The Hueco Mundo Moon shined bright and large over the sands and hollows. The little lizard hollow roamed around the sands aimlessly. A gust of wind blew and knocked the Vasto Lorde off the rock he was sleeping on and slammed onto the gravel sands. He rose up to find Shikamaru and Shinji staring at him trying not to laugh. Kurai glared at them then just started to laugh hysterically. The two hollows looked confused and sheepishly joined in. Kurai looked up at the two, and then his laugh turned into silence. The two hollows turned their heads to one side out of even more confusion. "Get back now," Kurai commanded to the hollows.

The two nodded and did as they were told. "What's wrong, sir?" asked Shikamaru.

Kurai only returned the question with silence and threw the hollow with his counterpart. A huge cloud of dust and sand rose up from the impact. A figure stood in the distance with a bigger line of other biger figures behind it. The smaller figure had what seemed to be a double sided axe with a black blade with a red eye like object in the middle. "Kurai Kaze," the small figure bellowed, "I am here to request something of you."

Kurai growled and snarled at the small figure. His blood boiled and claws grew. The bigger shadows meant nothing to him. The smaller figure came into view and slammed his axe into the sand. The hollow had a purple coat with the ends flowing in the gusting winds. His head was a barren skull with a golden crown. His skull was cracked with battle marks.

Kurai stood back and planned out his moves to run away, but if he couldn't himself leave, he would throw the others far away so that they could survive. The small hollow tilted his skull head and beckoned, "I need some assistants of yours."

Kurai shook his head and answered, "I don't know what you want Baraggran, but you can't have it. I don't plan on helping you any way shape or firm. So leave now since we have nothing else to talk about." He glared at the empty eye holes of the skull face waitng for an answer.

Baraggan laughed and pointed his axe at him then at Shinji and Shikamaru. A purple ball of energy formed at the end of the axe aimed at them. Kurai turned his head and tried to move in front of the energy ball. Baraggan chuckled and released the energy stream and landed a direct hit on the two hollows. Baraggan laughed hysterically at the sight of his accomplishment. Kurai growled and snarled, then let out a roar releasing his spiritual energy. The rocks and dead trees in a 5 mile radius toppled to the sands.

After a minute of staring at the murderer of his two companions, he launched him self at a blazing speed. Baraggan stepped back and threw one of his taller hollows at the enraged Vasto Lorde. The other hollows began to run away from the being leaving Baraggan by himself with the murder induced hollow.

Kurai flew past trees and pillars, to be stopped by a hand of his shoulder. He stopped to see Shinji standing with out a left arm smiling at Kurai. The two looked in each other's until Shinji fell on his stomach motionless. Kurai picked up the still Shinji and held him close to him and looked over at the site where Shikamaru was, but to his horror, he saw him curled up, also motionless. If he could shed tears, he would create a river full of tears. He glared at the murderer and disappeared and reappeared at the body of Shikamaru, until finally disappearing from view.
