101 – Pale Palace

101 – Pale Palace

Those were concerns for the future though. Right now he couldn't easily leave for Earth. Who knows how closely he was being watched since he joined Las Noches. Multiple members of Las Noches and Aizen had rather nasty hobbies and being one of them didn't protect him completely from them either.

If he received some kind of mission to go to Earth it would be another matter, but now that he had joined up if he went to Earth without reason that would get him attention he did not need at this time. As for the missions requiring Las Noches members to go outside of Hueco Mundo those tended to be reserved for Espada most of the time. He doubted he would even get the chance as long as he was a Vasto Lorde.

He wondered how Reina was doing. Was she safe? Was work going alright? Even if she now had more power than any regular human and plenty of members amongst the supernatural he would always worry about how she was doing. That's what big brothers do after all.

And did Masaki's reunion with her family go well? How much did the timeline change now that she is back and involved in Ichigo's life again? Since due to the time dilation between the worlds it had only been a couple days at best since he returned not too much should have changed yet. He was struggling with a lack of information though.

Aizen was here so it seemed that the plot had mostly gone the way it had originally or else he would still be in Soul Society most of the time. Since he put all his effort in minimising his influence on Ichigo's life he really hoped they had all made it through alive like originally or he would feel bad about leading to someone's death even if indirectly.

He wasn't too worried about his parents. They were retired and the only contact they had with anything supernatural was Reina who no longer lived with them. Unless something seriously went wrong they would probably be the safest out of everyone he knew. That didn't prevent freak accidents though. Hollow attacks were not common, but they did happen. He just hoped if that was the case Reina could protect them or at least hold on for back up from Masaki.

Hisashi smiled. "Of course we are. You'd think we were separated for years with how you're behaving," he teased.

She just tightened her hug though.

"How about we get moved in?" he asked.

Loly and Menoly ended up giving everyone a tour of the place. Although Nelliel got there a little before them she was almost as unfamiliar with the place as they were. It hadn't been her palace when she was the Numero Tres Espada and she hadn't socialised a lot with any of the other Espada back then either. Really the only Hollows she had any real relationship with was her Fracción. The rest could barely even be considered acquaintances.

The place was as large inside as it had appeared outside with a large inner yard and lots of rooms. The towers had a great view. At least facing the decorative inner yard. The long stretch of sandy dunes and white walls in the distance didn't make for a great view for the outward facing windows.

Nelliel insisted that they kept sharing a bedroom even after the move and Hisashi was smart enough not to argue that. Moving took just as little time as moving out had. Hisashi hoped now that they were a faction under an Espada they might be able to get authorisation to get some more non-essential supplies to use for their fancy new palace.
