Keta's POV
"Come on, Kitzan!" I attempt to make him let us go with Ulquiorra. "Let us go with him! We want go!" Harriel nods enthusiastically next to me, lightning bolt shaped hollow bone earing rocking back and forth in time with the movement of his head.
"I don't know," our adoptive father says, a drawn and weary look slipping through his calm mask.
I nudge my younger brother in attempt to get him to follow my lead. We give him our puppy dog eyes, and as much as I hate to admit it, Harriel's is almost as good as mine. He hasn't mastered the quavering lip yet though. Then just for the hell of it we say the magic word. "Please?"
"Fine. Go get your brother. He's supposed to leave soon."
"Yes!" We high five and run off down the hall to our my and Ulquiorra's room, the one marked with a giant bat in front of a blue crescent moon like the one on my forehead and protected by a massive amount of wards. Harriel's is next door and adorned with a phoenix and the number thirteen.
"U'ra!" Harriel calls and knocks on the door in an urgent manner. When the bat hollow opens the door, he jumps on our brother, knocking him to the ground. "Kitzan said we can go with you to catch that Orihime chick."
"Why?"
"Because we asked him, duh," I answer with a grin.
"Cute, Kathleen."
"Don't call me that."
"Why not?"
"You know I hate being called that!"
"So?"
"Don't call me that!" (This was seriously based off of an argument between my friends and me... I hate being called Kathleen)
Harriel rolls his eyes. "I'm leaving whether you guys are or not."
"Harriel, wait up!" We chase after him to the garganta Kitzan already has open. He nods to us and then we're right in front of the girl and her escorts.
Harriel's POV
"Avada Kadavra." I whisper, watching slightly satisfied as they fall to the ground dead. "Did I do well, brother?" I ask Ulquiorra who smiles at me.
"Yes, you did." He turns back to the human woman. "Please come now." She attempts to attack us but fails when he grabs her and throws her over his shoulder.
"Now, Ulquiorra," my sister sighs. "If you wish to do that, you need to marry the human."
"Or at least take her on a date," I supply.
"Both of you are infuriating!"
"We know."
Keta opens up a garganta swiftly, smiling as she does so. With her encouragement, I come up next to her, leaving our brother in the back. +We have to get them together.+ she signs, knowing that our brother has amazing hearing and understands parseltounge, so even that won't save us.
+Yeah.+ I look behind us and smile subtly, sorrow making itself known. +They'd be good together.+
+What's wrong?+
+I miss Tom.+ She frowns. +You never did tell us who Tom was. Not once in all of this time.+
+I'm sorry.+
+Don't be, little one. We still love you, even when we want to bury you alive next to Nnoria.+
+Good. But if you bury me, don't bury me with him. He smells.+ She laughs and picks me up.
"That I can do, my dark phoenix."
