Author's Note:I hope ya'll find this chapter interesting in some way for I was pretty blank when making it and took some ideas from my friends for it since I couldn't think of anything for the time being so the credit for the beginning goes to my friends Alex and Laurie for they just kept hoping around the room with brilliant ideas—xD I just love them ^^

Capítulo Cinco—The Confessions of a True-blue Lazy Ass
Hallibel's POV
Meet this man—his name is Starrk. Starrk is the primera Espada of Aizen's arrancar army. Sounds like a Mr. Big shot, right? Well—let's just say he's the laziest guy I have ever seen. About Aizen again, all of us Espada (his elite army) are currently on the run now that our leader went down—at least we think he died for his goal, although I'm almost certain the douche either surrendered or was captured and sealed away. Yes, he was that kind of guy. We are the only two Espada (Stark and I) that have yet to leave the hideaway on our current escapade out of boredom. Although I can't really stand Grimmjow and consider him an idiot, for once I had to silently agree that I too am curious to know my past. But I have to say what's more interesting is how this lazy bones came to be an arrancar. During his human days he probably lived alone and on welfare, sleeping the majority of his days away. He probably got diabetes from too much sleep and ended up dying from it. Yeah, and the shinigami passed right over his soul, leaving him a free hollow-magnet and that's how he became to be a hollow. I still have to wonder why he's so strong, still…
"Get up, Primera, all the others have gone by now and I already let you sleep long enough." I flipped over the log from the bottom, causing him to roll backwards on the ground.
"Ugh," he rubbed his face, "why so violent, Hallibel?"
I just stared down at him, frowning.
"Alright, guess we'll head off now…" he rubbed the back of his neck and headed towards the opening on the dirt ceiling in a drunkard style. I hope this doesn't take forever; I just want to go back to Hueco Mundo, but I also don't plan on dying for a third time, either.
"You coming, Hallibel? You're the one who forced me up so let's go already…before I fall asleep again." Stark popped his head in the hole above and complained to me.
"Why are you even complaining? I thought you could care less…" I gave up on speech and just hovered up through the hole. Once above ground, Starrk and I pulled the leaf-net over the hole to conceal it.
"What a waste of energy—why couldn't someone else cover the hole?" Starrk scratched the back of his head.
"We would've had to re-cover it anyways and even uncover it because you were sleeping when the rest left." I turned around and examined our surroundings. Trees upon trees, upon trees. Wow whoever picked our hideaway was pretty smart; no one can spot us way out here in the wood. Well, besides the occasional human hunter but whatever.
"Here, Hallibel." Starrk thrust a gigai of me at my chest and looked to the sky. "You forgot to put this on."
"Oh…right," I gently pulled it out of his arms and put it on. I never did like wearing gigais—it makes me feel congested. "Come one let's go open a garganta already I want this to be done as quickly as possible." Did I just speak my mind?
"Whatever." Starrk shrugged and tore open a garganta. That was surprisingly fast…
"I'm tired." Starrk sunk down in one of the chairs set to match the desks in the library.
"We have only been looking for an hour, get a hold of yourself." I pushed another 'fail' book into its rightful slot on the shelf in front of Starrk's current domain. "You could get up and start going through newspapers and looking at the death section."
"We don't even know if you died in this particular area—do you know how long that could take?" He yawned then dropped his head on the desk and started snoring. Where is Lilynette when you need her…oh yeah—with in Starrk.
"It does not give you the right to slack off—it just means we will have to check every single community," I said while gently shaking him awake.
"Give me a break…woman," he spoke groggily whilst lolling his head from side-to-side. I walked behind him and pulled back the chair roughly (mad that he referred to me as 'woman'), causing him to slip off the table and flop onto the floor beneath the table.
"Unnnnngh," he scooted backwards from underneath the table and propped himself up into a pretzel position (or criss-cross applesauce whichever you prefer). Then something marvelous happened—Starrk started glowing and then Lilynette suddenly appeared beside him. Woo, now I don't have to worry about him falling asleep on me anymore.
"Starrk!" Lilynette pulled back her arm and punched him in the shoulder. "What did I tell you about keeping me in there for so long? Aren't you lonely?" She pouted and continued to give him weak blows to his right shoulder and arm.
"Cut it out, Lilynette, I was planning on letting you out soon anyways." He lightly pushed her and rubbed his arm.
"No you were not! You were planning on sleeping the whole adventure away I know you!" She stomped her foot and crossed her arms, determined to win this argument.
"I was starting to get lonely…" his eyes started to droop in exhaustion.
"Liar! You had this pretty lady for company you just didn't wanna bring me out because I'd ruin your precious nap times, hmph! Just admit it already, Starrk!" She screeched at him, starting to throw a tantrum.
"can you guys please take this outside? We are currently in a library—people are starting to stare." I shook my head at them and turned around, no longer wanting to be in the spotlight.
"Yeah…what she said." Starrk got up behind me and started to follow, Lilynette trailing close behind him.
"I still won…" Lilynette mumbled just barely audible.
"I know I like to sleep a lot and all, but you still have to sleep at some point, Hallibel. How do you suppose we do that?" Starrk asked behind me as we walked around the sidewalks.
"When the time comes we will take to the trees in some sort of park we do not need a comfortable setting, anything will do. And we don't have any currency to begin with." I didn't even have to turn around to see Starrk face-palming in annoyance—I just knew he was.
…
"I'm bored,' Lilynette complained for the umpteenth time just as we reached Shibuya. "And no, looking in a ton of newspapers at a ton of dead faces is nowhere near the definition of fun and entertaining." She rolled her eyes and bounced on her toes in irritation. "I got an idea! Let's see who can tap Starrk the hardest!"
"Only you would find such twisted enjoyment in that." Starrk's eyebrow twitched.
"But sadistical games are the most humorous!" She stomped by jumping up and down.
"Who the hell taught you such a word as 'sadistical' and you even know the meaning! Spit it out, who was it?" He turned around to face her, placed his hands on his hips and tapped his foot. I stopped walking and just watched the scene progress. Man, he's just like a father—who knew he could act this way?
"No! He made me promise never to tell you who he is that I learn all my no-no words fro—" she covered her mouth, realizing that she had already said too much.
"So it's a male, huh? Should've known…" he rubbed his hand down his face and sighed, "it is most likely Nnoitra…is it?" He cocked an eyebrow and looked down at Lilynette.
"Nope," she shook her head.
"Surprising—Aaroniero?"
"Nah-uh."
"Huh. Szayel?"
"Ew no way would I ever go near him."
"Well that's good to hear—smart. In fact, stay as far away as possible when he's around. Is it Grimmjow? Its gotta be him—although I doubt he would ever—I'm running out of options."
She giggled, "yeah right that guy's insane—not him."
"It has to be Gin he's the biggest pervert I know."
"Nope!"
"…Barragan?"
"You suck at guessing, Starrk—no way that guy's an old fart he wouldn't know jack shit!"
"Hey! Don't you ever say that word again!"
"What, shit?"
"Yes."
"Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, SHIT!"
"STOP IT YOUNG LADY!"
"What are you, my dad?"
"Unnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng. No…I'm not." He ran his hand through his hair and stared at the ground. "I just don't want you to end up corrupted like all the other arrancars. Well whatever—forget it. You can say what you want it is your decision." He turned around on his heel and started off towards the Shibuya Public Library with Lilynette prancing and humming behind him like a little girl. Poor Starrk, I kind of feel for him—in a totally non-sexual way, of course.
"You coming, Miss Hallibel?" Lilynette twirled around and smiled at me, walking backwards. I just nodded my head and followed behind her, hoping that we'd find at least some kind of information on our deaths.
"And that is how you search the internet." The old librarian coughed and waddled off.
"Well that took forever." Lilynette kicked her feet underneath the table behind the children section's computers and giggled deviously down at Starrk. "Starrk was already asleep within the first minute! Think I'm gonna wake him up, teehee~!"
I ignored the scream behind me after Lilynette gave Starrk a nice kick in a certain 'area' and typed in a search in that neat little 'google' site: Death of a Hallibel Tier. I was pretty surprised at how narrow the results were and the computer seemed to have already depicted my location, too. Freaky…I clicked on the first link shown which led to some weird titled thing that I can't pronounce—'wikipedia'. It was a collage of major surfing accidents in the year 1985. I didn't see how this had anything to do with me until a little 'google' rectangle in the corner of the screen popped up telling me to 'click it' to go straight to my search—so I did. It led straight to a paragraph with my name popping out in bold. It talked about some surfing accident at Decks Tokyo Beach where a shark had gotten a hold of my arm and took me down under with it. There was even a video because apparently I was in a surfing competition of the sort. Huh, so my body sleeps with the fishies? Lovely. Kind of relates to my resurrección when I put two and two together.
"Did you find anything, Hallibel?" Lilynette leaned over my shoulder.
"My death." I continued to scroll down the page with a passive look on my face, utterly bored.
"Oh…well since you found something does that mean we can go now? I'm booooooored," she whined in my ear.
"Yeah, yeah go wake Starrk up." I dismissed her by waving my hand and went to print out the pages—or rather, pages.
"With pleasure!" she saluted me and turned around to kick Starrk's chair. "Get up, Starrk! We're going now!" Starrk grumbled and lolled his head to the side to stare at Lilynette.
"I'm up."
"Please tell me why we are sleeping in a tree, it's so uncomfortable!" Lilynette kicked her feet in frustration on the second highest tree branch in a local Sakura tree.
"I could really care less just that I get to sleep. Now would you keep it down already? We don't want to get caught." Starrk leaned against the tree on the branch below Lilynette.
"Why don't you just join up with Starrk again if you're so uncomfortable," I peered down below at her from my top branch.
"No way its too cold and lonely in there!"
"It is your decision."
"Humph, fine I'll just stay here!"
"Good night," Starrk and I ended up speaking in unison and missed whatever Lilynette mumbled. Hmmm, I can only wonder what tomorrow's actually real sunshine will bring…
Author's E/N: Sorry it took so long, guys! But I was under so much stress lately and had all this hw plus practice for the Shakespeare competition (which is tomorrow!) and now musical auds suddenly came up, so that's going to be a major set back. I plan to write it a lot during classes (I'm cureently writing this during Algebra II she is going on about Quadratic Equations which I could give less of a shit about lol) so it shouldn't be that bad I'll just have less computer time is all. Look forward to chapter 6 coming soon since I already have the whole thing planned out (yippee)! Btw I didn't really know how to explain Lilynette coming out so I just made her 'magically' appear lol….
