Not So Happy Ending
Chapter 12: Tia: My Mission Part 1
~T~
"Tia-chan!" I stopped and turned around to see Ulquiorra running up to me. Once he caught up, I started walking again with him following. "Once ad-opt-ted mean?"
"It means you give your kid away. Or when someone gives you their kid." I replied to him. He frowned for a second.
"Why did Berry-san ad-opt-ted you?" he asked as he glanced at the mansion behind us. "Didn't your Mommy and Daddy want you?"
"No."
"That's mean of them."
"It is."
"You should go and find them and ask WHY they gave you to Berry-san," he said. "If Mommy gave ME away, I would do the same thing." I shook my head a bit.
"I don't know my address…"
"Oh…" he looked upset that he couldn't help. He smiled after a second. "I'll try and help you find your add-ress! It can't be too hard, right? How big can this town be?"
I smiled at him and nodded. "Okay."
~S~
~DING~DONG~DING~DONG~
"I'LL GET IT!" I screamed as I sonido'ed down the stairs. Ilforte-nii slid down the banister thingy and beat me to it.
"Too slow, bro!" He smirked as he ran to the door. I screamed at him before jump tackling him.
"I CALLED IT FIRST!"
"NO, I'M OLDER SO I GET THE PRIVILEGE OF OPENING THE DOOR FIRST!" I smacked him as Mommy opened the door. We both stopped for a second to see who it was.
"Hello, Mrs. Granz. Can Szayel-kun and Ilforte-san come out to play?" asked Ulquiorra. There was a girl standing next to him too.
"Of course, go out and play with your neighbors boys."
"I don't wanna play with babies though!" protested Ilforte-nii as he headed towards the stairs.
"Ilforte, if you don't go out and play with them, you're going to time out." He stopped dead in his tracks.
"Yes, Mother…"
~T~
"Szay-kun, Forte-san, this is Tia-chan. But Mrs. Berry, being the meanie she is, changed her name to Hali, so you have to call Tia-chan Hali around Mrs. Berry." They nodded as Ulquiorra finished with the introductions.
"So what are we doing here, bro?" asked Ilforte-san.
"Tia-chan's REAL Mommy and Daddy gave her away to Mrs. Berry. I'm gonna help her find her REAL Mommy and Daddy again," replied Ulquiorra-kun as he pointed at my 'home'.
They continued discussing the plan as Grimmjow came by. His cat was on a leash and he was surprisingly taking it on a walk.
"Hiya," he said with a grin as he waved. I smiled back as he stopped.
"Can I pet your kitty?" I asked as Ilforte looked up. He grinned and crouched down beside Grimmjow's cat and petted it.
"Sure, I'm Grimmjow by the way, you're Hali, right?" I just nodded, ignoring that he called me Hali.
"Grimmjow! You have to help us!" Ulquiorra said as he tugged on the older boy's sleeve.
"What are ya doing?"
"Find Tia-chan's REAL Mommy and Daddy."
"Ulquiorra," I cut in. "If we find MY parents, shouldn't I help you find something YOU want first? It's only fair that I help you with something for helping me." He frowned for a moment in thought.
"Hmm…I guess you're right…" He looked up the hill slowly. "Well…there is ONE thing that I really want…"
"Anything, I'll help you get it. I'm sure you three will too, right?" I asked Ilforte, Grimmjow, and Szayel. They nodded.
Ulquiorra-kun waved us to follow him up the sidewalk. We walked for a bit before stopping in front of the mansion. It was HUGE.
"I forgot Dracula, my plushie, in there," he said. Ilforte shuddered. "And I really want him back, but it's scary in there."
"I'll go in if you all come with me," I said after thinking a bit. The others didn't say anything.
"I'm out, I'm not going in THERE again, sis." Ilforte-san glanced down at Szayel-kun. "What about you bro?" He looked up at his older brother.
"Ilforte-nii is right, it's too scary…" Szayel said as he looked down at his feet. "Sorry, Tia-chan." They headed home after a bit of quietness.
"Sorry, Hali, I'm not going in there, it gives me the creeps from out here." Grimmjow waved before taking his cat home. I looked down at Ulquiorra-kun, who looked disappointed.
"…Are you still going to go in there…?" he asked quietly. I didn't say anything. "You don't have to if you don't want to…I'm older so it's my fault that I left Dracula in there and it'll be my fault if you go in there and never come out…"
I was quiet again. "…I'll get your Dracula back, Ulquiorra-kun. I promise. You don't even have to come in with me. I'll find a way in and get Dracula." He looked up hopefully. "AND I'll come back out too."
He smiled before glomping me. "Thank you, Tia-chan!" He jumped around for a minute. "Yay! Dracula's coming home!" He thanked me again before running home.
I promised him I'd get Dracula out. And I plan on keeping my promise…
