"The stupid ass is heavier than he looks," growled the red-head.
Shuuhei shot him a reproachful glare and sighed.
"Y-you guys could un-sh-shackle my legs. I'll walk with you," I spoke up. I would've slapped myself at that moment if I wasn't chained.
"What makes you think we can trust you, stupid Arrancar!?" yelled the red head. He stopped dragging me and turned toward me with utter hatred in his eyes. He was just about to kick me when I stuttered out" I s-swear on w-what's left-t of my heart I w-won't betray your trust!"
He stopped mid-kick and stared at me in confusion.
'Whadaya mean worm?"
I gulped and somehow was able to move my jacket open so he could see my heart. He gasped and motioned Shuuhei toward me to see it. Shuuhei calmly walked up and leaned over me to examine the hole. His eyes practically popped out of socket when he realized I had a heart, slowly, but surely beating in my chest.
"Renji, are you seeing this too?"
"Holy crapsicles…his hole doesn't go through all the way,"
"Thank you Lieutenant Obvious."
Renji looked to Shuuhei with an annoyed glare and looked back at the hole.
"D-d-do you believe me now?"
Instead of answering they went off to the side at a distance where I couldn't hear them. When they came back the still looked uncertain. They bent down to unchain my chains though so I would be walking soon. I hated being an inconvenience.
They helped me up and helped me steady my feet. I walked with them a ways before either said anything.
"Mayuri is going to be especially interested in you, you poor fucker," Renji said abruptly.
He was right.
"What's this you say? A new specimen for me? How interesting! ^^," Mayuri replied when we arrived."What is it this time? Hollow, Blank, or maybe a Bount? Tell me tell me!!!" God, I've never seen anyone so excited to see a "specimen" before. He scared the living shit out of me too. He was white all over and wore a large pointed hat. His gold eyes showed no mercy for me or any other thing. Apparently I shuddered because Shuuhei glanced over at me and Renji gripped my arm tighter.
"He's an Arrancar. One with a heart," Renji told Mayuri evilly. I was scared out of my wits. Would Mayuri tear out what was left of my heart? Maybe put it in a jar to show future generations?
"Well that is interesting," Mayuri purred.
He came closer and moved my jacket half-way down my arm to get a better look. Then like the bastard he was, he poked it with his one long fingernail.
Pain shot through my veins all over my body. I gasped, fell to the ground, and screamed all in one motion. I writhed in pain, causing the chains to clank noisily. My scream seemed to last an eternity, before I finally stopped and fell on my face.
"Very interesting indeed. Thank you gentlemen you may go," Mayuri purred. Renji stared at me with some other emotion than hatred. Was it …regret? Shuuhei looked me over in pity but, neither said anything. As they left I decided not to hate Renji. He didn't know me but still regretted giving me to Mayuri. I looked up to see Mayuri 2 inches from my face. He grinned and then whispered
"Time for more tests my friend."
I decided to hate him truly for the rest of my days.
