"So...what now?" Memuro asked.
"I believe in this you might meet Grimmjow." A female voice called.
Crap! Who found my secret mind-hideout?!
A feminine frame stepped out from the shadows. "Rakuen-sama!" Memuro smiled, tightly hugging her friend.
...Oh, it's just you...
"Well nice to see you too..." Rakuen sarcastically said. Then she turned to the audience. "Let's get started then, shall we?"
"Okay!" Memuro cheered.
"Can someone explain to me why we're doing this again?" Memuro whispered, elbowing Renji on accident.
"Ow! Dammit, Chiyote!" Renji complain, rubbing the spot she had hit him. But it's not like she could really help elbowing him, considering the extremely tight situation they were in. How there was even room for the five of them in the small area was unknown to her.
Rangiku shoved Renji over a bit. "Shh...I can't hear what they're saying now!"
"...What are those arrancar, anyway? And why were they after me?!" Ichigo's voice called.
"As far as that goes...we shall be the ones...to do the explaining!" Renji said, as the five of them knocked down the light and stuck their heads out of the hole in the ceiling. Ichigo seemed to be in complete shock as they all jumped down into his room.
He pointed at Renji. "How the hell did you guys get in here?! Wait, no!! First I want you guys to fix the damn light!!"
Rangiku snickered as she jerked her thumb in Ikkaku's direction. "Actually we do have a spare light bulb on hand!"
"A pretty good one too!" Memuro laughed.
"What do you two mean?!" Ikkaku growled.
Memuro knew that Ichigo knew nothing, so she decided to settle for a nice spot on his bed and just listened in as everyone went through the explanation of the arrancar, (complete with Rukia's crappy drawings!).
Ruffling Orihime's hair, Memuro smiled at her. "Thank you, Orihime-chan! It's so kind of you to let us stay here with you!" The purple haired suddenly felt something extremely strange.
"Ah, so now let's get in the bath!" Rangiku apparently didn't notice, she was much to busy smothering poor Orihime with a rough hug.
"You guys enjoy that, I'm going to go out for a bit..." She said, slipping out of the house before they could really do anything.
After about five steps away from the house a voice called her. "Where do you think you're going?"
Stopping in mid step, the third seat looked up and saw her captain sitting on the roof. "Oh, taichō! Heh, I forgot you were up there...I was just going to check around town, you know, get to know the area and such. Plus I'd like to enjoy my time in the real world, just for a bit!"
Tōshirō sighed. "Alright, just be sure you're ready if there's an attack."
"Of course!" Memuro waved to him as she ran off down the empty road. For the size of the city, it was surprisingly empty...Accompanied with the awkward feeling she was getting, it made for a fairly creepy scene.
About half way through her walk, she felt a sudden burst in spiritual pressure on the other side of town. "Dammit!!" She said to herself, pulling out a piece of soul candy and swallowing it. In a swift motion, she was already flash stepping toward the nearest arrancar. Rangiku and Tōshirō seemed to have those two covered. Then she checked by Ikkaku and Yumichika who only had one to fight, and they were more than enough for that. She then found that Rukia was already taking care of that specific arrancar. "Okay so I'm pretty sure they've got it cov--"
Stopping in mid sentence she quickly flash stepped away from the attack that was launched from behind her. "Heh, so you could dodge my attack...What a surprise..." The blue haired man turned to face her, a crazed grin across his features. "I'm the sexta espada, Grimmjow!!"
Unsheathing her zanpakutō, she held it out defensively. "Cover...Orochimaru..." The blade shattered and armor grew around her right arm, as her uniform top changed into a sports bra like look while her bottom became a pair of shorts with material loosely draped on the front and back. A tattoo also formed on her back which appeared to be a snake crawling up a rose covered vine. "I'm third seat of the tenth division, Chiyote Memuro!"
"Only a third seat? Heh, well this should be easy..." The sexta espada said, crossing his arms in front of his chest cockily.
She chuckled to herself as she winked at him. "Hey, I'm not that easy on a first date."
He smirked down at her. "Obviously you've never dated me..."
"Quite the ego, eh?" The purple haired woman asked.
"It's not like I can't back it up..." A grin spread across his features.
A smirk spread across her own features as she moved to a more defensive position. "Really then? Let's see it?"
His grin seemed to widen. "Well then...let's go!!" Moving faster than most shinigami could follow, he attempted a full frontal attack which was quickly blocked by Orochimaru. They broke apart for a split second before he attacked her again, which she blocked again.
"He's really strong..." Memuro thought to herself, getting knocked back a few feet by the sheer force of his kick. "I'm not gonna be able to hold this for long...Especially with my power sealed...."
"Ha!" Grimmjow laughed, unleashing a barrage of punches. "You're doing better than I thought!"
Getting knocked down again by his attack, the third seat decided to go at this from a smarter angle. "Okay, so he likes hand to hand combat, which is good for me...he's much, much stronger though, and faster than me also..." She thought to herself, continually dodging any attacks he launched at her. "So...I could always do something he wouldn't expect..."
"Giving up already?!" He asked, standing back and watching her movements closely.
She didn't reply, instead she just flash stepped away and reappeared right behind him. Grimmjow saw her movements the entire time and grabbed her arm when she tried to attack him, just like she had expected. Taking that opportunity to distract him with her other hand, she kicked him on his side with all the force she could muster with, her power sealed like that.
They broke apart momentarily, but before they could continue fighting, Ichigo stepped in between them. "Kurosaki!" Memuro shouted.
"Get out of here, Chiyote-san..." The teen said, glaring dangerously at the enemy arrancar. "Now!"
Her better judgment told her to go, so that's exactly what she did. Once she was far enough not to get involved with the fight, but still close enough to watch, she stopped. Memuro knew she should have gone further, but she was so captivated by this strange arrancar that she couldn't bring herself to actually leave. The fight was quite amazing to watch. Ichigo was taking more hits than giving them, and Grimmjow seemed to love everything about it. With him it was almost like the captain of the eleventh division, Zaraki Kenpachi. And even after taking a head on blow from Ichigo's strongest attack, he was still standing and laughing about it. That's when he reached for his sword. "Kurosaki!!" The purple haired woman shouted to him, flash stepping over to him.
That was when the former captain of the ninth squad, Tōsen Kaname, appeared. "Put your weapon back where it belongs, Grimmjow."
Grimmjow growled. "Tōsen...! What the fuck are you doing here?!"
"You're asking...'why?'" The darker man questioned. "Don't you get it? Honestly? You came into the material world on your own...And even went so far as to bring five other arrancar with you--who all died in the end. All of this...has been a violation of your orders!! And you should also understand...that right now, Aizen-sama is livid. Grimmjow." He walked past the arrancar. "We're going. Your punishment will be determined in Hueco Mundo."
"...Tch. Alright already." He grumbled, following the blind man.
Ichigo sat upright. "Wa...wait! Where do you think you're going!?"
The blue haired man looked back at the two shinigami. "Shut up already. I'm going back. Back to Hueco Mundo."
"Don't run away!!" Memuro shouted after him.
He glared down at her. "I'm not runnin' away. We all know who won the fight here..."
Not even realizing what she was doing anymore, the female shinigami flash stepped to the tear in the sky, attempting to chase after him. But Ichigo was there in a split second to hold her back. "Don't...It's not worth it..."
"Both of you better not...forget my name. And hope...you don't hear it a second time. Grimmjow Jeagerjaques!! The next time you hear this name...will be your last, shinigami!!" Grimmjow shouted as the tear between worlds closed.
"...Dammit!!" Memuro sighed, punching the ground.
Well, I've got things to do, so I'll leave you two to your stuff...
"Leaving already?" Rakuen asked the Narrator.
"Aw, you'll be missing all the fun!" Memuro grinned.
Um...oh I think I left the oven on! I'll be back later!!
