Chapter 8: Kagura's Purpose

Why did Aizen always have to have meetings at the most inconvenient of times? That's what Grimmjow was thinking as he stomped through the halls of Los Noches. It was about five in the morning and he'd been rudely summoned from his nice warm chambers to go to some stupid meeting that was most likely going to be pointless as always. Why couldn't he just stay and sleep with Kagura? He let out a long sigh before wandering in to the meeting room.

Everyone watched him with glares on their faces. None of them were morning people, except maybe Aaroniero, but it was hard to tell when he ever slept though. As opposed to Staark who was a narcoleptic and was always asleep, then it was hard to tell if he was ever awake. This morning though he actually was conscious.

Grimmjow was a little surprised to find that he was the last to arrive. That didn't happen too often. He was usually one of those people who didn't come too early or too late. He sat in the last place left which was where he really didn't want to sit. It was right next to Aizen and across from Ulquiorra. He groaned as he was forced to sit.

"It's good to see you finally joined us Grimmjow," Aizen announced, smirking.

He rolled his eyes and turned away from him. He hated listening to Aizen. For the majority of the time he spoke of useless things and such. He was so boring. It was surprising when he ended the meeting so soon. It was the shortest meeting any of the Espada ever had to attend.

As Grimmjow exited the room his superior called to him. Of course he had to acknowledge him and see what he had to say.

"Yes?" he grumped impatiently. He wanted to go back to bed since he had the time.

"I just thought you'd like to know why Kagura is so special," Aizen said, slyly. "She's seemingly useless and harmless am I right?"

Grimmjow merely nodded. What was he getting at?

"That's because she is. She is a rarity among arrancars. She's the only non-menos that has ever been able to take a human form. Due to this she has no weapons or powers. In other words she's weak," Aizen informed coldly.

Grimmjow already knew she was weak, but didn't realize she wasn't even a Gillian before she was an arrancar. How she even survived was a mystery. He now stared at the man with a half-gaped mouth.

"You may take your leave," he said in a cruel manner.

He began to leave.

"Oh Grimmjow, one more thing," he called. "I know when I give you fraccions you may do as you please with them, but Kagura is a special case. You have to take her with you for work purposes. If you don't then I will anialate her…or maybe I'll give her to Ulquiorra. I haven't decided yet."

Before he could lose his temper, Grimmjow stomped out. How could Aizen do that to him?! Why did Kagura have to go on a mission with him? She was useless to all arrancar kind. If she didn't have the broken mask on her head she could be mistaken for the soul of a normal deceased human. How did such an utterly hopeless human end up like this?

He clenched his teeth as he wandered the halls to find some peace of mind. He sure hoped nothing bad would happen to her when he would take her on a mission. He couldn't forgive himself if something bad happened to her. He leaned against a wall and pondered the thought for the longest time. Questions popped into his mind like: How would she react to the idea of going on a mission?, Would she accept it? Will she die on said mission? The thoughts were almost too unbearable to keep him sane. He stood up again and wandered back to his room. It was still very dark, probably because of the lack of lighting.

He stared at the lump under the covers, lying sweetly on his bed. She hadn't even noticed his absence. He came up closer, getting a better look at her face. She looked liked some kind of angel in the state she was currently in. It would be hard to tell that she was really a corrupted soul eating spirit that lost her way in life after death. He lightly brushed a strand of her fawn hair from her face.

"Have sweet dreams. I'm not sure how you'll cope coming on a mission with me later today, so enjoy this while you can," he sighed in but a whisper over her.

After that he climbed onto the bed and lay next to her. Her innocence was extremely hard to resist. He inched closer to her. If she were to realize how close he was presently getting she would freak out. Good thing she was sleeping.

"I don't know why I'm worrying so bad," he announced to her. "If something bad happens I'll do what I always do. Kagura, I promise I will protect you."

With those words her put his face to hers for a brief kiss. After he pulled away he sighed. It would have been a better kiss if she had been conscious as well. Of course since she was asleep there was a lack of distasteful squirming and complaining. He smiled briefly before snuggling up to her for the rest of the morning.
