrow twitched before she growled in response, extremely annoyed. "Who are you calling 'chan', eh? It's Byakko-sempai to you!" With that, Shiro suddenly charged and delivered a flying kick to the unfortunate soul's chin, knocking him back to the ground, sufficiently knocking him out. Seeing this, most of the crowd backed away, slightly scared. Two stepped out of the group, enraged. "Why did you do that to him?!" Shiro responded as if she had no idea why they were upset. "It's only logical...he was asking for it, and if I recall I'm the one being hunted down here." As the two charged, Shiro sighed before flying forward, delivering a smacking blow to the chin of one before flipping herself up on his shoulders to launch herself at the other, delivering a roundhouse kick to his gut, knocking him down. As the two moaned in pain, Shiro looked at the rest of the crowd. "Now please, go away. I don't want to cause any more trouble..."

Renji slowly brought himself to a stand, he wasnt paying any attention to the issue that was happening to Shiro, he moved to jump from the roof to the ground with great pain and difficulty, he turned to look back up at her. " I'm going to Urahara's shop...need to get fixed up!" He called up to her, he sheathed Zabimaru, and began to walk as fast as he could with these wounds towards the Urahara shop, where he knew it was certain that he could get some help for the wounds that were inflicted upon his body.
The wounds hurt constantly, throbbing painfully with almost every step that Renji took. He groaned constantly as he continued to limp quickly through the streets until he found his way through the streets to the little old shop that belonged to the famed Kisuke Urahara..

Shiro began to get her hopes up when the crowd began to back away...perhaps she'd get out of this without much trouble after all. As Renji went off to the Urahara Shoten, Shiro spared him a single glance, knowing that though his injuries were significant, his reiatsu would support him until he could get help.
However, it seemed that this single glance would cost her more than she thought it would have as she heard sudden movement, spinning around to see the source of the sound. Several things happened at once, as well as several thoughts that went through her head. One, she saw a boy grinning impishly. Two, and more importantly, there was a large metal bar flying in her direction...humans called it a crowbar if she remembered correctly. Three, she was perfectly capable of dodging it, despite the fact that it was already quite close. Four...doing so would be nigh-superhuman, and her cover would be blown. Five...d**n it...this is going to hurt, but there's no way I'm going to break orders.[/color] With that, the crowbar hit Shiro upside the head, causing her to fall backward and smack her head upon the concrete floor. As her gigai began to seep artificial blood upon the pavement, Shiro vaguely registered the sound of several voices breaking up the crowd, and before the concerned face that was swimming into view could be fully discerned, Shiro blacked out.

The figure that had broken through the crowd had been Renji's gigai with the modsoul still inside. Slowly he came through to pick up Shiro's gigai in his hands. He picked her up bridal style and quickly left the roof top. " Dont worry, I gotcha...I'll get you to Urahara Shoten and help you out." He told her, as he raced through the luckily empty hallways of the school, he was glad it was lunch time, as he didnt want to answer any unnecessary questions about what had happened. Once out of the school he raced off to the Urahara Shoten.
Once reaching his destination, he opened the door and laid her down in a secure spot where she would be ok for the time being. As the door opened, Renji's spirit form showed itself, his zanpakuto in hand, but his torso heavily bandaged, the only thing was that he was completly NAKED!
