~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A game of truth and dare had just come to a close; Toshirou and Berri had already gone, and Ulquiorra was in the proccess of leaving.
Kon said, “’night!”
Ichigo muttered “Whatever” and waved Ulquiorra off.
In a sing song voice Kon called to Ulquiorra, “'hope your alone time with Kita was pleasant!” He was given one of the espada’s barely-perceptible glares before he vanished.
Scowling, Ichigo muttered to himself, “I don't.”
“Jealousssssssss,” Kon sang, gaining far too much enjoyment from Ichigo’s suffering. Ichigo was too depressed to get more than a little annoyed.
Kita walked back in then.
“Miss me?” she asked. Ichigo “humph”-ed.
Kita looked miffed. “Fine, I didn’t miss you either.”
Ichigo grumbled.
“I missed you!” Kon said.
Ichigo grumbled again.
“I missed you too, Kon.” Then she shot a look at Ichigo. “Ichi, what is your problem.”
“I don't have a problem. Can't I just be quiet and sit here on the couch?!
She didn’t look or sound convinced but said, “Okay, if you say so.” She stared at him. “You’re pouting, Ichigo,” she stated bluntly.
“I.do.not.pout.”
“Ha, whatever.” She sat down next to him on the couch and shoulder-bumped him with a smile. Ichigo closed his eyes. She shoulder-bumped him again. “Where is my Ichi smile? I know it is there somewhere.”
“No, it's not. Ulquiorra probably ate it.”
“Ichigo…”
“So, you have a nice chat? Hm?”
“Yes, we did.” She narrowed her eyes slightly at him.
“Psh.”
“Ichigo, knock this off,” she ordered. “What is your problem.” When he didn’t answer, she stood up and began to walk away. “Fine.”
“I don't have a problem! Jeez, can we change the subject now!”
Kon stretched and yawn. “Well, lovebirds, I’m hitting the hay. Goodnight.”
“Night, Kon.” They hugged. Same exchange between Ichigo and Kon, except without the hugs.
Kon left the room, but stayed listening in by the door with a pencil and notepad at the ready.
Ichigo sighed heavily and shook his head.
“So, are you going to talk to me?” said Kita. “Or should I leave?”
“Damn…I’m not mad at you…come sit down…all right?”
She looked back at him and, after a pause, came back sat down.
“Kita…I…”
“I what?”
“I don't know why...it's just...”
Kon was getting impatient, but at the same time captivated as he strained his ears to make sure he didn't miss anything – it was like an soap opera he couldn’t stop watching.
“When I see you and him together--it just makes me really angry.”
“Ichigo,” Kita said quietly.
“It's not like I have a right to feel that way...I know.”
Kita lowered her head. “I’m sorry, Ichi’…I don’t mean to hurt you…”
“Don't apologize! I didn't want you to feel bad...argh! This is why I didn’t say anything.” His eyes hardened. “It’s better if you just hate me.”
Kita shook her head. “I could never do that.”
Ichigo looked at her with shock. “But...you're with them...You have to hate me--I'm the enemy now.”
“But you mean a lot to me too.”
“Hasn't Ulquiorra told you to hate me though?”
“I could never hate you.”
“You'll be going against him…” He was secretly happy.
“I can’t go against what I feel.” You go, girl! Follow your heart, Kita! Kon thought with tears streaming down his eyes. “And what I feel for you is special.”
“S-Special...” He looked away with a slight blush.
Kita chuckled. “Yes, special.”
“Don’t laugh at me....” he grumbled.
“Why not?”
“I have pride too.”
“You’re silly.”
“Contrary to what he said, I just did all those things to uphold my pride...he didn't have to take it so seriously.” He smirked. “I’d never played that before...”
Kita shook her head.
“Trying to get him to bow before Toushiro like that was a bad move. Things could have gotten really bad.”
“Ranks and enemies aside, I thought he deserved it for making Berri do that. I didn't pull anything like that, I mean, I could've dared Ulquiorra to run himself through or something.”
“True.”
“I can see how this game can get mean fast.”
“Yes.”
Ichigo yawned.
“Tired?”
“Yeah, it’s been a hard day for me…again.”
“Let’s call it a night then. What do you say to ice cream before we part ways?”
Ichigo perked up a bit. “Ice cream? Chocolate?”
She smiled. “Sure."
“Alright.” He stood up. “I can wake up for ice cream. Oh yeah...you liking my jacket?” He grinned.
“Yes, I am and it is very warm - thank you for that earlier.”
“No problem.”
Then she hugged him. “Thanks for being there.”
Ichigo blushed and looked awkward. “Well…I…uh…I’m not anywhere else…” Smooth, Ichigo, thought Kon sarcastically.
Kita pulled back and Ichigo coughed awkwardly. “How ‘bout that ice cream!?”
Kita tilted her head slightly, smiling. “You’re a great friend.”
“So are you, Kita...”
“Thanks.” Then she abruptly turned and, just before jetting out the door, said, “Last one there buys.
“No way!” He took off – but secretly decided to let her win.
Mod Konpaku stared quietly at the empty room, pad full of notes – some true and some made up – held limply in his hand. Then, in his mind, he gushed, OH MY GOSH THAT WAS THE SWEETEST THING I'VE EVER EAVESDROPPED ON!
Kon couldn’t take it. An espada and a human falling in love? What if the human in question was his lovely Orihime!? Then she might decide to stay in Las Noches! No! She wouldn’t be able to survive living among Aizen and his followers! These were the thoughts that frantically ran through Kon’s head. Well, that, and he was a little curious. In any case, upon spotting Yammy, he decided to ask him about it.
“You know that rumor about an espada getting lovey-dovey with a human?”
Yammy “pfft”-ed, then seemed to change his mind. “Actually, I may know something…” He grinned.
“Oh, really? Care to share?” Kon replied.
“And why should I share with a freaky loudmouth monkey toy like you?!”
“Is it Ulquiorra!?”
Yammy laughed. “Why would you say him?”
“.......”
“I mean, why would you assume him just like that?”
“Look, I'm just throwing guesses out, okay!?”
“Have anyone else in mind?”
Embarrased and annoyed, Kon mumbled, “Grimmjow?”
Yammy’s eyes went wide. Like this: O_o “Him?!”
Kon flailed. “I don't know! The person RPing me has been reading too much fanfiction! It's messing me up!”
Yammy chuckled. “Actually, I think it’s Ulquiorra as well…”
“...then why didn't you say so!?”
“Messin' with you.”
“Grrrrrrrrr!” He kicked Yammy.
“Ow, that hurt SO bad…”
“Oh HAHAHA. Such a funny guy.”
Yammy ignored him. “Anyway, why are you guys into our business?”
“I'M interested because what if the human in question is my lovely Orihime!? She's at the mercy of the bad guys (no offense)! GAH! Thinking about some bastard espada's (again no offense) hands on her PISSES ME OFF!” He shouted random, frustrated syllables.
When the doll was done, Yammy said, “From what I hear, no one likes you... so why bother?”
“Psh. I happen to be some fans' favorite character. And Neliel likes me!”
Yammy laughed again. “Nel likes most people… except Nnoitora. But don’t worry, your woman isn’t in the equation, I don’t think anyway…”
Kon gave a relieved sigh. “Wonder who it is, then? Kitabug's human...I think.”
Yammy pondered that. “I think she is too...but she's...whooboy, that's a hard one.”
“Confuzzling. I mean, she's on your side (I think - I don't really pay attention much) so it shouldn't be that big a deal if she gets together with one of the espada, should it?
“You’d think, right?” Yammy said.
“Unless Aizen's afraid she'll give Ulquiorra a heart or something,” Kon replied.
“Hmm.” Yammy thought for a moment.
“That's incredibly corny, huh?" He laughed.
“It’s crazy. I know I’ve heard Ichigo’s trying to sway her to your side, but I don’t know how that’s going…”
Kon stared. “He is!? I wouldn't mind another cute girl on our side,” Kon sighed, “but she’s with emoboy.”
“I doubt Orihime likes Ulquiorra,” Yammy put in helpfully.
“She has a crush on Ichigo,” Kon said, falling into depression. “And Rukia obviously has something going on with Ichigo…damn him.”
“I thought it was Rukia and Renji.”
“Rukia and Abarai?” He shrugged. “Eh, maybe. In any case, I have no one.” Gloomface.
Yammy laughed. “Welcome to the bachelor’s pad.” Kon sighed. “Hey now,” Yammy said, patting the doll’s back. “There’s nothing wrong with being single.”
“I guess…” Kon sighed. Then he perked up a bit and said, “It’s good having a friend like you…”
Yammy chuckled. “I’m not such a bad guy. Most of the time.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After Yammy, Kon left to find Ulquiorra. Because annoying emo people is fun. After much poking and cero blasting and pointless insulting, Kon finally remembered that there was a question he wanted to ask. He had a rather difficult time popping it, though. “Hey.” Ulquiorra ignored him.
“HEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.”
“HEY EMOBOY.” He poked him again.
“What?”
“You have a thing for Kita?”
“No.” This was going to be difficult, wasn’t it?
“Really?”
“…I am positive.”
“Are you positive you’re positive?”
“…garbage. I refuse to repeat myself.”
“Surrrrrrrrrrre you aren’t in denial?”
“Idiot.”
Kon sighed wistfully. “Love is such a beautiful thing, Ulquiorra...one day you'll realize that.”
“Hmm.”
The doll nodded sagely. “I've experienced it myself...But alas, my love is doomed to be unrequited...”
“Hmm.”
“But you...don't let it slip out of your grasp...If you don't act on your feelings before it's too late, you will forever regret it!” Tears streamed from Kon’s eyes. Ulquiorra blinked.
Kon gently placed a rose in his hands. “This flower was to be given to my One True...but alas…” He coughed. “Go, give it to her! Don't wait!!” he cried. Then he disappeared in a cloud of whirling rose petals.
Ulquiorra dropped the rose on the floor. “...trash.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kon appeared back beside Yammy in a cloud of whirling rose petals.
".....”
“He denied it,” Kon said.
“Well did you expect him to be honest about it?”
Kon shrugged, then grinned, hopped on Yammy’s shoulder, and murmured something in his ear on the off-chance that Kita was listening in. Yammy looked disbelieving. Kon grinned and said something else, to which he gave a grin in return that turned into a laugh.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kon reappeared beside Ulquiorra long enough to say: “Just so ya know, midnight is an incredibly romantic time to make confessions and such.” He redisappeared.
“I will be in my domain at that time.”
Rose petals brushed past Ulquiorra on a breeze. "...idiot."
