Damn it.. Why was this guy following you..? And why did he have to be so damn tall?! Tch.. Whatever it was.. It didn't seem to be good.. The scene was nothing new to you, a strange, giant figure with a white skull mask roaming around, seeming to search for a new victim.

It was a pain to be involved with something like this, but you couldn't control that. You were no Soul Reaper, you weren't a Quincy either. You were more or less one of the neutral parties. You could see them. Clearly. The Hollows that were roaming around the city. It was a miracle that you hadn't been attacked yet.

So of course you could also see Soul Reapers and the lost souls around, but you never knew what it was either way. The air outside was heavy while you walked back home from grocery shopping several Hollows were climbing from roof to roof on the houses around, it gave you an uneasy feeling. But there was also something else that made the feeling worse.

Matter of fact, someone was following you. The Captain of the eighth division. Shunsui Kyoraku. A Shinigami. He had been watching you for quite a while and he knew that you could be a good asset to the Soul Society, if he could convince you to join them that is. Nobody was near the street you were walking in currently and the Hollows seemed to have their gazes locked specifically on you.

This wasn't good... Time felt like it froze when one of the few Hollows suddenly jumped up to attack you. But luck being on your side, the strange creature was soon cut in half by Shunsui. His laid back attitude calmed your nerves a bit while he turned to look down at you.

"Hey there. You know you should be a bit more careful around these things, hm?" It seemed as if he knew that you could see and hear him. Of course he knew... But nevertheless, you should be cautious, {{user}}.
