Annoying.... all of them are so damn annoying. Yveltal bit his lip as he walked the streets of the Rukongai. Every person that looked at him pissed him off more and more. Their eyes looked like they wanted something from him, like they expected him to do something for them. His blood was starting to boil, his entire body started to tense up he wanted to punch something, someone anyone that got in his way. Right now he was ready to blow and all he needed was for someone to give him an excuse to do so and that's what happened when a group of random Rukongai thugs bumped into him.

“Hey watch where you're going pun...” Yveltal didn't even give him a chance to finish his words before his fist was through the man's head. He smiled as he saw the blood go everywhere. There was such a great sense of satisfaction when he saw the man die before his hands. He had found his way to get rid of all of his rage. This group of ruffians wouldn't live another day, but he didn't care, they were just unlucky enough to come across his path and now he was going to make sure that they were going to suffer as much as he could make them before they died.

The first one died too quickly so he took his time as he ripped the arm off of one of them laughing as he heard the screams of the man getting his arm ripped off. With the arm in his hands he turned to another of the group and started to swing it at him, using it as a blunt weapon. Slowly he beat the man to death with the arm of his friend blood spilling everywhere. This was great, he was having an amazing time killing these random ruffians. The one that had his arm ripped off tried to run away bleeding all over, but Yvetal slowly turned his head to face the man and let out a horrible yell.

The scream wasn't a normal one, no it was his own power. The scream hit the back of the man and caused him to fall over, along side destroying part of the path under him and all around him. Slowly he stepped towards the man his screaming never stopping keeping him pinned under the strength of it. As he got to the man he stepped on his back, slowly he made sure to dig the heel of his boot into the man's back. Now using his own weight instead of his screams he slammed one foot right into his lower back snapping the man's spine in two.

This was so much fun, yet it was almost over, there was only one left alive and he had already taken off running as soon as Yveltal started to slaughter his friends. Finishing off the last one quickly wouldn't be fun so he started to chase the man always keeping just a bit behind the man so that the chase would last as long as possible. The man continued running out of the streets of the Rukongai and into the wilds. Yveltal couldn't help but admit that the chase was fun, but now that he had chased the man out into the wilds of the soul society it had lost it's pleasure. Grabbing the man from behind he snapped his neck and tossed him aside.

His rage for now had settled down to tolerable levels and he was now out in the vast open wilds. It wasn't often that he got a chance to look around the wilds, he had heard stories of beast like men living out here and hunting so he was curious to see what would be lurking around this place. So he set off away from the dead body, while he himself was still covered in a bit of blood. He didn't care that his uniform was coated in blood, in fact when he got back to society most would avoid him because of it so he was happy.

[Nesr]

Nesr was in her home in the mountains of Soul Society. She built her nest in an alcove on the side of the moutain, giving her cover from any bad weather but giving her enough of a view to satisfy her. She also was building what would be considered rooms near her main nest, giving her space to gather things she would deem necessary and just for extra space in general. She was in one of these extra rooms, standing in front of a mirror, which was just a large piece of a broken one she had found and carried back here to her main home.

She preened herself in the mirror, making sure that all her feathers were in the right direction, cleaning them and making sure that she looked presentable. She then moved her wings towards the front of her body, checking them as well. She made sure that all of her feathers were in good shape, going the same way and looking presentable as well. Once she was done with that, she grabbed her staff and started to clean it, making sure that it gleamed like the morning sun of Ra. Once she was happy with the way she looked and her staff looked, she grabbed for her notebook.

She then grabbed the nearest writing utensil and stuck them in her clothes. She was able to put a little pocket, near her hip, in her pants (or what she would refer to as pants) for her book, making sure it wouldn't slide out. She stuck her pencil in her headdress, so it was nice and snug. Once she felt ready, she walked out of her nest, opened her wings and caught the breeze, allowing her to glide up enough to where her wings could get her the forward momentum she needed to actually fly. The entire time it took her to get ready was a couple of hours, but she was never in a hurry.

Her days were pretty lazy, considering. She would get ready after she woke up, then fly around Soul Society, taking notes, until she got hungry. Then, she would eat to her heart's content, until sundown, when she would go back home and go to bed. This was her day every day. She didn't seem to mind it too much, but it could get boring. She was already hungry, so she spotted a nice, juicy rabbit hopping along below her. She dive bombed it, having her talons out and feet ready. When she got close, before it even noticed her, she grabbed it with her talons, making the little one squeal.

She quickly landed in a low hanging tree branch, broke its neck, and started to eat. It wasn't too filling, but while she was eating, she heard something. She thought she heard someone's voice. She had laid her staff next to her on the tree branch while she was eating, but she grabbed it in her hand, ready to be on guard. The noise stopped, so she continued eating. After a few minutes, she was done, throwing the skeleton and fur on the ground beneath her. She then started to clean herself up, since the blood could leave a stain.

Once done with that, she turned around on her branch and noticed someone walking her way. She stayed in the tree, where she would have the advantage, and stared at him. When he got within earshot, she would yell out. "Hey! Who you?" If he would continue to walk closer to her, she would wait to say this until he stopped walking. "You hunter? Blood look fresh. Good hunt?" She cocked her head to the side as she said this. She hadn't met an actual hunter out here before, and it was interesting that she would run into one now.

"Hey! Who you?"

Yveltal's eyes filled with rage the moment he heard those words uttered towards him. Who in their right mind would dare to call out to him and try to antagonize him? Well it didn't matter no matter who they were they would soon end up dead. However his rage cooled the moment he saw who the voiced belonged to. It wasn't a human, no instead it was a very large bird woman. His eyes filled with joy and glee something that was often missing from them. He had seen for the very first time what was known as a beast clan. He had read about them, but up until today never seen one and he was ecstatic. They were just large animals and he wanted to hug them, or more specifically he wanted to hug the bird woman in front of him because she was a bird.

He was stopped dead in his tracks at the sight of her, his eyes rolled down looking and trying to figure out how to approach her. He knew most birds would fly if spooked and he assumed that this bird woman would be the same. He could hardly keep himself from jumping towards her at the sight of her. He really did love animals, so much that others could call it a fatal flaw, he would always throw caution to the wind when dealing with an animal, just because he wanted to hug it. So now with a beast clan before him he lost all notion of wanting to fight and was now trying to figure out a way to hug the bird girl.

He heard her words tilting his head a bit, he had heard that the beast clan were feral creatures that could speak, but were mostly animalistic, this one seemed to have a good understanding of the situation however. He stood there for a few moments not knowing what to do, or how to respond. His end goal was to be able to hug the damn bird girl, yet how to go about that. He had been silent the entire time calculating which would be the best way to get to her without her running away or flying away given that she was a bird.

“Mine...” The word was muttered out softly and cold without any emotion. In the time it would take for someone to understand what he had said he would of vanished from sight and reappear right infront of the bird woman. His arms extended out trying to wrap them around her as fast as he could. The question would be how could he of managed to close the gap and climb the tree in a matter of a second? The answer was simple, he had used shumpo to do it, normally a stepping tech that was used for combat, but how exactly had it placed him in the air? That was due to his strength.

Normally just using shumpo would of caused him to go in one direction, however what wasn't seen is that he had jumped up using his massive strength just before using the stepping technique. The face that he had pushed himself up into the air forced the momentum of the stepping tech to propelled himself at an angle that landed him right before the bird woman. All this took place in the matter of a second. He assumed that the quick displacement of his body would cause the bird woman to be confused and unable to respond as he wrapped his arms around her and hugged her. “Pretty bird.”

[Nesr]

Nesr was looking at this person, just staring at him. She saw him almost stomp towards her but when he saw her, he immediately stopped. The look in his eyes was really weird. She cocked her head to the side, trying to figure out what that kind of look meant to these people. She slightly adjusted her stance on the tree branch, moving to face him now and looking down at him, still squatted down on the branch. She then looked and saw that he was looking down on the ground.

Why was he looking down? She had no idea. She had never met one of these new 'people' here actually do that around her. They just looked, screamed and ran away. It was either that or they looked at her funny and cowered at her, like prey to be hunted. When people did that, she fought back her predatory instinct to actually go after them, since she knew that they didn't know any better. But, no one had ever looked on the ground at her like that before.

The first thing that went through her head was that he was acknowledging her dominance, which made her ruffle her feathers with pride slightly. It was nice that he knew who was the more dominant among them. He had moved his head, so she knew that he had heard her. Could he not speak? Is that why he looked at her so weird and was now looking down on the ground. She had never met someone that couldn't speak. But of course, she didn't know that he was just thinking.

She thought she might've heard something from him, but in the next instance he was right in front of her. She was completely shocked and off of instinct, opened her wings and flew out of the tree. Opening her wings and then flying was just as quick as when he showed up. She was completely confused as to why he would do that. She kept herself up in the air while staring at this man. "Why do that? Nesr no understand."

[Deleted]

The bird girl was able to quickly escape his surprise attempt to grab her. He was a bit upset, but not angry. Before he fell back down he grabbed the branch with one hand and pulled himself up. He smiled as he watched the bird girl fly there and ask what was he doing. He tilted his head at the bird girl and wondered what his next move was to try to catch the bird girl. He wasn't sure what to do, but he did know that he could at least answer the question that the bird girl had. His reasons were very simple she looked like she had soft feathers and he wanted to hug her to find out if they really were or weren't. All animals were normally soft and cuddly after he had dealt with them trying to bite him for the larger ones so he wondered if beast clan were the same.

“To hug the pretty bird.” He smiled knowing that for the time his actions didn't scare away the bird girl. He stood up on the branch extending one arm out to grab the trunk of the tree. If him trying to grab her wasn't going to scare her away he knew that he could try to hug her again. However given that he seen that she can talk and has somewhat understanding of what is going on anther plan formed in his head. This one dealing with less surprise attacks and more with words. “Bird girl, come here so I can hug you. I want to learn more about you.”

[Nesr]

Nesr flapped in place, watching this man. She had never met someone that had actually reacted like this to her at first glance. She had immediately assumed that him moving so quickly, he was trying to attack her. It was why she immediately ran off to get away. She never dealt well with someone quickly trying to get at her. She was different, yes, but she knew that she wasn't that strong. At least, she wasn't that strong yet.

Once he started to speak, she was a little more confused. He wanted to hug her? She had never had anyone try to hug her before. She cocked her head to the side, looking very confused at his answer. He smiled at her, making her think that he was actually being truthful and that's all he wanted. But, she knew that smiles can hide alterior motives. Predators could use those to get prey in close before going into the kill. Though, she wasn't prey.

Nesr was a predator. No eagle would ever be considered prey. Horus was never prey, he was the king of the gods. She was his instrument in this world, so this one measly person couldn't harm her. So, since she could fight back against him, she didn't worry if he didn't mean his words. He then added that he wanted to learn more about her, but he kept calling her bird girl, which annoyed her. She had already said her name to him, why didn't he understand?

She slowly started to flap towards the man, keeping a few feet in between them. She knew that he could easily close the gap and she was giving him the chance to do so. It was then that she put her arms to her sides and looked him in the eye. "Me Nesr, who you? You live in big place in center?" She pointed towards the huge area which was the main section of Soul Society. She was pretty much asking him what his name was and if he was a part of the Gotei Thirteen.

[Deleted]

She came closer, he smiled, at the very least it seemed like she was listening to him which made him happy. Happiness that was a strange feeling for him, it had been so long since he had felt any sense of that emotion in him. So long since he had felt anything besides rage and anger. Yet here he was feeling some sense of joy from a simple animal listening to him. He wondered if other animals would give him the same sense of joy that he felt right now or was it because this bird girl had listened to him that he was feeling this joy? He didn't know, but for now he didn't want to lose this feeling that he had, something else besides the rage.

Her name, it was strange, foreign to him and yet it seemed to fit her. Normally he would of lunged out at her attempting to grab her, but for now he held back he want to do so. She had asked a question and a rather strange one at that. Given the choice of clothing he had on everyone knew that he was a shingami and that they all lived there in the barracks of the Gotei thirteen. So it meant that these beast clan that he had heard about didn't know or at least it wasn’t' common knowledge of what shingami were. It was different, different to know that he wasn't expected to act a way because of what he was, it was a nice feeling.

“Yes I live there Nesr. My name is Yveltal and I am a shingami.” He extended out his hand to her to see if she would take it. For now he wanted to know more about this beast clan girl. Were all of them like this? Did they all speak like little kids? Or was she just special in that she could actually speak with others. So many rumors about the beast clan and he wanted to discover what was true and what wasn't. Furthermore he wanted to test out how good of a sparing partner she would be. Most people he struck once ended up in the hospital if they were lucky or dead. He had heard rumors about the beast clan being more sturdy than a human and now was the chance to test that out.

[Nesr]

The smile on his face was weird for her to see, but she didn't know those people from the center very well. They could all smile when she comes towards them. Nesr made a mental note to try that at some point. She could easily just fly into that place right now and say hello to all the people there, but she never did because of the reactions that she got from all the people that lived outside of that place.

She had assumed that they would all treat her like that, but maybe some of them were different. She just cocked her head to the side, looking at him and see what he would actually do now that he knew her name. It turned out that he did in face in live the big center place that she thought he did. She smiled at herself for being smart enough to remember and pick out that he probably lived there.

She heard the name and let it simmer in her mind for a minute. It was definitely a unique name, to say the least. It was also a name that she had never heard before. When he said shinigami, however, she had definitely heard that phrase before. She hadn't met very many, but they all wore a same basic outfit that she was now starting to see as a trend for shinigami.

It was the black and white outfit they wear. Some add accessories to it, others don't, but she'd seen a few to call it a trend. It was rather plain, but she didn't know the customs of the people here, and not well enough to actually say anything about it. She looked at him and started to try to say his name. "Y....Yve....Yvel....tal.... Hard name. Nesr have trouble. What it like in center? Nesr curious." She let her curiosity get the better of her, asking him what it was like living there, since she's flown near it but never close enough to see anything.

[Deleted]

He chuckled a bit as Nesr tried to say his name. He didn't think it was a hard name to say, but then again he didn't know how smart these beast clan were. This one could speak and understand what he was saying, but it didn't seem like she could hold a complex conversation. He wondered if this was the case for all beast clan or if this bird girl was special. He had known that some parrots in the human world could mimic human speech and even hold a basic conversation. Was this beast clan girl a large parrot? She didn't look like one at all, but who knew how things worked with the beast clan. There wasn't a lot of knowledge about them open to the public.

He sat down on the tree branch as he looked at her and patted the spot next to him. He wasn't going to be standing so long if she was just going to be hovering there in the air. He was getting bored of standing there waiting for an opportunity to try and nab her, she was fast enough to dodge his attempts, however he doubted that in a real fight she would be able to avoid him. Which raised the question how would he fair against her in a fight. He wondered how it would go given she could take to the sky's and he couldn't reach her. He kept silent for a moment trying to imagine how he could beat a flying opponent.

“It's ok Nesr, you'll get it. The center is boring, no one worthy of fighting. Everyone is too weak, they all die after getting hit once. Hollows are more fun to fight as they don't run after being hit once.” He smiled as he looked at her thinking of a plan to test how well he would find out how he would do against her. “After all I am the strongest, not even you could last against me in a fight.” There it was the bait to see if she would bite and take him up on his offer of a fight, hell it didn't even have to be a real one he just wanted to see how well he could handle himself against her.

Unlike with other fights he didn't feel any sort of rage towards Nesr. No it was curiosity that he felt towards the bird girl, something that he had not felt in a fight. All of them had been rage and fury. A blinding red fury that clouded his mind and drove him on by pure instinct. Ripping limbs from his foes and throwing dirt in their eyes is what he did best in a fight, yet here he only wanted to test his strength against her's and not harm her. There was peace in his mind for a while. He didn't know how long it would last, but it allowed him to think clearly for now. Clearer then he had ever thought before.

[Nesr]

Nesr was still trying to pronounce the man's name, but having issues. Having a beak made it a little hard to pronounce letters. She hadn't learned a way around it yet, so it was going to take a good deal of work to try to say his name correctly. She was still trying to actually produce the letters to say his name when he actually started to talk. She also noticed that he wanted her to sit next to him.

She wasn't going to sit next to this stranger, but she was rather curious about him. She swooped in and stood on the very edge of the branch, close enough to him so he could sit comfortably, but far enough away from him and far enough out on the tree branch that she could easily jump and fly off. She cocked her head towards this man, even more curious about him.

It seemed like he wasn't going to do anything. When he started talking about the center, she leaned forward, eyes big with curiosity and excitement about learning of that place she has always seen from a distance. When he said it was boring, her face just sank. She hoped that it was interesting and exciting, a place that she would actually want to visit. It sounded like, from him, it was a rather bad place.

But! He was talking based on fighting alone. It seemed that he thought himself very strong, since everyone else can be defeated by only getting hit once. To her, that didn't seem possible. But, she had not really fought any other people from the center, save one other. But, they were completely different people. Also, this guy didn't look outwardly super strong, like no big muscles.

He was toned, which was an advantage. But, she had her wings, which gave her an immediate advantage against him. She could fly up high enough to where he wouldn't be able to reach her. Though, she just assumed that, not knowing how high he could actually go without flying. He then said he was the strongest and she couldn't defeat him. "Nesr young. Nesr have Horus. Nesr keep up." She nodded after that, confident that Horus could help her keep up with this guy in a fight.

[Deleted]

He laughed at what she said, he had baited her and she fell right for it. He smiled as he stood up and looked at her dead in the eyes. “Oh yea? Prove it, fight me if I win you become my pet. If you win..... I'll take you to see the center.” He smiled as he jumped off of the tree and landed right on the ground. He looked at her and beckoned for her to come after him. He was ready for a “fight”, but it wasn't like the other fights that he had fought before. No this one was very different.

Unlike his other fight's he didn't want to hurt her, no he just wanted to beat her down and prove that he was stronger than her. There was no killing instinct in his mind at the moment. No ferocity to beat her down and humiliate her for his own pleasure. This was an honest fight that he wanted to partake in and win without killing her. It was a strange feeling to have to say the least, but a nice one.

His guard was up and he was ready, even if he didn't look like the type of fighter to pick up a fighting style he was actually fairly good at using Hakuda. For some reason he had picked up on the skill very early on in his time at the academy and continued to practice it in secret, while most shingamis gave up Hakuda after learning the name of their Zanpakutou, he didn't have one so he had to make use with what he had. His fists and his legs so his primary combat skill had become hakuda. He was confident enough in his skill to be able to take on someone without worry, though most of the time his monsterous strength did the job for him.

He waited to see what Nesr would do, would she dive bomb him like other bird's of prey did or would she attempt to attack him head on. The anticipation was killing him, not really, but he couldn't wait to see how this bird attacked. To know how the beasts of the wild use their strength to survive. This for some strange reason to him was something he wanted to know. He wasn't sure why, but something was telling him to study everything he could about this fight. Something was guiding him to learn more about the beastclan.

[Nesr]

Nesr stared at the man, thinking. What was a pet? She thought back towards what she had seen from the inhabitants of the outer reaches. She would remember seeing little animals around with the people. Some of these little animals would just run around the people, barking or meowing or what have you. Most of the people would shoo them away but there were a few that would actually feed them some scraps and give them pats.

Because of the way that she had seen them act to those animals, she tried that once. She walked into a little village, walked up to one of the people that lived there and started to make the noises that she had heard the other animals say. It was hard to do most of them, due to the beak, but it ended up sounding more like weird crowing or cackling and it scared the people enough to run from her.

She then thought about the other animals that hung around the people more frequently. With those animals, the people actually called them by name and made them live with them. She noticed that they fed them more frequently, but they had a certain area that they could explore. They usually have only that area to explore alone before they are called back. They could explore more, but the people had to be with them.

The more she thought about those moments, the more she figured that must be what a pet meant. She immediately didn't like the idea of being a pet to someone. They would take her freedom and no one will take the sky from her. She didn't think that it was equal, what he was asking. "Nesr not like. Nesr never pet. Nesr think not equal. Nesr bring you home." She was telling him that what he asking for wasn't fair and figured that instead, she would take him to where she lived, making it a little more equal.

[Deleted]

He bit his lip at what she said to him about taking him back to her place if she lost. While it wasn't what he wanted it still would be a rather fun thing to see. He hadn't heard of anyone ever going to the nest of a beast clan ever before. Could he become the first ever to do so? He wanted to know, he wanted to find out and for some reason even if she refused his terms he was ok with that given that what she had proposed to him wasn't that bad either. Still he wasn't about to agree to it right away, he still wanted her as a pet, given that he was calm around her. Something that he wanted to feel more often and understand why he was calm.

Still it was strange to think that he was happy about being around this bird. Why was that, why did Nesr ease his rage. He thought back to his own past for a moment. There was something there, something that he remembered. It was a blur, but it was there. He closed his eyes for a moment and tried to figure out what it was. In his mind he saw it, a bird in a cage and a younger version of him playing with the bird. He was feeding it a cracker and talking with it, the bird said something back and then all there was was static. Like if someone deleted his memories. he opened his eyes to see where she still was now with a grin on his face.

Still she was up in the air waiting for him to respond. “Fine, but no more Nesr, lets fight, unless you don't think you can win.” His eyes narrowed in on her as he kept his guard up, but there was a slight change in his footing. He tilted his right foot down a bit, digging into the soft earth with it. It wasn't really noticeable, but he had done so. He had a plan for when she came after him and it involved his feet. Sadly he didn't know how long he would have to wait for her to react though. He hoped that it was soon, if it wasn't he was going to take matters into his own hands and charge at her.

[Nesr]

Nesr looked on with anticipation to see what he would actually say to her rebuttal to what he said. She kept thinking about what he had said earlier, about making her a pet. She kept thinking back to what she saw in the Rukongai districts, thinking back to where she saw the animals doing what they wanted, not getting to wander to be free.... She never wanted that to happen to her ever.

She also thought back and remembered a small bird. It was in a cage, chirping away. It could've been happy sounds, but she immediately disregarded that and knew the chirping was the bird's way of telling the people to let it out. She was just imagining it now, the people thinking the bird is all cute but the bird is actually saying, 'What are you doing to me?! Let me out of this stupid cage now! I wanna fly with the wind to my back and be free!'

She knew that Horus would be happy to have one of his followers back into the sky again. Nesr nodded on those thoughts happily, she assumed that what she was thinking was right and nothing would change her on that stance, unless she actually saw some proof that the bird would enjoy being in that cage. But, she was so wrapped up in her own little world with her thoughts, she almost missed what this man was going to say.

She heard him say fine, which made her snap back to reality and swivel her head back to face him. It seemed that he had agreed to the new terms, which she was happy about. It seemed that he was impatient on fighting her. She had no idea why, but she wouldn't make him wait any longer. She grabbed her staff, top of the staff on her right side, holding it horizontally across her body.

She landed on the earth she was hovering over, landing about four feet away from the man. Right when her feet touched the ground, she moved. Since they were fairly close together, she extended her wings directly behind her so they were out of the way and swung right for his face, moving the staff up and leaving it at an angle to use both hands to smash the staff on the left side of his face.

[Deleted]

When she came towards him he lifted his foot that was digging into the earth, it propelled the sand that was on the top of his foot up into the air and into the eyes of Nesr. This had all been done in response to her taking forever to get ready to fight him. He was playing a little dirty given that she had annoyed him for taking so long. Yes it was a dirty move and yes it was cheap, but he didn't care, it's how he fought. If someone couldn't adapt then they weren't strong enough to face him.

The cane came for his face, but he was faster than her, he grabbed it as it attempted to hit his face, even if it did hit his face, it wouldn't hurt that much. With an open palm he thrusted the hand that wasn't holding onto the staff into the center of Nesr's chest. He did it with some force, but not enough to cause any sort of real internal damage to her. However she would be able to tell the amount of strength he had.

With the strike to her abdomen done he pulled on her staff, if she held onto it she would lose her balance and he would take advantage of that lifting his knee up to hit her again in the chest. If she let go of the staff he would pull it away from her and dash backwards holding onto it. Either way he would say the same words. “Horus can't keep you safe here Nesr. I break the gods over my knees.”
