| - The streets of the Soul Society were quiet as the moon was perched high in the sky with darkness and small specks of light sprinkled all over. Many of it's citizens were in their dreams, waiting for the sun to rise to begin the next day. However, in the deep dark shadows, a hulking figure with only it's mask showing walked through the streets, looking for it's next meal. The patter of feet was heard through the streets, waking and startling some of the citizens who opened their doors to see what was going on. "Do not leave your home's, it is far too dangerous at the moment, please stay inside until further notice" A man said as many of the citizens quickly followed orders, shutting their doors as quickly as they could. A squad of people followed the trail of debris left behind by the figure as they drew closer and closer until reaching the spot where they sensed the energy. However, when they arrived all that could be seen was the beast's headless body with blood pouring down it's neck. "What happened to it?" One asked as the Leader of the squad went in to look at the cut done to the hollow, an angry look appeared on his face. "Hit again by the same group, They must have carved the head with something to make sure the body didn't disappear" He said as his men sliced at the body, making it disappear. "But why?" "To send us a message" The squad walked away, returning back to their base as the silence came back to surround the area once more. Far off in the distance, three cloaked figures were walking down the dirt road, one carrying a bloody knapsack as it dripped small patches of blood with each step they took. "Ugh, why am I always the one that has to carry gross things like this?" A female voice said as she readjusted the sack on her shoulder to keep it from slipping. "One, I'm the one holding our ticket to and from our hidden base, and two you're the one who killed it so it's only natural that you carry it back" A male voice said flipping an amulet of sorts in the palm of his hands, hiding a smirk under the hood of his cloak. The female glared at her shorter teammate, wanting to tell him off, but was stopped when their Leader turned his head towards them, making her stop in her tracks. "Enough you two, bickering isn't proactive for any of us, especially now that we know that our next target is in the Rukon District" The deeper voice said as the two took one glare at each other before huffing and turning away. "So, why exactly did we cut the head of that stupid hollow if we already found our target?" The female wondered as they finally arrived at their cave. "I'll explain everything when we get inside and make sure you send that head to Headquarters immediately, understood?" The shorter male nodded as the trio entered the cave and all that could be seen was a beaming light shooting out of it.
