Okay here is the next chapter! Enjoy!

Chapter 1: Information

Miaka was thrown inside a small white room. She quickly stood up and turned toward the door to see the tall, lanky man grinning at her evilly through the crack.

"Stay in here for now, weakling. And don't even try escaping or I'll kill you, bitch," he said and the door closed leaving Miaka alone in the room.

"It's not like I can, you cocky bastard," she growled lowly and flopped down on the bed. "Seika…" she sighed and lowered her head.

-------------

Seika was taken to a small room and thrown on a medium sized bed. She growled and struggled a moment to sit up, before leaning her back on the wall for support.

"Watch her," the man whispered to them before walking out the door, leaving Seika alone with the two men.

Seika ignored them and closed her eyes, meditating.

'Miaka!' she called out in her mind.

------------------

Miaka looked up, startled at the sound. "Seika? Hey, Seika where are you? You in here?"

'No, I don't know where I am. A small room is all I can tell you. You too, I take it,' Seika replied.

'Yeah, I'm all alone,' she thought.

'We're on opposite sides of the castle….Lucky you. I'm stuck in my room with two lackeys of that leader guy. The guy that captured you is outside your room as if waiting for you to burst through the door.'

'Really? Wow, you're good.'

'I'm used to doing this remember?'

'Yeah. You've never explained why though..'

'Honestly, I don't know how or why..'

'Seika?'

'Yeah? What is it Miaka?'

' Is there any way for you to find out anything about this place and it's occupants?'

'Sure, but it'll take awhile. I'll get back to you soon.'

'I'll wait,' Miaka thought before the link between the two girls cut off.

------------------------

Seika concentrated as she tried to find her way to anything in the castle that would help her better understand where they were and who all had captured them. She smiled to herself as she found a lab with a large screened computer just sitting, unattended. 'Too bad I can't waste time trying to mess up their computer,' she thought as she willed the computer to her will. She pulled up numerous files of the occupants and the castle's layout before she felt a presence closing in on the lab.

Seika quickly put everything the way it was and watched as she saw the doors open to reveal the man who had taken a hold of her legs when she and Miaka had first arrived, though now she knew his name. Szayel Aporro Granz, the eighth Espada of Sosuke Aizen's strongest arrancar.

Seika re-opened her link with Miaka. 'Hey, Miaka?'

'Yeah?' her friend asked on the other side.

'You might want to know that the guy who captured you goes by the name Nnoitora Jiruga. He is one of Sosuke Aizen's, the man that used his spiritual pressure on us to break my barrier, strongest men known as Espada. Espada means 'ten swords' so naturally there are ten espada. Nnoitora is number five,' Seika explained to her friend the best she could.

'So you're telling me that everyone here is an..arrancar? And there are ten powerful arrancar known as 'Espada', and one of them, the fourth strongest at that, just happened to be the one I got dragged away by?' came her friend's hysterical reply.

'To put it simply, yes. The realm we are in is called 'Hueco Mundo' and the castle is known as 'Las Noches'. There are over one hundred arrancar living here, and ten of the strongest arrancar technically have their own towers and fraccion. Fraccion are lower leveled arrancar, and almost each espada has a fraccion. The only people who are not arrancar are Sosuke Aizen, that silver haired man whose name is Gin Ichimaru, and a black, blind man, whom we haven't met yet, known as Kaname Tousen, who are soul reapers that betrayed another realm known as the 'Seireitei' also referred to as the 'Soul Sociey'. Those three are referred to as the 'leaders' of Hueco Mundo, but the real leadership lies with Sosuke Aizen.'

'Wow, that's a lot to take in. You found out a lot about this place didn't you?'

'Yeah, and I've memorized a lot of names and faces. Good thing I can handle a lot of information.'

'Yeah, well I can't. Don't tell me anything more of I'll never remember it all.'

Seika almost laughed out loud at her friend's comment. Same old Miaka, even in a situation like the one they were in now. 'Don't worry, I'll feed this information to you slowly, and repeatedly if I have to. Well, since you can no longer handle anymore information, I'll leave you be and to your thoughts to process all I've told you.'

--------------------

Miaka smiled at this and replied, 'Thank you, but still keep in touch ok?'

'Of course,' Seika replied and closed the link once more.

Just as the link closed, Miaka heard a noise and quickly looked up as the door opened to reveal…
