Chapter 9: Of love and hate

Tora felt the bed shift as Aizen joined her. Tora wore white shorts and a long black tank top that covered it. Aizen wore only a sweats and that was it. He wrapped his arms around Tora and kissed her cheek. "Hello love." "Hello Aizen." Aizen nuzzled her neck and kissed it. Tora let him. She never tried to fight Aizen because she never put it past him to rape her if she resist. "I love you Tora." She didn't respond. Aizen gently turned her around. Tora looked at him. Aizen softly kissed her. "Smile sweetheart," Aizen murmured. "I can't." "Why not?" "Because you took me from my home, my boyfriend and my friends." Tora wiggled out of Aizen's grasp. She walked to the bathroom. Tora looked in the mirror. She looked the same except her eyes; they lost their spark and fire. She sighed. "Would you like to visit them?" Tora looked at Aizen. "What?" Aizen sighed. Would you like to see your friends and family. I let you go but you must come back to me at the end of the day." "You mean it?" Aizen smiled and embraced Tora. "Yes I do. If that what makes you smile and laugh, I will let you go. I want my queen to be happy," Aizen took a deep breath. "Even if it means you must see your Shinigami friends." "Wait," Tora said. Aizen noted her eyes were getting their fire and spark back. "What's the catch? Beside the fact I have to come back." "Ulquiorra will accompany you." Tora groaned. "No anybody but him!" Aizen laughed at her remark. "He's not that bad. He'll just watch you-." "And interfere every time I start to play fight or spar or I get annoyed." Aizen kissed her nose. He found she acted like a dragon when you kissed her nose. She bat at her nose. "Stop~" she whined. "Tomorrow you will go but remember to come back at the end of the day." "Okay. Thank you Aizen." She tiptoed (Yes she is shorter than most of the guys but taller that the girls) and kissed his cheek. She ran to the bed and jumped on it. Aizen smiled as he laid down. He then felt Tora cuddle close to him. It was the first time in 5 days that Tora willing cuddled close to Aizen. He smiled. She really did remind him of a dragon. The two drifted off to sleep.

The next day…

Tora awoke to a still sleeping Aizen and a very playful urge in her. Aizen's arm was by his side and his head turned away from her. Tora smirked as she took her pillow ("It's so fluffy!" Onmyō squealed) and slapped Aizen with it. His eyes shot open. Tora slapped him again but with a little more force. "Good Morning-." She slapped him again before he could finish his sentence. His eyes narrowed. Tora stuck her tongue out. "Nyah~!" Aizen smiled as he grabbed his own pillow and hit her. "Ack!" she fell backwards. "Why you little-." The two started to hit each other with the pillows. They're laughter and giggles filled the room. "Well, if the king and queen ain't all lovey dovey!" The two turned. Gin and Ulquiorra stood there. Tora stuck her tongue out before she hit Aizen one more time. "Tora!" she giggled as she ran into the bathroom. Aizen smiled before he looked back at the duo at the door. "Tell anyone and I will kill you." Gin put his hands up. "Geez, Aizen-Taichou, calm down. Ya'll are cute together." Aizen smile. "Get us breakfast. Make sure you have French vanilla coffee for Tora." "Hai, Aizen-sama." Ulquiorra left to get breakfast. Aizen entered the bathroom and he blushed. Tora was only in a towel and bending over. He got a very nice view of her bubble butt. He turned around. "Can I turn around yet?" Tora jumped. She smiled. "Yes." Tora had put on an underwear and t-shirt. "I don't know what to wear!" "How about a dress?" "I hate dresses." Aizen smiled. "I know!" Tora walked over to her dresser. She grabbed a blue jeans and a blue sweater that had a sleeping cat on it. It said 'I rather be sleeping.' Aizen kissed her cheek. He was in his espada uniform. "Let's have breakfast and then you can go." "Okay." Aizen grabbed her hand and the two walked to the dining room. The espadas, arrancars and numeros stared at Tora. She ignored them and kept talking to Aizen. The two sat down behind the espadas. "Must they stare at me?" Tora asked. "They're just curious as to how their queen look likes." Ulquiorra put a plate of pancakes and a cup of coffee in front of Tora. She smiled. "Thank You Ulquiorra." He bowed. "You're welcome Tora-sama." Aizen sipped his tea and took a bite out of his bagel. The two finished breakfast. "Here Tora." Tora turned. Aizen handed her a credit card. "Oh Aizen, I don't-." "I insist. Buy something for the room; it's not only me who lives there anymore." Tora smiled. "Bye Aizen." "Bye Tora." He kissed her forehead and watched as she and Ulquiorra left.

Human world…..

"Tora!" "Ichigo!" The two friends hugged. Ulquiorra watched the two from the side. "What is he doing here?" Ichigo asked. Ulquiorra didn't respond. "He's just here to make sure I'm safe." "You're safe just by not being with Aizen." "Oh stop it!" Tora playfully punched Ichigo. "The others are at my place. C'mon." The two talked as they walked to Ichigo's house.

Ichigo's house…..

"Yuru! Karin! Rukia!" the four girls hugged each other. Byakuya, Renji, Chad, Ishida, Hitsugaya and Rangiku sat there as well. Byakuya was in shock. He stood up. "Tora…" "Byakuya!" she jumped on him. The two kissed. Ulquiorra stepped closer to Tora. Byakuya growled. Ulquiorra grabbed his sword. "Oh stop it you two!" Tora looked at the two stoic men. "Ulquiorra go sit in the corner. You are only here for my protection and unless you see me getting pummeled to death you are not to move. Do you understand?" "Hai, Tora-sama." Ulquiorra sat in the corner. Renji scoffed. "Coward. OW!" Tora had hit him. "Don't talk about him that way." Tora turned to Byakuya. "Leave him alone." "Okay." The group sat down. Yuzu brought out cupcakes and drinks.

Later…..

Byakuya and Tora were walking in the park. Ulquiorra followed them. "Wish he didn't have to come." Tora smiled. "Hey at lease Aizen let me visit." The two stopped at the lake they first got together. Byakuya hugged her from behind. "I Miss you." "I miss you too." "How does Aizen treat you?" "Like a queen. He showers me with presents, hugs and kisses. Surprisingly he gave me my space when he saw I was close to clawing his face off." Byakuya chuckled. Suddenly they both felt hollows' reaistu. "Nicki-Joō, I must get you back to Aizen-sama." Byakuya held Nicki close. "No. I'm not letting her leave." Nicki sighed. "Byakuya let me go. I promised Aizen I-." "You can't go! No! I'm ordered to bring you back if I see you." "So Aizen can kill all of you to get me back? Let me go." "No." Nicki growled. "Fine then. Ulquiorra!" Ulquiorra disappeared and hit Byakuya. Byakuya flew backwards. "Let's go." "So that's how it is Nicki?" She looked at Byakuya. "Fine! Leave! Go back to Aizen! You slut you only used me!" Nicki gasped. Ulquiorra shot a cero and picked up Nicki. "Nicki-Joō let's go." Nicki didn't resist. The two disappeared.

Nicki's quiet sobs filled the hallway as Ulquiorra walked to the throne room. When Ulquiorra entered the throne room, Aizen ran to her. "Nicki…..What happened?" "That trash called her a slut." Nicki clung to Aizen. "Nicki you are not a slut." Nicki looked at Aizen. Aizen's brown eyes shined with love and affection. Nicki let Aizen dry her tears. "I want them to burn," Nicki said quietly. "I want Byakuya to be gutted, killed than brought back to life and then killed again. I hate him." Aizen looked at Nicki. Her blue eyes were clouded over with anger and hate. He smiled and kissed her. "It shall be done then my love."

~Later~

Nicki quietly read a book. Aizen put his head on her lap. "Get some sleep love," he whispered. "It's late and you need your beauty sleep." Nicki smiled. Aizen sat up and kissed her cheek. "Sleep well love." "I will my Howaitonaito." Aizen smiled and turned the lights off.
