Chapter 9
The sky was dull and cloudy. It was pouring hard. Mimi was staring out the window. She woke up early due to the door bell ringing. She had hoped it was her mother. Instead...
It was 3:00 am . Mimi was curled up in her bed as the door bell rang. She moaned as she lifted her head from her pillow. She turned herself and sighed, but the door bell kept on ringing.
"Moooooom...Doooooor...Mooooooooom...Ugh!" She growled as she finally got off the bed. She walked down the stairs as she fixed her hair. The door kept on ringing and she got more annoyed. "I'M COMING!" she snapped. She quickly put a sweater on, covering her bra and opened the door. Two tall men in black suits were in front of the door. She stared at them and slowly tried to close the door.
"By any chance are you Mimi Hammi?"one of the men asked her. She looked at them both and nodded slowly. They faced each other and took a piece of paper out, showing her mother.
"Is this your...mother?" the other one asked her. Mimi nodded again a bit nervous. "We are sorry to tell you this but…"Mimi stiffened.
"But what?! Where is my mother?!" she snapped. The two tall men looked at each other.
"She's...dead. We found her body with a bunch of others. It seems that there was another explosion of some sort... We are terribly sorry," one of the tall men said. Mimi froze. Tears fell down from her face as the two men left. Mimi fell to the ground on her knees, the tears falling down more and it started to rain. Mimi screamed out in pain.
Mimi finally decided to get ready for school. She looked in the kitchen and walked out, shutting the door. She walked in the rain with no umbrella, her bangs covering her face. She continued to walk alone in the pouring rain.
The first bell had just rung. Grimmjow sat in his seat and stared at the empty seat next to him. He narrowed his eyes and looked outside. 'I wonder where Mimi is?' he thought. The teacher began her lesson then Mimi walked in the class room.
"Ms. Hammi! You're late, what happened?!" the teacher asked her. She was drenched. Mimi nodded and walked over to her seat and sat down, laying her head on the desk in her arms. The teacher sighed as she continued her lesson. Grimmjow looked over at Mimi.
"Hey, you okay?" he whispered. There was no answer from her. He sighed mentally and poked her. Mimi shook it off as he continued.
"Grimmjow, please stop," she whispered to him. He raised a brow and nodded. 'I wonder what's wrong with her?' he thought. Then he remembered the Kendo club afterschool.
"Hey Mimi, you still going to Kendo club? I can teach you a move or two!" he whispered back to her. To be honest he did not want to go into that gloomy apartment. Mimi shook her head. Grimmjow narrowed his eyes and sighed. 'Man, this chick is getting annoying!' he thought. The teacher turned to the class.
"Okay now! Let's have a small pop quiz. Let's see if you remember anything I taught you from last week!" She smiled as the class groaned. She handed out the papers. When she noticed Mimi, she placed her hand on her back and whispered something. Grimmjow, since he was more powerful than humans, was able to hear what she was saying.
"Mimi, is everything okay? Let's talk outside, okay?" the teacher told her. Mimi nodded and followed her outside. Ichigo and Orihime were the first to ask Grimmjow what happened. He shrugged as they went to the door to eavesdropped. "Mimi, what happened?" they heard the teacher ask.
"...My...mother..." Mimi started. Then there were tears.
"What about your mom?"
"She...died..." Mimi said, then walked back inside the class room as everyone sat down. Grimmjow watched her as she sat down. The teacher walked in and took her test away. She was in no condition to do anything. After a long day of silence, it was finally afterschool. It was still pouring outside and Grimmjow was getting quite annoyed. He was in the gym to tell the kendo club kids to go home. He quickly ran to catch up to Mimi. She was walking slowly on her way home.
"MIMI! WAIT UP!" he yelled out. Mimi remained silent and continued walking. Grimmjow growled and grabbed her arm, spinning her around.
"Grimmjow," she muttered. He glared at her.
"Oi! Snap out of it! This isn't the Mimi I know. You're holding it in! Let it out!" he snapped.
"I'm not holding anything in-"
"YES YOU ARE! You're refusing to cry. I know that you're in pain. The loss of someone dear to you must have been painful. I may not know how it feels, but I don't want to see you kill yourself on the inside. Please Mimi," he told her. This was the first time Grimmjow was actually showing emotions. Mimi's eyes widened as tears formed in her eyes.
"Grimmjow...I-I...WHAAAA!" Mimi landed her head into Grimmjow's chest, crying. Grimmjow rubbed her head.
"There, there...It's okay," He muttered to her.
'After all...I'm the one who killed her.'
