Adjuchas Class 4
It was late night in Karakura but the city was always ripe with life even if the humans who made up the majority of the populace was oblivious to it. This place in particular was always teeming with the Reiatsu of a myriad of creatures such as his favorite diet of Hollows but it also teemed with Shinigami and the likes which was less fortunate. As to why he would seek himself to a place he knew was well watched by the death reapers the answer was very simple, they were weaker than the greater menos of Hueco Mundo. Far too many times Valentin had encountered foes that had nearly been his end be it Adjuchas greater than himself or even Arrancar although he should be fair with the fact that he tended to piss them off with his talk of them being imperfect.
Regardless, tonight he was on the hunt for Hollow flesh for he was but one of many Menos that lurked the streets of the city looking to prey on those weaker than themselves, few of his fellow Hollow kind expected themselves to be food in the human world however which was the part Valentin loved most about his visit here. As an Adjuchas his small frame was little different from a human at six feet, a perfect size for him to skulk about the city without attracting attention to himself which he made full use of as he listened closely for any disturbance in the night, he was quite skilled at remaining unseen but so were most and thus he waited for his brethren to act first, either to hear the frightful screams of humans or the bestial howls of Hollows.
He did at times hear footsteps of spiritual entities darting across the rooftops but it was not in Valentin's interest to become known to them and thus in the shadows he remained, but he did pursue the sounds, something had attracted the figure to that direction and Valentin was the curious sort. At a pace far more slowly he traveled in their footsteps but by the time he had arrived the party was already over. Beneath the light of a lamp post stood two figures with one holding the ragged remains of a Shinigami in his grip, throat crushed and drowned in it's own blood. The figure holding the Shinigami by the neck was a broad framed Adjuchas, a wall of muscle and meat in the shape of a man 10 feet tall and missing an arm.
The second Adjuchas looked more akin to a dog, a large and very foul looking dog who most certainly had never been called a good boy. The foul thing seeming to secrete some form of acid that dripped from it's teeth, burning holes into the concrete below. ''I lost an arm to get my hands around his neck, the Shinigami is mine to eat!'' the burly one said defiantly to his would be partner ''You lost an aaaarm because you let yourself be disstracted. I wasss the one who provided ample oopportunity you brrute!'' the other bickered back, an argument about food was it? those always went sour Valentin noted from plentiful experience.
Slowly he crept closer to the two as their arguing escalated, taking advantage of his small frame to sneak along a fence right up to the edge of their location. ''Listen you damn MUTT! i lost an ARM, those don't grow on trees! i'm stuck like this so the damn thing is mine, not even close to the cost of bringing down. This idea of yours was shit!'' ''My idea? you were the one complaiiining humanss didn't do anything to satiate yourrr hungerrr no more! i'm no more ressponsible than that gut of yoursss!'' that was the last drop for the burly Adjuchas, in anger he hurled the corpse right at the dog Adjuchas, slamming a hole right through the fence Valentin was hiding behind before slamming his great fist down at his former ally.
The dog creature being significantly faster than his counterpart dodged both attacks and returned the favour by attempting to take a bite of the brutes throat, alas he managed only to sink his acid-laced fangs into the chest of his foe near the collarbone which had the brute howl loudly in pain before swatting the dogged creature off him and straight into the lamp post that had previously illuminated them, breaking both the lamp post as well as several of the dog Adjuchas ribs. Both injured and both very angry with the other this would end in nothing but death for one of them. For the moment they had even forgotten about where the Shinigami had been thrown.
While they fought and weakened themselves for Valentin he was having a superb meal together with the entertainment he pried from the holes in the fence, glad as always that most of Hollow kind was a predictable bunch that could be counted on to betray each other at the slightest hint of dissatisfaction. Still, he ate quietly as not to rouse attention to himself and avoided the crunching of bones between his teeth, eating of the Shinigami's arm as one would spareribs. If only he had the spices and time to grill the spirit up into a finer meal than the sloppy mess that was raw flesh. Still, the Shinigami had been of the stronger sort while it lived so the taste was pleasant regardless.
Soon enough though he put the remains of the Shinigami down and dried his mouth using it's black robes as the fight between the two Adjuchas was coming to a close. Ridden with injuries on both sides with no clear victor they growled at each other defiantly as neither wanted to initiate the next attack at their hampered speed, instead it would be Valentin's honour to decide the winner of their little bout. Leaving the safety of the fence he snuck up behind the limping giant of an Adjuchas, it's large frame more than enough to hide Valentin from the eyes of the other. Even until the end the brute Adjuchas didn't notice Valentin until it was too late, the humanoid Adjuchas clawed hand plucking out his heart from his back and consuming it greedily.
With a loud thud the giant slammed forward unto the ground and the dogged Hollow winced back in fright of the new arrival ''M-most gracious! the brute went ferrral out of nowhere!'' it spoke when it saw Valentin to be a Hollow as well, attempting to be grateful to it's saviour. ''Therrr was a slainn Shinigami here somewhere the brrute threw it nearby, you mayy have it, as thanksss.'' The wounded thing offered to buy his own safety, unaware that Valentin had already partaken of that meal. The new arrival however didn't bother to reply, only walking forwards towards the dog shaped Adjuchas who quickly got the hint and attempted to flee hampened as it's physical abilities were, Valentin had no intention to skip out on desert.
Darting right after it the Adjuchas had no hope to get away in it's current state, narrowly avoiding a swipe of Valentin's claws as it dashed into a back alley with Valentin close on it's heel. With the terror and adrenaline pumping in it's blood stream traveling the narrow passage felt like an eternity for the creature as it knew full well the price of slowing down for just a moment. In full blown panic it did the only sensible thing possible and tried to vanish within the safety of an Ulcera, to hide it's existence in the valley of screams as it threw open a rift in front of itself and feeling the front of it's body sink into the valley. But while for a moment it had felt the bliss of safety that false hope was snuffed out as it felt a hand gripping it's hind leg.
Howling in terror the dog Hollow was dragged out from the safety of the Ulcera, slashing and biting at anything it could out of primal instinct but it was a pointless effort. The clawed hand found it's way to the creature's heart anyhow and just like the first time tore it out and discarded the dying being. The last thing the Hollow was ever to see was a greater member of it's species eating it's heart, chunk after chunk as if it were an apple, soon after the spark of life faded from the beast and Valentin was alone once more. So far it was a successful hunt for him, the pieces had simply fallen into place just where he needed them to but it would have been naive to expect such a strike of fortune to hold up again.
In truth some attention might have been roused his way, his prey had howled it's guts out before it croaked and the little argument between the two now deceased Adjuchas had been anything but quiet. Perhaps more Hollow would be dragged his way, preferably the weaker kind but he had been told to be watchful of the world of the living, supposedly there were more than just Shinigami and the occasional Quincy ready to protect their turf. Some even claiming there were plushy-toys and vampires with super powers which he remembered scoffing at, he remembered nothing of the sort from the fragments of his earlier life, that sort of thing should have been noticed somehow in modern society. Regardless of his doubts Valentin slowly made his retreat to the darkness of the alley, come what may he wasn't willing to stick around in the light to find out.
