Knowing when to Back down[Ruko, then Open/No kill]

now i'm standing on the rooftop, READY TO

Her black boots made almost no sound with each step she took, as her clothing made her look almost invisible in the shadows. It was like she was a darker shadow amongst shadows, except for her hair and face, which struck out like a lighthouse beacon. Her frost-blue eyes kept a good look-out for any other hollows activity. But she did not notice the man sitting on the park until she passed him and he spoke. She didn't even realize he was there, either she had missed him completely or just taken him to be a normal human. Humans tended to be homeless, like some people in the Rukongai. Perhaps this was one of them. What were they called again? Hobo? Yeah, a hobo.

That thought, however, soon changed as she keenly studied the man, turning around to face him. His tone and appearance sickened her, like some kind of sexually driven beast. The way he slouched, the way he spoke, the way his emotions were lazily expressed on his face. All of it screamed scoundrel. "And who might you be?" She asked, her voice betraying nothing as she looked him up and down in the way a person might check his/her opponent, checking for weaknesses or flaws. She narrowed her eyes dangerously as her jaw set, when he made the comment about a private encore show. She finally recognized the characteristics of his reiatsu as belonging to a Togabito. She had never seen a Togabito before, only vaguely having studied them for ways to identify them. But still, something was off about this man... Something she couldn't point her finger at. And here was one of them right infront of her. Somehow, she expected something more demonic or hollow in nature. A sick freak like this was even worse than that, it seemed.

"Why don't you go fuck yourself?" She said coolly, taking up a casual defensive posture against the man standing infront of her. She could tell he was stronger than her, although she had never met an opponent yet that she couldn't beat. She kept her gunblade down, although this casual stance allowed her to raise it as fast as she could should the need arise. She stared him down, her face a mask of indifference as her piercing blue eyes studied him unwaveringly, seemingly glowing in the low light. There was two parklights in the area, one that was right above her and one that was right above Ruko, giving off the impression that they were on a stage, with the spotlights trained on them. Her hairtips kept moving in the wind, along with the hem of her coat, although her body was completely still in it's stance. She resisted the desire to raise her eyebrow at how Ruko was standing, like he didn't have a care in the world, in front of someone he very well knew could kill him. And Daniella wouldn't hesitate in killing him, make no mistake.

The breeze that was wafting through the air now stopped, and suddenly, everything became painfully silent. There were no birds chirping, no leaves rustling, not even crickets or cicadas were making their signature sounds. Daniella was relaxed, as being tense tended to lower your reaction time. She continued to focus on the man, trying to figure out what he was, while she also calculated all the different paths she could take in this decision. Her pride, however, cut off most of the decisions and she was left with the only decision of fighting him. She never backed down from any one before, and so, she kept her eyes on him without the slightest indication of fear.

"Tell you what." She said, as she slowly raised her gunblade to aim at him. Her lips curled into a slight smirk as her arm stopped at shoulder level, her gunblade pointing directly at where Ruko's heart would be. "You be a good boy and let me paint the park with your brains, and I'll give you your private show." She said, a hint of disgust and contempt in her voice. Her eyes narrowed fractionally as she mentioned the word 'private', before becoming normal again. Her reiatsu also flared, electric blue it color, as she kept the gunblade pointed at Ruko, her free hand resting on the hilt of her zanpakutou. For some reason, this man sickened her. She hated womanizers and whores, but this man just felt wrong in the world. There existed things such as Love at first sight. Well, this was hate at first sight. Off the bat, she knew this man was a sick bastard, and she longed to see the look on his face before she snuffed the life out of him, like a candle blown out. She didn't even think he was that good-looking. His posture, his lazy facial expression, his way of speaking, once again, made her think that he was the kind of person most people detested. She wouldn't be surprised if he actually stalked and raped people.

Her blue eyes stared at Ruko, feeling more and more sickened by the moment. As Ruko's position shifted, the light allowed her to see more of Ruko's body. Daniella wished she hadn't, as her eyes widened fractionally.
"What the fuck?" She muttered to herself, studying Ruko with disgust and revulsion. The man, or atleast, what she thought was a man was actually something not entirely a man. Her grip on her gunblade tightened, her fingers making the noise of friction as it gripped on the handle harder, the blade shifting in it's position just slightly. The breeze that had stopped started up again, this time a bit stronger to give a soothing coolness, causing Daniella's pink hair to move in the wind's direction, along with the hem of her coat. Her zanpakutou pulsed against her, warning her in a way, as she nodded, more to the zanpakutou than to the man standing infront of her. The man's reiatsu was much, much stronger than her, and she released the Limiter that was usually placed on Vice Captains and Captains who travelled to this world. The tattoo of her squad glowed white on her collar bone for a few seconds before fading away, allowing her reiatsu to flare to its full glory. Even then, it couldn't match his reiatsu. Daniella was wondering what she ahd gotten herself into, hoping that this man wasn't actually as strong as he seemed. Daniella had beaten her fair share of tough opponents. Sure, they were stronger than she was, but with tactics and skill, she had come out on top every time.

"You're a sick bastard, aren't you?" She said, venom coating her every syllable, as she shifted her gunblade to her left hand and drew her zanpakutou in one fluid, quick motion. She took up a better stance, her large black coat being shed off of her form for better mobility, revealing her black T-shirt and pants to greater extent. Her arms were half-sleeved, and there was leather reinforcements under her shirt. holding the zanpakutou infront of her with her right hand. She turned around so her right side was facing Ruko, her left hand going up behind her back, her legs adjusting and coming together with almost no space in between them. This was a standard fencing stance, as she was facing Ruko with her side, therefore giving Ruko the smallest target she could. "Scum like you don't deserve to exist in this world. They deserve to rot in hell." She said scathingly, her zanpakutou pointing upwards as she kept her hand level with her waist, the elbow bent just slightly.

As the boy/girl uttered his approval of her killing him, she didn't respond. Something wasn't right. The way this man was acting so confident and cocky. No matter, she tensed before she disappeared, reappearing directly infront of Ruko. He shunpo was fast and silent, without even the slightest warning that she was about to do it until she had already done it.
"En Garde!" she shouted as she thrust her zanpakutou at Ruko, the blade whistling through the air as her arm kept coming back and shooting out again and again, thrusting at him three times in total within a very small timespan. She aimed for three parts of his chest, namely his heart and both of his shoulders, before she jumped back, her pink hair flying forward as she flew backwards, going atleast 10 ft high and 20 ft far. She turned in mid air slightly, so her left side faced Ruko, her left hand coming up to fire 4 quick shots at Ruko before she landed, the gunblade lighting up the area with each shot that caused a small explosion at it's end. Her right hand went down to her waistlevel, the blade kept in the opposite direction to help her keep balance, her legs moving accordingly to land without trouble. A soon as she did land, she instantly switched back to her stance and dashed 2 ft backwards as a precaution, incase Ruko tried to attack her just as she did land. Her boots crunched on the grass as she landed, steadying herself while maintaining her stance, her eyes locked onto Ruko. This was a test attack, to see how Ruko fought. To see how skilled this man/woman actually was. Hopefully, the skill difference between them wouldn't be too great.

No sooner had her foot touched the ground to land did she hear his voice, making the hair on the back of her neck stand up. She had already begun turning as well as moving away at the same time as soon as she felt his presence behind her. She didn't get fatally hit as Ruko had planned, but the scythe cut it's path down the length of her left arm, from shoulder to elbow. She jumped away from him, keeping her eyes one him to know if he was going to do the same trick again. She landed, blood dripping down her arm and onto the ground. Her eyes narrowed, teeth clenched as she let out a forced breath of pain. "Bastard." She muttered, unable to keep her left arm bent up like before anymore. She sheathed her gunblade, wincing in pain before she allowed her arm to fall to her side, not moving it much. Her left arm was already stained crimson, as blood was coming out at a fast rate.

She raised her blade up slightly, returning it to the position of her stance as her reaitsu flared. She then said, "With Radiance and Speed, Epee Prisme."

Her sword suddenly began glowing brightly for a few seconds before dimming to what seemed like a blade made purely of crystal. Colors shifted and refracted inside the blade, making it's base color almost impossible to tell. She raised her sword, before flash stepping forward again. She appeared to his left, striking at his neck and then immediately appearing on his right, attacking his face. She flashstepped again, appearing infront of him. She struck at him 8 more times, each strike getting faster than the last. Each strike was aimed at his chest, with a fraction of a second gap between the thrusts, her blue eyes flashing dangerously at Ruko.

Whether she had managed to hit him or not, she pulled back, jumping backwards. This time, however, she flashstepped to the right as soon as she landed, slashing horizonatlly around herself as soon as she appeared to make sure Ruko wasn't there. She then took up her stance again, keeping Ruko towards her front as she took big breaths to make up for the rapid movements, her right arm slightly sore, her left arm coated in crimson. The wind provided a cool, soothing feeling to her injury, but not being able to use her left arm at 100% was going to be a pain.

She made a small smirk of contempt at the compliment and made a small movement with her head, which was something inbetween a nod and a tilt of her head. "It'll look even better when it's protruding out of your chest."

When she landed and had slashed around herself, she looked to see that he was already gone, coming in from ontop of her. "Shi-" She cursed, instantly raising her sword above her and taking a step back. That step back was crucial as she scythe came down, the outside of the scythe clashing against her blade. The force fo it literally sent her skidding back, her feet creating a path of upturned dirt and destroyed grass as she went back for almost 20 ft. Her hair flying and her teeth clenched, she stopped after she hit a tree, her back arching from the impact as all the air inside of her was pushed out.

She turned forward, coughing as she kept her right hand and her sword steady infront of her, her left hand leaving a trail of blood wherever it went. She straightened up again, looking at Ruko with those piercing blue eyes of hers. She pulled her zanpakutou back and then she suddenly thrust it forward towards Ruko, shouting, "PERFRINGO!"

At once, a white burst of reiatsu suddenly shot out of the end of her blade, racing towards Ruko at a high speed like a bullet. And just like a bullet, it'd pierce through Ruko as if he was stabbed with her sword. Daniella was hoping to catch Ruko with this attack by surprise since obviously, someone wouldn't expect her to be able to use a long-distance move like this. It was aimed for Ruko's right shoulder, and if it hid, it'd ensure some good damage and really cut Ruko's usage of his right arm.

And to ensure that Ruko did get hit, she raised her left hand, knowing the price of what she was going to do. She was never good at Kido. She aimed for where Ruko was currently at, so she'd aim for him if he moved to dodge her Perfringo, and said, "Hado #4, Byakurai!"

Her reiatsu condensed and exploded out of her entire hand instead of just from her fingers, the white lightning shooting out for Ruko, more powerful than a normal byakurai. But that was because Daniella had put too much reiatsu into it, as blood dripped from a large, spiderweb-like circular cut on her palm, which looked like her palm had cracked from the middle. She uttered a small exhalation of pain, pulling her left, still smoking, hand close to her, putting her palm against her mid-section to put pressure on the wound.

She spat at his feet, finally realizing that maybe it was better to flee than to fight against this creature. She raised her sword in an unstable stance, still deciding whether or not to run as she charged Ruko. But as soon as she used shunpo, Ruko had appeared behind her. Her eyes glanced behind her with raw surprise in them, wide and shocked. As she was already moving forward, she only lowered her head and continued with her move, eluding Ruko's attempt to grasp her by inches, her hair coming closest but not touching any of the smoke, while she appeared where Ruko was standing before Ruko moved to come behind her. But instead of stopping there, Daniella decided to push for her advantage. Since she had already gotten some distance inbetween them and Ruko needed a second or two to reel back from his attempted attack, She used Shunpo again, this time appearing outside of the park, near the streets. She was rapidly putting distance between Ruko and herself. She knew she couldn't outrun the sin, as her ragged, pained breathing reminded her. So she decided to flashstep towards tall building. She jumped upwards from it's base, air pressure visibly radiating outwards as a shockwave from her jump as she rocketed upwards. Her ascent slowed near the 17th story, where she stopped completely, airwalking just enough so she was successful in kicking one of the many floor-to-ceiling tall glass panes that covered the entire building into pieces, making herself an opening. The power was already out, so everything inside was dark. She instantly dropped her reiatsu to a bare minimum, which was close to impossible to detect with the large difference between their strengths. She ran into the building as quick as she could. The room was filled with cubicles, making it sort of like a maze. Three sides of the room was completely glass, facing outside. One side of the room was a concrete wall.

She darted randomly into the place, keeping low, staying silent and moving fast. Left, right, right, left, right left, left, right. It was too hard to remember, so she kept moving until she found a cubicle against the innerwall of the room, so she had concrete to one side, not glass. On the bottom of the wall, under the desk that was built into the flimsy cubicle walls, there was a Vent. This vent was small, but it was big enough for Daniella to fit herself through. For once, Daniella was happy she wasn't busty, like Ruko was. But the screws! She knew Ruko was searching for her, so as quick as she could without making noise, she shoved the tip of her blade into one of the screw's groove, using the blade as a makeshift screwdriver. It was very hard, but slowly, she was managing it. Hopefully, it'd be before Ruko located her. But as she unlocked the first screw from it's place, she noticed that her hand was still bleeding badly. Her face drained of color as she continued to work at the screws, realizing that she had left a trail of blood behind her. If Ruko could locate the trail, he'd have an easy time finding her. She just hoped Ruko didn't have good vision in the dark. Daniella herself was stumbling through unscrewing the vent, using her fingertips to feel the groove before shoving the blade into and beginning it spin in in an unbalanced way. The sword was way too long to use as a normal screwdriver, so she was having trouble. Still, she managed to get the other two screws down in quick time. She was working on the final one now, hoping that the Sin wasn't as bright as she was imagining him to be.

Just as the last screw fell out, she heard his chuckle. Turning, her electric blue eyes fell upon him. Without waiting for him to finish his sentence, she made a guess that he was going to strike. Her instincts automatically caused her to impulsive dodge to the left, slamming against the cubicle wall. Not a second too soon, as the scythe sliced down into the floor where she was. She swung her sword at Ruko's scythe, mainly so she could cause it's blade to dig even deeper into the cement. With that attempt, she then quickly jumped up, corkscrewing in midair before she kicked off the ceiling, dashing upside down towards the window that was already broken.

She exited out of it full speed, spinning through the air until she was right side up again. The height and her speed carried her onto the roof of another, smaller building across the street. She rolled onto the roof, turning around to face Ruko again. She was finally thinking that it was a very bad idea to have taken on this beast of a person. Already, her body was aching from her strenuous moves and her left arm was hurting badly. So far, most of her dodges and blocks had been lucky or she'd made the right move before Ruko did, causing their speed to overlap against each other so the timing came out right. But that wouldn't keep up for long.

So, using the last amount of her strength, she focused her spiritual pressure into her body. Then, she said, "CELERITAS!"
In an instant, a gunshot-like sound echoed in the area as Daniella vanished, reappearing a huge distance away from Ruko, probably on the other side of the city.

She left a good energy trail behind, but it would take some time for Ruko to reach her. As she landed, almost no energy left, she saw that she was on the roof of a skyscraper. This time, pushing her injured hand into her top so it didn't leave a blood trail, she completely cut off her reiatsu so she was undetectable, her sword returning to it's normal form. She then jumped off the building, landing lightly in an alley. A quick look around and she found the thing she was looking for, an entrance to the underground sewers. Using her uninjured hand, she managed to pull off a manhole cover, quickly going in and closing it before she dropped the rest of the way into the sewers. Hopefully, she had lost the sin, but just to be safe, she began to walk randomly, unable to run or use flash step. The smell of the sewers were overpowering, but that was a good side, as it would hide her scent. Soon, she was hopelessly lost, but since random openings back to the surface came up here and there, she was sure she could get back to the surface when needed...
