Hey sorry it took me so long to post. I just haven't been feeling it you know. Anyways I really hope you enjoy this, and review. It going to be one of my bigger projects, and so I hope that you like it. Also a side note, I'm not abandoning any of my stories.

I swear Atra's theme should be Bad Apple. I don't know why but it seems to fit with him. Atra is trapped completely by his hatred.

It was raining heavily. The sound of rain hitting against the train window filled the area. Lightning lit up the dark cloud covered sky, and was followed by the loud boom of thunder. "Now arriving at Karakura Town, please make sure you gather all your items." A female voice filled the train's hull. A boy looked out the window. He wore a black sleeveless vest with a hood on it. Underneath that was a white long sleeved shirt. He wore blue denim jeans, and had on black red shoes. His black hair was long and, and reached his lower back. The train slowly came to a stop in front of a slightly run down train station. The boy got up, and grabbed his bag.

He then walked out raising his hood with his right hand, which had a black finger less glove on it. It seemed to radiate power. When he stepped off into the train station, he looked around. Japan was strange compared to America. He sighed looking around. Slowly his eyes close, and when he opened them they seemed to be glowing. Suddenly the spiritual pressure seemed to be almost crushing as he let some of it out. He slowly walked out of the station into the rain.

He could feel eyes stalking him, and he smiled. He walked down the abandon street. When he was sure he had it's attention, he quickly flashed stepped. It wasn't long before he appeared at a graveyard. Suddenly a claw came down, and dust raised up. A creature stood there. It was on it's back legs, and looked like a mixture between a frog, snake, and monkey. It's face was covered by a bone like mask.

"Hehehe! You lose!" The thing said, in an insane tone of voice. "Sorry afraid not." The boy said. The dust settled to reveal the things claw was blocked by his right hand. "What's this? I've never seen somebody with this type of power. Oh, I'm going to have so much fun!" It quickly jumped back, and the boy sighed. Suddenly it seemed as if his spiritual power just vanished. The thing looked confused. It looked as if the soul had completely disappeared.

The boy appeared behind the creature his eyes glowing with hatred. He raised his right hand, and quickly brought it down on the thing. It howled in rage. Quickly it's claws came to the side, but the boy had already vanished. He appeared on top of the things head. He was about to bring his fist down on it, but a claw suddenly pierced his body. He coughed up some blood, and grind his teeth together.

His eyes seemed to get a crazed look in them. His right hand became black like a claw as he gathered negative spirit energy. The things claw was still inside him, and he gripped it. Quickly he brought his right hand down cutting its arm off. A smile began to form on his face, and he flashed stepped off the things head. It was enraged and screeched pulling several graves out of the ground.

The thing charged at him, and the boy stood his ground. "I WILL KILL YOU! KILL YOU!" It screeched. It suddenly lunged, and the boy smirked. He used a modified version of flash step, called spirit step. He quickly brought his right hand to the side, cutting the things legs off. He then vanished again, and cut it's remaining arm off. The thing stood there. "What the hell are you?!" It questioned. The boy only smirked. "Me, I'm the last of my kind. The predator towards you damn Hollows. My name is Atra Umbra." Atra raised his arm up, and suddenly the Hollow became engulfed in negative spirit energy. It screeched, and then vanished into black mist.

Atra stared at the grey cloud covered sky. "What a wast of time." He said to no one in particular.


Meanwhile a certain orange haired teenager was walking back home. He was carrying an umbrella, and a bag of grocery. Ichigo, sighed as he entered his house. "I'm home." He said, taking his shoes off at the front door. He sighed looking around. Everybody was out right now. As he went to the kitchen to put everything in the fridge, he felt the spiritual pressure in the air increase slightly. He quickly turned around, to find Rukia standing there. She had a disturbed look on her face.

Ichigo was silently wondering what was up with Rukia. He had never seen her look this disturbed. "Ichigo, have you been hunting Hollows recently?" She asked. Ichigo stared, again wondering what was wrong. "No, why?" He questioned. He started putting things in the refrigerator. "That's disturbing then. Recently Hollow activity has dropped significantly. The Hollows we have been getting to seem to be on edge, even scared." She told him.

Ichigo nearly dropped the milk when he heard that. He quickly turned around to look at her. "Wait isn't that a good thing?" He questioned. Rukia shook her head. "No. There is a build up of Negative Spiritual Energy." He stared at her blankly. She sighs, irritated. "Honestly Ichigo. Negative Spiritual Energy is a very dangerous Spiritual Energy. It can only be used by the darker parts of the soul. Greed, hatred, pride, etc. NSE can only be used by Witches, and Spirit Warriors. Though the Spirit Warriors were wiped out by a very strong Hollow who used to be one of there members. So it has to be a Witch." Rukia explained. Ichigo nodded. He still didn't know how it could be so bad.

Rukia as if reading his mind, growled in her throat. "Those who use NSE, are like a ticking time bomb. If they lose control of those emotions, the Spiritual Pressure is great enough to crush every bone in anybody unlucky enough to be nearby." They both grimaced at the thought of that. "So, if I see anybody suspicious, I should apprehend him, and bring him to the Soul Society." Ichigo said. Rukia nodded, and then left. Ichigo only sighed. He then turned and began putting everything away.
