ok well here's chappie two. If you want the disclaimer, its on the first page

"..." talking

'...' Kusori/ Yumichika thinking

'"..."' Yumichika talking to Kusori in her head

"What did you say!?"

The monster screeched. Kusori's savior spoke again, with a tint of disgust.

"I prefer it when the prey has a say in their own demise, not when it has been chosen for them." He paused, and drove his hand through his dark hair. "Even if they aren't as beautiful as me…"

'Wait…What or who is he referring to? Holy crap! He's referring to me!' Kusori had finally caught on to his comment. With all the strength she could muster, she screamed to her savior,

"Are you saying I'm ugly!"

"I wasn't referring to you, you twit."

The horrible black beast laughed intentionally, "Funny, I thought you wouldn't be able to talk." The man glared at the monster in front of him. It continued,

"With all that poison, I thought you'd be dead by now…" It smirked, and the man's glare only intensified.

"That's cruel, truly cruel."

Kusori looked at him. He seemed so enraged by what it said. She didn't know why, but accepted that it was a good thing. He was protecting her, after all. That's enough to know that the man was good, wasn't it? What were they? The thing that attacked her seemed too supernatural to be real, and her protector looked human. But she knew better than to think that. He wasn't human, or maybe…

'He's a ghost?'

I'm a Shinigami, but thank you for caring A voice inside her said sarcastically. The first step to schizophrenia.

'What the Hell? I have voices now?!'

'"You only wish you did, twit"'

'I know your voice. You're the one protecting me right now!'

'"Oh no shit, Sherlock."'

'That wasn't very nice of you to say.'

'"Does it look like I'm trying to be nice?"'

'Well you are saving me right now…'

'"Call that a fluke"'

"I'M GETTING SICK OF ALL THIS SILENCE!" The beast yelled ragefully. It was really getting flamed up.

'"You see that thing?"'

'No. All I see is a big, black blob. Of course I can see it!'

'"Well most people can't. That thing is called a Hollow"'

'A Hollow, eh? Looks dangerous…'

'"The voice laughed, You can be the judge of that"'

'"Uh oh!"'

Clank Scrape

Metal again clashed against hard bone in an attempt of defense. The Hollow had come after him. From what Kusori had collected, it seemed that Shinigami were people thast came for the living souls, and so did Hollows. So whenever they see each other, there is a sudden battle to the death for that soul. The Hollow backed away as blood dripped from its temple. The Shinigami had swung really hard, she figured.

'Oh shit! That means that the feather dude is gonna kill me! I'm too young to die! I haven't even done much with my life yet!'

She was mourning in her head. As much as she wanted to move her body, the paralysis denied her request. She was now poisoned up to her stomach, and she couldn't talk. She made an effort to squirm. With each passing moment, her body would get weaker, and the poison would spread. Soon it would reach her heart, and when it did it would not be able to function properly. It might mean she'd die. Death from Paralysis, or death from a blade…

'"My name is not Feather Dude'"

'Oh, so that means you're gonna kill me?!'

'"No! Listen, my name is Ayasegawa Yumichika. I'm a Shinigami"'

'Meaning…?'

He sighed mentally, '"Meaning, that I am a Soul Reaper. A Death god. I don't kill people, my job is to bring souls to peace"'

'So you ARE gonna kill me!'

'"NO! Will you shut up, you twit! You're not going to die, alright? I just need to deal with this Hollow, but before I do that…"'

The soul reaper turned, and eyed her mysteriously. For all she knows, he could have been just glancing at her. But since she was fifteen years old, she was too immature to know that.

'You better not be getting any ideas.'

'"I wouldn't with someone like you!"' He sounded disgusted by the mere thought.

'I thought you said I wasn't ugly.' She was getting upset now.

'"Even so, I wouldn't think of doing anything like that with you"'

'Thanks Feather Dude'

'"My name is Ayasegawa Yumichika…"'

"AND IF YOU DARE CALL ME THAT ONE MORE TIME, I'LL GET REALLY ANGRY WITH YOU!"

"So the savoir isn't as sweet and kind as I thought…" The hollow spat at him. Yumichika frowned at the remark.

"I don't know what to do next…I mean you're a Shinigami, with a lot of reitsu. But then again, the girl has a bit of it too. Enough for an appetizer, I'd say."

"Bastard, he's thinking of eating us, and her first…I gotta do something, but what?"

Yumichika said under his breath. What would anyone else do in his situation? His mission as a Shinigami is to guide the souls of the living and the dead. The lost souls or the souls that are safe. This girl wasn;t safe, but there was no plausible way that he could get her out of this battle. An idea finally popped into his head.

"But it might not work…I've got to try."

She has some reitsu in her. Maybe it'll work?

'"You girl…"'

'My name is Kurosaki Kusori, you know.'

'"And?"'

'Well I thought that since you don't like being called Feather dude, that I don't like being called girl"

'"Whatever"'

'Yeah, whatever. I'm not gonna talk to you anymore.'

He sighed, he shouldn't be arguing with her, now of all times.

'"Listen to me, do you want to get away?"'

The girl was enticed by what he proposed.

'Now you're talking…but how are you gonna do it if you're fighting fat, black and gruesome over there?'

'"It might not work, but I could give you a small amount of my reitsu."'

'You'll give me your WHAT!?' Her age, again showing.

'"My spiritual energy, you noob."'

'I thought I was a twit!'

'"Same thing. Look, do you want out of here or not?"'

'I do, yeah'

He extended his arm out to her. His long fingers almost touching her lower arm.

'"Then get all the strength you can, and reach up to my hand. I'll do the rest."'

So, with all she could, she tried to move her arm. Her first two attempts failed, but by her third try she lifted her arm shakily to his firm hand. He took hold of her arm, and an awkward sensation was felt, for both of them. One side was gaining strength, and the other side was losing strength (To obtain, something of equal value must be lost: Equivalent Exchange). When he was about to let go a strong weight had pulled on his arm. He had been holding up this girl, and now she had fallen towards the ground. He dove to catch her, and so continued the loss of energy.

'What's going on?' He thought 'The more I want to let go, the more my mind is telling me not to. It's like, my mind doesn't want me to let go of her. But why? If I continue this, is she going to take all my powers? I only did mean to give her enough to stand up and run.'

He gazed at her. Her eyes were partially closed, and as the energy came into her, her breathing became lighter. Her arm twitched, and she was able to move with ease now.

'Maybe the amount of reitsu I wanted to give her wasn't enough to sustain her. Makes sense.'

"Feeling…better?" As he spoke to her, he stared in disbelief.

"Much. Thank you. I really am- Why are you staring at me!?" Then she looked at herself/

"I don't believe it!" She said scared.

"Neither can I…I mean, you're wearing a uniform."

"A uniform? A uniform for what?"

"A shinigami's uniform. That means you must have enough reitsu in you to be a soul reaper."

"Does that mean I have to die?"

"No, not really…"

"What's going on? Why are you talking? How can you be moving? And why do you smell like a Death god, girl? ANSWER ME!" The hollow questioned her.

"You, hollow, what's your name?"

"Diablo."

"Well, Diablo, I'm gonna kill you for what you did to me!"

"Exorcise. We exorcise hollows, Kusori." He sighed impatiently. She turned to face her new mentor that called himself Yumichika.

"Right. I knew that…" She shook her head nervously.
