Ichigo was awoken by the sound of the lock coming undone and waited for someone to enter but no one did. 'Odd.' He got up and walked over to the door and tried the knob. To his surprise the door opened. Ichigo looked around the hallway but didn't find anyone which was very confusing. Suddenly Szayel appeared out of nowhere. "Hi there Ichigo, Grimmjow asked me to watch you for the day."
"Great."
"Don't be like that I'm sure we can find something entertaining to do. Come along." Szayel motioned with his hand for Ichigo to follow him. The walked for quite a ways which had Ichigo wondering where the hell they were going.
"Where are we going?"
"Oh someplace."
"That's helpful," Ichigo said as he rolled his eyes. They came up to a door that seemed to be on the farthest side of Los Noches.
"We're here." Szayel opened the door and walked inside. "Come in Ichigo." Ichigo wasn't sure if he should follow the man inside but with nowhere else to go without being chased he went inside. As he entered he looked around and noticed that the place looked like a lab of sorts. There was even a table with a huge light overhead that he has seen in movies. Once again Szayel appeared out of nowhere and was next to him. "Welcome to my lab." As he said this he gestured around the room.
"Looks…..nice." Ichigo didn't want to piss off the guy. In ways Szayel relates to Mayuri which sent a cold shiver down Ichigo's spine. He didn't notice that Szayel had left his side and was now standing behind him. Ichigo felt a sharp pain in his neck and his hand flew to the area to find a dart.
"What… is…th.." Ichigo fell to the ground with a thud and Szayel lowering the dart gun.
"Well that was easier than I thought." Szayel walked over and picked up Ichigo to lay him on the table. "He really is defenseless with that collar on. Well, now time to get to work."
Grimmjow had finished his mission and just got back. He decided to make his way to Szayel's to see how his prisoner was doing. "Ah there you are." Grimmjow turned around and saw Gin walking toward him.
"What the hell do you want." Grimmjow turned to face him as Gin came to a stop in front of him.
"Oh I just wanted to know how you're doing." Gin had that creepy smile he always wore which made the situation even more scary.
"I'm doing fine, now piss off." Grimmjow started to continue on his way but Gin stepped in front of him.
"Let's talk for a bit."
Szayel set to work on accomplishing his orders from Aizen. He loaded up a syringe with a dark red liquid and cleaned the spot for the injection. Once everything was ready he inserted the liquid into Ichigo and checked to to make sure that he didn't react violently to the foreign substance. "All is good." Then he sensed that Grimmjow had returned and hurriedly picked up Ichigo. He left his lab and make his way back to the room and set him down on the bed. Just as he finished Grimmjow entered the room and saw Ichigo was on the bed along with Szayel in the room also. "Um he was tired and passed out." That was the only excuse that Szayel could think of at the moment. Grimmjow wasn't known for being smart so he hoped this worked and didn't get Grimmjow angry in any way, shape, or form.
"Wow, he must be something if he can pass out from doing nothing." Grimmjow walked over to the bed and looked down at Ichigo. "Since I'm back you can leave Szayel." Szayel nodded and left the room.
Ichigo woke up some time later and looked around room to find Grimmjow reading a book. "Amazing." Grimmjow reluctantly looked up from his book, which was getting to a good part.
"What is?"
"You reading a book."
"Shinigami, you don't know what I do in my spare time." Grimmjow seemed to get upset at Ichigo's comment.
Ichigo shrugged. "Don't get mad, just saying that I didn't think you would read at all. And about your spare time, it seems like you fight most of the time in my perception, so to find you relaxing and reading is kinda of off for me." Grimmjow rolled his eyes at that comment. Silence fell upon the room and Ichigo's thoughts went back to when he was with Szayel. Now that he thinks back he can't remember how he got here. Grimmjow got up from his seat and stretched. "Grim…"
"Let's go." Grimmjow started heading for the door expecting Ichigo to follow him.
"What, where are we going?" Ichigo got off of the bed and followed Grimmjow out the door. They walked down the hallway. Ichigo hasn't been there for that long so he was lost as Grimmjow led through Los Noches. Soon they arrived at a huge room that was ver spacious. "What are we doing here?" Ichigo asked as they entered the large room.
"We are going to spar."
"I don't have be sword idiot." He watched as Grimmjow walked over to one side of the room and retrieved an item. As he walked closer he noticed it was Zangetsu. "My sword." Grimmjow threw the sword at Ichigo and he caught it but almost dropped it in the process.
"Sitting around doing nothing gets annoying."
"I knew it, you fight most of the time."
"No more talking, fighting time." Grimmjow unleashed Pantera and stood ready. Ichigo also took ahold of his sword and stood ready. "Don't cry when I kick your ass shinigami."
"Same to you pussy."
"Now you've done it." Grimmjow flew at Ichigo and they began their spar. At first, their attacks were careful, trying to figure out each others weaknesses and as time progressed the attacks got more brutal. A half and hour in and both Grimmjow and Ichigo were panting from exhaustion. Neither wanting to give in to the other.
