Mitsukai walked along the stone path that had crept from the urban maze of concrete, metal and glass, down through the peaceful slumber beneath the green canopy of trees. There were a number of other people there as well, some walking their dog, others spending time with their children or friends, talking and laughing beneath the bluest of skies.
There was a fountain near the middle of the park, an elaborate statue from which water poured, an artistic monument of architectural beauty and brilliance. There were a couple small kids who were leaning over the stone edge splashing each other with the cool waters collected in the basin beneath the statue, and on the opposite side two lovers sat holding hands and enjoying each other's beauty more than the natural beauty that stretched around them.
Such blissful naive ignorance, superflously ignoring the spiritual plight that had them surrounded. None of them, not one could see what Mitsukai saw, the blood spewing from the fountain, and a number of blashphemous symbols written in blood surrounding the structure at perfect mathematical angles from one another. This is what had brought Mitsukai here, this congregation of unholiness situated upon the very spot he stood, slowly siphoning the life force from the area.
Several questions came to mind. What dreadful ritual could pull the spiritual energy from the land itself and collect it? Who--or what--would do such a thing? What purpose did it serve? And how was it that a ghost could bleed in the first place? What did these symbols mean? And most importantly, how can this be put right and restored to its natural way? Feeling a natural sense of dread well up inside him, the sort one feels when being watched or hunted, Mitsukai nervously glanced around and began to inspect the area. .

A crack appeared on the sky as a black electrical wave escaped from the crack. The crack began to open into a form of blackhole, clearly invisible to a normal human. From the black hole emerged a Hollow, screeching from the pain of its empty heart. His eyes searched the surrounding, spotting the two children near the fountain. He didn't care who it was but he wanted to feed, and feed was what he was going to do as he sped towards the two unsuspecting children, ready to devour their souls.

Snapping his head up, he saw the horrid thing peel itself through what appeared to be a hole torn in the sky, and it made a horrible unearthly painful wail that resonated throughout its very being.
Another one! Where the Hell do these things come from anyways?! It moved faster than the others, possibly because it looked starving, but this ritual could have influenced it as well. Breaking into a sprint, he originally intended to scoop up the kids and dive out of the way, but the sheer velocity of the creature made that impossible. So he dove directly beneath it and caught it by gripping its rows of teeth when it descended open-jawed on its unsuspecting victims.
The stone cracked and his foot slipped through slamming into the ground as he braced himself, fending off the 'invisible assailant'. The teeth carved into each palm, and blood trickled down his arms as he twisted his leg and wrenched himself with a pivot at the waist and threw it to the side.

The Hollow screeched, tasting the warm red liquid. It hungered for more, but more importantly, it hungered for his soul. His soul was so delectable.
"You...I want your soul!" he screeched as his tail swooshed towards him, smacking him against a tree before darting towards him, his jaws wide open and ready to attack Mitsukai.

In a swirl of flames Two people emarged. One appeared to be a Shinagami while the other quickly put up the barrerar.
"Step away from the Hollow's."
A cool voice resounded as Kairi darted forwards. With a single movement she had slain one hollow and turned to face the other one.

The wounds on each palm were small and already beginning to close, but even though the blood loss was minimal at worst, he felt the Hunger begin, that familiar nagging tug on his stomache that would eventually force every other thought out from his mind. He turned his head slightly to the children, who were unable to make sense what was happening, and his eyes glimmered under the sun. "What are you still doing here?! Leave now!!"
He didn't want to transform in the presence of anybody. Only beings with strong spiritual power were able to see the changes, but there was no way for Mitsukai to know that. Still, he felt his body react to the presence of the Hollow, his skin seeming to tighten and bleach itself whiter, his eyes seeming to glow. And just his luck, some other party then decided to announce their presence and join in the fray.
"What the---?" Not these guys again...they're even scarier than the demons...

Azure watched as Kairi charged the second Hollow. Moveing to one side a second to late she was slammed into a tree.
"Azure fry him while I go for the back!!!"
Azure nodded then sent a ball of flame towards it. Kairi stood back up only to relize her stitches on her left arm had split open. Ignoring the pain and blood she moved to get behind the hollow. With a final leap she droped down sliceing the hollow in half thus cleanseing its soul. Dropping back to the ground she sighed.
"Dammit..."
Again she heard the scream of yet another Hollow as it entered the realm of the liveing. She winced as she cried out ocne it chomped down on her.
"dammit..Azure!!!!"
Blood dripped from her form as she started hitting it with her fist.

These things...they just keep coming! Is the fountain acting like some sort of beacon for them into this world? Mitsukai had no idea why he did what he did next; that is a question for the philosophers. He could have let the Soul Reapers and Hollows tear each other apart, since he was hunted by both sides it would have been all the better for him. But instead, he felt compelled to act rather than run, and indeed knowing exactly what he might be up against, without paying heed to sanity or reason he did what some might call 'the noble thing to do' and slammed his closed fist into the face of the Hollow with enough force to put a crack in its mask.
Mitsukai felt his heart pick up the beat as fresh blood splattered on the ground from the Soul Reaper, momentarily distracted by the Hunger. "Why are there so many of these things?!" He wasn't sure if he was referencing to the Soul Reapers, the Hollows, or both. Trying to keep himself aware of everybody's presence nearby (he wasn't about to completely turn his back on someone who can throw fireballs!) he charged the Hollow.

Feeling the hollow release her she growled then jumped into the air only to slice it in half. Once the soul was released and cleansed she droped down to one knee. Azure moved quickly to her side. As he did his elbow came up then broke the guys nose.
"Stay the hell away from her assbitch!"
He shouted coldly. Lifting Kairi into his arms he shook his head.
"I need to get you someplace safe..."
He mumbled to her half expecting Ichigo to show up.

Mitsukai flew backwards and rolled on the ground after being struck out of nowhere. The one who'd just hit him moved faster than he could accurately see and he didn't even have the chance to defend himself. "What the--?! What was that for?!" Mitsukai spat up some blood on the pavement and held his wrist to his nose. He clenched his teeth, glaring at the Soul Reaper who just clocked him in the face for no real reason...although he was greatful that he didn't try to smite him with his blade.
He got up carefully, slightly hungrier from the blood loss. He'd hoped that they wouldn't decide to go after him now that the danger was gone, and silently decided to leave the Soul Reapers and Hollows kill each other next time.

Ichigo was brought back to reality with the cries of the hollows.
"They are more than usual today...." he grumbled as he disappeared and reappeared in the park. And just as he predicted, there were a horde of them. It looked all too familiar, but then he noticed Kairi and Azure along with someone else. He jumped into the sky, slashing a hollows head that began to appear behind them.
"What the hell do you think you're doing!" he shouted to Azure.
"You're her guardian? Look at her! If you can't take care of her then disappear!" he shouted as he turned around and stabbed his sword onto the head of another one. 'This...this happened once before' Ichigo thought as he looked at Mitsukai.
"You...who are you"

"Hey you ass!"
Azure snapped.
"You will be the next to die if you get near Kairi-sama again..."
