Orihime glanced at her phone and sighed when she saw 200 un opened emails, 49 text messages and 55 missed calls from Uryuu and Tatsuki. She felt bad for not contacting them all day, but Orihime had no choice left but to resort to Aizen. Turning her phone off, Orihime adverted her eyes back to Aizen who was beginning his meeting with his Espada members. All of Aizens ten most trusted men sat in their assigned chairs, listening to Aizen's opening statements before starting the meeting.
Orihime sat next to Aizen, looking out at his mysterious men called the Espada. Dressed in either expensive tailored suits, each unique to the person wearing it, they all seemed to be interesting people. The guy from earlier who had an eye patch was rolling a blunt on the glass table while another one was passed out drunk in his seat. Yet this didn't seem to bother Aizen at all.
"Sayzel please come up to the front and show us your analysis on the situation."
Dressed in a custom made pink and white Brioni Vanquish II suit, Sayzel walked to the front of the room and began pulling up files on the computer.
Orihime spun around in her chair and faced the big screen.
"The Kurosaki's are throwing a party tomorrow in a discrete location.", reported the man
"However, with our gathered information, we've been able to trace the party back to the Kuchiki casino in down town Tokyo."
Aizen nodded his head and the man continued.
"The gala starts at 10pm and goes on all night. High class mob bosses such as Jugram Haschwalth and Shukuro Tsukishima in the underworld plan on attending. The plan is for Inoue-san to get her self into the casino and talk to Kurosaki, so at least a mutual acquaintanceship is established between the two."
"It seems awfully simple", stated Ulquiorra while placing the ipad down.
Sayzel emitted a sigh while adjusting his glasses
"Well it's not as easy as it seems", mentioned the man
"The only way to get into the gala is through an invitation, which Inoue-san did not receive. Without an invitation there's no way Inoue-san could set one foot inside of the vicinity. In addition to that, getting close to Kurosaki-san won't be an easy task as well. The man will have security surrounding him all night. I could try contacting his team and arrange for Inoue-san to get pass his security but even then that's not even guaranteed Aizen-sama.", finished Sayzel
"Hmm, that could be a problem now could'nt it?" asked Aizen
"Hai Aizen-sama"
Aizen turned his head towards Ulquiorra
"Any suggestions Ulquiorra?"
The said man stood up before continuing
"Despite Inoue-sama not receiving an invitation to the event-" Ulquiorra stopped before walking over to the computer, and pulling up an email.
"You did."
Ulquiorra clicked on the link in the email, revealing an invitation to the gala.
"If Inoue-san could go to the party in your name Aizen-san, then she could easily get pass
Kurosaki-san's security force."
Ulquiorra closed the lap top and retreated back to his seat while Aizen closed his eyes, processing the information that he was given. Aizen nodded his head as his eyes slowly closed, processing the information that had just been given; leaving the room in a uncomfortable sense of silence
Orihime twiddled with her thumbs as she sat anxiously in her seat, not knowing what to do next. Looking across the table, Orihime stared at Aizen's half drugged out Espada. How could these people be his top tier shadows? Why would Aizen pick a group of bums to be his most trusted men. Things weren't adding up right, leaving Orihime feeling anxious and straight out confused
The young matriarch was brought out of her thoughts when she heard Aizen clear his throat, releasing a deep raspy voice; causing everyone's head to shoot up in alert
The man stood from his seat as a smile graced upon his lips.
"Now with the information that Sayzel and Ulquiorra have provided us with, I am highly confident in my Espada to get this job done."
"Furthermore, in order to start faze one of the plan", Aizen took a deep breathe
" You will be representing me at this gala, as my niece."
"Why can't I just go as my self Aize.."
"If you went as your self, I'm sure Kurosaki's team wouldn't be to fond of having a un invited mob family into their highly prestige gala. Having you represent me as my nice, prevents any drama that would interrupt the plan", concluded the man
Despite not wanting to Orihime agreed with the man.
"Sure."
"Excellent. Now, I want Ulquiorra to send the invitation to Inoue-san so she'll won't have any troubles getting into the casino."
Aizen turned his attention to the blue hair Espada who laid lazily in his chair and the mint haired beauty who sat across from him
"Grimmjow and Neliel"
The blue hair man instantly jerked up in his chair
"I'm going to need both of your full cooperation in this mission."
Grimmjow and the green haired girl nodded at the man, listening intensively
"I need you both to help Inoue-san throughout this whole procedure", stated Aizen while pacing back and forth across the screen
"I need you to be Inoue-san's body guard for the night Grimmjow."
"WHATTTT",screamed Grimmjow and Orihime
Grimmjow shot up from his seat, glaring at Orihime
"I refuse to work with that red head bimbo Aizen-sama. After she threaten ya, I ain't working with that bitch." Declared the fuming blue hair man.
"And your acting like your any better you unstable psycho path.",shot back Orihime who glared right back at the man.
"Bitch do ya wan..."
Aizen stopped pacing and interrupted the fuming people at his table
"Both of you please here me out" said Azen with hands out
"I need someone who can be with Inoue-san, ensuring that everything goes according to the plan and that only person is you Grinmjow. I know that you'll be able to carry out the job Grimmjow, so please don't let me down."
Grimmjow rolled his eyes before murmuring agree with the man
"Good"
"And as for you Neliel, I need you to help make sure that Inoue-san is dressed to par tomorrow night. I know with your expertise you'll be able to fix her up."
"What the hell! I'm capable of picking out a damn outfit.", barked Orihime who was not please with the brown hair man words
"I guarantee that you are Inoue-san but I feel more comfortable leaving that job to Neliel", replied Aizen
"But i ca.."
"Inoue-san"
Aizen glared at Orihime
"Please just leave it to me"
Orihime huffed in annoyance before giving into the man.
"Excellent."
"Neliel will come over to the Inoue residence tomorrow around 8 to help you get dressed. You'll find Grimmjow in the club one way in another."
"Also, make sure you take your friends with you. We don't want, uninvited guest to ruin our party now would we?"

"The beginning of the end is near, as it grazes our finger tips, waiting to be grabbed in our hands. "

Aizen raised his glass

"Cheers to the rebirth of the Inoue empire begins as we begin our move on
taking over the world and claiming
what's rightfully

Orihime walked to the front door of her estate, preparing her self for the lecturing and questions that she was about to receive. Looking down at her iphone 6, Orihime groaned when saw 40 missed calls and 50 text messages from both Uryuu and Tatsuki. Slowly opening the glass front door, Orihime peaked her head inside the door, scanning inside to make sure no one was there. Sensing that the coast was clear, Orihime tipped toed inside, shutting the door behind her, but was quickly stopped when she embraced into a tight hug.
"Orihime are u okay?
"Where were you?"
"Why do you smell like smoke?"
"Oh my gosh don't scare us like that!"
"Why didn't you answer our phone calls?"
The lights flickered on, only revealing a puffy eyed Tatsuki who was clinging on to Orihime and an equally concerned Uryuu who was checking over Orihime's body for cuts and bruises.
"Guy's I'm fine", said Orihime, who was trying to reassure her friends
"I apologize for my behavior and how I've been acting lately, but things are gunna be getting better from now on"
Orihime smiled at Tatsuki and Uryuu, trying to convince them that she was indeed fine.
After breaking free from Tatsuki's deathly grip, Orihime excused her self to her room but was stopped when she felt a firm grim on her hand. Orihime looked back and saw Uryuu holding on to her arm.
"Pardon me for asking Inoue-san, but where exactly did you go today?", questioned Uryuu
Orihime gulped
What the hell was she suppose to say?
"A..an..ano, I went and visited a friend today."
"A friend?"
"Hai, a very good friend of mine", beamed the girl
Uryuu released Orihime's hand.
"Interesting"
"Actually, my friend invited all three of us to a party tomorrow. Of course I couldn't deny the invitation so I'd suggest that you guys get some sleep for tomorrow night!", proposed the girl while walking up the stairs
Tatsuki and Uryuu starred at her, before Uryuu cleared his throat
"Sorry Inoue-san, but I wont be attending this time. I have some house work that I'd li..."
"Awee Ishida-kun, don't be a party pooper, come and have some fun for once!", exclaimed Orihime, halting in her tracks while starring at the man
Tastuki nudged Uryuu
"Yeahh have fun for once you twerp"
Uryuu's vein throbbed as he began arguing with the girl
Orihime chuckled in amusement at her friends, while she trudged upstairs into her room, closing the door and awaiting the day to come
.

Uryuu watched Orihime shut her door to her chambers ignoring the badgering girl next to him
Something wasn't right
It was more than a feeling in his gut, it was something more than he could explain. His deranged friend went from the brink of sanity to all happy in less than 24 hrs.
That was beyond impossible.
Nothing could help her that fast, she was to far gone for that.
Where did she go?
"Tastuki, something isn't right", he said while turning away from the stairs
"Whaddaya mean?"
"Orihime couldn't have returned back to normal this quickly. Something isn't right."
Tatsuki groaned
"Seriously Uryuu,your over thinking things. Yes, Orihime hasn't been her self lately but she's fine now."
"But"
"Orihime is fine. She's back to her old self again. I get that you were worried, we all were. But you see her, she's smiling and laughing again. Stop being a prick and go get some sleep.
Uryuu nodded
"Maybe your right
Tatsuki laughed,
"Ofcourse I'm right baka, now get some sleep. We have a big day ahead of us and your gunna need your energy", said Tatsuki before turning the corner to her room, leaving Uryuu by himself
Maybe he was over thinking things
Uryuu closed his eyes and felt it again
No something was wrong
He felt it coming
As if things were about to take a turn for the worse
