CHAPTER FIVE
HELLO ONE AND ALL! It's me; the one… the only…(sort of) KIWI! With another chapter of Gin's Games!
Woo! School sure is busy! I've been working on schoolwork mostly, but I just had to write this chapter. Sorry It took so long.
So… Bleach: yea, s'not mine. Wish it was. 'Tisn't. A shame.
Anyway, let the games… begin!
"So let me get this straight," he said.
"You started a prank war with Gin Ichimaru."
She nodded.
"As in, the second commander of Aizen's army."
More nodding.
"As in, the second most powerful person in Las Noches. Because he pulled a prank on you."
Nod, nod.
"…And you made a persimmon explode in his face?"
"It was pretty awesome," she said.
Grimmjow glared at Kai. "I can't believe I'm helping you with this," he growled. Kai's face lit up. "That's 'cause you're my favorite cousin, Jow-kun!" she bear-hugged him.
Squeaky-squeeeaaak! Darn. She forgot about that.
SQUEAK! Grimmjow shoved her away.
"That's Grimmjow. NOT 'Jow-kun', dammit! …And so this … squeaking … is a result of Gin's revenge for you blowing up a persimmon in his face?" "Yup," Kai said happily. "And now we're gonna team up and get revenge on him!" She rubbed her hands together and smiled deviously, while bouncing in her seat (squee-squee-squee-squee-!). Grimmjow exhaled a breath that was too angry to be classified as a sigh.
"You're insane," he said.
"But smart," she said. "And that's what counts now. …But first we have to find a way to stop this squeaking! I mean, how did Gin even…" Kai shook her head and trailed off in disbelief, emitting a slightly creaky-squeaking noise where her hair brushed her back and shoulders.
"I think Gin has Sayzel, the mad-scientist Octova Espada, siding with him. Between them, they should be able to make something that would do this," she explained to her cousin.
"Whatever," he said. "So are we gonna plot up something to get revenge? I suppose you want to do something other than just punching him in the face –" Typical Grimmjow, Kai thought, "– or are you gonna tell Aizen about it and have him put a stop to –"
"NO!" Kai shouted, her words mixed with squeals from the squeak-curse put on her when she jumped up.
"That's giving UP! I'll never do that! I'm gonna win this prank war, if it's the last thing I ever DO! …I'll show him who's the prank genius," she added the last part under her breath, causing Grimmjow to roll his eyes. He had watched quietly as she gave her short emphatic speech, grimacing slightly at the 'last thing I ever do' part. After all – if the 'prank war' war didn't last forever, of course – this may well end up with someone dead …
Grimmjow just hoped it wasn't him.
"Okay, so make a plan already," he said, becoming annoyed. Grimmjow was here only for backup and prank setting-up. Planning and strategizing were not his strong suits. He wished Kai just needed him to beat someone up … though she was fully capable of doing that herself. She wasn't the seventh espada for nothing, after all.
"Okay, so, if the eighth espada is really plotting with Gin, then we should get him too, somehow," Kai started, thinking aloud. She started to pace the room (Squeak. Squeak. Squeak. Squeak.). "We could always tamper with his potions or experiments somehow…" "I can't believe you and me are really going up against Granz and Gin," Grimmjow muttered. Even if it was only in a prank war, it was still dangerous…
Kai suddenly stood upright and snapped her fingers. "That's it!" she shouted. "We need more manpower, or brainpower. I'll be right back!" She ran, squeaking, from the room.
Grimmjow stared after her for a few seconds, then leaned back on the couch, somewhat happy to be left in peace for once.
Of course, he was more than happy to get back at Gin; after all, Gin had pranked him, too. He just didn't think it would be wise to get even with him, seeing as Gin was the second in command. However, he felt better if it was both him and Kai doing it – Kai had pointed the finger of blame at Grimmjow for something she had done more than once. He would feel justified if he got to do the same thing this time.
He grinned.

Squeak!
Apacci, Mila-rose, and Sun-sun (Tia Hallibel's fraccion) along with Lilynette and Starrk, were gathered in Kai's room. Grimmjow stared his cousin down. "What?" Kai said innocently.
"Why are we here?' Apacci interrupted.
"Why am I here?" Starrk grumbled. Lilynette kicked his ankle.
"And why do you … squeak?" Sun-sun asked, staring at Kai and covering her mouth with her sleeve.
"Well, you see…" Kai started.
XXX - ONE EXPLANATION LATER
They all stared at her.
"So… why am I here?" Starrk repeated.
Lilynette, on the other hand, jumped up on the table. "All right!" she cried. "This'll be really fun! And Starrk, you're helping," she ordered. He frowned. What he'd really like to be doing was taking a nap. This was so troublesome…
Mila-rose looked unsure whether or not Kai's plan seemed like a good idea. Sun-sun was still covering her mouth with her sleeve and displaying an unreadable expression, and Apacci was going to say that they really should ask Tai before doing something like this, but Grimmjow interrupted.
"Like I said before, you're insane," he said to Kai. Then he faced Tia's fraccion. "Okay, I guess you guys have to help us now." "…And don't go telling anyone about this," Kai chimed in. Grimmjow acted like she hadn't spoken at all. "It looks like Liltnette's in too, so that just leaves…"
Starrk frowned. There was a short silence in which everyone stared at him. Then –
"OW, Lilynette! Okay, I'll help! …For heaven's sake, I can't believe I've been dragged into this…" Kai figured Starrk would mostly lay around and let Lilynette do the hyperactive work. That was okay, though. As long as she had their support.
Kai –the seventh Espada–, along with the first and sixth Espada, and also with the third Espada's three fraccion and Lilynette; they made a team worth reckoning with. Kai was pretty sure they could out-prank Gin and Sayzel.
She smiled. "Well then," she said. Let's get to work!

In the control room, Gin smiled. He had been listening in on their conversation, via the electronics imbedded in Las Noches' wall.
So Kai was getting an army ready, huh? Trying to outmaneuver him. Well, he'd just have to show her that he wasn't someone that could be outmaneuvered!
What he'd have to do is build an army of his own…
And he knew the perfect place to start.

What Nnorita was thinking was: Screw this. Why the hell should I help you?
What Nnotita had said was: "Of course I'll help you, Gin-sama."
Not that messing with the other espada wouldn't be fun; it's just that Nnorita would rather do it by himself. Especially after Gin had pulled a prank on him. Without going into details, let's just say it had something to do with remote-control magnets being implanted into his Arrancar uniform, causing him to randomly be pulled and smack things close to him, or become stuck to the walls.
Not to mention that the magnets eventually ripped through his uniform while he was trying to become 'unglued' from the walls, giving him the need to run half-naked through the halls of Las Noches and back to his room.
Nnorita gritted his teeth. He was defiantly going to get back at Gin for that somehow.
But for now…
"Great. I'm gonna get te ei'th espada 'n we can all thinka ways to mess with Kai 'n the others." Gin walked away.
This was gonna be interesting…
Yea! I felt bad about not actually including a major prank pulled by either Gin or Kai, so I included what happened to Nnorita instead. It just popped into my head :) .
Remember, if you want to suggest a prank or comment on anything, just REVIEW! It makes me happeeeee…
Ciao for now! -KIWI
