Running to his next class Tyson couldn't stop thinking of that conversation between that girl and the strange guy with the white coat"I have to know whats going on.....Oh man i hope this doesnt end up like the last school i went to" Tyson then thought back to the time when he was being chased by a hollow.
It was a average winter night and he'd just left from hanging with his friends. it was almost 10 o' clock and he knew that his parents were gonna freak if he didnt get home soon. As he turned the corner he saw a huge monkey-like snake creature and it was looking straight at him. "Wha-what is that thing", he yelled as it headed for him. Tyson jumed behind the building and started panicing"Okay, okay tyson this is all in your head your gonna peep your head out and it wont be there"he convinced. Looking out he saw nothing, tyson gave a sigh then layed back on the wall."See nothing there i told you there wasnt......" just as he was about to relax a huge pit of slim fell on him. Tyson paused for a moment then looked up only to see the "demon or hollows" whatever you wanna call them preparing to take a huge bite. Tyson rolled out of the way and ran straight ahead to the school gym. "NOOOOO!!!!!!! NOT LIKE THIS I CANT DIE!! As he entered the gym he closed the door behind him"What was i thinking like a 20 foot monster is gonna use the door" as he finished the statment a bright red light blinded him, then there was a hug explosion knocking the wall down as well as tyson. Aproaching him slowly the hollow began to open his mouth preparing to eat him. tyson crawled away pleading for him life"get away stop nooooooooo" as he reach his hand out he unknowingly shot two fireballs one at the hollow and one at the gym hurting the hollow and burning down the school. Coming back he saw his next class (class 2 A )......... |
Ryu got to class only a bit late. He didn't even have a pass, but the teacher accepted him anyway. Thank goodness! He took his seat and flipped open his notes book for this section - Math. This was always his weak spot, though. He liked History much, much more that Maths or Sceinces. He looked up as another kid ran in after him. Now this kid wouldn't get sympathy. The teacher glared at the male student before pointing to the two buckets in the back of the room. "Stand outside until your arms fall off." Ryu felt a few leers on him as the thought 'teacher's pet' ran through a few student's minds. He would ignore it, though. He didn't need to react to their looks. |
Ash ran quickly, literally skidding to a stop as she entered and grabbed onto the door jam. She flushed, bowing slightly to the teacher. “So sorry….” She murmured softly, embarrassed at the fact she’d nearly fallen. She knew she was likely going to be in trouble… but it would be worth it…she hoped…She ran a hand up and down her arm, frowning lightly as she hung her head in shame. A bit of her red hair that as always would not stay in the bun was falling around her face.
The teacher frowned, two students late? Not at all impressed with this generation of students the teacher pointed towards a second pair of buckets. For a moment Ash closed her eyes, not being very strong of arms but good at ignoring things too….. The tests they ran on her required her to be able to just ignore her body… Ash nodded and ignoring the occasional amused look from the students as she gripped the buckets. She gave Ryu a sad smile and a helpless shrug before taking the buckets and walking out to the hall. She closed her eyes, taking in a deep breath and hold out her arms with a bucket in each. Focusing she ignored everything, simply standing. She would not be aware of time passing really though of course her arms would tremble slightly after long enough… |
Dante had succeeded in escaping the lime light. He relaxed, lazing back on one of the many tall buildings in the area. The sun showed bright in the chilly day, keeping his warm enough. Even if he was a hollow, he didn't like the cold. He'd be fine if he was the big sized Dante, but at the same time, it made him an easier target to sense. This chibi Dante usually was passed by as a very low class hollow. He sighed heavily, closing his eyes and folding his hands over his chest, letting his stress melt away and turn to peace. That was all that he wanted right now. Well, that and a good bottle of Gin. |
Conri left the school, hoping he could handle this hollow situation before he had to go back to the school. It would be a problem to find him if he didn't take precautions before he got away. He stopped on top of a building and chanted, "Bakudou 58: Kakushitsuijyaku"
"Captain I have the target in sight. Do you want me to take him out?" his subordinate asked. "No! If you face him you will die. If not by the hollow then it will be by me." "Yes sir!" "So where is he?" "He's right on the building next to the one I'm on" "be right there." That was when he headed in the direction of his ally, and also the direction of the hollow. |
Dante winced at the sensation. And unpleasant sensation. Shinigami... the same damned Shinigami, too. They never fricken gave up! He sighed heavily, though stayed perfectly still. Aa game of cat and mouse would not work here. That captain would call for back up if his sissy self couldn't keep up. Then Dante would really be screwed, no wouldn't he? Let them come. He would only have to give the Shinigami and offer he, hopefully, would not refuse. Perhaps if he got on the bastard's good side, he would be able to run free still. |
When Conri got there he could sense the hollow but went straight to his lackey. "Sir, you ready to take down this thing?" "Well I'm ready." Conri told him. "What?! But!" "No But! Just stay out of it." Conri demanded.
His subordinate nodded his head and stayed on the building he was on while Conri went to face the hollow. When he landed on the building he didn't try to hide himself or anything. He just walked over to the boy and said, "Hi, my name is Conri. Would you mind introducing yourself?" |
"Darf ich?" Dante said out loud before pushing himself up and staring boldly at the Shinigami Captain. He hummed for a long moment, tapping his chin in an animated fashion. "Nein, danke. Sie sind zu dumm, um die Kompliziertheit umzufassen, die ich ist." He grinned cockily to the Shinigami before falling back onto the roof once more, relaxing without a worry. "In case you can't translate, I just called you a huge dyke. Now get lost and go put a dress on or something." Well, no. That wasn't what he said. But it was always good to fool with one's head. Who really spoke German these days? Who even knew enough German to translate large words into Japanese? Really... ( 'May I?' - 'No, Thank you.' - 'You are too silly to comprehend the complexity that is I.' ) |
"Ok, enough with the insults. I'm just trying to be nice." He keeled down to be eye leave with the boy. "Aber Dummheit ist so ein starkes Wort. Warum sagen Sie nicht, bei der keine Kenntnisse?" He stood back up and said, "My name is Conri Esmund and I will be your guide to the next life." "Jetzt kommen friedlich oder ziehen Sie Ihre Schwert"
(('But stupidity is such a strong word. Why not say, one with no skills?' 'Now come peacefully or draw your sword')) |
Dante glared at the Shinigami before rolling over onto his side. May, this man really was an idiot. "I'm fine as I am. Go the Hell away." He wasn't about to trust a Shinigami. They abandoned him. He'd seen them, he'd been there the whole time, but they ignored him. They let him rot and rot, watching over his friends as his chain eroded away. There was nothing he could do! He was helpless, and his depression lead to his demise. He turned into a Hollow. It was a torture being one of these things, and it was all because of the Shinigami. They allowed him to become one of those beasts! Did they know how much torture it was to be Hollow? To have your miseries playing back in your head constantly; to smell the blood, witness gore, feel pain and tears over and over and over again with such vivid colors? It... really made him want to drink. He huffed before sitting up and pointing at the Shinigami. "Oi, why the Hell do you even care? Maybe I like living? It took a hundred seventeen years just to become a conscious fucking Hollow. Why the Hell should I let you destroy my legacy? Because it's another good mark on your pansy record?" |
Ash stayed out considerably longer then her frail form suggested she could but finally even her distancing her mind was not enough and she let out a hiss of pain, nearly dropping both buckets. She caught the teacher’s gaze and saw him lift an eyebrow and motion her in. She sat down the buckets a moment, her arms still trembling.
“Lift your arms…” the teacher said, and though Ashi tried to cooperate she failed. Her arms barely made it a few inches from her body before they dropped back with a soft whimper of pain she tried to hide. The one problem with her dealing pain technique is she didn’t realize sometimes when she pushed herself to far. The teacher demanded a bow which she gave and then sent her to her seat. She gave Ryu a smile as she sat down, not really taking notes for a few minutes as her arms would genuinely not allow her too. She closed her eyes briefly before focusing, trying to hear the words. She already had felt mentally distracted…. Her arms did not help… so it took a few minutes for her to get back into student mode. |
Tyson looked around the class as he was sitting in his seat. "Man what am i gonna do i dont know anyone here and why do i keep seeing strange things everywhere i turn" he thought to himself.
|
( Tyson doesn't read other's posts! He was told to hold buckets for being late! xD )

Conri let out a sigh and crossed his arms before saying, "Well hell is warm, maybe for vacation. But truthfully, do you really enjoy this life? I know I didn't like it but I guess one man's betrayal is another man's shelter." He looked up at the sky, wondering if the soul society was watching him as he spoke. "But I don't think you will be happy anywhere you go, just as long as you exist you can never truly be act peace. But I am a shinigami and you are a hollow, I know somewhere deep inside you want to fight me."
He stared into the eyes of the arrancar and smiled. "So I'll make you a deal, if you just fight me I'll let you go but you also have to promise me that you won't ever harm one innocent." Conri told him. This wasn't the first time he made this deal and it didn't bring him someplace he wanted to be. But he has seen both sides of the hill and neither of them are too bright. So what did he really had to worry about, losing his captain status? Just a name, the soul society could just be destroyed again and it wouldn't be like anything would change. They are only punishers of those that do wrong, the opposite of what protectors should be. |
"You're serious?" Dante stared the man down, stupefied by what he had said,. Of course he was serious. this was Japan! they always meant their words! "Look, I don't wanna fight, and I'm not interested in succumbing to my hollow urges. I'm evolved. Now get lost with all of your fancy robes and codes and whatnot. You're ruining my sun." He fell back again, lacing his fingers behind his head and closing his eyes without a care in the world. What, was a Shinigami on a leash going to stop him? they had to call the Society early and freeze the area anyways. At least, that was procedure with high class hollows. He'd had plenty of years to spy on their doings, any he always found them too old and snobbish. |
Conri stood next to the hollow and put his hand behind his head to copy him. "Well until you fight me I am not going anywhere. And I think you should know I suppose to be in the soul society right now, so it won't be long before they send a few more captain's to come get me. And trust me, they won't give you a choice. You will either fight or die. So do you feel like fighting me now? It won't be till the death, I just need to get a good workout before I'm forced to go back." He started the laugh, it seemed weird that he was the one giving a hollow a ultimatum. I think I'm the evil one here, but this is the only way I could be sure.
|
"Oh?" Dante grinned cynically, staring up at the Shinigami. "Then keeping here will get your ass in trouble. Fun..." He got to his feet slowly, staring up at the captain and she pocketed his hands. "Then, I have one question for you..." He paused for dramatics before rolling his eyes, his grin widening with a cocky expression. "Wanna get drunk?" |
Conri chuckled and looked around suspiciously. "Drink? Who says I drink?.... Do you have something to drink? Anything strong maybe?" Conri said, unable to resist the horrible, horrible habit. But it was sure a tasty one. "I will drink just about anything really. Just as long as I can get wasted off it." He had so many things that he would rather forget in his life.... after life-time and drinking was the best way to do that, even if it was just temporary.
|
"Phht!" Dante cracked up at the captain's response before walking across the roof. "Sure, I have a stock, but..." He pulled out a thick roll of bills, each stolen by a convenient little bank nearby. "I'd much rather get mixed. Ditch that pansy running around with you if you want." Hell, this'd be a fun enough time. He'd get his drink, and a partner. It'd only be a plus if the man was gay; Hell, that'd make his night. Did you know how many strong men were gay? None! It had been a very lonely Arrancar-dom for Dante, that was for sure. - - - - - - - - Ryu saw what condition his friend was in when she returned. He couldn't believe she had been able to last so long! What really worried him was the condition of her arms. Was she alright? It looked pathetic; painful. He bit his lip when she smiled at him, hardly hiding his worry from her. She had been gone for most of the class and already the bell was about to- the bell rang loud over the class, stopping the teacher's lesson. He clapped his book shut before collecting his things and heading out. Most of the class left besides a few gossippers byding their time before gym. ( Skip to the end of the day?) |
Ash caught his look of worry and frowned a little herself a moment. She hated that he looked so worried… She’d chosen to be late so she deserved it… then again, Ash thought she deserved punishment for far more… even knowing she hadn’t killed her friends. Her soul is what drew the hollow, so it was still her fault…Something about her drew the evil to her… didn’t that make her evil too?
She then headed out with Ryu, only hissing in pain once as she tried to lift her own bag with a bit too much energy. She shook it off, however and walked next to him. She managed a smile and glanced towards him as they walked towards the gym. “Look… Ryu… Don’t worry okay? It was a good work out before gym. I‘ll meet you in front of the school after everything’s over, no worrying ” She then winked and ran off, heading towards the girl’s changing rooms. Gym was hard, considering her arms, but she made it through. That was Ashling though, she made it through everything really. She smiled to herself, enjoying the fact that the day was nearing an end. Her arms were even beginning to feel alive again by the time the school day was over! Skipping nearly she arrived outside, sitting on the stairs. She waited for Ryu, humming lightly to herself. She did this often, honestly. In fact she hummed or sang so often many of the nurses at the hospital had taken to calling her Melody. She wasn’t really good or anything but her voice was pleasant enough they didn’t object. But humming outside like this… so much better then inside.. With the sun on her face and the wind playing with a few curly loose ends of crimson sticking out of her bun, it felt like paradise to Ash. |
Conri looked back at his lackey and said, "getting away from him? Please, that's child's play." Then he drew his sword and said, "Get up, Gyarutsume." The blade howled as it's dull side turned sharp and the edges zigzagged in a way it would tear deeper into the skin and if he were to cut someone with it. Wind surrounded it and as he whipped the blade in the air the wind spread and surrounded Conri and his new acquaintance.
He could barely hear the shouts of the other shinigami as the wind gusted them away so fast that the way they went was untraceable. It was as if they disappeared. They ended up in a alleyway far from the part of town they were in at first. It was a sleazy looking place but who would think to look for a captain there... but is was him so I few others might think that. "Ok now that we ducked him." Conri said just before going into a door in the alley and came out with a gigai on. "So you ready to get wasted?" he said walking out wearing a smile. |
Dante's defenses rose instinctively at the tinkle of metal. He watched the captain warily, hardly wishing to stay still. In the end, though, he was fine with having stayed. He was in one piece, and near the bars. Perfect. He watched the Captain run through some door before sighing and closing his eyes. He relaxed his entire body, letting his reitsu free as his body grew- more and more until finally he stood his original 6'4". The Arrancar sighed heavily and leaned against a wall in the alleyway, already in gigai and waiting on the Shinigami. He looked to the man as he returned before heading off without a word. He knew every building in this town, and it wasn't long until he stopped at one in particular; 'Lapin' it was called. |
Conri noticed the arrancar's dramatic change when he returned but didn't comment on it. It wasn't like he would be drinking much in kid form so of course he would take a more mature look. He followed him to the bar and went straight to get himself a drink.
"Give me the stongest thing you have," Conri told the bartender. He seemed out of place in the dark, sinister looking place because his smile. He looked more like a victim then someone who spend his time in places like that but he didn't care. All he could think was I really need to get wasted. |
Dante took a seat at the bar, not even having to acknowledge to bartender. A bottle of Gin sat before him within seconds; perfect. He took the already filled shot glass and took it down without a problem. He looked to the man next to him, this time taking a good look at the other. He really hadn't expected his offer to have been accepted so easily, but... now that he took notice, without those drab robe, the man was quite handsome. What the Hell was with him, though? He wasn't like normal Shinigami; that is, unless this was a scheme to get Dante drunk enough to lose in battle. Fucking unlucky that Dante healed quickly then, huh? He practically inhaled alcohol just to keep the buzz. "Why'd you accept?" He finally asked. |
A shot of whiskey was placed right in front of Conri and he downing it in one gulp. "Please get me a bigger glass," he told the bartender. "Shots won't do." He looked over to the arrancar and said, "Well, I can't deny a offer to drink." He placed his arm on the counter and stated to lean on it before saying, "But truthfully, I really want information from you. I am looking for someone that you just might know." A mug of whiskey was dropped in front of him this time. He started to drink, waiting for a reply from the hollow before continuing. He didn't want to say too much but he wanted to know right then and there. He did make other arrangements so he had to get this over as soon as possible.
