Soon Orihime had finished her shopping with finally going back to Little China to pick up a decorative sword for Nnoitra's wall, ($10,000) and was now sitting outside on a bench, staring at the large lake that was in the middle of the World Showcase. "Okie… I have… Six presents for Ulquiorra… Two for Tia… one for Nnoitra…two things for Szayel. Thought he might like something from Little Britain and a whole mass of… various toys for Aaroniero. How odd. Oh well! I'm not paying for it!"
Ichigo threw himself in the water.
If he died, he didn't have to pay!
"What do you think she's up to?" Ulquiorra asked Grimmjow the tenth time that day. The Espada were all taking a hour break in the kitchen before they all went to sleep.
"I have no idea." Grimmjow said, throwing the dice onto the board that was lit by the Purple/Pink light of the Leg Lamp. "But who ever left us with only Monopoly is going to die."
"Too bad." Szayel muttered across the board. "Azien's already dead. And all the other games were tossed out the window."
"Why?!" Aaroniero screamed. He couldn't take it! He hated this game! "I don't wanna pay income tax!"
"You don't have to." Szayel pointed to the square on the board. "You can just pay $200."
"But I don't have $200!"
"So," Szayel suddenly picked up the board and with a swift movement, threw the game out the open window. "You all want to do something else?"
"Why don't we watch a movie?" Grimmjow suggested, knowing it would take everyone's minds off of Orihime's absence. "Or not." He corrected himself as he remembered that Tia ordered the electricity only be used for needed things.
"We could tell stories…" Ulquiorra suggested, only to hear a chorus of 'boo'es'.
"Or," Nnoitra began, a wide grin creeping across his face, the pink glow of the leg lamp making everybody shiver. "We could play hide and go seek."
"….Really?" Szayel snorted. "That's a stupid idea."
"Well, do you have any better ideas?!"
"Why don't we just to to sleep?" Szayel said and heard a chorus of yawns due to the mire suggestion. "I am correct. So, I shall be leaving all who can see in the dark with the Lamp Leg and going to my room." He got out of his chair and swiped the lamp off the table and marched out of the room.
"It's such a pain." Nnoitra said as he ran after him down the hallway. "Aaroniero, Ulquiorra and Grimmjow can all see in the dark. And what can we see? Nothing."
"I know…" Szayel handed him the leg lamp to carry. "It doesn't really work out does it?"
"Not at all.." Nnoitra wished he could use soindo, but he did not want to risk running into something he couldn't see. "Are we there yet?"
Szayel laughed. "No. Not yet. We are not even out of the main-here's the door and…"
"WOW!" Nnoitra gasped as the bright light of the moon lit up the world beyond Los Noches. "Why don't we pound some windows into this stupid ass fortress?!"
"That is a good idea. Aizen was an idiot who only put two windows in this whole place."
"Yeah…" Nnoitra hated the sand in Hueco Mundo. Why? He just did. Or maybe it was because little hollows kept trying to bite his toes off. "But what really makes me confused is WHY Aaroniero was still here today. Wasn't he supposed to go pick up the order of water?"
"Yes." Szayel sighed and wrapped his hands around Nnoitra's waist. "But Tia forgot that it would take a good three days to get that much water to an Island nation. Anyhow, I know you've been wanting to talk to me all day… is something troubling you?"
"Not really…But I have been wondering if I would invalidating your rant the other day if I asked if you wanted to sleep with me tonight."
Szayel smiled. "Oh, Nnoitra. You're so funny. I was just telling Grimmjow off for all the weird thoughts that float around in that empty head of his! And so, in reply to your very interesting and entertaining question. Yes."
Author's note: Poor Ichigo's wallet. On another note, the next chapter is not what you would think. As I have said before, the romance will not go above a PG-13 level. So, no. I have scarse internet for the time being and will update as soon as possible. Thanks for reading, everyone!
