Observation Duty.

[Knave]

The Arrancar stood with his hands stuffed down into his pockets as he stared up at the warehouse. It had fallen heavily into disrepair over the last thirty years. Surely the Vaizard's would have moved their base after they were exposed?

Aizen-sama did not take lightly to the side they chose.

A few humans passed by, apparently on their way home from school. The Arrancar went unnoticed.

"Hmph...I could swear some of them can see me...They lock onto the area and stare too friggin' long not to."

He turned his attention again to the warehouse. He could swear he was sensing reitsu inside of the building. He could almost picture their owners if he closed his eyes.

"Who the hell is in there?" He grumbled as he took a seat in the alley. "Aizen-sama...why did you order me to simply observe? I could have dealt with this insurrection and been back in Los Noches by now..."

Man this warehouse was big! It was empty though and pretty much nothing was in it. He could sense a little reitsu but that was mainly it. The little espada walked around the warehouse since right now Toushou was busy. He didn't feel like going to school today because, since he wanted a day off from that place. Sure it was interesting but after listening to a student that sounds like a teacher he felt like school was brainwashing people. If that was the case he didn't want to get brainwashed, he likes his brain the way it was. Well, frozen anyway since he was eating ice cream and just got brain freeze. His eyes winced at the cold sensation that he loved so much. It was strange though, most would hate it because it hurts but he actually love that feeling. Licking the vanilla ice cream he noticed that it was going to be gone soon. Should he go get another one? He did make friends with an employee. Nahh, he rather just stay here for a bit.

Walking around the place he can here his foot echoing the area. It was pretty loud too so he couldn't help but jump up and down to make louder sounds. Wow, this warehouse was awesome! It can make loud echoes, this would be a great place to stay while waiting for Toushou. After all who would go to an abandon warehouse? Well, he was one of them but he doesn't count since he wasn't anything normal. He was so strange that he had to admit that or else he'll pretty much be lying to himself. Looking around the empty place he wondered if Aizen and Gin could hide here. After all there really isn't that much people around so there was no point in it really. Soon though he heard a voice and it really surprised him to the point where he thought it might have been a shinigami.

"Who the hell is in there?"

Hey wait a minute! He knew this voice. This was Knave! What was he doing here though? He doubt that it had to do with studying humans since he was an ex-shinigami. Was he here for him? Did he wanted his second rank back? Fighting wasn't something that Kira wanted to do, not without a good reason anyway. Well it was either come out on his own or get forced out. At this rate he might as well just come out on his own and get it over with. Besides, if his lucky than maybe the guy doesn't want to fight. Still an espada that doesn't fight that's not him, that has got to be something really rare. Putting on a childish grin he closed his eyes making Gin's trademark that he copied he greeted his comrade.

"Konichiwa, Knave-kun"

[Knave]

As the reitsu neared, Knave became painfully aware of who owned it. It was that bastard who stole his rank...The unworthy Espada who had robbed him of his glory...

Espada numbero dos...Kira.

"Konichiwa, Knave-kun"

How dare he? Smiling like that...as if they were friends or something. As if they were actually on the same playing field? Knave was working for the betterment of all...he and Aizen-sama. They were doing the world that the King of Soul Society should be doing...

Rising from the pavement, Knave glared at Kira with cold, purple eyes. The number '2' charm on his Zanpakuto hit his sheath with a loud, metallic clang.

"What the hell are you doing here Kira?"

Knave's hands lay stuffed down in pockets. No matter what he wanted to do the little Espada...Aizen had forbidden him to fight while on this assignment.

He would have to...play nice.


At least for the time being.
