Welcome to Gaia! ::

This area is the office for the Lieutenant of the 12th Division, Hideki Uchiro. Its semi-clean, though there are stacks of papers randomly about the office, consisting of both technical division things as well as research and sketches for inventions as well as radical information. His desk is located in the middle of the room, which is directly in front of the sliding doors that are used as the entrance. Behind the desk is a mini-lab, for the moments he has epiphinomenon. This lab has small amounts of everything the normal lab does, aside from highly infectious things or items marked dangerous. There is a large book shelf to the left of the desk, it lines the wall.

The entrance to the office opened up quickly, small mumbling sounds being heard as it slid open. A soft patter of steps as Hideki stepped in was all that was heard with the mumbling, then the soft scrape of the door closing, a click confirming it was closed. A shuffle of paper within his hand occurred as he turned a page and moved over to the book shelf to the left of his desk. He looked over the papers to place his finger on the spines of the books and move over them, scanning for a specific one. Upon finding it, he removed it from its resting place and opened it to about half way and moved towards his desk. He was to preoccupied upon entering the room to even notice the small child in his guest chair. He sat down and kept his gaze low, down at the book and papers. He pulled out a small brush and an ink stone, swashing the tip of the brush in the ink he made swift adjustments to whatever was on the paper. He heard a shuffle in the hallway and glanced up, looking directly at this small child and back down at his work. He began to scribble some things down before a swift breath in with an accompanying 'ore?' and the dropping of his brush was all that came from Hideki. His head slowly lifted itself to look upon her and he place a hand on his chin, and rested that arm on the desk with his elbow and looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "Would you mind telling me why a small young girl is currently sitting, seemingly aimlessly, in my office?" Hideki was oh so very curious to find out who this was, she had to get past everything Hei set up to defend the division thus far, so she had some knowledge of this area.

Hideki tilted his head to the right as she continued to stare, and then leaned forward, continuing the locked stares. He raised and eyebrow and then reached around with his right hand and tapped her shoulder, to see what she would do. He had an odd feeling this child meant more than she let on, that or she really was just that, a child. It could have been possible that it was Tsukiko, but she would only come for a reason, she was normally attached to Hei by the hip. She didn't seem like she was going to stop the gaze so he'd let the tap speak for itself and see what would come from it.

Hideki's face would contort as saliva hit his face. He took in a deep breath only for it to be let out when she unexpectedly kicked his shin. He, actually, almost hit his head upon the desk from that very movement. He moved his shihakushou sleeve over his face and wiped away the saliva and looked at her. He recalled his tap not doing anything to her, and her actually approach to him was off, when going with her appearance. He, again, took in a deep breath and placed his hands on the desk. "What...are you?" He was looking in her eyes, and used 'what' to signify that he believe her to be anything from soul to machine and anything in between.

Hideki lifted his head up and leaned back in his chair as she spoke, baffled that she'd say such things for her age. When she spoke of the equation he lifted an inquisitive eyebrow and leaned forward to look at her, and then at the paper. He scanned it quickly and returned his gaze to her, narrowing his eyes as he did. He licked his lips to moisten them and took a breath, "Upside down, the ability to actually know that it was wrong, and all without making a move to read it above the current height you can achieve in that seat. There is only one person..." He stopped himself as she pushed herself from the desk and started talking about training some girl. Wasn't Hei just assigned to train someone...I think he was, if my memory serves me right.

Hideki stood up from the desk and moved over to the lab behind him, placing his hands on the edge of the counter top and brainstormed for a moment. He examined, slightly, how she moved away from the desk, and the fact that she could move the desk itself as she did so, meant she was powerful, and for such a small stature everyone would have known her if she were 'commonly' seen. The only person his thoughts led to were his captain, and in all scenario's, Hei was daring enough to test just about anything, both theoretically and physically. He must have made something to do this to himself. He had all these thoughts flowing through his head, and, in real time, it took only a few seconds to do so. Soon after him moving over to the back of the room he turned and moved to the side of his desk. "That you, Hei-taichou." His eyes narrowed to something akin to a Kitsune and he moved his eyes to look over to the girl. It was more of a rhetorical statement, because only he and Hei had free access to this offices' books and papers, no one else would truly understand it enough to see a flaw in it; Hei was the only person capable of a feat like that, that he was confident in, choice wise.

Hideki gave a warm and quite sarcastic closed mouth mhmhmm kind of laughs upon her statement, only to lower his head towards the end of its long and drug out ending. He let out a sigh as he 'let out' this inner laugh, and took another breath and looked to her. "Well, I can't exactly punish you. You're my captain. But there is...something quite degrading to hear something like that coming from someone so...little. Even if its you, Hei-taichou." A look of nonchalant annoyance played across his face until it was shaken away with a movement of his face. He moved to the bookshelf to return the book he had taken out and looked back at Hei. "You don't come for charity visits. What do you want with me?" Hideki made his approach to this situation quite direct. This kind of approach was only done due to his knowledge of how his captain actually is, and everything he said wasn't an insult, but, rather, the truth in and of itself.

"Tsk. I'm not sure if I like this childish Hei that much." Hideki narrowed his eyes at Hei as he moved down the hallway. Moving over to his desk, just behind it, resting against it, he picked Datenshi from its place and slid it through his Hakama-himo along the base of his back and moved along behind Hei, catching up swiftly. Upon a few seconds of walking, Hideki pocketted his hands and strolled behind the little woman Hei. In the moments of silence Hideki thought but soon came out with a question, "So who is it you wish to see in Hueco Mundo. 'Someone have a death order?" Hideki lifted an eyebrow and tilted his head to the side as he spoke, whether Hei saw it or not wasn't really a matter, he cared not if he did or did not.

"I'm not sure if I like your face or not, but you don't see me complaining!" She called from down the hall; her hearing was still absurd. A typical childish retort from a little girl. When he caught up with her, she was still clutching her bear to her chest, but had also managed to back-mount her katana. She looked to Hideki with a frown. "It's nothing nearly as complicated as that." He responded, though giving no decent answer in the end. When Ntozake approached, her expression slid into a narrow-eyed glare, complete with pursed lips. It wasn't much that she was barely paying attention, but more that she was singing like an idiot. "The slacker appears." Without warning and barely breaking her stride, she dropped to the ground and extended her leg to the side in order to sweep-kick Ntozake's shins as she walked past. After the follow through, she hopped back to a standing position and continued down the hall. "Hideki, take those ridiculous things from her ears. Use force if you must..." Though she was serious about this, she wouldn't press the issue any time soon. Looking back, she shot Ntozake a glare. "Better late than never. Well, not for you. Come, child." By extending and curling her left pointer finger twice, she indicated for the girl to follow. She was gone within a few seconds, fading from sight with a Shunpo in order to leave quickly.
