***Chapter 6***

***Grimmjow's POV***

"Oi, wake up!" I hissed, prodding Hara's side. She mumbled something and rolled over out of my reach, pulling my jacket over her head in the process.

I growled and sat up, glaring at her. "Hara, get up." I growled.

She didn't move.

I cursed and reached as far as I could, my fingers barely curling around her ankle. "Get the hell up, Goddammit!" I shouted, making her jump and on reflex kick, making my fingers crack against the cell bars.

"Ah!" I snarled, pulling back angrily.

"Muhwha-?!" she gasped, raising her head and staring at me sleepily. She yawned and rubbed at her eyes, before shaking her head of sleep. "What is it?" Her eyes narrowed; "Why are you holding your hand like that?"

I glared at her, "Never mind. Tch, I'd wake the dead before I'd wake you…" I flexed my hand to make sure my hand still worked, "And you kick like a friggin' demon when you're asleep."

"Sorry," she chuckled. Hara let out a yawn and stretched her arms over her head; my jacket fell into her lap. "Eh?" She picked it up and looked from it to me.

"You were shivering," I growled, "You should have worn something warmer."

She stuck her tongue out at me, "It's not like I planned on ending up in here." She sniffed the jacket, "Mmm…it smells like your shampoo…"

I rolled my eyes, "Can I have it back if you're done smelling it? I'm cold too ya know."

She gave me her famous grin before tossing it to my outstretched hand, "Thanks Grimm," she said.

I shrugged and put on my jacket before I ran a hand through my hair to force it out of my eyes.

"So why'd you wake me up? Is something going on?" she asked.

"Yeah. Do you hear that?" I asked, nodding towards the door. She tilted her head and closed her eyes; sounds of crashing and yelling could be heard, followed by other voices crying out.

In other words, it sounded like all hell was breaking lose out there.

"What the-!?"

BANG!!!

The door flew open and slammed against the wall; Hara and I jumped, both pulling into defensive positions. Smoke poured into the cell room, followed by a staggering shape.

"Akon?" coughed Hara as she waved away the smoke. "What the hell is going on?"

He stumbled to our cells, grabbing onto the bars to hold himself up. My eyebrow rose at his appearance; the guy's hair was standing on end and a few strands were smoking as if they had been on fire. His face was smudged with soot and he had a cut on his right cheek.

"You guys under attack or something?" I asked.

Hara and I exchanged a glance when he began to laugh, his eyes wide; it was not a sane laugh. "K-Kurotsuchi-san is h-having a bad m-morning…" he stammered, "He-"

"AKON!" shouted the prick of a captain, "Get out here now! You need to finish the preparations, NOW!"

"Y-yes Kurotsuchi-taicho!" he yelled, tripping over himself before running out of the room.

A minute later, "AND JUST WHERE ARE MY SUBJECTS?! IMBECILE! DID I TELL YOU NOT TO BRING THEM?!" shrieked the captain. There was a cry of pain followed by cussing, "CURSES! NEMU, BE USEFUL FOR ONCE AND BRING ME THE PRISONERS!"

"Yes, Mayuri-sama." The woman appeared in the doorway, looking as calm as ever. She walked up to our cells and opened the doors, "Mayuri-sama would like to conduct the interrogation now. Please follow me."

I got to my feet and slid out of the cell; it would be very easy for us to just escape-

"Not yet," hissed Hara at my side. Damn, sometimes she could read me like a book. I stared at her; Not yet…? Did that mean she had something in mind? A grin spread over my face as I followed the lieutenant into the main room, Hara at my side.

The room was more or less free of smoke, so we could now see what had caused it. There were a few craters in the walls, and a crumpled looking metal table against a far wall. The few shinigami that were in there were running around frantically, looking as though they thought Mayuri was going to attack them at any random second.

I chuckled when a brown haired girl turned to see Hara and I walk up; she let out a squeak and almost dropped her papers, her eyes wide. I gave her an evil grin, I couldn't help myself. All these shinigami were afraid of me-as they should.

Hara shook her head at me, but was grinning nonetheless.

"Ahem," coughed the captain, "If you are done frightening my squad…"

We both turned to see him standing behind us, grinning maliciously. I glared at him while Hara seemed unaffected, her expression cocky and relaxed. Kurotsuchi frowned slightly, his eyes narrowing before he turned away and began walking down a smoke-free hallway.

"This way," he snapped.

Hara and I didn't move.

Kurotsuchi turned around, "Now!"

"No need to be pushy," chuckled Hara as she began walking. I followed, my hands shoved into my pockets.

I grinned and leaned towards her, "Oi… what kind of things did you do to him when you were a kid?" I whispered, curious. It was obvious that Kurotsuchi didn't like her much...so what caused it?

Hara paused, a grin flashing over her face as she thought about it. "Well let's see… Once I set fire to his lab… which then caught his hat on fire…"

Kurotsuchi flinched and glanced back at us, his eyes furious.

"Then there was the time that I cut the power to his main computer… Oh!" she laughed, "Once Zuro and I snuck in and switched labels on his test tubes… Come to think of it, that's how things caught fire… He mixed the wrong things together…Oh! And we let out all his test subjects… all in the same day…"

Hara grinned as wide as she could as the captain froze, his back tense as he wheeled around.

"Do you know how long it took to fix the damage you two caused?" he shrieked.

"No," she sung back, causing him to grit his teeth.

He led us a bit further down the hall, before he stopped and opened the door. "I am going to make this as painful as possible…"

Hara just laughed and winked at me as we walked into the room.
