Training for SP
It was so very very droll. Watching as the other hollows milled about, hungering for eachother up on the surface, whilst down below they simply raged and fought. She supposed she should not have been so very surprised. Something about it just was....different. She herself? She stayed down below. Down in the deep dark where all around her she simply was.....fighting. Strange as it were, she found herself engaged with other hollows, which she found fairly strange given that in the world of the living, and even the soul society they had other priorities.
Even so? She found them following her darkly. One hollow in particular decided that she was particularly tasty, but soon something....caught the attention of the hollow. A sudden spiritual pressure that suddenly caused them to race off, and cause Jyuria's head to tilt as her attentions drifted in the direction of the disturbance. For a moment she almost didn't recognize them. Her memories of her life as a quincy were so very very fuzzy, from time to time she wondered if she would ever remember all of it. But THIS, she could remember.
Arrancar. A lot of them actually... Herded in, they didn't even have Las Noches uniforms yet, as most of them seemed to be brand spanking new. One of them however was very obviously not. He looked down upon them with a sort of disdain one might look upon failed children, and Jyuria fell silent and unseen as suddenly a voice blared out from the stern-looking arrancar, his hands behind his back as he addressed the confused and worried-looking arrancar before him, even Jyuria felt a slight chill with the way he talked aloud.
"Listen up you disgusting filth. I'm going to tell you this once and ONLY once. Among all the arrancar, YOU? Are trash. The lowest brand of us, and in DIRE need of some toughening!" he spar, shaking his headas he strode from left to right, eyes narrowing for just a moment before a slow, malicious smile crept across those features of him, a gentle little chuckle escaping from him as his tone suddenly became softer, but at the very same time so very much more sinister. A dripping malice about his speech that made them shudder.
"But that's why you're here. This is the best way for you saps to make up for your incredible lack of power, you'll be spending time down here. In the Menos Forest. Oh sure, a couple of ya will be dying! There's no doubt about that. But those of you that DO survive, will be worthy of remaining in Las Noches. Heh......Enjoy runts." Came that last gravely remark before all at once he vanished, suddenly leaving them as a sonido ejected him from the area and left that small crowd of arrancar into groups. Some of them clearly were....worried, others took action, either striding off alone or forming small gangs as they began to spread out, looking for shelter or whatever else it was that they thought would huhhhlk!
Her thoughts were interrupted a suddenly she was shoved up against a tree, all three eyes suddenly wide as she looked upon that Arrancar from before. The dark man with a wicked smile. At his hands? One of the arrancar from below. Dead, with his chest torn out and his eyes already dimming. For a brief moment she wasn't sure what to feel, and she already prepared to use her bandages on the man, but before she could, a soft...deep little chuckle escaped his lips and he shook his head at her as his fingers tightened around her chest.
"A lady? Well this is rare for a hollow. Where are my manners? My name's Yuja. I see you've been eying that lot hmm?" He ventured, tilting his head this way and that as he looked her up and down, lightly noticing the strength behind those bandages, even as he knew she was resisting the urge to have them bite him. He chuckled mirthfully, shaking his head before suddenly a wide grin spread across his features, dropping the dying one beside the both of them as he suddenly backed off.
"Tell you what smallfry. Why don't I leave you with this one? I'm sure you're hungry. I'm sure you're hungry fer a lot of things~ And it just so happens, I need that there crowd of greenhorns thinned. So here's the deal. I'll let you play with em. Eat the ones you can. An if ya don't get yerself killed, I might bring some more here sometime." He noted, winking at her in a manner that would have disgusted a normal spirit, she simply stared ahead, considering his....proposition.
"I know you could surely use the meals. Oh I know definitely how quickly ya'll hollows can grow. I may even take an interest in breakin yer mask one of these days if you get strong enough~ You ain't got much to lose after all." He cackled, shaking his head before kicking the corpse in her direction and turning away, and before her very eyes, he vanished, leaving her to her thoughts as she slowly looked down at the body she had been offered.
For several long moments, she considered, slowly sinking her bandages into the corpse as she thought it over. The idea of killing and hunting these arrancar. Working with this....Yuja person. She knew it was a dangerous game trusting arrancar, they were very.....diverse in their temperament. But it was also probably her best shot at trying to grow strong. Strong enough to find her Quincy bretheren.... and give them what they deserved.
"Wh-?!"
The noise caused her to suddenly turn around, spotting another one, staring in shock, next to the tree Jyuria had been only moments before, eyes focused on that corpse at the hollow's feet. Her eyes narrowed and she watched them take a step back uncertainly before finally drawing their zanpaku'to, a sudden anger in their eyes. How pitiful, these really WERE just child arrancar. In but the span of a moment, she was suddenly gone, moving quickly to the tree she had laid a rune on but moments before, the high speed technique catching them off guard.
It was the work of a moment to suddenly bind that arrancaress from head to toe in her bandages, suddenly hardening them as they screamed, those teeth on the inside of the bandages already doing their work, before at long last the Coffin was complete, and suddenly there was a deep, sickening CRUNCH as the woman's body was crushed inside of that tomb of bandages, their blood spraying and spattering across Jyuria's mask and body, eyes slowly narrowing as she looked at the bodies, both of them already well on their way to being completely consumed.
Perhaps this could benefit her after all...
