Tomorrow doesn't Exist | Nnoitra x Nelliel

Chapter 3

Pesche looked around considering his options, as much as he wanted to join his siblings and play without a care in the world this was not the time to relax. He had very little information about the current situation, Lady Nelliel upon hearing that man's reaction didn't set her eyes on anything else, and her time as an adult came to an end too soon.

Summing up the little he could observe the interaction between the two Espada was as volatile as ever no matter how selflessly his Master offered her help, no surprise there. That man's wounds gave them some time to plan but it was impossible to know how much, a confrontation was bound to happen, and there was no guarantee that someone so crazy wouldn't come for them before even healing, they had to move.

"Nel, Dondochakka, we must continue our travels, this time as far as possible from Las Noches, until we lose sight of the palace," he proposed trying to sound enthusiastic.

"We can't do that," Nel replied without taking her eyes off her biggest brother's hand, they were playing, every time she tried to catch his hand he raised it higher, that giant was a cheater but she was going to win. Pesche started to speak in the way Nel understood best, and the least frightening.

"It's a new game! It's like infinite tag but this time the building is the one who captures," It wasn't a lie except for being a "new game", running away and hiding had been their life for twenty years. Nel knew very well the danger of staying close and Pesche didn't understand why she refused to leave.

"The game sounds fun but we'll leave it for later, we have to take him to Las Noches," she said pointing to the Fracción on the ground. Tesla didn't listen to anything they were talking about, his mind was still in turmoil trying to assimilate what was happening and enduring the pain that still did not leave his body, not even the best healing kido could fade damage of that magnitude in an instant, just the memory made him tremble, that reaper was a being straight out of a nightmare.

Even for someone like his Master recovering from something like this would be...no, he couldn't dare to doubt in the slightest, no one was stronger than him. The others' conversation finally reached his ears, which surprised him considering the noisy voices of everyone in that group.

"We don't have time Nel, he was healed by the Soul Reapers, he'll be fine," The girl's expression changed as soon as she heard him, a combination of anger and sadness, she was disappointed in her brother.

"He just got healed, he can't move, if he stays here someone could eat him," The Arrancar remained silent, he couldn't deny that was a possibility, but he didn't want to convince her by mentioning that man, that would make her curious about the subject, the last thing she needed was to think about him.

"Nel was helped by many, she can't leave someone hurt behind!" Pesche sighed resignedly as he saw his reflection in the girl's teary eyes, with that he knew there was nothing to discuss.

Pesche never saw Tesla up close but he recognized him, the Arrancar who started following Nnoitra years ago, if he is still here it can only mean he has become his Fracción, nothing good can be expected from someone who decides to swear his loyalty to a being like the Octavo, he didn't know to what extent he took part but the fact that he tried to harm Lady Nelliel before he and Dondochakka arrived was beyond doubt. But for now he had to leave all that in the past, the little girl in front of him was his Master, that would never change, and having a cloudy memory didn't change her heart, he knew better than anyone that she'd want to help without thinking about risks or if that person deserve it.

He wouldn't dare to look her in the eyes again if he didn't do the right thing, he'd just received a direct order "You win!" Pesche declared in defeat placing a hand to his forehead.
