As the Gillian began to disappear, Yuji opened his mouth. The Hollow turned into a blue energy, which went straight into the Bount's mouth. After he finished consuming the hollow, he wiped his mouth with a small handkerchief he had in his suit's breast pocket. As one of the strangers spoke to him, he turned around to face the voice.
As he listened to her introduction, a slightly confused look came across his face. It was obvious he had no clue what the 13 court guard squads were. "Well, it's a pleasure to meet you as well, Akiyama-san." he said, with a deep bow. "My name is Minagawa Yuji, but you can just call me Yuji if you'd prefer." he said with a smile.

The man introduces himself as Minagawa Yuji, but something about him, probably that strange ability to eat Hollows, and shoot spikes out of the shadows makes Hitomi severely suspicious of this persons' intentions. Hitomi responds in kind with a smile, and continues her line of questioning, not letting up her guard at all, incase this man decides to turn around and attack HER.
Ah, so you are Yuji. The man in the white haori behind me is Captain Kiba Nakamura, and the one behind me is 3rd Seat Atemkan the Adakobe. It's not everyday you see someone walk up, and just consume a menos grande. And since I saw you use a strange ability...I am concerned about your intentions. Please inform me of your intentions, I trust you understand I have a bit of reason to ask these questions.

"It's a pleasure to meet you both." Yuji said, bowing to each of them as he was introduced to the other Shinigami. He raised an eyebrow when his doll was reffered to as strange. For him, it was these three strangers that had the strange abilities. "Menos Grande? So, that thing wasn't a Hollow?" he asked, mostly to himself than the girl in front of him.
"Hey! Who do you think you're calling strange, girl!?" a voice spoke out, seemingly coming from underneath Yuji. The bount sighed before kneeling down and touching his shadow.
"You know... this isn't really the time to be yelling at strangers." he said with a nervous laugh. He figured if he, or Schatten, decided to show any signs of aggression, he'd be cut down in an instant.
"But you heard her Yuji! Calling me strange like that! I don't think we should tell her anything!" the voice said, now probably causing confusion among the group.
"Just ignore it. I'm sure she didn't mean it to be insulting." he said as he patted his shadow and stood back up. "I apologize for the interruption, but he's got a pretty big ego, so it's hard to keep him calm sometimes." the Bount said with a smile. "Anyway, my intentions? I noticed that creature you called a Menos Grande, and got hungry. That's basically all that happened." Yuji said with a smile.

Judging by the actions of this man's... familiar. Hitomi surmises he doesn't even know what the 13 court guard squads even are. Granted by the tone it took, she also surmises that his ego must've been gained from somewhere or something. Sighing, Hitomi concentrates a bit, to get a feel of this mans' spiritual power. Which is quite significant, so Hitomi surmises this man is not entirely human.
You're not... from around these parts, are you? The 13 Court Guard Squads essentially exist to send lost souls on their way to soul society. Since predators like the Hollows like to eat them, we are also tasked with dispatching them, thus purifying their souls and sending them along their way to soul society as well. When something dies in Soul Society, we send them here, to be reborn as a being on this planet. That is our job. A Menos Grande is essentially a more powerful variety of Hollow, nevertheless, it seems however, that you feed off souls... Hmm...I have... extremely pressing matters to attend to, so I'll leave you with Captain Nakamura for now as it is his job to gather information about these kinds of things, good sir. Thank you for your assistance with the Menos Grande.
She turns her attention toward Atem after saying that.
Please remain with Captain Nakamura for now, report back to Soul Society after this is concluded. Do try to be careful, alright?
Hitomi secretly just doesn't feel like engaging something that can almost be considered human. That being said, this man has some level of power, and she doesn't exactly want to do any extended fighting without prior information of the subject. She is afterall, in Squad 3, and doesn't fight things unless she is positive of the outcome. So, with a smile and a wave, Hitomi shunpos away from the area. Hitomi arrives at a general store, and proceeds to go inside, looking for flour (Her pressing concerns, no doubt.)
The Captain will be quite cross if I don't get that flour....Oh shoot, I kind of... forgot to bring a gigai... what to do.. what would Sairou do...?
When in doubt... Cheat!
A bit of a mischievous grin appears on Hitomi's face, as she pulls out her Zanpakuto once more activates the shikai, and slashes a bag of the flour. The wind from her zanpakuto causing a veritable flour tornado, that scares the living hell out of the few customers that were left in the store. She grabs a bag of flour on her way out and opens an senkaimon gate back to soul society. To which she casually exits the scene from, bag of flour in tow.

Kiba slashed the Menos in nearly three fatal positions as he noticed spikes appear on it out of the corner of his eye. Looking down he noticed a strange figure walk away from the Menos as the Lieutenant unloaded an attack on the Menos, finishing it off. Kiba then Shunpo'd down to the Lieutenant, Third Seat, and Newcomer, his sword now in sealed state which he then sheathed. He then nodded to the two Shinigami, "Third Seat Atem. Lieutenant Takamiya." He said, turning his attention to the newcomer. "I am wondering the same thing Lieutenant Takamiya has just asked you: Who exactly are you?" He asked, suddenly sensing the Lieutenant's Shikai activated and noticed some mayhem in a nearby store. Rolling his eyes, he re-directed his attention to the newcomer, awaiting his answer.

Yuji watched calmly as Kiba approached him. He could tell from the man's aura that he was strong, so he and Schatten kept an eye on him, in case the man decided he needed to kill someone.
"Although I've already told Akiyama-san, my name is Minagawa Yuji. It's a pleasure to meet you, Captain Kiba Nakamura." he said with a bow. "I apologize for the late introduction, but my stomach couldn't wait for a proper greeting. I do hope you'll forgive me for the rudeness." he said with a smile.

Kiba listened as Yuji identified himself, and slowly nodded. "Hmm, and what exactly are you? Clearly you are no Shinigami, nor Hollow, or a Vizard. So, what exactly kind of being are you?" He asked, not exactly caring if he offended anybody. Kiba seemed to examine his facial expression and asked another question, "...Have you ever heard of the 13 Court Guard Squads?" He asks Yuji.

"What am I? I'm not sure exactly, but I've heard others that can do the same as me call themselves Bounts. So I guess that's what I am." Yuji said with a smile. He had run into others of his kind in the past, but he never stayed in touch with them. Yuji was the kind of person to make many acquaintances, but not keep most of them as close as friends.
"And to answer your second question, no, I have not heard of such a thing." he said as he looked at the two Shinigami that stayed. "But, the young woman from earlier had explained to me what they were." he said with a kind smile.

Kiba thought for a moment then spoke, "A Bount....i have heard of your kind, vaguely. If my memory serves me correctly..." Kiba says, pointing towards Yuji's shadow, "That is your Doll, correct?" He asks Yuji.

Atem did not hear anything from the strange man and Hitomi's conversation nor did he hear anything. He was beat up from Chihiro's fighting. " I oughta scold that..." Atem then barely saw Hitomi come up to him and say something. Then she walked away. Captan Nakamaru started talking to the guy to and Atem still did not hear anything. Atem fainted on the spot quietly so Nakamura in his conversation could not hear unless he turned around.
In Atem's mind Chihiro came up to him and started laughing. Atem bared his teeth and jumped on Chihiro. He punched Chihiro in so many places that when he was done Chihiro looked like a giant red ant. "Next time.... I'LL KILL YOU! I am only forgiving you because you fought the Hollows.

"Well, technically it's my shadow." Yuji said with a small smile. "My doll isn't technically here until he's needed. But in a sense, yes, my doll is there; underneath the shadow." he said with another smile.
"Do you have any more questions, Captain Nakamura? If not, I'll need to be on my way. It is getting rather late and I need to be up early." he said, before noticing the other Shinigami lying on the ground, apparently passed out. "Oh dear..." the Bount stated as he put a hand to his lips. "It seems as though your friend has passed out from the battle. Is it okay to leave him like that?" he asked, putting his hand back at his side.

Kiba nodded as he listening to Yuji speak but then noticed him look behind Kiba. Looking back, Kiba noticed the 3rd Seat passed out. As Yuji asked his question, Kiba turned to face Yuji once again, "Hmm, I wouldn't think so. I'll take him back with me. You can head back now, Good day." He said, picking up the Third Seat and Shunpoing away, trying to figure out where Hitomi went.

"Very well. It was a pleasure to meet the two of you." Yuji said with a bow as he watched the Shinigami leave. When they were out of sight, he returned Schatten to it's seal. The shadow moved in front of Yuji before restoring itself as his cane sword. "Well then. Off to the house, and into bed." Yuji said as he walked back towards his house.
