Authors note: It is I Shirotsuki-Tenchi with another chapter for my lovely story! Before I start with the useless ranting I'll like to thank lamekirby, Chasingyesterday, Ashido Kano, and FrEaKyAoIFaN for their reviews for chapter 5! Now this chapter has some more development into the GrimmUlqui couple but not too much, so please enjoy! I know I do!
Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach, duct tape, handcuffs, any of Szayel's experiments, a dry erase board with a large variety of colored markers and an eraser, an emotional epiphany, an IV, or Linkin Park. I do own my own OC's however and I guess that will have to do.
Day thirty six
Sunday
Dear fucking journal,
Life finally decided to give me a break and went to fuck with someone else. And to that I say yay, though I'm still going through my daily mishaps that just happens to affect me. Like waking up to see a picture of me curled up with my tail and cat ears on my ceiling, bet you can't guess who did that.
So after finding my fraccion sitting and painting another picture of me cuddling with Ulquiorra I finally decided to mess with my fraccion back, though I would have to wait. Don't want her suspecting anything now do we?
So after getting up and cussing her out she started to repaint my room white... yet again. She was almost done when a loud shrill scream was heard from pink freaks wing.
Rushing there followed closely behind by my fraccion I got there just as the rest of the Espada arrived. We looked in his room to see all of his furniture, absolutely everything was either nailed or glued upside down on the ceiling. Even pink freak himself who was tied down in his bed was hanging upside down. How someone had managed to do that while he slept was a complete mystery.
So I laughed at him, a lot. But considering I was now sporting a tail and cat ears I was also being laughed at myself. But with pink freak it was just more funnier, especially considering everyone left him there and returned to breakfast. So we all ate while tuning out his shrill shouts and screams.
It wasn't until he went horse did the spoon go and cut him down. I'm glad that he finally shut up, his voice gets very annoying after 3 hours of constant screeching.
Also it seems that someone really likes my new ears, to the point of stealth petting. Yes I actually do call it that. It has been happening all day and I can't catch whoever it is. I would be just sitting there like normal when I would suddenly feel someone stroking my ears, which startles me. I then would turn around to try to catch them but they had usually disappeared before I turned completely around.
It's so frustrating! It's now getting to the point of driving me insane! And it's making me twitchy, to the point in which I do a quick turn like ever five minutes! It's so fucking annoying!
Also it seems that when someone had turned pink freak's room upside down (quite literally) a few more of his experiments were stolen. Many of them were still untested and I'm curious to see what they do. Hopefully none would find their way to me, I already have to suffer enough with what I currently have.
The next annoying part of my day however was during patrol and training I had both of the fraccion sisters staring at me, especially that Kurosu one. Thankfully they had got out of the habit to glomp me, now all I had to work on was the staring. Do you know how annoying it is to have someone staring at you for hours at a time!? Let me tell you it's not fun.
I did get my fraccion back however for the painting on my wall, having her running until she passed out and then dumping a bucket of freezing cold water. I personally think that was fitting punishment, she hated cold water almost as much as I did.
So to bed I go, with hopes of tomorrow being much more tolerable than today. Though today was pretty mild compared to what I had been enduring lately.
Day thirty seven
Monday
Dear fucking journal,
I have came upon many revelations today, almost to many to cope with. I had been given a large amount of time today to think to myself without my annoying fraccion and I learned things about myself I didn't particularly like. And all of them pertained to Ulquiorra.
The first being the situation about my stalker, who hasn't been stalking me anymore. When I learned Ulquiorra had been following me it didn't particular bother me, other than a bit of annoyance and surprise. But now that I think about it I should've felt more than that, things like anger, the need for revenge or something of the like. And yet I felt nothing of the sort, which is weird.
Next was when I remembered curling up on Ulquiorra in my catnip induced high during truth or dare. I felt angry and mortified, but that was only because I was embarrassed to be acting like a complete and utter idiot. I should be feeling outraged, disgusted, things of that nature and yet I didn't feel any of them.
Another thing that bothered me was how I reacted when I saw Ulquiorra and Yammy conversing. I was angry yes, but it was more like jealousy now that I think about it. But why should I be jealous? It didn't make fucking sense in the least.
The second most disturbing though was my reaction when I was high on catnip or dead drunk. Why did I always target Ulqiorra? Every time I lose control over myself I go straight for him, before curling up in his lap and purring. Do you know how weird it is to purr in another male's lap? It's fucking creepy!
But the one that disturbed me the most was my reaction to the thought of Ulquiorra trying to kiss me. I should feel disgust, revulsion, at least anger but I felt neither. Just embarrassment and... relief? What the fuck!? Why would I fell relieved about finding out that Ulquiorra, the most emotionless Espada out of all of us, had tried to kiss me?
And why in the hell wasn't I more upset about this! It was almost as if I accepted it before I knew I did, it's so fucking weird I swear!
So I discovered that not only do I accept Ulquiorra stalking me I actually like it when he follows me. I only felt embarrassment when I curled up on him and purred. I get jeolous when Ulquiorra talks to others in a normal conversation but won't pay any attention to me. I like to pounce him when I'm out of my mind. And the thought of him kissing me didn't bother me...
What in the fucking hell is wrong with me! Nothing makes sense anymore! I shouldn't be feeling things like this! It was so distracting that I didn't even react to the large picture of Yammy eating Aizen on my ceiling this morning. Nor did I react when I learned that someone had supposedly put eyeliner on Zammari as he slept, I was that intent on my thoughts.
So now I'm going to bed, hoping that I die before I wake up.
Day thirty eight
Tuesday
Dear fucking journal,
Las Noches now officially has a prankster, and no one knows who it is. It started with me on Saturday, now sporting my tail and cat ears it wasn't hard to come to this conclusion. But followed by pink freaks room going upside down on Sunday, and the eyeliner on Zammari yesterday it just solidified my thoughts. Though with Zammari it turned out that the eyeliner was actually permanent marker, meaning he was stuck with it until it faded. Now I'm sure there is a prankster, especially after what happened today.
I woke like normal to see a large painting of the spoon dressed up in a pink tutu doing a jump on my ceiling, which is starting to become normal as well. After awakening my fraccion said good morning and then went about repainting my room white, again. I swear it was starting to become routine.
I then headed to breakfast to see the most surprising thing in the world, that damn spoon was now that damn fork. Someone had literally cut the large collars on his coat into a perfect rendition of a fork. It was fucking hilarious! It also didn't help that I kept getting the image of him in a tutu out of my head, I literally snickered at him almost all day. Because of that however the fork then went about blaming me, but my fraccion told him it couldn't have been me. She then explained that I was in my room all night, she was painting it most of the night after all.
So that just left the question on who it was. And whoever keeps stealth petting my ears is going to get the Hell beat out of them if I figure out who they are. I'm getting tired of randomly jumping for no apparent reason, the other Espada are starting to think I'm crazy. Which is not what I need right now.
Pink freak still hasn't made any progress into getting rid of the current banes of my existence, which would be a tail and two cat ears. Something about not being able to gather results or something like that. He then told me that he could find a cure, but he'd have to experiment on me first. To that I said hell no!
So I'm stuck with them for now, and I am quickly running out of pants without holes in them. Hopefully he will find a cure soon, one that doesn't need me being taken apart. I really like my insides where they are at currently, thank you very much!
Also after my many revelations that I had yesterday, I have no clue how to react when I'm around Ulquiorra. I hate it. I'm jumpy around him, and more nervous then I should be. And he's noticing it as well, he's been staring at me funny all day. Almost as if he could read my thoughts, though me walking about 8 feet away from him might've tipped him off slightly.
My fraccion is also aware of the change in my demeanor toward Ulquiorra, and she thinks it's funny. When no one else is around she starts to comment on it to see my reaction. In retaliation I worked her harder than usual during training today, along with her sister. Ulquiorra raised his eyebrows at that, I just shrugged. Like he needs to know what my fraccion tells me when we're alone. I think even the emotionless Ulquiorra might be kind of surprised to hear what she says.
So off to bed, with hopes that whoever is pranking everyone would hit Karite next. Because she really needs to be knocked down a peg or two.
Day thirty nine
Wednesday
Dear fucking journal,
My prayers have been answered, Karite is finally silent. Before I get ahead of myself though I'll explain what led up to this wonderful moment in time.
It first started when I woke up to see a very gruesome picture on my ceiling, I was surprised to see the level of gore on there. It was a picture of my fraccion killing someone, bloodily. The unfortunate soul was painted in a way to where you don't know their identity but you could obviously tell by their outfits that it was an Arrancar.
Upon getting up I noticed Karite off in a corner painting another violent picture of Gin dying by dismemberment, I was surprised. Upon her turning to me however I noticed that she had a piece of duct tape on her mouth, and she had a look of murder in her eyes. After getting a muffled rant and then a piece of paper explaining the situation I finally found out what happened.
Evidently someone had used one of pink freaks experiments on the duct tape which made it reiatsu locked. Meaning it won't come off unless the person who put it on took it off. To say she was pissed was an understatement, and it would explain as to why my entire room was painted the way it was. It had almost every Espada and their fraccions dying in some brutal death.
She then explained (Via paper) that she didn't know who did it so she painted everyone to make sure she got the right one. I then sighed, she was more bloodthirsty then I had originally thought. After hearing her muffled ranting I then ordered her to repaint my room white. She nodded, though she was still angry.
It turned out that with her mouth tapped shut my fraccion couldn't eat, so to keep from starving to death she had to get an IV of nutrients to keep her alive. Did I ever mention that Karite hated needles? Well she does, with a passion.
I bet pink freak wished he had known that before he administered the IV. She beat the fucking shit out of him, literally on the verge of death kind of beating. It was gruesome, to the point in which even I had to turn away. Though she did get her IV in the end. So a weak artist fraccion with horrible reiatsu levels beat the shit out of the eight Espada, though with the way she was going I think she could've even beat Aizen.
So it was agreed that whoever gives Karite her IV the next time had better be careful and ready to run. Because lets face it, with that reaction to needles only someone above the 4th Espada could administer that IV and get away mostly scot free.
In other news someone is still stealth petting my ears, and it's more annoying today then it was earlier this week. Though that may be because I had to put up with a silent yet pissed off fraccion. So yes I was randomly jumping today, I swear it's weird to feel people touch my cat ears. The reason however is because I usually don't have them, meaning now that I'm feeling something I shouldn't be and it's messing with me.
Anyway during patrol and training Karite ranted to her sister, though with the tape she didn't say anything understandable. Kurosu looked sympathetic and acted as if she understood every word her sister said. Ulquiorra upon noticing my fraccion looked at me oddly, I then explained that it wasn't me that did it to her. He just nodded.
Lets face it, I'm more pissed that someone was able to shut her up before I could. And she knew that, she glared at me the entire day. It was almost as if she could hear my thoughts, but oh well. It didn't help either that I wasn't really looking for a way to get that duct tape off of her, I think that pissed her off the most. But hey I'm not about to ruin my silence by finding a way to help her.
So to bed I went to day, after a day of blissful silence. Though today her glare was almost as loud as her words, oh well.
Day forty
Thursday
Dear fucking journal,
The prankster strikes again, and this time it was Aaroneiro that was targeted. What happened to the two headed freak was awesome, It's one of the greatest things that happened in Las Noches.
It started out waking up to seeing a painting of what would be pink freak's funeral, with the grave and everything. It seemed as though Karite still harbored some anger for the eighth Espada for the IV thing yesterday. Though he was currently in the medical ward recovering from her beating. Anyway I got up to see her finishing a painting of the fork (bet you can't guess who that was.) crying over pink freak's grave. It was actually quite humorous to say the least.
After getting up and ordering her to repaint my room white, I headed to breakfast. That was where I caught sight of Aaroneiro, after the prankster got a hold of him. It turns out that the liquid that those 2 float around in was now a shiny bright red color. Even better was it changed colors every time his moods changed, though it was red most of the time.
I laughed so hard, I ended up falling to the floor with how hard I was laughing. But I couldn't help it, his jar now had mood coloring in it. To say Aaroneiro was pissed was an understatement, he went all day ranting about it. It was actually almost as annoying as having my fraccion ranting to me. Though she can't anymore, I'm still enjoying the break from her constant chatter.
Anyway Karite had started to carry around a small dry erase board, with a wide variety of colored markers and an eraser. She held them in a small bag at her side. When questioned she replied using the board that she needed to communicate somehow and that is what she decided to do. So now I have a fraccion who complains to me via a dry erase board, it's so annoying.
Also Aizen has chosen who would give Karite her IV, evidently no one would volunteer. Not that I particularly blame them. It turned out that Tousen was the one who now had to give her, her IV. Why Aizen cares enough to actually assign one of his shinigami lackeys to risk his life for something so stupid is beyond me. Also why he chose a blind person who couldn't see where he was poking that damn needle, I will never understand.
It gets even better though. Before my fraccion got her IV she said, via dry erase board that if Tousen touched her with that needle she was going to castrate him. He couldn't see it however and missed that small bit of information, and I wasn't going to tell him either. Let it be a surprise. Though I did laugh over her threat, I kind of wished she would do it.
So my fraccion got her shot, and Tousen got away mostly unscathed. Though he did end up getting a vicious kick to the groin, in which he flash stepped away immediately afterwards. In his pained state I couldn't see how he managed it, if I was in that kind of pain I doubt that would be my first thought.
Also it seemed as though my stealth petter was getting more bold, to the point of also petting my tail. It's so annoying! It makes me twitch every time, and I never turn around fast enough to catch them. I just sit there now, no point in turning around if I can't catch them.
Patrol and training went by normally however, and afterwards I headed to bed. The universe was finally screwing with someone else for a change and I'm going to enjoy every minute of it.
Day forty one
Friday
Dear fucking journal,
The prankster has decided once again to hit, and today it was a two for one deal.
I awoke like usual to see a picture of Tousen on my ceiling, only he was tied upside down above a tank of Hollow sharks. Big Hollow sharks. Surrounded by many Hollow Piranhas, meaning that if the sharks didn't get him those little monsters would. It was actually quite humorous, though not something I'd like on my ceiling. After getting up I noticed my entire room was nothing but pictures of Tousen dying in so many different ways. I then cursed my fraccion out and forced her to repaint my room white again.
Upon asking why she just didn't do that in her own room she responded (Via the dry erase board) that she didn't want to paint over the Ulquiorra or Linkin Park paintings in her room. That made me sigh, obsessions are not healthy. Especially one for Ulquiorra.
I then proceeded to the kitchen for breakfast to come upon those that got pranked. The first was Kurosu, standing behind Ulquiorra she now sprouted a head of emerald green hair. Though after hearing her out she actually liked it and had decided to keep it as her hair color. Fail one for the prankster, she actually enjoyed it.
The next however was actually pretty cruel if I do say so myself. Someone had put a reiatsu locked devise on Starrk, so that every time he dozed off it gave him a mild shock. It was located on his chest, and couldn't be removed. Not even I'm that cruel. So he's been awake for an entire day, the poor sap. He sat in a chair all day twitching, and he looked on the verge of tears. Even I felt sorry for him after he got shocked the fourth time.
I'm kind of waiting to see what the prankster would do to Ulquiorra, call it natural curiosity or whatever but I wanted to know. I wonder if it would be as humiliating as what happened to me, because I shouldn't only be the one to suffer.
In other news Tousen didn't get too beat up when he gave my fraccion her IV, though he did get part of his shades slashed off along with a dreadlock. That's not counting the large scratch starting at his cheek and going back towards the back of his head. Luckily he was able to get away in time and didn't lose an ear, that was what she was aiming at after all.
And my fraccion pulled her Zanpakuto out for the first time, I hadn't seen it till today. It was a large dagger that she kept hidden up her sleeve, it was sharp and it was deadly. She didn't even release it and yet she took Tousen by surprise, and he brags about knowing these things. Hah, proved him wrong.
After Tousen left she then returned it to her sleeve before leaving with a huff. Even I could tell she was disappointed that she missed a major body part. Though it did teach me to watch out for that dagger, she was extremely quick with it.
And someone is still stealth petting my ears damn it! I can't wait until these cat ears and tail is gone! Then finally I might get some peace while the world is out fucking someone else's life up.
Day forty two
Saturday
Dear fucking journal,
Remember when I wrote about wondering what prank Ulquiorra would get? Well I found out and it fucking pisses me off more then you could possibly imagine! Especially because it concerns me as well! Just when I thought the universe had decided to give me a break!
It first started out when I woke up, only I wasn't in my bed. I wasn't even in my own room. Somehow in my sleep I had found my way into Ulquiorra's room, in his bed. Even worse was the reiatsu locked handcuffs locking us together. So I had woke up to none other then Ulquiorra beside me, who was still sleeping deeply at that point.
Now when Ulquiorra wakes to find strange people in his bed he reacts, and not positively either. I found myself hit off his bed... hard. Which with us tethered together he was forced to come with me. Now getting hit by the fourth Espada early in the morning was bad enough, but landing on the floor roughly and then having him fall on me? Not fun in the least. I think I broke a few ribs, and my sternum.
So after getting up and explaining to him that it wasn't me that locked us together and that I wasn't to happy with the arrangement either, we went to Aizen. Of course by Ulquiorra's orders, I'd never go to Aizen for help willingly. The 'evil overlord' was surprised to say the least before telling us we'd have to put up with it until the one who put them on us came forward. At this rate we are never getting free!
So now I was stuck with Ulquiorra Sciffer, someone in which I didn't want to be stuck to. I also have him behind me while I'm writing in my journal, and it's making me twitchy. Like I need him reading my journal. Also I seem to be better at writing with my left hand then I had originally thought, I wouldn't have found that out if it wasn't for my right hand being stuck to Ulquiorra's left hand.
So after going to my own room to check on my fraccion and get some new cloths I had discovered Karite sleeping on my floor. Even more surprising was my room was still white, not a single picture was painted on my wall. Upon waking her in which she attempted to give me a hug she then explained (Via dry erase board) that she was worried about me and didn't get time to paint my room because she was too busy worrying. She had came to my room last night to find me gone. When she noticed me handcuffed to Ulquiorra however all concern for me vanished and she started to laugh at me. I then busted her own bubble by telling her, with a menacing smile of course, that it was time to get her IV.
Tousen managed to get away this time without any major injury, though he did get another dreadlock cut off. Ulquiorra was impressed at how fast my fraccion was, I had to agree with him. She was extremely quick when motivated, and nothing motivated her more then a good needle. After getting her IV we then proceeded to the kitchen to get breakfast, and had to endure laughs from our comrades. I just growled at them, It's all I could do. Though when Ulquiorra stared at them they all shut up.
Starrk was still awake, and still twitching. He's getting to the point that he's hallucinating, he ended up calling me auntie Millie today. Whoever that was I had no clue, so I just hit him on the back of his head and he was back to normal. Well as normal as a sleep deprived Starrk could be.
I didn't get stealth petted today, thankfully. I think it was because Ulqiorra was there, he'd surly find out who was doing it. Though it could be him doing it, which only creeped me out so I'm just ignoring that thought for now.
The worst part of my day however was when Ulquiorra had ordered that we were to sleep in his room, meaning I get to sleep on the floor and he gets the bed with his arm dangling over. Bastard, does he know how hard the floors are in Las Noches? They are made of fucking marble for crying out loud! Thankfully though he did fucking lend me a pillow (Note the sarcasm).
So I am not looking forward to sleeping, or tomorrow for that matter. Because I have a feeling that it will not go well, and being handcuffed to Ulquiorra just solidified my feelings.
End
