Thanks for the Reviews…on that topic, MomOfFluffyandFlutter you are really creative. Unfortunatly this fic is prewritten up to a certain point (I‘m just putting it into HTML format at this point). My plot might not allow for a Ulquiora and Yuzu pairing. It does seem interesting, and maybe I can write a second story which diverges from this one early in the story. Time can only tell…OR if you would like to write that version yourself you have my permission to use my plot as a base line for it.
You Bent My Triangle!
Chapter 8: A Bad Dream and Not So Cold Comfort
After an hour of shouting, physical threats and one short but heated discussion between the arrancar and Captain Hitsugaya their talking was over, there was no actual physical violence. Karin was very pleased that both 'young' men could restrain themselves. A compromise of sorts was made. Realizing that Grimmjow had no options, he had no friends left in Heuco Mundo. He was a very powerful being, but would defiantly not stand against four such powerful soul-reapers at once. His presence would be tolerated for the time being.
As the captain stated, "If you do anything, what so ever to arouse my suspicion, I will not hesitate to destroy you myself."
Karin made a face at Toshiro, "I can vouch for him, he’s different now. I know it in my heart!"
"We must inform the soul society regardless of what your heart tells you. Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez is still a very dangerous being."
"Thank-you," Grimm smirked.
"That wasn't meant as a complement," Hitsugaya retorted.
Grimmjow stuck his tongue out at the white haired shinigami, ‘Why did I do that?’ That gesture was lost on him, but he did it instinctively. Karin laughed, then Grimm joined her still not in on his own joke.
Hitsugaya glared at the both of them angrily, "Stop your childish antics! This is serious. I have no choice to report on today's events. If Head Captain Yamamoto deems your blue haired friend there a serious threat he will be eliminated without prejudice. There is a possibility that we can offer him protection from the other espada, but unfortunately it is very remote. You, Grimmjow must undergo constant surveillance. It will get annoying, I must warn you, but you have yet to earn my trust much less that of the soul society. In their eyes you are a criminal. If what Karin says about you is correct, then I am truly sorry for that." Hitsugaya sighed he hated what he was about to say, but it had to be said, "You must be in the company of at least one soul reaper, at all times, until our Head Captain makes a decision on this situation. You must not be allowed alone with Karin, you will not come to see her in the night, you may spend time with her in the daytime, and we will try to afford as much privacy to you as is possible. If you don't comply with any of the stipulations in this agreement we will be forced to execute you."
Grimm wasn't laughing anymore, he wasn't smiling either. There was a cold flash of hate that brought the old Grimmjow back to the surface. He held the captain's eyes in a death gaze for what felt like an hour. He finally looked away. His face softened at the sight of Karin's own nervous smile. He nodded agreement. Everybody exhaled glad to have that tense moment pass.
"I don't like this plan, not at all...But I appreciate that you allowed me to be here for the decision. I will respect our agreement, if only for Karin’s sake." Grimmjow frowning again, but not so horribly intensely now.
Everybody started to get up to leave, "So where are you guys gonna stash Grimmjow?" Ichigo finally spoke, he was secretly thrilled that he had to drive back to Tokyo that night. He'd be free of arrancar sitting duty.
"Uh-That's a good point, He can't stay here," Renji spoke up.
Three said in unison, "CRAP!" It dawned on all of them that there was nowhere else for him to go then Urahara's. It was already overcrowded as it was, and you could count on him being very unpleasant about the whole situation.
"So you three volunteer to take Grimmjow with you this evening," The captain did not give the relief or joy in his mind and body away, but he was thinking how he might actually get a few minutes alone with a certain raven haired beauty. Toshiro is not really the scheming type, but all’s fair in love and war, ‘And I do love you Karin! I just don't know how to tell you without being a complete ass!’
It was nearing sunset. Karin yawned, "It's almost time for dinner, you guys want to stay and eat with us? You know my sister really loves to cook, and she is really good at it. I’m sure we can squeeze a few more plates at the table." She smiled warmly hoping that sending them away with full stomachs might get them off to a better start.
"I wish I could stay Karin, but I have to get back I already missed my biology class today I have three classes tomorrow," he kissed the top of her head and jumped off the roof. Everybody else piled in through Ichigo's window. Karin ran down and asked if it would be alright if a few more friends would stay for dinner. Yuzu smiled sweetly.
"Sure thing Karin! I am trying out a new recipe. It's eggplant lasagna, we learned to make this in cooking class and you can use any vegetable you want! There will be plenty, but could you make a salad? We need our greens too," Yuzu pointed her wooden spoon toward the kitchen table where the vegetables lay waiting to be chopped, diced and shredded.
"Ok," Karin went to work. It wasn't the hardest job. She would never have been trusted to actually cook anything but a harmless salad even she couldn’t screw up.
Dinner passed quietly; strangely her father was out until they were leaving. He greeted everybody in a friendly manner, except Grimmjow. Karin noticed even if Grimm did not. Her old man was actually cold and reserved around her newest friend.
He snapped out of it when Yuzu began to yell at him for missing dinner, "Look dad your dinner is cold, and we had company this evening!" She frowned for a millisecond, but then she perked up, "It's ok I'll heat up your portion, I think you'll really like it."
Everybody nodded in agreement. Renji, Ikkaku, and Yumichika were thinking of excuses to come over every evening for dinner. They said their goodbyes. Karin watched her father staring at Grimmjow like he was a deadly disease, or a severely injured patient. Karin wondered what her father thought of Grimmjow, but decided that this was not the moment to mention anything. As soon as the four left Isshan relaxed and dug into his daughter's reheated cuisine. The four who were not currently living under the Kruosaki Roof went to beg Urahara to let them house their ‘prisoner’ until such time as a decision was made. Grimm's fate hung in the balance. Karin was very worried for him. She hoped that she had made the right decision not to simply run off with him. She knew that was no option for either of them.
Urahara was surprised by few things in his life. All possibilities were calculated in the workings of his vast intellect, but this was even too much of a shock for him. He forgot his cool, teasing facade; and actually yelled at the stupid idiots for dragging an espada to his establishment.
"Do you realize what the soul society will do to you? When they find out that you are harboring a significant threat, you could all be imprisoned, or even executed!"
Grimmjow was not aware that these people were putting their necks on the line for him, he spoke up, "I-I'm sorry. I didn't realize that my being here threatened your standing amongst your own kind, much less your lives. I appreciate your gesture much more, but I can't endanger any of her friends. She-she," ‘Gods it already hurts so much without her near.’ "She means more to me then my existance."
Yet another unexpected surprise. Not only was he more intelligent than anyone realized he was more sincere then anyone would have believed, but that's just it. They did believe him.
Urahara's mouth dropped open. He was joined by three soul reapers and one deeply stunned Tessai. Urahara was the first to recover, and quickly wrapped himself back in his illusion of coquettishness, "Very well, I think I may have misjudged this situation. Who is this 'her' you were referring to?" Urahara waited, and braced himself on the inside so he'd not slip up again on the outside. He knew whomever it was it would not be good news, he was right to expect this.
"Karin Kurosaki," Grimmjow calmed down a great deal when her name escaped his lips.
Urahara took out his fan and pretended to fan himself, he was frowning deeply, "I see. Does Ichigo know about this situation? He is away at school after all?"
"He knows,” Renji butted in, “He was in on the decision of what to do with old blue eyes over there," He thumbed at poor Grimm.
"Really, that is a surprise. I was under the impression that he hated you, and you reciprocated," His smile was back on. There was something very interesting going on, "May I ask you...Where'd you get the gigai?" He was smiling hard at the arrancar. Grimmjow blushed.
"Szayel made this one," Grimmjow looked away in guilt. He knew precisely where that pink haired freak had gotten hold of his gigai, and he was guessing the owner did not give it freely.
"Did he say anything about his designs? That looks suspiciously like one of mine, but it's been modified. I see it has spiritual pressure dampening capabilities. Does that limit your power much? I'd like to examine it while you are staying here. Would you mind?" These questions were fired off one after another. Grimmjow just nodded confusedly. "Great, just great!" Urahara snapped his fan shut and smiled at them, "I'm afraid it is getting a little crowded in the shop, but you probably don't need to sleep do you? Huh Grimmjow?" Urahara looked him over. Grimm nodded affirmative.
"Well that's at least one problem avoided, but I imagine you'll be taking shifts watching him. Please don't be noisy about it," He winked at the four, "So when is Captain Hitsugaya sending his report?"
"Probably now, he knows better than to put something like this off." Renji rubbed his chin in thought.
"Since you're so chatty, why don't you take the first watch Renji?" Yumichika smirked.
"Hey I've got school tomorrow."
"And I have to be beautiful tomorrow, I have a job, one that actually pays." Yumichika was working in a floral shop. He was paid to flirt, basically, and convince people to buy things that they neither needed nor wanted. He was quite persuasive.
"Hey I got to work tomorrow too, I have a 7:30 am kendo class to teach at the dojo, I ain't gonna be up all night," Ikkaku showed his teeth.
"Why have you two got jobs? Didn't your Captain give ya' any money for living expenses? Who the hell's gonna watch him while I'm at school?" Renji screamed at the two of them.
Ikkaku scratched his cheek, "Just take him to school."
"WHAT!" Renji was about to deck someone. When they all heard Grimmjow's distinctive laugh.
"That sounds like a good idea to me," Grimm grinned, "Could be fun."
Renji was defeated he smacked his head, "I hope you realize that our classroom is full where will they put him?"
"Let me take care of that for you," Urahara looked a little too happy.
‘He really gets off on this crap don't he?’ Renji asked himself, of course not knowing the answer, "Well you better not be up to something we have a history test coming up and I'd really hate to do poorly." Renji sulked. He was suckered into doing all the work, he didn’t know of any good arguments. He jumped out of his gigai and put it on his futon. He would be less tired if he spent the night in soul-reaper form.
"Good night," Yumichika called as he went to start his nightly beauty regiment.
"This is gonna be a long night," The redhead sighed.
Grimm snickered, "Yeah sorry about that. They were left with nothing better to do so Grimm pulled a little pack out of his pocket, "You know how to play poker?" Grimm started shuffling and sat at the table.
"Careful I'm a sore loser," Renji went over to join him.
Karin was running from something. It was large and angry. Amethyst slits weaving in and out of a swampy thicket. Her heart was pounding. Her feet were sticking in a black ooze it was very hard to go anywhere, let alone go anywhere fast. The thing let out a hissing sound. It slithered lazily along in the muck. It seemed to be covered in the stuff. She got her foot tangled in an errant root and fell face first in to the black slime. She lifted herself out of the muck her face and body now also covered in it. She wiped the offending ooze away from her face before getting up. When she opened her eyes she was face to face with the thing. It appeared to be a huge black serpent with lavender eyes. They glowed like jewels though everything else around them seemed to be black.
"You really need to clean thisss messs up, Karin," The voice hissed gently at her. She suddenly realized that this thing must not have a killing intent (toward her at least), because she would have died many times already.
"Who are you? What mess?" Karin still one arm under her and one on her cheek. The thing did not move or speak, it's unblinking eyes stared at her quizzically.
It breathed cool air all over her body. The ooze started to just flake off of her as it dried up. Karin got up, "You haven't answered my questions yet. Firstly, what's your name?"
"It is...As I have told you many times before. The thing chuckled to itself." The large serpentine thing cocked it's head at her.
"I didn't quite catch that. About this mess do you mean this black ooze?" She looked around and it really did not seem as bad as it had been it was drying up and flaking away from the trees and from the large beast. Karin saw speckles of gunmetal gray mottled with a soft grayish purple. Karin put her hand forward and touched the thing's snout. She began to scratch the dirty substance away.
"Oh that feelsss sssso good I had the worssst itch on my nosssse right there," The thing nuzzled her. Karin laughed. The beast seemed really friendly. She continued to flake the stuff off the thing. Now realizing it was a humongous snake. The beast was very beautiful. It shook it's head in a jerky motion causing even more of the dirt to fall. It coiled it's self up lazily.
"Karin walked around this giant beast appraising it. She was awestruck, "Beautiful."
"Thank you Karin," The thing hissed in a deep rumbling voice. It seemed to come from deep within the thing's body. Karin flinched, as she was touching the thing it's body vibrated with each syllable. She giggled.
"What's wrong, what is that goo?" Karin pointed around them. There seemed to be less now as a wind picked up and was blowing the dried remnants away.
"You must be careful a dark influence is affecting you. The other is going to over whelm you." The serpent rumbled. It nuzzled her body worriedly, "You need to focus. You need training."
"Training?" Karin's brow furrowed in confusion.
"Karin, please be careful, he affects you as much as you affect him. You know it, don't you," The snake uncoiled and began to retreat.
"Wait!" She reached for it, but it slipped away and the world grew black again, oozing and dripping with foulness.
She heard a loud shriek in her ear she whipped around to meet a pair of crazed icy blue eyes. She screamed.
Before he heard it he knew what was about to happen. Karin's spirit exploded knocking him out of bed he was on his feet and out the bedroom door before she screamed, but he wasn't fast enough. She was screaming bloody murder. He crashed through her door nearly falling over carelessly thrown soccer cleats. He kept his balance. He took the girl's shoulders and shook her, "Wake up Karin." He was trying not to shout, but if she wasn't going to wake the whole house up his shouting wouldn't either. Karin's screams broke suddenly, but it was a full thirty seconds before she loudly sucked in air. She looked into Toshiro's icy blue green eyes, yes icy but still quite sane. She pulled him into a hug without thinking. He was at a loss, and yet overjoyed, and a tiny bit of him was thinking something perverted. His stomach bottomed out, but he let her hold him at least until she got her composure. Hitsygaya would not mind if she never regained her composure if it meant having her firm breasts pressed against his taught chest. He was on the verge of a breakdown when a small voice called from the darkness of the hallway.
Hanataro called in a sleepy voice, "Uh, is everything OK, I felt that spiritual pressure, and then there was screaming.
Karin practically pushed herself off him.
‘Damn Yamada!’ Hitsugaya thought, but said in a calm voice, "Yeah, Karin was just having a nightmare, go back to sleep Yamada."
"Oh-ok," the healer rubbed his eyes innocently and yawned walking back to the room he and Toshiro share.
"Um-I'm sorry, Hitsugaya," Karin was blushing deep red, it was dark, but the boy could tell. He felt the heat of her blush.
"No-no there's nothing to be sorry about. You want to talk about your dream?" He smiled, it looked like a very poorly used smile, but Karin appreciated it. She returned with a much easier smile. His loosened up and became more natural looking.
"I don't want to bore you..." Truthfully she was too frightened to go back to sleep, she would love to tell him, but it would be to embarrassing. She blushed again, ‘what's with me? I don't blush. Epically for stuck up little soul-reaper captains.’
“But Karin, he is being nice, can't you see it is hard for him,” A strangely familiar voice rumbled in her head.
‘What?’ Karin in shock she was losing her marbles.
“You are not crazy, just listen to me for a second. He likes you, I mean he really likes you. He lo-,” She cut the voice off again.
‘What! That prickly ice cube! He only cares that people don't treat him like a child,’ Karin chided her inner voice.
“Look at him, those are the eyes of a lover not an ice cube!” The voice commanded then shut up. Karin was staring off into space. Hitsugaya was looking in her eyes with great concern.
"Karin are you OK?" Hitsugaya took her shoulders and turned her to face him. He was looking deeply into her dark orbs, ‘She's in a trance? Has this got to do with the espada? What the HELL did he do to her! He's going to PAY!’
By now Karin had snapped out of it and returned his gaze he was almost too concerned to notice her eyes soften.
"Are you well?" He looked almost frightened.
She nodded to alleviate his worries, "Sorry I zoned out, I think you might be able to help me with this dream. Can I tell it to you?" He nodded worry still hung on his features and he was still holding her in an almost embrace.
"Uh, could you give me a little more space," He had not realized that he had leaned in and their noses were mere millimeters apart.
"Sorry,” he let go of her, ‘Why don't I want to let her go?’
“Because you love her,” now his inner voice was talking to him. He wisely left that argument for later so he could listen to Karin's dream. She recanted it as best she could. He nodded appreciatively. Karin took this to mean he knew what was up, but also saw the worry in his eyes. He bent his head a little, ‘Wait! Was he looking at my chest!’ Karin thought she was imagining that there is no way he cares about that kind of stuff. All he thinks about is responsibility and being a 'Captain of the 13 Court Guard Squad’
“He's doing it again, right now,” the hissing voice rumbled in her ears she looked up. He was he was checking her out. Should she slap him? Maybe ignore him, ‘Yeah then he’ll stop.’ Finally she snapped her fingers in his ear, he woke up from his perverted fantasy. He was blushing violently.
“My aren't you hormonal,” His inner voice smirked, “I never knew you could be so lustful.”
"Ahem," he cleared his throat looking at the wall behind Karin not looking at her. ‘DO NOT LOOK AT HER! THAT'S AN ORDER!’ He commanded.
“I'll look at her if I wish you keep talking. I'll let you know if anything good happens,” The inner voice of his zanpaktou had never sounded like this, were Toshiro’s feelings for the human affecting him that much. Karin shifted in her bed uncomfortably. She only now realized that she had a very attractive boy sitting on her bed in the middle of the night.
Toshiro took a calming breath, "Have you ever had any dreams like this before?"
Karin shook her head? Toshiro frowned, ‘this is Grimmjow's doing. He's brought about a change in her that should not have happened until she died. Between Rukia's zanpaktou stabbing her brother in the heart and Urahara's training Ichigo became a soul reaper, let's just say prematurely, and still he became a visored. That was very risky, now Karin has her zanpaktou talking to her and her inner hollow had exposed itself to her after only a few days with that monster. Karin said that her creature told her she needed to train, and also implied that Grimmjow was doing this, but was not aware of it. Are they influencing each other? We need to keep her away from him and we need to get her checked out!’
"Karin," He looked at her with a caring expression.
"Huh?"
"I'm not going to lie to you this may be bad. If I'm right that snake creature is your zanpaktou, the blue eyes creature may be the hollow that resides in your soul plotting to take over. We must go to Urahara's shop tomorrow and have him check you out."
“You sure are long winded tonight,” his zanpaktou chided.
"Toshiro," Karin leaned forward. Her shirt slipped down a little exposing more of her neck and just a hint of her breasts. Hitsugaya was locked in place.
"Yes," Karin started to get out of her bed and he found that he could suddenly move his eyes. She was wearing nothing but a teeshirt and panties. He could see enough of the tiny white undergarment to fuel his hormonal imaginings for eternity. Her legs were a real turn on for him, they were toned and long considering her short stature. They were the same pale cream color as her face. He found himself leaning in to her, helpless to her spell.
"Get your eyes off my tits and your mind out of the gutter," Karin smiled, "I never knew you were such a pervert. Especially with that Lieutenant. She is always practically popping out of her uniform, every time I've seen her, you never even glance at hers."
"Familiarity breeds contempt," He said it was supposed to be sarcastic but he was smiling and his lips brushed her cheek. He pulled back waiting for a reaction. Karin blushed and touched her cheek.
"That's gonna cost you," She smirked. He looked at her worried, but she leaned in and kissed his lips. It was firmer then his kiss but it was still barely a peck. Then she did the unthinkable. Picking up her pillow; she whacked him in the head.
"Go back to bed, Captain Pervert," She cackled. He was flush with shock and yet he burned to kiss her again. Instead he got up and mindlessly left her. When her door was closed she was so relieved. She wasn't sure, but thought her heart had taken up permanent resident in the back of her throat.
Renji and Grimm had gotten bored with poker and were now watching infomercials on one of the cable channels. Renji wanted to change it, but Grimmjow was fascinated by the 'miracle' food chopper, and he wanted to know why that strange man was so excited about it. Suddenly they felt a strong spiritual pressure, they both knew that pressure. Grimm tried to get up and go to her, Renji stilled the man.
Grimm looked like he could kill the man, then thought better of it. Renji waited for the moment to pass. He realized that Karin was probably just having a bad dream, ‘or a really good dream.’ It subsided in less than 30 seconds and everything was peaceful. He let go of the hollow. It was weird, ‘He seems so human, it's strange. I hope this ain't an act for all of our sakes.’
They turned their attention back to the TV, the man was running the food chopper over with his car. ‘Look it only cracked a little,’ Renji looked at the clock it was 4 AM only a few more hours to go before they could get out of there.
