Everybody cleared out of the meeting room, except for three. Orihime, Ulquiorra-sama and me.

"Woman," Ulquiorra-sama said. "Stay with my Fraccion, make sure that she doesn't cause trouble. I have some...business, to attend to. I shall return to escort you to your room later."

I gazed at my master, watching as he exited the room. Halibel waited in the doorway, arms crossed underneath her chest as they usually are.

Orihime stepped over to me cautiously.

"Chie-chan...?" Orihime said questioningly. I neglected to give her any answer.

"Chikara Konoe...?" she tried again. I still refused to give her a response. I am perfectly happy sitting curled up in a ball on my chair ignoring the world, so piss off.

"...Ohime-sama?"

...That's done it. I stood up and began shouting, the noise bouncing off the walls and echoing throughout the empty room."Stop calling me that! I'm not a princess!" I yelled. "Nobility. Means. NOTHING!"
At first, she was a little surprised. Soon, a smile broke out on her face. "So it is you."

I sighed, the sigh followed shortly by a brief nod.

"How did you get here?" she asked.

I hesitated before answering. "...Ulquiorra-sama."

As his name was mentioned, Ulquiorra glanced over to me from the doorway with Halibel. I looked down to my feet shyly to avoid eye contact.

When I felt his gaze lift from me, I let out a small sigh and head towards the exit. As I did, a hand clutched my shoulder and another Orihime's, black painted nails digging into both. Orihime let out a small squeal of pain whilst I stood emotionlessly, a familiar voice rang in my ears; the girl with the pigtails from before.

"Looks like Ulquiorra has two bitches now," she sneered. "If I find that you - either of you - do anything to hurt my Ulqui-kun or try to steal him away from me, I can assure you that you won't see tomorrow."

Recalling the moment he rejected me, I held my head high and dusted her hand off of my shoulder. "I wouldn't worry about that," I said confidently, striding out of the room with Orihime, our hands interlocked.

Once we were out of ear-shot, she thanked me and began playing 'never-ending questionnaire' as I wandered through the plain halls that made up Las Noches. I tuned out everything she said.

"Look, just... Hush, okay?" I whispered, waving a hand dismissively.

"Okay..." she frowned.

Who's on my revenge list again?

Gin and Grimmjow.

Let's see... Weak points... Grimmjow's a cat, so... I GOT IT! It's genius! It's full-proof! It's gonna get them both!

"Himeee-chaaan?" I sang as I turned around, my skirt swishing elegantly as I did.

"Yes, Chie-chan?" she replied nervously.

"Why don't you make Gin one of your famous bowls of... Anything. I'm sure he'd love to try your food." If she doesn't manage to spill it by accident, her food will still get Gin right where I want him.

"Uh, sure. But why?"

"No reason..." Orihime never really approved of my pranks, claiming that they were cruel and unnecessary. Thankfully, she was dumb enough to overlook things like this that helped me with my devious schemes.

"Uhm, okay, where's the kitchen?" Orihime asked.

"It's that way then right, straight, left, straight, right, and a final right," I directed, she concentrated hard to remember the information.

"Alright! I got it!" she smiled victoriously. "We meet back here after, right?" I nodded and she rushed off towards the kitchen.

I have my own little agenda written in my head.

First, I must stop off at Szayel's lab.

I sonido'd through the halls, the path to his lab already memorised through my numerous amount of visits.

Before I even had a chance to knock on the door, he stood there in the doorway, waiting.

"Ah, Chie-chan, I expected your arrival," he smirked deviously. "You have a new plan for revenge on Gin, don't you?" I nodded. "And you require my assistance, am I correct?"

"Pretty much. I need catnip." My request surprised him a little, also leaving a questioning look on his face. "I made a deal with Kitsune to get Grimmjow for her."

"Ah," he nodded understandingly. "Come this way."

Within a few moments, I was back outside the lab with a small bag of super-catnip in hand.

"Thanks," I smiled sweetly.

"My pleasure."

I wonder how Orihime is doing... I hope she didn't get lost. Well, regardless, my to-do list still isn't complete.

Next stop: Gin's room.

And speaking of the devil...

The silver-haired freak approached me with his usual sly grin pasted across his face, and the memories began to flood back into my head. I shook them out, my fake, but incredibly convincing, smile graced my face as he came closer.

"Heya, Chie-chan," he said.

"Hi Gin..." I tossed the bag of catnip around in my hands behind my back, smirking to myself deviously in my mind.

"What'cha up ta?" he asked curiously.

Suddenly, another idea placed itself in my head.

"Searching for Orihime. I lost her after the meeting and Las Noches is sorta big. Could you help me find her?" I questioned innocently.

"Sure! An' 'bout earlier, we're okay now, righ'?"

"Sure, sure..." I mumbled. "Let's split up, we might find her faster then," my usual perky attitude returned. "You search near the kitchen - she likes to cook a lot - and I'll search Ulquiorra-sama's. Besides, even if I don't find her there, training is soon."

He nodded understandingly and flashstepped away. I started on my casual stroll towards his room, when I realised my training really WAS soon! I sped up my pace to sonido point and accomplished my mission with ease. Now it's all up to Orihime.

(POV SWITCH! To 'Hime!)

Well, I tried my best. I really hope he likes this...

I held the bowl of chicken, mustard, strawberry, banana and bacon soup, infused with a medley of herbs, carefully. I wonder how they even got these supplies. Maybe they go shopping in the World of the Living! Just like me!

I also wonder where I'll find Ichimaru-kun. He can't be too far, I feel his reiatsu quite strong.

As I reached for the door handle the door flew open. I lost my balance and toppled into whoever stood in the doorway, spilling the soup on them in the process.

"Oh, I-I'm so sorry..." I stuttered. I gazed up at the tall figure. "...Ichimaru-kun!"

"Oh, Hime-chan, t'is okay." He pet me lightly, slightly cringing from the burns.

"I'll clean it up right away, Ichimaru-kun!" I flustered, crouching to pick up the bowl.

"Hime-chan, don' worry 'bout it." He offered his hand to help me stand. I hesitated, but took it anyway. "Now let's go fin' Ulqui-kun, he's probably looking' for ya."

"Oh! But what about Chie-chan?" I asked.

"She'll fin' 'er way, let's go."
