Hello again

I only got two reviews…sob…whimper….

Anyway please review!

Now onto the story!

Blood dripped from the end of my zanpakto, tainting the pale, white sand below my feet. Hollows loomed all around me; some bleeding freely, others hacked to pieces before they would stop moving. I raised my head to face the sky. Was this the end, is this all that I was meant to do?

More and more Hollows flooded the area, their demented eyes filled with hunger. I raised my blood stained sword and sliced thought the oncoming bunch; red speckling the ground.

Ruthlessly slashing a path through the throng; I escaped the scene, hopping to sink back into the shadows. Moving expertly thought the rough terrain, I slide to the base of a tree I had been staying at for a few days and waited for the cries of the hollows to subside.

Once the eerie silence had been restored I relaxed slightly, though never completely. It had been hard; getting out of the Seireitei. The soul reapers had already been alerted as to my location and they came in swarms, all intent sinking their swords though my throat. I had hesitated not wanting to attack ally.

"They use to be allies, but not anymore." Rang the by-now annoying voice of Hollow, which I had chosen to call him after exhausting the use of "it" or "the thing".

Without my approval, my hand reached down and draws Enraiha from its sheath, dispatching the approaching battalion and changed direction heading for the southern gate.

Luck had been on my side, without encountering much more than a hell butterfly on the way; I slipped into the heavily guarded gate, first casting a kido around myself to hide my spirit energy.

Once escaping the Soul Society I had to fight constantly to stay alive. Hollows and what I recognized as Menos Grande attacked me at every turn. Enraiha constantly in my hand; I literally slept was one eye open never lowering my guard even a little.

Once I had caught my breath I took to cleaning Enraiha scraping off both the fresh and dry blood.

"Skye" I smiled touching to blade fondly. Enraiha had been my only companion since I entered this hell hole.

"Well not the only one your cruel princess, have you forgotten about me so easily?" I groaned yap how could I forget about the jackass who won't shut up?!"

"Who knew the little princess had such a potty mouth?" I sighed Hollow my other "companion" who hadn't covered his trap since day one of being here.

Looking though my sack of essentials I had managed to drag along, I pulled out a bar of chocolate and began nibbling away.

"How can you put that stuff in your mouth?"

I felt very tempered to strangle him at this point but stopped noting that it would be foolish to engage in a mental struggle that I was not guaranteed to win.

"How very wise of you," I ignored him instead turning my attention to Enraiha who now resided as a Phoenix inside my head.

"Skye you had been quiet ever since you came here" his voice was sad and I could see that the lush canopy of red plants and withered somewhat.

"I…," I began not wanting to completely break down in front of him, "I don't know what to do anymore"

"Do what you think is right, you'll see in time." His voice melting away is leaving me to star at the familiar trunk of trees and the dark colored ground.

Suddenly I sensed a huge amount of spirit energy just above me. My hand reached out to draw Enraiha just in time to ward of a sharp blow to my head. I was pushed back against trunk as a sickly white hand reached out and pined me by the throat.

I gasped straggling to get free. The creature tightened its hold and I coughed my vision becoming blurry. Looking past the spots that had formed around the corner of my vision, I saw a white humanoid shape, it's mask and body covered was some sort of pale white bone. Claws extended from each one of its fingers and a pair of huge black wings protruded for its shoulder blades. I gasped fighting back a screamed that formed on my lips.

Ulquiorra's POV (for those that haven't figured it out by now)

The shinigami straggled in my grip; she eyes becoming wide and shock plain on her face. After a moment of what seemed like indecision, she flipped the blade of her sword upwards and attempted to cut off my arm. I allowed myself a moment's amusement before grabbing her thin wrist snapping it cleanly in two. A piercing screamed split the night as her bloody right arm dropped and swung helplessly from her side, her Zanpaktuo clattering to the ground.

I was impressed by this shinigami's ability to make decisions and not screaming in terror like I had seen so many times. I tightened my hold and she coughed blood dripping from the corner of her mouth. I sighed uncharacteristically and brought my other hand sharply across the girls head, knocking her unconscious and loosening my hold on the tiny shinigami to watching her fall o the ground.

I had originally planned to eat her, but decided against it. She made my stomach turn and there was really no point on eating her anyway. I turned to leave then stopped turning back. This shinigami would undoubtedly be eaten if she was to stay here.

I blinked, why had I even thought that? I didn't care what happened to this useless piece of trash! Why should I she was a shinigami? I tilted my head thoughtfully. It was because I didn't \want anyone else to eat her. Yes that was it the only explanation! I bent down and picked the tiny woman and throwing her over my shoulder I bent to pick up her zanpaktuo which was caked in dry blood. Sighing as to why I was doing this I built up spring in my legs and took off, soaring away.

I'd like to point out that this was a kill or be killed world hence the name. Skye came here to find shelter but can she find love? Next time: Sorrow clouds the Earth

Again please review!
