Thought of the day: Apparently my sister and I trip in front of Dunkin Doughnuts...it's cursed.
A Spoon Problem
I woke up to severe knocking on my door I got up and answered it and was not surprised to see Grimmjow.
"There is a meeting in half an hour, Aizen has requested that you come." Grimmjow told me as he barged into my room and sat on my couch.
"Okay." I responded staring at Grimmjow while holding my door open, waiting for Grimmjow to leave the room.
"Shouldn't you be getting ready?" Grimmjow questioned noticing the bathrobe that I had over my night clothes.
"Yes." I answered, "Shouldn't you be leaving so that I can do exactly that?"
"Oh, can't I just stay here. I promise not to peak or anything. I just don't want to go somewhere and then have to come back here."
"Oh, I suppose. If I find you peaking I will do something that is best thought about only in times of great hate."
"In other words you don't know what you would do to me."
"Yes, but it would be so awful that I can not imagine doing it until I am already pissed."
"I won't peak." Grimmjow said making himself comfortable on my couch.
"So what is this meeting about?" I questioned as I walked through the halls with Grimmjow.
"If I knew I wouldn't have to attend the stupid thing." Grimmjow complained.
"Wow that is a really good point." I said shocked that he told me.
"We're here." Grimmjow growled out angry that I made fun of him without meaning to. All the Espada, except Grimmjow, and Ulquiorra (Ulquiorra is not there yet) looked up as I walked into the room.
"Hi everybody." I said awkwardly. Then they all went back to what they were doing. There were three seats open across from Nnoitra so I took the middle one and Grmmjow sat to my right.
"Tea." An unloved Arrancar announced as she put tea in front of all the chairs. I took my tea and added lots of sugar.
"A weakling like you shouldn't be present at Espada meetings." Nnoitra commented as I sat innocently in a chair sipping my tea.
"I don't think that is your decision to make." Tousen commented as he stepped into the meeting room.
"Well Aizen shouldn't allow such useless beings to be a part of this meeting." Nnoitra commented.
"Well I don't appreciate being called weak by a walking spoon with bad teeth so comment after you have beaten me or at least have seen me beaten." I remarked not looking up from my tea. Nnoitra moved to punch me in the face, which I would have dodged by the way, when Ulquiorra came in and grabbed his hand and twisted it, probably painfully.
"Nnoitra, do you not remember what Aizen-sama told us about the Princess?" Ulquiorra asked in his usual monotone noise.
"Treat her kindly or die." Aizen explained walking regally into the room.
"Why?" Nnoitra questioned earning him a glare from Aizen.
"Other than the obvious reason of 'Because-I-said-so she is also an Aoki, you know what that means right?" Aizen asked patronizing Nnoitra at the end.
"Something about her riatsu?" Nnoitra questioned.
"Yes, it means that if she chose to use her riatsu around any of you then you would wind up like how Ulquiorra was a couple of days ago." Aizen explained sitting in his seat as Ulquiorra sat to the left of me.
"The spoon did have one good point, why am I at this Espada meeting?" I questioned as Ulquiorra sat to my left.
"Stop calling me a spoon." Nnoitra threatened.
"Stop looking like one." I shot back not turning from Aizen.
"I thought you might like to hear about why we are keeping you here and listen to some of my plans, but if you have better things to do by all means go do them." Aizen said obviously annoyed by all the questioning of his authority. I looked around and noticed the lack of a certain someone.
"Where's Gin?" I questioned looking around the room.
"He's chasing Wonderweiss." Tousen answered.
"Why?" I questioned.
"Wonderweiss stole Gin's zanpakuto." Tousen answered smirking at Gin's expense.
"Whose Wonderweiss?" I asked afterwards. Most people would ask that first but not me.
"Can we start the meeting now?" Aizen asked/commanded.
"Fine, you may begin." I said regally waving for him to start.
"Since the Princess has given her permission I would like to point out that when I said not to mess with the Princess I meant it. I would like to stress this point right now, any of you that mess with the Princess will be killed unless of course she was attempting an escape or something. If she calls you a spoon you allow it. If she pokes you annoyingly you ignore it. Do I make myself clear?" Aizen asked his killing intent rolling off him in waves.
"Yes." All the Espada answered.
"Also inform the arrancar about this because they will also be subject to the same torment as you would suffer. I do not want to hear about any fight that took place because some arrancar was jealous of the princess and attacked her."
"How did you know about that?" I questioned.
"The monitor room." Aizen explained simply.
"Monitor room?" I questioned.
"A room with monitors." Tousen explained.
"Thank you for clearing that up," I said sarcastically, "Wait, is there a monitor that shows my room?"
"Yes." Tousen answered simply.
"That's really creepy. Have you guys been peeping on me the entire time I was here?" I questioned feeling violated.
"No, it is merely for surveillance purposes that we have it." Aizen explained quickly knowing that I might attack them all, futilely, because they violated my privacy.
"If you want I can take you there after the meeting." Tousen offered.
"Thank you." I replied.
"Can I get back to the meeting?" Aizen questioned.
"Yes." I said and did the regal hand wave once more.
"As you know Aoki riatsu is special, I want to see if I can harness that power. I want to slowly expose you all to Aoki riatsu and see what happens. I will wait until after I take over to do that. I needed Eri here now because of three reasons. Reason one is so that Szayel can experiment on her zanpakuto. Reason number two is to lure captain Kuchiki and Zaraki here so that I can seal them in Hueco Mundo while we attack soul society. Reason number three is so that I could see Ulquiorra's responses to her riatsu being once more in range." Aizen explained.
"Why would those two captains come after her?" Grimmjow questioned not knowing the details.
"That's simple, Rogue," Gin said as he can into the room looking a bit frazzled while being followed by this little kid looking arrancar that I had not yet met but I guess is Wonderweiss, "the two white or in our case black is the good guys, so the two black nights Zaraki and Kuchiki are in love with the princess."
"What?" one of the voices I least expected to hear question this questioned—Ulquiorra. I looked at him and he looked completely calm, and the voice he asked with was in his usual uncaring tone, but it seemed that he must have been disturbed by the thought that they liked me.
"Personally I like Captain Zaraki better as a person, but Captain Kuchiki is more fun to tease. Hmm, who ta cheer for." Gin pondered.
"Can we save discussing the Princess's love life until after the meeting."
"Sorry I thought ya were already done." Gin apologized taking the only empty seat as Wonderweiss went over to sit by Tousen.
"Does everyone understand everything I said so far in this meeting?" Aizen questioned.
"Yes." Everyone, but Wonderweiss and Aizen himself, answered.

"Shouldn't we do something about them?" Tousen questioned.
"No, we will wait. I have a feeling it is Ichigo and his friends so let's see just how far they can get." Aizen replied calmly sipping his tea.
"Trash." Ulquiorra muttered.
