Chapter 7: Cubby House
"Nope not this one either" Yachiru shut yet another door. "So many of these rooms have nothing in them, their so big and empty" she complained setting the basket down, giving her arms a good stretch.
"I hope wes find somewhere soon" said Nel.
"I'm sure we will come on" Yachiru picked up her end of the basket and headed up some stairs to the end of the corridor. Darn this ends in another corridor. Yachiru looked to her right down the corridor, then to her left. Both looked the same. "Lets go left." She announced as she started to make her way down the western end of the corridor. "Wait" Nel began. "I think if we go right wes will find the room we're looking for"
"How would you know that?"
"Nel just knows somehow."
"Hmmm…. Ok then I guess it is your turn to pick which direction we go it. It probably leads to a dead end though" she said as she followed Nel down the eastern end of the corridor. As they walked around the corner at the end of the corridor they saw a large door on the right. It was by far the largest door they had come across. "Wow, there is something down here after all. Well done Greenie." The girls pushed hard on to the doors and to their delight the doors slowly opened to reveal a large hall. In the middle of the hall was a long table that looked like it could seat roughly eleven to thirteen people.
"This looks good" said Nel surveying the room "do you think it will do?"
"Yeah, this table is perfect for a cubby. Hey Greenie are you sure you haven't been here before, it almost seems like you knew this room was here."
"Nel hasn't even been in the palace before, I didn't know this place was here."
"Oh well it doesn't matter" said Yachiru bending down and grabbing the sheet on top. Lets make this cubby house."
The girls spent the next half hour designing and decorating their cubby house, taking full advantage of the long table and the many chairs. Before long the cubby house was really taking shape. The pillows were scattered around inside the cubby house for the girls to sit on and they even tore some small holes in the sheets to make windows.
"Ahhh…finally done" Yachiru stretched out on one of the pillows.
"That was really fun" Nel said as she looked out a window. "I wish wes could dos something about the rest of the hall though.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, this cubby looks nice and homey but there's nothing to look at outside. Nel knows we can't make a garden, but I wish there was something wes could do to make it nicer outside."
Yachiru considered this for a moment. "That could be fixed" she said slowly reaching inside her robes "I usually bring a packet of these where ever I go just in case something needs brightening up" she revealed a packed of crayons of various colours. "I've used these all around the soul society to make things look nicer. Once I took it upon myself to redecorate all the captains' offices. But for some reason most captains didn't appreciate my hard work."
Nel couldn't help suspecting that there was a very good reason the captains hadn't appreciated Yachiru's 'redecorating'. "What kind of things did you draw?"
"Oh just things that I thought they would like, like in Mayrui's room I did a forest seem with fairies frolicking in a clearing cause…well I cant remember the reason at the moment, and in Byakuya's room I drew smiley faces because he needs to be happier, and in Hitsugaya's room I drew things like toy trucks and puppies because he's still young and I thought he would like that kind of thing."
"Did they ever knew it was you?"
"Nope"
Nel looked at the packet of crayons. "Nel doesn't think there will be enough, we will probably run out."
"No these are special crayons, they have some kind of kido spell on them so that they will never run out. We could do this whole hall.
"Well" said Nel picking up a green crayon "lets get started"
The girls set to work colouring in the walls. The started at the bottom, making a green garden with many different coloured flowers and a number of trees. Nell drew many of the insects that can be found around a garden like butterflies, bees and dragonflies while Yachiru concentrated on drawing animals like birds, squirrels and cats. They both used blue to colour in the sky and for clouds they simply left the wall untouched, the white of the wall was perfect for clouds. Both girls helped colour in the sun, a variety of different shades of yellow and orange, they even coloured the floor in green to make it look like they were walking on the grass.
"Ahhh… this is perfect" said Nel sitting on a pillow and admiring the job they had done.
"Yes a job well done." Yachiru commented sitting down next to Nel. "I have to admit Greenie, you're a good person to work with"
"Thankyou, so ar-"
"What the hell is going on here!?" came a voice from the door. Yachiru looked round to the source of the voice. There stood a strong looking man with a hole in his lower stomach and electric blue hair.
"Uhoh, we're in for it now" whispered Nell. "That's Master Grimmjow!"
Hi again readers!
I hope you enjoyed reading this chapter, I enjoyed writing it.
Well I said I would have this new chapter posted on Wednesday and I finally managed to do it at 11:43 Wednesday night. Yay
We again get to see what Yachiru likes to get up to back in the Soul Society, she's a busy person with jumping on beds and redecorating offices.
Well the next chapter is called 'Escape' and we will get to see part of it from Grimmjow's pov.
Only three more chapters to go.
Yay?
Escape will be posted sometime on Christmas day, despite the fact that it has nothing to do with Christmas.
Oh well, I guess I'd better go. I'm meeting a friend tomorrow for a Christmas breakfast so I cant sleep in (which is sad)
See you all later
Love Rhi
Please remember to review as many people so far have forgotten ;-)
