So I usually don't use intros, but I want to somewhat apologize for my lateness though I say somewhat because I go for quality over quantity. :D And also welcome to the new followers and thank you to the old ones. Love you guys now read. Also review because I can't read minds and your opinions matter! Thank you :D

"Why do you entertain her idea?" Yoruichi asked.

"Hmmmm?" Uruhara asked. Yoruichi simply smacked his head.

"Don't 'hmmmmm' me you and I both know that-"

"Grimmjow doesn't need to be human. Yes, that Szayzel conducted experiments with souls DNA and blood in a technical sense. But Nala has a valid theory and an error or two doesn't destroy that." Uruhara looked to the door.

"Plus after the day she's had was it really so bad to throw her a bone?"

Nala sat beside Ururu outside of Ishiins office, thinking back on the day's events. Even now her stomach recalled the twists it had made as she jumped in front of Ichigos sword. The sword didn't scare her as much as Grimmjow being in front of it. Nala remembered the last time her stomach twisted.

Why was she so scared? Grimmjow was about as big of an asshole as assholes came. It was just that this morning they were walking to the shop and he was . . . defending her?

Nala gave into the sudden wave of tiredness that came over her. As she drifted her eyelids lazily a nagging feeling sprouted a stubby stem in her stomach. She remembered teeth in a smile. She smiled back and let go. The ghost stories, the potential killer in her home were all obsolete as she followed that smile into a nightmare she remembered just before she fell asleep.

In Ishiin's office Ishiin admired Nala's flimsy first aid.

"This is incredibly well done . . . considering she is not trained." Grimmjow just sat staring at the door.

"Whatever." he managed to grumble. Ishiin gave him a childish glare at his carelessness.

"Now now you should really respect what Nala has done for you." Grimmjow kept on ignoring him and Ishiin grew a little upset. "I haven't seen Nala care about somebody since her mother left." Grimmjows head lifted a little. "Ah ha so now I have your attention". Ishiin smiled knowingly. Grimmjow slowly looked to him.

"Why did her mother leave." he demanded.

"Why does any mother leave their child?" Grimmjow didn't know.

"Death. You see Nala's mother was a nurse I used to work with, she was working one day with an unstable patient and they stabbed her with a carelessly left scalpel . . . repeatedly." Grimmjow seemed a little horrified as Ishiin continued his story, hushed, afraid Nala might hear." It was too late when we finally were ready to operate. And poor little Nala. She was waiting all day with the sick children like she always did, playing with the long term children and waiting for her mother to come and take her home. I haven't seen her at the hospital since. So I make house calls now that I run my own clinic." End of story.

Grimmjow was back to staring at the door.

"So this whole ghost thing is a little . . . "

"Late, yes." They both sat there for a moment. Ishiin sighed and went back to smiling. "Now story time is over. I must take care of Nala."

Ururu looked up a little as the office door opened.

"Oh thank goodness" She said meekly, "Maybe you can help me." Ishiin and Grimmjow looked to see Ururu with Nala sprawled randomly on her. One arm was over her shoulder the other at a diagonal across her body. Nala was cheek to cheek with Ururu, drooling and her legs twisted away from Ururu, bending underneath her and across to the edge of the bench. Ishiin smiled as Grimmjow looked comically aghast at the sight.

"Grimmjow would you mind helping me wake her up?" Grimmjow shrugged and went nose to nose with Nala. He took a deep breath,

"HEY WAKE THE HELL UP!" He screamed at the top of his lungs. Immediatley Nala flinched and punched Grimmjow square in the jaw with a small bloodcurdling scream.

"OUCH! AH HELL! OUCH! FUCK! AHHHHH!" Grimmjow screamed rolling along the floor.

"OW! You think you hurt? Imagine the hand that just punched your jaw." Nala glared for a moment as the word jaw registered in her brain. Nala lost her glare and saw the smile again. The one that had a skeletal jaw over a cheek.

"What are you staring at?" Grimmjow asked glaring back at Nala. Nala just resumed glaring and looked away. Grimmjow seemed a bit overwhelmed by her silence. Surley he had expected an answer.

Ishiin and Ururu were just on lookers for a moment before Ishiin interrupted the two.

"Well now, shall we get you fixed up Nala?"

As the door closed Nala took her seat. She didn't bother to hide it from Ishiin.

Ishiin looked at her worriedly and began to pick out the stones that had stuck themselves in Nala's arms. Nala simply touched her jaw and looked towards the looked a little frightened at the piece of jaw she remembered. She couldn't remember exactly why it frightened her, it just ... did? Actually she wasn't sure what it made her feel at the moment.

"Do you trust him?" Ishiin asked, as if he had carried on a conversation with her train of thought.

"Hell no." She did not hesitate, but she smiled. "But I don't trust anyone anymore. That'll be the day."

The ride over was silent. Grimmjow just looked around finding something to glare at in substitute for Nala. Nala looked out the window with a rather amusing glance of concentration. The moment that the car pulled into the drive way Grimmjow hopped out. He opened the door to Nala's seat, gravity pulling away her concentration. Grimmjow leaned against the door.

"Come on." He said, with an unusual tone of boredom. Nala unbuckled and hopped out of the car, not even taking a second glance to see Grimmjow closing the car door. Ishiin walked in first,

"Well hello there Dave!" Nala and Grimmjow went to her room. Ururu stayed in the car at Nala's request.

It only took Grimmjow a moment to pack considering all he had were his new clothes . Nala took a couple minutes longer. She ran about the room taking clothes off of hangers and gathering multiple electrical cords. Lastly she filed in a sketch pad and multiple paints and pencils. Grimmjow gave a good long stare at her bag.

"I don't know shit about you." he realized. Nala looked to him for a moment before chuckling.

"What the hell is so funny?"

"Just that I know most everything about you. I mean other than being an asshole I know all about you and that Aiz-blah blah blah dick, your past.Your whole need for power and enjoyment of beating the living shit out of people and that you're a potential physco. Can't forget that part. Basically sums you up"

Grimmjow stared at the ceiling rather bored with everything he already knew. "Well I know one thing about you."

"And what is that?"

"You're a hardass." They both cracked a smile. Nala zipped her bag and they headed down the stairs and to Uruharas shop, with only a small protest from Dave, soon forgetting his daughter with another episode of Jerry Springer. Grimmjow couldn't validate why he got so angry at Dave in that instant, but he soon realized that Ishiin was pulling him out the door with a confused looking Nala standing witness.

"What the fuck is going on today?" She simply questioned, her eyes wide and heart pounding. She regained her physical composure quickly, but she walked slowly back to the car where Grimmjow looked annoyed ... yet again. Nala then forgot the incident and huffed at the thought of sitting next to him on the way to Uruhara's.

"Pleasant." She grumbled.

The stalker felt very amused. His experiment was indeed having very promising results. A few more weeks and they may be ready for what was planned. He then turned away. Being gone may more than likely prove whether their actions were honest or pressure of being under a microscope. This would prove to be very important to his reasearch and his orders. So a more subtle approach was necessary and already in place.

The action is coming ... NEXT CHAPTER DUN DUN DUN! And this is probably the last you'll hear from me so bye :)
