Care for a Cup of Tea? (Open to Anyone)

It was within a rural part of Asia, in a place where there was barely a large population, a village which depended on the production of food within its own boarders rather than just trading with nearby villages. Bodies laid everywhere, not one person survived the carnage that one being had brought the people as every soul within the village had been devoured. A man sat in the middle of a village, a long table set up with multiple chairs running along the sides while there was one at the head where the man sat and one at the other side. Various tea pots and other things were riddled along the table as the man sat there, drinking from a cup before a light sigh came from him. "Nothing like a spot of tea during the middle of the day." He said, motioning towards one of the lifeless bodies using the cup before he poured what remained in the cup down his throat with a soft sigh. "Let's see now... Why did I come here?" He asked himself, he was one of the more independent arrancar since he was given a job that only needed his attention every once in a while.

"I can't remember... Must be the tea. It's very good and addicting. Might make anyone question how much time they could give to just drinking a cup of tea." He said, his hand tipped his hat slightly as a breeze kicked up, his body became surrounded in a violet aura as power washed out through the village. He intentionally released just enough of his power to act like a radar, sending out light pings of his strange reiatsu to see if he could pick up any stragglers nearby.

A circle of light appeared within the sky and slowly it started to widen out and takes the form of a sliding door and they slowly opened to show a waiting room. A black butterfly hovered out as a black outline appeared at the door and walked out as the doors closed behind him.

Spoiler:

A golden haired man walked the street with little to worry over. He wore a white shitagi, a black kosode, a black hakama, a white hakama-himo, white tabi, and waraji. Lee also wore an armband which carries a symbol on his left arm. As he came upon the village it was more than obvious that something needed to be done. He slowly made his way closer to the village as he held his hands at his sides as attacking just anything wasn't on his list for the moment.

Senetue sat there smiling, his eyes closing as he brought his cup to his lips and took a nice drink from the cup that finished it off. He sat it back down on the tea plate and his hand traveled a little ways from him to grab a small plate of bread and one of butter. He took it and spread the butter on the bread before he ate from it as he downed the bread. His hand brought his napkin up to his mouth to clean off the crumbs as he poured another cup for himself while moving the plate away with his feet. "This is delicious! Almost as yummy as the humans here." Senetue said, smiling brightly as he drank from the cup in his hand, not paying much mind to the person who had just shown up.

Lee continued into the village and was greeted by corpses. Pluses here and there, confused and baffled. He would have a world of work after the original problem was taken care of. He might not have been a part of the soul society but it was still a job as a shinigami to send the souls over to make his job and destroying of hollows to be a thing of the past.

He let himself come to a slow stop as he held his hands out to the side as a light swirl of purple spiritual energy as his Zanpakuto scythe formed in his grasp. He slashed it forward and pointed the tip at a building and spoke "Hadō number four, Byakurai."

A concentrated lighting bolt was generated from the blade of his weapon as he spoke the spells name and let forth the bolt to destroy the building and what he would hope to be the culprit that committed the crime

Spoiler:

Senetue just sat there, his eyes closed as he leaned back in his chair and continued to sip on the tea he had in his cup. He hadn't taken notice to the building near him being destroyed as a lightning bolt ripped through it and through half of his table and chairs. Lee would be met with the sight of a fellow wearing a top hat sitting at a table drinking tea. There were absolutely no pluses near him, most of them along the outside of the village at this time while a few stragglers were moving. A good amount of souls weren't even hear since the amount of pluses wasn't even half as big as the population of bodies. "Well now..." Senetue said, gulping what was left in his cup before setting it down. His head leaning back to reveal small tear drop shaped pieces of bone beneath his eyes. His orange hair blocking his eyes indefinitely making it hard to see them as a smile formed on his face. "Looks like I have some company for tea. Care to sit down and drink with me?"

Lee slowly let his scythe lower itself down as the damage had been done as he wanted. He let himself take his newly found shortcut through the rubble and carefully made sure to step on the safer parts of the debris. When he finally made it to the other side with the other man, he held his weapon at his side as he listened to him speak of having a drink.

Lee slowly shook his head as he then spoke "I am not one to be drinking in the midst of my job." He raised his scythe out to his side "So, if you would stand, since I didn't have the patience for a surprise attack from behind, I would rather you stand before I start."

Senetue looked towards the man as he made his appearance known as the smile grew to the point that his shark like teeth were visible. He heard him mention not being one to drink during his job and also if he could stand up since he didn't have the patience for a surprise attack. "But tea is good for you. It relaxes the nerves and allows you to think more clearly than rushing into something that you don't know of." He said, pulling a new tea kettle from his hat which he poured the steaming, hot tea into his cup. He sat the tea kettle down before placing his hat on his head before his smile instantly turned into an emotionless look. "Rarely anyone likes to drink tea with me. It's a delicious beverage but so many people disregard it as being nasty. There is plenty of room at the table for you if you wish to have a cup." Senetue said, ignoring Lee's words on standing up to fight.

Lee continued to watch the other man with not much change in his posture as he continued to listen to what it was he was saying. He didn't rightly think he was right in the head at this point because all of the signs seemed to point toward that. He let out a low breath from his lips but before he replied, he heard the sound of someone else.

He slowly turned his head to the side as his his gaze then came to find another person but this one had a different spiritual pressure but this one seemed more like something he knew. "So I am going to assume the two of you do not know one another?"

Senetue looked down at the hot cup as if enticed by it before he brought it up to his lips and began to drink from it. He released a soft sigh as he took the cup away from his lips just as some one new arrived in the area which caused him to chuckle. "Of course tea! Tea is all that one needs!" He said, looking to the newcomer before turning his gaze towards the one who had destroyed half of the table. "Of course not but everyone can meet with a cup of tea." He said, shifting as he took two new cups out of his hat while lifting the kettle with his feet and expertly pouring it. He filled the two cups up before sending them out, pushing them towards two random spots on the table before he smiled to the two. "Have a cup. You will find that it's quite delicious"

Lee slowly let his attention turn itself back toward the tea sipping man. He then listened as he spoke of having tea and then getting to know one another. Lee waited for a moment as he then looked back toward the haori wearing shinigami and then listened to him speak.

After he finished and spoke about letting him take care of the situation, Lee drew his scythe back and aimed it at the tea man and a concentrated lighting bolt was generated from the blade of his weapon as he let forth the bolt to destroy the table, the tea and the man without another word. It was all pointless banter and trying to think about having tea in a place like this.

Spoiler:

Senetue looked towards the man in the haori as a smile appeared on his face as he was about to speak to him before suddenly there was an explosion. Smoke flew out in every direction as the table and tea sets that had been put out were destroyed. Yet a figure just sat there in the smoke, his black outline visible before the smoke blew away to reveal the man with his top hat on. "They didn't want any tea so I decided to hear them scream." Senetue said, smiling softly as if nothing had happened as not even a mark had been left on the individual as he sat there. His hand brought up his cup as he drank from it before he allowed it to fall to the ground and shatter there. Slowly he shifted, standing up as he brought his hand to his hat and tipped it a little more. "My, my such a mess... What should I do about it?" His hand rose as a violet orb appeared in his hand, it slowly swelled before he pointed it down the rode. Then quickly he released it, sending a violet beam towards the woman who had happened across them.

Lee watched as his kido did damage but it wasn't anything to the one that he was targeting. He watched as the dust settled and the man sat there. Lee kept his scythe pointed in the direction of the man as he spoke about something or another. Lee let out a low breath as it was starting to become more a pain than he originally thought.

He watched as the purple orb swelled and Lee glared as he thought of another spell. He slapped both his hands onto the handle of the scythe as a blue spiritual energy was generated and fires it as a concentrated blast at the man as he attacked. But by the time he released his attack, Lee didn't take notice to the girl but at the point, he couldn't do anything and at the point, it would have been to late.

Spoiler:

Jin was starting to get ticked off at all this random violence but it slowly became apparent to him that the man sipping to was everyones enemy at that point so he didn't really care. As Jin's long black hair fell in his face over his bright red eyes he bit his lip harder and his right hand gripped the handle of his Zanpakuto as if needing to be able to defend on a whim. He watched as the other shinigami fired another shot of Kido at the table destroying more of it while the man just sat there and sipped more tea then out of no where he stood up and broke his tea cup, pointed in a direction and fired off a beam which he heard collide with a building, with that action Jin sprung into action. He held his palm toward the tea sipping man and a red ball of light gathered in his palm before it was promptly shot off straight at the man.

Senetue hadn't taken his eyes off of the others, his eyes gazing down at Lee as he fired his Cero while Lee fired his Kido. Once the beam was from his hand, he was effectively engulfed in the beam, his form disappearing behind the kido. Once it had over passed he had moved a couple feet to the right, his eyes looking to Lee before turning towards Jin. His arm moved, swinging his hand as he back handed the orb, sending it flying in the direction of one of the buildings. "Faster." He said, his body leaning forward before he promptly flew at Jin like a rocket. His right hand's palm facing to the left as all of his fingers were stiff next to each other. He was meaning to spear his hand straight through Jin, to pierce his stomach with it as he was attempting to get rid of them one at a time.

Lee watched as his attack was thrown out at the man but watched as it was seemingly in effective. He sneered as it was something he was not expecting, not in the least. He would have to switch from the offense to the defense as he moved at them. But in the instant, the man was gone and Lee looked over his shoulder to see that he was attacking the former captain.

This was both going down hill for a number of reasons. If it was just Lee and the man, things would go downhill. To go at the captain to try and destroy him first over Lee was only good in a sense. Lee quickly whipped around as he slashed his scythe across the air as he used another kido.

This time, a orange spark emitted from the tip of the blade as soon after, what was generated was an orange hued tendril with spiraling yellow patterns to try and ensnare the opponent as the tendril would wrap around the man. He would be of more use this way by targeting the man and having the kido take chase by aiming his weapon in the direction he may flee.

He had to ignore the human girl that was coming up on them for the moment, all he would be able to do at the moment would try and capture the man to make sure the human wasn't hurt, being one of the only few survivors of the village it seemed.

Spoiler:

Senetue felt like these people were underestimating him at this point since he had spent his entire life doing nothing more than fighting. He was stronger than these things that were flung at him, he was once a God-King and now he was so much more. He was stronger than he was letting on at this point, dancing about as his hand still went for his target but his body contorted. He seemed to unnaturally shift, cracking sound ringing out as he bent to the point of it being unnatural around the blade. Next was the tendril along with the kido that his target had generated. He grunted, his body seemingly disappearing the very second it touched the ground, reappearing behind Jin as the ground blew in forming a crater before he disappeared once again. "Slow... Too slow..." His voice rang out, his body appearing before momentarily disappearing as he moved about the three while maintaining his high speed movements to keep away from Lee. If the situation called for it, he would become serious with the three and show them a world beyond belief.

Lee watched as his kido went straight and true...and into nothing. The tendril went to snatch around where the man once was but he disappeared into thin air to the point where it was of no use. He glanced from one side to the other but finally back to the former captain and could only watch as it seemed they didn't have a very set plan.

"Jin Kurai, are you alright?" He cut his scythe in front of him as the tendril quicky turned and took chase after the man, turning in the direction of the newest spot he would appear at only to turn shortly after to head to the next. The man would slip up at some point and Lee would make it a point to get him. But if he kept up this speed, Lee would have to match it with his own but he could only hope to hold that off for just a bit longer.

But suddenly, his thoughts began to get more than a bit muffled, a sudden sound slowly started to flow into his ears and his movments started to get seemingly slower. He tried to keep a straight line of thought but it was becoming more than difficult as he turned himself to face the reason, a girl with a keyboard blade. He would have to shut her up soon

Senetue continued to move about quickly, seemingly no slip ups within his movements as he would randomly disappear and appear elsewhere behind them. Some times he would be on the ground, some times he would be on a roof and other times he would be smack dab right in their face. Yet a tune began to disorient him, he felt himself slowing, his eyes losing focus for a moment as his speed began to waver. What was once quick as lightning had slowed down a considerable amount and it became noticeable that he was getting angry. It wasn't long before Senetue pretty much stopped, stopping at the right angle for Lee to be behind the girl who was causing the problem. "Stop... IT!" He yelled, he was getting angry at the sound, his eyes had taken on a deep red color as his chest puffed out and his mouth opened. Quickly a violet orb formed and swelled in a near instant as he amassed quite a bit of his reiatsu behind this cero. Then in an instant he launched it at the group, not concerned with the kido anymore. Even if one got out of the way of the blast, the others would need to move or get swallowed by the beam of energy.
