It was odd watching Grimmjow paint. Not that he hadn't seen the bluenette paint many times before but he had never seen him work with a live subject, the man preferred working from pictures and his imagination. Silence had surprised him, actually complying with his every command the bluenette gave her without a word of complaint. She didn't seem like the type to take orders very well. Nnoitra stood walking over to Grimmjow, curious to see what he'd done so far. The painting was breath-taking, the background was black with Silence the main attraction. One hand wrapped around her waist she was looking over her shoulder, a big scar marring her back from her left shoulder to the middle of her back. Her right was covered by a large white wing, the thing that captured his attention the most was the sad look on her face. It was different from the blank mask she wore all the time, he'd seen almost all of Silence's matches but he'd never seen her look sad. When he looked at her, her features didn't mirror that of the painting, once again they were blank.
"Wow, Grimm this is amazing," the raven whispered, in total awe of his friends talent.
"I can't believe you managed to imagine such an expression on her." Grimmjow snorted, shoving Nnoitra aside so he could continue in peace.
"Fuck off, I can only paint what I've seen," he growled, kicking out at Nnoitra's side, the lanky man going down easily. Silence started laughing, both of them paused in their attack to listen to the sound. It was a beautiful sound, light and airy. The sound of it sent new idea's running through his mind that he hadn't thought possible because he didn't believe that she could smile at all. She had a nice smile.
"The fuck are ya laughing at?" Nnoitra grumbled his pride hurt from being beaten by the both of them so easily. He prides himself on not going down easily, it hurt worse since Grimmjow who knew nothing about fighting but could knock him on his ass easily. She said nothing, refusing to answer him but the smile was still there, if only slightly.
"Give it up Nnoi. I've a gallery showing in a month or so, not far from here and I'm gonna be using as much of newer stuff as possible. Ya good with that?" He asked. She chewed her lip, actually thinking over what he was saying. Ichigo didn't care about his displaying the paintings, this was a completely different city from the pervious one she and Shiro had once resided in but there was that fear at the back of her mind that someone would recognise her face. It had already happened once, Menoly knew who the twins were. It was the reason why Shiro had almost killed her during the fight. The girl had threatened to spill the beans and she had panicked, ready to kill in order to keep their secrets. Grimmjow sighed when he saw the hesitation on her face. He smiled slightly, a little disappointed he wouldn't be able to show off his new pieces to the public just yet.
"It's okay, Don't worry about. Plenty of other shit I can use," he muttered. She jumped at his words, having forgotten where she was for the moment.
"No, no it's fine, use them Grimm. It just reminded me of something I have to do," she muttered, hurriedly throwing on her shirt and bra. She completely forgotten about her match that was on. Tonight. Before darting out the door Ichigo threw an envelope at Grimmjow, muttering that she'd be back next week, slamming the door shut behind her before either of them could even blink.
"Well what'd she give ya? A love letter?" Nnoitra asked teasingly, his smile almost splitting his face in two. He quickly tore the envelope open, curious about the contents. What could she possible give him? Silence was a model for him nothing more, unless she liked him. He smirked at the thought with a snort of disbelief, shaking his head he tipped the contents out the envelope and onto his lap. They were tickets to a fight. A fight between her and Rain.
Kisuke was worried for his daughters, a fight between the two would be gruesome and a lot of blood would be spilt but it meant the girls wouldn't have to hold back, they could go all out with each other. After they'd moved back in with Yoruichi and him, he had only seen them fight once, though it was only a warm up between the two it sent him cold with fear. The two stood in the ring now, waiting for the match to begin, the warehouse was already packed to the gills with people. Word had gotten round, it seemed that the people who had seen Shiro's début match were eager to watch her tear up another opponent in the ring, when word got that the fighters were twins it drove the excitement up to a new level. Hanataro stood off to the side shacking in fear, the warehouse had fallen completely silent seconds ago, the only thing to be heard was a soft warning growl emanating from Shiro. He placed a hand on the boy's shoulder, his infamous fan covering an uneasy smile as he pushed the boy forward into the crowd. He shouldered his way through slowly, apologising with every step before he made it to the ring side. Climbing the side of the barrier he clutched the wire tightly, not at all willing to start-up the match from the centre of the ring.
"And now for the fight you've all been waiting for. Tonight we have two sisters facing off. In the right corner our new champ SILENT DEATH and in the left in her first match after her ill-fated début BLOOD RAIN. Now the rules are no weapons, no substances and anything goes, LETS FIGHT!" Grimmjow pushed to front of the crowd with Nnoitra, growling at annoying who tried to pick a fight with him, just making in time to hear the mc announce the match. The girls crouched down low, looking more animal than human. Rain muttered something, he hadn't a clue what was said but it made Silence smile. Her grin so demented and feral it sent shivers down his spine. It happened in a flash, all of a sudden Rain darted across the ring tackling Silence only to be sent flying into the chain link barrier. It seemed like the vibrant copy had slammed her feet into the others chest with a mule kick but to those watching it seemed she hadn't even moved. Slowly she walked over to the Rain, the other grinning like she'd been given a present as she stood. Silence grabbed her head, squeezing it as she headed butted the pale copy. Rain stayed on her feet, licking up the blood that dripped down her face.
"I thought you could hit harder than that baby sister," she howled, her laughter filling the warehouse. The older delivered a round house kick to the ribs, Silence not even bothering to block it, diving in and slamming a fist into Rain's stomach, smashing her knee into her face as she doubled over. Rain curled her fingers into claws, raking her nails up the others leg, drawing blood; Silence actually hissed in pain. Rain laughed once more, sweeping out a leg and knocking the other on her ass. Within seconds it became an all out brawl. They were fighting with tooth and nail, fists and feet. Every hit had Grimmjow wincing in pain as they put full power into their attacks, sisterly bond abandoned at the sight of blood. It continued like this till Rain her had her sister in a hold, bending her backwards like she wanted to snap the younger in half. The sudden howl of pain had everybody jumping, even the other fighters that were watching winced at the sight. Silence had sunk her teeth into Rains calf, drawing blood. The pale copy released her instantly but the other didn't.
"Fucking hell!" She screamed, bashing her foot into the others jaw, wrenching the bone sideways. It looked like she'd either broken or dislocated Silence's jaw. They both stood, Silence grabbed her jaw pushing it back into place with a faint click. He couldn't believe that Silence hadn't uttered a sound throughout the match, it must have been the reason behind her name. Without warning she grabbed Rain by her hair, wrapping it round her wrist and yanked the other into a back bend, using her full might to punch her in the sternum. As Rain gasped for breath, Silence threw her over her shoulder and into the fence once more. That looked like the end of the match, Rain lay there unmoving for a few seconds surprising everyone when she got back up on her feet. Her manic grin still in place. Both of them started giggling.
"Bet the ribs hurt pretty bad, huh?" She asked, walking up to her calmly. Silence nodded, the two raised their fists.
"Wonder who's gonna be left standing?" She mused. The two stopped smiling, faces becoming serious. They let their fists fly, both hitting each other in the face. Silence staggered but managed to stay on her feet while Rain dropped clutching her nose. Hanataro slowly approached the barrier with caution, the two were just standing there. "Have you finished?" He asked, shaking in fear. When they saw blood they were known to attack anyone, friend or foe. Silence nodded, pointing to herself before he could even ask who the winner was. He nodded, letting go of the fence, dropping to the ground like a sack of potatoes.
"Ladies and gentlemen we have a winner! Silent death!"
