The sun was sinking as Ryou made his way along the streets of Karakura Town. Rawlen had picked a rather bland target as his first opponent in their daring movement to free themselves from the tyranny of the shinigami. Hunting a hollow was what they did on a regular basis. But what got on his nerves the most was that it seemed that the chick had gotten a more interesting target than a hollow like Ryou'd got. Was this some additional test of some sort being carried out by the old man? Or was he seriously underestimating Ryou's power? His face was a terrible display of obvious annoyance and rage as he made his way towards where his target supposedly had been sighted before. But as he progressed, his face calmed down from its angry sight and slowly replaced the glare with an evil-filled grin. He'd just make the best of what he'd been sent to do, and relieve any lingering stress while doing so. A hollow would make for a good appetizer for what this new job would likely present him with soon.
He arrived at the designated place and began to feel for any traces of reiatsu that might be the hollow's. The red glow of the sun hitting the horizon cast long and creepy shadows all over the place as it hit the various objects along the streets. Ryou readied his cross and kept his wits about him as he continued to search.
