[quote=Expllo] "Well, even if you weren't going to challenge him there's nothing wrong with still being better with your words. Atleast striving to be, nothing wrong with a bit of flaunting here and there," Hikari said with a grin, the tricky side of him showing. He saw nothing wrong with bragging for the fun of it, atleast at the right time. Though it was something he did much, but he didn't really do much anyways except for work. Once she spoke her next words he was going to answer until Genji came back asking what'd they like to drink. He let her order, then just ordered the same thing. Once Genji walked off Hikari looked back over at Haruka. "No, a Hollow just doesn't leave a scar.....Well, atleast not all the time. But gladly the Gotei thirteen accepts us now, really kind of have no choice. But I know I'm not the only one like me, outside and inside the Gotei thirteen I have a few friends and associates like me including my father, so I'm not exactly alone in this," he said before pausing for a few seconds. He then continued with a small smile and a chuckle, "Sorry, I think you mistook what I said..... was the one who summoned the Hollows, I'm not exactly sure how it worked but it was apart of his Bankai. Though, summoning Hollows could be something I can try to do, would be a neat advantage...." [/quote] "I probably could stand to say more around the compound...but I fond that my words are wasted. My brother at least considers my counsel. Even if I were to brag--which I have before--I usually get told that I should just stop. Stop trying to outdo your brother, stop trying to put yourself above your future clan head, tch." she clicked her tongue and looked away in irritation. "Protect your brother, he doesn't need to fight--his mind is worth more than your stupidity. His hands shouldn't be scarred to prove a point, Haruka you prove it for him. Haruka, take care of him. Better learn now so that whatever man decides to tame can at least expect a hot meal." her jaw clenched as she lost herself in her memories. Her spiritual energy spiked dangerously high, which she hadn't even realized. "He always has the last word, he was the one that said it was ok for me to leave the compound. He was the one they turned to when I wanted to go my own way. He is is smart and calculating. He is planning [i]something[/i] and I just can't figure out what." she managed to hiss the last sentence out. Alucard nipped her chin to get her attention, the fur on his neck was raised. She was startled from her thoughts by the nip and closed her eyes. "Right...um..." she tried to calm her mind as she listened to the man. "Oh, uh...sorry. but yeah, you should look into it. If Hollows get stronger by eating and absorbing other Hollows and spirits, who is to say that you wouldn't be able to at least attract them? Maybe if you show your strength, you can subjugate one or two for your personal use? Just...don't go off the deep end, yeah?"
