Chapter 8: Out of the Frying Pan
Rangiku's POV
This CANNOT be happening, and for a minute I wondered if what I was seeing before my eyes was a nightmare. But by looking at Gin's face when he said those fearful words, I knew that this was somehow all real.
Before our eyes, was a Hollow.
When I read the book Gin bought awhile back, I also read about heartless souls called ''Hollows'' who were former human souls who lived only to devour any other living or dead soul just to satisfy their own twisted appetite.
I also read that Hollows could only be dealt with in two ways. The first option was for a Shinigami to defeat the Hollow by ''purifying'' the cursed soul, transforming the Hollow into a normal human soul. The other option would be for a unique group of living humans called the Quincy to literally kill the Hollow.
The other thing she read was that Hollows usually only appear in the Human World, and rarely ever appear in Soul Society.
So why is a Hollow even here!
As I continued to look at the Hollow's masked face, I noticed it was standing still and staring at us. It was like the Hollow was a hunter staring at it's prey.
I finally managed to fearfully whispered, ''W-what s-should we do, G-Gin?''
Gin whispered, ''Stay perfectly still, Rangiku. Damn it, I wish I knew how to lower our spiritual energy.''
''Why?''
''I read that Hollows are less likely to notice ya if you keep your spiritual energy down as low as possible, but we would have to be Shinigami in order to learn how to do that.''
''Maybe we should have become Shinigami sooner...''
Gin's voice slightly raised into a slightly louder whisper. ''Don't talk like that, Rangiku! I promise, I will find a way out of this!''
Our attention was focused on the Hollow, who was still standing there perfectly still. If only there was one Shinigami close by, we would be safe. But pratically everyone was probably sleeping peacefully, unoblivious to this rare occurence of Hollows invading Soul Society!
The Hollow's spiritual energy was so dark and odious, I felt so weak near it! With his blue eyes opened, Gin just kept looking at the Hollow with an emotion I have never seen before. For the first time in my life, I saw that Gin was afraid.
I never saw Gin afraid before, and I always thought that Gin was just invincible, and that nothing can touch him. He protected and took care of me so well during our first year together, that I began to think of him as my personal invincible foundation. I thought that nothing can scare or harm Gin, no matter what. But after seeing the fearful look in Gin's eyes, I realise how wrong I was.
Just when I thought things could not get any worse, it did.
While we stood still wondering how we were going to escape from this nightmare, we hear ANOTHER roar from the opposite direction, which was toward our home.
We fearfully turned around to see something even worse, a second Hollow.
I finally was overtaken by fear, and I felt darkness completely overtaking my eyes.
Gin's POV
Shit, shit, shit! How can this be happening! Not only are there two Hollows surrounding us, but Rangiku passed out from fear and now she is unconscious!
Damn it, I promised I would protect her, but what can I do against two Hollows! I need to calm down, and think of a way out of this mess.
I picked up the unconscious Rangiku into my arms and began to look around at my surroundings.
Then I noticed a narrow and small alleyway between two nearby buildings. The alleyway was big enough for me and Rangiku to escape through, and the huge Hollows would never have a chance to catch us because the alleyway is so small.
In a mixture of fear and determination, I ran as fast I could to the alleyway while I carried Rangiku in my arms. By some miracle, the Hollows were so slow that we were already in the alleyway before they could even react!
As I continued running, I looked behind us and saw that the Hollows were trying to chase after us, but they were too huge to fit inside the small alleyway. A few minutes after that, I looked behind us again and I saw that the Hollows had completely dissappeared. I did not bother to think whether the Hollows had given up the chase or not, because my only thought right now was to run and protect my precious Ran-chan.
Because, I would sacrifice my life for her's if she was in danger of death.
I continued running while carrying Rangiku in my arms, even after exiting the alleyway. After running for what seemed like hours, I realised that we were on the outskirts of Rukongai and near a huge forest.
I began to realise that I have ran too far and was about to head back to Rukongai and possibly our home, when it dawned on me.
We were lost.
Fuck, how did such a wonderful day with Rangiku turned into one of the most hellish nights in existence! Despite us being lost, I dryly chuckled. I thought that I was such a worrywart. I thought that maybe we had escaped the nightmare and that we were now safe from the Hollows. I also thought that if we can escape the Hollows, we can somehow find our way home despite being lost.
Little did I know how wrong I was.
I debated on what to do. After contemplating, I came to the conclusion that we would have to wait until morning for us to find our way home. Which meant that we need to find a way to find a safe place around here to sleep.
I was beginning to think that perhaps we were finally going to be safe, but my answer came in a high-pitched and blood-curdling scream deep within the forest that scared me to death. The scream was not a Hollow's scream, but a soul's frightful scream. It sounded like someone was being eaten alive in that forest.
The scream seemed to had an effect on Rangiku, because she began to slowly regian consciousness.
''Gin...what was that?'', she asked with fear and drowsiness in her voice.
''Like hell I know what THAT was'', I said with my voice quavering in fear.
I put Rangiku down, and her voice lost her drowsiness, but fear was still in her voice.
''Where are we?''
''I don't know, we managed to escape from those Hollows. But I ran so far that...we are lost.
''What?''
I could now sense emotion in her voice, was it anger?
''You mean to tell me that after all this, we are LOST!''
Oh crap, tonight just wasn't my night.
''But, Rangiku I-.''
''Don't you BUT me! You basically ran so far away to where we are in the middle of nowhere and that scream convinced me that there's something dangerous near us. Why, it sounded like it came from that direction-.''
Rangiku froze, and then her face ceased showing anger and began to show pure fright. This was the first time I have ever seen Rangiku this fearful. Even when she has been afraid before, she NEVER looked this terrified. I realised that she had not looked at the forest until now, and then it dawned on me.
It was the forest that was making Rangiku so terrified.
''Rangiku,'' I softly asked, ''What is this forest?''
''I am sorry I yelled at you, Gin. But you took us to the most hellish place near Rukongai.''
I did not like where this was going, and now I also felt fear growing inside of me.
''What...is this forest?''
For a long moment, Rangiku just stood there in silence. Then she finally answered.
''This is the Nakushita* Forest, it is rumored to be haunted. Rumors have spread that everyone who has journeyed into that cursed forest is eaten alive by an unknown monstrous being. Some call this being a demon, some call it an insane Shinigami who thirsts for blood, and some even say it is a powerful Hollow; but one thing is for certain...''
My eyes widened in fear.
''Everyone who has journeyed into this forest never returns, their fate unknown.''
Then I realised we have walked out of the frying pan and into the fire.
