Ulquiorra walked down the hallway, limping from what he and Grimmjow did last night - hopefully Nnoitra wouldn't notice, lest he be teased until he was forced to kill the Quinta Espada for saying such vulgar things.
He reached the throne room before anyone else, and he took his seat, wondering if they would let Grimmjow attend the meetings from now on. It had been little over a month since he'd become a vampire, but he had exceptional control, so Szayel said.
The Espada walked in, and at the back of the line, there was Grimmjow, looking so pale against the other skin tones that you might not recognize him. The only thing that was normal about him nowadays was his attitude toward meetings. He still hated them with all his might.
Aizen entered the room, taking his seat with that royal heir of his. ''My dear Espada,'' he began, signaling for them to sit down. He waited until the tea - blood for Grimmjow, who scowled at it in distaste - was passed out before he said anything further. ''There are intruders in Hueco Mundo.''
Grimmjow choked on his blood. ''What?'' he growled. ''How is that possible? No one can infiltrate this - ''
''I said Hueco Mundo, not Las Noches.''
Grimmjow calmed down again, resuming his quiet demeanor that had been in play since last week. If his temper ever got out of control, everyone within range would be exterminated, even Aizen himself. But Ulquiorra had to admit, it was kind of nice when he could rant and lose his temper. It made him look so hot.
''As I was saying, the intruders are Ichigo Kurosaki, Uryuu Ishida, and Yasutora Sado. We have also just been informed that Renji Abarai and Rukia Kuchiki have also joined them and are heading for Las Noches this instant.''
''But you said - '' Grimmjow started. Aizen merely raised his hand, and Ulquiorra cast him a begging glance, one that said 'please shut the hell up, or else no sex for you tonight'. Jeagerjaquez went quiet almost at once.
''I want you to keep them at bay at all costs. Grimmjow and Ulquiorra, you will be stationed at the south part of the dome. Aaeroniero, you will be stationed at the north. Szayel, the main hallway, and the rest of you just scatter around the place. If you see one of them, kill them. Is that perfectly clear?''
Everyone nodded. ''Meeting adjourned,'' Aizen said, standing up and shunpoing to Gin, whom was waiting by the door.
Ulquiorra limped over to Grimmjow.
(*)(*)(*)
''Hello, Ichigo Kurosaki,'' Grimmjow said from the rafters. This was it, now or never. If he wasn't deafeated right here and now, then all of Las Noches was in jepoardy. If Grimmjow couldn't defeat him, in other words, they were screwed.
''Jeagerjaquez. Where is Orihime?''
Orihime? Who...? ''I don't know who you're talking about.''
Ichigo stopped, looking up at the Espada with a suspicious expression - but it was true. Grimmjow had no idea who this 'Orihime' person was. She was just someone who Kurosaki mentioned just now.
''Then where's Ulquiorra?'' That struck a nerve.
''Why do you want to know?'' Grimmjow was about to lose it - if he said he wanted to fight him and kill him, then that would be his death warrant.
''I have a score to settle with him.'' Oh no he didn't. Grimmjow leaped down from the rafters, gettting close to Ichigo's face so fast the strawberry blinked. He growled, making it obvious that he didn't like that answer.
''And why, might I ask, do you want to mess with my lover?'' Ichigo blushed - apparently he'd never thought that Grimmjow, the Sexta Espada, would be homosexual. But he wasn't - he was bisexual. There was a difference.
''He's the one who brought Orihime here,'' he answered, reaching back to grab his sword. Grimmjow only smirked, letting his fangs grow in and taste the air around him. He felt his eyes tingle, and he knew that they were now a bright shade of crimson.
He advanced, flitting forward and biting down on his neck.
Then he woke up.

You didn't actually think I'd end the story that fast, did you? No, I'm going to drag it out a little with some filler chapters :D. If you don't like it, then don't read them, but if you're looking for a good chuckle or two, then enjoy. As always, review!
