Brotha!?

[Otaku.Legend]

Leaving the inter-dimensional portal, Garganta Infinita, I commenced my roaming of the quartz desert, Hueco Mundo. The ever present night sky and fake moon floating above in the sky, it brought an ever lasting sadness to me. This never changing scene of death and lifelessness, it brought me no joy.

Having destroyed my home in a past encounter with a Shinigami, I no longer possessed a place to call home thus I seek a new home. There had to be hundreds upon hundreds of other caves or holes I could call home in this lonesome desert. As I trekked lightly across the desert sands, I reminisced upon all my past encounters with Shinigami, humans, hollow and the like. Of all my past encounters, I noticed how every single one of them had in some way turned into a battle before I could accomplish anything worth mentioning.

I truly hoped this day would not turn into yet another encounter with an enemy that would once again cause a battle to ensue. After gaining my Gillian form, i began to gain this distaste for battle even though I am a Hollow. It is very odd for a Hollow to dislike battle yet I could not wrap this feeling I had whenever I thought of battle. Simply fighting for the heck of it, that is not something I could do even if I wanted to. There would be no hostility unless hostility is shown towards me in which I will do everything in my power to defend myself. Step by step, I continued my roaming, in search of a new home to call my own.

[-Souzen]

My lonely sojourn had been illuminating to say the least. T'would appear as if I wasn't the only one of my kind to not be infected by the innate bloodthirstiness that plagued my brethren, warping their personality until nothing remained but a base and menial animal. Perhaps others existed apart from myself and the draconian ally I had found. Yet, I still found him quite unnerving. He was both possessed with a savage fury and a cold calculating ambition. How long would I be considered his ally when I surpassed him? Shaking these thoughts from my head I would continue my lonely trek across the vast quarts dessert of Heuco mundo.

Yet, my mind clouded by these troubled thoughts, failed to register the close proximity of another being. A being who far surpassed me in terms of reiatsu. Deadly miasma of fear spreading throughout my body I would freeze and behold his form. Oh what a dread figure confronted my visage; reminiscent of the famed "samurai" of Nippon I had heard of long ago when I had been shackled to my mortal shell. My reflexes pumped adrenaline into my body, willing it into fight or flight. Yet, my heart, or what could be considered such in my form, urged me to something, that I'm sure, was unprecedented amongst my kind.

I would approach him, cruel talons spread wide in a peaceful gesture. My body would display no outward signs of hostility as I let my voice break the abject silence of the shifting sands.

"I mean you no harm brother, I do not desire to fight you, rather I only seek a shelter to find some small solace in. I urge you to leave me be and go about your way."

[Otaku.Legend]

Lost within my own train of thought, I also failed to notice another being within close proximity of myself. Only when the creatures pleading voice echoed forth did I realize his presence standing no more than a few meters away from me. His words of pleading, wishing for me to spare his life as he searched for a home to call his own. Did I truly seem like such a menacing creature of this desert? Truly I did not project any force of hostility toward anyone so why would such a creature act with such fear toward me? I could not comprehend such actions — rather such action weighed heavily upon my soul as I could not help but think I really am nothing more than a lustful creature of the night.

Watching as the creature stood before me, I sensed no hostility from his being thus I found no reason to be forceful. Rather, I could not slay this creature even if I forced myself to do so; for he possessed intelligence. He is unlike the other Hollow who roam the quartz desert of Hueco Mundo; their hostility and desire to feed knowing no bounds. They would surely attack anyone upon site yet this creature did no such thing nor did he show any signs of hostility toward me but instead wished for his own safety.

"Fear not my brother for I wish to do no harm. It seems you too possess a fragment of intelligence unlike many other who roam this desert."

[/i] I spoke in a calm and collective tone, my voice showing I truly meant no harm.

The bird-like Hollows final words struck me as ever so surprising as it seemed I was not the only one who seek a place to call my own. We are two lost kids seeking the bosom of our mothers yet no matter how hard we may try, there can be no such warmth for us. I pitied this creature and I pitied myself for we seek something we shall never receive. A sad sigh flowing past my milky white mask, I looked to the sky before reverting my attention back to the Hollow.

'So you also seek a place to call your own as I do. Such pitiful creatures we are."[/i] My tone full of . . . sadness? Could Hollow even feel such an emotion for others? I did not understand it myself yet this overwhelming feeling could only be explained by such a word. Just what changes are occurring to me as the days pass me by?[/blockquote][/font]

[-Souzen]

Amazement would cross my features I beheld yet another individual possessing that divine spark of sentience. Scarcely could I believe my good fortune. It seems I would avoid a cruel fate and perchance gain an ally in this desolate wasteland. With great interest I would survey his figure; noticing the deep melancholy that came over him. It would appear my first glance at him had been misleading and I erred on the part of caution. With the last of his words echoing the pity he felt for us, I would move closer standing but a few feet away now. My own baleful red eyes would take on a contemplative light, as much as my limited intelligence allowed. For I full knew I was not yet in control of my mental faculties. Nay, I had to achieve much more on my ambitious path before I could lay claim to my previous sublime nature.

" It would appear I have wronged you brother, I apologize for judging you as one of those bloodthirsty mongrols. Yet, I am not full grown into my power and have to err on the side of caution. Surely you understand."

Apologies now given I would move on to reflect upon his last statement.

" I do not pity us for finding some semblance of solace, however misguided it may be, in this desolate and barren waste. Rather I believe we are to be envied. We possess the ambition and wherewithal to become much more than mere fodder for those altruistic shinigami. Brother...we are destined for far greater things than any of us can imagine, we have only to live long enough to see the culmination of this fate."

[Otaku.Legend]

"Destined for greater things you say? Perhaps that is true, my brother. Do not worry if you have wronged me in anyway for you have not. It is all too common that we are attacked by our fellow Hollow brothers, the savage beast they are. I cannot help but pity them for they possess no intelligence, just gluttonous creatures."

[/i]

I had been some time since I met another Hollow of this caliber, possessing as much intelligence as he did when still within his Hollow form. I could not help but imagine just how more intelligent he would become once advancing to the level of Gillian, Adjuchas or perhaps even Arrancar. We are a rare kind, a species of Hollow who do not kill needlessly and are able to reason with one another. These quartz deserts have been lonely and perhaps I now found a person who I could call a companion; a being worthy of my trust. Of course such trust would not be gained lightly for we have known each others for no more than a few moments. Even so, I could not shake this sensation, a torrent of emotions told me he could be trusted; that he would one day prove to be a valuable ally.

"I do still pity ourselves, our yearn for knowledge and power. Should we succumb to such temptations and become lustful, we will revert back to our former selves. Nothing but mere shells with an insatiable desire for souls. I cannot go back to such ways — no, I will not go back to those ways. I refuse to be condemned to a life of purgatory."[/i]

Odd how I could express such thoughts, such emotions with another especially when the other being is a Hollow. Perhaps it is because he too shared my sentiments. We are creatures of intelligence who shall not fall but rise; rise to the top of world and beyond that if necessary. No, it is not power we seek but a sense of self; we yearn for a time where we can truly express feelings that we can assure are our own and not due to a lustful creature within us. There shall not be a day where we fall for we have already fallen to the bottom; we can no longer fall any further than we have right now thus the only way to go from here is up.

"Do you not concur with my sentiments, brother?"[/i][/blockquote][/font]

[-Souzen]

Oh how true my brothers words were. A divine illumination seemed to surround his figure as he incited a feeling in me, such that I had never felt before. Could it be? Was his brotherhood the purpose for my long and fruitless life? Oh what a heady fire coursed through my veins, igniting a passion and fervor I had not known I possessed. Yes, his words struck a resounding note within my heart. I, no...we! We would rise above our bestial heritage and seek what was truly ours.

Yet, what did we hope to achieve with our existence? Power? Knowledge? Wisdom? For now, it mattered naught. All that mattered is that we would climb to the zenith together. At the base of a great mountain we stood now, but I was sure someday we would reach the pinnacle. Sanquine orbs staring with a undisguised reverence I would hold out a taloned hand, slowly letting a single finger from the other hand run slowly across it. Incarnadine life blood would flow out of the slight wound, pooling in my palm. Gazing upon his noble visage my intent was laid bare.

"Brother...your words resound within the very confines of my soul. Together we will forge a path out of the ignominy of our brethren. The very world itself will shake at our tumultuous foot steps, regardless of whatever destiny is laid upon us."

And with that, I would offer my hand.

[Otaku.Legend]

Another unknown feeling coursed through my lifeless veins as my Hollow brother spoke, his words in condolence with my own. We truly are two unique beings, our brotherhood gaining intellectual levels Hollow should not have access to. Despite our odd and unexpected meeting, our dreams coincide with one another causing me to truly reminisce upon our encounter. I always believed fate is set for us yet the path we choose to follow is decided by us alone. Could this encounter be one of fate? Could this meeting set the beginning of our path towards the apex of the Hollow world and beyond? I did not know fully but this strange sensation told me that I should accept this for what it is.

In tandem with his own actions, I too would reveal a palm before placing a small cut upon its surface. Dark blood flowed freely from the wound though not in excess. Extending my own hand, I carefully grasped his talon in my own, making sure my bladed extremities did not cause him any harm. Hence forth, a blood bond is shared between this Hollow and I. Our goals one in the same. There would be nothing that could stop us from reaching our goals, not even the gods could stop us from grasping our destiny.

"No one shall prevent our ascent to the top. Brother, you may call me Animus."

Forced to use a pseudo name, I did not possess a real name to call my own. I had no choice but to use a temporary name until I found one to call my own; an alias.

[-Souzen]

The pact would be sealed between us, setting my soul aflame with the rapture of the occasion. What had transpired here, on this day, was to be remembered in the annuls of history. The feeling coursing through my veins was...divine! Truly we would achieve greatness in whatever our goals may be. Pausing for a brief moment I would retract my hand and stare at the mingled pools of sanguine between myself and my new-found brother.

Occuli would be drawn towards the alabaster moon hanging permanently over the darkened shroud of sky that was Heuco Mundo. A small smile would cross my countenance as I mused on how the rancid moon peered on to our selfless alliance. Ah what sweet irony it was! Turning my head I would listen as my brother proffered his name, giving me something to call him by other than our new found relation. Nodding graciously I would clear my throat and offer my own.

" No one, be they Human, Quincy, Hollow or Shinigami shall stop our advent, lest they invite our tempestuous wrath. You may call me Souzen, brother."

My name now given I would ponder as to, what now? Lofty goals and momentous rites had been enacted and devised. Yet, how would we go about such things? I knew full well i was not in the full bloom of my power yet, and I could only surmise my brother was only but a Gillian class hollow. We were hardly made of the stuff of legends, especially me. However, all we could do was put our utmost in obtaining both the knowledge and power we needed to make our dreams become reality. Still, I would voice my concern to my brother.

" What do we do now brother? Where shall we go? What shall we do?"

[Otaku.Legend]

"Souzen, it an honor to meet you."

Listening intently to the words of my new found brother, I could not help but muse at his question. A slight chuckle escaping my lips, just loud enough for him to hear yet not alerting any other being within the area. Repositioning my own hand behind my cloak, I looked to my brother who seek guidance to the next step toward our goals.

"You amuse me, brother. What do we do now you ask? We do what we originally set out to do. We seek a place, a home to call our own. When we do this, we shall then proceed to the next step."

One day we would reach the apex of our powers but that day is not now. Our power not yet high enough to do what we wanted, we needed to gain more strength before we attempted at anything. However, we would have to proceed on the side of caution for this journey for power and knowledge is what has led many Hollow to their beastly forms. Losing sight of our goals is what will transform us into nothing more than savage beast like the rest of our brothers.

Taking the first of many steps, I proceeded forth into the quartz desert of Hueco Mundo; hopefully with Souzen following me. We seek a place to call our own, a home where we may return to no matter where we may travel. Though most Hollow called caves within the side of earthen structures home, I seek something more than just that. This home did not even require the presence of a roof or walls — rather, I seek a place where I felt comfortable and safe. Even if that place is nothing more than a small gathering of rocks in a circular formation, that would suffice as home if I felt at ease. Of course, my brother would have to feel at ease as well for us to call that place, home. A sanctuary for us from the world. An untouchable place.

[G R E E D]

She saw two gathered in place, their monstrous figures complimenting their newly acquired state as dominant Hollow. Ok! I got it! I KNOW we’re at war!

[/i] Just barely returning from her real world scuffles, Rosa would be glad to be away from all the black garbed, sword toting assholes that constantly threatened her. But geeze! Leave ME out of it!!![/i] Kicking a rock nearby, she cursed a few times before deciding to finally approach the two, her rage over Shinigami finally subsiding. Around thirty meters or so away she’d shuffle without regard, relaxed under her tainted mask. Her humanoid, female appearance would most likely force an odd stare from the two, though she was ready to fend herself should these beasts prove dangerous. Strangers…?[/i]

She stopped progressing – …your move.[/i]
[/blockquote][/font][/size]

[-Souzen]

Expectantly I would look to my elder brother for guidance on what do to. Fervent joy shone in my eyes, washing away the semblance of animistic fury that I new lurked in there depths due to my intrinsic nature as a hollow. My brother wouldn't disappoint. We need to find a home, a sanctuary with which to call our own. Only there could we begin to gather strength and knowledge and began our grand journey. Ah! How blessed was I to have such a brother. I offered up a silent praise to whatever god I had paid homage to in my previous life; a name long forgotten amongst the world of the hollow. Yet, pay him homage I did, none the less.

However, the advent of a new source of reiatsu would cause my head to turn, looking at the new hollow that had arrived. Instantly the bristles on my neck would rise in anticipation, would our brotherly pact be tried this early on. Looking to Animus I would look back to the hollow. I wished for no conflict here...not now.

" We mean you no harm. Please move on and leave us be."

Succinctly stated I hoped my words would trigger some sort of peaceful response from the hollow. If not...well I'd rather not consider the alternative.

[Otaku.Legend]

Manifestation of another reiatsu signature brought my focus to the new being — rather, new Hollow. Analyzing its form, I could deduct its sex to be female from the feminine contours of the body. Though its form odd, it still retained partial characteristics of a Hollow such as mask; a Hollow hole could not be seen. Curiosity and disbelief getting the better of me; I pushed aside any signs of hostility if this Hollow performed any. This being — from its lack of hostility — showed it possessed some form of intelligence akin to Souzen and I. It is exceedingly rare for one to meet another Hollow of sentience yet for me to meet two in a matter of moments; my excitement could not be shaken.

I wished to befriend this creature and perhaps converse with it, if it so allowed me to do so. However, the words of my new brother did not sit well with me, for I did not like to avoid the chance to meet other new intelligent entities. Leaving caution with the wind, I would attempt to create some form of trust between both groups. Despite the dangers that came with such actions, I could not stop myself any longer. I was too trusting yet it is because of this trust that I have experienced things none have before; such as a civil conversation with a Shinigami.Topaz optics focusing upon Souzen, I addressed his manner of acting, for I did not approve.

"There is no need to be rude, brother. Can we not extend a hand of trust?"

Eyes reverting back to visage of the female Hollow, I extended a hand toward her in an act of peace.

"Forgive my brother. He is still inexperienced in dealing with other Hollow. However, his first words are of truth, we mean you no harm."

[G R E E D]

The silence tore through her psyche like wet paper upon the brink of a deluge, and although their lips continued to move, the girl would no longer hear them. So much…hate?

[/i] Having been reborn to evil, danger and a constant threat over her life, Rosa had quickly grown cynical and uninterested in pursuing her existence. But…I never…did anything...[/i] Even amongst those whose afflictions matched her own, she seemed to be unwanted, rejected…but wait – was that an invitation? You probably just wanna eat me…[/i] Eyeing the extended hand, Rosa would blush and look away, embarrassed by her sudden frozen self. Had she suddenly grown conscious of her appearance…? It was all so confusing. And then came her voice…

I…a m…a l o n e…

No longer would her thoughts rule, as the unused boxes of monstrous voice produce a rather half-pleasant sound. Even Rosa herself was surprised, the sad look equipped no longer worn. What…was that…?[/i] An odd face worn, she’d ignore the strangers for a moment as her hands rushed to her mouth, the idea of her voice sounding so…different forcing her to temporarily fear herself; it was then that the two strangers could note a set of twin holes, one on each palm, oddly resembling of the one larger one they sported on their bodies. I wonder…[/i] She was curious now, no longer feeling drug down by her sorrow. As sad as she was, she was also strong, flashes of her fury against her oppressors – damned Shinigami! – excitedly bringing her back to life.

…R o s a…?

[/blockquote][/font][/size]

[Otaku.Legend]

[OOC: Souzen said to skip him.]

"Rosa?" I thought to myself as the words reached my ears. Is that the name of this female Hollow? Pushing aside the fact she possessed enough intelligence to create a name for herself, it is exceedingly rare to meet a female Hollow. Not that female Hollow do not exist, but most do not know they are female or cannot be defined as female due to their monstrous bodies. Yet this one knew it is female, retaining a feminine figure reminiscent of its past life, probably. Noticing the double Hollow holes she possessed, positioned at the center of each palm; I could not help but be intrigued.

It is rare for new born Hollow to possess a Hollow hole anywhere besides the chest but for this one to not only move its Hollow hole but separate it into two parts — how oddly intriguing. Extended hand moving back behind the veil of my black cloak, I took a few steps closer to the female Hollow. After the initial step, I checked to see if she would retreat with a step back of her own; if not, I would take another step until I stood fifteen meters away. Hopefully Souzen would follow my lead but if not, it did not matter. He is less trusting of others than I am, my ability to understand and trust is what made me unique.

"Do not fret. Rosa, is that your name? I am Animus and the rude one is my brother. I will allow him to say his own name if he so wishes. I am sure he is mature enough to introduce himself."

A feeble attempt at a joke in hopes of rectifying the situation. Though a lame attempt, it is better than straight out diving into a flurry of questions and investigation.

"You do not need to fear us. We are harmless."

[-Souzen]

[ OOC: Hope you don't mind me changing the posting order. Time has allowed me the pleasure of Rping now ]

A sanguine blush would touch my features as they became flushed with embarrassment. My brothers admonishment struck a cord of envy deep within my soul-less heart. Oh how I loved him dearly, of that I was sure, despite our brief companionship. Yet how he irked me this day! Who was he to decide if that girl was like us? Should we not consolidate and grow further in power before risking all we worked for on a mere happenstance. Should his ploy work however, then I suppose we would gain a new ally. Trusting in his judgment I would back up, allowing him to be in the forefront and discuss with this mysterious visitor.

Their conversation would continue, albeit as much as possible with her decidingly stop-start speech pattern. When the time came, my brother gave me a chance to offer my name. Bowing slowly I would match her eyes with mine, hoping I could, at the very least, redress some of the rudeness I had offered her.

" My name is Souzen. Please forgive me former rudeness. I am only wary for my brother and I's safety."

Back straightening once more I would relax and continue to listen in on the conversation. Yet, my muscles still coiled and tensed despite my outwardly calm demeanor. Should this hollow try anything to harm myself or my brother, she would meet a swift and violent end.

[G R E E D]

His approach would cause a bit of doubt to linger within Rosa, but after seeing the friendly disposition of both fellow brethren, she’d lose her sudden urge to recoil. Could they be…lying?

[/i] A single hand had lifted itself to cover her mouth while the rest of her body appeared to lean back after a first backwards step, a clear sign the subject portraying such behavior was drowned in doubt and fear. But as a lack in action left her feeling safer, she would no longer don such insecurity. No…they couldn’t be…[/i] Her back-peddling ended then, countered with a few steps forward, cutting the female’s distance from the two by ten meters. Now a bit more relieved that some form of social, friendly opportunity had appeared, Rosa would relax; I feel…good![/i] Having to deal with Shinigami threatening her life was bad enough. She thought the blood-flow would never end...

…A n i m u s…S o u z e n...!!!

The name was mouthed off slowly, as if her mouth was still new and its owner was unable to operate it properly. For being such a ferocious beast able to tear a Shinigami’s throat clean off in the heat of battle, she sure knew how to tame the crowd with a deep roar! Oh wow…I sound so…girly!!![/i] Certainly her inner voice was nothing near what she actually spoke like, but in the end, it mattered not, for she realized one thing – she was smiling! She’d chuckle upon the introduction of the second male, the little girl voice continued as she enjoyed their overall politeness, and bowed once each their way. Like her they had retained their humanoid figure even in this depressing post-life existence, adding yet another level of comfort for the girl. They aren’t so bad…[/i] Although still smiling, her voice turned a tad bit serious for the moment; as she spoke, her hands clinched together behind her, decayed eyelashes batting furiously under her mask as her stare remained on the ground in front of them.

…F r i e n d s…?

[/blockquote][/font][/size]

[Otaku.Legend]

Analyzing the form of Rosa, I could feel the energy that emanated from her small form. This energy and the way she spoke gave clear signs that she is a new born Hollow; one who has not received much experience with the world. It seemed she is still new to her intelligence and has yet to grasp her own true intelligence. Her progress still far from complete, I am still glad she is not like the other Hollow who roam these lands; those savage beast. Her shyness and inability to speak of a proper tone told me her mind is still within the stages of childhood; explaining the reason for her bashful attitude toward us.

"Friends? Sure."

Despite what others think about me agreeing to such a request after such a short amount of time, I did not care. I am one who is quick to trusting and able to discern the hostile from the innocent. Foolish is what most would call my actions but it is because of this trusting nature that I possess allies others do not. The naturally distrusting nature of Hollow is what causes many of us to live as loners but not me. I will break from that chain of loneliness and take a step forward into the world of allies. With my steadily increasing list of acquaintances, I could easily have an entourage or a brotherhood of Hollow who I can rely on. Other Hollow may think that strength comes from oneself and the only person you can rely on is yourself but not me. I know that real strength; real power comes from the allies who surround you and your reasons for fighting.

"Souzen, I know you may think it foolish of me to trust this stranger so suddenly but you must remember this one fact. Alone we are weak but together we are strong. Besides, our brotherhood was formed within moments of our meeting but there is a trust between us. No matter how small, that trust is important. Remember that."

As cliche and preachy as that may sound, those are words I live by. I know that alone, one cannot change the world. Together, anything is possible.

[-Souzen]

It seems my apology was accepted as the child like feminine hollow continued on her disjointed ramblings. Standing near my brother I would hear her utter the single word: Friend. Ah what a ecstatic trill passed into my body at hearing that word. Truly in my time as a hollow I had never heard such a childish word. Friend? Of that I had no need. Only in my brother could I trust, everyone else would betray me in the end. Yet, I couldn't help but feel a wholesome feeling for this girl. Truly she was akin to a child...and that made her all the more remarkable. I would trust her and bring her in, indoctrinate her into our credo and see where it took us. Should she betray us, well the thought would never cross my mind so enamored was I with her at this moment.

Then, my brother would launch into a fiery speech, imploring me to trust her and treat her as I did him. Of this I had little problem accepting. Should she visit love upon me, I would do the same onto her. Welling up with pride I would reply to my brothers response, eying the young hollow with admiration and what could be called pride at her joining to our family.

"I shall follow your words brother and I see have erred in my hasty judgment. Together, not just you and I, but all three of us shall achieve some semblance of life amongst this harsh and unforgiving world. Together...are a family."

[G R E E D]

From behind her back came her once firmly clenched bloodied hands, the dried crimson a staple accessory in the female’s constantly improving wardrobe. No longer did they shake, for fear no longer inspired it to; such was the power of friendship, kinship and love, or at least, the potential of it! Giddy with positive, female emotions, the killing machine known as Rosario Avariciosa no longer felt inclined to tear at throats, eat souls or murder in general. No…now that she found family – referred to henceforth as nii-sama, or older brother! – she saw that even foul entities such as herself were granted a second chance at retribution through the bonds formed across the soul’s of others. And even if this perceived purgatory turned out to defraud her naivety and leave her deep into the clutches of the devil itself, at least Rosa could claim, moments before her true end, that she’d finally found reason to smile again.

…T o g e t h e r…n i i – s a m a ! ! !

Crumbling in place, she folded over her legs and now found herself resting atop the hollowed, rolling sand dunes so familiar to the barren world known as Hueco Mundo. She was but a few feet from her counter-parts, feeling comfortable enough to engage in some personal play time. The particular subject of child-like interest came over some rock nearby, and for a few seconds, the inanimate object claimed her attention like no other; however, after some time spent aimlessly sparking imaginary life midst her twisted psyche, a tinge of hunger pains struck her suddenly. Like lightning from the sky itself it came upon her, sudden and without warning. It was quiet at first, but upon the third calling, the rumble in her tummy was most likely heard by her new brothers; blushing, she’d turn shyly to both men.

…h u n g r y…f o r …S h i n i g a m i…

As she stood, the curvatures of her body and her overall well-built frame seemed to stand out, the once child-like state gone as she rose with the grace of a swan. Rosa and all that was innocent within her would now aid in morphing her into the ultimate walking dichotomy, broken only on the few times the child opened her mouth. She’d look both in the eye, and with a tilted head and smile, she winked both their ways.

[/font][/size]

[-Souzen]

T'would appear my exuberance was shared by my new found sister. Her childish delight couldn't fail to elicit a grin 'pon my visage and I turned to Animus to see if he too was affected by her. Yet, she would soon enough show us another side of her persona. Maniacal, fiendish delight showed upon her countenance as she spoke of her hunger for shinigami. Those cursed soul reapers...oh how I indeed did hate them. In the first few days of my creation they had attempted to rend and destroy me. I had barely escaped with my life. There misguided hubris was sorely misplaced when dealing with us hollow. Who were they to judge us!? Anger growing apparent on my features I would not in agreement with Rosa.

" Brother...I think it is time we made our presence known. Let us make a light foray into Soul society neh? Let us show the shinigami our worth!"

As always I would bow out of my deference for my elder, awaiting his orders.
