Aizen turned up at the room hours later. It seemed that he decided that Hanataro would sleep with them that night, and Hana couldn't be happier. Exclaiming his glee for how long it'd been since he'd shared a bed with his father-figure, Master Aizen. The demon master even carried the little mer-boy to the bedroom with Grimmjow loitering behind them. He put Hana down on the bed, and inspected the bandages Harribel had wrapped around the sprain sometime before he'd come. Deeming them satisfactory, he undressed before climbing in on the farthest side of the bed. He laid on his side with the mer-boy snuggled to his chest and looked to Grimmjow.

"Won't you join us?"

Grimmjow grumbled and pulled on the loose shorts he'd become accustomed to wearing to bed. He slipped under the blankets. He crossed his arms and stared at the high ceiling. "Did you know?"

"Hm?"

"Did you know about that bastard Shirosaki? About what he was doing?"

Aizen sighed. "I'll admit that I knew that Shiro was here, however I was ignorant of what he was doing," he said. "I only became aware of his deeds a few nights ago when Gin brought Luppi and his sister here. I filed a report like a good boy and it seems they sent Ichigo to bring him back. Either that or the boy convinced them to let him come. Probably the latter."

"What will they, the Incubus court or whatever, do to him?"

"It's been hundreds of years since I've kept up with the court's policies and affairs. I simply follow the laws that were set all those years ago, and live quietly."

"You call kidnapping me living quietly?! And what makes you different from Shiro in that regard?"

"I never kidnapped you."

Grimmjow sat up and his mouth opened and closed a few times in shock. "Yes you did! You totally kidnapped me!"

"You came willingly, Grimmjow. You hopped into my car without a gun to your head or a knife to your back."

"You bastard!" Hanataro made a distressed sound, and Grimmjow lowered his voice."You lured me."

Aizen smiled and wrapped his arms around Hana who had gone back to quietly fiddling with the blanket's hem. "Ah, you got me. But at least I haven't damaged you like Shiro had done to so many other humans. Mentally scarring them and filling them with horrible poisons. They won't ever be able to return to a normal life because of him."

"What about me? Or Starrk?"

"Do you think you'd never be able to live normally if I set you free?"

The bluenet opened his mouth but then closed it. He laid back down in thought. Huh... "But...but I'm stronger than most people, I don't think some average goodie-two-shoes would be able to take your torture."

"You're the only one who has received harsh treatment. You're also only the second human I've ever kept close." He murmured. "Starrk being the first, of course." Aizen yawned and snuggled close to Hanataro. He closed his eyes and let out a deep sigh.

"What happened to never letting your guard down around me?"

One tired brown eye opened and peered at the pet. "You wouldn't attempt to harm me in front of little Hanataro, would you?" The mer-boy in turn gave Grimm a worried and guilt-tripping look.

Grimm looked away and Aizen chuckled low in his throat.

"Good night, Kitty."


Grimm remained with the mer-boy the next day. They lounged on the bed, chatting mostly, though Grimm eventually taught Hanataro a hand-clapping game he'd learned from his sisters long ago. After a 3rd game of "Miss Mary Mack", a 2nd of the complicated version of "I don't Wanna go to Mexico", and a 7th of "Slide" Hanataro grew bored with them, and merely lazed on the mattress next to Grimm.

"Mr. Grimm?" Hanataro sat up and looked at the human. "What's sex like?"

If Grimmjow had been drinking something, he'd have sprayed it everywhere. "What? Why?!" was all he could say.

Hana shrugged. "No one will tell me, so I thought I'd ask you."

"What makes you think I'd tell you?"

He shrugged again. "Will you?"

Grimmjow ran his hand down his face. He sighed. "That depends. How old are you?"

He cocked his head. "In mer-years or human years?"

"Uh...both?"

"In mer-years I'm 6, but in human years I'm 13."

"Nope."

"Aw, but-!"

"No way, I'm not teaching a kid the birds and the bees! Have your mom do it."

"But mother smothers me with her tail when I ask her! Apacci, Sung-Sun, and Mila Rose tease me, Mr. Starrk pretends to be asleep, Master Aizen laughs and pats my head, Mr. Tosen and Sir Ulquiorra ignore me, and Gin made this weird laugh last time I asked him..."

"Sorry, kid, but I'm not... confident in telling other's about my sex life."

Hanataro made a face. "But... did you not sell your body to others? That seems confident."

"Okay there is a big difference between the contexts of 'confident' in those sentences. You don't need to be confident to willingly prostitute yourself. All you need is desperation or a motive. In my case I simply didn't care anymore." He grew an ashamed look and shook his head. "I don't want to talk about this anymore..."

Hanataro was disappointed but dropped the subject like a good boy. He stared at the silent, crest-fallen human for a while before trying to comfort him by snuggling close. They remained like that for a while before Grimm wrapped an arm around the mer-child, and stayed like that for a little longer.

"Hey... wanna go outside?"

Grimm stiffened. He turned to the mer-boy still under his arm and grabbed his cheeks in one hand. The pressure made Hana's lips poke out and his cheeks smush into an adorable face. "I'm allowed to go outside?"

"Ylessh, ditint yoo no?" he slurred.

"No, no one told me."

"Oh." He downcast his eyes and scrunched his eyebrows together before looking back at the older male. "Sho, do yoo?"

A wicked grin came over his features. "Oh Hell, yeah!" He bounced off of the bed and quickly found some pants before throwing Hanataro over his shoulder and heading out the door.

A warm burst of air blasted Grimm in the face as he opened the door to the outside. The air was fresher and more fragrant for some reason, and as he walked up the stairs, he saw why. Surrounding him was a sea of multi-colored flowers, a gravel and stone path was spread before him, branching off and disappearing in the fragrant sea. Beyond where the flowers spread were trees, creating a natural wall. Grimmjow looked about in awe as he walked about the path, passing randomly spaced wooden benches and sunken path lights towards a lone willow tree. A swing hung from a sturdy branch and a large pond was under its shade.

Hanataro squirmed, and Grimm put him on the swing when he asked. He gave him a few pushes, before wandering off along the path. He enjoyed the sights and scents as he strolled. The stabbing of small pebbles into the bottom of his feet didn't even bother him. He hadn't been outside for quite a while, so nothing would ruin this for him. Nothing.

He came across a path cutting through the floors, and towards the surrounding trees. He decided to follow it.

He came to a small clearing and looked around. He flinched and backed up.

Aizen hung from a tree whose branches he grasped with his tendrils. He hung limp and naked, and appeared to be fast asleep. Grimm approached cautiously.

He stood over the man, half-admiring his otherworldly looks, and the other half thinking dark thoughts.

"You're teasing me..."

"Hm?" Aizen shifted and opened his chocolate eyes.

"There's so many things I could've done to you just then." Grimm murmured. "I could've tried to beat you, I could've tried to kill you, maybe tie you up with your own tentacles. Hell, I could've tried to rape you."

Aizen shifted again, and a small smile graced his lips. "Hm, rape? It's been a while since I've been raped." He lifted a leg and tangled it in one of his tendrils. "Still wanna give it a go?"

Grimm scoffed. "No."

The demon put his leg down. "Your loss." His tendrils began to unwind from the branches and he set himself on his feet. The last tendril came down from the tree carrying his clothes which he put on. He walk towards Grimm with his arms outstretched and captured him in an embrace. Before Grimm could speak, Aizen kissed him hard, grasping a large tuft of hair, so that Grimm couldn't break it. Grimm grunted and pushed at the taller man's shoulders, but couldn't get away.

Aizen partially yanked down his pet's pants before getting him on the ground with a quick leg swipe. He chuckled at the surprised squeak Grimm made and lifted his shirt to play with his nipples.

Grimmjow finally managed to get his lips away, and grabbed the hand that was teasing his nipples. "Ah... cut it out!" he breathed. He moaned when Aizen gave up on kissing him and suckled on a nipple instead.

"You've become so much more sensitive, Kitty." He lowered his captured hand and gave his pet's cock a few gentle wanks. Grimm moaned. Aizen chuckled. "Are you guiding me?"

Grimm blushed when he realized that he was indeed guiding the strokes. He let go of his Master's hand. "St-stop..."

"Are you sure?"

Grimm nodded.

Aizen gave the rosy hard nipple one last lick before lifting off of Grimm, and stopping to survey his work. Grimm panted sensually with his blue eyes half-lidded and hazy with pleasure. His semi-erect cock bobbed with every breath and looked close to weeping. "Wanna know why I'm out here like this?"

Grimm hissed when he tried to pull down his shirt and it grazed his nipple, sending shocks of pleasure through him. "S-sure."

"Some natural aphrodisiacs in the human world are relaxing for incubi and succubi. Let that sink in."

"Fuck... the flowers?"

Aizen smiled. "Yes, but only the ones over here. The ones closer to the pond and the manor are just fine."

Grimmjow groaned to himself. I should've known there'd be something sketchy about flowers that this guy keeps... He sighed and lifted himself into a sitting position before gently fixing his clothes and struggling to his feet. He turned to head back to the path.
"It's going to be hard to walk in your condition."

"Fuck off," Grimm grumbled, though there was no heat behind the words. He trumped back towards the pond with Aizen loitering behind; no doubt the demon was gazing lewdly at Grimm's butt. He found Hanataro still there on the swing, but now his mother was with him. He sat on his mother's lap, facing her ample bosom, with his little legs wrapped around her waist so that he could lean away from her. Hey played with her hands a bit, showing her a rhythm clap. They did that repetitive clap for a while, before Hanataro began to sing.

~Miss Mary Mack, Mack, Mack
All dressed in black, black, black!
With silver buttons, buttons, buttons
All down her back, back, back!~

Grimm crossed his arms, and watched the cute scene. He enjoyed the almost unnatural smile on the sea mistress as she watched and played with her little boy. Almost too soon, Hana was done with the short rhyme.

~And she never came back, back, back
'Till the fourth of July-ly-ly!~

He smiled at his mother. "Did you like it?"

Harribel hugged him tightly, unintentionally smothering him in her bare breast in the process. "Yes, I did. Did you make that song?"

His voice was muffled but he could still be heard clearly. "No. Mister Grimm taught me that song! And another song, and another hand game."

Harribel looked up at the human man. Her smile shrunk, but it was only out of unfamiliarity, not hatred. "You made such a song?"

"Not really. My sisters taught me it. Then again most girls know that game by the time they're like... 8 or something."

Harribel nodded. "Teach him more songs like that. They're cute."

Grimm shrugged. "Sure, I got no problem with that. Thought I only know like two more and then any other songs I know are for jumping rope and those needs three people at least. I'd have to wait until squirt's ankle heals."

Hanataro practically bounced in his mother's lap. "Teach me those too! I can wait till my ankle's better! Teach me!"

Grimm laughed. "Alright, alright!"

"I'll teach him 'Rockin Robin' if he wants."

The all looked to the person who had come up behind Grimm, who smiled and wrapped an arm around the shorter figure. "Luppi! You're up."

Luppi returned the hug. "All thanks to Gin." He looked to said silver-haired man as he approached with a dazed looking Cirucci at his side. He beckoned to Luppi, and the young man went to him. He hugged Gin but Cirucci grabbed him and pulled him away. "Cirucci. Quit it, Gin's not gonna hurt us."

Cirucci seemed to ignore him and just hugged him tight.

"Hello all." Gin said. "I jus' thought these two needed some sunlight."

Aizen gentle ran the back of his hand down Cirucci's pale cheek. "Yes, this one definitely needs some color."

She jumped and moved away from the touch with a frightened sound. Luppi pulled her towards Hanataro.

"Want me to teach you now?" he asked.

The mer-boy nodded. "I'm Hanataro, by the way."

Luppi kneeled on the ground in front of the swing. "I'm Luppi Antenor." He took his hands. "Okay just do the motions for 'Miss Mary Mack' and I'll say the words, okay?"

"Okay."

Both boys began the clapping game, and Luppi sung:

He rocks in the treetop, all day long.
Rockin' and a-boppin' and a-singin' that song
All the lil birdies on Jaybird Street,
Love to hear the robin go tweet tweet tweet

Rockin' robin, Tweet Tweet Twe-la-dit
Rockin' robin, Tweet Tweet Twe-la-dit
Oh rockin' robin, well you're really gonna rock tonight!

Every little swallow, and every chickadee,
Every lil birdie in the tall oak tree.
The wise old owl, the big black crow
Flapping their wings sayin' go bird go

Luppi repeated the chorus and Hanataro chimed in this time, having memorized it already. They finished the song with a flourish and the adults clapped.

"I really like that song!" Hana said.

"Thanks, Sis taught me it."

Harribel finally spoke to him. "So you're the young callboy Gin has taken under his wing, and that's your sister?"

"Yes, ma'am."

"Is it true that that snake Shiro... hurt her?"

It was hard for Luppi, but he confirmed her question with an, "Unfortunately."

Harribel wrapped her arms around her son, and stood suddenly. She put him into Grimm's arms and approached Cirucci who didn't seem at all bothered by her presence. The sea mistress gave the human girl a few pats on the head before just embracing her. Cirucci didn't shout or even try to get away, in fact she melted into the embrace with a relieved sigh.

"I'm taking her," Harri murmured.

Gin frowned. "Pardon?"

"You heard me."

Gin crossed his arms. "She's here under my watch and care. You have no right to take her from me, sea wench."

"This girl, who was hurt by a male, will not get better around and in the care of unfamiliar men. She needs to be cared for by women."

"Why would I-!"

"Actually Gin, that's a good idea."

Gin looked to Aizen. "What sir?"

"You should allow Harribel to take care of your charge, so long as she keeps a healthy amount of interaction between Cirucci and men of course."

Harribel glared. "You're using this as an excuse for me to come out of my domain more often."

Aizen smiled at her. "I'd be lying if I said I wasn't opportunistic."

"Whatever, I agree to such terms."

"So I get no say in this it seems," Gin huffed. "Oh well."

With a grim look, Harribel ripped the sash and kosode off of Cirucci and threw them at Gin, who grumbled "Careful" and draped them over his arm. Harribel let her arm rest on the, now naked, human girl's shoulders and looked to Luppi. "Your sister will be cared for," was the last thing she said before leading Cirucci away.

"I-Is it really alright to let her take my sister,' Luppi piped up in a small voice.

Gin sighed. "You can trust Harribel, she'll take good care o' your sister." He walked over and pulled him to his feet, and began leading him towards the manor as well. "Now if Cirucci were a boy then we'd have cause to worry."

Luppi waved to the others left by the pond. "What? Why?"

When the two were out of earshot, Hanataro flopped his head back to look at Grimmjow. "I'm hungry."

Grimm laughed and put Hanataro on his hip. "Alright then, let's go find something to eat. You coming too?"

Aizen shrugged and followed the pair as they headed for the manor.

Grimm froze as he went down the stairs. I never once thought about escaping...

(My Line breaks stopped working again TT_TT)

And there! I'm so happy to have finished this one, and the omake is great! It allows for some character development of some of the more obscure characters, and the interactions between them! Just a quick thing for those who don't know what heterochromia is: it's when someone is born with different colored eyes, so the left one is one color and the right one is a different one.

Any, thanks for reading! I do hope you enjoyed. Check my profile for weekly updates on all my stories (It'll tell you about how close I am to being finished with the next chapter). Review and have a nice day =^w^=

Omake: Harribel and Cirucci

Harribel stood at the edge of the pool peering in. She hoped the human with her would know to hold her breath as she switched into her true, snake-like, form and plunged into the warm water. She felt the girl's breathing halt, easing her small worry, and soon the water grew cooler as she neared her cavern. The girl gasped and sputtered as they breached the surface in a man-made air pocket at the bottom of the deep pool. Harribel carried her to the large shelf and made her sit.

"Apache, Sung-Sun, Mila Rose. Come here."

Three figures entered the room, two from a back room/cave and the last from the water.

"Who is this, ma'am?" Mila Rose wondered.

"This is Cirucci."

"Why, isn't she cute?"

"Why did you bring her here?" Apacci demanded before waving a hand in Cirucci's face. "And what's wrong with her? She retarded?" She laughed.

Harribel stepped forward and slapped Apacci across her face, nearly knocking her back into the water. "Watch what you say, Emiliou Apacci."

Apacci couldn't meet her eyes. "Yes, ma'am. Sorry, ma'am."

Harribel stared her down for a little longer before turning her back to Apacci. "Cirucci was beaten and raped by a rogue incubus to the point where she retreated into her mind. She's here to get better."

Sung-sun sat next to Cirucci, and wrapped an arm around her. "The poor thing." She pet the girl's wet hair soothingly. "We'll take good care of her."

Harribel nodded. "Take her to a warmer room to rest in."

Sung-sun rose to her feet, taking Cirucci with her. Mila Rose lifted her into her ebony arms, bridal-style and carried her away with Sung right behind her.

Apacci scuttled around Harribel and tried to follow.

"Emiliou..."

Apacci flinched and turned to Harri. "Y-Yes, ma'am?"

"Come here." The shorter sea monster drew near and Harribel grabbed her hair and yanked it upwards, making Apacchi stand on her toes. "And you were doing so well."

"I-I know, I-I'm sor-"

Harri shushed her and gently kissed her. She groped her and nibbled a path from her jaw to her sternum, making the heterochromial girl whimper in need. "You need another lesson?"

Apacci whimpered again, but couldn't say anything.

Harribel pushed her away and she stumbled over her own feet, landing on her small butt. "You know where to go."

Apacci moved onto her knees and bowed her head. "Ye-Yes, ma'am." She tried to get up.

"No, no. I want you to crawl, Emiliou." She smiled as the girl fixed herself and began crawling towards a back room, and she followed close behind. Tonight will be fun...
