God Yet Lives

"John, Senthose, Kujaku, Karasu, who I swear to be gay as well, and a few others, not including the Soul Reapers we know as well."

--

Sab let out a small chuckle at that, "It doesn't matter, you don't want me. Even if you could accept me, you really only like Mortal, I'd just be an extra."

*Taiyo rolls to the side and stands swinging her lance, sending a claw at the Hollow.*

*Claws burst from the ground & wrap around Taiyo.*
========================================
"It's not like that!"
========================================
E"Right. So, you gonna do it Lilith?"

L"...I don't need to be pitied."

"Pitied?"

--

"Don't yell at me!"

*Taiyo begins squirming trying to break free.*

L"I know you're doing this because I said I didn't want to go back to the Soul Society. I'm not stupid."
====================================
*She walks over, pinning Taiyo's forehead to the ground by means of her foot.*

<Well, well, well. Looks like I win. Do you want to know what's going on outside?>
====================================
"But it's true! You believe me, don't you?"

"Not a chance. Unaru Kitexi Neko!"

*Taiyo's entire body is enveloped in water. A light forms inside and the water soon explodes outwards revealing Taiyo wearing black short shorts with a blue green tiger print tail and a blue green sleeveless cropped top. On her hands are blue green tiger print paw-looking gloves and on her feet are matching booties. Both are used for offense. Multiple water droplets still reside on her body. One droplet on her shoulder extends taking the form of a spike, stabbing the Hollow in the leg.*

*The Hollow steps back, disinterested in the fact that she's bleeding.*

<Such a shame. Bankai.>

*A pillar of water with red light shooting through it envelopes the Hollow's body, hitting the roof & raining down to cover the basement floor in a thin layer. The Hollow's Bankai resembles Taiyo's, except with a red/orange coloration. Also, her leg has healed, her teeth are slightly sharper, & her eyes have a slight glow.*

<I thought you'd want to hear about how I just tore off that Arrancar's ugly tail!>

*Taiyo stands up, teeth bared and claws out. She flashsteps behind the Hollow, scratching up her back as water spikes lash out at her spine.*

*The water on the Hollow's back reverts to a dense structure covered in small pyramid shapes to avoid the impact. She flicks her head, the water droplets flying off of her hair turning into spikey blobs & lashing at her face.*

*Water droplets on Taiyo's face expand into plate-like squares to absorb the attack. Droplets on her midsection lash out, the ends blunt rather than than sharp to hammer the Hollow's armor.*

*The Hollow spins around. Instead of hitting her with water, she opens her mouth, firing a huge Cero at her.*

*The droplets on Taiyo's body all expand forming a full body wet suit (snicker). Afterwards a large number of spikes lash out from all over Taiyo's body.*

*Of course, the Cero evaporates a large portion of the water, leaving blotches of dry spots on Taiyo. The Hollow slips to the side, at one of these open spots, & slashes at her abdomen.*

*Taiyo catches the Hollow's arm, digging her claws into it and slashes at her face with her free hand.*

*The Hollow bites her arm & lashes out at Taiyo with spikes from her captured wrist & abdomen.*

*Taiyo blocks the spikes with an Enkosen and drags her claws from the Hollow's arm slashing her across the stomach.*

*With Taiyo's arm still in her mouth, the Hollow begins charging a Cero.*

*Taiyo claws the Hollow's throat.*

*The water around her neck forms thick rings, & none of this stops her from firing that Cero.*

Kira looked at Kite, then back to Aera and Iris.
"Listen, Arrancar, I am running out of patience. Either go back to Hueco Mundo now, or I will make you... Unless, of course, Kite has anything to say about it."

"I'd like that Astarte"

"So, do you want to take me to it?" Astarte asked, flicking her eyes from Yue to Senthose. "If you think it would have stuck around."

*Taiyo pulls her hand back and fires a Shakkahō in the Hollow's face.*

"Oh, I'm sure it has."
==============================
*After the Cero fires, Taiyo's arm is released. She can barely feel it & it's dripping blood in the water at an alarming rate, but it's released. Half of the Hollow's face is blistered, but she's otherwise unharmed. She touches the burn & screams, tears streaming down her face as she reaches for Taiyo's wounded arm with one claw & her throat with the other.*
