The Rise Of Uiko [Open]

[Chihiro 六]

*Baboom, baboom....baboom baboom.* The heart of a once dead female could be heard a long distance away. A strange yet familiar spiritual pressure could be felt across Las Noches as the floor of the desert shook. Slowly the female rose from the dust and desert sand of Las Noches and a scream slipped her mouth. It was one of a hollows. She screamed loudly, practically telling everyone she was alive and here now. She had no real memory of her past.

"HAHAHAHA!" She laughed as she would slowly stand on her feet, sluggishly standing and walking in the desert. She smiled grimly, her sharp teeth visible as her long black shaggy hair was a bit dirty looking. Her dim green and yellow outfit lost it's color and her eyes that was once bright green became a dark grey. Uiko, the once lively Chihiro, stood int he desert, her pressure rising quicker and quicker, her heart beat getting faster, a bit faster than normal.

Her pace of walking quickened and she smirked widely, as she started to run, running through the desert, being a distance away from the Las Noches towers. As she got closer her pressure got higher, the ground under her feet sizzling slightly as her body temperature increased due to her awakening blood lust.

[Kusubanasan]

"What a strange feeling...." It honestly is quite strange, a fairly powerful spiritual pressure is roaring out over the desert, but said spiritual pressure feels... awfully familiar. This spiritual pressure is intriging enough to the Trecera Espada that she bolts out of her mid-day singing session to investigate the desert.

"Well well, it looks to me like we've got a bit of an anger problem going on out here~!" The Espada states to herself when she exits the front door of the citadel and gazes out upon the horizon to see a figure in the distance racing toward Las Noches. "I suppose I had better examine that poor soul before they dash into the castle and get themselves hurt, but.... why does this spiritual pressure remind me of little Chihiro...?" It isn't positive to the fairly motherly Espada, but due to being the dedicated healer of the Espada, Furiko is quite used to the various spiritual pressures that lurk around the castle.

Regardless of that, the Espada mobilizes quickly, utilizing her impressive Sonido ability to close the distance between herself and whomever was running toward the castle in nearly an instant. "You should stop and identify yourself miss. Don't want a darling like you getting injured because she went places she shouldn't be going~" The Espada states in a sing-song voice as she appears into vision directly in front of the younger arrancar. Were someone to observe Furiko at the moment, they would notice that she is totally unarmed, and not even standing in a guarded stance. Everything Furiko had said just now was as sincere as can be, something that the Trecera Espada is quite famous for amongst the denizens of Hueco Mundo.

[Chihiro 六]

She could hear someone speaking and feel the presence get closer. Uiko stopped short and breathed heavily with a weird smile, her eyes glowing purple as she would say, her tone a bit mean sounding. "I'm back. Heheh, miss me?" She asked as she would smirk at her once closest friend. She couldn't help but feel sorry for her, since she was about to try and devour her to get into a better position. She smirked as she unsheathed her sword and pointed it towards the female ahead of her, knowing her somehow but not remembering her name.

Uiko Had said a bit loud "Be prepared to be devoured!" She hastily charged after the female, her sword dragging behind her as her foot steps steamed on the ground of the desert. She laughed maniacally as she would then swing her sword towards the girl, wanting to cut her neck off, aiming only for her neck and abdomen, knowing if it were to hit, it would burn and kill her, hopefully. "HAHA!"

[Kusubanasan]

This girl, a dark-haired woman wearing a charcoal gray outfit and wielding a straight bladed weapon does not seem to be harboring any positive intentions at the moment. No, the look in this woman's eyes is far more primal, more deadly than Furiko had wished it to be. "I'm back. Heheh, miss me?" The young Arrancar asked with a smirk more resembling a snarl at the pink-haired Espada, who senses deadly intent behind those words and immediately adopts a more guarded stance, not removing that loving smile from her face at all as her spiritual pressure raises, coming to a spike when the young woman draws her sword and points it directly at her bosom. "I feel as though you resemble a dear friend of mine, but there is just such a different feeling about you that I can't place a finger on it... Not that this is a bad thing though, everybody is unique and beautiful in their own way."

Now, the young woman seems to be done posturing toward Furiko and immediately charges at the Espada, screaming "Be prepared to be devoured!" whilst doing so. I might need to be a bit careful about this one. The Espada thought as her opponent comes running at her with the sword dragging through the quartz sand behind her. Then comes the slash, obviously aimed at the Trecera Espada's neck, but most definitely too sluggish and imprecise to ever reach the woman's neck.

"Wow, you're definitely as energetic as the person I'm thinking about." Furiko exclaimed ever so gently while twirling in a dance-like manner to the side the attack came from, narrowly avoiding the blade and allowing it to continue along it's diagonal path as the Espada performs an acrobatic kicking technique designed to push the younger arrancar backward, but not really to hurt her.

"Oh won't you stop this violence~? We should be friends and work toward an understanding between all races rather than this struggle for power~!" It isn't like Furiko doesn't understand the inherent struggle for power that exists within the hearts of every hollow, as when she was but a mere mindless beast herself, the Trecera Espada had devoured her fair share of hollowfied brethren, though mostly out of self-defense than anything else. However the young lady responds to Furiko's words doesn't really matter to the Trecera Espada, more intent on trying to understand this woman than trying to hurt her.

But if push comes to shove, Furiko isn't exactly going to just let herself die here, after all, the pink-haired woman is one of the most powerful assets that Hueco Mundo has, and her death would be a severe detriment to the plans of her leader.

[Chihiro 六]

Uiko stared at the pink haired woman, observing her as she danced around her attacks. She smirked and laughed at her words of wisdom and stopped when she heard her last sentence. She decided to see if she could play around with her until she had gotten something to eat, and a soul to fill the void of the one missing. Uiko had laughed and stopped, staring at the seemingly obvious Espada and then she asked "Who do I remind you of? Needless to say, how do you think I got here? Hmm?" Her tone was a bit sarcastic at the end when she would added on "Or maybe I just rode a magic pony all the way here and just randomly made a friend."

She was hungry, and thirsty for food and water, as she also needed that soul. Anything for her to be revived into a better less evil state. She laughed lightly and sheathed her sword, her tattered clothing seemingly flowing in the warm wind she created, her eyes still glowing purple but then dulling to a deep onyx color, practically black, with a purple ring around the iris.

Uiko wanted the pink haired female to introduce herself before she stated who she was, but on the inside, Uiko had no idea who she really was, only knowing her name and her rank, that being it, her past practically erased, only hints remaining. Her green and yellow clothing seemed dim and black from being in the ground, it was barely noticeable of the color. Her fingernails were a bit sharp and her smile loosened and went to a normal, neutral expression.

[Kusubanasan]

Okay, it seems that Furiko's words had struck a chord with this rather dark looking arrancar. The woman quickly ceases her attacks, laughing and staring at the Espada before asking her who she happens to remind the espada of. As Furiko was about to answer however, the girl adds in another statement about a magic pony and made friends with it. "They do tend to say friendship is magic, but I do... Well, I feel as though you remind me of a past Espada who suffered an unfortunate accident not all that long ago. And as to the question of how you got here, judging by the footprints in the sand, I would say you ran."

After that, the other woman sheathes her sword and simply stares at the Espada, presumably waiting for her to say something else before the other one would speak. That's fine and dandy, Furiko isn't exactly worried about telling people who she is. "Furiko Kusubana, Trecera Espada." The woman said with a song-like tone and then falling silent to provoke a response from the other party.

[Chihiro 六]

Uiko stared at Furiko, seeing how happy she seemed to be. For some odd reason, Uiko wanted to just ruin her happyness. She didn't know why but she figured sooner or later she'd do it. For now, she figured she should just play cool. Uiko kept her smile and she said "Nice to meet ya. The Name is Uiko..." Uiko's eyes wandered as she patted her stomach a bit. "Got anything to eat? I'm starving!" She over exaggerated a bit as she looked at the pink haired female.

She had a few questions in her head, rampaging on and on but they soon left when she could feel the presence of a Hollow. She turned around and saw 2 of them running around. She squinted and ran towards the 2 harmless looking hollows, getting close and unsheathing her sword. They were swarming around her grave site, and she quickly shooed them away, they were after the scent of her clothing made by humans, the natural form of a human smell lingering from when she was dead.

[Kusubanasan]

After having spoken, Furiko notices that the younger arrancar is eying her up, examining the Trecera Espada for some unknown reason. A slight shift in the younger arrancar's spiritual pressure indicates a small amount of hostility in her, but it is suppressed enough that the girl was able to introduce herself as Uiko. Furiko nods, and giggles a little when the woman asks for something to eat. The pink-haired woman begins to respond by calling her naginata to her hand, but unfortunately a pair of hollows made the bad decision to make themselves visible to the pair of higher ranked arrancar. With a sigh, Furiko points at them, to which Uiko immediately runs off and chases after them.

"You might want to eat those." The espada states as her naginata disappears from her hand again and she goes back to folding her arms under her chest and staring idly at the younger arrancar. Her actions and manner of moving is rather strange to Furiko, who is beginning to think that there's something just eerily unnatural about this particular person. Not that Furiko has any room to speak, being a hollow herself. With not much else on her mind at the moment, the Trecera Espada simply continues to idly stand, not making a move unless something else were to interrupt the pair of people.

[Shinda Korosu]

"Well, well, what is going on here?" came the familiar voice of the 4th Espada, Shinda Korosu as he, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, walking towards the two female arrancar, scratching the back of his neck. "My my i was trying to take a nap but all of that laughter sure didn't help..." He says, turning his full attention to Uiko, "And i assume that laughter came from you, considering Furiko's voice is much less hysterical...at least that i know of." he says with a grin, "I'm Shinda Korosu."

[Chihiro 六]

"Those things are tasteless. But they will have to do." She stated as Uiko would slash at one of the hollows but then she had quickly opened her mouth wide, her teeth now seeming sharper as she would chomp down on the side of the arm of the hollows. The hollows were a bit bigger than her but she really couldn't care less. She needed something to eat. Her eyes glowed a bright purple for a little bit as she feasted upon the hollow. It screamed in an almost slight pain until it fell down unable to move. She devoured most of it while Furiko was finishing her last words and movements.

Uiko would have finished the rest but she heard another voice, one of a male. She quickly turned around, her black shaggy somewhat dead hair turning with her as one of her eyes was a bit covered, the other visible, showing the brightness of the purple form only a slight distance. She laughed menacingly as she would stare at the male. "I don't give a rats ass on what your name is. I want food! Should I feast upon your flesh or just leave you be? Hmmm?! Furiko? Is this person edible in a sense of filling this empty stomach of mine?!" She with a wide toothy grin.

She stood upon the hollows half eaten body as she had her sword unsheathed, the hollows blood on her clothing and smothered on her face, making her seem like a cannibal, even though she acted or was a cannibal at the moment. In her other hand, opposite of her zanpakto, was a bone of the hollow, probably an extended femur, with meat and skin on it, dripping fluids and blood, the body decapitated, the head a few feet away from it's body.

[Kusubanasan]

It's almost fascinating watching the little arrancar feed upon lesser hollows, a strange and primal affair at that. Furiko, having been a Vastro Lorde before she was turned into an Arrancar has been existing on the thin scraps of reishi through the land and has transcended the need to actually devour other hollows to be able to survive. The little bit of entertainment value from that however, changes to another point of interest due to the arrival of a third person. The Quatro Espada, Shinda Korosu.

"Hysterical voices, sing-song voices~ All's the same if you're having fun with your time~" Replies the pink-haired woman to her comrade as he appears. Uiko seems fairly less enthused however, making a comment about how she doesn't care who the man is, and also wondering if he's edible. This prompts a short giggle from the Trecera Espada, who pats the younger arrancar on the head and wags her finger as if to say no. "Now, I'd have to tell you that picking a fight with Shinda over here is a pretty good way to get yourself killed~"

Sure enough the man loses her attention and the younger arrancar goes right back to finishing her meal, cannibalistic, uncouth, and simply barbaric, though endearing all the same. "I can't quite place my finger on it, but doesn't this little one remind you of another scampering green menace we used to have around the castle?" Furiko asks of Shinda, hopefully he came here having sensed this arrancar's spiritual pressure.

[Shinda Korosu]

Shinda stares at Uiko as she seems to spit empty threats at Shinda in the same insane laugh that had disrupted his sleep. He sighs, "Yep, i figured it was your voice. You know, disturbing a man from his sleep is quite rude." he says, pocketing both hands into his white pants.

"As for me being edible, I've never checked, but i don't think humanoid flesh tastes very good." he says, frowning and looking nowhere in particular as though imagining, "Yuck, i really can't picture it as tasting very good." Shinda focuses his eyes back on Uiko, tilting his head with curiosity, "You know, Furiko, she does remind me of somebody after all..." he says, unmoving as a quiet hum can be heard in his throat. A moment later his head bolts back upright and he snaps his fingers, "Little Chihiro." he says, his dreary sense of spiritual pressure finally awakening from his sleep.

"Anyways, small Cannibal Hollow..." he says, using the words as a substitute for a name he does not know, "I'm in a good mood so i think i'll forgive you for disturbing my nap. What might your name be?"

[Chihiro 六]

Uiko looked at him as she would continue to eat. Once she finished she sighed and looked at him with a smirk. She then burped and she had laughed, walking towards him covered in blood from the hollow. "My name is Uiko~ Nice to meet you...Heheh." Her voice changed a bit. She seemed to be in a happier mood. Her smile was no longer cannibalistic. She sighed as she would then turn to Furiko and smile at her. She sighed and said softly. "Now......Can I go to sleep...? I don't know where to go anymore..." She said as she would act innocent.

Uiko's long jagged black hair had fell down her shoulder as she would yawn lightly. It seems that when she's hungry, she acts a way where she would just continously devour until she is full. When she's tired it seem's she's sweet. Her eyes were now a deep purple.

[Kusubanasan]

"Oh?" Suddenly the young woman, previously filled with a manic sort of energy is now fairly placated. The trecera espada gives her colleague a slightly confused look before turning back to Uiko and patting her on the head. "Yes yes, we can give you a little place inside the castle if you want to sleep~" She said, giggling a little before taking a step backwards toward Shinda. "Boss-kun doesn't really mind when I take in these Arrancar, but I'd really like it if Koga would stop killing them..." The pink-haired woman said with a sigh before turning to keep her gaze upon Hueco Mundo.

"I never know anymore really... I was in the middle of my singing session before I felt this little spiritual pressure out here... Guess it might be time for me to head into the forest, we were supposed to do something about a Vastro Lorde who was killing our scouts...." True story? Furiko was supposed to perform the arrancarfication ritual on this particular being, though she had been putting it off for the longest time however, mostly out of pity for the lower variety of hollows that linger about the land. Arrancarfication is not a pleasant ritual at all, all three of the hollows here should know that very well.

"You two up for a little bit of a hunt?"

[Chihiro 六]

Uiko heard Furiko speak and she would sigh at her words. She then smiled and nodded at her. "Sure, why not? Sounds like fun anyways." She stated but then she looked down at herself and then looked at where she was buried. She then ran over there and pulled out the orange green combat boots she had been buried in that she had slipped off during the battle earlier on. She then slipped them back on and walked up to them "What's the location anyways?" She asked but then she squinted at the distance where the base of the Arrancar and Espada were, thinking about who this Koga person was that would kill Arrancar such as herself.

The dark haired female had closed her eyes and she would sigh once again thinking 'What was I like before this? I know these people...But how do I know them...?' She asked as she would grunt and scratch her head repeatedly. She searched her brain until she would say aloud "UGH! What is going on!?" Uiko all of a sudden being in a slight state of confusion wondering what the hell happened but then she shook her head quickly and stated "S-Shall we go?"
