Mission: Search for the Strawberry = Kita and Solis

A soft sigh filled the silent throne room of Las Noches. The room was lit up by a big lamp dangling from the roof. The lamp's light was not as bright as it had used to be. After a few riots in this room, the poor lamp had been victim of countless Ceros and Balas. Other than the dingling lamp, there were nothing special in the room, except a vast glasswindow and a throne.
And the throne was occupied by the Segunda Espada; Incognita Periculum. She was currently waiting for the Septima Espada Solis Idasson and the Quinta Espada Kita Akiyama.

To a stranger, it may have seemed like they were forming some kind of alliance. But, in truth, Incognita was only assigning the two of them a mission. Yes, there was an Espada ranked higher than her, but he didn't seem to have the intelligence to take the role as a leader. Or he was just lazy.
She had been sitting in the throne for quite the while, without changing positure at all. Her legs were crossed and her hands folded over her right knee. The green eyes was appearently staring at the empty air. She had left the door to the throne room open, so they knew where to go. But they could recognize her reiatsu?
I do wonder... Are these two the best I can assign on a mission like this? Will they be cautious enough to complete it? she thought, but her thoughts were interrupted when she heard footsteps. Incognita was sure. Come in please, Quinta. Septima. Her whispery voice echoed in the throne room, giving chills to even Incognita.

Solis stepped into the throne room, exhaling with every step of his left foot. It seemed that in the presence of the Segunda Espada he always became a little superstitious. Her appearance itself just rattled him a bit at first, but then he realized that she was more like a bit of art. Incognita was his favorite Espada of the top four, and the one that he'd like to see fill the throne. Still, it wouldn't stop him from messing her just a little.

"Ohayou gozaimasu, Incognita-dono." He said, smiling with just slightly deviously. Why? Instead of standing before her, he stood at her right side and leaned on the throne.

"What's on the agenda today?" He looked her in the eyes as his smile turned into a light smirk. He couldn't help realizing that he looked just like a schoolboy who teased the girl he had a crush on.

Kita walked in just after the Septima Espada. Yes she was running just a little bit late, but what ever. It wasn't like they had been waiting for her long. The woman's voice sent a shiver down Kita's spine, and she put her usual angry expression onto her face. Walking into the room further, she stands in front of the Segunda Espada, her arms crossed over her chest, and her hip cocked to one side.

It was a mission that the woman was sending them on, and Kita had no option but success. Failure wasn't an option to her. "Anytime you're done with your display Septima, I'd like to hear what Incognita-san has to say to us." She said with a raised eyebrow and a slight sneer.

Incognita only offered the Septima Espada a single gaze, before she turned away, looking at the Quinta instead. She had always disliked being referred as 'dono' by anyone else than her Fraccion, but decided that it was best to not state it. She grabbed the arm rests of the throne, pushing herself up of the throne with closed eyes. I do wonder... Should I have sent Ulquiorra on this mission instead of these two? It is too late through. Incognita thought and opened her empty eyes. She turned her head to the side, expressionlessly watching the Septima, but the Quinta's voice caught her attention.

Very well. Your mission. She stretched her left arm and pointed at a wall. Once she pointed at it, a projector turned on and started to show pictures of a young man with orange hair.Is to observe one of Las Noches targets; Ichigo Kurosaki. A former hollow-shinigami hybrid. I believe that he is currently attempting to regain his powers. Your mission is fairly simple; Find him and observe him. Do not kill him yet. Killing him now, will be considered a failure.
She looked at both the Espada in turn. The mission may seem like 'piece of cake' for you two.There is a small hindrance, though. Karakura Town is inhabited by several shinigami and shinigami-hollow hybrids, who refers themselves as 'Visored'. These are considered a threat to us and I request that you two stay away from them. And of course. The picture of the young man disappeared and Incognita looked at Kita. You, Kita Akiyama, will be in charge of this mission. She turned her gaze to the side and made a dragging-motion in the air. A black hole of cavity. May Fate bless the two of you with her guidance, dixi. She stepped back, waiting for the two of them to enter the Garganta.

(Mission will be continued in Karakura Town when both of them have entered the Garganta)

Solis frowned a bit as Incognita completely ignored him, but he figured it was better not to show his sadness. He would have to get used to being snubbed, it was a simple fact. He smirked when Kita responded though.

"It's okay, Kita-dono, I think you just desire a bit of attention as well." He said as he walked over to her with his trademark teasing smile. He stood and listened intently though, deciding that his antics would just have to wait. The idea of fighting shinigami intrigued him, though he realized that the point of this mission was stealth and felt that he'd better use his disguise abilities for the sake of this mission's success.

As Incognita opened the garganta, Solis winked at Kita. "It will be an honor to work under you, my dearest. I await your orders." Solis bowed and walked through, ready to face whatever awaited him on the other end.

Kita put Solis on ignore as she listened to what Incognita had to say. And hearing the she was to lead the pair in this mission gave her a heady feeling that she smiled at. Rolling her eyes with a soft sneer, she looks at Solis's back as he walked away, and imagined the many ways to destroy the man. Those below her in rank held no benefits for her race to the top, and the man ahead of her, a one Ulquiorra, was so up tight, and tightassed about everything, she was aiming higher then him. Third at least, if not first. Oh yes, she was on a climb to the top.

"My dearest? Don't call me that Septima. I've done nothing to you to welcome that endearment. That's my first order." She said, before entering the Garganta herself, pausing at the entrance to looks to Incognita. "Thank you for the chance here Incognita-san. See you soon."
