Chapter 1

The door floated open by the hands of a silvery haired man. It was no surprise, he always does this for me. I glided into the throne room and stood before my lord. "Hello, Lord Aizen."

"Hello there, Nori." He had that stupid grin on his face as usual. "Your training has taken a turn for the best as of late. That is why I have called you here at this time."

This puzzled me slightly. "What do you mean?"

He chuckled at my reaction. "Exactly what I said. You have become a lot stronger and so therefore I am going to promote you."

My eyes widen in shock. This is not what I expected. Not even close. When I got the message to come see Lord Aizen, I expected to get yelled at because of my previous actions towards some of his Espada or how I "accidentally" killed that fucking annoying girl, Loly. She was always going around, trying to get me in trouble. But now, she's no problem. The dead aren't your problem, after all. Hopefully he won't say anything about any of that and make me face the consequences though. "P-promote me? Really?"

"Yes. Instead of being Arrancar 15, you will now be...Espada 9. I believe that you will be a great tool for me to use in the future this way. You may even get stronger if you keep at it. Your abilities seem to be unlimited."

I stand there, dumbfounded by everything he just told me. The fact that I'm now a fucking Espada is amazing. Also, my lord thinks that I will be of great help.. I quickly snap out of it and blink repeatedly. "Wow...thank you so much, my lord! I will not let you down, I promise! I will continue to serve you and do whatever you tell me."

He nods in approval, smiling, and believing all the crap I tell him. "Very well then. I will see to it that Gin leads you to your new corridors."

I eagerly nod as Gin comes over and takes my arm to lead me away. I gratefully take it and leave the room, glad to be away from the bastard I call "my lord". As soon as Gin and I are far away from the throne room, I let out a sigh of relief.

"I take it you really hate him, then?" He keeps that weird yet cute grin on the entire time.

"I certainly do! Don't you?" My voice bounces around and I'm now my usually well..bouncy happy self.

He coughs then hesitates. "Well why would I, honestly?"

I look up at him with an eyebrow raised. Tousen and him both always say stuff like this. It bothers the fuck out of me. How can they not possibly hate him? I just don't get it. But it doesn't really matter so I shrug it off. "Forget I said anything."

He doesn't reply back but instead suddenly pins me against the wall.

This takes me by complete shock. "W-what the hell are you doing, Gin?!"

Gin moves closer to me, pressing up against my body, not answering me.

"Gin! I have a boyfriend, you know this! He's going to kill you, well try to kill you at least."

He sighs. "Yes I know. But you need to know that you shouldn't be with him. It won't work out, trust me." His voice is dead serious.

"W-what do you mean? What do you mean by 'it won't work out'?"

"It..it just won't. If you knew the truth about him then you would understand."

"Then why don't you tell me this so called truth? Huh?"

He looks down. "I can't. I made a promise not to. I'm really sorry, Nori."

This is beginning to anger me. "Tell me dammit! Or else I'll find out on my own!"

He laughs then kisses me hard, making me blush. It really upsets me that he's doing this and that he won't tell me this "truth" but he's so darn cute that it's hard to stay mad at him. Suddenly I feel fingers on a pressure point and I begin to pass out while wondering about all this and feeling his soft, caressing lips..
