You Bent My Triangle!
Chapter 3: Misery Date
Grimm had his hand firmly clamped on her hip. There was not enough room between them for a piece of paper to fit through. "Hey! Arrancar!" She growled.
"What?" He whispered into her ear.
"If you hold me any tighter I'm going to snap in half. If you just wanted to kill me I'm sure I'd be dead already, but I know I am going to have bruises on my hip tonight." She explained a little too loudly. She was gathering attention, but he loosened his grip to a much less painful pressure.
"Sorry, the females I am used to are much less fragile," He laughed, sounding kind of embarrassed.
"Hey, Mister!" A boy that looked to be twelve got their attention, "You wanna buy a flower for your girl?"
"Hell, why not," He took out his wallet and paid. He handed her a pale purple rose, "That one matches the color of your spirit." The arrancar blushed, he actually blushed. He rubbed the back of his head and looked away, not letting go of her waist, but he had to calm down before he could look at her again.
She sniffed the flower it smelled like a floral shop rather than any specific kind of flower, "So where are we going. I figured you would have just killed me by now," This sounded so nonchalant that it surprised both of them.
"You wanna die today?" He looked at her seriously.
She balked a laugh, "No! I mean to say I really never though a hollow would be interested in a human for anything other than food."
The hollow laughed at this, "Well you might be right about the worthless trash that you usually run across, but we arrancars are more evolved," He looked away again, ‘Did I just sound like Ulquiorra for a moment?’
"You don't say. So where are you taking me?" She relaxed, just a little. Since he was not planning on killing her at least for the moment she might as well enjoy her date.
"Like I said, I thought lunch might be nice," he led her across the street to a small café. They were seated in a booth he chose to sit next to her on the outside of course, just in case she tried to leave. Karin laid her rose between them.
"What can I get you two," the waitress said in a sweet voice. She was checking out Grimmjow. Karin noticed and wondered why on earth she should care weather some waitress ogled the monster, but she did.
"Oh I'm not hungry," Karin felt a hot hand on her knee digging its fingers painfully into her kneecap, she grunted in pain, "U-uh, O-on s-second thought I-I'd like a cheese burger." She was panting and trying not to let out a terrible scream.
"I'll have the same and we will each have a chocolate shake," He smiled sweetly while still prying her kneecap from the joint.
She panted painfully and finally asked, "Are you going to rip it off or not? Because I'd like to have my knee back if not." he let go and scowled at her. Then his eyes softened a bit. He did not say 'I'm sorry', but his eyes said, 'Would you ever find it in your heart to forgive me, please?'
She rubbed her knee wondering if she would be able to walk when she got up. The waitress caught part of their conversation and saw the pained look on the girl's face, but the look on the man's face told her she better mind her own business.
Hitsugaya wondered how many people were going, first just he and Renji, then Hanatro, then Ikkaku and Yumichika, "Did we forget anyone?"
"Me-me-me!" Yuchiro was flash stepping toward them.
"No! Go-go-go! Hurry shut that gate now!" Hitsugaya yelled. They were piled inside and the gate closed just in the nick of time.
"Hey Yuzu, you seen Karin?" Ichigo grew concerned when she missed lunch and it was going on three in the afternoon. He was supposed to keep an eye on her but was side tracked by his text book.
"I think she must have gone to meet that man that left his card here. I think he was a talent scout," She smiled as she went about keeping house.
"Hey what'd he look like?"
"Well he was kinda young, but older then you I think. He was handsome. He had on blue jeans and a white shirt," She thought on it and came up with one last detail, "Oh his hair was dyed blue and his eyes were the exact same color."
Ichigo started at the description, "Hey Yuzu I'm gonna go for a walk, OK?"
"OK, be back by dinner!" She yelled cheerfully.
Ichigo tried to sense Grimmjow, there was no trace.
"So, arrancar," Karin picking at her food, "What is your name, you never told me."
"Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez," His mouth parted into an almost friendly smile, "Just call me Grimmjow."
"OK, Grimmjow, what happened to your mask, and your hole, it seems to have been filled in?" Karin without meaning to poked his gut where the hole should have been. He grabbed her hand, maybe rougher then he intended to. She felt her wrist pop. The joint was dislocated she was sure of that, her eyes watered. He let her hand go absent minded. Her hand flopped uselessly. She grabbed it and attempted to force it back into the socket with her other hand, she felt crunching and then a faint pop. The heat and pain intensified to excruciating then dwindled to a dull throb, "Thank god I'm not a goalie. You could be a little gentler on my body."
"Sorry, I'll try to remember it," He grunted, ‘Hell I'm gonna tear her to pieces if I'm not careful. I need to control my temper better if I want to get to know this girl. She should be crying, or screaming in pain right now but she's not. She's tough,’ His thoughts raced off to some other dimension before being called back.
"Hey! Grimmjow! You didn't answer my question. Are you human now?" She glared at him, but he did see it in the back of her eyes, fear.
"Uh, no. I have a gigai on." He answered.
"What's a gigai?" She looked interested the fear kind of faded further back and the new look of wanting to know took over.
"It's a fake body, I'm still an espada, but now even normal humans can see me, and it can completely masks the spiritual pressure of the one using it." he felt weird explaining this stuff to her but the fascination in her eyes made her look less like a hostage and more like a willing companion. Then he looked at her wrist, it was turning purple. He felt ashamed, he could not explain it. He had inflicted pain on her and she had done nothing to deserve such treatment, except to be really attractive to him. That was no reason, and he felt almost as if he had a flutter in his chest, ‘There's nothing there!’
"What's wrong? Did I offend you?" He saw the well masked fear returning to her eyes. He grew angry, not at her but himself.
"No, it's nothin'," He started to get up, "Look I have to get back. You take care, OK?" ‘What the hell was that?’ he asked himself as he threw money down on the table.
He walked out the door of the restaurant. The waitress came over as soon as she was sure the man was out of ear shot, "You want me to call the police?" The woman looked at her purpling wrist.
Karin shook her head, "No, I'm gonna be ok. Thank you," She gave a tired smile, ‘I guess I made it out alive.’ She scooted out of the booth. She limped painfully on her injured knee. She was heading home. The shortest route was through the park. She had to go slowly each step sent white hot pain through her body. She finally had to give up and settled down on a park bench to rest her knee for a while.
Hitsugaya and his team made it safely to the world of the living. They stopped by Urahara's to get the things they would need. Toshiro, Hanatro, and Renji were enrolled in school. Ikkaku and Yumichika had declined they had had enough of that place the first time around. Their records from their previous enrollment were all destroyed and memories had been wiped, so hopefully nobody would recognize them. Sometimes the mind wipe could be difficult if the subject is spiritually aware it does not always take. There were a lot more spiritually aware people in Karakura Town then in most cities.
They were headed to Ichigo's house when everybody felt that dark energy. Hitsugaya grunted, "Someone is opening a gargantua." They were going to head toward it when it was gone, and no trace of any powerful hollows. The decided the most important thing was to locate the Kurosaki's. They were not far from Ichigo's house when the captain felt an agitated spirit. He recognized it, "Kurosaki?"
"Where captain? I don't see him?" Renji looking around clueless.
"Not him, the girl," Hitsugaya pointed out a battered looking woman. She was limping and clutching her wrist to her chest. They went to her. She was dazed by the pain in her leg. Her wrist was a dull throb, but her leg was on fire. She had not noticed the five shinigami approach, but then she was stopped by piercing ocean blue eyes.
"T-Toshiro," She stammered.
"That's Captain Hitsugaya," He said before she fell on him and gasped. He was a loss, "What has happened, Kurosaki?"
"Grimmjow," She said leaning on his shoulder for support. He instinctively touched her injury. She hissed in pain. He noted the finger shaped bruises, it looked as if he had attempted to pry her knee cap off (which he had). Her wrist was swollen and almost black. She had unseen injuries also. He tried to support her and made the mistake of grabbing her throbbing hip. He decided to lift her shirt a little, only to see more finger print shaped bruises.
"What the hell did he do to you," Hitsugaya spat venom with his words.
She looked at him earnestly, "He took me out for lunch." There was silence for at least a minute, and each of the soul-reapers looked as if you could have knocked them over with a feather.
"What did you just say?" The small captain asked.
"Well, Captain Hitsugaya, I think I just told you that I have been on a date with an espada. Not by my choice of course." She frowned at their disbelief. Toshiro's mouth was working but no sound came out. It was like one of the little cogs in his mind had suddenly snapped out of place.
The other men seemed to have similar problems, finally the shy one in the back came to his senses, "Oh, but you’re hurt. I can heal you. Captain Hitsugaya, can you carry her to a place she can lay down?"
Toshiro blushed at this, "Well I- um?"
"While the Captain it thinking that over I'll help you out," Ikkaku was the next closest. He swept her off her feet and carried her to the nearest park bench, "Can I ask what happened to your wrist?"
"Oh, he dislocated it I had to pop it back into place. He said he was sorry," She looked away embarrassed to be held by some man she did not know.
Ikkaku smiled at her, "You are one tough kid. I'd expect any normal girl to be bawling over it."
"I don't cry," She said in an even tone that suggested he back off the subject of crying. Suddenly she was bathed in a warm healing light. Her knee was feeling much better, but then the smaller boy proceeded to slather a soothing balm on her knee then wrap it. He healed her waist without even moving her shirt.
Then he took her wrist and examined it, she hissed a little, but his hands were used to handling injuries so he gingerly felt the bones, "Feels like you may have a fracture." He continued his healing kaido. It hurt at first then she felt the swelling go down and the bruising faded to the look of a three day old bruise of pinks and greens. The boy was smiling as he rubbed more of the balm in her sore wrist. The he wrapped it too.
"Thank you; um sorry I didn't catch your name."
"Oh," he blushed, "Its Hanataro Yamada"
"Thanks Hanataro, and nice to meet you, my name is Karin Kurosaki," She smiled at him making him blush even more fiercely.
She was finally allowed up. Her leg was still sore and she had a long walk to go. This time Renji offered to carry her the rest of the way. The other four shinigami had failed to notice that each time she paid attention to or was touched by one of them he was being glared at angrily, but why should the captain care he and the girl were mere acquaintances. She was smiling at them and thanking them for their help, but responded to the captain coldly. He supposed it was in response to the way he had spoken to her.
"She's a lot prettier then I remember," he said to himself, He had not intended to say that out loud, but nobody seemed to notice.
Ichigo left the house in a panicked state, ‘Damn it! I'm such an idiot! Why wasn't I watching her?’ He spoke of his sister as if she were a small child. He made it to the park was the five soul reapers and his sister were about to come find him.
"Karin!" Ichigo ran to her, He crushed her to his chest. She winced a little from the pain, but she was in much less pain now so she did not mind, "I was so worried. I was a stupid fool for not keeping an eye out for you."
"I'm fine, just let me go," Karin pushed off of him, "Before you break something!" Ichigo was tearing up. He looked like a big puppy. Karin patted his head which also caused her to laugh uncontrollably. But the strawberry noticed the bandage on her knee and wrist.
He was looking at his feet, but there seemed to be a dark cloud hanging over his head, "He hurt you, didn't he?" He looked up revealing gold irises and black creeping over the whites of his eyes.
"Ichigo he's gone to Heuco Mundo," Hitsugaya tried to intervene before he lost control, "Get a hold of yourself!"
"Ichigo please," Karin rested her head on top of his orange locks, "I'm very tired and I would like to go home." That snapped him out of it. He stood and picked up his sister.
"OK, let's go." the five men followed the substitute shinigami to his house.
