Aspects of Lust (OPEN)

[Diaveras]

Elena spun around on the edge of the tower she stood, dancing as a means to pass the time. The whole of Las Noches was visible from this height, the mighty artificial blue sky stretching across the above area. The tower she stood on was where she took residence along with her okaa-san, Maeter, and her fellow fraccion of her master. Her dance almost looked ritualistic as she threw her head back and rose her arms to the sky as if calling to some divine being existing on a plane far above them. She would perform a few flips, curling up her legs then stretching them again when they would come down once more. She was singing a song to herself, a song she had heard in the human world. It had the most odd name, EXEC_FLIP_ARPHAGE./, regardless the song in and of itself was so beautiful in the beginning. Then rose to become something else, something one would expect to hear when watching a large battle. "WAS YEA RA, WAS YEA RA!" She sang these lyrics from the song as she stood in place and raised her arm above her head, her free hand over her heart. Her eyes were shut as she did this and moved on to the next set of lyrics. "SAax tlirs fawEE XAarS tli VaYEE, SAax tlirs fawEE XAarS tli VaYEE" She sang the strange words, what language they were she was not sure but the words flowed in an odd manner that just made her want to sing them all them more.

A feeling of adrenaline was in her as she remembered the music of the song and the picking up of the lyrics. The adrenaline rose high as she continued to sing and dance around the top of this tower. Moving as quickly and with strong movements so as to work off the adrenaline she was getting. Jumping and spinning her entire body was her main method of quieting her screaming muscles, asking to do something. Asking to do anything really as the adrenaline kept rising to its peak. Perhaps she would be up here for a while after all. She was enjoying herself as she continued to dance freely, repeating some lyrics though ones that seemed to go together well enough that one would not be able to tell she was just repeating them. At one point she rose off the ground and performed a long back flip, hitting the ground she spun on her heel. Spinning quickly then using the momentum to launch into a cart wheel. She would perform a last flip and land on her knees just at the edge of the tower. She was panting now but smiling as she felt the adrenaline dying down. It wasn't a cool morning, and this had caused her to sweat a little. Regardless she enjoyed herself quite a bit from this session. She lay back now, her legs bent backwards to her sides. A position that most would not be able to take as she rested a bit. The dragons on her shoulders were not moving today. It had been a few days without them. She wanted to interact with them but she could not just ask for them to wake up or anything. For now she thought of hunting down an affection and spending some time with whomever she may choose.

[Thorns]

Maboroshi's hands spun over the Harmonium's keys, playing it with his usual flourishing pride. It wasn't his usual hymn, it was a new piece that he'd learned from a few talks with human-sympathetic arrancars. He knew the very lines that had to start it.
"Oh, oh, oh, oh,oh,oh. So, shall we start?" he said, his hands flying over the keys. It was a song called "Daughter of Evil" all about a corrupt leader's fall from grace. He was about to start singing along to it, when a cute young voice came out from apparently nowhere. He could instantly tell who it was, his younger partner Elena Jacolleni, the obsession. He decided to not start singing and instead use her voice for his inspiration. He didn't know what song she was singing, but he knew that the contrast made him happy to hear. It was the true sign of beauty, two songs that were so different that they were brilliant.

Eventually, the piece finished and he decided to pay a visit to his young ally. Pulling his coat on, he walked out of his room, coat flowing behind him as he walked. Today seemed to be a day of differences it seemed, as he was too interested in getting to talk to Elena that he forgot to button up his coat. Eventually he arrived in the tower, perching on the ledge just before the stairs. He decided he wanted to give a flashy entrance, and so he sang with his perfect voice. It's tune was from another song from the artist that she was singing along to earlier, so he assumed she'd have heard it. a song called "regret message"
"In a tiny little tower, in the night that never ends
A young girl stands all alone
By this endless night there was a
tradition that forever had been known

Sing your love a song of hope
and let it out for all to hear,
if you let it out of your heart and into the world
Your love will come from far or near.

sing aloud, song of hope, and never know despair
with her message loud and clear
for under the same endless moon
it will never disappear." He finished, his face lighting up with a gentle smile. Hiku's voice in his head was laughing, evidently finding his entrance more comic than anything else.

[Diaveras]

Elena had closed her eyes as she laid on the ground. Lifting her hip so as to easily move her legs and stretch them out. Her arms would rest as well as they stretched out. She let out a deep breath and relaxed her body. The few beads of sweat, she could feel them as they travelled down her neck to the ground she was resting on. She had a small feeling of yearning in her but this would die down soon.

To hear that voice appear behind her. She looked, what was from her perspective, up to see the upside down image of Maboroshi singing as he came into the area. She smiled, happy to see the other fraccion. She had affections for the other fraccion of her master, Maeter, they were among her strongest affections not far from becoming obsessions. She kicked herself up now, her body rolling back, twisting so that when was on her feet again she would be facing Maboroshi. Then she would launch herself at him and embrace him by his neck. "Mabii!" She shouted as she brushes her hair against his neck. "It's good to see you. What are you doing up here?" She then held off a giggle. "Did you come just to see me? How sweet!" she said as she tightened her hold on him and leaned her body into his.

[Thorns]

Maboroshi leaped off of the wall, his boots making a wooden noise as they impacted with the floor of the tower. He watched his young friend's prowess in acrobatics before she turned to face him.
"hey Ellie...." he didn't get to finish as she launched herself at him. He made sure to catch her in his arms, wrapping around her in a hug.
"Aww...... somebody's got a girlfriend." Hiku's voice in his head said, mockingly. Pushing his hair completely down over his eye, he completely blocked off Hiku's view, causing him to grumble a complaint which Oshi ignored. For now, it seemed like he was going to be able to retain control of his body.
"Did you come just to see me? How sweet!"
"Of course I did, did you think I'd miss a chance to get to see you, Ellie?" he laughed, smiling. That was when he felt her lean her body against him and he blushed bright red, glad that she couldn't see his face.
"Ooh, you're enjoying this, aren't'cha Oshi? her body against yours? You pervert." Hiku sniggered, making fun of him as he felt flustered.
"SHUT UP HIKU, IT'S NOT LIKE THAT." Oshi cried out, obviously frustrated.

Maboroshi and Elena had been friends from the day that Elena had started working for Maeter. Finally, Oshi had had someone to talk to that wasn't only thinking about sex. He had become the older brother type to her, and he was always worried about how his interaction with Hiku affected her. He'd never admit it, but he'd started having a little bit of a crush on her a long time ago. Hiku, being able to read his mind, would often tease him about this and go out of his way to do his "work" infront of Elena, letting her see her 'big brother' doing horrible things to people. Oshi hated his body for doing these things, but he always worried about what would happen if Elena found out that he fancied her. His body-sharing problem wasn't the most accommodating when it comes to relationships.

[Diaveras]

Elena giggled at his words as she pulled her head back to look into Oshi's eyes. "I'm glad you did. I was lonely up here." She looked to both her shoulders. "My babies aren't awake today." A small frown grew on her face when she said this. "It's been a few days, I know they're okay but it just feels so lonely when I think they aren't responding to me." Her eyes moved back to stare directly into Oshi's now. "So I am glad Onii-san came here." she was showing her innocent side, though she wasn't entirely innocent. Oshi knew about how she had many people she admired but she's never told him about those she's been obsessed over in the past. But it didn't matter so much they came and went and there wasn't anyone she obsessed over at current. "Oh! Sing to me!" She said as she pulled away from him. "I'll dance to your song! That'll be fun!" she said excitedly.

[Thorns]

Maboroshi looked at her, his eyebrow raised. He was never entirely sure what her little dragon things did or meant. Were they a part of her? a pet? He was never entirely sure. But he knew they meant a lot to her. When she looked at him, he blushed obviously. He knew that he would have looked a little bit silly as he blushed, but he couldn't help it. His emotions were so in a state of fluster that he could barely control the wall between his mind and Hiku's, and he knew that if he slipped any further he'd lose himself to Hiku's control. He couldn't let that happen, not when it was only him and Elena up here. He had to force himself back into control.

Sitting on the banister he looked at her and asked, honest curiosity in his voice.
"You want me to sing my song?" He thought over his entire mental catalogue of songs. trying to think of one that could be thought of as "his song" and to be honest, almost none of it was dancing music. He was a choir boy, he could sings Hymns from here to the promised land and they still wouldn't have something that could be danced to. He decided to ask
"What do you mean my song? What do you want me to sing to you?"

[Diaveras]

She moved her finger to her lips now as she looked down, appearing quite curious. "Well, whatever comes to mind. If it can't be danced to. well." She looked back up to him with a large smile on her face. "I'll just listen to your voice, then. I really love it, you know." She giggled lightly after saying this. "Onii-san's voice is one of my favourite voices, after all. Maybe second only to Okaa-san's" this meant Maeter's voice. Indeed she had enjoyed the woman's voice quite a bit, simply from listening to it. "So then. out of all the men you ahve the best voice!"

[Thorns]

(the japanese version of this song can be found here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pb6fSiMBbv4)

Maboroshi felt truly glad to be able to be complimented by Elena , and decided something to sing. it was hard to dance to but should at least apply to the girl's tastes. He started off singing, somewhere between innocent and gothic.

"Deeper, deeper, you come into the forest, pulled by a voice so sweet
Come on, come on, you want to go even deeper in to meet
Quickly, quickly, come as fast as your little legs can run to the dark " he moved quickly, appearing behind Elena' s ear before she could have noticed that he had moved.

"Come on, come on, it'll be so fun, let's play a game, on your mark!" he said, his voice a mix of false cruelty and manic laughter. It was obviously forced for the song, as he grabbed her hands and held it from behind, seeming playful

"This cinnamon stick is a wonderful magic stick
Imagine that you're drowning in the sweetest syrups
Dreams relieve of you of problems and sorrows that make you weep
Because they are heaven-made, have one and fall asleep " he twirled her around, spinning her halfway on the spot, before grabbing her hands in his and looking as if he was about to start waltzing with her.

"But they're only good if you are surrounded by hallucinations
When you take the blindfold off, there's no more pleasant creations
You will see that you hands are tied and bound, dragging at my heels
You've already given up, don't take it back, it's a deal

aa..

So, right away....." Oshi was too caught up in the emotions of the song and had let his guard down. This was made worse by the fact that he was holding hands with his crush. He could feel himself starting to swap controllers, and struggled to continue, knowing he was fighting a losing battle. Then, words that were clearly not his own came out of his mouth, in a much darker voice.
"Entrust yourself to me..." His hands dropped hers, and clamped gently around her face, not hurting but stopping her from seeing what was going on.

"Sometimes we see the shine of doubt flickering on the double edged knife
A faultless love does not exist, there's no perfect feeling in this life
Through a hole in the blindfold, there was something I thought I'd never see
Lantern shadows that grew at night unconciously frightened me " he screamed slightly, falling to the floor, the pain of trying to push Hiku back through his mind was ripping him apart. Even after all this, he finally lost his stability and his eyes darkened, a sadistic smile went on his face. His voice cracked fully and seemed absolutely insane and horrific.
"My, my, you bad girl, how dare you wake up so early
If your blindfold comes off, then should I blind you instead?"

[Diaveras]

The song was starting and, well she wasn't sure of a way to dance to it, in all honesty. So it would seem she would just be listening. The lyrics were a bit odd, though. She wasn't expecting a song like this. She hadn't realised he was moving when his voice came to her ear. She moved up an inch a bit startled but resigned to listening to his voice, this close it didn't matter much what he was singing. She closed her eyes and let the sounds flow in clearly and vividly. She wanted to memorise every note he was hitting. A small gasp escaped her when his hand came to her own. she looked to him out of the corner of her eye.

She felt like blushing as she was pulled into a twirl, she was starting to move in to begin waltzing. But he then placed his hands on her face. she wasn't sure if it was surprise or not but she felt her face starting to warm a bit with. She couldn't see now. Was this just part of the act? still she seemed to feel her heart beat once in that moment. Then she jumped when Oshi screamed. Turning quickly to look at him, his eyes... changed. still his singing resumed. she took a few steps back from him. something was different now. It worried her slightly. Her expression seeming analytical as she watched every detail of him now.

[Thorns]

Pushing his way to his feet, Hiku stood there infront of Elena, before bending over and looking close into her face. Pushing his hair back from his eye, he revealed his hollow mask with the still brightened eye underneath it, showing that Oshi was still around somewhere.
"This is your girlfriend, Oshi? I don't know why you never choose the big boobed ladies. What is there to gain from this little squirt? Wait.... she looks like a little kid and you're a catholic. Well done, you just became a stereotype." he poked her in the breast, noticing how small and underdeveloped they were.
"Get the hell off of her, you bastard!" an ethereal voice seemed to come out of nowhere, much more similar to the normal Oshi voice. For a second, Hiku was just stunned. He'd never managed to use their Reiryoku as a loud speaker. Maybe emotion was the key, he didn't know, but there was plenty of time for experimentation later on.
"and what if I don't, eh Oshi? What if I wanted to sample her before you got there?" Hiku asked, a perverted smile crossing his face before grabbing his head and screaming in pain
"What the fuck Oshi? What the absolute fuck?" He cried out, talking to the disembodied voice.
"Get the HELL off of her, and the HELL Out of my body, Hiku." Hiku spat on the floor, blood and saliva mixing together, obviously pissed off. Their internal conflict was clearly ripping their body apart.
"Make me, Priest-boy."

[Diaveras]

She jumped at the poke. Putting a foot back and her arm over her chest, a blush on her face a she stared at him with a bit of an angry expression. "O-Oshi!" It felt weird to get poked like that, especially from him of all people. His eyes changed colors and then he pokes her chest. Just what was wrong with him all of a sudden. she gave a firm slap to his face. "What's wrong with you all of a sudden! Snap out of whatever this is!" She said as she grabbed him by the shoulders. She pulled her arm out of the way when he spat... and out came some blood. She didn't hit him that hard did she? No. But what was happening to him? "Oshi!"

[Thorns]

Hiku was slapped across the face by Elena, not hard enough for him to recoil but it still stung slightly. He knew that Oshi had also felt the pain, but that's what they got for sharing the same body. Hiku grabbed her arm that she slapped him with, and tightened his grip, almost strong enough to break it.
"Bitch, you have NO idea who the fuck you're messing with, do ya you half-pint beansprout midget!" He said, all signs of insanity buried under his sheer anger and rage. There were VERY few people who were either brave or stupid enough to hit Hiku, and they tended to be ripped to shreds shortly afterwards. However, he started to notice that his arm wasn't doing what he told it to. He wanted to tighten his grip even further, break her in half, but his hand stayed the same. If anything, it started to weaken.

Dropping her arm, Hiku moved backwards, almost at the wall of the tower. If he wasn't careful he'd end up falling out of one of the massive windows. He grabbed his head, moaning with huge amounts of pain.
"Oshi, you're going to KILL us if you continue to do this!" he moaned, for once not angry but still agonized.
"I don't bloody care, you stay away from her. STAY BACK!" said the ethereal voice. It would have been clear for Elena to hear the voice, but it would have seemed to have come out of the very walls of the tower itself.
"F-fine, just bloody stop this! It's hurting you as much as it is me!"
"D-d-does it matter? At least you're not hurting anyone else. Now, give me my body back, Hiku." Oshi's disembodied voice panted. It would have been clear to hear how badly hurt he was. His body was around two steps away from ripping down the middle at this point, even if he showed no signs of damage on the surface. Hiku sighed, his breathing very patchy. He nodded, putting his arm on the wall.

[Diaveras]

Her arm was hurting from his grip. This wasn't him, this was in no way Oshi. this was someone else entirely and whoever this was, she already felt like he should go away. Her arm was released and the fighting between the two personae was more than obvious as they yelled at each other, audibly. Their body was tearing apart from this? Then there was something she could do. Though this would be risky.

she pulled her skirt up to get to her dagger and held it in her hand in front of her. Whispering the release phrase. "I will make you mine, Ubbia." The dagger would vanish and her wings would grow, the dragon heads would move and grow as well, though her favourite part of her transformation was the crimson halo that rained bits of light down to her head. she shut her eyes tight and bit her lip. Trying not to look at him else her instincts would activate and overwhelm her to do something she would most certainly regret. She quickly activate the Light that Shines Down and the spheres appeared above her, the field they projected would spread far enough to encompass most of the room, thus putting Oshi in it and thus his boy would begin to heal. On top of this she activated I Perish, Therefore I Love. launching a sphere up which would quickly disipate, one of the five spheres above shattering as well, before an energy would fall upon Oshi and heal him further.

[Thorns]

Mabohiku had fallen to his knees, obviously on the edge of losing consciousness. Their internal struggle was too much. He could barely manage to stay awake, and staying on his feet was too much. All of a sudden, Elena went into released form.
"I will make you mine, Ubbia." she said, before having her dragons turn into a pair of wings, and she closed her eyes. He knew why she did this, she didn't want her instincts to take over and for her to want him. For once, Hiku felt moved by this sign of affection. Maybe it was just the healing energy he could feel race through his body, or maybe it was Oshi's influence on the body, but he felt content. Oshi used that moment of contentment to push in, and Hiku knew he didn't have long to stay in control.

"Oi, Midget." He called over, struggling to his feet. Despite Oshi trying to hold back every movement of their body's legs, Hiku still made it across the room to Elena, standing infront of her. He moved his hand out and quickly slapped her across the face.
"That's for slapping me earlier." He said, before grabbing her head and forcing her to look at him
"And this is because your 'brother' wouldn't have the courage." He said, before leaning in and kissing her on the lips, holding their embrace for a while as his eyes started to change.

_____________________

Inside Maboroshi's mind, Hiku's body slowly started to reappear.
"Hiku, what do you think you're..."
"We can argue later, Priest-boy. I'll see you when you sleep tonight." He said, pushing Oshi back. Oshi's body started to disappear, taking control of the body
"HIKU!!" He cried out in anger, before he was completely gone

______________________

His eyes were changing, becoming full of light again. This was when Oshi found Elena's lips pressed against his and blushed, but still didn't pull away. He didn't know how she would react, but for a moment he didn't care. This was what was happening now, the future could wait.

[Diaveras]

She heard the rude persona call to her, using the word midget to refer to her. She opened her eyes to look at him, seeing him struggling to walk over. What that person wanted, she could only assume what it was. Unfortunately she couldn't move because of the field around her. She didn't want to lose to her instincts by bringing down the field. So she let him do as he was doing. Her cheek stung from the slap to it, the spheres above sort of faded a bit from it but this only lasted a second. Placing her hand over it before turning to face this man. however he took care of that by grabbing her face in his hands.

Then.... their lips met. A bright blush appeared as her face seemed to heat up. Did Oshi really have feelings for her? either way she didn't try to pull away, especially not when she saw his eyes change back to normal. She didn't look at him she closed her eyes and let her arms hang at her sides for a second. Just wondering what to do, he didn't pull away. Most likely just as dumbfounded as herself. So she put her arm around him. She didn't feel like she wanted to pull away but she didn't know what else to really feel aside from undisturbed. Far more awkward things had happened though, maybe not to her but in the world. Thinking this, if he really felt that way. There wasn't really something wrong here then was there? her free hand went to the back of his head and pulled him closer. She felt good about this, actually. It wasn't something that bothered her, she felt good when she decided it wasn't that weird or wrong. It's not like they were actually brother and sister, after all.

[Thorns]

For a moment, there was a horrible soul-crushing disappointment as Ellie just stood there, unmoving. It wasn't as bad as if she'd pulled away in disgust, but maybe she was just too shocked to be able to move. He was about to pull away and apologize, blame it all on Hiku. After all, Hiku was a pervert and it would have seemed highly realistic that it had been all his fault. Hell, it actually WAS all his fault. However, then his heart stopped. She put her arm around him, stopping him from pulling away. SHE WANTED THIS. He wrapped his arm around her back, strengthening their embrace. He felt her hand go to the back of his head as she pulled him closer.
"You're welcome." Hiku said in his head, obviously trying not to disturb the new couple's first kiss. Oshi found his body acting on its own and he knew somehow that it wasn't Hiku messing with him, it was his body going on autopilot. his tongue flitted into Elena's mouth, rubbing against her tongue. He could taste her...

___________________________________
80 YEARS AGO

The moon was shining over the Hueco Mundo desert, but when wasn't it? Maboroshi had recently been forced into a fight with a group of insane hollows, but after releasing into resurrection he'd killed them within seconds. It worried him that there were hollows that still weren't respecting the authority of the arrancars and it truly worried him that he had been forced to kill potential helpers. At the moment, he was in released form, his thorn tendrils sticking out underneath him as he stood, acting like a propeller and allowing him to walk much faster over the desert. His face was crawling with smaller versions of the tendrils, not yet acting but ready to strike if need be.

[Diaveras]

She was panting heavily, having just fought through a group of hollows to get to a certain one, a certain one she that she wanted more to kill than the others. But where had her love gone? Looking around it was not in sight any more. She felt it, though. Far away but she felt it. Grinning, she leaned forward and put a hand to the sand below. taking a position as if she were about to start running. she pulled herself forward and kicked back with her feet, launching across the sand in the direction of the hollow she was going to kill. She flew over the sands, the air rushing past her and the set of heads upon her shoulders. The dragons had put their heads down as she flew and the lights fallnig fro mthe halo could be seen making a short and feint trail behind her.

[Thorns]

Slowly being lowered to the ground, Oshi put his hand over his eye and handed over to Hiku. He'd heard there was something unpleasant in this area and Hiku was always more advanced at fighting than he was. Besides, he could feel Hiku's blood lust and didn't want to have to have another fight over who was in control. His eye darkening, Hiku woke up and started to walk on his own two feet
"So, Priest-boy, you're sure that bastard is here? I wanna pay him back for Krea". One of the "friends" of the pair had recently been on a scouting mission for Las Noches and had been slaughtered by a rogue hollow. He wanted revenge for her.
"That's what the other arrancars said."
"And you trust those idiots?"
"Better than having no-one to turn to. Now, shush. We'll give our position away by talking."

Finally, he managed to find the hollow, and pointed his finger out, like a pistol
"Hey, you!" Hiku said, causing the hollow to turn around. "Say hi to the pits of hell for me." flicking his finger, one of his thorns quickly moved from his back and stabbed the hollow through the head, impaling his brain and killing him on the spot.
"Tell them Krea sent ya." He looked up as he heard the sound of wings burst out of the ether and he looked up, seeing a young girl flying with wings
"Is that an arrancar or a rogue shinigami?" Hiku asked Oshi, feeling happy enough after dealing with the hollow that he needn't fight again. Oshi had always been better at sensing people out than he had.
"I think it's an arrancar, but don't let your guard down. She seems feral."

[Diaveras]

Elena stood there, staring as she saw another predator take her love. Her prey. Her instincts told her that this person would need to die, owing her that for killing the one that she wanted! Would an approach be adequate of a move to take? Learn the enemy before you attack the enemy. The dragons on her shoulders shifted slightly, their mouths opening no more than a mere centimeter as they began to charge a power. She descended to the ground and placed her hand into the sand, in a position ready to move out of harms way as she glared at the arrancar before her.

[Thorns]

The arrancar landed on the ground infront of them in the sand. The strange things on her shoulders that looked like dragons were shifting, and opening their mouth. A small light glowed out of them, it was clear that they were getting ready to attack. But why? What had they done to her? Was it something to do with the hollow they had just dispatched. The thing that confused them the most was the fact that she hadn't attacked yet. Hiku obviously assumed the worst
"Priest-boy, she's charging an attack. We have to deal with her NOW, before she has the chance to lay a blow on us." he said, as in apology for what he was about to do.
"Don't attack yet, Hiku. She could be useful." Oshi said warningly.
"Don't tell me what to do!" Hiku snapped back, before raising his hand up in the air, and chanting a few lines.
"HIKU WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING???"
"The blood of the father drained by the servants of the son, attacking at the dawn for those who don't comprehend. Technique 2: Crucis!"

As his words finished, large series of thorns from his back crawled out and shot forwards rapidly, aiming for her limbs.
"STAND DOWN, HIKU. SHE'S NOT HOSTILE YET."
"The word is yet, Oshi. I'm not taking any chances."

[Diaveras]

The girl saw the incoming series of vines. Instantly she sonidoed back, of course they would still be shooting at her, she simply gave time to fully charge her attack. her motuh oepned wide as energy gathered in front of it. She landed on her feet as she fired the oscillating torrent of energy that would rip the vines apart, and move in the direction of her current attacker. They may mistake this for a cero, and try to block it which would be quite impossible due to the nature of the beam. Again she used sonido to launch forward just behind the beam. When it cleared her opponent would see her at close range. Roaring as she threw her hand forward, bearing sharp claws to tear him apart.

[Thorns]

The girl sonidoed back from Hiku's attack, at which Hiku sighed with annoyance
"this bitch is fast." he muttered to himself, before watching his vines getting blasted off. Throwing himself out of the way of the beam, Hiku moaned with annoyance
"Why didn't you ever let me find out how to block Ceros properly. All the other arrancar can do it!"
"Because we have a shield. We don't need to learn how to block with our body. Now, where the hell is she?" Oshi asked, before hearing a noise behind the pair. Hiku heard it too, and stepped out of the way, watching her slam a sharp clawed fist towards where he had been a second before. Forgoing the incantation, Hiku raised his hand up quickly, before muttering the cast word
"Crucis." and trying the same attack the second time. He didn't want to kill this arrancar, but he wasn't just going to let her try to kill them either. He had no particular urge to die today.

[Diaveras]

Elena had to respond with I Perish, Therefor I Love. blood could be seen being drawn right our of her body as the energy built up into a sphere that shot up from where she was. She moaned in pain at this but the attack would at the very least sever the vines before they extended to her, the energy from her attack raining down at her opponent. A small amount of energy would shoot off her, too small to notice for most, and towards her opponents, should it connect he wouldn't be harmed or anything but there would be an intersting seal on whatever part of his body gets hit, if any. Still she moved back from him now and kept her eyes, all technical six of them, open for any signs of attack from every direction around her.

[Thorns]

Oshi cried out and forced their body to move, collapsing onto the desert sands and letting the energy move just past them.
"Oshi? What's wrong??"
"She's got attacks that aren't visible. I don't know how many I'll be able to detect."
"YOU WHAT? YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE GOOD AT SENSING STUFF!"
"I know, she's good. She's VERY good. One more shot like that and we're screwed." Hiku forced himself to his feet
"Well, we'll just have to end this before she can do it. You thinking what I'm thinking?"
"I hope not. I'd like to stay innocent, thank you very much."

Moving his hands in a series of signs, his face started getting engulfed by the vines, only allowing the eyes outside of it.
