Another day in the Nexus. The Neutral zone had been blessed with a few days of warmer weather, turning the snow on the ground into slush. The warm weather had also drawn out some of the Nexus' more innocuous citizens; squirrels and birds.
This Ichigo, who had spent most of the winter cooped up in his house, was happy to be back outside. And while he can resist his Hollow instincts for the most part? Well, there's no harm in indulging his hunting instinct a little. It keeps his Inner Hollow happy.
And, though he'd never admit to it, it's kind of fun.
So that's what he's doing, in a sparsely wooded area pretty far away from most of the dwellings. He's been at it for a while, and he's had some success. There's a few red spots on the slush and neat little piles of feathers and fur. But there's been far more failures than successful captures.
And right now? Ichigo is stalking a squirrel who is eating something at the base of a tree. Ichigo is crouched nearby on all fours, eyes dilated and twitching his tail a bit like a cat. A burst of Sonído. Of course, the squirrel isn't totally stupid, and it hears the sound produced by the technique and it darts up the tree.
Resulting in Ichigo whacking his head, hard, on the base of the tree.
"... I... itai..."
To add insult to injury, as he lies there, the squirrel jumps down on to his head and scurries up a different tree, squealing and chirring at the Hollow angrily.
Squirrel: 1, Ichigo: 0
