OMG I failed this story...BIG FAT FAIL!!! You can still read if you want but I think i just epic failed this. WARNING: KARAOKE by Halibel
Excuse me while I go hang myself for starting out great then dropping off...
As the drinking game continued, more people gathered round to see the battle. Talk of the orange-haired kid trying to best the emo kid spread around the park area bringing a flock of adults and teens around to see how long Ulquiorra could keep his drunken level down. Ichigo was determined. He was going to see Ulquiorra lose it.
"You work for a tyrant!"
Sip
"You know a fox man!"
Sip
"You, ah, you…er…um…"
"Have a four tattooed on my chest?" Ulquiorra said taking another sip. Now he was just taunting Ichigo. Ichigo pointed at him.
"You're really trying my patience!!" He said. Ulquiorra rolled his eyes.
"Then quit with this game, already. Admit defeat."
"NEVER!!!" Ichigo said. "You know a freakishly tall man!"
Sip
"You're best friend is a muscle beach type!"
Orihime sipped this time too. Ichigo looked at her.
"Who?"
"Tatsuki!" She beamed. Ichigo scratched his head. He had sort of forgotten about her. Ulquiorra sighed but he hiccupped too. Ichigo's eyes widened and a smile spread across his face. Had he got him? Ulquiorra looked at Ichigo.
"Sorry about that. Did your hope increase in level?"
"SOOOOO COOL!!!!" The girls squealed again.
"That's one badass dude." The guys all nodded. Ichigo stamped his feet yet again.
"Stop acting so high and mighty! Why are you even here?!"
"To celebrate of course." Ulquiorra said lifting a shot. The crowd cheered. Ichigo pointed at him.
"I. Will. Get. You. Drunk."
"Bring it on, Strawberry." Ulquiorra said raising a shot.
EPIC! We'll continue later. Hey Halibel and Starrk!!!! Halibel trudged along next to Starrk. They had done very little, but now Halibel had a big green leprechaun's hat on her head and a leprechaun belt around her waist. She smiled at the items.
"Thanks a lot Starrk! These are cool!" She said. Starrk flicked the hat.
"It suits you. I like the shirt you got me. I Heart Irish Girls. Very funny." Starrk said though Halibel could recognize the sarcasm in his voice.
"I could have gotten you the one that said I Heart Irish Boys." She said.
They walked along in silence. Then they heard a hearty laugh.
"Starrk? Is that you? Gracing the humans with your Primera presence?"
Starrk stopped. He knew that voice. He turned around to see Shunsui the eighth captain behind him. Starrk smiled.
"Oh my gosh! Is that you Shunsui! I haven't seen you in ages!! How have you been?" Starrk said walking to the jolly bastard. Shunsui lifted a bottle of beer.
"I've been doin' fine since I came down to celebrate."
"I haven't done much drinking. I'm with the lady, you know."
Shunsui nodded. Halibel clenched her teeth and kicked Starrk in his 'do not touch zone'. He fell down.
"Oh. I'm sorry Starrk. I thought you were Kool Aid Man. I don't like him much. He gives me nightmares, you know."
"Damn!!! You kicked me in my-"
"Tights" Shunsui said chuckling. Halibel sniggered with him. Starrk tried to stand up but failed.
"Shunsui, was it? Why don't you take care of my companion? Bye."
Shunsui helped Starrk to his feet.
"You okay?"
"N-no. It hurts to s-stand…" He whimpered. Shunsui laughed at him.
Halibel ventured off on her own. She needed to find Nnoitra anyway. Who knew what he was doing? What indeed. Nnoitra was busy stirring up trouble like a good Espada. Grimmjow, in his drunken state, had convinced Nnoitra to get out of his gigai and blow shit up. Grimmjow was right behind him to. Nnoitra aimed his cero at the balloon. He smiled. Grimmjow stopped him with a push. Nnoitra grabbed his collar.
"EY! I was gonna blow up that up!!"
"I know! It would be so funny if you *whisper,whisper*"
Nnoitra smiled.
"That would be hilarious."
"Do it." Grimmjow snickered uncontrollably. Nnoitra snickered with him. He saw Halibel in the crowd. She hadn't seen him yet. Good. He looked at the blimp.
"IMA FIRIN MAH LAZER!!!!!!!!!" He said as his cero shot from his mouth. The blimp exploded and came down with a crash. Halibel looked to see the fiery blimp headed straight for a lone little boy who didn't try to run out of the way like everybody else. Halibel quickly sprinted over to the kid and dove, scooping him up, and sliding out of the way of the blimp. It landed on the ground and spread a small fire. Halibel gave the child to his mother who thanked her over and over. Halibel stormed over to Nnoitra and grabbed his ear and twisted.
"What the hell do you think you're doing!?" She snapped. Nnoitra took a step back.
"Sorry, babe. I couldn't resist firin' mah lazer."
"I can't believe you…" Halibel shook her head. Nnoitra smiled. Halibel punched him straight across the face.
"You are so childish! You always try to ruin everything!!" She said starting to lose her cool. Nnoitra just blinked. He didn't understand, obviously. She poked his chest.
"You're so destructive! You're an unbelievable sexist! You do stupid shit like this! Why do I like you?!" She said before turning away stomping off. Nnoitra blinked. Did he just hear her right? She liked him? He held his head in shame. She probably didn't like him much right now…He looked at Grimmjow passed out on a car. He looked where Halibel had been. She was gone in the crowd now. He sat down in the street and sighed.
"I am such an idiot…" He said putting his face in his hands.
Halibel kept stomping until she saw Yammy outside of a dance club. He had two girls sitting on his bicep as he flexed. The girls giggled enthusiastically. Halibel raised a brow at him.
"What are you doing by yourself?"
"Me? It's almost dark, you're a girl, and you're alone. So, who should be asking whom why they're alone?" Yammy said. Halibel shook her head.
"Don't start with me!" She stamped. Yammy smiled.
"This club belongs to Szayel. You should go inside and have a good time. Aaroniero's in there too."
Halibel smiled and pat Yammy on his chest as she went inside of the club. Aaroniero was on stage dancing with three girls while Szayle had switched to the job of MC. Halibel walked over to him. He msiled at her and handed him a drink.
"Here, have a drink." He said handed her a martini. Halibel waved her hand. That was the last thing she needed. Szayel put the drink down and handed her an Incredible Hulk. Halibel eyed him.
"You look like you need something." He said. She took it and gulped it down quickly. It burned her throat. She sputtered.
"You okay, Halibel?"
"Yeah, no burn can compare to the pain I feel here." She said putting her hand over her heart. Szayel frowned and stroked her hair.
"Poor baby. You wanna' sing about it?"
Yet again Szayel received another look from the busty blonde/ Szayel handed her a microphone. She looked at it. A little part of her wanted to take it. A mental image of Nnoitra came up in her mind, and she snatched the mic right out of his hands. Szayel clapped and took a speaker mic.
"I'm cutting the music! Live Performance from one of my closest friends! Everyone put your hands together for Halibel!! She will sing…"
"Heartbreaker by Pink" Halibel said making her way to the stage. Szayel smiled his creeper smile again.
"Ooh la la. I feel bad for that man. Do your best Bel-chan." Szayel said putting the music on. Halibel looked at the crowd as the beat started.
But I will cut off there cuz I'm evil! LULZ. Back to the contest. Ulquiorra was done with two table of shots. He was still good to go. He just yawned. Ichigo shook his head.
"No way…No one can drink that many without dying or being drunk! You're…you're…unbelievable!" He said.
"Can we go now? It's getting late, and I'm late to the meeting point."
"Where are you meeting?" Orihime asked with big, bright eyes. Ulquiorra looked at her.
"Szayel owns a club down here. In fact, I do believe Halibel is performing now." He said. Orihime jumped out of her chair.
"Ooh!!!! Let's go! Let's go see her sing!!!!"
Everyone followed Orihime to the club. It was the only club that had a lot of people around it. That's how she found it. Ulquiorra was about to start walking towards the club, but Ichigo put a hand on his shoulder.
"What is it?" Ulquiorra asked.
"How could you drink so much without getting drunk? You have to tell me."
"Simple. I've been drunk for the longest. I just have more control than Nnoitra and Grimmjow."
Ichigo's jaw dropped. Ulquiorra had been drunk the entire time. Ulquiorra shrugged and headed towards the club. When he arrived Halibel had just started singing.
"I keep thinkin' bout that little sparkle in your eye
Is it a light from the angels or your Devil deep inside?
What about the way you say you love me all the time?
Are you liftin' me up to Heaven just to drop me down the line?
There's a ring around my finger
But will you change your mind?
And you tell that I'm beautiful
But that could be a lie!"
Nnoitra wandered around carrying Grimmjow trying to find his little Bel-san. He was a bit displeased with himself for upsetting her, but he was glad he finally had an answer to the age old question, does Halibel love Nnoitra? He sighed with relief. He raised a brow when he saw a crowd of people encircling a club called Fortinbras. He tapped his chin.
"Fortinbras? Isn't that Szayel's…? Oh god no." He said. He walked near the bar to see what the commotion was about. He pushed his way inside where he saw his Bel-san on stage singing in a beautiful voice and hopping around like a professional singer. His heart jumped but instantly broke in two when she glared at him and sang,
"Are you a heartbreaker?
Maybe you want me for the ride
What if I'm fallin' for a heartbreaker?
And everything is just a lie
I won't be livin' here alive
And I won't be livin' here alive, no!
Temporary happiness is like waiting for the knife
'Cause I'm always watchin' for someone to show the darker side
So maybe I'll sit back and just enjoy this all for now
Watch it all play out, see if you really stick around
But there's always this one question
That keeps me up at night
Are you my greatest love
Or disappointment in my life?" Halibel only sang with more intensity as the song went on finishing strong ending with the line 'I won't be livin' here alive!' She took a bow as everyone cheered happily for her outstanding performance. Grimmjow clapped too. Nnoitra looked at him.
"When did you wake up?!"
"As soon as I heard Halibel's singing! She OWNED you in song!"
Nnoitra looked down. His crocodile smile turned to a crocodile frown. Halibel jumped off the stage talking to other people, but every now and then she would glare at him. Yammy and Aaroniero came to his side.
"Man, I'm so glad I'm not you." Aaroniero said shaking his head.
"Me too. OUCH." Yammy laughed. Nnoitra sank a little bit with each comment.
"Yoohoo! Ova' here!" Stark called from a table. They all looked at him.
"Hey! Have you been here all this time?" Yammy asked. Starrk nodded.
"I had a feeling this would happen, so I invited my drinking buddy here."
Shunsui waved.
"Don't worry, Nnoitra. From what I've heard, Halibel is just like my Nanao. She'll come around eventually." He said raising his glass to him. In a way, that only made him feel worse. Ulquiorra put a hand on Nnoitra from behind. Nnoitra looked at him.
"That's tough." Ulquiorra said. Nnoitra groaned. Even Ulquiorra pitied him. Now he knew he was a pathetic screw up. Grimmjow looked at Ulquiorra.
"Are you drunk?"
"Yep." Ulquiorra said. Grimmjow pat his back.
"Good going!"
"I know." Ulquiorra smiled slyly (YES! He smiled!).
"ALRIGHT EVERYONE! CLUB FORTINBRAS IS CLOSED, SO GET OUT!" Szayel announced over the loud speakers. Everyone left with smiled on their faces. The Espada remained inside. Halibel flipped her hair and walked past Nnoitra. The other Espada men snickered. Nnoitra felt lower than low. Szayel sighed.
"Let's go home." He said opening a Garganta in the middle of the club. They went through. The sky looked the same in Hueco Mundo.
"We're late." Ulquiorra said. They all looked at him with glares. Aizen and Gin stood at the door in their pj's. Aizen had silky red ones and Gin had pajamas with foxes on them. Typical.
"*yawn* You're late, my dear Espada." Aizen said.
"Get ta' bed, right now!" Gin said with a smile. The Espada all marched in to get ready for bed. They had had a long day and a great time. Well…not Nnoitra. Aizen stopped them though.
"What's the meaning of this?" Szayel asked.
"What did you all take out of this holiday?" Aizen asked.
"St. Patrick's is the best time for getting together with friends to go drink." Starrk said with a grin.
"Never trust men." Halibel said with a glare.
"It's good for meeting up with old…acquaintances." Ulquiorra said plainly.
"Getting drunk is awesome! Then you wake up to such drama!!!" Grimmjow laughed evilly.
"Mmm…letting humans party in a club can get you some good things." Szayel lifted up a bag filled with phone numbers from men and women alike.
"You can make all kinds of friends." Aaroniero smiled.
"Girls like guys who can benchpress them." Yammy laughed heartily.
Aizen nodded but seemed disappointed. He looked at Nnoitra.
"Nnoitra, you haven't said anything. What did you take out of this?"
"Umm…St. Patrick's Day isn't just about getting drunk with friends. You can learn interesting things about other people about their likes and dislikes. You grow closer of farther apart from them. You can hurt them if you do something wrong. I learned that the way to grow closer to people is not with stupid parties or anything like that. I should grow up. I should apologize to Tia Halibel for my foolishness." He said looking at the person in question. Halibel looked at him.
"How do I know you're not a heartbreaker?" She said with a soft smile.
"Well, you're too good too be true and I can't take my eyes off you."
Nnoitra smiled back. Aizen and Gin awed. The other walked past them.
"Get a room."
"This is not Hueco Drama."
"You two sicken me."
Everyone went inside for bed. Halibel and Nnoitra started over.
(sounds from downstairs) GAK! (neck snap)
OMG! I tried to stop him but he wouldn't listen!!!
O...I decided not to kill myself but I will be in shame for awhile
Don't tell me how bad it was...I KNOW it had NOTHING to do with St. Patty's day AT ALL
It was just an excuse for me to make a NnoiHali story!!! Happy??? IT'S THE TRUTH!!!!!
