"No, Ichinose," Jin says with a smooth, yet cold voice, appearing suddenly between Maki Ichinose and the opponent they had been engaging for a few minutes now-- Avira.
Jin's hand curls around Maki's Zanpakuto, stopping it mid-swing with no visible harm to himself, and meanwhile, a strong gust of wind pushes Avira back some paces, putting distance between the opposing sides.
"Go after the other one," Jin continues to Maki, "stop them from alerting their friends; I'll worry about this Hozuki."
Maki, a little troubled but ever obedient, flash steps away, leaving Jin and Avira alone on this skyscraper rooftop in the western portion of Karakura Town, beneath the sparsely starlit sky and the faintly visible crescent moon that hung overhead.
"Avira, Avira, poor misguided Avira, it's so good to see you again," Jin says devilishly as he turns and fixes her with a menacing gaze, "I've been thinking about you."
The wind around the skyscraper starts to kick up, sending a strong breeze past Avira, a breeze that runs past her flesh and through her hair like the fingers of something haunted and pestilent, something wicked and wanting, though something that also lacked hostility... for now.
"Stay your Zanpakuto for the time being, I want to talk."
