Like Humans Do

[kiyomizusan]

The sun has begun to set over Karakura Town, people have begun to vacant the streets on their way home from a long day of work, and the shadows begin to lengthen as the sun vanishes beneath the horizon and brings forth the darkness of night. Here and there one can see a vehicle driving around or the more nocturnal people who come out at night to gallivant around town aimlessly. In a back-alley in the business area of the town, a strange girl with silver hair is seen accepting an amount of money from a stranger who seems to be wearing a maid's uniform. When the stranger turns her back and recedes into the cover of darkness, the girl sighs while placing the cash into the pocket of her white dress. A vehicle pulls up behind her, just in front of the alley-way and a man in a blue uniform exits the vehicle. He holds up a badge, signifying he works for a certain corporation. The girl bows as the man places his badge back into his breast pocket and then addresses her.

Another job completed eh? You do good work, Kiyomizu. This man observes the girls' face, and is visibly put off by the stoic expression she seems to always possess. Wouldn't hurt you to crack a smile sometimes. His comment is met with silence, making him a little bit more nervous than before. He puts his arm behind his head and scratches a little before finally explaining to the girl what he wants. Look, I know you do "favors" for that candy-shop owner. I don't know how you complete those jobs so fast, but I was thinking of hiring you to do a courier job for me. The man looks at his watch and taps the face with his finger a few times before looking back over at the girl. You interested? It's just the perfect thing to do before your first day of school tomorrow.

The girl nods her head solemnly and walks a little closer to the man. She wordlessly extends her hand to shake his, and upon doing so, the man coughs a little and begins to explain the job. Excellent. I've got some product in the trunk that needs to be dropped off at another location across town. I'd do it myself, but I'm a little scared of ghosts. The girl nods, remembering that this man, Kazuhiro is able to sense the presence of Hollow but cannot see them, and thus they are moderately attracted to him whenever he nears them. Since you have no problem dealing with those things, I figure I'd give you this job. You can pick up the reward from me tomorrow at the usual place. He walks over to his car and opens the door to pop the trunk and retrieve a brown parcel from it. He hands this to the girl, along with a pistol. The girl holds the pistol and checks the gun over to see that it has 12 shots and is loaded. You're gonna like that piece. it's got twelve exploding shots, all for your protection. Not that you need it. Anyways, just get that box to this location, and hand it to the runner. He puts a slip of paper in her hand, and then steps back inside his car. He starts up the engine and waves one more time while driving off. Heh heh, don't let the ghosts get you, Tama Kiyomizu.

Tama reads the slip of paper and discerns the location that it intends for her to go to before stepping into the shadows and creating a portal. She sticks her hand through the portal and creates an exit on the other side, and then steps through. She soon finds herself in one of the residential parts of town, and walks over to a house with a green door. She knocks twice, one more time, and then three times and then waits. The mail-slot opens and a hand comes out of it, beckoning her for the parcel. Tama places this parcel in the hand, which retracts back into the door. She can hear the door locking mechanisms closing, and she turns around to leave the area her thoughts about the job running through her head.. (This seems to have been too easy... Kazuhiro wouldn't have...) As she leaves, she suddenly feels a malevolent presence in the area. Knowing that this presence belongs to a Hollow, Tama quickly darts away from the area to try to lead the Hollow to an area where there'd be less people. Upon reaching a children's park, Tama abruptly stops and turns around to face her assailant.

What stands before Tama surprises her and places her in a peculiar position. He-hey! Tama! I thought i'd never find you again! Tama's eyes widen a little bit. How can this be? This person standing before her shouldn't be alive. This person is long dead, and Tama was there when this girl was killed. Miyuki.. The girl, Miyuki strolls closer to Tama, and places her hands on Tama's shoulders while smiling. Come-on, don't tell me you forgot about me. I spent all this time looking for you already, it's me! Miyuki! Tama's eyes narrow a bit, trying to figure out what's going on. Is this some kind of trick? Perhaps Tama's memory of the incident was wrong? No, she thought to herself. She knew that the Miyuki standing before her cannot rightfully exist in this realm. Tama grabs the girl by her chest with her right hand and pulls her closer to herself. I am not a fool. With a swift movement, Tama plunges a knife into the girl, causing her to double over in pain while screaming bloody murder at her. Tama takes a step backward as Miyuki regains her composure, this time sporting a sinister expression on her face. Soooo, ya figured me out eh? No use for this disguise then... Seemingly out of nowhere, a large hollow steps out from behind Miyuki, it seems that Miyuki is attached to this being's head, as she turns into a small little dangling ball atop his head. It seems that she was a lure used by the hollow in order to catch Tama off her guard.

We meet again, Grand Fisher... A small wheel-like weapon appears in Tama's right hand, and she grips the circumference of the wheel in preparation of an attack by this being. She steadily begins to release her spiritual pressure as the Grand Fisher stands up on his hind legs in a threatening posture. You've slipped away from my grip for the last time, girlie. This time, I'll devour your delectable spiritual pressure... The Grand Fisher seems to be more powerful than the last time Tama remembers him. His vast spiritual pressure seems to be literally seeping out of his body in waves as he stares hungrily at Tama. I cannot die here... I have to strike you down and make this town a safer place... The Grand Fisher chuckles a little, and disappears from his spot into the darkness. Tama keeps her guard up and awaits an attack. I know all about your little abilities, getting stuck in your stupid traps was annoying! so this time I made preparations! I brought friends! Out of the shadows emerges three Fishbone D. variety hollow, Tama's eyes widen a little bit as she realizes that she's severely outmatched. Normally, Tama would just retreat and avoid the situation entirely, but the way the Grand Fisher toyed with her memories earlier fills Tama with a quiet determination. She will not leave this place unless she is slain. The atmosphere seems to react to the tension in the air, as it seems the playful painted eyes on the playground equipment are even watching the situation closely. The swing creaks a little as the wind begins to pick up, and Tama lets out one last deep breath as she steels herself for what will undoubtedly be a tough battle.

[Sento]

Sento breathed heavily, having been training in the underground training area put in under his apartment (Yes Sento has one too, who doesnt nowadays?) battling against fake Hollows created by the nearby candy shop owner.

As he swung at them with his katana he sensed a much stronger, and much more familiar presence nearby: Grand Fisher. Quickly, he slashed down the last fake Hollow and leaped up, into the apartment, and out the window in the direction of Tama.

He landed on a nearby building, noticing the outnumbered soon-to-be battle he made his move. Sento sticks his arm out, his Shinai training sword still in it, it slowly morphs into a katana. He points the Katana at Grand Fisher, an orange shinner appears on the hilt and, in a moments notice, a quick blast of Orange energy blasts right towards Grand Fisher. Within a second, it blasts directly into him, making him fall back a few feet and onto his back, quite confused.

"My my, so many of you attacking a lonesome woman? How classy!" He says with a smirk, leaping down and landing next to Tama within a split second. He aims his Katana at Grand Fisher. "Now then, Grand Fisher, i will even those odds!"

[ThaiKunoichi]

A second young girl had just finished shopping for the day. She carried a few things such as groceries for her family and some things for herself. "-sigh- I can't believe I have school tomorrow. I mean I'm prepared and all, but summer was way too quick this year..."

She decided to go to one more shop before going home. It was a manga store that she'd never been in before and the environment seemed pretty welcoming. A sales clerk came up to her asking if she found everything alright. She replied while commenting on the lack of a certain genre, apologizing at the end of her statement. The clerk took offense & got a bit angry and started to argue with her. The young girl got a bit angry as well after what seemed a while, and tried to control the flames she held in her hands; she had a temper problem that used to get out of hand very often. She apologized again to the clerk and bought something anyways. Hanabi walked outside as soon as possible to calm down. As the city lights began to turn on, she realized that she had forgotten her curfew. "Crap...this will look bad if I'm not home right away. Stupid sales clerk..."

The girl's phone gave a melodic ring to signal she had received mail. She reached into her jacket pocket and read the message. Hanabi, make sure you get home on time. It's a school nite, k? It was from her mother. Hanabi knew a shortcut away from the shopping area and through a playground that took only a few minutes to get to.

She ran as quickly as she could while making sure not to jostle the groceries so much. She stopped suddenly as the air around her felt tense. "Hm? Another one of those creepy ghost things huh? I hope the soul is strong enough to fight it off if I have these bags to carry." Hanabi had saved a few souls from Hollows before, but she was usually carrying little to nothing at those times. As the playground came into view, she saw two people around her age fighting off a pack of Hollows led by a stronger one. She set her bags down in a safe place and let her anger rush over her from earlier. Her body was enveloped in flames for a few seconds and she emerged completely transformed in a black outfit and her hair resembling flames. Hanabi rushed in while kicking a Fishbone with her foot ablaze to help them out. "Hey, hope you guys don't mind an extra hand...they can get pretty annoying..." "Heh...that sounded a lot cooler in my head..." she thought.

[kiyomizusan]

Just as Tama prepares to engage the foes before her in what would have likely been a very difficult battle, a familiar spiritual pressure arrives and a sudden orange attack blasts the Grand Fisher back a small ways. Tama looks over to her right at the boy who had just arrived. It was Sento, a mod soul that Tama had seen a number of times in the past. She nods at him, her way of silently thanking his timely arrival as he boasts a little and points his katana in the Grand Fisher's direction. Please allow me to deal with this one... it would be appreciated if you drove his friends away... Tama was just about to create another portal as another being appears. This one, a girl in a black suit and hair alike flame appears from nowhere and kicks a Fishbone D a distance away. This girl, Tama does not recall, but given from her stature she is likely around the same age as Tama herself.

The girl announces that she had arrived to help out the situation, something that Tama is grateful for as well. Are you.... a super hero? I... must ask that you assist my ally here in defeating the smaller ones while I defeat the leader... This battle means a lot to me. Please understand... Blazing Heroine... Tama grips her Chakram and asserts her fighting pose as the Grand Fisher picks himself off the floor and laughs haughtily at the trio. You stupid kids think you can compete for some reason? Your spiritual pressures are all so weak! Watch! The Grand Fisher's arm suddenly extends very quickly in the direction of the three teenagers, this arm slams into the ground nearby them with enough force to knock them off their feet, should they not dodge. Tama leaps into the air before the hand collides with the ground in order to avoid the onslaught, as tentacles fly from beneath the Grand Fisher's mask in her direction. With surprising agility, Tama swings her chakram forward in mid air to sever the first of the tentacles, while spawning a portal in front of her to cause the tentacles to harmlessly fly elsewhere. I will not be defeated by you.

Tama lands back down on the ground gracefully, her chakram suddenly gone, and in it's place a revolver. She looks over to her left, as two Fishbone D charge from the side to try to attack Sento, and then to her right, as another Fishbone charges out towards the girl with flaming hair. The Grand Fisher seems unimpressed, as he leers forward in an attempt to intimidate Tama into inaction. You humans are so squishy and predictable! The Grand Fisher leaps forward with his claw outstretched in attempt to slash Tama, she performs a spinning leap over him as he pounces past her, and fires upon him when he's underneath. The bullet strikes the lure on the front of his head, causing the Grand Fisher to bellow in pain as the lure explodes due to the bullet being a compact explosive. (Could it be that Kazuhiro... knew this was going to happen?) She lands behind the Grand Fisher and sits down on one knee to aim her revolver once more. She fires, but the Grand Fisher seems to disappear. The bullet continues on it's path until it strikes a nearby tree, where it explodes. Suddenly, Tama can feel a fierce pressure behind herself, instinctly, she spawns a portal underneath herself and allows herself to travel through it, appearing on the other side of the park. It seems that the Grand Fisher used some technique that allows him to travel quickly, and attempted to kill Tama by goring her from behind.

You managed to dodge that, eh? You're starting to get better than before, stupid human. But just try and dodge this! The Grand Fisher charges across the park to reach Tama's position as her gun disappears and she instead pulls out three knives. Just as the Grand Fisher reaches her and pounces in her direction, Tama slides underneath him and jams a knife into his belly. What she didn't notice is that the Grand Fisher expected this, and called forth the black tentacles from his mask once more in order to constrict Tama. Hah! I've got you now! And i'm gonna squeeeeeze the life out of you nice and slowly, stupid human. As the tentacles begin to constrict harder and harder upon Tama, she begins to feel a little faint. She chances upon the others in the area, but her vision is too obscured to notice much else besides that the Fishbone D still seem to be alive. What was that about not being defeated by me, girl? The Grand Fisher grasps Tama in between his claws, releasing the tentacles grip on her. He begins to squeeze her inbetween his palms while cackling madly in sadistic pleasure of the whole thing. Compress me as you like... This.. (Urgghh....) is... (Gaaaah....) nothing... I will not.... perish here...

Despite the bravado, Tama is by no means okay, this pressure from the Grand Fisher's attacks are having visible stress upon Tama, as she struggles to even maintain her breathing. The Grand Fisher seems confused as to why he has not yet been able to crush the life out of Tama, so he compresses even harder in attempt to finish her off. He seems displeased, as Tama refuses to even scream in pain, despite how much torture he is putting her through. I've had enough of this! JUST DIE! With both hands, The Grand Fisher hoists Tama over his head and throws her with all his might into the floor. She lands on the ground with a sickening thud, creating a sizable dust cloud upon impact. When visibility is restored, the Grand Fisher notices that Tama has yet to die. She struggles to her feet, breathing heavily while staring into the Grand Fisher's mask with the same stoic expression she always has. Humans aren't this hard to kill! What are you? WHAT! AAAAARREEE YOOUUUUUU!? Why does it seem you stare into my very soul!? You're puny, you're weak, you're almost dead, but YOU He directs a punch, which manages to strike Tama, but fails to budge her from her position. JUST!! He punches her once more, causing her to cough blood onto his hand, but still fails to budge her. WON'T He directs another fierce punch into Tama, which again causes her to expel blood, but once more fails to budge her. DIE! With both hands, he slashes his claws at Tama, tearing into her flesh and causing her a grevious amount of harm. This last slash causes another dust cloud. He begins to laugh in triumph, but is stopped by a voice from the cloud of dust.



My turn.

[Sento]

Sento didnt move one bit as the Fishbone D charged at him. Instead, he flipped his sword to back-hand style, putting his hand over the back of his shoulder he blocks the attack from the Fishbone D. The Fishbone D hisses, recoiling a distance away from Sento, Sento faces the Hollow, aiming his sword at the Hollow.

"You. I bet you are wondering what my attack was from earlier. Well, it has a name." He says as the Hollow cocks its head, somewhat confused. Sento stares at the Hollow as the Hilt of Sento's sword begins to shimmer orange. "I will end this in one blow, you weak scum." He says as the Fishbone D roars, charging directly at Sento.

"Asusheika!" He shouts as a sound similar to a gun shot breaks through the noise of all other battles. If one has good enough reaction, they could see an orange blast surge out of Sento's blade for a split second as a large hole appears in the center of the Hollow, causing it to disintigrate.

Sento looked up at the fight between Grand Fisher and Tama, gripping his Katana he started to run when he froze, remembering what she had said earlier.

"I... must ask that you assist my ally here in defeating the smaller ones while I defeat the leader... This battle means a lot to me. Please understand..." She had said. He hesitates whether to respect the wish or save her, when he hears her voice ring out. With a sigh of relief and a smirk at what Grand Fisher's reaction will be, he runs towards Hanabi to aid her in her own battle.

[Yamada]

Yamada walked along the side walk with Shina, her silver-ish, long hair moving in the breeze ever so slightly. The German Shepard was on the left side of the blind girl, guiding her home, and for those who finally met the girl, wouldn't be surprised she was taking her time. It had been so many years since the girl had actually been out alone (with some sort of guide). In fact, the girl had only began public school a year ago, after her parents died and she was handed over to her aunt and uncle.

Now the girl was special, but no body else knew that other then Yamada. She wasn't completely blind, in fact, she could 'see', but only other special people she could. It was strange, and the girl never told any one yet - other then her dog, who she doubt could understand her. Yamada would be startled so many times when she saw these special people.... Seeing their spiritual pressure in her world of darkness....

Yamada soon walked nearby of the park, and when she did she stopped. Shina stopped and looked up at her master and friend, and let out a whine. Yamada blinked her pale brown eyes, and looked over in the direction of the park. She was surprised none the lesss to see many white forms over there, some of them disappearing and some moving quickly. The young girl had a sense she shouldn't be here.. but she had no where to go... And not being able to see, she never saw what most of these blobs of light looked like. One was certainly big, but it could have been a huge person in any way... it was possible right?

"H-hello...?" yamada said loud enough for the people across the street could hear her. Yamada prepared her self to run in any direction she could away from these blobs....

[ThaiKunoichi]

Hanabi tilted her head to the side at the silver-haired girl's question as to if she's a super hero. "No, not exactly." "Wow...I feel so cool~" She nodded to the girl once she told Hanabi to respect her battle with the strongest Hollow. A short moment later said Hollow attacked the group and Hanabi barely managed to avoid the attack, still thinking about herself instead of fighting.

She turns her attention to a Fishbone D that tried to plan a sneak attack during the distraction. Hanabi sidestepped its attack and shot a medium-sized fireball towards it, just barely burning the top layer of its skin as she missed. She paced herself to react to the Hollow's next move, another set of fireballs going off and giving only little to slight damage to the Hollow's thick skin. "Hm...you must be kinda smart for a low level being such as yourself." She smirked as she taunted the Fishbone, hoping to catch it offguard.

They ran towards each other and the Fishbone D leaped high into the air to get an advantage and smash Hanabi into the ground with its feet. She continued to move and slid under the Hollow and punched it just as it seemed she would be crushed. "Ryu nigirikobushi!" A dragon made of flames erupted out of her fist and hit the Hollow dead on, causing it to fall down singed and off to the side. It disintegrated momentarily as Hanabi got up and made sure it was truly defeated.

Hanabi looked over to the silver-haired girl and noticed that she was in a tough situation. She remembered that the girl wanted to maintain the honor of her fight and let her be. "Finally...a soul that can take care of things. She looks like she's in trouble, but I'm sure everything is under control if she can withstand those injuries and come back even stronger."

The young man that was also assisting in the battle came over to Hanabi looking to see if she needed assistance. He seemed like he was about to say something when a young girl with a German Shepard called out to them. She seemed a bit weaker than the other two that fought off the Hollows, so she tried as best as she could to persuade her to leave. Hanabi called out to her while trying to not get the attention of the Hollows. "Hey! Please be careful over here! It's a bit dangerous so you might want to go around someplace else." Hopefully, Hanabi didn't sound mean by implying that the girl was weak-looking, but it was just her first reaction to keeping people safe.

[kiyomizusan]

What?

Was all Grand Fisher could say before being propelled backward by a force he had no way of expecting. He crashes into a nearby tree and lands on his back, when he begins to regain his senses it's too late. The sight that beholds him frightens him beyond all else. Tama standing atop his belly, completely red from being covered in her own blood, brandishing a katana that is pointed straight at his neck. I... Tama opens her eyes, furthering the horrible image, as the eyes are the only non-red thing on her face. With blade in hand, Tama slashes the Grand Fisher from the chest down, and then leaps off his belly as he turns around to get back on his feet. Tama then notices that someone else has arrived on the scene, but is too preoccupied to turn around and address this person.

How are you not dead? I'm sure any human would've died from all that! Tama does not respond to his question, she simply causes her blade to disappear and calls forth an array of muskets instead. The muskets appear barrel down in a circle around Tama, stuck to the ground via the bayonets. Tama picks up a musket and fires it into the Grand Fisher's mask. The bullet explodes, causing the Grand Fisher to scream in agony. She tosses that musket aside and picks up another, which she aims into his belly and fires. This bullet also explodes, causing the Grand Fisher to double over in immense pain. She tosses this musket aside as well, and picks up yet another, which she fires into the Grand Fisher's face again. Strangely, his mask cracks and he begins to radiate with power.

I see.... so this is how Hollow evolve.. Tama doesn't give herself any time to ponder, as she tosses her musket aside and picks up two more, both being fired into the Grand Fisher's torso. The bullets do explode, but they show no sign of budging the hollow who seems frozen in place by his sudden burst of spiritual pressure. Conventional weapons have no effect... I have... only one more option... one more chance...

The muskets disappear and Tama is seen holding her Chakram once more. Spiritual pressure begins to pour out of Tama as her chakram begins to change shape. The wheel grows larger, and blades begin to extend from it's circumference. When it finishes growing, her chakram now resembles a single wind and fire wheel. Fullbring... Wheel of Holding... The Grand Fisher seems to have just regained his composure as Tama appears above him via use of a portal and slashes him with her weapon. It manages to cut him, though the cut does not appear to be very deep. When she lands on the ground, she dashes forward and slices him once more across the legs, once again doing minimal damage. The Grand Fisher laughs at her and pulls out a sword the size of a skyscraper. HAHAHAHAHAH! Your stupidity has granted me even greater power! I am an arrancar! The strongest kind of being in all the universe! Now not even those Captains can stand against me...

... All is not lost on me yet...I have one more.... just one more ability. Tama's eyes begin to glow silver, and her body soon too begins to be engulfed in a silver light. Her entire body is washed clean of the blood by this wondrous light, and portals begin to spawn in a large radius around the two beings as Tama outstretches her arms. This is the Ultimate Wrath of the Cosmos.... From the portals, hundreds of thousands of copies of her Chakram emerge from the portals and hold still for a moment before converging upon the Grand Fisher all at once. Wha-What is this!? You can't be serious! Gah! Ughaaaaauuggh! Tama bends down on her right knee and lowers her arms as if she were praying. This attack.... there is no way to avoid it... even if you attempt to exit its' range, the portals will only bring you back... The chakrams begin to fly out and slice the Grand Fisher all over, even with all his new power, he seems unable to comprehend the number of attacks that are piercing him. He falls onto the ground in a heap, and Tama cancels her attack. The silver light fades along with the portals, and Tama slowly strides over to Grand Fisher's position, looking visibly exhausted. Last words?

Ye-yeah... just one. Out of nowhere, a tentacle appears and swats Tama away as the Grand Fisher raises and then disappears from the area cackling with laughter. Having been swatted a noticeable distance away, Tama picks herself up off the ground and wordlessly stares into the sky as she falls to her knees from the pain and exhaustion. I was.. too hasty. She then remembers that she had allies in this area, and slowly forces herself to her feet in order to limp in their direction. Thank you for... not interrupting... I am..grateful.

[ThaiKunoichi]

Hanabi quickly looked over to the other girl and watched her battle just as it ended. She perked up to hear what the girl had to say "Hey no problem miss...um... Sorry I never caught your name" "Crap...this looks bad..." Hanabi looked over the girl. She looked like a serial killer from a horror movie the way she was drenched in blood. "So...do you need to get to a hospital or would you prefer us to leave you to heal? I mean...you withstood some pretty tough injuries, but you're still standing."

Hanabi glanced over to her other comrade from the fight and then to the girl across the park. "Hm...Iwonder if she saw anything..."

[Yamada]

Dangerous? What was dangerous? The girl needed more then to be told... or, that was what she thought. Biting her thumb nail, thinking. What should she do? Go on her way? If it was dangerous, what if they needed help? What was going, and why was some of the white blobs disappearing suddenly? Shina let out a whine tugging at the leash to get Yamada to follow her. Yamada refused to move, and stared at the white blobs she saw in her black world. She soon crouched down, balancing on her heels like a child would if they where examining something on the ground, and continued to stare across to the park.

Yamada was still bitting her thumb nail, as she listened to the strange conversation that was going on. She could hear, because of the yelling. Yamada was cast in to a world of complete confusion even more. What the hell was going on?

The girl finally stood up as soon as one of the white blobs suddenly flew off.... And she was confused as to why this was so... Things didn't fly or jump so high, unless they where birds.... or so she was told...

"W-whats going on...?"

Thinking it was safe, Yamada moved forward, and Shina let out a bark. There was a fire hydrate in front of Yamada, in which the blind girl obliviously didn't see. Letting out a low yelp the girl tripped over the hydrant and onto the ground behind it. "Shina.. you need to warn my quicker...."

[Sento]

Sento stopped short of the flaming woman when he heard an even bigger comotion. Turning to Tama he raised an eyebrow, noting how she defeated Grand Fisher he smiles, pleased to see she is alright. When Yamada speaks up, he turns to face her, a puzzled look on his face.

Sento scratches his head, noting the way the woman stared forward, along with the dog near her, he assumed she was blind. Though to be able to sense them there....Sento knew she wasnt an average human.

When she tripped over the fire hydrant, Sento quickly ran over, kneeling down next to the girl. "Are you alright?" he asks the girl, looking around waiting to see if anybody else would come make sure she was fine.

[kiyomizusan]

Tama wonders what it is that the blazing heroine was staring at after she asked her what her name was, realizing that she was still covered in blood, Tama ignored the gaze, and answered the question. Kiyomizu... Tama. Hanabi goes on to ask her if a hospital visit was necessary, to which Tama slowly shakes her head. Though my injuries look severe, I am... different. This will not affect me enough to warrant a hospital visit.

Tama's attention is then drawn towards the girl who had arrived on the scene earlier, but appears to be blind, by the way she moves. Sento dashes forward to assist the girl, so Tama does not limp over to the spot, instead sitting down and grabbing her knees. The hollow was too powerful for me... I should not have spurned your assistance. To think that a foe would appear... that my attacks held no effect against. To onlookers, Tama knows that they would feel that the Grand Fisher was handily defeated, but somewhere in Tama's heart, she believes the Grand Fisher could have finished her off if he tried to. She pushes these thoughts to the back of her mind sighing heavily and cringing from the stinging sensations she feels from all her wounds. A bottle of red liquid appears in Tama's hand seemingly from nowhere. She unscrews the cap and begins to drink the liquid contents. She begins to feel healthier, as the medicine works its wonders. Nontheless, her gaze remains fixed upon Sento, and the strange girl who hadn't fled the scene during the battle.

[Yamada]

Yamda sat up and sighed, rubbing her hands and shaking her head. They've been together for awhile, Shina and her, but they still needed to work out a few kinks, like timing. Tilting her head to the side, hearing a voice next to her now, and seeing out of the corner of her eyes, whiteness coming closer to her.

Giving a shaken up laugh to the man's question, Yamada closed her pale brown eyes and shook her head. "Its nothing compared to what used to happen...." Moving her legs, as if she was going to get up, she flinched. "Maybe just a few bruises.. but.. thanks." She gave a small smile, her pale brown eyes open and staring ahead of her. Moving again to stand up, the girl began to ask her question. "But.. what was going on....?"

[Kuran Snow]

Kuran had been watching the fight from a nearby rooftop and grinned slightly. This group of people had quite the potential. He would have to spend a great deal of time watching them. He hadn't had good entertainment like this for awhile. He put his hands in his pockets and continued to watch with increasing curiosity and amusement. I think I may have found me a new show to watch.

[ThaiKunoichi]

"Tama...Kiyomizu... Nice to meet you~ And don't worry about us; in my opinion, it was great to finally see a strong soul such as yourself handle those... 'Hollows' was it?"

Hanabi then addressed the girl with what appears to be a seeing-eye dog. "Well, it's a bit much to comprehend, but you do seem a bit different than most people er I mean like you can see and feel something different about us and those things you 'saw'..." She felt a bit awkward explaining the situation, plus she noticed the sun retreating beyond the horizon a lot quicker than she realized. "Hm...I should power down...this form does drain a bit of energy and these people seem trustworthy enough..." She proceeded to do so and reverted to her street clothes and red streak in her hair.

She turned her attention back to the group as a whole and sat on the ground. "Ahh...much better. So, uh we were fighting these monsters, well this girl originally was -points to Tama- and this young man here helped out before I got on the scene and..." Hanabi continued with the story while rambling at some points but still cutting to the chase.

"Anything to add you guys? Sorry I rambled a bit; I have to get home before dark or else I'll be in trouble..." She patted the back of her head and chuckled awkwardly at the end of her statement. "EEK! My groceries! I hope they weren't messed up in the fight..." She freaks out a bit at the thought of being late and having jacked up groceries to give to her mother. "I think... I just lost my cool points with these guys...-sigh-"
