Well… I saw that some of you were a little annoyed with the ending of the last chapter. But I have good news: I've gotten (way) back into Bleach… I'm trying to get caught up on the series, fix up my story, and add a new chappie whenever possible…
Speaking of, starting today, I'm going back and editing every chapter up to this one… I skim over them every once in a while and realize how many errors I've made… So I'ma go back and fix them all as well as elaborate a little bit here and there…
In the mean time, I hope you guys enjoy this chapter ^.^
Also, I decided to treat you guys by jumping right into the afction. I know I normally don't start in the same point of view that I ended in… But I'll make an objection~

Chapter 14: You're Bad at This
The man frowned deeply, turning his head ever so slightly to glance at the women behind him. "What do you want?" he asked harshly, his cerulean eyes narrowing at her.
Elnora crossed her arms over her chest, glaring daggers at the man. "If I'm not mistaken, Sarah isn't exactly fond of what you're doing."
Sarah shook slightly, still struggling against his grip. Grimmjow growled quietly. "And what are you gonna do about it?" he asked in a challenging tone.
Elnora narrowed her magenta eyes at the man, moving over to him. "I really don't think you want call me out in this situation." She said, shrugging calmly. "I suggest you back off."
Grimmjow let go of Sarah, who immediately huddled into the corner of the bed. He stood, full height, glaring down at Elnora.
She smirked slightly, he bare feet touching the ground as she stared coolly up at him. "What, you think just because you're taller then me then you can beat me?" she asked, cocking a brow. "I'm starting to think Smiley in there is smarter than you. And if that's all you and your little group have up your sleeves, then I don't think we have anything to worry about."
The man clenched his fist, gritting his teeth in frustration.
"Just dun loose your temper, Grimmy… I dun think we wanna give away our location… And ya might just do that if ya get pissy…"
The red head smirked slightly. "What? You afraid to hit a girl?" she asked, narrowing her eyes up at him. "You have no problem forcing yourself on my host… But something's holding you back now… Either someone put you up to this or you just don't have ba-"
Elnora was cut off by Grimmjow's first punch. She easily dodged it, stepping to the side. "So… someone did put you up to this." She finished bitterly. "C'mon, is that all you got?"
The man growled deeply, turning and throwing another punch at the girl, muttering the word: "Bitch" Under his breath.
Elnora dodged again, easily. "The only question is: Who…" she trailed off as she watched the man get angrier and angrier.
Grimmjow turned around, moving with more speed this time. He appeared as blur in front of her, his arm pulled back and ready to strike. In a split second, the chained blades shot up form beneath Elnora, wrapping tightly around the man's arm. "Oh my… that was a close one…" she taunted, the chains tightening around his arm.
"Now… I got any money that it was Smiley who sent you in here…" she said quietly circling around him, her magenta eyes narrowing. "The only question now, is why…" she finished.
Grimmjow smirked, glancing at the women out of the corner of his eye. "Lemme tell you somethin'… Foxy is one cunning son of a bitch."
Elnora cocked a brow, looking at him. "Hmmm?"
Before the man replied, he sharply yanked his arm back, the tension on the chains causing them to break. The shattered links fell to the ground, making a quiet changing noise as they faded away.
Just as fast as he had broke the chains, Grimmjow had Elnora pinning to the wall, his hand lightly grasping her neck. "Don't underestimate me, bitch." He growled deeply. "I crushed that worthless Shinigami, I can easily break you."
Sarah gasped in unison with Elnora, her trembling hands reaching up and holding her neck. 'What the hell…?' she asked herself silently.
Elnora reached up, tightly grasping the man's muscular arm, her nails digging into the skin of his hand. She glared at him, despite her helpless appearance.
"Ne, Grimmy… I thought I told ya not to hurt either of 'em." Gin interjected as he tugged slightly on the man's shoulder. "I dun think you wanna get Sousuke-taichou angry with ya…"
Elnora faded from Grimmjow's grip, appearing on the other side of him. "Bastard." She muttered, glaring daggers at the man.
Gin continued with his normal childish tone, turning to Elnora. "And you missy-"
"Don't call me 'missy', Smiley."
"-Missy, have to work on your people skills." He finished, completely ignoring Elnora's demand.
The women sighed heavily, growling under her breath. "You can tell me I need to work on my people skills when I try to rape your boyfriend over there."
The silver haired man chuckled more. "I'm sure Sousuke-taichou won't be too happy to hear that I have a new Besty…" he sang, his smile broadening.
"Besty?" Grimmjow asked, cocking a brow. "I pray to god you ain't talking about me."
Elnora rolled her eyes. "That's not exactly what I was talking about, Smiley…"
Sarah silently listened in on the conversation. She didn't feel like she had a place in the conversation, beside the fact that the Aqua haired man had just tried to have his way with her… But then again, looking back on their conversation, Sarah doubted that was he real intention.
Gin cleared his throat, glancing around the room quickly. "Now… First I gotta speak with Miss Sarah…" he glanced up at Elnora. "And Miss Elnora…" he trailed off slightly. "That means you gotta leave, Grimmy."
Grimmjow grumbled quietly, making his way over to the door. A small smirk played his lips as he looked back at Sarah. "I wasn't lyin' when I said you were cute, Girlie." He said before slipping out.
Izuru frowned deeply; his pure blonde bangs hanging in his eyes. "I'll go out and look…"
Toshirou perked his head up, narrowing his cyan eyes at the blonde. "For what, exactly?" he asked, rather suspiciously. He understood the sudden shock that Izuru must've been feeling, but at the same time didn't know what his motives where.
Izuru sighed quietly, taken aback by the harsh tone of voice. "For Sarah, of course…" he turned to face Toshirou, understanding fully that the boy was his superior. His hair still hung in his eyes, as if hiding his sudden feelings. "Sarah has the ability to hold two spirits, right? And Abarai-kun and I have met the other spirit… I can tell she's powerful. I don't think it'd be in the Soul Society's best interest if Aizen go a hold of that power…" Izuru concluded.
Toshirou agreed, but stayed silent. He gently nodded towards the blonde, giving him permission to leave.
Izuru nodded slightly, turning and bolting down the hallway. Matsumoto quickly stood up, a thoughtful look playing her face. "I'll go with him…" she said quietly, not even waiting for the ok to go before darting after Izuru.
Renji cocked a brow at the young captain. "Are you sure it's a good idea to let them both go like that?"
Toshirou nodded slightly. "On one hand, they bother know Ichimaru far better then you or I know him… On the other hand… do you honestly think I could've stopped them?" he asked, glancing down at Renji who reclined on the couch.
Renji nodded in agreement, sighing quietly. "Let's just hope it's not a repeat of what happened the day after Aizen and them left…" the red-head chuckled some, a small smile playing his lips. "Even though that would be pretty funny."
The boy huffed, crossing his arms over his chest. "Apparently you didn't have to deal with either one of them afterwards." He replied with a cringe.
Renji laughed out. "Yeah I did! Who do you think babied Izu? I swear, that guy is funny as hell when he's drunk!"
Gin waved his hands slightly at Grimmjow, shooing him out of the room. "Oh… Sarah, dun listen to him… I… I mean, you certainly are cute." He said, smirking. "But he was only do that to mess with ya…"
Sarah swallowed hard, staring up at Gin. She was still trembling from the scare she had before, her knees pulled close to her chest.
The man chuckled quietly., "Aw, Sarah-chan, relax…" he said, walking casually over to her. "You dun need to be so nervous… around me at least…"
"Pft. You're creepier then the other one…" Elnora muttered, rolling her magenta eyes as she floated past.
Gin frowned, looking at Elnora for a few moments. "You gots a problem with interuptin' people, Miss Elnora." He said flatly, his smile returning as he looked back at Sarah. "Now… what did I wanna talk to you about… Oh, that's right…" he trailed off.
Sarah shifted slightly as Gin took seat on the foot of the bed. She sat straighter, still staring at him. He didn't seem to notice.
"I told Sousuke-taichou that the portal thingies ain't workin'…" he snickered quietly. "Meanin' you get to stay with us until he figures out that I was lyin'…"
The girl gasped, not necessarily thinking that was as great as Gin had made it sound.
"But I'll make ya a deal…" he continued, his smile widening.
Sarah's interest peaked at the man's words. She straightened herself from the corner of the bed, her knees beginning to feel sore from staying in the same position for so long.
Gin continued: "I'll let you go until Sousuke-taichou really needs ya." Sarah's eyes widened. "But…" Elnora narrowed her eyes, suspicion sparking in her mind. "You haft tell Izu about everythin' we discussed here… and what you and Miss Elnora have been doin' all summer long."
The girl immediately leaned forward, her eyes wide with distress. "B-But! No! I can't! He won't understand! He'll think… He'll think…" she trailed off, her emerald gaze cast down at her knees. "He'll think I'm a monster."
The man chuckled quietly. "No. That's only what Miss Elnora said he would think." He replied, his voice calm and knowing. "I know Izu… and I know he ain't gonna care."
Sarah studied Gin's face, looking for any signs of deception. Give it up… he's practically unreadable… Bastard's got one hell of a poker face. Elnora said flatly.
She shook her head a bit. "W-why do you w-want me to t-tell him those t-things…?" she asked, choking slightly on her words.
Gin shrugged gently. "I can't tell you that, silly!" he said, pointing playfully. "It'd ruin it!"
Elnora huffed. "So very mature." She muttered under her breath, her mind silently working over his proposition. "So… you're really gonna let us go?"
He nodded slightly. "I'ma man of my word." He smiled up at Elnora.
"Yeah, and you suck at kidnapping." She replied monotonously.
Gin frowned. "It wasn't a kidnappin'! It was more like… Collective research!" he whined, waving his arms playfully. "I collected the research things and Grimmy and I researched them!"
Sarah and Elnora both wore the same, exasperated expression. It was hard to believe that someone who was so immature, didn't take anything seriously, and, as far as Elnora was concerned, had a speech impediment could have so easily kidnapped them. Well, Sarah at least.
"So… whadaya say?" he asked curiously, standing up from his place on the foot of the bed.
Elnora shrugged. "It doesn't matter to me…" she said, glancing down at Sarah.
She sighed quietly. "I-I'll do it…" she replied timidly, almost regretting her words after she spoke them. But the truth was still that she rather feared Grimmjow, even though now she knew it was still just a hoax.
Gin grinned. "I'll call your escort now…" he snickered, slipping into the other room.
Matsumoto looked frowned deeply, losing sight of Izuru after a while. She sighed heavily, stopping and leaning against a tree. What the hell does Gin have planned…? She silently asked herself, trying to be weary.
A light buzz and a ringing noise emitting from her bra snapped her back into reality. She reached into her shirt with no shame, pulling the small mobile out. She had put it there, figuring it would be the most convenient place to put it… And it would he funny as hell the next time it run in front of her Taichou.
"Hello?" she asked into the small electronic device, not bothering to look at the caller ID before answer.
The voice on the other line was undoubtedly Gin's.
She frowned more. "What do you want?" she asked in a threatening tone. "You have who? You bastard! What do you want-… You want me to come and get her? What the hell? No catch? There is honestly something wrong with you… Y-Yeah… I'm coming…"
"Oi, Foxy… you never really told me how you know that busty chick from the other day…" Grimmjow trailed off, curiously flicking through the channels on the TV.
Gin thought for a moment, reclining back with his feet on the table. "She's special to me… we'll leave it at that." He replied, nodding some…"
Grimmjow cocked a brow, looking up at him. "So you were, like, sweethearts or somethin'?"
Gin shook his head some, chuckling.
"Oh! So you slept with her?"
Yes, I purposely ended it like that… And wanna hear the best part? I'm not gonna tell you Gin's reaction. Why? Cause I'm cruel like that ^.~
