"And what?" Yylfordt wasn't sure what Lady Harribel just told him. Thankfully, she saved him from playing chess with Donori who was very confused about the 'Yylfordt Granz' was actually Yylfordt Granz disguised as 'Yylfordt Granz'. "Did you say you want me to go…to…Soul Society?"

"Yes. For the time being." Tia replied, not thinking of anyone else sane enough to do the task. Even though Yyfordt danced around in various costumes, she soon realized that he was one of the more sane Numeroes, like Telsa. Sadly, Nnoitra would never let her send Telsa to Soul Society and if she sent Yylfordt, part of her debt to Szayel was payed off.

Well, to be honest with herself, she did not really owe him anything as she considered what he did to give her the Hirugoyku repayment of a life-debt. But figured she should flatter his, 'Big Ass I Owe You' demand. "I promise to collect you from Soul Society once I figure this out."

"But…Why do they want someone?" Yylfordt still didn't get it.

"They want one of us to hold onto to make sure that we return him." She nodded in Yumchika's direction. He was standing on the ground next to the throne, Mel-Rose keeping an eye on him. "Which I understand and I-"

"What will they do if we don't send someone?" Yylfordt didn't want to leave Ciricci.

"Well…" Tia sat back in the throne and sighed. "That is where my hands are tied. If we don't send someone, they will invade us and I don't want that to happen."

"…When do I leave?"

"Please, pack your bags and return within the hour."

"Can…I bring my girlfriend?" Yylfordt hoped that the Soul Reapers wouldn't mind a second 'hostage'.

"No. Ciricci is unbalanced and is liable to start a fight. As much as I wish to send her with you, I cannot."

"Oh…Okay…" Yylfordt bowed deeply and turned to leave. "But can I call her on the phone?"

"Granz, we are not supposed to have a phone…but I am sure that when Aaroniero returns, he will let the two of you talk."

"And… Lady Harribel, why do you address me as Granz and my brother by his first name?"
Tia frowned a little. It was a valid question, but she didn't really want to hurt his feelings. "Unfortunately, I do not know you as well as I do Szayel. I hope to get to know all of my subjects better in the time to come, however."

"I will go pack then." Yylfordt disappeared from the throne room just as Ulquiorra walked in with his clipboard. "So, you decided to send Granz, did you?"

"Yes." Tia replied, satisfied with her choice. "I did. Now, what may I do for you, Ulquiorra?"

"I was looking over the…" He glanced down at his notes, "I see that you have an appointment in the dinning room later this-"

"Ulquiorra. I don't have time to meet Grimmjow right now." Tia snapped, scowling down at the First Espada. "I am too busy and I know he and you mean well by trying to get me to relax, but I have to go deliver Soul Society, Granz. So if you don't mind…just get on with the ration list. Who was in need of food today and who was food today?"

Ulquiorra sighed and began his report, not wanting to tell Grimmjow that their plan failed.

"So." Grimmjow grinned at Orihime who was giving him a weird look from the student desk she was forced to sit in for this lecture. "Explain your power."

"Um…Grimmjow, can I just stand up?"

"…Okay… " He sighed, seeing that Orihime wasn't liking his teaching style. "Please explain your powers in detail, would you?"

"I.. I don't know that much about it…" She honestly admitted, activating her power to reveal her small fairy friends who were excited about training. "Them."

"Holy- They're fairies!" Grimmjow cried, jumped away from the six floating things. "Okay! We can deal with that!"

"Well…" Orihime looked at Lilly who laughed at her. "She'll explain."

"Of course." Lilly flew up and perched on Grimmjow's nose, making him flinch. "Miss Orihime's power controlled by her heart and becomes stronger along with it; depending on how much she cares for someone. She can also heal injuries and use Tsbasuki to attack opponents. And as if right now, her powers are still growing. Just like we are!"

"Can you get off my nose?" Grimmjow asked as nicely as possible. "You're gonna make me sneeze."

"Sure thing!" Lilly took off and flitted over to Orihime. "Now, we want to show you what we can do."

Grimmjow looked around the small room, "Where?"

"Why don't we go Hollow hunting?!" Orihime cried, running over to the door and throwing it open to reveal the empty hallway beyond. "It would be fun!"

"Hol…Hollow hunting?" Grimmjow wasn't going to try and hold her back, but maybe she was rushing into-

Orihime is talented… Ulquiorra's voice reminded him.

"Yeah…Yeah…" Grimmjow frowned and followed the young woman into the hallway. "We need to go ask Tia first and we can go hollow hunting after that. And if something happens, I'll be right-"

"I don't need you to step in!" Orihime turned on him angrily, causing him to falter. "I can fight my own fights!"

"Yes…" Grimmjow held his next words inside. "You can. Shall we go then?"

Orihime smiled sweetly before spinning around to continue down the hallway, singing.

"Lady Harribel…." Yylfordt staggered into the throne room forty-five minutes later; a small suitcase in hand and Ciricci hanging onto his neck. "She doesn't understand…"

Tia sat forwards in her throne to stare down the two of them, "Sanderwicci, let Granz go. You may not come with him."

"Awe, darlin'…." Ciricci drawled, making her eyes as large and cute as possible. "I can't leave my brave Cowboy!"

"Sanderwicci." Tia wanted to get this trade over as fast as possible. "We understand. However, you may not come with him."

"But why, hun?"

"I do not wish to discuss details at the present time." Tia snapped, growing ever impatient with Ciricci. "Say your good-byes and leave."

"Awe…" Circci pouted, wrapping her arms tighter around Yylfordt's neck. "I don't wanna say farewell…I'll miss my man. Anyhow, I 'oppse I should bid him farewell….after all.." She corrected her statement seeing Tia glare down at her. "And…" Ciricci wrapped her arms around Yylfordt's waist and kissed him, almost dropping him on the floor. "Hun… I'll miss ya."

"I'll miss you too." He kissed her back, savoring the moment. "Little Darlin'."

"Awe… You are so kind, Rhet!"

"Are you two done kissing yet?" Tia grouched, just wanting to get this mess over with.

"No." Yylfordt told her, kissing Ciricci again. "And frankly my dear, I don't give a damn."

Tia rolled her eyes. Could this get any worse or take any longer?

Author's Note: Yep. It just happened. And all will be explained when it comes to Tia's non-existent debt to Szayel. I promise.
