Don't mah chapter names just kick ass? (And for people who actually read 'Eyes Like Fire', I'm going to work on it soon, kay?)
Chapter 3: Espiar
To spy on
That night, R'mekia did not sleep well at all. She had dreams of Shinji, Hiyori, and all of her other vaizard friends torturing her in her sleep. When she awoke, her body was drenched in a cold sweat.
"Shimata," R'mekia held her head with one hand and sighed.
R'mekia put on her new Arrancar outfit and decided to tattoo herself with marks similar to Ulquiorra's and Grimmjow's. When she was finished, she had a red diamond under her right eye and a green triangle under her left.
When R'mekia opened the door, she was face-to-face with Ulquiorra who was just about to politely knock and ask her if she was ready.
"…" Ulquiorra was at a loss for words.
R'mekia decided to break the silence, "Ikuze, Ulquiorra." She then looked up at a tall Arrancar towering over her with brown skin and weird ridges on his head, "And I assume you are, Yammy, na?"
Yammy looked down at her, smirking, "So you're R'mekia, ne? There's been talk about the Espada 'bout you."
Ulquiorra stepped harshly on Yammy's toe, "Urusai, Yammy. Ikuzo."
The three of them walked off, Yammy limping in pain.
"That him, Ulquiorra?"
Ulquiorra sighed a heavy annoyed sigh and shook his head, "You need to work on your analytical skills, Yammy."
Yammy sighed, "Tch."
R'mekia sighed walking through the town she sighed as Yammy took out a small wave of pitiful humans with his gonzui.
"Ho?" R'mekia looked up. "It seems that we have a survivor, na?" She walked towards the trembling tom-boy looking girl and smirking, crouching down next to her. R'mekia smirked and gave her a swift kick to the stomach sending her flying.
"Bye-bye!" She tauntingly said to her and opened her palm, a red ball of energy forming in it.
Yammy's eyes widened, "Cero ka? She-"
"She's a vaizard, Yammy. Vaizard's can do almost any basic attacks hollows can. Are you really that dense?" Ulquiorra mockingly shook his head.
Yammy stiffened and continued to watch R'mekia.
R'mekia was about to release the forming cero, but before she could do anymore damage, she heard, "Watashi wa kotetsu suru: Koten Zanshun!" (I reject: Solitary Sacred Cutting Shield!)
R'mekia watched the amply-bosomed girl fire a fairy-like thing whizzing by her, "Nani?"
R'mekia did a back flip, kicking the fairy-thing back to where it was sent from, "Nande ya hen?" She sighed, suddenly appearing behind Orihime with her shunpo, "You have some nerve, kisama." She gave her a swift kick to the waist and jumped high into the air landing next to Ulquiorra gracefully.
"Ulquiorra," she said. "I'll be going now."
He nodded, "Go, do what you must and meet us back her, R'mekia-san."
Yammy watched as R'mekia used her shunpo to follow the reiatsus of the Quincy. He frowned, "How come she gets to go off on separate missions, Ulquiorra? Huh?"
Ulquiorra merely closed his eyes and coldly responded, "Because she's stronger than you, possibly even stronger than me."
Yammy winced yet again.
R'mekia appeared outside a deserted building and saw that the Quincy was fighting, 'Another Quincy? Are they trainin' or sumthin'?' She continued to watch, hovering near the window.
As the two Quincy raged on, she confirmed that they were very-well training, "So ka."
She watched as Ishida nearly dodged an arrow to the shoulder. She sighed, 'It seems like he doesn't have that much potential.' She turned on her foot but before she could go, an arrow was fired near her side, narrowly missing her face.
"Teme-no-yaru!" She turned to face the white-haired gentlemen who had fired the arrow at him. Her voice was drenched with hatred, "Kisama-yaru."
"Who are you and what do you want?" He sternly demanded, forming another arrow and aiming it at her, ready to shoot.
R'mekia laughed, "Betsu ni, now that I've seen how pitiful that Quincy is. That boy of yours is not even worth Aizen-taicho's time."
Ishida froze, "Aizen-taicho?"
R'mekia gave him a twisted smile, "Not the first time you've heard his voice, eh?" She appeared in front of him and ran her index finger down his face, "Quincy." She gave him a sharp jab to the stomach that sent him colliding into the wall.
Ishida coughed miserably, 'What is she?' He struggled to get up and ran full speed at her bringing back his hand for a punch. R'mekia easily blocked it and threw him a punch of her own, sending him flying into the wall.
Ryuken let go of an arrow, R'mekia blocked it with her zanpakto, "That all you got, teme?" R'mekia, however, was bluffing, the force of the arrow was surprisingly forceful and it had taken both of her hands to brace it.
R'mekia, however, did not spot that he had shot another behind her and was almost hit in the back – luckily, R'mekia noticed and stepped out of the way.
R'mekia clutched her side that had been grazed by the arrow, "Hm, not bad." R'mekia internally swore, 'Shimata! I'll have to finish this fast… the father is much better than the son.'
She rushed forward and sliced at him with her zanpakto. A silver hair fell to the floor. R'mekia swore, 'I missed?'
Ryuken then fired a direct hit to her stomach only for R'mekia to stop it with her bare hands. Blood streamed to the floor, "That's a lot of power ya go packed in here." She threw it to the floor. "Demo…"
R'mekia jumped up, using Ishida's father's head as a vault and landed next to the window where she had come from.
"Sumimasen na, teme-tachi, I must go now." She chuckled and jumped out.
When R'mekia had returned, the battle was nearing a close as Ulquiorra single-handedly deflected an energy blast from Urahara's Benihime. R'mekia appeared beside him.
"You're late," Ulquiorra coldly said to her. "Have you been fighting?" He mentioned to the cut on her side and her hands that were still bleeding, "You're injured." He took her hands in his and examined them, ignoring R'mekia's faint blush.
When Ulquiorra let go, R'mekia sighed, "Sumimasen, things got a little out of hand… there where two of them."
Ulquiorra's eyebrow raised, "San ka?" (Two?)
"Ee, one older one, probably the father, and the son," R'mekia stated.
Ulquiorra noted that the Quincy was not with her, "You have no interest for the younger one?"
She shook his head, "He can't even properly dodge one of my jabs: he's trash. " She said the last word with venom. "Zannen ya, and here I was thinking Aizen-taicho could use him." She sighed, "Shikata nai ya."
"But what about the other one? He managed to injure your hands quite nicely."
R'mekia winced, "He's… different."
Ulquiorra was about to pester her some more when Yoruichi spoke.
Yoruichi looked up from Orihime and swore. Her eyes narrowed as she uttered, "Ogawa, you had some nerve to become a vaizard… but joining with them is just unacceptable."
Ichigo's eyes widened, 'So she's like me and Shinji? That girl?' He looked at her, she didn't look like a vaizard, but then again, Shinji and him really didn't either.
R'mekia whipped around, "Ho? It's been a long time since I've heard that name." She chuckled dryly, "And who are you to say what's acceptable and what's not, Yoruichi? Remember, you ran off with Urahara over there… isn't that a little… 'unacceptable?'" R'mekia's cold teal eyes pierced Yoruichi's golden-yellow ones.
Yoruichi winced, she did have a point. R'mekia saw this and laughed coldly, "As I thought."
Ulquiorra moved his hand, "Ikuzo, R'mekia-san, Yammy. I'm going to tell Aizen-sama that the orange-haired shinigami that he had his eyes on, is trash and not even worth killing."
"Bye-bye now baka-tachi, we'll meet again… I promise," R'mekia smirked evilly at them and the three of them were out of sight.
As they were walking, R'mekia noticed Yammy was carrying his arm in one hand.
R'mekia gave a disapproving look at Yammy, "So even him, the unstable vaizard took your arm off? You're weak, Yammy."
Yammy winced, she was almost as bad as Ulquiorra, "Urusai! How dare you, a vaizard order me, an Arrancar around!"
Ulquiorra jabbed him sharply in the stomach, sending him stumbling back, doubling over in pain.
"Yammy," he snapped, his voice as cold as venom. "Know your place. R'mekia-san is stronger than you are, thus she can order you around. You will obey her, understand?" His green eyes pieced Yammy's, sending shiver's down his back. When he did not get an answer he repeated, "Understand?"
"H-hai."
R'mekia smirked, "Luckily you took care of that Ulquiorra, or else it would've gotten pretty bloody in here." She chuckled.
Yammy stopped, beads of sweat streaming down his neck.
Ulquiorra ignored Yammy and ordered sharply, "Ikuzo, Yammy, Aizen-sama will not forgive your insolence nor our lateness."
"Aah, R'mekia, Ulquiorra, Yammy – you have returned," Aizen smiled down at them. "Oh? It seems that you haven't brought the Quincy, R'mekia?"
R'mekia nodded, "He would not be an asset to our cause, Aizen-taicho."
Szayel Aporro Grantz pouted, "Aww… and I wanted so badly to experiment on one. Can you make an exception, Aizen?"
Aizen waved Grantz' comment away, "Ulquiorra, would you mind showing us what happen?"
"Hai, Aizen-sama."
R'mekia watched silently as Ulquiorra removed his left eye and crushed it. Dust surrounded the Espada and Aizen.
'What a strange ability… very useful though,' R'mekia thought.
After a while Aizen announced to them, "Very well, you have done well, minna."
Hiyori looked at Shinji. Shinji shook his head, "There's nothin' we can do now. Do ya know how we can go after her? Na?"
Hiyori lashed out at him, "Demo! We can't just leave her like tha'! She's betrayed us Shinji! We gotta do sumthin'!"
Shinji turned away and added darkly, "Beware of those who betray their masters… they may in turn betray you." He then casually walked away, hands in his pant pockets leaving Hiyori to throw her sandal on the floor in utter contempt.
'I'll get ya, Remekia. If it's tha last thing I do!' Hiyori clutched her fist tightly. 'And here I was thinkin' that you were my friend… I was mistaken.'
Aww! Ulquiorra likes R'mekia! He's actually standing up for her! (I know it's subtle, but he's not the type that'll suddenly want to 'make sexy time' with her... that's more like Grimmjow. xD)
More Grimmjow stuff and possibly I'll incorporate some other Arrancar in there, too.
