Afire Love (Bleach: Ichiruki)

XXXIX

Mayuri Kurotsuchi

Great. Just great.

What fucking idiot decided to pull on her emotions and get her angry?

Oh, right. All these idiots around me.

Shunsui. Byakuya. Other people I don't care about. Well, I don't care about anyone here.

And of course, Ichigo. The biggest idiot of them all.

"Nemu." I said.

She appeared before Rukia in an instant, injecting my drug to weaken ones emotions into her blood.

I turned my attention to Shunsui.

"Head Captain. We have a problem."

His lips quirked up in response. What the hell? What kind of crazy idiot smiles in response to that?

"I can see that. But what I also can see is Nemu." He said, surprised.

I shot my gaze over to Nemu, who stood over Lieutenant Kuchiki's now unconscious body.

She bowed to Shunsui. "Its nice to be back, Head Captain."

That's it.

"Nemu! Shut up! Only speak when I am talking directly to you!" I snapped.

"And Head Captain you shut up too! Of course you can see Nemu. I brought her back, just like I said I would! I am the most creative and smartest Captain, how dare you act surprised at my skills of-"

Urahara, that bastard, stepped in front of me and cut me off.

"My most sincere apologies for the alarming entrance, and for his bitter tone, I did try to convince Kurotsuchi to make the entrance a bit more smoother. And we all know there is no helping his attitude."

I rolled my eyes.

"I already knew it was him once it started. And its ok! Its a pleasure to have been yelled at by him." I rolled my eyes again. "Ah, so about this problem-"

"The drug I inserted inside Lieutenant Kuchiki doesn't just numb out her pain, it also keeps track of her soul, examining its every movement. A few hours ago I discovered something very interesting about her soul." I spoke, flashing Byakuya a sinister grin. He returned it with a harsh glare that would destroy me on the spot if looks could kill.

"Something seems to have latched itself on to her soul. Like a nasty virus."

"Kurosaki, what else did you release from your soul?" Urahara cut me off, again.

"What are you talking about?"

I rolled my eyes. Idiot.

"You didn't just release Lieutenant Kuchiki's soul. You released something else from it. And like I said, it latched onto her soul.

Any idea exactly what it is you released?" I asked.

He just gave me an annoyed frown. "You accuse me of-"

"Do me a favor, Kurosaki, and release your zanpakuto." I said, cutting him off.

His frown deepened. "My zanpakuto?"

I rose an eyebrow. "What are you, deaf?"

"Why?"

"Kurosaki, I advise you to please do as he says." Urahara said.
