Yylfordt gently knocked on Grimmjow's door having left Szayel ten minutes ago where Yylfordt was sure Nnoitra was getting the lecture of his life. "Grimmjow, are you awake?"

The door swung open to reveal a very tired, messy-haired and yet wide awake, ready for action, Grimmjow. "Yes?" He asked. "What is it? And the title is, 'your highness."

Yylfordt sighed and corrected himself. "Anyhow, I wanted to come tell you not to be alarmed by any screaming you hear-"

"Because Szayel is chewing out Nnoitra. Yeah, yeah… I hear it. And damn can he scream or what?"

"I know…" Yylfordt agreed, hoping no one sixth-sense was around to hear it. "He screams louder than I am when I'm mad. Sure, I win on any normal day, but…Yeah…anyhow, I apologized to Szayel and I kinda committed hotel vandalism."

"Damn it, Yylfordt, what have you been doing all night?!" Grimmjow cried, throwing his hands into the air. "Eating Continental Breakfast? Spray-painting? Changing keys?"

"No, no, just broke down a door."

Grimmjow sighed and leaned on the doorframe of his room, rather annoyed with his Fraccion. "Yylfordt… How many times do I have to tell you: 'When you set off to do something illegal, do something REALLY illegal!' Don't just kick in A door. Do ALL of the doors. Like this." Grimmjow marched across the hallway and smashed in the door of the room across from his own. "And then!" He turned and walked down the hallway to the left. "The NEXT door! Where, much to your luck, like in this room, you find someone changing! Then! See this? You pick up their clothes and run for it! Mwahahaha!"

Yylfordt sighed and trailed after his master. "Grimmjow, my king. Please stop kicking in doors and… I'm not good at this as this was Erad's job, but please, tell me what is going on?"

"You want to know what's going on?" Grimmjow kicked in another door and instantly regretted doing so as he found Ulquiorra behind it. "Well, I'll tell you. I called Soul Society and thanks to Nelliel and you, they aren't going to help us. And my dear Tia has been beat up and in so much pain, it makes me want to cry. You know I hate crying, because it's like my face is raining on me! And Ulquiorra, what the hell are you wearing a night-cap for?"

"For this." The First Espada took the cap off to reveal a set of headphones underneath. "Between all the screaming I have heard going on, I thought it would be best to just put on music and get some sleep. Although, it isn't easy, Orihime being in Japan at her friend Tatsuki's house with Aaroniero at the moment. But… I am so tired, I no longer care."

"Well, good for you!" Grimmjow yelled in his face, wanting to wipe the stupid smirk off Ulquiorra's face. "I am jus-"

"You're just starting to calm down." Yylfordt said, grabbing his master's arm. "Am I right? I understand your frustration and… I can try to talk to Soul Society for you. As for Tia, why don't you go glue yourself by her bedside while I make the call?"

Grimmjow's fist uncurled went back to his side."You'd… do that?"

"Yeah." Yylfordt smiled a little as a pair of very tired blue eyes met his own. "I'm full of surprises. Besides, De Roy isn't here to yell at them in his good 'ol Scottish way. Awe… I still miss them. Anyhow, let us walk back down the hallway to your room…Open the door and…you sit down in this chair. And I…push it up to Tia's bedside and…there?"

Grimmjow set his feet on the bed and smiled up at his Fraccion. "Yep. Good. Thanks. Now, go call and get things sorted out and don't be afraid to cuss-em out."

"No worries." Yylfordt sometimes wished that someone else was there to help him, but it was okay. His friends had died valiantly. "Now, sit back and relax. Talk to Tia or something. She needs company."

Grimmjow nodded and Yylfordt took the phone on the nightstand next to the king bed, headed into the hallway. He wasn't sure what the number for Soul Society was, so he had to guess. He leaned back on the hotel door and dialed: 1-800-HollowBusters. Why? Have no idea. And oh, look. It worked.

"Hello?" A hesitant voice picked up the phone. "This is Kitsura Mikusho of the Fifth Division, how may I help you?"

"Hi…" Yylfordt wasn't sure where to start, but decided it were best to just ask for the one person that might listen to the situation. "Can I speak with Captain Kenpachi, please?" Better than trying to talk to anyone else. At least he seemed to have some honor of sort; and how I know this? Is it because he didn't hunt me down or try to kill me. Hell, he even let me in his company for a while.

"Um… The captain's rather busy, who is this?"

"Um…It's a friend?"

"No, no." The Soul Reaper laughed. "I need a name.'

"Oh." Yylfordt sighed and readjusted the phone on his shoulder. "Just tell him that Yylfordt Granz would like to talk with him. I am sure that he will remember who I am. And tell him it's urgent and a moment of his time would be really appreciated."

"Uh…huh. I don't take messages. I'll just put you through, something-san."

"Thanks." Yylfordt smiled a little and waited while the operator sent him to the Eleventh Company. Sadly, the moment the person picked up the phone, he wanted to hang up. "Well…Hi. Ikkaku-san."

"…Hello? Do I know you?" The Soul Reaper asked.

"Yeah. Can I talk to Kenpachi?"

"Wh…why?"

"It's rather urgent and I need to talk to him now." Yylfordt really did not want to talk with his former friend at the moment, not having it in his heart to apologize anymore this evening. "Please?"

"Who is this?"

"Just…" Damn it! What am I going to say? Aw, shit. "This is Yylfordt Granz, loyal Fraccion to His Majesty, Grimmjow, the king of Heuco Mundo. I wish to speak with your capti-Ikkaku! Don't hang up! Plea-"

"Why shouldn't I?" The Soul Reaper demanded angrily. "You're a monster."

"Yeah. I know." Yylfordt shot back. "Don't care. We need to forget about that little detail now. I need to talk to Kenpachi."

"Why? So you can get your place back in our non-hollow company?"

"No." Yylfordt wasn't even going to try. "Hueco Mundo was taken over and it's just too long to expla-Ikkaku, you know Nel, right?"

"Yeah? She disappeared with you when you broke out of jail."

"She took over Heuco Mundo."

Ikakku laughed. "What? That's…you're lying! Little-"

"Yeah. Little Nel. Came marching into Las Noches and demanded the throne. It's a long story. Can I just explain it to Kenpachi-san?"

"No. Explain it to me first and then I will tell him if it is worth my time."

"Okay." Yylfordt was willing to give it a shot. "Let's do it the simple way. 1. Nelliel is the former Third Espada who became…banished from Las Noches. 2. She is an Evil Bitch. Or so I hear. 3. She came back for revenge and now, Las Noches is hers and we are all going crazy over here."

"In Las Noches?"

"No, Ikakku, we're somewhere else."

"And where is Yumichika?"

"Where is…Oh… shit. We left him there."

"WHAT?!"

Yylfordt moved the phone away from his ear. "Yeah, sorry. But he's smart. Anyway, please, please, please can I just… Talk to Kenpachi?"

"Why do you want to talk to my captain after you left Yumi in Hueco Mundo and lied to us?!"

"Ikkaku, I didn't-" Yylfordt paused as he felt his younger brother's Reiatsu dim as if- "Listen here. I need to talk to him okay? My little brother's upset and I don't have all day."

"What? Is he going to bash your head in? I thought you hated him and wanted him dead."

"No. He… " Yylfordt paused, hoping that no one else could tell for Szayel sake, "Something… Horrible just happened… I know it. Please. Have a heart. Something that I… I didn't know I had."

The Fraccion listened to silence on the other end while trying his best to fight the urge to hang up and find Szayel, feeling his reiatsu continued to shrink.

"Hey." Yylfordt finally said. "Are you there?"

"Yes?" Ikkaku replied.

"Aren't you getting Kenpachi?"

"…Yes. I sent Hanngan to go get him. It'll be a minute. And only a minute. Because that's all I owe you."

"Owe me for what?"

"We had a fun time together hunting hollows and your Queen took care of Yumichika until she abandoned him, leaving him with the enemy."

"Ikkaku…" Yylfordt sighed, reaching up to fix a piece of his own blonde hair. "Thank you. And if it makes you feel better, he still has his sword there with him."

"…He does?"

"Yes. He does. And he has the Hyogyku if I remember right."

"What?!" Ikkaku screamed in Yylfordt's ear again. "He has what?!"

"The magic blue stone that turned me into an Arancarr." Yylfordt replied, not sure if it were a good thing that Nelliel could find it, but it were too late to go and get it. "Yeah, the one Aizen-baka had. Anyhow, is Kenpachi here yet?

"Yes, here he is."

"Hello?" Kenpachi asked, figuring it had to be really important for a hollow of all things to call Soul Society. "Granz?"

"Yes, that's me." Yylfordt was so glad to hear the scary captain's voice. "I am calling on behalf of Tia Harribel to inform you that Hueco Mundo has been taken over by Nelliel Tu Odelschwank. I was not there for the battle, however, I am calling to plead for Soul Society's assistance in the matter as my King Grimmjow, has not been successful in securing aid to our cause."

"Um…Very well put." Kenpachi didn't know what half those words meant, but it sounded important. "But tell us again, WHY I should ask Yamamoto to help you?"

"Because." Yylfordt began, not sure what to say to the question. "I don't know the details, but… Hueco Mundo is my home. Just as Soul Society is yours and leaving Hueco Mundo in Nelliel's hands means no negotiations of our kind and yours. And what is worse, The Espada will have to live in the human world and… they get hungry, you know. And that's not the point, but what I want to say is that, if you help us, we will come to a fair negotiations with Soul Society so we can live in peace."

Kenpachi nodded. "I like that… but… Yamamoto isn't thinking the same way we are."

"What do you mean?"

"He's making moves to wipe Heuco Mundo back to a white canvas."

"What?!" Yylfordt cried, realizing that, that, "but he can't!"

"But he can. He's Old Man Yamamoto. I don't really think it's right, but… whatever."

"Whatever?" Yylfordt couldn't believe it. "That's what you think?! It's my home! I…I cannot let it be wiped a-"

"Hey, calm down…" Kenpachi sighed, kinda knowing what was going on in Blondie's head. "I didn't say I agree. And I don't. There needs to be a balance between us. I mean, if there are no Hollows, there are no Soul Reapers. The place works like that. So, yeah. I'll talk with you about some kind of deal."

"But first," Yylfordt said, "How…how soon is this plan going into action?"

"The clean up?"

"Yes!"

"A few days… It was just presented today as we learned that Harribel was kicked off her throne."

"Phew…" Yylfordt began to breathe again."Thank goodness. Then we have some time. And… do you want to talk to my king, Grimmjow? He was there at the time and I thin-"

"Yeah. Put him on."

"Okay, just a second." Yylfordt stood and walked back into the hotel room where he found Grimmjow talking to Tia. "Um… sir." He held out the phone. "It's Soul Society. Captain Kenpachi."

Grimmjow glanced up at his Fraccion. Was he serious?

Yylfordt nodded and handed it to his king. "And he wants to talk to you." He added as Grimmjow put the phone to his ear. "And I have to leave now. Sorry."

"Think nothing of it, Yylfordt. Thanks."

The Fraccion nodded and left the room as Grimmjow began talking with the Soul Reaper Captain.


Auhtor's note: Hello all. Am I sorry that this chapter has taken so long to be posted. I am feeling the 'end of story blues' where I know the end of the story is near and I don't want to write because I love this story so much I don't want it to end. But don't worry. I will write and I WILL finish. (I am still wondering what I should use as a Bonus Chapter). Thank you so much for reading and in the Roleplay Forum I run, (A Roleplay of Apathy and Other Sins), we could really use some more players in the Bleach Roleplay. The link to the Forum is on my profile page.

And Timothy, if you get to this chapter, I would like to thank you so much for reading along. The Yogurt comment in New Order has to be THE BEST review I have ever read. You have to tell me how it turns out!
