Revelations (Tenshi)

It was laughable really. Here he was, a dead guy with super natural abilities and a former 'Soul Reaper' causally sauntering down a rather picturesque cobbled street in the heart of Vatican city.

Did the pope really know that when you died, there weren't very camp dudes in togas with wings but instead you get a guy like Sal dressed like an actor from a bad samurai movie. Somehow, even if they did know, he didn't see that particular version going down with the masses.

Why was he here, you might ask. What would bring an exile, smoker, alcoholic, womanizing murderer to what is the most holiest place on the face of the earth?

Tourism.

That's right, Sal was here for nothing more than to see Vatican city. Its a bit of a bitch that he had to die to see the world but he wasn't complaining. It was better than being stuck in some call center listening to people whine about a 23 pence charge on their phone bill.

"Excuse me mate," Sal asked a passing priest. "Is that the place with the painting by that guy?"

The priest looked at Sal, or rather his Gigai, with a look Norongachi had come to recognize. Disbelief, in this case of his ignorance.

"Yes, the Sistine Chapel..."

"Bitchi-Good, thank you." Sal responded, somewhere deep inside of every person raised in the faith was a part that just wouldn't let you swear in front of a Priest.

Ren was looking around for any low hollows or Dami-hollows. Something caught her eye a human with a Shinigami SP. That's odd. she thought. She decided to take a closer look. Also she had to be careful. It looked as though he was lost.

Ooc: not much to go on also not sure how to make to her appear

Sal stood outside the entrance to the Sistine Chapel and looked at the monstrous line of people waiting to enter.

"Well you can bugger that," He said and walking to a secluded spot popped a soul candy in his mouth and stepped out of his Toy Body. If they couldn't see him, he could jump the queue.

He walked back over and then felt the tingle of a near by spiritual signature and tracing it with his senses looked up at the Animalistic Hollow. The holiest place on the planet wasn't safe from them it seemed.

"Here for the culture Hollow, or something a little more succulent..." He growled appearing beside the creature through the use of Flash Step.

Huh? He is not going to atack? Ren thought in confusion. "Um. I'm here for the sites?" Ren said unsertainly. Closing her eyes she could sense his Aura was different from other Shinigami. "What are you? You are not a normal Shinigami. Then again I'm not a normal hollow." Ren stated.

Sal didn't really know what to do next. He had expected shock, surprise, hostility and then the sweetness that was combat. The Hollow's reaction had thrown him a touch.

"I'm not a Shinigami, period." He responded and listened to the chatter from the crowds. "And what do you mean the sights? Hollows don't sight see."

Ren laughed at what the human said. "If I had a dime someone said anything close for me being different from other hollows I would be rich. I'm different from the other hollows." She looked down saddly. It doesn't matter where I go I will always be different. she thought.

AAt the end of the thought Ren felt a shiver go down her spine. She closed her eyes and saw the Aura of a hollow. Ren started to run twards the hollows Aura.

Sal still had no idea what to make of this Hollow. She was either exceptionally deluded or quite, quite mad. Possibly a combination of both.

He felt the tremor of dark energies at the same time the Hollow did and cursed under his breath. "Dont i ever get a Holiday?" He grumbled and then took of after the Feline.

Ren caught site of the hollow. From her perspective it looked like giant monkey with a barbed tail. Aw good time for my ne meal. she thought. With that she leat twoard the hollow but this hollow was not that stupid. It brought its tail around and hit Ren on her side. Falling to the ground she got back up looked at her side to see it bleeding. She let out a loud angry hiss.

The hollow hissed back at her this time she circled the hollow. When she found what she was looking for she took her chance. She used her Aura Shard on the back of the hollow it let out a cry of pain and anger. Once again it swung its tail at Ren ony this time she caught its tail and ripped it off. Having to disarm the hollow she went for its throat. Killing it on the spot she began to fill her hunger.

Sal didn't have to do much. The Feline was taking as good a care of the Hollow as he could...although he wasn't inclined to eat his victims after they were defeated.

He simply stood back and watched the consumption of the fallen, the Female Hollow showing no signs of disgust at its actions and he was was not inclined to judge. The strong prevailed, that was life no matter what side of the veil you were on.

"Had your fill?" He asked.

"Had your fill?" Ren heard. She looked up from her meal with blood slowly dripping from the jaws only to see the Shinigami from before. She looked at him while sitting down licking her paw and brought it to her face to clean it. "Yes I have thank you for asking." She said the the Shinigami Ren looked at the sky and saw that it was getting late. The moon was begining to rise and the sun was setting; This is one of my favorite times of the day. she thought turning back to the Shinigami. "It's getting late and I need to go. Perhaps we will meet again in the future." Ren walked away from the Shinigami and the half eaten hollow was already turning into dust, she looked at the sun dissapearing behind the trees, Ren was like the sky tonight. She was the Sun and the Moon.

Sal watched as the defeated Hollow fated to nothingness. The sky had turned a brilliant orange, the pale blue of the atmosphere set aflame by the setting sun that was halfway down, casting long shadows as it went.

"We will Hollow, its only a matter of time..." He said with a crooked smile as she left.
