Anyone Up For Some Eternal Tag? -Luna, open to one other-

Nelliel yawned and sat up, rubbing sleep from her hazel eyes. She looked down at her body, perplexed to find that she was in her Adult Form. Nelliel scratched her head, wondering what triggered it. When she fell asleep, she was in her Child Form. It couldn't of been that dream, could it? Ugh, another dream about the orange haired man. She didn't even know that it was possible for her to make such a transition while unconscious, and that dreams could be so emotionally powerful. Nelliel was fearing that she'd never see him again, Ichigo.

She would find him again, but for now, she had her trustworthy Fraccion. They had been her allies as long as she could imagine, and she wouldn't trade them for the world. She stretched her arms out, peering over to the still sleeping Fraccion. Nelliel chuckled slightly, wondering if her childish game of tag had really worn them out so much. She looked up at the constant sky of night that covered the White Desert, the moon glittering off of her teal hair. She desired to see other places, like the Human World. Ichigo had to be there, right? Right. Nelliel was still looking up at the moon with the sound of a sick snap filled the surrounding area.

A massive cloud of pink smoke rose into the air, revealing the Child Form, Nel Tu. She let out a high pitched moan as she burst into a sprint. With her arms and legs spread wide, she glomped both Dondochakka and Pesche. ”Hey! Wake up!! Nel wants to play eternal tag!” Nel Tu exclaimed, jumping up and down on the two wacky Arrancar. Nel grinned and giggled as the two sat up, and she jumped off of them. With a slow groan, Dondochakka and Pesche stood up. Bawabawa slithered up behind the other two Fraccion.

”One..... Dondochakka began, his voice echoing with enthusiasm. ”Two....” Pesche added. ”THREE!” Nel shrieked, her voice the most happy and eager of all. She turned around on one foot, running in the opposite direction. Nel began to laugh loudly as she heard the thundering footsteps of her two Fraccion, and the slithering of Bawabawa. Despite the fact that the extended running made her cry, she loved the game of eternal tag. Nel only wished there was more to do in Hueco Mundo though.

The chores for her master was completed, at least until he woke up but that would`t be for awhile. She had explored the normal sections of las noches for anything worthy to investigate, but all she had found was white hallways and the faint reaitsu signals of a newly killed numero, whom probably had gotten in the way for an angry fraccion or espada. numero`s getting killed was not uncommon, in fact it happened almost every day. Whenever one was killed, another one was ready to take its place a second later. While she had never heard one of them speak, she could relate a little to them. Like her, they were the once who hid in the shadows of those greater than them selfs, and followed ordered without second thoughts. The biggest difference was of cause the strength, being a modified arrancar, she had been blessed by powers strong enough to challenge the espada. For some it might have seemed stupid not to just kill the espada closest to her level and just take the seat, but for Luna just thinking about taking a spot among them was out of question, unless ordered to. Being a fraccion was her way of staying loyal to Aizen, and follow his orders to keep the espada safe.

Luna lifted her head a little from its spot against the large window, noticing a rather strong reaitsu coming from somewhere to the north. Looking out the window more closely, she saw a rather big, but brief, cloud of pink smoke appear. The reaitsu dissapeared along with the smoke, the only reaitsu`s coming from there being of low level hollows. Sparked by her curiosity, she opened up the window and "stepped" into the air, closing it firmly behind her. It wasen`t uncommon for her to go out of the castle like this, but it was never far. It wasen`t because she would be wound able on her own, it was because she felt the painful memories of being alone if she ventured to far from the place, which she had called home for so long. By using sonido, she eventually arrived at the spot where she had seen the cloud. What meet her there, simply stunned her.

Luna was standing around 10 feet away from four hollows that was running around. The first one was a small one that took the appearance of a child, the second one an ant-alike hollow walking on two legs wearing a loin clothes. The third one was weirdly colored and had a large open mouth, and the last one was basically a very large worm. The child arrancar was crying, making it appear like they were chasing her. Luna, being disappointed in not finding anything interesting, turned her blue eyes towards the direction of Las Noches again, finding no reason to interfear with the old saying, "eat or get eaten".

Even through her reaitsu was suppressed to the point of being on fraccion level, she still looked slightly intimidating in the endless moonlight. She had waist long purple hair with long bangs reaching her chest framing her face. Her uniform was surpringly not showing any skin from the neck and above, even her hands were hidden by long sleeves. Her sword holster was strapped to her right hip with a black belt worn around her hips, the purple hilt of a katana sticking out of it. Standing around 5.5, she was fairly high. With no real emotion shown in her face, and the purple tear marking under her left eye, she resembled her master to some degree.

Nel's crying and screaming could be heard from afar, but it was unlikely to be heard anywhere else but the plain desert. She wasn't loud enough to be heard down underground in the Forest of Menos, and yet she couldn't be heard in the pristine palace of Las Noches. She, nor her Fraccion friends, wanted to be heard by the inhabitants of either dwelling. They had a firsthand experience the horrible attitude that came with many of those in the Espada long before Nelliel was coupled with her tragic fate. Nnoitra was a stunning example. But due to Ichigo, young Nel's fears of Nnoitra had been erased. Ichigo....and that strange man, with the spiky hair. Nel didn't know who that was, but she supposed that he must've been a good guy too.

Even though he was scary. Young Nel, of course, wasn't thinking about such things. Her childish mind simply did not care at the moment. She was much to caught up in her game of eternal tag. Nel Tu blinked and looked to the left, surprised to see a lady standing there. She huffed, her eyes zoning in on that bright purple hair. Nel giggled slightly, remembering that she had weird hair too! Nel took an abrupt left turn, leading the wacky Fraccion chasing her to shriek. All three of them flew straight forward, kicking up a huge cloud of sand and dust. Nel stood still, looking at the woman. ”The lady looks a bit bored....wonder if she wants ta play eternal tag with Nel!!” Nelliel thought, inwardly exclaiming at what she thought was a brilliant suggestion on her part.

After the confused Fraccion stopped coughing and dusted the sand from themselves, they shambled over to Nelliel. ”Why'd ya stop, Nel?” Pesche asked her, peering down at Nel. ”Yeah Nel, why'd ya stop? Ya scared us fer a second there, dont'cha know!!” Dondochakka chimed in, bursting into one of his numerous outbursts. Bawabawa let out a high pitched grumble, as if he were agreeing with the Fraccion. Nel patted Dondochakka, still staring at the woman. ”Look.....that's...an Arrancar..” Nel murmured, pointing directly at her. For a few seconds, a rather awkward silence followed. They all suddenly shrieked, repeating the words Nel just uttered while pointing at the lady.Dondochakka and Pesche ran around in circles.

While they ran around, Bawabawa flailed in the background. Nel stood in the center, blinking. Last time she had seen another arrancar, asides from her brothers, things didn't go too well. The all quickly stopped, looking back at the lady. Nelliel looked at the other two and grinned. ”Hey....she might wants ta play some tag!!!” Nelliel yelled, taking off into a sprint. Her brothers and their pet ran after her, yet they were aware there was no stopping her. Nel stopped near the lady, waving her arms around. ”Hey lady wait up!!! HEEEEEEEEEEY!” Nel exclaimed, huffing and puffing. Nel skidded to a stop and her brothers did too, crashing into Nel. She squeaked and peeked up from under a small bit of sand, staring at the women's hair.

The low level hollows began to speak, causing Luna to look towards her. Luna took a single step towards them, having tilted her head a little to the left. "..Why are you pointing on me?". The two oddly shaped male arrancars then began to run around in circles, screaming nonsense, making Luna believe that they weren`t arrancar`s, and simply low level gillians that for some reason had taken on a small size and was cable of speaking with little resistance. While she herself had undergone all the stages except vasto lord, she could`t recall anytime where her loneliness or hunger had made her loose her mind. The smallest of the four seemed to be the one with the most brain, since she was the only one who wasen`t running around like a madman. They suddenly stopped and the girl looked at the other three, making a big grin, mentioning something called "Eternal Tag". While Luna did know what Eternal meant, she had no idea of what tag meant. Was this weird use of words their way of saying that they would hunt her or? If so, it would`t take Luna long to kill them..

The girl suddenly went into a sprint with the others, heading directly for Luna. Luna began to raise her reaitsu as a warning, but they kept coming towards her. Luna had raised her spiritual pressure to be between fraccion and espada, which was only half her reaitsu. The short girl screamed for her to wait up, which was odd considered she haden`t moved. As the hollows eventually reached her, they stumbled into each other, one again ending in a small pile covered a little in sand. Luna found it rather odd, but it made it clear that this thing called "eternal tag", didn`t mean attack. Remaining standing, she focused on the small girl.

"There was a large spiritual reaitsu coming from this area moments ago..have any of you seen it?". Even through it was uncommon for a fraccion to speak to someone that didn`t even serve the espada, Luna still saw it as the quickest way of finding out the source of the large reaitsu.

Nelliel squeaked as she looked up at the lady arrancar. She slowly established her balance and stood up in the sand. Pesche and Dondochakka dusted sand off of little Nelliel as she stared on at the woman. In Nel's mind, she looked kinda bored. Or mean. Nel couldn't tell, though she really hoped it was the first option. Mean people weren't very nice, and Nel could always cheer up a bored person. Nel really really hoped the lady would play eternal tag with them, they hadn't had a new player in a while. Doe-eyed Nel giggled as the lady asked why they were all pointing at her.

”Well....uhh.....uhhhhhhh.....because Nel and her brothers hasn't seen an arrancar in a loooong time....and you have purple hair...Nel hasn't seen an arrancar with purple hair in a long time!” Nel mumbled, stumbling over her words. A large innocent smile was glued on the little girls face as she stared up at the lady. Her brothers looked down at the girl, exchanging hesitant glances. Even though Nel retained memories, it didn't put a stop to her naive antics. They were wary of those who were connected with the Espada, simply because of the events that went down prior to the current time.

It was a grim thing to recall, yet good was speckled throughout those memories. Nel was appeared to be oblivious to the woman's spiritual pressure, yet she, like her brothers, could clearly detect it. They all knew to act normal, as drawing attention was the last thing they desired. Another brief silence hung in the air as Nel and her brothers wondered what to do next. Nel giggled and went on, deciding to introduce herself. After all, a little friendliness never hurt anyone, right? ”Hai, i'm Nel Tu! Pesche and Dondochakka are my big brothers! And Bawabawa over there is our pet!” Nel exclaimed, as cheerful as ever.

Pesche and Dondochakka quickly waved hello to the woman, a rather brief greeting. Nel herself plopped back into the sand while everyone else stood around her. She began to mindlessly shift sand around with her little feet, attempting to amuse herself. Hueco Mundo got quite boring when the only things surrounding you was sand and hollows. Eternal tag was pretty fun, but it was hard to overcome the heavy boredom that practically coated the dreary, colorless place. Nelliel peered back up at the woman when she asked if they had witnessed anyone who might've possessed high reiatsu.

Nel had a puzzled look on her face, blinking, and shook her head. ”Nope, Nel hasn't seen anyone 'round here! It's just us, always is.” Nel countered enthusiastically. She was fully unaware that strong pressure was emitted from her, albeit in her Adult Form. Nel's brothers, however, were aware the Nel could rarely transition from Adult to Child. No sign of their knowledge showed, knowing that to alert others of such things could result in problems with others, especially the Arrancar who dwelled in Las Noches. Nel continued to smile nonchalantly, wondering when they would get to play tag.

As the small arrancar girl once again began to speak...Luna could´t help but to be drawn a little in by it. True her words were nothing more than what a small child would say, but there was something about the sudden big grin she sent up towards her. "You have taken on a humanoid form, your an arrancar yourself", she reminded the girl. Luna`s eyes widen a little, had she just commented on the girl`s words instead of remaining silent as she usually would have done? As the child began to speak again, she introduced herself and the others. Among the names she mentioned, it was only her own and her ant alike "brother" who`s name didn`t sound like something a child would come up with. Luna kept her blue eyes onto Nel`s big grin, there was no reason to say her name, yet she felt like she wanted to introduce herself as well. This kid was somehow manipulating her thoughts...wasen`t she? There could be no other reason for Luna to be thinking like this.

"I`m Luna...Luna flores". The words had been spoken in a natural and with only a little hesitation. What would`t Ulquiorra-sama think if he saw me like this..talking to common hollows, even letting them know my name?. Luna had been nameless until she had been picked up by her "god", and brought inside las noches where he had given her new life, ended her loneliness and even given her a name. He had told her that her named meant "Moon Flower", a thing she found quite odd since a flower usually meant something beautiful. She had been the one to tell Aizen and the present espada her name on the day she was "reborn", yet she did not know where it had come from.

As the little girl, known as nel now, began to speak again, Luna let out a light sigh. "Seems like this trip was pointless after all..", she mumbled under her breath. All of a sudden one of the dunes nearby began to rumble a little, and a hollow that had taken the form of a snake emerged, throwing itself directly towards Luna. As the tip of the head was mere inches from the purple haired girl, she simply slided her hand out of her sleeve and stopped it using her palm, not even flinching. She guessed it had been attracted by her unleashing a little of her reaitsu, or because of the large amount that had dissapeared moments before. "...Cero". Purple reaitsu gathered together in the palm that was holding the hollow back. It suddenly shot out with a massive force, turning the hollow into spirit particles in an instant. Luna let her arm hang down her side again, the sleeve covering up her hand once more.

Nel's upbeat smile stuck on her face as the woman spoke. “Yup, of course Nel is! See this? This is a very lovely cracked mask, belonging to Nel and Nel only!” Nelliel exclaimed, her voice bubbly. It was natural for others to be intrigued about Nel, after all, it was a bit unlikely to see another Arrancar quite like Nel. Her brothers, along with Nel in her grown form, wondered if there was any way to cure her “condition”. Such a thing was very unlikely, leaving the ragtag group to carry on the best they could. In Adult Form, worry was frequently expressed over her Child Form. No one knew when to expect a reversion back to it, something had intervened during the battle with Nnoitra.

Being in Child Form put her brothers at risk very often, the biggest source of Adult Nelliels' anxiety. It was her duty to protect them, she should always be able to. Instead, her condition turned the table, forcing them to protect her. And for that, Adult Nelliel would always, always hold hostility towards Nnoitra. He deserved it, and while Nelliel was a peaceful Arrancar with no desire to battle, something such as that could not be forgiven or forgotten. Child Nel was unfamiliar with the fretting about her Adult Form. All she knew was that Itsygo was a good guy, Espada were not nice, and her brothers were awesome. Nel continued to sit in the sand, yawning as she looked up at the purple haired lady.

She smiled brightly again and giggled as the woman told Nel her name, Luna. ”Well, nice ta meet ya, Luna! Right, brothers?” Nel exclaimed, her arms extending in order orchestrate her emotions through wacky actions. ”Yup, nice ta meet ya!” Pesche and Dondochakka greeted in unison. They, like Nel and Bawabawa, were friendly and polite. Bawabawa let out a loud moan, bowing to the woman as a form of greeting. Unlike the other three, he was a simple Hollow, and couldn't speak. Nel Tu stood up again, brushing off her gown. She continued to smile up at the woman in total oblivious innocence while her brothers simply stood behind her.

”So....d'ya wanna play Eternal Ta-” Nel began to say, but her words were interrupted by a small snakey hollow. Nel reached out to grab it, but were quickly pulled away from it and Luna once Dondochakka noticed Luna's hand glowing purple. They stared on in awe as a purple Cero shot out of her hand, completely obliterating the creature. Nel and her brothers slowly peered back to Luna, staring. ”Are you....an Espada?” They asked simultaneously. It was a simple Cero, every Hollow, even the low level Gillian could use it. But it didn't hurt to ask. Or did it?

Luna watched as the before so cheerful hollows stared at her, asking a very direct question. These hollows had no respect, who would ask anyone about their rank without even asking permission? Why am i even looking down on them? We are the same, all serving under the strongest of the hollows... Luna lowered her head a little and slided her left hand out of the sleeve again, this time reaching up to the tip of her uniform. She zipped the upper half of her uniform up, and pulled down the left sleeve. She had bone plates covering up the lower portion of her chest like most arrancar female`s had. The number 23 was tattoed over her revealed shoulder in a black color. "I am nothing more than a simple arrancar like you and your brothers. God chose me to protect his deared espada for as long as i lived, in return he ended my loneliness and made me as strong as them...". A sudden run breezed up and caught her long bangs, revealing her eyes for a short moment. While her face haden`t changed, her eyes had become clouded for the moment.

Luna eventually zipped the uniform back into place and let her hand hang down again. It would´t surprise her if this child didn`t even know that god had once excited inside Las Noches. There was a chance she did through, since she knew what the espada were. Through she was not fully convinced that these hollows and the dissapeared large reaitsu was linked somehow, she had begun to think less about it. Luna looked towards the small girl and gave her a little smile, which made her face soften up a lot. Seeing Luna smile was sometimes a surprise for someone whom had not seen it before, but those close to her knew she had a kind heart. The one whom had felt the most of this kind heart had been Wonderweiss, the litteraly brainless other modified arrancar whom Aizen had created. He had been stronger than Luna, but she had felt the need to take care of him due to his inability to think and talk.

"Nel was it? How do you play eternal..tag?". The mentioning of the game again had caught her interest. Through it probably wasen`t something she would do herself, it never hurt to learn something knew. It had to be something at least a little interesting, these arrancar had been the first hollows in a long time that had not tried to eat her on sight.

Nel, Pesche, Dondochakka, and Bawabawa listened to the soft words of the mysterious Arrancar lady. Nel's eyes drifted to the black 23 tattooed onto the womans' shoulder, in thick scripting. So, she wasn't an Espada, yet she was still very powerful. They all wondered what she meant when she talked about 'God', who chose her to protect the Espada. They had never heard of any god in Las Noches. Surely, she couldn't be talking about....Aizen? No, Pesche nor Dondochakka hadn't heard of someone calling Aizen a god before. But, they had not seen lots of things, and it was possible that she was indeed speaking of him. As a breeze blew through the desert, the ivory grains of sand stirred around the Arrancar. The plain, twisted quartz trees shook slightly, yet stood in place.

It was mostly quiet, yet you could still hear the small roars of low-level Hollows from underground in the forest. On the surface, a few Hollow animals scurried about, throwing insensitive glances at the gathered Arrancar. The light of the ever constant moon shimmered against Nels' bright hair and her shipped skull, occasionally a beam of light would spark a watery glimmer in her wide eyes. Nel looked up just as the breeze swept a portion of Luna's bangs out of her eyes. For less than a second, the big hazel eyes stared directly into Luna's, unblinking. The woman's eyes held this look of detachment....and slight intrigue? Dondochakka, Pesche, Nel, and Bawabawa slowly returned to the spot where they were standing prior to the interrupting snakey hollow.

Nel giggled cheerily as Luna asked how to play eternal tag. ”Well, ya gots ta chase Nel, catch Nel, and then ya gots to hurt Nel!” She explained in excitement. ”Ready?! Ok! Nel will start! Let's goooooooooooo!” Nel yelled loudly. She turned around on one foot, bounding off in the the opposite direction. ”We're comin' ta get ya Nel!” Pesche yelled out and began running also. Dondochakka laughed, following suit. Finally, Bawabawa hurtled off in a rapid slither towards Nel. Now that Nel and her brothers had begun the game, the only person that had yet to begin was Luna. Nel continued to giggle and laugh, peering back at Luna. While she and her brothers were slightly scared of the Arrancar lady, she didn't seem to be mean. So in Nel's mind, this called for extra extra fun!
