Ryia walked around the Human world's market frowning slightly. She had been on patrol after several reapers managed to escape from Hueco Mundo. It had been several years since Aizen had taken over and he was still trying to become God. "My lady, this sector has been cleared of the reapers." An arrancar said appearing in front of her. "Very well, I'm heading back, keep searching for them." Ryia ordered before disappearing into the shadows. Appearing back in Las Noches Ryia headed down the hall sighing. "Damn soul reapers.." Ryia groaned. "MOMMY!" A young voice yelled followed by the light running. Turning around Ryia smiled as two children jumped in her arms. "Welcome back mommy!' Yuuki said smiling up at her mother. "Thank you, where's your father?" Ryia asked. "He's in a meeting and said not to bother him until he's done." Yuuki explained. "I see, well then, how about we go start on supper?" Ryia asked as the children ran off towards the kitchen.
Walking into the kitchen Ryia watched as her children argued over what to have for supper. "Oh, good, you're back, means I don't have to cook." Sin said walking up with Kit as Kaida ran into the kitchen to join in the argument. "So what's Aizen's meeting about?" Ryia asked looking at the girls. "Mostly him bitching at the arrancars who allowed the soul reapers to escape." Kit said leaning against the wall. Ever since her capture 5 years ago she had been doing everything she can to release Aizen's hold on Ryia. She was slowly gaining back her friendly personality but Aizen made sure not to loosen her leash to much. Sin on the other hand Kit lost trust in, without notice Sin would turn into a ruthless killing machine and her sudden betrayal 5 years ago against the Soul Society closed her book in Kits mind.
Jumping at the suddenly smash of a chair the three girls looked over to find Yuuki on the ground crying. "Yuuki!" Ryia yelled rushing over to the fallen girl. "What happened?" Ryia asked setting the girl on the counter. "Kaida pushed me!" Yuuki cried as Ryia looked her over. "Kaida what have I told you about pushing?" Kit asked looking down at her daughter. "Not to." Kaida whispered softly. "I think you owe Yuuki an apology." Kit told her as Kaida walked over to Yuuki. "I'm sorry I pushed you.." Kaida said softly as Yuuki continued to cry holding her head. "What happened in here?" A deep voice suddenly said freezing the 2 mothers. "DADDY!" Yuuki cried reaching up for him. Picking the girl up Aizen looked down at Ryia. "Yuuki and Kaida got into a little argument and Yuuki fell, Kaida apologized though." Ryia explained. Aizen looked at Kaida then at Yuuki who calmed down once she reached his arms.
Turning around Ryia started cooking supper hoping that the male would leave the room. Sure enough the warlord left the room with his daughter in hand allowing Ryia to breath a sigh of relief while placing the meatloaf in the oven. Looking up Ryia noticed Kit was the only one left in the room as Yudai and Kaida ran off to play and Sin just wandered off. Sinking into a chair Ryia placed her hand on the table. "I don't know how much more of this I can take Kit." Ryia said softly as Kit sat down across from her. "What do you mean?" Kit asked looking at the woman. "Him...I don't know how much longer I can stand being around him…" Ryia said softly. Kit looked at Ryia with a bit of shock. "Are you telling me that…" Kit started. "Yes, everything I'm doing is an act." Ryia finished watching the doorway. "We can get you out of here….there's a rebel force…" Kit whispered. Standing Ryia sighed. "I would love to but I can't put the children in danger." Ryia told her as she checked the food in the oven. Standing straight again Ryia kept her back turned to Kit. "While I hate that bastard with a passion I can't put my children's lives in danger, if it was just me I wouldn't hesitate, but I have Yudai and Yuuki to think about now." Ryia continued softly.
Kit watched her friend. Never in 100,000 years did she ever think that the event that took place would happen. "You've matured so much since having them." Kit said causing her friend to turn around. "You think?" Ryia asked turning around smiling a bit. "Oh yea, before you would have caused a bit fuss about having to stay here with that bastard." Kit said as Ryia chuckled. "You know it." Ryia smirked setting down again. "But when the time is right I will join...I don't want the children around him longer than necessary." Ryia told her as Ulquiorra appeared in the doorway. "Lord Aizen wants your report." He said bluntly before leaving again. Sighing Ryia stood up. "Keep an eye on that will you?" Ryia said as she left the room.
Ryia walked into the throne room and walked over to Aizen who pulled her into his lap. "Did you find them?" He asked. "No sir, I have the arrancars still looking though. I'm going to head back out tomorrow." Ryia told him. Aizen looked down at her. "I don't want you playing with them Ryia, when you find them kill them." He ordered. "Yes sir." Ryia answered as she felt his hands roam over her body. Ryia held back her hand as it itched to slap him. "I'm going to check on the kids." Ryia said moving to get up only to be held down. "Sin and Kit can take care of them." He told her as he flash stepped into their room. Ryia looked up at him and almost immediately regretted it. "It seems that the special training I put you under is disappearing. I believe it's time for a refresher course." He told her as Ryia gulped in fear.
Kit looked worried at Ryia's seat a half hour later. Aizen had returned and was eating dinner with everyone. When Kit went to leave to get Ryia Aizen had told her not to worry about it that she was asleep making her worry more. It continued for a few days and finally after 3 days Ryia appeared changed once more. "Ryia...what happened?" Kit asked once getting the girl alone in a room. "Nothing happened." Ryia said as her voice remained emotionless and her eyes dull. Watching the girl walk out of the room Kit couldn't help but to worry about her friend as Ryia walked off to Aizen's throne room.
Sitting in the kitchen Kit sighed. it's been about 36 years since they was in the academy, during those days Ryia didn't have a care in the world. Even during the junior exam she took things too lightly.
~Flash back~
Kit, Sin and Ryia was in their 5th year of the academy. In a month they was to become seniors and figure out what squads they wanted to be in. "Listen up, I am Renji Abari, look at the cards you selected at the beginning and find the other two people who have the same symbol, that will be your team." Renji explained looking at the students. The girls frowned seeing that they was in different teams. Kit was instantly worried about Ryia seeing that outside Sin and herself Ryia barely talked to anyone else without a higher attitude. "Once you have your team head through the senkaimon to the instructors on the other side." Renji ordered. Kit looked over at Ryia as she headed over to the gate with another girl and a male. Looking up at the two males that was eyeing Kit she followed behind Ryia. "This sucks…" Kit whispered running up next to Ryia. "Tell me about it...I get stuck with the two weakest people in class." Ryia growled glancing behind her. Once on the other side the teams were sent to different sections to battle their hollows.
"Um...Ryia...let's do good today ok?" The girl said looking at Ryia who had her arms crossed. "Just don't get in my way." Ryia growled causing the girl to jump back. She had heard rumors about Ryia and none of them were good. She was a monster in her district and always had a sour look when away from her friends. There was rumors that Ryia had already achieved shikai and due to that was immediately placed in a division. "Let's go, and try not to get in my way." Ryia suddenly growled causing the girl to jump as she looked over at the hollows.
The male and female students looked at each other before diving into the hollows. After several minutes the two was surrounded. "What are we going to do...there's way too many." THe boy said starting to sweat. "Hado #1 Sho!" Ryia's voice suddenly erupted clearing a side of the hollows before she jumped up. "Move!" She yelled and watched as her teammates ran for cover. " Hado # 31 Shakkaho!" Ryia yelled sending a small red connon light down at the hollows destroying them. Jumping back down in front of her teammates she glared over at them. "Thanks Ryia…" The girl breathed. "I said not to get in my way and you did." Ryia growled before walking over to finish the exam.
Meeting back up with the other teams Ryia instantly went over to her two best friends. "Man that was a pain." Ryia grumbled looking around. "Where's the instructors?" Ryia asked looking at Kit and SIn. "We don't know, everyone's here but them." Sin said as a suddenly scream pierced through the crowd as one of the instructors landed in the center. Running over the girls looked at the beaten body of Izuru Kira. "What happened?" Ryia asked frowning as a hollow scream erupted. Looking up the three girls looked at the Menos that was crawling through a hole. "Kit, Sin, Let's go." Ryia instructed and left before Kira could say another word.
"Ryia...I don't think we can take this…" Kit said with a bit of worry as Kit and Sin caught the other two flying instructors. "Get back, we have reinforcements coming!" Momo Hinamori yelled as Ryia took off towards the Menos. Pulling her sword out Ryia started attacking the Menos ignoring the pleas for her to stop. "Hado # 58 Tentan." Ryia whispered as she started spinning her sword. Stopping the sword Ryia directed the blast of air towards the Menos. Within a second Sin was attacking the meno as Ryia grabbed her sword and attacked also. "RYIA GET BACK!" Sin yelled as the Menos powered up a cero. Jumping up out of the way Ryia made sure Sin was a safe distance away. "Ye lord! Mask of blood and flesh, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! On the wall of blue flame, inscribe a twin lotus. In the abyss of conflagration, wait at the far heavens. Hado #73 Soren Sokatsui!" Ryia yelled hitting the Menos as the cero went off.
Screaming in pain Ryia fell as she looked at her burnt arm. "Damn it, he got me." She cursed as she fell into a pair of strong arms. "Shoot to kill Shinso" Another voice rung. Looking over Ryia watched as Gin Ichimaru, the squad 3 captain killed the meno. "Are you alright, Ryia?" A deep voice asked her. Looking up Ryia stared into the brown eyes of the man who saved her, and recently her new captain, Aizen Sousuke. "Yea I'm fine, just misjudged the distance from the cero." Ryia said softly as Sin and Gin walked over. "Ry, are you ok?" Sin asked looking at the girl. "Yea I'm fine…" Ryia smiled as Aizen set her down on the street only to have her back in his arms as she nearly fainted. "Ryia!" He looked at her. "Sorry, seems I over did it a little." Ryia chuckled as Aizen picked her up again and walked over to the group of scared students.
After getting checked out Ryia was sent back to her dorm to recover her energy. "You know, that was pretty gutsy of you Ry…" Kit told her frowning. "Yea well, Someone had to do it until Captain Aizen and snake-face showed up." Ryia said as she plopped down on her bed. "Better get some sleep, I heard Captain Aizen say something about you graduating early." Kit said changing into her sleepwear. "Wait what?" Ryia asked sitting up. "Yea...Aizen was talking to your two teammates while you was getting patched up and they told him everything that happened from you guys leaving for your section to his arrival. Then he said something to Gin about talking to old man Yama about you graduating early." Kit explained looking at her friend. Ryia looked down. "I doubt he'll agree, I mean, I'm surprised I even got place into a squad before everyone else as it is, but graduating a year early?" Ryia said as she changed. "Just don't forget us little people." Kit told her laying on her bed. "I could never forget you, you're my best friend." Ryia told her smiling as her head hit her pillow. Looking over Kit smiled at her friend who was instantly out. "Doing all those kidos today really wore her out…" Kit chuckled turning off the light and falling asleep.
The next morning Ryia awoke and stretched wincing at her arm. The cero the night before got her worst then she thought, walking into their bathroom Ryia removed the bandage around her arm to reveal the bottom was angry with red, black and blues. The medic had told her she was lucky and if she was standing 2 more centimeters to the right she probably would have lost her arm. Turning on the shower Ryia sighed as the news Kit told Ryia last night ran through her mind. Why would they consider letting her graduate a year early? Yea she was doing senior work in her free time but she didn't want to leave her two friends behind. After a quick shower Ryia got dressed before heading down towards the cafeteria for breakfast.
Walking in Ryia watched as the place got quiet. "Isn't that Arashi?" "Yea I heard she almost defeated a menos last night." "I heard she got burnt by a cero fighting it." "Where was the 6 round instructors?" "They was all defeated by it." Whispers kept going around as every stared at the girl as she got her breakfast and left the room. "God damn nosey asses." Ryia hissed sitting down in the courtyard to eat. It was driving her nuts just listening to the whispers for 5 minutes, there was no way she could handle the time it took to eat. "And already you're popular." A voice said. Looking over Ryia watched as Makoto Kibune walked over. "Have to say, what you did last night was impressive." He continued smirking. "What? came to see if I cheated?" Ryia asked frowning. "You always do, I just haven't figured out how you've done it yet." Makoto said. Him and Ryia was constantly competing against each other in terms of grads, but when it was announced that She had already been placed in a squad Makoto was furious and challenged her to a spar. One to which he lost in under a minute.
"I want to know Arashi, what makes you so special? Captain Aizen brought you to this academy halfway through the semester 1st year, You aced every exam, almost defeated a menos, placed in a squad before even senior year, and now, there's talk you're graduating early. So why? Why are you so damn special?" Makoto yelled growling as Ryia finished her breakfast and stood up. "You really want to know Kibune? It's because I have a goal in mind, before I came here I had no one, then Captain Aizen came along and changed everything. I'm not going to be a failure and ruin his good name. I will show everyone that Captain Aizen was right in believing I have a purpose. Maybe that's why you're stuck here, you don't have a purpose, you just follow along with what's popular." Ryia said as the bell rung and she left him standing there to think about what she said.
The day was almost half over before Ryia was summoned to the office during Hakuda class. Giving her two best friends a worried look Ryia left hoping she wasn't in trouble for last night. Taking a deep breath Ryia knocked on the door and entered after hearing the head-captain. Walking in Ryia looked up at the 13 court-guard captains that stood in the office. At the very center sat the person what held her fate in his hand.
~Flashback End~
Kit sighed as the thoughts left her mind. After that meeting Ryia graduated with honors and was immediately made 3rd seat of squad 5. That added to Kit distrust for Aizen, having never liked the man in the first place, he took her best friend away, it only intensified over the years as Kit was pulled into Aizen scheme to become God. "God damn bastard." Kit hissed heading towards the training grounds. For over 30 years Aizen used Ryia's love for him to use her. Her admiration for him to keep her close. Everything about the man pissed Kit off. He did nothing but play around with people not caring about their feelings or lives. "I swear Ryia, I will free you and the children from him." Kit hissed as she disappeared deep into training grounds.
