Hazardous Adventure

Chapter 7: First Class Ticket to Chaos


(Zommari - House)

Zommari watched in horror as his apartment floor went up in smoke. As tired as he was he forced his legs to run up the stairs. He barged inside.

"Lord Aizen!"

He sighed in relief when he noticed the group was fine.

"Gin shut off the fire alarm before we have the firefighters show up!" Aizen said.

Gin quickly went into the kitchen to shut off the alarm that had started going off.

Nnoitra nearly fainted when he saw Zommari at the door. "Holy shit man! What the fuck is on your face!?"

Zommari had what looked like blood on his face along with burn marks.

"It's fake blood and paint." Zommari said. "I must say though, the staff did an excellent job at making it look real if it ignited that reaction from you of all people Nnoitra."

"You're telling me you seriously went out in public like that?" Aaroniero questioned. "Must have been quite humorous."

Grimmjow snorted. "You're one to talk, you have two weird ass heads inside a jar."

Starrk chuckled at that.

"I'll have you know I always look like this when I walk out!" Aaroniero retorted, pointing to his Kaien body.

"I took the quiet route anyway," Zommari reassured.

"Enough," Ulquiorra interrupted. "I think we have more pressing matters at hand."

"Indeed." Barragan added.

"Yeah, like a half naked chick in our place." Yammy added.

"Which one, Halibel or Nelliel?" Grimmjow joked earning several laughs and a death glare from Halibel.

"Nice one." Nnoitra laughed.

"Joke time is over." Aizen said sharply. He crouched down by a confused Nel. "How are you feeling my dear?"

"Well... not so good." Nel replied. "Kind of sleepy," she added as an afterthought.

"I second that," Starrk agreed. "Can I go back to sleep now?"

"Obviously you fail to see the problem here Starrk." Ulquiorra said.

"Yeah, seems we have two ladies in the house now." Gin added.

"Just freaking let her sleep in the floor." Yammy said.

"Yammy mind your manners for that is very rude," Aizen scolded. "We can't just simply allow a lady to sleep on the floor."

"She could take a hike, or just send her back to Hueco Mundo." Nnoitra suggested bitterly.

"I am not about to just send her away Nnoitra, didn't I warn you about having manners?" Aizen replied.

"What do you suggest we do lord Aizen?" Ulquiorra asked.

Aizen pinched the bridge of his nose in a frustrated manner. "You can sleep on my bed Nelliel, that is until we'll fix this dilemma."

Nel blushed at the insinuation.

"Of course I won't be present in the room." Aizen added, slightly offended that she'd think he was like that. "What kind of man do you take me for?"

Nel waved her hands apologetically. "No I wasn't thinking anything lord Aizen, in fact I'm honored by your kind offer."

"The damn problem is solved now." Barragan said. "I'm going back to sleep."

"Everyone follow Barragan's lead and go to sleep." Aizen ordered as he settled on the floor.

The morning after and Ulquiorra was the first to awaken.

"Good mornin' Ulquiorra."

Ulquiorra ignored Gin's greeting and headed for the bathroom. "If you need me I'll be in the shower."

"Hm..." Gin murmured as Ulquiorra disappeared into the bathroom. "That's becoming quite the popular phrase round' here."

"Yo Gin, make us some breakfast." Grimmjow rudely said.

"Did someone say breakfast..." Yammy mumbled in his sleep.

Gin sighed and headed for the kitchen. These guys just didn't appreciate his hard work.

Halibel stirred awake right when Ulquiorra emerged from the bathroom.

"Bathroom is free." He said before grabbing his green cap and heading out.

"I call dibs!" Nnoitra said. He shot up and bolted to the bathroom, only to be tripped before he'd even made a step forward.

Halibel smirked at her handiwork before going inside the bathroom.

"Bitch." Nnoitra growled from his position.

"Haven't you heard of ladies first?" Szayel joked.

"I could give a rat's ass about that." Nnoitra retorted. "First come first serve, and besides I called dibs."

"We'll all have our turn, patience is a virtue my dear espada."

"Good morning lord Aizen." Aaroniero greeted.

"Same to you, where's Ulquiorra?"

"He left for work." Grimmjow answered.

"Speaking of work, shouldn't you all be there?"

"Actually lord Aizen, I don't start yet." Szayel replied. "And Halibel starts a few days after I do."

"I'm suppose to meet up with my manager later in the afternoon." Aaroniero added.

"That is fine I suppose."

At that moment Nel came out the room. "Good morning everyone."

"Suck it," Nnoitra responded spitefully.

"I see you have yet to mature Nnoitra." Nel said.

Nnoitra gritted his teeth. "What did you—"

"Shut up already you bunch of babies," Barragan cut in. "You give me a headache with your constant stupidity."

"Hey old geezer, do us all a favor and drop dead." Nnoitra spat. "You're way pass your expiration date anyway."

"Hah!" Grimmjow laughed.

Barragan twitched. "Perhaps I should put you out of your misery."

"Easy my espada, it's to early in the day for this." Aizen groaned. He was getting tired of this. He had no idea they could be such a pain. It was much easier being in Las Noches where all he had to do was see these guys on their espada meetings.

Nel walked over and sat down next to Grimmjow. "By the way I never thanked you for taking care of me."

Grimmjow snorted. "Gimme a break, I don't want your thanks. Besides I didn't allow you to follow me you just followed me. To be honest you were a big pain in my ass."

Nel gave him a small smile. "Well thank you anyways."

Grimmjow scooted away, not being use to any compliments or soft words. "Whatever."

"Shower is free," Halibel called as she exited the bathroom.

"It's my turn." Aizen said, his tone indicating that there will be no arguments on this.

A couple of bathroom turns later and breakfast was ready.

"Come and get it everyone!" Gin said.

They all eagerly scrambled to eat except for Zommari whom hadn't budged. Surprisingly he stayed sleeping, a task normally meant for Starrk. One thing was clear, he had a long night.

"Do you have to wear that retarded apron?" Nnoitra asked, entering the kitchen.

"I like it." Gin replied. He had grown fond of his 'kiss the cook' apron. "I can't cook without it."

"You know the drill my espada, take your plates and eat in the living room. Make sure not to drop any food and no feet on the coffee table."

"I'm good with that." Grimmjow replied.

"Woohoo! More boxing time!" Yammy cheered, following Grimmjow to the living room.

"Not again, let's watch something else this time." Starrk complained.

At the table were Aizen, Nel, Barragan and Gin.

"So Nelliel, ya' sleep well?" Gin asked cheerfully.

"Oh yeah, thanks to lord Aizen of course," Nel answered. "He was nice enough to lend me his bed."

"There's no need to thank me Nelliel, you're one of us after all."

"That reminds me," Barragan started after taking a sip of his coffee. "We don't have any open positions on the espada army anymore."

Nel had almost forgotten that she was an espada. She worked for Aizen, which means she'll most likely return to working for him. It wasn't necessarily a bad thing, just that she was enjoying the non-fighting life.

"I'll think of something," Aizen stated. "This lovely lady was a good asset to my army and she still is."

"Yeah," Gin agreed. "You're still part of our big happy family Nelliel."

Nel chuckled. "If that's what you want to call it."

"This is more like a dysfunctional family if you ask me." Barragan murmured, taking another sip of his coffee.

(Ulquiorra)

Ulquiorra suppressed his frustration as his truck approached the woman's house. Speaking of women, he had forgotten to tell Aizen about this.

This just infuriated him even more. It was completely unacceptable. To actually commit such a foolish act of forgetting to relay information. It was just ridiculous. Normally it'd be that loudmouth Nnoitra or the moron Grimmjow who'd make an error like this.

He could always lie and say he just saw her today. Than again he was above making excuses like that. Again, something suited for idiots like Nnoitra and Grimmjow.

"Oh you're back. I really like your hat."

Ulquiorra pushed the thoughts away and instead focused on his job, trying his best to ignore the woman's presence.

"Did you eat already?" Orihime asked, taking a bite of her onigiri.

Ulquiorra frowned. No, no he hadn't eaten a thing. He just left the house with nothing in his stomach. Curse this weak human body. Seeing her eat that rice ball right in front of him was just cruel and it was making his stomach grumble. Loudly too.

Unfortunately for him Orihime heard.

"Oh my, you haven't eaten have you?"

And before Ulquiorra could respond the woman had disappeared into her home and rushed back out, clumsily holding a plate in her hands.

"Here." She said, pushing the plate forward. "I had some leftover that I didn't finish. You're welcome to eat it."

Ulquiorra stared at the plate of rice balls, a part him begging him to take it while the more rational part telling him to decline as he did not need her kindness.

"Don't be shy, take it," she offered again.

He frowned again, he was NOT shy.

"Ulquiorra move it!" Yuki shouted, honking the horn to emphasize his impatience.

Wordlessly he took the plate from her and headed for the truck, but not before murmuring:

"I'll return this to you tomorrow woman."

Orihime waved a goodbye. "See you tomorrow!"

"Nice girlfriend ya got there Ulquiorra," Yuki commented smugly when Ulquiorra entered the truck. "She looks out for you and all."

Ulquiorra shot him an irritated look. "I have no use for what ever this 'girlfriend' thing you speak of is, nor should you. Focus on the job as I am."

"You're a weird guy, but I like ya," Yuki replied, chuckling slightly. "I think she likes you too."

Ulquiorra simply began eating his riceball.

(House)

Once they were finished with their meals and had a few time to lazy around, Aaroniero had departed to meet his manager and Yammy had left for training. Aizen decided now was the time to speak.

"Since the majority of you are staying, I think this is a perfect time to discuss an important topic," Aizen motioned for Grimmjow. "Okay Grimmjow if you may, please inform everyone of your idea."

Grimmjow stood up from the couch. "So a lot of us don't have jobs yet, so since you don't you'll be participating in my production."

"The hell?" Starrk said.

"Is this what you meant by having a job for me Aizen?" Nnoitra asked incredulously.

"Yes."

"To my knowledge, there is a lot of money to be made from these teen drama bullcrap shows that are aired on TV," Grimmjow explained. "So I have decided to make one of my own."

"Oh that sounds interesting, can I take part in it too?" Gin asked.

"Yeah, but since you're our cook you'll only be a crappy reoccurring character." Grimmjow replied.

"Aww..."

Nnoitra angrily crossed his arms. "This is freaking bull, I'm not gonna participate in this half-assed idea you probably thought up off in five seconds."

"Since you do not hava job Nnoitra you WILL most definitely be a part of this." Aizen replied.

Grimmjow smirked. "And since you're oh so excited to be a part of this Nnoitra, you get to be the star. In other words you're the sappy loser who goes through all the boring obstacles."

"Are you kidding me?! I can't be seen in those lame ass shits!"

"Shut up already!" Grimmjow snapped. "I'm making the rules here cos' I'm the director!"

"What role do I have Grimmjow?" Starrk said.

"You're going to be the guy who gets in between the star and his woman, in other words you're the cock-blocker."

"Seems troublesome and boring, but whatever." Starrk groaned.

"Barragan you're gonna be the annoying dad that won't allow his daughter to be with a loser like Nnoitra, or in other words you're cock-blocker number two."

Barragan muttered a curse under his breath. This was beyond stupid.

"May I ask who the lady will be?" Starrk asked.

Grimmjow turned to Halibel. "Halibel are you sure—"

"I'm sure, count me out. I have a job waiting for me already." Halibel replied.

Nel patted Grimmjow's shoulder sympathetically. "Don't worry Grimmjow, I'm sure you'll find someone else."

Grimmjow sighed. "Where the hell am I gonna find a girl to take her spot?"

Barragan almost facepalmed at that. "You do realize there is a girl standing right next to you?"

It finally sunk in for Grimmjow and he grinned in success. "Of course! There is someone else!"

"W-What who?" Nel asked nervously.

"You Nelliel, you'll be the female lead in—"

"No way!" Nnoitra shouted, making an 'X' gesture. "There is no way in hell that I'm working with her!"

"For once I agree with him," Nel added, not pleased at all. "He is a child, I can't possibly work with him."

"Kiss my ass woman!" Nnoitra retorted. "This isn't gonna work."

"You two will do what Grimmjow says." Aizen said. "If he says you're the stars than you're the stars. There will be no debating this."

Nnoitra's mouth fell agape. "B-But— she... I—" he trailed off unable to display his anguish.

"Alright Nelliel, you're gonna be the female lead. In other words you're the true love." Grimmjow added.

"T-True l-l-love," Nnoitra muttered incoherently, before rushing to the bathroom to puke.

"I can already tell I won't enjoy this." Nel grumbled.

Nnoitra dashed back into the room wearing a pair of hopeful eyes. "Wait! Why can't Starrk be the main star?"

"Cos' he's to lazy to be starring as the lead, so I gave him a role with less work," Grimmjow answered. "Besides, I like messing with you."

"Oh fuck you."

"Well, shall we begin the production?" Aizen suggested.

Grimmjow smiled proudly. "Let's put this train into motion."

"Wait... what's a train?" Starrk said.

Grimmjow facepalmed.

And throughout it all Zommari hadn't budged and was still sleeping. The poor guy had a long night.


Author's Notes

Poor Nnoitra might blow his brains out from having to be stuck with Nel. Next up, the Grimmjow productions will be launched.

Oh and Zommari had a long night.
