Karakura Highschool Rooftop

Mira sighed, it appeared she wasn't going to get any alone time with Akane today. Or at this rate ever again. She sat back down and looked up at the sky, sighing, this night was getting too complicated.

"Mira Chido, Rogue Vizard, at your service."

Mira stretched and sighed again, humming a tune to herself.

*She leaned against a wall with her arms now crossed and looked up at the sky also. It was sort of as if fate had brought them all here together. Maybe they would always be connected now through the moon somehow.. Mentally slapping herself she snorted and wondered where the hell that thought had come from. Surely they were meant to be Mira’s enemies and it was also likely that she and this Laurus would have to fight in the future. One would never know.

One look towards Mira made Akane though realize that she wouldn’t be her enemy unless ordered so by Aizen-sama or some other that would be her leader. As that thought ran through her mind, she walked over to Mira and sheathed her Zanpakuto again.

Letting her body slide down the wall and sitting next to Mira, she placed her head on her shoulder and then let her eyes wander to the moon. If they would have to fight in the future then she at least wanted to have this moment for themselves and this new guy that would maybe make his way into their lives also. Nothing was really impossible at this point*

Mira kept looking at the sky, but was amazed when Akane sat down next to her. Her face flushed, blushing brightly when akane laid her head on Mira's shoulder. It was something she had not expected. Mira laid her head on Akanes, holding them close as she looked up at the sky with her, watching Laurus Spiritual pressure, Making sure that he wouldn't make any sort of hostile gesture. She was happy she this moment of peace with Akane. A moment to relax and have a nice moment, too bad Laurus was here, perhaps it could have gone into a diffrent path.

Akane herself didn’t really realize what she was thinking, but this did feel really right somehow. Although she was seen by most as an arrancar, a killing machine, then it didn’t mean she had to act the way people expected her to.

Looking at Laurus she smiled and nodded, he also didn’t seem to be acting like people expected and that made her feel like wanting to become friends with him somehow

You can ask whatever you like, this evening is a one of a kind so let’s not make it go to waste

As she said that, she very slowly and hesitantly took Mira’s hand in her own and squeezed it lightly. Would this rogue vizard be the one to help her escape her own prison? Would somehow this arrancar that stood in front of them also help her in puzzling her new life together?

Mira blushed and looked at Akane. Mira couldn't take the blush of her face, no matter how hard she tried, especially after Akane grabbed Mira by the hand, and squeezed it. There hands held together. Mira smiled at her, and thought. What was happening, she was falling in love with an arrancar. But, she didn't care. If she got in trouble for it, she would just break the laws of whatever world she had to. There was no way she could do any harm to this arrancar. No way at all, she was in love with her.

*she took a moment to answer, looking down at her hand that was connected with Mira's and the warmth that came from it, before turning her eyes on Peracto again*

I think we are what we decide ourselves to become, Laurus. Almost all see us as monsters and therefore think that it's impossible for us to be anything else. That´s probably why most turn out like they do, because they simply think ,,why then disappoint them". I would like to look at myself as something more....improved than a monster. I have my role to destroy peace, but do I do it? Not if I have the chance not to.

But the question about if we are still humans... well yes to a certain degree... what makes us then still slightly human would be our memories of the human life, and perhaps then we try to live a little according to those memories.

*she thought a little to herself before giving him a small, fox-like grin*

well that's just my silly thoughts! What do you think?

*She looked after Mira as she left, the kiss on her forehead felt like it was on fire. Why did she have this strange and suffocating feeling that something bad was about to happen...
Turning her attention to Laurus again her smile was now slightly pained and her eyes turned a little dark*

I do of course not mind your company, seeing that we share the same fate, Laurus. But as to answer your question... then I am afraid that if that would be Aizen sama´s orders, then there wouldn´t be much that I could do to fight it. Although I would still try...

*She looked at him with a questionable gaze as if waiting for his own answer.*

Akane didn't seem to flicker even an eyelash at his response, she simply nodded and her smile grew a little wider

When that does happen I shall look you up and see what your life has to offer. Perhaps you will then not be alone in fleeing from Aizen sama.

When he asked the later question she closed her eyes for the split of a second and then returned her gaze to the moon that was so beautiful, she wished she could reach it and tell it all her thoughts

I believe you would be able to do it if you would want it enough. Then the question is simply, do you want it enough? Would you be willing to sacrifice your life in Hueco Mundo for the unstable life here?

Her tone was not harsh, it was more as if she was seeking advice herself from her questions. She needed to know his answer as if she was trying to decide herself if it would be worth to flee from the arrancar life?

(a few houers later after the Grimmjow and Byakuya incident,
another gargantua ripped open here high above the highschool yard)



.... the dark figure raised his eyebrown a bit and glanced down at the students, he could easily locate any arrancars around, there where two arrancars accompanied here one was Ulquiorra and the latter was Yammy both high ranked within the arrancar society, Ulquiorra kept his reitsu in check while Yammy let it flood out like a tidal wave in the middle-east he obviously could not hold back and glared down at the arrancars we came to get ya!! little whimper snappers ulquorras eyes followed the happenings from a background and didnt move an inch since he entered past the gate, he simply held his arms in his pockets, and simply waited and for an obvious reaction from the arrancars before setting his eyes on the red headed arrancar, his calm expression didnt flicker a bit not even with yammy`s bursting reitsu and un expressed words that could not reach him in anyway, all together it seemed that Aizen wanted his precious pets back to Hueco mundo and there was no saying how this would end.

what went trough the thick headed espadas mind? he was a total fool the last thing Ulquiorra wanted was a crowd of shinigami all around here, Ulquiorra however didnt even blink an eye at this Hey!! you thick heads Aiz... before Yammy could finish the centence Ulquiorra sonidoed in front of Yammy and punted him back a bit with one arm Silence...

Yammys expression was speeckless literally, he glared at Ulquiorra quietly, Ulquiorra shifted his eyes at the two arrancars Come with me Arrancars... you dont belong here...

yes will be the next word you speak...

dont ask questions...

dont say a word...

you have no rights and no opinions...

i hope you two understand...

we are not negotiating...

i`m giving you an order...

Aizen-sama wants you back home safe and sound...

im saying it one more time...

come with me... Arrancars

with no expression or what so ever Ulquiorra speaks whats in his mind and his orders directly from Aizen himself, he keeps his calm and his arms in his pockets, glancing down at there every move, he lowers himself down to the floor, as yammy follows him from behind.

*Akane's head snapped to the direction of the 2 Espada's that had appeared. Their spiritual sense was magnificent and she stood quickly up and bowed for them to show her respect. And yet....she was slightly bothered by the fact that they had come here to get them personally, was something about to happen? She wasn´t sure of their names so she simply said what she thought was most appropriate*

Of course Espada-sama´s.

*Her glance went over to Laurus as she made her way to the 2 Espadas and stood now slightly to the side of them, she wondered if he was going to protest this and she hoped not. He would definetly get killed immidiately*

Ulquiorra watched the red headed woman`s reaction he didn`t ingnore it but he also didnt react to it, Yammy Glanced at her and was probably going to say something out of his tongue but decided not to, then Ulquiorra glanced at Laurus as if waiting for his answer...

he closed his eyes for a second or two before looking around the School yard as if something would come up in his mind from the past of shrouded memories, but he quickly sorted them out and continued to glance at the other arrancars whatever went trough his head about the human world was now gone, his cold eyes stood still and didnt flicker for an second still he turned around and walked past Yammy and stood there for a while...

Yammy then could possibly not hold himself any longer, he first poked in his nose a bit disgusting it was i cant belive this is why we came here Ulquiorra a few puny arrancars!!

Ulquiorra glanced over his shoulder at yammy and the others orders are orders... Yammy sighed and groaned a bit but still i mean could Aizen not have picked anyone else?!? .... you Question Aizen-sama`s decisions?, your the lowest espada and i came along to make sure you follow those orders... i see... Yammy laughed a bit as if he understood everything in which he didnt for sure, Ulquiorra still awaited the arrancars responce, he pulled his right arm out of his pocket and flicked his arm in the air opening an garganta, it seemed so simple and elegant, with one swing he put his arm back into the pocket

Laurus and Akane stepped in together with Yammy, However Ulquiorra left outside he still had something to do in the human world, the portal closed right before him and he turned around and glanced at the city, his pupils flickered from one side to another and examening the world in which he was feeling a bit better now, he though for himself there was still job to be done and sonidoed to where a very familiar reitsu could be felt...

Ulquiorra was certain that "she" would return by now to Hueco Mundo

[portal exits to The Throne of Aizen]

"So that's an Espada...?"

From her position behind one of the rooftop pillars, Makoto had gone unseen. How curious... One of her own kind had been associating with the arrancar, and then prudently departed before the arrival of the opposition's leaders. The 'innocent passerby's' forehead creased thoughtfully as she contemplated the potential reasoning for this. She had called herself a rogue... Yet, for the Vizard, there was no such thing.

The Masked Ones chose their own paths, and walked them alone, no matter the company they kept. Then why...? The only reasonable assertion she could make was that this "rogue" had been trying to secret away the power of the Arrancar. Yes... That made sense, and also explained the arrival and stern-handed approach of the Espada. They were there to prevent such an occurence, and she'd cleverly evaded their grasping hands.

"Smart girl..."

She observed aloud as she stepped out into the open of the rooftop, suppressing a shiver caused from a sinking certainty that the Vizard were out of their league here. Even the lesser one (At least, she assumed that the loud mouthed braggart was the lesser) seemed to bear truly awe-inspiring power.

A stiff breeze swept in as she thought, whipping her hair wildly around her; it was like some actress in preparation for a heart-stirring monologue, she thought with a morbid grin. Even her clothing, from the flippantly chosen "You brought a knife, I brought a gun. I went to the hospital, you went to the morgue" T-shirt to the purple ribbons she had tied about her wrists that morning (for a 'feminine touch', no less) fluttered about of it's own accord in that momentary, stubborn gale as she sheltered her eyes with her arm.

Completely out of the blue, the lone figure remaining on the rooftops began giggling in a self-deprecating manner. Shaking her head, she looked out over the city with the eyes of a child that had ran away from home and come to regret it. Sighing, she mused aloud on her thoughts, and how she might approach the upcoming events.

"I wonder how the others are doing, after all this time. I must be getting sentimental in my old age, Sensei. I miss you... No. That's a child's way of looking at things. I miss the old days, when things were black and white. Still, this looks like war... Perhaps I should stop by for a visit after all."

Having finished her speech to the uncaring winds, she waited a moment longer for them to die down before disappearing with a slight static echo - She had never quite managed to do it like the Shinigami had, and it didn't bother her in the slightest. Against a power like that... Like the Espada, or the senior Vizard - The kind of power only the castoffs could truly have - the Shinigami and their Gotei 13 were a pack of squabbling children playing at gods.

two high spirited arrancars sonido here, beliving they could be away from trouble since they dont want to encounter any foes Ulquiorra looks at halibel and she points her arm into the sky, they both dont make a single notice of the other beings arround not because they havent detected them but because they simply dont care in a single flash halibel sends a powerful surge of reitsu trough the whole area

* Pesquisa (探査回路, lit. "inquiry circuit;" the pronunciation is Spanish for "inquiry") is the arrancar equivalent of the shinigami ability to sense spiritual pressure. It functions similar to sonar.

they count the souls in the area... both dead and alive

as halibel was finished with pesquisa ulquiorra counted any souls in the area

over 10,000 souls... lets move... they sonidoed away to the next area there was no telling what they where planning to do but they where calculating trough something as if a mission was brought to them, at any rate the reitsu wave registered ryuumaru as well as everyone in the high school and anyone withing the distance of kilometers, they both moved at such speeds it took only a few minutes to reach the next area
