Nnoitra gulped when he saw Tesla kiss Kyoko. "Te-Te-Te-Te-Te..." he could only studder. "H-h-h-he kissed her..." Sho said and his mouth dropped open. Nnoitra immediately rushed out of the room. "Tesla!" he screamed as he dashed out. "I...I can't believe this..." Sho said. "Dude, you ok?" he called after Nnoitra.
Nnoitra yelled in response, "No! No I'm not fucking alright!" Sho sighed."I'm sorry but...look at it this way: If you truly love someone, you'll let them go. And whatever makes them happy, should make you happy." he said looking back at them. "They look so happy, can't you tell?" he asked.
Kyoko couldn't help but feel like her life was complete, and nothing could ruin this moment. She held him tighter and deepened the kiss to prevent it from ending anytime soon. Tesla felt the squeeze and nearly giggled. Kyoko felt him almost giggle and decided to bring him even closer, just cause.
"I just realized, Sho...I think I love him too much to let him go...I--" Just then he was interuppted with a beep from his Espada Pager. He pulled it out and checked it. "That stupid Soul Reaper we were looking for is here. Great timing." Tesla's Fraccione pager went off, and he pulled from the kiss. "Uh...oh..." he said
"Wh-what's going on?" Kyoko asked Tesla. "That Soul Reaper I told you about...he's here." he said, then rushed over to Nnoitra, "I'm sorry!" Nnoitra looked down at him. "Come on." he said, plainly, and rather unenthusiastically. Tesla wondered what was wrong.
Kyoko forced a smile onto her face and watched him leave, and went over to get something to drink. "Well...he'll be back soon..." she said. Nnoitra and Tesla sped off into the sky before Nnoitra saw Tesla speed back.
"Tesla, where the hell do you think you're going?!" Nnoitra yelled.
"To get Kyoko!"
"Why are we getting her?!?" he yelled, exceptionally loud.
"We need to show her what exists...in this world."
"But she won't be able to see it!"
"Yes she will. She has a small strand of spiritual energy."
He sped back to the dance and grabbed Kyoko's hand.
"You can come with me."
Really?" she asked. Sho came behind them. "You aren't taking her anywhere dangerous, are you?" he asked protectively. "I'll be fine, Sho." Kyoko said to him. She still wondered why she was going with them.
"I'll protect her with my life. She'll come back with not a scratch on her." He grabbed her and sped back to Nnoitra.
Nnoitra peered at her.
"You better not die on us girl." he said, menacingly. "We're gonna go fight...but don't worry. You'll just stand to the side and watch." Tesla said, then smiled.
"I...uh...ok..." she said in response to both of them. "Be safe...Kyoko..." Sho said quietly. Kyoko really felt like a third wheel at the moment.
Just then, a very big Soul Reaper appeared in front of them. He had a bulky muscular frame, and spiky black hair.
Nnoitra smiled.
"Who are you, bitch?" he asked.
"My name is Kenpachi Zaraki, and I am the captain of Squad 11." He replied.
Tesla stood off to the side with Kyoko. "Just stay here. Just stay here, and Nnoitra and I'll take care of everything."
Kenpachi looked at Kyoko. "Who's that one? Don't look like a Hollow."
Tesla frowned.
"Don't mess with her. She's here to watch."
Sho meanwhile was at the dance, as Shoko ran up to him. "Sho, your fans are eager to dance with you..." she said. "Ah..." he said, still thinking about Kyoko. "What's wrong, Sho?" she asked. "I, uh, I'm just worried about Kyoko" he said not looking at her. "What's wrong with her?" she asked. "She went off with her boyfriend for something I don't really know, but I fear it's dangerous" he said looking down.
Nnoitra in the meantime took the first hit, pulling out Santa Teresa from it's hilt and hitting Kenpachi. Kenpachi dodged and punched Nnoitra in the stomach. He only bent and smiled down at Kenpachi.
"Fail..." he whispered.
Tesla charged toward the man with a roar, but Kenpachi only nailed him across the face, making him fly feet back. Kyoko gasped, but knew she probably shouldn't say anything. "Aw, hope he's ok..." she whispered where nobody could hear her.
Tesla got up, mouth bleeding like crazy, and charged toward him again. Nnoitra, however, stopped him.
"Stop Tesla. Santa Teresa can take care of this. Go protect your little girlfriend."
Tesla's sword struck Kenpachi, knocking him down, and making him bleed from a large gash in his chest. Kyoko turned a bit red when Nnoitra said "your little girlfriend" but tried to not give it much mind.
Kenpachi only flinched, which surprised Nnoitra. "Think a little cut will stop me?" he said, then stabbed his long sword into Nnoitra's stomach. Tesla watched in horror as Nnoitra fell to the ground, his stomach bleeding terribly.
"NNOITRA-SAMAAA!" he screamed, "Nnoitra-sama!"
He ran over to him and checked his pulse. Nnoitra slapped him away. "Go away, Tesla! You don't care about me, you care about her!!" This cut Tesla hard.
Kyoko heard what Nnoitra said to Tesla and made her feel like crap. Had she gotten in the way of their relationship? Of course she did. She wanted to just dissapear now. She knew that Tesla really did care about Nnoitra and Nnoitra was lying with what he said. She felt tears tugging at her eyes and held them back.
Tesla rolled Nnoitra over. "I used to love you so much..." he began, "...I used to love you so much and you used to be my number one prince in the world...but...you pushed me aside everytime I tried to tell you how I feel...so I...I..."
He started to cry, his tears falling on Nnoitra's bloody stomach. "P-Please don't die, Nnoitra sama..." he started to sob over his stomach. Nnoitra patted his back. "You used to love me...? I...I...won't die. And I...lo--"
Kenpachi grabbed Tesla's collar, and lifted him up. "Is this little love story over yet?" he asked. "He...he's dying" Kyoko said. She knew it would hurt Tesla, bad. She really wanted to do something about this, but if she did one thing, she'd probably mess everything up. Then Kenpachi lifted up Tesla from Nnoitra and made her real mad cause she knew Tesla was going through a lot in the past minutes and Kenpachi is just mocking him really.
Tesla tried to hit him, without success. "How...dare...you...hurt...Nnoitra-s-sama!!" he cried. Kenpachi was about to slug him in the face when he felt a hand stop him.
It was Nnoitra's. He was lying on the ground, his hand clutching Kenpachi's arm. "Te-Tesla..." he groaned. Kenpachi, out of surprise, dropped Tesla to the ground.
Tesla landed with an oof, and looked up at Nnoitra. The blood was spurting out of his wound, but he was fighting hard. A little while later...he realized what for. Not for himself. For Tesla.
Nnoitra was pushing Kenpachi back with all of his might. "I...love you, Tesla!" Tesla gasped, and tears came to his eyes. "Nnoi-Nnoi-Nnoitra-sama...what? Please...please don't tell me that!"
"YOU HEAR WHAT YOU FUCKING WANT TO HEAR!" Nnoitra yelled, the pain in his stomach talking. Tesla looked over at Kyoko. "But...Ky-Kyoko.."
"The girl won't stop me."
"Uh..." Kyoko said when she heard her name, and looked at Tesla for a moment, then looked away from him. "I probably should leave..." she said to herself. Tesla finally got a second wind and used just enough strength in his legs to kick Kenpachi over. He caught Nnoitra as he was falling.
"Nnoitra-sama..." he whimpered, then turned to Kyoko. "Are you okay?" he aked, teary eyed. Kenpachi looked at Kyoko and smiled. "It's her isn't it?" he said, picking her up by the back of her dress.
"Hey what the-?" she said, and her only natural reaction was to hurt him, so she threw her leg back as hard as she could and kicked him. "Now put me down!" she yelled.
Kenpachi only smiled. "Fiesty, aren't we?" he said. Tesla gaped. "Put her down, monster!" he said, rushing toward him, dropping Nnoitra to the ground as Nnoitra's sadness increased.
He swiftly kicked Kenpachi in his stomach, knocking him down. He caught the flying Kyoko. "I...uh, thanks" she said to Tesla. "Y-you need to get back to Nnoitra, don't worry about me. I'm just fine." she said.
Tesla realized he had dropped Nnoitra and gasped. He went back to Nnoitra, and helped him up. "I'm sorry, master!"
"I don't really think I should have come in the first place..." Kyoko told herself. She turned back to Kenpachi. "Don't you dare do anything, uh, stupid...or else" she said trying to sound brave. Kenpachi smiled.
"Oh, don't worry, girl." he said, but was snuck up on by Nnoitra, who hit him with Santa Teresa.
Kyoko covered her mouth and smiled. Unexpected, she thought. She thought he wasn't feeling good enough to fight, guess she was wrong. She ran over to Tesla. "H-he's ok!" she said smiling.
Tesla smiled. "I know...it's because...he's my Nnoitra-sama! He won't fall with just a single hit...!" Tears came to his eyes, this time from happiness. Kyoko smiled back at him. "That's true, I can see" she said.
Tesla, without warning, began to bawl, as he watched Nnoitra try his best to ward off Kenpachi. Kenpachi began to gain hit after hit after hit, and Nnoitra was bleeding from nearly every vein in his body.
"Nnoitra-sama...d-don't give up...please..." he whispered, dashing into battle with him. Nnoitra shouted, "RUN, TESLA!" as he struck Kenpachi again. Tesla desperatedly cried out, tears flying, "I can't leave you, Nnoitra-sama! I just can't!"
Kenpachi, seeing Tesla fly toward him, stuck out his sword, and Tesla, not stopping, ran straight into it. It dove into his stomach, and a strangled sounded cry escaped Tesla's lips as blood began to pour out of them.
"Gahaha..." he moaned, as he fell, blood staining his clothes. "TEEEESLLAAAA!" Nnoitra shouted, trying to run over to him, but Kenpachi blocked his path. "Certainly. He is your reason. Your weakness. For you to die, he first must die, and vice versa."
Kyoko was speechless as she watched this...this...this horror scene play out before her. She wished she could do something about it, but what could she do? She was just a human and couldn't possibly do anything that would do much effect. She didn't want to watch Tesla go through this kind of pain, Nnoitra either, and really wished just to slip away.
Then she got an idea, although it may not do much help, she still wanted to give it a try. She remembered that for some reason she didn't remember, she brought along her curse dolls and things to make a curse doll. Normally when she used them, or did something to the curse dolls, it would happen to the actual person although it had a bit different effects.
She took out the Sho one and held it in her hands, smiling a bit, then put it away. She then got out the materials needed to make new ones, and made 3: A Tesla one, A Nnoitra one, and a Kenpachi one. "This better work..." she said to herself. A lot of times if she did something to the curse dolls, it would happen in real life. "Ok here we go..." she said as she picked up the Kenpachi doll and clawed it's head with a needle.
As she did, she looked up at Kenpachi with an evil smile, and a dark and forbidden aura around her, that would send chills up anyone's spine.
Kenpachi was towering over Tesla, ready for the kill, when he felt an intense pain in his head, that made him clutch it. Nnoitra saw this and rushed toward him, striking him down. Spotting bleeding Tesla on the ground, he Sonido'ed over to him, and picked him up, nearly crying a little bit.
Tesla coughed and shivered, and pressed himself against Nnoitra's broad chest. "Nnoitra-samaaa...Nn-Nnoitra-sama..." he moaned, in pain. "Just hang in there, Tesla, this is almost over..."
"Hmm..." Kyoko thought. She picked up both the Nnoitra and Tesla dolls and wondered "If i had a bandage and I put it over them, would the real ones feel any better? Only thing is, I don't have one..." she looked back at the stuff she made curse dolls with, found some cloth and wrapped it around them. "Wonder what this'll do...might heal them a bit" she said.
While Nnoitra tried really carefully to hit Kenpachi without putting Tesla in danger, he noticed that his stomach wound was slowing down with bleeding...and that it stopped aching.
"Hunh?" he questioned, loudly. Tesla clutched his stomach. "Nnoitra-sama...? My...my...stomach...it feels...a little better...!"
"Oh my gosh it's working!" Kyoko said a bit too loudly. Tesla looked over at Kyoko, and noticed the dolls in her hand. "Nnoitra-sama, I think Kyoko is the one healing us!" he said, happily.
"Well I didn't actually think they would work..." she said quietly. "How is that? She's a human! That's impossible!" Nnoitra nearly shouted. Tesla shook his head. "No, Nnoitra-sama...she's something more...even if it's not by a lot."
"S-something, more?" she asked him. Tesla glanced over at her. "Yeah...I can't quite put my finger on it."
"More than human? No. More than what a human can possess, yes." Tesla guessed. "Hmmm...interesting..." Kyoko said smiling, a happier aura surrounding herself and it would make anyone happy to see it.
Nnoitra tugged at Tesla's hair. "Focus." he said. Tesla nodded, and looked at Kenpachi, who was standing, probably waiting for their conversation to end. "Are you guys finished?" he inquired.
Kyoko smiled. "If that worked, this'll do wonders" she said, as she grabed the Kenpachi doll and ripped it's head off. It didn't work as she anticipated, but his neck did snap.
He collapsed in pain and random Soul Society medics took him and put him on a stretcher, to be carried away.
Nnoitra and Tesla blinked. "Kyoko..." Tesla muttered. Tesla dashed over to her and hugged her, tight, although he was still bleeding and a little bit got on her dress. "Oh, Kyoko, you did it, you did it, you did it!"
"Oh my gosh...I did!" she said smiling and hugging him back, not realizing the blood getting on her dress. She then looked down and gasped. "Oh no...I hope and can wash that out...before I have to return it..." she said.
Nnoitra walked over to the both of them. "All you have to do is run it under hot water. That's how blood gets out. Trust me, I know."
