Corruption

Sorry I could not wait for Ujikiyo

Toshiro Immediately knew the answer to his riddle. The sands of a vast desert shifted and swirled in the wind all the time, and it is a common fact that they swallow whole cities over time. The only place to find water in a desert is an oasis, but that is rare.

Right now he was in a desert, Hueco Mundo. The next clue had to be there, somewhere in the shifting sands. The question was how would he get there safely? He was beginning to distrust himself. Being away from Hyourinmaru caused a change. Something was taking over, and he was afraid to find out what.

He remained to the dark corner of his room trying to come up with a way to leave without killing anyone. His desire to devour had become insatiable since he had not slept in days. The strange reitsu around him pulsed chaotically. He was scared of what he might be turning into.

Kita was fast asleep in her bed Mr. Topps asleep at her side. For once in along while she was resting soundly when out of nowhere a pop echoed through her room. Mr. Topps quickly got to all fours and was growling in the direction the sound came from. Kita was sitting up looking that way as well when she watched a hole appear in her wall. However, the hole was not leading out into the hall by her room. She noticed a familiar dent that was placed in one of the walls in that hall by none other then her favorite Espada Nnoitra.

She lifted from the bed walking toward the hole. She thought for sure she was dreaming, but was proven so very wrong when Mr. Topps clawed her drawing blood. She knelt down beside him and patted his head.

“I will be alright. Don’t worry I promise I will come back for you.”

Kita quickly stood and moved closer to the hole. Mr. Topps just stayed where he was as he watched her step through. The hole quickly closed behind her. Only in the other hall Kita could feel that same reiatsu she felt days before. Walking toward the source, it brought her to a closed door. She placed her hand to the knob and knocked softly at the door, turning the knob and slowly pushing the door open. There in the dark corner she could see a figure. It looked up at her the eyes glowing a blood red from the little light that crept into the room from the hall.

"No! Go away!" Toshiro shouted out of fear for the girl. But before he could do anything he felt his body lunge at the girl. He grabbed her by the throat and began to squeeze tightly, consequently shutting the door behind her plunging the two back into darkness.

Kita grabbed at his hand around her throat and went to draw her zanpakuto. “Crap! I forgot it was gone!” She spoke to herself. She quickly brought her elbow down on his shoulder causing him to release her. She coughed a few times holding her throat.

“Who,” she coughed again, “are you?” she watched him carefully from the corner of her eyes ready to move at any second if he came at her again.

Toshiro landed hard on his knees and gripped his head trying to regain control with no avail. He grabbed her wrist and swung her against the next wall, only the red gleam from his eyes were visible in the darkness.
