Mice
Chapter 1

This is a story about a snake and a cat.

I would get into the connection and put some philosophical reference of love…but, there isn't another way.

I guess…we should just leave it at mice.

1:46 AM.

Yoruichi tumbled to the ground, her orange top tainted with blood and dust.

"Hehe…" laughed the Hollow, "You're a tough one. I don't think I've met anyone who's stayed alive as long as you have."

Yoruichi smirked as she slowly climbed back onto her feet.

"That's funny. I don't think I've met a Hollow who's stayed alive as long as you have either."

Yoruichi wiped away the blood that was trickling out of her mouth. She took one last glance at the Hollow, and disappeared.

The Hollow screamed and crumpled to the ground as it watched the fragments of its mask fall to the ground. It slowly looked upward, its face hidden in shadows, smiling.

"Flash Step? Haha…you think that that can bring me down?"

Yoruichi charged toward the Hollow's skull until it suddenly lashed out, catching her foot. Chuckling, the Hollow slammed Yoruichi onto the pavement. When the dust cleared, Yoruichi was lying in the middle of a small crater, heavily bruised. A pool of blood was seeping from Yoruichi's back, slipping between the chunks of debris.

The Hollow burst out laughing, "Even you can't handle my strength!"

Yoruichi could feel her eyelids getting heavy.

Her vision blurred and swayed until she saw only dark, blood-red and heard only the cackling of the Hollow.

"Run…" Yoruichi told herself, "I have to run…"

The last thing she saw was a flash of white…and then everything went black.

1:58 P.M.
