Alright'y the 7th chapter is up. Hope y'all enjoy this for, once again, I do not have a proofreader and if anyone wants to be it then let me know in the comments or P.M me. Once again I have dyslexia so there will be spelling mistakes and lots of grammar problems. Also some characters are very OOC. Enjoy the chapter.
"..."
"Well?" Ichigo asked impatiently. Aizen continued to hold his stare at Ichigo but said nothing. Ichigo tapped his foot on the floor and folded his arms. "What number am I going to have?"
"I am going to be making you my number zero... Yammy my original Zero will be demoted and will remain as my tenth. even though his Resurrection form is quite powerful I do believe you are much more fitting for this number. Are you pleased by the number I have given you?" Aizen asked Ichigo.
"I don't really care what number you put me as to be frank. But I do like the idea of you understand and acknowledging my strength. So yeah... Thanks... Aizen." Ichigo started to fiddle with his hair out of embarrassment. Aizen chuckled at Ichigo's antics and waved his hand in a dismissive manner. When Ichigo didn't move from his spot Aizen was, for an instant, shocked but he quickly understood and his expression changed to that of an understanding.
"You may leave Ichigo." Aizen smiled.
"Wait... That's all you wanted to tell me?" Ichigo asked.
"Why... yes, that is all. Why did you want to talk about something?" Aizen tilted his head.
"N-no. I was just wondering why you would have to bring me all the way to your throne from for something like that... Also I kinda expected like... A party, or something. but okay... When will my number be placed on me?"
"In dew time. Do not worry about it so much Ichigo-kun. I will tell Szayel about it and we will make proper arraignments. You may leave."
Ichigo sighed, waved his hand and left Aizen's room only to realize he had no idea how to get back to the training ground or his room. Ichigo was lost in Hueco Mundo once again.
For about forty minutes or so Ichigo was wondering around lost Notches completely lost. He turned a corner and found himself right back at Aizen's throne room doors. Sighing in frustration Ichigo rubbed the back of his head and pressed on taking a different root this time. About five feet down the hall Ichigo could here people talking. Hope of no longer being lost, filled up his soul and ran over to the owners of the voices.
"... Szayel has been sneaking off to the world of the living more than usual huh?" The first voice spoke up.
"Yes, and when I caught him just before heading off again I asked him why he was going there. All he answered with was, "I have found someone interesting and I would like to get my hands on him." And then he disappeared in the Gargantua." The second voice chimed in.
"And he didn't give you a name of this... "Guy" he was interested in?" Asked the first voice.
"No, he vanished before I could ask." The voices where getting quieter and quieter and Ichigo guessed they were leaving. Not wanting to be lost again he followed them. But when he was close to seeing them they vanished and left Ichigo to himself. Ichigo scoffed and continued on the path he was on. Rounding corner after corner Ichigo finally managed to fined a door that didn't belong to Aizens throne room. He knocked and waited for someone to answer. He could here movement inside and waited. Not two seconds latter the door swung open and Ichigo was engulfed by two strong arms and his face was squishing against something soft. when he looked over he noticed he was getting hugged by a women. A large women and it was getting more and more difficult to breath.
"Itygoooo~" The women screamed in Ichigo's ear.
"Let me go I can't breath!" Ichigo yelled and struggled to get out of the women's grip. The girls grip only increased and it Ichigo couldn't move. 'Wait... Itsygo? I know someone who called me that.' Ichigo stopped struggling and looked up at the girl. The first thing he noticed was her green teal looking hair and the white mask on the top of her head. A broken mask... That looks a lot like... "NEL!?" Ichigo screamed.
"Nel is so happy Itsygo came to visit me Nel thought you have forgotten all about her." Nel wailed and streams of tears were gushing out of her eyes and landing on Ichigo's head making his hair all wet. Nel's hold on Ichigo didn't falter and Ichigo went limp out of instinct. This however caused Nel to freak out and start to shake Ichigo ruffly. Ichigo's head lolled back and forth, every time his head came down his teeth would clatter and make odd noises.
"Nelliel it would be in your best interest to let Ichigo go. unless you want a friend without a head." A calm feminine voice boomed from across the hall. Nel looked up at the new comer, and let Ichigo go. Taking a few steps back as if she was shocked about what she did.
"Nel got to carried away. Nel loves Itsygo so much She couldn't help herself." Nel smiled and helped Ichigo up and brought him into her chambers along with the new comer who Ichigo still has not figured out just who it was. Though he had is suspicions. When he was placed on a very comfortable chair he looked around the room and socked up his surrounding like a sponge. Like usual everything was stark white except for the blankets on the neatly laid out bed. Which were black. He looked back at Nel and the women who was standing next to her... Blond... Yup just who he thought it was... Halibel.
"Nel's sorry Itsygo, Nel was unaware that she was hurting you." Nel was looking down at her feet and avoiding eye contact.
"It's okay Nel. We haven't seen each other in a long time. And I was wondering what happened to you. I'm just glad your not hurt." Ichigo smiled and stood up. "Why do you look older...?"
"oh right. Nel forgot to tell you. Nel was once a espada, but stuff happened and Nel got hurt. Then Nel lost all her memories and was left with Pesche and Dondochakka to fend for our selves in Hueco Mundo. But Aizen restored Nel to her true self and gave me all my memories back." Nel finished her quick explanation and raised her hands above her head in a victory manner.
"Wait... "stuff happened"? what stuff?" Ichigo asked.
"Oh... Just stuff with Nnoitra. Buts it's okay I'm all better now. And really happy that Itsygo has come to pay me a visit." Nel was about to rush over to Ichigo and crush him again when Halibel grabbed onto her caller and pulled her back.
"You need to calm your self Neliel, You might cause him harm... Again." Halibel muttered the last part under her breath.
"Why do you keep calling her Nelliel?" Ichigo asked Halibel.
Halibel looked up at Ichigo and sighed. "You two have known each other how long and you don't know her full name?" Halibel sighed. "Her name is Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck, former espada number three." Ichigo's eyes widened and turned to Nel who was beaming in Halibel's grasp.
"You're the third espada?" Ichigo nearly screamed.
"Former." Halibel quickly corrected. Nel stood up and patted her new clothes clean. They were white and the shirt was simple, it went down past her hips and fluffed out and had a black belt. And her pants looked like regular human bootcut pants. Her zanpakuto was fastened to her hip. A green zanpakuto which he failed to notice until now.
"Aizen dragged you away from training, is this correct Ichigo?" Halibel asked. "What did he want?" Ichigo looked up at her and then sat down again making himself comfortable.
"He told me what number I will be. And he is going to schedule a date with Szayel about when to put it on me. I'm going to be the number zero espada apparently." Nel shrieked, ran over to him and hugged him.
"Wow congratulations Itsygo Nel is proud of you. Though Nel is not surprised you where ranked so high." Ichigo reluctantly hugged her back and let a small smile grace his features.
"Yes Ichigo congratulations are in order. thought this only means your missions are going to be twice as hard and you will probably have to deal with Arrancars constantly asking to fight you for your rank... So that means your training is not yet over. You still don't know how to use a Cero. But no matter Me and my fractions will help you." Halibel bowed. "I will be taking my leave then." And with that Halibel left Ichigo and Nel in Nel's room alone.
"Wheres Pesche or Dondochakka?" Ichigo couldn't help but notice the peace and quiet.
"Oh they are getting food ready. Do you want to stay for food?" Nel stood up and held out her hand. Ichigo smiled again, nodded and took her hand while standing up. They walked into the kitchenette and saw Pesche cooking and Dondochakka placing the table. They looked over in unison.
"Oh Ichigo how nice of you to show up invited now we wont have left overs." Pesche said in the most happy tone Ichigo has ever heard him speak.
Dondochakka simply placed an extra plat and pulled out a chair for Nel to sit on. Ichigo sighed and joined in the meal and lively conversation that boomed around the room. After they were done eating Ichigo asked for help to get back to his room which Nel was more than thrilled to incline, claiming she demanded to know where Ichigo's room was. After about twelve minutes of trying to find Ichigo's room and getting lost very often they eventually found it thanks to Grimmjows help. Ichigo said his good byes to the ones he would now call friends and closed the door. He looked around and noticed the food Menoly or Loly brought in. 'Shit... what should I do? Should I eat it? But I am rather full... Gah what should I do?' Ichigo thought to himself as he rubbing and lightly scratching his head. "Meh. I'll just leave it and explain what happened to one of them tomorrow. Don't want them to think I skipped a meal, or worry them." Ichigo mumbled to himself washed up and went to bed. 'Tomorrow I will get stronger and closer to seeing my friends and family once again.' With that in mind Ichigo fell asleep smiling.
