Chapter Forty Two:

I Really Need to Get Around to Finishing This Story

She felt a familiar sinking of disappointment as she looked to the person waiting for her. It wasn't Urahara- oh, well, what had she been waiting for?

But it wasn't like she knew anyone else…

"Hello, Seren." The stranger said politely. He had smoky, gray-blue cat eyes, a delicate face, and longish, dark brown hair, jaw length. He was tall and thin, probably about five foot eight. He had a hole in the middle of his stomach, and the remains of a mask at the sides of his head, in great horns.

"Are you done staring yet?" He asked. "Wait," he chuckled. "Of course, you probably don't recognize me. It's been a while since you saw me."

But Seren was already walking closer to him. She had very good hunch who this was…

She grasped his face and looked into his eyes. "Chompy?!" She cried, shocked.

He nodded, and smiled.

"OMIGOD IT'S MY CHOMPERSSS!!" Seren cried with a sudden rush of love and squeezed him to her chest in a hug. "Oooooh, my Chompers!!"

Chompy simply smiled and purred.

Ulquiorra blinked at them all, wondering exactly what was happening.

"Do you remember Ulquiorra?!" She asked.

"Oh yes," Chompy smirked at her. "He tried to kill me."

He said it in such a nice tone.

Seren froze, then looked at Ulquiorra, who also had his surprised face on.

Of course, only she could tell.

"Well, what happened since you left?! Tell me!" She asked excitedly.

"Well," Chompy began, "because I ate a lot of your reiatsu, which was very powerful, I quickly progressed into a Vasto Lorde, and was then changed into an Arrancar by Aizen, and here I lay. They call me Kiyoshi now, but you can call me Chompy."

"Aah, you're so cute! You're still the cutie I remember!" Seren continued to shriek. She grabbed Chompy and squeezed him again.

Oh brother, Rabaeth said sarcastically.

Then Seren froze.

"YOOOOOWWWCH!" She screamed and wagged her arm, to find Chompy biting the other end of it. "CHOMPY!"

"Whaat?" He mumbled, muffled by her arm in his mouth.

"That hurts a lot more than when you were littler!" Seren cried, shaking her arm to get him off. He stubbornly held on as she owwed and shook.

"Oh. Sorry." Chompy let go and wiped his mouth. "Old habits die hard."

"No kidding!" Seren muttered, rubbing her arm, which now had a large red bite mark on it.

Chompy just smiled at her.

"I came to be your fraccion," he told her. Seren blinked, surprised.

"Um… sorry, but I'm not an Espada. Actually a hostage, if you will. They won't let me go. Haha." She rubbed the back of her head, embarrassed.

"Huh." He replied.

"Well, you can be Ulquiorra's fraccion-"

"NO." Ulquiorra stated-

"-Okay then, or Grimmjow's fraccion!"

"Hmm." Then Kiyoshi's face lit up. "Is that the guy with the blue hair who basically molested you?!"

"Umm… yeah…" Seren mumbled. "You don't need to put it like that. It sounds weird then…"

"Well, it was weird." Kiyoshi pronounced. "Freakin' perv."

"Yeah, that too." Seren smiled. "Oh, but I missed you. I've had a really, really bad time of it since you left."

"Well, let's hear it!" Kiyoshi encouraged.

"I'M GONNA KILL THAT NNOITRA! HE'S GONNA DIE!" Kiyoshi shrieked, making wringing motions with his hands. "I'M GONNA STRANGLE HIM!"

"Yeah!" Seren cheered. "Boy, am I glad I finished that story. It took a long time."

"Umm.. Did you tell that Ulquiorra guy about Urahara?" Kiyoshi asked. Ulquiorra himself, of course, had long since left.

"No!" Seren shook her head. "He didn't even tell him about the whole shinigami powers. Or at least, I don't think he did. And you're the only one who knows about it, so keep it a secret!"

"Wow. Your life- that's depressing, Seren-chan," Kiyoshi said.

"Yeah, I know." She sighed wearily. "I hate my life."

"Huh. Well, we can go bother that new Wonderweiss kid. He seems to have taken a liking to Mr. Braids."

"No he's… creepy? I'm sorry, that Tousen guy freaks me out… By the way, I met that Wonderweiss kid today. He didn't really do anything." Seren smiled. "Oh, I missed you so much. It almost killed me when I let you go, but I'm glad you did. You got to evolve!"

"Yeah. Your reiatsu's pretty potent stuff." Kiyoshi nodded. "Well, if he's boring that's the last thing I want to do… Are you SURE we can't visit Grimmjow?! Please, please, please?!" He begged.

Seren sighed and rubbed her temples. She really did not want to go back…

"So, are we going to go bother the blue-nette?" Kiyoshi continued excitedly.

"You bet…" Seren resisted the urge to go jump off one of the castle's ramparts. Oh yeah, that was impossible because she couldn't go outside.

Damn you, Aizen!
