"Aizen-sama, the prisoner escaped" Ulquiorra announced, bowing. There was a brief look of anger in Aizen's eyes.
"How long ago?" he asked, returning to his calm and collected self.
"She seems to have gone missing some time after dark. We do, however, have Grimmjow Jaggerjack who was found in Inoue Orihime's bed" Ulquiorra reported.
"Get him" Aizen ordered.
Grimmjow was led into a small room with no windows and only a table with two chairs.
"Sit" Aizen ordered, sitting across from the turquoise haired arrancar.
"I'll stand" Grimmjow said, glaring at the chair next to him.
"Sit" Aizen repeated, finally getting Grimmjow to sit down. There was a moment of tense silence before they were joined by Tosen, Gin, and Ulquiorra.
"Where is the prisoner?" Tosen demanded.
"How the hell am I supposed to know?!" Grimmjow shouted. Ulquiorra stepped forward, whipping Grimmjow hard.
"You were reported to be the last person to come in contact with her, therefore you knew about her escape" Aizen explained.
"Heard ya laid her" Gin interjected.
"What?! I didn't! We didn't do anything like that!" Grimmjow snapped. Ulquiorra snapped the whip again, breaking the arrancar's flesh.
"We need your cooperation" Aizen said.
"He will not help us. We should just kill him" Tosen growled, pulling out his zanpakuto.
"Patience Tosen, he will talk" Aizen assured.
"Oh yeah?! You cocky arrogant bastard!" Grimmjow yelled. Tosen, losing the last of his fragile patience, grabbed the whip and began to beat him with all his force. Grimmjow cried out in immense pain, his blood spattering onto the white floor and walls. His vision slowly became blurry as he crumpled to the floor, about to give in. Suddenly two figures burst through the door, dragging a disgruntled figure behind them.
"We've found the prisoner" they announced in unison, tossing the badly beaten Orihime to the floor. She slowly raised her head, looking around the room.
"Grimmjow-san!" she exclaimed, pulling herself toward him.
"Where...the hell...were you?" he growled, trying to raise himself.
"I'm so sorry!" she sobbed, gently caressing his wounds.
Ulquiorra quickly grabbed his zanpakuto, pointing at her throat.
"Don't even think about it" Grimmjow snapped, grabbing Orihime and pulling her close to him. He pulled out his zanpakuto, preparing to fight.
