The vampire smirked cruelly at his target.

And the target was simply still. From fright, most likely.

And that's when the boy leapt at it, summoning his deadly scythe in the process. The silver blade flashed briefly, cutting through the air with unimaginable ease before tearing into his opponent. The large gash excited the teen more, and he slashed again.

And again. And again. And AGAIN…

Oh, how much fun this was!

Xanthan grinned, with more malice shining through. He loved when he had the upper hand. He was stronger, faster, better than it. They both knew.

His weapon danced through the air, acrobatic and beautifully, poised for death and pain. With the speed the boy maneuvered it, there seemed to be many scythes at once.

He slashed and stabbed and ripped and tore and cut and gored and rammed and attacked and impaled and slashed it some more…

But it's not good enough. I have to be better than it. Stronger than it. Faster than it.

It needs to suffer…so, so painfully…

Insanity danced within Xanthan's eyes, a pure, cruel and twisted sadistical glow hidden deep within, rising ever so quickly.

His opponent's innards flew everywhere. Limbs went soaring, it's decapitated head rolled along the floor.

Better, Faster, Stronge—

"Xanthan?"

The soft voice snapped Number XI out of his killer trance, and he turned his head sharply to see a pair of pale grey eyes looking back at him.

The girl smirked slightly. "Geez, Xanthan, always taking it to the extremes…" She bent down and picked up the dummy's now battered head, stuffing and other materials falling from its severed neck. She clicked her tongue, putting on a look a faint sympathy. "Poor guy…"

By this time, the onyx-haired teen managed to compose himself, and catch his breath. He looked at the dummy's remains, scattered here and there, making the Training Room floor look like a royal mess.

Too bad the floor couldn't be covered with blood instead…

He ran his tongue over his fangs; a sadistic look still tainted his eyes.

He liked that idea.

Hooray! Xanthan's awesome when he's all sadistical and stuff :D Then again, he's pretty awesome all the time, but meh…

Xanthan is Arrancar Piros' OC, not mine, of course. I hope you liked this one, EP! :D

And I hope this is a good start off to your challenge, RS! (or shall I say, FS! XD)
