[u]Nishiki Kalemoru[/u]

[b]"HUAAA!"[/b] Eyes locked, hands clamped to her Scythe and target in sight, Nishiki hauled her eighth Scythe around the left side of her body, swiping at the bottom of a spider-like, large, 8-legged Hollow. It jumped just in time for it not to get cut but then landed with a loud thud, falling onto it's side before attempting to stand back up in haste. The Hollow mask it wore had an ominous, mocking feel to it... as if it continuously mocked every movement Nishiki made. [b]"Hollows just keep looking weirder and weirder the more I fight them... This one must hold more power than those others I killed a few minutes ago, but that won't save it"[/b] A sly grin stretched across Nishiki's face before halting and shrinking once the [i]others[/i] decided to comment. 

[i]"YOU WORTHLESS! USELESS! POWERLESS! PIECE OF SHIT!!! HOW THE FUCK DID YOU MISS SUCH AN EASY SHOT!!! LEARN TO FUCKING FIGHT OR JUST LET YOURSELF DIE!! DISGRACEFUL!!"[/i] [b]"OH JUST SHUT UP!!! I can fight it! I'm not weak!!"[/b] [i]"Ohhh my Nikiiii~ You sound boooold~ You shouldn't talk back unless you want to be puuuuunished~ Umm~"[/i] [b]"DAMMIT! GET OUT OF MY HE-[i]ULGH![/i]"[/b] The Hollow managed to steady itself and raise back onto it's feet while Nishiki argued with her our mind. Using her distraction as an advantage, it wasted no time in head-butting Nishiki with full force, sending her flying backwards into a nearby thorn bush. [i]"THERE YOU FUCKING GO AGAIN!! YOU SHOULD OF BLOCKED THAT ATTACK!! DO YOU NOT KNOW ANYTHING BITCH?!!!"[/i] [b]"I would of blocked it if you and Lust didn't DISTRACT ME!!"[/b] [i]"Why don't you just eat it? Com'on! It would be delicious! It may be weak but you never know, could have a sweet or savoury taste! Umm! Just One Bite! Let Me Eat It Nikkki!"[/i] [b]"NO! You Gluttonous bastard! I don't need it's power so why would I make you eat it?!"[/b] Nishiki climbed to her feet, ignoring the thin short cuts dotted all over her body due to the thorns. Flicking her head up, she prepared herself by bending her knees slightly, Emerald Scythe ready in her hands before leaping off of her back foot and swinging the weapon back. [i]"Heheheheheheheh, you think we could steal it's shell? Maybe an arm? Or a leg? Or a mask? Oooo! Let's take it's mask! Comeoncomeoncomeon Niki! You know you want it's mask! Let's take it's mask! I want it! I want it! Gimme IT!!"[/i] [b]"ARRGH! NOO!"[/b] While Nishiki yelled with anger at Greed, she heavily forced her blade forward to slash diagonally downwards straight through the Hollow's mask.

A short cracking noise later, the mask shattered shortly before the hollow disintegrated. [i]"Naaw! What'd you do that for?! I wanted it! I wanted it! It was going to be my greatest treasure! All mine! ALL MINE!"[/i] [b]"NNG! SHUT UP!! I've had it! GET OUT OF MY HEAD!"[/b] Quickly growing furious with the constant random moments of torment that her Zanpakuto put her through, Nishiki clutched her head with both hands, dropping her Scythe while her body hunched forward. Her eyes were sealed shut as her teeth tightly grit, growls escaping between the tight gap. [i]"YOU SHUT UP!! WE'VE HAD IT WITH YOUR BULLSHIT!" "Na-ah-ahh~ That's baad Nikiii~ You really want to be punished again this time, don't you?~ Umm~" "It's your fault!! You should of got the mask! You should of stolen it's mask! Or a leg! I would of taken the leg! But NO! You have to destroy my treasure!!" "If you would of let me have a bite, I would of been satisfied but you keep starving me Nikki... I can't stand having nothing to eat Nikki! You know you have to feed me SO FEED ME!" "..Whhhhyyyy caaaan't weeee alllllll.... juuuustt sleeeeepp?.... I'mmm..... tiiiiireeeddd..." "Bunch of idiots. Clearly I'm the best out of you all. Woman. You don't appreciate me enough. You should use me and only me since I'm simply the best. I'm the sharpest, most gorgeous one out of us all. Especially when you include that shoddy Emerald Scythe... That one doesn't even have a spirit and you're using it... Eww, such... filth... Clearly I'm the most superior weapon. Why not just choose the obvious option and forget these imbeciles and use me? It's the smartest and best decision you could ever make in your entire life. I can't believe you're stupid enough that you can't even see it."[/i]

[b]"STOP!... S-STOP TALKING!... GET OUT OF MY HEAD!! GET OUT!!"[/b] Nishiki roughly screamed, digging her nails into her own head brutally while shaking her head harshly, hoping it'll make them stop... Her spiritual energy quickly began running a muck. Pulsing as it rapidly switched between increasing and decreasing... She took a few steps forward before falling to her knees, the hoard of voices in her head moulding into a cluster of strident noise that felt as though it was attacking her... tearing and clawing through her brain... [b]"I can't take this... I need... to do something... but what..."[/b] She whispered between coarse pants, unable to even think due her mind being high-jacked. [b]"What... can I do... go back... but... I can't... I don't want to go back!"[/b] Biting her lip enough that it bled, Nishiki tried to calm her energy down before centring her mind... A large group of Hollows were already making their way to her, soon to surround her, trapping her.

Abruptly, her eyes shot open. [b]"I'm trapped."[/b] All emotion began draining from her face, her now blank gaze flicked to her Emerald Scythe laid peacefully on the ground behind her. A slight Emerald glow emitted from the blade which was odd... Nishiki had never noticed that before. Calming her shaking hands, they stilled for a moment before Nishiki took them off of her head. The noise continued to plague her mind, but right now Nishiki wasn't inside her mind, or more, she had managed to detach herself from it somehow. A high-pitched, consistent ring shaded her hearing as she wasn't able to hear anything else at all. The voices inside her mind had been drowned out by it, along with the sounds that surrounded her. Since her mind had became clouded with her Zanpakuto spirits and her hearing had been drowned out to only hold a constant ring sound, Nishiki only had her eyesight and instinct left to fall back on. Her right hand stretched towards her scythe, caressing the handle as it slipped further upwards and stopped just below where the handle bent. Slowly dragging her body up onto her feet, Nishiki slid her left foot further back, scraping back some dirt while bending her knees a little. Gripping her Scythe tightly with both hands, Nishiki held it horizontally as she watched the crowd of Hollow's circle her. 

Closing her eyes, she felt the distribution of the wind for a moment before-[b]"There."[/b] Leaping straight up into the air, the bundle of Hollows had just all leaped into the middle in a bid to grab Nishiki to find that she had escaped. While in the air, Nishiki slowly span her body upward 180 degrees, dragging the force behind her blade before whipping her body back around, completing a 360 spin. As she whipped her body, she also whipped her scythe around. The sheer power behind her swing crated an arc of invisible force that smashed into the earth below, ripping a good amount of Hollows in two while causing a large slash into the dirt that was three times the length of her Scythe as well as three times the width of the blade. Her attack sliced into the ground and even though the majority of the Hollows were still of alive, they seemed to begin cowering backwards, some of the smaller ones shuffling away.

Nishiki only landed back onto the ground lightly, carrying a straight face. [b]"No running. You're here to kill me, now stop being cowards and FIGHT!"[/b] Launching forward, Nishiki held her Scythe in her right hand, spinning it with her fingers as her left arm and hand was extended outwards to her left. Her palm was open, grabbing a Hollow and smashing them into the next one in line behind them, then smashing those two into the next and then the next. At the same time, Nishiki span her Scythe to mince the Hollows on her right, stopping her Scythe from spinning by suddenly grabbing the handle tightly before slicing all of the Hollows in front of her, killing them all with one strike each. After the ones in front were quickly taken care of, she pushed the Hollows at the end of the line gathered by the force of her left hand against a tree, grinding the line tightly into the bark before hooking her blade onto the stomach of the first Hollow she had grabbed. Nishiki faced the Hollow's sides before, in one mint green flash of a slash, she had cut through all of the 20 Hollow's she had lined up, including the tree they were smooshed against. All that was seen was a flash of mint green light before Nishiki appeared on the other side of the tree, gaining a delayed reaction as everything seemed to of been stunned before all 20 Hollows burst into fragments and the top half of the thick tree fell forward. 

While in her bent stance, Nishiki took a deep breath before standing straight. The little Hollows that remained attempted to escape, however they were no match for Nishiki's Shunpo as within the next minute or so, the last of the Hollow dispersed into the air.

A moment of silence past of nothing but gently breathing before Nishiki sealed her Scythe, sheathing her Zanpakuto before shortly returning back into her own mind. [b]"That was good exercise."[/b] Happy to hear no snide response from inside her head, Nishiki began to smile. The spirits must of chosen to leave her be for now since she down-right ignored them... But the next time they'd return, Nishiki knew would be worse than this time... Recently her spirits had began getting worse lately... instead of just one or two entering her mind to talk, all seven seem to decide to crash there every once in a while, which proved highly bothersome... especially since they always had something to argue with Nishiki about... However, Nishiki began finding ways to even escape her own mind which helped but only worked while she was already fighting or training as she had something to do that didn't require much thought... [b]"Well, time to return"[/b] Spinning on her heel, Nishiki jumped forward before bursting into a sprint, heading back to the Seireitei full speed ahead.
