Dimensional Jump- Chapter 8: A Vampire's Stealth!

"Lord Aizen?" Szayel's voice echoed as he approached the said man, who remained sitting on his throne. He noticed Grimmjow's arm was missing and the very kitty himself was wondering out of the room in anger. He watched Tosen bow and turn to leave, though halted when he noticed him standing there in the hallway.

"Yes, Szayel Aporro?" Aizen's voice echoed and caused the pinkette to peer up at him. His brown eyes met golden ones and his lips curled into a smirk. Tosen had continued onward, walking past the scientist and ignoring him along the way,

Adjusting his glasses and moving one arm across his torso, Szayel gave a faint smile. "We have an unexpected guest. A soul reaper had appeared in the palace without being spotted, unlike Madarame (lol which one? :P). From what I've overheard, this 'Captain Kurotsuchi' scientist had 'embedded' some of the woman's reiatsu into her so a machine could send her to her Captain. She claimed she had a tracking device on her and hoped that they could see her... This 'machine' must be the key to-" Before Szayel could finish, Aizen cut him off and made him frown.

"I am well aware of the machine, Szayel Aporro. Who is this soul reaper?" He questioned the pinky and stood from his seat, then used flash step to appear next to the Espada.

"I believe her name was 'Maiya Donieri'. Correct me if I am wrong but, did you perhaps permit Madarame to use my lab for research?" He asked, watched as the high and mighty prick walked past him, then decided to tag along.

"Of course... I was confident that you or your other brethren would keep an eye on her, so that nothing went wrong. If she had lied to me about her predicament, I would've noticed from the beginning. She is not your average soul reaper, she is a soul reaper half breed; Her other half being a 'hollow dragon' as she stated before. As far as I'm aware, a hollow and soul reaper cannot simply coexist and breed to make a new species. Though from what Grimmjow had told me after the woman had left, she was able to use sonido and she even claimed she can open a garganta but not a senkaimone. So, she was being quite honest with her words." Aizen explained as he trotted down the hall, feeling the pinky tailing him from behind.

"Intriguing! So, she is indeed, from another dimension! In this world, she is not involved with the soul society or its people, correct?" He asked and chuckled, soon moving his arms against his backside.

"Yes." That was his simple reply then went on explaining Kai's situation further, about how she knew everyone from the Seireitei and Las Noches.

The said Goth was seen walking down the hall with Maiya by her side. Arms up behind her head, bored looking slits viewing the passing ceiling and her third seater looking at everything in awe. "Wow, everything's so white! Hey Kai, is this your great grandfather's palace in our world?" She questioned and looked up at her Captain from the side, with curiosity in her mauve orbs.

""Hah! It used to be, shorty. My old man stepped down from the damn throne two years ago though. He sucked up his pride instead of bein' a bitch about losin' his seat, so he let Harribel rule." She explained and took a turn around the corner. When she did, she almost ran right into someone. Her arms lowered and she clamped her hands onto her hips. "Eh...?" She sounded from annoyance and looked up at the person's face, it was Grimmjow. "Oi, kitty cat, where's pinky...? I told him to go tell Aizen about Maiya here, is he still on his high horse...?" Her low and displeased expression said it all and her lava eyes viewed the blues eyed Espada.

"Would you stop calling me that?!" Grimmy exclaimed through gritted teeth and growled under his breath; Both his hands were in his pockets, clenching. A faint flush on his cheeks grew, obviously embarrassed and enraged at the nickname she kept giving him. "Why should I tell you?! Go find him yourself, if you want to know so badly!" He rose his voice, walked past the two and...almost got tripped when Kai stuck her foot out before him. He halted in his tracks, stared down at her foot and growled under his breath.

"Hooohohohohooo...~ Don't mind if I do, 'pussy' cat.~" She teased, grinned and didn't even look his way.

"WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME?!" Grimmjow raged and twirled to face her, then punched the wall past her features. Maiya jumped slightly with wide eyes, stepped back and darted her eyes between the two with knitted brows.

"Captain, what are you doing?!" Donieri exclaimed in question. Only problem is, she knew..what she was doing, she just didn't want to be put to blame for not 'trying' to stop her from getting into trouble.

As if on cue, the goth got up in his face, stared directly into his blue irises and chuckled. All he could see were those swirling lava eyes of hers, he almost became mesmerized if it weren't for Szayel Aporro coming up from behind him. The goth was going to speak, when she saw the very man she was looking for and snapped... "There you are pinky!" She rose her voice, stomped on over to him and planted her hand on top of his head. "Looks like we're gonna be here for a long ass time, bruh...~" She sang playfully, chuckled and took out a piece of paper from one of her pockets. "Wrote some shit down, ya might find it useful man. Turns out, someone's gotta make the same damn machine in this world, to send me back! I don't know who frack can make a copy of that thing but, it sure as hell ain't me!" With that, the paper got shoved against his chest and she walked around the pinky.

Szayel was flabbergasted, she was going to take some getting used to... Sighing, the paper in his grasp got lifted up and his golden orbs examined its contents. Maiya had ran to catch up to her Captain, ignoring the two Espadas and hoped the information Kai wrote down really would be interesting.

"What is it...?" Grimmy asked and narrowed his blue eyes, with that frown remaining on his lips. Though from seeing the scientist's eyes widen in surprise, he guessed it was very sophisticated. Something like that coming from the goth, he'd be shocked too...

"Oh my Madarame, how astonishing! The very ingredients that make bones nearly resistant to disintegration from lava, is used in food that she ate in her world. The formula is impeccable, such details and how to combine the said contents with food is rather remarkable! I can only assume that she made this for me, so the food she eats here will have better resistance to her stomach's lava!" He paused and laughed like some maniac, smiling all the while. "On the way here, lord Aizen informed me of everything that Madarame told him. Her veins and stomach hold lava and her cells in the veins are resistant to the substance as well! Everything from her skin tissue to her organs, cannot be harmed by fire, lava, heat or even poison! I truly wish to experiment on her, so many possibilities there are!" He exclaimed and went on a gushing spree. So many ideas came to mind and he kept yapping about them, annoying the crap out of Grimmjow.

"WILL YOU SHUT UP, ALREADY?!" Grimkitty shouted and turned the other direction, choosing to head to his desired destination. "I've seen her with my own damn eyes! I don't need to be reminded..." He yelled on his way down and mumbled the last part. The lava cero is one of the many things he remembers about her, including the sonido. Everything she said was true when she told Aizen about it. If she was lying about her being a hollow and soul reaper, she wouldn't be able to use sonido. If Aizen claims she's telling the truth, then who is he to disagree...?

Maiya who walked by the goth's side, kept looking around like before. She and Kai were already down the hall a good ways, with thoughts swirling in her mind like some tornado. "Kai, where are we going now?" She questioned and looked over at her, blinking in the process.

"Gonna go see my old pal here, wonder if he has a dog too like in our world! In our world, Yammy had a hollow pup and that damn thing wouldn't quit bothering the hell outta me!" She laughed after she spoke and grinned. She remembered how adorable the pup was, how she gushed over it every time and held it. Not long did she stop in midst of her laughter and raise a brow in question. Her feet paused in mid step, she couldn't hear Maiya's feet patting behind her anymore. Slowly, she looked over her shoulder and peeked down at the small lady. "The hell's wrong with you...?" Her question didn't even get answered... Maiya was just standing there in a daze and a frown evident. So Kai fully faced her and leaned over to look into her mauve eyes. "Oi..." She added, then started snapping her fingers before her face.

"My Queen, doesn't this atmosphere feel so relieving...? I feel so much stronger here, more free and unrestrained." A voice echoed in Donieri's head and it bounced from high to low pitch. (Not like Aaroniero, it's only one voice after all.~)

"Schneider, I thought we had a talk about this... Never talk to me when I'm around someone, especially Kai!" Maiya replied back in her head. Schneider was one of her summons, her combat summon. She believes the creature is just from Vendethiel's power, a power that has its own consciousness.

"Forgive me, my lady... Don't worry, I'll make sure we're alone..next time.~" Schneider's voice resonated once more and that made her sigh from relief. Her mauve orbs looked up and saw an impatient Kaiorin, who was tapping her foot with crossed arms. "Sorry Kai, I was...talking to my zanpakuto!" She frantically lied and rubbed the back of her head. It was weird, the one that usually does the talking is Schneider. Hardly ever does Vendethiel speak, she always wondered why that was.

"Tch-, whatever bruh... Now c'mon, we're goin' to Yammy's room!" She grinned, pulled on Maiya's wrist and dragged her down the hall. Donieri was comically flailing behind her like a flag in harsh wind, since the goth was going ninety miles an hour...

"SLOW DOOOOOWN!" She screamed, flailed like a cloth in the breeze and was chibified.

In Kaiorin's home dimension-

"I can't believe this!" Kanda's voice yelled out in his mind, as he walked behind Ikkaku. A literal collar was around his neck and a leash, whilst his hands were tied behind his back. He was furious, the expression he gave was that of hatred. "He put a damn leash on my neck! THAT PRICK!" He mentally raged and fiddled with the rope around his wrists. Seeing the baldy chuckle and look over his shoulder, Ayzuko grew an irk mark on his head. "What's so funny, baldy...?" He asked with an upper lip curled, eyes narrowed and glaring at the man.

An irk mark throbbed on Ikkaku's head, after hearing that comment about his lack of hair. "You just got done delivering the stuff to the Head Captain, we're heading to squad eleven's training grounds! I'm gonna enjoy kicking your ass, so much...~" He chuckled and made a hysterical, dark expression.

"Not if I can kick yours first!" Kanda exclaimed and tried to wiggle free from the bindings.

"I'd love to see you try kid, you're bound right now!" Ikkaku laughed and tugged on the leash, causing the boy to fall flat on his face and get scooted across the rough pathway.

"Gah, damn it! You did that on purpose you bastard!" Ayzuko shouted and flailed about, trying to get free from the leash. His face was getting scraped across the ground and a blush tainted his cheeks. To him, being like this, was embarrassing as all out could be...

"You're fault for losing your feet!" Madarame shouted back, many bystanders watched with a puzzled look on their faces and a few of them were from squad eleven. Whispers and low cackles from some of the men occurred, making Kanda struggle to his feet. His outfit was all scratched up and his skin had some marks; He was unaffected regardless though.

"Screw you..." He mumbled and turned a corner when the baldy did, only for them both to come across Captain Zaraki.

"Hey Captain! Gonna go train this rookie." Ikkaku said as he passed the tall man, yanking on Kanda's leash all the while. He could hear a grunt from the boy, it was satisfactory to his ears since he hates him.

"Whatever, just don't go blowin' the place up!" Kenny answered with his risen, gravelly voice and continued onward, with Yachiru on his shoulder giggling.

"Teach him some manners, baldy! Hehehehe!" The child exclaimed, pumped a fist, with a smile plastered, and closed eyelids.

As Kanda was being pulled by the leash, the kid spotted something from the corner of his eye. A flash of red, faint pink and gray. So when he turned his head, he could've sworn he saw it. A brow rose and his mouth went agape, until he ran into Ikkaku's backside. "Hey, what's up with you?" He heard the third seater question and looked up, with an annoyed feature.

"Nothin', let's just get this over with!" Ayzuko grumbled right after Ikkaku said that and went ahead of him. The leash got yanked all of a sudden and it choked the day lights out of him, making him comically fly backwards past the scene.

Haro on the other hand, had flash stepped past the soul reapers, up on top of the walls. His faint pink and gray hair flailed behind him, along with his dark red trench coat that would shine blood red. The yellow glossing chains that was attached to his coat's backside, clang together along with the chains on his upper sleeves. That giant cross drill he carried, was being held like a spear. It got carried behind his back and the cross part was high above is head, so the drill wouldn't scrape across the ground. "Maiya, where could you be?~" He mentally questioned as he flashed from one spot to another, avoiding being noticed by others. He made sure to keep his spiritual pressure low, so to not cause an unwanted stir among the people.

His yellow gleaming, diamond shaped pupils examined everything as he sprinted. His destination was Captain Kurotsuchi's lab, the desire of wanting to know where she went was strong. Once he made it near the entrance of Mayuri's lab, he disappeared and reappeared in some bushes nearby. Scientific soul reapers passed by the very bush, chatting and talking about some sort of project that didn't even pique his interest. He was waiting, planning on eavesdropping on someone who just so happen to talk about his dear friend. Though when a stray male soul reaper stopped near the bush and yawned, it was his cue to act. Out came a clawed, pale hand grasping the man's mouth. All he could hear was muffled panicking and watched as the guy thrashed about to get free. Haro yanked the man into the bushes, pinned him against the ground and got in his face. "I'm sorry but, I need some help. Would you mind telling me what happened to Maiya Donieri?~" He asked, got closer to his face and chuckled.

The male soul reaper was breathing heavily out of fear, seeing two fangs stick out of his mouth and his glowing diamond slits staring right into his soul. (Haha, get it? 'Soul' reaper?) Nodding shakily, he felt the vampire's hand let go. "S-S-She was just...sent to another world!" The man exclaimed in a whisper, watching the vampire frown and narrow his eyes. "T-There's more!" He added, soon continuing his explanation. "She'll be coming back, don't worry...! Uh, I...I heard she was sent to go look for Captain Kaiorin Madarame! Captain Kurotsuchi made a machine that accidentally sent her into another dimension so, Miss Donieri is searching for her! That's all I know, I swear!" With that being said, Haro growled under his breath and covered the man's mouth again. He jerked the guy's head to the side, bared his teeth and the scene changed to view the bushes from afar. All that could be heard, was muffled screaming and crying.

About two minutes later he was done. "Mm...I haven't had decent blood like that, in...two years.~" He mentally sang and moaned at the taste. The vampire lord himself remained hidden and was about to move somewhere else, when he spotted Reicon exiting the lab. "Metal?" He asked in his head with a risen brow and crouched a bit lower toward the blood-drained corpse. Soon, a couple of other soul reapers from Soi-feng's squad appeared near the cyborg and they all began to leave through the front gate of Kurotsuchi's lab. "Hm, what have they done to you, Reicon?~" He mentally questioned and followed the cyborg, in hopes of getting answers. Since he got some nutrients in him, he felt as though he was starting to recover more.

Now they were wondering down one of the pathways of the seireitei. Reicon's vision was detecting Haro's presence. Though no signs of threat, he brushed it off and let the vampire follow. He knew no harm would be done if the man didn't attack or have any intentions of causing trouble. Ronin did pick up something though, his scanners said that he was curious, determined even; But for what, exactly? Metal did begin to wonder; How was he still alive, when Ikkaku killed him...? In one corner of his vision, a small portion of a map appeared and it showed just how far Haro was from him. The distance wasn't far but it was still decent too. "My love, it seems we'll have a visitor." He sent that as a message to Lady Kisaki and saw the senkaimone open before him. The two soul reapers were escorting him to Kisaki, he wanted to visit his beloved today but, wasn't expecting the dead to rise and follow him...

Haro watched from afar, seeing the soul reapers walk through the senkaimone gate and soon was followed by the cyborg. "I'm sure Lady Kisaki still controls him, so perhaps he's going to see her. I do hope my lady is alright. Last time I knew where she was, she was in the world of the living. I must go see her; She may know something about Captain Kurotsuchi's machine, that transported my dear Gothic Goddess and my friend to another realm. Mmm...my Gothic Goddess, oh how I wished I could taste those sweet lips of yours once more...~" He moaned in the last sentence and giggled like a madman. After Reicon had passed through, it was about to close when he bolted for it and ran in next.
