Akane Shiori
"I'm always watching... You cannot hide your sins..."
Her eyes settled on Kazei for a bit and a smile couldn't help but form on her lips. She glanced back at Kana for a moment, and while she had changed, Kana would know that the look in her eyes was not something different, but the same as they had look nearly sixty years ago, when she'd first found happiness. It might be a big change for both of them but for Shiori it was very positive. Her eyes shifted back to Kazei as she ignored Atsuma's taunting, hopefully Kana could handle it. "You're saying are old, but they're usually right, however some friend only appear enemies for the sake of protecting that friendship." She was clearly reffering to them, true she was affiliated with Aizen and the Privaron, however her main loyalty was to Kazei, and slowly her heart followed.
There was only one thing that bothered her about Kazei, she just could not read the man or his thoughts. Had he not become her allie she knew she would be at his mercy, as he was capable of decieving even the best. She trusted the dark-haired man who sat next to her, for some reason-which she didn't quite understand-she knew he trusted her. It seemed he was in a pleasantly thoughtful mood as he replied to her question. "Well we all known that even the devil has a heart. As do I and yourself." His slight affection seemed to put her in momentary shock, and even broguht a tiny blush to her fair toned cheeks. It seemed now things were beginning, which unfortunately meant that Shiori and Kana would have to return to Aizen. As he left she only waved, still unable to speak at the moment.
It was the small squabble between Kana and Atsuma that brought her back to reality and brought out a slightly twitch from her. As she rose she touched Atsuma's shoulder. "I have respect for the allies of my friends however... Kana is very important to me, more than you, so I advise that you do not pester her so much as to cause an outburst." SHe could be frightening when angry, perhaps it was that her eyes held a snake-like shine, with her pupils narrowed and sharp. When Kana made a rude retort Shiori growled a little and took a few steps from both of them. "Kana-chan. We're going now. I have no desire to remain here at this point." Kazei had left, so would now go back to Tres Cifras. With that she opened a Garganta and stepped through, not bothering to look back since she knew Kana would follow.
