Flashes of white, here and there, rushed through the center of the market, a plaid, red and navy handkerchief wrapped around its neck. A fox, with black tipped ears, weaved in and out of people's legs, heading for its hidden destination. Sighing in relief as the animal made its way out of the crowded place, back to the lush green grass that blanketed a near by field. Trotting over to a tall oak tree, the fox untied the handkerchief from around it's neck with its tiny mouth. A small amount of food graced the fox's presence; a browning apple, a few, thicker bread crumbs, and a slice of bloody steak.

"Some folks are so nice." A foxy grin growing across it's face, as a spunky masculine voice spoke. Before being able to dig in, a sharp screech sounded in the air, making the fox's ears prick up.

A hollow stood 15 meters away from the fox's home in the oak, just staring, as its eyes glowed red.

"Fox, you smell like a soul reaper. How tasty! I think I shall eat you as a snack." The demon charged at her, hands out reached, teeth bared. The small fox crouched on all fours, ready to spring, as a silver light over-powered its white fur, a strong scent of mint drenching the air. The kitsune's body transformation was interrupted as the hollow launched its attack. Jumping out of the way, a now naked, lavender haired woman, growled furiously, a small unsheathed wakizashi in hand.

"What do we have here?! Oh a little girl with soul reaper powers, just delicious. Why don't you come over here and let me have a bite." Before she could call on her zanpakuto, a clawed hand ripped through her arm, blood spurting everywhere. Slowly, her world faded into black, sensing a presence arrive just as the hollow dug another claw into her back. Her teal gaze rested on pale blond hair as she soon passed out.
