"Yeah let's go for it''He supports his ex-captain. Nel went ahead and tugged on Orihime's hand.
"But it's wrong"Orihime protests.
"Shhh they won't know"Nel laughs. I watched them moved up. I glance at Pesche.
"Shall we?" I asked.
"Yeah"Pesche nods. I went ahead and follow them. To our surprise we were able to slip in. I imagine because of the way Orihime and Nel dressed that's why. Mila merely stood there looking fierce.
"Hey baby" Mila purrs to Pesche. He slid his arm around her.
"Any trouble?" He asked searching the sights.
"Not yet but we're one person away from getting in" Mila winks at him.
I glance at the big bouncer in the way. I suddenly recognize him. He had long red hair on one side of the scalp and short black hair on the other side of his head. It was Edrad Liones. I was afraid Orihime would recognize him from the assault but she didn't.
He merely inspects the girls as they made their way in. I on purposely held back so I wasn't associated with Orihime or Mila Rose. As soon as they were usher in he stopped me. I raised a blonde eyebrow at him. I saw his nose was still broken from our past scuffle.
I was afraid he would say something to me but to my surprise he didn't. He merely pats me down and turns me around. He sighs but he signals me to turn. I frown but I do so. I wasn't sure why I was the only one getting frisked vs. the women were let in freely.
"Is something wrong?" I answer dryly. Edrad spoke but in a soft voice.
"You best behave tonight. Our leader is in there so no outburst got it?" He hissed. I only pale.
"You mean him?" I refer to yakuza Aizen.
"Exact a mundo plus he owns the joint so be courteous"Edrad enlightens me. I just swallow but I stepped through. I blink as I appeared with the others.
I notice Nel was looking inpatient vs. Orihime was more concern. Dondachakka and Pesche were cracking jokes together. Mila on the other hand was aware of my dilemma. She just search the premise for Aizen but he was nowhere to be seen. If anything he was well hidden.
I was under the impression he was meeting someone important. Perhaps that was why he chose this particular outing to schedule his debut. Either way I was sure it had nothing to do with me so I merely kept my mouth shut.
"Alright let's get some drinks"Pesche replied. He leads us to a fancy bar.
I simply lean against the elegant counter but I kept my eyes peeled for Aizen or his henchmen. I observe the variety of men and women gathered tonight. I glance upwards and notice a balcony.
I had a feeling that was where Aizen was. I could hear Pesche ordering us a round. I remain still as I watched the upstairs for any sign of movement but there was none.
"Hey get yours"Pesche laughed. He merely shoved my drink in my hand.
"Thanks" I reply but I didn't look away. I kept my gaze on the room I was sure that existed behind the balcony. Orihime glance up and smile.
"Oh I didn't notice that" She answers innocently.
"Neither did I"Nel laughed. She polishes her drink and hits the dance floor.
"Make some room" She sang.
Pesche and Mila Rose followed her. Dondachakka remain lingering. Orihime glance at me.
"Are you gonna dance?" She asked. I nod but I spoke without looking away.
"Why don't you dance with Dondachakka and I'll take the next one" I pressed her to go on without me. She bit her lip but she obeys. Dondachakka lit up when she asked him to go with her. I remain sitting and waiting.
"Would you like another round?" the female bartender inquires.
"Hai"I reply. When I didn't turn around to face her she merely frowns.
"Do you want to go upstairs or something?" She asked. This remark surprises me and it showed. I turned around.
"Why are we allow too?" I asked. She gathers some ice and places it in my empty glass.
"Well you could I mean it's up to you but I do know there is something going on" She whispers. I was about to ask her what but I heard a sharp intake. I glance over my shoulder.
I could see Byakuya Kuchiki heading up the stairs. As if that didn't puzzle me I also saw some men trailing behind him.
"What's he doing here?" I asked her.
"He must have received an invitation" She shares. I look back at her.
"What kind?" I asked. She shrugs but she pours me another beverage.
"I don't press my nose in the affairs. I just work here you know" She murmur.
