It was still dark out. All the slaves were in the mess hall, staring at the scene they have just witnessed. The room was completely silent as A man that no one would have guessed, stood up for the squad eleven Lieutenant, Yachiru. The candles in the room were so bright that the room looked like a fancy hall. Some watchers stood by the door and others scattered around the room, watching the scene closely.


" Well?" Ulquiorra said. Yeah, it was Ulquiorra who said those words. The man grunted and narrowed his eyes, " w-we can still go without her! Everyone would just have to work even harder than they usually do!" He said. all the slaves grunted. If they could barely handle the work they have now, then what makes the man think they could handle more?! Ulquiorra merely smirked lightly. Which threw off alot of people. " Why the hell are you smirking?!" The man qustioned as he took out his whip, ready to lash him.

Ulquiorra looked down at the young, pink haired girl. Then he looked at the man, " give her some more food, and i will personally harvest all the fruits and vegetables tomorrow." He said to the man. Yachiru stared up at Ulquiorra, teary eyed. Was he really willing to do that for her. If he does that then a lot of them wouldn't have to work tomorrow. But if he doesn't finish the work, then he'll be whipped if he doesn't die before then. " Are you positive you want to do that? if you don't complete the task you will surely be whipped five times more than usual lashes." he said.

Ulquiorra nodded his head. But before he could say anything else the arrancars looked at him, " Ulquiorra..." Yammy mumbled. Orihime looked at Ulquiorra while frowning. She doesn't want him to die, not even work alone for the whole day. Ulquiorra looked at his fellow arrancars. Then looked at the man, " I am sure." He said. Nnoitra grunted, " You idiot.." He mumbled. The man growled a bit. He looked at the other guards before sighing, " Alright! Seconds for everryone." He said. Yachiru was the first to get her meal.

Yachiru smiled weakly and went back to her table and sat between Kenpachi and Yumichika. Ulquiorra sighed heavily and went back to his seat, and sat there silently. His bowl was full anyways. He doesn't really need to eat. Plus, he would prefer souls. Unfortunately, he can't do that here. It would end in someone dear to him getting hurt for something he does. Meaning Orihime. He cared for no one else except her. But he was still willing to save the pink haired shinigami from being whipped. The cafetiria men walked around putting another scoop of Fruit, rice and some type of beans in their bowls.

Instantly, everyone started eating, including most arrancars. " Bunch of savages." The man mumbled before walking back to his station. after the slaves finished their food, Kenpachi, Ikkaku and Yumichika went to Ulquiorra and thanked him for helping Yachiru. It was rather odd seeing Kenpachi thank an arrancar, but he was grateful to know that Yachiru could live another day. She was still very young. So she could die from pratically anything. Sickness, disease, starvation, heat, anything!

" We are in your dept." Yumichika said, bowing a bit. Yachiru went over and hugged Ulquiorra with a smile on her face. Ulquiorra looked down at her, emotionless. He lightly patted her head. soon enough the bell sounded and everyone got up and headed to their appropirate buildings. there were six buildings. One building full of one race. Shingami in one building, Vizards in another, humans in another, but since their were only two quincies ( Sorry not up to date with the manga ) They were stuck with the humans.

But since Ichigo is practically everything ( Sorry for spoilers!) He was put with the Vizards. It was pretty hard to find a place for him, he was a human, a quincy, a shinigami, a vizard and a freakin' fullbringer. But anyway, he was put with the Vizards. That means he won't be able to see his sisters until breakfast. So it really sucked for him. As everyone got to their right buildings, people began getting in their beds. there were bunkbeds with three beds, smallest person on the top, biggest at the bottom. For example; Hiyori would be on top, in the middle would be shinji and on the bottom would by Love.

There were never enough beds so some of them had to share one bottom bed. Sometimes it would be two to a bed, sometimes three. Let's just say it was rather uncomfortable. As the sky was filled with darkness, and candles were lit in the rooms, everyone just laid there in awkward silence. " Hey captain...Do you think we'll ever get out of this place?" Tetsuzaemon asked Sajin. Sajin; on the bottom bed; said. " I am not sure tetsuzaemon. Let's just hope we do." He told his lieutenant. Rukia listened to Sajin's words.

She frowned deeply and laid in between Renji and Byakuya, she asked Renji to lay with her while she laid with her brother. Byakuya was already asleep, he was exhausted and in a lot of pain. Renji laid in that small bed, looking down at rukia, running his fingers through her hair to keep her relaxed. He remembered what happened ealier, her screaming so loud seeing Byakuya be whipped scared him, let alone made him worry for both Rukia and his captain. Rukia was relaxed at Renji's gentle touch. She just watched her brother sleep.

Rukia could tell he was in pain, never again does she want him to get hurt again. " Renji, can you promise me something?" She said to him, not making eye contact. " Yeah. What is it?" He asked. " Promise me... You'll watch over Nii-sama tomorrow." She said, turning to him, tears falling down her pale cheeks. " I promise." Renji said and gently wiped her tears away. " LIGHTS OUT!" A man shouted through a speaker phone. one by one candles were put out as each building was consumed by darkness..
