Glancing at Aquamarine from the corner of his eye, the only thing he could do is let out a chuckle. This one was slightly different than the others. A more emo type of hollow that seemed as though she were bled dry of all reason to live. Perhaps she had him confused with someone else or she was just one leg short of a chair. For a female, of all these hollow her ego seemed to leak off an air of superiority when in fact she knew deep down inside where she stood off. Inferior beings such as herself were no different than a mere demi hollow. Just another lost heart. Until they proved their worth, they're acknowledgment wouldn't be of anymore importance than the dirt they stood on. Pocketing his hands casually, he shook his head pretending to show sympathy for the woman.
"Interesting. What you say about me doesn't ell me a single thing about me, it only tells me more about yourself. Surrounded by these male hollows all day without any attention from them has gotta be pretty stressing for you, hehe. Then again I couldn't blame these guys. Just look at you. You disgust them. If the Hollow King were to devour you and s**t you out, you'd come out looking the no different than you already look."
He said casually pulling his soul pager from his pockets before entering a text. He was a man of results. He needed to see the worth of something before anything. Talking, boasting, and anything idealistic was just what it was. An idea at the end of the day. Today this same woman couldn't even defeat a lieutenant, yet she questioned the higher authorities as if she had made a difference. Only a mere waste of space for the ride to the Soul Society. When the arrancar called Validus approached him with the remnants, he refused them and placed them back into the arrancar's hands.
"Sorry kiddo, but you have me mistaken for some other shinigami. Save it for a memento of what you once were."

 Akane Shiori "I'm always watching... You cannot hide your sins..."
Her smile could only widen when her Fuku-taicho made her appearance, it seemed she had arrived in time to catch a way through, very impressive, however Noriko would not be so lucky as she seemed t have been stuck behind, it was no matter to Shiori, the girl had been a loose end anyways, Kana however was very important to her both as a soldier and as her best friend. "Kana-chan!" She waved from on the Hollow King's back. "I'm so happy she is here." Shiori turned to look at Kazei as he seemed to be talking about the others down there, she caught the end of his comment. "Yes and flies are wonderful bait for spiders..." His smile seemed to settle well with her, afterall he was still a handsome man, frowning or smiling.
"Yeah." She mumbled a little, seeming in thought for a second. "For a time I did." She chuckled again. "I'm getting off now, I want to see My dear Kana." She placed a hand on Kazei's shoulder and paused beside him for a moment, facing the opposite direction. "Thank you Kazei-sama." With that she leapt off the King's back and gently seemed to float to the ground, where she took a few steps and embraced Kana. Everything was perfect now, she was getting exactly what she wanted, she had Kazei, an allie she knew she could trust, Kana her loyal friend, and she was that much closer to find Aizen, the target of her aspirations for power.

For the first time in a while, Ganga's rib cage began aching with laughter that he kept to himself as Kazei destroyed the pride of Aquamarine with that single joke. He knew the minute she engaged him in conversation that her ego would get burned. The man had just turned an entire court against every single being he selected within eyes reach. Turning words against those who opposed him was something he was very known for. Though the the other hollows despised her, he didn't mind her company. She wasn't that munch different than Almidon. They could be brother and sister with their personalities. Each of them thought of themselves greater than their superiors even though they weren't foolish enough to attempt at putting those boasts to the test.

 "Madness...? Do you fear me...?" ╰☆╮ Λguaмarιиa ╰☆╮
"Are you afraid of what I may do...? What I can do...?" "What an interesting reaction... Do you find it encumbering...?" "And the attention of a single b***h has got you sprung higher than the Eiffel tower." Aquamarina commented back. For a moment, her doll face looked at Shiori talking away to Kana before looking back at Kazei. "Unimpressive, but a lovely experiment. Mayhap next time, Aisu should get his hands upon her, wouldn't that be a sight to see. Regardless perhaps when fate pulls though, you'll see what will become of on your own terms. But as it is, I shall leave you all to your mongering. If you need to call my services once more, then you'll know where to find me." The last sentence seemed more directed to Ganga then the rest of the group. She picked up the end of her dress delicately with the tips of her fingers and bowed in an old English manner.
Slowly, her body began to disintegrate into small round bubbles no bigger than a quarter. Starting at her feet, then rising up to her body, millions of bubbles. Though, before she fully was able to disappear, her head turned to Ganga. "I advise caution around this one, Ganga. Even you know that the king of grasshoppers still fear the smallest of birds." And with that, she had vanished into many transparent spheres. These bubbles fluttered away, scattered into the four winds.
Regardless of their differences, Aguamarina had to agree with the former 14th division captain. The hands of time were moving. The grains of sand were falling. But most of all, the wheels of fate have already began to turn. The next events will be great ones, and Aguamarina had much to do.

Frieza moved to the way side, he had a new body and new powers, but he was not strong enough yet to take the powers of an Arrancar, he wanted to be nearly perfect when he changed, he would be nearly perfect when he changed. So he disappeared into a void of black returning to the human world to collect souls and put his own plan into motion.

Kana smiled gently to her superior, accepting the embracing action provided with. Although it was a bit strange to her to see the red-headed woman do such actions and smile this great of a deal, she'd accept it as it would come. Afterall, that was how she was in most situations. "And what becomes of the moment at hand? The Agenda for the remaining periods of nights and days to come, Shiori-san?" She questioned lightly, with a gentle tilt of the head, her bangs drifting off a bit more to the side, just barely revealing the silver of the dark night, her eyes constantly playing tricks to those who looked.
Her gaze drifted to that of the Hollow-king, Kazei, and the disappearing Aquamarina who seemed too much like a child. But she wouldn't do much of anything, for the times were at hand, and she needed things to be done as soon as possible.

Kazei looked up at the large Ganga as if he didn't realize what the large hollow was laughing at. The very sight of it almost caused Kazei to burst into laughter as well, but he held is composure. This arrancar here was actually entertainment. It would be sad for her to leave so soon because he hadn't had this munch fun ever since the incident. Apparently this woman's attention span sparked up the moment she took notice of interaction between Kazei and Shiori. Perhaps he was wrong about her and the male hollows. Maybe. Just maybe she had this slight thing for.........But then he laughed it off once more as he could see where this was going.
"Looks like we arrived during hollow mating season. Somebody definitely got left out."
He referred to the woman before letting out a chuckle, ever so continuing to throw short and silent jabs at the woman's ego. She definitely needed someone to cope with at this point, as Kazei could clearly see how she referred to other shinigami involved in this relationship game.
"Trust me. You may be the baddest thing on isle 10 in the local grocery store, but you've got yet to step in the water with the sharks. "
He also found it funny the way this woman spoke as if she had plans of her own. This was the very line that separated her from Kazei. The border between action and words. Any momentary triumph you think gained through argument is really a Pyrrhic victory. The resentment and ill will you stir up is stronger and lasts longer than any momentary change of opinion. It is much more powerful to get others to agree with you through your actions, without saying a word.
"Demonstrate, do not explicate. When you have results, then I can actually acknowledge your existence. Until then my dear, you're unnecessary to life."
He said calmly to the arrancar before glancing back at the united Kana and Shiori. Even Kana seemed surprise to see the woman smile as munch, making it all the more open that Kazei wasn't the only one who notice. Therefore, Aquamarine would be left looking like the a** she put herself out to be, seeing clearly now that her suspecting of the two being clearly false now.

 From the small jabs, to Ganga actually laughing Validus had trouble not busting a gut himself. His only saving grace was his warrior face. "... you are right Kazei. Results are the only thing that matters." Looking at his mask Validus returned it to his robes. "... you have results, I do not." Pausing for a moment an idea struck his head. When he spoke, he would have a professional look on his face. "Kazei... the process used to place a mask on a shinigame... what if the same process was used on an Arrancar?"

Akane Shiori "I'm always watching... You cannot hide your sins..."
Shiori seemed much lighter now, it appeared that the tension and stres was gone from her shoulders, Seireitei was the Zero Taicho's problem now. Releasing her lovely friend, Shiori paused to look at Kazei,t hen back at Kana. "The agenda will change slightly, since I didn't expect so much assistance." She gave Kazei another soft smile. "Now I must find Aizen. I'm sorry my dear Kana-chan..." She gripped the woman's hands. "I kept all this secret from you, because I feared that if I was caught before anything could occure, you might be punished aswell. If I had to leave you behind I would want to leave an innocent woman." She seemed to have a good side, however it was selective to which people Shiori felt close to.
She looked to Kazei for a moment. "What do you plan o do, will you stay by me or do you have your own agenda now?" She had never been close to the man and despite having cameras everywhere, she knew practically nothing about him. If he chose to go his own way, she would understand, this was a world of choices and she would not make any attempt to change the plans of another who she respected.

Kana said nothing for the time being, nodding her head in quiet acknowledgment to Shiori's words. There wasn't much that could be done about what Shiori-had done. And as Fuku-taicho, she had to play her own role as well, shouldn't she? A quiet nod came from her towards Kazei before she gently pushed up her glasses for the briefest of moments.
"Quite all right, Shiori-san. It's understandable." She replied simplistically.

Kazei looked back and Shiori and Kana. They were both pretty decent fighters when it came to stepping into the heat of combat. But letting them travel on from here on out wasn't a good idea. The way things looked at this moment. In times like these, there was always a hollow trying to make a name for itself. And they would do anything these days to get their names acknowledge by greatness.
"Well that you put it that way. I've always had my own agenda. I'm in no big rush to get back to everyone else. Right now I have to go back to Karakura to get some more candy. I've completely out. Can you believe it?"
He said removing his hands from his pockets before popping a lollipop into his mouth. Glancing back at them, he tossed them both two strawberry kiwi flavored ones.

Akane Shiori "I'm always watching... You cannot hide your sins..."
She chuckled a little, pleased that Kana would understand, it would break what little was left of her heart if the woman had turned on her, especially since she knew that it would mean Kana would have to be killed. Luckily no such issue would arise. "You are no longer my Fuku-taicho. I have abolished my rank." She pulled off her Haori and sighed. "Now you are my friend and companion." With that she released her Haori, which caught in the wind and blew away. She seemed to have no regrat giving it up, she only kept the red belt that she'd worn around her waist, which she tied up in her hair to make a pony-tail.
Facing Kazei she could see he was thinking, and she wondered what ran through his head, did he see her as weak for asking his assistance? or was he simply one of those people who thought about random things at random times. "I see. Then I thank you, enjoy yourself, you can reach me by finding my Raitsu." She seemed to have mistook his answer to that he was going on his own. Her mind was set to find Aizen, she knew it would not be a very easy search, especially with rogue Espada, Cuchillo and Fraccion wandering about, aswell as all types of Hollows., but she was determined to succeed or die trying.
Catching the treat in her hand she gave a small questioning look and pulled the strawberry one form ehr pocket that he'd given her earlier. Well now she had one for later. She unravelled the treat and looked at his with a strange expression. Clearly she had never had sweets like this before. Finally she popped it into her mouth, a slight spark of delight crossing her eyes.

Kana wasn't too sure about that. No emotion passed over her expressions but her mentality was doing horrible things to her. Yelling at her, screaming at her, feeling much like a fool for she felt the betrayal she may perform against Kazei and Shiori. A sigh escaped her lips, just barely before she ran a hand through her hair for a moment, tying up the dark locks.
"Even then, you're still my leader and I'll abide by your rules and your orders alone." She'd make sure it was clear. She wasn't here for Kazei, or anyone else. She'd kill all hollows who'd get in her way, in Shiori's way, for the time being. She'd only follow the woman before her, and no one else. As would be expected from her.
At the sugary treat tossed towards the two, Kana couldn't help but move swiftly enough to catch her superior's, only a second to check for anything and then only to slice through her own with a quick draw of her blade. "I don't partake in gifts, terribly sorry." She stated quietly as she settled down, pushing her glasses up, releasing the lollipop meant for Shiori. Despite her words, she didn't seem too sincere, too kind, towards Kazei. She wouldn't trust him. Not the least bit during her stay with Shiori.

"Great my last one. Couldn't you have just given it back to me before you went all samurai-like on my candy?"
He chuckled, as he watched the woman slice through the candy as if a shuriken were tossed at her. It was already bad as is that he had to go back and refill on these suckers and now he had to watch Kana split right through one as if it were butter. Women were a real handful. You could never be to mean or too nice to one.
"Unfortunately we'll be worlds apart but I guess you two could hit me up through the soul pager if you need me. In the meantime you two should get to training. With the search you're on, things could end up in your favor or against you so I'd prepare for the worst if I were you. Later."
He said waving the piece sign as he strolled off into the distance of Hueco Mundo. The white sands blowing up by the first winds that kicked up around him. His hair swinging wildly like swaying blades dancing through the blackness. As the sands of whiteness swirled up around him, letting his form become lost within the great blur.
"I'll see you when the times comes Ganga. We meet up halfway, remember that." His words trailed off faintly through the winds.

As he watched all this a single thought snuck in to Validu's head. 'I think I'm going to be sick.' It was true, these people disgusted him, and for once, he didn't care about power. 'If I ever get the chance, that Kazei will die.' Looking out over the desert Validus smiled before cracking his knuckles. "Excuse me folks, but I have Hollow to eat... perhaps a few Menos Grande." Taking a step forward Validus would vanish from the area, leaving the others alone. 'Their all going to die one of these days.'
