Cuddle buddies and Consequences
Disclaimer: ok we don't own Bleach and such just our wonderful plot and the main characters. Oh or Nick and Nora's infinite playlist. Sorry that it took me a while to write this chapter, trust me Brooke was on my butt about it the whole time. But we've been so busy with our Homecoming Week stuff and all the homework our teachers have given us. So now that I have a cold and homework free I decided to write a new chapter...So READ ON!!!!

I woke up the next morning snuggled into something really warm. Not wanting to wake up just yet, I cuddled closer not really bothering to know what I was cuddling into. I felt an arm wrap around my shoulders….wait a sec! I snapped out of Dreamland and looked at who my mysterious cuddle-buddy was. Weirdly enough it was Stark, who was hogging my entire blanket and trying to pull me closer to him. The room was freezing. The air conditioner was still on from last night's Movie Night, spitting out below freezing air. My toes and fingertips were lucky not to be blue. Shivering I walked over to the air conditioner and turned it off.
Everyone in the room was still asleep. I looked at the alarm clock on the nightstand in between the two beds. It was Five-thirty in the morning. I really wanted to go back to sleep. But I was the first up and wanted a hot shower. For some reason we always had to fight for shower rights. It was a non ending battle for the bathroom. Haha for whoever had a cold shower and today it wasn't going to be me. I grabbed my bag and headed for the small bathroom.
After I turned the water off, I climbed out and wrapped a towel around me. I peeked out the door to see if anyone was up. Nope they were all knocked out cold. I closed the door to keep the warm heat from escaping. I picked through my bag looking for something to wear. Picking out a pair of jeans and a black tank top; I got dressed and looked at myself in the mirror. Grabbing a brush and ran it through my hair. I finished getting ready and walked out of the bathroom. Everyone was still asleep. Either they were dead, or really heavy sleepers. I always thought that the Espada were really light sleepers…well other than Stark of course. I looked at the alarm clock again and it said Six. Screwing the people I was forced to share a room with I kicked Emocar. He opened his eyes and glared at me.
"What do you want you piece of trash?" he asked me very annoyed that I woke him up.
"You have to leave before the other chaperones find out you were here the whole night." I said. He grumbled a very unlike Emocar way and stood up. Not bothering to say anything else he walked out of the room and into the one he shared with Nnoitra and Grimmjow. I was really glad that Nnoitra, Szayel, and Grimmy left early. I was afraid of angry sleep deprived Espada like them. They were not fun when they had to be woken up. I woke Harribel up too telling her that she might want to go and get ready with the other Espada. She said goodbye and went across the hall to Grimmjow, Nnoitra, and Emocar's room.
I looked over the mess we made the night before. There were plastic cups littered the ground and empty popcorn bags were crumpled thrown in different directions. Empty pizza and Chinese takeout boxes were stacked all over the small table and chair set in the corner. Man did we pig out last night. Oh boy this was going to be fun to clean up. Mrs. Richardson made it very clear to all of us that we had to clean up our messes. She told us that if we ever wanted to come back, we would have to leave the place the same way it was before we came here; Which if you really think about it, is kinda hard seeing as there are maids that clean up all the hotel rooms and they clean better than the average teenager or even an adult. So I just settled with cleaning up all of the empty food boxes we dug into last night. Cleaning up the room took about fifteen minutes, and by the time I was done Brooke, Fran, Lilinette had woken up. Brooke and Lilinette looked at each other and then the bathroom door. Sprinting to it, Brooke shoved Lilinette out of the way and locked the door on her. Lilinette pouted and I heard Brooke laughing on the other side of the door.
"Don't pout. You know that you take the longest shower other than Stark." I said tying the bag O' Litter and putting it by the garbage. My comment made her pout more and she sat on the bed next to Fran, waiting for Brooke to get out of the bathroom. There was a knock on our door and a voice to go with it.
"Get up! The buses leave in an hour and a half." The voice left and went on to another room to tell them the same thing. Thank god they didn't come in. Stark was still sound asleep on the floor. I went over to him and tried shaking him awake.
"Stark get your lazy ass up!" I said. His response was to grab me and pull me down. I tried to get up but he held me closer. I hit the lazy Espada over the head, but that didn't help at all it, just made his death grip on me stronger. I so didn't have time for this. Getting an idea I grinned.
"Stark" I whispered sweetly in his ear. I heard him mumble something incoherent. I slammed my knee into his stomach and heard a satisfying oof come out of his mouth and abruptly woke him up with a start.
"What's with the rude wake-up call?" he asked innocently. I stood up and looked at the incredibly lazy Espada. Fran and Lilinette started laughing.
"We have to get ready to leave." He nodded and got up.
"I'll be back" he said. Opening the door, he went next door to the room he and Szayel shared. I packed my duffle bag and waited for Stark to come back. Brooke walked out of the bathroom and Lilinette raced past her. Fran got up and went across the hall slamming on Emocar and Grimmy's door.
"Let me in you fistful of assholes!" the door opened and she walked in. I guess she went to shower seeing as she was never going to get a shower here. Brooke watched me packing.
"You ready to go to breakfast yet?" She asked. I shook my head.
"I'm almost ready." She shrugged and started to randomly throw all of her stuff her bag. There was a knock on our door and Grimmjow poked his head in.
"I'm starving, come down to breakfast with us" Brooke quickly threw the rest of her stuff in her bag and followed Grimmjow out the door. Looking around I found my leather jacket and put it on. Stark came back in the room dressed in different clothes and a bag in his hands. It was a frilly thing covered in pink lace.
"What's the bag for?" I asked. Stark scowled at me before he answered.
"Yesterday when you went to the Fudge Shop, Lilinette dragged me to some store and made me carry her bag. I don't want it so I'm leaving it here." Lilinette poked her head out of the bathroom.
"Yay you brought my bag with you!" she said grabbing it out of his hands.
"What exactly is in the bag?" I asked. When it concerned Lilinette I was a little skeptical.
"I can't tell you! It's a beginning of summer present. I got one for you Fran, Brookie, and me. Plus I swore Stark to secrecy so he can't tell you!" she squealed. Lilinette was never ever not hyper. Hyperness was her default setting. I rolled my eyes at her. She was such a weirdo.
"You ready to go eat now?" I asked. Both of them nodded and we all left to go down to eat.
Brooke, Grimmy, Szayel, Nnoitra were sitting at a table by one of the many windows. I went in line and grabbed some waffles, a bagel with cream cheese and a glass of orange juice. I pulled a chair out and sat next to Grimmy. Brooke looked around the sixth Espada and gasped at me.
"You don't want to sit by me?" she said fake crying. I laughed and looked at her.
"I do but there isn't any room smarty. I heart you're hair this morning too" I said digging into my waffles. I waited...three…two...one...
"But what about the rest of me??" she said gasping again.
"What about the rest of you?" Grimmjow said with a mouthful of eggs. Brooke hit him in the head with one of those plastic spoons.
I started cracking up as Lilinette plopped down next to me with a bowl filled with fruit loops. We ate while we talked waiting and ready to go home. After a while Mrs. Richardson got up and got us to quiet down.
"How was everyone's trip?" We all cheered "all right! So today we're going home. You have about a half hour to finish eating and make sure you have everything." She finished speaking and our little misfit group got up. Double checking that we had everything we went and got on one of the busses. Brooke and I each put our stuff in different seats; hey we wanted to sleep on the way home there isn't anything wrong with that. Lilinette and Harribel sat in a seat together again. Everyone pretty much had the same seats as we did coming up here.
The rest of our huge group got on one of the two busses, we did role call, and then we were on our way. Well the other bus was we had some issues. Brooke wanted her own seat and there wasn't another one for Grimmjow. I laughed and she glared as Grimmjow sat next to her. She then had to make a comment.
"Well that's not fair, Stark is sharing a seat with Lilinette and Harribel, I think he needs to sit with you, KATIE!" she yelled.
In the end if Brooke was somewhat miserable then I had to be too. Stark and I sat in a seat and Grimmjow sat with Brooke. This was going to be a long, loud ride. I ended up falling asleep an hour into the bus ride home. When I woke up almost everyone on our bus was asleep, all except for the bus driver, that would be very bad. I fell back asleep and stayed asleep until we reached the school. Stark ended up having to wake me up; sucked for him because apparently I accidentally kicked him in my sleep. It was about noon by the time we got off the bus and loaded my car up with the luggage. What we couldn't fit in my car we sent with Harribel, Nnoitra, Szayel, and Ulquiorra. Fran's mom came to pick her up, so we said goodbye to her. By the time we got home, I was wide awake. As for everyone else, they fell back asleep. We pulled in the driveway, and then started to unpack everything. Gin was in the kitchen waiting for us.
"How was your trip?" he asked us with one of his creepy grins.
"Great" I said "Aizen wants to see us don't he?" I asked probably guessing right. Gin nodded and led Brooke, Lilinette, Stark, Grimmjow, Szayel, and I down to Aizen's basement throne room.
"Well" he said looking us over "I expect you had a good time?" I rolled my eyes.
"Yes we did, why did you call us down here?" I asked wanting him to get right to the point. I had better things to do then bother wondering what Aizen was going to say. Unfortunately it concerned me a lot and by the time he finished talking I was seething.
"The few days you were gone, a group of soul reapers have been searching the city for me. It has been an annoyance on my part. I have been thinking about pulling you from your studies, but I would rather you finish them. Now that the Soul Society knows that I am somewhere here, I don't want you going anywhere without one or more of my Arrancars. When the last day of your schooling comes, we will head back to Hueco Mundo. I have been wanting to return to Los Noches for a while so we will take time and go back." With that he dismissed us with a wave of his hand. I turned and stomped up the stairs.
"He can't do that to us. What are we going to tell our friends? They're going to think that we got kidnapped or something!" I looked at Brooke and Lilinette. They both shrugged and I stormed outside. Screwing Aizen's rules I headed down a trail into the surrounding forest and didn't come back till later that night. I really didn't want to go inside and face questions and scoldings by Justice Man A.K.A Tousen. I looked up at the roof and decided that as the best place to be. I climbed up and laid on my back looking up at the sky; while later a figure came, jumped up to the roof and stood over me.
"I really don't want to talk right now" I said to Stark. Without listening, he laid next to me. I rolled my eyes and sat up.
"Why are you up here?" I asked.
"Did you listen to what Aizen-sama said? No more going off by yourself." I got angry again.
"Well he shouldn't be able to push us around like dolls. I don't want to leave yet." I muttered. Stark sat up and I looked over at him.
"You always told me you wanted to go to Los Noches." He said staring at me.
"I do but I didn't think we had to go so soon." I looked out at the field across the road.
"I'm pretty sure you're going to like it there. Now go inside before we both get in trouble." We both stood up and dropped down to the ground walking into the house I thought about going to Los Noches. Stark is probably right. We're going to love Los Noches. I can't wait to go. Oh how wrong I was. Stupid Karma, Fate, whatever you want to call it. I was so not going to like anything for a while.
FIN!!!
