Yin Yang: We are the one and the same

I. The split

Aizen stood there, along with his generals and the Espada in his throne room, amazed of the outcome of bringing in a new comrade. But it wasn't like the normal ones that had come before this one, no, it was different. Not one but two Arrancars were standing in the circle that surrounded them, both fully dressed.

The shorter one of the two wore a skirt that was short on one side and gradually got longer, stopping at her ankle. Her shirt was that of a Lolita, frills were at the end of the shirt, sleeves, and around the shoulders. A ribbon lay restfully near the collar of the shirt. Both the skirt and shirt were an elegant blue that seemed like they were from the depths of the ocean. The girl was holding a little doll that was wearing a Lolita styled dress in her arms. Her hair made look like a boy since it had long side bangs that were a little above her shoulders and it was short in the back. Her expression looked like she was a lifeless doll that had no emotion. Her eyes were a soft sky blue that looked like windows to the outside world.

The taller one of the two was the exact opposite of the shorter one. He wore black long sleeve shirt with a red waist coat and shorts. He looked like a school boy. His hair was the same as the shorter one and so was the expression but his was rougher. His eyes were a sharp red as if he was daring someone to tick him off.

The only thing that can be found common between the two, other than there hair, was where the remains of their former hollow selves were located. On the left side of their face, they were small enough to be easily mistaken for tattoos in the world of the living. The shorter one had hers resembling that of the yin sign while the taller one had his resembling the yang sign.

"Welcome, new comrades. Mind telling us your names?" Aizen spoke to break the silence that surrounded them.

At first, neither one of the two new Arrancars spoke, they were busy looking around the area to make sure no one would try and attack them. But then one of them spoke; it was the shorter one of the two.

"Youji Akuma." She said, her voice was soft yet sweet and fragile that the very air could break it with a touch.

Aizen nodded his head at her then turned his gaze at the taller one. "And you?" he said.

The taller one glared at him for a moment or two before speaking, "Yo Akuma."

"Both Akumas? You two wouldn't happen to be siblings, would you?" Gin commented.

Yo got ticked off. "Like hell! I wouldn't be caught dead being that weak little thing's brother! Just look at her! Give her the slightest command and she would follow it to the letter! Do you think I would want to be with a person that needs to be ordered around and has to have someone fight her fights! It was bad enough being in the same being as her when we were living, but you're mistaking us for siblings? No way in hell!"

Youji looked at Yo with a looked that made her soft eyes dull and hard.

"Yo, without me, you would be dead right now and not here. Now which is better, having me with you? Or being dead? Your choice." Youji said, her tone was dark and serious with a hint of softness.

Yo got even more ticked off, he turned and looked at Youji in the eye. "Don't talk to me like you're more superior then me! I still hold top rank between us! So don't forget!" he yelled.

Youji just stared at him for a moment before she disappeared and reappeared punching Yo in the stomach. Yo coughed up blood before speaking.

"Damn goodie two shoes." And with that he fainted.

Youji put Yo under her arm before looking towards Aizen.

"Forgive me, but that's the only way of claming my other half. He should be fine within a couple of hours. I will notify him of anything that he should be aware of when he awakes." Youji said, her sweet and fragile tone returning.

Aizen smiled and said, "I thank you for apologizing about the incident that just happened. Now onto assigning you to your Fraccion master that you and Yo will serve under."

Aizen looked around at his Espada to see which one would be assigned to 'take care' of Youji and Yo.

"Ah, yes. These two would be prefect with you, Ulquiorra." Aizen said as he looked at his most loyal Espada, Ulquiorra Schiffer.
