"Get up!" Luppi ordered. "I'm not done sparring with you!"

Blood was dripping from the sides of my mouth to the floor. I wasn't looking at my current master after the blow to my cheek, coughing and sputtered up blood on the floor. I was pretty sure one or two of my teeth were in that pool, but could care less. By tomorrow it will have re-grown.

Wiping away the remaining blood with a hand I faced my master, my eyes not giving away any sign of pain or other emotion that could show weakness. There was a sadistic look in Luppi's eyes, one clearly different from the one I could receive from my former master. I hated it.

"Are you done acting pathetic, Vero?"

Luppi played dirty when it came to sparing against me. Unlike the former Espada, who enjoyed a fair fight.

I rolled my eyes in response and he only continued to smirk. "Well, looks like we have a guest. Hey, Aaroniero! How would you like to spar against my Fracción?"

My blood ran cold.

"It would be my pleasure," the Espada answered. I could hear him draw his zanpakuto.

The Ninth Espada has always been after me, but when my former master was around he never thought twice about attacking me. However, now that Luppi was in charge Aaroniero had no problem with pursuing me because Luppi allowed it. In fact, Luppi enjoyed watching me almost get devoured by the Ninth Espada.

I whirled around, just in time to block the attack. Being forced backwards as our blades grinded against each other, sparks were sent flying everywhere. He raised his other hand, creating a cero, right in front of my face. I quickly spiraled my body to the right, avoiding the attack just in time as an explosion rocked the training grounds. Luppi's laugh echoed through the room and I growled in annoyance.

This was not going to be pretty.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

That was yesterday. Today, I am waking up to Luppi pounding on my door. "Get up you worthless Fracción!" he yelled.

"If I'm so worthless why did you insist on me serving you, and why do I always kick your butt in sparing?" I grumbled.

"I heard that!" Luppi yelled, knocking my door off its hinges.

"Jeez," I yawned lazy, sitting up. I wasn't phased by what had just happened. It would sometimes occur if Grimmjow was in a bad mood and wanted a spar partner to work off his steam. "Now look at what you did. I have to fix my door."

"I could care less about your door!" Luppi growled. "Get up, make yourself presentable, and get to the throne room on the double! Aizen wants to see all of the Espada and Fracción."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I hear yah. Yah don't have to yell."

"Just shut up and get ready." And with that Luppi walked out of my room and down the hall.

"I swear he's like a girl PMSing," I grumbled, swigging both legs over the side of the bed.

A chuckle came from the doorway as Grimmjow walked in, my former master. "I've been saying that for years," he said with a sadistic grin.

"Hello, Grimmjow, what brings you here?"

"Making sure that pervert keeps his hands off of my Fracción."

"I'd beat his head in if that happened."

Grimmjow's grin grew wider. "That's my girl."

I rolled my eyes, walking into my closet, and pulled on white kimono pants that tied with a sash, a tank top that cut off just above the stomach, and strapped the zanpakuto to my side. Yawning again I ran a hand through my hair, while walking out of the closet, pulling my hair into a messy bun.

"Jeez, what's made you so tired?" Grimmjow asked from where he was lying on my bed, legs draped over the side. "You getting weak on me?"

"Ah, shut up. Luppi put me through a rough training session the other day."

One I almost did not survive... But I didn't tell him that.

"I know," Grimmjow said, sitting up. He rested his elbow on a knee, looking over at me. "Care to explain?"

"Nothing happened, alright? He just got a lucky punch to my jaw."

"Your clothes were covered in blood."

"No they weren't," I lied.

"Vero, I can see you hiding your clothes in your closet. I also saw the devastation in the training room. And were those teeth on the floor yours?"

Shoot, I had been caught.

Grimmjow hated Luppi enough. The last thing I wanted was my former master trying to take on my new one with only one arm, which would risk loosing the other. The only thing left from the fight against Aaroniero was the bruises and some small scars. Like I had predicted, my teeth grew back over night and the cuts closed up. In a matter of days the scars would disappear.

"Care to explain?" Grimmjow asked in a low voice, meaning he wanted every detail. But I was not going to give him the satisfaction as to have a reason to go off on Luppi.

"Not really," I answered. "It was pretty uneventful."

"There was way too much blood to be uneventful, Vero," Grimmjow's voice became annoyed and angry.

"Whatever, just forget about it, alright? Look, I have to go to the throne room for the meeting before Luppi rips my head off or takes his anger out on one of my walls. I'll see you later."

And with that I left the room.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Grimmjow's P.O.V.

It pissed me off when I walked into my former Fracción's room to find the door kicked in. It pissed my off even more when I saw the bruises and scars on her skin. I knew the one on her cheek was from Luppi because he plays dirty and aims for his opponents face when he knows he is loosing, However, the other ones all over her body was a different story.

I could tell she was lying. The fight wasn't nothing. In fact, I had felt her spiritual pressure rise along with Aaroniero's, which meant he had tried to absorb her body again. I had been stuck in a meeting room where Aizen had been going over some stupid information about the upcoming attack on Karakura Town. I had wanted to rush out to see what was going on because I knew that the Ninth Espada only wanted one thing from Vero: her powers. For years he planned on devouring her whole to obtain it. Like I would let that happen. Vero had to be one of the strongest Fraccións I had ever encountered, and could almost equal me in strength. Against an Espada she could hold her own, but not when she's attacked by two, and one after the other. I'd crush Luppi and Aaroniero's heads before I'd let that happen.

Growling I stood up and made my way to the throne room as well because Aizen had summoned me to attend his 'little' meeting.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vero P.O.V.

I could've cared less when Aizen presented a human before us. So what if she could heal? All of us could do that ourselves if we really wanted to. So, what did I do? Zone out.

That is, until Aizen called Grimmjow forward. I watched as he walked out from the shadows towards the girl. "I want you to heal Grimmjow's arm," Aizen stated.
My eyes widened. Could she do it? Could she bring back his arm?

I was interested now, watching closely as the young girl walked up to Grimmjow and formed a bright yellow orb around the area his arm should be. Luppi was going on some loud rant at Aizen about how impossible it was, and I quickly shut it out, intrigued by the change of events.

Then, Grimmjow's arm started to reform, and I pushed off from the wall I had been leaning against and stood in utter shock, along with all of the other Espadas and Fraccións. Luppi then grew angry, saying that it was impossible. Grimmjow then asked the girl, whose name was Orihime, to heal his back and the tattoo reappeared.
The first thing Grimmjow did with his recovered power was kill Luppi.

He then turned to Aaroniero. "And if I ever see you going after my Fracción again, I won't hesitate to kill you," he growled, making the man step back, a in fear.

Grimmjow turned to walk out of the room, but not without grabbing me by the arm, and pulling me out since I was still in shock. Grimmjow laughed, trying to keep it to a minimum since he was overcome with joy. "Just wait until that Kurosaki boy sees my new power!" he exclaimed. "I'll kill him for sure the next time!"

He was back! My master was back!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was called to bring Orihime dinner because Ulquiorra was busy in a meeting. She said nothing when I entered, and I left without saying a word myself. As I was walking to my room, hoping my door was repaired, I saw Grimmjow walking my way. "How was the meeting?"

"Fucking boring," he answered, running a hand through his messy blue hair. We stopped when the both of us met up. "Where are you going now?"

"To check on my door."

"Well I'm hungry, so come on."

"Alright."

We walked towards the kitchen and found something to eat. "So, how's the arm?"

"Never better," Grimmjow grinned dangerously. "Care to test it out a later in a sparing match?"

"Whatever you want."

"Good."

I sighed and rested my head in the palm of my hand. "Actually, I think I will take a nap before then. I'm still tired from yesterday's match." Grimmjow's smirk disappeared.

"What exactly happened yesterday, Vero?"

"I told you not to worry about it," I answered lazily.

"I order you to tell me." I gave him a glare and his smirk returned. His hand reached under the table and touched my side where my pants were slit, and rested his hand on a bruise I had received. "I'm your master again, so you have to obey me now."
I growled and glared over at the wall. Well... Luppi was dead so I guess it wouldn't hurt to say...

I sighed and began, "Luppi wanted to spar with me and I was winning until he punched me in the cheek with his fist, plus a little bit of added cero. Then he made me fight Aaroniero. I managed to get out of there alive by creating a cero of my own and distracting the Ninth. That gave me an opening and I went to give the final blow, but stopped before cutting off his mask."

Grimmjow removed his hand from my side. "You should've done it," he growled, obviously pissed. "It would've saved a lot of trouble for all of us."

"Well Luppi ordered me to stop and to go back to my room."

"Well you have my permission to crush Aaroniero's head if he tries it again."

"Noted," I answered with a nod and a yawn.

Before I could do or say anything else I fell asleep right there.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Grimmjow's P.O.V.

When I looked over to say something else to Vero I found her asleep, head resting on her arm. I sighed, rolling my eyes. She would not be up to a spar tonight, and I knew that. What the heck, I could give her a break...

So I picked Vero up, putting her on my back and walked towards her room. When I got there I found out that the door still had not been repaired and entered mine instead. Lying her on the bed she curled into a ball and I sat on the edge looking down at her. I ran my fingers over the broken Hollow mask that rested on her head, just above the right eye, covering that section of skin, while a small piece of the mask trailed in a circle around the outer part and ended just before dipping under the lower eyelid.

"Shit..." I grumbled, running a hand through my hair and sighed loudly.

I shouldn't be doing this. It was not professional and it could jeopardize Vero's survival if Aizen knew what I was thinking right now. Just stop it now, damn it.
I growled, before looking down at Vero's sleeping form. "Screw it..." I muttered, pulling the covers over Vero's body and crawled onto the bed on the other side.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vero's P.O.V.

When I woke up it was to someone tracing a finger along my back. My eyes fluttered open and I glanced over a shoulder to see Grimmjow staring back at me. "Hey," I whispered.
"Hey," he answered.

"Sorry, did you want to spar?" I asked, seeing that it was late.

"No, it can wait until tomorrow."

"Okay... Grimmjow, why am I in your room?"

"Because your door wasn't fixed yet and I didn't want Aaroniero to try and attack you in the middle of the night."

"Thank you for your concern," I said turning back the way I had been sleeping. "But I would've been fine."

I felt Grimmjow move behind me till his chest was pressed against my back, his breath caressing my neck. "Well maybe I like having you here."

My eyes snapped open and I turned my head so I could see Grimmjow better. "What does that mean?"

His hand came up, cupped my jaw and turning my body completely over. Without hesitation he kissed me softly. My heart skipped as Grimmjow pulled away before going back in and this time his eyes were closed, the kiss more passionate. I returned the gesture, closing my eyes and wrapping both arms around his neck. Grimmjow repositioned himself so he was hovering over me and kissed harder. I quickly broke for air before going back in for more, tangling my fingers in his hair.

Grimmjow was my master. It wasn't normal to be having these feelings for him. But for my master I would do anything. I would give everything to him, not just because he was my master but because deep down, I loved him.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Grimmjow's P.O.V.

Vero was my Fracción. It wasn't normal to be having these feelings for her. But for Vero I would do anything. I would give everything to her, not just because she was my Fracción, but because deep down, I loved her.

And Vero was perfect. She was always was, and I would never give her up as long as I lived.

She was mine forever...

Forever...
