I don't own anything

"…Hm, I am Aizen Sōsuke, and I would like to ask you to join my army." Aizen said with a smile, as a he looked at Ulquiorra.

Ulquiorra looked at the Shinigami Captain, before he slowly reached out to his side and put his hands on Loly's and Melony's shoulders, before they gasped in relief.

"…Alright." He replied.

Gin looked a bit surprised, while Aizen just smiled. "Really? Just like that?" Gin asked curiously. "I thought hollows weren't wusses, you know. Fighting for the leader." He said mockingly.

Ulquiorra just started at Aizen. "I can sense your spiritual power. And I can't sense the very depth of it. It's outside of my comprehension. I know the outcome of the fight that would ensue between us. If I challenged you, I would die." He stated dispassionately.

"…Smart." Aizen said with a smile, as he reached for his blade. "…But every other hollow I've recruited, has fought back. I can't in good conscious, not prove my strength to you." He said, as he held his Zanpaktuo out.

Ulquiorra didn't look at the blade, as he stared at Aizen. "The fight between us would prove nothing. If we fought, I would lose. You're spiritual pressure out scopes my own. In the end, if we fought, it would only waste the time we have." He said.

Aizen frowned, as he noticed the hollow didn't look at his blade. It was a red-tape thing. His Zanpakuto only took affect if someone laid their eyes upon it. Peripheral vision didn't count.

"And what if I fought your charges?" Aizen questioned, looking at Loly and Melony.

"Attacking someone you know is weaker than you. Only makes you look like pathetic trash." Ulquiorra replied bluntly.

"Oh?" Aizen sounded with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes, but you said you wanted me to join your army…for what purpose?" Ulquiorra questioned curiously.

Aizen smiled. "For the eradication of the Shinigami." He said, causing Loly and Melony to gasp.

"…That sounds pointless." Ulquiorra said dispassionately. "Destroying all the Shinigami would result in destroying all of the hollows as well. We are a balanced system, destroy the Shinigami. We will run rampant and kill everything without consequence. Another species will evolve and eradicate us in turn." He stated.

"Well, I still need an army." Aizen informed.

"Alright." Ulquiorra replied.

"I thought you said it was pointless." Aizen said.

"Almost everything in the universe is." The Arrancar said bluntly.

"Quite." The former Shinigami Captain said with a smirk. He liked the change in the usual bloodthirsty, idiotic, stupid Arrancar. He seemed to actually be able to think, despite how empty his perspective was. "Is your loyalty that easily bought?" Aizen asked.

"When the person who almost triples my power is asking, yes." Ulquiorra replied with no emotion in his voice.

"He's got you there, Aizen." Gin said with a grin.

Ulquiorra looked at Loly and Melony. "I will join your 'army' as you called it. What about my companions?" He questioned.

Aizen looked at the centipede and spider Adjuchas, before he smirked. "With your spiritual pressure, you'll have a specific position in my army. With that position you would get some advantages as a proof of your status. A Fraccion; which are select subordinates that only answer to you." Aizen informed.

Ulquiorra slowly nodded, before he looked at the two Shinigami. "…Lead the way." He said, before the two Shinigami vanished in a flicker.

"Did you think this would be that easy?" Gin asked to Aizen.

"Hmm, yeah. From what I heard about him, he's easy to convince, if you know what to say." Aizen replied.

"What's going on, Ulquiorra-sama?" Loly asked unsure, as she, Melony and Ulquiorra followed the two Shinigami, but kept their distance. "Are we really going to follow these jerkoffs?" She asked.

"For the moment, if I hadn't had joined them, they would've killed you two, and myself." Ulquiorra said with a frown. While he cared little for his own life, he did hold something fond towards Loly and Melony. He wasn't sure what it was, but he did his best to ignore it.

"…So you did it, to protect us?!" Loly said with a swooning sound in her voice.

"…What have I told you about asking stupid questions?" Ulquiorra asked with a frown, causing Loly to blush behind her mask.

"Are we going to attack them with their backs turned?" Melony asked, as she readied to attack.

"No, that would be foolish, in a battle between spiritual beings. The ones with the most spiritual power are the ones that survive, while the ones with the smallest amount are hurt. If we attack, we will only lose." Ulquiorra said seriously.

"I...can't believe they're stronger than you, it's just…not possible." Loly said, as she looked down. She couldn't believe or comprehend someone being stronger then Ulquiorra.

"He." Ulquiorra replied.

"Huh?" Loly sounded.

Ulquiorra gave her a blank look, as he frowned. "He is stronger than I am. The silver haired Shinigami on the other hand is lower in spiritual energy." He stated dispassionately.

Loly turned and glared at Aizen, as she scowled behind her mask. 'How dare this freak be stronger than Ulquiorra-sama?!' She thought angrily.

Ulquiorra held his usual blank look, as he followed the Shinigami at high-velocities and eventually stopped at a large dome on the ground, with pillars up on the top of it.

Aizen turned and looked at the three, before he smiled in his usual haughty-superiority manner. "Welcome, to Las Noches." He said, as he kept one hand on his Zanpakuto.

Loly just glared at Aizen with scorching fury, while Melony looked around the dome. Ulquiorra had his hands in his pockets, as he looked at the taller Shinigami. Aizen cast a glance at Loly, before he turned around and entered the dome.

"Oh, Ulquiorra-kun, try not to release your Zanpaktuo. You might bring down this place upon us if you do." Aizen advised, as the five walked in.

'How did he know my name?' Ulquiorra asked himself.

'That Bastard! Thinking he's so familiar with Ulquiorra-sama!' Loly thought angrily.

As they entered the dome, Loly's and Melony's eyes went wide, as they looked at the interior of the dome. It was day. There was sunlight that illuminated the desert. Ulquiorra's facial expression didn't change, as he looked at the 'sky' of Las Noches.

"It's a marvelous monument to ambition, don't you think?" Aizen questioned.

Ulquiorra looked at the Shinigami blankly, causing Aizen to just smile. "Come, this way." The Shinigami said, as he walked off, leading the group to the inner workings of the palace.

A few minutes later, after Gin left, Aizen lead Ulquiorra, Loly and Melony into a darkly lite chamber. When the chamber doors sealed up, Loly and Melony tensed.

"What's going on!?" Loly demanded, before she realized Ulquiorra was staring at her, causing her to bow her head and move back.

Aizen just smiled his usual smiled, as he walked over to a case in the center of the room and opened it up. There was a tiny glowing, glass-like orb inside it, before he picked it up.

"Do you know what this is?" He asked.

"…No, but I'm sure you'll tell us…" Loly mumbled angrily.

"This is the Hōgyoku, it's something I and some if the greatest minds have created." Aizen said, but Ulquiorra's blank look told him he really didn't care. "Its powers are unique. I would like to use it on your two charges." He informed, causing Loly and Melony to move a bit behind Ulquiorra.

"I won't agree to any form of object use on the women, if I don't know what it does." Ulquiorra stated in a blunt and aloof tone.

"It will make them more powerful." Aizen said with a smile, causing both Loly and Melony to share an excited glance.

"I won't agree to any form of object use on the women, if I don't know what it does." Ulquiorra repeated in his same detached tone, totally contradicting the fact that he was showing a form of protectiveness against his companions.

"It'll turn them into what you are, an Arrancar." Aizen answered.

"...I won't agree to any form of object use on the women, if I don't know what it does." Ulquiorra repeated a third time, with his eyes narrowing slightly. He hated doing or saying things a third time. When he said something, it means he meant it.

"It is the Hōgyoku, its purpose is to remove the barrier between Hollows and Shinigami. An Arrancar is a hollow that removes their mask and gains Shinigami like abilities, but not all hollows can become an Arrancar. There comes risks to it, possibilities of permanent power removal or crippling. This is a device that makes that transition more…fluid." Aizen explained.

Ulquiorra tilted his head. "So you have used it on yourself." He said.

Aizen chuckled. "An interesting idea, Ulquiorra-kun." He said, causing Loly to glare at him. "But, my ambition is higher than being a Shinigami with hollow powers." He informed.

Ulquiorra glanced at the orb. "You don't want to merely have the abilities of both species, you want to transcend them." He commented.

"How…observant." Aizen said, as he narrowed his eyes slightly. This Hollow was smarter than the other ones he'd recruited. He wasn't sure it was a good thing or a bad thing. He wanted pawns to fight on his behalf, but he also wanted competent help for when he needed it.

"It is the only logical conclusion." Ulquiorra replied.

Aizen smiled. "I like you." He admitted.

"He is a very likeable person." Loly muttered to herself, as she glared at the Shinigami.

"You commented earlier about the Hōgyoku making the process of turning a Hollow into an Arrancar more fluid, but not flawless. Not only would your using it on the woman, give you powerful subordinates, it also allows you to comprehend how to use such a powerful object to much a higher extant. So you can use it on yourself without any risks." Ulquiorra theorized.

"Such an interesting observation skills." Aizen complimented with a nod. "With the information you have, you made an incredibly useful deduction." He commented with some truth in his voice. He hadn't told Ulquiorra about the fact the Hōgyoku was dormant, but the deduction Ulquiorra had was very close on the nail.

Ulquiorra just looked at Aizen blankly. "Now that you know what it does, shall I turn your charges into Arrancar?" Aizen questioned with a raised eyebrow.

"…It isn't my decision to make, what you do with the women. If they wish to shed the shackles that bind them to their hunger, then so be it." Ulquiorra said coolly.

Aizen smiled, before he looked at the two hollows. "Would you like to watch the transformation, Ulquiorra-kun?" He asked.

Ulquiorra blinked, before he nodded. "It should be an interesting spectacle to observe." He commented.

The melancholic Arrancar moved back and had his hands in his pockets, and watched, as Aizen held up the Hōgyoku towards the centipede and spider hollows. Ulquiorra tilted his head and watched as an intense light shined from the orb and it engulfed the two hollows.

After a few minutes, the light dimmed and Aizen smirked, as he stepped back. Ulquiorra tilted his head and blinked a few times.

"Kya!" A female voice sounded, as teenage-looking female covered herself. She had short, slicked blonde hair with a slight fringe over her right eyes, with green eyes. She had the remains of a hollow mask around her right eye, completely hiding it, with teeth on the bottom of the mask. She was complexly naked, as she used her arms and hands to cover herself.

"Ulquiorra-sama?" Another female voice said, as a young, teenage-looking female looked towards Ulquiorra. She had long black hair with two pigtails that reached down her back, with her visible right eye being pink. The remnants of her mask covered her left eye, with teeth dotted along the bottom of the mask, and there was an extension from her mask which seemed to hold her hair in two pigtails. She was naked and looked at Ulquiorra in surprise, as she slowly reached up to cover herself. She didn't look like she was in a rush to cover herself.

Aizen glanced at the two female Arrancars, before he looked at Ulquiorra. "…Oh yes, we need to get you the proper uniforms." He said with a smile, causing Ulquiorra to glance down at himself. He only wore a pair of black pants and a black robe, with snake choker chains keeping the robe around his neck.

A few minutes later, Loly barged into the room next to her with a happy smile on her face, as she dragged Melony behind her. "Ulquiorra-sama, we're ready!" She announced.

"Please stop dragging me." Melony said, as she got out of Loly's grip. She stood up and brushed her new clothes off.

"Hmph, do you think Ulquiorra-sama will like this?" Loly asked, as she looked down at herself. She wore a short, frilled skirt. White half-sleeves worn from the elbows to the wrist and had thigh-length black-colored, white-outlined boots. She wore a white-colored, black-outlined material that tied around her neck, which revealed a large portion of her stomach and chest.

"I don't think he likes much of anything." Melony commented, as she crossed her arms. She wore a white dress with short sleeves, which were slitted and ran slightly past her elbows, and had an upturned collar. Her dress was unzipped at the front, revealing a bit of her cleavage, and exposed her waist, along with part of her thighs.

"Shut up!" Loly snapped angrily, as she glared menacingly at Melony, causing the blonde hollow to look away in some nervousness. Melony knew Loly held Ulquiorra at a really, really high esteem, along with being seemingly infatuated and obsessive about him. She, herself was loyal to Ulquiorra sure, but Loly took it to another level.

"Will you two quit pointlessly arguing?" A dispassionate voice said, causing Loly to quickly turn and bow her head.

"Sorry, Ulquiorra-sama!" Loly said, before she looked up and blushed a bit. Standing front of her was Ulquiorra, except he wore a different outfit than what she was used to.

Ulquiorra looked at her blankly, causing Loly to shift a bit. "What do you think about my new outfit, Ulquiorra-sama?" She asked, as she put her hands behind her back and pushed forward a bit.

He looked at Loly's outfit, before he gave her a look. "It's provocative." He stated, as he walked passed her and Melony.

"…See?" Melony asked dryly, only to see Loly was hugging herself and smiling, with a blush.

"He thought I was sexy!" Loly whisper yelled to herself in excitement.

'She's delusional.' Melony thought with a sigh, as she and Loly followed after the melancholic Arrancar.

"Where are we going, Ulquiorra-sama?" Loly asked curiously, as she kept up with the Arrancar.

"Aizen-sama, as requested that I join him, along with the other Espada." Ulquiorra said emotionlessly.

"…When did he do that?" Loly asked unsure.

"When you two were changing." He replied dispassionately, as he reached up to his white jacket and moved it to the side, revealing his chest, causing Loly to blush. "…He also gave me this." Ulquiorra said, looking at the gothic '4' on the left side of his chest.

"What does that mean?" Melony asked curiously.

"I am apparently, the Fourth Espada in Aizen-sama's army." Ulquiorra stated.

"…And that means?" Melony asked again.

"Out of every Arrancar or hollow in this location, I am the forth strongest among them." He answered.

"…What?!" Loly demanded angrily, as she clenched her fists, causing Ulquiorra to look at her, causing her to look away and bow her head. "S-sorry. It's just…how can there be so many people stronger then you are? You're the strongest ever." She said.

Ulquiorra stopped and gave her a look, before he slowly looked forward. "I don't know what your fixation on me being the strongest is, but quit it…it's creepy." He said, causing Melony to blink in surprise. She never thought she'd hear him say that.

"B-but it's true." Loly mumbled, as she crossed her arms.

"How are we supposed to find our way around here?" Melony asked unsure, as she looked down the long, tall hallways.

"I investigated the area as you two were changing." Ulquiorra stated, causing Melony to look at Loly with a frown. She took almost thirty minutes getting her outfit together.

Ulquiorra walked with his hands in his pockets, with Loly and Melony followed. After a few minutes of walking though Las Noches, Ulquiorra stopped.

"You two, head in that direction." Ulquiorra said, as he pointed in a direction. "Every Espada seems to have a unique area in this palace. Apparently my area is that way." He stated.

"Y-you're inviting us into your place?" Loly asked in shock, with a blush on her face.

Ulquiorra looked at her blankly. "Don't ask stupid questions." He said with a frown, causing Melony to roll her eye and grab onto Loly.

"Sorry Ulquiorra-sama, you know how she is." Melony said with a sigh, as she pulled Loly with her. "Let's go." She said, getting a growl from Loly, but complied.

Ulquiorra turned around and vanished in the sound of static, before he appeared in front of a door. In the Espada meeting room, sat seven people.

Sitting at the table, was a man. He had blue-grey eyes and wavy, dark brown hair, which ended at the base of his neck and was unkempt, along with a faded goatee. He wore a white jacket outlined in black, with an upturned collar. There was black slash around his waist and wore white gloves. He had the remains of a hollow mask of a fanged bottom jaw along his neck. Starrk was leaning forward, with his head resting in his hand, him being the First Espada. The chair to his right was vacant, but to his left held someone else.

Sitting next to him, was another man. It was a very tall and thin man with a lanky body. He had a huge smile, revealing his upper teeth. He had black hair that hung past his shoulders, hiding the left side of his face. He wore a white jacket with an overblown spoon-like hood. Nnoitra was lounging back, with a grin. He was the current Fifth Espada, with a woman sitting next to him.

She had olive colored skin with aqua eyes, thick eyelashes and short golden blonde hair. She had a white high collar, which covered the lower part of her face, while showing a good portion of the lower half of her breasts. The jacket's sleeves completely envelop her arms, terminating in black glove-like extensions at her extremities. She was Tier Harribel, the Third Espada, next to her was an empty chair.

Next to the empty chair was a giant of a being. He had tanned skin, a strong built and a ridge-lined head. He had brown eyes, black, long sideburns, and a thin ponytail. He had orange eyebrows and red markings under his eyes. He wore an open Espada jacket, showing a giant hollow hole, having a hollow mask, looking like a jawbone.

Sitting next to Yammy, was an old man. He had a white mustache and similarly colored hair, with his face covered in large scares. He wore a regal white leather coat with black fur lining, with golden wristbands on both his writs. On his head were the remnants of a hollow mask, looking like a five-pointed crown. He was Barragan, the Second Espada.

On Barragan's side was a tall and thin male, with shoulder-length pink hair with bangs on the right side of his forehead, with amber eyes. The remains of his mask took the appearance of a pair of rectangular-framed glasses. He wore a long shirt that covered his entire torso to the top of his neck.

Here was an empty chair next to Szayelaporro, the Eighth Espada. Next to the empty chair however was another man. He was a muscular man with light blue spiky hair and light blue eyes, with green lines below them. He had white hakama pants, with a black slash and a ragged white jacket with an upturned collar.

The sound of light footsteps caused the Espada to glance at the door, before it opened up and a person walked in. Starrk and Harribel looked at the person with recognition. The First Espada being more stunned and worried, not for himself, but for the person.

The person who had walked in was slender, with average height. He had fairly short, messy black hair, pale white skin, a black upper lip, and green slitted eyes. A part of his bangs fell between his eyes, and he had distinctively thick eyebrows. He had teal lines descending from the power parts of his eyes, looking like tear marks, and had an almost permeate frown on his face. He wore a white jacket with the collar higher, with a black sash, and a white hakama. The remains of his mask lied on the top-left side of his head. It looked like a broken horned helmet.

Ulquiorra looked at the other Espada in the room, before he callously ignored them and walked to the other end of the table, towards the empty seat on Starrk's side, only for a hand to stop him. Nnoitra stood up and had his hand out and grabbed Ulquiorra by the helm of his jacket.

"Who the hell are you?!" Nnoitra snarled out, as he held the shorter Arrancar by his jacket.

"I am Ulquiorra Cifer…release me." Ulquiorra replied dispassionately.

"You think some emo-little-shit can order me around!?" Nnoitra demanded, causing Starrk to stand up.

"Fifth." Starrk said seriously, surprising the hell out of the other Espada, along with scarring Nnoitra a bit.

"Think?" Ulquiorra asked, as he lifted his hand up, causing Nnoitra to look back towards the shorter Arrancar. Ulquiorra 'lightly' tapped his finger against Nnoitra's wrist, and what happened next scared the hell out of the lower Espada.

The sickening crack echoed, as Nnoitra's arm warped and contorted, as the joints, tendons and bones in his lanky arm snapped. Ulquiorra seemed to have torn out the bones out of Nnoitra's arm, tore the tendons and shattered the bones, with a simple tap of his finger.

"AH!" Nnoitra yelled, as he stepped back and held his shattered arm.

Ulquiorra put his hands back in his pockets, before he walked past Nnoitra. "I don't care much for apologies." He said dispassionately, as he sat down in the seat next to Starrk and had a perfectly straight posture.

Nnoitra grunted, as he slowly moved towards Ulquiorra, only to stop when he felt a blade against his neck. "…I'm not one who likes to get all caught up in a fight, but we are here for a reason." Starrk said, as he held the blade against Nnoitra's neck. "But I really want to get this meeting done with, so I can go back to sleep. Your actions will add time to that." He commented, causing Nnoitra to stumble back, before he sat back down.

Starrk appeared in his seat, with such speeds that it looked like he teleported there. Ulquiorra hadn't moved a muscle, as he had his hands in his lap and his back straight.

"Now that, that's over with…" A male voice said, causing the Arrancar to turn and saw Aizen sitting at the other end of the table. "…let's get this meeting started, tea?" Aizen asked, as tea was handed out along the table.

Across Las Noches, three girls were walking down. One girl was slender and had long, glowing olive-green hair and long eyelashes, with lavender colored eyes and had three pink dots below her right eye. Her mask remnants looked like three hair clip-like extensions on the right side of her bangs. She wore a furry black necklace around her neck, with a long white dress with long sleeves, which extended past her hands with a single slit on each one. And she had two tin belts crisscrossing around her waist.

Next to her was a tomboyish girl with heterochromia, with her right eye being ice blue and her left eye being amber with a red outline. She had black, jaw-length hair, with a mask fragment on the top of her head with a horn in the middle. She wore a white Arrancar Jacket, with a V-neck, and gloves with collars over her wrists.

Next to her was a dark-skinned, green eyes woman with long, thick, wavy brown hair. She had a mask fragment forming a three-sectioned crown around her head and a thick necklace. Her attire looked more like an amazon warrior, with armor instead of the usual Arrancar.

"All I'm saying is, if we can charge a Cero with our fists, we could put them together and make a giant ass-cero!" Apacci declared.

"That's so stupid; I'm not surprised you came up with it." Mila Rose said with a smirk, causing Apacci to explode with anger.

"You stupid Gorilla, what the hell's that supposed to mean!?" Apacci yelled angrily.

"…" Silence echoed, causing Mila Rose and Apacci to turn and look at Sung-Sun, waiting for her passive-aggressive interjection.

Sung-Sun was looking off with a distant look in her eyes. "What the hell, Sung-Sun!?" Apacci yelled.

"Oh, sorry…That's like the pot calling the kettle black." Sung-Sun said uncaringly, having her hand up in front of the lower part of her face.

"What is your problem?" Apacci asked rudely, looking at the Arrancar.

"Nothing's my problem." Sung-Sun replied.

"Then quit acting like some depressed idiot!" Apacci snapped.

"I'm not depressed." Sung-Sun said with a frown, looking at Apacci with narrowed lavender eyes. "Perhaps you're projecting." She suggested.

"I am not projecting!" The tomboyish Arrancar yelled angrily, as she animatedly pointed her finger at Sung-Sun. "You are all mopey and it's annoying! Why are you always mopey!?" She demanded.

Sung-Sun narrowed her eyes at Apacci. "I am not mopey." She stated.

Mila Rose narrowed her eyes, before they went wide and she grinned. "Oh, I know what's going on!" She said, causing the two to look towards her.

"What is it?!" Apacci demanded, before the sound of footsteps stopped them for a moment, with two teenage girls walked down the hallway. One had blonde hair and a green eye, and one with black hair in ponytails and a pink eye.

"…And I said, if you had wings, why would you give It up. And then he said…" Loly spoke happily, while Melony had a dry look on her face.

"Let me guess, it was about you asking stupid questions." Melony said.

"He doesn't always say that!" Loly snapped angrily, as she glared Melony.

"Will you two shut the hell up?!" Apacci yelled, as she glared at the two girls.

Loly turned and looked at the three, before she glared menacingly. "Who do you think you are, to talk to us like that?!" She demanded, before her head snapped back, as a crimson Bala slammed into her head.

Apacci grinned, as her fist sparked with spiritual energy. "Talking to me like that, stuck-up bitch. We're the Fraccion of the Third Espada, Harribel-sama." She said, before she stepped back in surprise.

Loly reared her head back up, with a glare on her face, as steam came off her forehead where the Bala collided. She held her hand up, with crimson sparks crackling off it, before Loly sent her own Bala forward. Apacci was thrown back and sent into a wall.

"I couldn't give two shits about this Harribel or what Espada she is!" Loly snapped angrily. "I only care about Ulquiorra-sama, we're part of his Fraccion, and he's the Fourth Espada!" She said.

"Tch, he sounds like a little bitch, the 'Fourth Espada', The Espada are stronger the lower their number is, idiot! Besides, I've never heard of him, he'll probably get his ass kicked in a few days!" Apacci bragged rudely.

Melony stepped back and looked at Loly, to see she was glaring daggers at Apacci. "You fucking bitch, do not talk about Ulquiorra-sama that way!" Loly screamed out, as she tackled Apacci through the wall and out into the desert, before they fell down towards the desert.

Melony looked at Sung-Sun and Mila Rose. "Sorry about her, she's a bit…obsessed." She said, as she followed her friend.

Sung-Sun turned and glared at Mila Rose. "Don't you dare tell Apacci." She said seriously.

"What? That you have the hots for that one emo-looking Arrancar that we met before we got here?" Mila Rose asked with a grin.

Sung-Sun hissed like a snake, as she glared at Mila Rose. "He is not emo!" She hissed out.

Mila Rose raised an eyebrow in surprise, she never really seen Sung-Sun so worked up. "But you don't deny you having the hots for him." She commented, causing Sung-Sun to narrow her eyes at her. "You've only met him for like what, twenty minutes?" She asked.

Sung-Sun frowned, as she looked away and held her sleeve in front of her mouth. "You can say he left an impression." She replied in a snobbish voice, before she vanished in Sonido.

"…Oh, she's got it bad." Mila Rose said with a smirk, as she followed.

Loly and Apacci glared down, before they attacked. Apacci leaned her head down and formed a crimson Cero on the tip of her horn, with Loly quickly firing a Bala at the ground underneath her. The cero dissipated, as Apacci looked around unsure, as she was blinded by the sand being kicked up.

In a flicker, Loly appeared behind Apacci and grabbed onto her leg, before she swung the girl around and threw her. Apacci flew through the air, before she stopped using Sonido.

"You insolent bitch!" Apacci snapped angrily, as she launched a Bala towards Loly, only for the teenager-looking girl to hold up her hand and expel some of her spiritual energy to disrupt the Bala.

"You're the insolent bitch, insolent bitch!" Loly yelled, as she vanished in Sonido and appeared behind Apacci, before she spun and kicked the unsuspecting Arrancar, sending her plummeting to the ground.

Apacci slowly pushed herself out of the sand. "You really look pitiful down there in the sand, are you sure your bark is worse than your bite?" Sung-Sun asked curiously, looking at Apacci.

"I'll show you bark!" Apacci yelled, as she stood up and turned around, glaring at Loly. A crimson cero formed on the tip of her horn. Loly smiled manically; as she leveled her palm at Apacci, with her other hand on her wrist, before a pink Cero formed.

The two different colored ceros shot out and collided with one another, creating a decent sized shockwave, as they countered each other. The pink and crimson spiritual energy spiraled and twisted upwards.

When the energy dissipated, the two were already half-way charging at each other. Loly had a wide maniacal grin, as she held her Tantō-Zanpaktuo. Apacci had taken off the collars around her wrists, and held two chakrams, with three blades protruding from each one.

"Poison/Thrust…" Loly and Apacci began, as they went to release their Resurrección.

Before Loly, Melony, Sung-Sun, Apacci or Mila Rose could react. Loly's arm was forced down and her Tantō was sheathed, while Apacci's hands were held behind her back. Standing in front of Loly was Ulquiorra, while Harribel stood behind Apacci.

"Ulquiorra-sama/Harribel-sama!" Loly and Apacci announced at the same time.

Ulquiorra looked at Loly with a frown on his face, as he narrowed his green slitted eyes. "I do believe I explicitly instructed you, to go to my area. It would seem you have ignored my order." He said with a frown.

Loly's lips quivered. "B-but…She!" She hissed out, as she glared at Apacci. "…was talking bad about you, I had to show her that…" She began angrily, looking at the other Apacci.

"Does it look like I care?" Ulquiorra asked, looking at Loly with his usual emotionless, blank look.

Loly blushed a bit, as she glanced away. "…It's…It's kinda hard to tell." She admitted.

Ulquiorra looked at her blankly, before he looked at Melony, and then back at Loly. "You're humor eludes me." He stated with a frown. He turned and looked at Harribel, before he looked at her Fraccion. "Snake, Dear and Lion…" He commented, before he sighed. "…Or should I said, Sung-Sun, Apacci and Mila Rose." He added.

"You remembered our names." Sung-Sun said in surprise, as she hid the lower part of her face behind her sleeve.

"You yelled it a few times towards each other, it wasn't hard to remember." Ulquiorra stated, before he looked at Loly and frowned, as he reached out and grabbed her by the shoulder, and made her face the three. "Apologize." He said seriously.

"But they started it!" Loly whined out. "They insulted you!" She protested.

"Insults are just words, arbitrary and pointless." Ulquiorra replied coolly.

"…Isn't an apology pointless too?" Loly asked unsure, trying to get out of it.

"Of course it is." Ulquiorra answered, before he made sure Loly was facing Harribel and her Fraccion. "But they are your superiors." He stated.

"W-what!?" Loly yelled, before she realized who she yelled at and bowed her head. "B-but, Ulquiorra-sama, y-you're the strongest!" She stated.

"The fact of wither who's strongest is irrelevant in this matter. She is my superior, so in turn, she is yours." Ulquiorra replied in his usual detached, monotone voice. "You're actions that were so blindly led by your emotions, have left you in this state. It is no one's fault but your own." He stated.

"But she…" Loly began, looking at Apacci.

"...Is irrelevant." Ulquiorra completed. "If you do not apologize and wish for forgiveness, I will force it out of you." He said seriously, causing Loly to look down, before she looked at Harribel.

"I'm…Sorry." Loly hissed out angrily, as she glared at Harribel and her Fraccion, causing Apacci, Sung-Sun and Mila Rose to glare in return.

Ulquiorra looked from Loly to Harribel, before he bowed slightly. "That is the best you might get, Harribel-sama. She is…difficult." He said with a frown, glancing at Loly, before looking back at the Third Espada. When he looked away, Loly's lips quivered sadly, as she frowned and looked down, before she glared bloody daggers at Apacci for making her look bad in front of Ulquiorra.

Harribel had her arms crossed under her chest, as she looked at the Fourth Espada. "It's fine." She replied, with Apacci rubbing her wrists, as she put her Zanpakuto around them. "You aren't the only one at fault, it takes two to fight." She informed, glancing at Apacci, who hid her arms behind her back and looked away innocently.

Ulquiorra nodded curtly. "§It has been awhile, Mr. Ulquiorra§" Sung-Sun hissed out, with her sleeve covering the lower part of her face.

The Arrancar's pupils dilated, as he looked towards her and nodded. "§I do believe it has.§" He replied.

Sung-Sun smiled slightly, as she lowered her hand and showed her face. "§I've missed being able to talk to someone like this, it makes me a bit happy.§" She admitted.

Ulquiorra titled his head and made a slightly confused face, as he looked at her. "§I ah, I don't know what you're talking about.§" He said bluntly. He didn't realize he was speaking another language.

Sung-Sun giggled a bit, as she held her sleeve in front of her lower face. "§You're so weird.§" She commented, with a smile.

Ulquiorra knitted his eyebrows together and tilted his head. Sung-Sun thought his confused face was just adorable. "Will you quit hissing!?" Apacci yelled angrily, as she looked at Sung-Sun, causing the Arrancar to roll her eyes.

"She wasn't hissing, I understood her perfectly." Ulquiorra stated, getting a smirk from Sung-Sun.

"We are not having this conversation again!" Apacci snapped, glaring at Ulquiorra.

"Do not talk to Ulquiorra-sama like that!" Loly yelled angrily, as she pulled out her Tantō again.

Ulquiorra looked at Loly, giving her a blank look. "I do have the capability of speaking for myself." He stated, causing Loly to blush and look down.

"S-sorry, Ulquiorra-sama." She muttered.

He looked at Harribel, with Sung-Sun smiling, Apacci scowling and Mila Rose had her arms crossed. Ulquiorra looked at them blankly, before he turned around and stepped away.

"Wait, you don't have to leave so soon." Sung-Sun said, causing Ulquiorra to stop and turn around, looking at the female Arrancar.

"I have nothing else to say. In the usual social situation, one would leave." Ulquiorra stated.

"Tch, big shocker." Apacci muttered, as she crossed her arms, earning a glare from Loly.

"I don't believe what I said could give off an electoral discharge." Ulquiorra admitted seriously, causing Sung-Sun to giggle and Apacci to blink a few times.

"Geez, you're really dense." Apacci commented.

Ulquiorra tilted his head and knitted his eyebrows together. "No, I am not condensed." He stated, with Sung-Sun giggling again.

"This is all going over your head, isn't it?" Apacci said with a smirk, she was beginning to like Ulquiorra.

"…I have well attuned senses. Nothing goes over my head, without me knowing." Ulquiorra informed, not understanding the sarcasm Apacci was using. He spent most of his time with Loly and Melony. Loly would never mess with him and Melony didn't really want to press his patients.

Apacci grinned, only for it to slip off her face when she saw Harribel looking at her seriously. She sighed and nodded. "Really Apacci, picking on someone who's incredibly literal?" Sung-Sun asked mockingly, as she held her sleeve in front of her mouth. "Is it so hard for you to pick on people who understand that your insults are stupid? It makes you look weak." She commented.

"What're you talking about!?" Apacci demanded, yelling at Sung-Sun, only to see the female Arrancar looked away. "Hey, don't ignore me!" She yelled.

"…You're so noisy." Ulquiorra commented, causing Apacci to face towards him. She was only a foot from him.

"Who do you think you…" Apacci began, before she slipped on the sand burnt to glass sand and felt towards Ulquiorra.

Loly and Sung-Sun's eyes went wide, while Melony gasped. Harribel tilted her head, while Mila Rose smirked. Apacci had fallen on Ulquiorra and her lips were pressed against his. Her multi colored eyes widened, while Ulquiorra blinked a few times.

After a few seconds, Apacci pulled back with shock and anger written all over her face. Ulquiorra tilted his head and knitted his eyebrows together.

"Ew!" Apacci sounded, as she spat on the ground and tried to rub her tongue. "Why did you kiss me!?" She demanded.

"…Why did you have to stick your tongue in my mouth?" Ulquiorra asked curiously.

"Wa-ha-hoo." Mila Rose sounded, as she looked at Apacci. "Someone has the hots for the 'Little Bitch' Espada." She commented mockingly.

"W-What!?" Loly and Apacci yelled at the same time, before they glared at each other.

Ulquiorra just looked at them, before he looked at Harribel, to see she was shaking her head in bemusement. Melony looked at her friend, to see Loly and Apacci were pushing their heads against another's. Ulquiorra reached up with a hand and put it on his lips.

'That was…interesting.' Ulquiorra thought.

"Are you trying to make a move on my master!?" Loly demanded angrily.

"Like Hell I was!" Apacci replied.

"So you admit it!" Loly yelled.

"Like, I would like some emo!" The Arrancar with multiple eye colors argued.

"Why wouldn't you like him?!" Loly demanded defensively. "Is Ulquiorra-sama not good enough for you?!" She questioned.

"I never said that, and you know it!" Apacci yelled back angrily.

"So you do like him! Well stay away!" Loly ordered snidely, glaring bloody daggers.

Apacci gritted her teeth, as she glared at Loly seethingly. "Do you think you can tell me what to do, you schoolgirl-slut!?" She demanded, as she pushed her head against Loly's. "If I want to go after your master, I sure as hell will!" Apacci declared.

"If you so as much lay a hand from your out-of-fashion self, on Ulquiorra-sama. I'll…I'll…" Loly began. "Ah!" She sounded, as she was pushed back by Apacci and her butt hit the ground.

"What're you gonna do?" Apacci asked mockingly, as she turned and looked at Ulquiorra with a wide cocky and bold grin and stepped towards him.

Ulquiorra titled his head and looked at Apacci with his usual unreadable face. He didn't sense or pick up on any obvious malice or malevolence coming off her posture, so he didn't try to stop her. Without that in her posture, it was obvious that she wasn't going to attack him and in turn, didn't mean he should react.

Apacci stepped towards him and reached out, before she pressed her hand against the wall behind Ulquiorra. The female Arrancar grinned as she looked at the melancholic-looking Arrancar in front of her, who just had his usual frown.

"You better not!" Loly yelled, as she went to get up.

"…Apacci…" Sung-Sun said with a scowl.

Their protests only made Apacci grin wider, just thinking about pissing off Sung-Sun and Loly, made it all the sweeter in her opinion. Ulquiorra looked at her blankly, before Apacci leaned forward and forced her lips onto his. His green slitted eyes went a bit wide at that, as he felt Apacci reach up and put her other hand on the back of his head, touching his mask fragment in the process.

Mila Rose and Melony glanced at each other, before they looked back at the spectacle. Melony looked really worried, while Mila Rose was enjoying Sung-Sun's enraged look. Loly's mouth was formed into a furious scowl, as she glared at Apacci. Ulquiorra was blinking a few times, as he felt the nice sensation. He wasn't sure what it was, but what Apacci was going was making him feeling something…intense.

Harribel tilted her head and looked at Apacci with a raised eyebrow. 'And I thought Sung-Sun held an infatuation with that mysterious Arrancar.' She mused.

Apacci pulled back and grinned, as she cast a glance at Loly. Before Apacci could react, she was moved forward, before she was turned around and pushed up against the stone wall behind her. She was literally indented into the wall, as Ulquiorra pushed her up against it.

She gasped, before Ulquiorra pressed his lips against hers. Apacci's eyes closed and rolled back, as she relaxed and moaned, before she opened her mouth a bit. Loly's mouth as agape, as she looked at what was going on with wide eyes, she wasn't the only one. Melony's arms uncrossed and she looked at what was happening.

After a few seconds, Ulquiorra pulled back and took a step back, as he let go of Apacci and put his hands in his pockets. He has his usual blank look. Ulquiorra looked at a stunned Loly and Melony. "I want to inspect my quarters, come." He said, as he vanished in the sound of static, with Loly and Melony to quickly follow in Sonido.

Apacci stayed there, partially imbedded in a wall with her mouth open and her eyes a bit wide. "I…I get it now…" She muttered with a blush.

"Get what?" Mila Rose asked, as she glanced at Apacci with a raised eyebrow, before her eyes lowered, and she suppressed a chuckle.

"What the crazy-bitch's deal is." Apacci muttered to herself, as she panted. "That guy, he may seem all…emo and emotionless, but there's…so much, so much compacted in there. And whoa…" She sounded to herself. It was like an avalanche that hit her, a lot of passion and lust that even Ulquiorra probably didn't know was there. All built up and repressed, and it all just slammed into her. "…Whoa…" She sounded again.

"I'd say." Mila Rose commented, as she crossed her arms.

Apacci blinked a few times and caught her breath, before she narrowed her eyes at Mila Rose. "What's that supposed to mean!?" She demanded.

Mila Rose just smirked. "…You might want to change your pants…It seems you liked that kiss, a little too much." She commented, while Sung-Sun was glaring and her fists were clenched. Harribel was looking away, looking anywhere but her subordinate.

Apacci looked down and her multiple colored eyes went wide. There was a dark, wet stain on her white pants, over her crotch. "…Oh…" She sounded with a sigh. '…It was a good kiss…I wonder if I could get another…' She thought.

"So shameless, what will all the other Arrancars think?" Mila Rose asked mockingly, only for Apacci to glare at her.

"Oh shut up, you Gorilla!" Apacci snapped, as she vanished in Sonido.

Ulquiorra was walking down the hallway of his section of the palace of Las Noches, with a seething Loly and confused Melony.

"Argh, when I get my hands on that bitch!" Loly ranted to herself, as she made a chocking motion with her hands to the air. "…O-of course, I'll let you have some time with her first, Ulquiorra-sama." She said, as she looked down in seething jealously.

"Why would I want that?" Ulquiorra asked, as he knitted his eyebrows together and gave Loly a confused look.

"You um, don't you like her? You kissed her!" Loly said unsure.

Ulquiorra gave her a weird look, before he shook his head and looked forward. 'You are a strange person.' He thought, as he walked down the hallway with his hands in his pockets.


My Computer broke a weeks ago, which is why my updates are so slow...and they will continue to be slow, mostly because I had to get a job. I'm still posting and will continue to do so...until I get bored of doing it.
