What happened?
I asked myself this over and over again, trying to comprehend what my eyes saw and my body felt.
I had saved Rukia from her execution and had Renji bring her away while I fought her brother Byakuya.
When I was leaving the hill with Inoue, Chad and Ishida, someone told us, via speakers I believe, that there was a treachery and than I felt Rukias reiatsu back on the hill.
I rushed back just in time to save both Rukia and Renji.
Renji fought together with me than, he used his Higa Zekkou making an opening for me to attack.
But.
Somehow, it failed.
My sword got stopped by a single finger and with one move of it I almost was cut in half.
The man, named Aizen walked toward Rukia and pulled her up from the ground by the collar she wore.
I tried to get up and calm my breathing, when I heard Aizen tell me in his silky voice.
"Poor thing. Your will to live and your current strength has become your Achilles heel."
He looked back at Rukia and used some device and pierced her chest with his hand.
First I didn't see what he got out of her body, I was to fixated on Rukia herself and happy when I saw that she was fine, somehow, after this attack.
Aizen turned towards me and slowly walked his way over to me again, with his sword in his right hand. I would have vowed that death was approaching me with every of his steps.
'Don't move. Don't struggle. If he's going to kill me, let it be quick.'
One part of my mind thought while an other screamed.
'I don't want to die! I want to beat him, he's dangerous for everyone.'
"I could help you with your problem."
He looked at me with his nut-brown eyes, utterly calm, like it was just normal to throw his dying enemy a rope of hope in the last moment.
I panted, my lungs burned, I felt like they were to small to take in the amount of air I needed.
'Oh, well, or I just haven't enough blood to transport it anymore.'
I thought sarcastically.
He stood right in front of me now, looking down onto my beat form.
I saw a small jewel in his left hand and wondered why he thought of it that important.
"Do you want to get stronger?"
His question left me utterly confused.
Why did he ask me this, now, wasn't he going to finish me off?
I took in a shaky breath and forced my head to lift to meet his gaze.
My mind ran as fast as it could, rethinking options he just offered me.
If I would get stronger, I could beat him.
I just needed to survive this.
"Take my hand and I will show you the way."
I could use him and turn against him, once I achieved enough power.
I would need to turn my back to everyone I cherished, I guessed, but it would be for their well being, wouldn't it?
Just when I brought my arm to reach for the hand stretched out to me, Yorouichi and some Shinigami appeared and captured Aizen and his helpers.
It wasn't for long though, some strange light engulfed the men and they released them, jumping back.
I grabbed one of Aizens arms like a lifeline and pulled myself onto my knees.
Than we got heaved into the air by the light, with the ground under our feet serving as an isle to float onto.
I heard Aizen say something about standing in the heaven, before I passed out.
The next time I was conscious, I rested on a sandy ground, one of Aizens helpers sitting next to me and watching me.
It was the fox-faced one, called Gin.
I couldn't put his smile right.
Was he happy to see me awake or did he always smile, just like I always frowned?
"How are ya feelin'?"
"Does, feeling like hit by a train, sound good to you?"
I answered with a hoarse voice.
"Ya sure are strange, boy. Ya must have felt very safe ta just pass out, back than."
"Talking about strange. What is this place?"
I asked Gin as I slowly sat up.
Someone had healed my wound and I wondered who it had been.
"This place is called Hueco Mundo and it's the world where the Hollows live."
I heard the silky voice of Aizen tell me, from behind my back.
I turned around with a questioning look and I think he guessed what I thought, because he said right what I wanted to know.
"We will make this place ours and prepare everything regarding my plans."
I closed my eyes, ruffled my hair and deepened my scowl.
"Fine. So what will be my role in this? I mean you won't just give me power without anything in exchange, right?"
I caught his smile as he answered.
"You will do me some favors, for the power I will give you."
Push it on the hormones, but as he said this my teenage mind just went on a rampage.
A really perverted one.
I did well to hide it from the others and got to my feet, noticing that my Bankai had faded and Zangetsu lay beside me waiting to get picked up.
I took it and placed it on my back.
"So, what do we do now?"
I asked the brunette in real curiosity.
"We will meet with the King of this place."
Said.
Done.
All four of us invaded the place that the Hollows called Las Noches.
There were a lot of those, one standing out very much.
It was just a skeleton in a coat with a crown on its skull.
The so called King of Hueco Mundo.
Aizen had planned to knuckle him under and he did.
He tricked the Hollows with his Zanpakutous power and we beat one after an other, before he deprived their king of his power.
Aizen build a fortress where only had been a throne and a bell before.
It was the new Las Noches.
Somewhere in it he his the Hogyoku and worked to activate it.
I only saw him when he came to teach me, either fighting or knowledge he deemed useful.
Some of this knowledge were the different types of Hollow that existed and how they were born.
To say it short, Hollows were cannibals, that grew stronger by eating their own brethren.
Sick right?
Well, so when I knew the different types of Hollows, Aizen send me out once in a time to capture Adjuchas or if possible Vasto Lorde .
First I didn't understand why, until I saw the first of his creations, that wasn't a failure.
It's mask was almost gone and it regained a human shape.
The hole in its body stayed, but that didn't matter.
Aizen created many of them and gave them numbers in order of their birth.
He called them Arrancar and the ten strongest were the Espada.
Those tens numbers, were the ranking of their strength.
The lower the number, the stronger the Espada.
They got their numbers tattooed on their body.
Two of them caught my eye and were opposing like day and night.
It were the fourth and sixth Espada.
Last mentioned tried to mock me into fights, every time I said something he didn't like.
The fourth, Ulquiorra, instead was as emotional as a doll, but smart and well at observing things.
So he was the only one of the Espada who could see through the mask of calmness that Aizen put up.
I used this for my benefit and asked him to tell me how I could notice if Aizen was angry, curious, bored and so on.
I think it helped me to see through the man, quite a bit and what I saw wasn't always what I had expected to see.
In Hueco Mundo it was hard to tell time, hell I didn't even know if the time flow was the same as in Soul Society or the living world.
Despite that, thing turned out bad for me.
I didn't know what was happening, the only thing I knew was, that the thing that had taken over in my fight with Byakuya had gotten strong enough to break free again and take control.
I guess I was about to turn in to a Hollow, because I stayed so long in Hueco Mundo with this thing residing inside me.
But Aizen somehow saved me from that, and helped me to fight my inner demon.
He told me he used the Hogyoku and gave me the power to control my Hollow self.
It made me able to put on a Hollows mask and use the strength of my Hollow and push my own to two or three times of its basic strength.
After I achieved this power, Aizen seemed to think it was a good idea to change our fashion.
We all got our personal uniform , like the Arrancar.
Mine looked like my Bankai Shihakusho, just in different colors.
The upper layer was plain white and the layer below had a red as crimson as blood.
Also where my mantle had a frayed hem it was cut even.
After I had undergone a Hollowfication, Aizen used more time to spend with me.
I found myself to often talk about random things with him.
He would tell me things I never would have guessed, so that he was a kid from Rukongai and he lived together with others like him, who felt hunger even if they were just souls.
That he got tread as an outsider because he was stronger than all of them and he watched most of them pass away.
It didn't change when he entered the Shinigami academy, his powers still were superior to the others, but he learned to only care about himself.
The things he got taught and that he taught himself, let him loose his faith in the world like it was.
He wished to change the world and from that wish things begun.
Now his goal was just in front of him.
It wouldn't take long until he would finally hold it in his hands.
Aizen also knew something about my family, that he told me.
I was half human and half Shinigami, my dad being a Shinigami who lost his powers.
First I didn't want to believe it, but than I thought over it and, well everything is possible, right?
Sometimes things don#t work out as planned, even on my side.
I myself didn't notice the changes, but Ulquiorra did and he pushed me into it, face first.
One day he came to me after a meeting, wanting to talk with me.
"Kurosaki-sama, I want to talk honestly with you."
"Don't hesitate."
I looked into his emotionless green eyes as he said following.
"You don't fit in the group around Aizen-sama. I deem you joined them for your own reasons and I really don't care what they are, but whatever they are they seem to slip through your fingers."
I stopped my walk forcing Ulquiorra to do the same, a few steps ahead of me.
"What do you mean by that?"
He turned around to me and I swear I saw a hint of shock in his eyes.
Why it would be there, I didn't know.
"The look you give Aizen-sama changed in the past time. I don't understand it but I only can compare it to the hunger for souls we Hollow have. Yes, it looks like you hunger for something Aizen-sama could give you."
I closed my eyes and sighed.
"You are talking nonsense, Ulquiorra."
He apologized and left me going alone to my room.
Me hungering for something Aizen could give me?
Never in a billion years!
That was I told myself as I gave in in the same time.
Ok, I came to like Aizen a bit, but I also liked some Espada and Gin.
Tousen, well, he was ok, somehow.
So what?
Know your enemy like you know your friend and you will find their weak spot.
That was what I been sure of and what I hammered into my head, so I wouldn't forget my goal.
Just somehow Ulquiorra seemed to be right at least little bit.
It seemed like I grew a bit to fond of the brunette, if the strange dreams I had, were any indication.
Also I felt my heart racing, sometimes when Aizen got really close to me.
I tried to blind it out.
He was the enemy and only me could beat him, when the time came.
But did this really have to happen?
He would harm the worlds if I wouldn't.
And if I could convince him to get to his goal otherwise?
He was a male like me.
Right, so what?
My thoughts went back and forth like this all day and made me forget my surroundings, which was a big fault when I hung out with Gin once.
"Ichigo. I'd like to know why ya took Aizen-sans offer back than."
"Huh?"
Just now the fox-face, stopped my train of thoughts.
I didn't get what he said, so I just looked dumbfounded at him.
I guess he would have rolled his eyes, if they weren't closed most of the time.
"Ah~a. I might not know why ya came with us, but I can see when someone has fallen in love."
"What?"
"Ya love, Aizen-san."
I felt my face heat up and guessed I wore a deep blush.
"Why...Why should I love him? We are both guys!"
"Don't try to fool aroun'."
"That...Such...It just...shouldn't be."
"Why not?"
"Its...not like I planned it."
