The Hunted (Open)

[Kigira Hensai]

Kigira was down but not out, he had been running most of the night with his left arm broken and cuts all over the body, his Haori had been ripped apart and the top half of his clothes had been torn from the rest of uniform.

Kigira was resting on a tree when he heard a rustling behind him, he knew this wasn't human or a shinigami otherwise he would be able to sense it.

nothing seemed real at this point he had been ambushed by several hundred hollows all at once he only just escaped and he feared they were still after him and he couldn't defend himslf.

Kigira continued to limp on, he was now starting to get a mixture of reitsu readings but he was so weak he couldn't tell them apart from friend or foe but he could now tell that someone was there to help him but who, he couldn't tell so he just carried on limping on just trying to get away but some rustling was getting closer.

[Koori]

Koori was the one rustle behind him but the hollow were hot on his trail.He managed to get ahead of Kigira. Koori restiu was different becuase his body features and mind and split between an animals and a reapers. The hollows rawred behind him.Koori stoped and grabbed Kigira.

He take this.

Koori gave Kigira a pill for body damaged that was given to him from the research devision. Koori put his hand on his sword and waited for the hollow to get closer.

[Kigira Hensai]

"Thank you Captain Koori, i really needed that."

Although he couldn't feel the pain anymore he still couldn't move his left arm, he pressed the button under his left peck and grabbed his sword off his back and took a stance.

"Come on you hollow scum"

suddenly a hundred hollow appeared in a circle around the two Captains, there looked like nothing would stop them from attacking and in his weakened state he won't be able to take out all of them.

"What next then"

[Koori]

" We kill them.......I dont think they are worth our swords release, are they? "

The hollows rawred called the rest from arroces the forest. Hoolows of all sizs and abilitys curiled the two and closing in. Koori legs was injured from the posion hollow that was following him when he was trying to help Kigira

" You hollows annoy me. "

He gripped his sword and dissappred. Three hollows dropped died then he reappered back to back with Kigira

[Kigira Hensai]

"Three down, a whole bunch to go"

Several Hollows attacked Kigira, he gets out of the way of most of them but one gets a swipe across his chest, Kigira retaliated with a good hard swing then went throughthe hollow that cut him and then through another one that was under it before landing on his feet and regained his stance.

"And then there where a hundred, We can't do much here it is far to open for our weakened state, So come on lets move"

Kigira put his zanpakutou back into the clamp on his back and grabbed Koori by his collor and started to run for it, the sound of roars started to get lower then with a mighty crash another hollow appeared it was a gillian.

"Oh crap what are we gonna do now"

[[-{Soul=Less}-]]

The forest isn't always the best place to be wandering around. Hollows had taken this place over and seem to attack anything that wandered past. Luckily, nearly every hollow here would take the silent approach before attacking all out. This gave a third Shinigami some leeway to get closer to their battle.

This new girl didn't look too plain. She wore the shinigami garbs and a nice captains haori with a pink underside. The symbol on the back denoted the number three and her peculiar hair style of ice cream cones showed she was Alexia Hensai, captain of squad 3.

Walking through the millions of trees with her arms raised above her head, she had little idea that any hollows were actually near her. More or less, they were all fleeing towards a different location. That she could sense.

"what luck... seems their all running away from me"

She continued walking on and jumped at the sound of a huge roar followed by an explosion. She quickly leapt into a tree and surveyed her surroundings. She couldnt see a thing though because of a giant black wall in the way.

"hang on... giant black walls in a forest?"

She quickly leapt upwards again to get an even better view. This huge wall would provide a decent viewpoint. Once she got to the top, it began to sway. Looking down, she could see a relatively large white pointy thing moving up and down, firing red beams at the ground.

Out of stupidity, Alexia twitched. What a stupid mistake. It was blatantly a gillian that needed to be taught better hiding places. With that set in her mind, she yanked her sword from behind her hip and stabbed the top of its forehead.

"Reap their souls, Zazabellou!"

A bright light shone from her direction stunning the air around her. Hollows looked up at the light as the sound of thunder began to ricochet off the clouds. As the light faded, the Menos had all but dissipated leaving her standing on ground level with a massive scythe in her hand, slumped over her right shoulder. As she opened her eyes form the light, she could see two men standing before her, one looking rather thrashed to pieces.

"eh?...."

At the sight, she burst into tears and dropped her scythe to the floor. Leaping liek some bird thing, she tackled her brother to the floor and hugged him tightly screaming random words that made very little sense apart from "you" and "fool" and "waaaaah"

[Rijuen]

From out of no where 10 more hollows disappated, a darkened figure was dashing between the hollows each time it stopped for a meer second another 3 hollows started disappating, a small flash of white each time the figure stopped told the three captains that this shadowy figure was friend and a fellow captain. Suddenly there were no movements, the hollows stopped disappearing but instead turned to face a new direction. As they were moving away only one thing was heared.

Bleed, Judine

Most of the hollows that had turned away to the new direction fell instantly, the shadowy figure was on the move again this time was heading straight for the group of captains, at the last instance the figure jumped over the trio on the ground and sliced through a hollow that was making a grab for them. The figure then appeared infront of Kigira and Alexia, facing away from them swords poised for more combat, he then turned his face slightly to look at the trio.

I hope you don't mind if i crash this party, oh and you might want to change your calculations there Kigira, i believe its more like 40 down only about 600 left.

With that he smirked and turned to face the hollows again.

[Koori]

When Alexia pounced on Kigira , Kigira still had his hand on Kooris collar. Koori started to chock .The hollows seemed to be getting smarter and smarter. Suddenly a large burst of spritual pressure was felt infront of them. Koori snapped himself free from the Collar and stood strait up looking for what could be a new arrancar. A gaint vine was sent at him from behind." There!!!" Koori sliced the vine into thousands of small peices.
More rawrs were heard and much more large masses of spritual pressure. This could have onle meant there are mroe arrancar to deal with but every time a arrancar came more gillian came.

" I didnt want to have to release my sword on such weak beings." Koori laied his hand lightly on his sword and held it in front of him, then with atwist of the wrist it turned towards the ground.

" Howl In The Night, Fuyu" The blade turned into dust and circled Koori like it was watching every being around him.

[Kigira Hensai]

"I'm ok now Alexia you can get off me now i can't let them have all the fun"

Kigira gets to his feet with Alexia still strapped around his neck. He slowly eases her off and walks towards Koori he rummaged around in his pocket and found another pill. He ate it without hesitation. For some reason he felt even better.

"Lets get down to business"

Kigira uses his Shunpo and lands on Rijuens shoulder and pushes off from it, his arm now felt better and because of the pill he could move it again he places the zanpakutou in his left hand and throws it towards his right arm and whispers.

"Spin, Dragozine"

A large burst of reitsu came from his body, Kigira put his zanpakutou in the air and poured his reitsu into it, he swung his sword towards a bunch of hollow and released a wave of wind towards them taking out about 7 of them, he landed on one knee, then looked up and shouted.

"I WON'T FALL ON MY KNEES AGAIN"

[[-{Soul=Less}-]]

"yay he's back to normal!" Alexia skipped along towards her zanpakutou that still sat on the floor after her little episode on kigira. As she wandered over, a larger hollow trod on her blade as she bent to pick it up. An innocent "eh?" passed her lips as she looked up. The creature fell backwards to the floor after being pummeled by winds from behind her. Turning around, she could easily see her brother was getting into the gist of thngs.

"I better do my best too" Alexia reached down and grabbed her scythe from the floor. A minute of spinning the weapon around her fragile body followed. Then, as a hollow leapt onto her, the blade shot forwards like lightning, with the sounds of thunder. The creature quickly disappeared with a roar. Alexia still kept a childish grin when slaying these monsters. Another beast stood before her and watched as it's fellow hollow disolved. Alexia stared with sympaphy and as always, came up with the ultimate single word response to give this mourning monster. "oopsie..."

[Rijuen]

Heh exactly what I'd expect from a captain of your... Erm finess Kigira, however you seem to have become rusty, let me show you how it should be done.

With that Rijuen lept forward leaping over Kigira's head, almost kicking him in the face, and impaling several hollows with each sword at once.

Heh oops maybe a bit to over confide...

Rijuen was unable to finish his sentence before being smashed to the ground by an invisible hand or claw, as Rijuen smashed into a tree, it topled falling towards Alexia, Rijuens swords were also sent flying and stuck into a tree 20 yards away.

[Kigira Hensai]

"AERIAL EDGE"

another wave of wind burst through the tree splitting it straight down the middle making each half go either side of Alexia, he smiled at her and whispered,

"I am always here for you"

with that he goes over to Rijuen and grabs his hand and pulls him to his feet, then pulls Rijuen's head next to his and whispers ever so quietly,

"If you are the cause of danger for Alexia again, because of your slightly big headedness, I will kill you"

Kigira then pulls his sword back then thrusts it in the direction of Rijuen going between his body and arm impaling a hollow behind him, then turns away from Rijuen and again shoots an wave of wind towards the mass of hollows this time even stronger taking out 10 before shunpoing behind Rijuens back.

"Lets not hold back anymore, don't you agree Rijuen"

[[-{Soul=Less}-]]

"oh... everyone is doing so well. Do I really need to be here?"

Alexia grabbed her scythe and launched it into a tree. She then leapt onto it like a bat and hung upside down and attempted to fall asleep. Sadly, a hollow had leapt in front of her with its claws primed. Its arm crashed into the tree causing it to explode under the pressure. Soon, the hollow roared and fell to pieces as blood shot from all directions on its body. Once it fell, Alexia stood still with her scythe crashing to the floor with a loud clang. She looked down and chuckled to herself.

"heh...hehe... i dropped it again..."

Then, she dashed forwards, grabbing her scythe and spinning it around her body before lunging towards the hollows Rijuen and kigira were staring at.

"Lets go... ZAZABELLOU!"

Her scythe screeched out with a loud thunder clap that sent her scythes blade shooting forwards. Alexia kicked the floor hard and span her body while the blade was out. The cutting edge was then span around the entire clearing smashing through trees and hollow alike. It even seemed as though she cared not fort hose standing with her. The blade seemed to move closer and closer to the other captains even though no hollows were standing that close to them.

[Rijuen]

I couldn't agree more, just allow me to get my swords down would ya.

Rijuen leaped up towards his swords, dodging one hollow that attempted to swat him out of the air, but he nearly flew into two others.

Ah crap.

Rijuen put his hands over his head bracing himself for an impact, but by some miraculous luck, he flew straight through the hollows soul hole. When Rijuen looked back up to his swords, he saw a hollow croaching ontop of them.

Either you kindly move and i kill you later quickly, or you stay there and i blast each of your limbs off one by one. Your decision.

The hollow just sat there and roared at Rijuen.

Have it your way then, Carriage of Thunder. Bridge of a spinning wheel. With light, divide this into six.

Rijuen spoke this incantation very quickly, as soon as he had finished it, six bars of yellow light shot straight at the hollow and stuck it around the waste paralyzing it.

That should hold you but just be be extra sure, as i don't want you getting hurt before i finish of the others.

Rijuen drew a triangle in the air infront of him facing the hollow, the lines stayed and each corner became pointed towards the hollow.

Bakudou 30 Shitotsu Sansen.

The triangle shot at the hollow pinning it against the tree by its arms and groin area. Rijuen then floated over his swords, tore them out of the tree, tapped the hollow on the mask.

Now don't you go anywhere you hear me?

Rijuen just smirked and shunpo'd off landing next to Kigira.

You ready then my friend?

[Kigira Hensai]

"Of course i am look at who you are speaking to, we have been friends since the academy you should know me by now, and now we are back to back i say we do what we did in the academy when all those bullies thought they where hard"

Kigira looked over his shoulder and smirked at Rijuen.

"Divide and Conquer"

with that he got away from Alexia's attack and Rijuen and went straight through the hollows not killing any just dodging until he got to the outer rim of the hollows, then a thought came to Kigira and with a confident smile he looked at Rijuen and shouted.

"How long till you can use that technique ?"

He gave a cheeky wink.
