Screams pierced the air as human ran for cover. "Anyone with spiritual pressure is to be brought here!" Sins voice yelled as Arrancars was searching for the missing reapers. Sin stood at the steps of the Karakura town high school glaring as those who was already caught. "You'll never get away with this…" Ichigo yelled glaring at the girl. "My my, if it isn't carrot-top, oh? you got caught, such a shame, I was hoping to have some fun with you." Ryia said walking out of the shadows. "What are you doing here?" Sin asked looking at her. "Figured I'd have some fun." Ryia said smirking at the Director general. "I take it you want to take this operation from me?" Sin asked glaring at her. "Not really, as I said, I came here to have some fun, standing around isn't all that fun for me." Ryia said as she walked towards the school gate and disappeared outside.
Ryia walked down the street. It had been a week since her "training" with Aizen which was him locking her in the bright room again. Strolling up to the boarded up Candy shop Ryia smirked and walked in through her shadow portal. Looking around everything seemed abandoned. Walking over to a floor mat she lifted it up revealing a ladder. Jumping down Ryia was welcomed with the sight of several captains and other soul reapers. "Ryia Arashi…" Byakuya hissed noticing her causing the others to turn towards her. Ryia fixed her eyes on one person who stared back at her. "Toshi…" Ryia whispered as she was surrounded with swords to her neck. "What is your purpose here Arashi?" Yamamoto asked as Ryia fell to her knees and pulled her sword out of her skirt sash throwing it in front of him. "Please, help me….i….i need to save my children…." Ryia told them as they stared at her. "I can't do it on my own….I can't take him down by myself, I need everyone's help…" Ryia continued as tears slipped out of her eyes. "Why should we believe you?" Renji asked. "Do you really think I want my children around that bastard?!" Ryia asked looking at him.
Everyone stared down at her. "I can kill him, I know I can, but….I need distractions, and I need someone to protect the children…"Ryia said looking back down at the ground. Toshiro walked over and knelt in front of her. "Ryia…" He said causing the girl to look up at him only to be welcomed with a warm smile. "Welcome back." Toshiro told her as he pulled her into a hug allowing her to sob into his chest. After several moments Ryia finally looked up at Toshiro, "Toshi…." Ryia whispered as she softly kissed him ignoring everyone else around them. Pulling back Ryia slowly stood wiping her eyes. "I have to go...Aizen will start getting suspicious…" She said softly as Toshiro placed her sword back in her hands. "One month, then we'll take that bastard down." He said as Ryia nodded and disappeared into the shadows.
Appearing outside in an ally Ryia sighed slipping her sword back into place before heading back towards the school with an annoyed face. Looking up Sin watched as Ryia walked back into the school grounds. "Had your fun?" Sin asked as Ryia glared at her. "Not one bit." She said frowning. "I'm taking these guys back with me, you stay here and find more of the rebels." Ryia said opening a garganta and lead the way as several arrancars pushed the prisoners forward.
Walking through the gate Ryia walked up to Aizen's throne. "Here's some of the reapers, Sin's force is looking for more." Ryia explained. "Very good, take them down to the dungeon for now." Aizen ordered as the arrancars disappeared with the group. Ryia left and went to find Kit who was in the training grounds. Seeing Ryia walk up Kit stopped her punches at a pillar. "One month." Ryia whispered at her causing the girl to tilt her head before Ryia moved a figure across her neck. Nodding silently Kit figured out her message. "Where's the children?" Ryia asked looking around. "Off playing with Grimmjow." Kit told her as Ryia stared at her in disbelief. "Did you force him or is he willingly doing it?" Ryia asked. "Actually the kids drug him off, I haven't seen them for the past hour." Kit told her as Ryia sighed and turned. "He better hope that they're not hurt." Ryia growled leaving the room with Kit following her.
Walking down the hall Ryia stopped hearing a sound in the playroom. Opening the door both mothers were welcomed to the sight of grimmjow being held down by familiars and wearing a dress while the girls put bows in Grimmjow's hair. Ryia stared at Grimmjow in disbelief as Kit started taking pictures. "Yuuki, Kaida, what are you doing?" Ryia asked catching the girl's attention. "We're making daddy/uncle grimm pretty!" They cheered as Ryia tried holding in a chuckle. "Yes he's very pretty, but where did you two get that dress?" Ryia asked eyeing one of her cosplay dresses. "From your closet mommy!" Yuuki yelled as Ryia sweat-dropped and walked next door to find her cosplay closet wide-open. "How in the….." Ryia whispered frowing. "Yudai…." Ryia growled storming back into the playroom. Ryia stared at the boy who was playing with a familiar in the corner. "Yudai…." Ryia called as the boy gulped. "Yes?" he asked. "Why did you pick the lock to my closet?" Ryia asked sweetly. "Yuuki asked me to." He told her as Yuuki came running up to her. "Mommy, isn't uncle Grimm pretty?" Yuuki asked as Kaida finished a bow. "Yes honey, he's very pretty, but you need to stay out of mommy's closet ok?" Ryia said looking down at her. "Okay…" Yuuki said looking down.
"What is going on…." A deep voice interrupted them. "Daddy!" Yuuki yelled running up to the male who picked her up. "Look daddy, we made uncle grimmy pretty!" Yuuki cheered as the warlord stared at his subordinate who was wearing a pink maid's dress with bows in his hair. Looking over at Ryia Aizen gave her a questioning look. Catching his look Ryia shrugged as the familiars disappeared earning a disappointing awe from the three children. "Alright children, apologize to uncle Grimmy." Ryia ordered as Yuuki jumped down from Aizen's arms and the children stood before Grimmjow. "We're sorry…" They said innocently. "Good, now pick up your playroom and get cleaned up for supper." Kit said as the adults left the room. Grimmjow immediately headed for his room to take off the ridiculous garb as the two woman headed for the kitchen.
"I can't believe the kids did that…" Kit said turning around to find herself alone. "Ry?" Kit asked looking around as suddenly mexican music started playing over the PA system. Looking back into the kitchen Kit watched as Ryia walked in through the shadows smirking as she started cooking. "Really? Mexican music?" Kit asked looking at her friend. "Why not? Everything else here is either Mexican or Spanish…" Ryia said shrugging. After a few minutes Kit left to check on the kids leaving Ryia in the kitchen alone when Aizen showed up. "I see the punishment didn't work." He commented looking at his goddess. "What makes you say that?" Ryia asked glancing up at him before turning her attention back to the food before her. "You're back up to your little panks again." Aizen told her as he walked up behind her. "It's just some harmless music." Ryia told him trying to stay relaxed. "Besides, I'm not leaving the children here with you just so I can be free." Ryia continued turning around. "How noble, putting our children's safety before your freedom." Aizen commented. "I'm not a monster like you, I don't use people just to get what I want." Ryia snapped as she slid out of Aizen's arms. "After all of these years you still believe those lies?" Aizen questioned smirking. "You're the only one who'd lied to me, used me." Ryia told him as she started setting the table. "I never once lied or used you." Aizen told her as he pulled her into his much taller frame.
Ryia stayed there a second longer then she wanted before she pushed away from the male and headed back to the stove. "I have a hard time believing that, if you haven't used me then why did you treat me the way you did?" Ryia asked referring to her "punishment" in the light room. "I had to make sure you was mine and was going to be stolen away from me." Aizen to her as she finished the food on the stove and started placing bowls of toppings on the table. Once finished Ryia looked up at Aizen. "Regardless of what you think, don't put me in the same heartless boat at you, I will do anything to protect my children and my family from the likes of you." Ryia said before walking out of the room. Aizen smirked at the spot Ryia was standing in. Maybe he'll just leave her like this, thing's could get entertaining this way.
As the weeks progressed Ryia had a feeling Aizen was up to something. "Ryia." Aizen said suddenly one day catching her attention from teaching the children some basic math and writing skills. "Yes?" Ryia asked looking up. "Tomorrow morning we will be leaving for the Soul Society, make sure you're packed." He ordered. "And the children?" Ryia asked looking slightly worried. "They'll be staying here." Aizen told her before leaving. Ryia frowned slightly before allowing the children to color as she went to find her friend. Locating Kit in the training ground Ryia instantly put up a shadow barrier around them. "What's up?" Kit asked looking over at Ryia. "Tomorrow morning Aizen is dragging me off to the soul society…" Ryia said frowning. "The invasions suppose to happen in 2 days…." Kit hissed. "The kids are staying here with you, protect them, and….kill Sin….she's no longer an ally." Ryia told her as Kit stared in shock. "I'm going to inform the others right now, maybe we can end this quickly." Ryia said softly before disappearing into the shadows and releasing the barrier.
Ryia walked out of a large rock and looked at the group in front of her. "Ryia…" Toshiro whispered. "I can't stay long, but Aizen has decided that tomorrow morning, him and I are going to the Soul Society, Kit is staying in Hueco Mundo with the children and Sin. At all cost Sin must be killed. I will take out Aizen myself." Ryia explained looking down then looked back up at the group. "Ryia, don't you think that's risky? He still has the Hogyoku in him, he's going to be way too powerful!" Rangiku yelled. "I can do it, I'm the only one powerful enough that can destroy the Hogyoku and kill him." Ryia explained. "Don't be stupid, It can't be destroyed, I haven't been able to do it when it was still weak, but now this it's fused with him he's too strong!" Kisuke yelled frowning. "I can do it, I am the Queen of the shadows after all." Ryia smiled softly before turning back to her shadow. "Just make sure the kids are safe, Kit and I will take care of the rest." Ryia whispered before disappearing into the darkness. "She's a fool, thinking she can kill him by herself." Yamamoto said frowning. "But she is right, only she has the power to destroy the Hogyoku." Yamamoto said sighing.
Ryia appeared back inside Los Noches and looked around. It was to quiet, frowning Ryia started looking around. "Kit?" Ryia asked walking into the training grounds. As if on cue Kit was slammed into a wall next to her. "KIT!" Ryia yelled staring at her friend. "Ow, that hurt…" Kit muttered looking up at her friend. "Oh, hey, you're back." Kit said standing up. "What in the hell are you doing?" Ryia asked frowning. "MOMMY!" A young voice yelled as Kaida ran up to Kit and Ryia with Yudai following. "Mommy are you ok?" Kaida asked looking up at her mother. "I'm fine honey, good kick though." Kit told her smiling as the girl jumped up and down cheering. "Where's Yuuki?" Ryia asked. "Aizen took her, said something about teaching her something." Kit growled as Ryia frowned and stormed out of the room.
Walking into the throne room Ryia jumped as a small blast landed at her feet. Looking up Yuuki said and Aizen lap smiling up at him. "What's going on in here?" Ryia asked glaring at Aizen. "Mommy I did my first Hado!" Yuuki yelled smiling. Frowning Ryia's glare at Aizen intensified. "Yuuki honey, why don't you go play with Yudai and Kaida in the training room?" Ryia asked. "Otay!" Yuuki yelled before jumping off of Aizen's lap and running off. Once gone Ryia glared at the warlord. "Don't you thinks she's a little too young to be learning Hados?" Ryia snapped frowning. "She's very powerful despite not having your dark abilities." Aizen informed her. "I don't want her involved in being a soul reaper." Ryia growled. "But yet you're ok with Kaida and Yudai being one?" Aizen asked. "While I don't agree with Kaida being a soul reaper that's Kit's decision not mine, as for Yudai he's made no such notion of wanting to be one." Ryia explained frowning. Smirking Aizen stood and walked over to Ryia who took a few steps back. "Oh? Are you scared of me my innocent flower?" He asked looking down at her. "Don't call me that, you have no right to call me anything anymore." Ryia hissed before stomping on his foot and leaving the room.
The next morning Ryia awoke to Aizen getting dressed. "You have 20 minutes, get ready. " He ordered before leaving the room. Sitting up Ryia sighed. "Tomorrow, you die, bastard." She whispered before going into the bathroom. 15 minutes later Ryia was sitting in the kitchen drinking a cup of coffee. The children was still asleep which she was happy about, they wouldn't be bombarding her with questions on her return. "I will return, I will protect the both of you." Ryia whispered gripping her cup tighter. "Any tighter and I think your cup will break." Kits voice said walking in and grabbing some chocolate milk from the fridge. Ryia looked down releasing her tight grip on the cup. "Don't worry about tomorrow, I'll keep them safe." Kit told her noticing the worried look that was plastered on her friends face. "Ryia, let go." Aizen ordered from the doorway. Sending Kit a small smile Ryia stood and walked out of the room with Aizen following closely behind her.
