Chapter 56: Prison Mates
Kagome gains consciousness and takes a look around. Her surrounding is that black and white with colors in between. "Where am I?" She asks herself as she holds her head from a sudden headache. "We're in Hueco Mundo." A voice answers her question with a depressing voice. Kagome turns her gaze to the person who spoke. It was Orihime Inoue. "Orihime? What are you doing here?" Kagome asks her. Kagome discovers that the orange-haired girl is in a different wardrobe. She was in a white dress with different designs in between. "What happened to you?" Kagome asks more of her infinite questions. Orihime sighs, "If you're like me, we've been abducted." She replies as she looks down in despair.
Kagome stands up to comfort her, but didn't expect for what she was wearing as well. She looks down upon herself for what she's wearing. Instead of her casual clothes from her home, she was wearing something similar to Orihime's. She can tell right away that she's in a dress as well. Her top shows the cleavage with long sleeves with a hold that hooks up to her middle finger. From inside, Kagome feels disgusted about this outfit. "I feel like a slut." Kagome comments herself as she sits by Orihime's side on the couch in the room they're imprisoned in. "So…why were you abducted?" Kagome changes the subject.
Orihime sighs, "I was abducted because of my unique ability." She answers her mate. "What unique ability?" Kagome asks again. Orihime chuckles, "Remember when you were injured some time ago?" She reminds Kagome the first time they met each other. Kagome nods, "They're after my power to use against the Soul Society. They said I'd be perfect to reject the damage inflicted of them." She explains further in. Kagome looks down in thought. "What do you me 'Reject'?" She looks back up. "My unique ability has the power to turn back time anything my barrier traps in. I first thought it was a simple healing ability but somehow Aizen observed the properties and claims it was a time machine." She continues as she looks back to Kagome.
Back in the main hall, Aizen and Naraku sat in their seats to get the latest update from the Espadas. "Tell me what you managed to achieve." Aizen kindly orders Ulquiorra. The 4th Espada steps forward, "I was able to make sure Orihime come her occurring to her own free will. The Soul Society assumed that she is a traitor to them directly." He gives his report. Aizen smiles down upon him. "Well down. And I believe you might have a report for Naraku as well." Aizen gets into a better mode to hear what Ulquiorra will tell Naraku. "Yes sir. I heard straight from you that Inuyasha is one person not to mess with. So I knew for sure I needed a few more Espadas to achieve this mission. Yammy and Grimmjow did a remarkable job to make it happen. Grimmjow was able to infiltrate into the precipice world in which Inuyasha was in to get to the Higurashi shrine to resume his duty. Thanks to him, Yammy and I were able to have ample time to abduct the girl from her home." Ulquiorra explains the mission.
Yammy steps forward, "That's right, what we didn't expect was the Shrine was being guarded by the lieutenants of the vacant squads that you, Gin, and Kaname deserted. However there was the new captain of Squad 9, Hige Higurashi." He finalizes his report. Kaname widens his eyes, despite that he's blind. "So they have a new captain for the squad I was captain of?" He asks Yammy.
Ulquiorra nods, "Yes, he was a tough individual to fight. But I was able to outsmart him to get the girl who happens to be his daughter." Yammy looks to the 6th Espada, "And how is it that you managed to slow Inuyasha down?" Grimmjow narrows his eyes, "I have to admit that Inuyasha guy was one tough man as well. He'd be as strong as the captains of the Squad. Maybe even rival Ichigo's powers."
Naraku nods, "I see, well that's one thing you managed to come up with a diversion to complete your mission." He said with proudness. "And now we have both the girl that Inuyasha loves and the girl that Ichigo cares so deeply. It'll be a matter of time for them to get here to save them." He analyzed. "And what about Kikyo?" Aizen asks curiously. "All I can say she has down her job as well. She is to be executed for her failed attempt to infiltrate the Seireitei." Naraku grins evilly. "And what about the girls?" Naraku asks his partner. Aizen copies his own grin, "It's none other than to weaken the Seireitei. I know fully well what they're capable of. Head-Captain Yamamoto is going to send some of the strongest squads captains and their lieutenants to come here to aid Ichigo and his friends because I know that they will split up eventually, as well as weaken in the process." He explains as Gin Ichimaru opens some of the screens to show how their plan will go.
Naraku seems to understand on the plan but something else came into mind. "Something bothering you, Naraku?" Gin asks as he turns his closed eyes to the man. "Did I ever mention that I can block the girls' powers?" He keeps his grin on.
Aizen seems intrigued, "And how is it that you're able to do that?" He asks him. Naraku pulls out the Sacred Jewel. "Normally when the jewel is pure, it shines in a pink of purity. However, since I'm full tainted powers, it can change the status of the jewel itself." He explains as he opens the palm to show the dark purple color of impurity of the jewel. "Now even Kikyo nor Kagome can completely purify it with one touch." He adds in the missing fact. "And how is it that you can block the girls' unusual powers?" Gin tilts his head. Naraku grins even more, "Like this." He answers as he squeezes the jewel.
Meanwhile in the room Kagome and Orihime are staying feel something burning from deep within them. "What's going on?" Kagome screams in pain as the burning sensation continues on. "I don't know. Somehow I can't even use my healing powers to reject it." Orihime cries as much pain as Kagome's.
The evildoers witness the girls' agony through the monitor. "As you can see, when Kagome and Orihime were captured, I made sure that Ulquiorra took a sample of their DNA and the jewel can manipulate their body's reaction with the most painful experience in life." He said as they all witness the girls' painful cries. "Not even their cries can escape the walls of Las Noches." Aizen points as the entire building is soundproof all around. "It'll be a matter of time that their heroes come in and save the day." Aizen comments for the upcoming event. "Let's see how far they can make it." He grins afterwards.
