What is a heart?
Chapter 1
She was terrified. Her body shacking uncontrollably as she looked to the only window in the room. The silver light of the moon shown brightly threw the bars causing them to shine eerily. She held close to her heart the hand she had last touched with her dearest Kurosaki. The room was silent. Such deafening silence that would drive any sane person insane!
She had to hold it together. She had to be strong. Her friends lives depended on it. This was the reason she agreed to go with him. The reason she as in this frightening place far beyond that of the world she had known. Far from her beloved.
When she heard the foot steps out side her door, her heart began to race. He had come back, just as he had promised her he would. She summoned all her strength and walked to the silver moonlight and looked at the moon. The door creeked open as the footsteps drew closer to her. Then without warning the silence had returned. Nothing, not a single sound could be heard. Sweat ran down her face and to her neck.
"Woman," The sudden brake in the silence had caused her to jump in her own skin. "Lord Aizen has summoned you."
She turned to look at him. She stood no taller then his neck. His black and white uniform showed through the darkness. The hair that hung only neck length was black as that of a raven's feathers. On the left side of his head was a large helmet. It had four layers and a large sort of wing coming from the middle of it. His emerald green eyes shined brightly almost giving his face some expression though it bore none. Lines came from his eyes and ran to the bottom of his face. Trails for the tears he would never shed, that is, if he had any such emotion. This gave him a Melancholia appearance. Yet, what drew her attention most though she tried not to look at it directly was the large hole in his neck. It was common among his race to have them. She was told that it was a symbol of the soul that they lacked.
He took a step to the side. "In front of me woman." He said. She nodded and started to walk to the door. She heard his footsteps behind her. She swallowed hard and continued to walk to the hall just outside her door. Left or right? The way was unknown to her.
"Woman, why have you stopped?" he asked in his usual calm voice.
"I-I do not know the way, Ulquiorra-sama." She managed to choke out.
"I nearly forgotten, here in Hueco Mundo you have little powers." He sighed at this. "Very well, I shall lead the way." He said as he walked out into the hall and turned left.
She fallowed him silently, trying to make her self unnoticeable. She looked down at her feet as she walked. She thought of her friends. She had saved them. By coming to this place without a fight she had allowed them to live. She couldn't help but smile at this. They were safe. This was all that mattered to her now.
She looked back up. Ulquiorra had disappeared. There were three ways he could have gone. She became scared. What if he thought she was trying to escape? What if he killed one of her friends because of this? This thought scared her. With this thought in her mind, she ran to her right. She had to find him. She had to explain she wasn't trying to escape! She ran faster. She should have caught up with him by now. A head, she saw the white of a uniform. She became relived. She slowed her pace down and smiled. She was able to catch up to him.
She looked up and into the face of someone she knew was far from Ulquiorra. She fell back in fear, refusing to take her eyes off of him. He was far taller then her and even that of Ulquiorra. His hair was long and black. His long eye seemed to cut deeply into her. A white patch of cloth covering is left eye. His uniform exposed his chest and a large collar seemed to give n a sort of halo around his head. His smile was large and crooked; this is what truly frightened her.
"You've seemed to have wandered off little pet-sama." He said in an eerie voice.
"I-I didn't mean to, I-I must get to…"
He cut her off. "I don't sense your babysitter around."
"I-I went the wrong way, Espada-sama." She said trying to hide the fear she felt of him.
"Please, call me Nnoitra, my dear pet-sama." He said as he extended his hand to her.
"T-Thank you." She said as she allowed him to help her.
"Are you hurt?" he asked as he looked her up and down to be sure.
She held her arms closely to her body. "N-No, I'm fine." She managed to say.
His smile grew wider. "Pet-sama, I find it amusing you would say so. After a rough fall like that you must have a bruise at least."
She forced a fake smile. "N-No, I assure you I'm not hurt."
He took a step toward her. "But we must be sure; after all you belong to us now."
She was backed into a wall. "Nnoitra-sama, I understand your concern, but really, I'm fine."
He slammed his hands on each side of her. "I would say not. You're shacking, so you must be hurt." He said as he reached toward the white hakama she was wearing.
"Nnoitra-sama, please!" she said fearfully.
His smile faded quickly. "I show my concern to you, a human female, and this is how you treat me?"
She turned her head in fear. "Forgive me, I meant no disrespect Nnoitra-sama."
He smiled. "Guess he has a long way to go in order to tame you."
She looked back at him. His eyes were fixed on her breasts. They wee larger then any normal sized breast. He had only seen such things in Espada females never a human.
His eyes widened as his large hand gripped it.
She let out a painful moan as he squeezed it.
"They're real, odd to see on a female so young." He said as his smile returned.
She placed her hand on his and tried to push him off of her, yet, it was no use.
"Strange, you've managed to peak my interest pet-sama." He moved closer to her.
"I beg you, Nnoitra-sama, don't do this!" she screamed.
He squeezed her breast tighter. "Keep silent! Unless you want me to be rough with you!"
She bit her bottom lip. Pain was the only expression on her face.
He was enjoying this. He was proving a point just like when he did with the first Espada number 3. He was proving that males were superior to females and that humans were no match for an Espada.
