***Chapter 4
***Hara's POV***
"Dinner," growled Akon, as he pushed a tray of food through a small opening that suddenly appeared between bars; the smell was intoxicating to me as I hadn't eaten since breakfast, and by the feel of it, it was now late evening.
I could hear Grimm starting to wake up; he had fallen asleep a few hours ago, while I didn't.
Since he fell asleep, I was trying to plan out what we were going to do. Somehow, Kami-willing we got the hell out of here; we'd head straight to Hueco Mundo to same Orihime. There was no way I'd leave her there to suffer a sad fate that Aizen would dish out to her. But, that would mean we'd have to fight our way in there, and fight our way back out. And that means…I'd have to face Zuro…
I shook my head as if to shred off the thoughts for the moment, and scooted over to Akon.
"Oi," I said, "What's with those spikes on your forehead?" When we were in the academy, he looked normal-as normal as he got anyway. (Author's Note: Akon was around during the "Turn Back the Pendulum Arc" when he was a kid. Because I didn't realize this until now and I don't want to change the story line too much, I'll just have it where Akon was working as a teacher's assistant at the academy.)
"Eh?" he stared at me, "Oh these?" he poked at the hornlike spikes. Grinning he said, "Cool, huh?"
I stuck my tongue out at him, "Weird."
Akon frowned at me, while I dragged the tray towards me and began examining it. There was some meat and vegetables over rice, as well as some water. "Man, I'm gone for a few years, and when I come back, everybody's accessorized themselves somehow." I laughed, "I mean look at Renji, he's all tattooed, and then you go and add... horns?"
"We'll we have to keep things interesting," he replied, smiling a bit.
"Oi, do I get food too or what?" growled Grimmjow as he came out of the shadows. Akon flinched and drew back, and I could hear the grin that flashed across Grimm's face.
"Uh I'll go get it," he muttered, running out of the room.
"Do you have to scare off everyone?" I asked, shaking my head at him.
"Do you have to flirt with every guy?" he countered.
I scowled. "Flirting? I wasn't flirting! Stop getting all jealous every time I talk to a guy!"
"Jealous?! I'm not jealous!" he cried.
"Sure…" I laughed, sliding towards him. He was frowning at me, his eyes glinting in the dark. I reached through the bars and touched his cheek, "Ne… why do you feel you have to get jealous? You know I only want you…"
He closed his eyes as I stroked his face, before he gently squeezed my hand in his. "I know," he purred softly, "But I can't help it…"
I laughed softly, "Baka," before I leaned in to kiss him. Behind me the door opened loudly, causing Grimmjow to turn his head and me to flinch.
"Ow!" Grimmjow and I cried in unison; my nose had connected with the hollow fragment on his cheek, hard.
I slid back to the wall holding my nose and letting out a growl of pain, my eyes watering.
"Crap that hurt. Are you okay?" he growled, rubbing the side of his face.
"You're saying that hurt you?!" I cried, as I felt blood run down my chin, "Grimm, I think you broke my nose!"
I heard him cuss, before Akon suddenly appeared.
"…Broke your nose? What happened Yume?" He flashed a kido light at me, and I could see blood all over my chest.
"Err… When you opened the door it made me jump and accidently hit the bar with my nose," I growled. Akon let out a sigh, before he opened the door and walked in.
"Let me see… I can probably fix it…" He came towards me and pulled my hands away from my nose. I whimpered and flinched; it really hurt!
Grimmjow shifted closer, scowling at Akon.
"Hold…still…" muttered Akon, reaching out. He carefully began to twist it back into shape, causing me to scream.
"Oi be careful!" snarled Grimmjow; of course, this made Akon jump, and my nose twisted further than it should, this time the other way.
"EEYYYAAAAHH YOU DUMBASS!" I shrieked, kicking Akon straight in the chest; I was calling them both dumbasses though. Akon flew out of the cell in surprise, landing on his butt, before he scrambled up.
"Crap! I'm sorry! Are you okay?!" he cried.
"Do I look okay?!" I yelled, glaring at him and then Grimmjow. Both of them came towards me, and I shrank away, growling. "Don't come near me! If you do I'll probably end up worse!"
I put both my hands around my nose, and squeezing my eyes shut, put it back in place myself. It hurt like hell, and I let out a howl of pain as I did.
Just as I opened my eyes to glare at them, the door was blasted open.
"What is with all this ruckus?!" shrieked Kurotsuchi, his yellow eyes flashing from Akon to the open cell door, to me.
"Uh… I…" stammered Akon, "She-Ayumi-san needs a medic, her nose is…broken."
The oddly adorned captain stomped towards him, his expression livid.
"And why is her nose broken? Are you deliberately trying to sabotage my specimens?! They must be in good shape for my experiments tomorrow!"
Akon bowed; his expression fearful. "I am truly sorry, Kurotsuchi-taicho!" he cried. "I will fix it immediate-!"
"No," snapped Mayuri, "Go back to your post. I will fix your mistake."
"H-hai!" cried Akon, before stumbling towards the door.
I rose to my feet as the 12 division captain came towards me; Grimmjow did the same, his eyes glinting dangerously.
Mayuri smiled; his teeth bright in the dark room. "Still causing me trouble, eh Ayumi?"
I glowered at him, my hands over my nose as I used kido to slowly heal the swelling. "Don't you know it."
He leaned in towards me, his hands curling around the bars. "I see your abilities have increased…" his eyes glinted, "It will be very interesting to see just how much." Mayuri turned to look at Grimmjow, "And you… You will make a nice addition to my data collection…"
Grimmjow opened his mouth to say something; I had an inkling it would have some cussing directed at the clown faced bastard, but before he had uttered a single word, Mayuri pressed something on his wrist which buzzed with electricity.
Grimmjow screamed in pain and doubled over, the bands on his wrists glowing white hot.
"Grimmjow!" I cried, running over to him. He got to his feet shakily, his breath coming in pants.
"Bastar-"
Mayuri hit it again and Grimmjow sank to his knees, his teeth bared in pain. "I will not allow my specimens to talk back to me-"
He slid back, barely dodging the swipe I took at his face. I snarled and tried to reach him, before I kicked the bars in anger.
"What the hell did you do to him!?" I demanded, my eyes burning silver.
Mayuri pulled a small device out of his sleeve, holding it up so I could see. I tried to grab for it, but he pulled back with a malicious chuckle.
"Oh no Miss Ayumi, I wouldn't let you take away my fun yet." He grinned at the little metal box, before looking up. "This little goodie I made allows me to keep my specimens in check." He put in back in his sleeve before sighing. "Sadly the General Commander has made it where I cannot use it on shinigami… Otherwise you too would be wearing this." He went to Grimmjow's cell, a grin spreading ear from ear, "Pity you are not a shinigami, eh my arrancar friend?"
The sadistic captain went to the door. "I think that is enough treatment for tonight… Sleep well; tomorrow we shall begin examination." He laughed, shutting the door behind him.
When he was out of earshot, I let out a long string of cuss words in both Japanese and English, causing Grimmjow to stare at me in shock, before he chuckled slightly.
I sank down into a sitting position, letting out a mixture of a growl and a sigh. I turned to him, "You okay Grimm?" I asked.
He leaned against the bars, wincing slightly. "Don't worry about it." He growled. I watched as he rubbed at the bands on his wrists; the skin beneath was red and bleeding.
I slid my hands through the bars and gently tugged his arms towards me; he didn't resist. "Let me heal those…"I muttered. I concentrated on the wounds and began healing them slowly. The light from the kido illuminated the room, glinting off the metal bars and the bands around his wrists.
"Ne…" he said suddenly. "I just realized… How are you able to do this if you have those handcuffs on?" I didn't stop healing him, but my eyes did widen. The handcuffs were supposed to seal in all reitsu, meaning I shouldn't be able to use hado of any kind.
"Hmm… I don't know…" I laughed, "Maybe these handcuffs are faulty…" I pushed more of my energy into his wounds, watching with satisfaction as they healed. "Ah, all done." I started to pull back, but he caught my hands in his.
"Thanks," he purred. I nodded and pressed my forehead against the cool bars with a sigh, my body tired from using up energy to heal him. Grimm leaned in and rested his forehead against mine; I opened my eyes.
"Your nose okay?" he asked.
"Yeah, I fixed it…" I scowled at him. "Not that you helped much." I growled.
He grinned slightly, and I grinned back. "Sorry." He laughed, kissing my forehead before he sat back and released my hands.
I stuck my tongue out at him. "It did hurt, you know." I growled. "Che, you always cause me trouble, don't you?" I added, laughing.
"Psh. Shut up, you cause plenty of trouble yourself!" he snarled.
I stuck my tongue out at him, before lying down against the bars, my hands behind my head. I heard him lay down with a sigh beside me.
"What do you think that prick has planned for us tomorrow?" he asked.
"Dunno." I replied, opening an eye. "Hopefully nothing too unpleasant…But then again, this is Kurotsuchi we're talking about."
"If he tries anything, I'm going to kill him," growled Grimm. I chuckled, before my expression darkened as I thought about those strange bands on his wrists.
"Not if I kill him first…" I muttered, before closing my eyes.
