Two new souls laid in the street right next to each other. The older souls looked at the new souls and smiled at them.
"Ohh look at the two of them. How adorable. They are going to get snatched up into a family as soon as they wake up." A older woman said to the older man walking with her.
He chuckled and hugged the woman. "I believe they will too."
The two walked over too the young girl and boy and shook them awake.
The girl opened her eyes to see the kind eyes of the older woman smiling at her. Next to her they boy awoke to the old man smiling at him.
"Huh? Where are we?" the girl asked confused.
"Ohh you're in West Rukongai, District Hokutan sweetie." the old woman said kindly.
"Huh? Where the heak is that?" the boy said confused.
"Honey they did just wake up they don't know where they are yet." the old man said and chuckled.
"Ohh yes I forgot." the old woman said and looked back at the two. "We're in the soul society. Do you two remember your names?"
The question struck the two and they looked at each other for a moment then at the ground trying to remember their names. Then they both shook their heads.
"Don't worry it will come back to you soon." the old woman said and held her hand out to help the girl up, the old man did the same for the boy.
They took their hands and stood up. Suddenly the girl realized that she was hungry, really hungry. The boy realized this as well and both of their stomachs made themselves heard.
"Uhh." the girl said and laughed nervously.
"Ohh my! That is surprising!" the old woman said shocked.
"Huh? How is us being hungry a surprise?" the boy said confused and put his hand over his stomach.
"Yeah seriously. It's a normal thing to get hungry." the girl said slightly a taken back.
"Well here it's a very rare for someone to get hungry." the old woman said.
"Yes. It is only common for Shinigami to get hungry Swe-."
"Kiyoku." the girl suddenly said. Then she started blushing realizing that she just blurted that out.
"Hum?" the old man said confused slightly.
"My name. Its Tanaka Kiyoku." she said nervously and looked away blushing slightly.
"Huh. Yeah! And I'm Cecil… Uhh Cecil… Damn I can't remember my last name." the boy said and looked away embarrassed.
The older couple looked at each other and seemed to have a silent conversation. Kiyoku and Cecil looked at each confused.
Kiyoku gave Cecil a look that said 'What the heak?' Cecil looked back at her with a look that said 'I have no idea.' They both looked over at the couple then back at each other and shrugged.
"So how would you two like to live with us?" the old man asked and smiled.
"What? You would be willing to let us live with you?" Cecil said confused.
"Please! Please! Don't kill me!" a ghost yelled and tried to scramble away from the Hollow chasing him.
The Hollow laughed evilly and stomped its claw down on the poor soul. The ghost screamed out in pain as the Hollow grounded it into the ground.
"Ohh now why would I kill you?" the Hollow said its voice sounding feminine revealing that it is a female. "No. I'm not going to kill you when I can perfectly eat you!" she yelled and devoured the poor soul. She finished quickly and sensed a familiar spiritual pressure.
"Oh ho a Shinigami! What a delightful treat!" the Hollow said and raced towards the Shinigami.
She slowed down when she got to close sinking into the shadows. The Hollow saw that it was a low level Shinigami. It still smiled to its self. Low level or not it was going to be a delouses meal.
The Shinigami suddenly felt a very familiar evil pressure crushing him as the Hollow flared her Reiryoku for a second, and laughed.
"Kawaisoni." the Hollow said in a fake apathy tone, "You are just so weak aren't you? Tell me do you even have a seat?"
The Shinigami tried to stand and draw his Zanpakuto, but he was shaking so much from just standing that he dropped his it.
"Tisk. Tisk. Tisk. I really would have hoped that they soul society would at lest send a seated officer. Its no fun to eat something that wouln't fight back." the Hollow said and stomped on the Shinigami.
"Ahh! G-God d-damn you!" the Shinigami spat at the Hollow.
"Ohh don't be so mean, or I might just make you suffer more than I was planning." the Hollow said while stomping on the Shinigami's arm and grinded it into the ground.
The Shinigami screamed out in paid and started cursing the Hollow. This just made the Hollow chuckle crudely. It made shiver run down the Shinigami's spine.
Kiyoku looked around the room as the old woman, Seto Keiko, explained that it used to belong to her granddaughter, Takahashi Akio, before she got married and moved out. She smiled at how much reminiscing Seto-san could do.
"Ohh you are just going to love it here! Takao and I are just so happy that you two decided to stay with us!" Seto-san said and hugged Kiyoku.
Kiyoku smiled and hugged her back for a moment then said, "Well you did ask for us to and even after we tried not to be a burden on you guys, you insisted."
Seto-san laughed kindly and said, "Well we just love taking care of newer souls."
"Well thank you Seto-san." Kiyoku said happily.
"Ohh now none of that! You can call me Obaa-san if you must!" Seto-san said cheerily.
Kiyoku giggled at how friendly she was being and nodded. "Ok Obaa-san."
They smiled at each other and walked into the living room where the two guys were wrestling on the floor.
"Grr! I'm not going to lose to you old man!" Cecil said in a playful yet aggravated tone.
"Hahaha! Kid I've got so much more experience then you that you don't even stand a chance!" Ojii-san yelled back just as playful.
"Wow that is so mature." Kiyoku said sarcastically.
"Meh!" Cecil said and stuck out his tong.
Kiyoku and Obaa-san laughed at the two and started smiling.
Silence came over the small town as the residents lied strew through the streets. All of them dead. All of their ghost devoured by one Hollow. One single Hollow.
And the Hollow just stayed their hidden. Waiting. Suddenly the gate that all of the Shinigami came to the world of the living appeared. The Hollow practically purred at how happy she was that they finally came.
She watched as a Taicho and his fukutaicho and two other Shinigami of the 13 Gotei. And not just any Taicho, the Taicho of squad 11! Ohh how much fun she was going to have fighting this Shinigami.
"Well damn. It killed all of the humans in this pathetic town." the Taicho said to his fukutaicho who was hanging off of his shoulder.
"Ohh maybe it's strong and you can have fun Kenny!" the fukutaicho said happily.
"Tsk. Yeah right it looks like it ran away all ready." the Taicho said disappointed.
The Hollow flared her Reiryoku and came out of the hiding place she was in and chuckled.
"You dare think me a coward! I've been waiting a entire month for the soul society to send a decent Shinigami to fight!" the Hollow said annoyed.
The Taicho smirked and immediately attacked the Hollow. She dogged his attack and chuckled at how much fun this would be.
"Name please?" The Hollow said in a sweetly sick tone.
The Taicho scoffed and glared at the Hollow but also had a smirk on his face.
"Zaraki Kenpatchi. The Taicho of the 11th squad." he said and tried to cut striate through the Hollows mask, but she dogged and attacked him.
"Great! Then this should be a fight that I'll never forget!" The Hollow yelled as the fight really began,
Kiyoku laid on her bed staring at the ceiling it had been almost 25 years since she first came to the soul society. She had started noticing how different she was only after a week. She got hungry quicker then most others. She didn't tier out as quickly as other either.
Cecil was the same. They both had noticed this and started wondering… Why?
Kiyoku swung her legs off of the bed and walked out of her room. Cecil happened to walk out at the same time.
"Hey Cecil you going for a walk too?" Kiyoku asked and went to the front door.
"Yep!" Cecil said and jumped next to Kiyoku happily.
They walked down the streets laughing and joking about stupid things when they bumped into a Shinigami.
"Ahh sorry! We weren't paying attention to where we were going!" Kiyoku said quickly.
"Ohh don't worry about it sweetie. It was a accide-." the Shinigami started and looked at both of them shocked.
"Huh? Hey are you ok?" Cecil asked confused.
"Oh. Yeah. You know I think you two should think about going to the Shinigami academy." the Shinigami said kindly.
"What?" Kiyoku said confused.
"Why?" Cecil asked slightly curious.
"Well you both have a high level of Reiryoku that would prove good in 13 Gotei." she said and smiled.
"Ohh really? Well thanks for that fukutaicho." Kiyoku said and started to bow.
"Ohh god don't do that! And Call me Rangiku!" She said and laughed lightly.
"Huh? Ok. Right. Rangiku…" Kiyoku said and smiled at her.
Rangiku chatted with them for a little longer till her Taicho came and took her back to her paper work. He also advised that the two go to the Shinigami academy before he left though.
Cecil actually started thinking about it and ran to talk to Ojii and Obaa-san about it. Kiyoku took a little longer to think about and walked back to the house.
When she got there Ojii and Obaa-san were hugging Cecil and telling him that he should go if he really wanted to.
"Hey Kiyoku are you going to go too?" Cecil asked when he saw her.
"Ohh I don't know." Kiyoku said and looked down at the ground.
Kiyoku thought that it would be mean to leave Obaa and Ojii-san after all they had done for the two but she also wanted to go.
"Kiyoku don't worry about us if that is what is keeping you from deciding. We will be just fine here by our selves." Obaa-san said and smiled at Kiyoku.
Kiyoku was slightly shocked by that but smiled and nodded back.
The Hollow cursed under her breath as three Gillian's tried to team up on her. Being a Adjucha it really shouldn't be that big of a deal, but she was weak from not eating in weeks. This in turn slowed down her reflexes and attacks which pissed her off.
"Ha! I thought you said you could handle anything thrown your way!" she heard another Adjucha named Grimmjow yell at her.
"Shut up Grimmjow! I haven't had a decent meal in ages!" she yelled back at him and killing one of the Gillian as it lunged at her then proceeding to kill the other two with her cero.
"That is a pathetic excuse for being weak!" Grimmjow laughed at her as she began eating the Gillian in front of her.
"Ass hole." she said as he started eating with her.
"Bitch." Grimmjow said in response.
"Why did we make that damn pact." she growled as he tried to steal the part of the Gillian she was eating.
"So we could become Arrancars dume ass." Grimmjow said amused as she clawed him for the attempt.
"You're the dume ass and if you try that one more time I will use cero on you." she threatened as he again tried to steal her food.
Grimmjow just chuckled and went back to his own part of the Gillian knowing full well that she was serious.
"So are you ever going to give me your name?" Grimmjow asked as her tore into the Gillian.
"Maybe." she said and continued eating.
"Then I'm just going to call you Bitch till I get your name." he said arrogantly.
"Fine. I don't care." she said as she finished her meal and stocked off in another direction.
"Going some where Bitch?" Another Adjucha growled and tried to attack her but Grimmjow attacked them first.
"Only I am aloud to call her Bitch!" he growled at the Adjucha and killed him.
"Really Grimmjow?" she chuckled as he stocked up next to her.
"Yeah and if I find out that you let anyone else call you Bitch I'll kick your ass." Grimmjow said and smirked.
"Fine by me." she said and chuckled.
