The Waffle House

Erik paused as he looked toward Kyouga as he seemed to change at the drop of a hat. He seemed to have another idea in mind. Erik slowly moved his left hand over his chest as he rose his right hand out slightly and replied
"Kyouga, I am devastated! To think that I wouldn't simply walk around for the sake of walking around. I'm just enjoying myself and..."
He pauses as he raises his head and then looks off to the side
"It is a lot quieter than I would have thought it to be.

"The humans were all knocked out, and the Shinigami have switched the town with a fake one. There's a possibility that an old enemy might be coming back to finish what he started." Kyouga told Erik plainly.

Sitting inside the waffle house, appearing as someone else, Mister E looked back to see Kyouga and someone else.
"Why, hello there" He said softly. He was drinking coffee as he sat there.

Kyouga turned his head to see who was there, discovering that Mister E was there as well. "Mister E, what are you doing here?" Kyouga asked the mysterious man, wondering why he decided to come.

"Because this crack in the sky got my interest up" He said. "I want to find out if something is escaping or entering this pitiful town"

"The crack might actually permit the Dark Lord to break free of his prison, and enter the Living World. Likely, the real Karakura has been switched with a fake one by now." Kyouga said to Mister E as he waited for his reaction.

He put the cup of coffee on the table and looked up.
"Sounds nice" He said. "Maybe this town will be no more if he comes back"
He laughed softly, but sarcastically.

Kyouga sat down across from Mister E, seemingly more serious now. "Kogasu, just understand that if this town is destroyed, your staple will only be hollows. That provides a risk of those hollows back-firing, and turning you into an Arrancar. Are you prepared for that? Of coarse, I don't know what will really happen to you." Kyouga asked him calmly, wondering if Ethiram was prepared for a huge life-change.

Kogasu laughed at Kyouga.
"Don't make me laugh" He said. He looked at him closely. "I'll never become an arrancar or hollow, and if this world does 'end', I'll just go to soul society"
He laughed a bit more.

"And what will you do there?" Kyouga asked Kogasu, slightly concerned about what he would do. Kyouga could care less, but he really had nothing better to do at this point.

"How about you stop worrying about me, and worry about yourself" He said. He got up and turned around and stood at the exit of the waffle house. "This place bores me" He said as he leaned against the door.

"Kogasu, I am due to go to Hell." Kyouga said to him with full honesty. "I'm still waiting for Lee here to say that he's ready to go. Besides, I can't go there without Ciel opening a way in, and he won't do it until Lee is ready." Kyouga said to Kogasu as he indicated Eric.

Kogasu laughed. "You belong in hell" He said. "That's where the weaklings go, or at least, that's what I believe"

"Actually, it is where evil souls that were evil in life go to when they die. As a Demi-Demon, it is a privaledge for me to go there. It is also where the Demon King lives. Besides, it would be respectful to pay the Demon King a visit after he came to visit me at the Vershaffelt Manor." Kyouga said calmly to Cross as he stood up. "Furthermore, I have questions that can only be answered there." he added as he walked toward Cross.

[This isn't Cross]
Kogasu looked at him, still laughing a bit.
"Pitiful" He said. "Back in the day, Arrancar knew there place and didn't do anything this retarded"
He turned around and placed the palm of his hand on the door.

"That's just the thing, I'm not actually an Arrancar anymore. You just don't like to listen to the fine details..." Kyouga retorted as he seemed to become irritated by Kogasu's bigotry.

Kogasu laughed loudly. "Honestly, I couldn't care less" He said. "If you're not an arrancar anymore, then why do you hang around Hueco Mundo?"
He didn't really care about the answer. He was just getting very bored with the uselessness of this person.

"I hang around Hueco Mundo because I cannot open 'The Gate'." Kyouga said calmly and honestly. It was the only answer that he could come up for the time being. "If you think me useless, why don't you reflect on your own uselessness?" Kyouga asked Kogasu as he attempted to strike a nerve. Kyouga wanted to see how Kogasu would take it.

Kogasu ignored Kyouga's remark. "If you're trying to get under my skin, it's not working" He said.

"Truth is... I was pathetic, and I still am... Laugh at me all you want, but I was just a rookie Shinigami before Hueco Arca turned me into an Arrancar... I'm part Demon and part Arrancar... Mainly, I'm sorry for acting like a fool and telling you such pointless things..." Kyouga explained quietly as he lowered his eyes. "Just go, I've wasted enough of your time..." Kyouga said as he sat down, and cupped his face with his clawed hands.

Kogasu sighed. He walked over to him and hit him in the head with the palm of his hand.
"This is what makes you weak" He said. "Mopeing around and doing nothing"
He sat in front of him.
"This is why Suzaku has to travel to Soul Society and the Human World when he can, because he moped around with the loss of his son and he's slowly losing everything, he doesn't show it, but, he appears to be wanting to commit suicide"

"How is it that you know that? What is there left for me to do when the issue with the crack is already being taken care of?" Kyouga asked Kogasu calmly with a hint suspicion as he rubbed the top of his head.

Kogasu looked at him closely.
"Suzaku, is losing, everything" He said. "That has nothing to do with the crack in the sky, it has to do with his sanity"

Kyouga was silent for a moment, and he headed out of the door once again. Don't be an idiot, Suzaku. I would never forgive myself if you committed suicide. I will not let you die while I can still save you! Kyouga thought as his eyes started to water upon exiting The Waffle House.

Kogasu hit himself in the head.
"I didn't mean for you to go after him" he said.
