Recap:
"AHHHHH! Y-y-y-you're one of Lord Aizen's Arrancars! YOU'RE A BAD GUY!" screeched a high and very annoying little voice. Again, Sayuri jumped. She looked around to see where the voice came from but didn't see anything.
"Um..wh-who said that?" She asked confused.
"Down here!" said the little voice. Sayuri looked down and her eyes widened when a cute little blue-green haired girl wearing a seaweed green gown came into her view.

(Nel & Sayuri POV)
'I-I knew we were the bad guys.' Sayuri thought a little sadly. She didn't consider herself to be 'Bad', she was too... nice. She then turned her attention back to the small girl. Sayuri noticed that she had a skull on the top of her head. Not only that, but she also had a scar running down her forehead. 'She must have had an accident a long time ago-' Sayuri's thoughts were interrupted by the cute frightened expression the girl was giving her.
"You're an arrancar." Sayuri said with the corners of her lips turned up. The girl swallowed loudly feeling a little nervous. Sayuri felt like actually felt like the bad guy at that moment. She didn't want to make the small girl feel afraid. She knew what that felt like. That's what she felt when Aizen and Gin had found her. "Considering how you called me a bad guy and how you're not in an arrancar attire, I'm guessing you don't follow Lord Aizen." She said in a soft tone. From the small girl's small whimper, Sayuri knew that she was correct.
"N-No. Nel doesn't follow Lord Aizen...does that mean you're going to kill her?" she shrieked flailing her arms in the air like she was a squid. Sayuri was confused. 'Nel? wait...did she just refer to herself in 3rd person?...weird.. And if she's not Aizen's follower, she must be one of the intruders.' "So you're name is Nel." she said trying to be certain. The girl nodded cautiously. "That's a pretty name. And no, I'm not going to kill you." She said giggling a little at the fact that Nel thought she was going to kill her.
"You're too cute for me to even think of hurting." Sayuri said bending down to Nel's level. She wanted to make it clear that she wasn't going to harm her in any way, so she put her hand on top of Nel's mask in a comforting gesture. Nel, however, mistook the gesture as a violent one and couldn't help herself from yelling out.
"I-I-Ichigo! Help-!" Sayuri clamped her hand over Nel's mouth and held her small arms behind her back. She then hid from in front of the hole in the wall so that neither the Shinigami nor the arrancar could see them. 'Dammit Nel!' Sayuri thought internally, begging that she hadn't been caught. She peeked around to make sure, and saw that the shinigami wasn't looking anywhere in her direction, but he did look completely beat up . He had more blood on him than before and his body was just limp. it was hard to tell whether or not he was still alive. Sayuri had to fight the urge to go and save him, knowing that it meant that she would betray Aizen. But she felt that he didn't deserve to be hurt this way. He's just trying to save his friend. "That must be Ichigo" she quietly stated the obvious. 'But he's a shinigami, and Nel is an arrancar...they're supposed to be enemies. It doesn't make any se-' her thoughts were abruptly interrupted when she felt something wet and slimy slip between her fingers that were still covering Nel's mouth. Sayuri dropped Nel, freaking out.
"EEEEEWW! That's so gross! You little BRAT! Ugh!" Sayuri shrieked jumping up and down and waving her slimy hand around.
"Nel is sorry, but Nel knew you were going to kidnap her a take her to be killed by Lord Aizen and the Espada, sooo Nel had to use her special drool to make you let go." Nel said smiling and with her nose in the air. 'I just remembered.' Sayuri thought glaring at Nel 'I never really did like kids.'
"You still didn't have to lick my hand! I mean jeeze, I was going to let you go anyway." Sayuri said in a disgusting tone. She was making a face that made it look like something smelled bad while she wiped her wet hand on the thigh of her long skirt.
"I'm either going to have to wash or burn this now." she grumbled. Nel found Sayuri's expression to be hilarious and just started laughing.
"You know you're kind of like the arrancar that Ichigo is fighting."
"Huh? how so?"
"He's weird too." Nel teased smiling. Sayuri's jaw dropped.
"Hey! I'm not weird! If you ask me, you're the one that's weird. Licking peoples hand and all!."
"Yeah, yeah." Nel said waving her hand at Sayuri and making her more annoyed by the second. "Anyways, are you one of the Espada's fracción?" 'How does she know about fraccións?' Sayuri thought.
"No, for your information I am the new Espada. Espada number 11, Sayuri Yamura." She said slightly smiling. Saying her Espada ranking and her full name made her feel confident.
Nel's eyes were as wide as saucers when she said that.
"What? There are only 10 Espadas not 11! How could..." she couldn't even finish the sentence. 'Oh, no. She really might kill me now. Especially since I drooled on her hand. Oh, Ichigo please help me!' Nel panicked and looked in Ichigo's direction. He was on the ground and the arrancar was preparing a cero to shoot at him.
"NO! Ichigo, dodge it! move out of the way!" Nel screamed out, but Ichigo didn't seem to hear her. Why was he just watching as the strange arrancar powered up his cero. Nel turned away from Sayuri and was about to jump through the hole in the wall, but Sayuri grabbed her arm to stop her.
"What the hell are you doing? If you go down there, that arrancar will kill you! Y-you can't go down there." Sayuri yelled at Nel in a panicked tone. 'What's with this kid? She's willing to risk her life for a shinigami?' She thought confused. Nel then looked at her in the same expression that she gave Ichigo when he saved her. When she realized that he wasn't a 'bad guy' She didn't understand why Sayuri cared whether or not she was safe. 'M-maybe she really is a good guy. If she really is a good guy, she will let Nel save Ichigo.' Nel thought with her eyes filling with tears. She had to get to Ichigo as soon as possible. That caught Sayuri off guard.
"Okay! Nel believes you're not a bad guy, but please...YOU HAVE TO LET NEL SAVE ICHIGO!" She screamed trying to get out of Sayuri's hold on her arm. Sayuri didn't know what to do. She didn't want Nel to get hurt, even if she did annoy the hell out her, she was just a kid. But the look that Nel was giving her made it very clear that she would die before she let anything happen to Ichigo. Sayuri still didn't want to let her do it, but she also didn't think that the shinigami deserved to die. So, Sayuri took a deep breath and let her go. 'I'm helping the enemy.' Sayuri thought. She was so confused. 'What's wrong with me? Should I have taken her to Aizen? ...Would he have kille- no, no Aizen wouldn't do such a thing. He wouldn't kill a child...would he?' Nel interrupted Sayuri's disturbing thoughts.
"Thank you." She said sniffing and wiping her tears with the back of her sleeve. Sayuri hated it when people cried. It made her want to. Nel then jumped through the hole and yelled on her way down.
"Nel won't tell anyone anything!" Sayuri knew that she meant that she wouldn't tell Ichigo that she had met her. 'Yeah, right.' Sayuri thought rolling her eyes. 'Kids say they can keep secrets all the time, and they end up telling someone the next day.' Sayuri shook her head and then quickly turned her attention back to Nel to make sure she was okay.
"Wh-what the hell?" She said when she saw what was happening. She saw that Nel had jumped in line of the powerful cero and extended her small arms protectively in front of Ichigo. Who looked just as shocked as Sayuri. Sayuri almost jumped through the hole to try and stop the cero before it got to her (even though she probably couldn't) but then she saw that when it reached Nel, she wasn't getting hurt...She was..swallowing it.
"I repeat...WHAT THE HELL?" she said to herself. Even the arrancar was standing there frozen with a chibi face not knowing what to say. Sayuri found it pretty hilarious.
"Sh-She swallowed it!" the arrancar finally yelled enraged. Sayuri shot her eyes back at Nel and saw that she had her hand over her mouth. She looked like she was going to puke.
"Nel? Are you okay?" Sayuri heard Ichigo's low voice say. 'How can I hear from this far?' she wondered. Suddenly she saw Nel's stomach heave.
"Oh crap, she gonna puke." Sayuri said quietly. But was caught off guard when she saw Nel shoot the cero right back out of her mouth and was able to get a direct hit on the arrancar. 'Damn!' Sayuri thought smiling and very impressed. 'I didn't know Nel had it in her.'
"Now listen you! Don't you be mean...to Ichigo..again." Nel was out of breath and every few seconds had to pant for breath. Sayuri looked at the cloud of dust swarming around the arrancar from Nel's reflected cero. She had really got him good. But suddenly, no one saw it coming, but a small cero shot from the dust cloud and hit Nel right in the stomach.
"Nel!" Sayuri yelled panicked, but not loud enough for them to hear her.
"Oh, no! Nel!" Ichigo yelled. His voice with more panic in it. Nel screamed flew backwards, landing on her back with a thud. Sayuri felt a surge of anger towards the arrancar. How could he do that to a child. 'I knew I shouldn't have let her go. This is my fault.' Sayuri wanted very badly to go and see if Nel was alright, but she stopped when she heard the male arrancar speak.
"I don't know who you are little baby, but you are impressive. I never thought someone could deflect my cero while I was in my release form." He said in his heavy accent. Sayuri didn't even realize that he was in his release form. she was too concerned about Nel.
"However," he continued. "Unruly children need to learn their place." Then he shouted out something that Sayuri couldn't understand. It must have been one of his release abilities because as soon as he shouted the words, something that looked as though it was made of water and had a sharp shell-like tip on the top of it shot at Nel. Nel's tiny body wouldn't stand a chance. Sayuri couldn't move, it was all happening so fast, didn't have time to think. But right when the figure was going to crush Nel, it was sliced in two. Sayuri then saw that Nel was in the shinigami's left arm. She looked like she was being cradled, as if she really was a baby. And the look she had in her eyes while she looked at Ichigo...wow.. she really cared for him, and by his protective stance, Sayuri could tell that the feeling was mutual. Ichigo gave the arrancar a warning look as he spoke.
"If you want to see it that badly, Then I guess I'll show it to you. Let me introduce you to my bankai." he said in a low tone. 'Bankai?' Sayuri thought confused. 'I've heard that word before, but I don't remember when. Isn't that sort of a release for shingami? They're full power? Why would the arrancar want him to use his bankai?'
"It's about time." The arrancar said with a grim smile. This guy was insanely creepy. "I knew you would have to use it eventually." Sayuri then turned to the shinigami and saw that Nel was weakly coughing in his arms. She was so tiny. Sayuri felt so guilty she couldn't take it. She wanted to tell Nel how sorry she was. But the shinigami stole her words.
"Nel" he said softly. "I'm sorry. You got hurt because I was being stubborn. About something that doesn't even matter. When I came here, I wanted to do things right. So I decided that in order to fight on the level of the Espada, I shouldn't use my bankai against anyone else." Ichigo sat up straight and dusted himself off before continuing. Sayuri was completely engrossed in his little speech. 'So that's what he was planning. To save his bankai for the Espada. He wants to defeat us But I can't blame him for wanting to.' Sayuri thought a little nervous about that. She didn't know what to do. Whether or not to tell Aizen about what she was seeing and hearing.
" That was stupid. And I'm sorry." Ichigo continued.
"You think so? I think that it's smart. I think it's important for those that want true strength to learn to restrain themselves and master the art of control. I think that it's an empowering exercise." said the male arrancar. He was standing like a crane for some reason when he spoke. He's so strange.
"If my friends get hurt because of it, then the exercise becomes stupid and pointless." Sayuri's eyes widened. She was surprised at how different Ichigo was. She didn't know what to expect from the shinigami, but it certainly wasn't this. 'He puts his friends before himself.' Sayuri thought. 'It's like nothing else matters to him anymore. Just his friend's safety. That's so…sweet.' Sayuri smiled slightly. She felt nothing but respect towards Ichigo and she hated herself knowing that she was the 'bad guy' She then decided that she wasn't going to tell Aizen about this, but that won't stop them from running into the other Espadas.
"Are you saying that there's no point to being strong or powerful other than to protect your friends?" The arrancar asked shocked. "That's so kind, boy. I think you must be a saint." He said sarcastically. "And yet you have a stronger form don't you?...I know all about your Hollowfication." Sayuri saw Ichigo's eyes widen. He wasn't expecting that. 'Hollowfication? How can a shinigami be a hollow?...wait.. Well, I guess that's what arrancars are too, so.. it's not impossible.' Sayuri thought. She knew what Hollowfication meant just from saying the word. It's not hard to put together. But now she too was curious to see it.
"We are aware of what happens in the world of the living. All of the battles that you've fought there. You posses a technique that makes you more like a hollow. It increases your battle power, I can feel it! So now, you need to use it!" Then the arrancar shot another one of his water/shell like arms in Ichigo's direction. Sayuri was shocked to see that Ichigo didn't move an inch and his face showed on fear at all. 'He should at least get Nel out of the way! What is he thinking?' Sayuri shouted mentally. She didn't understand why he was still holding her in his left arm and had to keep telling herself not to interfere. Then with his zanpakutō in his right hand,Ichigo was able to stop the arm from hitting both him and Nel. 'Thank God' Sayuri thought sighing in relief. She could tell that Ichigo was serious about this and wasn't going to let anything happen to Nel. This made Sayuri feel even more respect towards him. Ichigo then sliced the arm making it vanish.
"Interesting. Impressive spiritual pressure. But still? I told you, I want to see your full power right now, boy!" Yelled the arrancar. Suddenly he was nowhere to be seen. When he reappeared he was behind Ichigo.
" If you not do it now, I will force you to, boy!" Then the arrancar quickly reached his long arm over Ichigo's shoulder and put his hand over Nel's face.
"No! Nel!" Sayuri yelled out. She could have sworn she saw Ichigo look straight at her, but his attention turned back to Nel, whose cheek was now cut. It was small but the arrancar still drew blood. Sayuri wanted to shoot a cero at the arrancar badly. 'He's…evil! How could he do that? Sh-she's just a child!' Sayuri thought trying to hold herself back.
"You Bastard!" Ichigo yelled at the arrancar who was now standing about two yards away from him. The arrancar held his hand up in a way to show that Nel's blood was on his fingers.
"Huh. What's wrong, boy? What are you so upset about. You're the one who's fulfilling your little goal to protect your little friend. And my goal is simply to defeat you in battle while you're in your most powerful state. If I don't get what I want from attacking you, I'll go after that little baby instead!" He yelled. 'He's such a disgusting being' Sayuri thought glaring at the arrancar. She was also confused to why it meant so much to him to defeat Ichigo.
"Is that so?" Ichigo said with a furious face and tone. "Don't you have any shame?"
"Of course I do…I'm ashamed to not have gotten you to fight at full strength before now!" Suddenly hundreds of the water/shell arms came out of thin air in front of the arrancar. 'Oh, no' Sayuri thought worried about Ichigo being able to fight those things and protect Nel at the same time. But when she looked in Ichigo's direction, it looked like he was whispering something to Nel. His face was expressionless when he put her down and she walked a few feet away from him. As if to give him room. Then there was a sudden dark red fog that was starting to surround Ichigo. 'What's going on?' Sayuri thought, watching as the fog swirled closer to Ichigo.
"Very well then." Ichigo said in a dark voice " But I can only show it to you for a small amount of time. Trust me….it will be enough." He said placing his hand over his face. The red fog also was surrounding his face and looked as though it was forming some kind of shape. Then when Ichigo tore his hand from his face, there was a frightening mask replacing the fog shape. Sayuri gasped not expecting his mask to be so…scary. She was surprised when she heard the arrancar burst out laughing.
"Yes! Such powerful spiritual pressure!" He yelled happily. Sayuri could feel it too. His spiritual pressure was amazing.
" Now at full strength, FIGHT! Fight bo-!" The arrancar was cut off by Ichigo slicing into the left side of his chest. 'Wh-what the? H-how did he get to him so fast?' Sayuri thought. She had been watching Ichigo the whole time and it seemed like he hadn't moved at all. Sayuri was amazed at how strong he was and had no doubt in her mind that Ichigo could kill her if he wanted to.
"Wha-What happened? What's going on?" the arrancar said as shocked as Sayuri was. Then he collapsed.
"I told you. Only a small amount of time." Said Ichigo through his hollow mask. His voice sounded like it was echoed. It was really..creepy. Then Ichigo wiped his hand over his mask and it vanished. Sayuri could see Ichigo's real face again which still had a serious expression painted on it. The room suddenly fell silent and all you could hear was the murmurs of the arrancar.
"Huh, I never thought I would be defeated like this. Even when I didn't let my guard down, I still failed. I thought that if I defeated you at your full strength, Lord Aizen would remember my strength and make me an Espada again." Sayuri's eyes widened at his words. 'So that's why it meant so much to his to defeat Ichigo. He was…an Espada before. All he wanted was to be an Espada again.' Sayuri felt a microscopic bit of sympathy for the arrancar. But nothing more. He had still hurt Nel. "Oh, yeah. Nel!" Sayuri remembered and looked at Nel's direction. Nel was looking right up at Sayuri and it looked like she was smiling. Relieved, Sayuri returned the smile. Nel looked at Ichigo who was still listening to the arrancars mumbles. Then she was able to sneak away to Sayuri without drawing attention to herself.
"H-How did you get back up here?" Sayuri asked confused. The whole was about twenty feet above the ground so it didn't really make any sense.
"Huh? Oh Nel just-" Nel started but was interrupted by Sayuri grabbing and pulling her into a tight hug.
"Oh, it doesn't matter! I'm just happy you're okay." Sayuri said happily, holding Nel like she was a baby. 'It's weird. I just met this girl and I already care for her. Maybe she was right. I am weird.' Sayuri laughed at her own thought while she put Nel back down. Nel gave her a look that was mixed with shock and amusement.
"Wow. You really aren't a bad guy. Does this mean you're Nel's friend?" Sayuri thought about that for a second. 'friends with the enemy' she thought.
"Hmm…I guess I am. But keep that just between you and me okay?" Sayuri said with a serious expression. She didn't want anyone to know about this, At least, not yet. She had only been here for a few hours and she was already a traitor?
"Nel promises!" She said happily and stuck out her pinky. Sayuri chuckled at how small Nel's pinky was. She's so adorable. Sayuri then wrapped her pinky around Nel's and made the pinky promise.
"Nel has to go now or Ichigo will worry about Nel." Then right on cue, They heard Ichigo's voice.
"Nel? Nel! Where are you?" His voice sounded completely freaked out. 'Aww he's so protective.' Sayuri thought smiling.
"It was nice meeting you Nel. Are you going to be okay?" She said standing up straight.
"It was nice meeting you too. And yes, as long as Nel is with Ichigo, Nel will be safe." Sayuri nodded and patted Nel on the head before dashing down the hallway she came down. Nel then jumped through the hole again to get back to Ichigo.
(Sayuri and 2 others POV ^.^)
"Oh, my God!, Oh, my God!" Sayuri yelled as she ran down the hallway as fast as she could. She was trying to straighten out things in her head. She didn't know what to do. This was too much for her to keep to herself. She had to tell someone. Someone she could trust. She only promised not to tell Aizen, not anyone else. That wasn't only thing she was freaking out about. She wanted to know more about former Espadas, wanted to know how many intruders there were in Las Noches, more about Ichigo's Hollow form, and then she wanted to know if the other Espadas knew how close the intruders were to them. She also knew that right now, the intruders were probably stronger than she was, so she also wanted to get stronger but she didn't have a long amount of time to do it. 'I need to talk to someone! But who? I can't tell Aizen and I have no idea where my fracción are. Ugh! What am I going to-…..Gin!. I can tell Gin. Maybe he can tell me what I want to know.' She thought. But then her stomach had twinge in it when she remembered that the last time she saw Gin, he had kissed her on the forehead. 'Jeeze! That's going to be awkward' she thought, blushing a little. 'But I have no idea who else to go to.' She had been running for about an hour, still thinking about what she was going to do. She wasn't paying attention to anything in her path down the hall and then..BANG! she ran into something.
"Ugh! What the hell is your damn problem!" said a harsh familiar voice. Sayuri had gotten the breath knocked out of her and took a few deep ones before opening her eyes to see who she'd ran into. As soon as she caught a glimpse of his face, she was beyond freaked.
"Gr-Grimmjow!" she stuttered. She didn't have time for him right now. She had to find Gin. She knew that he was going to use Sayuri's crashing into him, as an excuse to want to fight.
"Well, well. Didn't expect to run into you." He said in a scary voice looking up at her. Sayuri thought he was going to try and kill her right then and there. His eyebrows were scrunched and he had an unfriendly grin on his face. His whole face actually looked unfriendly. The only facial feature that didn't scare her, were his eyes. They were so blue and it wasn't just a solid blue. It looked like light metallic blue explosion. Then she looked down at the position they were in and blushed deeply. It was a pretty sexual position and was surprised that Grimmjow didn't seem to notice. Since she had crashed into him, she was on top of him, between his legs. Her hands were on his bare chest and she also for the first time, saw that their hollow holes were in the same place, not only that, but they were pressed against each other. Sayuri blushed even more. As much as she disliked Grimmjow, she couldn't help but find him extremely attractive. But she found Ulquiorra to be more attractive. 'Speaking of which, I wondering what he's doing' she thought forgetting about everything else.
"Get the hell off of me." He growled pushing her to the side so that he could be on top of her. But not in a romantic way...in a way to say he was dominant over her. Sayuri let out a small whimper of fear. He so gigantic compared to her.
"Do you know how easy it would be for me to crush you r skull right now?" He said chuckling and placing his palm over her forehead.'Oh, jeeze he's going to kill me..I'm going to die...would he really do this? Aizen would kill him for it..wouldn't he?' she thought. She felt so helpless. She couldn't even think clearly enough to shoot one of her ceros at his face. She was too scared. And the fact that he was pinning her arms down didn't help either. She looked deeply into his eyes and could see that his full intensions were kill her as soon as possible and no one was here to stop him. He finally had gotten her alone. He was going to have fun killing her. 'Why the hell is she looking at me like that? Does she actually think that her giving me that look is going to keep me from beating the crap out of her?'
"Don't look so sad. I'll kill you quick. You won't feel a thing." He said smiling grimmly.
"Please" Sayuri begged. "Why are you doing this? What did I do to you?" she asked him, her voice broke and he could see that her eyes were filling with tears. At least, they looked like tears. Only, they were a metallic color of her eyes. This was something new it made Grimmjow freeze. There was something about seeing her cry that made him feel...slighly disgusted with himself. 'What the hell am I thinking? I shouldn't feel guilty.' he thought preparing to crush her skull beneath his hand.
"Aizen says that he doesn't intend on replacing any of us when you came here. But I think what he meant by that was that we'll still be Espada, but you will ranked higher than one of us. Aizen is already crazy to think that I should be ranked lower that that emo freak Ulquiorra. So there's no way I'm getting replaced by someone who didn't even know who the Espadas were until a few hours ago." He said harshly. He started putting more pressure on her head. What he had said struck a chord in Sayuri. She was suddenly enraged and was able pull her mind back together enough to kick Grimmjow off of her and against the wall. She then stood up straight and dusted her self off. She smirked in satisfaction when she saw that there was a big dent the wall where she had kicked Grimmjow.
"First off, Don't you dare insult Ulquiorra or Aizen! Aizen was right to rank you lower than Ulquiorra. I know I've only been here for a few hours, but I've been here long enough to be able to pick out each of the other Espada's spiritual pressure. Including yours. Ulquiorra's is superior to yours. And just for the record, HE'S WAY HOTTER THAN YOU ARE YOU BIG IDIOT!" 'Dammit he's going to kill me for this, but I can't just do nothing. he insulted Ulquiorra.' Sayuri thought. It was very clear to her now that she already had feelings for Ulquiorra. And knowing that gave her the courage she needed to stand up to Grimmjow. "Second, I don't give a damn that you don't want to be replaced. What ever happens, happens. There's nothing you can do about it. Yeah, okay so I'm new..so what? That doesn't mean I can't be stronger than you. You're just a conceded bastard! I know I don't know much about fighting, but I know I don't need to know a lot to be able to kick your ass!" 'That whole thing was a gigantic lie. I'm sure he could kill me within minutes, but only because I don't know many fighting techniques. If I learned how to fight, I could probably take him.' Grimmjow was just watching her with fierce eyes as she spoke.
"Y-You bitch!" He yelled slightly embarrassed. He was really pissed now. 'She must have a death wish!' he yelled mentally. Sayuri was the first female arrancar to stand up to him and try to fight him. In a weird sort of way, it sort of impressed him. But not enough for him not to want to fight her. He then lunged at her with a cero powering up in his right hand. Sayuri prepared herself and showed no fear at all as he got closer. right when Grimmjow got into a good shooting position, he was shot wit a cero.
"Gah! what..the hell?" He yelled as he fell to his knees. Sayuri stared shocked. She didn't do it, so..who did?
"Now, now what's with all this rough housing? Grimmjow, you should know better than to try to fight a girl." Said a familiar feminine like voice. Both Sayuri and Grimmjow shot their eyes inthe direction of the voice.
"L-Luppi." Sayuri said relieved and happy to see him. Luppi chuckled at her expression.
"Hello master Sayuri. What's with that look? You didn't think I was going to let you get hurt did you?" he said still smiling at her.
"I didn't know you were there! How long were you standing over there?" Sayuri asked.
"I've been standing here for a while. I was only waiting for Grimmjow to make enough of a threatening move towards you so that I could kick his ass for you." He said laughing a little bit and moving closer.
"Luppi, you moron!" Grimmjow yelled sitting back up fully prepared to lunge at the both of them,
"Ooooh, it's not nice to call people names." Luppi said putting his hands on his waist and looking Grimmjow up and down. 'Oh, my God' Sayuri thought trying to hold in a small giggle.'He's checking him out!' Grimmjow could also see that Luppi was giving him 'the look' again. Luppi always found a way to make Grimmjow feel uncomfortable. (Note: Grimmjow's a homophobe :P) Even with the distance between them, Grimmjow couldn't help but cringe away from him. He couldn't stand Luppi. He would always flirt with Grimmjow when he was alone and Grimmjow would get too disgusted to even try and kill him. Instead, he would run away.
"By the way, I know I've said this before, but I love your body." Luppi said teasingly and winked. Sayuri noticed that Grimmjow's Espada attire had burned off his back where Luppi had shot him with his cero. Which let them both get a better look at his body.
"Where do you find the time to work out Grimmy? You're so buffed. Or are you just naturally hot?" And that did it. The look on Grimmjow's face was priceless. He looked like he was going to throw up. 'Oh, God.' Grimmjow thought completely grossed out.
"Ugh! fine, I'm leaving. But I will get you and don't forget it." he yelled pointing at Sayuri. Then he vanished down the hall. Sayuri jumped when she heard Luppi burst out laughing. Listening to him laugh made her suddenly laugh. Luppi laughed so much that his eyes were wet from tears, then he sighed gaining his breath back.
"Oh, works every time." He said smiling at Sayuri. "Are you okay?" He changed the subject. Sayuri had just stopped laughing and was able to nod, but she was still out of breath. She cleared her throat before speaking.
"Thank you Luppi." she said going over to hug him. She had caught him off guard and when she wrapped her arms around him, his eyes widened.
"Huh, it's been a while since anyone has shown me any affection." He said. Sayuri could hear the smile in his voice.
"You know what would make the hug better?" she asked
"What's that?"
"If you hugged me back." She said laughing a little. Luppi chuckled too before wrapping his arms around her. He felt so happy at that moment. He felt that he actually had a real friend now. The others just tolerated him. They never really wanted him around. It felt nice for a change.
"Thank you" he said happily and holding her tighter.
"For what?" Sayuri asked confused.
"For being a friend...and caring about me." He said softly. Sayuri then stepped back to look at him. His eyes were slightly wet and he had such a friendly smile on his face. 'Wow, it really means that much to him?' Sayuri thought.
"Of course, Luppi. The first time I talked to you, I already considered you a friend." She said smiling warmly at him.
"Oh! I had forgotten all about why I ran down here!" Sayuri said suddenly making Luppi jump.
"Wh-What do you mean?" Luppi asked.
"I was looking for Gin..do you know where he is?" She asked. 'I can't beleive how quickly I forgot about everything. I have to get to him as soon as possible' She thought
"Hmm, I think I know where he could be. He's always with Lord Aizen so we can check in Aizen's room." Luppi said. "Do you want me to take you?" he asked smiling.
"That would be nice. Thank you." 'Well, At least I don't have to go by myself. Luppi is really nice company. I'm glad i chose him to be one of my fracción.' she thought happily
"Any time" he said with a wink. "C'mon" Luppi said holding his arm out to Sayuri. Sayuri smiled before she linked her arm with his. Then the both of them made their way down the hall to Aizen's room.
