RECAP:

Sayuri had finally reached Loly and when she did, she sat down in the same position that Loly was in. Loly watched her with cautious eyes wondering what she was going to do. Sayuri then gave Loly a friendly smile.

"Hello." She said in a gentle bell-like voice. "My name is Sayuri Yamura. Would you like to be my fracción?"

Okay, It took a little bit to write this chapter because we no longer have chapters of the story pre-written. We're making it up as we go now. We hope you like it :)

(Sayuri & Números POV)

Sayuri just sat there waiting for Loly's answer, but didn't receive one right away. 'I-Is this chick serious?' Loly thought to herself. 'Why would she want me to be her fracción, after the way I looked at her, how could she not dislike me?' she thought confused. It was starting to creep Loly out the way Sayuri was smiling. She's too nice. She sort of looked like Gin at the moment with her wide grin and squinted eyes. Loly still was silent, making Sayuri's smile drop a bit and open her eyes.

"Umm...anytime you want to say something, feel free." she said chuckling a little bit.

"Y-You're serious" said Loly. It wasn't a question. Sayuri gave her a strange look.

"Uh..Yeah. Why would I joke about that?" she asked her looking serious.

"I-I don't know. Maybe because I was a bitch to you." Loly said sarcastically. Sayuri let out a small laugh surprising Loly.

"You weren't really. All you did was give me harsh looks. In my book, you're only a bitch if you try to start something by insulting or hurting me." Sayuri said with her small smile. Loly wasn't really sure of what to say, so all she could say was

"Oh." Sayuri nodded awkwardly.

"Yeeeah. So what to do say? You know, about being my fracción"

"Oh yeah. About that-" Loly started looking away from her.

"Before you say no, I just want to let you know that there's nothing going on between me and Aizen." Loly's eyes shot back to Sayuri's at that moment. She could feel the knot in her stomach again.

"Why are you telling me this?" she asked trying to sound nonchalant.

"Because I know how you feel about him. I'm sorry that you're upset about what happened earlier. It's not like that between him and I. I think of him more as a father than a boyfriend." she said winking. "I personally think that you two would make a great couple." Loly was speechless again. Menoly wasn't even this nice to her. She wasn't used to it.

"Th-Thank you." Loly said. 'I...was wrong about her. She's different than the others. She seems too nice to be an Espada.' Loly then looked down at the floor again before speaking.

"Alright." she said in a shaky voice.

"Alright what?"

"Alright, I'll be your fracción." She said looking back up at her with a soft smile. 'Wow, that smile was unexpected.' Gin thought watching the whole thing.

"I'm so glad." Sayuri said smiling. She then stood and held a hand out to Loly. Loly hesitated before taking it. When she helped her up, the both of them walked over to where Aizen and the números were standing. Loly was a little scared to walk in that direction. She was still nervous about Aizen. She didn't even realize that she was was walking two and a half feet behind Sayuri, but Sayuri noticed right away. 'Aww. She's still nervous.' she thought. Sayuri then chuckled and grabbed Loly's wrist, pulling her next to her. Suddenly, Loly gasped and her knees gave out. Sayuri looked worriedly at her.

"Are you ok-" she started, but then realized what was going on. She had accidently 'took' her.

"I'm so sorry. I promise I didn't try to." She said supporting Loly's weight with her arms.

"Wha-What did you just do to me?" she asked drowsily. 'She probably did this to get back at me for glaring. But...she really does look sorry.'

"I'll explain it to you later. Just know that I'm sorry and it wasn't intentional." Sayuri said steadying Loly on her feet.

"It's alright, I can stand." Loly said cringing a little bit away from her. Sayuri smiled apologetically at her and they continued walking.

"Well, I see you have chosen your fracción." Aizen said When they were in arms distance. Sayuri looked at him and smiled.

"How sweet." Gin chuckled. Sayuri stuck her tongue out at him.

"I must be going now. I have something I have to do." Aizen said putting a hand on her shoulder. Sayuri didn't ask any questions, she just nodded. Aizen then turned and started walking towards the door.

"You can walk any where in Las Noches you like. Just be careful." He said before leaving the room completely. 'Be careful?' Sayuri thought 'Does he mean...of the intruders?'. Her thoughts were interrupted by Menoly hurrying towards the door after Aizen had left.

"Um.. Master Sayuri?" Loly said. Sayuri's eyes widened at what Loly had just called her.

"Master?" She said flattered. Loly looked down again.

"Yes. When an Espada chooses they're fracción, they're fracción must then address them as their master because they are meant to serve them. It shows respect towards them." This made Sayuri smile.

"I appreciate your respect, but you don't have to call me that if you don't want to."

"No...I want to." Loly said with a smile. Sayuri was touched and glad that Loly seemed to be feeling better.

"Forgive me. I must be going too." Loly said and followed after Menoly. Sayuri stood there confused. She turned and looked at Gin for an answer. He smiled wider knowing what she was thinking.

"Both Menoly and Loly are kind of two of Aizen's guards. They have a hard time leaving him unprotected even though he's capable of taking care of himself."

"Oooooh. Understood." Sayuri chuckled. Gin walked closer to her.

"I too have to leave. I'm curious to see how our intruders are progressing. I will see you soon." Unexpectedly, Gin leaned down to kiss her on the forehead and then disappeared. 'Gottcha' he thought happily. Sayuri just stood there wide-eyed and blushing. The other números stood there smirking at her.

"Well, now that all the drama is over...It's nice to meet you! My names Luppi. Luppi Antenor." Said Luppi leaning down to kiss Sayuri's hand. 'Jeeze why is everybody kissing my body?' she thought. 'Well, at least I don't have to worry about this guy having a thing for me.'

"Um..I'm Sayuri Yamura. it's nice to meet you too." She couldn't help but smile. This guy seemed so nice.

"What a beautiful name. And might I say, you're so cu-"

"Ugh! If you call me cute, I'm going to kick you!" she yelled. Sayuri really didn't see how cute she was, and it was getting a little annoying hearing it over and over. Luppi stood there stunned. A few of the others chuckled. He cleared his throat before speaking again.

"I'm sorry. Then let me say, you're gorgeous." That was a little better. She smiled.

"Thanks. So are you" she giggled. There was a roar of laughter from the others, but Luppi really took it as a very nice compliment and it made him giggle.

"Well, thank you!" He said cheerfully. "Please. I would love to be one of your fracción."

"R-Really?" she asked surprised.

"Yes, really. PLEEEEASE?" he begged. Sayuri let out a small laugh.

"Yeah. Okay, sure." she said happily. She could already tell that Luppi and her were going to be good friends.

"Alright!" he jumped up in excitement.

"I think two is enough." Sayuri said not trying to be rude.

"C'mon! Master Sayuri." Luppi said winking and flashing out of the room with Sayuri in his arms. 'Jeeze! this guy is somethin else.'

The others stood there not knowing what to do now.

"How can she not want me as one of her fracción?" Aisslinger complained jealous.

"Maybe because she could sense that you're weak. I mean c'mon, you almost got yourself killed today by the intruders. You already got Demoura killed." Lilynette said to him rolling her eyes.

Aisslinger grumbled.

"Demoura was an idiot, and that fancy pants with the glasses caught me off guard."

"Don't make excuses. She's picked her fracción, and you were able to get away from the intruders somehow. Just let everything go." said Menis annoyed with Aisslinger.

"Whatever." He said in a low tone before he dissapeared. Soon enough everyone else made their way out of the throne room and carried on with their own business.

Meanwhile, Luppi was still carrying Sayuri through the halls.

"Ah! Luppi let go!" She yelled hitting in the head, and making him drop her.

"OW!" he said rubbing his head.

"Sorry, but what the hell was that about? Grabbing me and running." She said with her arms crossed.
"I just wanted to leave that room. I hate being in crowded spaces. Also, I think we should get to know each other."

"But the throne room is huge. There's lots of space to-"

"Anywaaaays. Want me to take you to your room?" He interrupted. Sayuri was tired of people interrupting her, so when Luppi did it, she kicked him. Luppi flew into the wall. 'I'm sorry. This isn't like me, but I made a promise to myself that I would toughen up.' she said mentally.

"Please don't interrupt me." she said in a gentle tone. "Forgive me if I hurt you."

Luppi stood up shocked and dusted himself off. He surprised her by chuckling.

"I'm fine. No need to apologize. I'm actually glad that you're tougher than you look." Sayuri smiled blushing.

"Actually, I'm not all that tough. I'm trying to get used to it. I'm way too soft."

"Well then, you're off to a good start." He said fixing his hair and then putting his hands on his waist. Sayuri giggled this and he looked at her confused.

"I'm sorry, but can I ask you something?"

"Um..sure."

"This is only because I'm really curious. But..are you...um..are you g-" She couldn' t get it out. She didn't want to sound rude. She wasn't even sure why she was curious about this.

Luppi smiled, knowing what she was wondering.

"It's alright. You can say it. Yes, I'm gay." Sayuri blushed deeper looking at her feet.

"Oh." she felt embarrassed.

"Really, don't worry about it. It's not like it's an insult. I mean, it's pretty obvious isn't it?" Sayuri shrugged still feeling a little embarrassed, but she let the subject drop.

"So, now that you've asked me a question, can I ask you one?" He said smirking

" Of course. It's the least I can do for asking you something as personal as that."

"Please don't worry about it. But I was just curious as well. How old are you? Physically I mean." Sayuri was caught off guard by his question. Luppi smiled at her puzzled expression.

"Like I said, I want to get to know you better. Master." Sayuri smiled and thought about it for a second.

"Well, I guess physically I'm about fifteen." She said 'Just like I thought. She's just a..kid.' he thought.

"Yeah, I thought you looked young. Only, for a fifteen year old, you have a really big bust. " Luppi said laughing a little. Sayuri's eyes widened in even more embarrassment. She didn't know what to say to that, so she changed the subject.

"Sooooo, what did you mean by showing my room?" Luppi laughed, but went along with it.

"I meant exactly what I said. I know where it is. While Lord Aizen was out looking for you, he had some of his servants have a room ready for you when you came." 'Wow, Aizen sure is organized.' Sayuri thought. 'Hmm. Maybe I should start calling him Lord Aizen too. I wonder if I'm being disrespectful not doing so.'

"That's very nice, but I think I'm going to take Ai- Lord Aizen's offer and look around for a bit. Just to familiar myself." Luppi nodded.

"Alright. Have fun and be careful, we have intruders and they're getting closer so be on your guard." he said with a smile before dissapearing. 'People here really like to run fast don't they?' 'I just noticed this, but I'm sort of being taught by my own fracción. Isn't that weird?' she said mentally.

"Ugh! I'm thinking to myself again! I'm so weird. Ugh! now I'm talking to myself! Ah! I just did it again. Crap. Stop it! Stop it!" to shut herself up, Sayuri clamped her hand over her mouth. 'Damn I'm losing it. I think it's just stress, lots of stuff to learn.' she thought feeling embarrassed even though she was the only one in the hallway at the moment.

"Just let it go."

Sayuri took a breath before walking down the opposite hallway the Luppi ran down.

In order to memorize the hallways, Sayuri observed very closely at every little detail she saw. The shapes of the windows, How many pillars were in each hallway that she turned down, even the tiles. One of the marble tiles had a design that looked a little like a skull.

"Well, that will be easy to remember." She said to herself. Suddenly, behind her, Sayuri heard faint footsteps. She didn't realize how far she had walked. Sayuri panicked as the footsteps grew closer. It now sounded like there were two pairs of feet walking. Quickly, Sayuri did the first thing that came to her mind and jumped behind a pillar to hide. 'Why am I hiding? Don't I live here now? I should be able to walk around here anytime I want.' But she still couldn't bring herself to move out in the open. Instead, she just peeked over a little bit from behind the pillar. Her eyes widened and her stomach was fluttery when she saw who's footsteps it was.

"Ul-Ulquiorra." she said softly not wanting to be caught. 'Why is it that when ever I see this guy, I go all weak in the knees?' she thought trying to get rid of the feeling she had. 'I wonder...could I already have feelings for him? Impossible' her thoughts were interrupted when she noticed something else. 'Who's that girl? Is she..human?' Sayuri watched as the orange-haired girl in a school uniform followed closely behind Ulquiorra. She then gasped when she realized who the girl was. 'That's the girl...that Lord Aizen kidnapped. She's so..pretty.' Sayuri thought feeling sorry for the girl. 'Does she know that her friends are here to save her- wait. What the hell is she doing?' She suddenly thought. She saw that the girl had reached for Ulquiorra's hand and held it close to her chest, which by the way was huge! 'Hers can't be bigger than mine! Not by a long shot!' she said jealously and mentally. Sayuri then saw something that made get a sharp pain in her chest. She then saw Ulquiorra pull the girl into a short embrace.

"N-n-no way." she murmured broken. She was really confused to why she felt this way. She just met the guy! No, she didn't even meet him, she just saw him. Either way, it hurt, and she didn't want to feel this way. Sayuri was still curious and tried to listen in on their soft whispers.

"There is no need to worry. Lord Aizen just wants to talk to you." He whispered in the girl's ear. The girl took a deep breath and nodded before releasing Ulquiorra. Then the both of them entered through a tall door. 'Aizen is there? How'd he get all the way over her- well, he did leave before I did.' she thought, but then her thought went right back to Ulquiorra and the girl. 'How could he have a relationship with a human? Does Lord Aizen know about this?' Sayuri was even more confused than before. Suddenly she heard a door slam making her jump. She peeked over again to see Loly and Menoly storming out of the room.

"That girl! What is up with her?" Loly growled. Menoly didn't seem as upset but still had a strong frown on. The two of them stomped out of sight and she saw that Ulquiorra was slowly walking out of the room after them.

"Oh Loly, you really are the jealous type." Sayuri accidently said out loud wanting to go and comfort Loly. But she then realized what she'd done, and quickly shot her eyes back in Ulquiorra's direction. He was staring right at her. Sayuri panicked and quickly hid behind the pillar again. 'Crap! Crap! CRAP! he saw me! I got caught. Dammit, I'm screwd.' Sayuri made an effort to calm herself down and took small breaths. She just wanted to see if he was still staring in her direction so she slowly peeked from behind the pillar again. Only not as much as she did last time. Ulquiorra was nowhere in sight.

"Spying are we?" Said a expressionless voice from behind her making her scream. She tried her hardest not to punch him like she had done to Gin.

"Gah! What the hell!" she yelled turning to face Ulquiorra. She put her hand on her chest trying to calm down again.

"My apologizes, but I wouldn't have scared you if you hadn't been spying." He said looking into her eyes. 'Oh my God, his eyes are so beautiful!' Sayuri sighed mentally.

"Well excuuuuse me" Sayuri said gaining back her teenage attitude. "But for your information, I was not spying. I was just watching your every move and listening to every word you were saying while hiding in the shadows." Sayuri almost blurted out laughing at her own words but was able to keep her composure. Ulquiorra took one of his hands out his pocket to pinch the bridge of his nose.

"So, you were spying." He said in the same expressionless tone.

"Please don't kill me." she blurted out. Ulquiorra was actually a little amused at this.

"I won't, but let me just ask you one thing. Why are you here?"

"Oh that's an easy one. Lord Aizen brought me here." She wanted to play with him a little, so she purposely was trying to annoy him. She thought of it as pay back for making her feel what she felt a few seconds ago. Ulquiorra exhaled loudly.

"You know that's not what I meant."

"Well, if you meant why I was in this hallway, it's because I decided to explore Las Noches and familiarize my self with my surroundings. You know, you really should be more specific." She said putting her hands on her hips. Sayuri had succeeded in frustrating him. She felt proud about it.

"You're just a girl version of Grimmjow." He suddenly said. He was on to what she was doing, so he decided to have a little 'fun' himself. That had caught Sayuri off guard, and she couldn't believe that he said that. Grimmjow was the LAST person she wanted to be compared to.

"Wh-wha?-you didn't just say what I think you said." she said angrily. She had the cutest angry face.

"Sorry, do you need me to repeat myself?" he said teasing her. Sayuri was getting angry. 'How dare he turn my own technique of annoyance against me.' she thought. At that moment, Sayuri wasn't thinking. She just wanted to get back at him, so she threw her arms around him, and 'took' him. When she pulled away, she regretted it immediately. The only thing that made her feel a little happy, was that Ulquiorra was a part of her now. She would have giggled if she wasn't worried about him at the moment.

"Oh my God! I'm so sorry...I-" Sayuri didn't know what to do she just watched as Ulquiorra leaned against the pillar for support.

"What..did you just do?" He asked weakly. 'She really is a strange one'

"Sorry, can't answer that! uh...bye!" Then Sayuri dashed down the rest of the hallway trying to get as far away from Ulquiorra as possible. 'He probably hates me! He probably thinks I'm weird!' She was hurting when she thought about how Ulquiorra was going to treat her now. She ached even more when she thought about the beautiful orange haired girl. 'The way he looked at her. He must really care for her.' She thought sadly still running down the hall. She had no idea where she was going, she just wanted to be anywhere but there. Sayuri's sprint slowly turned into a speed walk. 'Woah! Since when can I run so fast? I bet this is how Luppi and Gin leave rooms so fast.' she thought impressed with her new speed. My the time she slowed into a walk, she didn't know where in Las Noches she was. It was definitely not one of the familiar hallways. Her thoughts started to wander back to Ulquiorra again. She begged over and over again in her mind that he wouldn't hate her for what she did to him. But she then remembered that he was a part of her now. With all the excitement that happened earlier, she forgot to tell Aizen about the other part of her ability. She forgot that not only could she morph into others and possess their abilities, but when she turned into them, should could also feel and see what they did if she wanted. 'Maybe Ai-Lord Aizen will train me and help me improve my ability.' she thought excitedly. She really did want to get better. '*gasp* Maybe I can try and see what Ulquiorra is thinking right now.' she thought. She pictured Ulquiorra in her mind and went over all of his beautiful features. Once his image was engraved in her brain, she was ready to morph. Right when her skin was starting to glow, she heard a deafening BOOM! It interrupted her, also making her jump.

"What the hell was that?" She said almost yelling. Out of everything that had made her jump while she was here, that one was the worst. She was still curious to what caused it though, so she dashed in the direction that it came from. When she got to the source of the sound, she was a little late slowing down and she ended up tripping over a stone. She caught herself before she fell but was still a little embarrassed. 'Why the hell is there just a rock in the middle of a hall?' she asked annoyed. But when she looked around, she realized that the whole area was damaged. It looked as though parts of the ceiling had fallen, some of the pillars were cracked, and the tiled floors were severely dented and broken. Suddenly in the middle of Sayuri's observing, she felt a tremendous amount of spiritual pressure coming from behind her.

"Wh-who's?" she started as she turned around, but her words were caught in her throat when she had turned completely around. There was a gigantic hole right in the middle of the wall in front of her. Some one had been fighting here. She could tell that much.

"I can't afford to use my Bankai against just anyone!" yelled a unfamiliar masculine voice from the hole in the wall.

"What the?" Sayuri started walking towards the wall, curious to see who the voice belonged to.

When she walked a little closer, she could see movement behind the space in the wall. Suddenly a bright orange haired teen came into view. Sayuri could see that he had blood running down from his temple to his cheek and he was wearing some kind of black robe. She also noticed that he was holding a gigantic blade in his right hand. 'Oh my Lord!' Sayuri thought 'I-is that his Zanpakutō? Wait, how does he have one?' she thought a little bit. 'Is he what Lord Aizen called 'Shinigami?'' She didn't know how she came to that conclusion. Maybe she's just that smart. She then noticed that the Orange haired teen wasn't the only one in the room behind the broken wall. She noticed that the person that the teen was fighting, was an arrancar. She knew this because he wore an attire similar to the others. This arrancars face was a little more stranger than the others. In a way, he had an evil look to him. It was hard to explain. But he was doing all sorts of weird moves to dodge the teens attacks. Suddenly, something shot into Sayuri's mind.

"Wait. Is this...one of the intruders?" She said to herself. "I thought there were more of them...why would they split up?" Sayuri was confused and at the same time..a little scared.

"AHHHHH! Y-y-y-you're one of Lord Aizen's Arrancars! YOU'RE A BAD GUY!" screeched a high and very annoying little voice. Again, Sayuri jumped. She looked around to see where the voice came from but didn't see anything.

"Um..wh-who said that?" She asked confused.

"Down here!" said the little voice. Sayuri looked down and her eyes widened when a cute little blue-green haired girl wearing a seaweed green gown came into her view.
