It was a normal, not to mention, usual boring day in Las Noches. Said place being the home, or as they call it, forced residence of the Espadas created by the new "God" of Las Noches, Aizen. The Espadas were created from hollows by Aizen to fight and conquer the Soul Society and to take over the dimensions. But that is a whole different story. Our story is about a new and unexpected addition to Las Noches. In order to begin we must go back towards the beginning of which the Espadas were first arriving to Las Noches.

"Typical. Just upon arriving, and I am already unentertained."

Spoken by Ulquiorra Cifer. The fourth among the Espadas as he wondered the halls of the large fortress like building of which he and his fellow Espadas were forced to spend their days unless ordered otherwise. As he reached the end of one of the long halls and stared out over the white sands of Las Noches, he released a low sigh as he was about to turn around and head back to the boring, white room that was assigned to him. That is before something caught his eye. His emerald green eyes focused on a spot in the sand that seemed a different shade then the rest. He at first thought maybe the boredom was getting to him before he saw that said spot move. His eyes widened slightly at the sight once he was certain it was moving and slowly began to descend towards that spot.

"What could be out in the middle of the desert?"

He asked himself in his mind as the thing responsible began to come into view. Once close enough, his eyes widened even more once he realized it was a small female. A neko to be more precise. As he stared down at her with his hands in his pockets, she laid unaware of his presence as she seemed to be in a deep sleep. Her breathing was steady and calm as her curled up body shivered slightly from the cold wind and her long, blond, and brown tail swayed in a carefree manner. His green eyes closed for a moment before kneeling down and picking the neko up slowly, cradling the young female close to his body for heat as he turned on his heels to make his way to the fortress building to show his new finding to his Lord Aizen.

"Ulquiorra. I believe you have something to show to me, and you're fellow Espadas."

Ulquiorra entered the room while still cradling the neko as he approached the overly high thrown of which at the top, was Lord Aizen. To whom of which he bowed respectfully.

"Yes Lord Aizen. I have found this young neko female out in the sands."

The words were spoken softly from his lips as if not to disturb the slumbering female as he slowly began to unwrap her from a blanket he had picked up from his chambers before entering the room. Once in the light, he gasped in shock and amazement. He was not able to see her clearly before, and seeing her now he was unable to remove his eyes from her. Very aware of his fellow Espadas gasping in amazement as well as he observed her. Her hair was a light, chocolate brown on one side, with a caramel color in a part of her bangs, and a vanilla blond on the other side of her head. Her eye color was still unknown since they were closed, but she seemed to have white eye shadow with light black eyeliner and long lashes. Her skin was a light, peachy tan with what seemed like a light paw print tattoo on each inner sides of her breasts , and under the light seemed to glow like gold under the desert sun. She was beautiful to him, and from the sounds he was hearing behind him, to his fellow Espadas as well. After staring at the neko for several minutes, he regained his senses and looked up at his creator and straightened his poster before speaking again.

"I have brought her so you could decide what we shall do with her Lord Aizen."

Aizen simply stared with a smile on his lips, while his companion Gin stood with a wide grin and stared down at the neko like she was a new piece of candy for him to snack on, which made Ulquiorra flinch slightly and tightened his hold on her.

"Szayel."

A pink haired espada suddenly appeared beside Ulquiorra at Aizen's command, and tried to stare at his creator instead of the neko beside him.

Szayel: Yes Lord Aizen?

Aizen: Take the female to your lab and examine her. If she is in good enough health, she may be useful.

Szayel: Yes Sir.

With that, the pink haired espada turned to Ulquiorra, who was resistant to let the female from his sight, and held out his arms to allow the smaller espada to hand her over. After a few seconds of resisting, the fourth handed the female gently over to the 8th espada then stared at the ground to await for further instructions as Szayel made his way out of the room to carry out the orders given to him.

"Ulquiorra."

The fourth looked up at his creator slowly and sighed to himself.

"Yes Lord Aizen."

Aizen smiled down at him as he waved his hand to dismiss the other Espadas, so they could talk in private. Once they were all gone, he continued.

"You seemed troubled at my orders to Szayel. May I ask why?"

Ulquiorra looked at him slightly stunned, but tried not to show it as it began to speak in his normally bland tone.

"It's nothing Lord Aizen. We do not know of her abilities or if she Is a threat. So I didn't want her from my sight. But your orders are law. Forgive me."

He bowed slightly before standing again to wait for permission to leave.

"Very well Ulquiorra. You may go now."

"Thank you."

With that, Ulquiorra turned on his heels, and made his way back to his room. Of course the little neko, never left his thoughts.
