Aizen walked down the hallway that lead to the laboratory of Szayelaporro Grantz. He had a new idea in mind that he knew that Szayel would know how to make a reality. Knocking twice he entered the lab and saw that it was a bit of a mess. "Nnoitra, if that's you I told you no. Oh, Lord Aizen what can I help you with?" Szayel asked as he came around a corner.

"Syayel, I want you to make Ichigo an arrancar. He is to join our ranks. I don't care how you do it. Can I leave it to you?"

"Of course. Now is there a time limit in which you want him an arrancar?"

"I want him turned before his friends come to rescue him." Aizen then turned to leave the lab. "Also, clean up a little would you."


Ichigo was bored out of him mind. He gave up on trying to find a way out an hour ago. The walls seemed to be invincible. Suddenly the door opened to reveal a Grimmjow running at him. 'What the hell?' When Grimmjow got to him he clicked a collar like band around Ichigo's neck.

Ichigo felt like he had been hit by a bus and became limp on the couch. "There, almost forgot that, Grimmjow said as he looked down at Ichigo.

"What did you do to me?" He really felt like dieing. He lifted his head to try to look at the thing that was placed around his neck.

"Nothing much, just a retsu restrainer. Now go to sleep. You can't stay awake all the time or are you waiting that your friends are coming for you? How cute," Grimmjow said as he laughed.

"Yes, I do believe that they are coming for me and Orihime."

"Yeah yeah, keeping telling yourself that. Without you, the soul society doesn't have enough power to even be a match against us. If they do come here as you say then they will be slaughtered and you will have a front row seat."

"You're disgusting, you cold hearted bastard!" Grimmjow laughed at Ichigo's naive words.

"Shinigami, I have no heart. No hollow does. Well I suppose that I should take you to lunch." Waving a hand, Ichigo followed Grimmjow out into the hallway and down many corridors. They reach a door that had the words Cafeteria above it. Grimmjow push the door open with one hand and walked in. Inside were Ulquiorra, Szayel, Stark, Lilynette, Harribel and of course Nnoitra. Stark was asleep with Lilynette poking him, Ulquiorra seemed to be ignoring everyone, and Harribel Nnoitra, and Szayel were in a conversation.

"Yo Grimmjow, I see you brought the new prisoner along with you." Nnorita said as he got up from the table. "You look nice in our outfit."

"Piss off twig, we're just here for food."

"My, aren't we all."

"Say one more thing and I can promise you a world of hurt."

"If you want a fight then bring it on!" By now the two of them were face to face. Ichigo rolled his eyes and look around once more. He notice the one with pink hair walking toward him.

"You must be Kurosaki Ichigo. I am Szayelaporro Grantz but you can call me Szayel. You must be hungry, come I shall get you something."

"Nice to meet you and thanks." 'This guy kinda creeps me out.' Ichigo sat down at a table and waited for Szayel to return.

"Sorry, there isn't as much of an option of food as there is in the world of the living," Szayel said as he set down a try of food.

"That's fine and thanks." He watched as Szayel sat down opposite of him. "Do you by any chance know where Orihime is?"

"The one with the orange hair like yours? Yes, she is in her room." Ichigo took a bite of the food and it was disgusting. Nothing like the food Grimmjow brought him. He must of went to the world of the living for food, which is weird.

"Is it possible that I could see her?"

"Maybe, but you would have to clear that with Ulquiorra over there. He's her overseer." Szayel pointed to the espada with the black hair and green tear marks on his face. Ichigo got up after eating his food and was hit by a wave of dizziness. "Whoa." Ignoring his head he headed over to where Ulquiorra was siting. He looked up as Ichigo approached.

"I hear that you're the one that is holding Orihime."

"Yes, that is correct."

"I want to see her." As he said this he got a serious look on his face. Ulquiorra studied him for a bit.

"No, you may not see her."

"What, why?"

"Ichigo there you are." Grimmjow walked over to them. "Never thought that you could loss someone in this room," he muttered.

"Grimmjow keep a better watch on your prisoner if you are losing him in a room like this," Ulquiorra said as he moved his gaze to the blue haired man approaching.

"What I do is none of your business, you vampire. Come on, I see that you already ate so lets go." Grimmjow turned to walk away but found that Ichigo wasn't following.

"Grimmjow, I want to see Orihime."

"Urg, lets talk about that later. Now, come on I have stuff to do than baby sit you." Ichigo and Grimmjow left the room and headed back to the room where Ichigo was being kept.

"Vampire?" Ulquiorra muttered to himself.


Grimmjow and Ichigo made it to the room and walked inside. "As I said before I have stuff to do, so behave and stay in this room."

"Yeah, well it's not like I can leave anyways." Ichigo walked over to the couch and sat down.

"If you desperately need something find Ulquiorra or Harribel. I don't trust like anyone else. Actually, I don't trust anybody." He walked out of the room and like before there was a soft click of the door locking.

"Another day to come tomorrow." Ichigo sat up at looked at the door. "And tomorrow I will see Orihime."
