Ok guess who feels soooooo bad for updating so late? Well this author. I'm so sorry! I just couldn't bring my self to write and then a whole bunch of stuff happened and I didn't have time to write. But I am back! And suprizingly since school is starting I actually might be able to update more. Why? Well since I do x-country I have super long bus rides and I tend to write during those.

So yeah, again I feel soooo bad! It's been a whole month! But I will try to ignore my lazyness and get my butt in check and write!

Oh and I also came to the realization that this story might have too much romance stuff going on and it's an adventure/humor type story, so I will try to cut back on that stuff. It will be there, just it won't be the major focus.

Last time I left you with a major cliffhanger! What will happen? Read on to know muahahahahahahaahahahaha


I had a small mental freak out. And at first I had no idea what to do. But then my mind started reeling at a hundred miles per hour and it felt like sparks where running through my muscles so they could fire instantaneously.

As Grimmjow leaned in my hand shot up in a flash and quickly flicked him on the forehead causing him to reel back. "Bad kitty! It's not fun to make fun of people almost drowning!" I said with a slightly irritated tone in my voice.

I knew I wanted to now get some alone time because I was seriously so wrong on the whole 'he don't like me' thing...

Because what just happened was some pretty damning evidence.

And of course now I had no idea what to do. I knew it was too soon for anything, plus I was scared out of my mind when he only leaned in. Yeah defiantly not ready yet.

Grimmjow held his forehead "Ouch! That hurt damn it!" he whined his eyebrows slightly scrunched. He wasn't exactly expecting to get rejected like that either. Or maybe she hadn't really known what was going on and truly was mad it him for pushing her in. Which brought a question to his mind.

"Have you ever dated?"

My head snapped twards Grimmjow like a bullet "u-um what?" I barely managed to choke out not really expecting the question.

"Have you ever dated,"

Silence..

"Have you?"

I coughed "awh well um ahhh..." and decided then was a good time to retreat underwater. I quickly made my way to the other end of the pool as fast as I could under the water.

Grimmjow floated there and watched my retreat. "I take that as a no ," he said to himself then dived in too. Ehh even if he got rejected they where still friends...

He hoped.

I climbed out of the pool because I was pretty sure that Grimmjow had followed me to the other end. It was only two feet deep so I couldn't really do what I wanted to here so I quickly ran to be other side of the pool. Grimmjow followed me in the water his eyes gazed upon me.

I smirked. He was probably worried about our friendship. I didn't really care about what he did. We where still friends.

Although now I was going to be slightly more awkward.

But that didn't matter so... I stopped at the other end and Grimmjow eyed me expectantly. It seamed like he wanted me to make the next move, him not wanting to make the situation worse.

The smile on my face became evil as I squatted down slightly and widened my stance. Grimmjow watched in confusion and wondering as to what I was planing on doing. Then with the power of my legs I sprang into the air towards the water "Calabunga dude!" I shouted as I jumped into the pool creating a huge splash.

Grimmjow's eyes widened "Oh shit!" he said before diving into the water to avoid the splash. He quickly resurfaced to face me with his eyebrows scrunched in anger "What the hell was that?! He shouted.

I just pointed to him and laughed with one arm wrapped around my stomach. One of Grimmjows eyebrows was twitching and his hair was soaked, some of it coming down in the front of his face. Deciding to tease him I rose an eyebrow and smirked "What? Kitty don't like water,"

A tick mark appeared on Grimmjows forehead and he lunged for me and I quickly made my retreat strait down into the water. Then as soon as I hit the bottom of the pool I used my legs like a spring to shoot me at an angle towards the shallow end as Grimmjows momentum had him going the opposite direction.

After resurfacing I suck out my tongue and suck my thumbs in my ears. This caused Grimmjow to lunge again at me but the water where I was was to shallow for me to go under and spring away. So arms flailing I ran to the side of the pool while shouting "geahhaaaaaaa!" at the top of my lungs.

Grimmjow landed in the shallow area like a panther and turned to me.

I gripped the edge of the pool and was panting from running like a maniac "How in the world *pant* can you *pant* leap when it's like 7feet deep?!" I said gasping.

"I'm a boss... Whatever that is, but it seamed relevant," he answered me with a sadistic grin. He had heard Nikki say that about herself so he thought it would work. And her expression just proved him right.

I was suprized that Grimmjow would use that. My jaw was dropped slightly becuase of the shock. My expression then faded from surprised with jaw dropped, to evil " you are a boss," I said grin not fading. A plan was formulated in my brain.

Grimmjow grinned.

"Do you know what else you are?" I asked with a fake smile.

"What?" Grimmjow asked his cockiness showing. A grin spread on his face.

"A shnitsal" ( I have no idea if that's how you spell it so if it's not could you please correct me? Its what people called Doofenshmirtz in that one episode of Phineas and Ferb).

"That sounds like and insult,"

"Damn it he knows!"

Grimmjow fake frowned then decided to come after me again. A grin however sneaked its way back onto his face making him look evil. He quickly made his way in the water towards me.

Seeing him close in I decided to run again so I quickly made my way into the deeper water where I could swim. However Grimmjow could apparently move pretty fast in the water because in second he was behind me.

"Geah!" I shouted as I quickly did a spin with my arms out causing a splash of water to form. The water flew in a circle around me and some fell towards Grimmjow causing him to pause. Grabbing onto the edge of the pool I then pressed my feet on the cool side and used it to propel me away farther into the water.

Grimmjow soon rebounding from the sudden water attack decided to jump up onto the side of the pool, and then squatted down staring at me. He rose an eyebrow "What? Are you afraid of me?" he said.

"Well you do like killing people. Especially those who taunt you," I said as I shrugged my shoulders. I blinked then I laughed to myself after coming to a realization.

Grimmjow frowned "what are you laughing at now?" he asked. The laughing was random. Especially since she was just talking about him killing people who piss him off.

"Haha! It's just like Eustass-ya!" I laughed. Although Kid, was a little more you just look at him and he'll kill you. I smiled, what was it with me and evil guys?! Seriously like most of my favorite characters are evil or where once evil.

It's been like that since I was a kid. Starting with Hellboy, Hades, and Zuko.

Man they were awsome.

If ever I go to the One Piece universe I have a long list of people to meet. Sadly all the people I want to meet from this Universe I have, hmmm except Kempachi. I'll have to meet him. At least he is coming here soon.

Grimmjow crinkled his eyebrows in confusion "Eustass-ya?" he asked skeptically. The happiness when she said his name striking a nerve in Grimmjow.

"Well that's what Law calls him. He is actually Eustass Captain Kid! Captain of the Kid Pirates, and Highest ranking supernova with a bounty of over 400million belli!" I announced with a pleased smile.

Grimmjow shook his head "I seriously do not understand any of what you just said."

I shrugged my shoulders "Hey most don't," it was true. Most of my anime friends haven't watched much One Piece. Maybe like 5 episodes but not nearly enough to know what I'm talking about. Although I do have another friend that I can talk to (you know who you are... Hisa...gehee) about it. But not many friends.

Sadness.

I slowly started to sink to see if he wouldn't notice me trying to escape. Which apparently doesn't work too well when they are staring right at you. Ok so it wasn't one of my best plans.

Grimmjow stood up then starting walking on top of the water by using his retsu. I jaw dropped then calculated "wait... You were just making a platform with your restu to push off of weren't you..." I said with my eyes narrowed. Although I felt slightly stupid that I didn't figure it out sooner.

"Finally figured it out?"

"Hey! Only ninjas should be able to walk on water!" I retorted.

He was standing right next to me in the water looking down. An eyebrow was raised looking at me "what kind of ninjas are you talking about?"

"The best kind," I answered with a thoughtful spark in my eye while looking at Grimmjow wonderingly. I wasn't quite sure what his next move would be. But judging by earlier events it probably wasn't going to be anything to, ahh how should I put it? Heart stoping?

Grimmjow lowered the restu platform so he slowly became lower in the water and was standing in front of Nikki with a still confused expression on his face. "After all of the vague or confusing answers you give I have no idea why I will continue to ask. You would have fucking thought I would have learned by now," he said shaking his head at his own stupidity.

I used my arms to drift backwards in the water "I don't really blame you, it's just search of knowledge. Everyone knows knowledge is power," I answered as I closed my eyes allowing myself to become a floating blob in the water.

Grimmjow thought about what she said for a second. I did make sense, knowledge was power, he had heard that many times before. But he hadn't really realized he was gaining any knowledge just by talking to Nikki.

Putting a finger on his hollow piece in thought he thought back to the many things Nikki had said. Some of it... Well ok most of it was useless information in his brain, but maybe in the future it could come in handy.

Grimmjows head looked back to the girl floating in front of him. Nikki was just floating along in the water with a peaceful smile on her face. It was weird how someone who was thrown from their home into another dimension then locked inside a fortress could be so... Happy and calm.

He most likely would have killed a few people, wouldn't trust a single soul and would end up completely screwed in the end. So how was it she was so calm and collected? Didn't she have friends she missed back at home?

Grimmjow floated towards Nikki with scrunched eyebrows "How can you be so happy," he bluntly asked the floating girl. His expression was blank.

I just lightly smiled not even opening my eyes to look at he questioning Espada "it's water, I love water," I answered as I floated along. My mind didn't even think about what he really meant. I was just too calm. The water seamed to make everything else mute.

Grimmjow shook his head twards the floating girl "that not what I mean," he said to me in a somewhat harsh tone.

Hearing the tone difference I stoped in my little float along and I sat up opening my eyes to look at Grimmjow "what do you mean?" I asked, my brain raking around for plausible meanings.

"How are you so happy in Las Noches," Grimmjow said again in a slightly harsh time but this time with less of a growl. He didn't really even realize his tone was so harsh and continued to stare at Nikki with expecting eyes.

My voice faltered and my lip twitched as I answered in a weak tone "what do you mean?"

"You have friends at home in your home dimension right?" he asked with his eyebrow raised in slight annoyance. He could tell she knew exactly what he was asking her. But her body language was starting to give him his answer.

"Yeah why?" I asked with a fake smile on my face although my smile was starting to falter. I wasn't sure how long I could keep it plastered into my face.

"How can you be so happy when you have friends at home that are probably missing you? Your stuck in a place with a bunch of fucking dead people and you act like you belong here!" Grimmjow said not realizing his voice was becoming louder.

My eyes shout open in hearing of his question and the fact his voice was becoming louder. Why was he angry? My eyes dropped in sadness and one of my arms wrapped around the other as my head turned away from Grimmjow. "I...I...," I barely mumbled under my breath not really looking towards Grimmjow. I felt so weak and small at this moment but, I just couldn't hide it for some reason.

Grimmjow suddenly realized his harshness and felt slightly guilty. He looked towards Nikki with eyes saying sorry when he saw a tear come down her cheek.

"Oh shit," he said and in a second he was next to her and had his arms wrapped around her in a hug. He could feel her shudder and tense, but soon her body relaxed into his.

"I-I d-do...miss t-th-them..." I croaked my voice starting to fail "but I knew that I needed to stay strong, or my situation could end up worse," my voice was failing.

I could feel another tear fall and I became angry at myself. I don't cry, I just don't. And when I do cry it's because its serious... Like an anime death. But I just missed my friends and family. I've been here for like two weeks, I wonder what is happening to them? Do they even miss me?

Grimmjows grip on the crying girl tightened. Although it was slightly weird. Not the fact that she was crying but, she was silent. Tears just fell as he held her and she was almost dead silent except her breathing which had only slightly sped up.

"Sorry I asked ," he grumbled fealing stupid. Why the fuck did he ask a girl a question like that? Was he retarded? But then again this was the girl that got impaled and didn't shed a single tear.

A true smile came on my face as I looked up to him "it's ok, it actually better to not bottle my fealings or the crash could have been worse," she staited simply and Grimmjow could tell the tears stoped. Thank God because it was awkward.

Grimmjow smiled back to her "you know for all those stupid moments you have you still seam to be able to randomly pop a wise moment out of your ass,"

I burst out laughing at his comment and a bright smile came lighting my face up in an instant. Damn he always could cheer me up in a second.

Grimmjow let go of me and I swam over to the edge "I think I'm done with swimming, what about you?" I asked him the sadness of before gone. Of course I missed my friends but I knew no matter what I would get back to them.

Grimmjow knodded and also swam over to the edge. In a quick motion he pulled himself over the edge and to his feet, then turned to me who was still struggling to get up. "if I beat you in changing you have to sleep on my bed again!" he said then ran off.

"Damn it!" I shouted suddenly finding strength in my muslces. After what happened I wasn't comfortable with that! I shot up and quckly dashed across to the pool changing room so I could possibly finnish changing before him.

"friken, kitty, Espada, pervert..." I muttered as I changed as quickly as I could even though I knew it was futile. As I grabbed my wet bathing suit and rushed outside I could already hear the laughter showing who was the victor.

"Jashin damn it!" I shouted to the sky dramatically. Grimmjow only continued to laugh at me and my weird antics.

Slumping my shoulders I stomped past him and turned to face him only to stick out my tongue and continue my march.

Laughing at my antics Grimmjow followed behind as if everything that had happened at the pool hadn't really occurred.

See that's why I love water. It seamed to solve problems by washing them away and leaving the end product nice and clean.

Grimmjow came into pace with me still laughing and we were already walking down the halls. It became a peaceful silence. Just us walking side by side back to his room. I don't even know why I was listening, I never agreed to the bet. But then again the sleep I got when I slept on his bed was some of the best damn sleep I had gotten in a while.

I didn't think anything could break this moment of peaceful silence.

*Beeeppppp beeepppp!*

I spoke to soon.

The sound echoed down the halls and me and Grimmjow both looked to each other in confusion at this noise. What in Las Noches could that possibly be? I wasent even sure what the hell I was. Well anything it could logically be.

But soon we found the source of the noise as a convertible car turned around a corner. It was being driven by Erleana who was wearing a bright yellow shirt and white hammer pants, and Gin was dancing behind her in a bakini and a tutu. Red tinted both of their cheeks, showing that they had been drinking.

Gin didn't even open his eyes he just continued dancing along all weirdly and Erleana screamed the lyrics of the song that was playing on the radio. Neither of them even noticed Grimmjow and I standing baffled at the side of the hall.

I stopped and looked in horror as they drove by. Grimmjow did the same. "Jashin I hope her drinking doesn't effect me," I said, since she was part of my soul thus kinda, well, me.

I just shook my head and continued walking along.

"I wish I had never seen that," Grimmjow said as the car turned around another corner and made a loud *screeeeeeeccchhhhh!* Azein would probably find out and become rather angry.

"I wish I hadn't seen that either," I deadpanned. The image continuing to claw its way into my eyes. Even closing my eyes showed a forever imprinted snap shot of the event behind my eyelids.

No amount of water could ever erase that memory.
