The next day
I drop of Yachiru at Nel's place. Grimmjow was sitting clam up on the sofa. I ask him with my eyes what was wrong.
"That prick is on purposely rubbing dirt in my face one of these days I'm a snap"Grimmjow open up to me. I took it he was venting on Byakuya since he too gave me the wrong impression. I ponder over the chances of him insulting Nel too since she was an ex espada.
"Oh Grimmjow it's not that bad be grateful Yachiru is potty train"Nel answer walking in the living room.
"Ch"Grimmjow snorted under his breath. Yachiru was heard racing up the stairs looking for her toys to play with. I strain my ears catching her feet coming back down.
"No way I'm a deal with little girls no way I'm going to"Grimmjow look at Yachiru who arrive dragging a large size doll house. I look at Nel who look rather giddy about it.
"Where did you get that" I asked a little perplex at the fancy purple ribbons wrap around the set and a giant bow on top to go with it.
"Byakushi bought it for me"Yachiru answer proudly.
"Son of a..."Grimmjow snarl in a low growl at his name mention.
"Shh"Nel answer him rather ecstatic herself at the play set.
"Figures"Grimmjow mutter still finishing his sentence. I got up and excuse myself leaving Grimmjow at her mercy.
I went back at Zaraki's place this time he and his loyal trustees were there. I walk in not making eye contact with them.
"Harribel would you like to go shopping with Yumichika?"Zaraki asked me. I look at Yumichika trying to figure out why he was going shopping over the other two. This guy may be trying to squeeze me for info no doubt. I wonder how close he was to Rangiku. I would soon find out that he was not that close to her.
"Why do you want to do that? Isn't that a woman's job?"I asked sounding a lot like Nnoitora. Ikkaku smirk at him then look at me.
"See even she said the same thing"Ikkaku poke Yumichika in the ribs. Yumichika just ignore him and answer me with a serious face.
"I saw a bunch of cute clothes and thought you would like to step out you know get some fresh air plus we could pick something up for Yachiru" Yumichika added slyly. Right away my intuition told me to be on guard around this one for he may be a lot more than he appears. I was so sure he was gay but the thought of mistaking him when he's not made me question my thought.
Zaraki look at me with interest to see if I was going to turn him down but I accepted his offer since I was no chicken. Yumichika stroll out letting me follow him from behind. I was about to ask him for money but he quickly assure me that he had some. We made our way to the mall which I like to add was very expensive at least in comparison to the Living. I wasn't interested in buying a lot since I felt rude in spending other people's money.
"You know it's not like this is the first time I've gone shopping for them"Yumichika answer peering through the windows to get a good view of Men's wear. I just kept my head straight not shaking or nodding it. Yumichika look away from the clothes and gaze into my eyes. I look at him for a second before looking at a lingerie store.
"Do you need anything?"Yumichika asked following my eyes to the store. I shook my head but kept my mouth shut. Yumichika just kept walking and made his way into a girl's clothing store that offer all kinds of goodies for underage misses. I follow him in and help pick out the clothes she would no doubt like. After we selected a good amount we made our way to the cashier. I look at the woman in front of us who had a little girl in her midst. I felt my eyes become watery since I knew I wanted a child of my own but was rob of it from Aizen.
Yumichika just shifted in the line carrying the clothes. It was hard as it was to try and get this woman to lighten up of course he would not have care but Zaraki insisted she be observe in different ways not just as a mother image. Yumichika look over at Tia and notice she was rather sad by the sight of a little girl holding her mother's hand. Was it possible a nerve had struck? Before he could gather more information the woman step away allowing him to move forth.
