A teenage looking girl sat upon the desert inside Los Noches looking at the never ending sky. She had short white shorts and a white tank top with a few specks of black and splotches of blood from her earlier battle on. Her eyes were once full of joy and excitement but that changed when she realized that she was fighting for the wrong side. They changed to a painful sad look that would make most want to cry. They were a bright blue but now they were quite dull.

She had short bobbed cut hair that was pure white. Her hollow hole was on her left hand underneath the black gloves she picked up from the human world. On her right wrist her name was tattooed. She was born with it there but still did not understand why. On her wrist it said Etsuko Mori.

Standing up Etsuko brushed off her clothes before turning to the giant building a little ways away. There was a meeting that was going to start in a little bit and her master would be angry if she was late. Her master was Espada number four Ulquiorra Cifer. He may seem emotionless all the time but he would kill anyone if they irritated him, didn't do what they were told or was just lesser of him.

Etsuko sprinted to the building and raced through the halls towards the source of Ulquiorra's spiritual pressure. She had almost reached Ulquiorra and she felt her body start to fall. In an instant she tried to regain her balance only to realize her legs weren't moving and had become gelatin like. Her arms soon followed and she saw the ground getting closer. Out of the corner of her eye she saw her master and Grimmjow watching her fall. Both wore confused expressions and just stood and watched her fall.

She hit the ground with a thud and then she tried to get up. Her arms wouldn't respond and neither would her legs. Two pairs of feet stepped into her line of vision. She looked up and saw the two from earlier. "Get up trash."

It was a cold tone that he always spoke to her in. she struggled and finally made it to her feet shaking. The two started walking towards the room a few feet away and she struggled to keep up. 'What is wrong with my body?' she thought. She entered the room and went to stand behind Ulquiorra silently.

Half way through the meeting she felt her body shaking uncontrollably and knew that she probably wouldn't make it through the meeting without causing a scene. "Etsuko, please come here."

His voice scared her and she felt so small as everyone turned towards her. Etsuko nodded and walked towards Aizen. She struggled to move one foot in front of the other and it took quite a long time for her to make it there.

"Hm, it seems something is wrong with you today. Do you want to know what it is Etsuko?" she heard the evilness inside his tone and wanted to say no but for her master she said yes.

"It seems your body is fighting itself on what to do. Your heart tells you this is wrong yet your mind won't disobey your master. The reason your mind is fighting is because you are connected to Ulquiorra." Gasps filled the air and many confused glances faced Aizen. Ulquiorra just looked at him and nodded. "An emotional bond connects you two and it was a decision I stand by. Making you obey him forever was the choice that made this possible. You are a key to this operation and by key I mean trap."

Aizen grinned and looked at the rest of the people in the room. "She is going to be sent out to be a spy for us in the town below. And what better way then to make her be able to tell Ulquiorra what she finds by her thoughts and since she is connected everything is heard by him. But the best part is, is that she wants to be on their side but cannot because Ulquiorra holds her sanity. If the connection between them is broken Ulquiorra won't be harmed but Etsuko darling will lose her mind and probably die."

For the first time Etsuko spoke directly towards Aizen with hatred in her voice. "You bastard!"

It was silent inside the room until Etsuko screamed. Aizen smiled and looked at Ulquiorra. "As you may have just realized is that Ulquiorra can put pressure on the bond and make you feel pain at any moment. So I would be obedient. I guess you can lift the pressure from earlier now."

All at once Etsuko felt the pressure and fatigue from her body vanish. She collapsed straight to the ground and was rendered unconscious.

"Hm, I guess it was too much for her body to handle. Ulquiorra take your room and give her the details when she rises." Aizen ordered. "Dismissed."

Everyone exited the room; Ulquiorra was the last to leave but stopped when he heard a voice. "Don't let her go. It will rip your heart open." he responded to the voice quietly, "I don't contain a heart. She is going."

Little did he know, that Etsuko let tears slip down her face in pain from what she heard. Ulquiorra placed her on the bed and wiped the few tears she shed off her face and looked at the liquid in question. He wiped it on his pants and looked down at the girl. Even though he was emotionless he felt a connection with her and when she fell to the ground he had a surge of pain go through his chest. He doesn't know what it was but he intended to find out.
