a tight situation. -OPEN-

[lily]

It was a early saterday morning nothing new going on around the town. Actually ever since these gates opened and things started to become strange the town seemed more silent then it had when she was younger. Or maybe it was just a simple fact people died and she was just to busy with her own little life to realize the other people that are still around. The streets are empty and a soft gust of wind is blowing threw making some wind chimes in the distance Jingle. the sky seems to be clear and the sun is just now starting to peak out letting the local area warm up a little at a nice slow pace. All in all to Kira it was a perfect morning. Before she came out she had woken up hair tangled up hands dirty and blood stains on her face.

But now she was cleaned up thanks to a empty house she had discovered a while ago. It had running water not warm but hey a person who had nothing could not complain right. Kira's eyes scanned the local area as she sat ontop of one of the roof tops. She was looking for something to eat but the people had grown smart and now locked up their fruits and market foods. Which made this a little hard. But soon the town would be waking up and the daily hustle and bussle would begin which made what she did all the more easy.

Kira hated doing what she did but had to admit she was damn good at it. She was a young thief, one who had a rather bad name for herself and was always on the run. This was the fourth town she had to move to in just the last six months since they became so dangerous for her to stay in.

As the sun rose above the skyline she watched as people began to come out from their homes, some going to work others setting things out to begin their long days. Dropping down from where she sat she landed softly making almost no sound. Her body was in all black and she looked to be a innocent little girl. She walked down the street a hood pulled over her head as she stared down at the ground. As she walked she caught sight of a rather rich looking male in a nice suit and walked towards him. As he passed by her she nudged him slightly and a hand came out from her pocket and snatched up his wallet from his back pocket.

She apologized to him and then took off. Leaping over a fence then scaling a building she was far away from where she had been only mere seconds ago before the male could even realize what really had happened. She sat down on top of a roof and opened the wallet she had just jacked from the guy. Their was some money in in not a whole lot but enough to last her a few days. Taking the cash she dropped the wallet and took off once more. She was not one to stay some where for a long period of time.

She went and bought a drink and a apple then walked down the road. she spent most of her day walking around buying snacks and drinks. which was usual for her actually since she was poor she could not live any where so she mostly just wandered around. Of course she was not alone she did have her soul companion who was by her side at all times. Though he really was not the talkative type. So she normally just wandered around slept ate and tried to find things to keep herself busy. It was a simple life, but her real goal was not to get rich or even find love but simply to find some one to train her so she could become a better fighter.

You see Kira is not just another human girl, she can sense what is going on around her which is bad because it draws alot of attention to her from what she calls ugly things, which really are hallows. Of course she is strong enough to deal with them but she has also found beings that she would be killed like a fly if she went against them. So that was the reason she wanted to become a better fighter and to enhance her knowledge in her own abilities.

As she walked she herd a loud crack sound behind her and she snapped back to reality breaking her thoughts and looked around. When she looked behind her she saw a hallow, one she had not seen before. Something was different with this one. It seemed stronger and much much more powerful then any other one she had encountered before. Looking around she found saw nothing but darkness. Which ment she had daydreamed most of her day away. Which was not shocking it was pretty much how every day went for her.

Looking to Taka which is the name of the black falcon who fallows her every where she nodded and focused. quickly Taka took form and turned into a pistol with duel chambers. grabbing the gun she spun the chamber and locked the hammer back sending three round right at the Hallow. Her eyes widened as it seemed to do nothing. She backed up and spun on her right foot. Taking off and grabbing the edge of a tree branch she pulled herself up, turning slightly so she could fire two more rounds at the creature. She was unsure of what to do at this point since it seemed her weapon was not going to make any effect in this form.

Leaping down from the tree she aimed herself so she would land just behind the Hallow. Her weapon changing shape during her leap, changing into a large crescent shaped sword. As she landed she brought the blade down adding all of her power into it. The blade slicing through easily. But when she looked she noticed it had left a mark but still the thing was Standing their. Like nothing happened. The Hallow turned and swung at her. Knocking her back hard enough that it knocked the wind out of her as her back collided with a tree.

Looking up she watched the Hallow and stared at it eyes wide. Some what scared now since it seemed she was not going to be able to beat this one. But she also could not just run either If she did this Hallow could hurt some one else or even hurt a child which she could not allow. But for now she just was not sure of what she could do. So she sat their catching her breath. Hoping she could figure something out soon.

Then a huge flash of red light flew towards the hollow , it vaporized half of the hollow only for it to be Replaced easily by the hollows high speed regenration, then using his sonido technique he appeared infront of the hollow as it moved forward toward the girl, Roronoa shook his head before what appeared to be a kick launched the hollow back and through the wall to see the building collapse ontop of it. he smiled before turning expecting the hollow to be finished, it jumped out of the reckage and sped towards the man, Without flinching he grabbed the hollows head and without a second thought crushed the mask in between his hand, it turned into powder and the hollow disolved into black dust, he then kicked the air sending what appeared to be a blue light across the building and street in a perfect line making it look almost Exactly like a gas explosion. he smiled happy with his work. he then reached into his pocket and brought out some earth chocolate, he then proceeded to eat it. it was delicious he loved the stuff couldnt get enough of it. he threw the wrapper over his shoulder completely oblivious to the girl and the falcon thing behind him. he watched as the humans crowded around the rubble and the street and he heard one man say "It was a gas Explosion, its nothing to worry about" he was wearing a blue uniform a funny hat and a Doghnut in his left hand, Roronoa disapeared and reapered within a few seconds when he did the man had no doghnut and roronoa was eating one.

Kira watched carefully, she was unsure of why this Hallow was so much stronger then any other she had faught before. Maybe with this gate being open they where growing stronger or something. In all honesty Kira figured she was as good as dead if she did not flee or come up with a good idea. Of course this would be easier said then done. But The sword quickly changed form and now in her hand was a small snub nosed shot gun. Leaping forwards and side stepping the Hallow she sent four shots at it. But for some reason it just regenerated after she fired. This was not looking good. She was not even making a dent in this damned thing.

Out of know where a attack came at the bastard of a hallow. The fight lasted only a few seconds and then was over. Kira sat their mouth open and eyes wide. She knew she was strong compared to humans but what ever this guy made her feel like she was as strong as a small ant. She watched as the Hallows mask was shattered and the thing vanished. So that was the key their mask was what gave them power. She smiled and turned to the guy. But before she could say anything to him he had vanished. She looked around a little trying to see where he had gone to. When she saw a few police officers she shook her head a bit and decided she just needed to get the hell out of this place before she was caught and this was all blamed on her.

The gun turned back into a falcon and she smiled as Taka landed on her shoulder. "Ight my friend lets get out of here before we get in trouble. " With that last single word spoken and took off running down the ally. At the end was a high fence and she quickly climbed up it and used it to launch herself up to a window ledge on a nearby building. She continued to leap from one roof to the next making her way as far as she could from the area. She reached a nice high roof a few minutes later and slowed her pace down. Looking around she let out a sigh and sat down.

"That was way to close... that thing was stronger then the others where Taka... I really am going to need to train harder or we are done for.. I mean that guy took it out like it was a fly.. and hear I was barely making so much as a scratch.. " She let out a soft sigh and laid back looking up at the sky. As Taka walked down her her arm and perched himself to her right. Looking around himself. The two of them snapping back to reality when they herd something near them make a cracking sound. Taka instantly taking the form of a pistol. Kira took grip and leaped up using a wall as support to be sure nothing could sneak up behind her.

She could not see a single thing but was also not willing to let her guard down and get into any more trouble then she had been in already today. The dark making it hard to see even though the moon was out she could not find anything that could have made the noise. Lowering her hand she looked around once more then sat back down. Taka going back to his normal form and perching on her shoulder. Shutting her eyes she yawns a little and tries to relax a little.

"Now now fleeing from the scene like that makes you look guilty... By the way the police may have handcuffs and the like but they have the best doghnuts." Roronoa said blankly as he ate the Doghtnuts, he was perched above on a Water tower on the roof, he noticed the girl and her falcon thing, he finished the doghnuts and pulled out more chocolate from his pockets. he dropped it towards her wondering whether she would take it or throw it at his head or run away again, so many paths this Encounter could take. he had caught up to the girl using an Ability called Sonido, it lets you travel extremely fast over short distances. he brought out a can of Coca cola from his pockets and opened it, the excess shot out of the can while most of the Delicious Acidic drink stayed in the Can and was promptly poured into his mouth. he was wearing a loose jacket Opened and you could see a whole in his chest and the number 75 emblazoned underneath it. he had white pants with black trim and a black waist band. his hear was going all over the place.

Kira's eyes snapped open when she herd some one speak from some where above her. Grabbing Taka in her hand he turned into a sword and in mere seconds she was on her feet. Looking up at him she examined him and tried to think. He was a arrancar, at least thats what she thinks he is. She had herd of them and by appearance she fit it perfectly although his personality was throwing her off. Stepping back she watched as he tossed down chocolate and she stared blankly and left it their. Looking back up at him she kept silent trying to figure out why he was here. She knew she would have no chance in fighting him, but evading him and getting away might work. But he did some how manage to get here with out her knowing and rather quickly. Which was odd.

"Who are you and what the hell do you want? " She spoke in a soft voice. Even though she yelled it it came out gentle and polite. Which was odd because most people asking this would sound rude. But she managed to make it all sweat and nice like. Taka reformed into his natural form and flew above her watching the person above her. She was not sure what to do right now and saw the only way to find anything out and to keep safe was to find out information. Which was going to be easy or impossible.

[fang]

Roronoa dropped from the derelict old water tower onto the hard floor lightly, he rolled his eyes at her Questions and simply replied "Seeing as you asked so polietly and charmingly in that wonderful way humans do ill tell you, my name is Roronoa Alex and im not exactly sure what im doing here im bored." he leant against the water towers support beams, and structure. their were many scars across his chest and he was wearing gloves and Two identical bone bands adorned his arms. he noted in his mind that this bird she owned could become weaponry, useful in the real world but it wouldnt do jack against him. Human weaponry dosnt only Zanpaktou or weapons of that nature could hurt him. He hand grabbed another bar of chocolate from his pockets and ate it square by square he had about 4 left the rest were Coca Cola cans which were probably shook up. he smiled confidently and happily he stretched his arms and legs before returning to watching the girl. he Knew that he could catch her and in a fight he was probably stronger.

Kira was a little nervous, she hated when she felt helpless and it happened alot lately. Why did she have to be so small and helpless in these kinds of matters. Taka now was perched on her shoulder watching the male as well. He had a odd feeling about him, luckily for Kira and himself this stranger did not know what their power was only that Taka was able to change shapes into weapons. But did no know the power that could be released and what the transformations actually did to Kira. Which the two planned on keeping a secret until needed. But so far their was no real threat the two just had to be careful. Which was easy long as this thing before them was not here to kill them.

"Your a Arrancar... You shouldnt be here.. iv herd your kind is violent and ruthless so if I seem a little on edge im sure you can understand.. " She was unsure of even why she was talking to him, but for some reason she felt like she was fine and had nothing to worry about. But her mind told her otherwise. She took notice of his habbit... eating chocolate that was. It was odd why would some one like him eat human food.. Dont they eat souls or something like that.

[fang]

"Oh yes because one of us is mean and violent whatever all of us must be mean and violent its a 100% probablity, " Roronoa said sighing his smile was gone as he sat down leaning on the Structure of the water tower again, he hated when people Sterotyped things. he threw all of his wrappers and cans off of the roof, he noticed she was wearing a black tank top, a Black skirt and black boots and Worn out tatty leather gloves of some sort, . "Very gothic clothing tastes" He thought to himself he wondered why the hollow had been interested in her, normal Riatsu levels for a human, her fighting skills were new but not that shabby and she was athletic and what some would say beautiful. he merely shook his head before straightening his short hair, it was blowing everywhere and it was annoying him a tad.

[lily]

Well this guy was odd.. thats all she could think, one little thing said and here he was all upset. what kind of demon being was this? It all left Kira some what confused. She quickly went back to normal though as a shadow formed behind her. Taka noticed it too and quickly was changing into Kira's favorite weapon. a Pistol with a long barrel, silver handle and a soft red aura forming around it as she smiled and spun around. She figured this Arrancar took her for a weakling or something. But she also had not faught the Hallow before with her actual energy put into her weapon. With her thumb she locked the hammer back, faced where the shadow had come from and looked to see another Hallow this one though a little smaller. She could not believe how many where coming around lately.

She fired of six rounds and leaped forward, using a support beam above herself to catch herself on, she quickly scaled the metal beams and Taka changed form again. Holding a Bow now in her hand she looked down at the the Hallow she aimed for its mask and sent forth a arrow of her own energy mixed with Taka's as well. As it collided with the mask the mask vaporized and the Hallow turned to dust. As a soft gust of wind blew by the dust blew away and she dropped back down onto the Hard cement roof top. Taka taking form again and took off to search the area for any more possible threats. She was getting tired of this, it seemed two or three a day where attacking her now. it was odd to because never before had their been so many.

"This is not good... where are they all coming from.... err stupid things are annoying." She let out a soft sigh and sat down watching the sky waiting for Taka to come back. Looking back at Roro she smiled and waited on him to say something, she almost forgot he was their. But luckily no hopefully he was thinking she was not weak and would not make some kind of unexpected attack. "Oh sorry Im Kira... and the falcon is Taka. "

"There the souls of the dead whose chains were broken, the Breaking of the chain in itself is Extrodinarily painful. then they lose control of their bodys their inner hollow taking over but their personality will eventually shine through. when hollows eat enough souls they become something known as menos Grande, the Ruling class of hollow, the first one the weakest and the most high in numbers, are the Gillian their pretty pathetic really, the next ones Adjuchas they are Strong they can fire cero's they are the red beam you saw earlier, they are middle numbers and fight amongst themselves , when they eat each other they become stronger thats what happens with the gillian, the Fabled rank of Menos Grande is Vasto Lorde these are human sized but if you ever see one up close you better say your prayers because theirs absolutely no one that can stop them. I took a way out i was an Adjuchas untill a man came to me and offered me power and my memories back, i took it and gained power and my those memories and here i am." Roronoa said sighing and coughing.

[lily]

Stares blankly at the man. Having no clue really about anything he said. So she just shook her head. Unsure of what to say as a comment back to what he had to say. She gave a soft smile and stood back up and walked over to the edge of the building and dropped down. Landing a few stories below on a window sill and then dropped down the rest of the way. Looking back up she checked to see if he was going to follow or not. The reason she left was that Taka found a place that was a little safer and she was getting cold so figured it would be a good idea to start heading back towards her home. Which she figured he could fallow her to if he wanted but she simply could care less. She was cold and hungry and had warmth and food back at where she stayed. Though it was not a nice house or anything it was easy access and she could not complain.

"Well you coming? For being so powerful you sure are moving slow." She said with a hint of sarcasm behind it. Trying to lighten things up was her way of life. She understood that these times where rough but she did not want to ruin her life by being serious all of the time. And plus she had a mission one which she was going to have to complete before she could let herself just die. And trust me that was going to be something that took a while. Being so picky and all made it rather hard. But she knew one day she would find exactly what it was she was looking for.

It took a short time but she reached the safe zone Taka had found. Kicking the door to a old warehouse she watched it splinter and fall back then walked inside and looked around. Taka landed on her shoulder. "Not bad Taka pretty cozy haha."

[fang]

Roronoa watched as the girl and falcon walked away jumping off the building and continued to some destination or other, figuring it would be boring otherwise he used sonido and after she kicked the door down he was already past her inside the building, the building was a warehouse, it had many boxes and crates and shelves littered around abandoned apprently. this is where Roronoa was sat ontop of one of the boxes smiling at her as she said the remark. "What was that about moving slow ? " he laughed moving his hair out of his eyes, looking around most of the boxes had been picked clean by scavengers but the highest up ones were safe due to having no way up safely.

Suddenly he heard a huge blood thirsty roar, it was a hollow of some sort but it was changing from a spirit into a hollow half the mask was formed the chain broken and the hole in his chest was Starting to open. soon it will Know only rage and suffering and hunger. he sighed before drawing his blade and walking towards the soul slowly. his sword scraping on the ground as he did so, he raised the blade up and as soon as the hollow became in full control over the soul he sighed and stabbed, cutting through the mask and most of his body he then said "Rest In Peace" he sighed after the dead was done and walked slowly to the crates, he wasnt happy you could see it in his eyes he didnt like killing souls. he sat back on the crates and shook his head all the humour from before was gone.
