NOVEL NEXT Chapter 11: Chapter 10
"So what do you expect me to do? Just waltz out there and say Hey fairy, give me a lesson in etiquette or I'll kick your scrawny ass?"
"That might work. He would definitely see the urgency of the situation," Yoruichi said sarcastically.
Neither of them noticed Rangiku standing like a statue in the middle of the floor until they faintly heard, "Can you help me…PLEASE?"
"What the hell was that?" Kukaku yelled, since the sake had taken away her ability to control the volume of her voice.
"Shhh," Rangiku finally said. "I think it's a ghost."
"In the Soul Society?" Yoruichi said blankly.
"Oh, right," the blonde slurred slapping her forehead. "Then it must be Chuck Norris," she said completely serious.
It was official. Rangiku was totally wasted. "Ok, Ran lets go home now," The purple haired Captain said, grabbing her arm and heading for the door.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, help me damnit," someone screamed.
"Nel?" Yoruichi said. "No. Chuck," Rangiku corrected.
Yoruichi gestured for Kukaku to check the stall the voice had come from. She slowly made her way to the stall and cautiously opened the door. If it was Chuck Norris she didn't want to risk a round house to the face.
"My butt's touching the water," Nel whined in front of her.
"Bwaaaaaaahahahahahahaha." Kukaku couldn't breathe.
"I fell in! You guys started yelling and scared me," she pouted trying in vain to dislodge her rear end from the toilet bowl. Kukaku looked at her with tears in her eyes before falling on the floor in another fit of laughter.
"Hurry before my butt starts to look like Head Captain Yamamoto's face."
"I don't think you're butt'll grow a white beard just 'cause it sat in some toilet water for a couple minutes. Do you?" Rangiku said confused, looking to Yoruichi for answers.
"No. Kaku get her outta there and let's go," Yoruichi responded.
"What the hell took ya'll so long," said an obviously irritated Grimmjow.
"You don't wanna know," Yoruichi shook her head. "But we've gotta go. Rangiku is…well…I don't even wanna start, and Nel's butt is wrinkled."
"There're two bottles left. Waste is very unbeautiful," Yumichika said, causing the vein in Kukaku's head to nearly burst.
"Come on Kaku," Grimmjow said standing up. "You take one and I'll take one. Whoever finishes last pay's for everything.
"I hope you brought enough money then," she said with a psycho grin that rivaled the one Grimmjow was sporting.
"On three," he said. "One…two…three."
The two started drinking like their very lives depended on it, while Nel cheered Kukaku on and everyone else looked on in amused silence. When it came down to the last bit Yoruichi's competitive side got the best of her. "Come on Kaku," she yelled. Her friend beat Grimmjow by only a couple seconds, but she couldn't help but feel proud. She said her farewells and turned to leave with Rangiku hanging from her body.
"Grimmjow take Kukaku home," Yoruichi told him. He nodded with a devilish grin and winked at Kukaku.
Yoruichi smiled to herself as they left the bar going their separate ways. Judging by the way Grimm was eyeing her friend after she won that bet, she was in for an exciting night and would hopefully be in a better mood the next time she saw her.
'I'm such a good friend,' she smiled to herself.
Day 6
Kukaku woke up with a throbbing headache and a full bladder. She jumped up and dashed to the bathroom, groaning the whole way there. As she sat down she noticed a huge bruise on the inside of her thigh.
"What the hell?" she mumbled as she poked the maroon spot with her finger. No pain. Squinting, partly because of the pain in her head, she leaned in to get a closer look. 'Is this a hickey?' When she stood she felt an all too familiar pain in her thighs and back. She yawned then snapped her mouth shut, her eyes growing wide. Her jaw was sore and that could only mean one thing. She rolled her eyes as she thought about what Yoruichi would say, 'You forgot you weren't a snake again didn't you? Your jaw can't dislocate and you can't swallow things whole.'
She looked at herself in the mirror. "Shit." She turned her head to the side appraising the two passion marks on her neck.
"Grimmjow?" She remembered leaving with him but not much else.
She stared blankly into the mirror willing herself to remember anything that happened after leaving with the blue haired Arrancar. "Shit," she yelled. "You'd think if I banged one of the hottest men in the Soul Society I'd at least remember something."
She stomped back to her room and got in the bed, burying herself under the covers. 'There's no way in hell I can deal with Yumichika today.' She was pissed, hung-over, and exhausted.
Day 7
'How long can a lesson in Etiquette take? I'll do it tomorrow before the meeting,' she decides.
Day of the Next Meeting
Kukaku sat watching Koganehiko and Shiroganehiko clean up the latest mess she'd made testing some new fireworks that obviously needed more work. Today was the day that she would be forced to embarrass herself by attending Yumichika's charm school. She had no doubt he would make it his personal duty to embarrass her as much as possible, but she had a trick up her sleeve. If she had to humiliate herself then she might as well have some fun doing it.
She couldn't remember what she'd done with Grimmjow, but after getting over the initial shock, not that she had done it, just that she couldn't remember, she had to admit that she felt clear headed and relaxed. About two hours before the meeting she would go to the eleventh squad barracks and wait for her 'Sensei'. Then, the fun would begin.
