Aizen rewound the recording of the night's battle for the 16th time in a row. The built in camera in her necklace caught footage of everything Ichigo had witnessed personally. He was somewhat discouraged at the sight of Ichigo trying to warn Jinta to run away from watching the fight, esspecially seeing how she caught attacked from behind as it happened, but considering he's kept her true identity secret for all this time, he knew it was his own fault for his daughter's ambush.

The entire time he watched, the only thing he paid most attention to was towards the end. He couldn't believe the strange being that had suddenly appeared, demanding Ichigo. He knew that there was something odd about the being in general as far as the way it was dressed and how it appeared from the straneg portal. He couldn't quite put his finger on it, but he knew there was something familiar about the strange creature that he just couldn't figure out. He suddenly lost his train of thought as he heard the sounds of footsteps coming. He quickly turned off the recording just as the door opened, with Neliel coming inside.

"You wanted to see me, Aizen?" Neliel asked a bit curiously. Aizen gave a soft smile as he nodded. Neliel simply closed the door behind her as she walked a bit closer to his throne.

"How is my daughter doing?" He asked.

"Well, last I checked on her, she was still doing fine, but she's tossing a bit and once in awhile moaning in pain." Neliel replied, sounding somewhat worried towards the end. "I'm not sure what's wrong with her arm but she keeps complaining about it burning every now and then." She added. Aizen closed his eyes as he let everything soak in.

He was glad that his daughter was safe and sound, but what worried him and caused his uneasiness was the pain Neliel mentioned she kept moaning. The blast simply touched her before they got her and Grimmjow out of there in time, yet for it to continue hurting this much must indicate some form of strong power that the strange being had. Another indication was when Grimmjow tried to fight off the stranger. He could understand he was held back as he needed to protect Ichigo as well, but even then, for a number 6th espada to have a problem facing a creature such as this shows just how dangerous this thing could be.

"Do you know what that thing was sir?" Neliel asked, just as confused about what the strange creature was. Aizen gave out a sigh as he shook his head.

"Unfortunately, I do not. I still have Szayel running diagnostics on the scenario, but for the time being, no information has been gathered. But that isn't the reason I called you here." Aizen stated, growing a confused look on Neliel's face.

"What do you mean?" She asked.

"There are two things currently that we will have to do. One, Ichigo must go back to the living world." Neliel looked closely as Aizen closed his eyes a bit, seeeming to be having trouble in his thoughts. "First off, Ichigo is going back to the human wor..." Aizen was cut off by a loud interruption from Neliel, but managed to maintain an inner peace.

"WHAT?!" She stammered in anger (never mind the peace P_P...). "How could you send her back after what's happened to her? Don't you think she's been through enough?!" She stammered, breathing deeply from saying all of that in one breath. Normally, Aizen would completely either force an arracnar to their knees with his riatsu and cause them to suffocate for a few seconds, or kill them on spot. However, he could completely understand Neliel's anger, esspecially since she's been the most motherly towards Ichigo, and decided to let it slide for now.

"Refrain from using that voice again." Aizen said, softly but sternly. Neliel just blinked a bit to herself before lowering her head, realizing how she over reacted way to much. "I don't like the plan anymore than you do, but if we refuse to it presents a problem." Aizen stated, growing a confused look on Neliel's face.

"What do you mean?" She asked.

"Quite simple. We've had two arrancar attacks on the same day a new student arrives. If she ends up missing, suspicion will increase around her and our plans will be utterly ruined. Not to mention I suspect Urahara already has high suspicion over her, and will know for a fact she's behind it if she isn't back." He replied.

Neliel sighed bitterly and upsettingly to herself as she crossed her arms together. What Aizen had stated made perfect sense. There would be way to much suspicion if she doesn't go back tomorrow, and the fact that she's on high suspicion from someone as it is isn't really good either. Still, it bothered her having to send her own daughter back after just getting back, not to mention badly injured.

"Well what was the second thing you wanted to tell me?" Neliel asked curiously...

Ichigo tossed and turned a bit in her bed. Her fever had finally been back down, but she still ended up breaking her arm partially, and she still felt somewhat sore in the head from her fever. The entire time she rested, Grimmjow stood right next to the door inside the room, leaning against it and waiting for her to wake up. He was still feeling guilty about not being able to protect Ichigo from the battle the other night, and knew she would've at least gone without a broken arm if he got her out of there sooner. He looked back towards the door as he heard someone knocking on it.

"Hello? Grimmjow, open the door." Neliel commanded. Grimmjow just growled a bit to himself as he did what the 3rd espada asked of him, not showing any refusal. "How is she doing?" Neliel asked concerned.

"HellI know." Grimmjow grunted. "Anyway, what do you want?" Grimmjow asked sternly.

"We've got to wake her up." Neliel answered as she began to walk toawrds the bed. She stopped as Grimmjow grabbed her by the shoulder a bit roughly.

"I'm not letting you wake her. Who even gave you the authority to do so when she's resting anyway?!" Grimmjow stammered. Neliel's expression changed to a bit of anger as she slapped his hand away.

"First off, I'm practically her mother after all the years I've spent raising her. Second of all, I don't want to anymore than you do, but it's sir Aizen's orders." Neliel snarled, walking back towards Ichigo's bed. She smiled a bit as she sat on the edge of the bed, gently shaking Ichigo's shoulder a bit. "Ichigo sweetie, wake up." Neliel said softly. Ichigo moaned a bit as she turned to her other side. "C'mon honey, you gotta get up." She said again. This time Ichigo opened her eyes a bit, turning back and smiling as she saw Grimmjow and her mother in the room.

"Hi...mommy..." She said quietly. Her eyes were half opened, only they didn't show as much pain as they had before, which was a good sign, although there was still pain in her voice as she spoke.

"How are you feeling?" She asked kindly. Ichigo gave a slight yawn a bit before she replied.

"A little fine...I guess..." She replied in the same semi-pain-filled voice as before. "Head's hurting...though..." She added. Neliel just gave a soft, gentle, smile as she gently brushed Ichigo's hair out of her eyes.

"Well hun, I got some good news and bad news unfortunately." Neliel commented, catching Ichigo's attention. Grimmjow gritted his teeth a bit as he took another step closer, tightening his fist as he did.

"W-What is it?" Ichigo asked curiously. Neliel smiled a bit even though she gave a small frown at the same time.

"The bad news is that you have to go back to the human world..." Neliel said a little depressingly. Grimmjow's eyes widened at this, shocked that she could say that. Did they really expect her to be completely safe after what happened the other night? Grimmjow thought to himself. What's more, he couldn't believe he was hearing it from Ichigo's own mother as well, shocked that she would agree to something like this. He didn't bother looking at Ichigo, knowing that she was just as surprised as well, yet the expression on her face still seemed to remain in pain.

"What's the...other news?" Ichigo asked bleakly...
