Speedy Thing Goes In: Chapter 9
Quick A/N: Quick A/N: Alright, so Los Noches is supposed to be an imitation of the real sky. I decided to make it so the lighting changed throughout the day. Therefore, it would be easier to determine how long a certain amount of time has passed.
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
It was official. Kaine's time in Los Noches had screwed up her normal sleeping schedule. Though the original wasn't all that stable to begin with, at least she wasn't bored out of her mind on a daily basis which forced her to go to sleep at random. So far her only visitor had been Delila, and that was only for a brief while.
Kaine would eat, shower and freshen up, sleep, and repeat. All in a random order. Thanks to her previous fiasco, Kaine settled for sliding around her room. IT was large enough after all. And she couldn't get lost.
A knock sounded on her door and Delila entered, as usual, with dinner and some items.
"Hey Delila, got anything new?" Kaine asked from her bed.
"In fact I do." After placing the platter of food on the table, she pulled out a sketchpad with pencils.
"I told Lord Aizen of your predicament, and he sent a servant to the living world to retrieve this for you."
Kaine hopped out of bed and took the sketch pad from Delila's hands. "Sweetness. Now I can practice my absolutely horrendous art skills! Thanks!"
Delila wasn't sure if that was a good or a bad thing, so she just smiled and nodded.
"Say. Aizen's been pretty quiet and even the others haven't been bothering me. Do you know what's up with that?"
"Hmmm?" Delila shook her head. "Not that I know of. I haven't received any new orders as well, so maybe Lord Aizen is planning."
"Makes sense. Oh! It's pizza today! Come to think of it, do you ever try eating?"
"No. I don't require any...er, human foods to survive."
Kaine paused to sit down and stuffed a large chunk of pizza in her mouth.
"But you can eat right?"
"I can."
Delila blinked when Kaine presented her a rather generous piece of the pizza that was still in her mouth.
"Try it."
The female Arrancar eyed it carefully. Sure she pretty much made it, but she never bothered to taste it. But seeing as how Kaine loved her cooking, it wouldn't hurt to try.
"See. It's not all that bad!"
"Wow, this really is good."
Kaine laughed. "Yeah. And to think, I'm getting all this for free!"
This confused Delila slightly.
"Why wouldn't it be free?"
"Well, in the human world, people have to pay for food like this. And normally, something like this would be pretty costly since it's so delicious!"
"I'm glad you're enjoying it."
The door to Kaine's room slammed open, startling both girls. Kaine smiled and waved, seeing as how this particular Espada didn't really bother her as much as he used to.
"Oh hey Grimmjow. What's up?"
Grimmjow rolled his shoulders and sat on the edge of Kaine's bed.
"I'm bored again girly. Entertain me."
Thankfully, Kaine had two large slices of pizza, which could adequately serve the three of them. She ripped a chunk off the second slice and handed it to the man behind her.
"Try this."
"What the hell are you doing?"
"Offering you some food. Try it, it's good."
'I wonder where it goes. I mean, he does have a gaping hole where his stomach should be… maybe his organs got pushed around or something.'
From the look on his face, he must have been enjoying it.
"And Aizen gives you still like this every day?"
"Yep. We humans need to eat in order to live, and it just so happens what we eat has all kinds of crazy flavors."
Grimmjow stood and snatched another piece of the pizza off.
"You two can have the rest of it. I'm full."
"Thank you. Kaine." Delila said as she took a smaller piece whilst Grimmjow took the rest. The soda was all Kaine's though.
"So Grimmjow, where are your Fraccion?"
"Eh? Why do you want to know about them?"
"Just curious."
"Tch. They usually hang out in the desert, or in our quarters. Nothin' much to do here except kill shit or fight each other."
"Wow that really is boring. If I were Aizen, I'd send you all to the living world to be like spies or something. Only in a gigai so nobody could detect you. Then maybe you wouldn't be as bored all the time."
Grimmjow rolled his eyes.
"Why would I want to be some powerless human and live with weaklings for a living?"
"You wouldn't be bored would you?"
"I'd rather be bored than weak."
The fringes of Kaine's nightgown crinkled slightly as she twisted them around.
"Well, whatever. Anyway, do you know what Aizen's been up to? He's been quiet and hasn't even called me to meet up with him."
Shrugging, Grimmjow flopped back on the bed and stared at the high ceiling.
"He ain't said nothin' to anybody. Who knows what he's up to."
"Maaah. I want to go out. This room isn't fun anymore, and it's too quiet." Kaine whined.
"Go pick a fight with someone."
"I can't do that! I' a human remember, I don't even have the strength of a weak Hollow!"
Delila quietly sat on the couch and watched the two converse. It was, though she wouldn't admit it to anyone, entertaining.
"Aizen gave some extra strict orders not to harm you. Unless anyone wants to lose their heads, they can't bother you. Hell, I don't even think Nnoitra would lay a finger on you if you called him a bitch right to his face."
The thought crossed Kaine's mind , sending giggles out of her.
"That'd be kind of mean, but then again he's meaner. But his spiritual pressure might kill me first, so I wouldn't risk it."
Grimmjow made an odd noise as he sat up and looked around.
"You know, you got a damn good room here."
'Well that was random.'
"Um, thank you?"
"Even Starrk don't have a bed. He just sleeps on a bunch of pillows. Well, he'd sleep on anything."
Kaine looked around her room for possibly the thousandth time since her stay. It was nice, but she had to wonder what urged him to blurt that out.
"Is uh, something wrong?"
"Nah. Ain't nothin' wrong."
After that, he was quiet. An awkward silence followed and Grimmjow spoke again.
"I told you to entertain me."
Huffing, Kaine stood and sat next to the Espada.
'He wants entertainment eh? Well this is my room! Well, for now, but still! I doubt he'd be interested in watching me draw stuff. Maybe I can get him to act like a cat.'
Kaine smirked and scratched behind his ears. For a moment, Grimmjow looked absolutely baffled then relaxed.
"Whatever the hell you're doing, don't stop."
Deep blue eyes rolled upwards and the Espada smiled as though intoxicated. It took all of Kaine's will not to burst out laughing. The man looked high to say the least. If she had a camera, this could serve as blackmail for a century. Delila watched with morbid curiosity and a hint of fear at the sight before her.
"Um, Kaine. What are you doing?"
"I'll tell you later. For now, I'll just let Gr-"
Something like purring came from Grimmjow's throat and everyone went silent. Mentally, Kaine was howling with laughter. She sucked in deep breaths in order to calm the storm that would surely ruin the moment.
Eventually, he laid back down and Kaine had to shift positions to scratch behind his other ear. It was absolutely gut wrenching to not burst out in laughter. Then again, since most of the Arrancar had some sort of animal they were associated with, maybe she could use that against them. Well, except for Ulquiorra. Nnoitra was out as well because bugs scared her, and a Praying Mantis would only cause some mental trauma.
The more she thought about it, the less 'friendly' the animals were. Well, there goes that idea. And Kaine highly doubted Mila Rose would let her pet her like a cat. Even though, that beautiful hair of hers looked inviting.
'Still, Grimmjow looks ridiculous! Maybe if I had some string I could get him to catch it, or even a laser pointer. That would drive him insane I bet!'
Kaine took the moment to look over to Delila who looked a bit more scared.
"Hey Delila. What's wrong?"
She jumped. "Oh! I, um. Well. It's just that I've never seen anyone look like that. Is it some sort of human trick?"
"Shut up." Grimmjow grumbled. "IT don't matter what it is, just shut up and let me enjoy it. And you, girly, go a bit to the right."
Kaine grinned and did as asked. Maybe if she kept this up, she could be taken off his hit list…. Maybe.

A/N: Wow this was so short. Again! I'm extremely sleepy right now. I'm at school too, and I think I may go to the library and sleep for half an hour. But then again I don't feel like giving up my computer space here in the lab.
Ahaha, I really wanted Grimmjow to act like a real cat, but I guess scratching him behind the ears will be enough for now. My cat looks like she smoked a whole bag of weed when I do that to her. Again, I live on the ideas of you guys. The next chapter may or not be filler. That's how low on ideas I am.
