"So you're finally awake?" The voice was unfamiliar to Nozomi.
Her eyes opened groggily to notice an attractive brown headed man sitting on a throne next to her. She put a hand up to her head to see that her hair was unusually soft. She felt awkward that her hair was the first thing she noticed, opposed to the fact she was in a totally different place. "W-Who are you?
"My name is Aizen Sosuke," he held out his hand so elegantly it made Nozomi blush slightly.
She took his hand shakily and noticed a sharp pain on her chest, "Ow, what the—"
Aizen interrupted her by explaining, "You see… I killed you. You became a hollow and then I used this special device to turn you into an arrancar. Also, you aren't just any type of hollow. You are a Gillian, which is the strongest type of Menos Grandes, a Gillian. An arrancar is a special type of hollow that has removed its mask. There are even more special types of arrancars called espada. They were the first arrancars created and the strongest, being assigned numbers 1-10. However, your powers have proved espescially incredible, so you have become one of the espada. Each espada has their number tattooed somewhere on their body. You are espada number 10.5, and you have been tattooed on your chest."
She didn't quite understand, for it was a lot of information to take in all at once, "I… um… okay?"
"How about you go with Tousen and just slightly peek at what an espada can do."
She nodded and stood up to see she did not like the outfit they picked out for her at all. It was basically the inverted version of her shinigami uniforms except the top was tighter and lower, and she did not like it. She still wasn't wearing shoes for some reason. She had just noticed that there was a mask that came down from the upper part of her face and curved below her eye. There were teeth on the bottom of the mask fragment that reminded her of shark teeth. On the exact opposite side of her face there was just a plain fat line a couple inches under her eye. The line was the same beautiful emerald color of her eyes. Her mask and pattern on her face made it look as if she was a part of the ocean.
"Ready to go, princess?" Tousen said princess sourly.
She nodded, grunting angrily at the word princess.
Tousen opened the gate from Hueco Mundo to earth and just let Nozomi watch Ichigo and Grimmjow fight for a minute. "Ichigo?" Was all Nozomi could say.
"Grimmjow could fight like this in his sleep…" Was all Tousen could respond with.
She stepped from the Hueco Mundo, Tousen following her. She looked at Tousen, "His name is Grimmjow, right?"
Tousen nodded dully, "And you know the other one's name."
"Grimmjow!" She yelled down to the two men fighting. She caught the eye of both of them, especially Ichigo.
Ichigo was surprised she was an arrancar and he asked, "So you are one of them?"
She looked at him in a pained expression as she mouthed silently, "Help me."
Of course Grimmjow was too caught up in Ichigo to see her mouthing to him, and Tousen was blind. Ichigo was staring at her and Grimmjow decided to sneak an attack on him, but before he could Nozomi stood infront of him and commanded, "That's enough."
"You can't tell me what to do!" Grimmjow screamed, "I'm an espada!"
She pulled on the right part of the chest on her uniform, showing him her espada tattoo, "Espada 10.5, Nozomi."
Grimmjow backhanded her forcefully, "I'm still higher up than you, peasant. I could force you to do anything."
"We're leaving," Tousen spoke loudly, causing Grimmjow to stop what he was doing.
She turned over to see Ichigo laying helplessly in a crater that was caused from Grimmjow punching him so harshly. "Tousen, may I speak to Ichigo for a moment?" Nozomi asked eagerly.
Tousen nodded, "You have thirty seconds."
She leapt down next to Ichigo and cupped her hands around his ear, now beginning to whisper into his ear, "Listen carefully… You need to contact the soul society and you need to save me. I will happily fight with them if they save me, but if they don't save me then I can't really help you. I will try to come here as much as possible, but you need to be ready for—"
"Time's up, let's go." She obeyed Tousen and left Ichigo, returning to Hueco Mundo now.
