Hello everyone! I'm REALLY SORRY for not updating sooner, but, I…lost my inspiration a bit. Writing really is a temperamental art, isn't it? One moment, we can be bursting with ideas, and then the next, we can't type a word. The only cure for this I find is to eat junk food, sleep in, and just…recuperate. This is what I've been trying to do for the last little while, so, please excuse my late update for the New Year.

As for when the baby is born…go to YouTube, search: Hollow Bash 2 by Sehanort, and watch it. My answer is the same as Luppi's when Ikkaku asks if he's a man or a woman…

Now…IT'S JANUARY! MY BIRTHDAY BE ON THE 20th Y'ALL! WOOT! If any of you want to give me something, REVIEW! Actually, the only thing I could want from the internet would be a chibi ulquihime picture somehow involving green peace…LOL.

The year two-thousand and ten is upon us. May it be a good year full of laughter, life and love. (AND UPDATES OF COURSE!)

The Espada sat outside the huge stone doors of Szayel's lab. They would have gotten up, moved around, or just plain left, but, the last time Grimmjow attempted to, he pulled a trip wire with his leg and caused the floor beneath him to erupt in acid covered spikes.

They were waiting for Nel.

Nnoitra had managed to capture Nel, and explain the situation to the strange party's members. Dodonchakka and Pesche were ecstatic, before turning around and yelling: "WHY DID YOU WASTE SO MUCH TIME PLAYING ETERNAL TAG THEN?!"

Nnoitra almost forgot why he was helping these freaks.

So, Orihime and Espada 1 through 10 (minus 8, Szayel was performing the operation,) were sitting against the wall and staring at the evil, diabolical and pink haired scientist's lab doors. They weren't even trying to make conversation, they just kept staring at the mesmerizing doors.

Suddenly, and without warning, a sharp, high pitched and distinctly feminine scream erupted from the lab, and the doors slowly opened.

There stood Nel, green hair swaying behind her, mask fully restored, and garbed in her traditional Espada clothing. She regarded the Espada who stared back at her for a minute, before…

"NNOI-CHAN!" Nel screamed, spreading her arms and running at Nnoitra at high speeds.

Nnoitra's eyes widened, and her muttered "Oh shit." before he started running.

Nel chased after him, laughing happily as she sonidoed down the hallways.

No one moved, but their eyes followed the two until they were out of sight.

Szayel crawled out of his lab, shaking terribly. "Is she gone?" He asked in a small voice. They all nodded in return.

"Ha! The great Nel SCREAMS from a BIT OF PAIN!" Grimmjow yelled, true to his nature.

Szayel coughed and added in an even quieter voice,

"That was actually me…"

________________________________________________________________________

After the initial shock, everyone welcomed Nel back. Szayel discovered that she had no memory of the relationship that she and Nnoitra had before the incident, and, now he had become her "Nnoi-Chan." She also squealed for joy when she saw Orihime, and pressed her ear to the orange haired woman's stomach, without her consent.

Ulquiorra had a "talk" with her later.

The question on everyone's mind was about rank. They marched on masse down to his throne room, and demanded the answer.

"What's one more Espada?" Aizen said, shrugging in a very un-Aizen like gesture.

"Orihime is practically one right now." The evil overlord said, before almost smacking his head when he realized his mistake.

"OMG! I'M AN ESPADA! OOOHHH, CAN I HAVE A TATOO?!" She squealed, clapping her hands.

This all escalated to the evening, when Nnoitra decided that he desperately needed a drink, and walked to the lounge where the various bottles of Sake were kept.

There, he saw Nel, already hitting the sauce, and by herself too…

He sauntered over, and plopped himself down in front of her. Pouring himself a glass, he looked at the woman in front of him.

"WHAT?!" She yelled, glowering at the Espada.

"Whoa, didn't peg you for an angry drunk. You're acting worse than…" He didn't fare finish his sentence…everyone in Las Noches knew that the walls had ears…

"YEAH?! WELL…AT LEAST I'M NOT A WALKING SPOON!" Nel yelled, pushing her face across the table to yell at Nnoitra.

"WHAT IS IT WITH YOU PEOPLE AND THE SPOON JOKES?!" He yelled back, glowering back at the woman.

"IT'S BEACAUSE YOU LOOK LIKE A FRICKIN' SPOON!"

"WELL AT LEAST I DON'T LOOK LIKE I'M DRUNK ALL THE TIME!"

Nel gasped, and then covered her face. "DON'T YOU DARE MAKE FUN OF MY MARKINGS! AT LEAST MINE AREN'T PISS COLOURED!"

"YOU TAKE THAT BACK!"

"WHY DON'T YOU?!"

Everyone (as in everyone in Las Noches (they all could hear them).) sighed. This relationship was off to a GREAT start…

I'M SORRY! I know this one isn't so good, but, my inspiration is starting to fail! NOOOO! On another note, I NEED NAMES FOR THE BABY! Please, if you have any suggestions, I'd really appreciate it A LOT.

The next update will probably be on my birthday, January 20th.
