"Aizen-sama. Yuki-chan's here, and she brought another girlie," Gin says once you enter the giant castle in Los Noches. You hesitate before looking up, "Where is my brother?" you ask staring into his deep hazel eyes.

"Yukiko, I'm glad to see you decided to come," his voice silky smooth. Although his voice had not changed, it now gave you shivers.

"My brother," you repeat.

"Ah yes. He is fine, however," he pauses. Suddenly, two Espada appear behind you, and knock you out cold. "I am not planning on returning him," an evil grin spreading across his lips.


~Rukia POV~

After the Espada had knocked out Yuki, you were dragged off in the other direction. Now, you sat in a jail cell with Hitsugaya-taichou. The young captain looked tired and beaten. "H-Hitsugaya-taichou!" you say in shock.

"Kuchiki Rukia? What are you doing here?" he replies.

You don't know how to respond. How could you tell him that his sister betrayed Soul Society? Just as you are about to respond, someone opens the door.

"Nee-chan!" you hear the captain cry. You look over your shoulder and see, Yuki, but she was a completely different person. Her shinigami clothes and captain's haori are now replaced with the Espada attire. She wore a white tube top that just covers her breasts and a large overcoat over it. For the bottoms she wore the normal arrancar pants. However, there was an ocean blue gem imbedded in the middle of Yuki's chest.

"You, shinigami boy. Do not use such familiar terms with me," Yuki hisses.

"What are you talking about? I'm your brother!"

You could sense a fight about to start, so you interrupt, "My greatest apologies Hitsugaya-sama." You bow deeply to your ex-friend, hoping she would accept your apology.

She grunts in disgust, "I suggest you learn a thing or two from the Kuchiki girl. Especially if you want to stay alive 'till your comrades come." She whips around and heads for the door.

"Hitsugaya-taichou?" you ask seeing his befuddled expression.

"What happened to Yuki?" he murmurs. You cringe, but don't reply. "Kuchiki Rukia, tell me!" You hesitate, but explain how Yuki had betrayed Soul Society to save him. How she fought for his safety, even thought it meant deceiving her friends.


~3rd person~

Yukiko walks back to Sosuke full of disgust. "Filthy shinigami," she mutters. As she approaches Sosuke's thrown, she notices Gin watching her closely. "The captives are fine, Aizen-sama," Yukiko reports.

"Excellent," he replies. Yukiko stood there waiting for any more orders.

"How?" Gin asks.

"She belongs completely to us. Her loyalty is as strong as any member of the Espada," Sosuke replies

"And her shinigami memories?"

"Most have been erased. She'll still recognize faces, but has no feelings for them."

An evil grin spread across Gin's face.

"However," this time it was Yukiko who spoke "the curse…is young. I…won't stay…caged forever." She chokes out. Both leaders stare at her, Gin face held shock while Sosuke's was emotionless as ever.

"That may be true, but you must use all your strength to say those few words. While I can do this," he snaps his fingers "and you're mine again."

True to his words, Yukiko fell back to the insensible state she was in before.

"Whata strong will," Gin mutters. "Are ya sure we can trust'er?"

"It'll be fine. Soon enough she will not be able to fight back any more," he says while watching red veins begin to pierce the pure cerulean gem. Upon seeing Gin's uncertain expression Sosuke asks, "Do you question my judgement?"

"'Course not Aizen-sama, it's just that," the silver-haired man trails off at the end.

"Yukiko, come here," Sosuke summons. She moves without hesitation, her ice blue eyes now dull. "Yes, Aizen-sama?" she murmurs.

"Kill yourself."

"Yes, Aizen-sama." Yukiko drew her sword and was about to plunge it through her heart when Sosuke orders, "Stop." She stops, the sword tip just touching her skin. "Now kill me."

"Aizen-sama," Gin warns.

"No," the girl replies, shocking Gin.

"Why not?" Sosuke asks a smirk spreading across his face.

"Because I cannot harm Aizen-sama."

"I believe she will do well as a pawn. And if not, I'll dispose of her like everyone else that disappoints."

Meanwhile, the shinigami in Seireitei are planning a rescue for all the captured companions.


~In Soul Society~

"You don't plan on letting us sit around while Aizen has two captains and Rukia!" Renji shouts. All the captains and lieutenants are at a meeting discussing what to do about the latest perfidy.

"Yuki wasn't lying. She wouldn't fight so hard for a lie," Soi Fon put in. Suddenly, Yukiko's close friends begin shouting in her defense. While others accuse her of being just as treacherous as Sosuke. Within minutes a verbal battle erupted in the captain's hall.

"Silence!" Yamamoto shouts. Everyone quickly stops talking. "I believe that Hitsugaya Toshirou has been captured, and we all know Rukia is being held hostage. However, the judgment on Hitsugaya Yukiko's actions will be left to the captain's of each squad. A vote will be held; from there we will decide what to do about her. All who believe that Hitsugaya Yukiko has joined Aizen's forces please move to the left of the room. All who oppose to the right."

The captains move to their respective sides of the room. "Then it's settled we-"
