Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kokei couldnt do anything but sigh and simply give a small nod "Ok Hei...thanks" She slowly got up and began to walk out before stopping before the door she gave a small sigh and slowly walked out she had to go visit the Captain Commander he knew of this.. surely he did. Kokei then left.

((Exit to Squad 1))

Hei watched her leave out his peripheral and wasn't complacent until she was completely gone and out of his radar. He attempted to go back to work but was interrupted by the appearance of a Hell Butterfly from Yuki that relayed the following message:



Hei smashed his head on his desk once again and sighed deeply. Gathering a few things from his table, he called out for Tsukiko who came sauntering into the room. After a few minutes, they were at the door and getting ready to leave when he got the message from Tomomi. "Great... two messages in one day. I swear, I am so tired of being called upon." He turned towards Tsukiko and instructed her to go to Tomomi. Within the next moment or so, Hei and Tsukiko had exited the Labs, locked it up, and vanished off in two directions; the 1st Division Training Grounds and the 4th Division Training Grounds.

As Hei was finishing up his creations, Tsukiko appeared in the doorway. She was no longer wearing a Shihakuso, but was clad in a hospital gown and obviously nude underneath. "I'm ready." she said in a somber tone before disappearing around the door frame. Tsukiko climbed up onto the surgery table as Hei came out carrying another body that was female and likely 12-13 years of age. He set it on the table beside him on the table and removed her gown. It was an oddly simple process, he simply shut her down and removed the soul container from her body and placed it in the new one. this new body had mechanical lungs, and mechanical heart that simulated the pumping of blood in a human. The only difference was that it pumped the superhuman drug and several other poisons throughout newly made plastic, but just as fragile veins through her body. When he was done, he booted up this new version. When her eyes slid open, she took a look at her new body. "This one feels weird..." She tested her reflexes and found that they were a bit sluggish. "That's because your soul hasn't been properly integrated into the new body." He said as Tsukiko carefully hopped down. She landed loudly and pulled herself up. "I see.." She answered as she moved towards the pile of fabric that was her clothes. She took one look at them and decided she was too big to fit in them. Hei noticed this and procured a new set from a supply closet. "I had these on hand for this body," He explained as she changed. "Go find Yuki and get her to help integrate your soul like she did last time. She'll know what to do." Tsukiko nodded, tightened her badge around her waist and slowly walked out the door. Hei strode over to his desk and sat down, then went to work on a project at his desk. He didn't have plans to leave any time soon.

Hei appeared in the doorway, Zanpakutō in hand. He walked in and stepped past Tomomi, spending the next few moments going in and out of rooms and stuff as he spoke. "I was trying to determine the best way to do this. I have devised several methods so far, each being less desireable than the one before it. I understand your forever young body is because of your Zanpakutō, am I right? Curiously, you are not unlike my sister. In that both of your Zanpakuto curse you, but in more ways than one, it seems. At least for her. One question, sir. Exactly how old, do you think we are? My sister and I?" He disappeared into the back room but was more than capable of hearing him.

"Close..." He came back in and took a seat on his surgery table. "I am quite old, surprisingly. Constant body modification, good health and several drugs keep me at this appearance. Where my sister is concerned, there's Rei Nagare. She regresses in age every time she uses her Zanpakutō. Time is directly proportional to Reiryoku use. Now, given the fact that Rei Nagare has a dormant state, but cannot be sealed, this curse is constantly in effect. Oddly enough, this curse seems to take away age just as quickly as she gains it leaving her, in all intents and purposes, insusceptible to the aging process that we Shinigami are affected by. Whether this means that she cannot die due to old age is uncertain. What I do know is that I can return her body to the age-appearance at which she acquired said power with my Bankai. Noting this, I determined that I cannot, in fact, revert your form to what it should look like had you not been cursed. However, and this is key, I can remove the curse, and age you to the desired age. Because well, let's face it, I'm just that amazing." He managed a smirk, and one could tell he was getting excited. "So! If Ouhi is not a constant curse, but rather one implemented long ago, then this should be child's play. With that said, if you would please step into my Bankai." With this, he drew Kagezume, uttered it's release, and it vanished, only to form a smaller version of his Bankai orb. When Tomomi stepped in, the curse would be lifted, but his appearance would remain the same. Hei would work on that later.

Hei listened to this taking in as much as he could as he had never heard it before and his desire to know everything was insatiable. He nodded now then. "Understandable. I can do it at anytime you wish. Or Tsukiko can do it for me, should I be absent. Why do you ask?"

After breathing a deep sigh he looked Tomomi in the eye. Surely he didn't know about his girl troubles and that he should be talking to her. Or did he... Hei's stomach twisted into a knot at the very thought of confronting her and he gulped. "You're kind of creepy sometimes, you know that? I actually do have somewhere I should be. I will age you on a later day, sir. Goodbye." He bowed then moved towards the door. "And stay out of my head, you freaky kid." He muttered before disappearing behind the door, but not before grabbing a bar of chocolate from his desk.
