Seishin: Hey everyone. This chapter and the other chapters that have the same title, are just Renji meeting the Espadas and background info on them.

A Shattered Body, but A Mended Soul

Aspect of Death: Loneliness

It had been three days since I arrived, and most of my time was with Gin learning where everything is in Las Noches. I learn the layout of the place quite fast, and it was now time to start on the assignment Aizen had given me. I made my way down the long corridor to the Espada that I chose to begin with, which was the Primera Coyote Starrk with Lilynette Gingerback. The truth is I didn't want to meet the most powerful Espada or any of the Espadas, but I had to or I get stuck spending all day with Aizen. I arrived at a door with a large Gothic number one above it, I swallowed hard and knocked on the door in which a girl with light green hair and pink eyes.

"Um hello you must be Lilynette Gingerback."

"And your uh... Oh right that shinigami!"

"Yeah am Renji Abarai."

"Well come in."

I followed right behind her into the large room, which was almost empty. The room was completely white, and had a bed and a mound of pillows on the floor in which someone was sleeping on.

"Wake up you lazy bum." she jumped on top the person who was sleeping, and he immediately shot up.

"Hey Lilynette I was sleeping."

"We have a guest Starrk."

The one named Starrk looked at me, he had brown hair and blue-Grey eyes. The man looked like he rested well, but the yawn kinda surprise me.

"Uh it's ok I can leave if you like."

"No it's alright Sir Abarai." Starrk yawn again

"Sir...Abarai?"

"Well your my superior so I have to knowledge you."

"No it's alright you can just call me Renji." I smiled.

"That's great cause I didn't want to be calling you Sir all the time." Lilynette said while getting off of Starrk.

Over the next three days I learn many things about the two,and became good friends with them during my visits. Like how Starrk tried to live with other Hollows, but just by being around him, they lost their souls and died. Because of this, he became jealous of how the weak are allowed to come together and wanted to become weak. In an attempt to escape his loneliness he had split his soul into two, himself and Lilynette. Starrk didn't remember which of them they originally looked like before they split and suspected that their original appearance corresponded to neither of them.

Even still, Starrk wanted to become weak so that he could join a pack and if that were not possible, he wanted to find someone as strong as him. Starrk and Lilynette were alone when he was first found by Aizen, who asked him if he had killed all the mountains of Hollows in the area. Starrk told him no, that they just died. This impressed Aizen, who told Starrk that he seemed strong, and he then told him that he was looking for allies. Starrk responded that they were as well, and asked Aizen if his allies were strong. Aizen told him to come along and find out for himself.

Starrk agreed to join him, noting that Aizen looked like he could stay with them without dying.

A Shattered Body, but A Mended Soul

Aspect of Death: Old Age

On my way to the next Espada which was the Segunda Baraggan Luisebarn, with his six fraccións Choe Neng Poww, Charlotte Cuuhlhourne, Avirama Redder, Findor Carias, Nirgge Parduoc, and Ggio Vega. I had learn from Lilynette that Baraggan was an old grouch, which kinda reminded me of Yammato. Soon I arrived at the door with the Gothic number two above it, and then I knocked then the door opened.

"Yes."

"Ah!"

I jumped back and place my hand to my beating heart. The person who open the door look creepy, he has long wavy purple hair, large glowing lips, icy blue eyes, and curly long eyelashes. The guy looked at me strangely.

Is that a man? Cause if that's a woman, then what the fuck happen?

"Is something wrong."

(sweat-drop) "Oh nothing I was uh just a little startle on how fast the door was answer, ha ha ha."

"I see, well I apologize for startling you. Well then what is your business here with his majesty?"

"Oh right. Am Renji Abarai and Aizen has assign me to visit all the Espadas."

"Well come in Renji, and my name is Charlotte Cuuhlhourne."

I follow Charlotte to a throne where sat the Segunda Baraggan, and five others surrounded him.

"So this is the shinigami." Said Baraggan.

"Names Renji Abarai."

"You may do what you came here to do Renji, but not with me."

The time that I spent at Baraggan room was mostly with Ggio Vega, you could say that were friends. He told me about Baraggan past like, before becoming an Espada, Baraggan was the undisputed God-King of Hueco Mundo and original ruler of Las Noches. He reigned over an open court with many servants and had a large army of Hollows. He was increasingly bored as a result of nothing to do, nothing to conquer and no one to defeat, thus rendering his army nearly useless. It's only purpose had become awaiting the invasion of another force.

Unexpectedly, Baraggan received news that someone had killed one of his subordinates. Then Sōsuke Aizen, Gin Ichimaru and Kaname Tōsen appeared at the entrance to the court. When a large Hollow attacked Aizen, Tōsen stepped in and killed the creature with very little effort. Aizen then stated that he and Baraggan had never met before and asked him if he was the king of Hueco Mundo. Baraggan confirmed his status, and asked Aizen who they were.

Baraggan pointed out that they had no masks, which made it obvious to him that they weren't Hollows, which led him to ask if they were humans or Shinigami, however the question was not answered. Despite asking, he stated he had very little care about what they were, stating that he was so bored that if it weren't for their arrival, he would have split his army in two and made them kill each other. He then welcomed them to his palace of Las Noches. Soon after Baraggan's army that try to attack Aizen were all kill, then that's when Aizen took over Las Noches.

A Shattered Body, but A Mended Soul

Aspect of Death: Sacrifice

I made my way to the Tres room, her name was Tia Harribel and had three fraccións Sun-Sun, Apache, and Mila-Rose. I approached the door and knocked, a women with a amber eye (left) and a blue eye (right) with dark blue hair.

"Yeah what do you want."

"My name is Renji Abarai, and I-"

"Hey the shinigami is here. Come on in."

I follow her into the room which had two couches, and a large open balcony. Near the balcony was the Espada Harribel, and on the couch sat two females.

"So this is the shinigami uh Apache?" asked one of the female with light green eyes and brown hair.

"Yeah Mila-Rose."

"Welcome Renji." Harribel walked over to the couch.

"Thank-you."

For a couple of minutes it was silent, and began to feel awkward. But soon Apache and Mila-Rose were arguing about something, then Sun-Sun join in. It was like that for the next two days that I was there. I didn't learn anything about the fraccións or the Espada. But I didn't let it bother me for I knew I wasn't going to be around them, it's not that I don't like them it's just there nothing to talk about with them not like with Lilynette or Ggio.

Seishin: Hey everyone. At first I wasn't going to do this, but I thought Renji should get to become friends with some of the fraccions and Espadas. So the next two chapters are going to be Renji meeting them and learning about them, then it's going to get juicy hehehe.

Hope you enjoyed reading and please review.
