Chapter 13: Kai's Story
Kai and Ichigo removed the chokers as soon as they entered the house. Grimmjow immediately ran up the walls literally and Ulquiorra flew to his favorite spot above the tv. As soon as Kai got into the living room he stopped. Everyone else sat down on the available seats in the living room. "What's wrong?" He looked at the brand new tv and the replaced window. He didn't replace either, so who got in the house?
"Nothing to worry out." He looks at his house guests. "Would you guys like anything?"
"Not hungry."
"No."
"Ate earlier." No one seemed to want anything so he decided to get something for Ulquiorra and Grimmjow he knew they were hungry. So Kai pulled out a blood packet and the only pack of fish he could find. He set the fish on the counter and looked around in the cabinets for a plate to put the fish on. When he found one he turned around to find the fish gone. "What?" He looked around and scratched his head in confusion. Then something dropped on his head and landed in front of him.
It was the packet of fish, but it was open and one was missing. Grimmjow quietly but quickly ran across the ceiling with the fish in his mouth to get back to the living room. Kai looked up at the ceiling, but nothing was there. "Hey, Ichi_kun?" Kai grabbed the blood packet and walked back into the living room. The orangette looked at him. "Yeah?"
"Does Grimmjow sneak in and take food?"
"Yeah, he does." Ichigo answered looking at Grimmjow who was laying by his feet chewing on the fish. Nel walked over to the sliding door and opened it. "It's good for them to play in as much open space as possible." Kai just smiled at the advice and walked toward Ulquiorra holding out the blood packet. Before it could reach the bat a flash of blue crossed their vision and snatched the packet out of Kai's hand. "Grimmjow!" The said cat dashed through the sliding doorand running up the tree that was miraculously bullet free. Ulquiorra immediately flew after him wanting to get his lunch back.
"Let them play." Nel giggled watching Ulquiorra chase after Grimmjow. Ulquiorra used his tail to try and grab Grimmjow, but he was a little faster. The feline ran up to the last tree branch and laid there. The hand that held the packet hung off the branch. His fish still hung from his mouth. The branch was just out of Ulquiorra's reach, so he flew up to the branch and snatched the fish right out of the panther's mouth. He growled and jumped out the tree to get his fish back, but Ulquiorra flew out of the way. Grimmjow landed on the ground and jumped at the bat again. "He deserved it for bein an asshole to me yesterday." Ichigo declared turning away from the scene to look at a sleeping Stark and Nnoitora.
"So, Kai." He turned from the scene to look at Nel. "Nel is curious, how does Kai know Aizen_sama so well? Everyone, but Szayel_sama knows Ichigo's story."
"How do you know?"
"Gin_sama told us. He thought it was funny." If Gin wasn't his boss, he'd kick his ass to next Tuesday. 'That asshole!' Kai bit his lip and twirled his fingers around. "It's not that easy to talk about." Nel squeezed his arm. "Please, Kai_kun, If it's bad I'll give you a big hug."
*Flashback*
Thirteen year old Kai walked down the street holding a teddy bear in one hand and his mother's hand in the other. Kai was born in Germany, but he's half German half Italian. His mother's German and his deceased father is Italian. He never had friends, because of his eyes and the fact that he wasn't purely German. His mom was his only friend. His mom always felt bad since she would wake up to him crying every night. Every year on his birthday, December 25, his mother would take him to the abandoned park to play in the snow that he loved so much.
This is always how he spent his Christmas, but he didn't mind. He loved the snow and he loved his mother. As he ran to play with the snow his mother sat on the bench and played in the snow. "Come play with me Mi_chan." Her name was Mina Bellarose. She was shamed by her family, because she had a baby, but no husband. They had nobody left. It was just them. "Mi_chan, come play with me!" Kai looked to his mother smiling then he frowned when a large shadow appeared behind Mina.
"Mi_chan, behind you!" Before she had time to react a large blade pierced through her chest. Her eyes widened as she coughed up blood. "K-Kai, run now." He was horrified and confused at the state his mother was in. "But Mi_chan-"
"Don't ask questions just run." Kai stood up and ran off as her head dropped and didn't lift up again. He ran unaware that he was being followed. He slipped on a sheet of ice falling on his face. As he sat up tears flowed down his cheeks. "Mi_chan."
"Well, there you are." He jumped at the voice it was rough, hoarse, and raspy, but he had no idea what the voice was saying. The cold wind blew burning the poor boy's cheeks. He used his coat sleeve to cover his face until the wind stopped blowing. "Isn't that cute? Now come with me." As soon as Kai moved his sleeves down he saw the huge hands reach for him. He scrambled to his feet and ran. "Come on kid don't run you'll only make things harder." The large man caught up to him and grabbed his by the hood.
"Stop it!" He thrashed and struggled to get away. "Look, brat I don't know what you're saying, but I'm only doing my job." He pulled Kai closer and wrapped an arm around his waist. He hoisted the boy over his shoulder and headed to a nearby black car. Out the corner of Kai's eye he could see his dead mother still dripping blood from the fatal wound. "Mi_chan." The tears never stopped flowing down the boys cheeks as he beat on the man's back. "That's it!" He was suddenly hit in the back of the head and knocked unconscious.
