It takes 2 days to gather her courage to do what she was about to do, while she knew that if anyone found out about this she would defienetly get scolded. Her hand reached out for the thick book on the Bookshelf and opened it revealing a crystal screen and a grey small metal pieces connected by a single wire. The Hologram computer she put together over a year ago while her brother disappeared for a month.
No, she wasn't a hacker, she just knew her way around computers better than most and this skill was discovered on a particular day in School at the Computer Lab. Hacking. The word itself was frowned upon on, but if she was going to find this 'Kugo Ginjo' she would have to rely on her secret hobby to do so. No, Kurosaki Yuzu didn't hack into anything, but she knew she was able to and it was too easy that she made herself cringe.
Otou-san would defienetly scold her.
It takes her a few days to gather minor information about that man, while there was next to nothing about him she knew how he looked like, Ulquiorra knew something had been bothering her, but for safety purposes they did not see each other and while on the phone. He always, always asked if something happened because she was being strange and thanking kami for not having on front of him because she would spill everything and even he would not go easy on her for doing such reckless decision.
Focus. Kugo Ginjou. Focus.
Yuzu slapped her cheeks and looked up at the other bed where Karin was peacefully asleep the only light illuminating the room was her hologram computer, from the grey metal piece came the hologram screen and the crystal was the keyboard, this was her pride and joy; her creation. On the black screen hundreds of codes began to appear and her fingers began to move faster than they ever had.
"Mh…" Karin shifted and Yuzu felt her heart thunder in her chest, she nearly slapped herself for typing the wrong code and stopped breathing as Karin continued to shift. Her eyes widened in panic as someone began to trace her and she canceled the connection bringing a pillow to her face to scream. Yuzu shut the computer off and tucked the book under her bed, burying herself into the sheets.
Lesson of the day: No hacking at home.
A blonde boy with green eyes and black clothes, a long coat being his trademark with a hat on his head walked out of a room and turned to the man with black slicked back hair and reddish eyes. "Kugo someone hacked into the system last night," the man hummed intrigued.
"What are you doing about? Isn't that your specialty, Yukio?" a girl with magenta hair sneered.
"As I was saying, our system was hacked into and I have no trace into finding the hacker, but I have a location the signal came from: Karakura Town," Yukio informed, the man; Kugo Ginjo perked up and a smirk formed on his lips.
"So, she's looking for me huh?"
"What?"
"Nothing, keep an eye on the computers and find me anything that you can get on it," the blonde gave a nod, returning to the room as Ginjo leaned back against the sofa and his smirk widened, 'I didn't really think she'd come to find me' he thought and felt a rush, 'this is going to be interesting' he earned suspicious glances as he stood with his hands in his jacket he left the room.
The game just got started.
Yuzu sat on the room with pink colored walls and purple curtains, a violet colored bed spreads and pillow casings, she was in Midori-chan's house right now borrowing her computer for a School work. It wasn't a lie per say, she was working not just for anything school related. What she didn't know was that Midori had gotten back from getting their drinks and snacks, the black haired 13 year old frowned as she looked at her childhood friend's back and held the need to sigh.
Karin had a sadistic hobby of beating boys up and Yuzu had a hobby of hacking. Really; those two would be the death of her someday, while she knew they weren't bad people as the public thought of them. They just needed to find things better to do, so as she stood watching several windows open on her computer screen she waited a few moments 'but that look…' Yuzu looked like she was desperately trying so find something.
She would let it slide just this once so she silently walked back downstairs waiting a minute and walked a bit noisily upstairs, Yuzu jumped and she hit the top of her head with the bed then there came another signal. She closed the windows and shut the computer off before slumping against the Desk, she would never ever do this again once she found that man. "What were you doing?" Midori asked with a smile.
"N…Nothing," Yuzu gulped, her friends was upset she knew that and she was certain that Midori-chan knew what she had been doing. "A…are those amanatto?" she asked approaching her childhood friend and reached for the beans when a hand caught hers, a death glare was what she received "I'm so sorry~!" she cried trembling.
Never hack at Midori's house.
"Kugo someone hacked into the mainframe last night," Yukio informed making the man perk up, "the signal came from the northern area of Karakura Town,"
"What about the one before?"
"It was the Eastern area,"
"I see, keep digging," so she had gotten into the mainframe and was escaping Yukio, what an interesting girl.
Yuzu flopped down on the seat, she was in an Internet Café this time, right here she would be able to navigate in the net without having a heart attack. Anyone would think that hacking into the mainframe of a potentially dangerous person just to find him was risky, she thought it was suicidal. But this time without interruption she was able to trace the IP Address and the exact location.
The location turned out to be Naruki City, on the outer area of the city and she thought it to be risky for someone to be in such location, Yuzu cheered jumping from her seat and then—"What are you doing?" a familiar monotone voice asked making her jump and whirl around.
"Ulquiorra!?"
"What are you doing here?" she shrunk back against his piercing stare, she did not answer him nor did she give him any clue to what she was doing in Naruki City. Yuzu wouldn't say a word, not even if he tortured her by eating her favorite homemade creamcheese pie on front of her, she could no longer watch, "must you be so stubborn? Speak at once," she shook her head, he ate the last piece and she whimpered.
"I'm sorry,"
"Why are you apologizing?"
"Just this once…I want to do something on my own, if I need help you'll be the first I'll call. I promise," he said nothing for a few moments, she didn't have the courage to look at him in the eye and kept her gaze trained on the table. He stood and she gasped looking up, "Ulquiorra-kun I…" he gave her a cold look that made her flinch.
"Do as you wish, girl," and somehow that close bond they had suddenly felt so distant and unreachable.
