Chapter 9

Nelliel walked around me curiously, looking me up and down and even poking. I raised a brow at this and wondered what she was doing.

"Nell?" She stopped and curiously looked up from what she was doing. "What are you doing?"

Nelliel furrows her brow in thought as she keeps looking around me. "I'm trying to figure out who you are! But I can't seem to remember who you are!" She got right in my face and looked intensely into my eyes. "Why don't I know you, but you know me?!" Nelliel exclaimed loudly.

I couldn't help but cover my mouth as I snorted into it as I hold back a laugh. This got Nelliel to pout cutely. "This isn't a laughing matter, this is serious!" She waved her arms around dramatically.

"I'd tell you but who knows how'd you might handle it." I then pointed a thumb back towards Harribel. "She didn't take well when I told her, so I'll just hold off on it. For now, since we're here you might as well pick out some clothes." I waved a hand around the vast amounts of clothes in the store.

—————————————————————

Once the two picked out some clothes I left a note for the store saying that I'll pay them back for the clothes that I took and left my name on and number just in case they needed to get a hold of me.

I then made a quick phone call to someone and told the other person on the line that everything is all clear. Once that was done we went back to my place. On our way back I can see Harribel and Nelliel chatting happily with one another. Just by looking at the way they talked I can tell they were happy to see each other. This brought a smile to my face knowing they were happy. I looked back forward just as Harribel decided to turn my way.

She flew right beside me and looked at me curiously. "What are you smiling about?"

"Well, it's nice seeing other people happy, so it got me happy knowing you two are happy." Harribel flew closer to me as we were shoulder to shoulder.

"I could be a lot happier if you become mine" she whispered into my ear, even giving it a light lick. I pushed her away playfully as I wiped my ear. This got her to giggle which got Nelliel to join in.

"Maybe someday, but I can't promise you anything."

This got Harribel to smile brightly. She nodded her head and flew closely to me all the way home.

We got to my house and told Harribel to get changed into some workout clothes so we could start some training. Harribel did as she was told and went into my room to get changed.

"Training? What does she have to do training for when she's already powerful?" Nelliel asked.

I shrugged my shoulders in response. "She just wants to learn about boxing I guess."

"Boxing?" Green haired Arrancar quizzically repeated with a cute head tilt.

"It's a hand-to-hand combat sport. Do you want train with us?"

She shakes her head politely. "No, I think I'm ok. Thank you for offering though." After that, she turns herself into a kid size version of herself. I'm not surprised one bit from this since I already she can do that.

"Nell would be happy just to watch and cheer you two on!" She happily says with a smile.

I bend down, pick her up and place on my shoulders. "It'd be better to cheer Harley on cause she's going to need it more than me."

"Hmm, why do you say that?" She asks as she pats my head and plays with my hair.

"Remember she told you that I'm a lot stronger than both of you?"

"Nel, remembers."

"She isn't lying. I can easily overpower her without breaking a sweat, or even using my hollowification or Bankai." I stated casually.

"But you fell face first into the floor when Nell hit you" she giggled.

"And remember I easily got up like nothing happened." I tilted my head back up to give her slight smirk.

She pouts. "Yeah, Nell remembers, but Nell has to see it to believe it!"

"Say less."

—————————————————————

As soon as Harribel steps out the room I signal her and Nelliel to follow me outside towards the beach. We walk for far out so we are nowhere near any beach houses, or anything that might be caught in our sparring.

"Alright! Harley, I want you to go all out and power up to the max."

Harribel nods her head and goes into her Resurrección which sends a powerful shock wave of spiritual pressure. She stays how she is without any of the hollowification forming around her, which I thought was pretty boring. She looked pretty damn badass when she's in her released form.

I make a quick phone call so I don't get any interruptions from anyone. Once that's done I a black and red flame forms around my arms and face. I lazily swipe it away after, revealing a hollow mask and hollowified arms. But, it wasn't the same when I showed Harribel in our first in encounter. My mask was more dragon like, but still held a human skeletal structure. My mask had horns jutting from the top sides of my head and the teeth of my mask were more jagged and sharper looking. Also, the white of my eyes were still black but the color of my eyes were now icy blue instead of bright sickly yellow.

This got a wide eyed look from the two female Arrancar's. Harribel looked at me with mixed emotions ranging from fear to excitement. Nelliel seemed to be in the same state, she seemed to be acting a little weird. Her face was flushed red and her body was trembling for unknown reasons. The only thing I could think of was that my spiritual pressure was really coming down on her hard.
