Chapter 1: The Mission
Ulquiorra Schiffer, the Fourth Espada was walking towards the meeting room after giving the prisoner, Orihime Inoue, her food for the evening. Arriving accordingly on time, Ulquiorra went to his seat and waited for the other Espadas to get there. Waiting for a few minutes Tres Espada Tia Harribel and Primera Espada Starrk Coyote, who was carrying a pillow under his arm; arrived. With respect, Ulquiorra nodded at them and closed his eyes. Some more minutes passed when the rest of the Espadas came streaming in. Grimmjow flopped down on his seat and groaned.
"What is so important for Aizen to interrupt me from my revenge on that substitute soul reaper?" Grimmjow complained.
"Well, to answer your question, my dear Sexta," Aizen smoothly announced while walking down the steps, "Is that the Hogyoku is still in its dormant state." There were some exasperated groans in the room.
"But that doesn't mean that I didn't have a backup plan if this had occurred," Aizen said. Grimmjow huffed and diverted his eyes to somewhere else.
"Trash," Ulquiorra thought. Still, with his eyes closed, he thought of Orihime and her role in this war. Going through every scenario, Ulquiorra went back to the first reason why she was in Hueco Mundo to protect her friends and to prove that she was strong and not a burden to them or others. But to Ulquiorra, it seems a bit farfetched reason to come to the world of the dead just to prove a point.
"Dismissed and Ulquiorra can you please stay behind. Grimmjow go get Orihime and bring her here," Aizen ordered. Grimmjow humphed and went to do what ordered for him to do. Ulquiorra remained seated and waited along Aizen-sama for the Onna to appear. Grimmjow came back with Orihime over his shoulder.
"I bought you the package as you ordered," seethed Grimmjow.
"Thank you Grimmjow, you may put her down now," Aizen ordered with his signature smile. Grimmjow unceremoniously dropped her on the ground and left without hearing her say "ouch." Ulquiorra silently watched his prisoner rub her behind soothingly to get rid of the pain that the floor had given her. Orihime stood up and looked over at Aizen and Ulquiorra wondering what was happening and why was she needed. Aizen motioned Orihime to sit right next to him, and she followed his silent order. She sat down and nervously waited for whatever was waiting for her.
"I have called you here to give you both a mission that I see is beneficial," Aizen announced. He had waited a bit before he continued, "I want you both to create a family." It was quiet, and Aizen glanced over to Ulquiorra to see nothing then he glanced over to Orihime to see disbelief and fear. Aizen smiled, excused himself and left the two alone without it being said, "Your mission will start in a week so I would prepare if I were you two."
