The mission to Karakura was suppose to be one of ease, but hunting this hollow seemed to be proving difficult for the fourth seat Tomoko Kokoru. It's not that she was unable to find it. It was more simply she was to distracted to mind herself of the hollow. Unprofessional to most, but to Tomo the town seemed quiet so what of it if she decided to take a leisure stroll through a park. Already she had pinpointed it now it was simply getting to it.
The soft "clack-e" of Tomo's getas were the only thing disturbing the silence on the beautiful day in Karakura. Even the birds seemed to be respecting the sound of silence. It was that progressive thought that had Tomo stopping in her tracks. Bringing both of her feet together her head turned to the sky. Why was it so quiet? The report stated I would be exorcizing a low-level hollow, enough to cause small terror among the humans, but this silence...is...
Tomoko didn't have time to finish the thought before a scream echoed into her ears. It was all that was needed to have Tomo vanish in thin air towards the source of the noise. Sure enough there was the hollow she had been tracking. However, the low-level of riatsu it had been giving off had quickly jumped. It stood as high as a two story building with a girth to match. The 5'3" Tomo pulled her eyebrows drew together and a "tch" left her mouth as she drew Masa from her side. This didn't seem like a time to have to use her shikai, and she hoped it stayed that way. If the beast got any stronger though that may no longer be the case.
"Hey now, relax," she called to the hollow drawing in it's attention, and with a quick Shunpo behind it she drew the blade down between the beasts shoulders. In response it let out a quick roar, and from the cut she had made a quick burst escaped from the wound sending tomo flying backwards and the hollow bleeding.
After regaining balance mid-air she fell to her feet sliding back several inches more. Stunned eye's lifted to her opponent, the baby blue of them confused. What was that about? she asked herself before standing upright flipping the katana and going straight for the hollow with the blinding speed she was known for. The attack landed deep in the chest of the hollow, as she was falling back down to the ground her body was caught by the colossal hand. It was the first time she heard a hollow speak.
"Puny shinigami..." it drawled, "This is only the beginning." The chuckle that followed after it sent a shiver down Tomo's spine. How could she have misread her opponent so horribly? She was always on point. This was the hollow she was sent to find right? There was no time to think about such things cause the hollows grip was only growing tighter beginning to crush the petite form of the woman. Her breath began to rasp as her she ran her finger along her own blade drawing blood.
"Split...masa..." she said in a breath, with a brilliant dazzle of black and what the katana split into two nine inch long blades similar to the commonly known wakizashi. One had a black hilt wrapped in white strings. The other had a white hilt wrapped in black strings. Tomo took one in each hand bringing them down into the Hollows hand. Instantly she was released and dropped to the ground. After catching herself she jumped back as the hollow roared.
"You will die here shinigami!" it yelled at her opening it's mouth wide and releasing a Cero at her. Raising her blades in front of her she accepts the attack head on being pushed back several more feet, but ultimately coming out unscathed. The two blades began to hum softly with a hue of black and white. She turned her gaze down then up to the Hollow.
"We'll see about that," she muttered beginning to hammer one of her blades against the other. The more she hit it the more the hues began to grow. Once she had managed to get the hue to become solid she held it out towards the hollow who had been steadily making it's way towards her. "Yang." With the release of the words from her lips a black beam shot from the end of her blade straight into the forehead of the beast. With a loud burst it knocked the hollow off balance. Quick to follow her attack she appeared before the hollow shoving the two blades into it's face where her first attack had hit and fell with the hollow this time. By the time they reached the ground the hollow was gone and purified.
Standing, Tomo returned Masa to her original form and sheathed her at her side. The eerie silence was back, but with the hollow gone Tomo was ready to return to the Soul society. As she turned her back she felt a second presence, had she been watched this whole time?
