Chapter 8
I was fucked. I was so beyond fucked it was beyond comprehensible to my brain.
"G-Grimmjow, you do know that you can possibly kill me, right?" He only gave me a very sadistic grin in reply.
"Well then, less weak vermin around here then." He then swung his sword. Thankfully, I somehow dodged. Kami, this was going to be fucking horrible, especially with how my luck runs half the time.
"Concentrate your riatsu to your feet so you can sonido." Thank Kami for zanpacktos! I don't think I could survive here without her... Even though I still don't know her name. "It'll also help you dodge faster." I nodded to myself and tried to concentrate, but that was quickly failing with Grimmjow flinging Pantera at me like I was some kind of vegetable to be minced.
I reminded myself how, once again, I was so beyond screwed right now.
For a person who doesn't do a lot except sit and cry all day, I have some amazing endurance. Of course, I can't keep up with the blue kitty for long when said kitty keeps speeding up his attacks. However, practice with Sonido is good!
"Draw me." I almost hesitated in doing that, but decided that following my zanpackto's advice would be a good thing, so I did draw her. Thank kami it was on time too! Grimmjow brought down his blade on top of her and started pushing.
Now then, I may have great endurance, but strength? Nuh-uh, not happening.
When Pantera was close to cutting my face, Grimmjow pulled back and admired the blade in my hand. "You know the name?" I blushed and shook my head. Of course I don't, because that is my bloody luck. He grinned. "Well, time to figure it out!"
"Dammit, Grimmjow!" And like that, my tongue got the better of me. Oh well, time to let my inner cusser out. "What the fuck is with you? I'm going to fucking die!"
"So she does have a mouth on her~!" I looked over to see the spoon-looking Espada watching us. You know, the one with the eyepatch? I always forget his name...
"Pay attention!" I moved to the side on a whim. I looked over to see that Grimmjow had put his sword into the ground trying to stab me.
By this point, I was panicking. I didn't know what to do and and my instincts were on overdrive.
"Help me." I hissed to my zanpackto. "I'm going to fucking die here!"
"Say my name..." Alright, look, I can't say a name if I don't know it, and I don't have time for guessing games!
"My name..." The blades kept clashing together, the sounds of metal meeting metal ringing throughout the clearing. It had this kind of rhythm to it if I listened, oddly enough.
Music... Why did I get this incredibly good feeling when I think of it?
"Say it." I scowled as Grimmjow finally locked me with his sword. I stood there, struggling to think of her name. Her name was what I needed to survive! It had something to do with music... The blanks weren't filling in yet.
Grimmjow chuckled. "So, you are weak." He pulled back and raised the sword, a maniacal grin glued to his face. "Say goodbye!" And the sword started to swing down.
"SAY IT!"
Then it clicked.
"début, Ongaku no kujaku"
Ulquiorra watched the two fight. Really, it wasn't a fight. Grimmjow simply chased the little mouse that was Alice while the quarto espada simply stood there, not really interfering, even though he wanted to.
Ulquiorra sighed and turned his back, the inevitable death of the new espada hanging at the back of his mind. He scowled. Why should he care, she was trash, garbage, nothing more!
A black hole seemed to fill him when he thought of this. What was this, a feeling? Regret, was it?
"What the hell?!" Grimmjow's surprised yell told Ulquiorra to turn around and he did. Grimmjow was now standing a few feet away from Alice, who was standing like she just got there and was not exhausted at all. Compared to earlier, this was certainly a surprise.
Her zanpackto hung at her side, humming away. Ulquiorra raised one invisible brow, wondering what had just happened. Nnoitra giggled from his place next to me. "She finally found out the name of her zanpackto~!" His giggles turned into a cackle. "Wouldn't Lord Aizen be pleased by this information?"
Irritation wormed its way up my spine. Hearing the Quinto talk was quite irritating.
Alice looked down at her zanpackto, which was now a brilliant white with a handle that was swathed in black silk. The silk trailed out of her hand, just barely touching her knee. It was a brilliant weapon, and not many zanpacktos were white. Ulquiorra wondered at the significance of this zanpackto. Maybe that annoying Syzael could do some study on his new companion.
"Well, look what you did! You released your shikai!" Grimmjow said, grinning. "That means I can step up a bit." Ulquiorra thought that she couldn't get any more white, but Alice did. It was surprising, but she did. The only indicator was that the tear marks she had faded.
Another sigh escaped the Espada. He wanted to step in, but his curiosity was too much for him. He really wanted to know what would happen, so he stayed.
Grimmjow attacked, his sword at his side and a grin painted permanently on his face. They clashed swords, and it finally seemed that Alice was holding her own with the blue-haired idiot. They shunpoed off (Ulquiorra didn't know that she could shunpo already, but he only filed it away in the folder labeled 'Alice'), their blades clashing every once in a while.
When her shikai was released, Alice had an influxuation of riatsu, which could be a very good or a very bad thing... Probably a bad thing, considering everyone's luck regarding power. This made Ulquiorra wonder what her Bankai form would be, if it was at all similar to his.
A scowl slowly came upon Ulquiorra's face. That trash was going to drive him insane with questions.
I felt the power. It sung in my veins and danced behind my eyes. Was this what it felt like to be powerful?
It was so... delicious.
"Now you know." I heard Ongaku nu kujaku's voice in my head, smug and completely happy. If she was a cat, she totally would have purred. But she's a peacock, so I think she would rather be strutting around showing off her feathers. "I can not teach you attacks just yet, young one, but I will teach you how to control your riatsu." This was probably the most helpful of all zanpackto's that I have ever met.
Grimmjow leaned forward and grinned, licking his lips. "Now you are a challenge to me~!" I rolled my eyes, but that fear still coursed through my veins. It was now second dominant to the power that was caressing me lovingly. He cackled, locking our blades together once again. This time, my muscles were ready and held him off no problem. I totally need to work on my muscles, but right now, I'm eternally grateful that the power Ongaku nu kujaku was providing to me helped give me some muscle for now.
Then, I almost freaked out again.
"I like this new one~! Grimmjow, let's not kill her~!" It was a different feminine voice and I was floored. Was that... Pantera? I heard her giggle, but the connection was cut off once Grimmjow jumped back.
"What the fuck..." I said, shocked.
"Oh, yes, you also get to hear other zanpacktos, but it's only when they are in contact with me... for now." Dammit, I don't need this! Having one voice in my head is bad enough, I don't want to hear anymore join in the confusion! "Don't worry, it's only when I'm in shikai form. Otherwise, you don't hear them." I sighed in relief.
This is really going to suck.
Just as Grimmjow looked like he was going to jump me again (not sexually), clapping diverted everyone's attention to the newcomer.
"Well, looks like ya found ya zanpackto, hm?" I nodded. Gin Ichimaru's grin only seemed to grow wider. "Well, that's wonderful~! But that's not why I'm here." I sighed and sheathed Ongaku nu kujaku, faintly noticing that her shikai form was still activated. He crooked a finger towards. "Come along, Alice, we need to talk~!"
Great. More things going wrong. What more do I need?
Yay, you guys get to see the zanpackto's name, her shikai form, and one of the powers that Alice now gets :3 I'm hoping this will go over well (it won't trust me ;3), so please do enjoy~
