A/N: So far, I'm on schedule. Which is a good and bad thing. Good because I keep you guys happy, bad because I'm catching up to the longhand REALLY FAST! EEK! I'm gonna have to crack down on this...

It's the End of the World as We Know It-Chapters Ten and Eleven

It Can Happen/Stuck in the Middle With You

Neko (Cat) (Marie)/ Egao (Smile) (Gin)

Damn white walls!

Okay, I cursed because that's the reason I'm separated from Krisstie, aimlessly wandering the halls of Las Noches. I fear my pelt blended in with the wall like a new coat of paint. Why does the whole place have to be white? Is Aizen afraid of color or something? Sierra would tell me that my coral-whatever the hell it is, is wrong because 'Then he wouldn't have Espada with such vibrant hair' or that 'The ceiling of his throne room looks like the Sistine Chapel' or what have you.

She's probably getting the crap beat out of her now.

See, I will never in a million years believe that she can be Aizen. Beating Gin was purely the element of the ninja, science and dumb luck on both sides of the ice. I know she has some skill, but I'm skeptic otherwise. And I've seen her criminal record; it's as pure as the Pope. So as far as I'm concerned, she's just a big illusionist. It's not like I don't believe her; I just have to see it to believe it. That's my policy with everyone.

Something I should note: I AM a human. I'm...'Yoruichi-ish', for lack of a word that would actually describe me. Cause right now, I sound like Ichimaru. I'm not happy with that. Can't I at least sound like Ylfortz or someone normal?!

"A door? Hmm...maybe something in a room will help me!" I looked to the left side of the door to see that it was slightly ajar. "I am smooth today..." I smirked as I waltzed in, but like a boss...

Only to be bombarded by the sound of "SZAYEL-APPORO-SAMA! SZAYEL-APPORO-SAMA!" being repeated like a broken record. So cliché... and as expected, aforementioned bubble gum dude noticed this and stood in front of me.
"Well, if it isn't the hard to handle talking kitten."

"Shit..."

I want to run.

But because of her, I can't.

I want to fight the good fight.

She screwed me out of that for the time being too.

Sierra is officially Kamishini no Yari enemy number one, knockin' Aizen down the list. And THAT is something, since she hasn't even TOUCHED Ran-chan. All it took was one surprise ambush to put me in this state. Pathetic. She boils my blood; her arrogant nature is going to gain her respect from everyone. I don't like that. But I can't screw her out of that now.

Damn girl... I pull out Shinsou "I really wanna skewer 'er. How 'bout ya, Shinsou?"

I think you two are going to get along quite nicely! You shouldn't be so hasty to hate, Gin; she is much like you.

"An' how's tha'? I'm nothin' like 'er!"

She can copy your face exactly.

"So can Starrk. Yer point?"

What's her name? Shinsou asked, apparently being forgetful again.

"Yer kiddin' righ'?" I facepalmed.
Give me a hint.

"Sigh...uh; name offa mountain range 'n southern Nevada..."

Ah, Sierra! What a lovely name, like yours.

"Uh, Shinsou, yer scarin' me. An' tha's sayin' somethin'."

Sorry. But still, she's a trickster, like the fox.

"Why'd ya have ta bring tha' up? Ya know I hate bein' called Foxface."

She is also like the snake you so proclaim yourself to be.

"Bu' tha's different!"

Sierra is just a slightly different perspective of you. More apt to show that side of her then you.

"So basically Aizen-sama is choosin' th' lesser of th' two evils?"

But choosing the lesser of two evils is still choosing evil, Gin. You should've remembered that, after all, Rangiku taught you that.

"Shut up Shinsou!" I finally snapped at my zanpakuto. I guess he's right; what Sierra did to me, minus the healing, is what I want to do to Aizen. She just flat out executes the task when the time comes instead of waiting in the shadows like myself. Knowledge is power... so she was simply a stronger me.

Not for long...

"GIN! Watch where you point that thing dammit! Do you WANT to bifurcate me?!"

I looked up and put Shinsou back in his scabbard. "Krisstie." If it was Sierra or Sosuke, I may have said yes. But I barely know the girl; why kill her yet? "Hi there!"

"You are ODD. Are you trying to kill me in some convoluted plot for Matsumoto or something?" she asked me.

"Nope. I was jus' walkin' 'round. How ya like yer room?"

"It's nice! Marie, Yuki and I are sharing it since Sierra requested to be alone. But where's the color?"

"If I knew where th' color headed off ta, I'd give ya a map on where it is. Were ya headed somewhere?"

"Nah, I just wanted to move a bit, but apparently I can't do that." Krisstie replied jokingly as she poked a finger at Shinsou. "Come in! I'm the only one here; no clue where everyone else is."

"Uh, sure!" I sat down on the carpet in her room and she sat down on her bed.

"Don't you want to sit somewhere other than the floor?"

"I don' mind; I'm used ta th' cold." Well, being around Sosuke for so long, someone like Krisstie who isn't trying to take over Soul Society is like a fire of unknown origin. No idea why or how it's there, but you take advantage of it.

"Kay! Is every day like this?"

"Not really." I said. "I mix the corridors and Szayel's chemicals and leave Grimmjow a bag of catnip. Minor stuff."

"Anything special? What about Aizen?"

Ooh, what should I tell her? So many things I've done to him it's almost normal. "I replaced 'is shampoo once wi' squirtable cheese. An' 'is body wash wi' hot glue. An' 'is sugar wi' crystal meth..."

"WHAT?!"

"Heh, gotcha! But yeah, I framed Nel on 'em. Tha's why she's a Privaron Espada."

"I wish I could be as good as you. That way I could get back at Sierra for hurting you." Krisstie piped up with a determined look on her face.

"I wa' thinkin' th' same thing. Excep' fer me, not you. She didn' harm ya, did she?"

"No, I'm fine." She sighed. "Got any ideas, Gin?" Ironic...

"I have one in mind, bu' I need info, a pen, paper an' a ninja." Heh, this is gonna be fun...

Be careful what you wish for Gin; you just might get it...

"A ninja?" Krisstie asked. "For what? And exactly what kind of information are we talking about? And what's the price?"

"My payment will be th' enjoymen' we ge' from i'. We nee' a ninja ta steal Aizen 'n Sierra's weapons." I snickered in the utter enjoyment of my plot. "An' tha' info would be all 'f 'er fangirl crazes in order fro' least ta most. We're gonna give 'em hell."

A/N: MUAHAHAHA! Evil Ichimaru...MUAHAHA! Try to identify the pairings now. I give you a box of chocolate covered Oreos if you get all four right.

And no, Szayel doesn't have any pairings. But you're close.
