Bleach: Crysanthemum

The hammerhead called Karraka jumped out of the whitish sand and landed lightly on the ground a little bit further away from the wolf that was already looking at him with a sharp gaze.

"Ah, you noticed me, huh? Well then. That will make things easier. Hello, there, young blood. My name is Karraka and am a Conquista from a region close by."

"Conquista? Why would a lordling like yourself come here personally?", answered the wolf back and placed its head on its forepaws while relaxing a little bit. Conquista was a rank given to certain Adjucha that had a fellowship under them and controlled a certain area. Some of them even were under the rule of a Vasto Lord.

"Hmm, you seem to know about us? Smart fella. Then you should know that as a new Hollow you have to abide by the hierarchy of power. And the regional lord where you are hunting has noticed you. The lucky thing for you is that both he and I have decided to give you a chance of proving yourself to us." Karraka narrowed its eyes and the shine in them lowered.

It looked the same as if someone made an overly friendly face and half-closed their eyes like a human. But it was of course a sign of scheming with that overly friendly behavior. They were both Hollows after all. Creatures of only one dėsɨrė. The path for power and dominance.

"And why should I fulfill your petty wishes? I could as well just get rid of you and be done with this farce.", snorted the wolf. The arrogance in those words could literally be felt.

That comment ticked the hammerhead off immensely. "You actually dare!! Who do you little pup even think you are!?" The hammerhead's spiritual pressure erupted into the surroundings and made the environment shake.

The wolf didn't even budge when that happened and only narrowed his own eyes.

Starting to laugh the hammerhead became overconfident. He could see the wolf not moving. he thought that this little mutt actually was not all that powerful as the rumors had him believe.

Now he even had the great idea of slaughtering this new Adjuchas.

"You know what? I think I have overestimated you. A mutt like you should get shown his place. I guess I will just get rid of you then if you don't want to follow orders." The hammerhead hardened its finlike arms with Hierro. It was a technique that only the most experienced Adjuchas knew.

But contrary to Karraka's expectations the wolf suddenly moved and vanished from his viewpoint.

The only difference was that this time the wolf had a piece of Karraka in his mouth - his left arm.

The wolf let go of the darkish arm that slowly went back to its original state of blue and looked at the hammerhead with contempt. "I will only let you live once for your aggression. Get out of my sight before I kill you."

Karraka yelled out in pain and clutched his missing arm in pain with the still functional one. Then looking at the wolf and feeling the spiritual pressure emitted by him the hammerhead suddenly became struck by fear. "This...no...This cant be! I was wrong! Please don't kill me!"

"I said GET LOST!!" The wolf growled sharply and clear anger could be heard from him voice now.

The hammerhead quickly moved away and retreated.

Seeing how the hostile being left, the wolf snorted and then looked in another direction.

"So you wanted to get rid of me, is it? The highest presences I feel are in that direction. Those should be his little friends. Since you want to play this little game of yours I will gladly show you what our difference in power is. I guess it is time I took over for the good of our species.", said the wolf and then jumped from the rock only to charge away into the distance.

Running on the sand dunes at extreme speeds even twirled the sand up behind him. The hollows that saw this from afar were rather curious about what exactly is going on there but stood away when recognizing the wolf.

Karraka on the other hand was breathing heavily after he came to a safe place.

"Damn it! I should have gone with the plan and lured him to the others. You damn bastard! I will make sure you will suffer for my humiliation!", screamed Karraka an let his pressure rumble the surrounding in anger.

Then suddenly without him noticing it another voice appeared from the side. "Oh my, what could be so important for you to be so angry? Maybe I can help you out with your dėsɨrė?"

Karraka looked to the side with gritting teeth ready to go taking a chomp at the being asking that stupid question.

But when he saw the person he stopped in his tracks. "Shinigami!? How in the...?"

-----

"How long is that dumb idiot taking now?", Sarrmon sighed. "Don't tell me that bastard is trying to ambush me?" Just when he thought that a figure came charging right in his direction.

The figure stopped a few meters away from him.

Sarrmon and his little army of different Hollows stared at the being.

"So you really came. But I cant see Karraka." The ape looked around. "I can still feel his presence but its weaker."

Then a histerical laughter started. "Hahaha, that fool got his ȧss handed to him. Good, then come. Still, I will ignore that blunder. I will show you who you need to face to get my approval.", explained Sarrmon.

"No, I am here for you. And by the looks, I guess I will have to make your punishment, eternal death.", said the wolf when looking at all the other hollows surrounding that one guy.

Not taking any more time he charged right at the monkey.

Sarrmon evaded the attack from the wolf's claws and landed on another save spot.

"Fast one, arent you? So you beating Karraka was actually no fluke. But why let him life? How unfortunate. Now I have to take care of you. And later I will have all those weaklings in his territory as well."

"You talk big, monkey.", said the wolf and walked around his prey.

Sarrmon smirked at the wolf. "Don't think it will be as easy with me...The names Sarrmon. Dont tell me you dont got one?"

The wolf snorted "The name's Aarudo, it will be the last thing you will hear." When he said those words all the flesh and dead Hollow suddenly fell to the ground that he cut up from the other charge.

"I would not have it any other way. Where would be the fun in that.", smirked Sarrmon. "Let us dance!"
