The moon slid of the horizon as the twilight descended on the town of Karakura. All the beasties and meanies of the world were slithering out of their holes to begin their night of hunting and feasting. One of these holes was deep in the industrial district of Karakura town, an old abandoned steel warehouse. Deep in the shadows of this formidable place there was a stirring, with a hiss and a pop something awoke and slithered out of the warehouse into the courtyard out in front of the rows of warehouses and eyed the lights of the city in the distance. With a hiss of pleasure and expectation Lilith slithered out into the night intent to fill her belly to bursting tonight.

A gargantua slowly opened in the sky. The moon shined its light on the small figure that dropped from it, landing on his feet. Cross walked around looking at Karakura as he smiled towards the humans. "They look so peaceful.. Yet they can destroy each other.. Amazing.." He thought, Placing his arms above his head. His child like form pranced around the park, smiling and giggling. His red hair was up in a pony tail with his bangs almost covering his red eyes. The 1 tattoo going across his face was still visible, probably more so than it was in his adult form. Shaking his head, He sonido'd near the bridge to industrial karakura town, Looking over the area for humans that are over working there time there. He didn't want them to get devoured from other hollows, he didn't even want them to be dead in the first place.

"Seems like no one is really in danger.. I guess I can.." He heard a hiss. He isn't afraid of snakes, he just dislikes them. They're ugly creatures. Staying in his position, Cross dropped all emotion from his face.

It was turning out to be a slow night. Very few pieces of prey had crossed Lilith’s path that night and the few that had were not worth the time to hunt them. And then it was there, pulsing at the periphery of her senses, Lilith could feel a spirit practically bloated with spiritual power; a spirit that would taste absolutely delicious. With a hiss of pleasure and licking of her chops Lilith slithered into the night, her skin making a slight rustling sound again the concrete. Even as she moved out Lilith could send the soul moving away from her to what, if her memory served her, was a playground. With a confident smile the hollow slowed her pace and veered off away from the playground to a small forest right next to it. Firmly ensconced in the shadows cast by the trees, Lilith coiled around herself and prepared her song as the soul of a young girl wandered in the playground. A soft haunting melody, the song wrapped itself around the child and slowly submerged it in a fog so as to cloud its judgment. Lilith continued to sing for a few more moment to ensure the child was completely and utterly in her grasp before layering on the suggestion. Come to me . . . come to me child. With hooded eyes the child swayed slowly to the music and leadenly turned its feet to the cold dark forest. Thatsssssss right child, come to mother. She will take away the cold of the night. Slowly the soul began to trudge its way to the first, each step seeming to hesitate as the soul fought the power of Lilith’s song. It was not strong enough to succeed. The child left behind the lighted playground and walked into the waiting arms of the monster in the forest. “Yes child . . . you are safe now.” Lilith opened her jaw and prepared to feat upon the power of this poor soul.

Misoka was walking around a nearby street when she sensed an odd presence. She looked about in order to get her bearings. She then realized hat it was probably at the nearby park. The shinigami woman was familiar with the layout of the town since she had lived there in her mortal life. However she soon assumes that there is something odd at the park and shunpo's to it. After arriving on the scene of the park, she saw a little girl plus. However she soon found the way she was acting was odd. "Hey! Whats wrong little girl?" She said as she ran over to the little plus.

Cross watched the little soul slowly walk towards a warehouse. Shaking his head, he sensed the hollow slowly making the child come to her. Holding out his palm, he shot a large Bala towards the mouth of the snake hollow. "No need for that. Let the kid go. There is no reason for it to be like this." He commented, closing his eyes as he sighed heavily. Hopefully, the bala allowed for the kid to escape, if not, Cross would lose his temper at the hollow. "Hunting little kids. That takes the lowest of the hollows ever." He commented, opening his eyes as he looked over to the snake hollow. "Now. Tell me. What's your name?"
