Day ninety nine
Sunday
Dear fucking journal,

We started our camping trip today, and it was horrible! It first started out with my fraccion running through the halls at high speeds while shouting at the top of her lungs, someone fucking gave her coffee again. Upon waking up and beating her up she explained that after drinking her coffee from last week she had liked it, so she kept drinking it. Just what I need for the beginning of the day from Hell, Karite acting like she's on drugs.

After getting up and realizing that in the human time it was only three am I was pissed. After a quick shower I fed Jow, I then put him in his carry along bag again. We were going to be using our gigai's for this trip after all, so he couldn't camp out in my Hollow's hole. I then headed down for breakfast to meet with the other still tired Espada's.

It turned out that only mine, Ulquiorra's, Nnoitra's, and one of Barragan's were actually going with us, evidently all the others refused to accompany us. I don't know much about Ggio other then the fact that he looks like a saber toothed cat, so why was he coming? I had no clue, but evidently he chose too. I wouldn't, not even if you paid me. Unfortunately I had no choice.

So we headed back down to Karakura Town, evidently he wanted this trip as human like as the other. He rented a large bus, and decided to drive us three hours to the campsite. They don't have cars in Soul Society or Hueco Mundo and now I know why, Aizen is the worst driver in the whole world. He nearly killed us eight times, got pulled over twelve times and we broke down twice. Nice start to a week of relaxation, I can already tell how this week is going to go.

So after three hours and a few near death experiences we finally arrived at our campsite, which is the most isolated one I ever saw. Aizen just replied that he wanted this as authentic as possible, meaning we had to rough it like the humans did. Fucking unbelievable. No powers, no flying, no gargantuan, only camping like weak pussies. Shit.

So after setting up our campsite Aizen ordered us all jobs, in which we needed to complete. Mine was fishing for food, fucking hilarious. Aizen probably thinks he's so cleaver, send the cat to fish, it's the perfect fucking plan. So I went fishing, and brought back a lot just to prove that I could. So take that asshole.

My fraccion, Telsa, Ggio and Kurosu was in charge of cooking and clean up, Starrk and Lilynette are in charge of gathering food, Harribel had to get fresh water for us to drink, Yammy and Zammari are in charge of fire wood, Aaroneiro was in charge of setting up the tents, Nnoitra and Szayel were in charge of making fire and the other such things, Ulquiorra was in charge of hunting game, and I got the job of fishing.

Barragan, Gin, Tousen, and Aizen spent all day doing nothing. Just discussing things around the camp fire, thanks a lot assholes! It was Aizen's idea to come here and does he help? No! We don't get to relax but him and his lackeys do?! Lets not forget about the old man! He sat around all day acting haughty, like he shouldn't have to do anything either.

Though it was kind of nice to find out that I would be sharing a tent with Ulquiorra, at least I didn't have to be bunking with anyone I hate. And lets face it, who wouldn't want to bunk with Ulquiorra? Well before I learned my feelings I wouldn't have, but that's irrelevant now. Also Jow had adapted to my timetable now, meaning he stayed awake most of the evening through night time.

So I'm heading to bed now, with today the way it was I don't even want to imagine tomorrow.

Day one hundred
Monday
Dear fucking journal,

Today was just as bad as yesterday, if not more. Woke up to Ulquiorra sitting on me again, though that wasn't too bad. It was what happened later that sucked, Karite brought more coffee with her. So after getting up and feeding Jow I headed out to see what was for breakfast, how the four fraccion managed to cook a large breakfast in the woods was beyond me. But that was what was prepared for us.

After eating we got on with our daily duties, getting them finished quickly. After catching the fish and putting them in the cooler (Yes Aizen actually bought one.) we went about fun camp activities today. Which consisted of climbing a mountain, swimming in the lake, and guess what? Yes more fishing! I swear I'm going to kill Aizen,

First we hiked up a damn mountain, almost two miles worth of trekking upwards and then back down. It would've been faster if the trail went straight to the top but no, it had to run around it in circles while going up. It took forever, though it was slightly awarding. The view from the top was awesome, the trees were even cleared out so you could see everything. It was good, until we had to walk back down.

After that we went swimming at the lake, and I'm glad that the fish in the human world wants to eat us. All those Hollow animals in the lakes in Hueco Mundo just want to eat anything that fall in the water, we didn't have to worry about that here. So we went swimming for a few hours and I learned the glory of sun block. Only me, Ulquiorra, Aizen, Gin and Tousen avoided blistering sunburns.

How Aizen and Gin accomplished this I don't know, Tousen's dark skin protected him and me and Ulquiorra just used sunblock. I had some enjoyment out of laughing at the other Arrancars, especially the ones who didn't experience this phenomenon while on vacation. They were freaking and everything, my fraccion just put some cool green stuff on her skin and she seemed fine. Though she only shared it with the other fraccion, she said the underdogs deserve something every now and then.

After that we headed out fishing, where we used these things called fishing poles to catch them. Why not just wait patiently at the shore until one swam by like I did? I caught a lot of fish like that, though I was at the river when I did this. We started fishing at the lake, where that technique didn't work so well. So after I mastered the art of fishing with a pole and string it was actually pretty relaxing, though it took forever to catch a fish. My way is still faster.

So after that we headed back to camp to relax for the rest of the day, though I still had to scale and gut the fish I caught this morning. Nasty job that is, I'd rather just eat them whole cooked over the fire. So after that we sat down and waited for dinner and just talked, though it didn't last long. Towards the end of the night we got swarmed by bugs, a lot of them. They ate us up! All of us, even Aizen and his two lackeys.

So we ended up eating in our tents which thankfully had nets, meaning they couldn't get in. Jow was in heaven, he might be a fruit bat but he still ate insects. He ate any that got into our tent, and I even let a little in for him. I also learned that Jow hunts by hearing rather then sight, which I'm impressed. Hunting with very bad eyesight is hard, it's easier to see your prey. But he can't so he uses something called sonar, which Ulquiorra explained to me. Really cool.

After it got dark and the bugs calmed down we headed out of our tents, gathering around the campfire. The fraccion all roasted marshmallows, something Karite learned in the real world. Though it didn't help when she went to blow the fire out on hers that the molten marshmallow his me square in the face. It burned, and I chased her around the campfire. Though she outran me, she was still on her coffee high after all.

So to bed I go today, a slight burn on my face snuggled beside Ulquiorra.

Day one hundred and one
Tuesday
Dear fucking journal,

Do you know that saying 'Having your bones jumped'? I had heard it a couple of times when I went to the human world but I never understood what it meant. How could you jump someone's bones? They are inside you, protected by muscle, fat, and skin. It just didn't make any sense, though not much in the human world did.

But I learned what it really meant today, it was actually an expression used in certain situations. The way I learned was that it happened to me today, I literally got my bones jumped today as I was fishing. I guess I'll explain my day before I continue, just to show how it lead up to this.

I woke up snuggled beside Ulquiorra again this morning, though sharing a tent that wasn't surprising. I knew he was a snuggler from back when we had to share a bed while handcuffed together. After getting up and feeding Jow I headed to get breakfast, to get a large meal for the day ahead.

So after that I went fishing, and as I waited at the bank of the river a loud explosion made me jump straight into the water. I didn't know that early in the morning the water would be that cold, it was icy. After I dragged myself out of the water I had to take my clothing off, they were completely soaked. While I waited by the bank of the river for them to dry though I got jumped.

It turned out that Ulquiorra was hunting nearby, that and he couldn't resist my hot body. He literally jumped me from the shadows, and started to kiss me. I knew I was irresistable but I didn't think I'd have this kind of effect on the normally emotionless Espada. So we ended up making out for a good ten minutes, at least until he regained his composure and took off to go hunting again.

After regretting dressed I wandered back to camp kind of dazed with my catch and learned that the explosion I heard earlier came from the cook and clean up team. Which contained Karite, Kurosu, Ggio, and Telsa, evidently someone thought to cook food in a aluminum bag without ventilating it. There went lunch, we had to make sandwiches instead.

Towards dinnertime, which I was still slightly in a daze, we learned from Aizen that today we had to tell campfire stories. The scariest wins, and they won't have to do their job tomorrow if they won. Believe it or not Ulquiorra won, his story completely terrified everyone including me. It was about some humans that encounter a unknown entity in the forest and a bunch of other shit I don't want to think about.

What made it worse however was the fact that he smiled evilly at the ending, that is number one on my list of top ten frightening things. Even Aizen looked slightly scared, and he's suppose to be all powerful. Gin was creeped out and refused to go near him for the rest of the night, and Tousen wet his pants. How Tousen could see it even though he was blind was a mystery, but he was freaked out as well.

So everyone went to bed creeped out, Karite refused to let go of her sister, Szayel kept hiding behind Nnoitra and Gin refused to walk within ten feet of Ulquiorra. I went to bed closer to Ulquiorra then usual, but wouldn't you if you just heard the most scariest story in existence? Though sleeping next the one who told it might not have been such a good idea.

So I'm going to bed hoping I don't wake with nightmares, trust me his story was able to terrify anyone.

Day one hundred and two
Wednesday
Dear fucking journal,

Woke up this morning clutching onto Ulquiorra, due to waking from a nightmare. I swear he told such a creepy story on purpose, he had a smirk in his eyes. I just growled at him slightly before getting up, after he smirked at me some more he told me that he was going to use his free day to follow me around.

So he watched as I fed Jow, and as I ate breakfast, and as I headed out to go fishing. So as I sat at the bank watching the fish swim by Ulquiorra was watching me, does he know how hard it is to fish when you're being watched? I only got a small fraction of what I usually caught, though we still had plenty from yesterday.

After that he followed me when I went wandering into the forest, something I did to escape my comrades and their annoyances. Neither of us talked, just walked through the trees quietly. Now normally me being quiet would be weird, but I didn't feel like taking today.

After returning to camp in which everyone glared at Ulquiorra, guess they were still angry at him for his story, we discovered something odd. Both Nnoitra and Szayel got bitten last night, they both had bite marks on their necks. Like fangs or something, which slightly coencided with Ulquiorra's story yesterday. They were freaked, to the point that they wouldn't leave their tent.

The best part? The bite marks were small, only about half an inch from each other. Yet they were terrified as if they got bitten by a demon or something. So I'm guessing they got bitten by a snake, thankfully earth snakes didn't eat you like they do in Hueco Mundo. Back where we live they are usually bigger then us and like to eat things our size, tangled with a few in my day.

Why two of our Espada are terrified of a small bite? I don't know, we're suppose to be the badasses of Hueco Mundo, and yet they cower in fear of a small reptile. Pathetic really, though it probably didn't help that Ulquiorra's completely terrifying story from last night had a deadly blood sucking demon in it.

After their melodrama we all got ready for what Aizen calls 'Group bonding', where all of us are forced to talk to each other like civilized beings. Where's the fun in that? Civilized is boring, I prefer reeking mayhem and completely terrifying my fellow companions. You don't know how much of a rush it is to put a cockroach in Szayel's bed until you hear him scream like a little girl and fry a hole through his sleeping bag with a cero.

So we acted all civilized, and talked to each other. Though I'd prefer we didn't, I don't like knowing things about my associates, it's not what I call fun in the least. I don't care that Harribel doesn't enjoy when people stare at her breasts, I don't care that Starrk doesn't like being woke up, and I sure as Hell don't care that Tousen is terrified of the feeling of something slimy on his skin... Wait that one might come in handy for future references.

So after bonding was over we ate dinner, which was fish and some type of potatoes that my fraccion and her brigade cooked. Though it was delicious, and Aizen congratulated himself on choosing such a good team for cooking. Of course he had to congratulate himself, his ego was that big.

So I'm off to bed, wondering briefly what bit pink freak and the spoon.

Day one hundred and three
Thursday
Dear fucking journal,

Woke up this morning to a scream, followed by another scream followed by a loud oomph. Now who would cause such a ruckus so early in such a way? The culprut was Karite, yes my fraccion screamed at a decible not thought possible. Which caused her sister to wake up and scream, who then fell onto their other tentmate Harribel. Thus the oomph we heard.

Upon getting up and investigating the matter it turned out that Not only my fraccion but Kurosu and Harribel had all got biten last night, with the same type of bite mark that pink freak and the spoon got yesterday. So after their hysteria and other such nonesence I went back to bed. Though not for long, I woke to something odd.

Ulquiorra was humming, yes you heard right, humming. So I just laid there and listened, and ended up drifting back off to sleep. Who knew that Ulquiorra had such a sweet voice? Or that he even hummed for that matter, I always figured he'd think it was too 'emotional' to do.

After that I got up and went about today, Ulquiorra who had to go back to his errand today didn't get to follow me. I went fishing like normal at the river, took a walk into the woods for a bit, and then came back and listened to my comrads prattle on today. Karite and her sister had calmed down from this morning, while Harribel still didn't seem particularly bothered.

I fed Jow and noticed something weird, it looked like his cage had been opened last night. Though that didn't seem possible, I slept right beside his cage after all. Not only would someone have to walk overtop me but also Ulquiorra to get to him, and Ulquiorra knows when people walk overtop him in his sleep. So I guess it's nothing, though by saying that I feel like something bad's going to happen.

After eating dinner like usual Aizen called another group bonding session, this one though much more worse. We had to separate into pairs and then do 'Things' to help strengthen the bond. Though it seemed more like chores, cleaning the tents, washing clothing, cleaning up the campground. And I had to fucking do it with Yammy, who complained the entire time that he was hungry!

You have no clue how many times I almost cero'd his ass today! 'I'm hungry when do we get to eat.' Or 'I'm hungry lets take a break'. Or the worst of them all, the one I heard more then anything today. 'Do you have anything to eat on you?' I almost killed him! Does it look like I carry food around with me?! No I fucking don't so just stop asking me!

After that mental torture I was then forced to sit back into the group and discuss with everyone what I learned about the giant lard ass known as Yammy. All I learned is that he eats fucking a lot, and he doesn't remember things too well. Look at how many times he asked me if I had food in the seemingly forever short time we had to work together.

Finally after that annoying torture was over we got ready for bed, and I have to say I was ready for it. The only thing that didn't completely annoy me was hearing Ulquiorra humming, so today wasn't what I call a victory.

So I'm off to bed, not wanting another wake up call like I had this morning.

Day one hundred and four
Friday
Dear fucking journal,

The worst thing happened today! Jow's missing! I woke up and he wasn't in his cage, nor in the tent. I don't know where he's gone to but I can't find him anywhere! I spent all morning searching for him, even in everyone else's tents.

Aizen told me that I didn't have to fish today, he told me to spend my time looking for my wayward friend. I don't know where this flash of sympathy came from, nor do I care. I just took the opportunity to look for him, I wasn't about to let a chance like this go by.

So I looked as much as I could, even going as far as I could. Searching dark caves, the tops of trees, everywhere Jow would be able to go. And I'm not the only one who's worried about him either, Ulquiorra helped look for him today as well. Though Ulquiorra was the one who originally took care of him so that's not surprising, Jow just seemed to adopt me after that.

Karite, who had made herself the official leader of the 'Jow search party' had rallied everyone to help look for him. I didn't care though, I was too busy searching. Though I was glad that more people were looking, the more people that were searching the greater the chances of someone finding him.

But I couldn't figure out why he'd leave me, did I do something to make him mad or something? I take utmost care of him, I feed him and do everything I can to make him feel like I love him. He's my little buddy, and I always thought that he too thought I was his buddy as well.

After searching for hours on end I collapsed from exhaustion, I was running all over the forest and everything for hours so I was down for the count. The others who had taken to pace themselves in their search still looked, though not as much vigor as me. They had started to like the little bat, so they had put in some effort to look for him.

After I rested and ate some food I went searching again, this time much more vigorously. I was told by Aizen during my rest that we were leaving tomorrow, meaning if I didn't find him I'd have to leave him here. That made my searching much more intent, I had to find him. He was the only friend I had other then Ulquiorra, and I hate to admit it but also my fraccion, I didn't want to lose Jow.

I had to stop for a bit to eat again, needed to keep up the energy, before continuing. Aaroneiro found a bunch of vampire bats, but Jow was a fruit bat so he was different. He was black, while all of those were brown. Though it was slightly entertaining to see him get attacked by said vampire bats because he encroached on their territory.

I had to eventually give up the search, unfortunately it got too dark so see. So I sat moping around hoping for Jow to come back, though it didn't seem likely. We'll be leaving tomorrow, so not only will I have to leave him behind but he won't have any readily food sources available. It seems that it was a season called summer on earth, which means that many of the fruit bearing trees had already bore fruit and were done till next year.

Yes Jow can eat insects but fruit was the main portion of his diet, he probably wouldn't survive winter here. If I don't find him by tomorrow he might die, and just the thought of that makes me extremely sad. I can't let that happen, though I fear I have no choice.

So I'm going to bed depressed, hoping against all hope that he returns.

Day one hundred and five
Saturday
Dear fucking journal,

Jow came back! I woke up this morning and he was hanging upside down in our tent, but what was surprising was a brown bat hanging beside him. Jow had a girlfriend now, and she's a vampire bat. It turned out that she was the one feeding from the others, Ulquiorra translated for me. How he could talk bat talk is beyond me, but he's able to.

I named her Orra, and I'm going to keep her. Jow seems to really like her, and she really like him back. I didn't want to separate them, so I won't. Orra's coming back to Las Noches with us, and Aizen even agreed on it. Said something about everyone needing a companion, I didn't really care I just got to indulge Jow so I was happy.

Breakfast was made and we ate it up, Karite who had fallen absoulty in love with Orra spent most of the morning playing with her. She doted on her all day, even giving her Tousen to drink from. The justice freak completely and utterly freaked, going so far as to hide under Gin's sleeping bag. Pussy, he couldn't take a bite from a little vampire bat.

Szayel after learning the cause of his bite mark calmed down, he then remarked that he'd be able to make a nutrient drink similar to blood so I can take Orra back with us. Our blood as Hollow's would be bad for her, in gigai's we have human like blood. Meaning she can drink from us now, but not when we return. So the drink for her would be good, it means she'd be able to live with us happily.

So after this morning ended and it progressed into noon we all packed up and got ready to return home, which unfortunately meant that Aizen had to drive us back to Karakura town. In other words we had to travel in a death trap for three hours straight. If the first time he drived was horrible, Aizen only got worse with experience, not better.

We almost went into the lake, Aizen had put the bus in drive instead of reverse. So after that we finally got onto the road, only to almost run into a tree as soon as we got there. I had never prayed to live a day of my afterlife, I had never believed in a higher power. Today however I prayed to live, and after we almost hit our eighth car I knew that there wasn't one.

After arriving in Karakura town we had almost hit twelve trees, fourteen cars, eight pedestrians, we ran in the ditch nine times, almost fell into a pond and two rivers, our engine blew out once, got pulled over by nine cops, and almost died twelve times. I really don't like Aizen's driving, and I was never as glad as the time we got to return to Las Noches. Using a gargantuan was the best thing in the world, and I'm so happy that the whole ordeal was over.

After arriving back home I automatically set up Orra a place to live, making sure to add a small bowl in Jow's cage for her food. Jow seemed content with his new mate, and Orra seemed slightly happy as well. Both of them are now taking up residence in my Hollow's hole, side by side hanging upside down. Karite is always bugging me to play with her though, and I have to fight her off with my sword.

After today I was ready for bed, near death experiences takes a lot out of you. And I had plenty today, with Aizen driving I'm surpried I'm even still alive. When we landed in Karakura town my fraccion actually jumped out of the bus and kissed the ground, so it proved that I'm not the only one who is terrified of Aizen's driving.

So I'm off to bed with a new roomate, Orra slept happily next to Jow.

End

LMAO answer of the week! The one answer or in this case two reviews that made me laugh out loud. They are by: Sudden Love and the one who has their third review used in a row for the LMAO response! Mistress -Freak! They both made me laugh so hard that I couldn't choose one over the other, so here they are! Both winners!

Mistress -Freak

A chef!! It's the perfect plan, I say. All that hard work just to have some of the High Espadas give you threats about not working?! Karite's sanity was a fair price to pay, I'm afraid... Just LOOK at what see did! She FED!- WELL!It's sort of sad, too, in a way. In these troubling times, people need their jobs. Gotta brink home the bacon somehow, right?(*cough* steal from the employer *cough*)Now how will they feed their children!?!? T_TAw, well no one cares about the spoon's illegal love children, anyway.- You read that right. You couldn't NOT expect him to be a chef with being a freaking SPOON!! Whatever bad things happen, it's because he's going around drugging food. He gave Grimmy a break by drugging Karite but that doesn't mean he knew she wouldn't still bug him. (Evil genius, he is...^_^)

Sudden Love

Coffee? where do ya get coffee in los(t) nachos, eh, noches? That was f**king chocolate milk and crack...or weed. Idk which nnoitora sells. But anyway, did anyone think of a drug test? has anyone noticed that nnoitora's eye is all squinty? ITS THE DRUGS! He needed a day off, so he gave her chocolate milk and f**king drugs!...that or aizen had something up gins sleeve. Yes, it was gins drugs. aizen put them to good use XD X3
