CHAPTER 7

XoXoXo

"Damn it!" Kieli hissed slamming yet another cabinet. So far all she had found were dust covered shelves and even a random screw here and there. The spunky Espada looked over to Nora, who slowly shook her head. Yoh had already deemed this search worthless long ago and sat on the polished white counter as he watched the girls look for anything in vain.

"I give up. There's nothing here." Nora sighed joining Yoh. "But why have such a huge kitchen and not have anything to eat in it?" She questioned. She had seen some of the espadas snack on things so she knew that they could eat, so why the lack of food? It didn't make sense to her.

"There are few Espada who like the taste of human food." The trio turned to see a certain "emo-spada" standing in the door way. Nora and Yoh jumped down from the counter, giving a slight bow to Ulquiorra but Kieli just rolled her eyes still in her search.

"What do you mean?" Nora asked a little confused. "If you don't eat human food then what do you eat?"

Ulquiorra tilted his head a little as he walked towards them and shrugged. "It depends on the person. For example, Aizen-Sama is fond of tea whereas Yammy would rather eat a lesser hollow. But eating is not necessary for us Espada."

"Then why do I feel as if though I'm going to die if I don't eat something soon?" Kieli challenged, slamming the last cabinet door. The green eyed Espada pulled a pale white hand from his pocket and pointed to them.

"That would be because you are not fully Espada." He had read and re-read the reports on the three. Kieli, Nora and Yoh not only had Espada blood in them but human DNA as well. As to where Szayel had gotten this DNA from, he didn't know and didn't really care to know either.

"…What?" Yoh asked after a few seconds. "Not 'fully Espada'?" Ulquiorra nodded. "Then what are we? Are we part soul reaper too? Oh or how about human? Or animal?" Yoh's voice began to rise.

It sucked not knowing who you truly were, and this whole experiment, his life; it was too much to deal with. Hell he was created only nine days ago but looked like a human teenager.

The emotionless Espada turned and walked but as he got to the door he paused. "If you require something to eat, I suggest going to see Kaname. He may have something you could eat." And with that he left the three.

"Nora, your dad is cryptically weird." Kieli randomly said as the three of them walked back to their rooms. Kaname had kindly given the three a small meal (Apparently he was a fan of human food from a place called France).

"And yours is a fight loving moron, and Yoh's father is a pervert. Would you like to state more obvious things?" Nora chided giving a small smirk. Kieli smiled back holding in a laugh.

"What did I do to you?" Yoh asked lightly pushing the two girls. "Well, this is my stop. I bid thee good night." The tall dark headed teen over exaggerated a bow before slipping into his room.

"Loser!" Kieli called as he shut the door. The two girls continued their way down the (seemingly) never ending hallway, neither saying a word. It wasn't hard for the hyper teen to know that something was up with Nora as she folded and unfolded her hands.

"Hey." Kieli stopped turning towards Nora, concerned. "What's up? You've been acting kind of funky for a while." Nora shrugged as she looked down, studding the tiles on the floor.

"It's nothing." She lied. This whole mission Aizen wanted to accomplish; something seemed fishy about it, like he wasn't telling them everything. It seemed that everyone but them knew what was truly going on and it made her…worried.

"Oh." Kieli let it drop. She knew something was amiss but if Nora didn't want anyone to know then no one would. The two continued to walk down the hall in an awkward silence. "See ya in the morning." Kieli finally said as the neared her room. "And Nora,"

"Yeah?" Nora turned around to see Kieli halfway in her room, a look of worry etched on her face.

"You know you can talk to me about anything, right? Don't keep it to yourself." Kieli gave a slight smile then lightly closed the door. Nora sighed.

'Aizen is hiding something; something important.' Nora thought walking to her room. 'And no one is willing to tell us…' She didn't know his plan but she did know it would most likely end with the death of someone, possibly even the three of them. That though scared her more than anything.

'But why would he kill off his subjects for no reason? Are we that dispensable to him?' She shuddered at the thought. I have to find out what he's planning.
