~~Mouthless~~


Finally, after some unknown amount of time being followed by the Hollow, he asked the question which intrigued him since he first noticed the oddity.

"Hollow." He addressed her, and she knew he was talking to her because he refered the other Hollows as 'trash'. "You don't consume any trash we come across, nor do you look in pain from not digesting any soul; don't you feel hunger?"

"Hunger . . . " Kanna repeated dully. "It's a foreign feeling. There are times where I presume I feel hunger, but such feelings are instantaneously quelled when I absorb the reiatsu in the atmosphere of Hueco Mundo. I don't eat because I don't want, I don't eat because I can't for my mask is preventing me from doing so." Furthermore, Kanna added silently, when she was alive she didn't need to eat, and she just 'lived' for 1 year or so when she had been under Naraku's command; then everything blurred and she was in the sands of Hueco Mundo.

"Strange for a Hollow." he had muttered, and he kept to himself that he evolved the same way as her for he had no mouth either.

Kanna's dull eyes just blinked. "You are strange too, then?"

She wasn't afraid he would kill her for her 'insolence'. She didn't mean anything insulting, she was just . . . intrigued; plain and simple.

And he understood this as well, but he didn't understand why he tolerated her so.

"Ah." He agreed lowly.

So far they were the only Hollows without mouth, but they didn't scorn each other for the reminder, instead they found silent and unknown comfort in not being the only ones with no mouth; maybe because it made them feel less incomplete.

Ulquiorra never noticed that he said 'we' in his question.

. . . Nevertheless, it was a bit pathetic that their social skills were too stunted they never noticed they didn't know each others' names.
