Authors note: Chapter 14 people! Here it comes! This week's was kind of weird, I've been losing my artistic vision. But worry not, through snow or sleet or raining cats and dogs I will continue. I am also running out of ideas so any suggestions are appreciated, after camping week I'm going to be out of ideas! So Help! I would like to thank the academy... I mean my reviewers for all their lovely reviews! Now go enjoy some Grimmjow goodness!

Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach, Fruity Pebbles or coffee, but I do own Karite... even when she's on a coffee high. And an exhausted Kurosu, who unfortunately for her has to put up with her sister.

Day ninety two
Sunday
Dear fucking journal,

In light of last week I didn't know what this week would bring, what really did happen however I hadn't expected.

I woke up to find a picture on the ceiling, ah it's good to be home. It was a picture of Ulquiorra punching the spoon like he did the other day, I have to say it was epic! Though I forced her to paint over it, I don't need Nnoitra on my ceiling no matter if he was suffering or not.

After that I fed Jow, thankfully he was back to the normal wake time table, and he took up residence in my hollow's hole once again. It was kind of weird as a human because I couldn't carry him like that, I'm glad it's back to normal now. I then headed down to breakfast, wondering what today would bring. After a bowl of Fruity Pebbles I got prepared for the rest of the day, which was a good thing that I did, now that I think about it.

Aizen ordered us to a meeting right after breakfast, and he told us about his plan for this week. It seems that Aizen had been thinking that Las Noches wasn't white enough to his liking, he kept claiming it was off white instead of pristine porcelain. So what does he do in light of such atrocity? He ordered every Arrancar to repaint the entire fortress of Las Noches, every one of us.

What the fuck!? The building wasn't white enough for him! Who cares if it's white!? It was a fortress where he's creating an army, not some house in Homes and Gardens! It's suppose to look intimidating and shit! Evidently white walls were scary to the shinigami, that's the only thing I can think of why he would want us to repaint it.

He made us paint all day today, and we barely got anything done. Even with all of us Arrancars we didn't even get a third of the way done! And we were only doing the outside! I don't even want to imagine doing the inside, not only is there thousands of corridors but it extends underground as well.

Though I was at least able to talk to Ulquiorra during the painting process, considering we were in the same place. We were all designated to paint a certain part, Ulquiorra just happened to be painting the sector beside mine. He didn't talk much but I was used to that, I just kept talking to fill the silence. Though we are getting closer it's kind of odd, I didn't expect whatever this is to progress quite this way.

After painting most of the day we had to literally drag our bodies back inside, I don't think I can handle much more of this. After I managed to get into the kitchen I had a quick dinner, which was only a sandwich. Evidently the Arrancars that cooked dinner were also painting, and they didn't have the energy to cook today. So we ate what we could piece together, Karite didn't even eat she just fell asleep on the kitchen floor.

After dinner I really needed to relax, so after going to my room and making sure my door was locked I got out Zammari's present that he got me. Which just happened to be a yoga video, after going along with the poses I really started to feel better. My body wasn't sore anymore, and I was much more relaxed then I was earlier.

After that I got ready for bed, today was pretty long and I deserved it. I feel sorry for the others when they wake up, were I did yoga I'm relaxed and am going to be fine. Everyone else is going to be sore, wait no scratch that I'm not sorry. They deserve it, and I find their misery amusing. I'm evil after all.

So to bed I go, not wanting tomorrow to come.

Day ninety three
Monday
Dear fucking journal,

I awoke this morning relaxed and full of energy, who knew that yoga would be this soothing? I looked up to see nothing on my ceiling, evidently my fraccion didn't have the energy to paint anything last night. Her and her sister did paint the most yesterday after all, they were the artists.

So I got up, fed Jow, and headed down for breakfast. It was actually quite entertaining, everyone was laying around the table groaning. I just walked in and acted all cheery greeted everybody, I think I might of scared them a little too much. But hey, I like keeping them on their toes.

After eating we all got back to work painting, which was excruciating. We spent forever painting the west side of Las Noches today, and it took forever. Thankfully we got almost all of it done with the outside today, evidently pink freak created more fraccion just to help us paint. So we got almost the entire outside done, meaning tomorrow we'll start on the inside.

I think I startled Ulquiorra though, I painting most of the day in a hyper mood. I felt great today, and I was able to work much more today then yesterday. I talked to him most of the day again, though I at least got him to answer most of my questions today.

Karite who found my sudden increase in energy odd, and she begged me to know my secret. She and her sister did most of the painting again, they took a big chunk of it themselves. As artists they were used to painting, she said be it small or big she would always be able to paint more then anyone.

I don't even want to think about what tomorrow would bring, the inside of Las Noches is extensive. Not only does it have the living quarters for all of us, but also living quarters for the lesser arrancars, and thousands of corridors designed to confuse intruders. And now we were going to have to paint them all, every single one.

After we got done for the day we headed to dinner, and had another sandwich. It wasn't surprising when my fraccion fell asleep at the table again, though she was on top of the table. She didn't even try to go to bed, she didn't even eat. Kurosu, also fell asleep in her chair before eating, though at least she wasn't on the table.

I was only slight sore and had a lot of fun making fun of everyone else, who looked as if they were old people. I could literally skip around them and they could barely walk, yoga was a very good thing. I should tell them about my secret to lessen the soreness and more gain energy... Nah! It's to fun to watch them stumble around like zombies, so I don't think I'll tell them.

So I then headed to my room and watched my yoga video again, after a quick session I headed off to bed. The aches and pains of today melted away, and I'm going to bed completely relaxed.

Day ninety four
Tuesday
Dear fucking journal,

I woke up this morning relaxed and well rested, just like yesterday. There was also no painting on my ceiling this morning either, though I hadn't been expecting one. My fraccion had literally fell asleep on the table last night, I would've bet that she was still there.

After getting up and feeding Jow I headed down to breakfast, to find that yes she was still on the table. After shoving her off I grabbed a breakfast, whistling happily. I laughed at everyone's expression, which clearly spoke disbelief. I could literally see them trying to figure out why I'm in such a good mood after two days of excruciating work.

I didn't let them in on it, I enjoy keeping them confused. It's just so much fun. Though I think Zammari knows why I'm this relaxed, though he didn't point it out. I'm glad, and it makes me like him just a little bit more.

So we started painting today and after a few hours got done with the outside and moved inside, so much walls! We painting so long today, and didn't get even a fourth done! Many of us thought about quitting, that was until Gin came by and told us of Aizen's new orders. Evidently if we finish this painting job by Saturday we get a prize, an entire week of relaxation.

That got us motivated, an entire week of being left alone? That was the best thing in the world right now! No responsibilities, no working, no listening to Aizen order us to do impossible things. And for an entire week! That got many of us motivated and we worked our butts off, more then we had all week.

Ulquiorra also seemed strangely motivated, he worked pretty hard as well. And as the fourth Espada that was quite a lot of work, more then me I can say. Though that's only because I had to paint next to Szayel today, that pink freak kept complaining that it was beneath him.

If I have to listen to another day of him I will fucking kill him, trust me. How would you like it if someone kept saying 'This is beneath me, I shouldn't be doing this kind of work!' In a high pitched whiny feminine voice all day long! I almost killed him, I would've if Gin hadn't came by to warn me not to.

How Aizen knew I was on the brink of killing the pink freak I didn't know, but I was glad when we finally quit for the day. We headed down for supper and my fraccion didn't even make it to the kitchen today, she fell asleep at her painting station. She was asleep in a bucket of white paint, thankfully her sister removed her face from the bucket so she wouldn't drown.

After grabbing a sandwich and bidding goodbye to the others I headed back to my room, locked myself in and watched my video. After about half an hour of workout I headed to bed, slightly exhausted after today's work.

So I'm off to bed, not wanting to see tomorrow.

Day ninety five
Wednesday
Dear fucking journal,

Woke up this morning back to my energetic self, and I have to say I love my yoga video! No painting on my ceiling either, I wouldn't be surprised if my fraccion was still where she fell asleep last night, still covered in paint in the hallway. So that's one good thing about this entire painting thing, she doesn't bother me like usual. Which is good.

Getting up I fed Jow and headed to breakfast, like I had every day this week. I was hyper too, much to the shock and dismay of the others. You'd think after three days they'd figure it out or at least be used to it, but no they aren't. I enjoy laughing at them though, it's really quite humorous if you think about it.

So we started to paint again today, beginning in the lower corridors. Who knew we had so many passage ways!? We painted forever and only got half of the underground ones done, we hadn't finished them and there was much more above ground!

Guess who I got stuck with again, if you guessed Szayel then you are correct. I had to be put beside his pansy ass all day! Though it was slightly bearable because Ulquiorra was on my other side, though just barely. Pink freak can really complain, he has it down to an art. Which just intensifies my theory of him being a woman, only he could complain like one.

Not even my fraccion who is actually a female complained that much, and she was doing a large portion of the work. Her and her sister had done more work then almost all the Espada combined, they did that much. That was also why she was on the brink of unconsciousness after each day, I hate to say it but I'm proud of her. Though I'd never admit it out loud.

Though the most coolest thing happened just before quitting time, it turned out that Loly and Menoly haven't been trying too hard. They barely painted an entire wall between them, and my fraccion found out. Karite was pissed beyond all reason, and she let them two know it.

She beat the hell out of them, and then told them to work. And then she said to continue working until she said they could quit, they were probably still painting. It's about midnight and Karite still hadn't told them to quit, I think they truly will paint until she tells them to stop. Karite could be scary when she needed to be, I taught her well.

After we got done for the day we headed to get food, and many of the other lower arrancars dragged my fraccion in. Evidently she earned their respect and worship when she beat up those two bitches, thankfully it wasn't any of the Espada. I don't need any of them worshiping her, it was annoying enough with my followers.

Heading to my room after that I watched my yoga video, letting the stress of today melt away. After my video I headed to bed, today had been full of surprises and I need the rest. Though I'm still slightly hungry, these sandwiches aren't filling me up.

So I'm off to bed, waiting to see what tomorrow would bring.

Day ninety six
Thursday
Dear fucking journal,

I woke up in a good mood again today, though I wasn't looking forward to painting. I might have all this energy, but that doesn't mean I want to paint. Though if I do paint then I get a full week of relaxation, so I guess I'll paint. 'It's worth it', that's what I have to keep telling myself.

I got up again, fed Jow, and headed off to breakfast. Which has been a very repetitive routine lately, it's almost as if I've found myself in a rut. I just shrugged my shoulders and got my breakfast, which of course was Fruity Pebbles. Can never get enough of that stuff, it's the best cereal in the world.

The others who have grown accustom to my energetic mood barely looked at me today, they all looked exhausted and we hadn't even got to painting yet. The only one who didn't look as if he'd fall out of his chair was Zammari, and considering he did yoga anyway it wasn't that surprising.

After all of us got done eating we headed off to paint again, starting back down in the lower floors beneath Las Noches. Thankfully we got the underground rooms completely done today, meaning all we had to do now was the upper floors. Though there was much more corridors and rooms above ground, so much more that I often get lost.

Also it turns out that Loly and Menoly were still painting, yes they had actually painted all night long. Karite admits she forgot to tell them to stop, so they got to rest today. They did paint a large portion last night, even though they usually slack off. My fraccion can be very motivating if the need ever arises, those two bitches were just too motivated to argue back.

So we got to painting, and I was forced to listen to Szayel complain again, though he shut up around noon. That might be because I threatened to chop all his hair off and then drown him in the paint at one point, I can't remember half the threats I've directed at him this week. That one just happened to work, thank whoever's listening for that.

I talked to Ulquiorra after that, thankful that pink freak remained quiet. He didn't talk much today either but that didn't bother me, he seemed to be more... I don't know, nicer. Though after finding out that he liked me it should've been obvious, but he was also nicer to others. Not by much, but just a little bit. Though he's still rude to Nnoitra, but that wasn't too surprising. Not after last Friday.

We worked into the late hours of the evening, though we did get the above ground corridors a fourth of the way done. Only two more days of this, and then a free week. I just can't wait, it makes working this hard almost worth it. Though I could do without the sandwiches for supper, I can't wait until we have real food again.

The lower Arrancar took Karite to her room, after they fed her of course. I see a pattern forming, whenever my fraccion was around weaker Arrancar she managed to get them to follow her. I don't know how she manages it but it's very weird, I'm just glad it doesn't work on the Espada.

After eating I went back to my room and watched my yoga film again, after the session I headed to bed. I was exhausted after today, and I needed to sleep.

So to bed I go, with only two more days until our free week.

Day ninety seven
Friday
Dear fucking journal,

I awoke to something strange today, oh how I missed the peaceful awakenings I've had this week. My fraccion was bouncing around my room, more hyper then anyone could imagine. And for me that was saying something.

After getting her to calm down enough to talk too I learned the reason for this sudden burst of energy, evidently she got a hold of a human drink called 'coffee'. She was literally running in circles this morning, whatever this drink was it worked wonders for her. Though she did tell me later that she drank about six cups this morning.

After kicking her out of my room I fed Jow and headed down for breakfast, being followed by a hyper crazy Karite. Whatever this coffee stuff was she was not allowed to have any more of it, she was practically impossible to put up with today. Though she did paint more then I could imagine, she almost painting more then every Arrancar combined today. And that was counting her sister, all in one day!

So after breakfast we got to work, and today was a very good day. With the energized Karite we got almost three fourths of the way done, meaning that we should finish by noon tomorrow. Hello free week! I can't wait for that free week, an entire week of doing nothing. I can see it now, no bothers, no orders, nothing but sleeping and relaxing.

Though I was put beside Szayel today he didn't talk much, making today slightly quiet. Though with Karite off down the corridors singing and such it wasn't too quiet, though pink freak didn't complain today. Evidently he took my threat from yesterday seriously, good because I was serious. I don't bluff, there was no point in it. If I said I'll do something, then I will.

Menoly and Loly were ordered by Karite to get painting again today, they tried to resist at first. But Karite was full of energy today, and she wooped their asses from one side of Las Noches to the other. They got to work quickly after that, glaring and grumbling. But still they were working. If it was up to me I'd make them paint all week, screw letting them rest.

So after we finished for the day we headed in for dinner, and Karite in her coffee induced high decided to make us all dinner. There was so much food, she practically cooked a 5 course meal. The best part? It was delicious, I've never tasted such good food. Even Aizen liked it to the point that Karite is now our cook, much to her dismay.

After dinner I headed back to my room to watch my video, letting all of the day's stress just flow from my body. It also seems as of late that I have been mellowing down, which is just not me. I think it's the video, I just don't have the rage I used to. So I'll be glad when this painting project is over with, then I will be able to go back to my normal self.

So to bed I'm going, glad that tomorrow we will finally be done!

Day ninety eight
Saturday
Dear fucking journal,

Today sucked! All that work, all those days of painting, all that complaining I suffered from Szayel! What do I get for all that trouble!? I was suppose to get a free week, but do you know what Aizen said that free week is going to be? Camping! Us Espada's, and some of the fraccion are all going camping tomorrow!

Evidently humans actually camp for fun, can you believe it? And Aizen, as the most horrible evil overlord ever decided that we should experience this relaxing experience for ourselves. So we're going camping for an entire week, a full seven days! Starting tomorrow until next Saturday, just us and the woods somewhere in the human world.

We did get done with Las Noches today, and leading up to the learning of our 'prize' was actually okay. I woke up, fed Jow and headed down to breakfast like usual. Karite who had had a crash from all that energy yesterday was slumped at the table, she looked as though she had the life sucked out of her. She couldn't even lift her head off the table.

So we all headed to paint after breakfast, leaving Karite to rest. She painted more then all of us after all, she deserved a day off. We managed to finish the entire building of Las Noches, it now had a fresh coat of pure white paint. As I stared at it today I was reminded that we went through all of that work just because our leader didn't think our home was completely white.

After we were finished at noon we were ordered to the meeting room, where we had learned about our so amazing prize. (And incase you didn't know I was being sarcastic). Where our leader, the one who didn't think Las Noches was white enough, decided that we should go camping for our week off. Even worse? We had to use our gigais again!

So we had to prepare for a week of roughing it in the woods, with a bunch of people I don't like. No kitchen, no bathroom, no showers... not so bad, having to hunt and forge for food. I am so not looking forward to this, even worse? Were only allowed to take us some cloths and a few things like our toothbrushes and such.

Strangely however Ulquiorra seemed to be looking forward to our trip, though it's hard to tell. Some of the other Espada such as Starrk and Lilynette are actually looking forward to this trip as well, they are practically cowboy and cowgirl though so that's not surprising. Though it is shocking that Zammari is excited too, he says that nature can be very relaxing and wants to try meditating in a forest.

After packing for our trip I went down for dinner, looking about as excited as the rest of the Espada. Many of us weren't looking forward to this little field trip, only four of us even want to go to the human world for camping. My fraccion looked as though she didn't care, she was still practically unconscious from her coffee crash. I asked her who is the best Espada and she mumbled back Jow, yeah she really needs a little more rest.

So I'm heading to bed now, really hoping I suffocate in my sleep. At least then I won't have to go on this stupid trip.

End

Chapter Challenge Winner! Last week we had a challenge and we have a winner! The question 'Why was Ulquiorra gone before Grimmjow woke up on Tuesday and Wednesday?' was actually pretty straight forward. Ulquiorra just wanted to do things to Grimmy in his sleep, but some of the answers I got were quite entertaining. Almost all of them were conspiracy theories, about Ulquiorra setting up his free day. Though that was a good idea and I wish I thought of it. The winner of this chapter is: cloudchenchan!

cloudchenchan: haha Karite headlocked Szayel and blackmailed most of the guys into carrying her bags? XD well you said 'tricked into' but I'm pretty sure you meant to say 'blackmail' cause, frankly, she kinda knows everything right? that's at least what Grimmy's ceiling says everyday^^and about the challenge... he did some things to Grimmjow while he was sleeping or he at least dreamt about it and couldn't face him afterwards! after all Grimmjow IS a heavy sleeper *cough*karite*cough

My other winner was Blader123, it wasn't accurate but it was close! So congrats on winning 2nd!

Now time for the LMAO answer of the week! The answer that had me laughing so hard I nearly busted a gut.

Mistress -Freak

HE PANNED IT, I TELL YOU!! A PLAN!!.Ulqui's a sneaky li'l devil and needed to plant all the secret items for his special day with Grimm. Really, though, the spoon and pink freak just HAPPENED to get drunk? Karite just HAPPENED to get sick?(Tesla was unharmed because he knew Tesla would try to stay with Karite)Your Honor, if I may, I would like to accuse the defendant for the manipulated plot of poison and having people love him. A bit too much.

Chapter Challenge: Who gave Karite coffee? Here's a hint, they really wanted Las Noches' paintjob done by Saturday! Good luck!
