What’s About to Happen?

[Teresa]

Hunger, Hunger, HUNGER!

Teresa couldn’t feel anything else, everything that she had obtained by devouring those humans, the people in black. It was all gone. How could she be this hungry! It felt as if her own stomach was eating the rest of her from within. Hunched over in the sewer tunnel she currently was located in, Teresa had to weigh her options once again. Was she going to deal with the pain that her hunger was causing her or risk her well being in order to potentially devour a few humans. She’d been expecting to take her time and really think over this problem, but found the decision was made for her after little more than a minute.

The major issue now wasn’t even that she was so hungry. It was that she had gotten this hungry this fast. She had managed to survive in that endless desert of cold darkness for what felt like weeks without any consumption. In the human world though she’d only been here a week, eaten half a dozen full bodies and yet now she was just as hungry as she had been while trapped in that desert. There was just one answer that she could come to, being here meant she didn’t just have a more abundant source of food, but she needed to eat more often as well.

Staying here in the human world really was going to be risk vs reward if these things continued. Something that she was going to have to really think about since she couldn’t return to the desert. This was a risk that she had to take in order to really evolve as a Hollow, to survive and flourish she’d just have to accept this and find someway to deal with it. Right now though her hunger was growing out of control and thus a fast food stop was necessary. Exiting the sewers and reaching the alleyway of the shopping district Teresa could already smell at the end of night that humans still were around and thus her hunt had started.

[Akando Bena]

Freezing in the shadow created by the alleyway Akando was on the hunt, noticing a lone human male probably in his mid fifties breaking of from his group heading towards Akando's direction. It's been a few days since he has eaten any prey, mostly due to the increased presence of people with swords or other supernatural powers. The hunger was eating him from the inside and he knew this was an opportunity he couldn't pass up, saliva dripping from his maw as he focused in on his soon to be meal. 

Clearly the man was drunk because the way he was stumbling around didn't leave to many reasons, especially when he started screaming at a couple of women across the street slurring his words while doing so. If the growing emptiness in his stomach meant anything it was that regardless of this mans condition Akando was set on feasting. From the alleyway all the man would hear is a voice of a young women almost whispering alluringly to him, "Hey there handsome, why don't you come over here so that I can get a closer look."

The moment the man heard these words a wide grin spread across his face showing exactly what thought was going through his mind and he was acting on it due to his drunken state. Stepping into the shadows the man didn't notice anything unusual, however he also didn't see the lady who was calling for his attention, "Come out here sweetie, let me show you how a man treats a women." For those who might have heard this man screaming these words would here his slurred speech and remember the man that was just walking by before ignoring the commotion altogether.

These would be the last words spoken by this man as he would soon find a claw coming from the darkness and cutting through his neck, it didn't take long for his body to stop moving. Shortly after this he was standing back up but with a new addition, looking down he would notice a chain attached to the center of his body reaching down into the now motionless corpse that was his own. His face began to contort in horror as he was readying to scream but even this was prevented as Akando lunged from his position that was in front of the man towards his head and with a quick chomp the soul fell lifeless to the ground. Taking this time Akando begins feasting on both the flesh sack and it's soul.

Not to long after he finished this small meal that did nothing to quench his hunger Akando began hearing a commotion, almost as if a group was hunting something. Keeping to the shadows he moved from alleyway to tree branches avoiding being spotted as well as he could in a town, while he was used to being stealthy in woods and nature it didn't mean he was completely incapable of hiding in a town like he was currently in. Following the noise would allow him to either find more food or give him information about something he may want to stay away from but only seeing what was creating the fuss would let him know.

[Teresa]

Moving out from the sewers and into the town was something that Teresa hadn’t done in the last few days, choosing to buy her time and deal with the hunger that always grew stronger with time. She was starting to figure things out not just about being a Hollow, but about the individuals that wore black. The ones that hunted them, tried to stop her, attacked her always. She was learning, learning that it didn’t take long once she started to hunt for them to find her.

She couldn’t put this off any longer though, if she did she didn’t just risk experiencing more pain than she has so far from hunger, but madness as well. Although a newer Hollow Teresa remembered a few memories from her imprisonment one of which was the sight of Hollows like herself. The major difference being they lacked the ability to speak, to plan, to achieve strength. They’d gone hungry for too long and thus their hunger devoured their own sanity. Teresa wasn’t going to allow herself to be devoured by anyone again, especially not herself.

Once in the alleyways Teresa could see that despite it being in the dead of night there we’re still sources of light scattered throughout the town. Something that was different from lanterns, brighter than them. They weren’t food though so despite not knowing anything about them Teresa didn’t focus on them instead listening. Picking up on the sound of a woman speaking to someone Teresa slowly approaches the voice, just on the edge of the alleyway stands a woman in provocative clothing speaking to herself. Teresa, unable to precise the phone held to her ear belting her to be alone comes from behind the woman wasting no time and sinking her fangs into the top of her skull.

Getting up behind her didn’t take long and due to Teresa’s height biting down on this woman’s head was no issue at all. The blank white mask that covered Teresa’s face cracked open to reveal her massive Cheshire like mouth filled with row upon row of massive fangs. Sinking down and percipient through the skull of the woman was no more difficult than a pencil breaking the durability of a sheet of paper. Blood pouring into her mouth Teresa sucks, experiencing the burst of flavor that brought about more pleasure to her existence than anything else so far.

The taste of human blood, organs, flesh was all simply amazing. The entire reason that Teresa risked staying in the world of humans was their taste, when she had been in that blank endless desert she’d been without food, not like other Hollows who could eat others like them, no Teresa couldn’t stand them. The taste, revolting, is no different than forcing someone to giggle down a mound of shit. Here though the prey was worth the risk. They were brilliant and brought with them the chance of eating the only other thing that tasted even better, the Adversaries.

Teresa knowing she had just ended this woman’s life could feel her soul, the flavor of it all and how after a moment went by it was gone. The body still tasted good though and right now her hunger wouldn’t allow her to leave anything behind. Dragging the corpse further into the alleyway in order to finish it off. After roughly a minute Teresa was finished and ready to move on when she heard the sound of a few individuals angry and screaming. “More prey!”

Devoured: 1 Class 8 Human

[Akando Bena]

Slinking into the shadows of another alleyway Akando finally made it to where the comotion was, it was a group of non other than the sword wielding people. At the moment it seemed like two of them were in an argument with the three remaining members of their group. The one doing most of the screaming was shouting about how they told the other three that it made more sense for them to split up and how they would have already found there target if they had done so. The other three were not happy listening to the barrage of I told you so and being called dumb for not listening to him in the first place.

The group argued for a few more minutes before the best thing for Akando took place, the group start to split where the to who clearly began the fight broke of from the other three and headed down the road while the other three went the opposite direction. The predator in Akando began to howl with joy as even in this animalistic state of mind he understood this meant potential for a much easier meal. Keeping to the darkness he stalked the two as they got farther and farther away from safety, until finally it was time, "Former. Saved the planet, once. Convinced an alien race that mosquitoes were an endangered species."

Hearing this strange voice come from the darkness down a separate side road the two Shinigami put up their defenses as they figured they would check it out after hearing the mention of aliens. While these two where distracted by focusing on what lie in front of them Akando slinks in behind them choosing to target first the women holding a sword that happened to be slightly behind her partner. The hunger began to eat at his mind as saliva poured from his mouth at the thought of feasting and quenching that hunger slightly for a moment.

With one quick dash Akando grabs the sword wielding wrist of the female Shinigami before tossing her to the side of the small road slamming her against the brick wall due to the strength he was using. Crying out she looks down at her hand that is now facing the wrong direction, to make matters worse her Zanpakuto was lying on the ground were Akando had tossed her just seconds prior. With frantic eyes she looks to her partner who at this point is dumbfounded and just standing there, she lifts her good hand up in an attempt to fight back speaking the words Hado #4 Byakurai, this sends a streak of pale lightning at Akando.

Noticing this vain attempt of self defense Akando simply side steps the attack causing it to miss altogether before going in for the kill. Rushing forward he he aims to finish this target off quickly before the other one becomes an issue. This of course is when her partner finally collects himself and goes in to prevent his partner from being slaughtered, raising his sword up in the air he swings downward in hopes of cleaving Akando's head off. Realizing what was about to happen he stops in place and jumps to the side avoiding decapitation by mere inches, this does not stop him from finishing what he started though for once he touches the ground after dodging the sword attack he immediately lunges for her throat again this time managing to land his hit shredding through her neck with his left claw.

Watching as his partner dies the male Shinigami screams in rage as he charges Akando with his Zanpakuto aiming to pierce him through the side, this was in vain as Akando twists his body and swipes the blade away with his right claw. "Fish are friends not food", this would send the man in a deeper rage than he already was as he knows it is meant to antagonize him, letting him know something incapable of normal speech and thought just massacered his partner. Preferring to eat before actually fighting this man Akando moves in to stun him hoping to give himself enough time to eat his new meal. With his animalistic mind kicking in there's only one way Akando knew how to pull this off right now, the angry Shinigami would watch as the hollow before him would lower his head, questioning why it would do this would leave to disaster as Akando charges the man smashing into him with his antler sending the Shinigami soaring through the air until he lands hard. While that Shingami is trying to collect himself Akando turns his attention to the lifeless body of the female Shinigami before devouring it while her partner is forced to watch incapable of stopping the scene before his eye's.

[Teresa]

Tracking down the source of the shouting that Teresa had heard wasn’t something exceptionally hard to accomplish due the fact that the shouting didn’t really stop. It just kept going on and on, over and over again without pause. Teresa was actually quite surprised by it. Whoever was shouting so much would probably make for a good meal with all that energy. It took her about two minutes to reach the location where she looked down from the top of a building to find that it was one of the adversaries shouting at others.

Strange. Teresa hadn’t ever seen the adversaries argue with one another. She’d seen more than a dozen of them now and eaten enough that she didn’t think she could count them all just on one hand anymore. All of them had tried to work together though even if they hadn’t succeeded. This one though was angry, really angry and Teresa watched as his anger fueled his soul. The color of his face goes from a mild bronze to a heated maroon. Although it was probably a better idea to try and devour the most possible, this one piqued Teresa’s interest with his rage.

Watching as the small group of adversaries break apart and go their separate ways Teresa has her eyes locked on the one fueled by his anger. Not only would he be the one that tasted best, but he’d likely also be off guard due to his extreme state of mind. His emotions in a whirlwind meant that he wasn’t at one hundred percentage most likely and Teresa knew she could take advantage of that. Beginning to move on the roof top though Teresa catches the sight of another Hollow. One much more animalistic than herself that thankfully has its eyes set on the other two adversaries.

Both hunting yet seeking two different prey, Teresa knew the other two would be tasty and aid in the submission of her starvation yet facing down another Hollow is something the lengthy one wishes not to commence. She wasn’t sure she could kill that Hollow, but most importantly she couldn’t eat it even if she did win. The taste of others, simply so bad that swallowing it is worse than breaking apart. The only comparison Teresa could even fathom to what it had been like in the endless sand was being forced to eat heated shit.

Killing another Hollow did nothing other than secure her prey yet this one wasn’t after the prey she had her eyes set on so allow him to live, she will. Moving along the rooftop once again Teresa makes sure to keep the adversary in eye sight at all times while doing her best not to alert him. After about a minute and a half the adversary stops and leans against a light post although to Teresa such a thing was foreign and she wondered why the lantern was so weird and bright. Muttering to himself in a typical angry manner the adversary starts to play over in his head how right he is in his decision.

Wasting no time Teresa slips through Ulcera vanishing from the rooftop only to reappear out from behind the curtain of reality behind the adversary. She wasn’t sure if he would be able to pick up on her if she didn’t act right away. Placing her long sharp fingers around the sides of this adversary’s head. Her thumbs digging into the ears, puncturing his eardrums. While at the same time her index and middle fingers on both hands wrap around to be shoved into the eyes. Eliminating two of the most essential senses right away while causing this enemy immense pain.

Teresa just squeezes, putting more and more pressure until she doesn’t just feel her fingers push through the eyes, but also the canal of the ears. Puncturing the brain chamber Teresa feels the body of her Emmy go limp. Although she didn’t really notice the enemy had been screaming for what little time he’d been in pain. The sensation of his blood, his flesh was captivating for this Hollow. Pushing even his screams from her awareness as she finally sinks her fangs into the back of the neck and begins her second happy meal.

Class 7 Shinigami: 1x

[Akando Bena]

It's such a shame that nothing seems to fill Akando's stomach, in fact, nothing seems to really quill his hunger at all. After swallowing the last bit of the Shinigami his hunger immediately came back at full power. What could he do to satiate this feeling? While he might never truly know there was one thing even his animal mind understood, eating helps lessen the feeling for a moment. Saliva falling from his mouth showed the extent of his hunger to the remaining Shinigami who at this point has gone pale after watching this creature devour their friend and being unable to get up and fight it.



Turning to face the male Shinigami Akando begins mocking him yet again, "Never gonna give you up, Never gonna let you down, Never gonna run around and desert you, Never gonna make you cry, Never gonna say goodbye, Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you." With the words flowing out of his mouth as if Rick Astley himself were singing he slowly inches closer to the Shinigami. In an effort to stop Akando the Swordsman stands up, teetering a little but manages to steady himself, before disappearing in the blink of an eye. Using Shunpo the Shinigami stoped next to the Wendigo, swinging his Zanpakuto from right to left hoping to open up Akando's right side. 


This was not a bad attempt at survival, it was just a bad choice for this Shinigami to make regarding Akando. While his Shunpo certainly surpassed the Hollow's speed, the sword slash did not. The moment the Shinigami landed next to him, Akando noticed him, this was largely due to his own speed and instinct. All Akando had to do was whip to face his attacker lifting and striking out with his own right claw at the arm currently swinging the sword. This strike seemed to be sufficient in stopping the attack as the man let out a yell while watching the Hollow's claw pierced right through the elbow joint sending the lower arm and weapon flying to the left a good five feet.



Akando knew that these people were capable of fighting even without a weapon, just as the woman did earlier, so he needed to end his prey now. Lunging forward he pins the man to the ground, preventing him from doing anything but scream. With one simple bite to the front of his head the Shinigami stopped struggling and fell limp, going silent. With his new food acquired Akando begins feasting yet again, calming the hunger slightly and only momentarily. After a few minutes have passed he cleans his bloodied claws and wipes his mouth, while doing this the hunger came back as it always does.



That's when Akando heard it, a scream coming from the direction he and the pair came from previously, sadly with his senses he couldn't tell how far the person was who made that noise. With a never ending hunger and the potential for more prey Akando set down the road sticking to the Shadows as he hunts for whatever or whomever was making that noise. By the time He arrives around the location he spots what looks like another Hollow, one of the three that left the other pair who was currently being eaten by the Hollow, and the remaining other two watching this horror show happen.

[Teresa]

The slick, warm feeling of blood lined Teresa’s hands. A sensation that until recently had been unknown to her. A sight that she hadn’t ever expected to view, one that certainly would have caused her to scream out in fear while she had been a human. That little village girl though had suffered long enough, a prisoner within the body of someone else. Suffering long enough that once she gained her freedom she threw herself into the nature of being a Hollow. Striving to obtain power, enough to keep her from being a prisoner ever again.

Right now though gaining power wasn’t on her mind nor was it what she was seeking. Right now her hunger needed to be satiated as it pulled at her internally. The pain it caused was something Teresa, like most Hollows, loathed. A feeling that made her believe her own stomach had to be devouring part of her. Killing the adversary with her long sharp fingers was something abnormal for her though. Choosing to toy with her food rather than finish him off with a single bite to the back of his neck. Of course that very action was what followed up her plunging into his brain.

Either way Teresa could feel the flavor of his flesh, the excellence of his blood. Taste that not even the humans could obtain without possessing the ability to see her. Blood poured down from the wound at the back of the adversary’s neck drenching Teresa’s mask and down her chin to her chest. As she chews the flesh the other two adversaries tremble i n fear and begin to back away. Terrified of the first Hollow the small group had seen able to rip apart one of them so easily. Perhaps they could have gotten away and alerted more of them, enough to bring down this human figure in a hollow that continues to feed on Karakura Town.

That never came to be though as Teresa picked up on the sound of feet behind her. Turning out of curiosity she sees that she’d left herself open. To adversaries that could very well have landed serious wounds upon her. It was just as the scorpion Hollow had mentioned. She had to learn to control the ecstasy that she experienced when eating either of the two tasty species. Right now though she had to get rid of these two cowards.

Turning around, Teresa allows the body of the first Shinigami to fall to the ground, turning around and rushing the others like a starved animal. Hunched over Teresa would look reminiscent of a bull due to her massive horns positioned forward as if she were planning to impale her adversaries on them. Although they were terrified, shaking and unprepared the adversaries stood their ground drawing their zanpakuto. However, they allowed their fear to slow them, giving Teresa the time she needed to reach them and lift her arms up and forward touching both on their chests.

“Be still, be quiet.”

Just as she ordered, both adversaries suddenly froze, unable to move their appendages, unable to utilize their zanpakuto to protect themselves. Teresa leaning forward to the female of the two getting close under her chin like some sort of animal. Inhaling the intoxicating scent of sweat, adrenaline and perhaps fear, an experience that causes Teresa to lose herself afterwards. Her mask already cracked open from the first victim. Her large fang filled mouth biting the throat of the adversary. Pulling back with a loud rip Teresa tears off the front half of the throat ending the adversary.

Chewing for a moment Teresa swallows then allows the female to fall to the ground, blood pouring out from the open wound to the body, clothing and ground. The male of the two now crying and trembling despite her orders stares at Teresa with eyes of pure contempt. “How dare prey gaze upon a predator in such a way.” Teresa speaks in a tone of scorn only to follow up with a fast bite of her fangs on his face taking away that gaze from her prey.

Devoured: Shinigami Class 8 (2x)

[Akando Bena]

Skulking through the shadows of the night, Akando nears the area where the scream came from, in fact he made it just in time to watch the Hollow disspatch the remaining two Shinigami. Peering out from the shadows Aknado just waits and watches the new Hollow finish it's meal. Will the animal mind cause him to attack for more potential food or avoid a fight due to the potential damage he could gain from a fight. Tilting his head showing it was obvious he was currently questioning his next move, even if it wasn't complex thoughts.



Just as soon as Akando began deciding what to do another group of Shinigami showed up, this time it was a group of four probably heading towards where they heard screaming. The group spotted Teresa standing in what they could only assume used to be their former comrades, with shouts of outrage they scream at the Hollow rushing forward in order to try bringing down this creature. Splitting up into two groups of two, one group went towards Teresa's left and the other around her right side. This would prove to be the worst possible decision the group made as they effectively made themselves into easier targets.



The group that went around Teresa's right side sprinted forward trying to cut her escape route off and thanks to good teamwork they both swung their swords from opposite directions coming inward, one low and the other high. This plan could have worked spectacularly if it wasn't for Akando, a second Hollow, sitting in the shadows. The group that went around her left side were trying to pincer her into the oncoming attack, however, before they could get close enough to truly force Teresa in that direction Akando would lunge forward from the darkness slashing his left claw in front of him, this claw managed not only to catch one of the Shinigami in the leg, but that left leg was now being torn of the body due to the differences in physical strength.



Letting out a Yell her partner turned to witness Akando rushing passed him with his partners leg being shoved into his mouth, this leg would disappear quickly as Akando basically inhaled it down into his stomach. The female Shinigami fell to the ground while her male partner turned, raising his zanpakuto up as a form of defense. Blood and saliva dripping from his maw meant Akando know had the taste of food in his mouth and this only means one thing, his hunger was going to be his main thought. If he thought the sword was going to stop this Hollow then the male Shinigami was severely underestimating his foe, with a swift jump forward Akando would vanish into the valley of screams only to reaper directly behind the man and woman soul reapers. Before either could react he snaps his head and mouth down, latching on to her throat before jumping to the right at full speed, to fast for her partner to do anything.



With the female in his mouth Akando applies immense force, crushing her windpipe and securing her as a meal. The man was in shock as the only thing he was able to do during that attack was watch his partner die. In front of his very eyes Akando will began to feast on her body, eating so fast it would seem he hasn't eaten in years. During the feasting his hunger was quelled, if only slightly, but this feeling only returned after the last swallow of his meal. Thankfully he understood one thing, if he wanted to have his hunger feel less he must eat, and it so happens that there is a stunned Shinigami still remaining.

[Teresa]

Shoving the flesh of the adversary through her mouth was something that Teresa had started to grow more accustomed to. When she had first become a Hollow she had allowed her savage nature to control the method of eating. She’d gotten used to how she could eat others in the last month or so though. Although to an outsider it wouldn’t really look like it, Teresa now could hold her mouth open better while securing the sustenance in her better. That didn’t make it any less messy though something that just came with how feverishly Teresa eats. The adversaries had gone down easily, something that she wasn’t sure about so far although didn’t give much thought due to the hunger controlling her mind at the moment.

It wouldn’t be until the additional adversaries arrived that the thin white Hollow with large curved horns stopped shoving flesh into her mouth. The noise that they all made as they rushed to her location was enough to draw her attention away from the body for a moment. Enough time that she could tell she was outnumbered now and couldn’t finish her meal. “Damn that scorpion for being right.” Teresa whispers to herself. Only last week had she come across a scorpion Hollow that had told her she couldn’t let her guard down to eat as carelessly as she does and it seems he was still right.

She had been kneeling over the corpse of the adversary yet knew that she couldn’t survive in that position. So getting back up to her feet Teresa watches as the two adversaries to her right rush her swinging their swords towards her in a way that she wouldn’t be able to evade both of them. Having no choice Teresa steps backwards leaning backwards into a fall only to seemingly vanish into the air as she falls backwards. Utilizing Ulcera, Teresa keeps herself from harm while appearing roughly ten feet behind the adversaries.

Changing her position Teresa takes in the location of the adversaries only to see that two of them were facing off against a different Hollow. One that had to have been in the area JT had either been stalking her or the adversaries. Either way right now it was fighting half of the threat and Teresa had no reason to fight other Hollows if her own survival wasn’t on the line. The taste of them was the most revolting thing she’d experienced so far. So keeping either away from others or just doing whatever she could to keep from fighting them was her usual choice.

As for the ones clad in black fabric that used swords though, they tasted better than everything else so far with the only exception being particularly powerful individuals like the human girl that could fly and use the air to fight. The one that had been a challenge to beat even with the large scorpion Hollow helping out. Wasting no time though Teresa rushes the two adversaries placing her hands on each shoulder. “Stab each other until you’re tired.” The sensation that she felt as she gave the command was unique, something she’d picked up only two weeks ago or so.

Perhaps the only thing she’d learned to do that could actually help in dangerous situations like this. Stepping backwards Teresa watched as the adversaries turned to one another obviously struggling to keep control over their body only for a moment to pass and both to begin thrusting their swords through the body of their ally. One after after blood began to pour from wounds as both cried and fell to the ground. Teresa, not willing to give up anything, stepped forward once again to begin devouring her victims.

Devoured: 2x Shinigami (Class 8)

[Akando Bena]

Starring down the Shinigami in front of him, Akando lets out a primal snarl. For this beast wasn't angry, no, but it was pushed into a craze by his hunger, a hunger that never ends and only seems to grow. Lunging forward he lashes out with his left claw while zipping past the left side of the Shinigami, all but taking that arm off the body. Letting out a howl of pain the male swordsmen seems to snap back to the grim reality that he was being faced with. This battle was more than likely going to be his last, however, that did not mean he doesn't intend on going down without struggling to his fullest.



Holding the Zanpakuto in his right hand that is still fully functional and not attached to an arm hanging by a thread to the rest of his body, he let's out a war cry. Akando would be watching this prey to the fullest extent of his abilities, but the swordsmen would suddenly disappear. Unused to dealing with an opponent using Shunpo, Akando flies into a frenzy searching for wherever his meal just disappeared to. Luckily for him and unlucky for the swordsmen, the Shinigami lands in front of Akando launching a single handed sword slash going downward in an attempt to split Akando's head in half.



Thanks to the fact Akando is superior in speed compared to the swordsmen, he simple steps to the right, thus completely dodging this last ditch effort attack. Once the sword was mostly through it's swing, Akando would bring his left claw up and forward, this time carving out his opponents throat. During his last moments the swordsmen could only drop the Zanpakuto before falling to the ground. He didn't suffer for long as he died from shock before he could actually bleed out. Now that his prey was dispatched Akando would begin devouring his meal, completely ignoring the other Hollow nearby.

[Teresa]

Devouring the flesh of two adversaries clad in black was something that Teresa had done now more than a handful of times, the small teenage girl that had been claimed in war had truly started to accept what she had become, no longer just saying that she did and going about with what needed to be done in order to fight off the hunger. No, she hadn’t attacked them quickly, ending them in an instant out of a feverish need to consume. She’d given them an orde3r and then stepped back, watched as she forced allies, potentially friends, to stab one another over and over again. She’d done something beyond what she would have thought possible while she had been human. She’d done something vile, just like those that had killed her.

They’d been evil, the same thing she was now.

As she watched the adversaries end one another on her command she felt a twinge of guilt over what she was seeing, how she was potentially ending not just the lives of friends, but perhaps loved ones just like the humans that she had been killing all across this strange city. Like always though the scent of the blood, the flesh, the soul, it overpowered everything else. It didn’t matter if she was causing harm to others with what she knew could happen to her if she stopped. She had to keep eating, had to keep getting stronger otherwise she wouldn’t just feel hungry. If she stopped, if she slowed down or got sloppy with what she was doing then she’d fail just like the Hollow that had devoured her. She would be doomed to become useless once again, powerless once again.

“Never again.”

The adversaries falling to the ground while embracing one another as friends faded from the light. Teresa could see that the ones that could harm her no longer possess that and thus she could start to eat once again. Before doing so though she turns to see the other Hollow, moving around like some sort of wounded animal. Perhaps that’s just the way that it looks? She wasn’t quite sure all she did know was that it seemed to be holding its own well enough against the adversary. Going about with treating her hunger was simple enough. Afterwards though about two minutes later after scarfing down both of them like some starved animal, she stands and turns to the other Hollow.

She could see now that she hadn’t been the only one to succeed, this other one was devouring the adversary that had stood against it. Teresa’s slender feminine white bone body was painted scarlet in the blood of her victims as she began to approach the more animalistic Hollow. She didn’t really have much interest in working alongside another Hollow so soon after doing it with the Scorpion, but couldn’t risk turning her back on this one and attacking her from behind, she was aware that most unlike herself didn’t mind the revolting taste of other Hollows. “No more prey. Go find more.”

[Akando Bena]

Covered in the blood of his prey, Akando begins cleaning himself, licking the still wet blood from his black fur. Hunting wasn't just a thing to gain power for this Hollow, in fact even the hunger he feels is on a different level compared to others of his kind. Every time he feasts on another being it always subdues that insatiable hunger, if only slightly, but that's all he wants. This hunger is what drives him to be more primal, taking over his thoughts and preventing his mind from mending.



After cleaning up most of the blood from his fur Akando finally begins acknowledging the other Hollow currently next to him. Is it worth the effort of fighting another Hollow capable of also quickly dispatching those swordsmen? Is the hunger that has already returned to full force going to drive the animalistic side to fight? All of these questions rotating around the Wendigo, but before he has time to act on any base instincts the other Hollow takes the first step.



"No more prey, go find more" was what Akando got from the Hollow, while he himself was to far primal to understand the words spoken, the animal in him felt the intent of hunting together for more food. In response to the Hollow's words he sits down and tilts his head, curious to see how this plays out when one of the two is ready to hunt anything to lessen the still growing hunger, even if only momentarily. Will they find more prey before Akando's hunger drives him to attack this temporary ally?



As if the world understood what was playing out currently, both Akando and Teresa would hear the shout of a man looking for someone. Even Akando with his primal mind was able to piece together the meaning of the shouts. Whoever was screaming was more than likely looking for the groups of Shinigami the two Hollow's have dispatched, in fact there's almost nothing that remains other than the possible empty Asauchi still laying around. As only one male Shinigami was shouting it would be difficult to tell if he was alone or in a party, thankfully with knew prey showing itself Akando was immediately willing to hunt with the other Hollow.

[Teresa]

Although she wasn’t really looking to team up with another Hollow so soon after the last time she had done that, this one seemed far more animalistic than the others that she’d come across. At least one of this size that could take down the adversaries in black. She’d seen a few other Hollows when she’d been in the world of sand that were no different than animals in the human world. She wasn’t so sure that this one was anything more than a wild animal like all the others. The fact it was licking the blood from its fur didn’t help convince her that what she was about to do wouldn’t be any different than someone talking to their pet.

This really wasn’t something that Teresa could judge as it continued to seem like she was waiting for an answer to come from nothing more than a common dog. Whether or not it could understand what she had said was also up in the air. This was really quite something, something that she didn’t really like due to the fact she knew at any moment another adversary might find her. Usually these individuals weren’t alone and when she devoured one of them another showed up right after. She didn’t have to wait long though as a scream was heard just a moment later.

She was expecting this other Hollow to rush towards the sound due to the other animalistic things that she had seen from them. Strange though Teresa would be the first to move in the direction of the scream. She had just finished devouring the adversaries yet her stomach was already telling the rest of her that starvation wasn’t that far off. She just had to hope that this wasn’t going to turn into a battle between herself and this other Hollow over the single scream that they both just heard.

[Akando Bena]

Watching as this other Hollow rushes off towards the sound, Akando begins sticking close by in the shadows. Using the other Hollow as bait, he plans on attacking the prey that decides to go after the charging Hollow. Rounding a corner they run into the group, there was two men and a woman, apparently they have decided to stay grouped up this night because of the decent Hollow threat they have been following up on. Turning to face the Hollow that came clearly into plain sight, they shout a couple of words to each other before they take up battle positions.



Both men take up positions near the front and draw their swords, the women on the other hand decided to hang back and keep her hands up and pointed towards the Hollow threat. It was clearly the girl who posed the biggest threat, so much so that Akando used the shadows to sneak past the guys and circle around to be behind the woman. One of the men surge forward to strike Teresa from the left, the other held back waiting to see what he can do to help the other man keep from being killed. The girl began to speak a long sentence, something about this screamed to Akando, he had to get rid of her now!



Lunging forward out of the shadows Akando lashes out with his claws to cut the tendons on the backside of her knee. The girl falls to the ground before she can get her Kido off, in fact, before she could really fight Akando he smacks her to the left, thus causing her to bounce off the wall with great force. The man who held back noticed this, but, can not do anything as he is currently making sure the other guy won't die to the other Hollow.



Moving over towards the just barely conscious girl, he raises his right claw before bringing it down, cutting her throat and killing her quite quickly. Akando will then decide to enjoy his meal, gulping down large portions of his food. The hunger slightly dissapates, however, as always it comes back as strong as ever. It wouldn't take him to long before his meal is completely gone, at this point he would look over to see how his "partner' is doing. If any of the Shinigami remain, he would help Teresa out and go after them.

[Teresa]

Chasing after the sound of the next prey was something that Teresa was more coaxed into by the hunger that had been building inside of her gut. The duel corpses of the previous prey hadn’t apparently been enough to even ride her over for more than a couple minutes. Something that made Teresa think for a moment that her hunger could perhaps be growing. What was she going to do if her hunger managed to build up faster or become more grave than it already was after even a few days. A thought she could only pray was completely unfounded and incorrect yet at the moment all she could do was throw herself at her prey.

Onc Teresa got there she was able to see that the house did in fact come from another small group of the adversaries clad in black fabric. Three of them to be exact enough to stuff her gut and hope that the hunger would subside long enough for her to find the next prey. Two males and a single female that seemed the sort to stay in the back and cast off magic. Teresa had seen a couple of them in the past and believed that they were the more difficult to handle as they didn’t seem to have a limit on what they could do. She was going to handle the female first when she realized that the other Hollow had come along with her.

The first male coming at her while the second stayed back was something that she’d seen almost enough that she’d have to start using her other hand to count. A swing to her side was something that most of these adversaries did. Teresa had no real battle experience before becoming a Hollow and everything she’d learned from first hand experience over the last two months. Many different life and death situations that were coming together to form a network of experience. Situations that Teresa no longer were puzzled by and thus her hand moved down grabbing the forearm of the adversary and stopping his slash before it could connect with her side.

Leaning her face forward almost like two individuals moving in for an exchange of intimacy. “Kill your partner.” Teresa whispers as her reiatsu seeps into the adversary like an infection suppressing his will as his body falls to her authority. Just like she had done with the first two adversaries, Teresa had given an order, one that was going to be accomplished whether the adversary wanted it or not. She could see the struggle in his eyes as his body turned and began to swing on his ally.

It took only a few strokes for the adversary to bring down his ally with a thrust forward to the chest which was followed up differently than the first two prey. The first two had been ordered to kill one another and stabbed each other multiple times until neither were left to oppose her. Right now the one that had been ordered was still fine and would regain control of himself in a moment. A moment too late though as Teresa’s mask cracks open revealing her massive wide mouth of fangs similar to a shark. Her large mouth biting down on the back of her adversary's neck into his throat.

The process of devouring her two victims was enough that it took the now painted red Hollow more than a minute to actually scarf down the victims. Something that was outside the norm for her as in the time she had been free Teresa had made it a habit to devour everything she could as swiftly as possible, sometimes consuming an entire human worth of flesh in under a minute. A vacuum cleaner of fangs with a bottomless container. Once she was done Teresa turned to the other Hollow knowing that he was able to bring down the female, a source of food that she would have preferred for herself yet knew that she gained nothing by facing down another Hollow. Even if she did win a confrontation between them she wouldn’t eat it as they like all others taste like shit.

“That should be all of them now.”
