A.N.: In a dark, haunted crypt in the cellar of an ancient castle, our haunted host arises from his ornate coffin, fog rising around him. "Greetings once again, my children!" Count Whackula climbs out of his coffin, popping his bones back into place. "Ugh, that's going to be feeling funny the rest of the night…"

"Once again we come across the month of October, of spooks and haunts and saucy witches. And once again Whackybiscuit has given us some new Halloween-themed stories based on the world of Bleach. Now, during last year's anthology, many of you gave suggestions for future stories." Count Whackula's face soured. "Some of you clearly didn't get the spirit of this anthology, my children."

"Having said that, there was one standout idea that was repeated by many. A story that our dear writer was more than happy to give us…" Reaching into his coffin, our undead host withdrew a book and blew the dust off the cover. "Tonight's first Tale from the Whacky Crypt will be a special one for you, the fans. A tale where an aquatic-themed Arrancar finds a fellow creature of the deep. I was going to call this one The Shape of Halibel's Ass, but I'm classier than that. I present to you, my children…

A Shark in the Black Lagoon

Several Weeks after the Quincy War…
Karakura Town; Kisuke's Home

Kisuke sipped his tea quietly, sitting in his dining room. He felt around for the sugar, hoping that Yoruichi didn't pull another prank and swapped the sugar for salt. The shopkeeper's eyes were still bandaged, having undergone surgery to replace the eyes lost during battle with the Sternritter, Askin Nak La Varr. His Bankai had restored his sight but it'd been a temporary fix. Thus, he was forced to rely on Isane and Hanataro's surgical skills in order to get his eyes back.

A hand pushed the jar of sugar closer to him. "Here."

Gripping it, Kisuke gave his houseguest a smile before he opened it and added the sugar to his tea. "Thanks, Halibel. I'll be glad when I can take these bandages off."

"Just be grateful that you'll be able to see eventually. Very few Arrancars had the ability to regenerate lost eyes once lost." The Arrancar sat quietly across the table, sipping her own cup of tea while inside a Gigai. She was dressed in some of Yoruichi's clothes, an old black shirt and shorts that showed off way too much thighs.

"True. But my own ailments will heal with time. How are you holding up?'

The Hollow Queen was silent for a moment, looking down at herself and remembering all she'd went through. "I'm adequate. That will do for now."

The reason Halibel was at Kisuke's home was because during the aftermath of Yhwach's defeat, Grimmjow and Neliel recovered her from the Quincy King's dungeon before Squad Zero dealt with his Wahrwelt. Neliel took her to Kisuke for recovery and he placed her in a special Gigai to help her slowly regain her strength, letting her stay here until she was well enough to go back to Hueco Mundo.

If Halibel was being honest, she rather enjoyed her time with Kisuke and his company. They were a far more pleasant bunch to be around than the Hollows and Arrancars of Hueco Mundo. And though she missed the Tres Bestia, who ruled in her absence, it was nice to get away from their constant bickering for a while.

The door opened and Yoruichi stepped in. She had clearly gotten out of the shower with her hair still wet and her body wrapped in a fluffy white bathrobe. "Hey, Halibel. I noticed you had a bag packed in your room. Are you leaving already?"

"Not quite. I'm simply going somewhere for a little vacation."

The werecat raised an eyebrow. Her lips formed a knowing smirk. "From the way you packed a few swimsuits, I imagine you're going to soak up some sun?"

"A bit. I need a little me-time."

Smiling, Kisuke spoke up while reaching around for the teapot. "I offered Halibel use of my old cabin at the lagoon up north. You remember? The one I made as a backup hideout when we were on the run? I stocked it up and turned it into a vacation home after we dealt with Aizen."

"Hmm…" Yoruichi tapped her chin and thought about it. "Oh right! Now I remember!" She gave Halibel a concerned look though. "Will you be alright by yourself? The lagoon is an awful ways away from Karakura Town."

Halibel merely waved her concern away. "I'll be fine. If there's any trouble I can leave the Gigai with that glove you let me borrow. And if I need you I'll use a Garganta to head right here. Besides, I have Kisuke's number if I run out of anything." The woman got up and headed for the door. "I'd better get back to packing. I'll see you all later."

Yoruichi waited for Halibel to leave before she turned back to Kisuke, the look of concern still on her face. "Uh…Kisuke? Wasn't that lagoon the one you used as a dumping ground for all of your failed experiments over the past century?"

Kisuke merely shrugged while he poured himself another cup of tea. "Please, Yoruichi. I'm a professional. Everything I dumped into that lagoon was long dead. I mean, what're the odds that one of them survived?"

The next day…
Lagoon

Halibel walked out onto the shore of the lagoon, watching a small river of water coming from a nearby mountaintop feed into it. She smiled while letting the sun shine down on her dark skin. The Arrancar was dressed in a skimpy bikini loaned to her by Yoruichi. The house Kisuke had built nearby was quite cozy and perfect for a private getaway. She could see why Kisuke chose this place as his hideaway. With the mountain nearby and a verdant forest surrounding the lagoon, it was conveniently isolated from the rest of the world.

Looking around and seeing nobody and hearing nothing but the sound of birds and bugs, Halibel decided to bare it all before nature. "No point in covering up if there's nobody to be modest to," she said before taking off her bikini, tossing the garments onto a nearby lawn chair.

Had there been any men nearby, they would have suffered severe nosebleeds at the sight of Halibel in all her glory. With her Gigai lacking her Hollow hole and mask fragment, her breasts were on full display. She had a chest that could rival the luscious Rangiku Matsumoto, her dark nipples glistening in the morning sunlight. Her body was fit and toned, with beautiful legs and wide thighs leading up to her shaved pussy.

"Ahhh…" Halibel smiled while she soaked up the sun. "That feels so much better!"

Even as she said though, something didn't quite feel right. She didn't see anyone around the lagoon who could spot her. And she didn't feel any presences with her spiritual senses. Despite all that…

'Why do I get the feeling that I'm being watched?'

She ignored the feeling. The Sternritter were all gone, save for Uryu who had no quarrel with her. With Aizen sealed away the Soul Reapers had no reason to hunt her, especially after Grimmjow and Nel helped save the Soul Society. And if someone did intend to do her harm, she'd recovered enough of her strength to be more than a match for them.

The naked beauty walked into the lagoon, feeling the crystal clear water surround her body. Sighing in relaxation, Halibel dove into the water and started swimming.

However, what she didn't realize was that her intuition had been correct. Someone had been watching her. Or rather, something.

Deep at the bottom of the lagoon, a creature watched the naked Halibel from down below. Amphibious by Kisuke's design, the creature was humanoid, covered in green scales that blended in with the seaweeds and other plants that littered the lagoon's floor. Its webbed hands and feet sported fierce claws. Undetectable by Halibel's senses, the creature stared up at Halibel with its fishy eyes, the creature's gills twitching while it breathed.

The creature had been one of Kisuke's ill-fated specimens, lingering at the lagoon for over a century. Codenamed Gill-Man, it'd been an experiment of Kisuke's in genetically engineering different creatures DNA. Gill-Man was part human, part fish, part reptile…and just a tiny bit Hollow.

And it was very much a male specimen.

Staring up at the swimming Halibel, Gill-Man felt a craving swell within him. The shapely beauty was something he'd never seen before, all alone living in the lagoon, surrounded by the bones of its dead fellow experiments. And sensing that this woman was Hollow, he felt a strange kinship with her.

But more to the point, Halibel awakened the male side of Gill-Man and he wanted her. He wanted her to stay in the lagoon with him.

He wanted to breed her.

Swimming upward, the stealthy creature aimed straight for the naked swimming babe as his erection began to grow…

Halibel elegantly swam in the lagoon, feeling perfectly at ease. She turned around and began to float on her back, staring up at the blue sky. Part of her was starting to miss the Tres Bestia, despite their constant arguing. She wasn't used to it being so quiet. "Mmmh…I'll go and sunbathe a little. Maybe I'll drop a line to Yoruichi and see if she wants to join-"

Out of nowhere, a clawed, webbed, green hand reached out of the water and grabbed her by her waist, pulling her underwater. Halibel gasped before she was pulled under the surface of the water. Thanks to her aquatic powers she could see clearly underwater. When she saw what'd grabbed her, she almost screamed in horror.

The sight of the Gill-Man was unlike anything Halibel had ever witnessed in her long life, even during her days as a Vasto Lorde. 'What…what in the world is this thing?!' The creature was covered in green scales, its red eyes staring at her hungrily. At first she thought it was something that wanted to eat her. Then she noticed its massive manhood and realized what it wanted.

Halibel moved to punch the creature in the face. The water's buoyancy, however, slowed her arm long enough for the green creature to grab her wrist. Drawing nearer, the fish creature growled through the water before its hands slipped lower. Halibel tried to push the monster away but its sharp claws dug into her meaty asscheeks. Realizing what it was about to do she tried to swim up towards the surface but it was too late.

"Guh!" Halibel's eyes went wide when the creature's cock slid into her pussy. Despite the coldblooded nature of the creature, his manhood was remarkably hot, its heat permeating through her pussy while he began to fuck her. Struggling to hold her breath, Halibel struggled against the creature's tight grip. However, the woman realized just how the big and long the creature really was as he began to move.

Halibel tried to push herself out of her Gigai but she couldn't concentrate hard enough. The intimate angle of the underwater fucking let the Gill-Man's cock slide deep into her honeypot. She clenched her teeth when she felt the thick, warm length grind against her sweet spots. 'What…is this…creature? Can't…break…free! It's…fucking me so hard!'

Helpless, Halibel put her hands on the creature's shoulders. It soon became impossible for her to fight back against the pleasure that ramrodded her pussy while trying to hold her breath. She didn't want to admit that the creature was fucking her so good. Part of her hoped that the creature had simply spiked the water with some form of aphrodisiac. Regardless of the reason, before she knew it she was climaxing hard.

"Ahhhhh!" Halibel screamed through the water, using up what oxygen she had left. Her pussy tightened around the throbbing member sliding in and out of her and suddenly she felt a hot wetness fill her womanhood.

Darkness shrouded her vision as she lost consciousness, the creature pulling out of Halibel and taking her away through the water…

Hours later…

Halibel opened her eyes and quickly sat up, coughing up whatever water remained in her lungs. 'Me, the master of water, almost drowning. How disgraceful…'

Looking around, she found herself inside a dark underwater cave. The only light came from the water at the other side of the cave that led back out to the lagoon. "Where…am I?" The naked woman lay on a large smooth stone, alone in the underwater cave.

Then she heard a bestial growl and realized that she wasn't alone.

Hopping off, the woman found the Gill-Man shambling out of the shadows towards her. Halibel cursed. She'd left the glove needed to push herself out of her Gigai with the rest of her clothes. The creature was clearly strong, both physically and spiritually. "What the hell are you?" she asked.

It became clear by the guttural growl that came from the green scaled creature that it wasn't capable of intelligent speech. Halibel mentally cursed. The creature stood between her and the exit.

Not willing to be a helpless damsel, Halibel threw a punch at the creature. But in a Gigai she only had the strength of a normal woman and the creature's hard scales blunted the strike. Growling with anger, the creature grabbed Halibel. The Arrancar gasped when he grabbed her throat and hauled her up into the air. The wind was knocked out of her as the creature slammed her up against the wall. Gill-Man let go of Halibel's throat and began to admire the woman's naked body up close.

Halibel's fears came true when the creature put a webbed hand on her breast, feeling her soft tit. "Guh! No…" Her eyes widened at the sight of the creature's manhood beginning to emerge, aroused once more. She struggled against the inhuman creature but was once again pressed against the wall. The green creature growled lustfully into Halibel's face before he slid his member back inside her.

"Ah!" Halibel gasped as her womanhood was filled by monster cock. Without the buoyancy of water slowing it down, the creature was able to fuck the dark-skinned woman with its full strength. Halibel struggled to control herself as the creature claimed her. "Nghhh!" She closed her eyes and fought back the moans as best she could. The creature was easily the biggest man who fucked her and he was hitting all her sweet spots. Her ears burned from the erotic sounds her pussy was making. "So…big! Nghh!"

Her arms wrapped around the creatures shoulders. The move pulled her closer to the creature. Her breasts pushed against the creature's chest. Dark nipples, hardened by the cave's cold, rubbed into his hard scales. The creature licked her neck with his cold tongue, making Halibel groan more.

The hard cock sliding in and out of Halibel's cunt kept hitting her sweet spots. Still sensitive from the last time the Gill-Man tried to breed her, Halibel could feel her lower half heating up. "Stop…you're…going to make me cum…" she begged.

The green experiment didn't stop. He merely began fucking her even harder. Halibel couldn't fight back the moans that echoed throughout the cave. Despite her best efforts, she could feel her body about to give. "Ah! I'm…cumming!" Her vision blurred and her toes curled. "Guuh!" Her pussy squirted around the creature's cock.

Feeling Halibel climax and watching her face twist with unwanted ecstasy, the Gill-Man growled pleasurably and pulled the woman away from the wall. He lifted the Arrancar up, letting Halibel wrap her legs around his waist.

"Oh! Ah! Nghh!" Sweat dripped down Halibel's back. The creature felt like an inhuman sex machine. Feeling her climax simply made him fuck her faster. "Ohhhh!" She clung to him as he pounded her pussy. Her moans were silenced however, when the creature pressed his fishy lips against hers. Halibel's eyes went wide as its cold tongue mingled with hers but she could no longer resist him. "Mmmmhh…"

Out of nowhere the creature pulled its tongue out of Halibel's mouth and let out a feral growl. He pushed his manhood as deep as he could go, the tip nuzzling against the door to her womb. Once again Halibel felt his seed flow into her and the feeling made her mind melt. "Oooohhh…" This time she was the one who started the kiss, not caring anymore that she was getting fucked by some disgusting fish creature. This thing was the best lay she'd ever had in her life and she didn't want it to stop.

Gill-Man pulled out of Halibel and set her down on her feet. With shaking legs the woman walked back over to the large stone bed and bent over, wiggling her ass in front of the creature, cum dripping down her slit. "Okay, you beast. Come show me what you've got."

A wide grin stretched across her face when the beast mounted her, fucking her hard and fast doggy-style. It was a fitting position for them both. The cave continued to fill with moans and growls while Halibel fornicated with the creature. Her ass shook as it smacked the Gill-Man's hips. His hands gripped her waist, his claws digging into her fair skin but she ignored it. Before she knew it she was climaxing again. "Ah! Ahhhhhh!" This time she screamed with joyous ecstasy. The creature reached for her breasts and pulled her backwards against his chest. "Yes! Fuck me! Fuck me, you beast!"

Halibel didn't know how long it took for the green creature to cum. It felt like hours, a roller coaster of pleasure that never seemed to stop. By the time he did release, they'd switched positions. Halibel lay on her back, pinned to the stone bed with her legs hanging in the air as the creature lay on top of her. The Gill-Man had brought her to climax so many times Halibel was in a world of her own. Their tongues intertwined as she took in the creature's lustful growl. Her eyes rolled backwards as she felt that familiar wet heat burn her womb. As the creature pulled out she saw so much cum spill out of her. "Pregnant…" she panted, a little bit of fear returning to her eyes. "I must be pregnant by now."

Then she heard his growl and looked up.

The creature from the lagoon was still hard. It still wanted to breed with her.

Somehow, Halibel knew there would be no doubt she would be carrying the creature's child within her…

The End

A.N.: "And so our story ends with Halibel learning an important lesson: there's always something lurking in the dark. And that a shark is not the only predator of the deep…"Count Whackula closes his book and stood up. "Until next time, my children. Our tales have only begun and the night is so very young." Our fanged host walked towards the stairs of the cellar and opened the door. He headed down the hallway towards his private library. But first he stopped by the kitchen to get a bottle of root beer…
