Everything's Eventual: Adalina Marisol vs. Shunketsu

Adalina Marisol happily skipped down the road she had been traveling on. It was a quiet night in the human world, and she had just taken the pleasure of finishing one of her more difficult jobs. She gingerly began to slow down in front of a playground, decided she needed a brake, and sat on a swing.

Across the playground there was a bench, and upon it sat the light-haired Shunketsu, finally exhausted after a day of wild goose chases after petty hollows. The captain looked up and smiled at the girl who had appeared across from him warmly.

The girl frowned back at him and began to rock back and forth on the swing. Her movements were plain and simple as she rocked back in forth, the swing moving with her and carrying them both as they went. She glanced back over to the man sitting before her but quickly averted her gaze.

It was then that something seemed to click in the captains' brain. "Little girl..." He said, standing up and walking over. "It's dark out, where's your parents?" He asked, as she continued to swing back and forth. "Can you give me your name?"

"Stranger danger." the girl stated bluntly and switched to another swing, farther away from the man.

"U...uhhh...child, you shouldn't be out after dark!" Shunketsu said, in what would be a commanding tone if not for his hesitation. Suddenly, a twang of spiritual energy caught his attention, and he turned to the other end of the playground to spot a hollow waiting in the dark. "Why, of all times..."

"Aren't you gonna take care of that?" the girl asked, eyes closed. She was still swinging.

So, she can see it, eh? Shunketsu mused as, from his pocket, he pulled out a pezz-like candy dispenser, and stuck one in his mouth. Immediately, the captain's soul separated from his body, and he stepped before the hollow with a friendly smile on his face. "Hello," He began, "May I help you? If you're lost or require assistance i'd be more than glad to-"

"Die, Shinigami!" The Hollow roared, reaching out to grab the much-smalled captain.

"Now, that's not very nice." Shunketsu said, and pulled out his blade, easily lopping of the monster's arm from the elbow down. "Try to be more polite."

The girl was watching the fight folding out before her with mild interest. She had knew the man was a shinigami from the start, but a captain? She stood from her swing to get a better view of the action.
