I woke up daze and confuse for I felt a surge of pain shoot through my body before fading permanently. If I had to describe it was almost like a vacuum was taken and put on high sucking my spirit back to my wounded body. I shook my head and look up. I saw a golden halo dome form over me and a girl with red hair hovering near it with her hands out. Wait a second it's that human we took I mean Lord Aizen took. I rack my brains looking for a name to match the face. Then it hit me! She was Orihime Inoue. I got an even bigger blow when I saw a seven foot seven giant standing behind her with his arms cross.
"Ken Chan she is up and ready to go"Yachiru yell in an adorable voice. I look at the bubble gum hair girl then back at the Shinigami I knew. Zaraki was grinning and look at me as if I were his possession now. I recall hearing him mention something about providing care for a little girl.
"Long time no see Amazon''Zaraki spoke and bent down to move Orihime out of the way.
"Err Mr. Zaraki her name is Harribel"Orihime corrected falling back on her butt and watch as he broke the orb. I shifted looking for my sword but spotted it nowhere. Ichigo was there with his arms cross mumbling something about Lord Aizen guarantee a jail break if I were release. I narrow my eyes at him and ask him what he meant by that.
"Lord Aizen was taken prisoner but not before he reach his goal in becoming a god"Zaraki explain and handed me his Captain coat. I look at it trying to figure out why I would need it but took it anyways.
"Ken Chan! Ikkaku had just got you the spare and now you have none"Yachiru yell slapping his thigh. Zaraki grin at her but look back at me.
"Can you walk or should I carry you to the Soul Society?"Zaraki bent down and look at me as if praying that I would say no I can't walk. I got up and spun in a circle so he could see I was fully restored thanks to Orihime. I look at her and mumble a thank you. Though I would have preferred to die and not go through my heart ache from Aizen's betrayal. With that being said I was led back to the Soul Society where I pass up Byakuya whom I remember meeting before. Byakuya just made a face and follow us as we made our way to the eleventh squad barracks.
"What do you think you are doing?"Byakuya question with his arms cross. Renji appear behind him and gasp spotting me and the number three on my right breast.
"Shut it Renji! For crying out loud Kurosaki brought Neliel and Grimmjow here so why can't I bring her?"Zaraki look at Renji though I had a feeling he was addressing his answer to Byakuya. I could tell he did not like me and was studying me closely to see if I was forming a jail break for my fellow espada.
"Grimmjow is still alive?"I asked not sure what to make of this bit of info. If anything I was please to hear that I was not alone but at the same time I had hope Ulquiorra was alive too. If anyone deserves a second chance it was Ulquiorra he never really did much harm in my opinion.
"That son of bitch is too stubborn to die"Zaraki grin and nodded his head at me.
"I take it you fought him?" I asked looking at him in disbelief.
"No, I heard from Kurosaki who felt sorry for him and defended him from Nnoitora which I like to point out I ended up eating his lunch"Zaraki jerk a thumb in his chest.
"If you don't object I like to see my espada comrade "I asked sure that I would get no as an answer.
Even if it was Grimmjow and he had some bad blood with me I was more than home sick to see someone I knew. I made my way with Zaraki as he took me to the holding cell in the Soul Society. Grimmjow lie with his arms strap down on the hospital bed. Unohana was writing a report on him when Zaraki appear with Harribel.
"Captain I heard you had a P.O.W" Unohana smile at me then look at him.
"Yeah well she is fine thanks to Inoue but she wanted to see her bud"Zaraki jerk his chin at an unconscious Grimmjow.
"Well she will have to wait after Neliel and Kurosaki"Unohana spoke with a twinkle in her eyes. I look around to see who this Neliel is. Then it hit me.
"My Neliel was thrown out of rank so I need someone to replace the empty spot"Aizen look at me sympathetically. I nodded my head not saying anything.
"Wait is she an espada?"I asked looking at Zaraki to see if he knew anything.
"Ask her"Zaraki pointed behind me and stare. I look over my shoulder and saw a tall woman with long green hair and a green two piece outfit. Kurosaki and his buds were hovering around her. I also detected the reiatsu of fracciones.
"I am Neliel your predecessor"Neliel walk and introduce herself. My god I never knew she was this beautiful. I shifted my eyes to her chest then to her waist. I see Lord Aizen has a taste for women with big bosom. I pointed to my chest and show her I had the markings of her rank. Neliel nodded and told me she had hers still on her back. I look at Zaraki then at her unsure of why she had the mark.
"I heard what he did to you I am sorry you went through that although I must admit if I had been in position still then it would have happen to me. I am most grateful to Nnoitora in that case for getting rid of me"Neliel was talking about her thoughts on me.
"It was Nnoitora who got rid of you?" I asked raising an eyebrow. Funny he never mentions Neliel nor did Tesla for that matter.
"Yes, but again I am sorry it happened to you. You were only taking my spot and I assume he took it out on you"Neliel refer to Aizen's interest in me or his back stabbing actions. I was about to ask her to clarify her relationship with Aizen when Grimmjow stir in his bed.
"Grimmjow"Neliel race over and lean close to his lips. Grimmjow look up at her then sat up with a speed of a cat.
"Nel what are you doing here?"Grimmjow look at the room then pause on me.
"I thought you were with Aizen?"Grimmjow look at me with suspicion.
"No, he back stabs me and left me to die in Karakura Town"I answer looking pathetic. Grimmjow made a face and look at Kurosaki.
"Oy! When am I going to get the fight you promise me?"Grimmjow tried to undo the straps but Neliel laid him back down.
"Did you see what happen to Nnoitora?"Grimmjow look at her then at Zaraki.
"Ha! That fucker got what he deserves! Why did Lord Aizen hire a nut ball like him to be fifth rank?"Grimmjow look at me for answers. I shook my head and told him Baraggan tried to fight Aizen but fail.
"Sorry to hear that oh well that leaves us in their mercy" Grimmjow look at Kurosaki then at Unohana.
"You're verdict will be decided but until then you are to stay in the custody of sixth squad"Unohana look at the doorway where Byakuya was standing with Renji.
"What the fuck?"Grimmjow look at him then at me. I gulp and look at Zaraki asking him with my eyes if I was also going with Byakuya.
"No, you are with me"Zaraki answer and took my arm leading me away.
"What about Neliel?"I asked looking at her. Kurosaki took his spot near her and tap her shoulder. I thought I caught a jealous look from Rukia's eyes when he did that. Orihime just glow and ramble to Yachiru about me and Aizen. Damn! How many people knew I was with him? Upon my thoughts Zaraki turn to me and explain.
"Gin was spying for us secretly so when he had you mail his letter they were explaining in lengths Aizen's moves and weaknesses. Of course he felt sorry for you and made that clear. I took it upon myself to look after you .Since you got manipulated by the bastard"Zaraki look at me.
"What! Gin was spying for you? I didn't think he had it in him "I answer wondering when he found the time to do that and without Aizen catching on. Sneaky bastard.
"Yeah it seems others underestimated him including Aizen so we manage to get a shit load from him although I must say your little problem he tried to air on TV was confiscated before it could go live"Zaraki snicker at me.
"So Gin and Tousen should be alive right?"I asked looking around for them.
"No, they are both dead it seems Gin attack Aizen in hopes to kill him but Aizen retaliated back by killing him"Zaraki answer my question.
"Fucking Aizen! Who else did he murder?"I asked sounding a little outrage at his actions.
"Hang on! How did you get a hold of the letters? I mean you would have to back track to when Sung Sun drop it off and then you took it?" I asked recalling Sung Sun taking a trip to drop off Gin's secret letters.
"No, my uh ex was the one he was keeping in touch with and when he got through to her I found out about your problem and Aizen's plans"Zaraki answer with his arms cross. I had stop walking and look up at him.
"Who is your ex?"I asked looking around to see a woman lingering nearby.
"The woman name Rangiku whom I heard you had your fracciones fight with"Zaraki grins at me then stop when Yachiru appear to listen to us.
"Oh that bitch"I reflected on her and slip on my profanity around Yachiru. Yachiru did not show any signs of hearing it.
"What you talking about?"She looks up at me then at Ken chan.
"Lord Aizen and how he is douche bag"Zaraki grin at her then ruffle her hair. I squirm at the name calling but relax after he finishes talking.
"What's Aizen's sentence for rebelling against you?"I asked making my way to the cell and went in to sit. Zaraki close the cell and look at me before locking it.
"He has life in prison"Zaraki made a sick face when he said that.
"What! So you mean to tell me you have a god lock up and if he should desire to get out he could?"I asked not sure if this was justice. Now I know why Tousen complain about the justice system sucking in the Soul Society. I missed my old friend and wonder how he met his end.
"I don't agree but Kuchiki pointed out it would be difficult for us to kill him now that he is a god but what ever"Zaraki mumble to me.
I thought it was a bunch of political bullshit and did not engage him on the topic further. I began to think back on my fracciones and all the other espadas he manipulated to get to his goal.
"What happen to my sword?'' I asked pausing on the recent events in my mind. Zaraki look at me then at Ikkaku who appear with his fifth seat member.
"Captain like I was saying its under Twelve Squad possession they refuse to hand it over since they feel it's too easy for her to get a hold of it if she were to break loose"Ikkaku was saying to him.
"I am not about to break loose!"I defended myself angrily. Zaraki just shrug and look at him before asking.
"Do they have Grimmjow's sword as well?"Zaraki furrow his brow at Ikkaku.
"Yes, sir they volunteer to hold that not that he would be capable of over powering Captain Kuchiki"Ikkaku added with a smile on his face.
"Ever since Grimmjow attack Rukia in the World of the Living Kuchiki has had it in for him"Zaraki answer wiping the look off his face.
