Getting his jacket on silently as he walked to the door of his apartment Renda paused, thinking to himself, 'just going for a walk would be ... boring.' Returning to his main room he retrieved a small Aikuchi. His sealed Zanpakuto, Kitsune. With this he set out locking his door behind him. Stuffing his hands in his pockets Renda walked in the direction of Tsubakidai Park. It was not far, he just had to cross the river and he was pretty much there...
The day had been very uneventful and flat out BORING. Nothing exiting happened at the high school today, no visitors at his apartment. Nothing. it was one of those days that made Renda feel as if he were just a mindless drone moving about the day in the same path he had walked the day before. the human world could be so monotonous. It made Renda long for SOMETHING to happen...
The last few people were leaving as Renda had entered the park carrying his Zanpakuto tucked in is jacket. methodically Renda made his way through the park, preparing him self for what was to come. Now, close to midnight, Renda stood in the center of it all, all alone except for the nocturnal critters scurrying about. The park is so boring at night, but it was a bout to get a lot more interesting around here. Renda kneeled upon the cool grass, tapping his left forefinger on his knee, and keeping rhythm to the tapping of his finger, he released build up shock waves of spiritual pressure, a beacon To those who could hear it, the sound of the Reiatsu blasting from him would sound like a war drum.
tap....................tap....................tap....................tap....................tap...............
Renda smiled as he heard quit a large number of hollows coming from every direction, howled in the distance. Now that he had their attention he would slow the tempo down gradually to make it appear that he was running from the hollows who would, being STUPID give chase and come running to join Renda's little game...
It had been quite some time since he had this many hollows answer his call. And if shinigami came? ha! let them, they can join in the hunt and before the last hollow is dead Renda would just slip away into the night.
The smile on his face grew as even more hollows howled and joined the "chase. This was going to be and exciting night...

Hitsugaya was having another peaceful sunset near the river before his phone had gone off again with a few blips. He grumbled to himself slightly as he wihdrew the phone from his pocket and flipped the tab open. His eyes slightly widened as he looked at the vast amount of red dots converging on...Tsubakidai park? What was going on now? Was his phone broken again? He couldn't trust it, not after having it malfunction before when he was with the girl Sakura. He decided to calm himself down as he placed the phone back into its proper place.
He closed his eyes and simply concentrated. While he could still feel spiritual pressure and energies while in his Gigai, it was no where near as well if he had been out of it. He pinpointed a repeated pulse of reiatsu coming from the park now. There were other faint thumps as well, however this must have been the hollows. His phone hadn't lied after all. He gritted his teeth slightly as he quickly dispatched himself from his Gigai and set off towards Tsubakidai Park.
He easily flash stepped most of the way, careful to hide his reiatsu as best he could. He soon emerged at the park and noticed another figure already there. Was this person the cause of the hollows? Was he a hollow himself? His spiritual pressure was rather impressive. Hitsugaya ran the ideas through his head once more. Perhaps...an Arrancar? No...no...couldn't be. Hitsugaya took it upon himself to stop this gathering immediatly and blurred himself out of view. In moments, he appeared behind the figure with his Zanpakuto drawn. His trust worthy Hyorinmaru in his hands.
"Stop this nonsense immediatly." Hitsugaya threatened with his blade drawn, ready to strike. He had no clue who this was, but intended to find out.

"Stop this nonsense immediately."
Renda opened his eyes to see who had spoken. he had hoped the hollow's would have gotten there first but no matter. The person before him was a rather short shinigami with white hair. Renda recognized him mediately from when he lived in soul society as a shinigami. This was Toshiro Hitsugaya, tenth squad captain. Rising to his feet, dusting himself off he spoke,
"your too late, it's already started..."
drawing his own Zanpakuto Renda stopped the surges of Reiatsu, and stopped suppressing the form of his Zanpakuto until it was a normal katana size again.
"Tell me Taichou,... can you keep up?"
At that moment hundreds of hollows swarmed upon the park rushing the two standing in the park. This is what Renda had been waiting for, he flash stepped with immense speed into the frey in the opposite direction of the captain, slicing through anything that got in his way, his sword cutting like a hot knife through butter. Hollows of various caliber flocked to their "prey," all fell before Renda's blade. One hollow, stronger than the others in comparison rushed in only to be stopped with one bare hand on it's forehead. Renda laughing wildly, crushed it's entire head and moved on to the next hollow. Wave after wave of hollows swarmed into the park, Addressing Toshiro Renda laughed again and Shouted,
"Hey! Taichou! Are you enjoying yourself?!?"

"your too late, it's already started..."
Hitsugaya narrowed his eyes on the figure as he spoke. He appeared to be...a Shinigami? Or was this an Arrancar trick? He watched as the figure drew out a Zanpakuto which lengthened into a larger katana. Who was this guy? Hitsugaya stood with Zanpakuto ready as he heard the screech of hollows approaching. He turned around to see a swarm of them assault the park.
"Tell me Taichou,... can you keep up?"
He gritted his teeth at the figure's comment as he thrust into battle himself. Surging forward, Hitsugaya swiftly brought his blade to bear against the swarm of hollows. Each swing easily felled one if not two of the beasts. Who was this guy? Hitsugaya continued to question this himself as he cut through the hollows. He blurred himself in a flash step, cutting across an entire score of hollows who were un lucky enough to line up so neatly.
"Identify yourself! What division are you from?" Hitsugaya yelled over the howls of the hollows. He needed to find out who this was. Was he a Soul Reaper? An Arrancar? He couldn't tell, although his intuition told him he was perhaps a rogue Shinigami. Thrusting his blade clean through yet another hollow, Hitsugaya continued to slice through the sea of black bodies. He started to gain on the mysterious figure.
"Hey! Taichou! Are you enjoying yourself?!?"
He couldn't help but attempt to swing his sword to bear at this figure. It annoyed him quite so that he invoked the swarm of hollows. If he was a Soul Reaper sent here, he easily should've been informed of the situation. Why here, why now?

"Identify yourself! What division are you from?"
Renda laughed as he heard the frustration in the well known captain's demand. Of course he wouldn't know who he was, the incident had happened before Toshiro had returned to the position of captain, and was kept secret so well of course...
The number of hollows was quickly dwindling, it was time to use 'that' if he was going to make a clean escape, almost in an inaudible level Renda spoke,
"Whisper."
Then, answering his partner in this bloody dance of eradication, Renda shouted back to the captain in a slight tone of arrogance,
"Me? I am the would-be 8th division Taicho!.... if it weren't for this!"
and without a motion a mask resembling the face of a fox formed over Renda's face, glistening in the moon light white with blood red marks upon it. With a cry of fury and a great bust of speed Renda seemed to be a blur,every where at once, stopping roughly 20 yards in front of the captain. All the remaining hollows came to a stand still, then in almost simultaneously their masks split in two and their bodies faded away, leaving Renda and Toshiro facing each other...
"Tell me Taicho,...why are my kind shunned? could soul society not use the unique skills and talents of the vizards?"
Renda stared at the shinigami across from him with his now bright red eyes, searching for a hint of what movement this possible opponent would make.

Hitsugaya began to grow impatient with this man. The Hollows were beggining to thin out to the point where Hitsugaya had a clear line of sight to the man. He seemed to be mocking him...a Taichou of the Gotei 13! Was he that confident in his abilities? He watched as his lips moved silently before he began to speak out openly.
"Me? I am the would-be 8th division Taicho!.... if it weren't for this!"
Hitsugaya's eyes widened as he watched the familiar white particles form over the figure's face. A hollow mask appeared as his eyes glistened a deep red. Hitsugaya stood still as he watched the figure flash step around, annihilating the rest of the Hollows present. Hitsugaya studied the figure as he stopped in front of him. Now he knew what this figure was...he was a Vizard!
"Tell me Taicho,...why are my kind shunned? could soul society not use the unique skills and talents of the vizards?"
"So...you're a Vizard huh? What's your purpose then! Speak or I Taichou Hitsugaya will restrain you and return you to Soul Society for questioning!" Hitsugaya was prepared for a fight, he researched Vizards before. They grew increasingly powerful once they donned their Hollow mask. The odd thing about Vizards is that they aren't actual Hollows or Arrancar. They are a strange race indeed. The truth was that Vizards aren't very accepted since they have Hollow-esque powers.
"Set upon the frosted heavens, Hyorinmaru !" Hitsugaya released a built up amount of reiatsu as shockwaves burst from his position. His coat wavered wildly in the wake of the energy before finally coming to rest. His shikai was now released. He was ready to fight if thats what it came down to. He had to protect the town and its inhabitants.

"So...you're a Vizard huh? What's your purpose then! Speak or I Taichou Hitsugaya will restrain you and return you to Soul Society for questioning!"
Renda chuckled now, not only his own voice was heard, but that of another, a more sinister voice.
"purpose? i have no purpose any more. once i was like you, following orders and scurrying about. i did not ask for these powers, but i have excepted them now for they are a part of me."
Renda now fully releasing his hollow mask gained a gauntlet on his right arm, spikes protruding from the knuckles, it matched the mask he had already donned. with this release Renda slid the mask half off with his changed hand, lengthened nails resembling claws clicked on the mask as he grasped, he reveled part of his twisted face, his teeth sharper his nose wrinkled, a more canine look to him now.
"and captain, as far as restraining me goes,... you wouldn't be able to now, no matter how hard you try..."
Renda slid the mask back into place as the shinigami before him released his Zanpakuto. A blast of reiatsu flooded from the captain, Renda seemed unmoved by the thickening feeling in the air.
"impressive, but what i would expect from a captain..."
then in a hushed voice Renda spoke to his Zanpaukto,
"Silently to the prey... Kitsune."
the shape of his sword curved and grew slightly thicker, its color changing into a deep red, almost black but with a shimmer of violet. The guard shrank then blossomed and grew into a lotus, red in the center fading to black at the tips of the petals. finally the edge of the sword turned a pure white, still retaining its shimmer of violet. As the lotus began to glow Renda's spiritual pressure seemed to start fading away, his released reiatsu being absorbed by the blossom.
"The choice is yours, my dear Taichou,.. What will your next move be?"

"purpose? i have no purpose any more. once i was like you, following orders and scurrying about. i did not ask for these powers, but i have excepted them now for they are a part of me."
Hitsugaya ran his words though his head, trying to decipher what this figure was talking about. Was he an aspiring Captain perhaps? What could've triggered his Hollow powers to consume him? Perhaps he had met this former Shinigami...but then again, Hitsugaya couldn't place his now distorted face.
"and captain, as far as restraining me goes,... you wouldn't be able to now, no matter how hard you try..."
'We'll see about that' he thought to himself. Obviously the man was quite confident in his abilities and if he had almost achieved Captain rank, then he must have incredible power to rival his own. Perhaps even more so since he was a Vizard.
"impressive, but what i would expect from a captain..."
He seemed a little bit to confident in his own abilities, however Hitsugaya hadn't a clue what to expect fully from a Vizard. He had read stories and heard them, but encounter one in person? That was something different. He wondered if his Shikai would be enough to defeat him.
"The choice is yours, my dear Taichou,.. What will your next move be?"
"Tch" He simply didn't have time to exchance words anymore with this Vizard. He rushed towards him head on slicing downwards with his Zanpakuto. A wave of ice whirled out as the shape of the dragon Hyorinmaru took form, thrusting its icy shape towards the Vizard.

the attack barreled down upon Renda, then ran through him. he didn't even make a move to dodge it. his mask disapered as he fell to his knees, his hair falling in front of his face. blood poured from Renda's mouth and from the wound. for a moment all was still, the thud of Renda falling echoed through the desolate park...
Renda watched the series of events safely from his apartment window. His illusion had been shattered, he was sure of it, there was no way the captain could have not noticed this wasn't real... might as well have some fun with it now.
the 'body' before the captain started convulsing, the blood running back up into his mouth,
"Tsk, Tsk, you shinigami are all the same."
It stood up unnaturally, head hanging limp, the wound beginning to heal it's self.
"Rushing into things head first,.. did i do anything to deserve this?"

Hitsugaya felt his blade pierce through flesh, however the figure didn't make the normal eye bulging convulsions or notable faces when stabbed. He realized right then it was a trick, a doll. He watched slightly in horror as the blood that had dripped from the mouth began to pour backwards into the body, almost like if one pressed the re-wind button on a tape.
It also appeared that he was much more capable and clever than he first though. To use a decoy and find out the potential of an enemy? Truly quite brilliant, except Hitsugaya hadn't even used his Bankai yet, not that he needed to but would keep it in the back of his mind just in case things went awry.
"Tsk, Tsk, you shinigami are all the same."
Hitsugaya drews his blade to his side as he watched the ice form over the blood on the sword before crystalizing and breaking off. Brining his blade up once more in a more defensive position he watched as the zombie-like body began to taunt him almost.
"Rushing into things head first,.. did i do anything to deserve this?"
"Its quite apparent you aren't the host. What exactly do you want? I don't have time for games from a Vizard." Hitsugaya began to grow impatient with the man's apparent tinkering and mocking of him. It was almost as if it was a game for him. A game he would regret if he didn't start answering questions.

"host? because i am a vizard i am a parasite?, no this is not a 'host', what exists before you does not exist at all...I'd explain its intricity but it would not be to my advantage, and i doubt you would understand anyway."
the image before the captain dropped to the ground sitting Indian style, elbow upon it's knee, head resting on its cheek.
"host! how insulting..." it grumbled completely ignoring the captain, talking to it's self "this is becoming quite dull, mabey more hollows would bring back some excitement...no i don't have enough energy for that, ..and I'm not even here...then what to do about this rude captain?...perhaps..."
