It feels strange how close all these cities are. Still, it didn't matter much. After all, it just made it so much easier to travel between them. By now, Hotaru had run almost completely out of money. 250 yen sat in his wallet. It was a good thing he wasn't hungry too, or else that money could have gone faster. There was a strange disturbance in the air though- something dark.

This time, Hotaru used his substitute shinigami badge, leaving his body hidden behind a box in an alley. Hopefully, no homeless people would piss, shit, or do anything else with it. Quickly, he ran throughout the city, until finding a large group of hollows just trying to cannibalize each other. This could be bad for Hotaru. It would mean that in any time soon, it could become a menos grande. Acting fast, Hotaru drew his zanpakuto. Its silver blade shined as sunlight reflected off it, revealing a fine groove near its center which ran down from the curved tip into the collar of the sword. The tsuba was a gold ring, decorated with a tear drop motif.

"Drip, Namidasuke", Hotaru proclaimed. A light emitted from the sword's collar, covering the blade well. The light subsides to reveal the blade in a more semi-solid form, which ran almost like a torrent of water, drooping like a daisy at the tip. "Splash, Namidasuke", Hotaru said, slamming the liquid blade into the ground. A rush of quick silver came over the group of hollow, washing over them like a giant wave of mercury. They were slain.

Back in Hueco Mundo a white being was walking across the sandy world, mercilessly slaughtering any hollow that neared it. With every step taken Hierro dripped from the being and dug itself into the ground. Soon the short 5'2" form came to a halt and looked up into the sky before a chilling laughter erupted from it. From various places upon the beings body large spikes formed and rocketed into the air keeping a liquid like state until finding their target.

As blood rained from above it seemed Togira in his fury had found and killed yet another hollow, the sands stained red with blood the white form began to draw itself into the black hierro spider at the center of its mass. As the liquid bone hierro vanished the form shrunk before revealing the blonde hair and ocean green eyes of Togira. "Dis no fun.. I wanna pway more.." Togira muttered under his breath as he walked among the sands once again before coming to a stop. With a furious fit of laughter Togira quipped to himself, "I gunna pway in tah oder world!", with that said the aggravated child arrancar stretched out his hands and tore open a Garganta and stepped inside. Making his own little platforms of condensed reiatsu Togira hop, skip, and jumped his way through the Garganta until he came to an opening.

In the human world a Garganta opened up above Kagamino Cities hospital, from it the form of Togira dropped through the sky before landing in-front of the hospital with an immense sound of breaking concrete. Around Togira a large 25ft diameter crater was formed by his landing. With a giggle he took off using Sonido, the only evidence of his appearance in the world, a single crater. Not too far from his location Togira sensed a few lesser hollow for a brief moment before their reiatsu vanished. "Sumwon is pwaying wiffout me!" Togira yelled into the sky before setting off with Sonido once again. In moments he was within 100ft of the area he had sensed the hollows before, atop a tall structure Togira looked about for signs of someone.

Hotaru heard a scream coming from inside the city. Accompanying the scream was a high spiritual energy. At first, he believed a soul was in trouble, until right before him, was a small boy- a soul, but there's something strange about him. His soul had more spiritual pressure than a normal soul would- it's moving, like multiple souls in one package, all trapped. The energy felt dark. Wow; this would be the second arrancar Hotaru has faced. These things were getting annoying. They're also hollows, so Hotaru is supposed to vanquish them.

Part of Hotaru wanted to kill the thing, after all, it was in his nature to get stronger, and what better way then the beat the living shit out of something much smaller than he was? Still, it was a little kid- or a part of it was. "Hey, kid", Hotaru proclaimed, "go back to your parents."

While he knew it didn't have parents, Hotaru treated his last sentence as an insult to coax the thing into attacking. Rather than being in a battle position, hotaru had his zanpakuto at his side, still in shikai form.

Moments after Togira had come to a halt atop the large structure he had calmed and managed to noticed the other spiritual pressure in the area, in-fact it was quite close to him. As Togira turned to find the source he spotted a tall lithe man with almost golden skin, the moment Togira's eyes fell upon the man he heard "Hey kid, go back to your parents."

The already aggravated young arrancar became curious, and angered, this was because he in-fact did not even know what a parent was. "Wuts a pawent? Yew here to pway?" Togira asked, his voice while childish carried a slight bite to it. Then Togira noticed the blade beside the person, this catching his attention more caused Togira's feet to subconsciously slide into an offensive position. "Dat woks purty, I wanna pway wif it!" Togira spoke, his sword held in a semi-tight grip, and his shield seeming to be held loosely.

Togira didn't know why the person had spoken to him, but now Togira had interest in him. Finding two things curious about the being Togira wasn't going to leave without getting to 'play' with him first.

Oh God that's horrible... The little arrancar had no idea what a parent is. For whatever reason, Hotaru couldn't help but feel sad for the little freaky kid. Then again, Hotaru does have a memory of killing his parents as a hollow not long ago. Still, it was a depressing thought. "Alright, I'll play with you, kid", Hotaru said. Of course, by kill, he of course means cut to pieces with his blade.

It's still a kid though. Hotaru was unsure whether or not to hold back on it. No- it's an arrancar, how could he even think such a thing? "You wanna play with Namidasuke, huh?" Hotaru asked, before holding his sword right over his head. "Splash, Namidasuke!" Hotaru had done the same thing he had done not long ago. The blade crashes onto the concrete, leaving a small indent, blasting like a wave of mercury, washing over the childish arrancar.

Togira waited for the mans response until he finally answered saying he would play with Togari. "Yaaay! Time too pway!" Togira called out as he heard the man speak something else before his blade seemed to bounce against the concrete before nearing Togira like a crashing wave. "Shiny!" Togira shouted as the wave of mercury washed over him.

For a few moments Togira stood motionless as he felt the thin layer of flesh tear from his torso. With a swipe of his sword and shield Togira tore through the mercury coating him to reveal that the skin from his chest was no longer there, and beneath it had been a sub-layer of hierro protecting his muscle-mass and the rest of his body. "Dat was boring!" Togira shouted at the man before using Sonido to open the distance and fire off a quick white/silver bala before vanishing in another buzz of Sonido.

As the bala traveled towards the man Togira would appear a few feet above him, a gathering of 10 bone darts around him, each individual dart hummed with Togira's white/silvery reiatsu as they launched at his opponent. "Marrow Storm" Togira called as the darts speed up. Half way between Togira and his foe the reiatsu within the darts burst to life encasing each on in a small bala and increasing its speed[The bala's will cause 1st degree burns, and possibility of flesh being ripped up(Lower/Equal tiers) While the darts can pierce skin/hierro.]

After firing the marrow storm Togira would once again use Sonido, gaining distance between he and his foe before suddenly cutting off his reiatsu. "Yew it!" Togira called as he vanished between some buildings. Ever few hundred meters Togira would let loose a tiny blip of reiatsu.

Hotaru watched as the liquid energy washed over his opponent. Strangely enough, he felt as though the fight had ended too soon, but then he heard the child's voice. Hotaru watched in horror as the kid arrancar burst out of the liquid shell- missing the flesh of his torso, revealing all the sinews in the chest.

The fight continued. Out from perhaps an act of cowardice, the arrancar used his technique to run away, firing a burst of his negative energy in a compressed white ball of light. Blocking it was simple for Hotaru. All he had to do was lift his blade in front of him, forming a thick curtain of liquid silver. The silver white bala disapeared into the silver curtain, the only product a small controlled explosion.

While he managed to dodge one attack, Hotaru was not yet out of the water. He sensed a spiritual energy signature right above him- the arrancar's. Still, he sensed no attack. Then, he heard the kid's voice. "What!?" Hotaru exclaimed before reflexively using his hyper cube ability as a shield. The 'box', was meant to with stand up to two hundred pounds of force at a time. While the shield cracked a bit here and there, it didn't seem to break anywhere.

"Hotaru lifted his head to try to spot the boy, and as he came into his pereiferal vision, Hotaru commented, "for a kid, you've got some skills." As the last burning dart fired, it broke Hotaru's barrier. "It doesn't take away from the fact that I'm going to beat you", Hotaru pointed his sword at the direction of the kid and projected, "blow shit up, Namidasuke!" The liquid energy which made up the zanpakuto's "blade" gathered into a ball near the sword's collar. It seemed to bubble a bit, until finally, a burst of white energy shot forth from it, with the force drill through mountains of solid rock.

As Togira took off he could have sworn hearing the man he was fighting say something. In just a few moments as Togira let loose the first blip of reiatsu he felt a quite large source nearing him, then he heard it impact several buildings before continuing through. With a smile and an excited giggle Togira turned on the spot, his shield held at the ready. Togira knew this attack was strong, but it didn't bother him, he was finding this too be much fun. As the attack neared Togira noticed the attack was a moderate size(will edit if needed), waiting till the final moment Togira rolled both forward and too the side slightly as the attack caught his shield. For a brief moment the child arrancar appeared to be caught in the attack before he suddenly rolled out, using the momentum of the attack to speed his roll. Almost as fast as Togira's roll started it stopped and he planted a foot on the ground before bursting towards Hotaru using the extra momentum to speed himself up.

As Togira sped towards his foe he called out, "Rolling Strike". In the moment he called out the technique Togira appeared to completely vanish, until suddenly he would appear in the middle of yet another roll about 5 feet from Hotaru. Coming out of the roll Togira slashed at the man three times, each shot aimed at a different level of his body(Upper body, Torso, Lower body). After the attack Togira would take a mixed stance approximately two feet infront of his opponent, waiting for any sort of counter attack. "Dis is fuuuuuuun!" Togira would chant both during his attack and after it.

Shit! The guys at Central 46 are going to literally KILL Hotaru for destroying that many buildings in the real world! Trying to get an arrancar wasn't an excuse. No- he'd have to either capture the thing, or kill it. Since restraint wasn't exactly Hotaru's forte, it was much easier to simply try to kill off the little arrancar- not like it would be very easy. Although it did appear to be a kid, it was certainly at least a fraction stronger than Hotaru. Still, it wasn't time to think of what punishment he'll recieve- not yet.

It appeared as though the kid somehow rolled himself into a little ball, sort of Metroid styled. The fact that it was picking up speed wasn't picking up Hotaru's spirit; well, his fighting spirit at least. The kid arrancar appeared a bit too close for comfort for Hotaru, whose reaction was to simply lift his sword, and try to sling at it backwards. Since its chest was nothing but bone, Hotaru thought it'd be a good target.

"I think you're it now, kid", HOtaru said before making his attack.

As Togira had begun the three strike chain attack of Rolling Strike his opponent, Hotaru suddenly slung his blade backwards in an attack aimed for Togira's chest. The attack collided with ease, interrupting the combo strike from Togira. The bright blonde haired arrancar child looked down at himself as the hierro upon his chest was struck and nearly pierced; cracks slowly began to spread from the wound as Togira's childish laugh began to grow more aggressive and chilling. "Moar! pway wif me moar!" Togira demanded between laughs as he jumped back; Hotaru's blade pulling from its embedded place in Togira's hierro causing the cracks to spread.

"I gunna show yew sumtin!" Togira yelled as he appeared to glide backwards a good twenty to thirty feet. The further Togira got from Hotaru the further his reiatsu began to increase as he quickly sheathed his blade within his shield. Coming to a stop Togira looked to Hotaru with a massive chilling grin before calling out "Du Sundavar Freohr" and touching his sealed blade and shield to the black spider hierro fragment upon his body. As this happened Togira's reiatsu billowed out and the spiritual pressure in the area began to rise gradually; beginning to press down upon Hotaru more and more the higher it got.

As the billowing reiatsu died down it revealed Togira; in a taller form; in his Ressurrecion. Togira's body was now taller; standing at Five foot Three, and covered in a liquid-like hierro. Upon his chest still remains the black hierro spider marking, and a V like plate of black hierro formed upon his face; his orange eyes glowing and piercing the black easily. In this form Togira's hands are tipped in two inch black claw like finger nails, seeming to be a combination of some form of metal and hierro.

"Now we can have a more fun game, right?" Togira's voice resounded through the area; it had taken on a deeper tone; an extremely aggressive feeling carried in it. Suddenly an odd bone like whip would appear; its edges made of an unknown serrated metal; the whip coming from Togira's arm was aimed at entrapping Hotaru's leg as well as damaging the muscle and pulling him forward as Togira began to gather reiatsu, bone, and steel in his opposite hand. "I hope you can still keep me amused." Togira challenged before breaking out into a berserk cackle that would cause a massive ripple of spiritual pressure to unleash on the area before fading.
