The new two {Private, Iratze}

The day was night and the night was day; always so annoying to the little one who wandered about the palace grounds. Why did it have to be day time when clearly it was normally always night! Wasn't day the time that the soul society and the living world enjoyed, so why did they need it? The moon was the true ruler of this land, it was annoying and stupid and it just, Always glares the screen! Ai shouted annoyed at the fact that it was a nice "day". Nice days were annoying to her since that meant all those little toys she gathered from the world of the living had screen glare on them, unless she played inside. No one however played inside unless they were lame doo doo pants.

Why did she ever become an Espada anyway she hadn't really done much except live in a big house instead of the sand. The sand was just fine, it was calming, and better than the hard stuff in the world of the living which all the humans liked to walk and drive cars on. Still such a bother and just shutting it off she laid down on top of the balconies little walls; bobbing her head back and forth and crossing her legs, hands behind her head and not a real care within any of the different ‘worlds”. She didn't wear the Espada outfit at least when it wasn't some kind of an official business so she might have looked out of place, but she didn't care. Not due to rage or arrogance but due to the sheer ignorance and child like attitude she carried within her mind. She didn't like it so why wear it? Yucky and annoying were two was she would describe it and unless the higher ups told her too she didn't have to do it. Realizing that she was thinking of things like this, Ai figured she hadn't gotten out in a while nor had a fun conversation and learned anything new, which made her more anxious than ever. She needed something fun to happen.

There was supposedly something important going down but Ai didn't really care too much to go to it; it was probably all boring and the same thing that they said all the time. Blah blah blah world domination, blah blah blah we are amazing people of amazing, but what about the candy? She wanted to go and have some candy instead of listen to that even if it was informative, oh well sooner or later if no one showed up she would head on out and go do something fun, and check out that meeting too well at least the notes from it. Despite all her childish attitude towards it could lead to something fun, you never know.

Does time exist in the Hueco Mundo? In Las Noches? There is no weather concept, and no concept of night and day. Inside the Las Noches, it is one set time of day, the Hueco Mundo being set to the opposite. We sleep when we must yet we never know when we sleep, when we must act. All we know is just to act in our own manner. Cici leaned against the hallway wall, previously exiting the meeting room in which there was little to no activity. She, in a grunt, ended her rest against the wall, slowly pitter-pattering in the form of a lazy duck-walk into the outside balcony of Las Noches. She moved her hand up and down the hilt of her shamshir, Fisiologia. In the non-glorious gloom Cici held as her mantle, she sighed, keeping her head pointed low.

That is when her eyes set upon her. A girl with similarly colored hair, a crimson that flowed elegantly infront of her eyes. It was a taste of sight, one sense stimulated by the sight of beautiful, red hair. Cici's eyes set on her as she made her way towards the girl. She cleared her throat in a prissy matter and spoke in a sultry voice, " Hello, Senora. Room for two? she winked towards the girl, walking around to catch a view of her face. Cici's eyes shined with a crimson glow, she smirked elegantly with a bit of softness. She held her hands behind her hourglass figure. She leaned against the balcony's rail, crossing her arms but still scanning the girl's petite body with her eyes in a slow matter. She took in the shapes and sizes of the girl and then resumed trying to meet their crimson eyes.

Just minding her own business when someone decided to happen by. What luck she would think within her head as they spoke towards her asking if there was room for two. Well duh there was room for two this was a big balcony after all! There was obviously the required space for two such people to exist without worry of there being containment and personal space disruptions. There's plenty of room for two Ai believes. Cheerful and upbeat was her motto for this conversation, she wasn't messing around with the happy this time. Though this woman well technically hollow looking at her seemed to not be really "looking" at her. She was doing something else, something strange like she was checking her out rather than just wishing to talk. She must have loved her outfit! It all made sense she had a red outfit on too and red hair and eyes meaning she must love the color red! That made her awesome.

You like my outfit, Ai ponders? Leaping up from her position of leisure she took the moment to get her baring of what exactly was within her noggin. There was so much that she could ask right now and so much that could be done she almost exploded due to the thoughts that she had yet to think! It was all so fabulous. Why come out here though, Ai inquires? If you come out here then that means you must be bored or want something... Ai is nervous... Sudden;y a wave of terror overtook her as she made a somewhat panicked look upon her little loli like face, You wish to take the world of the living items Ai has acquired, Ai states? I shall let you know that Ai will not hand them over, or maybe you are here cause of that meeting, Ai gives herself relief thinking. Yes all hectic and weird but that was Ai, she had a case of OCD, ADHD, and Tard rolled all into one, and yet someone could still make sense. Working for her so far she continued with the rampant pattern of nonsensical whimsy. Your outfit is lovely since it's red, Ai believes. Smooth like a greased up train, that's what her words were. Honestly a marvel at the modern terms of socializing and not a weird freak at all!

Looking out into Las Noches, the wasteland of a city, Cici was happy the girl would invite her. She released an approving tone as her depression seized, a reign of relief flushing over her. The upbeat reaction was like a show, so cheerful and giddy. She giggled a bit as the girl begins talk of her dress. Adjusting herself, she wondered if hitting on this innocent girl was futile or not. Though it was never good to start with the sultry fun, so she just engaged in regular conversation. " Oh, yes Chica,You're dress is fine." she made an "mhmm" sound in a sort of Spanish accent, which had been how she spoke the entire time along with her sultry voice.

She shook her head when the girl started exasperating about Cici doing something to her. From then she tried stopping the girl from continuing on about her ranting on how she would take her things from her. Shaking her head, she told the girl quite frankly, " No, honestly I just recently obtained the position of Espada so I haven't really interacted with the Primera yet. Yeah, I'm from the meeting. Boring. Pointless. ". Cici seemed to be bother by how the meeting was a waste of time, but it was shoo'd by the fact there is no concept of time within the Hueco Mundo and its castle-city, Las Noches. She nodded in approval after being complimented, blushing a bit. She wondered how long this "Ai", who was talking in third person, had been in Hueco Mundo. " I was wondering, how long have you been here? I have never seen you before in my entire...life? And by the way, Ciencia de Poder. But you can just call me Cici." she turned her head slowly and smoothly towards Ai.

Spoiler:

The girl... woman? Ai would have to agree with woman, went on to say her name and that she had never seen her before in her entire life. Didn't she mean after life, since regular life was probably boring because you couldn't fly and shoot lasers wherever you wanted and yell things to get power ups. Yep normal life was pretty crap compared to this life even if they were supposedly sinful beings, or fallen beings. Course you haven't ever met Ai in your entire life! You are dead Ai states with much concern. We could have met in the after life though, but much of Ai's after life is fuzzy and cold feeling so Ai ignores it Ai recollects and states. While the third person rambles were probably annoying and would make this Espada think that even the meeting was fun Ai didn't recognize that it was annoying because she was too busy being mentally eight. She still hadn't gotten that candy from the one who said joining the Espada would get her it either... she would have to find them and talk to them, if only she could remember who they were in the first place!

Everything was so maddening! She almost threw a little temper tantrum at the fact that she was a 'new' Espada just like herself, but she couldn't really do it without messing up her dress and probably the balcony, and the balcony hadn't hurt anyone! Instead Ai simply smiled towards her and innocently replied to her name being given, Cici sounds like a fun name Ai believes. It sounds like a spice or something, something delicious which many would use as a topping or perhaps a form of entertainment... Ai ponders. Putting on her super serious (not really) thinking face she placed her little hand underneath her chin, and stared off to the side her entire face seemingly trapped within her insanely brilliant mind. Oh oh oh Ai didn't say that Ai's name is Ai! In Japanese a language mainly spoken by those from the Isle of Japan it means Love, or affection, or indego, but Ai disregards the last meaning as the color isn't read like Ai's or Cici's hair. Which makes it a no go Ai strongly enforces with her manner of speech. Huffing as if her words were the most important thing within the word right now she crossed her arms and held herself up with pride... till she realized she needed to be polite. It's what her memories reminded her about when speaking with others, always try to get them engaged even if she failed at it 99% of the time.

Oh and Ai has been here for about... uh... she pulled one of her arms out from under their comfortable place under her 'chest' she started to count and count and count, till she got fed up with it and gave a slightly pout expression. Eight hundred, fingers don't help when it's that high, good thing Ai remembers almost all. How long have you been here in the nice sand place filled with the roar of beasts? Ai questions.

The 3rd person speech was rather odd, but it was quite amusing to the crimson-eyed Espada. Cici found it as a sign of a lingering cuteness only a child could have. What made it ironic was the fact Ai lived for so long, which seemed quite overwhelming. She jerked her head to the side, flailing strands of hair away from her eyes. Slowly, Cici turned her head to resume looking at Ai as the two conversed. She giggled a little bit, but then she blushed when Ai complimented on her name. She turned her head away in order to hide it, clenching the edge of the balcony hard, " Why thank-you, Ai. You do realize that you already revealed your name, though, right?". She tried pointing out that factor since it seem more instinctual than willing. Was it a bad habit or something she just did naturally?

Nonetheless, Cici enjoyed the 3rd person talk, but mostly because she thought Ai was as cute as a plushie. The two were both the crimson-colored Espada-ranked arrancar, the only difference was body proportions and age. What made her see something odd about Ai was her understanding of her death and rebirth. She didn't understand whether the girl thought they were still dead or if they truly were reborn into a new type of life. What cheered her up was the constant babbling on about the meaning of her name and the fact about their hair color being the same. " What do you hate most?" she said blatantly, breaking off from their previous conversation.

Cici, personally, hates men and most types of them. Most of them enjoy looking at women in vulgar ways as well as tricking them into bed or torturing them. Men especially like her brother and even more especially like her father. She couldn't tell who was worse between the two, but there are many like them out in the living world as well as the multiple worlds involved with it. It was the men, the pigs she hated most.

Yes but Ai hadn't said it formally, and not saying it formally is what meanies do! You didn't do that so must not be a meanie big sister, Ai affirms. She shook her head and smiled all while doing it. She didn't find the act of telling a name something you just passively do, despite how she did it all the time. If you were going to formerly tell someone who you were it was important as then they would remember you, especially if it was a fight. All that cheesy honor that people threw around was ripe of the picking within her mind; she loved to know who she fought and hung out with. it was all a nice little game that she had to keep track of and just thinking that she learned a little bit more about someone possibly fun made her want to jump in place like a school girl. Knowledge wasn't only her power it was both her great joy and her great sorrow.

Feeling if her standard stance right now was boring however, Ai decided to move against the opposite side of the balcony doing a little twirl to get there and then plopping herself up on top of it rocked her head back and forth before a sudden bomb was dropped into the conversation. it was like her heart just sank as that question rung within the small confines of her hearing. What did she hate? There were so many things that she found sad, so many things she knew about that she wished she didn't know about and it hurt her head thinking about. What is it that she hated though, such a strong word that caused so many emotions to swell within someone. She didn't have to think about this one much as it was something a part of her so distant had thought about so long ago. Her face turned south as she started to answer, Ai hates... Ai's own powers. Ai cannot forget anything, Ai knows allot and knows many different joys that have happened here and in the living world. Ai knows so much that is happy but also so much that is sad. Ai sorrowfully states. Her head almost hanging from that, her long red hair being twisted within her hands holding onto it almost like a crutch. It was her security blanket currently. Ai knows that humans in the living world fight and kill each other and then either become like the Shinigami or like us, and then feel their own suffering. AI hates knowing it since Ai can't stop it even though Ai doesn't have the right too as Ai is sinful, and a bad girl deep down. Ai thinks she ponders of the candy she shouldn't ever have.

Just as quickly as she seemed to be sad though Ai snapped back into a more cheerful disposition, almost instinctively to avoid the rampant depression that could happen with her innate "talents". What do you hate big sister? What is that makes you want to scream and hide away in a corner with unhappy thoughts, Ai ponders. She had asked but now Ai's face was somewhat happy despite the subject matter. Why? Because she was learning something; something she would never forget. Whether it would be for better or worse... time would be the judge. Hopefully it would be something fun, and not depressing then maybe they could do something neat, or maybe she would remember to ask about the meetings details instead of being a tard.

Cici, too, hated something dearly. It was the very object of reality within these worlds. Men. In the mortal world, they are simplistic, perverted, stubborn, and the likes. The only exception for ignorance are the ones who are graduated from prestigious colleges with their high-level degrees. But there was no avoiding them striking dirty looks at her, wanting what they couldn't have. She was young then, they still held back from preying on her, unlike her family. Like father, like son it seemed. What happened to her father and brother though? Did they travel to the Hueco Mundo? What about the Soul Society?

It was odd, the whole endgame she decided when she "lived". But she knew what she hate, men. Men had been the cause of her life failing. The areas she lived in were infested with the predatious men, the pigs of mankind mostly. Few showed any potential just because she lived in poor areas, especially when her brother took her to Beijing. When he started preying on her, she would never be the same. She would never feel more betrayed than then. But what she truly hated most was her family. Cici turned away, tearing up a bit after remembering her past. She was reluctant to speak, cracking the balcony's edge a bit after gripping it.

She knew she would react this way, the anger and hate welled up inside her was too strong to handle. After ending her grief, she finally began to speak, " Yes. My family. The thing I hate most is my father and my brother. They are the reason why I hate the pigs called men.". She seemed to emphasize on the "pigs" and "men" part of her answer. After holding in her anger, she felt like smashing a few things, maybe make some sort of explosion. But Cici knew she had to control herself, she knew now wasn't the time to act out.

Ai was now curious about this girl more so than before. She went into what she hated rather than anything else, why did you need so much hate within your life was she that sad all the time? Only Ai should be sad like that since Ai knew all about the many sad things within the worlds that dotted this "reality". This meant she would try to cheer her up with all her cute little dumb attitude. Don't hate your brother and father! Ai doesn't have either of those or at least Ai doesn't anymore. They are long gone and once gone you can't replace them so don't hate those who are with you, unless they are gone too in which case Ai is sorry. Ai tries to calm Cici. it was a bit sad actually that she hated someone and Ai wanted to make her feel better, but how. She could try words but words only worked so much she would have to try more than just that. Ai's first thoughts after that little sentence were upon candy, so she checked her pockets. She was all out of it; and she didn't want to share anything she had for fear of it being broken so it was all kinds of bad right now!

Her next plan though was perfect, and the best one yet. She didn't even know if Cici liked candy anyway she probably like other kinds of food which were rare around here and only in the human world. Dat' human world always being so pesky with it's stuff that was awesome, and hard to get without being bad. Her next plan was the most dastardly of auto hits imaginable, it was so evil that her very stance and way of walking over towards Cici. The red haired little devil of a seventh Espada was about to make Cici feel all better and destroy all the emo with one fell pounce. She hugged her, and pressing her head against her back which could be all stopped if it was a bad thing to do, she spoke out, don't be sad though and don't hate so much Ai suggests. There are plenty of nice things you can focus on instead right? Like beating up those Shinigami, or playing kick the hollow! Maybe even getting candy or one of the fun inventions within the living world Ai says trying to cheer up Cici. Trying to not hug too tight as that would be uncomfortable, Ai smiled, Besides you are an Espada, and Espada's are the best of the best so you should be like the best of the best and not be mad since you are already better than those you should be mad at! Ai emphasizes. Yes just as planned, the hug would probably work, Ai was a genius; a tactical genius.

An odd person, Ai was. She, unlike anyone who has ever been in Cici's life before, had actually tried to cheer her up without motivations related to lust and desire. Her brother only saved her so he could have her himself. But she was right, she was better than them. They were lowly humans who could probably easily be crushed now by her might. She, infact, was mighty. Her power of kinetic energy could smash those who stood in her way-spare the higher-up Shinigami. She was the Octava Espada, she was an elite and she should act as such. Hate might have been a mighty evil, but there was no escaping it.

Why did she take a twisting turn with subjects? Did she just blurt it out because the of the craving for someone to talk about it with? She couldn't guess it but she assumed it was time to cheer up. Cici definitely would never stop hating her sibling and parent, though. Nothing, absolutely nothing could stop the want to end them by her own hands. Though she smiled anyways and wiped the tears, ready to apologize for such a saddening conversation. " I'm sorry chica, for the total turn of events. Introductions than one big sollozar of words. But what is it that you like the most?" she reversed the whole personal questions end from saddening to cheerful. She slid her fingers up and down her shamshir's blade, thinking to herself My Fisiologia could never break my heart. It is my favorite thing.

This Arrancar was all about the hate and the revenge and that kind of stuff. Lectures would be given by teachers and most parents at this point but no not from Ai. Ai didn't really care she was just learning and that was a good thing, at least to her. Ai backed up from the supposedly super angry arrancar as she spoke towards her, it seemed like it had worked somewhat; or maybe Ai had just gotten lucky that she wasn't having a completely horrible day. In either case Ai now didn't have to completely worry at least she didn't believe that, since the other girl managed to ask her what where the things that she liked. This was going to be a long winded speech, or was it Ai didn't fully know what to say she liked allot of things but what was the best? She spun a bit and then paused to think, this was a tough one a very tough one. What did she like most within the world, what in the world could it possibly be?

This was an odd one coming from a supposed killing machine that only wanted to eat souls. Even stranger that the opposite party was interested in answering it, but here Ai went. Ai doesn't know what Ai's favorite thing is. Ai likes to much it's impossible to really think of what is the best thing in the world for her! Ai determines it was the truth the horrible truth! She didn't know what she liked most, maybe she would find out one day but for right now she didn't know it. There was one thing that she did know though, and it was something she hadn't been mentioning yet and it would take this conversation off the rails once again! Oh Ai never asked what did they want us to do in the meeting? Ai questions. Smile on her face and a song in her heart she would continue speaking at least one last time before waiting again for a reply, Oh also what is your favorite thing Ai wonders.
