Chapter Forty Five:

Yes

Seren woke up suddenly. She breathed for a minute, not daring to move.

What had happened last night?- oh.

Oh shit!

Oh crap, she had to go. Talk to Mila Rose about this- she'd know what to do! Well, actually, she could imagine what she'd say:

Okay, you've done step one. Okay, on to step two: fuck him!

Oh, Mila Rose…

She sighed and rubbed her forehead.

Last night, Ulquiorra had put her to bed like a child, and she'd refused to let go of him. He'd stayed- until she fell asleep, apparently.

Part of her was fizzing and bubbling with joy, erupting under the surface. The other part was just thinking, oh crap, oh crap, oh crap…

She fell back on the bed.

All she could think about was what Grimmjow and the others would say. She could see it now…

Kimi: HOLY CRAP! SEREN-SAMA! WHAT HAS HE DONE TO YOU?!

Grimmjow: So, you won't let me touch you, but ULQUIORRA?! WHAT THE HELL?!

Sunsun: O.O

Apache: WTF?!

D-Roy: …

Mila Rose: So… did you fuck or what?

She sighed and put her face into the pillow.

She just wouldn't talk about it, that's all.

Okay, now that the responsible part of her was satisfied…

"YES!" She cried, throwing her fist into the air triumphantly. "Yes, yes, yes, yes!" She jumped on the bed and bounced on it, jumping up and down. "Yes, yes, yes!"

Then she missed a step and- "OWCH!" fell off the bed.

She climbed back up again. "YES!"

She danced around the room, prancing. "Yes, yes, YES!"

She opened all the doors in Ulquiorra's quarters and shouted "YES!" into each of them.

She grabbed a bottle of shampoo and sang "yes!" using it as a mike.

She threw the pillows at the wall. "Yes, yes!"

Eventually she stopped the sugar high, and collapsed on the bed, panting. "Ay, I'm tired. I probably shouldn't try that again but… yes, YES, YESSSS!"

She skipped through the halls, if only to shed some excess energy. Then- oh. Oh yeah. She'd kind of left Kimi and Grimmjow in the dark.

They probably thought she'd gotten killed.

She sped down the hallways, down the familiar way to Grimmjow's room. She opened the door and-

"SEREN?!" Kimi shrieked. "IT'S YOU!" She grabbed her and squeezed Seren. "I was so worried! I thought Ulquiorra had finally killed you off!"

"Thanks. That makes me feel so good," Seren replied sarcastically, but she couldn't resist smiling.

"There you are, you stupid lug!" Grimmjow said joyfully, and wrapped her up in another bear hug. "It's good to see you, still alive! Did he rat you out to Aizen?"

"Surprisingly, I don't think so," she replied. "I haven't been sent to Szayel for testing, anyways."

"So, did anything else happen?" Kimi asked nonchalantly.

"..No," Seren replied, though on the inside she was dying to tell her all about last night. It was eating away at her! She had to tell somebody!

Well, on the second hand, maybe not…

She hadn't been here for very long, but she could bet Ulquiorra had some enemies here. And if they thought that she was a way to get to him…

She shivered to think of what might happen.

"Well come on and play uno with us!" Grimmjow said excitedly. Apparently this new game was pretty fun. "We'll show you how!"

"Actually, I'd probably better get back to Ulquiorra's. I'm trying to stay on his good side, you know? I came to let you guys know I haven't died yet." Seren replied nervously. The truth was, she just wanted to wait for him and see him again…

"Aww, bummer. He's keeps you on such a tight leash. I'd hate to see what he'd do with his girlfriend," Kimi commented.

Seren's heart froze for a minute.

"Aww, Ulquiorra'll never get anything close to that!" Grimmjow laughed. "He's too creepy. What kind of freakish girl would want a weirdo like that?"

"Yeah," Kimi nodded enthusiastically. "She's probably have eight arms and two horns growing out of her head- no offense, Seren."

The corner of Seren's mouth curled up with chagrin. Well, that answered that question.

"Okay, Seren, if you have to." Kimi frowned and hugged her friend. "Let me tell you, if he gets any crazier, I will beat his ass in!"

"All righ- AACK!" She gurgled as Grimmjow wrapped her in a tight bear hug.

She could feel her organs starting to come up through her neck-

"Okay… Grimmjow- lemme go before you squeeze my guts out," she choked.

"Oh. Whoops." He grinned. "Sorry."

"You don't look sorry at all," she commented dryly. "Aaanyways, I have to go. Bye!" She waved enthusiastically and then sped away.

"She sure left fast," Shawlong replied behind Grimmjow and Kimi.

"Nonsense, what gave you that idea?" They replied.
