I can't Believe It!

I sighed once I finally reached where Stark and I were, but I didn't see Stark. I looked around frantically, trying to sense his reiatsu, but nothing came up. I fell to my knees, fighting the tears until I finally felt it. It was a light pulse, but it was there. I smiled a bit, brushing away some of the sand before realizing he was really in there. I groaned and began digging a bit til I found him, asleep. I felt a vein pop in my head and I got up and lifted my foot before stepping on his face. He jolted up with a start, coming out of the sand with a jump. I laughed, holding my gut and doubling over while he just rubbed his nose again like he always did.

"Again… Why must you hurt me?" He said, sounding a bit nasally as he held his nose.

"It… gets… you… up… Doesn't… it?" I said, gasping for breath at how he sounded. Soon after a while, he just smiled softly before getting alert, picking me up and examining me.

"They didn't hurt you, did they!?" He said, his voice actually holding worry and concern. I shook my head and he seemed to relax a bit before holding me to himself.

"The Vastro King claims to be my father, though… I asked what he did with you, he told me he left you here, and that's when I wasn't going to stay there… He told me I needed to, and wasn't allowed to leave until I became a Vastro myself, but I escaped… We should go to Los Noches before they come and find me…" I said, and Stark looked at me with wide eyes before nodding, picking me up and sindouing us back to base.

I sighed when we finally got back, feeling safe for some odd reason. We went to Aizen-sama's room and I knocked on his door. Once we got the 'ok' to come in, I walked in first, Stark behind me, hands in his pockets and lazy as usual. I bowed, making Stark do the same before speaking.

"I'm terribly sorry, Aizen-sama, but we were not capable of getting any gillian recruited." He seemed amused by my words, but he didn't hold his hand up for the punishment sentence.

"Vastros came to you… Kidnapped you, and left Stark for gillian food… Correct?" He asked, knowing it was true.

"Yes, sir…" I said, bowing again.

"Very interesting… I will forgive you on not recruiting, you two may go… I will send Halibel to seek out some Vastros for now…" He dismissed us and I dragged Stark out of the room. Once we reached the safety and privacy of his tower, I relaxed.

"Why was he so cool about it?" I said, pacing Stark's room as he laid down on some pillows, watching me with an amused smile.

"Who knows, just be happy you weren't punished…" He said, yawning with a stretch. I stopped and put my hands on my hips.

"Me!?" I yelled, and he winced before nodding, looking at my stature before getting up and walking to me.

"You know, you look absolutely adorable like that…" He whispered in my ear before his hands went to my hair, lacing his fingers through it. "This new look especially, suits you…" He kissed the side of my helmet before going back to his pile of pillows, leaving me a blushing mess in the middle of the room. Before I could retaliate, Lilinette came bursting in, completely pissed off and ran up to Stark, kicking him in the gut.

"I heard!! You weren't capable of recruiting a few gillian! What the fuck is the matter with you!!?" She screamed and I sighed, walking up to her and lifting her up so she could stop her assault. "HEY!! Put me down!! Put me down now!!" She demanded, and I shook my head, glaring up at her. She gulped and shut up.

"Now, calm down and go annoy Grimmjow…" I said, and she looked at me shocked before pouting angrily, muttering to herself, but nodding. I sighed and put her down, and she left, slamming the door behind her.

"Kids…" I heard Stark groan out before he plopped back down on his pillows. I glared at him before sitting down on the floor, looking around at the blank walls and furniture, sighing in defeat. "What's wrong?" I heard him ask. I started and looked at him, his eyes closed, his hands behind his head, completely relaxed.

"Oh! Nothing… Just… It's stupid…" I said, huffing a soft yet dry laugh.

"Doesn't seem like nothing…" He said, and I growled at him questioning me.

"It is… Me being stupid is all…" I finished.

"You are plenty things, my bat queen, but stupid is not one of them.." He drowsed out lazily, making me smile.

"Go to sleep, thickhead…" I said with a soft voice, making him laugh airily.

"Me? A thickhead? Never…" He said before I heard his soft snores. After awhile I got bored with sitting on his floor and walked up to him, laying on his pillows beside him and wrapping my arms around him, him doing the same in his sleep, making me smile.

"Night, Prima…" I whispered before dozing off.
