Ah, I would like to say thank you to everyone who reads this and reviews/ leaves comments! It's certainly a good motivation booster. I've had a huge blob of writer's block recently... but I'll beat it soon D

Szayel makes an appearance! Woop! Anyone else love that character? He's freaking awesome. Shame about Mayuri and his equally mad scientific brain T_T Anway I'll shut up now and let you read... here is chapter 10. Enjoy!!

Chapter 10- Kyoki Kagakusha (The mad scientist)

I slid to a halt, skidding a little way and making a disgusting screeching noise on the freshly-polished hallway floor. I looked up at the number on the wall. Eight.

Taking a few steps towards the huge black doors in front, I realised how stupid I was.

'Shit. They're all in a meeting! Why didn't I remember this? Damn.'

Turning to walk back to my room, I heard another screech coming from the hallway opposite.

'...Adoriana Hertz, right?'

Looking round, I saw a flicker of light in the pair of bright honey yellow eyes staring right into my own.

'Szayel Aporro-sama!'

He smiled smugly and sauntered towards me, his walk was so full of air and grace he practically floated.

'Ahh, I've been expecting you. Come in, come in.'

Shivers ran down my spine... those words sounded as if they had come from some sort of cheesy horror film. Szayel held the door open for me, and so I crossed my arms warily and followed him in. The scent of chemicals hit my nostrils as soon as he shut the doors behind us. It reminded me of that morning I had spent chained up (such wonderful memories… not), the smell so clean and chemical it was sickening. It stung my throat, so much I began having a small but embarrassing coughing fit.

'Please forgive me Szayel Aporro-sama for dropping by like this. I have no permission, and I...'

Szayel rested a hand on my shoulder, smiling a mad... but slightly comforting smile.

'I said come in. Now, do you have a question for me?'

He pulled out a chair, sitting on it backwards like a rebellious school child whilst I shuffled from foot to foot, feeling quite out of place and awkward.

'Yes... I do have a question. But it's a little odd.'

'Look around. Do you think I care if it's odd? Nothing is odd to me. I'm a scientist.'

Tasking a quick look around... he was right. The things hanging on his ceiling had such odd shapes.

My mind snapped back to the pending question.

'A...anyway. The question.'

'Ask me already. I'm getting bored.'

Twiddling my fingers around, I lowered my voice, almost expecting Ichimaru or Aizen to pop out from nowhere.

'Is... Is it possible for Arrancar to... er... you know....'

'Reproduce?'

Taken aback, I almost tripped over my own foot.

'How did you know!? I mean... did he tell you?'

'If by "he" you mean Ulquiorra, then yes, he did.'

My eyes widened... what the hell was he talking about?

'What!? Ulquiorra-sama? I... I'm not sleeping with him!'

'Yes yes I know. You are sleeping with Nnoitra, correct? Ulquiorra simply told me that you were sleeping with him.'

I raised an eyebrow. Gossiping? Ulquiorra? No way. He didn't even talk, let alone gossip.

'Are you telling me, Szayel Aporro-sama, that Ulquiorra-sama told you I was having sex with Nnoitra? Are you serious?'

Szayel tilted his head back, letting out a small disappointed sigh.

'It doesn't sound right when you say it like that, Adoriana. It was more in the form of a warning, not as gossip.'

'A... warning?'

'He too asked the same question. When I gave him the answer, he said I should be prepared to deliver your and Nnoitra's child. I was rather taken aback at this... I can't image Nnoitra making love to a woman.'

A little smile spread across my face.

'I wouldn't put it as making love, Szayel Aporro-sama. It's more for the hell of doing it. And you sound as if you think Nnoitra... swung the other way, if you know what I mean.'

The sides of Szayel's mouth crept up into a smirk at the thought of Nnoitra being gay.

'That's impossible, we all know that very well.'

And then the smirk turned into a grin; such an evil grin, I felt my knees give way a little.

'You don't speak of Nnoitra with the proper respect... perhaps I should punish you?'

He stood up and walked towards me, picking up a very small but sharp knife and twiddling around with it in his fingers. My mind started to question what kind of torture he would put me through. However he did not carry on his little fetish idea, and resumed to answering my question.

'I can tell you that due to my extensive research on arrancar that it is possible for them to reproduce. However, I have never come across this sort of situation, and so I would like to collect some... research material... from you.'

He fumbled about in a few cupboards and draws, pulling a strange penis-shaped object from one of them after a few minutes.

'Ahhh, here it is!'

I winched, thinking it was one of his 'spare parts' or something. Szayel flounced over to me, shaking the weird object in the air.

'This, Adoriana, is my latest creation. It is utterly flawless in all ways, but that is pretty obvious since I created it.'

I hate the way he was so proud of himself, so sure of himself that he could say that his new, non-tested non-approved creation was 'flawless'. Raising an eyebrow at him, Szayel continued jiggling the odd-looking object around by her face.

'What the hell is it?'

Szayel made a forced frown; it looked so silly and pathetic I just wanted to laugh. But then I remembered what he had said earlier about being punished...

'Why, it's a pregnancy test you fool. To tell us what- if anything- is in here...'

He tapped my toned stomach with his cold, slender fingers, sending little tingles up my back.

'W... what do I do with it? Do I put it in my mouth?'

Szayel grinned.

'Oh no no no. You put it where you put Nnoitra.'

My mouth automatically curved down into a disgusted grimace. The thought of putting something like that somewhere like that made me feel a little faint.

'Oh I don't know... maybe I'll be alright.'

I backed away slowly towards the door, but Szayel gripped my arm lightly and pulled me back.

'You could do that... but what do you think Nnoitra would do if you gave birth to his child?'

My eyes rolled up as if I was looking into my mind. I could just see Nnoitra beating the crap out of a small bloody body lying limp against a wall.

'Oh God...'

I fell against the wall and slid to the floor, sitting head in hands at the prospect. I also knew Aizen wouldn't approve of that. I highly doubt he would approve of us sleeping together anyway.

'Okay. Okay okay okay! I'll do it. I'll use that test thing.'

Szayel smiled, and put his hand out for me to grab, pulling me to her feet again. He then guided me to a little dingy room at the back, urging me to sit down on a stool up against the wall.

'Now, open your legs a little... I'll need to put it just here...'

'Wait! I thought I was doing it! I don't want you touching me up down there!'

Szayel stood back a little, looking hurt.

'What do you take me for, a pervert? I know what it looks like down there... I'm not a virgin! I'm doing this in the name of science!'

Peering at his face, I noticed he looked sincere and strangely innocent. I guess I knew he wouldn't do anything weird. In fact, it was then that I realised he was the only decent (if not extremely weird and a little fruity) Espada I'd met. I had never met Halibel, and the one time I'd saw Stark, he was snoring up against a wall outside his room.

My mind turned to think of all the other Espada I knew: Yammy was an idiot, the ninth Espada (I couldn't even remember his name) was... well... a freak. Nnoitra was great in bed, but apart from that he was so violent about everything. As for Ulquiorra... I couldn't say anything good about him. But at the same time, I couldn't say anything bad. Yeah, I'd seen him around a lot, and even spoken to him a few times, but obviously I had never had a convosation with him (who had), and didn't know what he was really like inside. I really did ponder about that one. Odd.

Every time I had seen Grimmjow, he had been but a blur of electric blue shooting past her, in a rush to get somewhere or do something.

My wonderful pondering session was cut short when I felt something cold and hard slip inside of me. I clutched the sides of the chair and let out a deep breath... this hurt like a fucking bitch.

'This will hurt. It will hurt quite a lot actually. Oh well, grin and bear it.'

Szayel stuck his tongue out a little like a child who was over-concentrating on something. A little 'heh' slipped out from his mouth as he forced his creation inside his new test subject. He loved testing things out; he didn't care about the pain and discomfort he was causing his 'victim'.

Tilting my head back a little and widening my legs a lot more, I felt the object pushing further up inside my body. As it brushed against me on the inside, I felt the pain melt away and an odd sensation kick in. Biting my lip, I gulped down a groan, trying not to make myself look like a sex-addicted freak in front of Szayel.

He looked up and saw me chewing my poor lip to shreds.

'Adoriana. I know what you're holding back. Let it out. I want to note what sort of sound it is, and for how long you make these sounds. It'll be great for research and stuff.'

However I still held it all in, despite the fact that my toes were curling and my lips were wavering. It began to be all too much for my body to hold it. I shook violently as a burning orgasm burst inside of me; my teeth released my lip from its clasp and let out a deep yet feminine sigh.

'Complete!'

Szayel's cheeks reddened a little as he pulled the pregnancy test out again. I guess he knew how embarrassed I must have felt. He was not turned on at all by it though. Like he said before: It was all in the name of science. Besides. He already had his eyes on another woman.
