"Purr, Sukimara!" I hissed, dashing quickly towards my enemy. The giant hollow roared as it noticed my approach, turning swiftly to try and counter my attack. Immediately my sword shivered into a delicate yet powerful and intimidating scythe that gleamed with fire.
"You have no chance, soul reaper!" The hollow hissed in its monstrous rumble of a voice. A voice that sent chills down my spine.
"You act like you're stronger than me or something…" I whispered to myself, and hopefully it heard me too.
"Die!" An orb of compressed spiritual pressure formed in its opened mouth, aimed at me.
"Sukimara, burn!" Adrenaline pumped rapidly throughout my veins as my flame scorched the hollows mash into ash. A smile spread across my face, it was only in errands like this, when I'm alone and fighting, when I can be myself.
Slowly, I allowed myself to jump down to the ground. The human world swallowed me with its familiar scenery. I sheathed my sword and mumbled my thanks to Sukimara. Then I turned and jumped into my temporary human body that allowed me to blend into my surroundings.
Many years ago I ran away from the soul society, hoping I'd get away with my life. I honestly wouldn't have if it wasn't for Urahara I would be dead. If he hadn't kept me safe and sheltered, I would no longer exist. And all he asks for in return is simple tasks, like killing hollows. He also keeps it so that local soul reapers, like Ichigo, don't come to know of me. If he would find out, then Rukia would. And that means she would tell the head captain and I would immediately be killed.
I stretched and began to jog in the direction of the shop. Dark storm clouds formed above me as a spiritual pressure made itself known. I trembled under the iciness of the very familiar power essence. I didn't need to turn around to see the white haired boy staring at me. But I did anyway, and met his surprised gaze with my own.
His mouth vibrated with shock as he spoke, "Yuki…"
I stayed silent, my eyes now willingly leaving his. My heart thumped painfully in my chest and I felt like I was about to cry.
Toshiro…
