God Yet Lives

Aera: <Where are we going, anyway?>

=====

*Kite has fallen asleep, standing in front of Urahara.*

OOC: Astarte has never heard of Lilith!

"Let's give you a test, then: You have pretty eyes & a great smile."
==============================
L"Look, whatever you're doing out here, someone's going to find out. You can't hide it forever."

N"Not if I didn't find anything."

L"Are...are you seriously suggesting lying to the 13 Court Guard Squads?!"
==============================
S"Hmm...we find out where this Enkidu's lair is, but no more than that. For all we know, Netzach & Malkuth could be there, hiding."
==============================
*Since the dumbass in front of him is being a dumbass, Urahara ignores him & goes back into his lab.*

Noctis couldn't help but smile, though she felt the eyes were a bit much since they were just dark brown, and unremarkable, "Thanks."

--

Atae, quietest person in Hueco Mundo.

--

"Alright, any ideas?"

Iris: <Knowing that would indeed be nice.>

*Climbing out of the pong and shaking herself off, she runs home.*

*No one is at Taiyo's house.*
================================
*Aroma finally catches up.*

A"Does...does anyone...know where...Sab...went...?"

L"Just tell me what's going on! I can help!"

<...Tipheret went over to the enemy. First Captain Psyche, now my lieutenant...how did this happen?>

*He walks over to lean against one of the trees.*

A"Um...I'm sorry for your loss, but what about the cute sheep girl?"
===================================
"Can you see out of your dragon's head?"

*She runs off to a homeless shelter or wherever you'd find Urahara.*

*Kite wakes up, almost falling over.*

Kite: <Hey, hey, wait up, that's not fair! I need your help!>

"Yes," Mortal said.

--

Atae points to Sab.

"I'm right here. I'm sorry for leaving you back there... I thought your sonido would be faster..." Sab said, apologetically.

A"Inchworm."

N"There's only one thing for it, then. I'll need to speak with Senthose."

*He starts to leave.*

L"...Are you taking the 4th Seat with you?"

N"What? Umm...no. Yes. I don't know, whatever you think is best."
===========================
Urahara<Whaaaaaaaat?>

*Taiyo walks in on Kite being dumb & Urahara moving boxes around.*
===========================
"We'll follow his scent, but stay down here. If you can watch the surface, but try to keep it concealed, that'll be just grand."

Kite: <Oh. Hello, Taiyo.>

*He turns to Urahara.*

Kite: <Not my fault you're--anyway! I needed your help accessing Hueco Mundo.>

"If I go back I'm going to have to tell Lt. Isane what happened here," Atae said.

Sab continued feeling bad for leaving Aroma, "Next time we go somewhere I'll make sure to take you with me when things get fast."

--

Mortal released, then blinked. High in the air were two black eyes, "Well, if they can see that, kudos," She said, at the pitch black sky.

"Have you seen Venezuela around?"

*Aroma smiles.*

A"Thanks. I'd like that a lot."

L"She'll have to be told eventually. You might as well just go do that. That is, if you know how to find your way back to the Garganta you used."
=======================================
<She's still down below. Go to Hueco Mundo? Why?>
=======================================
S"Do you see anything?"

*They hear rustling & the snapping of crystal branches nearby.*

Kite: <It's hum... I'm trying not to screw stuff up with the Arrancars.>

Mortal looked to see what was going on.

--

"Right, you can't just senkaimon you're way out of here," Atae said, a bit defeated.

Sab ripped open a garganta to soul society, "If you need to get back, I can help."

*Sand EVERYWHERE. Also, Senthose tries to slap her in the face.*

"Did you see that coming, or can you only see out of one set of eyes at a time?"
=====================================
Urahara<What?>
=====================================
L"So...I guess we found out what Senthose wanted us to find out?"

Mortal grabs his hand, "I can see out of both, but stressful situations on one end makes me distracted on the other, so no slaps."

--

"What makes you think Senthose knew anything about this?" Atae asked.

Sab, kind of annoyed, closed the garganta.

S"You'd have liked it. You're probably weird like that."

*Noah pushes through the trees.*

S"Hell do you want?"

N"...Do you know anything about the Sinners having double-agents in the Soul Society?"
==============================
L"He's the one who told us to see what you 2 were up to. I didn't even notice you came here."

"I'm not weird like that," Mortal said.

--

"Oh, that is... creepy."

S"No one believes you."

N"I would really appreciate it if you answered my question."

S"Yes, yes, I'm getting there...right...about...now. Yeah. I had no idea. Want to fill me in?"

N"My lieutenant went over to the enemy. Since you're the self-proclaimed strategist, I want to know what you intend to do about it."

S"I suppose you wouldn't approve if I said, 'kill her'?"

N"I suppose you wouldn't approve of going to Hell a little earlier than scheduled?"

S"Well, now, that's just rude. But let me ask you something...what makes you think your lieutenant will settle for anything less than total defeat & destruction?"
=================================
*Aroma snorts a little.*

A"Creepier than tresspassing on our back yard, looking for your friend, who is also tresspassing on our back yard?"

"Kind of assuming a lot to call the entire Meno's Forest your 'backyard'," Atae replied.

--

"You should, I mean, who would want to get slapped across the face?" Mortal replied, "I mean, it isn't all tender and romantic, but-- why am I talking about this?"

S"Well. Since you asked. It is not uncommon for nerves to refer sensation to other nerves, such as those in the cheeks transferring a tingling sensation to those in the lips, a known erogenous zone. And since you have hierro, it is unlikely that a slap to the face would hurt that much. Unless it was a really, really hard slap."

N"What is this, WebMD? What did you mean about my lieutennant?"

S"Just what I said. Some people are sore losers."
==================================
A"I guess that means you wouldn't take offense at all if we just sent random Hollows to snoop around random parts of the Soul Society? After all, it's not 'your back yard.'"

"Hollows are bloodthirsty monsters, present company excluded, so yes, we would take offense," Atae replied.

"That had a tinge of racism to it..."

"I excluded you two."

"That doesn't make it less racist."

--

Mortal was lost in thought for a second after hearing that.

Enkidu stopped and half turned to Aera and Iris, "I intend to go to Las Noches... or what is left of it. Not for a permanent place, but from there I was thinking to find a new home somewhere nearby."
He turned and kept walking.

Astarte just listened to the conversation.
