Little did either of them know, two Espada were peeking their heads around a corner, spying on the... two, "Grimmjow and the new tenth? What the hell?" Nnoitra asked his comrade.

"That seems a little strange. Grimmjow does not seem like the type of man to fall in love." Halibel assumed, looking up at Nnoitra.

"I know! He's been banging Cirucci for a while, but I didn't think that he'd go for her!" Nnoitra said, obviously not hearing how crude he was being. Halibel looked up at him with an annoyed look and then looked back at the couple. Something was happening, Halibel was sure of it. It looked like Grimmjow was surprised that Jenifia Fajeista had kissed him. He picked her back up and threw her over his shoulder, and it appeared that she was protesting.

"It's looks like that has been the first time that Jenifia has ever kissed Grimmjow." Halibel assumed. Nnoitra raised his eyebrow at the remark and Halibel clarified, "If that wasn't the first time that Jenifia had ever kissed Grimmjow, he wouldn't have reacted like that. He looked genuinely surprised."

"How'd I ever end up with a chick like you?" Nnoitra asked, pulling down her collar and kissing her.

"I was drunk." Halibel joked. Nnoitra laughed, gripping her waist and pulling her toward his domain.


"I-- Grimmjow, I..." Jenifia tried her hardest to just say something. Well, other than "Grimmjow" and the letter "I". Grimmjow furrowed his eyebrows and a scowl appeared on his face. He picked Jenifia up by her waist and threw her over his shoulder, "Hey, Grimmjow, put me down!!" Jenifia yelled, banging her fists into his chest.

"You shouldn't of done that. Now, you've given me the wrong idea." Grimmjow muttered, smiling a bit. That's exactly what Jenifia was afraid of. Giving Grimmjow the wrong idea. But, it appeared to her that time definitly wasn't on her side.

"H-How? All I did was give you a small, friendly kiss!" Jenifia yelled, trying to convince him that was it.

"Bullshit. You've never done that to me before." Grimmjow commented. He was right. She hadn't.

"You know what they say, 'There's a first time for everything!'." She said, but she knew he wasn't convinced. Then, the both of them felt a familiar reiatsu. Ulquiorra's.

"Why are you holding her like that?" Ulquiorra asked, quirking a brow upward.

"Nonya." Grimmjow said, walking straight passed him.

"Save me!" Jenifia called out, looking at Ulquiorra. He narrowed his eyes, and reluctantly complied. He used sonido to get behind Grimmjow and grab Jenifia by the waist, walking in the opposite direction.

"Hey!" Grimmjow yelled, noticing that Jenifia was no longer in his grasp. Jenifia poked her head out from behind Ulquiorra and stuck out her tongue, closing her eyes and smiling. Grimmjow literally growled, and all Jenifia did was wink and tuck her head back behind Ulquiorra.

"By the way, Ulquiorra-san," she said, furrowing her eyebrows, "Why'd you listen? I mean, I know you don't like me, so... why?"

"I felt like it." Ulquiorra said flatly, not giving her much of an answer. Oh, yeah, thanks Ulquiorra. That explains a lot.

"That explains a lot." Jenifia said, literally speaking her mind.

Ulquiorra quirked an eyebrow upward, "What is that supposed to mean?" he asked.

"Nothing much, just that you happen to do things that pertain to your style," Jenifia said, albiet Ulquiorra didn't seem to get it, "Well, what I mean is, you do things calm, collected and smooth, like your personality." she said, smiling a bit. Ulquiorra didn't give a reply, but he picked his head up, which probably meant he understood, "So, where ya takin' me?" she asked.

"Aizen-sama's quarters. You shall request to be back in my care." Ulquiorra deadpanned. Jenifia raised her eyebrows. If she didn't know better, she wouldn't thought that Grimmjow and Ulquiorra were fighting over her. But, like I said, she knew better.

"Why?" she asked, tilting her head as much as she could, which wasn't much, due to Ulquiorra's chest.

"Because, anyone would know that Grimmjow isn't fit to be your guardian." Ulquiorra explained.

"Whatever, I just want a nap. A lot has happened. And, all I want to do is to plop down on a bed, and take a 4, maybe 5-hour nap." Jenifia said, imagining. But, all she could think of was her small liplock with Grimmjow. It was just for, maybe half a second, but she thought that maybe, just maybe, she felt something. Sparks, maybe. She didn't know, but there was definitly something. Once Ulquiorra reached Aizen, Ulquiorra opened the door and smoothly walked in, "Hello again, Aizen-sama!" she said nervously.

"Hello, Jenifia Fajeista. Why are you here yet again?" Aizen asked, smiling a bit.

"She has come here to request me for her guardian." Ulquiorra answered. Jenifia furrowed her eyebrow in frustration.

"I believe he was talking to me, Jenifia." Jenifia whispered, scowling. Ulquiorra looked back down at her, ice covering his white features, "Well, someone's on the rag." she joked, but Ulquiorra didn't seem to get it.

"Well, I believe that she was just in here, requesting for Grimmjow to be her guardian. Am I wrong, Jenifia?" Aizen asked.

"No, my lord." Jenifia said, averting her eyes.

"Fine, do what you want." Aizen said, smiling.

"Thank you, my lord." Jenifia said, closing her eyes. Ulquiorra bowed as much as he could and exited the room. Ulquiorra made his way to his domain as fast as he could, and Jenifia couldn't help but wonder why he was in such a rush.

"Why the rush?" Jenifia asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Why do you ask so many questions?" Ulquiorra asked her.

"I could say the same about you." Jenifia replied. She rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. Ulquiorra finally made his way to his domain, taking Jenifia to her room, "Hey, Ulquiorra-san?" she asked as he turned away. He turned his head back toward her, expecting her to say something, "Um, thanks. For earlier." Ulquiorra simply turned his head away.

"Don't mention it." he shortly said before he left the room. Jenifia's eyes widened and she blushed a little. She turned over in her bed and quicky fell asleep.


After a whole-night's sleep, Jenifia woke up with a strange feeling that she hadn't felt in over a week. She wondered what it was, but she decided not to ponder too much on it. She slowly opened her eyes and saw that Ulquorra was sleeping in the chair beside the bed. Her eyes widened a bit, then a soft smile appeared on her face. She got up from the bed and walked over to the chair... Wait a minute, walked?! Holy shit, I can walk!! she yelled in her head as she jumped around the room. Suddenly, she remembered that Ulquiorra was asleep, so she decided to calm down a bit. She wore a huge smile on her face as she sat at the edge of her bed, sitting less that three feet away from Ulquiorra. She got a look at him, and he didn't look much different than he did when he was awake. In fact, the only difference was that his eyes were closed. His posture was upright and everything! But, she decided that he didn't need to sleep like that, so she picked him up and toted him to the room in which she thought he slept.

"Sleep tight, Ulquiorra-san." she said, placing a small kiss on his forehead. She smiled and walked out of the room, silently shutting the door. She walked out into the hall where she found two arrancars walking. One with black hair, held up in pigtails, wearing a revealing ensamble, and one with a shaggy, blonde haircut, who wore clothes similiar to Jenifia's.

"Well, if it isn't the new Decima, Jenifia! Hello!" The one with black hair called, waving. Jenifia quirked an eyebrow but didn't say anything. She figured that they just wanted to say hello. Boy, was she wrong.

"Hello, ladies. Wonderful day, huh?" Jenifia said, holding her arms up in the air and averting her eyes upward. Just then, the one with black hair sent a punch to Jenifia's stomach, which made her stumble back a bit, "Ow. That hurt a little." she said, rubbing her abdomen tenderly.

"Listen, just because you're the new female in the group, doesn't mean that you get to be all friendly with Aizen-sama." Loly said, looking at Jenifia scornfully.

"Listen, slut, just because you serve no real purpose other than being the girl that Aizen could never get, doesn't mean that you can push me around. Got it, Loly-chan? Or do I have to repeat it slowly so you can understand?" Jenifia said, raising an eyebrow hatefully.

"Don't insult me, bitch!" Loly said, rushing toward Jenifia with a glowing ball of red Cero in her hand.

"Heh," Jenifia said, turning sideways and elbowing Loly in the stomach to push her up against a wall. Jenifia planted her hand on the wall right beside Loly's face, "Pathetic. Listen, Loly. There's a reason why you were created. Because you're a slut, and that's all you know. I know exactly why he created you two, and that's because he was just getting a little lonely. Now, get outta my sight, you filthy trash." Jenifia said, taking her hand away from the wall. Just as she turned her back, Menoly, the blonde one, ran toward Jenifia, also with a glowing ball of Cero in her hand.

"Jenifia!" Menoly yelled, getting very, really mad. Jenifia looked back and smirked.

"Don't think you can defend your friend." Jenifia said, using sonido to get behind Menoly and deliver a powerful kick to the back of her head, Menoly smacking into a wall, face-first. The wall crumbled from the blow and fell on top of Menoly. Jenifia turned toward Loly, who was still up against the wall, "Your turn." she mused, a big smirk on her face.

"Jenifia, what are you doing?" a stoic voice said from a doorway. Jenifia turned to find out the it was the one-and-only, Ulquiorra Schiffer.

"Killing time." she said, chuckling a bit.

"Stop your foolishness and get back into bed." Ulquiorra said, obviously not finding that what he said was very... suggestive.

"You've been sneaking around with Ulquiorra?! Oh, this is juicy!!" Loly said, rubbing her hands together schemingly. Just as Loly was about to run off and probably tell someone of this 'news', Jenifia stopped her.

"Hey, slut!" Jenifia yelled, not bothering to turn her head. Loly stupidly turned around and replied.

"What?" Which made Jenifia laugh a little.

"Before you go off and spread the bogus shit, remember this. Unless you wanna end up like Menoly here, I wouldn't." Jenifia said, turning around and giving Loly the most frightening look she's ever given someone. A look almost as scary as one of Ulquiorra's.

"Y-ye-yes, ma'am!" Loly said, completely and utterly freaked out. She ran off. Hell, she was probably gonna do it anyway, but it was fun making her squirm. Jenifia wore a huge smile on her face as she turned back to Ulquiorra.

"So, do you really think I need to go back to bed?" Jenifia said, pointing at her legs. Ulquiorra appeared as if he got the point, "But," she said, holding up her finger, "I do need to go find Aizen!" She ran off as quickly as she could, feeling all around for Aizen's reiatsu. She finally found it and she rushed in to find Aizen and Loly... KISSING?!

"Ah, Jenifia, I see your legs have gotten better." Aizen said, untangling his hand from her hair. Jenifia laughed nervously, grabbing onto her left arm and drawing a small circle with her pointer finger.

"You know, I just assumed. I never would've guessed I was right." Jenifia said, looking to her left.

"About what?" Aizen asked, now completely seperated from Loly.

"I-... Never mind. Um, Szayel, yesterday he told me that I was to report to you when I got better." Jenifia said, dropping her right arm and looking directly at Aizen.

"Ah, yes. You have a mission to accomplish. But, you will not be going alone." Aizen said.

"Who will be going with me, Aizen-sama?" she asked.

"Ulquiorra. He will be going with you because he is formidibly strong, and because I am just not sending you out on your first mission alone." Aizen reasoned. A small 'ah' came from Jenifia's mouth, and Loly's eyes widened.

"Aizen-sama! Ulquiorra and Jenifia are--" Loly said, but was interrupted by Jenifia clearing her throat loudly. Loly looked toward her and Jenifia gave her the "Stare of Death", as Jenifia now affectionatly calls it. Loly then learned to keep her mouth shut, because personally, I wouldn't wanna be crushed by rubble, either.

"Um, Aizen-sama?" Jenifia called.

"Yes?" he asked shortly.

"Has Ulquiorra been notified yet?" Jenifia asked.

"Of course. As a matter of fact, he's standing right outside the door. Ulquiorra, will you please come in?" Aizen said, as Ulquiorra slowly and impassively walked in.

"Ulquiorra-san!" Jenifia said, smiling. Ulquiorra passed by her as if she were nothing but a mere fly on a wall. The hands resting by Jenifia's sides were now rolled up into small fists. The bottom eyelid of her right eye started twitching, which meant she was very pissed. But she decided not to say anything, considering Aizen was right there, "Aizen-sama, what is the purpose of the mission?" she said, trying to get to Aizen before Ulquiorra could. She did, and now Ulquiorra seemed very pissed.

"You will be exploring a newly discovered part of Hueco Mundo." Aizen said, smiling.

"Ah. So, I take it the Hollows there aren't too friendly?" Jenifia said humorously.

"You are correct. It took Gin and Tousen just to take out a few." Aizen said, looking toward the afore mentioned ex-shinigami. Gin's crazy smile sat warmly on his face and Tousen seemed to be paying a lot of attention to what Aizen was saying.

"So, you're sending me with Ulquiorra? He's the strongest you could get?" Jenifia said, hoping to insult Ulquiorra a bit. When she felt Ulquiorra's reiatsu weight get a little heavier, she knew she'd done it.

"Ulquiorra is very capable of accompanying you." Aizen said, looking toward the stoic figure standing in front of Jenifia.

"Whatever, just as long as he doesn't get in my way." Jenifia said. Ulquiorra turned toward her, but all she could do was put a sarcastic smile on her face. It seemed like Aizen had to stifle a laugh, which only made Jenifia smile more.


Okay, well it seems the Ulquiorra and Jenifia aren't on the best of terms. Haha. But anyway, this is a very long chapter. I think this was longer than the first chapter. R&R is appreciated!!
