Chapter Twelve: Refrigerator Shopping
Time passed and the tension was still going on between Hueco Mundo and the Soul Society. Orihime received her seal last week and she's back to her normal self.
Ulquiorra secretly asked Halibel about "dating" and "relationships." She gave him some general ideas about the subjects and helped him for his first date with Orihime. They used Urahara's tenkai kezzu again to bring an expensive restaurant to Las Noches. Ulquiorra and Orihime made some five star dishes and it was divine. (Why can't guys be more like that?) . Sigh. So romantic, isn't it. He even let her sleep with him that night, just in case of bad dreams. He kissed her cheek goodnight and dreamed about her plump pink lips that tasted like cherries and rain.
The next day, Aizen took the Espadas to a Hardware Store. He was searching to buy a bigger fridge for the kitchen. But before they left Ulquiorra used ganzo* and sucked Orihime's soul so she could go with them spiritually but there was a catch. Their souls have to blend together until one of them decides to leave.
"Daddy, up up," said Ai.
Ulquiorra picked up his little girl and put her on his shoulders. She grabbed his hair but not to roughly so it wouldn't hurt him or mom. It took them awhile to find the fridge that Aizen had wanted but they found out that it cost too much. Zommari and Aaroniero both tried to let Aizen reconsider about the fridge but Aizen wouldn't hear any of it.
"But my lord, we can wait until it's on retail, on sale or on wholesale but we can't get it right now. Please listen to reason," Zommari complied.
"Yes, it will be suicide if you buy it today," agreed Aaroniero.
"But I want it today and I can't keep eating rotten and frozen food anymore. You can't stop me from buying it unless…..." said Aizen.
He looked around for someone to help him. There weren't any workers around so he used the companies' phone and called the manager.
"You need some workers here in kitchen appliances," he grudgingly said. Aizen hanged up the phone and waited for a worker. One came running towards them smelling like sex and alcohol.
"How can I help you?" the panting guy asked.
"I want a third opinion about me buying this fridge here?" Aizen commanded. The employee looked up at the fridge price and his eyes were wide then he looked at Aizen like he was crazy or on drugs.
"Sir, this fridge cost 2million yen."
"Yes, I'm aware of that, I don't need you to tell me about how much it cost but give me your thoughts about me buying this," Aizen replied getting annoyed.
He wasn't the only one. Ulquiorra was getting uncomfortable and he needed to go to the bathroom. He wanted this to hurry up and relieve himself from this fluid in his body. The clerk and Aizen were arguing over the price and Ulquiorra really had to go pee so he left to go. He came back a few minutes later to find Aizen and the clerk was still going at it. He sighed and felt a tingling sensation in his body. He mentally groaned enjoying the feeling and the pleasure he was receiving from his charge without her knowing. Yet the yelling and screaming was getting way out of hand.
"I want this fridge for 1 thousand yen," Aizen yelled.
"I can't do that I'll get fired from this job," yelled the clerk.
Night came and some of the Espadas were asleep and Aizen was still trying to buy the damn fridge.
"Lower the FUCKING price," Aizen screamed.
"No, I don't want to lose my job," yelled the clerk.
"You're going to get fired anyways because you weren't here like you were supposed to instead you went to have sex with some bimbo and drank some whiskey," Aizen countered.
The clerk didn't say anything about that and he knew that this man in front of him was right so he lowered the price and left.
"Finally, that's over with. Who's hungry for some food?" he asked.
The Espadas stared angrily at their creator and silently walked away from him to get something to eat. Ulquiorra and Yammi stayed behind for the fridge under Aizen's orders. The fridge was pushed towards them by heavy lifters. Ulquiorra and Yammi left carrying the fridge. They all went to pizzeria and ordered a deluxe deep Chicago dish pizza. They left from the pizzeria with some leftovers and went home.
