~Chapters 10~
Ichigo smiled as he walked through his new palace, Las Noches. As he walked he liked how one unfamiliar with it's structure would easily get lost in its numerous identical halls. He walked by a large set of solid marble that was decievingly light and easy to open. When he did he grinned at what he found. "The throne room perfect. Hmmmm seems abit, bare." He frowned in distaste. Needs more colour, and a new location. He smiled as he rembered there was a control room somewhere for the entire fortress of Las Noches.
-with Toshiro Shuuhei and Ulquiorra-
Toshiro stood amazed at the grandness of the fortress. Even the Seireitei wasn't as beautiful as Las Noches. "So since we will be living here where will we stay?" He then pointed his finger between him and Shuuhei. Shuuhei leaned up against the wall as he waited." Ulquiorra simply walked a few feet down before turning to the left his pushed into the wall and a door like opening was created. "Most laws of physics do not exist in the boundaries of Las Noches." he then turned and walked over to the other side of the hall and did as he had and another door appeared.
Shuuhei being the less mature,"DIBS ON LEFT!" He shouted as he went left not realizing the door was no longer there making him not only run into the wall but fall on his ass. As he stood up he looked to Ulquiorra."What the hell!? Where'd the door go?" Ulquiorra nodded, "To access a room you must place your spiritual pressure into the door then it becomes yours forever as long as you live inside Las Noches that is." Shuuhei nodded now understanding. "Gotcha. So I do like so..." he placed his hand against the wall and flowed reiatsu into the wall and a door appeared."...and boom. My room." he smiled as he walked in then, it turned into a frown s he looked at the white room everything was white, the bed, the carpet, the night stand, the table, the blankets, every thing was pure white. Shuuhei turned around and looked at Ulquiorra with a 'your joking' face. "The fuck? Why is everything so white?"
Ulquiorra walked into the room and leaned over the 'desk' this desk has a list of things for you to change your room to your wishes. Almost everything you can think of is available." Shuuhei could only whipser, "sweet" He ran into his room and pushed Ulquiorra aside and started inputting commands.
"Every thing you order will take while to get since procurement is difficult at the moment." Shuuhei nodded in understanding. 'It's better then nothing" He said as he kept clicking the keys to the computer.
Ulquiorra turned around and exited the hall with Hitsugaya, when he did so he noticed that all the walls were no longer white but where blue with purple banners with gold trim. "How fitting of Las Noches' new king. Purple is the the color of Royalty and his Zanpakuto uses reiatsu in the form of water. It seems he has found the Throne Room then." He turned to the ex soul reaper captain"The Throne Room, where ever Lord Kaien has relocated it, will be where we will meet with him every day to plan our ccourse of actions. As far as I have been informed, today's plan was to get the new members of Lord Kaiens army to get used to the functions of Las Noches." He then turned and walked away to consult with Kaien.
~Few minutes later, new location of the Throne Room~
Ulquiorra pushed the now solid gold doors covered with purple, as he entered the new Throne Room what he saw actually filled him with a very slight sense of suprise. The golden and purple doors he had entered where merely a sense of tradition for the new Throne Room was in the center of the vast desert inside of Las Noches. The Throne its self was in the center of a large square mile that was framed by four walls each having a gold and purple door. Surrounding the Throne Chair, were multiple tiers of teal blue marble at different heights, each having a ornate chair of black marble with silver swirls. A special device, assuredly created by Urahara made it so that Ichigo would seem to be sitting facing any onlooker, when in reality Kaien could only see foward which is why Ulquiorra was placed behind him.
As his second in command, along side Kisuke Urahara, he was to be placed behind him to prevent any would be assailants from reaching him via his blind spot. As he approached he noticed Ichigo madly tapping on the blue and purple keyboard that in short controled Las Noches. "Ah Ulquiorra you have come to see how I have changed the Throne room no?" Ulquiorra nodded and said yes. He noticed the very special and ornate Throne he sat in compared to Aizen's plain white throne. Leading to the ornate throne were several statues of a beautiful woman in a robe that accentuated her curves. Each of the statues, Ulquiorra noticed, held a relpicant version of Lord Kaien's very on Zanpakuto, Nejibana.
When he finally got close enough, beffore he kneeled in respect, he noticed the chair was mostly a bright teal marble speckled and swirled with purple and black patters. In the top of the Thrones back was an array of Golden Crowned human-esque skulls.(Imagine a row of barragan's release's skull.) Leading to the Throne was a bright distinct purple carpet.
"Lord Kaien, I have introduced Toshiro Hitsugaya and Shuuhei Hisagi to Las Noches and it's basic workings as you instructed, while Grimmjow doe sthe same for the rest of our new guests." Kaien nodded as he pushed the keyboard and attached screen away. It oddly 'disappeared' as he did so. " Very good Ulquiorra, the sooner we get Las Noches back up and running the better, I want to be searching for soldiers to help fight the soul society." Ulquiorra nodded for he too agreed. " What will our next course of action be?" Ichigo thought for a bit before he stood up. " We will look for two to three adjuchas in the menos forest or in the dunes of Heuco Mundo." He started to walk around to the back of the Throne, " We need to have a loyal subject that can recruit more hollows or arrancar for us. Right now we barely stand a chance. If I was to use Segunda Mugetsu I would still be killed like cow to the slaughter house." He shook his head in annoyance." No we need more arrancar but I don't want any one thinking they can go and grab a new Hogyoku and think they can rule everything and everyone. I'll see if Urahara can make one that will only respond to me, you and of course himself. That would be a excellent idea." Ulquiorra agreed, he too did not want another Aizen. He was brought out of his thoughts though as Kaien continued. "I need you to go andbring my Yoruichi and Soi Fon," he leaned on his left arm as he brought his left knuckle to his cheek. "I need them to do a few things for me." with that Ulquiorra disappeared with a buzz. Kaien smiled as he thought about how things were going he got rid of that annoying girl Rukia, he eliminated the only other briliant mind that could oppose Kisuke. He had one of the fastest fighters that was alive to date. He didn't need to worry about any more Quincies due to Uryu's death. No more Chad. No more Renji. No more Orihime. No more family. No more.."No!" Kaien rose as fast as lightning. " Dammit!" Kaien then began to Sonido and Shunpo as fast as he could towards the nearing presence of one Kisuke Urahara. When he got into the same long hall as the genius was, he stopped moving and instead started walking at a breakneck pace."Oh hello my dear fearless-!" His playfull mood was reduced to ash as he saw the fearful and angry face on Kaien. "I need to get into the Soul !" Kisuke merely waved his hands in a calm down gesture. "What's gotten into you? Why do you need to get into the soul SocietY?" He tilted his head as he waited for Ichigo to respond. " Kukakku Shiba, my sister. I got caught up in the proclamation of the war against the Soul Society that I forgot to find her before we left. Dammit I am an absolute idiot!" Kisuke placed his hand on Kaien's shoulder. "Calm down I can open a Senkaimon in the West Rukongai. I can have Yoruichi and Soi Fon acompany you since they are stealth experts so they can make sure your never spotted by any soul reapers. I will join as well, while you find kukakku I will take Nemu and storm Mayuri's Data as well as try to enter the Deireisho Archive's I want to get as much of my data while I'm in there. With Nemu copying and erasing all existence of Mayuri's data will be easier." Kaien nodded as he stopped and released the breath he didn't know he was holding.
He nodded and walked back to his throne.
~with Yoruichi and Soi Fon~
The two were walking towards their new room that they had already been introduced to and they had started to decorate it. "Lady Yoruichi, are you sure you can trust working with Arrancars and Hollows?" asked Soifon as she walked beside Yoruichi, she glanced at the walls that had just changed a few minutes ago, secretly enjoying the blue and purple theme of the fortress. "If Kisuke is willing to trust Ichigo, Kaien, or um what ever his name is now. Then I am as well. Besides," she turned to face," It means we don't have to worry about work or have responsibilities."She hugged Soifon and ran of to their room leaving the ex squad 2 captain with a blush and a puzzled look.
~Grimmjow~
Grimmjow walked down the halls of the new Las Noches. Feeling like throwing up due to the new colour scheme. " I need to remember the only reason I follow him is because he saved me and I've been promised fighting." He shook his head, he laughed to himself as he thought of all the battles to come. 'Only a matter of time. Before I take Ichigo of his throne and rule Heuco Mundo." He started to laugh crazily as he walked down the hall.
~AN/ well thats it for this chapter, I've given the run down of the appearance of Ichigo/Kaien's new base of Operations. As I've said I am going to take a break but I might break that and keep posting chapters any way. If you have any questions ask away.~
