Yuzumi looked back at Toshiro as she ran from the spot they returned to the human world from. She wanted to stay by his side but Aizen had ruined that forever. She realized that by living in the human world, even in hiding, she would only bring death to herself and those she loved. In her heart she knew the only place that she could ever call home would be Hueco Mundo but by returning to there Yuzumi would be admitting defeat to the one person she couldn't stand. Although Yuzumi never wanted to see Aizen again she was defeated and would have to return to her home in Los Noches if she wanted to live her life and not be killed.
"Yuzumi, it's time to come home." She looked up to see Renji standing in it with his hand outstretched. She nodded and took his hand although still filled with doubts.
"Our friends, our family, has become our enemy. There's nothing more either of us could do in this world." The tone of Renji's voice held a mutual sadness that they both felt deep in their hearts. As Yuzumi stepped from within the portal she looked around at the endless desert surrounding Los Noches. Yuzumi felt a strong burning sensation come from her side and looked at Renji with concern. The number three had appeared on Yuzumi's rib cage.
"Renji, where is my mother? Why have I gained her number?"
"She got in a fight with Aizen and Espada number one protected him. He ended her life peacefully at least." Yuzumi began to feel an immense rage building up inside herself. She started running towards Los Noches and arrived in a very short amount of time. She went straight to Aizen and drew her sword. Espada number one Stark stood in her way but the look in her eyes made even he step aside.
"I will slaughter you Aizen. You allowed my mother to be killed and you think you can just give me her damned number?!" When Aizen heard the word mother he looked shocked to say the least. He looked up at Gin to see if it was true and when even Gin confirmed it Aizen looked at Yuzumi apologetically. Yuzumi had no time for apologies as she drew her sword and held it at his neck. His face darkened as he looked at her with a stern expression.
"Yuzumi, remove the sword and we will talk in a civilized manner. I wasn't aware that Halibel was your mother." She laughed in his face.
"Bullshit." Yuzumi was surrounded by the other Espada as she glanced around. She snickered knowing this was what he wanted. He wanted her to return so she could return to exactly what they were before but that wasn't happening. Aizen reached up and grabbed Yuzumi's Zanpakuto although the blade easily cut into his hand he held tightly onto it. He stood up from his throne and grabbed Yuzumi by the hair, he pulled her to him, and looked down at her angrily. She returned the glare as he freed her Zanpakuto from her hand and stabbed it through her abdomen. Yuzumi's legs shook but she held her ground against him as he held her by her hair. Aizen threw Yuzumi down the steps that lead to his throne but easily straightened herself out and landed safely on her feet. Her hand covered the wound he had given her but she stared straight at him a malice he'd only seen once before on her mother. Stark tried to jump her but she avoided and kicked him into his ribcage hard enough that she broke the floor with his body. Aizen's eyes were wide as he hadn't even seen her move from her spot before Stark was taken down. Yuzumi was back in Aizen's face faster than he'd ever seen her move before. As she removed her hand from her wound and grabbed Aizen's hair her wound was gone.
"Yuzumi that is enough now. Come back to me." Yuzumi looked back at Renji and nodded. She let go of Aizen and jumped down to Renji's side where she stood at his side with an expressionless face much like Ulquiorra's. Aizen regained his composure and looked down at the Yuzumi who stood in front of him then to the unconscious Stark on the floor. Yuzumi felt her number disappear and reappear as she looked down at the spot where it used to be she noticed she was now Espada number one the strongest of them all. Renji gasped in pain as he gained the number zero on his side which stood for Espada number ten currently the weakest.
"You two will join my ranks as Espada, Yuzumi shall stay with Renji in one room and they will be a team. They are to be aided by Ulquiorra Cifer in their missions. You two are dismissed." Gin took control as Aizen set in his throne dumbfounded by what Yuzumi has become. He wondered in his mind if that was going to be a problem in the future but laid those thoughts to rest as he had Grimmjow escort Stark out to the medical lab.
"What has she become, Gin?"
"A product of your desires." Aizen looked down upon hearing those words and thought to himself: this wasn't what he wanted. Now it may be too late.
