A few hours after dusk, a young male with long and messy black hair stood in the skies above Kagamino City. He wore the garbs of a student within the Soul Society's academy for upcoming Shinigami. He seemed to be surveying the area with his eyes, as well as his ability to sense Reiatsu. Multiple ribbons had materialized around his person. Many of them were white, signifying human souls. About half a dozen of them were red; these were linked to the souls of himself and other Shinigami around the city. What he was specifically looking for, was something he found and traced to its source in due time. Among these threads was a single black thread, belonging to the soul of a Hollow. Upon finding it, the young man grabbed it with his right hand, while using his left fore and middle fingers to point in the direction of its source. Apparently, this individual - with his seemingly high sensory capabilities - was currently acting as a conductor of some sort.
With this young man were several others, including a red haired girl in the red and white themed version of the same outfit he was wearing. She had a single katana tucked into the side of her waistband and unlike others, had slipped her arms out of the sleeves of the top so it hung over her hips and hakama. She had a look at this black haired young man and seemed to understand at least what he was doing. 'Hmm, I'll have to get him to show me how to do that sometime,' thought the redhead, but before she could say anything about it, a small green haired girl dressed in black and white seemed stunned. "Sugoi, Nomura-kun, that's a really advanced technique," said the young woman, who seemed to be really impressed. She had with her a device which would allow her to track the Hollow, but it seemed this group came equipped with someone with high enough sensory capabilities that it was unnecessary. "Alright everyone, it's time to go, be careful," said the green haired young woman, but instead of being anything close to careful the young redhead took off at a run hopping towards the direction the black haired young man had pointed, offering a gentle tap to his left shoulder as she passed him. "Nice job, Dai-kun~"
With the Hollow's location pinpointed, the young man narrowed his eyes to focus on the area it inhabited. It was on its way out of a dark alleyway, chasing down the spirit of a human recently murdered there. As the redhead passed him by and tapped his shoulder, the student named Daiki spoke. "Hai. Ikeike!" he said. After she passed, though, Daiki got a decent look at this human soul's thread. It was tainted, and graying as he watched. This caused the young man's eyes to widen. 'No! How short was his chain!?' Without any hesitation after realizing what this dimming thread meant, Daiki called out to the redhead once more. "Oi! Encroachment is finishing!"
Benihime didn't have to be told twice. Soon she would be on her way to the opening of an alley where a human soul was being chased out and a hollow was following it. There was a smirk on the girl's face, right before her body took off with the initial plan of killing the hollow, there was a comment from Daiki about the nature of the human soul which was being chased down by the beast. Her eyes darted around the area and she made a snap decision, a flip off the top of the building would occur and while she did this she drew her sword with her left hand, landing before the soul in the crouched position. The black blade of her weapon gleamed only for a second as the end of the hilt would tap against the forehead of the individual as she stood. "None of that, to the other side with you," the young woman said. A seal would appear on the forehead of this individual as it was stopped from its hollowfying process and sent to the Soul Society. As the soul disappeared from before her she drew her weapon the rest of the way and rammed it backwards into the hollow before looking up at it and aiming to drag the blade up and through its mask cleansing it of its sins.
Benihime was capable enough to handle the Hollowfying soul, as well as the Hollow itself. As such, Daiki was free to continue as he was. A steady watch on the threads around him kept him aware of other Hollows entering the radius of his sensing ability, which seemed to span the entire city. As they appeared here and there, he called out to the Gotei 13 member among their group, leaving her the ability to dispatch the others as necessary while his work continued. "Midorima-san! Two weaker Hollows fifteen meters west! Strong Hollow twenty-seven meters Southwest!"
