Chapter Fifth teen: Revenge & Forgiveness
*Garganta*
Yoshiro was traveling in garganta headed towards Karakura for the mission. He was headed there along with Luppi, Grimmjow, Yammy and the newest arrancar, Wonderweiss. Technically Ulquiorra was a part of the mission too but he had his own separate job in it all by himself. Yoshiro's team was essentially meant to be a distraction force for Ulquiorra. Perfect as far as Yoshiro was concerned, it just meant it gave all the opportunity he needed to find Kuchiki in Karakura.
"so here's the plan" Yoshiro began "the garganta is going to be spitting us out right on top of the soul reapers. We're going to keep them busy long enough so the Cuatra can do his thing and get Orihime. Me and Grimmjow have our own personal targets to go for while we're here. If there not at initial zone with the other soul reapers, we'll take off to find them. I trust you all will be able to handle things without us. If that winds up being the case, Luppi you have team lead in my absence."
"leave it all to me Quinta, I will take care of everything. These fools can't hope to match my power." Luppi spoke playfully.
"appreciate the enthusiasm Luppi, but they have had a whole month to prepare for our next visit. I highly doubt they have been sitting around doing nothing in that time. Expect them to be stronger compared to before." Yoshiro chimed
"Yes, yes I'll be careful." Retorted the Sexta. Before anyone else could say anything else the garganta opened up into Karakura.
They stepped and surveyed the scene around them. Yoshiro looked down and saw four soul reapers, a bald guy and a guy who looked almost as effeminate as Luppi he didn't know. The last two he knew all too well.
"long time no see, Captain Hitsugaya and Rangiku Matsumoto!" Proclaimed Yoshiro.
Toshiro looked up in shock at what he was seeing. He had hoped the reports he had gotten from the others were wrong, sadly he now had to face the awful truth in front of him. Yoshiro now floated above him as a full-fledged arrancar and Toshiro couldn't help but feel a little guilt that he was partially responsible for it. however he quickly composed himself as he noticed the other arrancar with the former human.
"So we meet once more" Toshiro began "I admit you have me by surprise here all things considered, now I see everything I have heard from the previous reports is all true. I'm sorry for what has happened to you, if I had taken approach to thing perhaps you wouldn't be where you are now."
Yoshiro looked at the snow top for few moments drinking his words in for few moments. He sighed and then replied. "I appreciate the words Hitsugaya, however it's a little late for such things. Plus, I don't blame you for forcing me on this path. I blame the one who original reported me to begin with, I notice she isn't here."
"what do you mean" Toshiro trying to act smoothly
"Don't try to bullshit me Hitsugaya! You know exactly who I am talking about! Where's Rukia Kuchiki!" the blond arrancar yelled back.
"for what purpose do you seek her out for?" the young captain replied
"Simple" Yoshiro retorted "I need to repay her for kicking off the chain of events that essentially ruined my old life here in Karakura." He finished with a growl.
Hitsugaya's eyes went wide a little from the statement, he knew right away what he intended, he also knew that he couldn't allow it to happen. Yoshiro would rip Rukia apart if he managed to get his hands on her. He was able to easily handle Ichigo in bankai form.
"I'm afraid I can't help you there. I'm unsure where she is at the moment." Hitsugaya coldly replied
"No matter, I'll just find Ichigo first then. She'll come running to him soon enough. she likes to stick close to him after all. Let's go Grimmjow." The Quinta stated.
Hitsugaya immediately drew his blade and was about to charge at Yoshiro. When suddenly an effeminate looking arrancar blocked his path.
"now, now no need to worry. You'll have plenty of fun fighting me" Luppi spoke up. "Yoshiro you go on and find your prey, me and the others will keep these fools plenty busy for you."
Yoshiro simply nodded and took off with Grimmjow in tow, Luppi smirked as he saw the look of frustration on the faces of the soul reapers. 'this will be all sorts of fun' Luppi thought to himself.
Yoshiro reached out with pesquisa took loo for his target, he picked up the energy of Ichigo and went towards it. Thankfully Ichigo seemed to be traveling towards them making their job all the easier. A few moments later they ran into each other. Ichigo paused and looked directly the pair of arrancar and chimed.
"so you came back? What are you doing here this time?"
"I'm not here for you this time Ichigo." Retorted Yoshiro "Grimmjow on the other hand here is though."
"just what the hell do you want then?" replied Ichigo
"where's Rukia Kuchiki?"
Ichigo's eyes went wide, he already knew why Yoshiro would want Rukia for and just what he would do to her.
"she isn't here! And even if she was, I wouldn't let you get near her!" yelled Ichigo
"Not your choice strawberry. Grimmjow go beat him around a bit, that will get her running to us I'm sure." Spoke Yoshiro
Ichigo was about move when Grimmjow jump at him drawing his attention. "your fight is with me Kurosaki! I'm going to rip you to little pieces!" he roared.
Yoshiro simply stood back and watched as the fight played out waiting, for his target to hopefully make her appearance. Even with only the one arm Grimmjow was still giving Ichigo a hard time. Kurosaki had certainly gotten stronger since, but he was still not strong enough to outright beat Grimmjow even with the missing arm. Then he suddenly felt a whole new presence coming, he smiled to himself knowing that it was mostly likely the person he had been waiting so much for. Short, black hair and violet eyes. There was no mistaking it, his prey had finally arrived. Before she could even speak, he spoke first.
"Rukia Kuchiki! How nice of you to show up. I've been waiting for you to arrive, not to mention simply find you in general. I have some things I wish to discuss with you." Yoshiro finished a bit darkly.
Rukia looked and saw the blond haired arrancar staring at her with seemingly all the hatred in the world. she suddenly felt worse than when Gin confronted her while she was being held prisoner in soul society. Every instinct in her was telling her to run from the presence of this person in front of her but, she couldn't bring herself to move. Then a voice rang out to bring her out her daze.
"Rukia! Run from here!" yelled Ichigo.
Hearing his words Rukia was about to go and make a move but then Yoshiro appeared before her and gripped her by the throat. She struggled in his grasp powerless to do anything at the moment.
"now, now" he quietly spoke "you're not leaving just yet, I have to settle some business with you first after all. Grimmjow I'm leaving with my prey somewhere else to handle things. I leave Ichigo to you."
Before anyone could say or do anything else, he went away using sonido with Rukia still firmly in his grasp. He stopped once they reached the empty park the night, he awoke his powers. He landed and tossed Rukia on the ground some feet away from him.
Rukia stood up doing her best not to let her fear show, she knew why he would be hateful towards her. He mostly likely blamed her for destroying his life in the human world by being the one who reported him. Still she refused to be intimidated hardening her resolve. She with all the courage she could muster spoke towards the arrancar.
"why is it that who brought me here? What do you want with me? What do you intend to do with me?" she said with authority.
He just merely cast a glare and spiked his spiritual pressure up. It sent shivers down her spine and then he spoke with a low icy laced fury tone.
"I brought you here since I figured it would be fitting seeing how this is where it started, what I want with you is get back at you for ruining everything I once had and I intend to make feel every little bit of the same pain I felt from it all."
Rukia narrowed her eyes and brought her sword out "Dance, Sode no Shirayuki!" she yelled. Her weapon transformed and her entire sword turned completely white with a long white sash at the bottom of it. Yoshiro didn't even so much as scoff at the shikai in front of him. Rukia noticed her opponent didn't seemed fazed at all by her release, it actually annoyed her a little.
"what's the matter? Won't draw your blade against me?" she questioned.
"you don't get the situation your in at all do you?" Yoshiro chimed. Rukia just looked at the arrancar in suspicion as he continued to talk.
"you really think that's going to do you any good here? Let me tell you something really quick. The fact is your hopelessly outgunned by me. You couldn't even handle Grimmjow at all before, hell he could beat you down now as it is with just having one arm. He was the Sexta after all."
"what are you trying to get at?" she asked
"simple woman" he retorted "you see amongst us arrancar the ten strongest are ranked by our power with ten as the lowest and one as the highest. Were known as the espada. Grimmjow was only the sixth ranked amongst us."
Rukia eyebrows shot up a bit in shock from that statement. 'he wasn't even in the top five!? For how powerful he was when I fought him!' Rukia thought to herself. Then Yoshiro simply lifted his head up and turned his neck a bit to show off the stylized five tattooed on the front right side of his neck. Rukia's eyes shot out wide as dinner plates, suddenly she felt a huge sense of dread take over her. "it can't be? Your even stronger than he was?" she choked out.
Yoshiro just smiled a little at her reaction. Then he chimed with a playful tone and smirk. "that's right I am, I'm the Quinta, the fifth ranked espada. Let me tell you another thing too. All espada ranked fifth and up, we were all vasto lord level hollows before becoming arrancar." He finished as he suddenly blared his spirit energy as high as it would go without going resureccion.
The massive release of energy hit Rukia and forced her onto her knees. She could hardly move, hardly breath from the pressure of it. she suddenly realized how completely and utterly screwed she was in this situation. Her opponent was stronger than the blue haired one who one-hit ko'd her before and he was also a vasto lord level being at that. It would take roughly three captain level soul reapers atleast to handle a vasto lord. she was only lieutenant level at best, she was truly outclassed here and knew it.
"someone help me?" She weakly choked out eyes wide with fear.
"don't count it." he sharply replied
Before Rukia cold try to do anything else, she suddenly found her opponents foot in her chest, the air left her lungs immediately from the hit. She went flying back only for Yoshiro to sonido behind her and plant a fist into the square of her back sending her flying forward. He then appeared in front of her and kneed her so hard in her gut it sent her flying upward. This process of beating her around the air like some sort of ping-pong ball continued for a bit before Yoshiro in the air swung the heel of his foot down hard into her chest. She flew and crashed into the ground so hard it left a small crater in it.
Rukia laid on her back in the crater, she couldn't move at all, she was breathing hard and then she suddenly coughed up a good amount of blood that spilled out on the bottom her face and chest. Yoshiro simply hovered in the air above her and put a fist pointed towards her simply spoke "bola". He started firing a rapid number of bolas into the downed soul reaper. Rukia could only take the hits, as her body shook all over from the blast's that slammed her tearing her up.
Once the barrage finished, she was bleeding all over. The crater had become larger, her uniform had been torn apart barely keeping her decent. She proceeded to cough up even more blood then before. Yoshiro appeared next to her picked her up by her hair. He stared a her with cold, merciless eyes and then threw her with all his might across the park. she slammed into a tree breaking it in two, but she kept flying through the air as a ragdoll, slamming into another tree that also broke from the force and she fell to the ground limp. She was barely conscious as it was.
What had remained of the top half her uniform had been torn away from crashing into the trees, leaving her top completely exposed not that she could do anything about it. she could only watch as she laid motionless as her attacker calmly walked towards her. He simply picked her up by her neck and looked at her with the same cold stare. He then drew his blade, but he had no intentions of killing her just yet. He took his blade and ran it across the left side of her face starting from just below her nose up and across her eye to the top of her head.
Rukia howled in pain as she was slashed, she could feel the blood pour from the slash and blood gush from where her now destroyed eye had been. All she could do now was weakly in pain whimper as the broken, bloody wreck she now was. At the complete mercy of the arrancar. He simply looked at her and tossed her to the ground a few yards in front of him. Yoshiro put out his hand with three fingers pointed and started to build a cero. However before he could release the white sphere of energy he was surrounded by a square beam of light. It was negacion, an ability that automatically transported those inside it to hueco mundo with complete protection.
As he traveled up the negacion, he looked down at the broken and whimpering soul reaper. "now we're even." He coldly stated. Then he arrived back in las noches and the portal closed.
With the arrancar having retreated, Hitsugaya had immediately along with the others ran as fast as possible to the area they had felt Yoshiro's and Rukia's spiritual pressure. What they found horrified them all. Rukia was on the ground surrounded by her own blood, beaten and broken. The top half of her clothing was completely destroyed. She had cuts all over, but the worse was her face. She had a long slash running along it, it went across her eye as well. Toshiro felt horrible, that wound was sure to leave a bad scar and her eye was a total loss, he could tell that much. He immediately ordered an emergency medical transport from the living world to 4th division in soul society. Toshiro turned and saw Ichigo just staring at the scene with the most angered look he had ever seen. There was going to be hell to pay for this.
*Las Noches*
Everyone from the mission and the rest of the espada were gathered in the main throne room. Yoshiro stood in the back simply watching as everything went on. Luppi looked beat up and tired from the fighting with all the Shinigami but alive none the less. The same could be said for Grimmjow as well, Yoshiro couldn't help but feel happy about that. Then strode in Ulquiorra with Orihime in tow, the mission had been a success.
Aizen spoke a bit in his usual manner and then called Grimmjow forward and asked Orihime to use her powers on him. Luppi kept running his mouth a bit as everyone was simply watching. Then something happened no one expected. Not only were Grimmjows most recent injuries healed but then his lost arm returned in its entirety, as if it had never been lost to begin with. Yoshiro was in such shock he never even bothered to listen to the rest of Aizen's talking. Then Grimmjow spoke up.
"hey girl, heal this too." He stated showing where his espada tattoo had once been. Yoshiro knew right away where this was probably going, and he didn't like it. once his tattoo was healed, Luppi immediately questioned what Grimmjow was up to. The blue haired arrancar simply smirked and used sonido to get in front of the current Sexta. Before Luppi could react Grimmjow had rammed his arm clean through his chest. Luppi unable to do anything simply called Grimmjow a bastard. Then Grimmjow began to charge a cero before he could release it though Yoshiro stepped in.
Yoshiro moved as fast as he could and grabbed his friends arm and simply told him with a hard look. "don't, you've made your point. Now enough of this nonsense."
"what the hell for? Don't stop me." Grimmjow retorted back.
"shut it!" Yoshiro replied "we've lost enough people to your short sighted decisions. Now, stop the cero and remove your arm at once or do you really want to test my patience Grimmjow? I still haven't forgiven you yet for getting all our friends killed a month ago."
This grabbed the teal haired arrancar's attention. He suddenly had solemn look on his face and then dissipated the cero and removed his arm from Luppi's chest, then walked away.
Luppi fell after having the arm removed no longer having the strength being on the brink of death, with some blood pooling out his mouth. Yoshiro caught him and held him gently. The blond espada looked to Orihime and calmly spoke. "Orihime if you would please before he dies."
Orihime wasn't sure what to think at first but her kind nature won out and used her powers on Luppi. The wound from the attack steadily disappeared ensuring the effeminate arrancar would live to see another day. Luppi was to weak to speak but looked at Yoshiro with eyes of complete shock and dumbfounding. He couldn't believe that the Quinta had stuck himself out like he did to save his skin. He couldn't say a word not even when some low level arrancar workers grabbed him to take him to the medical wing.
After that Aizen ended the meeting but he had one more thing to add before they all departed. "Quinta, I leave Orihime Inoue in your care." Yoshiro simply looked at Aizen and bowed his head in response. "follow me Orihime." He calmly said as he walked past her. Orihime hesitated for a moment and began to follow. As he walked with Orihime, his mother came up beside him. "did you manage to put all your feelings over what has happened over the last year behind you?" she asked
"yeah, I did. It feels like the last of things that had been weighing me down for so long has finally been lifted off of me. However now there's one more thing I need to do. I need to go apologize to Emilou." He said with some sadness in his voice.
"go and apologize to her. I will take care of the prisoner." She replied. Yoshiro merely nodded his head and sped off ahead. Halibel then turned and motioned the young human girl to follow her.
Yoshiro reached the wing of las noches he lived in and entered it. he saw his fraccion along with Mila and Sung-sun. he quickly waved at them as he walked towards the room, he shared with Emilou. He paused at the door, suddenly hesitating.
"Kit, you need to apologize to your mate." Spoke Zorro's
"I know I do, I just…. What the hell am I even supposed to say to her? After how I terrified her. Do I even have a right to say anything to her at this point?" he mentally replied.
"it's as your mother said kit. you've recognized you wronged her and now you must pay. do what must be done to earn her forgiveness. You must speak with her no matter how difficult you may find it to be. If you simply allow this shadow to hang around you. It will serve to cause a further rift between the two of you.
"your right, I just need man up and handle this. I just have to hope she'll be willing to forgive me for my stupidity."
"don't fret kit, you two have gone through worse than this I believe. You must be genuine and heartfelt in your apology and hope that by doing so all will be well." Zorro's said with calmness and wisdom
Yoshiro closed his eyes, let out a huge sigh and then lightly knocked on the door. A simple grunt was the only reply he got to indicate Emilou was in the room. He gripped the doorknob, opened the door and walked in, closing it behind him. Emilou was laying on the bed dressed in her uniform just looking up and the ceiling, she brought her head up to look at who had just entered. Noticing it was Yoshiro, she closed her eyes for a moment before sitting up on the bed. An awkward silence lingered for a moment, then Yoshiro spoke up first.
"Emilou…" he began softly "I know that words may not be enough to correct the awful mistake earlier when I snapped at you. I…I never meant to scare you like I did, even if I was under a lot of stress about everything at the time. That doesn't excuse the way I acted to you. I never wanted to do anything to hurt you. I fucking hated myself the moment I realized what happened. I should've been more open about everything that's been weighing on me for so long. Instead of letting it build up inside me. I don't know if anything I'm saying or if there's anything I can truly say or do. to have you see that I truly am sorry for all this. If you can't forgive me….I can understand." He finished almost hoarsely.
The was nothing but silence for a while, Yoshiro took it as a cue to leave, he began to make a move for the door. "wait" Emilou spoke up, he turned to her and she looked directly at him. "come and sit next to me you, dumbass." Yoshiro walked over and sat next to her. "Emilou.." he began but was cutoff.
"Just shut the fuck up and listen ok?" she began, Yoshiro obliged. "look I get that you didn't mean to snap and scare me like you did. I know that you've had a lot of stuff locked up inside you over all that's happened since you got kidnapped. Grimmjows stupid stunt that got all your friends killed on top of finally finding out who the soul reaper you've been looking for is. Everything was finally starting to boil over. Perhaps me and the others should have been more proactive in trying to get you to open up before it ever reached that point. The fact is you fucked up and realized you fucked up and you nutted up and apologized for it. plus I can tell you really are genuine in your apology. Look sometimes couples go through a rough stretch here and there, for whatever reason. It's simply the nature of how relationships work. This was ours and now it's over, so lets' focus on moving forward from this." She finished with a caring tone.
"I feel like your forgiving me too easily here. I honestly don't think I deserve you as a girlfriend anymore." He retorted looking down.
"Yoshiro look at me" replied Emilou. He did as he was told and before he could say anything.
*SLAP* his head turned left
*SLAP* his head turned right
"let get one thing fucking clear here. Me and only me will be the one to decide that you're no longer deserving of me as your girlfriend ok?" she chimed
Yoshiro just sat there wide eyed and shock, his mind not quite sure how to respond at the moment. Thankfully he didn't have to as Emilou leaned over, wrapped her arms around him and pulled him into her embrace. He just wrapped his arm around her in response and they sat like that together in silence, enjoying each, others embrace. Then they separated and smiled at each other.
"Good now that's all behind us. How did your mission with the others go?" she asked.
"you know about that?" he replied.
"yes I do. after you left Lady Halibel had a moment to tell me about the hallway incident and about the mission you were going on and so on. So did you find the soul reaper you were looking for." She questioned
"yeah I did." Yoshiro replied and told her what exactly had happened in Karakura.
"god damn you really wrecked her ha!" Emilou spoke up. "she had it coming to her after how she started everything that ruined what you had in Karakura. She probably going to be terrified of you for the rest of her life."
"More than likely, I'm just glad that business is finally behind me. I feel like I can finally focus so much better on the here and now of things." Yoshiro retorted
"yeah, like what's this I her about you and Luppi flirting with each other?" Emilou spoke with a mischievous tone. Yoshiro suddenly went red in the face and looked horrified.
"well…I….you see….ummmmm" he tried to speak but failed miserably.
Emilou just started laughing. "ha ha ha, kami relax. It's not a big deal it was only some playful flirting. It's not like you slept with him without me knowing."
That snapped Yoshiro out of his dazed shock. "hold up. You are saying that as long as I told you ahead of time and you gave approval, you'd be ok with it. I know we have an open relationship policy but still even if it's with another guy?"
She just nodded her head in response.
"you're not even a little bit taken back about me being bi-sexual? I've never told you or anyone really now that I think about it. I just sort of let it slip out when I was talking to Luppi."
"Not a big deal, I had suspicions anyways, I noticed some of the looks you gave a few guys here and there. Though I will admit the fact that Luppi has the kind of looks you like in a guy. I honestly always kind of figured it would have been Grimmjow."
"he's simply not to my taste in that kind of regard."
"so you like tomgirls huh? I'll make note of that."
"your being way to accepting of all this I feel."
"umm hello? I'm bi-sexual too remember? Speaking of which I'm still waiting on the twins to come around." She said matter of fact like.
Yoshiro just started to chuckle at that proclamation. "kami, never let me forget how amazing of a person/girlfriend you are."
"as if I ever would." She cheekily said and pulled Yoshiro close to her and gave a deep kiss. He returned the favor but before things could get to heated there was a knock at the door.
"God dammit this had better be good." Spoke Yoshiro. Yang's voice rang out from behind the door. "I'm sorry to intrude but an individual named Luppi is here to see you Yoshiro."
"What would he be here to see you for exactly?" Emilou asked a bit coyly.
"probably because I saved his skin from Grimmjow." He replied.
"what?" Yoshiro then explained what had happened once they all returned from the mission. "he's probably here to thank you and proclaim his love for you, since you saved his life." Emilou playfully said.
"you've been reading too much manga; real life doesn't work that simply." He retorted.
"yeah well if he does let's totally make this a polyamory relationship! I'm totally down for it! it would be fun!" she excitedly proclaimed.
Yoshiro just stared at his girlfriend with an incredulous look. "your being completely serious right, now aren't you?" he asked
"guilty as charged." She said with a smirk
Yoshiro just shook his head "eh, fuck it why not? I'm always up for interesting new things. I'm off to talk to him." He retorted as he opened the door and left. He walked into the main living area. He noticed Luppi was standing in the middle of the room. He looked a little ruff still but better than before none the less. Yoshiro simply gestured him to follow to the balcony where they could speak more privately. Once they were out there, Yoshiro closed the door so someone couldn't try to eavesdrop on the conversation.
"so what can I do you for?" Yoshiro simply said.
"you know why I am here Quinta." Luppi retorted "you saved my life from that bastard Grimmjow. I came to thank you for that."
"Grimm was going off on one of his short sighted, impulsive decisions trying to kill you. You didn't deserve it, so I stepped in." he calmly said
"regardless of your reasoning, thank you for saving me. Dying like that would have been an awful thing." Luppi replied.
"there's a non-awful way to die?" Yoshiro replied jokingly. They both chuckled at that.
"you should also know; I've decided to step down from the espada since I've lost my rank as Sexta." Luppi chimed
"why step down, you could have stayed in and taken the Septima rank." Yoshiro questioned.
"it wouldn't be the same. Presides there's a reason for me wanting to do so."
"that being?"
"I'm stepping down so I may serve you as one of your fraccion. Consider it my way of repaying the life debt I owe you." Luppi said with firmness.
Yoshiro looked at the effeminate arrancar for a moment thinking to himself about this development. "I'm not gonna talk you out of this am i?" he asked. Luppi simply shook his head in response. "very well, Luppi Antenor. I accept you as one my fraccion."
Luppi put a smile on his face. "thank you, Quinta I promise to serve you well. Now there's one more piece of business I need to address as well."
"and what pray tell is that?" questioned the blond arrancar as he leaned up against the balcony railing, looking up at the sky without a care in the world.
Luppi just put a playful smirk on his face, walked to Yoshiro, grabbed him by his face and before Yoshiro could react at all, pressed his lips firmly against Yoshiro's. Yoshiro was caught off guard by the sudden action as his eyes went wide but ultimately decided to just let it happen. While Yoshiro had never actually kissed anyone except for Emilou, let alone another guy. He had to admit he liked it, granted it helped that for all intent and purpose's Luppi was a damn good kisser. This kept on for a few moments before they broke away from each other their tongues untwining from each other as they did.
They both looked at each other red faced from the exchange, Luppi gave coy smirk and chimed. "consider that the other part of my means of paying my debt to you."
"you know, I kind of expected that but I'm still kind of blown away a bit by it actually happening. I have to ask was that because I saved you or also because you've always had a thing for me by chance?" Yoshiro replied
"both in all truthfulness" Luppi retorted "I've always had an eye on you since you first showed up in las noches but I've never been felt like ready to act on how felt until now. Nearly dying showed me that I should get some things off my chest, one never knows when their time could come. So I figured I didn't want any regrets whenever my time could be."
"can't argue with that logic I suppose" spoke a female voice. Both male arrancar looked to see Emilou standing in the doorway with smirk on her face. Luppi looked pale in the face realizing he might actually die today after all. Thankfully Emilou put his worries at ease.
"don't worry so much, I'm more ok with this than you think. In fact I've been wanting change the dynamics of things a bit anyways and I think this is just what I've been searching for." She said playfully.
Luppi catching the meaning of her words decided to test the waters. "just in what manner do you intend to do so?" he asked.
"simple, lets' have a three way relationship. Me and you will agree to share Yoshiro in a manner of speaking." She chimed
Luppi thought about it for a moment and quickly came to the conclusion that this was going to be his best chance. "I can agree to these terms."
"Excellent, lets' shake on it then." She said extending her hand, Luppi reached out with his and they shook finalizing their agreement. Yoshiro who was still a bit in shock from Emilou's sudden appearance, snapped out of his daze. "what a sec, what the fuck just happened?" he wondered out loud.
"isn't it obvious my dear Quinta?" pipped Luppi
"you now have a girlfriend and a boyfriend. So be sure to treat us good." Proclaimed Emilou.
Yoshiro had the look of a goldfish on his face, still trying process that this was a thing that was actually happening. Emilou simply walked over and planted a kiss on his lips, Luppi then did the same.
"come on lets' head inside." Spoke Emilou
Yoshiro just shook his head a bit a sighed. "never a dull moment in my life it would seem."
"would you prefer your life to be dull?" retorted Luppi
"no, not really. The boredom would drive me crazy in all likelihood." The blond arrancar said. With that settled Emilou wrapped one arm around one of Yoshiro's and Luppi did the same on the other side. Then proceed to walk back inside together. As they entered the main living area where everyone was at reactions varied a bit.
The twins, along with Mila had their jaws practically fall through the floor at the sight. Orihime was now there dressed in an arrancar style uniform. She gasped in surprise at the sight apparently trying to register it in her head. His mother simply looked at him with raised eyebrows and cocked her head to the side a bit, like she was trying to decipher some sort of code. Sung-sun who was standing right next to her simply gave an approving wink and wrapped an arm around Halibel's waist. This seemed to snap her out of her inquisitive state, she straightened her head and simply gave her own nod of understanding towards the trio, as she wrapped an arm of her own around Sung-sun's waist.
'yep never a dull moment in my life it seems.' He thought to himself 'I wouldn't want it any other way too.'
