"Oi, Onna."
He was met with silence. He knew that she could sense his presence before he even stepped foot in the room. It was as if she was merely testing his patience, trying to get him riled up.
If there was one thing Grimmjow hated, besides Ulquiorra, it was being ignored.
She didn't even flinch when he grabbed her by the collar of her arrancar uniform and held her off the ground. He wanted nothing more than to make them filled with fear.
But at the moment, they showed nothing.
No fear. No hatred.
Not even happiness.
Cobalt blue met smoky grey.
Seeing Orihime look at him with such a look only made his blood boil in rage. He wanted to see some form of emotion in her eyes.
He growled. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Even though he was getting mad, this never phased Orihime. She was warned by the other Espada not to make Grimmjow mad. But she wanted to see for herself how he'd react to being ignored.
He acted like a child at times, always throwing fits when no one listened to a word he said. It was like people were forced to talk with him otherwise they'd have their heads blown off.
Orihime saw through his bad boy act. She knew that he was all bark, no bite. Sure, she had seen him kill Luppi in front of her. But he has never pointed his finger at her and threatened to blow her head off with a cero.
She could feel his hesitance. While she knew he wanted to kill her for looking at him like that, something stopped him from doing so. It couldn't have been Aizen because Grimmjow never listened to him. He always ignored his orders and does whatever he sees fit. Not only did this intrigue her, it made her want to see him in every state possible.
Even his angry state.
A smile graced her lips, causing Grimmjow to blink in surprise before a frown appeared.
"Did you forget, Grimmjow?"
"Tch. Forget what?"
"I do have a name. It's Orihime. Not Onna."
He scoffed. "I can call you anything I want, Princess. No one said I had to address you so formally. It's the same for you. It's not like I'm forcing ya to say my name."
Placing her back on the floor, his grip loosened before turning towards the door.
"You are an interesting creature... Grimmy."
Her smile grew bigger when she saw him flush before he blasted her door open, waking up over half the arrancars in Las Noches.
