Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kantarou stretches and lays there watching Thunder as he practices Bala. "Do I have other members for the Hyakki Yakō? No. Not currently, really. It is something that I have decided that I want. The hungry ghosts are not typically suitable. Too many of them are mindless. It's one thing if I play the cute, sweet kitty and pretend to be ignorant and foolish. Cats do that. Besides, the list of truly useful hollows is limited." With that, he starts to mimic Thunder in attempting to do bala. He concentrates the reiryoku that he had just siphoned in when he used garganta and then forces it down into his fore paws and takes aim at a hollow that is wandering by. "One, two, three, four. Make the hollow dance. Five six, seven eight. Make him dodge and quake. Nine, ten, eleven, twelve. Time to take a proper aim. HEY! I didn't tell you to run away!" Kantarou gives chase and with great agility turns on a dime, so to speak, and tackles the hollow to the ground. He opens his nightmarish mouth wide and clamps down with great pressure and speed. The hollow yowls and tries to break free, but it is too late. The cat has his prey and is not letting go. The cat transforms into his cat boy form to increase his reach with his claws. "GRRRRRRRR!" Claws and fangs flash and slash. The unlucky hollow would have been better off being the cat hollow's play thing.

Kantarou grins his cheese eating grin. The hound from hell uses his garganta to make himself dinner, out of all things a rabbit. The cat beast laughs hilariously, rolling around in the air as though he were on the ground. "You crazy mutt! You have all of this power, all of the delicious humans out there and you come back with a little bunny rabbit!" Kantarou then shoots his bala at another errant hollow and devours it without waiting for it to finish dying. He had gotten quite hungry watching Thunder eat that rabbit. "What a waste, hardly any reiatsu. Poo." His opinion is that if it has low reiatsu, it is hardly worth eating. More like junk food. Still, beggars can't be choosers. He shrugs it off and continues to practice bala until the dead tree nearest to them in the ruined landscape is nothing but a pile of ashes. "Bleh, I am getting bored already with this."

Kantarou waits patiently as his canine companion heads to Earth to stalk some hapless human traveler. The cat takes a short nap, only to be bothered by a swarm of night sparrows landing on him and swirling around him like so many obnoxious little flies. That is to say, if flies had beaks as sharp as knives. He swats at them without so much as opening his eyes and flicks his tail irritably. Finally, he furiously lashes out and swipes at the birds as they chant, "Chi chi chi chi!" He roars angrily. Not a deep lion's roar. Not even the typical haunted cry of a hollow. A loud, ground quaking angry roar of a monster. He slashes several out of the sky with his claws and rends many of them to ribbons. "Chi ch- KRK!!!" He snaps down on a dozen at one go and slaughters the current flock bothering him. As Thunder returns through his garganta, he watches with interest. Kantarou primps and grooms the blood off of himself and starts pawing the air, attempting to make his own garganta. A frustrated slash through the air nets him his desired result. A ragged hole in space between dimensions. It is most satisfying. However, like most cats, he sits in the entrance and ponders whether he wants in or out. "Another flea bag, Thunder? Really? I guess junk food is the order of the day. What the hell. Maybe I will catch something for myself. These little flying pests do not fill you up as much as I would like." He slips out of the garganta and immediately begins to stalk around, hunting for prey - whatever that might be. He lucks out and captures for himself a fat rodent, but that is not terribly satisfying. "PTU! DISGUSTING!" He pities real cats. This is not what he considers fine dining. Not that it stopped him from eating the whole rat. And then horking it back out into a vile mess of ... it would be better not to describe that. At least he managed to make it to somebody's kitchen floor mat before he missed and did that on something easier to clean up. He stalks around the house, looking for something much better. As he walks around, he comes across the home owner's cat. "Why, hello there, beautiful~" He purrs and considers turning her into a nekomata like himself. The temptation passes as she precedes to eat the dead rat. "Foul taste in food, lady." He wanders into the bed room of the apartment and gonzuis the human and exits the room, licking his chops. "Much more satisfying." With that he rips another garganta and returns to the dry cat box called Hueco Mundo. "Hey, Thunder, I'm back from the human world. This garganta thing is not too bad. The food there kind of sucks. There must be something more powerful to eat."

Kantarou grooms himself with satisfaction and watches Thunder open yet another Garganta. Being a cat, he does not immediately decide to follow, despite the fact that it was his idea to leave originally. It probably is because the dog hollow decided on the location and went forward with the idea without Kantarou. The cat gets up slowly and stretches. He sniffs the garganta and finally slips through before it closes off. "Eh, I guess we could. I suppose that the worst that could happen is we find low grade meals and not that delicious strong reiatsu that we crave." With that statement, his tail tip vanishes into the portal, but not before those blasted birds joined them. "Chi chi chi chi!"

Claudia made her way into Muchos from the Menos Forest. Her encounter at the Menos Forest was still very much a bust. At least she had some small encounter with Ronan before she made her way out. He had placed his hand on her head on which she could only guess was some small form of affection or recognition. He would then state that he would catch up with her, and speak to her at a later time. Which could be shortly there after or when ever he pleased. The small stuffed white bear was still clutched with her arms. "Do you want to play with me?" the little bear spoke out in its mechanical like tone. "Oh hush will you!? No one wants to play with us, Mr. Wigglesworth." she scolded the toy in an annoyed tone. It was then that she would fine a rock to sit down on; her legs hanging freely off of the edge. She would then let her legs kick somewhat freely back and forth. "Is it time for tea?" the little stuffed bear would continue to speak. "I don't want to play pretend." the small child of a hollow would speak back.

Claudia looked over once she heard the familiar voice echo throughout the area. Yellow eyes gazed up to find Ronan marching his way in her direction. It was somewhat unexpected, she didn't figure he would follow her so promptly. He would manage to catch word of the conversation between herself, and the stuffed bear. The man would ask if it was true that she could not find a playmate. "Not a single entity in the human world or the hollow one." she would clarify. It was then that he would question her still playing pretend. "Somewhat. I find it clever to use the few gifts that this body allows me to have, and Mr. Wigglesworth still see me as a child. You did not notice it before?" she would continue speaking. The young girl's yellow eyes would widen after Ronan spoke of being surprised that she was still alive. Her surprised expression was soon followed by a playful grin. "I agree, considering that my teacher is inadequate." Shortly after speaking, Claudia would hop down from the rock, and stood the stuffed bear down on the sand. As if the machine knowing it was let free, began to move it's plush limbs to walk. It moved about unnaturally, extending it's limbs about in different lengths in stride. She would then reach up with both hands in the air, signaling that she wished to be picked up by the much taller man.

Brandon arrives at the location he followed to, and far off distance he senses Ronan but also senses another, a small girl it seems but he feels uneasy towards her as well. Despite that, he walks as his coat sways with him as he walks to Ronan and Claudia"Quite the statement you made, gosh you gave me the shivers all over." Brandon stated with a calm face expression not scared to be in the presence of Ronan."However you stating your control over the land, that is what grabbed my interest, you see i am no normal human." Brandon then whispers the words"Fullbring activate."Brandon shows his true form but also its the true presence he has, the hollowfied human presence. The fur on his jacket represents Full Hollowification, his hair being handsome looking as well hollow white refering to being tainted by hollows. His form is his fullbring, only his true power shows when he activates his fullbring therefore it exposes everything about him being tainted by hollows. "You see ill never be the same again after me becoming tainted, however i love the feeling of the power that dwells in me." Brandon turns his face to the little girl with his icy light blue like eyes"I am amazed a little girl like you is around here, you must know how to survive out here." Brandon's right hand lands on the spot where his heart is"Its nice to be in your presence both of you." Brandon says so as he bows like a butler being very formal like and then stands back up waiting for their response.

A loud, warm laugh would echo out from the large male Hollow as the small, child like one would call him smug for not being able to admit that he was her inadequate survival instructor. Had it been any other soul that insulted Ronan so, they would find themselves dead before their body would hit the endless sands. "Hey, I can't be so inadequate. You're still very much alive." A warm smile crosses his face at Claudia's kiss, and he swaps her over to his left arm. This whole scene seemed completely out of character for the man clad in red. That was til the presence of the measly human drew near. It was not long after that he would speak of how he had been given shivers from the meeting with Ronan. This boy, Brandon, would even continue on to state that the man had peaked his interest as well. Claudia would look to the man holding her while telling her stating it sounded like he wanted something from him. "Did I? Cause...your standing here...in front of me." Ronan would say as he stood up from the rock which he sat moments before. His right arm would raise and he would extend his index finger to point to the human as he actives his Fullbring to change his appearance. "Fullbring...hmph~! A power stolen, yet one that you don't understand. You are still a miserable human." His voice was as cold as ice, and as sharp as any knife. Black energy would swirl around the tip of his index finger, aimed at Brandon, mixed with some blood red energy. Despite this obvious show of power, Ronan would allow him to continue to speak about his power and himself. Referring to his negative reiatsu as a 'taint' that gave him power, one that he had not feared. It was a joke, the tall man getting annoyed rather easily as he grinds his heavy booted foot into the sand beneath him. "You speak of a 'taint', but you don't have a basic understanding of that power. It is a faux hope that allow you children to sleep peacefully at night!" His patience had worn thin having to listen to, and deal with, this child of man. After he spoke once more to Claudia as if she were a child, that is when the monster of a man decided the fate of the boy. A cruel, wicked grin crossed Ronan's face after the boy bowed to him. The first sign of Brandon knowing his place, and most likely the very last. "I had promised that I would kill those I saw in my land once I had returned." His voice so cold that the air around them seem to drop in temperature as he spoke. It was not long after when the first shot was fired, aimed for Brandon's heart. A second, then third followed suit each aimed towards the human's heart. "I guess you could not just wait could you."
