Neliel happily looked at some of her magazines while taking a quick glance back and forth towards Ichigo who was currently sleeping in her crib. She giggled to herself about how such a handful she could be during the day yet whenever she's sleeping and taking a nap she's practically an angel in comparison. As she read her magazine, she thought back to a few times when Lilenette asked for some of her own fashion magazines. She found it weird as to why she asked for her's knowing that she owned some herself (If only she knew XD), but since she was doing her a favor, she decided to go along with it, not seeing any problems. The so called peaceful slumber was interrupted though as knocking startled the two, waking up Ichigo and causing her to cry. Neliel just moaned a bit to herself as she calmly yet a bit quickly walked over to Ichigo's crib, picking her up.
"Oh there there, shush shush shush. Everything is alright." Neliel cooed, stroking Ichigo's hair gently. She groaned again, followed by a frown, as she heard someone knocking on the door again. She walked towards the door, expecting to see Nnoitra since he's always the one to bother them when he's never wanted, but blinked a bit surprised as she saw Halibel there.
"Oh, Halibel, what brings you here?" Neliel asked curiously.
"I apologize if I woke her, but there's going to be a captain's meeting." Halibel stated calmly, bowing her head in respect as such for an espada. Neliel just sighed a bit, forgetting the meeting to begin with, and somewhat hoping no one would show up so she could continue to take care of Ichigo. She simply looked back at Ichigo with a bit of a frown, which Halibel mentally raised an eye brow too.
"Well what am I suppose to do about her? There's no one else to really take care of her...unless you wanna do it?" Neliel asked. Halibel smiled past her kimono as she nodded.
"I won't mind. Although, it's going to be a pain to keep her away from..." Halibel started before the two looked down the hall way, hearing something banging on the ground roughly. As they looked, they saw Apache who was pinned down by Rose by her neck and her left arm being held tightly, while at the same time, Sun-sun kept pulling back on Apache's hair.
"Let go of my hair!" Rose souted.
"Hell no! I wanna see Ichigo first!" Sun-Sun yelled back.
"You guys are crushing me! Get your fat butts off!" Apache yelled. The two bickering girls suddenly turned their attention down towards the one on the ground.
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING FAT?!" They both shouted as they began to pull on her arms harshly. Neliel and Halibel's sweat dropped at the fighting, wondering if the three even knew if they saw them. Halibel let out a somewhat irritated sigh as she looked at the three bickering arracnars.
"Them." She stated, finishing what she was trying to say before. Neliel just chuckled a bit before gently handing the crying infant to Halibel.
"Here, I really gotta get going. Please take good care of her." Neliel added. She looked back at Ichigo, feeling the infant tugging on her kimono. "Don't worry, I'll be back." She cooed, patting the baby's head before disappearing. Halibel simply stroked the baby's head gently before walking down the halll, seeing the three arracnar's still arguing, barely even noticing the fact that the baby's crying was getting louder. She simply walked towards the group until her shadow loomed over them, causing them to freeze for a bit before slowly turning their heads' towards Halibel.
"If you three can't stop arguing, your never going to help with Ichigo." Halibel stated, causing the girl's skin to practically go white. Each of them struggled a bit to get off of one another and get back up, standing.
"Sorry Halibel!" Apache pleaded, bowing in respect, with the other two doing it soon after. Halibel just chuckled at this as she continued walking pass them. The three looked to where Halibel was standing before seeing she was gone, then saw her already going past them, and walking right next to her soon after, mostly to get a good look at the little crying infant in her arms.
"She's so cute!" Sun-Sun commented, even though the baby was crying.
"She'll be even cuter if she doesn't end up looking like you Sun-Sun." Mila teased, causing Sun-Sun to flare up.
"What's that suppose to mean?!" She shouted back, yanking on Mila's long hair. From the incessive rambling, the four suddenly looked back as Ichigo started to cry. "Now look what you did!"
"You did it first!" Mila argued, only to hear the baby's cries increase.
"Girls, girls, she will only continue if you don't stop arguing." Halibel stated, stroking the baby's hair gently. Mila and Sun-Sun quieted down quickly, needing to be told to realize they were causing the baby's crying, and the fact they still pretty much blamed one another for it, although Halibel wouldn't have let it continued without the warning them to begin with.
"Can I hold her?" Apache asked happily and somewhat pleading. Halibel just smiled a bit to herself as she gently handed her Ichigo.
"Of course." She replied. Mila and Sun-Sun looked at her dumbstrucked before they began to run towards her. Before they could though, Halibel grabbed both their arms, keep them in place.
"Hey!" They both squeeled.
"She's the only one who has been causing the least trouble and one to make her cry the least." Halibel commented. The three suddenly looked back as they heard Apache screaming in terror. Mila and Sun-Sun almost busted a gut as they laughed to themselves as they saw the baby barf all over Apache's robes. "Oh my..." Halibel said, somewhat surprised and fortunate that she wasn't holding the baby when Ichigo barfed.
"Please...Take...Her...Now!" Apache stammered, holding Ichigo out with only one hand while trying not to move much to keep the vomit from touching herself. Halibel and the others simply chuckled to themselves as Halibel gently took Ichigo back, holding her gently in her arms. "I'm going to go take a shower now..." Apache said disturbedly, trying not to move the upper half of her body so much. Mila and Sun-Sun continued to laugh loudly as they watched the peuked-covered Apache walk down the hall way all squirmishly, a bit disturbed by the amount of vomit she had on her clothing...
"Peekaboo!" Sun-sun cooed to the giggling Ichigo, moving her hands in front of her face then away again. Ichigo simply giggled as she clapped her tiny hands together happily. At the current time, Mila, Sun-sun, and Apache were all playing happily with Ichigo while Halibel simply read magazines of her own, and took quick glances from time to time at the three arracnar playing with Ichigo, just to make sure they didn't cause any more fights that would cause Ichigo to cry.
"Can you say Mila?" Mila asked, curiously. Ichigo just tilted her head a bit as she blinked curiously.
"Say ugly instead, that works too." Apache teased, causing Mila to flare up.
"Oogy!" Ichigo squeeled happily. Apache simply cheered a bit as she patted Ichigo on the head, Mila flaring up even larger at the same time.
"Ohh, good girl. Say it again." Apache commanded happily.
"Oogy!" Ichigo said again, shaking her arms up and down.
"Oh nice going retard, you just taught her a new word." Apache stammered, pulling on Mila's hair. Even as she struggled to pull it back, she smirked.
"Hmph, at least I'm not 'oogy'." Mila teased, causing Apache to flare up.
"THAT'S IT!" She shouted, wrestling Mila to the ground.
The two were rough housing verily close to Ichigo who just giggled happily. She looked back up as she saw Halibel picking her up, moving her away from the bickering girls who were fighting too closely to Ichigo, and most likely would've gotten hurt if she left her there.
As she sat back down, the baby simply giggled as she laid in Halibel's lap. She happily reached towards Halibel's face, clearly still in the mood to play. Halibel couldn't help but smile a bit to herself, noticing how the baby cutely giggled as she continued reaching towards her. She moved her finger around the baby's face a bit, smiling as the baby tried grabbing her finger with it's tiny hands. Halibel felt a bit happy to herself as well. It was the very first time since she came to Los Noches that she found someone who was peaceful and playful as Ichigo, esspecially since she's never met anyone like Ichigo who is nice except for Neliel. The fun was cut short though as Mila suddenly came crashing into the side of the chair they were sitting on, knocking them both over. Mila barely even noticed what she hit as she went back to fighting with Apache.
Halibel shook her head a bit as she tried to focus on all that had just happened within the split second. "Waaaaaaaaaaaah!" She didn't have much time for thinking as the infant's wails suddenly reminded her how they ended up on the floor When she looked at the crying baby, she saw her frantically crying as she laid on her back, moving her arms all around wanting to be picked up again by someone. Halibel quickly sonidoed over to her, cooing at the baby to keep her calm, esspecially since she noticed a slight riatsu spark up from her. As she gently held the baby again, anger took her expression as she glared back over towards the still arguing Mila and Apache. Even with the baby near them, they couldn't keep themselves from fighting, nor could they keep themselves from hurting Ichigo in the process.
Halibel gently placed her long sleeve over Ichigo, just large enough to cover her completely. Then, in a quick but fierce burst, she filled the room with spiritual pressure strong enough to cause Mila and Apache fall face first towards the ground, then simply died down again. She was glad she placed the sleeve over Ichigo, seeing how it successfully protected her against the spiritual pressure, even as she continued to cry. She looked back in an irritated glare as she heard Mila coughing as she and Apache slowly got back off the ground.
"Halibel!" Mila yelled before coughing a bit. "What the hell was that f..." She stopped cold silent as her eyes went blank at the sight of the crying baby on the ground. She could easily tell she knocked the two over as of now when she crashed into something, esspecially since she realized she couldn't hear the baby's crying since she and Apache were arguing. She looked back as she heard Apache slowly getting off the floor, rubbing her somewhat sore shoulder.
Apache observed the area quicker than Mila had a minute ago, knowing everything that was going on already. There were two things that scared her as of now: One, the fact she caused the baby to cry, and two, seeing the extremely irritated and angry face on Halibel. "S-S-Sorry H-Halibel..." Apache apologized nervously. Halibel only replied with an angry expression as she pointed towards the door. Apache and Mila opened their mouths to protest, but stopped as they saw a slight angrier twitch growing on Halibel's expression. The two moaned a bit to themselves as they continued walking towards the door, opening it just as Sun-Sun had reappeared.
"Hey guys, what's..." She started before the two simply walked past her, purposely bumping into her. She blinked a bit confused until she looked back at the crying infant in Halibel's arms. She pretty much put 2 and 2 together, even if she didn't know the exact details. She sighed to herself a bit annoyed as she couldn't believe the other two would do something stupid enough to make Ichigo cry. "Let me guess, they did it?" Sun-Sun asked even though she knew she was right. Halibel just rolled her eyes as a yes as she walked back over towards Sun-sun.
"Did you get what I asked for?" Halibel asked. Sun-Sun smiled as she nodded, pulling one of the baby's bottles out from her robe, filled with milk.
"Sorry it took so long, would've gotten back sooner but forgot where Neliel keeps everything." Sun-Sun apologized. Halibel simply smiled as she took the bottle from Sun-Sun, and began feeding it to Ichigo.
"It's alright. Your not the reason she's crying anyway." Halibel replied as she began feeding the crying infant the bottle. The infant's cries were reduced to whimpering before calming down altogether, drinking the milk happily as she closed her eyes. Halibel and Sun-Sun simply smiled a little bit, loving how cute the baby acted, before looking back towards the door as they heard footsteps, seeing Neliel suddenly appearing.
"My my, I was wondering where you guys went to." Neliel said cheerfully, seeing the baby happily eating in Halibel's arms. Ichigo suddenly opened her eyes as she saw her motherly figure, giggling happily as she reached towards Neliel. Halibel simply smiled as she handed Ichigo and the bottle to Neliel, who patted Ichigo's head as Ichigo played with Neliel's long hair.
"Sorry I'm late. The stupid meeting took longer than expected. I hope she wasn't much trouble." Neliel apologized. Sun-Sun looked back at Halibel as she heard her chuckle a bit.
"Of course not. She was fine, although I wish I could say the same for two of my fraccion..." Halibel said, a bit displeased from the way they acted a few minutes ago.
Neliel just chuckled a bit as she knew what she meant. She past Apache and Mila who seemed a bit ticked about something, although she couldn't exactly tell what until she felt the increase of riatsu. She was mostly glad everything was fine for the time Ichigo was with Halibel and her fraccion, feeling that things would've gone worse than they were.
"Waaaaaaahahhhhh!" Ichigo began wailing again. Neliel, Halibel, and Sun-Sun all looked back towards her as they heard her crying, unable to tell what was wrong.
"Ahh, what's wrong sweetie?" Neliel cooed, gently wiping away Ichigo's little tears.
Sun-Sun was the first to realize something as she quickly sniffed the air, scrunching her face.
"Gah, what's that smell?!" She stammered, plugging her nose. Neliel simply giggled a bit before looking back at Halibel.
"Well thanks again for the help. I gotta go give her a quick diaper change and then I think I'll put her down for a nap. Good bye." Neliel said as she quickly sonidoed away. Sun-sun sighed through her nose deeply as she could breathe easily again, although still had a somewhat disgusted face.
"Jesus...Baby's are cute but they smell horrible..." She complained. Halibel simply put her sleeve to her mouth as she chuckled.
"You have no idea what trouble they really are. Just wait until she start's walking..."
