The picture was of a young man with messy red hair and his bangs long enough to cover his face. He wore a wide smirk on his face. "The person in the file is Angel. He's an akumu, who had been sentenced to twelve hundred years for the murder of thirty demons, and fifty humans." Grimmjow shot out of his seat knocking the chair over. "You mean Aizen let loose a deranged Akumu serial killer in Hueco Mundo?!"
"That seems to be the gist of it, yeah. Where's Nel?" Gin asked suddenly in a slight panic. "She's with Nao, Kai and Ichigo. You told Grimmjow you wanted to talk with all four of us. Nnoitora and Szayel weren't with us." Stark explained. "Call Nnoitora. Call him now, right now!"
"What's wrong?" Everyone seemed to be on edge and nervous. "Angel knows what he wants and has already set his eyes on them. Nel is in his way. He will get rid of her by any means necessary. One of his victims was Baraggan Louisenbairn."
"That's who killed him? The king of death was killed by a brat?!"
"Call Nnoitora before it's too late!" There was a light knock on the door. "Who is it?!" There was another knock on the door. "Dammit, say something." There was another knock. "G-Grimmy *cough* Gr- *hack*" The knocking slowed down as it seemed like his world was crashing down around him. He knew that voice, but it couldn't be. That couldn't happen. He hurried to the door and swung it open. Nel stood at the door covered in blood. Her eyes dulled and her mouth dripping with blood. She continuously knocked, but instead of the door being there it was his chest. "Gr-Grim."
He looked down at her, eyes wide and almost out of focus. It was as if he was in a trance. "Grimmjow, move out of the way." He was pulled out of the way by Stark while Harribel and Ulquiorra checked Nel's condition. "Hey, snap out of it!" In a fit of rage, he pushed Stark away and ran in the direction of the arcade. "Grimmjow, wait!"
xXx
They finally found the arcade and began playing games. "Hey." Ichigo stopped playing when he saw that Nel wasn't with them. "Where's Nel? She was right behind us." Kai stopped playing his game and also looked around. "Nel?" There was no answer. "Were we that fast?" Kai asked Ichigo. "She said that she left something at home and went back to go get it." Ichigo looked at Nao incredulously. Nao didn't even look away from his game. "We should check and make sure." Kai nodded in agreement. As they were leaving, Nao grabbed both their arms. They turned to look at Nao in confusion. "Nel's a big girl. She can handle a little walk back home."
Suddenly the door burst open. All heads turn to the door to see Grimmjow anything but happy. The rage radiated off him and the pressure in the air became heavier. Ichigo and Kai visibly wince in slight pain. "You bastard!" The angry demon yelled and stomped over to the three. The closer he was, the more it seemed to hurt both Ichigo and Kai. Kai clutched his chest and leaned on a nearby arcade game. Ichigo held his head while backing away from the blunette.
Nao stumbled back in fear. "Wh-what did I do?" Grimmjow grabbed him by the throat and slammed into the game. "You know exactly what you did. I will kill you." Tears were rolling down Nao cheeks as he was pinned down by fear and a larger hand. "Grimmjow stop it!" Two pairs of feminine hands grabbed his arm trying to pull him away. Nao watched the demon's eyes change. They were deadly and pupils turned catlike. "You're hurting them!"
Grimmjow squeezed cutting off Nao's airway. Nao clawed at the hand trying to escape the upcoming death coming his way. Stark suddenly appeared and hit the angry younger man on the back of his neck. Grimmjow dropped Nao and fell forward, but was caught by the hands that were holding his arms. Stark looked to the girls and realized it was Dani and Nia. He then looked at Ichigo and Kai. Both were leaning against the games with their eyes closed. "What's going on, Stark?" Dani asked. "Why did he go ballistic like that?"
"Please, don't leave any details out." Stark rubbed the back of his head. "Dammit." He looked to where Nao was, but he was gone. "Shit." Stark looked around the arcade for Nao, but he was gone. "What happened?" There in the doorway was Gin leaning against the doorway trying to catch his breath.
xXx
Everyone but Nao was at Stark's house since his had the most rooms. Nel, Ichigo,Kai, and Grimmjow were upstairs recovering. Dani, Gin, Nia, and Harribel stood in the living room waiting for Ulquiorra and Stark to come back. "School didn't even start yet and we're already having problems. I should've been able to see through that." Gin set a hand on Dani's shoulder to reassure her. "You're not the only one he fooled. Don't beat yourself up."
"But, he's after either Kai or Ichigo. He took down Nel in a matter of seconds. What makes you think either of us stand a chance? Even Harribel and Stark will have a hard time, no doubt Ulquiorra. He's two ranks below Nel and Harribel is one rank below."
"He just surprised her, that's all. If Nel wasn't so oblivious and they fought head on, she wouldn't go down so easily. Harribel defended. "We'll catch him." Soon after that the door open to reveal Ulquiorra and Stark. "We need to get Kai and Ichigo out of here." Harribel's senses picked up something. She hurried up the stairs to Ichigo's room. He wasn't there. She hurried over to Kai's room just in time to watch him disappear into thin air. "Awe, you're too late." She turned to a nearby corner to see the same man from the picture holding a black katana. Her eyes widened as a long slash appeared across heer chest. Blood sprayed on the ceiling and the floor. She dropped to her knees and covered the wound to try and stop the bleeding.
"I thought about including all you in my game, but decided against it and chose to just play a little with the most vulnerable of the great Espada." The ginger tapped his chin and looked up in deep thought. "I wonder how Grimmy's doing." Angel shrugged. "Oh well. Bye, bye." Angel disappeared without a trace. The door bursts open to reveal Dani and Stark. The rest soon followed. "Are you okay?"
"Go…check…on…Grimmjow. He did something." Dani walked closer to Harribel. "I'm fine. I have regenerative powers. Find out what's wrong with Grimmjow."

A few hours ago
Szayel had just given Grimmjow a sedative and left the room. As soon as his foot hit the last step all eyes were on him. "I gave him a sedative so that he wouldn't go crazy when he woke up. Nel will be fine in a few hours." Everyone sighed in relief. What about Ichigo and Kai? Are they okay?" Dani asked in a panic. "Yes. It's rare, but some humans can sense spiritual pressure. I took some of their blood to test out for safety precautions, but they'll be awake in a few hours, as well." With that said, Szayel left without another word. "I'm going to check Nao's home and see if I can find anything." Ulquiorra stood up and headed for the door. "Wait. What about the security system?" Ulquiorra held up a key card. "Luckily, Grimmjow was still in enough control to take Nao's key card." With that said, Ulquiorra left with stark heading out with him as well.

Grimmjow's temporary room
Angel stood in a nearby corner hiding his spiritual pressure and watching Grimmjow with curiosity. He finally left his corner and skipped over to the bed. He climbed on the bed and straddle Grimmjow's waist. He folded his arms and laid on Grimmjow's chest with his head resting on his arms. "Grimmjow." He called in a sing song voice. "Wake up, Grimmy." There was no answer. "Come on Grimmy, you gonna let a sedative knock you out?" Still no answer. "I wonder if you can still hear me."
"You're really cute, you know that? No wonder all the girls swoon over you. Those pictures with Ichi will really drive them over the edge. You've really outdone yourself." He complimented without expecting an answer. "It'd a dream for any girl to be this close to you. I'm honored, really. Here I am straddling the great Grimmjow Jeagerjaques waist. All my friends in prison will be so jealous." Angel moved closer to Grimmjow's face. "Before I go play with my intended targets, I think I'll play with you first."
