Okay, this is my first story, so go easy on me. I'm not exactly the most talented writer though I take pride in what I (try to) do. Alright, I mainly want Ultrawolfie-sama to read this so if anyone can get a hold of her, I would greatly appreciate it.

"My brothers and sisters of the Espada, please join me in welcoming our newest member, Leon Lanks." Aizen's voice rang out in the meeting hall. " Leon will be taking Halibel's position of 3rd Espada..." Halibel started to look quite angry, "and will be given the now deceased Barragan's position of 2nd Espada." All the Espada clapped for their new member and for Halibel's promotion. Any angry that had previously shown was replaced by a satisfied look of content. Stark actually found this to be quite interesting. Not only had his friend been promoted to second, but someone else had taken her previous position other than lower Espada being promoted.

3 Hours Later

Leon walked around Los Noches to try and map out the castle in his head. He was just randomly opening doors and managed to stumble onto a sleeping Stark, who woke up and congratulated Leon for reaching third. Stark then fell asleep again, only to be woken up when Lilynette drop kicked Stark's throat which caused him to wake up, gasping for air.

Leon hurriedly left and proceeded to walk around. He absent-mindedly rounded a corner and felt his face hit something, causing him to stop. It was quite soft and pressed on both sides of his face. He looked up and saw a beautiful pair of eyes starring down at him. It then hit him where he was at.

"Enjoying yourself?" Halibel's voice sounded. He backed away immediately and blushed. "Halibel-sama! I, uh, didn't see you..." He felt a large amount of reiatsu being released and thought she was doing it with the intent to kill him.

He backed up a step but was stopped when a blade suddenly shot through his chest. He saw Halibel in front of him. She took out he large sword and shifted into a fighting stance when the blade suddenly retreated, causing Leon's chest to splatter blood everywhere. "Dang! Cut from behind." He fell forward and saw Halibel engaged in battle with a Shinigami who wielded a blood-stained sword. Leon felt his vision go blurry and realized he'd lost more blood than he thought. "I hate... surprise... attacks..." He said as he coughed up more blood and passed out.

Well, there you go. I apologize if the chapter is too short, I'm still trying to figure things out in my head. I hope you will review(especially you, Wolfie) and please no flames. I'm new to this so cut me some slack. Hope to get the next chapter up soon.
