Hozumi training post

Hozumi's eyes slowly opened, looking up at a gray dull roof. He got up, hearing a crackling noise "Wait" Hozumi looked down, surprised to see that all of his wounds were gone. Not only that, but his old worn out clothes were gone and replaced with new ones. The most surprising thing to him however was his hair. It had exponentially grown and was already near his waist

Hozumi threw off the blanket covering his body and got up, looking around the small cave. The only thing inside was 2 bags and a fire, which lit up the entire cave. He looked around, wondering where Lucy went. "Miss? Are you around?" He asked, looking around and waiting for a response. But nothing. He noticed a small hole, barely big enough for 1 person. Hozumi crawled through the small hole, shocked to find out he was nowhere near where they used to be. There were multiple black, quartz like trees going upwards with no end in sight. "Where am I?"[b]"Hueco Mundo, but the Forest of Menos to be more exact"[/b] Hozumi turned, his face brightening up. Lucy was sitting on a large rock, looking at Hozumi [b]"And for the next month, your new home"[/b] Hozumi looked slightly confused "My new home? But I already have a hom-"[b]"Not anymore you don't!"[/b] Hozumi jumped, straightening up with his back straight. Lucy smirked [b][i]Dammit, this is so unfair. Everything he does just makes me want to lift him in the air and cuddle with him. Deep breaths Lucy, this is for him[/i][/b] She took a deep breath, her expression serious [b]"Listen, in your current state you're incredibly weak. You were barely able to defeat a low class hollow. By now, you should already be killing Menos. But I blame your mother for that, holding you back and wasting your talent. Lucky for you though, I won't be as nice as your mommy"[/b] She said, jumping off the rock with a grin "But I wanna train with my mom, she's super strong!" Lucy chuckled [b]"Yeah, she's pretty strong. But if you stayed with her, both you and your mom would of died"[/b] She said, glaring at Hozumi. He gulped, a bead of sweat going down his forehead. He was intimidated by this woman, but yet listened and respected her.

Lucy sighed, seeing how scared Hozumi looked [b]"Listen, I don't expect you to understand what's going on...not yet. Just understand, it isn't safe for you in the Soul Society or the Human World. There's a giant target on your back Hozumi, people with powers greater than my own will be coming after you. Focus on getting stronger, then you'll be able to protect yourself and your mommy. Deal?"[/b] She said with a smile. Hozumi smiled, nodding "Its a deal, but only if I get to protect you too. Okay?" He held out his pinky, trying to initiate a pinky promise Lucy bit her lip, trying to resist his kawainess. She turned around, having to look away otherwise she would of squeezed him right there [b]"Okay, lets go. Your training starts now"[/b] Hozumi jumped with joy "Yaay, I get to fight again. Oh yeah I forgot, whats your name lady?" He asked, scratching his cheek. She turned around, her eyes cold [b]"Lucy, or well that was the name given to me"[/b] She said, as she turned around and began to walk away. Hozumi smiled, following her "I'm Hozumi, nice to meet you!" She smiled, picking up the pace [b]"Hurry up"[/b] Hozumi nodded, keeping the smile the entire time "Okay Lucy-chan!" 

The two jumped from tree to tree, following a group of 5 hollows. There were 3 high classed hollows, 1 middle and 1 low. The group stop, along with Lucy and Hozumi who stayed in the trees. Lucy looked at Hozumi, who was slightly panting [b][i]He's managed to keep up with me the entire time and is already using his reiatsu, maybe he's ready to face regular classed hollows[/i][/b] Lucy grew a mischievous smile, making Hozumi gulp "Uhh, Lucy-chan?" She turned to Hozumi, unsheathing her sword and holding it out to Hozumi. He grabbed it without question [b]"I'll take the 3 stronger hollows while you take out the 2 weaker ones. You can tell which is which right? With your eyes?[/b] Hozumi nodded "Yeah, its the the one on the left and the one in the back right" Lucy nodded. She turned to the hollows, lifting her hand with 3 fingers up. She began the countdown. 3.2.1.0. Lucy and Hozumi leaped from the trees, Hozumi landing behind the group and Lucy landing in the front, drawing their attentions. She pointed at the 3 strongest hollows [b]"You, you and you. The three of you come and take me on. You two weaklings take on my disciple"[/b] The hollows looked confused for a moment. Lucy sighed [b]"Fricking idiots[/b] She shunpoed in the middle of the group, grabbing the 2 strongest hollows and throwing them through multiple trees. She grabbed the last one by its mask and leaped in the air, throwing it at the other two [b]"I'll be back Hozumi, they better be dead when I come back or no dinner!"[/b]

Hozumi's eyes were in killing like state. The last words had changed him completely. There was no way he was going to go without dinner, he'd rather die. He pointed his swords at the hollows "Listen, there is no way I'm gonna go without dinner! So could you all just die!" He yelled, running with great speeds for his age. The smaller, weaker hollow began to charge towards him. It was a chameleon like hollow with 6 legs. It ran towards him with speeds greater than his, but he expected this. Hozumi grinned. A blue glow began to surround his feet, increasing his speeds even more. He leaped high over the air, far too high for the small hollow to reach. [i]Next just thin it out like wire and[/i] Before he had jumped, Hozumi had made a small wire of reishi from his finger tips. The chameleon hollow had walked over it, unknowing tangling its own legs. Hozumi yanked his arms, pulling himself towards the hollow and tightening the wires around its legs. Unable to move, it turned towards Hozumi and opened its mouth, trying to swallow him whole. He laughed, stomping on each side of its open mouth with his legs, standing on his tip toes over its bottomless mouth. "Don't think so" He kicked off the hollows mouth, backflipping and slicing through its mask multiple times. It let out a roar, stumbling a couple of times and falling on its stomach. Hozumi turned to the other hollow, who was strangely watching instead of attacking. It merely watched them, with its pitch black eyes. "One down, one more to go"

Once again, he surrounded his feet in the blue glow and ran towards the hollow. It grinned, forcing Hozumi skidding to a halt "You're not just a hollow, are you?" The hollow chuckled [b]"Aren't you an observant one. So your eyes really are capable of seeing a being's reishi"[/b] Hozumi gulped, taking a step back and grabbing his hilt with both hands. Him and the hollow both walked in circles, each one observing each other. In Hozumi's eyes, the Hollow was made up of the usual hollow's reishi. But inside of it was something dark and pitch black, something not from Hueco Mundo. The hollow was about to leap forward but before he could Hozumi had leaped back, skidding to a stop [b]"Hehehe, why so serious? All I want are your eye's and blood. Is that too much to ask for?"[/b] The hollow asked, taking steps forward as its head spun in a circle. The entire time, it retained a creepy and unhollow like smile. It was as if it found pleasure in scaring Hozumi. Suddenly, the hollow stopped and looked at direction Lucy went to [b]"Damn, the bitch is already coming back. We'll meet again child of Lessa"[/b] The hollow's eyes red glow came back, along with the black being that was influencing it. 

"Lessa? Who's Lessa?" Hozumi shook his head "Thats right, I gotta kill you or no dinner!" He charged towards the hollow. The hollow roared, firing off a quick cero at Hozumi. The cero hit, causing an explosion and creating a large dust cloud. The hollow looked around, seeing nothing where the cero hit. No remains of a dead body, nothing. For a moment, the hollow thought it had killed Hozumi "Looking for me!?" A voice said, from above. The hollow looked up, Hozumi high up in the air and falling towards the hollow. It opened its mouth to fire another cero. But before it could, Hozumi had already reached its face and slashed through its mask, killing it effortlessly "Wow, these thing really are dumb" He said, laughing to himself. 

Lucy landed on the ground next to him, one of the giant hollows on her shoulders [b]"Not bad Hozumi. But not good enough. No dinner for you[/b] Hozumi frowned "Awww, but you promised!" He said, chasing after Lucy who was already walking away. A smirk came across her face [b]"Fine you can have dinner, but only if you beat me!"[/b] Hozumi grinned, a blue glow surrounding his feet "You're on!" He ran with quick speeds, surprising Lucy and leaving her in the dust [b]"...what the? He can already manipulate reiatsu?! Grrr, damn you child hiding things from me. You'll pay for this!!!"[/b] She yelled, chasing after Hozumi back to their home.
