Chapter 16: The Creepy Song Stalking Me!
Gin glanced nervously to his left, controlling his breathing. He glanced to the right, and hesitated.
Just as he set foot into the hallway, the strange melody drifted into his ears.
"WAaaah~…! LalalalaLAlalalLAlaLa…~!"
Gin grimaced and rushed into the nearest room, locking himself up in there.
Only to later realize it was Szayel Apporro's laboratory….
"Shit," He said, and made for the door.
He ran outside, and again the strange, nostalgic melody followed suit.
Gin grunted, and sprinted down the hallway, towards the main hall.
He crashed against a wall.
Stupefied, he struggled to get up.
The song was heard incredibly closer this time, almost as if the music notes would turn the corner, and head to him.
"Eek," He grimaced, and gulped.
Four steady and incredibly slow, bittersweet notes dragged behind him as he ran.
Gin panted, and headed down the white, now plastered with different colors, hallway.
He went into the Tres Cifras Hall, and crashed into none-other than the Privaron Espada, Dordoni Alessandro Del Soloccio.
"HEY! You, shinigami!" Dordoni drawled.
When Gin failed to look back, Dordoni followed.
Great, Gin thought bitterly, Now I'm running away from a Privaron and a random music box…tsk!
Gin shook his head, and headed down a peach-colored hall, hidden among the complex architecture of Las Noches.
In that hallway, he headed to his room.
As he closed the door behind him, sank down to his knees, and was about to release a sigh of relief, a small, chill creept down his back…
"Ohhhhhhh~ Ichimaru-kun…" Slowly, Gin's eyes followed the half-naked figure poised on his bed, holding on to a music box.
The blonde man grinned, and said, "Long time, no see…Taichou."
