She watched the traffic below with a distant expression as the cold October wind pulled at her uniform. Her long ears pointed downwards in discomfort, one ear twitched at the cry of a nearby Hollow. Somewhat grateful for the distraction, she jumped from one street lamp to the next. She must have gotten lost in thought again but was refocused be the noises beneath her.
A man with a broken chain attached to his chest screamed for help and dodged between trees franticly, while a winged Hollow followed close behind enjoying their game of cat and mouse.
'Not for long.' She thought a small smile slipping from her lips.
The beast had grown tired of chasing the terrified Whole and reached out to grab him, she released a reishi arrow into its skull before it even had the chance to consume him.
She landed softly behind the quivering Whole as he watched the Hollow's corpse evaporate, its final cry echoing in the night air. He turned, suddenly aware of her presence. "I-I.. that thing, it tried to kill me!" He stuttered glancing between the vanishing ashes and the strange child that apparently killed his attacker. He stopped abruptly. "W-what are you doing? What is that?" Panicking even more.
She had taken off her necklace and after released the kishi bindings, it rapidly took the form of a strange sword. It had a blade that got progressively wider towards the tip and seemed to glow green.
"What attacked you just now was called a Hollow-"
An hour or so later, she sat on the roof of the big hotel downtown. With her feet dangling over the edge and her head tipped lazily back, she wished her MP3 player were there to complete the moment. But a floating pair of headphones would only bring herself unnecessary attention. It didn't help that she had Ke$ha stuck in her head. "Like a love sick crack head.." Grinning at nothing in particular she watched a lone satellite drift across the night sky.
