Ume absorbs all he has to say and considers it with great care. "I see, so hungry is always there .... no matter what I do ... haha! Too bad we can't use appetite suppressants!" She giggles at this thought. "I should get a bit of training in ..." she mutters as she looks at the other hollows in the area. "I will need a way to defend myself if you are not here." She hugs him tightly. "But, I hope to never be parted from you, Shin. I love you, forever. I want to always be paired with you. Maybe we could have little souls of our own ... what are they called? Children? You would be a good dad." She giggles again at her thoughts. She considers her training plan and decides to start with basic hollow moves before moving on to something more advanced in Las Noches.
She watches other hollows practicing different techniques and sits on a rock in consideration. ‘Hmmm … so, that is an interesting attack. Spitting spirit balls at your enemies could be a useful defense …Perhaps I should try it, too.’ She focuses her spiritual powers into her chest and up into her throat. Ume draws a deep breath and works on manipulating this spiritual power into a ball. As she spits it, it does not retain its shape like the others and fails miserably. ‘I see … I must have spat it too soon. Let’s see, if I work it in my mouth a bit more and continue to concentrate it, then it will most likely harden up more. I think I best try that.’ She closes her eyes and focuses inwards on the spiritual pressure she has building up in her throat. ‘Harden … harden ... harden more …’ The ball of spiritual energy begins to build up, then condense, and then, finally, harden up. She is not satisfied by its current hardness and compacts the spiritual power even more in her mouth and then opens her eyes to narrow slits. She sees a female hollow attempting to flirt with Shin and she feels a deep-seated jealousy over take her. Ume growls deeply and spits her spirit ball at the brash feminine hollow instinctively. She sneers at her and says, “Keep your claws off my man!” Ume, not satisfied by her glancing blow on the female hollow, begins to create yet another Bala in her mouth. The female hollow turns to attack her back and is met by yet another spirit bullet to the mask. Her mask begins to crack and Ume screams angrily at the other hollow. “Leave us alone! DO NOT DARE GO NEAR HIM!” She hisses at her and begins to spit more bala at her. Ume continues her onslaught until the hollow backs off, mask shattered and badly injured. She stands there seething in an intense rage. Still feeling a need to continue destroying something, she turns her attention towards some rock formations and begins to obliterate them with repeated bala attacks. She screams angrily, her normally lovely voice screeching in an outraged hollow roar. After a while, she settles down and returns to her training, unaware of how successfully she had performed the bala attack, not jut once, but many times over again and again and again. She stands there staring at some weaker hollows, which were now hiding behind what was left of the rock formations in the area. “Why are you hiding from me? You are not in any danger …” she says softly. She frowns as she floats there, in consideration of what had just happened. “Did I really loose my temper? I do not believe that I have ever done that before!” She sighs deeply and says to the hollows, “Either move out of my way or become one with my targets. I would prefer not to kill anybody today.” She then goes back to hocking up spirit balls and turning them into powerful spiritual bullets. The hollows quickly zip and flee far off from the craggy outcrop and watch her destroy the remainder of the rock formation. “This technique, it is called bala, is it not?” she asks nobody in particular. She begins to consider what she can do as an arrancar and not be considered evil. Her nimble mind, freed from her constant fear of being found by a shinigami, agilely forms up some ideas and options. “I will be like my Shin. I will help out with bringing down the wicked hollows and likewise wicked shinigami. Yes, that seems right. Or perhaps, I will just show them that I am a peace lover. Maybe I just will not care what they think of me. Just like I did not care when I was a mod soul. Yes, that is what I will do … I will not care what they think and just love my Shin. I will attack if I must or if Shin tells me they are bad. Hmmmm …” Her next thought is that Hueco Mundo is quite dull being one vast desert and only hollows to play with. She sees some hollows shredding holes into the fabric of space and exiting through them to Earth. “Oh, yes! I recall those now! It is called garganta! A hole between dimensions ripped open like parchment paper or fabric.” She narrows her eyes and claws at the air, mimicking their behavior. She then draws her false zanpakutou and slashes through the air to rip a hole with it, instead. At first, she is met with little to no success. However, she does not give up. Ume narrows her eyes and thinks this matter over. “Why yes! I understand!” she exclaims as she sees a hollow entering Hueco Mundo from Earth. Although she is certain she understands, she excitedly grabs the startled hollow and says to it, “Show me how to make your holes in the air so that I can get to Earth.” She sniffs the air and smells that this hollow is tainted with the blood of a shinigami and some humans. “Oh, you are a nasty hollow, are you not? Not satisfied with the dead, you actually killed humans.” She tries to think of how she feels about humans and recalls a nice, if confused, young man named Yuri. “Did you kill a white haired, white fleshed, blood red eyed human? Answer truthfully …” It has a wild look in its eyes, lacking the psychological comprehension to answer her, but it instinctively backs away from her, comprehending just enough how dangerous she is in comparison to him. “Answer me …” she hisses. Ume is unaware how rare it is for low level hollows to retain their intelligence. She back hands it, cracking its mask, and pins it to a rock formation. “ANSWER ME!!!!” She begins to form a bala in her mouth as she considers the possibility that it has attacked and killed a friend of hers. It screeches at her and spits a bala at her and she unleashes her own at the same time, destroying his bala and shattering his mask. “So, it is true … your kind were once human ... I never was human, but I can not stand the idea that you would devour humans. Your kind disgusts me.” She recalls what Sakura said about what happens to the devoured souls when the hollow that ate them dies. She says, “I hate to do this, but their blood cries out to me … die and release the souls you devoured.” She fires a final bala at him, causing him to dissolve away to nothing. Although she is classified as a hollow, she does not thi nk of herself as such and is quickly becoming deadly to her own kind. Ume has no sympathy for malicious beings and no desire to be considered as one. Her impulse to travel to Earth returns with a vengeance and she furiously tears at the fabric of space once more, ripping wide a garganta using her spiritual powers and hard core determination. She turns to Shin, "Want to head to earth?"

"Well, sounds fun," Mizu replied. She wanted to get stronger fast, but she didn't think that what Skeith had suggested sounded like a good idea quite yet. "But could we work on my speed a bit first? It would be nice to be able to avoid most of the hollows' attacks so that I wouldn't get myself killed." ((It's alright, I almost got a concussion from a concert yesterday.))

Skeith looked down at her. "If thats what you wish, then alright i will" he said, speed was needed in order for her to dodge techniques.

"Thank you Skeith-senpai!" she said. She got into her stance. "So, I'm thinking that the better I get at dodging your techniques, the better my speed will get?" ((Um, how many lines do you have to have to gain a stat point? I kinda forgot, as I mentioned before, got a concussion last night.))

Skeith began to charge up a attack in his hand. "I'll send my fastest attack i have at you then" he said with a slight smile.

((Ugh, I'm gonna go find all the post between you and I, and the one or two where Yuan comes in and do that now. And no, not partying too hard, my friend and I got caught in a most pit. Or two. xd )) "Sure," she replied, getting ready. Then she remembered a song she had heard. " 'Hit me with your best shot. Come and hit me with your best shot. Hit me with your best shot. Fire away!' "

((lol i see))
Skeith shot a red ball of energy at mizu, only aiming for the ground below her. He knew this attack was fast, but she could dodge it.

Seeing the attack was aimed for her feet, she got the feeling that he wanted her to jump. But jumping would make it easier for an enemy to attack me and harder for me to dodge. Instead, she dove to the left, avoiding the attack that way.

Skeith smiled a bit as he made his scythe appear"you won't learn anything with me not giving it my all" he said as he pointed it at her, a red energy began to charge his scythe.

Wait, is that a Cero?!? Oh crap. She prepared herself, clearing her head. Now, just watch, wait, and react. Watch wait, and react.

Skeith pointed his sycthe downward at the ground instead of at mizu. "Cero" he said lauching a powerful slice at the ground, the side effect was the attack splitting into 4 different less powerful cero attacks coming at mizu from 4 different directions.

((Ack, crud, sorry I'm not done with my word count... sweatdrop sweatdrop sweatdrop I'm coming along well, but I still got a long way to go... sweatdrop sweatdrop )) Wait... They got a little closer. Watch... they were coming from the left, right, front, and back. Ugh, he figured out what I wanted to stay away from. I have to stay out of the air as much as I can, because I'm a much easier target than on the ground. But I guess I have no other option. She watched them get a bit closer. Then she drew her zanpak-to. And react! She jumped in the air, the small Cero colliding with each other. But now she was stuck. Crap, can't dodge that well from up here. I have to try.

Skeith smiled. "She left herself open" he said slashing his scythe sending large gust of wind at her just to knock her back. "If you want to dodge techniques you'll have to do better than that, don't think to hard about how to react to situations" he said with a smile.

She saw that the attack was just meant to knock her back, but she treated it like an attack all the same. She shifted her grip on her zanpak-to and held it infront of her, one hand on the hilt and one hand on the blade. She used it to block most of the wind, and only got knocked back a little bit. She dropped to the ground, shifting her grip back. I can't go into the air again, lest I be hit with a real attack. Awww, can't figure it out? The mocking voice inside my head was talking again. "Oh will you just SHUT UP?!?" Mizu started yelling aloud at her. "For the last time, I do NOT want you commenting on everything I freaking do! So just go back to that place in my head where you stay, and stay there WITHOUT TALKING!! Geez..."((Yes, I finally got it all done. And yes, I did it right. I think))
