88 – Cats And Birds

Nelliel excitedly jumped beside Hisashi hugging on to one of his arms as they headed out. The other Espada that knew Nelliel from when she was the Numero Tres Espada were surprised to see the usually calm and collected Nelliel this way. Hisashi and the others followed Loly and Menoly's lead.

They had walked down a few hallways when suddenly Cirucci caught up with them. "Wait up!" she yelled after them.Follow the latest novels on no/velbin(.)com

They all turned in surprise. Loly looked annoyed to have been interrupted, but didn't say anything and just kept walking.

Cirucci ignored the two leading them and Hisashi while skipping along with them.

"Good to see see you again Nelliel," she tried again.

Nelliel simply nodded before focusing back on Hisashi. She seemed more interested in hugging on to Hisashi than dealing with this superficial girl.

Cirucci sighed, but turned her attention to Harribel and the Tres Bestias instead giving them her best smile. "Hi, I'm Cirucci," she introduced herself to them.

Harribel also nodded unsurely.

Cirucci sighed again. "Another strong silent type?" she said exasperatedly.

She looked over at the Tres Bestias. "What about the three of you?" she asked.

They came across Grimmjow leaning against a wall before they got to their new quarters.

"What are you doing here?" Loly asked indignantly.

"Shut it shorty!" Grimmjow growled out dismissively before his eyes settled back on Hisashi.

Loly gritted her teeth before stomping up towards him. "You only just joined. Not only that, but you came back like a beaten dog not too long ago. Know your place," she sneered. How dare he dismiss her like that? She already had to put up with the disrespect of most of the Espada, she wasn't going to be putting up with it coming from members not even powerful enough to be an Espada.

Grimmjow's gaze hardened as it returned to her. He didn't like being disrespected and when it was someone he felt was below him he didn't accept it. Faster than Loly could respond he dashed for her his hand shooting towards her eye with his fingers stretched like a blade.

Before he could gouge out her eye though Hisashi interfered grabbing ahold of his hand that was now mere inches away from a terrified Loly's eyeball. He had already been faster than Grimmjow during their last meeting and had pumped most of his stat points gained since then into his speed. Since he was already standing quite close to her interfering wasn't too hard.

Loly audibly gulped looking between Hisashi and Grimmjow who were staring at each other and Grimmjow's hand that was still shaking as he was trying to overpower Hisashi to finish his attack. "How dare you?! Aizen will hear about this!" she exclaimed.

Grimmjow clicked his tongue, but did pull his claw from Hisashi's grip then walked off. "This isn't over yet." he said looking back over his shoulder, but he was looking at Hisashi instead of Loly. It was clear their meeting hadn't been an accident and he hadn't given up on his prey yet. He had already escaped him twice and it was getting on Grimmjow's nerves.

Loly was glaring at his back until he turned the corner leaving her sight. She breathed in deeply a few times before calming down.

She looked over the group, her eye eventually settling on Hisashi before looking away from him. "T-thanks," she murmured not used to expressing her gratitude. She had even been treating him badly. Worse yet this Vasto Lorde had been able to save her from Grimmjow's attack that she hadn't even been able to react to which embarrassed her.
