Warnings: gore, abuse, bad language.
Because, well, it is s a definition of 'morbid' and is thus rated for good reason
I just happened upon this recently while looking through my files and felt the need to add to it. The idea was an old one I decide to touch up a little from last year and add the second half (which isn't a good sign of the times but I managed to make it happy. Well, sort of)
This story features my OC Okami - purely because I didn't want to edit from previous notes made, and the fic was already partially constructed when I found it.
Enjoy.

Morbid
It is late afternoon in Las Noches, and two female arrancar can be seen walking up a flight of stairs rather leisurely. They take their time, having nothing better to do now.
"Hey, did you her that?"
The first one stops the other, both of them nearing the top of the staircase.
"What Loli? I don't hear anything."
"Shh."
She hears it again, a sort of sniffing noise. Wondering what it is, Loli quickens her pace, being hurriedly followed by Menoli. The two of them now running along the corridors towards the noise and then turning a corner. Loli stopped when she came to the source of the noise. Menoli skidded to a halt immediately behind her.
"What is it?" Menoli asked, not quite sure what the other was looking at, taking a few steps forward in order to get a better view.
"Oh, it's just that fox."
The first arrancar took quite a few steps towards it. It was Cherry-chan, Gin's beloved pet, who was sniffing a trail along the wall and simply minding her own business. Loli slowly walked over to her, stopping to look down her nose at the creature in disgust. Snorting through her nostrils before delivering a kick to the fox's stomach, hard enough to knock her back against the wall with a yelp.
"Loli!"
The arrancar turned on hearing her name, not even showing any remorse for what she had done.
"What?" Loli screeched, "She lords it over us just because she's Ichimaru-sama's pet! Why is that thing so important?"
"But Loli, its just a fox."
"Hmph." Loli snorted, showing nothing but disgust for her arrancar sister. "If you want to pussy out then fine. I'll just kick the little shit myself!"
A yelp and a squeal was heard as the little body hit the wall with a thump, leaving a small trail of blood from her broken paw on the white wall. Evidence that harm had been inflicted.
"Loli are you crazy?"
"Shut up? Aren't you tired of that little cunt being above us? Of her strutting around like she owns the place? Well I'm fucking sick of it!"
"But Ichimru-sama will kill you!"
"I don't care!"
And with that another kick sent the limping white, blood covered fox hurtling against the wall again before she even had a chance to lick her wounds. There was a loud crack of bone breaking and more blood dripped from the creature. Menoli decided to leave at this point, and Cherry whimpered, holding up her front paw that had been broken and tried to limp away. Very reluctant to place her paw onto the floor because it was so painful. She tried to run away, but she could only manage a stifled limp and then went crashing down the stairway, bruising her little body as she fell all of the way down. Trying to limp away when she hit the bottom, semi regaining her consciousness moments after she hit the final stair at the bottom. Whimpering as she tried to limp away, dragging her broken front paw along the white floor, staining it a deep red. Trailing her blood behind her as she attempted to run off to a safer place. To her master.
She ran down the corridors, still with blood splattering onto the floor from her crimson dyed form. She was dizzy from having hit her head a couple of times on her less than desired way of being kicked down the stairs so she was a bit unsteady on her feet, but still she had to keep running. She had to get away from that merciless and sadistic witch. She ran but the dizziness and disorientation overcame her and she ran head first into the wall before her, only to be found by an innocent bystander, Orihime, who was just taking a casual stroll through the building and happened to come across the tortured animal.
"Oh my gosh you poor thing! What happened to you?" she said, shocked at the sight of the little fox all battered and bruised and covered in blood. Cherry whined and licked her hand before collapsing into her arms as she scooped up the little bloodstained creature and hurried off to get whatever help she could.
Cherry squeaked as Orihime quickly walked down the empty corridors, on her way to Szayels lab, or even just to find Aizen to get help for the little fox she had found. But she didn't quite know where she was going. So it was easy for her to get lost in this maze of corridors.
"Hey, princess!"
Orihime turned the corner and froze. It was Loli, standing there and smirking defiantly at her, amused at the sight of her cradling the white fox ad her blood dripped onto her.
"Um, Loli-sama."
"Well well well, what do we have here?"
She grinned wildly, taking in every moment that she was in control. Savouring every single second that she had dominance over her prey.
"Where do you think you're going?" she sneered, smirking menacingly to inspire pure fear in the young girl in front of her.
"That's my fox you've got."
"n- no it isn't." Orihime stuttered, trying not to show her nervousness. "It's Ichimaru-sama's pet, and she needs some treatment so I'm gonna go."
She quickly ran off and away from the arrancar and tore down the hallway, clutching the injured fox tightly to her as she hurried off on her way to get the creature help. Unaware of the fact that Loli was pelting after her.
"Get back here you fucking bitch!"
She glanced behind her; Orihime was running down the long white corridors of Las Noches, panting and panicking. Running for her very life. Running for Cherry's life.
Orihime quickened her pace, now breaking out into a sprint, but Loli was just too fast for her and she was tackled and forced to hit the floor, the little fox almost being flung from her grasp.
Loli was on top of her, pinning her down and squeezing her neck from behind, panting heavily. It must have taken some effort to chase her down.
"Think you can run from me, bitch?"
She squeezed Orihime's neck harder so that she chocked, but still she refused to let go of the creature that Loli most desired.
"Hand her over." Loli ordered, motioning to Cherry, who was still in the arms of Orihime, still only semi conscious, her head resting on her collarbone.
"No…"
"What did you just say?"
"I said no!"
The arrancar, angered, slapped her face hard enough to force it to the side, then grasping her fingers into her orange hair as she mused, deciding to give the girl another chance to do as she was told.
"I won't hand her over to you."
"Goody two shoes." Loli snarled as she slapped her face again, her fingers pulling her hair harshly as her fist impacted with one of Orihime's eyes and numerous times on her ribs, almost winding her. She punched and she kicked the girl but Loli's attention eventually turned back to the white fox.
She dropped the girl's body back onto the floor again and turned her eyes to the frightened animal in front of her. Watching the creature back away in terror before her. Then harshly grabbing her scruff and listening to her squealing in pain as she lifted her up rather carelessly, digging her nails into her flesh. The poor creature shut her eyes tightly and howled, fearing the worst.
"Pathetic creature. Makes me sick something like this can have a place above me in the hierarchy."
She snorted, very much displeased. Dropping the little fox onto the floor again and watched with much mirth as yet more blood trickled from her. Feeling great pleasure at the thud her little body made when it hit the floor. Not missing another opportunity to kick her again, making Cherry yelp painfully.
"Disgusting."
"And you…" she snarled; now striding back over to Orihime, who was on the other end of the corridor. "You're just as bad as her! You have no reason to be here apart from because Aizen-sama allows it! It makes me fucking sick!"
She was broken off mid rant by voices, the voice of another arrancar maybe? No, the voice of Ichimaru's shinigami whore, Loli thought, yes, it definitely was her.
"And just what makes you so fucking sick, Loli?"
Loli laughed as a pale, petite framed shinigami walked dominantly towards her, her mouse brown hair just catching her shoulders as she walked over. Seemingly displeased with the arrancar. Her blue eyes locking with Loli's eyes.
"Everything. Just the fact that pieces of shit like yourself just lord it over us…" Loli mused, holding her hand out as if examining her nails after a manicure. "Okami-sama."
"Are you not pleased with your rank Loli-sama?" Okami added, sarcastically mimicking the arrancars tone. "Because you could take it up with Aizen-sama if you are not happy with where he has placed you."
"I do believe I shall." Loli retorted, having absolutely no intention to. Quite ready to flounce off and out. Until the both of them were interrupted by a bloodcurdling scream that would have made the whole of Las Noches come running if they had heard it.
