The Hollow was a predator. A white blur in a grungy city, stalking his victims until they were alone, scared, panicky.

Then

SLASH.

Their heads would roll off, or the upper half of their body would slide disgustingly from the bottom half as it crumpled. I was almost too gory to be real.

But it was real. And as soon as the soul left the body he'd just destroyed, he would eat them up.

He didn't need it. It didn't make him happy. But he wanted it. Right now, in this moment, he wanted it more than anything, and he couldn't put a finger on why.

Nor did he care to. He would drown his misery in blood.

The bullets of ink dinged harmlessly off of the demon's sword. The ones that did manage to get past his defense left him bleeding blue blood through his white kimono. But he didn't seem to notice, or even feel the injuries. Just bled.

He grinned. A sort of smile that you didn't want to see. The blade of the sword glowed with an eerie light; black and red, almost like the glow was sucking in the ambient light around it. The sword crackled with energy, and the white monster let it loose in a crackling arc.

The arc tossed the wolf across the alleyway, launching her into a trash can. Although she was battered, she was far from down. So it was blades that was this demon's specialty.

Power Slash Ammy thought, remembering the small rat-god that had bestowed it.

An invisible blade, drawn from ink, slashed against the Hollow's sword.

[holeheart]

SHINK. The ink blade glanced off the sword, making a small indentation in it. Part of the blade struck his hand, which bled from a fine, deep cut. But he didn't stop coming. He created another energy pulse and sent it flying. As it traveled towards the wolf, it tore up the concrete under it.

But he didn't wait to see if it connected. He followed up with a slash right behind the energy blast.

This was a formidable foe for her to face, especially with slightly-rusted fighting skills. Amaterasu managed to sidestep the brunt of the cut and blast with her Fleet Feet, but was left with a singed tail and a shortness of breath.

At this rate, the match would be a stalemate. However, with no sun and few faithful to the gods, she found herself at a disadvantage...

[holeheart]

The monster, meanwhile, didn't seem to be losing any energy. In fact, he seemed to be getting faster and more brutal as the fight wore on. The excitement of an opponent that actually fought back drove him onwards. He just kept coming, slash after slash, move after move. It was then that he adopted a new technique; he grabbed the cloth ribbon on the end of the sword and flung the blade around like it weighed nothing, crashing it into the ground near the goddess... then, right on top of her. He expected her to dodge and brought the blade right, hoping to catch her.

lol I'm watching bleach with my friends as I log this

This particular strike weakened her significantly. Reeling, the wolf snarled, attempting to maintain her form. As a last resort, she focused her energy on her beads.

As she watched them lash out, striking the demon's heart, she fervently hoped it would end the fight. The white-furred wolf's image flickered, as if fading from sight.

SO AM I

[holeheart]

The Hollow cackled, then shifted slightly. Just slightly. The beads struck him through the chest, ripping into his shirt and flesh, going straight through. The monster collapsed on the ground, unmoving.

[sunrisewolf.livejournal.com]

And it was at that moment that Amaterasu had lost enough energy, and a middle-aged woman took the place of the wolf. She stared at the still body, wondering if it would disintegrate-- demons did that when killed.

[holeheart]

It was then the Hollow's eyes opened up wide and he jumped up, slicing the woman clear through, grinning like a madman. From her position, Amaterasu might be able to see where the beads went through Hichigo; straight through a natural gaping hole, right where his heart should be. The beads had made small injuries on either side of the hole, but had, for the most part, gone straight through the hole.

"Gotcha."

[sunrisewolf.livejournal.com]

"Interesting," said Amaterasu calmly, although the pain from the last sword's slash was, as far as she knew, one that would lead her to a fatal end. She would not give the demon satisfaction of seeing her suffer.

"I have been here long enough to know that I do not die permanently, child." The last word emerged as a low growl. "
Death in this world was an experience she had yet to face. But just like her predecessor, the wolf Shiranui, Ammy wasn't scared at the prospect of it.

[holeheart]

The monster grinned and removed his sword, drawing it across her chest again as he did so. "I don't care if you come back. At least you put up a fight. But I won."

"Shame I won't get to have that tasty soul of yours... hehehe. The porter makes it off limits. But there are plenty of other sheep to slaughter."
