Hey…

"Hey, Szayel!"

He woke up with a jolt. "What…" He opened his eyes to found Nnoitra shaking him awake. "What is it?"

"It's horrible!" The Third Espada cried, reaching over to flick on the light on the nightstand between the beds.

"What is?" Szayel yawned, covering his face with his hands to block out the bright light. "Is… Is Blockhead back from the dead? We under attack?"

"Worse!" Aaroniero cried from where she was sitting up in bed between Telsa and Rubornn who had rings around their eyes. "You were snoring!"
"And none of us have gotten any sleep!" Telsa added, pointing at the clock that read four in the morning. "Because every time we thought that we'd finally get to sleep, you'd snore!"

"Frickin' loud, I might add." Rudbornn said.

"Geez!" Szayel threw the blankets over his head in a huff. "Sorry I snore."

"You don't usually." Nnoitra pointed out, ripping the away the newly created tent. "What are you so stressed about?"

"Me?" Szayel peered up at Nnoitra's sleepy eyes. "Stressed? What makes you say that?"
"Because you only snore when you are."

"…Really? That's hard to believe."

"It's fact." Aaroniero said, not happy at all by the lack of sleep she was getting tonight. "I can play back a recording If you want."

"What?!" Szayel sat up in bed, this time hitting Nnoitra in the head. "You recorded me while I slept?! What kind of creep are you?!"

"A tired one."

"That gives you no excu-"

"What are you stressed about?" Nnoitra brought the main question back around for another go. "You have to tell us, or we are going to force you to stay up with all of us."

Szayel rolled his eyes. "I would like to see you try that."

"We'll feed you an espresso." Telsa held up the room service menu he had been reading over and over for the past two hours to maybe lull himself to sleep.

"And I've tried coffee and it tastes worse than that soup. But we are going to make sure you down every last drop of it."
"I see there is no way of just going back to sleep. Is there, Nnoitra?"

The Third Espada shook his head. "Nope. 'Fess up and then you can go to bed and we can hope you don't snore."

"We could smoother him with a pillow…" Rudbornn pointed out, just wanting some silence. "It's just a suggestion you know. He wouldn't die…So you…" Telsa moved just in time to avoid being hit by his head as it crashed onto the nearest pillow.

"Well…" Szayel slurred sleepily, wanting to just go to sleep. "I was thinking that… it's rather…Tia's fault we are now on mission impossible. We can't kill Yammy…he's stronger than the rest of us and that Soul Reaper…was easily ambushed by my idiot brother, Yylfordt. If he can be, then he must not be very strong… so, his sword will be useless on Yammy… and I mean… Kaien Shiba might be good but… Yammy knows that form and I just don't like being here and I want to go home and have Tia send Gloomy…and…. Also… Tia mention a Quincy…ages ago… Ishida something and I think… I want to find this thing and continue my research… but you see, when I think of my research, I want to cry because not done and so, I think that I should find this thing and use it, you know and I just…tired and I don't like los…what ever here…and I've just felt frustrated with life today… I went outside today and the sky was so nice… I wanna fly again… cause life on the ground is boring and I'm sleepy."

The other Arancarrs shared a look.

"That's a lot on your plate." Nnoitra muttered, taking Szayel by the shoulders and laying him back down on the bed before he fell over by himself. "And you are right… Tia has no clue what she was sending us to do."

"Is…" Aaroniero began, her minds slowly gaining speed as they thought. "It even possible to kill Yammy?"

"Maybe…" Szayel continued, half asleep. "I just thought that cause Kaien is a Soul Reaper and so… Kido. He'd know that… Right?"

"I don't know any spells!" Aaroniero liked the idea of him having the power to do Kido. "But…I'm a hollow!"

"There are people who are…what's the name…Soul Reapers with Hollow powers and they do… Cero."

"I think…" Telsa grinned at Nnoitra who was thinking the same thing. "I think you are on to something. And… If we can teach Aaroniero-sama high level Kido Spells, then…"

"He'll have no problems killing Yammy."

"But I wanna fly…" Szayel muttered, not comprehending the conversation. "Because walking is a pain… and besides, I look pretty… Don't I?"

"Yes." Nnoitra gently pulled the blankets back into place. "Very. Now, go to sleep and we wired and very tired people will continue to talk."

"Awe…Some.." Nnoitra watched Szayel close his eyes and less than two minutes later, was soundly asleep. "And now…" He gently poked Szayel to double check he was actually asleep. (And he was.) "Let us talk. So. We need to see if Kaien Shiba knows any Kido spells. Get out of bed Fishtank and get to work."

"Fine… fine…." Aaroniero climbed out of bed in her nightgown and slowly changed back to Kaien Shiba as he did. "And if you guys decide to laugh at my different anatomical features, I am going to make Szayel snore."

Telsa and Nnoitra raised an eyebrow. "How do you make someone snore?"

"Donno. But I do know it will happen." He said, not liking how the nightgown did not flatter his shape anymore. "Now…" He walked over to his small purple suitcase and pulled out his sword. "If I can use Kaien Shiba's Shikai… then…Maybe I can use kido spells."

"But…" Nnoitra yawned, rather envious of Rudbornn and Szayel who were actually getting rest. "We don't know any spells."

"Well…" Aaroniero closed his eyes and began to dig through the attic of his mind. "Maybe Kaien left some notes in the back of his mind. I know everything about him. His memories, his likes and dislikes… Can even tell you what undies he wore when he was attacked."

"Neat." Telsa laughed loudly, finding something funny in that sentence. "And… It must get crowded in your head, Aaroniero-sama."

"Very." The high-pitched voice cried. "I am so thankful for my Gigai…"

"It's neat…" The second voice said, "Because we, unlike you all can use some of our powers inside it. Like change our shape. Because were the last ones to get a Gigai from Urahara who created a gigai to our DNA."

"…Oh?" Nnoitra blinked. "Is that so?"

"Yes. We were the last ones to get a Gigai."

"And…" He glanced at his arm. "Urahara-san did do that with ours?"

"He didn't now that I recall… he just gave you a basic gigai that was for appearance." Aaroniero thought back to the conversation between Tia and the shopkeeper when he went into the be fitted for a Gigai. "He was going to fix to be like mine them, but Tia said no thanks."

"Damn!" Nnoitra yelled. If he and Szayel had a Gigai like Aaroniero's that was matched to their DNA, they may have not froze to death last winter because their natural resistance to the cold would have been able to work. It was so simple! "It's not fair!"

"Nnoitra-sama…" Telsa muttered, "I am sorry about…what ever it is."

"Thank you, Telsa. I am glad to have someone on my side."

"But you can still use some of your powers, no?" Aaroniero said, half of his mind reading Kaien Shiba's spell list. "Such as Bala and you have your strength.

"Yeah. We do. But those don't make the cold go away and it was a real pain to almost die in the cold and snow and if I ever get home, Tia is going to get a talking down to and…"

Aaroniero let the complaining go in one ear and out the other. What Nnoitra was complaining about was not his problem. In fact, he had no problem…"Bakudo-Nine…" He really loved Kaien Shiba… a few more gestures and… "Geki."

Nnoitra froze. His mouth half open, his arms talking and his eye narrowed.

Aaroniero grinned. It had worked! He had just froze Nnoitra with Kido that left a red glow around his frame. "This is…awesome!"

"AHH!" Telsa cried, fearing the worse. "What did you do to Master Nnoitra?!"

"Just froze him. I just said that!"

"Great! You've had your fun! Unfreeze him!"

"Ah…" Aaroniero paused, his mind searching through the Soul Reaper's memories. "I don't know if there is a way to-"

"What?!" Telsa ran over to the frozen one and began to shake him. "Wake up, Master Nnoitra! Can you hear me?!"

"Fix it." Aaroniero finished, wanting to crawl under the bed. "But.. I'm sure there is a way…. Somehow…Maybe…we should wake-"

"Don't wake Szayel up!" Telsa ordered, not wanting to have him freak out as well. "You'll just cause more panic!"

"How do we undo it?!" Aaroniero rushed over to see if maybe if he snapped his fingers it would break the spell. "And that didn't work! AHH! Telsa!" He grabbed the Fraccion by the shoulders and shook him. "Help me!"

"It's-not-my-"

"It is! Help me!" Aaroniero stopped shaking Telsa long enough for him to actually think. "I don't want to have to-"

"Espada-sama!" Telsa began, only to be jolted again. "I think you should sit down and think this over!"

"But I don't have time to sit!"

"You have to!" Telsa dragged Aaroniero over to the chair by the window and made him sit. "Now close your eyes and search through all of Kaien Shiba's memories! I cannot stand to see him frozen like that! It's…cruel!"

"Okay! Okay!" Aaroniero clamped his eyes shut and let his frantic minds drift into the memories. Telsa watched in silence for a good five minutes before sitting down in front of the chair to wait.

"I have it!" A voice screamed, waking him up suddenly. "We…"

"What?" Telsa opened his eyes to see sunlight coming through the window of the hotel room. He glanced at the clock on the nightstand that read eleven o'clock. "How do you reverse it! Poor Master Nnoitra! Stuck like that for…"

"We can fix it." Aaroniero climbed out of the chair to stand next to Nnoitra. "It simple." He held his right hand out and began to trace in the air. "All you have to do is the spell reversed… but don't say it backwards because it will make it worse. You have to do the gestures and then say… Bakudo-nine - Reverse."

Nnoitra flopped onto the floor with a thud.

"It was that simple?!" Telsa yelled, running over to make sure that Nnoitra was okay. "What took you so long to find it?!"

"Well…" Aaroniero really hated it.. He really did… "I had to sit through all of Kaien Shiba's years of Kido Academy… It's so boring I drifted off to sleep a few times. And then, had to pick back up and… learning Kido is so boring! But, the good news is that Kaien Shiba knows up to thirty-five in the two categories that I can't remember. One is restraining and the other is attack spells. So… yeah.. Do you know how many times this kid was sent to detention?!"

"No…" Nnoitra muttered, his whole body hurting as he climbed to his knees. "And I really hate you. I…I can't sleep with my eyes open, damn you!"

"Uh? What's going on?"

The three of them shared a long, long look… through all of the screaming, and yelling and panic… and now, they were just talking and….Szayel had to have just woken up.

Telsa and Nnoitra peered over the bed and sure enough, Szayel was awake.

"Hi?" He asked, not sure why all of them were staring at him. "What are you… three doing?"

"You…" Telsa tried out for size. "Didn't wake up at all last night…"

"Did you?" Aaroniero added, backing away nervously.

"Uh…I'm confused by what you mean… I didn't wake up at all…besides since you shook me awake that is."
Telsa and Aaroniero grinned. No one was going to ever know what went on. It was their secret. No one had to know that Nnoitra was frozen by Kido the whole night, nor did they have to know of the screaming… "Nothing. It was just noisy outside."

"Yeah." Telsa walked over to the bathroom sink with his mug for a glass of water. "Just a lot of shooting and stuff… things that happen in the city…" Good thing the manager didn't hear the panic… or we would have been so busted.

"And so, um… want some…" Aaroniero skittered over to the closet and picked up the icky suitcase. "Suitcase breakfast?"

"Um…Not right now. Hungry. But we have Tia's Rations in Nnoitra's matched luggage." Szayel pointed to the smaller trunk of the two. "And I would like that right now, if you don't mind."

"Don't mind at all." Telsa replied with a long yawn. "Now, any idea what we should do?"

"First off..." Szayel threw back the covers and crawled out of bed to get ready for the day. "We need a plan a new plan to finish this mission and we have to double check where Yammy is. I'll do this after i'm dressed and all. Meanwhile, you all can get a few extra winks."

And so, Telsa and Aaroniero turned on the television too wired to try and get any sleep.

"This is a very strange show." Telsa muttered, memorized by the images on the screen. "I don't understand why there are these guys with beards living in a small wooden shack with guns. I don't get it."

"Neither do I." Aaroniero scratched his head trying to make sense of all of this. "What show is this anyhow?"

"Duck something." Tesla was glad he had a hole right through his head so that this...junk would not accumulate inside. "I can't understand a thing they are saying anyhow."

"Me too..." Aaroniero was to tired to try and decode this odd dialect. "Ah...I wanna go outside and sit at the beach and relax."

"And stare at girls..."

"No! That would be rude!" The Fifth Espada cried, offended. "And if you start drooling, I am going to have to slap you."

"What ever..." Telsa muttered, knowing the Nnoitra wouldn't let him get hurt. "Now, enjoy the actually comprehensive commercials."

Author's note: Yes... It is the show you are thinking of that Telsa and Aaroniero are watching. I personally don't watch it, but I thought it would be funny if thy did. I just watched a trailer and was like..."What the hell is this?!" Pardon me.
