"Master Ulquiorra please don't say meaningless stuff like that!" Rayona yelled at him and she looked at her sharply.
"Rayona, why don't you go and get some tea for our guests, you did cause this incident after all, didn't you?" He asked sharply and Rayona looked down and squeezed her hands together on her chest
"Y…. yes, Master Ulquiorra, as you wish I shall prepare the tea for you and our….. Guests." Rayona bowed slightly and disappeared behind a wall of mist and she shortly came out with a tray of tea cups and a tea pot.
She swiftly shifted the weight of it onto her left hand and stopped, waved her right hand gently over a section of the room and tables and chairs materialized out of nothing and she pointed at the tray and mist suddenly took it and it floated over to the table and the tea was already poured by the time the guests got to the table. Rayona took a seat next to Ulquiorra again and tried to control her anger, Shuhei kept staring at her, and Rayona smirked and pulled out a white and black shuriken and threw it at him. It just grazed his cheek and she pulled out more but didn't throw them, she smiled devilishly and he looked frightened. Ulquiorra put his hand on her knee and Rayona put her shuriken away after glancing at him surprised and then reluctantly she obeyed him, she gently grabbed her teacup and sipped the tea she made only moments ago, Ichigo sat there staring at them and Rayona ignored him the best she could. Ulquiorra set down his tea cup and opened his eyes slowly, he turned to Rayona, motioned for her to come close, he whispered something in her ear and she got up knelt down and then left in a hurry. He sighed at how serious she was and got up, lightly touched the vase on the table and spoke coldly, unemotional, but talking loud enough for them to understand what he wanted to say.
"I'm sorry if she has caused any trouble in Soul Society, she's always been a bit difficult to get a point across to, but Rayona-san has always been the most fast adapting of all Arrancar here, she is also the only one to evolve this far, she really is in the center point of Soul Reapers and Arrancar. I'm proud she is one of my children, all the others have failed me but, Rayona Marie Kuchiki is the successful child of my limitless failures." Ulquiorra said still staring at the vase and Rayona came back, knelt down, and reported to him like she actually was a servant. "I see then, well done Marie, you are free to go back to Soul Society with them, and I'll send Szayelaporro, Harribel, and Grimmjow to escort you back here when I need you again." Ulquiorra said to her and placed his hand on her head, Rayona looked up and smiled sadly.
"Yes, Master Ulquiorra." Rayona said and got up, she flicked her arm out to her side and once it was there she started glowing a bright gold, a flash blinded everyone for a few moments and when it was gone Rayona had her same outfit on but it was black like the Soul Reapers and she had the first division haori on but this time it was white with black letters down the back. "Hey, you nine foreigners over there; come with me now or I'll leave you behind and let Master Ulquiorra kill you off if you irritate him alright?" Rayona said harshly and then opened a Garganta effortlessly and stepped through, she ran to the other side and shortly after she arrived everyone else arrived.
Rayona looked around her at the beauty of the Soul Society, and suddenly as if triggered by her arrival back, suddenly Quincy's came rushing in and within minutes destroyed everything and everyone, Rayona was battling the top four ranked Quincy's in his army, she fought seriously and won easily because of her superior power. Rayona, although she defeated many opponents, never moved from one section of the Soul Society, there was no way that she could get past this, Rayona finally had enough and her reiatsu exploded out in a pillar of deep purple with white and black lightning surging all around it and when the dust cleared after the pillar of reiatsu disappeared, everything was gone, on the buildings and solid ground were left in her area. Someone snuck up behind her after she controlled her power to stop and stabbed her repeatedly all over her body and then right through the heart, blood spewed out of her mouth and she fell backwards with her eyes and mouth open. Renji had come flying through the area and he saw her, his eyes widened in shock and he took her back to the squad 4 barracks, Captain Unohanna and all of the other Soul Reapers were shocked because Rayona had been wounded this badly. Her vital points were dropping rapidly and the only thing that could keep her alive was to have Captain Class Soul Reapers put their energy into her, as Captain Unohanna was hooking Captain Kenpachi Zaraki onto a machine, a Garganta opened up in the room and Arrancar stepped out. Ulquiorra, Grimmjow, Halibel, Yammy, and Stark all came out of the Garganta and all of the Soul Reapers were in a defensive position, and some of them ready to attack, the Arrancar ignored them and went up to Rayona's bed, Ulquiorra lightly caressed her cheek and brushed a strand of hair off her face, he turned around and spoke strictly.
"Alright, everyone that has come with me today, pour your spirit energy into her, we must save her at all costs. Do you understand everyone?" Ulquiorra asked seriously, looking at Rayona with sad eyes and he lightly touched her hand.
A moment later all of the Espadas, Arrancar, and the Numeros were gathered and were all pouring their spirit energy into Rayona and after they finished for that day, she gave off a pulsing effect, and her eyes opened, she stayed conscious for a few minutes then her stats dropped again but stayed at very low, stable levels. Rayona had been abducted by someone mysterious when all of the Soul Reapers were out of the Squad 4 barracks, alongside with Byakuya Kuchiki, Rukia Kuchiki, Renji Abarai, and Ichigo Kurosaki, they headed off to where the Soul King was and where the zero division stayed. She awoke suddenly and gasped for air desperately and clung to the edge of the spring, she looked over and a member of the zero division was sitting in there with her and Byakuya and Rukia were somewhere in the water. She stood up and covered herself with a towel, the guy stood up and Rayona looked at him curiously, she asked what was wrong and inched closer to see his face. He clenched his fist and all of a sudden he punched her in the stomach, she hunched slightly and coughed up small droplets of blood, he looked at her and smiled.
"Very good! Now you can move on and catch up with Ichigo and Renji! Put your clothes on and get outta here, scram Rayona!" The man pushed her out and when she didn't move he slapped her butt and she darted back inside to change.
Rayona changed into her Arrancar based Shinigami robes and put on her captains haori, she then made her way over to the next one and saw a bunch of food, Kirio hugged her, almost suffocating her with her breasts, Rayona pushed her away and sat down. She ate and ate since Kirio would kill her if she didn't, once she regained her energy and strength Rayona moved onto the next place. She looked disgusted because there were only women on the island, she got lead to a shack on a cliff, she got pushed down into the shack, she was falling for a long time, and she landed on her feet in a cat stance, he held up her Zanpaktu's and broke them against each other. Suddenly she heard cries of anger, sadness, and hatred, Rayona turned around surprised and saw all white beings with no mouths, and then their eyes were mouths, but it looked like they were crying, she opened her arms and caught one. She sung a lullaby in Japanese, one that soothed the white beings and calmed them down.
"You know, manipulation of the heart, mind, and body is my forte, although these white beings are extraordinary, I wouldn't expect them to be any different from the other shinigami, Quincy, humans, and the clean Zanpaktu, a Zanpaktu with no shape or characteristic to distinguish it from the others. It's sad the lives they lead, being placed into wondering hands, also, being used to fit their needs, neglected, unwanted, but down here, they comfort each other. Such pitiful beings, it's so sad that they cannot be free from those whom are misusing them and placed into the hands of loving, caring, and content beings, like Kana and Sayaku, like Byakuya and Rukia, Unohanna and old man Yama, they all love and cherish their Zanpaktu." Rayona said stroking a sleeping Asauchi's, or white being's, head smiling, all of them laying, sleeping soundly around her, the man looked down at her and smiled.
"Well done Rayona-chan~! The Asauchi have chosen you! Now go and catch up to Renji-chan!" He exclaimed happily and Rayona's eyes went wide.
"Where's Ichigo-kun!?" She yelled, standing up abruptly, "Damn you! What have you done to Ichigo-kun!?" She clenched her fists and grits her teeth, he smiled and when Rayona got up back out of the shack, Sakurako and KuroiHonooNoko were materialized and their wounds healed, Rayona's face lit up and she ran over to them happily. "Sakurako! KuroiHonooNoko! I'm so happy you two are alright!" She hugged both of them at the same time and they smiled, hugging her, tears of happiness ran down her cheeks.
"Hey, no need to fret, of course we're alright, but that hurt when he broke us apart, we've been returned to normal because of your extraordinary powers. Listen to me Rayona, you've been through so much, but this time you have to be able to be even stronger, please Rayona, I'm begging you, don't do this anymore, I don't want you to suffer any longer." Sakurako said smiling, he then grabbed her by the shoulders seriously, he sunk to his knees and tears ran down his face. Rayona smiled and hugged him, he hugged her tightly with his face on her stomach and he looked shocked, he pulled back and looked up at her in surprise. "Rayona you… I can't believe this! Rayona you Pre-" Sakurako exclaimed and she covered his mouth.
"Sh, please don't say anything about it Sakurako, I need to keep it a secret until we can get out of here and into the human world, alright? KuroiHonooNoko, you too, don't say anything at all." She hissed and KuroiHonooNoko smiled and said oops, Rayona's eyes were shadowed and suddenly blue flames surrounded her.
Sakurako looked scared and for the first time, KuroiHonooNoko looked deathly afraid of her master, Rayona turned to her and walked toward her, hair ablaze and flying and flowing with the flames upward, Rayona reached forward and her eyes turned yellow with cat pupils. Suddenly she fell to her knees with her eyes closed, fell forward and caught herself, Rayona started throwing up and held her stomach in pain, the man looked at her grinned, confirming what Sakurako was going to say. She held her stomach with one hand as it hurt tremendously, Sakurako held her hair out of the way and stayed there with her, KuroiHonooNoko rubbed her back gently to comfort her. She was shaking and she clutched her stomach, frightened about what will happen to the new life growing inside of her, Sakurako hugged her and she felt a strong wave of pain, a gasp of shock to the extreme level of pain escaped her mouth and she fell backwards. Sakurako caught her and then asked if she could wait to move on, since she was in pain and that she now had another life to support and protect. The smiled and told them to go back to the healing island to let her rest and he'll have a couple Zanpaktu girls care for her and the new life inside her, she woke up and she suddenly sat up, scaring the Zanpaktu girls. Rayona looked around and suddenly hunched forward, holding her mouth, the Zanpaktu girls rushed her to the bathroom and she yet again threw up, Sakurako and KuroiHonooNoko stood at the door to the bathroom, looking sad.
"Ugh, I hate this morning sickness… why does it have to suck this bad?" Rayona said as she rinsed her mouth and washed her hands, she looked in the mirror and saw herself as a disgusting monster, one whom didn't belong to any species, part hollow, part soul reaper, an abomination. "Alright, I guess I can get back to work, it'll be fun to see how they react when they find out, but I'll hold out on that information for now." Rayona giggled and went back out to see the owner of this island and he sent her directly to the Zanpaktu maker. "Alright I'm back sorry it took so long." Rayona said nonchalantly and he smiled at her, she then went on to the next location where she had strip down so the woman, Senjumaru Shutara, could take her measurements. "Alright now onto the eyeball monk's island I guess." Rayona sighed and moved onto the next island lazily, she stepped foot on it and she felt a slight pressure change in the reishi concentration in the air around the place.
Rayona felt something move in her stomach and looked down, she placed her hand over her stomach and moved it slightly, a look of concern and sadness crossed her face and she heard two people yell in exhaustion. She glanced up and saw Rukia and Renji, she looked sad again and the door opened, the leader, Ichibei Hyōsube, came out and greeted her, she smiled and then felt even more pressure. Her eyes widened and she held her stomach, trying to breathe, Ichibei asked her if she was alright and grabbed her arm, helping her to stand, he asked her the one question she had dreaded that anyone would ask her eventually.
"Oh my Rayona, are you by chance… pregnant?" Ichibei asked her holding a hand to her stomach with his other arm around her, she looked at him shocked then it turned to shame, she sighed and sat down on the steps.
"Yes, I am Ichibei. I didn't want to tell anyone because I feared they would reject me, calling me names and labeling me things I am not. It just… happened, and now I have to bear the burden in my body of what "just happened"." Rayona told him looking sad and emotionally betrayed and unstable; Ichibei put his hand on her shoulder and smiled at her brightly.
"But the up side is that you can finally have a family, you'll finally be able to move on, listen Rayona… you've matured and I believe in you, in the future I have faith that your child will be raised to be a respectful person and someone whom others can depend on… just like their mother." He chuckled to her and she smiled at him, thanked him then stood up, following him into the main building with Rukia and Renji following behind them. "Rayona, Mina will escort you to a separate room, I've already made the preparations since your case is a bit special, I'll make sure no harm comes to you and your children." Ichibei said smiling and her eyes widened; the word 'children' instead of 'child' ringing in her mind, he nodded and told her that indeed they were twins, she looked happy and hugged him smiling.
