Itamiku found himself wandering a long and winding road, that lead to his door. He's come this way before many a time and his feet led himself to the Redlight District by second nature. Unlike how he normally was, he found himself aware of the spiritual pressure he emitted, lowering it to that of a normal human being's spiritual flow. It seemed he was competent at this reiatsu thing after all, more so than most could say. While others could only tell the basics, type and density of reiatsu, he found himself contemplating at every power just how strong the wielder was. Itamiku found his eyes lifting to the heavens as he passed by a line of ghetto houses. "I spy with my little eyes..." Itamiku said softly to himself, watching a form descend slowly. "A Hollow..." He confirmed, his voice falling.
"Goody..."
Not that he had been expecting much different, however Hollows tended to be a little less... predictable... than their Shinigami counterparts. overall, he noticed that Animus had been the only one who contained enough intelligence to counter the craving he held for spirits with high spiritual pressures. Of course, there had always been the Shinigami who was out of the loop and decided he wasn't a threat. Of course, most Shinigami labeled him as a threat for the Hollow Reiatsu he possessed, Hollows hunted him for the strong spiritual energy he possessed, and only his fellow humans didn't hunt him... instead, hid in the confines of our own world, awaiting for someone to fight back the imminent threats and free Earth from the oppressive eyes of the Shinigami, even if those without the ability to see ghosts didn't know they were captives. It wasn't as though he had a choice as to what his reiatsu felt like. He had suddenly developed the ability to see spirits and because of it was prosecuted by the Shinigami. Something so uncontrollable... If that determined whether a human was a danger to society or not whoever came up with the rules were being completely unfair.
Itamiku trudged on, closer and closer to the Hollow who happened to be walking in his direction. Itamiku showed no signs of seeing the Hollow as it walked past, not even Itamiku's reiatsu signature would feel much different than a regular human's, only one skilled at sensing reiatsu would catch the small amount of Hollow that tinged his spiritual energy. Upon passing, he would turn around and follow the Hollow. Once they reached a somewhat secluded place, Itamiku would call out.
"Hold, my nameless masked marauder." Itamiku smirked at the alliteration, "Do you have the intelligence to not attack everything that has a spiritual pressure? Or should you be afraid?"

Itamiku's eyes searched over the creature's visage. It was monsterous to say the least. Its horns gave it the look of a devil walking on earth. However, its words brought another point of view to the human, whose hands were balled into fists in his sweat shirt pockets, ready if the Hollow were to lose its 'mind' if it ever did have one to begin with. “I have no heart," Its voice reached his ears, "emotions don’t cross my path and so does fear, this means that your second statement could not be true making the only other choice valid." Logical reasoning, for the most part. Itamiku let him continue, for the sake he did not look finished with his statement. "I do not attack everything I see, unlike my heart, my brain is still here, nameless curious questioner.”
"Verily, I have found that lack of fear does not stop one from doing stupid things," Itamiku reasoned, closing the distance between himself and the Hollow slowly until he stood three meters from it, "However, your actions have spoken louder than any words you may utter, so I will take your word for it... for now anyway." Itamiku added lazily at the end, noting that because it was peaceful now, it may at any time scumb to its Hollow cravings, give in to circumstance and hundreds of years of habit and influence it may have recieved from other Hollows. He had now met two Hollows who wished for peace and two who wished for a meal. How strange, did Hollows, like humans, only wish to survive? As he pondered this and many other questions, the hollow spoke, this time with questions of its own.
“Now, I believe its my turn to ask you a question or two. How can you see me while all those other humans could not? Is it that you are a Shinigami? Don’t bother lying, from my short time here I learned to see how human’s lie!"
"Ah, but therein lies both our curiosities! Indeed, I am a God of Death, however I go not by the name of Shinigami. I am a fugitive, a slave in the human world, running from Hollow and Shinigami alike. As many others like me, I know not how or why I see you, I only know I can." Thinking it was not enough explaination, he decided to elaborate. "I see you, thus, you are!" His smirk never faltered during his answer, apparently he was in a humerous mood, making light of a run-in with a hollow? Well, he could sense its reiatsu signature and could tell if it ended badly it wouldn't be for himself.
"You may wonder, 'there are more like you?' oh yes, many, many more. As I walk down the streets I feel the reaitsu signatures of many alterations of humans, I feel like this whole town has been..." He frowned, searching for the word, "saturated in reiatsu and through osmosis we have created an equalibrium within ourselves to match the constantly densening spiritual pressures around us." He explained. Seeing this may have confused the Hollow he continued. "It's because of creatures like you and Shinigami coming to the town in such frequent visits that have been changing us humans more and more. I suspect this place had more hollows coming here to feed at an earlier time, because of this, more shinigami also had to come here to protect the humans. All of a sudden, Humans began developing strange behavioural patterns and became aware of the spiritual world. These humans and Soul Society obviously didn't get along and were subdued by the stronger, more trained forces that were the Shinigami. The Humans went into hiding for many hundreds of years, biding our time, attracting more Hollows and Shinigami and continuing the snowball effect until many humans unintentionally began drawing on the powers of Hollows and Shinigami." Itamiku let his spiritual pressure go unchecked, looming greatly over the hollow before him, the obviously hollow spiritual pressure more than likely being noticed now by the Hollow.
"Yes. It is from you Hollows that I gained my power. To see spirits, to defend myself against Shinigami and your kind." He blinked, concluding his explaination of what he was and tilted his head.
"However, what draws a Hollow such as yourself to the Human world? Seeing as you aren't hungry and don't attack humans, what is the purpose for your being here?" He inquired, an eyebrow raised, his hands still in balled fists in his sweatshirt, and probably would remain so the entire meeting.

“Do you want me to feed on humans mister raconteur? This is the first time I’ve been in this town… since my transformation of course! I was exploring much like I suppose you were doing, I haven’t eaten a human since my existence as a… what do you call it? Hollow. Though by the looks of it, it seems I’m bound to become bloodthirsty thus eventually I might eat a human… you never know… it might be you!”
Itamiku laughed along with the Hollow, it wasn't sarcastic or cruel, he actually found the Hollow funny. With such a power as he had? It wasn't impossible, but rather it was highly improbable. Itamiku would have to make several huge blunders to end up in ANY Hollow's stomach.
“I suppose, from the looks of how you are ready to fight me should I lose control for the thirst of your races blood, you have met many hollows in your life, maybe not hollows that could control their thirst for your blood? Tell me, what else do you know about my race… hollows that is?”
Itamiku tilted his head. "How perceptive. Don't get me wrong when I say I take your word for it... I truly have no intention of fully trusting any Hollow unless," Itamiku tilted his head in thought of a condition. None came to mind. "No... I certainly don't fully trust any Hollow." He repeated. "Call me paranoid, but I haven't been given cause to trust you. Just because I'm stronger doesn't mean I'm going to allow you the chance to take advantage of a slight opening." Itamiku smirked, finding the Hollow's innocence to be almost comical. "As for your kind. I only know what I told you." Honestly? Wasn't much, yet it was the truth. "So, you know not what you are and you ask one who isn't like you?" Itamiku asked, trying to find the logic in that. "If I were to tell you that you were a flower, would you believe me?" He smiled. "If I told you your purpose was to co-exist with Humans peacefully, would you do so?"

“Well, two things would happen, if I believed you then I would be laughing at the fact that your race ran away from flowers, I’d ask you why were you lying to me because flowers don’t have bones. Though if you told me the second statement I would instantly know it was a lie, why run away from your own allies? All in all, I’d question your intelligence, and would wonder why Shinigami protect such brainless creatures. Though, I assume humans have enough run away do they not, the proof was right here, instead of walking away from a gruesome creature such as me you followed me and attempted to corner me. I have another question for you, why did you corner me; did you intend to kill me? Question me?”
Itamiku smirked. "Questions, and perhaps to kill if necessary. I knew not what you hungered for, you see, so if you were one of the many Hollows who would have attacked I would have been doing the community a favor, ridding you from Human ranks." Itamiku raised his eyebrows and continued, "For so long, humans have always been afraid. Of things we do not understand, of each other, of the unknown. We thrive off our own fear and discomfort. We build things that counter our fears and make us feel safer. Now, why would we run from you?" He asked, the answer obviously being rhetoric, there was a sarcastic feel about the question. "Because you are different, sure. However, I find that people, surprisingly, do not like ending up as food." He gave a chuckle. "So, you may ask why do I not run from you? Perhaps it's because I am open minded enough to see not all of your kind is seeking a full belly, but knowledge of themselves and of humans." He remembered Animus' quest for knowledge. "It's most curious, I met one such as you not three days ago. A tall 20 foot samurai with sword-like fingers. Spoke as though he was an Ancient. Perhaps you've met him? Goes by the name, Animus?" He paused for a yes or no. "Well, not that it matters anyway."

“As I’ve told you, I am of a young age as a hollow, in all honesty, the only Hollow I’ve met is Souzen, though, and it would be a pleasure to meet this hollow known as Animus.” Itamiku blinked. It was true, he was very ignorant. His age definatly would have something to do with it. Though, the Hollow seemed to abruptly lose interest in the conversation.
“I have learned much today thanks to you, I don’t think you will have to worry about me eating one of your kind anytime soon after meeting you, if what you said is true, there must be more like me and this Animus you spoke of, and it would be a pleasure to meet them as I’ve met you." Itamiku blinked, a smirk coming to his face. It seemed this one was either a good suck up, or meant what he was saying. No matter, the horned mask and large features would be enough description for Itamiku to recognize this hollow and pay him back if he went against his word. "Though, before I take my leave I must deliver the news that my name is Burlarse Guerrero, remember it!”
"Kyousha, Itamiku." He tossed out as the Hollow departed, Itamiku's eyes were able to follow the rapid movement and he almost had the urge to chase down the fleeing Hollow. Ahhh, what was the use now? He'd probably created the space time rift to whatever dimension he's from. The power disappeared. Yep... there he went. Itamiku blinked and shrugged, turning he sighed and walked back to the road. Eh... Dream was probably waiting... oh, right... the list... He took an ingredients list from his back pocket. Well... guess he'd hit the store first before going home...
