Here is where all Hollows are born, raised and eventually turned to Grandes. Watch out for 3 rouge hollows as they are known for causing massive trouble and are wanted.

Grimmjow growled, "I really don't want to have to carry you all the way back to base, so can you start walking?!" Kurione stubbornly remained sitting in the sand, "No, I'm gonna sit right here until you send me back to Karakura." Growing frustrated, the Espada kicked at the sand.

"Why won't you just come back. After those idiot Shinigamis cast you out we were your only friends! We can keep Aizen from doing anything to you, but we want you back!"

Kurione scoffed, "Fat chance. The only one who actually liked was was Neliel-sama."

"About her... She's no longer a part of the Espada."

"W-What?"

Kayin was looking around amazed as they walked. Yoruichi smirked at him, he seemed just like a small child in a new place.

"You know Yoruichi, this place reminds me of the Sahara desert. It's like it's a reflection of the Sahara."

"Really, how so?" Heh, why not feed his enthusiasm.

"Because, it's barren, filled with nothing but sand and its dunes remind me of the dunes in the Sahara."

She chuckled, even in such a serious manner, he couldn't help but act subconciously like a child.

"So where, are we heading for Yoruichi, can you sense their reiatsu?"

"Not the Arrancar, but definetely Kurione's."

Grimmjow uneasily turned his back to her. "She was killed and her spot was given away."

Kurione jumped up and forced Grimmjow to face her, grabbing his shirt in her fists and yanking him forward, "I swear, Grimm, you better not be shitting me right now or I swear I'll kill you!" Though Grimmjow knew he was no good at comforting he placed a hand on her shoulder and muttered, "She's dead, do you really think I would lie to you about that?"

"Hmm this is strange indeed."

"What are you talking about Kayin?"

He looked at her with an air of serious around him "I just realized that we're lost."

She looked at him deadpanned, was he serious or what. This was too out of character and so suddenly too. "How about you try to search out Kurione's reiatsu. I'll help you along since this place is unknown, even to me."

Kayin closed his eyes and concentrated hard. After a minute, he sighed.

"Damn, I can't do it. This place, the air, it's so weird. The atmosphere along has a ton of Reiryoku so tracking the girl's own reiatsu or even reiryoku is pretty hard."

"Keep trying, I'm doing the same as well. I think tracking the Arrancar at this point will be pretty moot, so just focus on Kurione."

He sighed as he continued. Guess it was for the best. Kurione was a good fighter and her inner self was amazing, so he couldn't let anything happen to them.

Had to understand the concepts of Reiatsu, Reiryoku and Reishi. Hope you enjoy the use of this topic

Kurione fough back the tears as the startling death of her first friend in such a harsh time hit her like a bag of bricks in a pillowcase filled with rusty nails. Pushing her head against Grimmjow's chest she growled, "Damnit, damnit, damnit! Who killed her! I'll avenge Neliel-sama's death! Tell me who killed her!" Not waiting for an answer her reiatsu began leaking out in crushing waves until Grimmjow smacked her, her face snapping to the side in shock. "Don't let out your reiatsu like that or you'll just attract trouble."

I am enjoying it very much. This is fun!

As she sat crossed legged, he couldn't help but watch her every now and then. He could tell her legs were soft and smooth as her pants hugged her limber legs. His eyes traced her frame, from the tips of her feet up to her calve tips where her knees rest. And soon up to her betweens of legs tracing around where her hips were. He just wanted to run his hands along her, just to feel the smoothness of-holy shit what the hell. No fucking way, get those lewd thoughts out your head, he thought, shaking furiously. She was.....cute. Ok fine he admitted it, she was cute, but that's it. She was annoying, funny, lewd, attractive, a dickhead, smart. Fuck this wasn't helping, he forced her wonder-er disgusting image out his head and focused on Kurione. She wasn't that attractive in her appearance, but when she was in her crazed version. No wait, they were two seperate entities in one body. So when her devilish side appeared, she seemed oddly attractive. Or was it just her battle style that attractive that. Pretty much that he presumed.

"Why are you not concentrating on the girl and instead on me," he heard Yoruichi's slick voice. That caused him to immediately fume and a chesire grin grew across her face.

"Noone's thinking about you, you stupid cat-burglar." He sank into the sand crossing his arms and legs as he huffed and continued to concentrate.

"Found her." What the hell, but he just sat down. Not given any time to move, he was immediately dragged without warning to Kurione's location.

Kurione's cheek stung and she in return punched Grimmjow on the top of his head. Face-planting in the sand, the blue-haired Espada resisted from fighting back even though he really wanted to. "Damn, you're still as tempermental as you are sexy."

"Fuck off, if you won't open the gate just leave me to rot in this godforsaken desert!"

Grimmjow rubbed the top of his head and muttered, "I complimented you and I get yelled at. I think I prefer the you when I first met you."

"I was way too shy back then and too scared to hit you. Not anymore, and I ain't going back to that way." Kurione felt breath on her neck as Grimmjow appeared behind her and chuckled, "Even if I were to seduce you back?"

"Ah, aren't you a bit easy eh Kurione? If I knew that earlier, I would have totally asked you on a date."

Seems as though they finally found them, though the distance was incredibly short. It was only a few meters gap between the two pairs.

"So, are you guys about to kiss or do what? If not, allow us to take her off your hands flame head. She seems to be a handful to you."

Kurione grunted, "Ask Setsuko, I'm sure she wouldn't mind... And I'm not easy..." Then she realized just who had spoken, "Kayin!" Jumping away from Grimmjow she feigned ignorance, "And why the hell would I kiss a complete stranger, not to mention the ene-mnmmph." Grimmjow slapped a hand over her mouth and grinned, showing off his fangs though only one could be seen because of his jaw-mask.

"Why should I let you have her. She seems like the kinda prize you don't just let go." Gritting his teeth he growled, "No matter how much of a pain in the ass she is."

Yoruichi and Kayin smirked simultaneously laying their backs on each other. That was pretty scary but he didn't mind it. He thought it was actually kind of cool.

"Because one," Yoruichi started. "She seems to be the only one who can help Kazuki."

"And two," Kayin finished as his reiatsu started to flare, taking his pole arm from his back. "If you don't let her go, I'll deliver your head to Serietei" His reiatsu momentarily bursted, as only a small amount was let loose before calming down, very heavy nonetheless though Yoruichi was not effected by it.

Grimmjow smirked, "That just give me more reason to keep her. Don't you think so Kurione-chan?" Biting into her neck, Kurione yelled into his hand and thrashed in his hold. She knew what he was doing, he had done the same thing decades ago when she was still new to Hueco Mundo. He was inserting his reiatsu into her body through her blood to serve as a tracking device should he actually lose. Still keeping an eye on the two in front of him Grimmjow licked at the new wound, it closing up with a slight scar as proof it had actually happened.

Letting his own dark reiatsu come out to play, he and Kurione became immersed in the sheer power of his reiatsu alone. The power of an Espada.

Hmm, so he wanted to play the ol' reiatsu game did he? Fine, let him play. He had gotten used to their sort of reiatsu by now (though he still wasn't sure whether she was an arrancar or a vizard) and simply shakily shrugged it off, though the feeling still felt kind of new. He appeared behind the blue haired man, and swatted at him with a little more force than necessary at his knees. He would expect for the man to expect somewhere above the belt. It was time for a change of pace.

"What's the name of the ugly being I'm going to kill."

Kurione yelped as she was hoisted onto Grimmjow's shoulder just in time as he jumped over the swat. Unsheathing his sword he growled ferally, "I ain't ugly and the name's Grimmjow Jeagerjaques, don't bother remembering it cause you won't be alive much longer!" Using superior speed without the use of sonido, Grimmjow began butchering his sword into a series of brutal slashes meant to tear and torture. Kurione on the other hand was blcking out the fight. Kirin had been left in the Human World, and it took a lot of concentration to summon it between dimensions.

Heh, what a slow guy. And he thinks he's fast. "Are you kidding me. Setsuko is much faster than this. And you call yourself apart of the Espada team, whatever that is."

He blocked all his slashes and pushed him back as the final one came, appearing behind him again as he threw a chi blast at his back. As he did that, he did it four more times three around the rest of his body and the fourth from above.

watching bleach episodes 206-12 so sorry for the wait between posts

Grimmjow growled and sonido-ed through a gap so that the chi blasts impacted with each other and not him. He was frustrated by the fact that he had to protect Kurione as well as fight back, and he couldn't let her go without a fight. Gathering energy for a wide-range cero, he let fly the energy with a boom. "Dodge this, bastard!"

No problem, I'm watching stuff in between posts, too.

"You're attacks are too direct. I'll say this again. I get a way better challenge from Setsuko than from an ugly face like yours Grim....err, Grinjam?"

Just as the cero was a foot away from Kayin, he disappeared and reappeared on the right side of his face, his hand pressed upon it, where a large amount of chi was forming.

"Don't think just because you have a hostage will mean, I will take it easy. I'm taking it easy already." THe amount of chi was larger than his hand and he let loose, though he also had another one forming just in case.

For my preference, what time zone are you in?

Grimmjow tucked Kurione under his body as he rolled from the force of the blast. Growling he hefted her on top of his shoulder once more before letting loose multitudes of wide ceros, leaving no spot open for him to dodge through. Holding his sword ready he waited to see if his opponent would survive this.

I'm west coast California... In the middle of the desert, but if you're east coast we have a three hour difference.

This guy, she sure was a hinderance under him wasn't she? He ran as much as he could towards the end of the last blast, and as expected was caught by the last one. Instead of letting his entire body get hit He jumped as high as he could to try and avoid it. The trick failed but it brought up another one. As he was flipped through the air, he grabbed his staff as tightly as possible preparing himself for the final flip and fall. He fell, and right on his hands and knees which was lucky. Using this, he also allowed his staff to slam down on the ground to allow a wide range of a powerful chi wave erupt from the staff on the ground towards him. He breathed heavily as his shoulder was scorched. It wasn't bad enough that Setsuko put a hole in the middle of his uniform, but now he lost his right shoulder of his uniform.

"Damn, all this chi usage is starting to wear me out. Never used this much chi before. Only have a some left before I'm forced to use reiatsu. I need to practice more with this," he muttered to himself. Yoruichi saw it too. She'll have to up his training regime when they got home. "Oi, Granny jerk, I don't know what that was suppose to do, but like I said. I won't stop myself from defeating you, even if Kurione gets hurt in the process. Kurione, why are not helping to set yourself free. This guy is pathetically weak, you can take him on no problem."

He stood himself up still with ragged breaths. Not sure how much longer he could keep up this chi usage. Between flying by his enemy only for fun and continually throwing chi blasts, he was going to have to stop playing around and end this immediately. This guy didn't know when to quit.

Kurione's concentration had been broken when they got blasted, and she couldn't risk using up so much time to try and summon Kirin again. "Grimmjow... just let me go..." "I can't do that. Neliel wouldn't have wanted you with them."

"I didn't want to have to do this." Letting Setsuko take partial control with only one eye changing color and her mask fragment on top of her head as horns, Setsuko kneed him in the crotch without hesitation, and dusted herself off as she stood, "Damn, I've always wanted to do that." "Don't get used to it."

Struggling up, Grimmjow prepared to buy himself a few minutes before he would tuck his tail and run. "I won't forget this Kurione. I'll know where you are."

"Ah Setsuko, good to see you among us once again. I don't know why you didn't do that in the first place but ok." He turned to Grimmjow now with Yoruichi by his side."It's three against one. I don't think you can win at all now." His breathing more calmer he hoisted his staff like a sword pointed at Grimmjow.

Kurione's vision began to dim, but she managed to watched as sand flew everywhere with Grimmjow's powered sonido. In a split second he was gone. The mask crumbling Kurione grunted, "This is why I didn't do it before." Passing out, her knees gave out underneath her and she fell to the sand, unconscious.

He watched as Grimmjow leave but couldn't trace which way he left. No longer concerned about her, Yoruichi shupo'd by his sid with a limp Kurione.

"She's kind of sexy don't you think so Kayin?"

"D-Don't ask me a stupid question like," he responded turning away from Yoruichi with a blush.

"Aww, you like her don't you."

"Shut up you cat-burglar." She was pretty sexy, at least Setsuko was anyway, though that thought wouldn't cross his mind again for a while. The playful air eventually dissipated returning to the grim state. "So, how the hell are we suppose to get out of here?"

You can take over Yoruichi for a while if you want. I still don't have a clue as to how to get out of Hueco Mundo.

Yoruichi leered with a chuckled and picked up Kurione only to dump her on Kayin. "Well, you can watch her while I try and tear a gate open for us." Teasingly letting her hands roam over his chest she winked, "Unless you have something else in mind?"

He grew hot and it wasn't due to Kurione. His breathing hastened as did his heart rate. The fucking lewd.

"I'll behead you nine times one day I swear Yoruichi."

He was literally fuming, smoking coming out of his ears and nose. Either he was a dragon or a hollow? He looked down at Kurione as she looked quite peaceful. Wonder what Setsuko was thinking.

Yoruichi chuckled and walked a whiles away, swaying her hips sexily, "You wish." She just loved the reactions she got from him. Gathering some reiatsu she set to work on unthreading the seam of the gate so that they could slip through and into the Human World.

In her own dimension within Kurione's mind, Setsuko was fuming. "Damnit! I want to tease him too! It's so boring in here, no guys and Kurione won't go that way with me!" "Don't pin this on me, I don't swing that way."

He watched her walk away a scowl apparent on his face. Though he was secretly mesmerized by her sway of the hips. Definetely on his shit list. I'll definetely kill her for making me fall for a lewd of a woman like her. He sat down staring only at the girl in his arms, absentmindedly. Wait a minute, when did Yoruichi know how to rip holes in the fabrics of dimensions. Then again, before he even thought of becoming someone as powerful as himself, he didn't even think ripping dimensions was an even plausible thing. Guess now that he looks at it, absolutely anything is possible.

A small tear was visible now, but if she wasn't careful she could cause a whole lot of trouble. Looking back at Kayin she smirked at the nearly blank look on his face, "Do I put you outta your mind that much?"

Huh what? He looked up and saw her smirking. Must be something lewd, he was sure. Though, maybe it would be nice to just....no, no, no. He was of Zimbabwian descent. An African and he would respect all females no matter how much of a pervert they were. He would not be drawn to their perversion. He sighed and noticed something dark just hanging onto nothing inbetween space, besides Yoruichi.

"Yoruichi, what's that black thing besides you?"

"It's the gate. Let me finish up and we can get back... Then we can have some fun?" Unthreading more of the dimension it widened by a fraction and so she continued.

He rolled his eys. But wait a thought occurred just then. Yes, he knew a way to get back at her ass. He smirked.

"Sure, just hurry up so we can have some fun ne?" Finally he'll get back at her.

Yoruichi nearly tore open the gate. Keeping herself calm she chuckled, "So you're finally going to stop denying me, Kayin-kun?"

He raised his head up, he couldn't believe he was leading her on like that. "Just hurry up and open the gate or rip, whatever. My arms are getting tired."

"Don't worry, it's finished. Now let's get out of here before you change your mind." Yoruichi stood up and dusted the sand off of her long legs, making sure Kayin was watching.

"Oh don't worry, I'll make sure we have good hard fun." He smirked inwardly as he mumbled. Though his voice was soon caught in his throat as she dusted the sand off her legs in such a dramatic fashion. Damn her and her ways. She'll get hers soon enough. That he'll make sure of. Placing the girl on her shoulder, his hand on Kurione's rump unintentionally, he decided a run was better than a walk as who knows how long it will be before that stupid rip decides to close.

"See you on the other side Yoruichi-chan."

It was pitch black between dimensions. He was suprised he could see. Better wait for Yoruichi to come and guide him out of there. He wasn't exactly sure on his own directions.

Yoruichi rolled her eyes as Kayin just barged through the rip. "Straight ahead, idiot." She noticed where Kayin's hand on Kurione was and smirked, 'If it doesn't work out between us, I could always get to pay matchmaker. Muahahaha!' Good thing Kayin couldn't see the evil sparkle in her eyes, though he could probably feel her gaze burning through him.

To the world of the living.

Kurione's feet touched the sand and a giddy feeling shot through her body. "Don't worry, I'll make sure he comes back safe and sound Kisuke."

Maria growled in annoyance as she spread her senses as far as they would go. "We really should tell Sander not to hide everyone's reiatsu so much when one of us go out on a mission. They're always way to hard to find."

"How many of you are there anyway?" Kazuki asked. leaning on Kurione a little.

"Of us, honey. You belong to the group too, ya know." Senna corrected. "And it's four, not counting Reina-sama."

He sighed as he got up, helping Yoruichi. These beings and their damn clingyness.

"Wow, Kazuki, didn't realize how popular you were with the ladies," Kayin dully said brushing himself off as he joined them. "Kurione, looks like you got competition."

Kurione growled as she placed an arm around his waist, "Ha, like I would let anyone else have him." Shifting him so it would be easier for him to lean on her for support. "So just what exactly is going on with Kazuki?"

Senna sighed and turned around. "Sis, you explain. I'm no good at stuff like that and I've found them anyway."

Maria nodded and glanced over her shoulder as she followed her sister. "As you may know. Kazuki's reiatsu is resisting his body. This happens only to a few people, all of them with high levels of reiatsu. Only those with the ability to stabilize spirit particles can cure it, but we do end up something like this." She gestured at her face and the mask fragment, which looked like a choker just like her sister's." She sighed and faced the front again. "We are neither hollow nor Shinigami, nor are we vizards. We don't know what to call ourselves other than the names Reina-sama gave us when she saved our lives."

She smiled at him. "I wonder how long she'll need for you. Oh, and sorry about my sis. She just likes to fool around."

"What was that, sis?"

"Nothing Senna."

"It's fine, let's just hurry up before I collapse too. I've almost run out of reiatsu." Holding Kazuki up her mind was thinking miles a minute about the new information she just received. "You're just one surprise after another aren't you Kazuki?"

Eh, he stopped caring about what was wrong with him at this point. As long as Kazuki could live to fight another day, that was fine with him. Still it was kind of a peeve to know that a person was outranking you in power. He followed the group nonetheless.

"You should have said you were getting tired." Kazuki said as he took his weight off her and grasped her hand, squeezing it slightly. "Honestly, why can't I just be normal every now and then?"

Senna laughed in the front. "Normal is overrated. People call me a conflict adict. I just say I jave an overdeveloped love for fights."

"Isn't that the same?" Her sister muttered.

Kazuki rolled his eyes. "This is gonna be a long day. Who is this Reina-sama you keep talking about anyway?"

Maria shrugged. "Reina-sama, or Reina de la Rey, was known as the queen of Hueco Mundo. Untill Aizen came along. He didn't take to kindly to her refusing his offer to join the Espada. She saved my sister and me when we fled from Seireitei, on the brink of death." Her eyes grew dreamy as she smiled. "She's the kindest, most caring, most wonderful and pretiest person you'll ever meet."

"We know already! You have the hots for her! Get over it!" Senna called back with a smirk.

"I DO NOT HAVE THE HOTS FOR REINA-SAMA!"

He raised a brow at this.

"Maria, this 'Reina-Sama' you speak so highly of, how is she attractive? Are we talking humanly attractive....or something else?"

Kurione chuckled slightly at the sisterly scene. Almost made her wish she had a sister instead of her back-stabbing brother. Kurione looked Kazuki up and down, "I didn't tell you cause you're worse off than me right now. I'm not as injured, just depleted. I hope you guys have good beds."

Maria glanced at Kayin, blushing heavily. "She's beautiful in a human way, but there is a supernatural beauty there too that...."

"Makes you moan her name in your sleep!"

"Screw you! Anyway, I'm not sure if she'll even show you her face. She didn't show it to us at first. As for sleep, we have a few beds, it's no problem." Maria continued, trying to regain her usual cold demeanor.

Kazuki smiled. "What does she expect in return? I doubt she'll help me just because she's bored."

"Ask her. We don't know."

"Hmm, yes well anyway, we should have brought with us some form of cloaks. It would look highly cool flapping in the wind as it will protect from sand particles constantly slapping your face ya know?"

Strange, Yoruichi was oddly quiet. Eh as long as she wasn't acting prudent, it was fine with him.

"All I care about it getting Kazuki what he needs for this and a nice comfy bed. Don't bed surprised if I sleep through tomorrow." Kurione looked off into the distant white sandy horizon. Wondering if Grimmjow was trying to track her through all of this. Absentmindedly rubbing the bite mark on her neck, her eyes glazed over in thought.

Senna glanced over her shoulder and smirked at Kayin. "Aw, is the sand hurting you honey?" Suddenly a blur of movement shot past her, straight at Kazuki.

Kazuki managed to push Kurione out of the way and draw Ranmyaku just in time to block the sword of his attacker, forcing him to one knee. Blue eyes glared at him from the hood hiding the attacker's face and they exchanged several quick blows, before he jumped back. "In the name of Reina de la Rey, rightful queen of Hueco Mundo, I order you to leave."

"Sander, look before you strike." Maria muttered as she ran a hand through her hair.

The attacker glanced over his shoulder. "Senna? Maria?"

"Who else ya moron." Senna muttered.
