NOVEL NEXT Chapter 10: Chapter 9
"So…how's the mission going?" She smirked slightly.
"Don't start with me you damned cat," Kukaku said, giving the Captain a look that would make anyone else shit their pants.
Nel giggled as she picked up her drink, avoiding eye contact with the seething Kukaku.
"Is something funny Neliel?"
Nel's head snapped up to meet Kukaku's glare. "Nope. Zero laughter over here."
"Hey, don't threaten my Lieutenant just 'cause you got screwed…oh wait. I guess you didn't or you wouldn't be in such a bitchy mood," Yoruichi said snidely. "So I guess it's safe to say you haven't even thought about starting your mission."
Kukaku rolled her eyes and as she always did, reached for the sake and drank straight from the bottle.
"Look who I found on the way over," a voice said from behind her.
Kukaku turned to see a smiling Rangiku accompanied by Grimmjow, Ikkaku and Renji.
"Join us," Yoruichi offered, gesturing for them to sit.
"Thanks, we'll stay at least until—." Renji's reply was cut off by someone interrupting from behind.
"I'm here," the new attendee stated.
Kukaku knew that voice anywhere. He could easily be mistaken for a woman. His voice lacked even the faintest amount of bass; and what probably irked her the most was the fact that he was prettier than her. Not that she cared about her looks or what anyone else thought about them, but it was just…wrong. She turned slowly and saw Yumichika damn near sauntering towards the group. For no other reason than pure insanity and sexual frustration, she turned and punched the table, totally destroying it and sending pieces of wood flying everywhere.
"Shit Kaku. What the hell?" Yoruichi yelled. "Can I help you," she said immediately redirecting her glare to the approaching owner of the establishment. He had initially been coming to kick their rowdy party out, but upon seeing the ice cold stare of the golden eyed Shinigami and the crazed look of the one armed woman, he simply offered to move them to a more comfortable place…like one with a table.
Deciding to stay together, the group followed the owner to a larger booth. Yoruichi, Nel and Rangiku purposely scrambled to sit together, leaving Kukaku no other choice but to sit beside Yumichika. More drinks were ordered and everyone seemed to be having a good time except Kukaku, who wore a permanent scowl. She sat holding her bottle to her chest like her life depended on it, ignoring the looks she got when she drank from the bottle. She stared at the side of Yumichika's face in disgust. It's not that she had anything against gay people, she didn't. She was just pissed the fuck off that someone who liked sex as much as she did had picked him of all people to play what was supposed to be a sexual prank on.
"What are you looking at?" the girly voice piped up.
Realizing she was more than a little drunk and had obviously spaced out for a moment, she met Yumichika's slightly amused face. Had she been staring at him this whole time?
"Nothing," she said rudely, while scooting as far away from him as she could…which was about two inches.
"No need to be embarrassed, I completely understand. Beauty like mine is very rare. It's only natural for you to want to stare." Her eye twitched. "I imagine you are unable to look away." He paused then sighed. "It's so hard to be me." Instead of punching the sparkle off his face Kukaku guzzled the remainder of the bottle she was holding, and then slammed it down on the table.
"That was lovely," Yumichika said before turning back to the others. Her eye twitched again.
From across the table Yoruichi watched the odd couple wondering if Yumichika knew just how close he was to being murdered. When she noticed Kukaku getting up she thought that maybe he really had reached the end of the line, until she announced that she was going to the restroom as if everyone needed to know that.
"I'll go with you," Rangiku slurred.
"Ohhhh me too. I've been holding it forever. Help me up, my legs won't work," Nel said reaching her hand out to the blonde while leaning back on Renji whose face was as red as his hair.
"I can't help you I have a drink in my hand. Yo, get your Lieutenant," Rangiku said.
Yoruichi raised her eyebrow at the nickname that Rangiku usually only used in private. She must have been really drunk. She sighed and yanked her Lieutenant's arm as she stood.
"You can't just have a party in the bathroom and not invite us," Renji complained.
Kukaku leaned over the table to look him straight in the eyes before punching him in the nose and walking off with her friends. 'They may be nice to look at but they sure are stupid.'
Once in the bathroom Kukaku exploded just as Yoruichi had expected her to.
"SHIT, SHIT, SHIT! I'm leaving. I can't take this," she yelled as she emptied her bladder.
"Stop being such a pussy. Just do it tonight and get it over with. I'm sick of hearing your mouth."
"Tonight?" she yelled.
"Oh yea, do it tonight. Maybe he'll be so drunk he won't even remember. Then you won't have to worry about being embarrassed," Rangiku said clapping.
"I'm not embarrassed. I don't give a fuck about what that fairy thinks. He can remember all he wants," she said exiting the stall.
"Then shut up and do it."
Yoruichi was challenging her and she knew it. Tonight was as good a night as any and besides she'd have to do it anyway because Gods only knew what the consequences would be for failure.
"Ca-Captain," said a small voice. Rangiku froze.
