Sometime after school gets out, a young girl quietly steps out of a glowing portal in the middle of a field on the outskirts of Karakura Town. This is a fairly generic meadow, with traces of life all over, grass, flowers, and some trees scattered here and there. Although recently there have been some buzzes about Hollow Sightings here and there.
This is where the message said to go..
Tama arrived here after receiving a message on her cellphone about a job. The job essentially wanted her to clear out a hollow that had been rampaging around the area and attacking the innocent pluses that had yet to find a spiritual guide to Soul Society. The wind picks up a little and blows her hair around as she peers around the area, trying to sense the spiritual presence of the creature she was sent to slay. Her eyes fire open upon detecting a spike in pressure, and she leaps to the side as acid flies by her. In her hand spawns a pistol, and she turns to face her adversary, which is a Shrieker-class Hollow.
This foe might be... a little tough.. but if I am to rid the world of the grand fisher... I must persevere here so that I may stand with my comrades...
The shrieker gives out an ear-splitting scream, and around 30 small little creatures emerge from nowhere. Tama recognizes these as suicide bomber-types, and keeps in mind to keep her distance from them. She gives out a sigh, and prepares herself for battle.

A blonde girl had walked in the meadow as she was a bit high, using her stepping stones technique as she had walked. She heard a screeching not too far from where she was as she had blinked. She was a tad curious as to what it was. She then thought, it was none of her business, but then again, it would be some fun to do a little fooling around.
The blonde Kimiwara had continued to walk towards the area where she had heard the noises as she had saw a young female standing in front of weird shaped monsters. They were small and peculiar looking as she had smirked. She had walked towards the female as she had then stood next to her slightly elevated, by the stepping stone formulated by energy.
She had slipped her hand in her bag as she had pulled out a gun, pointing it towards one of the hollows as she had then turned her head towards the girl, said nothing then turned her head back as she had set the gun and aimed for one of the hollow's heads. Kimiwara had then waited for it to make it's move thinking 'Hn, I wonder why there are so many small ones this time.'

Out of the corner of her eye, Tama notices a blonde-haired girl casually walk onto the scene while floating in the air on reishi particles. The girl pulls out a gun and trains her sight on a Hollow, appearing to be preparing for it's movement. Tama stretches her brain a little and recalls this girls' face from her classroom in school. The girl's name was Kimiwara Takahashi, as Tama recalls. Tama is a little surprised her classmate held this kind of ability. Soon the small little explosive hollow begin to form a circle around Tama's area, as the Shrieker takes flight and floats just out of the circle.
I think I can handle this...
Another pistol spawns in Tama's other hand, and she jumps backwards and fires a few potshots into the crowd of Mini-shriekers. Several of her shots ring true, as three explosions immediately occur, signifying that she had managed to shoot three of them. By this point, the mini-shriekers end up noticing Kimiwara, and jump in her direction. Tama issues a warning to her classmate when she notices the mini-shriekers jumping at Kimi.
... You must be careful and dispatch the little ones at a fair distance; for they explode upon contact. Avoid engaging the big one until the little ones are dealt with... if you cannot handle it please allow me to deal with this threat.

Kimiwara had said nothing as she saw a few of these small explosive mini-shriekers come fore her as she had shot, a blue bullet of energy coming out of the gun as she had directed it towards one of them. She had then heard her gun click as she had then fired off another one. Each time her gun clicked back in place she would shoot again. She had jumped back and jumped up as she had stood on a stepping stone, it being small as she only had one of on it, the other one being a tad elevated on the edge of it as she continued to fire at them.
Once she saw the numbers of mini-shriekers decreasing she had decided to take on the big one. She had quickly shot a few times but then stopped as she held the gun in place, her arm out steadily as she had created more stepping stones, running on them as the ones behind her had left and regenerated back in front of her. Once close enough she had quickly shot at the larger explosive creature as the blue bullet flew straight at it, going right for it's mask as she had looked blankly. Her expression through the whole thing was bored, or unhappy seeming.

The number of Mini-shriekers begins to thin out, as Kimiwara takes expert shots at them. Tama fires a few bullets where she can and contributes her fair share to the dispatching of the shrieker unit. Though, before all of the shriekers are wiped out; Kimiwara makes the mistake of attacking the main Shrieker. The remaining mini-shriekers immediately turn their gaze toward Kimiwara, and blast out ear-splitting screams that create crippling sound-waves that head toward her direction. In order to save her classmate from harm, Tama spawns a set of portals, and sends Kimiwara a safe distance away from the soundwaves.
I apologize... this is what I had attempted to warn you about.
In order to prevent that from happening again, Tama sends her pistols away, and pulls out a grenade. She primes it, and then allows it to cook in her hand a little before hurling it at the group of mini-shriekers that remain. They explode, leaving only the main shrieker; who is slightly ticked off that someone had the audacity to shoot at it.
Kree!!!! You foolish humans shall be devoured!
The shrieker puffs out his mighty chest, and flies swoops toward Kimiwara while firing a spray of acidic saliva in her direction as well.

Kimiwara smirked as she had mumbled "Big mistake.". She had looked at the large monster as she had then thought it was the 'Boss' of the large numbers of shriek-er's. She looked at the young female before her and saw her throw a grande at the little ones. Once she saw them all perish she had got into position. One one knee she focused her energy, pointing the gun at the shriek-er. But then she had to use her stepping stones to jump away. Being grazed with it's poisonous saliva only as she had moved a few feet out of the way. It burned the side of her arm but she didn't show emotion as she had pointed her gun again being on the side of the shriek-er as she had then fired off a bullet. It was a tad larger than the others, being a luminous blue as she shot it.
She had then used her agility stepping stones to shoot it again as she moved. Kimiwara was quiet intrigued by her classmate, seeing she had weapons also, but most importantly she knew how to wield a gun. Kimiwara shook the thought off and concentrated on the battle.
'Devour us whole? Hmm' She had thought as she had an idea as what to do if her bullet like energy pulses weren't working. But Then she thought of the acid and that if she did her idea it would have a fatal effect on her, so she decided not to as a bit of smoke came from her gun and from her arm as it burned her skin. She made it seem like it was nothing, that little graze on the arm, but then on the inside she wanted to scream. She had then thought 'Showing pain only shows fear. If I show my pain I am weakened more than I already am.' She had then kept calm as she had moved about 6 feet apart from the young female. She hadn't bothered to remember her name from school as she had sighed and looked at the boss shriek-er.

Tama notices that Kimiwara brushed off the acid burning her arm as if it were nothing. A small grimace and the momentary pause that Kimiwara gave was evident enough to Tama that she did indeed feel some measure of pain, but Tama couldn't tell how much. Kimiwara then charges a blue burst of energy in her pistol and fires it at the Shrieker, who flies upward to avoid it; but ends up getting shot in the leg by the projectile due to not being fast enough to completely avoid it. The leg is left a bloody mess as a Chakram appears in Tama's hand. The light silver glow it emanates slightly illuminates Tamas stoic expression.
(Kimi is really good with her gun.... she takes expert shots at the right moments, and doesn't let pain mess up her aim. I have... a lot to learn about guns.)
She twirls the chakram on her finger for a second, and suddenly the chakram grows larger and begins to gain spikes along it's circumference. Tama waves the chakram around her in a circle and suddenly six rifles appear in a circle around Tama with their small bayonets in the ground. The chakram disappears, and Tama picks up a rifle.
Kree~! Who do you think you arrrre?
The Shrieker puffs out his chest and spawns a few more of the shriekerlings. In response, Tama pulls one of the rifles off the floor and fires it, one explosion. She places the rifle back on the ground and picks up one of the other ones, and then fires. two explosions. She picks up yet another rifle and fires that as well, a third explosion. She picks up a forth rifle and fires it into the crowd of shriekerlings, a fourth explosion. She then picks up a fifth rifle, and points it at the last shriekerling, and misses. The small creature bounds toward Kimiwara, and in response Tama summons a set of portals and sticks a knife in it's back. It explodes on contact; damaging Tama's hand and arm. But at least Tama managed to protect Kimiwara from further harm.
..... I see, the main one must be quickly defeated if we wish to have any hope of getting out of here.

Kimiwara had looked at her and nodded as she had held her gun steady in her hand, hearing what the young girl had said. She had then had an idea, something that happens when she does a dance. "Dance of the Wicked" She had said in a low tone as she had started dancing on a stepping stone, using them to move as she had made two stepping stones her partner as she had continued to dance. Long slim black strings started to form as she had moved. Then, she had jumped high the strings had extended from her fingertips and from the inside of her shoes, passing right through them without leaving a dent.
Once these thin black strings extended enough, she would look at the shriek-er. This would usually be the time when she had usually stopped, but this time she didn't. She continued to dance as she had stopped on one stepping stone and started spinning, the thread like strings going straight for the large shrieker as she had angled them to go right through the mask and the belly of the shrieker. She had stopped moving as she had opened her arms and it ripped the shriek-er in half as the threads would disappear afterwards but linger around her body somewhat.
She had kept her eyes focused on this shriek-er as she had been extremely serious with her movements as she had stood still on one stepping stone. Her wound was beginning to soak through towards her bone as she had grunted, letting out a slight "Tch". She had felt the warm blood mixed with the acid drip down her arm as she had ignored every ounce of pain, the blood dripping to the floor and onto her gun as she had kept it in her hand, never letting it go, waiting to see if the enemy was truly dead.

With the shrieker cleaved in two by Kimiwara's thread attack. Tama puts away all her weapons and uses portals to instantly appear next to Kimiwara. She maintains a stoic look as she focuses her gaze upon Kimiwara's arm, which is bleeding heavily, with remnants of acid still burning through her soft tissue. A vial of curious liquid appears in Tama's hand. The label on the vial reads "Curing Drought."
If you do not allow me to treat your wounds.... you will never wield a gun again.

Kimiwara had looked at the young lady as she had began to speak. "What is your name?" She had asked, her tone a bit demanding yet it was calm. Her emotionless face gazed at the young female before her as she had stood there, lowering herself to the ground so she wouldn't have to waist anymore energy. She had held her gun tightly, not letting go of it as she had showed it was almost like her pride and joy.She would let this young lady treat her, but she needed to know her name first.
~Hn...She seems so interesting... I'm growing a liking to her.. hn, but what makes her wield so many weapons? She doesn't even seem to know how to wield a gun properly or shoot accurately.~ She had thought to herself as she examined the girl.

Tama hears the question and answers Kimiwara with her name.
Kiyomizu... Tama..
Tama peers into Kimiwara's eyes for a moment, wondering a little bit what she's thinking. She looks down toward the gun in her hand but doesn't really regard it. Since Kimiwara seemed a bit guarded to begin with, Tama didn't think it wise to pay much attention to the gun. Afterall, if Kimiwara did intend to shoot Tama, she would have done it during the conflict. Tama sits down on one knee, and gingerly takes hold of Kimiwara's arm while carefully administering the Curing Drought into the wound.
This will... sting a little.
The curing drought is a substance that Tama had received from a previous employer after having taken a mission from her. The employer was the owner of a candy store somewhere in Karakura. When Tama finishes administering the drought, the wound quickly begins to close up. Tama's hand suddenly glows with a soft silver light, and she places it over the healing wound to aid in the process.
Is this... okay? If you do not... stress the arm for a little while, you should.. be fine.
Tama couldn't help but examine the look that Kimiwara was giving her the entire time. And understands what the look means. After having been put in an internment camp for most of her life, she knows what it's like to be an interesting prize animal.
You... You wish to know of... My abilities right?

Kimiwara felt the sting as she had ignored it. She had heard the Tama speak as she had then nodded. She had then spun her revolver around her finger then put it in her bag as she had looked at Tama. She had bowed respectfully and began to walk of, but then stopped.
"If you want to tell me, then go on ahead. If you don't then I'll be on my way. Thank you for the healing also." She said, her voice sounding a tad cold as she had then stood and waited to see what Tama would say. Would she tell her willingly or would she keep it to herself? Whatever decision Tama made wouldn't really make any impact on Kimiwara too much.
Kimiwara's arm felt better as she was greatful to Tama, but she didn't ask to be healed, so there was no need to repay her or give her anything, her presence was enough.

Tama looks up toward the sky, and a pistol suddenly appears in her hand. Without looking, she points the pistol in Kimiwara's direction and fires it. The bullet whizzes past Kimiwara, missing her face by centimeters and into a tree off in the distance.
My abilities... I am able to... summon portals. My attacks... I keep an arsenal of weapons with me... using the space-time distortion properties of my weapon... As I showed you with the pistol just now... I know how to use them. I have... as basic grasp of what you can do too... Your gun-play is... good.
The pistol disappears from Tama's hand, and she redirects her gaze toward Kimiwara.
What do you... think? Am I a... freak, or monster to you?

Kimiwara felt the gun whiz past her as she had then turned around. Seconds later she had turned her gaze back to Tama, her eyes looking a tad cold as she had felt that the shot towards her wasn't necessary at all. She had then turned around and began to walk away, towards her home as she had then stated, hoping she could hear "I don't really care what you are, your no monster. Monsters don't have the will to help others, or the ability to do some type of good." She had said.
She had totted her bag as she had continued to walk as she had her guard up still, always having it up as she had walked. Kimiwara began to think more as she had thought ~Hn. Kiyomizu Tama...Hn, your name will be in my book of people...people to keep in mind of...Heh.~ She gave a small smirk as she had walked.

Tama nods at Kimiwara's response, knowing that she took a little bit of offense at Tama firing in her direction to make a point. She watches Kimiwara walk away, and notes to herself to make sure to watch out for Kimiwara later, as she seems to be a bit of a dark-horse.
(I must become stronger. I will defeat the Grand Fisher... eventually.)
A portal appears in front of Tama, and she slowly walks through it in order to leave the area.
