Joel was the second person to pop. He carried his zanpakuto with him which Ryuu realized she should probably take with her. She looked over his attire with some disbelief before snickering. âJoel weâre not going to Antarctica if thatâs what you were thinking. Itâs not that cold, but I guess I should throw on a jacket so you donât look too out of place.â As stood up straight and went to her room. She grabbed a random jacket as well as her sword. Ryuu kept it in a case that the humans used for some game called lacrosse. Leaving her room, she came upon Iehira as well.
âWell youâre an awful sight. Are you already getting sick of the human world?â She poked fun at his dull mood. They all gathered in the main room, and Ryuu looked around at the bored faces. They were missing Yasei and Junko, but she was desperate to head out. âWell I guess the other two went off on their own or something.â Ryuu wasnât expecting to be the one to lead the group as it just wasnât her thing.
With the way they carried themselves and the mood that was radiating off of them made anyone they passed by uncomfortable. If the public didnât know any better they were all delinquents being led by some angry looking red head. Ryuu didnât help the situation much either by glaring at anyone who stared at them too long. They had already gone through this area before, so there was nothing new to see. Eventually they reached the shopping district which was bustling with activity.
Ryuu hadnât been through this part of the area yet, so she was curious as to what was inside all the buildings. âWell I guess we can just explore on our own for a little while. I havenât been through here yet. Iâve heard that these areas are like candy to a baby. Hollows can be found here, so maybe weâll find one or two?â A wolfish grin flashed across her face. Ryuu was aware that wishing for Hollows to appear wasnât exactly great but in all honesty she needed something to do. She knew the others probably shared the same thoughts.
As Ryuu explored a bit, she saw a boutique full of clothing. When she got close enough she saw that it was full of frilly gowns. She stood in front of the window at just the right spot to where it looked like her reflection was wearing one of the dresses. She snickered at the idea of being forced to wear it. Turning on her heel, Ryuu decided to lean against the wall of the building with her hands stuffed in the pockets of her jacket. Red eyes surveyed the area in hopes of finding something interesting or maybe one of the others. A frown began to grow on her face. She was becoming increasingly frustrated with the lack of activity around the area. Ryuu had heard news of Hollows appearing in other areas and groups were already gathering points.
With a frustrated sigh Ryuu stepped away from the wall, turning her back to the rest of the shopping district as she took the first steps back to their apartment. Suddenly a man scream and there was a loud boom and debris was flung everywhere. She whipped around with a grin on her face. âWell itâs about damn time something happened!â The mask belonging to a Hollow appeared among the dust. The large creature walked towards her general direction. At first Ryuu was thinking of just taking care of it on her own but then the dust settled and Ryuu saw just how large the thing was. âWell shit. I guess thereâs more for us to cut down.â
Ryuu found an alleyway and quickly disposed of her gigai. It was a bit of a struggle, but she got out somehow. With zanpakuto in hand Ryuu ran back out. The Hollow was indeed big. The front arms were thick while the legs were thinner but they ended in points. A long tail whipped around destroying a bit more of the surrounding area. The shopping district was nearly empty save for a few stragglers, but Ryuu didnât particularly about that. âYâall better get your asses out here!â she looked around for the others before she ran at the Hollow.
She at one of the back legs, severing it completely. The Hollow began to tilt and struggle to stand up right but it didnât fall. Ryuu was focused on the Hollow itself, so she was unaware that the leg she had cut off was beginning to morph into something. It was turning into a smaller Hollow. It was much larger than they were, but only half the height of the big one.
