Ulquiorra rolled over his bed. He still wasn't used to sleeping alone and he didn't know how to prove Grimmjow's innocence. Ulquiorra's eyes shot open, he wasn't alone. "What are you doing here?" he snarled rolling over Luppi and grabbing his neck ready to break it in a second.

"Ooh, living with Grimmjow has given you a temper. Whatever happened to the emotionally dead cuatro Aizen knew and loved?" he giggled.

"He died with Aizen," Ulquiorra growled before tightening his grip. "Now tell me what the hell you are doing here or I will rip your throat out!"

"I wouldn't do that if I were you!" Luppi sang giddily. "I have come with a message from Szayel!"

"What? Are you their messenger now?"

"Of course not! I just owed Grimmjow this little favor, and if you don't listen I get to deal out the punishment!" Ulquiorra tightened his grip so that there was no way Luppi could breathe. He would enjoy watching this idiot die! "Hey! Wait!" Luppi gasped started to claw at Ulquiorra's hands.

"Why?" Ulquiorra asked emotionlessly.

"If I don't return Szayel will kill all three of them!" Ulquiorra loosened his grip just enough so that Luppi could breathe. "You will let me go and then do as Szayel ordered you! If you don't all three of them will be dead before the end of the week!" Luppi could tell he had won when Ulquiorra removed his hands from Luppi's throat. "As much as I enjoy this get off me!" Luppi sneered shoving Ulquiorra off the bed.

"So what do those bastards want?" Ulquiorra asked standing up and dusting himself off.

"I would speak more kindly of them! I mean you were once their lover!" he sang.

"Don't push it, I can't trust myself not to lose control." Luppi just snickered, he obviously did not believe in Ulquiorra's threat. "Just tell me what they want!"

"Oh, pretty simple. Go and destroy the Rukongai district. Kill as many people as you can...you know kinda like what we used to do, when we were real killers!" Ulquiorra would not show Luppi how horrified he really was at this. "Oh, and you better wear this," Luppi offered up something that looked like a medallion.

"What is this?" Ulquiorra asked looking over it.

"Szayel made it so that your reitsu will be covered up. Don't want you to be discovered too early." Ulquiorra's first thought was to throw it away. What could Szayel do if he was captured by the shinigami? "Oh and just so you know, Szayel won't be forgiving if you get captured. That will make him deal with those three that much more harshly."

"Fine, I understand. Now get the hell out!" Luppi giggled as he opened the garganta and walked into the portal waving as he slowly disappeared. Ulquiorra looked down at the medallion, there was no way he could get out of doing this. He would have to murder all those people to make sure his babies wouldn't die.

Ulquiorra had released Murcielogo for the first time since the final battle with the shinigami years ago. It was a strange feeling being like this again, he enjoyed the power but not what the power was about to be used to do.

His hand heated up with the power of his cero oscuras right before he released it. As soon as it hit the reaction was immediate. He could hear the screaming as people tried to flee from the destruction and the fear of what was going on. Ulquiorra released two more cero oscuras before moving onto the next section. It only took minutes before the Rukongai was filled with flames.

Ulquiorra could tell that squad members were headed to the most damaged areas. If Szayel's invention truly worked they would be wondering for a long time what had happened.

Szayel watched happily as the Rukongai district was destroyed. He had had no idea that Ulquiorra would make such an obedient servant. He couldn't stop laughing as he turned away from the screen. Nnoitra would love to hear about their little puppet.

Szayel walked down the hallway towards a room that he knew almost as well as his own. Destruction got Nnoitra turned on, maybe tonight could get even better. Szayel finally reached the door but stopped. He could hear familiar noises, but he had never heard them from this side of the door. Was Nnoitra with someone else?

Szayel pressed his ear against the door, there was no way Nnoitra would take someone other than him! If he had he would kill the bastard that tried to take Nnoitra from him! The sounds were unmistakeable, Szayel nearly crushed the door when he realized it.

There was only one other person that Nnoitra would take to his bed. Szayel would kill that useless Fraccion. Tesra better watch his back!

Szayel sat in his lab. It was the only place he could be sure that no one would disturb him. He had holed up in here after he learned of Nnoitra's betrayal. It was true that hollows weren't supposed to have emotions, he had never wished so much that that was true.

"Hey! You in here?" Noitra yelled opening the door without even knocking.

"What do you want? I told you I was not to be disturbed," Szayel growled, not even turning around to face the other man. There was no way that he would let Nnoitra know that he was acting this way because of him.

"Oh well," Nnoitra laughed walking up to Szayel and placing his arms around the smaller espada, "I got bored," he whispered into Szayel's ear before biting it harshly.

"I'm sure," Szayel growled shoving Nnoitra away from him.

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Nnoitra growled grabbing Szayel and shoving him around so that the two were finally looking at each other.

"I know you are with Tesra," Szayel growled, trying to keep the tears from coming to his eyes, there was no way he would let this sadist see him cry. "I heard the two of you together!"

"Hmm, and I thought you would come and join us," he hissed, his tongue flicking Szayels ear and making the smaller one cringe. "Even when you're mad at me, you want me?"

"No! I would rather be stuck with Grimmjow then have you touch me again!" Szayel yelled before running out of the room. Nnoitra laughed as he watched him leave the room. He knew what Szayel had said wasn't true, he would be back soon enough. He would always come back.

Byakuya paced back and forth across the office. "I understand how you feel..."

"I doubt that," he responded coldly. The head captain and both lieutenants looked at the sixth squad captain surprised, they had never heard him speak like that before.

"Captain, you will remain in the Sereitai until I tell you otherwise, if you leave for any reason I will hold you on treason, we just have too much going on here right now" Old man Yamamoto finished as if Byakuya had never interrupted him.

"Fine," Byakuya turned on his heel and walked out of the office. Renji slowly followed his lover, he knew that Byakuya was pissed and that never lead to anything good. "We can't do anything rash," Renji whispered laying a hand on Byakuya's shoulder.

"We will talk when we return home." Renji was surprised at the coldness in his lover's voice. He had never been this distant towards him. He was not looking forward to them arriving home.

"Mommy! Daddy! Tankara yelled running up to them. Ever since Naoki had been taken she hated it when anybody was out of the house or out of her sight. Neither Byakuya nor Renji knew what to do about it. "Where were you?" she cried clinging on to their legs.

"We went to a meeting, we told you that," Renji whispered picking her up.

"You were gone too long!" she whined hiding her face in his hair.

"Sorry, we won't be leaving for the rest of the day," Byakuya promised kissing her on the top of the head. "Hey, why don't you go play in your room, I have to talk to your daddy." Renji almost didn't want to put Tankara down but making Byakuya wait would make it worse.

"We'll be in our room," Renji promised setting her down before following Byakuya. When they had entered their room Renji quickly closed the door before turning to Byakuya, "Bya!"

"I don't want to hear it," he growled.

"But..."

"I said I don't want to hear it! You never saw him as your son did you?" Renji couldn't believe what he was hearing, was Byakuya serious? "You always thought of him less because he was Aizen's! Maybe you even hated him!"

"How could you think that?" Renji yelled losing any type of control. "I took him in and loved him! He is my child just like Tankara! Don't you dare say that to me!"

"Then how could you abandon him?"

"I never did!

"Really? When Rukia was in trouble you blindly ran in to save her! When Aizen had me you ignored orders and did the same! Now you want to wait until the head captain tells us what we can do even if that takes months?"

"That's different!"

"How?" Byakuya hissed.

"With Rukia and with you I knew enough to get you out safely! Rukia's execution date would not be changed and Aizen would not kill you! We have no idea what Gin is planning! I'm worried that he is waiting for us to run in there with no back up! What will happen to Naoki then? Maybe Gin is waiting to kill him right in front of us! He is sick enough to do that!"

Byakuya was silent, his anger and energy had run out and he no longer knew what to do. Renji was right, he laughed to himself, when had Renji become the reasonable one in their relationship? "Sorry," he whispered, his head dropping to Renji's shoulder.

"Don't be," Renji whispered dropping his head on top of Byakuya's, "I want Naoki back just as much and this waiting is killing me."
