Mistletoe Kisses'08 - 2009 REDUX
As promised the Mistletoe Kisses'08 are back for this Christmas! New chapters will be up starting tomorrow and all throughout next week. Here's a quick recap of what happen so far:
The Christmas party in Hueco Mundo isn't going as Aizen-sama had predicted, his Hollows have no sense of the holiday and it's turning out to be a failure. So he decides to anticipate Soul Society's invasion and crash the Seireitei Christmas party.
Previously:
Chapter 01 [Grimmjow/Ulquiorra] - Grimmjow learns the use of Mistletoe.
«Ulquiorra stood there alone, guarding the throne like a faithful dog watching his master's place, as if afraid one of them would usurp it. Grimmjow didn't like it, all that devotion to an outsider, to someone who used to be an enemy. Then again, maybe the master had some reason to have it guarded, even if he had made them how they were these days.
But he wished Ulquiorra's calm and brooding loyalty was placed on a true King of Hollows, not a self-proclaimed one. But alas, loyal dogs don't bow to feline royalty.»
Chapter 02 [Tousen/Wonderweiss] - Wonderweiss is enthralled by all the pretty lights.
«Across the room, completely unaware of the commotion Grimmjow and Ulquiorra were creating, Wonderweiss contemplated one of the decorated dead trees, the twinkling lights taking a hold on his fascination.
His sounds of excitement changed as the blinking pattern of the lights changed: rapid, happy sighs with the frantic twinkling; small grunts of contentment to the slow paced flashing and a continuous “ahh” when they just shined bright.»
Chapter 03 [Szayel/Several Arrancar] - Szayel cruises the Arrancar X-mas party.
«The turn of the tongue while it slid against his palate and coaxed his tongue into Stark’s mouth; the pull of the lips between lips; the tug of teeth on tender flesh. Szayel was delighted, his body humming with satisfaction of a well studied guinea pig.
They broke apart and the dark-haired Espada arched an eyebrow in question.
“To what do I owe this disturbance?”
Szayel looked up and pointed to the foliage.
“That’s what it’s for. Kissing under.”
“Hmm...stimulating,” Stark replied, licking his lips. “But your brother’s technique is much more to my tastes. Now if you would get off me...”»
Chapter 04 [Aizen/Gin] - Aizen muses about his Arrancar and the Shinigami.
«Aizen Sousuke watched from his throne with mild boredom, as his creations raised havoc throughout the hall.
This Christmas party wasn't going so well.
It irked him that they couldn't understand the simple concept of fraternizing without mayhem and destruction.
Had this been Soul Society, they would be calmly talking and enjoying the sake, eggnog, Christmas-y treats and sweets.
This being Hueco Mundo...»
Chapter 05 [Ikkaku/Keigo] - Keigo gets to know Soul Society by the hand of Ikkaku.
«But since the arrival in town and at the school, of gorgeous Matsumoto-san, tough Hitsugaya-kun, hot-tempered Abarai-san, pretty Ayasegawa-san and burly Madarame-san, it had been almost impossible to ignore what was happening. Having Madarame-san and Ayasegawa-san camp at his house had been the last straw to his self imposed delusions. Keigo had believed.
So when the invitation to the Christmas party in this world - Soul Society - had been made to those of Karakura town who could sense or observe these events, he had thought it over quickly and jumped on the adventure. Well, the fact that most of his classmates where attending had also made it an easy decision. So, leaving Kojima-kun to his broad-filled Hawaiian party, he had embarked on this journey.»
Chapter 06 [Kenpachi/Yumichika] - Kenpachi tries (and succeeds) to distract Yumichika from Ikkaku and Keigo.
«Kenpachi was watching Ayasegawa Yumichika watch Madarame Ikkaku parade around the hall with the little human boy in tow, introducing him to their friends, bringing him drinks, and laughing together.
He noticed Ayasegawa noticed how the boy seemed entranced with Madarame, following his every word, like it was the very air he breathed. Just like Ayasegawa had done for years, up until last week.
Apparently not anymore. Ayasegawa raised his chin and looked away with a jerk of his head, hair and colourful eyelashes swishing proudly. Jealousy and stubbornness crossed his face, as his gaze found particular interest in the sweets table Yachiru had been raiding all night. The bowl of chantilly looked extremely inviting.»
Still to come:
Chapter 07 [Several Pairings] - The Arrancar "invade".
«As the darkness from the passage gave way to the light of the Shinigami world, the band of Arrancar - lead by the Overlords - stepped into their long-awaited goal: SOUL SOCIETY.»
Chapter 08 [Shuuhei/Kira; background Gin/Kira] - The return of the traitor captains stirs emotions.
«They walked into the room, proud and calm, as if they had never left, as if they hadn’t turned their world into chaos, soiling their every belief and faith in their own captains.»
Chapter 09 [Shunsui/Ukitake] - There's an Arrancar that can't seem to take his eyes off of Ukitake. Or is it Shunsui? Or both?
«"There's this one Arrancar that keeps looking your way, Jyuushiro."
"Perhaps he's looking your way, Shunsui."
"Hmm, proly. It could be our way. Wouldn't that be interesting?"
"Indeed. Most interesting."»
Chapter 10 [Byakuya/Hanatarou] - Byakuya performs a good deed.
«On one of the surveying sweeps of the room his eyes passed a small, black-haired Shinigami apparently being ignored near a branch of mistletoe. At first glance, Yamada Hanatarou, seemed to be simply observing the party eagerly, perhaps in search of a soul to kiss or be kissed by under the mentioned foliage, but on a more careful inspection, his face told of an alertness that was unexpected in the small Fourth Division officer.»
Chapter 11 [Byakuya/Renji] - Good deeds get Byakuya in trouble with Renji.
«"With you it's nearly impossible. Everywhere I turn people leer your way. Hanatarou?!" Renji finally asked, a hint of outrage in his voice.
"We were under the mistletoe."»
Chapter 12 [Isshin/Ryuuken] - A bout of possessiveness assaults Ryuuken.
«Ryuuken's examination of the room ended across the table, at his husband. Isshin was cavorting in too close with Urahara, waving his arms wildly while explaining some inane accomplishments. Voice loud and boisterous.»
Omake
«"Is it just me or are all the guys in this room gay?! I mean, look at us! We can't possibly be that bad looking women?!"»
