"This is my first time going to the world of the living, yes. Also, yes I am decently advanced in Kido. I said that, or did you not pay attention?" Haruka walked with purpose, and quickly. "Maybe if you had paid attention better then you would know that your studies are the only way you'll get anywhere. People are unesscessary to my success, and Soul Reapers work alone. Yet, they're assigned you to help me. That is interesting in itself." Haruka always spoke in a flat and uninterested tone with others. They always had to be reminded of what she had just said, and so she grew irritated with having to explain herself every time. So she simply decided to always accept that people could be stupid. Maybe he was down and out? Maybe this was a last ditch effort to redeem himself? Whatever the case, Haruka couldn't care less. She was going to the world of the living, and that was supposed to be exciting. It was also supposed to be extremely dangerous if they messed up and didn't strike a Hollow before it struck them. Haruka had no intention on dying this early in her career, but the buffoon could die and she wouldn't care. [i]I could use something sweet right about now.[/i] Haruka thought, her stomach grumbling in agreement. [i]Tough it out. We have a job to do. Then we can get sweets.[/i] It would serve him right for bring a stupid lute, if he died. Who played the lute anyway? He would probably use it when they weren't moving around too, meaning that he would sing. She sincerely hoped that he could sing somewhat decently. Mainly for the sake of her eardrums. "I thought our mission would just a short trip out and back. Why are you bringing that lute?"
