Welcome to Gaia! ::

A large steel door opened to show Tsukiko pushing at the other side with a single finger, letting her Captain into the room. She looked all around and then made her way over to one of the tables where she hopped into a stool and began tinkering with some chemicals. Hei shut the door behind him and made his way towards a shelf where he plucked three vials off it and then scurried over to his surgery table. Casting off his haori and letting the top half of his shihakusho hang to the ground, he sat on the edge of the surgery table and then leaned back and stared at the ceiling for a second. He pulled a syringe off of the nearby table and slid the needle into the vial's cork, drawing out the liquid on the inside. When he was done, he located one of his veins in his stomach and slid the needle into it and injected the contents of the syringe into his bloodstream and waited for it to take effect.

The numbness came early this time, maybe Tsukiko hadn't diluted the formula just right. He had picked a scalpel from off the table next to him and had already slid it into his abdomen when he felt a reiatsu approaching, moments later, there came a knock at the door and muffled words. He let out an exasperated moan and looked over to his Vice Captain who was clacking away at a keyboard hooked up to a desktop. "Tsukiko..." Looking back to himself he continued with the incision he had intended to make before the interruption. "On it..." She struck a key and Hikaru's face appeared on the screen. In about a minute, Hei had finished opening up his abdomen and was now tinkering with his own insides. "Let her in." He sighed after having viewed the screen and recognized the woman. Tsukiko nodded and slid off her chair, calmly walking over to the steel door. She punched a series of numbers on the keypad and after it clicked, she pulled it open with little effort, despite it's size. "Father is on the table..." She turned away and slipped back to her work station, erasing Hikaru's face from the screen and continuing with her work. "Well well, if it isn't cow boobs." He said with a sadistic grin before turning back to his organs.

[That's my RP style, take it or leave it. mrgreen ]
[Hmmm... I dunno what I think about bolding...]

Tsukiko stared at Hikaru's reflection in her monitor and stopped typing after the captain spoke of her in such a way. She then spoke in her usual monotone manner. "The design of my father is absolute. Besides, I'm naught but 7 years old, large breasts would be quite odd on me, wouldn't you agree?" She let out a sigh of annoyance and returned to her work. "I've told you to address me formally every single time. That's Hakase, you unpleasant woman." Hei said, ignoring her request for the moment, he picked up one of the vials that he had taken from the shelves and put it next to him. He stuck a syringe into the cork and drew the liquid from it and then injected it into the vein he was holding up with a hooked tool. When he pulled the needle away, some of the liquid fell onto the table and burned a hole into it and the floor below it immediately. Paying no mind to this, he finished what he was doing and began to stitch himself up. It was done expertly, as he had done this many times over. He poked the area in question, and given that he felt the pressure, he knew that the nerves had gone undamaged and thus, the operation was a success. The wound made by Shroud had been lost with the time and forgotten until just now. It was a shallow cut, barely enough to draw blood. Seeing as he didn't want to bandage it, he ignored it and swung his legs to the side and let them hang off the edge. He would have his sister erase the imperfections from his skin at a later time. He was now looking over to the large-chested captain in his lab. "Girlie, you can turn around now." He flashed yet another sadistic grin in regards to her fear of blood, but it quickly vanished. "What's this about necromancy?" His fingers twitched slightly at the prospect of being able to cheat the laws of the world once more. He gripped the edge of the table and his knuckles began to turn white from the pressure.

"Such an unpleasant woman you are. Dangling prospects of such things in my face." He dropped down off the table and slipped his arms into his shihakusho. Afterward, he picked up his haori and draped it over his shoulders, not bothering to put it on all the way. "Souls disappear when they die." Tsukiko said softly without looking up from her work. "There is that..." His hands went to the tie that held up his long, black hair. He pulled at it and released it from it's prison. It fell over his shoulders and he then tucked the left side behind his ear. "Doesn't seem very likely that a soul could be revived." After a few seconds of simply staring at her, he turned and began putting away his stuff, dropping the empty vials and used syringes into a hazardous waste basket. "Unless... you know something that I don't." He twitched his fingers and then curled them into fists and turned around.

"I never said it was impossible, unpleasant woman." He chuckled as she left, not even bothering to wonder if she had heard or not. "Bye then..." Turning to Tsukiko, he raised a brow and leaned up against the table. "What do you think?" She looked up from her work, and simply shook her head. "Maybe... I know no more than you. I'd have to research the daireishokairo for more information." She gave a little sigh and turned her head to see if the woman was gone yet. Her father had always had a knack for driving people away and he had done it once more. Hei nodded a bit and turned his head to the side. Necromancy had never really crossed his mind. One would be nuts to think he would bother even trying to reattach a soul to it's body in the living realm, and since souls disappear when they die in the Soul Society, he had never really given the matter much thought.

"I really have to get an assistant for this." Hibiki thought as he stood at the 12th division's main door. He sighed before knocking on the door, but before his hand could even touch the surface of the door he felt the slight vibration of an explosion. 'Damn' fearing the worst he tried to open the door but failed as it was locked. "As expected of Hei." he then decided to run outside only to see the two comets of smoke, believing them to be Hei and his lieutenant, Hibiki followed them. 'Dammit Hei, you're not getting away from me. You still haven't given me your goddam report.'

(Sorry for just butting in unannounced. xd )

As Hei finally rose from the table, he shook his head and stared off at the lab. The papers had been burned, but they could be replaced. everything was either committed to memory or saved to the computer. thank goodness he had created reiatsu barriers for everything, otherwise, he would have been screwed pretty royally. Maybe not so bad in hindsight, most things were resistant to fire and shock and everything else was stored in the warehouse. he slid off the table and noticed that Tsukiko was slumped over and lightly snoring like a little girl would. She was seven, after all, it was to be expected that she might sleep mid-day. He strolled over to the computer and for the next several minutes was looking up a formula of his own design. Once he had found it, he printed it off and began gathering the ingredients for it.
