Nnoitra's eye went wide when he said that name. At the same time, the grin abruptly dropped from his face.
He sat frozen for a moment, staring at him in shock. He tried to work out whether he had actually heard what he thought he had and gauge the likelihood of Kadaj winding him up.
No. He was too quiet and calculating for that. This was serious. His hand clenched into a fist on the table in front of him. Aizen wasn't here. The vast majority of the other Arrancar were out of the Palace. Not only that, but a good number of the resident members of Khamja were also away for their own reasons. There was no better time. Kadaj had been planning this. He'd picked his moment well.
Nnoitra, for the first time since the Midgar mission had been announced, stopped being angry about being left behind.
His teeth became visible again, but it wasn't in amusement this time. He raised one side of his upper lip in a silent snarl as he narrowed his eye back to its characteristic slit.
"Now?" His voice was low. It sounded rougher than usual -- his throat had gone dry. He'd waited so long for this chance and he wasn't about to let it get away from him.
