crash landing

Flying over the barracks of the Seireitei with a focused eye, Griffin tilted his head to the many running Shinigami below, he gave a flap of his wings to keep his momentum he felt the distance between him and Ichigo still going strong, he looked to the right to notice the many squad differences.

Seeing the many shinigami below, a lone one made him narrow his eyes at the calm pace before the said lone one stopped.

Watching the Shinigami, his instincts roared at him to dive, which he did in time to avoid a flash of silver where he was before, scowling at the asshole he summoned a lone bolt of purple lightning, striking the douche without warning, Griffin smiled smugly as the man fell down, allowing Griffin to keep flying.

"Asshole"

Stopping to hover a minute to scan the area below, he took notice to the lone white tower beside the bad ass hill he gave a hum before diving to the ground, spreading his wings to keep his descent steady, seeing one Shinigami eating bento he swooped by the Shinigami to snatch the large piece of food with the man crying anime tears.

"Thanks for the meal, loser!" munching on the stolen meal calmly as he flew through the street wide paths, Griffin failed to notice a silver haired woman turning a corner directly in front of him.

Looking up they made eye contact for a split second before Griffin threw his meal away in alarm while the woman ducked beneath him.

Leaving him to crash into the wall behind her with a loud snap, making him growl in pain at his right wing being broken, he struggled to stand as the woman turned to him in silence.

Not evening bothering to cuss a storm as he stood up in pain, Griffin looked his limp wing while the woman approached him calmly.

Turning to the woman with a worried expression, he stopped however at seeing the woman before him frowning in worry.

"You poor thing" watching the woman kneel down, she reached out for him with caution.

Backing away slightly the woman spoke in a soothing tone.

"Hey, it's okay, I'm just going to see what's broken" seeing her smile an honest smile, Griffin approached her to get rid of the annoying pain in his wing.

Feeling her hands gently lift him from the ground, she held him carefully to inspect his broken wing.

"Hmm, let's see, broken Ulna, thankfully the Radus survived that impact" smiling at her atopsy, the woman reached into a small bag she was carrying, leaving Griffin to commit her face to memory.

She was tall obviously, young looking with gray eyes and short messy silver hair with strands on the right side of her face that reached shoulder-length and styled as two thin braids.

Sporting thin dangling red earring on each ear, and a uniform that hid her curvaceous figure.

Watching the woman bring out a ruler with wrapping gauze.

'They have those here?' allowing the woman to fasten his wing to the wood, she had a smile as she set him down once she was done.

"There, all done, that wasn't so bad was it?" looking to his wing in a makeshift sling, Griffin turned to the woman who smiled at him until she blinked as he spoke.

"Thanks gorgeous" suppressing a laugh at her shocked look, Griffin tilted his head with amusement.

"What, never saw a talking bird before? They're quite common in the living world" watching the woman try to bring logic to this current predicament, She finally spoke.

"You could talk this whole time?" giving a snort of amusement, the woman didn't share his amusement as she carefully held him in front of her face.

"HEY HEY HEY, WATCH THE FEATHERS LADY, MY WINGS FUCKED UP AS IT IS!"

"What kind of hollow are you?" staring at the woman as his lower jaws opened in disgust and offense.

"HEY, I'm far more better than a hollow, I am a Zanpakutō, I have never been so offended in my life to be mistaken for those brainless doorknobs!" seeing the woman raise her eyebrow, she spoke in confusion.

"Whose Zanpakutō do you belong to, it's odd for one to manifest without a wielder?"

"He's not that far from here, if you can do me a solid so I can return to him I should be healed in seconds" seeing her pout with eyes of suspicion, she spoke.

"Alright, take me to you're wielder" nodding to her, she held him with both arms.

"Alright gorgeous, move forward and then take a left"

"I have a name you know?"

"Oh yeah, what's that?"

"Kotetsu Isane"

"Well, Isane, the names Griffin"


Sitting beside Ikkaku as they were surrounded by unconscious Shinigami, Ichigo and Ikkaku were both reading his book in wait for Griffin's return.

Flipping a page, Ikkaku frowned with interest as he read the book.

"So you're Zanpakuto basically summoned this book, which is basically a guide to you're powers and you're life, for what exactly?" putting a bookmark on the current page, ichigo set it down between them to explain.

"Yes and no, this book is a… conductor of energy if you understand that, Unlike the blade of my Zanpakuto that takes the form of a Cane, the Reiatsu I unconsciously let out of my body, is redirected into this book, and the only way to use said energy, is for me to read it, it is an endless supply so to speak" seeing Ikkaku nod in slight understanding, he sat back before noticing a fellow squad member rise slightly until he kicked him back to unconsciousness, turning to Ichigo to read more, the sound of approaching footsteps made them both turn to see Griffin, being carried by an attractive woman.

"Hey, Rockstar, found a medic for Baldy here… and these guys, did the pile grow while I was flying?" seeing Ikkaku beside Ichigo, Isane's cheeks were bright red at the sight of this, young and dare she say it, handsome stranger.

A stranger who approached with a frown of worry as he gently took Griffin from her hands.

"Griffin what did you do" brushing a hand over the avian's head, the bird vanished, returning to his tattoo's with Isane gawking before she regained her composure.

"I apologise for his condition, it was an indirect accident" seeing her bow, Ichigo chuckled while Ikkaku rolled his eyes, looking to the left he was met face to snout with Shadow who gave a small chuff.

"It is no trouble, hopefully this teaches him how to be careful" hooking his Cane onto his left arm, he reached for a shake with his right hand.

"Kurosaki Ichigo, at your service" shaking her hand while staring into his kind eyes, Isane spoke.

"Kotetsu Isane, mast- I mean Kurosaki-kun-SAN!" stifling a laugh at her shyness, he turned to Ikkaku who was having a staring contest with Shadow.

Turning back to Isane he spoke.

"Are you by any chance a medic?" perking up, isane gave a nod with Ichigo smiling, making her cheeks redden as her heart fluttered.

"Thank you, my newest companion wishes for First aid, because one of my sentient abilities decided to make a fight one sided" moving past Ichigo with full intent to help, she knelt to assess Ikkaku's wounds, making him wince as she gave a soft prod to the styptic.

"You used all you're styptic, Madarame-san" looking up to the bald man, he gave a nod to ichigo .

"I was gonna die but he decided to be merciful, been pretty good company actually" nodding to Ichigo the teen gave a nod in return, moving to speak, he stopped at hearing footsteps approaching.

"Well, since you're capable hands, I shall take my leave, oh and Ikkaku, when this is all over I expect a Sparring match, Kotetsu-chan, have a splendid day" leaping up to a wall, griffin returned fully healed, grabbing Ichigo's left hand in the air, they flew over the wall with Isane blushing as she went to wrapping Ikkaku's wounds properly.

'What's with that blush?" his question gained him a small light slap to his bald head.

"Be quiet"
