...
"Well. That worked," I shrugged, sheathing my blade.
"What did you do?" Shunsui questioned blankly, his gaze locked onto the bodies on the sea of sand. The two crash sites being the only areas to automatically revert, the rest of the sea of water still slowly transforming back.
Instead of answering, I immediately flash stepped beside one of the prone Espada. My hands swiping the blade beside him and without skipping a beat flash stepping back.
Urahara gave me an incredulous look.
"Souvenir," I smiled.
He slowly turned his gaze to the two clearly vastly more powerful hollows. Honestly? I'd been a little worried when Ulquiorra started twisting space like a Rubik's Cube. Before turning back towards me, a confused expression overs face.
"Huh..."
"Kisuke?" I questioned bemusedly, eyeing the far off expression on his face.
"Yes, Sosuke?"
I blinked at the response, turning my head towards Yoruichi. Finding a gobsmacked expression on her face as she stared at Urahara.
"Well then," I shrugged again, turning back towards Shunsui. "I locked him out," I answered his earlier question.
"Out of what?" Shunsui immediately replied, entirely undeterred by Urahara's state.
I vaguely gestured to the air around us.
"Anyway, we really need to leave, I don't know ho-" And thankfully I didn't even need to finish before everyone remembered that we were in fact still in hollow territory. Urahara immediately got to work, taking out some kind of device made of...
"Are those hollow masks?" I questioned, utterly baffled.
Urahara didn't answer, instead choosing to switch whatever thing he'd managed to come up with online. The space before it fracturing quickly as some kind of portal formed.
The four of us watched, a mixture of different expressions in place. Soi-fon showed indifference, though she'd probably been in that mood ever since finding out Yoruichi was technically free. I am presuming from Shunsui. I doubted she'd be this calm otherwise... Shunsui had genuine interest going through his own as he watched on. Yoruichi's was oddly enough the hardest to read... Either that or she really just wasn't surprised.
Before I could comment on any of that, nor the rather sizeable hole in space, I tensed the moment I felt the reiatsu wash over. The others on my heels as we all watched the previously transforming sea of water halt in it's tracks. The transformations in progress freezing and locking in place.
On the ground, surrounding the two still unconscious Espada was a veritable clearing of sand, at the edge of which currently stood a still wall of water.
"Leaving so soon?" A voice echoed out, right above the two prone Espada.
I sighed, my eyes twitching at the sight of Josh Groban.
And just as I was about to retort to that, the others decided to show themselves as well. I watched as towards the corner edge of one of Harribels previous walls of water, the rest of the Espada slowly appeared out of thin air. All different expressions showing through. Some filled with dread, some with awe and a few with indifference.
And by few, I mean Grimmjow and Nel.
Though the best face had to go to Grantz. The tattoo'd Espada had something akin to Enel face going on.
Naturally on sight of the number of enemies, I turned a single look over towards Shunsui and did the most sensible thing I could think of.
I unattached Yoruichi's security rope and handed it over to Soi-fon, earning a surprised look from the captain.
"I am afraid none of you are ready for this," I remarked, Shunsui immediately tensing, the man's reiatsu flaring before I watched, almost unsurprised, as Aizen got to work on Shunsui's senses, peaking each sense until the man's eyes rolled to the back of his head as I grabbed onto his falling body before throwing him through the portal and with a burst of reiatsu, immediately pushing Soi-fon and Yoruichi through without so much as a by your leave.
Kisuke?
Kisuke walked through himself the first chance he got.
"Now then-" I started, my hand immediately tensing even as a bloodshot Ulquiorra grabbed onto his blade just beside me. An absolutely livid expression on his face.
Naturally, I immediately smacked him over the head with my own zanpakuto, his head not so much as budging, and gave him a disappointed look.
"Don't be a poor loser now, I won this fair and square-"
"Ulquiorra," Josh Groban's voice caused me to jump as he suddenly appeared by the bat's side. "You had your chance, now stop-"
"The fights not over!" Ulquiorra snapped, his hand tightening as he made to pull before I smacked him on the head again, earning a growl.
"What part of that fights not over?" I questioned darkly, my hand not budging the slightest from his sword. "I stoppedyour attack," He winced. I took a small step forward. "I knocked you the fuck-"
Though alas, Josh Grobans seems to have clearly learned from his lesson as he immediately raised his guns towards bothof our heads. Ulquiorra's eyes widening as a horrified look filtered through. The espada immediately letting go of his ownblade as he made to take a few steps back, behind Groban.
"Apologies," Ulquiorra remarked glumly, his eyes locked to the ground, his teeth grinding as he spoke.
Josh Groban lowered one hand, his gaze locking onto me. "Enough of your manipulations."
I blinked.
"Is the pot calling-" I crouched, dodging the shot of reiatsu, a grin on my face.
Josh Groban's eyes narrowed as he slowly lowered his gun, locking onto me again. "You are oddly energetic, given that you are surrounded."
"Mhm," I nodded, to give him that point.
Josh Groban's eyes narrowed, "You cannot possibly think you can take on this many of my Espada..."
"Want to find out?" I continued smiling, my hands lazily sprawled over my kneecaps. One blade on each hand.
"Lord Groban allow me-"
"Ulquiorra. You've already had your go," Josh Groban started, only for me to interrupt him. My mind oddly filtering away the Espada choosing to stay back, huddling in a group of sorts in the process. Grimmjow, Nel and Harribel of all hollows. Odd considering the recent attempts to kill me.
"So have you. That's three of the Espada I am counting," I chuckled straightening myself up, eyeing the slowly approaching Espada.
"Do I hear four?"
...
Josh Groban's eye wouldn't budge me from, one hand raised, immediately putting a stop to the approaching espada. I could vaguely hear one or two release a sigh at the fact.
"No, I believe there's a much better solution for you," He stated derisively.
I blinked, holding back the urge to cross my arms, given the swords. "You're going to surrender?"
The espada twitched the slightest at my words, a gleam appearing in his eye momentarily. "No, I am going to give you an ultimatum."
I hummed, raising a single eyebrow at the word, not entirely certain as to why but for some odd reason... I wanted to laugh.
"And just to make certain you understand what's at stake-" Josh Groban briefly eyed the fidgeting bat beside him.
"I'd like some-"
"-I'll execute Nel here and now, should you decide to refuse to cooperate," Josh Groban immediately interrupted myinterruption. His words registering a moment later as silence filled the open clearing. The only sound to fill it being the rush of waves. Ulquiorra's fidgeting immediately stopping as his eyes widened.
Josh Groban had a satisfied smirk on his face at my own response. My smile disappearing as my eyes narrowed.
"Good, that seems to have finally gotten your attention." Josh Groban continued, his arms crossing, his two guns clanking against each other. "You've got two options-"
"Are you serious?" I questioned him, interrupting him, a passive expression on my face. His lone eye immediately narrowed, his smile straining as he took a second to respond... with a snarl.
"Do you want to find out?"
I tilted my head at him, finally noticing I wasn't in fact wearing Aizen's glasses... Funnily enough I couldn't quite remember when that had happened.. Sighing once, I locked gazes with him. "Just making sure," I shrugged.
Josh Groban eyed me warily, his teeth grinding against each other, the wind whistling by us as no one made any sound. Ulquiorra, been the only one in my line of sight, was currently glaring at me to obey.
"You will obviously surrender." He started, his mouth loosening the slightest when I didn't react. "Grantz will have a cellmade just for you,"
"Keep my name out of this!" A voice echoed out, the tattoo'd espada currently even further away in the air then Nel'sgroup.
Josh Groban didn't react to Grantz while I struggled keeping my expression passive. Instead the man lowered his gaze towards Ulquiorra's blade for a moment.
"You will hand over that Zanpakuto-"
"Oh poor Ulquiorra can't get it himself?" I immediately snarked, catching him by surprise. His head immediately snapping towards Ulquiorra the moment we all felt the reiatsu that suddenly filled the clearing at my words. "Control yourself." Josh Groban ordered calmly.
The wave of reiatsu disappeared as quickly as it came.
Still, I'd missed his following expression, my body reacting as soon as I'd made to move, if not before as Ulquiorra's sword left my hand, darting forward. I watched, a smirk slowly growing on my face, the blade sail. Josh Groban's face, practically in slow motion, as he turned back towards me.
Just in time too.
Ulquiorra's pointy end quickly found itself going through the man's eyepatch rather cleanly.
I watched, fascinated as a hole surrounding the disintegrating eyepatch quickly appeared on the man's twitching face, his rapidly worsening expression disappearing as his body grew blue. Quickly breaking down into millions of shards of reiatsu. Two guns quickly falling into the open sea in his wake.
When all eyes landed on me, all but Ulquiorra as the Espada immediately flew after his arcing blade, I raised both hands. One hand showing two fingers, as it still held my sword, with nothing on the other.
"I guess that makes it two to none?"
But damn, even I couldn't believe that had worked as well as it did... Ulquiorra's Zanpakuto didn't slow down the slightest, even as it hit Groban's head-
Said espada however quickly took me by surprise as he suddenly flashed back into existence. A furious expression on his face.
I idly noted the fact he didn't have a single scar, nor any gun on him. Unlike the last two I'd taken out, his body this time pulsed with power.
I gave him a big beaming smile. "Cool, so about that cell-"
"You think-" Ulquiorra appeared in the background, right next to Grantz for that matter, a frightened expression on his face as he quickly started whispering with the other. "-you're funny!?" Josh Groban continued without skipping a beat, likely not even noticing the others.
I, on the other hand, gave him a shit-eating grin. "I wasn't trying to be funny, I was trying to get you to come out of your little wardrobe-" I side-stepped the incoming blast of cero, generated by the man's chin. My blade raised to intercept the new sword made of reiatsu in his right hand, the two blades locking as I pushed my weight onto it, the espada doing the same, gritting his teeth in the process. "And look at that! Finally proud enough to show your real-" I raised my sword, hitting the rapidly burning hilt onto Josh Groban's wrist earning a snarl of pain out of him, Aizen's warning signs of the forbidden technique paying off. I pulled my head back, my body following, the moment the reiatsu sword dissipated. Josh Groban minutely leaned away from me as more of my reiatsu blasted out of my left foot, propelling it to meet the espada's face as I completed a full turn, my arms crossing each other above my chest as the sword glinted beside my face at eye level. Reiatsu slowly covered Kyoka Suigetsu from hilt to the point of the blade. Josh Groban's body slowing down in it's ascent further into the air as a widened eye slowly gazed back down, his head straining as he forced it back down to face me. The man ignoring the blood dripping down his chin, my reiatsu propelled kick doing more than I'd expected, as he stretched out both of his hands.
Aizen's words, somehow unlike his earlier attempts to communicate, filtered through at the right moment. Though the sudden reiatsu drain quickly explained why this was the first time I'd heard him in this realm...
"Hadō #32. Ōkasen," My voice almost seemed to amplify itself as the wave of built up yellow reiatsu quickly expanded, firing in a wide horizontal line, covering the entire top half of Groban's body.
The sudden explosion covered the two of us in a cloud of smoke as Josh Groban's grunt made itself known. I felt my reiatsu pour out, quickly clearing my line of sight of smoke, showing off the startled Espada, having been pushed back quite the distance from the blast. Most of his entire top-half scorched, his body smoking as eyed the shaking arm he'd covered most of his face with. His gaze quickly turning back to me.
"...How..." His voice was barely a whisper, "How did that do so much..." The espada however seemed to snap out of his daze as the anger from earlier returned. He raised his other hand, one free of any scars and pointed it towards me. I watched, my grin long gone as reiatsu started building up. The sheer sudden pressure quickly eliminating any sign of the earlier smoke as the wind's speed exponentially increased. Whatever hadn't burnt nor scorched from my previous attack fluttered.
"... Well? No funny quips this time?" Groban questioned, a slowly growing grin on his face as a manic gleam entered his eyes. "You know what happens if you dodge this don't you?"
Nel get's it.
Context really does wonders. Go figure.
I closed my eyes, a sigh coming out. The action quickly stopping whatever rant Josh had been on, the wind pressure worsening as the cero build up accelerated.
"So be it-"
"I want Nel to deal with my food." I remarked, calmly, when I reopened my eyes. My gaze immediately locking onto the large ball of chaotic energy, barely held at bay just before Josh Groban's hand. His fist no longer pointing, instead fully open. "All of it-" Josh groan's face slowly turned a different shade as he copied my earlier act. His eye closing as a vein appeared on his head. "-I want the best quality, and-" I turned around, my gaze locking onto the tattoo'd espada in the distance, giving Groban my back. "If my cell is in anyway, remotely uncomfortable, I will be-"
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!? WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!?" Josh Groban's animalistic roar immediately caused me to wince. My eyes momentarily shutting as a groan escaped my lips. My body on the other hand automatically turned on it's feet once again facing the Espada and the much larger ball of energy. Which was somehow compressing, slowly getting smaller by the second...
"Not so loud! Bloody hell," I of course, naturally replied, fully done with the situation. As if being in this world wasn't bad enough, having my eardrums burst is not what I need added on!
Josh Groban, on the other hand, glared and promptly straightened his hand and-
"Coyote Starrk! What's the matter with you! Have you no manners at all!?" I continued, indifferent.
Missed entirely, his hand changing directions at the last second as dread filled his face. The atmosphere quickly turned for the worse as some of the other espada, having heard everything, paled. And honestly with the sheer amount of fear in the air, I don't even know which espada it was coming from!
And on seeing all this, seeing the way Josh Groban mutely stared back in open horror, his body slowly backing away.
I locked gazes with him and nodded once.
"I, think I'll start with dessert today, have Nel bring me some ice cream, I'll be in my cell," I waved a single hand and started making my way towards Grantz, my mind idly wondering if accessing the internet was at all possible in Huaco Mundo.
...
...
I whistled, a small grin blossoming on my face as I eyed my 'cell.'
I quickly stepped inside. Eagerly taking in all the features I'd requested of my tour guide. Somewhat surprised he'd stopped fidgeting, instead choosing to stand just outside the entrance, a blank look on his tattoo'd face.
"I can't believe you actually walked in," He deadpanned.
I ignored him, instead busying myself with the mini dragon tank. It leaned more on the size of a lizard, rather then anything actually dangerous. Grantz hadn't been kidding when he said he could recreate anything I wanted. I turned a look towards him, eyeing the frown on his face. He was currently stood, still outside the perimeter, staring down at a tablet of sorts.
"What the hell..?" I considered asking him what was wrong before my eyes caught onto another advancement I'd requested.
A honest-to-god hoverboard!
Yeah, I realised how stupid of an idea it was after I'd requested it. Still-
"Oi." Grantz's called out, my focus quickly turning back to him and-
I blinked at the sight of the vein on his forehead, a strained smile on his face. "How are you doing that?"
"Doing what?"
He twitched again, a sigh escaping his mouth, as he turned his screen towards me. From here it looked like some kind of 2d arcade game... There was a single long blue line travelling through a sea of red dots?
"There are seventeen reiatsu suppressors in this room," He twitched, eyeing the indifferent look on my face. "None of them are working on you..."
I processed the words for a moment before shrugging and turning back towards the game-station in front of me, idly noting the stack of games to the side. Stack of blank cases for that matter. Evidently all I need to do to start one of them was break the casing. There wasn't a screen or anything to play off. Not that Grantz didn't know what an actual video game was... In fact he literally mentioned it as a hobby when I'd asked him.
I just didn't want to think about what would... Interest him.
Still, even as I picked up one of the cases, I could hear him mutter in the background. His tone almost baffled.
"Boss's just multi-shots it's way through... Final boss's teleports through... Psycho boss-"
I quickly raised my head, blinking rapidly as I turned towards Grantz. "- just destroys the suppressors..." He raised his head, easily ignoring the expression on my face, and continued.
"Your one dodges... How are you doing that?"
I waved a hand, "Forget about that, what's this I hear about three bosses?"
Grantz blinked.
"You mean you don't know?" He questioned abruptly, his device disappearing into thin air.
I tilted my head. "Know what?"
His expression turned passive, a chill filling the air. "Wait... If you're not here about that... Then why did you come to Huaco Mundo?"
I took a second to process the question, "I don't know, seemed like a good idea at the time. Truthfully speaking, I am probably safer here."
He twitched, a strained smile reappearing on his face.
"I am sorry, but did you just say safer?"
I nodded.
"Who could poss-"
"
Santa Claus." I answered pre-emptively.
He stared at me, pure disbelief appearing on his face. "Right... Wait-" His expression shifted again, the disbelief turning into worry. "So Boss says you're from the future, or you know the future..."
Which ones 'Boss' again?
"Right." I agreed, urging the espada to continue.
"Do you know what we plan to do?"
"What do you plan to do?"
"... I am obviously not going to tell you."
"Then yeah, I know what you're going to do."
Grantz's head tilted the slightest before rapidly snapping back, a passive expression going over his face as he searched mine.
"No, I can't do it, I don't know what the hell ya thinking," He remarked frustrated, turned around on the spot and ran. And by ran I mean he teleported.
I briefly took a quick look around before sighing the moment Aizen's signal went through and promptly dashed towards the mini dragon tank. Grantz had given me a quick guide on how to use it, and all of the features. My gaze snapped towards the enlarge button.
Now I know it obviously wasn't an actual dragon. But what it was, was a large manifestation of reiatsu. In fact, out of everything in the cell, it probably had the largest concentration.
Which meant it would likely make... The biggest door? Gateway? I dunno'... this is why Aizen generally kept me up with the details. Which was a little difficult right now. But at least I didn't have to do the hard part.
I put my open palm over the tank, feeling the reiatsu flow through it before I felt my own hum in the air. The tank glew up like a light bulb-
I briefly stumbled backwards as a screen suddenly popped out of thin air. One demanding a password.
-Admin Privileges required-
"..." I stared at the password screen, my stomach twisting for a moment. I wasn't sure if Grantz had or would even notice-
"Screw it," I muttered and typed up the first thing that popped into my head. And the only thing for that matter. I didn't know the guy, like at all. Didn't pay attention to him during the show either.
So imagine my surprise to see the password get accepted without issue.
"...I can't believe he made his resurrection his password..." I couldn't help the words as I sighed, before walking through the suddenly generated gate.
Destination?
Psycho bo- I am kidding, of course.
I watched as the shadows swirled round me, the other side coming into view almost immediately.
The real destination? Aizen-
I froze on my feet, the smile on my face straining as my breath hitched and took in the blank clearing, naught but a single tree in sight.
Finally, that damned pressure's gone. I was not enjoying my-
Aizen's voice of course went ignored, my focus on the two individuals in the distance.
What are you... Oh.
Yeah. Oh. So either you actually set the destination to... Knowing my luck... Psycho boss.
Of course not.
Aizen didn't even seem offended, his own worry overtaking his ego for once. Not that I could blame him.
Great, so you definitely set it for-
Yes.
Perfect.
I took in a deep breath- Momentarily choking on the toxic air, visibly shuddering as I quickly flash stepped to the two hollows. Said two immediately perking up the moment they caught sight of me. The wolf rising on all four legs as it jumped to the cloaked, head covered as well for that matter though I certainly didn't see the point, fun-sized espada's side.
"So. Which one of you's psycho and which ones got my Hogyoku,"
That's when I realised the cloaked figure wasn't Starrk's partner. Gingerback.
Because I am sure as hell, she didn't have a-
"Heilig Pfeil!" The cloaked midget suddenly roared, a red glint filling up the shadows covering it's face, it's hands outstretched towards me.
...
...
...
I tilted my head, the reishi arrow missing entirely as it shot past. The cloaked Quincy? merely lowered both hands, the bow dissipating entirely as the red glint dimmed down the slightest.
"He's- uhh Caliberating! That's the word!" The wolf barked out from the side.
I blinked as I cleared the non-existent dust on my shoulder. "And that is?" The question earning a surprised look- How the hell can you even tell!? The internal question earned a sniff from Aizen.
"Hmm," The wolf squinted it's eyes. "Logging you in?" It remarked, it's head bobbing up the slightest. "No wait, locking onto you! That's the one!" I stiffened the moment I realised the arrow from earlier was still going on, not so much as leaning in any direction. The empty expanse insured nothing could get in the way. The reishi building the arrow up on the other hand increasing as it went on-
"Headshot," The creepy mini Quincy suddenly remarked. A low voice coming out.
I watched the arrow disappear in the distance- My body automatically stiffiening as time seemed to freeze, my gaze going in every direction before my head, at the last moment, snapped to the left. The arrow nicking my cheek, cue immense bitching pain, as it shot past and-
Right into the midget's cloaked face.
And if not for the searing pain surrounding what I presume is going to be a scar-
How are you so calm about this!? Aizen's voice screeched into my head, the sense of pain intensifying for whatever reason. What was that arrow made off!?
I briefly shook my head, the pain somewhat dying down as I felt my reiatsu hum, before focusing my gaze back on the-
"How the fuck did you do that!?" The wolf barked out, a panicked look on his face as he swapped gazes between me and the unconscious Quincy. The Quincy's cloak having been ripped apart by the blast. My eyes briefly widening at the sight of a hollow mask, similar to Ulquiorra's, on the edge of it's head, along with what suspiciously looked like a hollow hole just below it's neck. There was shocked expression on it's face. "That should've been a head shot," The wolf growled out- My brain only now realising it's voice was likely telepathic, given the closed mouth. I briefly looked over the unrecognisable as far as I knew, hollow-masked quincy.
The dark-skin, nor short dark hair not helping much.
"It was." I shrugged. "Should've clarified who got the headshot." I guessed.
The wolf blinked once, one paw coming up to it's face. "Idiot..."
I nodded, crossing my arms. "Now, back to my Hogyoku-"
I held in the sigh at the sound of another low growl as the strange dwarf slowly got back up, it's body covered in a brand new cloak, it's hands immediately going back into it's earlier stance.
"I won't miss again..." It snarled, his eyes glinting red as a bow and arrow quickly came into existence. A line of white sharp teeth showing through the clearly magical shadowed hood.
"Heilig Pfei-" Was as far as it got this time, the arrow disappearing into thin air the moment the dwarf let go of the bow's string. A startled look filling the creature's face, it's earlier aura disappearing entirely as it briefly stumbled backwards.
"What did you do?" It questioned warily, the bow dissipating as it lowered it's hands, quickly turning them into fists.
What did you do? I passed the question along- The answer quickly causing a grin to grow on my face. The hybrid, on seeing said smile, promptly took another step back. The wolf beside him copying as it got to all fours.
I watched, almost delighted with the answer, as dread quickly built on the hybrid in front of me. The wolf beside it gulpingas Josh Groban's reiatsu filled the clearing. Ulquiorra's itself momentarily appearing alongside him before disappearing entirely. Though the distinctive lack of Aizen speak probably meant he was still around.
Regardless, I pointed towards Boss hollow's intended entrance point.
Josh Groban materialised with a thundering roar, a livid and absolutely baffled expression on his face. His hands formed into fists, his teeth grinding together. His face colouring in so many shades.
Honestly. There was so much 'What?' showing through his face he looked like he'd seen the devil and found out he had a part-time job at a fast-food restaurant.
I idly noted the scorch mark currently replacing his distinctive eyepiece.
"Eye spy with my little something beginning with three."
"How did you get in here..?" He questioned in turn, for a moment looking like he had no intention of truly answering my question. A little rude if you asked me...
"Grantz." I could feel it, as I spoke, my connection to the realm disappearing as Grantz presumably removed my admin privileges.
Josh Groban blinked, surprised at the answer. Or the fact I answered, before his eyes narrowed.
"He brought you here himself!?" He snapped at me, earning a startled jump from his companions.
"...Sure. Now my question to you is..." I drawled out the words, earning another narrowed look out of the Groban. Though there was a certain curiosity in his eye. Pure interest showing through as he fixed his posture the slightest.
"What's it like having swords and shafts shot at your face?"
Josh Groban gave me one more look over, sighed and raised a single hand. Though admittedly halting at the sight of me doing the same.
"IF you don't want to answer that, I have a more serious one for you." I remarked, my smile disappearing as I locked gazes with him. Josh Groban's eye meeting my own.
For whatever reason, he was entertaining me... As if he was in fact waiting for something from me... But couldn't bring it up himself?
"Well?" He demanded after a moment of silence.
"Oh right," I faked a cough, earning a twitch. "So you can turn your guns into clones of yourself right." I started off with a statement, the hollow not saying anything as it waited.
"In that case, hypothetically speaking of course!" The hollow started twitching, Josh Groban's eyes slowly closing as an irritated expression replaced his calm, without a doubt knowing where I was headed with this but just the same stillhopeful it's... something else.
"Can you fuc-
He promptly kicked me out, not even letting me finish, of what I now realise was his inner realm and back into my cell. Which admittedly was a bit of an overreaction.
I mean it was only a question.
...
-20 minutes later-
I stared. My frown openly showing as I eyed the fidgeting, green-haired, Espada. I'll admit, there truly weren't many things that could really surprise me anymore. But sending Nel in to interrogate Aizen Sosuke was definitely one.
"They sent you to interrogate me?"
"No one else wanted to do it,"
I wasn't sure what to make of that, regardless I shrugged and promptly turned back to watching the tv screen. Nel joining me without skipping a beat.
"You really shouldn't play his games," She suddenly remarked, grabbing onto her own pack of popcorn.
I fully agreed. Who knows? They could actually be fun. Then I'd definitely be screwed.
"Say Nel,"
"Hm?" She questioned through a mouthful of popcorn, her eyes blinking as she turned towards me.
"How do you feel about kidnapping a midget?" We should probably take the wolf as well... Just in case. Nothing to do with Shunsui. Nothing at all.
Nel, for the first time since I've met her, frowned.
"We really shouldn't..."
