Who: Szayel and Shika
When: Forward dated to next week, midweek.
Where: The streets of the Port, and then Szayel's private lab.
Summary: Shikamaru grievously insulted Szayel back during Grell's housewarming party. Now it's time for payback, as only a mad genius can do.
Rating: Oh my god, so much R. Can we say mutilation and crushing of genitalia? Read at your own risk.
It was embarrassing to admit, but patience had not been easy for Szayel when it came to this particular prey.
His plans were almost in place. The Quincy had the CODEC unit implanted, and it was going well enough for him to consider the system a success. Now his research on developing cyborg ninjas had developed to the point where he was ready to test their effectiveness with a live specimen. The problem was, Black Mask was in jail, and all of his remaining specimens were... well, unusable. This meant he had to get his own specimen, but fortunately, he knew exactly who to grab.
Now the problem was doing so.
He had been very careful, stalking Shikamaru throughout the weeks prior to Christmas, pausing only on the holy day to take care of his children. Now it was time for him to put his plans in motion. Now was the time that he could not afford to fail.
Szayel was even wearing black and had his hair hooded so he would not be so easily noticed in the darkness of the night as he followed Shikamaru home. This was how serious he was about capturing this boy.
He paused at a corner, crouching down into the darkness of an unlit side street, and waited in the darkness. The streets, naturally, were empty at this time of night. Any second now, Shikamaru would walk past him, on his way to his apartment just ahead...
...but he wasn't going to make it there. Not this time...
