Hey, Sexy Lady

Szayel Aporro Granz, Octavo Espada, passed through the hollowed halls of Las Noches… Everything was quiet as always and there was not a soul in sight… The Espada sighed. So Grimmjaw Jeagerjacques was kicked out of the Espada… Hn. Nothing surprising about that… However, what intrigued the scientist the most was who replaced Grimmjaw… Surely that was going to bring about an interesting change…

Turning right, he was faced with an identical corridor, however there was a slight difference… Walking towards his direction was another Arrancar, although for the life of him, Szayel Aporro couldn't quite figure out nor recognize who it was… It was then that the pink-haired Espada assumed that the figure was Grimmjaw's replacement; after all, this hallway did lead to the demoted Sixth's chambers… Amber eyes continued to watch as the solitary figure approached… He noticed the distinctly slim physique of the Arrancar… the way that there is always a slight sway of the hips at each step… and how there was a sort of rhythmic pattern to the new Espada's steps… The replacement Sixth appeared to have short curling hair, a top row of teeth set upon the upper left part of the Espada's hair… As for the newbie's clothing… well… Szayel Aporro simply loved the scream of the supposed replacement's fashion statement…

The researcher then came upon one conclusion… Amusing though it was… 'Grimmjaw… was replaced… by a girl?' Hilarious…

Smirking to himself, the Eight Espada continued on his way and crossed paths with the new Sixth in the middle of the hall; eyebrows raising a bit upon noticing the other's paucity in regards to… ahem… bust size… 'Well, it isn't like that can't be fixed…' Szayel Aporro thought to himself as he smiled politely at the new Espada.

"And what do you want?" the shorter Espada asked, raising fine black eyebrows in question at the other.

'Quite a cute voice, too…' Szayel Aporro noted before introducing himself. "Szayel Aporro Granz, Octavo Espada. Pleased to make your acquaintance…" the pink-haired man stated, the polite smile still on his lips as his glasses reflected the bright moonlight.

"Ah… So you're that scientist-guy I've been hearing about…" the ebony-haired Arrancar went on saying, surveying the Eight from beneath half-lidded eyes. "M' Name's Luppi… and my rank… is Sexta…" Luppi declared; exposing his right hip to show the number '6' marked on it.

"So I see…" Szayel Aporro commented, managing to suppress the predatory growl that attempted to escape his throat… 'My, my… How delicious this little girl seems…' the scientist thought, subconsciously licking his lips.

"Oi! What's with that look?" Luppi demanded, seeing the sly smirk slip onto the taller Espada's lips.

"It's nothing, I assure you…" Szayel Aporro replied, adjusting his glasses and at the same time taking a step closer to Luppi. "Though I must say… I am quite… intrigued by the likes of you, Luppi…" he addressed the youthful-looking Arrancar.

"Oh…? And why could that be…?" Luppi asked, the gears in his mind working as he saw the seductive glint on the other's eyes. The grin on his pale lips growing as Szayel Aporro's gloved hand tilted up his chin, a gloved thumb caressing his pouting lips.

"Hm…" Szayel Aporro mused; observing the half-lidded and wide lilac orbs by which Luppi was staring back at him.

"…Szayeeelll…" Luppi whined.

"How adorable… Shall I bare it to you, pretty lady?" Szayel Aporro asked suggestively, pulling the new Sixth's face closer, amber eyes trailing down the Espada's physique.

"…Quite, Szayel Aporro…" Luppi responded in a sort of purr, lilac orbs glistening under the moonlight. "However…" he continued as one of his sleeve-covered hands trailed up the Eight Espada's chest, biting his lower lip for emphasis.

"However what?" Szayel Aporro asked in a whisper, leaning in closer to Luppi.

Luppi closed his eyes for a moment, and upon opening them he shot a death glare at the renowned 'mad' scientist. His effeminate voice from before changing drastically as he shouted, "I'm a guy, you jerk!" The Sixth then stomped on the pink-haired Espada's foot, making Szayel Aporro release him and step back a bit. With that, Luppi 'Hmph'-ed and marched off in the direction from which he came from, his back decidedly turned upon Szayel, each step he took shaking the whole corridor…

Szayel Aporro Granz, Octavo Espada, stared… Glasses askew… Amber eyes staring at the retreating back of Luppi… He blinked…

'That girl… was a GUY?!'

XXooXX

A/N: Not very original… sigh… Well, come on… Am I really the only one who thought Luppi was a girl at first sight? Hell no, and I'm damn sure of that. Tehee… I suddenly love Szayel and Luppi…

I just noticed... Luppi-kun doesn't have his own filter... Sad... :,(
