It was night time. The time where most would be asleep, the perfect timing for her to carry out the mission silently. Sliding the mask on her neck to cover her mouth, she narrowed her eyes looking down at her target that she was sent to kill.

Rai Fukuo.

The former 5th seat of the 1st division. His Zanpakuto's ability is earth. In other words, he can completely manipulate the land and bury his attackers down if he wants too. Making him a dangerous person.

From the distance, he actually looks harmless and naive. Too bad he posed a threat. His presence alone led the opposition in Seireitei to grow in each passing day. It's pretty troublesome considering how much the opposition kept attacking different districts these past few days.

Guess who has to clean up if the one responsible gets away?

Luckily, the council full of old bags decided it was time to end this mess. They sent out an order that was passed through Yama-ji 'to silence the rebelling forces' they said. The one who was set to get this mission was actually the head commander, Yoruichi who hid as soon as she saw the scroll in Erina's hand.

Bottling up a sigh, Erina grabbed her blade from behind and went behind the shadows. She unsheathes her sword before jumping down the tree and appeared in front of him "Let's end this"

"Dodge" Erina frowned side stepping as soon as she heard Shuntendoji's voice in her mind. The ground began to shake violently for a few seconds before it calmed down, smoke scattered in the area. When she whipped her head to take a look, a line was engraved on the ground where she last stood. Hmph. So I was seen. "Blame yourself for not taking this seriously" Her right eye twitch at her Zanpakuto's insult but decided not to retort back.

"Who are you?" Despite being attacked the opposition leader stood still, pointing his Shikai to her direction. How admirable. Most people who would come to face her would normally run away in fear. Erina stayed silent as an answer to his question, watching his every move. He stomped on the ground, sending her flying as the ground she stood on suddenly grew high. Che.

As the man prepared for another attack, she used shunpo to appear behind him and slash her sword down his back. Scratching her head in annoyance, She tried her best not to freeze everything around her as the figure she slashed dissolved into mud.

This is going to get pretty troublesome.

Erina looked ahead of her, just in time to see Rai use his Zanpakuto's ability to create a hundred clones of himself. Che. Using hōhō, she made clones of herself that equal the number of the other side. Clones fought clones, or at least that was what it appears to be.

"Focus" Hearing her Zanpakuto's voice, she calmed down. Closing her eyes, on the sea full of clones she slowly searched for the one with the highest reiatsu.

There!

She threw her blade to her right, where the original Rai stood on, fighting a clone version of her in confusion. Noticing the blade too late, he stared wide eye as the sword went through his chest, pinning him against a nearby tree. Instantly silencing him.

Huffing, Erina folded her arms, staring as the clones from both sides disappeared one by one. She walked over to her targets and slowly pulled out her sword from Rai's body, swinging it in the air, removing the blood from her blade as she places the sword back to its sheath.

"Sorry about that partner," she said inside her head. 'Hmph! We will train more in the future' was all she got as a reply. She snickered, leaving their usual arguing to a halt. "If you say so"

—

"Yoruichi-san~" she sang the name while walking through the barracks of the second division, ignoring the people she passed by. Turning right, she slid the door open to the captain's room and was met with the sleeping figure of the captain underneath a pile of paperwork.

Erina walks towards her captain, contemplating whether to wake up her lazy captain or to just leave her hanging. Frowning down, staring at the tired figure of Yoruichi somehow annoyed the hell out of her. Fine. I'll leave her business to herself.

She brought her hand down that was itching to just slam the stupid mission scroll down the table and wake this lazy captain of hers.

Tapping her foot on the floor, a sign that someone took before coming in front of Erina in silence. She gave the scroll to the person's hands "Give this scroll to Yoruichi-san when she wakes up". The person she was talking merely nodded and went away behind the shadows.

Letting out a sigh, she took a walk to calm her irritated nerves.
