I dodge a Quincy arrow, darting back toward the tent that stupid shop keeper set up. It's been three full days since they invaded. Most of the other arrancar have been destroyed. Halibel has fallen in battle and been taken hostage. Nakkita, Belle, Szayel, Nel and I are safe. I'm not sure about Starkk or Lilynette. Ichigo came and went already, leaving this weird idiot here. As I get in range, Belle throws one of the bombs, taking out the entire troop of Quincies behind me. "Go back inside. You need a few minutes." Belle orders.
"You're not the boss of me." I growl at her, though I do what she said anyways. She's right, I need a little break.
"Welcome back, Grimmjow. Thank you for all the hard work." Urahara says, though he doesn't turn from his computer. I notice Szayel is sitting next to Nakkita, reading her vitals.
"She woke up briefly and asked for you. Maybe thirty seconds. I think she's going to be alright." Szayel says without turning.
"That was a pretty hard hit to her head. I'm not surprised she's having trouble staying awake. All signs point to she is healing though. It's too bad she didn't get the fast healing you guys have."
"Indeed."
I climb into bed beside her and yawn. Szayel gives me an annoyed look, but doesn't comment. He's learned not to mess with me. I sleep where I want and , right now, I want to sleep next to her. The right side of her face is dark purple with a bruise. A large cut is near her hairline, carefully stitched together by Szayel.
"They attacked with no warning. She saved our asses with her venom but I don't think she's invincible to a fucking tower falling on her." I grumble.
"I highly doubt any creature is. She was shielding Nelliel, who was pinned to the floor already."
"She'll be fine. Her vitals are all great. An injury like that will take a while to heal though...actually, Orihime can heal her faster, once she's done attending to Nel and Sado." Urahara says.
Nakkita flinches a bit, a low whimper escaping her lips. I notice Szayel grab her hand. "Shh, you're alright. Sleep, little snake. Sleep a while longer."
"Is she in pain?" I ask, noticing the grimace on her face.
"It's likely. I gave her medicine a little while ago but her metabolic rate is astounding. I think, maybe, it'd be safe to increase the dosage a little bit and see if it lasts longer." Urahara sighs, coming a little closer.
"She will need to feed soon as well. As you said, her metabolic rate is faster than normal. She needs to feed far more often than an arrancar or a soul reaper. Though she is eating about equal amounts of your food and our food." Szayel says thoughtfully.
"I actually have something that will solve her dietary needs. I need her awake though. Also, Grimmjow, I'm going to need you and Nel to accompany me to the Seireitei, now that things have calmed here in Hueco Mundo."
Nakkita groans in pain. Her eyes open a bit and I see how glazed they look. She flings herself toward the edge of the bed and Szayel moves just in time as she vomits. I can smell it. It's blood. Szayel curses. "She's got more damage than we realized." he sighs.
"Orihime should be headed this way soon, judging by the position of the tracking unit I put on her. I can heal her a little but my kaido skills aren't the greatest." Urahara says.
Nakkita rolls back over and pulls herself close to me. "It hurts." she whimpers.
Szayel draws something up in a syringe before injecting it in her ass. "I've doubled the dose. She's burning through it entirely too fast."
Urahara's kaido surrounds her back and he hisses. "I don't know how she's alive right now. She took a lot of damage. I don't have the skill to fix it but I can at least try to stop the bleeding."
Nakkita puts her arm and leg over my side. "I love you both...don't let him be lonely if I don't make it, ok, kitty?" she says, her words a little slurred as the pain medicine kicks in.
"You'll be fine, mouse. Just close your eyes and go back to sleep for awhile." I tell her. She kisses my chest and sighs like a content dog. I can tell she's drifting as her muscles slowly relax.
****Nakkita - Memory****
I stumble my way into Yoshiro's office in squad 12. I'm drunk as hell and tired of crying. It's 2am. Nobody is working, I'm assuming. His desk, as usual, is littered with papers. I read a couple before deciding they aren't important. I pull a bottle of gin out of my pocket, dousing everything on his desk. Then I strike a match and light everything on fire. I'm sure the sprinkler system will keep it from getting too bad. I leave before anyone can notice me though, closing the door behind me...
"How dare you! You destroyed so much data that will now have to be recalculated! Not to mention-" Captain Kurotsuchi is interrupted by Captain Yamamoto holding a hand up.
"Nakkita Nakamoto. This is not the first time I have heard your name, though it is the first time you've been brought before me. What was the reason for the fire?" Captain Yamamoto asks, folding his hands on his desk.
"Sir, I...besides being drunk, I was angry. The squad member who's office I burned was my ex fiance. I had found him in bed with another woman. I admit, it was a bad idea. I shouldn't have done something so reckless that could have hurt many people. I'm sorry for the damage I caused." I say, not daring to look him in the eyes.
"Were you still part of my squad, you would be making up for the damage by redoing the work and submitting to experiments." my previous captain hisses.
Captain Tousen steps forward. "Head Captain, what Nakkita did was obviously not in good taste. Nor was she in her right state of mind. Any woman, who loved her man as much as Nakkita did, would react badly to finding that man in bed with another. I'm not asking for there to be no punishment, as I believe she deserves some, but I do believe it's best to bear in mind the circumstances that lead to the behavior."
"How do you find her to be as a member of your squad?" Yamamoto asks.
"She's reliable. Her work is impeccable. She could use some training with her zanpakuto. She does have a mild drinking problem after her duties are done, but it's never caused a problem before. I think, in all honesty, this incident happened because she was left alone while drinking. Nakkita thrives when she's around others. Alone, she doesn't function well and seems to function in a depressed state."
"I see. Captains, leave. I will talk to the girl alone."
I'm left alone with the old man, who sighs with irritation. "I want to be angry with you very much. However, given the circumstances, I understand. Sit." he orders, pointing to a chair in front of his desk. I hesitate for a bare instant before sitting. "I was in your shoes once, as a young man. I would be lying if I said I didn't set fire to something too."
"Love hurts, sir. I'm very sorry for what I did. I only wanted to make him feel how I feel. I didn't mean to destroy anything valuable or hurt anyone. I thought the sprinkler system would be able to control it before it got out of hand." I say weakly.
"No one was hurt. As for the documents, I have faith that Captain Kurotsuchi has back ups of the work. I have, however, heard a more disturbing rumor and wish to speak on that before I decide a punishment for you."
I look up at him curiously. "Rumor?"
"Are you selling yourself for money to buy your alcohol?" he asks, his blue eyes opening to look into mine.
"What!? No! Sir, I'll be more honest than I have been with anyone else. I'd never consider that. I won't say I'm not sleeping with men, but I don't sell myself. In fact, the very idea of that sickens me." I sputter, outraged and embarrassed by this insult to my character.
"I see. I cannot say I support this habit of trying to get over your ex, but I will not stop you, as long as you aren't selling yourself. I will, however, help put that rumor to rest. I will need names of the men you've had dealings with to investigate if they started such rumors."
I blush and sigh. "Slept with or had sex with, sir? Just so I'm clear."
Now his eyes widen in shock. "You mean to tell me that not all of your bed mates have had intimacy with you?"
"No, sir. Not all. I get so lonely that sometimes, unless I have someone to cuddle with, I can't sleep at all. Most of the men who offer know I'm not looking for a relationship and that puts them off. Some are different and want someone like me though."
"We shall go with your sexual partners then, as that seems like there will be fewer in number."
"My ex, Lieutenant Hisagi, Yumichika of squad eleven and...no, that's it' actually."
"Now I am curious. Who else has been in your bed without intimacy?"
"Captain Tousen. I was very drunk and talking out of my head about hurting myself. He stayed to make sure I didn't. Captain Komomora. That was before I became a soul reaper though. He was kind to us children in the Rukongai. I got lost during a blizzard. He found me and took me home and held me until I was stable enough to be returned home. Lieutenant Matsumoto, Lieutenant Hinamori and Belle from squad 5, though again Belle and I grew up together and shared a bed mostly for comfort and safety, not for anything inappropriate."
Now he sighs. "Girl, my punishment is going to be you are to have no alcohol for six months. The Seireitei is dry to you. You will focus on your zanjutsu training but will train with the men of squad eleven. Lastly, you have a curfew of eight in the evening until further notice. At such time, if you are not in your apartment in the barracks, you will be arrested. If you are in time, a guard from squad two will be placed outside your door to keep you inside."
"Am I allowed to have visitors?" I ask nervously.
"Of course. Your private time is your own. The guard is just there to keep you from wandering and causing havoc."
"Thank you, sir."
"You are dismissed."
************************
I lay panting on the floor of the dojo, thoroughly winded from getting knocked on my ass. Yumichika stares down at me passively. "And that is exactly why I told you to stop putting your weight on your heels. It's much easier to knock you over backwards."
"Yes, sir. I'll work on it." I reply.
"You're progressing, but it's slow. Why do you hesitate to strike when you have an opening?" he asks, offering a hand to help me up.
"I take too much time deciding what to do and lose my advantage, I suppose." I sigh
"Exactly. Let your sword dance, Nakkita. I've seen you do better in actual battle."
I blush a bit. "In actual battle, I don't have time to think." I shrug.
"Treat training as an actual battle then. However, it's time to stop for the day. Your curfew is drawing close."
I nod and bow to him. "Thank you for teaching me."
He raises an eyebrow. "Are you able to walk home? Your legs seem shaky to me."
"I'll have to, whether I can or not."
"Yumichika, let's go with her or the Lieutenant will have your ass." Ikkaku orders, though he has a knowing look in his eye.
***************************
Yumichika lays under me, stroking my hair as we catch our breath. "You'd make a good match for someone, someday. As receptive of new things, as you are."
Ikkaku props his head on his hand beside us. "But you're weak in zanjutsu, Nik. Tell me something, do you really hesitate because you're thinking too much? Or is there something else?"
I frown and sigh. "Sometimes, I don't want to be here. I use men like you two to stave off the loneliness and feelings of being worthless. Yoshiro told me I was terrible in bed and ugly. That I'd be better off alone because no one can ever truly love a weakling like me. I think sometimes I get in a bad mind set during a fight and I just sort of give up."
"What the fuck?" Ikkaku nearly yells before pulling me towards him. "Nakkita, I can't believe you'd listen to some half wit like him. You're beautiful in a unique way. As for the terrible in bed part, that's bullshit and you know it. If you were, you really think Yumichika would use you to satisfy his cravings sometimes?"
I glance at Yumichika, who smirks. "I wouldn't."
"I'm confused though. You've never actually had sex with me, Yumichika. Just oral and you let me give you boob jobs." I point out.
"Those happen to be my cravings for you. No offence but I don't tend to crave women's genitals to touch mine. That's why I brought Ikkaku today. I realized that perhaps your needs weren't being fulfilled like mine are."
"And I don't get attached so it's a good trade for both of us." Ikkaku says.
"Makes sense. I can't say I didn't enjoy your attention, though I've never been attracted to men who shave their head." I tease him.
"Is that so?" he says before kissing me.
"Take her again, Ikkaku. Make her submit to you." Yumichika chuckles.
****Awake****
My eyes open to see Orihime's dome over me. She looks tired but is holding steady. "Hime?" I mumble her name.
"Kita! Hold on for a bit. You took some internal damage when that wall collapsed on you." she says, giving me a tired smile.
"Szayel? Grimmy?" I search for them but don't see them. I do, however, see Gin. This startles me. "What the fuck is he doing here?"
"Hmm? He's been here."
I shake my head violently. "He died before Ichigo could capture Aizen."
"Arrah!? What's this yer spouting? I'm certainly not dead." Gin chuckles.
"Hime, you don't remember?"
"Well, I remember things but they seem different, almost as if the memories have changed a little, somehow." she says thoughtfully.
"Mine have done the same. I remember Aizen stabbin' me for sure but I woke up." Gin shrugs.
"Someone has tampered with the past. Are any of your memories different, Nakkita?" Chad asks, looking concerned.
I think and shrug. "I can't honestly tell. Some parts of memories are fuzzy, as if they've been changed."
Belle comes in and rushes to Gin, sitting on his lap and sobbing into his shoulder. "Where have you been! You and Sosuke left me!" she shouts at him, clearly angry.
"Sorry, little Belle. I'm here now though. Question is, where's Cap'n Aizen? And what in the hell is Kenpachi doin' with a blue wolf? He didn't have it before we left Seireitei."
"Who knows what that beast is doing. Who cares either!?"
"Cause it was standin' over me when I woke up earlier. As soon as my eyes opened, it somehow opened a Senkaimon and Kenpachi was waitin' on the other side."
"That's impossible. Kenny was here rescuing me and Nakkita." Hime says, confused.
I shake my head. "Maybe the Quincies are doing something. We've got bigger things to worry about. Where's Grimmjow?" I demand again.
"Mr. Urahara went with Grimmjow and Neliel to help in the Seireitei. We're to stay here." Belle says before shocking us all and kissing Gin. Gin returns it, seeming to enjoy the attention.
I clear my throat. "Belle, that's not Sosuke."
"I know! But I don't care, damn you, Nakkita! I'm tired of you hogging all the good looking men while I have no one!" Belle hisses.
"Arrah, no worries, Belle. Nakkita can't help bein' playful with the kitty, since Cap'n Aizen ordered it. Szayel is the one who surprises me." Gin chuckles.
"Speaking of, where is he?" Chad asks.
"He went to try to hunt. He was getting terribly unruly."
"Speaking of, Nakkita, Kisuke came up with some sort of pill for you. He says it will take care of your dietary needs." Belle says, pointing to a bottle by the head of the bed.
Orihime's dome disappears finally. "I'm not completely done but you're stable now. What's left is just bruising and a cracked rib. I can finish after I rest a bit." she says, wiping her forehead.
"We need to follow Kisuke, Orihime. I can carry you on my back so you can rest." Chad says.
"I'm going too. And Belle. I have to make sure my friends are alright." I say, determined.
"Do ya plan to free Cap'n Aizen?" Gin asks, cracking his eyes open.
"That's Belle's job. I'm going to lend a hand to those who need it."
"I'll stay here then and work with Szayel and Starkk on rebuildin' the castle. Halibel will be needin' a place to rule from, after all. And, if I'm not mistaken, you'll be needin' a place to stay, Kita-chan."
"Damn right, I will." I take one of the pills with a mouthful of water before getting to my feet. "Ready when you are." I tell Sado.
****Grimmjow POV****
I watch as Kisuke and that damn cat lady take out this annoying fucking Quincy bastard with the lethal dose ability. A low growl over my head makes me move a little, turning my head to see a huge ass blue wolf standing over me. I recognize it but I shouldn't. It sits next to me before laying it's head on my back. I feel weird, all warm and tingly. "The fuck are you doing to me?" I grumble.
I don't get an answer of course. I didn't figure I would either. I feel the ground shake violently. That giant of a Quincy is fighting with a...demon? The wolf whines, clearly wanting to be over there but it doesn't move. I realize I don't feel the effects of the lethal dose anymore and push it off me. It runs away before I can give it a thank you.
I sense impending doom suddenly. Kisuke and cat lady sense it too, it seems. The world begins quaking under my feet. I hear the wolf howling in the distance and the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. "Yoruichi!" Kisuke yells. The cat woman and Kisuke dart toward the castle, leaving me and Nel alone...wait. I turn and Nakkita and Belle are standing there.
"You look like shit, Kitty." Nakkita says flatly. "We need to get to Sosuke. Now."
"Good luck getting down to the Seireitei, you idiot." I growl.
"Watch me." She laughs. We all follow her to where the giant is still being fought. That blue wolf is there with several other reapers, including the black haired noble that came to Hueco Mundo and helped kill Yammy.
"Miss Nakamoto...I am surprised to see you here." a white haired young man says without turning to her.
"I'm full of surprises it seems, Captain Hitsugaya." she answers.
Two other men hug her, one bald one and one with feathers next to his eyes. "We've missed you, Nik." the bald one says. "Yachiru is missing and Cap'n Zaraki is in a shitty mood for it. He's got a new pet we found out in the Rukongai since you left though."
The wolf growls in a rather unfriendly manner at Nakkita but it's gaze doesn't stray from the demon. As it's reiatsu raises, the joint in it's elbow suddenly blows apart.
"Ikkaku...when did he get his bankai? When I left he didn't even have shikai." Nakkita asks.
"Just today, in fact." the feather wearing man says. His hand strays into the wolf's fur and it snarls at him, snapping it's teeth close to his hand. "Oh, lighten up, you grouchy thing. It's no wonder Captain keeps you around. You're a brute. Probably why you're alone too. No female wolf could stand you."
"We need to get back to the Seireitei. Now." Belle says from behind me.
"It's in bad shape. And likely about to get worse. We've taken heavy losses." the white haired captain says.
"Captain Hitsugaya, we need to get down there. You're not going to like this one bit but Aizen had a plan for this. We need to release him." Belle says.
"I'm not releasing him so you can have a booty call, Belle."
****Nakkita POV****
"You will do as she says, Captain, or we will all die." I say.
The wolf grabs my sleeve and starts guiding me away. It's nose is twitching, as if smelling something. I follow without question, though I should. Something about this creature is strange, yet the same as me. It's not a beast. It's has reiatsu. It's a soul reaper perhaps. "Who are you? You're not a wolf." It glances over it's shoulder at me and winks.
*************
"Sosuke!" Belle screams, seeing her lover on the ground, a terrible stab wound in his chest. She runs to him as the world begins shaking violently.
"Belle?" he asks weakly.
"You're going to be fine! I'm going to heal you." she whimpers, summoning her kaido.
The wolf growls irritably and turns to leave but Aizen points at it. "You're going to kill me in the future, daughter of Unohana and Ukitake. I saw it when he stabbed me. Ichigo will save us all, as he normally does. Don't you see? I tried to take the Soul King's place in order to prevent this tragedy."
To my shock, the wolf morphs into a tall, skinny woman with sapphire blue hair. She's naked and doesn't seem to mind. "I killed you and ate you in the future due to madness. Central Forty Six wanted you dead and I am the only way to kill you. There's a man here, sent back in time through some sorcery. He's changed the past a bit, trying to destroy me for something I've done in the future. Help me now and I won't have to destroy you in the future."
"Tell me...who do you belong to, Wolf of Zaraki? That ring..."
"Kenpachi. I marry him...and breed with him in the future. I am a berserker. He's the only one able to save me from myself."
"Woah woah....what the fuck!? You're a woman!? What the fuck is this shit about marrying Zaraki!? And kids? Bullshit! You lying fucking bitch!" Ikkaku screams angrily.
Yumichika walks around the woman. "She's telling the truth. Tell us, how did that happen?"
"The past was changed by me coming here. In my time line, I was missing for two hundred years in the forests of Zaraki. I lived most of my life as the wolf I've been since coming here. He finds me in the future and captures me...he tamed me a bit. Enough for me to release that form." the woman sighs, a faraway look in her eyes.
"What he said about your parents. Is it true?" Belle asks.
"Yes. I am the only child of Yachiru Unohana and Jushiro Ukitake. I had an ulterior motive to volunterring to come back. I wanted to save them. I see now it was impossible from the start, but at least I got to say goodbye this time."
"And your name?"
"Harmona Zaraki. If that's all the questions you have, I'm going to go find Kenpachi now that his battle is over and heal him."
"Can you sniff out Yachiru?" Yumichika asks softly.
"No need. She's where she needs to be. I can't tell you anything else but she's safe and Kenpachi will get stronger now." Before anyone can ask any more questions, she becomes a wolf again and runs off.
"Does anyone else have more questions than answers?" Yumichika says.
"You're not the only one." Ikkaku sighs.
Somehow, I don't think this will be the last time I see that strange woman.
