Yoruichi wandered across the yard and slipped easily into the shop and to the accommodation inside. Gracefully, she nudged the door open with her nose and slipped through the cracks. Stretching her feline body, the cat curled up quickly and put a paw on her face and licked. The woman/cat's tail swishes across the floor behind her, content. The peace, however, soon became disturbed.
"Shut up and get off of me!" Grimmjow's voice came from the next room, sounding angry, breathless and pained all at the same time.
"No! Hold still so I can get you back in the gigai body!" A woman's voice rung out, sounding strained.
"Ow! Kuso! That hurts. Damn you bitch!" Grimmjow's voice whined, a swish followed, and a smash. The woman gave a surprised sound. Yoruichi ignored the next sounds as she heard bodies hit the ground.
"GET BACK IN THEREEE." Kei had two arms around the ex-espada's neck, trying to wrestle the man back into the gigai body/prison that Urahara designed. A surprised grunt sounded again, followed by sounds of crashing and wood breaking.
"No way!"
"I can't believe Ururu let you out, what did you tell her?!"
"Why do you care?"
"Cause... Oh whatever, get back in there!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"No!"
"Yes."
"NO!"
"Why not?" Kei's voice whined.
"I'm a god-damn espada, I refuse to be kept prisoner here by lowly shinigamis!"
"As of a month ago, you became my pet cat. For the record, this lowly visored managed to kick your dirty ass."
Grimmjow growled.
"Fine, what about if..." Grimmjow's voice sounded strained. "OW! Stop that. What if someone attacked me? An espada or someone else dispatched to get rid of me? One of your friends got a bit antsy?"
"That's bull shit. I can protect you if anything situation arise, which they would not. You, kitty, are not important enough." A snarl sounded, cue kicking, elbowing, punching. Grimmjow manage to pinch Kei's arm followed by a kick. More sound of broken wood echoed through the house.
"How do you like that now." Grimmjow's voice is now sounding rather amused and smug. A low, feminine growl sounded. Yoruichi gave a sigh, annoyed at how her rest is being disturbed. It's been a few weeks after Grimmjow and Kei struck their deal. Now the pair was more annoying then ever, fighting everyday, yelling and screaming. It wasn't that the blue haired man wasn't useful, it was just that whenever the two were anywhere near each other, chaos ensues.
"F-" The male voice sounded again,
Suddenly, the screen came crashing down along with a body. The splintered wood and paper rained down upon the unfortunate feline. Yoruichi yowled in protest.
Yet the worst was yet to come, cause the blue haired espada soon landed upon her. The cat's tailed is crushed under the man's weight. Kei came jumping through the broken wall, landing on the blue haired espada, now snugly trapped in a gigai once again. The panther grunted as her body weight crashed down onto his chest in a rather ungentle way. He leered at her and she stuck her tongue out at him. Hearing the black cat's frantic and angry scream, the two trouble makers turned, and looked at her. Yellow and blue orbs took in the scene.
Then both of them screamed at the same time. Yoruichi sighed through her annoyance, she wasn't sure if they would count as best friends or worse enemies.
"SHIT!" Scrambling, Kei grabbed Grimmjow by his newly restored hand, who, unbalanced, crashed into the woman. Nearly falling, the visored picked her way through the rubble, dragging her prisoner behind her as she ran. The visored pulled Grimmjow along, not trying her best to protect his face from dragging into the asphalt as she took to the sky, fleeing from the black cat's wrath.
"COME BACK HERE." The black cat's voice yelled out. She sighed. Those two troublemakers need a room, to fight to the death in or to get laid in is yet to be decided. Truthfully, all the ex-captain wanted is a nap.
With the two noise makers out of the house, the cat yawned and curled up in a patch of sunlight. In this state, even hell will have to wait to disturb her
He can hear her laugh, clear as a bell as the wind threw it back into his face. She smelled like flowers again. The sunlight hit her face, and her hair glittered like real silver and her eyes golden. Grimmjow wasn't sure why but he seem to be paying way too much attention to her scent.
"Kei."
"What is it kitty?" She said with a laugh, in the abundant she almost looked angelic. Grimmjow mentally kicked himself for thinking so.
"One, I'm in a gigai body, so anyone can see me. Two, from this view, I can see clear up your cloth." The panther couldn't fight off a smile on his face as he watched her eyes widen, even if it's for only a small fraction.
"Can't say I don't like what I see..." He let his voice rumble. Earning a rather hard-to-see blush spread across her pale face. "O' classic white unddies, nice."
With those words, she tossed him on to the nearest roof. Landing lightly after him, Kei stood with her back to the light. Grimmjow couldn't see much of her face, but her eyes, were golden orbs. "What do you see now?"
"Stars." He murmured, picking out broken pieces of roof shingles out of his palm.
"Wonderful." she walked closer with her lips tilted into a smile. Kei crouched down across him, "We better not go back for a while, I hate to think what Yoruichi would do to us."
Grimmjow smirked at that, "She was really angry, wasn't she? It was your fault, you know."
"My fault! If only you get in your gigai without trying to assault me or run away."
"What? What the hell bitch? What you did to me just now was assault!"
Kei squinted, and suddenly Grimmjow had a bad feeling. "So you wanna see assault huh." He saw her muscles tighten, ready to pounce. Which she did, knocking the panther straight over with force. The knife glinted out of no where in her hand. Her teeth looked sharp as she showed a toothy grin, the bright light glinting on the fangs. Demon, she's the devil, he thought distractedly and Grimmjow's eyes widened as it flashed down with deadly speed.
And the zanpakuto embedded itself into the ground millimeters away from his ear. "Get it now dear?"
"Crystal." Grimmjow said with a weary expression, fangs showing in a jeer, "Now get off of me."
"You are looking awfully cozy down there, Grimmjow. I see you got your arm back, consorting with the enemy now are we?" Luppi's hated voice rung out from behind them.
"Well Grimmjow, I thought you were gay, but I see you have a girlfriend." The shameless woman said still atop his chest.
"I'm not a girl!"
"He's not my girlfriend."
"Oh... boyfriend, sorry for the mistake. I get it now~. So you do play for the other team Grimmjow. That would explain your inability to get a hard on even when I'm sitting on top of you." Grimmjow wanted to stab the woman.
"I don't get a hard on, because you are not appealing."
"Oh really."
"Yes really."
"You just told me you liked what you see."
"Well I-"
"You can't deny it." The line of the kosode didn't exactly cover Kei's cleavage completely and Grimmjow had an eyeful before he could turn away.
"Get off of me!"
"What? Embarrassed to have a girl on top when your boyfriend is watching?"
"No!"
"Then what is it?" Teasingly the girl smirked and pressed closer. Grimmjow turned to glare at her and got another eyeful.
"YOU ARE HEAVY YOU FAT BITCH."
Kei narrowed her eyes at him as she grabbed her weapon. "Do you really mean that, Grimmy?" The sarcasm dripped off her words like honey, "Cause you know, that's a really interesting fact. Would you care to say that again?"
For once, Grimmjow's mouth felt dry. Yet he licked his lip and repeated his words on the threat of death.
"You are fat."
"..." The deadly silence hung on for a minute, and Grimmjow watched as Kei slowly pulled the knife out from beside his head. He was going to die, and his life seem to flash before his eyes. Her knife was resting on his face, wait, wait, wait, he needs another minute, unlike a mortal his life was quite long.
"Enough!" Luppi yelled at both of them. "I didn't come here to see you be lovey dovey with..." The rather womanly man snarled.
"I understand, but I'm sorry, I'll have to kill your boyfriend. I'll find you a better one."
"No you bitch!" The vine man snapped, "I am here to kill you both."
"That's a harsh way to dump someone."
"We are not boyfriend and girlfriend!"
"You mean boyfriend and boyfriend, right stranger?"
"You... Irritating..." The next words were halt as the visored launched herself at Luppi. They sparred in the air, knife against sword. The blades clashed, sparks flying off. Kei dodged once, quickly counterattacking with a stab to Luppi's face. The man dodged but the knife cut off strands of his hair. Kei jumped before Luppi can swing his sword and appeared behind the vine man. A kick sent him flying across the sky. The demon followed, knife slashing and flashing. Desperately the latter parried, yet the slashes and stabs were getting increasingly close to his body. Desperately the ivy girl slashed, only to be parried, the blade slid down the knife and stopped at the hilt. With her free hand, Kei hardened her reiatsu and sent a punch straight at the man's face.
"You... how dare you. Now you have done it. I will show you my real power." Luppi landed, crashing into the park. Grimmjow watched. The violet light begun to seep out from the detestable man's body.
"Strangle, trepadora."
"Kei!"
"I get it, I get it..." She shouted, a momentarily distracted as she narrowly dodged an incoming vine. It scraped her cheek. Suddenly her fingers felt a little numb. Poison then, Kei thought wearily, she better not let this drag out long.
"Scribe, Gakusha." The knife turned gold with runes and then seem to ripple like water before turning into two. Suddenly there were two matching, wickedly curved knives in each of her hands. The eight vines came around in a circle, she jumped higher into the air. The eight vines followed after her, blood thirsty. Kei crossed her blades and parried the attack. Shunpoing, she dodged one attack after the other. Angry, the attacker sent all eight tentacles towards the woman. The attack managed to catch her blades with enough force to send Kei far into another direction. Luppi turned to Grimmjow. The blue haired man had watched the fight in silence, unable to do anything within the prison of the faux body.
"Shit." In this situation he couldn't even defend himself.
"Now... I don't know about you, but I'm thrilled to see you again, Grimmjow." Luppi's feminine voice drawled out as a single vine wound itself around the former sixth's body.
"I'm never thrilled to see a bastard like you." Grimmjow growled.
"Oh but that hurts my feelings, former sixth." The rather girly espada gloated, putting emphasize on the last two words, "You see, I was very glad to see you. If I can get rid of you... It shall secure my position. So imagine my surprise when I felt your aura when I entered this world. Imagine my delight when I found a certain blue haired man on the rooftops as soon as I begun my search. I could hardly believe my own luck."
A second vine crept, well armed with, ironically, six spikes. "Shall I punch you beautifully full of holes? Grimmjow?" His maniacal laughter sounded, and with sudden quickness the vine shot towards its intended victim. Grimacing, Grimmjow closed his eyes.
Nothing hit. He can hear the sound of metal and wind as the slash fell. The sensation of falling was short, and something warm splattered onto his face. When his blue eyes opened, Grimmjow saw a head of silver hair, a tall frame clad in a usual, cut off black kosode. His savior's right shoulder was skewed by spikes, dripping with blood. The second blade dropped from her hand and seem to melt away. Blood dripped, soaking through the black cloth. Her voice was low.
"Ya know, I don't like it very much when people mess with things that are mine. Call it a pet peeve if you will. But that. Really. Pisses. Me. Off."
"Really, you shouldn't talk back when you are disabled like that. Prey don't talk back. But my, shinigami-chan, you have such a pretty face, very sexy indeed. If only you would stop talking so I can admire it... Perhaps I should cut out your tongue, or perhaps your throat, then you would shut up..." The vine impaling the woman shook, and she grimaced. Inwardly, she cursed, this time she managed to get the full blast of poison, her limbs felt slowly heavier. The demon had to act, and she had to act fast.
"I apologize, but I'm afraid I can't let you do that." Kei gritted her teeth and smiled.
"Wha-" Luppi's face twisted in confusion at the woman's smile.
"Scribe, Gakusha." Kei's command sounded and the blade in her left hand glowed white and then gold, extending and stabbing the man through the rib cage. The vine twitched, throwing the woman onto the roof. The blow would slow the man down, Kei reflected. Unfortunately, it didn't hit him in the heart, her aim was thrown off. She fell towards Grimmjow. The evil ex-espada looked at her falling, and stepped aside quickly, letting the girl crash onto the ground.
"You bastard," She snarled, and then grimaced, struggling to sit up, "Fine! Don't have the courtesy to catch the falling lady who saved your life, won't you?"
"You are the reason we are here in the first place."
"If you were trust worthy, I wouldn't be locking you in a gigai body."
"We are enemies."
"Correction, we are allies because we have a deal. I gave you back your arm, and you remain our source of intelligence."
"Whatever."
"You are unharmed, as promised. I told ya I'm a good body guard." Grimmjow sighed, it was easy to see that she was having a hard time standing up.
"You are doing a lousy job, bleeding all over the damn place."
"You weren't the one being skewered by poisoned vines." The girl sighed, "Stupid cat, come over here."
Grudgingly, Grimmjow shifted over, "There's a necklace round my neck, grab it. Hurry up, he's bound to come around any minute." The blue-haired man complied to the order with a scrawl, parting the woman's clothing, carefully avoiding touching any sensitive spot, he traced the silver chin and grabbed the silver key dangling from it.
When the sixth espada rose from below, trying to insult the shinigami with every single curse word imaginable.
"...Bitch, stupid wh-" His words cut short with shock as a hand pierced through his heart. Violet eyes opened wide in shock as he registered the blue-haired arrancar.
"It's not... ugh..." The blood splattered and Grimmjow prevented any farther speech as he twisted the loser's neck.
Kisuke stared at the blue haired man, grudgingly carrying the silver haired visored across the threshold, bridal style. Ichigo lagged behind, carrying the rather large, cumbersome, inanimate gigai body across his back. The procession looked so awkward and unlikely that the stripe-hated man begun to laugh.
"What's the big idea you bastard?"
"Oh my my, I'm sorry. It was just so funny that I forgot to watch my manners."
"Kisuke." Kei glared at the man, dangling awkwardly in Grimmjow's embrace, "I swear to god, when this poison wears off, I'll make sure you wished you never laughed at us..."
"Us? Ho ho ho ho Kei, you guys are sounding like the perfect couple. Am I witnessing the moment the blushing bride and groom to be step into their first night of ecstasy?"
"Uaraha!"
"Bastard!" The combined glare of both manage to silence the sandal wearing man, who beat a hasty retreat with his fan over his face.
Kei turned back to glare at Grimmjow, "You didn't have to carry me this way you know."
"Do you rather I dragged you here by your injured shoulder?"
"Well..."
"Shut up, this is bad enough as it is." The blue haired man growled, walking towards the woman's room, kicking open the door.
"My door..."
"Stop fussing!" Grimmjow tightened his grip in annoyance, crushing the woman into his chest. Kei found herself with a face full of Grimmjow's chest, the wounds on her shoulder opened again and she cringed. The blood begun to run down Grimmjow's arm.
"Ow..."
"Ah shit... Sorry." It's amazing, he actually apologized, the injured woman snorted into the ex-espada's chest.
"Don't do that." Grimmjow said, biting into his own lip and keeping still.
"Do what?"
"Breathing on my chest."
"Well, if you didn't smash my face to your chest, I wouldn't have to." As she spoke, her lips moved, touching Grimmjow's skin. He shivered and dumped her unceremoniously onto the bed. The visored winced again. Grimmjow leaned over, smelling the visored's blood mixing with her scent of flowers. Roughly he tucked her in, managing to poke her in the wound twice. It was almost cute with the awkward way he was trying to take care of her.
"I'm off to be forced back into that prison of a body." His voice drifted over to the woman as he walked out the open door way.
"Have fun."
"Oh shut up..." He murmured, pausing. A silence ensued, the blue haired man managed to grip the wall so hard that wood chips fell.
"Um." Both of them said in perfect sync.
"Thanks." Both blurted out.
"Why?"
"For the help." The two stared at each other, and Kei smiled crookedly.
"Don't think I'm getting soft," He mumbled, "I'm just repaying my debt."
"Yeah yeah." Kei smirked.
"Oye you, don't press it.." Grimmjow turned around, annoyed.
Kei stuck her tongue out at the agitated man, "I know, I know. Thanks for carrying me today, Grim."
He seem to pause when she called him that. Turning around, he cleared his throat and mumbled something inaudible.
"What?"
"I said..." The stubborn man mumbled again.
"I can't hear you~" Kei said in a sing-sang voice.
"I said, you weren't that bad..."
She laughed, and stopped with a wince. Grimmjow sighed at the woman's childish antics. Her voice rung out clearly as she smiled, golden orbs glowing...
"Thanks."
