"She's nothing special," reported Yammy to Hueco Mundo's king. The king looked towards Ulquiorra for confirmation.
"He's right Aizen-Sama. She's weak. She barely made it alive," said Ulquiorra in his matter of fact voice. "She has some shielding capability and a little fairythat helps her fight." He looked over the projection they were watching, showing images of the fight.
"Hmmm..." said Aizen nonchalantly not giving away any of his thoughts. There's something there, I know it. I'll find it.
Once the Yammy and Ulquiorra finished giving their accounts and left, Aizen turned to his closest comrades Gin and Kaname. "She's interesting and we don't know enough about her. Let's send someone to the field...what do you think about Ichigo?" He followed with a smirk.
Kaname spoke up, "Is that wise? He could be found out. What if someone recognizes him?"
"Call him in..." said Aizen.
Ichigo was a promising soldier in Aizen's army. Aizen was always looking for additional recruits. In reality, most of his army weren't "recruited," rather taken by force or manipulation though it had been easy enough to get the best Arrancars to fall to his feet when he decided to rule Hueco Mundo. He needed soldiers with special talents for the war he was soon going to wage.
Ichigo was special, a hybrid that Aizen watched for a long time. He was part hollow and had Quincy and shinigami bloodlines. He had vast amounts of spiritual power.
He was captured at 12. Aizen sent Grand Fisher to do the job: abduct Ichigo and knock Masaki unconscious. But Masaki wasn't easily taken down and got killed in the process of protecting her son that rainy afternoon.
Ichigo no longer remembered his past. Aizen erased his memory. At 18, he was tall - almost six feet - slightly lanky, with long legs and a muscular toned body. He kept his orange mane long and shaggy stopping just past his shoulders. He kept long bangs that almost covered his deep brown eyes. He was handsome. On his back, in the right upper corner, was a tattoo of the number 15. His rank. Like the Arrancars, he had a hole in his chest but only when transformed.
The traces of old Ichigo and his humanity were still there. He often refused to fight those that were clearly weaker than him and showed mercy during a fight. They all dismissed it as arrogance.
His handsomeness never went unnoticed and he took advantage of it. He had many lovers in Hueco Mundo but his constant lover was Tier. She pleased him in bed, she fought with him and was a good opponent, and very possessive of Ichigo.
Two days later...
There was a knock on Ichigo's door. "It better not be you, Tier," he yelled as he strode toward the door with Melony and Loly following at his heels. "I'm not in the mood."
He opened the door to a smiling Gin. "Aizen wants to see you."
They walked into Aizen's chambers. Kaname and Szayel were there already sitting around the conference table.
"Ahhh, there you are," smiled Aizen and motioned for Ichigo and Gin to take a seat. "I have an important assignment for you, Ichigo, one that requires you to go to the Human World. It's a surveillance job."
Ichigo questioned, "Isn't Ulquiorra best suited for a job like that?"
Aizen ignored his response. "You'll be there for a few months. Get as much information you can about her powers, any weaknesses, allies, and such." He pointed to the projection screen as she showed images of the fight between Orihime and Acidwire.
"Tchhh..." Ichigo snorted, thinking she was a small fry. "Why me?"
"Because, you can blend in the best in their society," answered Aizen. "You don't have a permanent mask like the rest of the Arrancars and this assignment requires you to blend in. You'll be posing as a human."
