London Bridge is falling down (Frost)

Kaiyo swung her legs freely in the strong breeze, resting her hands backwards on the cold stone bridge. It was just starting to get dark, and the dancing reflections on the water below had attracted Kaiyo's attention fairly well. The oddly distant sound of the human vehicles added a calming atmosphere to the night. It had been a fairly long day, Kaiyo had only come over to London for a few days rest, but she'd been called back into duty early on in the morning. A local influx of reiatsu and damage was apparently the cause of a single hollow that local patrol had been having issue with. Kaiyo hadn't seen a single hollow all day; despite looking all over for one. he wild goose chase had been abandoned when the sun first started to set. There was only a subtle chill to the night, and the glimmering orange reflection had been so pretty that Kaiyo had just decided to sit down for a little while.

The girl had left her gigai back at a nearby room she'd been renting. It was a lot more fun experiencing the shopping around here when people could actually see her. That, and letting her spiritual energy breath once in a while was quite nice. Of course the barrier they placed on all Captains stopped that, but the continuous strain of hiding it completely didn't seem necessary. The Captain's haori was fluttering against her back, her red headband flickering in time with it as well. The girl leant back . At the very top of London bridge, Kaiyo just lay there for a while. Trying to make out the different stars.

The Kuro could feel the strong breeze through her thigh deep dark blue fur, well normally after a day of been the hunter or well been hunted, Kuro would lay down at the London Bridge to see the pretty sun set reflection in the water, while resting for a bit because, one part of her old self were still somewhere deep inside the beast, crying, screaming and yelling trying to take over the control of the beast she had become, as a hollow. But tonight was not because of that, it was because of thoughts damn Shinigami, one of them was on her favourite spot up on the top of the bright, one of them that had been after her the whole day or well it was a new one she haven’t seen before today but Kuro weren’t going to forgive the Shinigami for taking her place, her spot, the only thing that was hers…

Kuro had only been in London her for a week now, and she had been feeding, the most of the time of course from some newly holes and normal people she had accidentally killed if she have been a little to hungry, other than that she have been hiding or running away from the local patrol with her new found skill, were she have been able to became invisible making her a true Predator, in the art of sneaking up on her opponents. Kuro was close to her opponent tonight about to 3 meters away and slowly closing in, well it looked like the Shinigami haven’t notice her at all, which was always a good sign in some way or another. But she could easily feel the spiritual energy that was been let out by the girl it was almost like the energy were floating through the air for kuro, she were defiantly stronger than Kuro but then again it seem as if she weren’t that much strong again.

Kuro had already activated her ability to become or less invisible, if the girl would look at her, she would have a hard time see that see was actual there, as her skin almost become like glass letting the sun light through her body as if nothing was there really

Kaiyo kept her gaze straight ahead, sighing lightly as a small smirk crept onto her face. It was sinister, and even smug, almost as if the girl were fighting back a laugh. Sure, the monster was hidden, but their spiritual energy wasn't. It was an angry energy, feeding from a festering hive of hatred, infecting the air around where kaiyo lay. It was normal for hollow's reiatsu to be empty and cold, but this one, well it seemed to have an unusually evil air about it. Like lion stalking it's prey...Sleeping Lions had always been an interesting game to Kaiyo.

The girl shut her eyes, keeping her expression calm as she spoke clearly. Her head resting her her hands. 'Ya know some people might think it's rude to sneak up on people like that...Almost cowardly' she smirked. Kaiyo was alert, she might have appeared calm, but she was ready. Ready to move in a flash if she needed to. The Captain could already tell this hollow was only a small fry, but it seemed amusing to bait it for a bit at least.

“Some people thinks it rude to take the only place they got for place for themselves… almost worth killing for after been hunted a hole day by the same people taking their space” kuro said with irritate hissing sound as she was pretty mad already before suddenly knowing that the prey were already aware of its hunter, but by knowing that, it meant that the roles of this hunt could change any minute and make Kuro the prey…

Kuro have no idea how the hell that Shinigami knew, how she were there or what she should do now right now the best idea was to be ready for anything because her prey could be stronger than she ever image, she stretch her body a little and move herself a little lowered down towards the bridge she were standing on like she were ready to either jump for an attack or make a run for it since she had been discovered

Kaiyo reluctantly sat up, her blonde hair flicking forwards after her head whipped up, the girl ruffled her hair gently, trying to sort it back into it's usual style. Kaiyo couldn't see the hollow, she'd caught a faint glimmer when she first sat up, like a blurred piece of glass or something. But the hassle of trying to look at the monster wasn't really needed. Instead, the girl just sat still. Moving her legs apart as she rested her elbow on her right thigh, and plopped her head onto her hand. Her gaze tracing along the shimmering water as she smiled. 'Well maybe if certain Monsters didn't waste the time of a Captain by hiding, then that lovely hunter might not steal their spot...Though i gotta say, you got good taste' she smirked slightly. This hollow didn't exactly seem ready for immediate combat, so a bit more gauging of it would cause no real harm. It was more like compensation to Kaiyo anyway, she'd been bored to hell and back all day following empty leads on a vanishing hollow. The least she deserved was a bit of amusement at the end of the day, for disturbing her few days off.

“Well thank you Caption; it’s not every day you get a compliment, as a hollow? Isn’t that what you shinigami´s call us or do you prefer monster?.. well I can’t say, that I’m the one who choose this spot, its was more like the girl, or the old part of who i was that is still inside my mind, deep inside screaming, scraping, yelling, trying to take over the control as she tries to stop me from hurting others .. “Said Kuro almost with a laughing, purring voice as she knew now that her opponent was a lot stronger that she first had thought, she were a caption, something you didn’t want to meet as a hollow on a lonely night or well sun set. The situation was a lot more worse that it could be, and kuro had to change tatics.

kuro were standing still and holding her mouth closet for a moment, as she thought about the options she had left, like if she should try to run or should she try to bluff her way out of it or maybe even better a little agreement, she would give some information about a possible traitor to the enemy so she could live. a little cost for the prize to live “I got a offer for you caption?.. I`m willingly to share the spot and tell you a little secret about Shinigami that could be a traitor for the little prize of letting me live... “

Kaiyo shrugged complacently, 'Monster works' she replied, cutting in during Frost was still speaking. Still, the souls mention of it's original hit a nerve in Kaiyo. Her imagination wandering to what the girl might look like, the Captain's smile faltered for a moment. Kaiyo didn't like it, it made her mad to think of, and she didn't understand how any semblance of human could remain after a soul's transformation to a hollow. Kaiyo curled her fingers up slightly, clenching her hand into a fist as she looked straight over to where the voice as coming from. The thing hadn't moved at any rate.

Kaiyo raised her eyebrows at the mention of an offer. A trade to not die? Now since when were hollows so smart? Recently though, the monster had been different, and Kaiyo had only been changing her mind about what they drilled into her mind since the academy. All hollows are bad. All hollows will attack you at the first sight. Kaiyo tilted her head to one side slightly, stray strands of her hair draping down onto her shoulder as she did so. 'Now as far as i know...People only offer up a deal when they know they've lost...Become visible and we'll see' she smirked slightly. Wanting a proper look at this hollow at any rate. Though the offer of being willing to share was a little silly, seeing as even from sitting, Kaiyo could slice this thing into two before it knew what happened. Kaiyo gestured in front of her, for the hollow to sit down. 'So what's your name?' she mused, still pondering to kill the beast or not.

“Well people do that, when they know they could die any moment like been cut In half by a high ranking Shinigami.. But the voice is also crying and begging me to let you go, And it’s getting a little annoying” said Kuro almost with a laugh voice again, as if it were funny to hear another person beg for the shinigami´s life… as Kuro slowly began to became visible again, it was like her feline body suddenly began to block the sun light again as it had never been able to do such a thing, the beast slowly began to regain its form..

Her form looked like mix between a lion, a wolf and a leopard, she stretch her feline alike body and sat down were she had been all the time still not want to get to close to the shinigami. Her body were mostly cover in a big dark blue alike fur, her head, legs, spine, and tail weren’t cover in that fur instead you could see into the white bone skin looking as a protective layer like a hollow mask. From her neck and all the way along her spine there are spikes of bone sticking out of her back as a remind of what had happed to her when she die, her tail also looks more or less like a spine itself, while the tip the tail, had 3 blades attracted to it looking like a bone whip “my name was and is still Kuro kami… tell me yours then”

Kaiyo ignored the evil laugh, if this hollow was trying ti get a rise out of her, it wouldn't work, not a while at any rate... Kaiyo instead just smirked at the hollow. 'It's funny, it's probably that voice that's saving you right now as well'. The girl flicked her head back, catching it in a breeze as it fanned backwards into place. Not batting an eyelid as Kuro came into sight. It looked differently to how she'd expected, but the general hollow form was unmistakable.

Kaiyo sat forwards a bit, it was starting to get a bit chilly, so she figured curling forwards a bit might keep her warmer. The girl's crystal blue eyes shimmered in the light as she looked the hollow up and down. 'Nice to meet ya Kuro' she spoke tentatively, though there was actually a hint of sincerity in there, 'I'm Kaiyo Saiyouko, Captain of the 11th squad' A formal greeting to hollows, shinigami tended to like the monsters to know who was about to kill them. Back to business though, 'So, who's the traitor?'

”well, the funny thing is that, how do i know that you won’t just kill me off captain? When, I told you who the traitor is?! But well right now I can say that it’s a young Shinigami I think” said kuro almost glaring over at kaiyo it was like playing The Russian roulette, ever little bit of information kuro said would slowly bring her close to her own dooms day if she weren’t sure that kaiyo wouldn’t kill her, somewhere Kuro felt a little like Kayio were just playing a game with her, trying to see how far she would take it before killing kuro..

“so how many is there on your squad captain?” said kuro trying to change the subject as she were still trying to remember the name of that student she had meet some time ago, that wouldn’t kill her but also just fishing for information about the shinigami´s

There was a somewhat sinister glint of evil in Kaiyo's eyes as she smirked, even allowing herself a small chuckle at the hollows suggestion. Had Kaiyo not been so continually torn by her own moral code, such an idea would likely had occurred to her, as it was, the captain stuck by her word. A traitor was far more important than a measly hollow. 'How do you know i won't kill you?' she repeated, thinking for a moment before her face lit up with a smile. Her eyes shut as she spoke, 'Because i give you my word'.

The change of conversation posed as little amusement for the girl, though Kaiyo didn't know exactly how many people were in her squad. Especially with the highest mortality rate, sadly. It made it harder to keep tabs on every member. Still, she figured she could humour Kuro for a while longer, 'Last time i checked...Just over 300 i think' . The thought only struck Kaiyo then that this hollows name was Kuro, an odd resemblance to the sneaky 2nd squad leader was a hollow that clearly specialised in stealth. A moments silence passed, 'Any other questions or are you done stalling?'

Kuro didn’t really like the idea about only getting the captains word, but surly it was better that nothing.. or well of she broke her word there would be no want to see it so she could do it with out even getting in trouble.. but kuro had to take the only option she had left and accept it “I don’t really trust you but it is better than nothing…” said kuro looking at the Captain almost smiling but as she hear the number of how big the 12 were, the Hollows smile fainted a little “how many squad a there?" Said it quickly trying to gets its questions through before it had to answer

Kuro need as much info she could about there forces but she had to tell the info she knew or else the sword could be the next thing she saw "i think he were call shin or shik somthing like that dont remeber the last part of his first name"

Kaiyo sighed hevily, the little patience she did have was wearing thin. 'We have 13 squads' she snarled, her eyes changing as she eyed up the hollow for a moment. Kaiyo could feel the prickle of reiatsu chasing along her arms, the genuine excitement over killing such an annoying pest. The Captain glanced back up, her thoughts returning to reality as she leant forwards on the hollows words. Shin or Shik something...Kaiyo only remembered two such names off the top of her head. The girl's eyes narrowed in on the monsters expression. Kaiyo was a social person, and a kind one, so whilst she wasn't the smartest of people, the girl was usually pretty preceptive. So if this hollow knew the full name...She should be able to tell.

'Shinji or Shikuro?' she asked slowly, her mind ready to process the beats reactions. Still, neither of them seemed exactly like traitor material. In fact it only occurred to Kaiyo at that point, that the hollow had offered no evidence of it's claim. A slight breeze rolled over the top of the bridge, flicking strands of the girl's golden blonde hair backwards. Kaiyo rubbed her eyes gently, the early signs of a headache weren't so nice. 'Whatever...What proof do you even have, and i'm gunna warn you now, i'm pretty bored of no getting any answers right now'. Accusing anyone of being a traitor to the Gotei 13 was a big deal, so just taking a hollows word for it, well that wouldn't count for much.

“hmm 13 squads...” Kuro said for herself as she suddenly felt a scratching in the back of her head or mind like something were telling her that something soon could get pretty dangerous like someone were thinking evil thoughts about her, well it could be because she had been keeping on stalling the captain answer as she herself there trying to get information about Soul Society but then again it could be another shinigami or a hollow trying to think about there revenge, that name it had to be him now it were that guy shinji he wouldn’t hunt her down, she remember he had promise her that. It were easy to see that Kuro remember the name of the shinigami but well what proof did she have then her words?

“his name were Shinji I remebere now thats the guy I meet back in Karakura Town, he want to be my friend and said in battle he would let me try to slip away if we ever got in battle with a other shinigami invovle, but I dont really got anymore prof then my word captian like you didnt really have anymore prof then you word...” said Kuro with a little smile as she could already see the way out of the dark tunnel she had been passing through almost as a relive
 

Kaiyo kept her head down, her dark eyes glaring up at the monster though. How could Shinji be the traitor, the guy seemed stable to her...The girl tensed the muscles along her right arm, trying not to physically lash out. Kaiyo lifted her head, it was definetly Shinji, or so the hollow thought. The description didn't sound too bad though, just asking to befriend a hollow, Kaiyo could relate to that. In fact a lot of shinigami hadn't been doing their jobs very well recently, it was starting to become a trend, and was only a matter of time until anyone found out.

Kaiyo's image vanished. Appearing in a split second behind the hollow as the girl spoke, 'My word means more' she snarled in the monsters ear. Standing back up straight as she wandered along to the edge of the bridge. Glancing down to the rippling water, the girl sighed. 'Last question Kuro...Is he only traitor for not wanting to kill you?..Is he planning anything else?'

Kuro froze as she saw how Captain eye´s were looking at her, for Kuro it was like looking into the eyes of a monster, that were even great than her! It gave a certain cold chill down her spine as she kept looking into the eyes of the monster or well captain. Well she want to look away but she couldn’t before Kaiyo moved her head, What a relief it were not to be look into that monsters eyes...why? why did she deserve a look like that? she haven’t even done the shinigami anything really else than maybe telling the truth and been a little annoying while stalling the shinigami

as Kuro return to reality from her thought she saw the shinigami suddenly vanished and in that split second her eyes wide like a animal knowing it could die in a second, as she hear the caption word again that feeling of a cold chill ran down her spine.. Kuro slowly, not only slowly really really slowly turn her head over her shoulder and looked at the Caption with her eyes widen up before taking herself together as she notice she went death “he..” you could hear it in her voice that the hollow were scared by the sudden vanisheing and return but kuro did her best she could to hide it “it were only the killing but I dont know if he is planning anything more...”

Kaiyo looked back over her shoulder to the hollow, allowing herself a small sigh of relief. Sure, some may view it differently, but kaiyo didn't mind, it just meant she owed Ryouta a visit. A thought that had been tracing around the back of her mind for some time now, the reversal of a hollow, of course it would be unlikely, because so many hollows exist, but it would surely be worth a shot.

The short girl glanced up to the sky, a blanket of darkness had fallen so quickly around the city, small sparkling dots lighting up the black. Kaiyo looked back into Kuro's eyes, moving her feet together and her arms either side of her body as she bowed before the hollow. 'Thanks, as promised i won't kill you...But i can't say much for my replacement. Take a few days to slow down the killing around here and the constant chases will stop.' Kaiyo turned around from the hollow once more. Stepping onto they edge of the bridge as she looked back. A tinge of guilt had arose from the pit of her stomach, it was the mention of that damn voice the hollow said it could hear. A light sigh escaped her lips as Kaiyo turned away, 'I won't suggest you come near me again, not unless that voice gets any louder'. With that, Kaiyo flash stepped off the edge of the bridge. It had been a long day, she just wanted to get back home now.

Kuro didn’t even bow before the Captain, she just stay still and looked as kaiyo talk to her almost frozen, in someway she had it like kaiyo were looking down on her or something like that and she hatted it when people did that. “i can look out for myself thanks” kuro said and stood op on her legs instead of sitting down. “pff just wait one day, I will be back Captain, but at that time, I will have become a Vastro lord and you will tremble before me and at that time, I will destroyer the Soul Society! No one will at that time look down on me, be it Hollow or shinigami´s I don’t care” Kuro said and almost roar it out over the bridge as Kaiyo flash stepped away. As Kaiyo were finally gone kuro let on her ability again and her body slowly began to let her feline body vanish as she had never been there, letting the light through her body, as she left the bridge
