Loss Of Control, return to darkness

It was dark as Tora sat there, around him ripples of spirit energy wavered out live waves. He looked up to the face of that man, the grin on his face devilish, but it was almost shrouded by the darkness. Beside him tiger leaned against a wall in his mouth the inner hollow had a smoke, looking at Tora with an empty gaze as the other man began to talk.

You expect to beat me? I WILL FUCKING CRUSH YOU!

The cold words were like a jagged knife. The man walked away his sword over his shoulder, what was this feeling .... fear? Tiger stepped forth his hand wavering on top of his head patting it. Tora sat not even reacting as tiger came to his level whispering in his ear

Let me take care of this one kiddo.

As the cero cut through the head of the hollow and Jessy had seemingly awoken he had risen.
"W-who are you?"
tiger turned to the voice Toras body was now under his control, the mask over his face the sign of the vizard, but it wasn't his only feature. Toras eyes were now pitch black staring into the eyes of this woman, with a small laugh he turned placing his massive sword upon his shoulders walking through the crowd. The hollows almost jumped to get out of his way. As he reached the aducha it stood there trembling in fear, he knew what was about to happen.

Kids like you are so loud

The massive blade almost seemed streamline in the air, ripping through the aduchas forehead it came to rest within the building beside him. with a grin he turned looking at these beasts his expression one of joy, a smile on his face tiger was having a blast.

Me little girl, You may call me the tiger, i shall b....

The words were interrupted by fingers piercing the mask, his own fingers. they ripped the mask from his face. The mask dropping to the floor Toras eyes now returning to their natural shimmer as he looked at Jessy. a smile coming on his face ... Tora was back

Sorry bout that ms Nessa ... perks of the job I guess.

Turning towards the building all the hollows now running he showed a bit of pride. he brushed his hair back looking at the fire blazing. He had never been good with anti fire moves so he looked to Jessy for a bit of a hand here.

Any ideas on how to stop the Blaze?

Jessy panted, trying to keep her fear under control. What was left of the fire from before had continued to burn, despite her efforts from before. She responded to Tora's question, her voice shakey, filled with fear and confusion.

"At best, maybe I could reduce it, make it as small as possible. I doubt I can even do that though, I already used that attack three times and..."

Her voice trailed off at the end, and she looked down at her zanpaktou. Would she be unable to use its power, now that it was acting this way? The thought was not something she wanted to think about, she was really worried about her zanpaktou's action. She took a deep breath, and looked directly in to Tora's eyes.

"I can try if you want, but if I fail it will likely just spread the blaze."

It was the truth, if she didn't have enough strength, the air wouldn't be pressurized enough to blow out the flames, and would just result in giving the fire more fuel. Her worries and doubts filled her, she was afraid of causing the flames to spread. As she was stationed here, it would be very detrimental should she cause damage, and she couldn't afford that, especially with her zanpaktou already thinking she was weak.

Catch the rain drops

As she spoke Tora could feel his legs collapsing under him, as he fell to his back he lay there staring at the sky sharing a bit of a giggle at his fall, the sky above him seemed to move so serene, such a beautiful night sky. Tora turned to the girl, usually he would just speed through stopping all the fires, but right now he was far to exhausted to stand.

He could feel the bones in him cracking under the normal night air, Tiger had done its damage to his body, Tora had to fight to take back control, and now he suffered the consequences. Laying next to his mask he smiled once again letting his words out for jessy to hear

I'm afraid this ones all up to you jessy, i wish i could help but im about as useful as a sack of potatoes over here.

He could sense her fear and her hesitance. This girl was unsure if she could accomplish the task in front of her, as she stood there tora let a smile come to his face just watching this girl he was kinda happy. as he tried to sit up, quite unsuccessfully i might add he let out another laugh at his own helplessness, letting his words flow out.

Jessy, i know you can do this one. Ya gotta have faith in yourself, your strong hell even i can tell that. Can you?

as he sat there eyes closed he awaited for her answer. Letting her actions speak louder than words.

She shook her head and turned towards the blaze, a determined look set in to her face. He was right, if she didn't do this, no one would. People would be killed when she could have saved them, and worse, she was here on business, not a fun trip.

"Alright, I'm going to give it a try."

She lifted one sword, slashing it in front of her. The large blast of air came out, just as strong as before, heading towards the flames. She swung her other sword, then back to her first, releasing one blast of air after another. As each blast hit the blaze it took some of the fire with it, reducing the flaming blaze little by little. Eventually, her arms dropped to her side, and as her body fell, totally drained of energy, the last of the flames was snuffed out by her last blast of air.

She lay still on the ground, her eyes closed, breathing heavily. She couldn't move her arms or her legs at all, but she somehow found the strength to open her mouth and ask what was on her mind.

"Did I do it? Is the fire gone?"

A Shining Moon

He forced his leg to stand, they were woobely and he could feel every single step he took as he looked upon the girl. she forced through the pain, pushing herself to save the lives of innocents. He smiled watching this girl stand there the wind flowing gently and serenely around her, how beautiful this night was. As the wind encompassed the flame it caged it making it die down. As she collapsed Tora tried to move and catch the girl before she feel.... but it was to no avail. As he moved the hole upon the side of his body opened gapping letting blood pour out, Tora quickly put his hand on the opening applying pressure to stop the bleeding. But then he heard it, even through this amazing feat she still managed to ask how she did. He looked shocked at this girl, she had put all of her effort in and still was going.... amazing

Yeah its out Jessy, you did great..... just great.

He brushed his long brown hair from his eyes looking at this building, the grin sat across his face as he let out a chuckle. It had been a long time since he was this happy. As he limped closer to her looking down towards the blonde hair girl he dropped into a sitting position next to her. Tora stared at the moon for several moments the thoughts racing through his head made him smile a little. He turned to the girl letting the word come from his mouth.

I'm glad i met you tonight ms Nessa. despite all of the madness this was .... fun. I ...... never mind

As he spoke he wavered off the thought he had and brought himself to and began to stand again. His arms lowered down one grabbing underneath Jessies head the other beneath her knees, lifting her up. as he stood there he managed another smile walking he over towards a bench and sitting her there to rest. As he gently placed her there lying across this bench he could tell his wound had opened again from the strain, but it didn't really bother him. He stood across from the girl letting her adjust so she wasn't on the cold hard ground. And of all the things to do Tora just stared at the moon

...... how beautiful.

She heard him tell her she had done it, and she relaxed herself, her mouth smiling. She didn't hear anything after that, she passed out, the strain of using her technique that many times finally overcoming her. It was unlikely she would wake up any time soon though, and her dreams turned to happier times, times of playful ignorance, joy and bliss.

A day later she would awake, her body stiff and painful to move. She didn't open her eyes immediately, but instead groped around, feeling out the area where she was. Wincing a bit, she slowly opened her mouth, her voice soft and weak as it came out.

"Hello? Can anyone hear me? Where am I?"

She shifted around, forcing herself to sit up, then moving her hands around to get a feel for whatever she had slept on. She thought back, finding it difficult because of the huge headache she had. She started to remember, bit by bit, the fight that had happened before she had collapsed and passed out. Her eyes flew open as she finally got back all of that memory, quickly looking around to figure out exactly what was going on.

A Shining Moon

As she awoke the morning light was radiating off the city lights. During the midst of the night Tora had moved the girl yet again placing her within a small house he knew ..... a place that was truly his. Outside the bustle of the street continued, Tora himself stood within the Kitchen he stirred his cup of coffee, it had been a days since the girl had passed out he brought her back her letting her sleep within the room as he continued his rounds for the corps. with a bit of a humph he leaned back within his chair looking through the large window out looking the city

Such a long night..

As he spoke he could here a voice coming from the room, as he rose he took his cup downing most of the liquid as he lent against the door looking at this girl. As he stood there he didn't speak he rather allow her to figure it out for herself. She squirmed a little before rising, after a little bit of sitting she seemed frantic looking around for ... something? It confused Tora but he didn't mind, at this moment he closed his eyes drinking from his cup. Around him lay the bandages from his own wounds, he of course healed a lot faster than this girl would thanks to tiger but it still pained a little as he shifted around.

Morning ms Nessa, how did you sleep..... any bad dreams?

He spoke casually to her but something was bugging him in the back of his mind. Perhaps it was the fact of fear from a girl that was so willing to chop through a army of hollows and what had caused it? Or maybe it was the crazy short amount of time it took her to recover..... this girl was something else that's for sure.

She relaxed as she noticed him, lying back down, her breathing a bit heavy.

"Thank you, and no, I didn't have any bad dreams."

She winced as she slowly lifted her hand so that she could look at it, seeing if there was any injuries. It hurt to move anything, and she hated the thought of having to lay here for another day or two while her body healed up enough to walk around easily.

"Great... looks like I'm not going to be walking around much for a while. Guess I healed up just enough to maintain consciousness, but my body is totally trashed still."

She looked over at them man, spotting the bandages, but it didn't seem to surprise or bother her. After looking at his face for a minute, she sighed and opened her mouth.

"Do you mind doing me a favor and letting me stay here for a couple of days or so? I can't got back to soul society like this, especially since they haven't recalled me yet..."

Her voice weakened, went silent, and then after taking a couple of deep breaths, she spoke another word.

"Please?"

Such A Long Night

Tora leaned against the door frame sipping his morning coffee. He couldn't help but look through the large window in front of him down to the city, what a wonderful view it was. It was times like this that brought the nostalgia back to him, even through the times he had withing the corps it never felt like home.... but here was different. Jessy continued to talk as she lay back down upon him entering the room. he could obviously tell from her wounds that, she may have been healing incredibly fast but she still had a ways to go. With a sigh he voiced his opinions as she finished her final sentence, even adding a please in to appeal to his "good nature"

Its obvious you will be indisposed for at least another day, your more then welcome to stay here. Hell I'm quite use to having "house guests" just make sure you get some rest.

As he turned he shared a little sympathetic smile, this girl was something else. But Tora couldn't think of that now. As his toast rose he went over collecting it, brushing a little butter onto it and adding it to the small breakfast platter he had created. As he brought it in he sat it upon Jessies lap. With a nod he turned to walk out of the room and prep for his day, but as he finished his coffee he turned letting his voice carry to this girl.

I may have to step out and do my rounds soon miss Nessa but i shall be back soon.

As he grabbed his jacked putting it on and brushing his hair back he took to the door. There was only one thing that stopped him though, something he forgot to mention.

Oh, Don't worry if you see some girl walking around that's just Sherri. If she asks, just tell her i said it was fine and you can use her room. She can have mine for the next few days.

She smiled and relaxed back on to the bed, relieved to have met such a nice person. She barely heard him tell her he was going out, and she was unconscious before he could warn her about Sherri. While she slept she had a dream, a haunting nightmare.

She was back in front of the rock throne in her inner world, the giant tiger that was her zanpaktou stood there, glaring down at her. It's growl came out, it's voice echoing through her mind.

"I gave you a second chance, and you have thrown it away! Time to pay the price for your arrogance girl! This one too many insults for me to handle, you die tonight to feed my pride!!!!"

The huge jaws shot towards her, swallowing her whole, and she fell, falling towards the darkness, pain shooting throughout her body. It was a few minutes before the dream changed, the pain subsiding for a few seconds as the surroundings changed. Now she was in her inner world, but this time a heavily forested section next to the stone thrones, but something was wrong. Black flames were eating at the trees, and her zanpaktou was nowhere to be seen. It was a few seconds before she herself was engulfed in these black flames, the pain of being burned shooting through her. She started screaming, the pain too much for her, she shouted out, pleading for her zanpaktou, but nothing changed, the flames burned hotter, the pain rose, and her world went black as she started falling again.

(OOC: adding Sherri to this thread, posting after this.)
