Ch8 The Second Question

Author Notes: These questions will be coming out randomly over the next day or two.

...

The first reaction, oddly enough, came from behind me. From the least expected person no less.

Kaname Tosen tried and failed to hide the sudden snort as he faked a cough.

Urahara Kisuke blinked a couple of times at the sudden question, his brow furrowing in the process. Behind him I could see Gin's grimace worsen as Byakuya Kuchiki glared at him from behind. Shunsui on the other hand had an utterly unreadable look on his face.

"No, I did not hide the Hogyoku inside a Gigai,"

Wait... What?

He hid it in her soul,

Ah. My bad.

Even still, as I took a look around, his answer evidently didn't seem to help all that much for some reason. I could still feel the reiatsu building up behind me, from one Ukitake Jushiro.

Rukia had a shell-shocked look on her face as she stared at Urahara Kisuke.

"Where did-"

"It's Kisuke's turn," Shunsui's voice quickly interrupted me surprising me somewhat. I'd expected Urahara to speak up.

"Right, of course..." I nodded, a serene smile on my face.

Urahara's impassive face quickly took my focus as he started speaking.

"Where is the Hogyoku?"

Hueco Mundo

Wait really-

Focus!

My smile didn't budge as I immediately responded. "I have absolutely no idea,"

His expression cracked the moment I'd finished speaking. "That's not possi-" Kisuke quickly started on another question before freezing up as soon as the brief wash of killing intent filled the room.

I feel like Ukitake might be a tad biased now.

I tilted my head the slightest as I stared at Urahara's panicked expression. "Where did you hide the Hogyoku you created, Urahara Kisuke?"
