Slacking off (Asura)

It was a nice warm day in the real world, the wind was mostly completly still, though from time to time a small wind would flow through the city feeling oh so ever refreshing. It was on the outskirts of the cite, the tree's was almost completly quite, only whispering a small moments when the wind choose to carry their word. Under one of those tree's enjoying the nice shade it provided him lies Shikuro, dazed off in his gigai, his eyes closed, almost being alsspe, in truth he should be scouting but he'd rather just relax right here, his cellphone was lying on his chest so if anything serious popped up he was sure he could just go and take care of it anyway, why run around the city, useing energy that weren't needed anyway, it was just pointless. The gigai weren't exactly the most comfterble thing to wear for most Shinigami's but Shikuro had gotten rather used to it, he can actually easily relax in it completly. This was lovely, like taking a day off, all was good, it could only be better had it rained.

Asura creeps out from a small alley and looks around on the street. He sees a park not far from where he is. He never really liked nature, unless it was burning. The sweet smell of burning timber, and the feel of the oh so nice flames, theres nothing better. But he can't just go around torching his world. Besides, once fall arrives, he'll be able to see the trees in colors resembling fire. The season of beauty. He spreads his wings and lifts off the ground, gliding in the wind towards the park. There is a tree big enough for him to land in it, and so he does. Some leafs fall from the branches as he lands, and the tree shakes for a few seconds from the impact. As he looks around, he doesn't see anything of interest. Theres not many people out in this region. The outskirts are quite boring. But he has to stay. He feels his hunger welling up within him. He will have to feed soon, but there hasn't been anyone worth consuming lately. The only one around is some useless guy under a tree nearby, however he looks too plain to be of any worth. Asura will need a royal feast to satisfy him. No.. A godlike feast! Anything else is not worthy of his attention.

Shikuro opens his eyes hearing a great distubance to the before so calm silance, there was no wind being able to make the tree's that noisy he was sure., though he didn't move much on himself, his eyes flaggered from the noice, seeing this hollw sitting there, hopfully he haven't really noticed him yet, or maybe just didn't feel a certain interest in him, crappy, that cell just better not be ringing off anytime soon. He slowly moved his hand down into his pocket, grabbing a mod soul then slowly, pulling it up of my pocket hoping to descretly take it, ofcourse, waching this hollows every move waiting for the right oppotunity to do it, since doing it might take the attention all over himself.

Asura looks around the park, finding it rather odd that its this silent. It may be the outskirts but it still seems a little too quiet. He doesn't really think more of it though. As he looks around he spots a little girl looking awfully familiar. He wasn't sure were he had seen her, but something about her made his blood boil. Walking in her fancy dress with her fancy glasses and long curled hair. Disgusting! Anyone like that is not allowed in his world! He can't get himself to do anything about it though, as she has a way too small spiritual pressure. But one day, surely, he would see her again, and then devour her. He almost drools at the thought as he stares over at the girl with a grin on his face, not paying any attention to the likes of Shikuro.

Shikuro glanses over at the hollow again, noticing his not paying attention at the place anymore and in a swift move he get up on his feet moving behind the tree swallowing the mod soul forcing him out of the gigai, so it would look as if he ran and changed in the space where he passed the tree should anyone look, with that he left no hesitation, to draw his Zanpakuto charging at this thing.
Surely he would be noticed just on the run up to this but atleast that would keep his intensions away from any other thoughts of people arround this place, if there should be any, he'd rather have him focussed at him, than any other person.
He Ran as afast as he could in the end jumping swiftly up trying to ofcourse slash up against the Hollow's mask though chances of hitting that on not something else was pretty small.

As Shiruko starts dashing towards the tree, Asura only just manages to get a glimpse of him from the corner of his eye. He turns around on the branch and glares at the shinigami with a smirk. He pushes himself off the branch with his legs, just before the zanpakto would hit. However, he forgot about the tail, which swings along with Asura, getting a long, but shallow cut. He groans at the feeling of the sword touching his skin. It hurt! How dare he!? How dare this lowlife touch him!?! He would have to be eleminated! And thats quite allright, as his spiritual energy feels delicious. As he is in midair after just having gotten off the branch, he lets himself land on the ground. He takes a single step back to get into position. Now he would wait to see what his oponent might do. His fiery red hair moves in the wind, and his eyes almost glows red.

Shikuro lands safely on the ground first strike hit, ofcourse, this hollow weren't exactly the quickest of them all, but it weren't dumb either. He turns holding up his Zanpakuto infront of him looking at this hollow if he should have it good a fast take out would definetly be the best, ofcourse he weren't really sure if that was Posible, he dashes forward stepping from side to side as he does, quickly moving closer to send his next slash upwards at this Hollow's mask, ofcourse that would be the best place to aim for, a clear blow there would mean a clear cleansing of this soul. Hopefully it wouldn't take to much work.

Asura keeps his eyes focused on the shinigami, making sure not to lose him from sight. He moves his right hand back and opens his hand, getting ready to slash with his claws. As the shinigami is close, he moves his upper body back downwards to avoid the slash, but does get a small hint of a cut in one of the horns of the mask, he then raises his arms as his body is bent down and slashes upwards with his claw. His hair touches the ground, as it's been swayed back from his movement. He knows that he is at a disadvantage if he misses, as he would have trouble defending himself from this kind of position. But this lowlife will not be able to defeat him! A god cannot lose!

Shikruo grins softly, as this Hollow confidently didn't move out of place to dodge, ofcourse this was a smart move had they been on equal terms but it seemes they where not, this wasn't the smartest move, it was open, as if he didn't exactly know how weak he was in comparison, though on the other hand, it might just take that one hit to change the tide, yet Shikuro wasn't gonna find out and take that chance. He saw the attack comming, easy to evade, with a swift Shunpo, dashing over to the side of the hollow, as he allready held his Zanpakuto up high from the last attack he simply turned the edge around sending this attack right down into this hollows arm.

Asura doesn't realize what happened before he has already been cut in the arm. He has his tail bend on the ground, and then uses it to push himself off the ground away from the shinigami with a groan of pain. Once he manages to get a foothold again he spreads his wings to try and make himself look bigger while holding his left hand over his wound. "You! You really think a nobody can come and cut me like that!? Just who the hell do you think I am!?" He yells with anger and hatred in his voice. His eyes are wide open and almost seem to glow. There is no way he would let himself be beaten by someone like that guy. Asura is the god of this world, though he is not at full power. He needs to evolve. At this rate, even a maggot like the one in front of him could be the death of him.

Shikuro rolls back back looking up at this, this... thing, how big it truely was, yet that didn't really matter, it had to die like any other hollow and this wasn't exactly the easiest, it knew how to protect its mask well though on the cost of other limbs. Ofcourse it has a easy survival rate if it got out of here, letting this one escape weren't really something he would allow it, not if he could hinder it atleast. He looked rather surpriced so far he had thought of this thing as nothing but a stupid animal but it actually talked, this... thing could talk. He shook his head, this didn't matter at all.
With another Shunpo he was up at its wing slashing right through it hopefully, and after he had made his attacked hit or no, he used another shunpo,appearing again, back turned against the beast alittle bit behind it.
"You're nothing but a stain on a balance and a threat to these people... thats what I think"
He stood there placing his blade on his shoulder waiting this time.

As his wing is cut, Asura lets out a roar of extreme violence. He has been tainted by this lowlife scumbag! His wing has been cut off in half! He would be able to fly, but it would cost him most of his energy, and it would be quite difficult as well. He obviously couldn't talk sense to this one either. He is above Asura at this point, but in just a day, that could definitely change, he gets the chance. But for now, he would probably have to actually retreat. But he can't do that unless he makes an opening. But with the speed of that shinigami it might be difficult. He bends over and uses his claws to rip in the ground as he starts moving his legs, to actually move along the ground until he would be a little bit away from the shinigami then stand up. "Do you have a name shinigami?" He doesn't look back, as the lowlife still is not worthy of being watched.

Shikuro tilts his head, looking down into the ground he really didn't feel like getting all worked about this creature, but as his duty he needs to do it, but nothing said he couldn't talk, atleast that coutesey he had, and it would be honor to let the one thats about to die, know the name of its supperior. He closes his eyes listening, not turning, just listening to the movement behind him.
"Shikuro Nara, 11th Squad 17th Seat"
Shikuro opens his eyes, feeling the wind push once against his skin, made him think of all those small brushes he had missed in this time, so bad, ruining his day of slacking off, but atleast now he can tell he's been doing something here.

Asura, slowly turning around, catches on fire. Red hot fire, engulfs his body as he looks over at the shinigami. Not even a captain or a lieutenant! It's obvious that Asura still needs to grow in power. He will need to devour more smaller hallows to grow. But to do that he would have to get rid of this shinigami and return to Hueco Mundo. He raises his left arm, steam exhausts from the pipes at his elbow as a small fireball starts to form at his palm. "You can call me.. GOD!" He thrusts his arm forwards, launching the fireball. It is just about the size of a regular human head. It is aimed for the shinigami's torso, and if it would actually hit, the impact would make the fireball explode, and send smaller flames flying into random directions. The world will be set ablze once again.

Shikuro raised an eyebrow to the hollows response and hearing the blazes of flames move at him he couldn't help but to smile at this situation. Flames... again as if the last guy weren't trouble some enough, and this one even have god issues, he waits, for the flames to close in on him, just in the end of it useing another swift shunpo appearing infront of the hollow, looking into his eyes.
"Thats blasphemy..."
With those words, he send his blade in a moving acting slidding down at this hollow, being oh so confident, calling himself a god, what kind of hollow was this, a hollow with the ideals of becoming a god, no not even becoming actually being a god, what kind of mind did this guy havem what kind of mind did hollows even have, as a Shinigami you're educated to think of hollows as beast and nothing else, but this thing even has an ideal, even though its himself. Shikuro would slash the blade down into the hollow ofcourse aming for the mask though it should be possible for him to evade getting killed from the blow yet not getting hit might be difficult.

Asura is again overwhelmed by the speed of this maggot. He makes a step back to avoid the slash down from the shinigami. He gets a crack in the middle of his mask and lets out an ear wrenching screech! He takes both his hands to his mask and bends forwards. The pain was unbearable! How can a maggot let him feel suck intensive pain!? Impossible! This would call for a retreat. But why? Why did this lowlife maggot of a shinigami attack him? He should worship him? Or has the word not spread of this god Asura rising back from his ashes. The red flames engulfing his body continues to burn. He looks over at the shinigami with an angry, yet confused look in his eyes. "Why..? How!? How can you not see my greatness!? How can you ignore my power like so!? Just who do you think I am!?" He bends his head backwards while holding his hands at his mask. He was actually snapping into reality. For the first time, he could sense that he was not godlike. However, this was for such a short time that it had no real effect.

Shikuro tilts his head, looking rather pityfull at this creature, why would he be like this, he was in pain leaving another blow would be torture, yet he held enough spirit power to atleast not take extreemly fatal blows when knocked at the mask, All hollows where once spirits, and those spirits charataristics commonly came back in its hollows sense, made him wonder what kind of man he had been before, no one good, proberly some self confident egoistic bastard, he had no place here yet he hesitated it seemed, not sure about what was right and what was wrong. It certaintly is suffering at the time. He streched forward his sword, this hollows blood dripping off it.
"Gods are perfect beings... perfect being can't bleed..."
He helf a cold facade, looking at this creature as if he hated it, despised it, he did, in part aswell, yet weren't sure if he should destroy it before knwoing more about tis kind of hollow.

As Asura hears the words from the shinigami, he looks at himself.. It was pathetic! He may not have achieved his full power just yet, but that just confirms the shinigami's claims. For a god.. He really was quite imperfect! It was shameful! A god who bleeds as much blood as Asura does now, it's almost blasphemy. He clenches the teeth and glares over at the shinigami. His tail lays on the ground without moving, and he has blood all the way down his back from the wounded wing. "And you don't think I realize this? I have yet to attain my perfect form, but once I do.. I will bring destruction upon this world, and have it be reborn from the ashes! A perfect world! My world!" He makes a quick laugh before taking a single step back, wanting to see the reaction from the shinigami. If he would stand still, then it may mean that he could get away. Although the chances are small..

Shikuro stayed put, his blade slowly moving back, resting upon his shoulder, he looked this hollow right into its eyes, he noticed the cowardly act of retreating, though he was pretty confident that right now he could still win a pursue at this close range, not really sure if he wanted to.
But then again, not doing so would allow this hollow to kill more people and that would be very bad, yet right now it was just research he could send in a killing blow at any time right now.
He listened to this hollows words, not really seeing that as a arguement to keep this thing alive.
"And whats to keep me from finnishing you off right now??"
Shikuro tilted his head, waiting for one last answer before taking action.

Again, what the shinigami is saying is the utter truth. Nothing is keeping him from dealing a killing blow. Asura won't be able to dodge if the shinigami were to go all out, he knows at least that much. But he just cannot accept defeat from a lowlife scumbag! It is preposterous! He can, and will not be defeated here! It may be cowardice to try and escape, but if he had to do so in order to survive, then screw the damn honor! "Nothing is really keeping you from killing me, no. However, if you let me go I can assure you nothing will change. Besides, I'd like to challenge you someday when were are more.. Equal?" He flips his hand at the last word, making it sound almost sarcastic. And it was. Equals?! HA! You can't be equal to a god! Theres no way such a thing could be! He moves his other leg a single step backwards, having his tail follow along, as he place his left hand to cover the wound on his right arm again. The pain was unlike anything he had ever felt before, but it was a good thing. If he could cling to this pain, he could use it to remember why he should care about a lowlife such as this one shinigami.

Shikuro grinded his teeth together, that would be mighty stupid of Shikuro he had no lust for fight or opponents fighting someone on par with himself wasn't hard, and fighting someone stronger even easier, even if he had a lust for fighting right now he would have plenty in his life, why prelong it by letting another enemy survive, that would only be against his own benefit. Especially when he had no lust for fighting, he fought when he had too and shared a somewhat joy in exciting fights, though for that kind of joy, he could just challenge a higher ranked Shinigami, that would have more goal than fighting a Hollow later on, a hollow at this level had a long way to go aswell. But again this inteleckt was quite interesting, this wasn't what they where taught nothing he had seen before, the hollows he had slayed had never spoke a word, and the least have a god complex in life, this would certainly make a good report, not so much if he got away really.
"I have no goal in gaining rivals, least bit a rival Hollow... I don't compate with beasts..."
He forgot to keep check on the hollows movements, he thought this over way too much at the moment.

A BEAST!?! How dare he!? A lowlife shinigami, Not even a captain! How dare he call Asura beast!? He is furious! However.. He is containing his rage. He knows he won't be able to do anything if he would jump the shinigami in rage. That would only get him killed. Right now he would need to escape, but chances are that as soon as he attempts the shinigami will strike, and it will all be over. Keeping the rage down is rather difficult though. He only has one real chance for escape, but there is nothing to be used as a distraction, so he would have to do without. He looks at the shinigami with a grin on his mask. "Is that so Shinigami? A beast am I? Perhaps so, but not more than any of those disgusting human beings! They are not even worth eating! And you.. You are just like them, no.. You are worse aren't you? They at least don't know when they slaughter the innocent. You however, you do it for a living!" He makes a single groan of pain as he attempts to do a back flip up into a a tree a little behind him. *If not interrupted he would land on a branch and look at the shinigami. "Shikuro, was it? I will definitely remember that name.." He spreads his wings and jumps back and then glides from the tree down to the street, and would run on all four into an alley to escape.*

(Ignore everything between the two * if you wish to interrupt my escape xD)

Shikuro would stand unchanged by that small attempt to taunt Shikuro he knew better, this thing, was not innocent no hollows where, and he wasn't even killing them, he only cleansed their souls, nothing saying we're killing them. maybe Hollows thought they where and thats why they feared being "killed"
"Shinigami's aren't butchers, we're saviors, fighting for the balance in life, all you wish to do is turn it over... God or not, I can't allow that..."
Though he said that, he didn't feel like chasing after that thing, so he turned around, knowing that if that thing didn't jump into one of those portals to return to his world, he would only start feeling worse, knowing that he had atleast avoided anyone being killed here, he went back to find his Gigai where he would move into it again, and lie down under the tree again, to doze off as he where before the hollow.
