Szayel laughed warmly at Nel's reaction.
"Just make sure you don't drop it, or it'll get covered in sand."
Szayel shook his head and made a pouty frown.
"Sandy lollipops are never very much fun."

Ulquiorra refused to say anything towards Szayel as he kept walking through the sandy plains. As he heard about how nice he was being towards Nel he stopped and turned his head over slightly towards them giving both of them a quick emotionless stare then turning away once more and proceeding towards the forest of menos.

Nel watched the man with the sad eyes walk away from her and this new man with the lollipop shoved halfway into her wide mouth.
"Heyyyyy aaaarrreee uooo oooinnn?" She yelled at him still trying to get him to talk to her. She looked up at the man who'd given her the candy with wide eyes and pulled the pop from her mouth with a resistant such. "Where's he going?" She repeated.

Ulquiorra looked at the young girl as he had a seemingly emotionless expression on his face. "You do not need to know..." he said quietly still making his way across the white sandy plains.

“You mean Ulquiorra-sama?”
Szayel blinked and swung his head back in Ulquiorra's direction, His luxuriant pink hair swayed dramatically with the motion before settling perfectly back around his face.
His calculating amber eyes rested on Ulquiorra's slowly receding back for only a moment before he formulated a guess.
"Well, judging from the direction he's going, I’d assume he's headed for the forest or Menos. But as to his reason for heading there, your guess is as good as mine. He keeps to himself."
Szayel crossed his arms in front of him under his white travelling cloak as a gust of cold wind fluttered around them, scattering white sand playfully in the air. The wind in this desert of endless night was always cold, and seemed to pierce right through Szayel's multiple layers of clothing, chilling his thin frame to the bone.

Large teal eyes watched as the man with the sad eyes dissapeared in the distance.
"Ulqui...ohra?" Nel attempted to repeat his name to herself but fail, giving way to her childish lisp and speach impediments. "Will he be okay?" She asked the charming man.

Szayel couldn't stop the laugh that rocked his thin frame.
"Oh, don't you worry about him."
Szayel grinned deviously and made sure Uliquiorra was out of earshot before leaning closer to Nel to whisper,
"He may look a little emo and girly, but he's the fourth most powerful Espada, so he can take care of himself."
Szayel straightened back up and grinned, using his right index and middle fingers to push his glasses back up his nose.
"There are very few things that could even cause him to break a sweat."

The mans words confused the youngster but she only continued to eat the lollipop and watch the man with the sad eyes dissapear.
"Awww," she began to moan with discontent suddenly, "Now what Nel supposed to do?" She asked herself out loud forgetting someone was still standing behind her.

Ulquiorra walked completely away from the two talking as he finally made his way to the entrance to the forest of menos. He looked up towards the tall trees as he didnt seem to be anywhere afraid or amazed on how tall they were. He walked inside keeping his hands in his pockets. Suddenly all that was heard were menos making strange noises getting near.

Nel stood there blank faced for a long time.

Szayel smiled and shrugged.
"Do? Well that is entirely up to you. You could try following him, although... that could be hazardous to your health. Or if you don't want to wander the desert anymore, I'm sure you'd be welcome to explore las noches."
Szayel stretched and covered a small yawn with his white gloved hand.
"I on the other hand, am most definitely heading back to that white palace. I believe I've had my fill of walking for today, There's nothing better than an evening stroll in the desert of endless night to get you good and tired."
Szayel turned on his heel and began slowly walking back to the palace.
"Either way, I do hope you enjoy your lolli."

As Ulquiorra walked through the forest, time after time meno grandes kept showing up, making their strange growling noise and firing ceros at him. The mindless menos didnt seem to care what they attacked, never did Ulquiorra take out both his hands from his pockets to oblierate them, since all he needed was one hand. As he ventured around the forest he looked around feeling a strangly similar reiatsu to that of an espada's and he makes his way there.

Nel stood in a whirl wind of sand for a moment then decided she wasn't yet finished annoying the man with the sad eyes.
"HEEEY ULQUIO-HA!!!" She called after him, her midgeted legs carrying her as fast as she could make them. Nel was unaware of the dangers within the forest and had little regard for the menos that howled at her as she darted threw the twisted morbid trees. "COOOOOMMMEEE BAAAAAAAACK!"

Hearing Nel from a distance, Ulquiorra didnt bother turning around and just seeing who came after him, even though he had a good guess who it might be already. He kept walking ahead pass the black tall trees as he put his hands back in his pockets. He followed on his path trying to find where he had noticed the familar reiatsu from.

Stopping for a moment to catch her breath Nel began talking to no one but herself.
"That guys fast!" She panted. "Nel's gonna have-ta run super fast to catch him... here I go!" Using a slight bit of her spiritual energy she was nearly flash stepping as she darted threw the wooded area until all of a sudden she smacked into her target. "Mr. Ulquio-ha." She said with a pout to her voice and lips, "Your rude!" Her words were blunt and her attitude was souring.

As Ulquiorra was hit on his back he nearly fell forward turning around with a slightly shocked experssion once again. Her speeed....it hasnt changed much....but her power is still of an infant's. he thought to himself as he sighed a bit turning back around. "Why do you contiue to follow me?.......I thought I told you to leave." he said not moving this time, nor looking at her.

Honey eyes glare out from her cave. She was disgruntled. One of hers went missing....again. Now she would have to find hers, else someone take it. Eyes narrow even further. Just like the last time. She sighs heavily and starts to walk to the front of the cave.

Nel ploped her small body on the ground amoung the dangerous feeding grounds and battle field. The fearless child sat perfectly still with her arms crossed and an agrivated huff to her face.
"Nel's bored!" She exclaimed punching one small crater into the ground with her tiny fist. "Nel wants someone to play with... the cave is boring..."

Szayel sat comfortably back in his quarters, tapping away on the multiple keyboards in front of him, and staring at a data feed. The numerous screens in front of him were detailing things like Nel's heart rate and blood pressure, her internal temperature, and a detailed workup of her body's composition.
"I see the parasites seeded themselves quite nicely."
As the parasites completely settled themselves new information began to come in, such as Nel's exact location and any reiatsu they could sense around her. They were the perfect data gathering device; designed by Szayel himself. They were nearly undetectable, because once they settle they live in perfect symbiosis with their host. Causing no damage whatsoever. "So. Let us see if I can puzzle out the cause of your reversion."

(These are similar to the parasites Szayel infests his brother with that allowed him to get detailed information on Renji's Bankai. These ones concentrate more on the host rather than their surroundings though.)

(EEWWWW I'VE BEEN PARASITED! lol)

As Nel sat, stairing and waiting for Ulquiorra's next move, she crunched the lollipop into shards. Crushing sharp chunks of sugar and syrup between her abnormally large teeth cause her jaw to temporarily glue shut with its sticky sap. With one final gulp the mesh of saliva and sugar the lolli and its secret implants were now settled in her stomach, desolving and becoming one with the youngling.

Ulquiorra looked at Nel as he kept his frown of emotionlessness, he turned around as he had his back towards her now and began to walk away slowly again. Hearing the slight sound of the crunching of the lolli his back lightly twitched from it. "I'm not going to play with you....unless you want to die...you had better leave this place." He said as he began walking away, as he took a couple of steps forward a menos started to growl and make its way towards their direction.

"AWWW." The miniture arrancar wined as she fidgeted with the hem of her dirty green dress. "Your no fun!" Nel called out to the man, paying no attention to the danger around her.

Ulquiorra listened to the sound of the menos howling as he looked up towards where it came from. He just walked away as he just kept his hands back in his pockets without another word to Nel.

As the female left the cave she stopped just at the edge of a sheer drop and looked down. She slowly started to glow a white-green color; then all of a sudden it shot away from her and spread in a radius of 100ft.

Grimmjow sat in a corridor of the Hueco Mundo mansion. He had one knee lifted up, his arm laying across it, and he sighed out of boredom.
"This place seriously needs a torture room or something..." He muttered, twirling a glowing sphere in his hands. He wished he could venture to the World of the Living and cause total chaos and just mess everything up... But of course he wouldn't, because, well, Aizen wouldn't allow it. Grimmjow clentched his fists, irritated.
Grummbling to himself, the Sexta Espada rose, shoved his hands into his pockets, and walked down the hallway, his footsteps echoing off the walls.
