A/N: Hello everyone. This one is long! I love this story. Please Enjoy and Review!

The blue haired woman kept her eyes shut. She was laying on, what she hoped was a huge really soft bed. She was to afraid to open her eyes, she gripped the bed sheets tightly. The last thing the woman remembered was being trapped in the Negacion and being pulled into the portal by the Menos, on her way to Hueco Mundo with Sosuke...

Sosuke!

Katsue sat up quickly and looked around the room she was in. She didn't recognize any of it! She jumped up and stood barefooted in the middle of the bed, searching for any threats that might pop out at her.

Another thing she noticed... Someone had changed her clothes. She blushed and surveyed herself: Katsue's hair was down with just the head band keeping it back. Her black undershirt and stretch pants were still on her body but someone put a white hakama on her, along with a long white robe. The robe had narrow bell-shaped sleeves that came past her finger tips a bit. All the ends were rimmed with dark grey. A blue sash was tied around her waist.

A sash? But no Zanpaktou? Katsue felt around on her body for Hakuchūmu. Where was she? Now she was in an unknown area, Sosuke was no where around, had different clothes on, and her only weapon was gone. Perfect! She rose her hand to her neck. And the necklace was gone too! Someone here must really hate her.

The room Katsue was in, was big. The bed she was standing on had several big black pillows that fit nicely with the very white covers and sheets. There were big windows to her right but she could tell that she was looking at an artificial sky in the afternoon. The room was decorated beautiful, with pink and purple flowers and small statues of all colors. Overall the room was pretty cozy looking.

Katsue tensed. Just because it felt nice in here, didn't make it a safe place. Where was that man anyway? He was the whole reason she was in this room! All the things she went through for him and this is what it all brings her. Somehow he was going to have to pay.

She jumped off the bed and looked at the grand pale grey door they stood infront of her. If she was going to get any answers, she was going to have to go looking for them. Just because she had no sword, didn't mean she was an easy kill. She opened the door and peeked out.

The large hallway was empty. She crept out and snaked along the wall to the end of the hall, where it split into two directions. She went right. Katsue stopped mid step at what was looking at her.

It seemed to be male. He had emotionless green eyes and pale skin. He was shorter than her and thinner, and was dressed in the same style as her. What was he though? He had a piece of a Hollow mask that looked like a helmet with a horn, over part of his head, covering black messy hair. But from his hip hung a Zanpaktou. Was he a Hollow or a Shinigami? Katsue stood there, gaping at him. Sosuke had gone way to far now.

"What?" She knew she had the dumbest look on her face. "What are you? Can you speak?"

"I am Ulquiorra Cifer. I am a member of the Espada, and an Arrancar" He spoke to her with a blank monotone.

"Espada?" So that's what Sosuke decided to call them. Katsue looked him up and down.

"Aizen-sama has sent me to fetch you, Hara-san" Ulquiorra said. He motioned for her to follow. "Come with me"

"No! I'm not going near that, Aizen-sama" She crossed her arms over her chest. "He can come get me himself if he needs me"

"Aizen-sama wishes to see you immediately" Green eyes bored into grey ones.

"Too bad" Katsue told him. She took a step to continue looking around but the small Espada blocked her. That was happening a lot, people blocking her from taking action.

"He said if you ever want to see Hakuchumu again, you will follow me to him"

Katsue stared at him in disbelief. Did Sosuke just threaten her? No way she was just going to let him get away that. "Take me to him"

She followed the emotionless man through hall after hall until they arrived at another huge door. "Where are we?"

"The Espada meeting room" Ulquiorra informed the woman.

He gave them a meeting room? "So, theres more of you in there" Katsue looked at the door with curiosity. "Lets go" She pushed open the door and looked around. Sure enough, nine other Hollow/Shinigami creations sat in chairs. But no Sosuke in sight.

"Ulquiorra, where is he?" She asked the Espada, who'd taken his seat. There was a chair that was larger that the rest, she had no doubt, that one was for Aizen. She sat down in it, and put her feet up on the table.

"He hasn't arrived yet" Ulquiorra didn't even look up at her. He had his eyes shut.

"Hey, Ulquiorra, whose the girl?" A bright blue headed Espada asked loudly. Katsue turned to look at him. He grinned at her and nodded his head. She rolled her eyes.

"Hara-san. Do not get any ideas, Grimmjow, she belongs to Aizen-sama" Ulquiorra answered.

The one called Grimmjow laughed. "We'll see..." Katsue could tell that she and him were not going to get along. He was much too cocky from the very start.

"I dont belong to anyone" Katsue told them both.

"So that's Aizen-sama's woman? How nice of her to play pet for him" A tall, skinny black haired Espada smirked at her. His smile reminded her of Shinji.

"Watch your mouth, Nnorita" The green eyed Espada told him.

"Yeah. Who do you think you are? Talking to me like that!" Katsue snapped at him, she was in no mood for this! He laughed at her. The blue haired woman stood, challenging him. Maybe she did need a fight after all, he didn't look so tough.

"What are you going to do about it?" Nnorita stood from his chair as well. Grimmjow stood too. They both started over to her, but then a pink haired Espada spoke up.

"Hi. I'm Szayel Aporro Granz. Nice to meet you, Hara-san" He pushed his way past Grimmjow and Nnorita to shake her hand.

"Same too you" At least not all of them were rude. Although this one was very strange looking.

Now the rest of the Espada decided to introduce themselves. There was: Coyote Starkk, Baraggan Luisenbarn, Tia Harribel, Zommari Rureaux, and Aaroniero Arruruerie.

Ones that stuck out to Katsue were: Harribel for being female, Baraggan for looking so old, and Starkk for being asleep the whole time. Another thing was that their reiatsu were the three highest. But she could also sense something strange about the reiatsu that belonged to Ulquiorra, his was... different.

"So, does anyone know when exactly Sosuke is going to grace us with his presence?" Katsue asked, sitting back into said mans chair. Though she did not relax.

"Why, do you miss him?" Nnorita asked her with a scoff.

"Of course she does. I could fix that for ya doll-face" Grimmjow winked.

"Grow up, Trash" Ulquiorra said. Yeah, he was Katsue's favorite now.

Just then the doors reopened and Sosuke walked in, with Gin and Tousen following. Katsue's eyes widened when she saw him. He looked the same yet very different. The only thing throwing her off was his eyes, they looked completely menacing. His hair had changed, it was pushed back and less wild but still that was a change she could handle. The mans outfit did nothing to relax her. So that's why everything was white. To match the Arrancar, they were all going hollow.

All the things she wanted to yell at him, went out the window with his eyes. When it came down to it, she had nothing to say. If she wanted an answer to why he did this to her, he was just going to tell her himself because she wasnt going to ask. And maybe the silent treatment would serve him right. Katsue was not happy with him at all and there were no words to explain that to the man.

Sosuke walked up to his chair. Looked down to see her sitting in it. And simply moved her a little so that she would have to sit on his lap. He put his head on her shoulder as he addressed his Espada. "How is everyone today?" Katsue blushed again. He was going to act like she wasnt even there? Boy, he had some nerve! She sat there, fuming, with her arms crossed tightly and her lips pursed.

There was a grunt among the Espada and a couple "fine"s. Then Grimmjow motioned he had something to say. Aizen acknowledged him. "Who is she?" He mumbled out.

"This" He put his arms around her waist. "Is Katsue Hara" He gave his army a small smile.

"Is she yours?" Grimmjow asked.

"Only if she wants to be..." Katsue could feel Sosuke looking at her, but held her tongue. She was not going to say anything.

"So, you haven't claimed her as your property yet?" Nnorita asked. "So, she's anyone's kill?" He smiled hugely at her.

Katsue turned her gaze on him. "Bring it anytime you want!" She growled at him, breaking her personal vow. She made to move out of Sosuke's lap but his arms held fast. Again, she was stopped! Maybe she should stop being so hostile and then maybe she could get places.

"She will never be anyone's property. I doubt any of you will be able to kill her. But if any of you, were to succeed however, you will answer to me" Aizen must have looked frightening, because most of the Espada sat up straighter or looked away.

The meeting continued with Sosuke going over how his plans were coming along, which Katsue zoned out to. He spoke about numbers and areas that needed improvement and Espada manners.

She started paying attention when she heard him say something about Orihime Inoue. She remembered her as a friend of Ichigo's. Sosuke was saying that Ulquiorra would pick his team to bring her to him but Grimmjow would go as well. Aizen must have noticed that Katsue was extra tense because he asked her what was wrong. "Nothing. Just wandering about Orihime-chan is all" She hoped her voice was even.

"You know her?" Sosuke's arms were just resting around her now.

"Somewhat" Katsue overlooked the topic.

"Okay. If that is all, meeting dismissed" Aizen told his army. Everyone stood and started making their way back to their palaces or other places around Las Noches. Katsue glared at Grimmjow and Nnorita when they pasted her, then she twisted around to look at Sosuke.

"Gin. Tousen. Leave us" Sosuke told his subordinates who stood behind him.

"Course! See ya later Aizen-sama, Hara-san" Gin waved and disappeared.

"Aizen-sama, Hara-san" Tousen left the room.

They were alone now. Katsue looked down at Sosuke, waiting for him to say something. He had his eyes closed and one hand was on his face, while the other rested on the armrest. She was free to leave his lap now, but just decided to stay, it felt appropriate.

"Sue-chan..." Sosuke whispered but his voice broke. Katsue had never heard him sound like that. As if he was crying or something. There were no tears and his face was calm. But still, the sound made her chest tighten despite it all. "Do you... fear me?"

What kind of question was that? Of course not. "No" Her answer was blank.

"Then why did you flinch from me, when I came to you?" Aizen still didn't open his eyes. He was slouching in his chair.

Katsue thought back to the time he was referring. When he'd suddenly appeared behind her, she had flinched from him and held her arms up to keep him at bay. "Well did you see what you were doing? Did you expect me to welcome you with open arms? All you were gonna do is get blood all over me"

"So you do fear me. I should have known" Sosuke's voice was getting back to normal. "Your love is out of fear"

"What love? I dont fear you, Sosuke. At that time, ya shoulda seen yourself! You were doing such crazy things, all the while being calm about it!" Katsue tried explaining. What was going on? Did Sosuke want to put fear into her? "That's what freaked me out the most"

Well, atleast she thought everything she wanted to yell at him went out the window.

"So if I would've ran around, screaming and killing people, it would've been better?" Sosuke finally opened his eyes. He looked... tired.

"Well, atleast people would've seen it coming" Katsue stated. This was no fair. "I wish none of this was happening! I had no idea we would end up here" He was trying to turn this on her.

"Where did you think we would end up?"

"I dunno Sosuke! Maybe in Soul Society, when were too old to fight anymore. We would live in some nice little house, but with a huge backyard, right by that damn river. And we would have a dog!" Katsue told Sosuke. "We could even have that in the World of the Living, if you want. Every night we would lay down and sleep in the same bed together just like couples are suppose to. We would do all that normal junk that we can never do now!" She was shaking with anger.

"What do you mean?" Sosuke sat up and wrapped his arms around her again. "We can still do everything-" Sosuke looked relieved for some strange reason.

"No. We. Cant!" Katsue screwed up her eyes and balled up her fists. "All of Seireitei wants to kill you! They are preparing to end your life, Sosuke. We can never live in peace, have a family, or go home! Even if you do succeed, there will always be people who want to fight" Katsue felt her eyes water. If there was one thing she noticed about herself, it was that she cried a lot nowadays.

Sosuke was quiet for awhile, watching Katsue try to calm herself. "I guess I've been selfish lately" He said at last. "I never guessed this would be so hard on you"

"What did you think it was going to be?" Katsue looked at him through her hands, attempting to understand the man she'd fallen in love with.

"I'm not sure" Aizen admitted to her quietly. "I thought... You would just want to be with me, wherever I was"

"Your so self righteous, Sosuke" Katsue shook her head. "I do want to be wherever you are, I do honestly love you. But... But..."

"But what, Sue-chan?" Sosuke begged. Did he really just do that?

"I don't even know. I cant ask you to stop this, you never listen to me. But... Can you atleast try to succeed?" Katsue let the tears shed, she was shaking again. Sosuke was confused. "Don't let them take you away!"

Sosuke's face light up with understanding. Did his Sue-chan just ask him that? "I will, I promise" She did care for him. She said she didn't want him to lose to the Gotei 13. She was asking him to win, so she wouldnt have to lose him. How could he ever show her that much love? Sosuke was the one who should have followed Katsue... To prove himself to her.

Aizen shifted to pick his woman up. He lifted her and carried her back to the room she'd woken up in, which was his room. He laid her gently in the bed and climbed in next to her, all the while she let her tears soak his clothes. This was the worse Sosuke had ever seen her cry, he didn't know what else to do. This was something she wanted, he had no right to deny her.

"Shhh..." He smoothed her hair. "I'm so sorry, Sue-chan. I didn't mean to take away all of your choices in life" He got no answer from Katsue, but she did calm down after awhile. Her shoulders just kept shaking. "I'll send you home in the morning"

"N-No. I w-wanna stay here" Katsue managed to get out.

Sosuke sighed. And now she was going to stay here with him, just like he asked her too. Katsue really was the one for him. She turned her head so that she was laying on his chest, so she could hear his heart beating. They were quiet for 112 beats. "I'm not going to keep you from living your life the way you want" Sosuke told her.

"I'm gonna live my life with you... We just can't have a normal relationship" Katsue sniffed acouple times. "I cant help that I love you, Sosuke. Sometimes I hate all this stuff we go through but then I find it easy to forget about it" So, this was it. Did this mean she was choosing her Sosuke, over her home? She still wasnt sure exactly... She could decide in the morning.

Sosuke finally smiled at her, even though she couldn't see it. "I love you too. I know my love has countless strings attached, but it makes me happy that your still here. I can never repay you" Sosuke told her.

Katsue lifted herself up and leaned down to kiss him, trying to make him feel the way she was right now. Sad, happy, confused, in love. He must have felt it too, because the man kissed her back with equal fire. It was just like the kiss they shared in Soul Society, when they reconnected. But this time, neither of them had to stop with just a kiss.
