I opened my eyes, the anesthetic from my father's latest experiment finally wearing off, and looked around me. I expected to see blood-drenched surgery implements and organs in jars and dead bodies hanging from the black walls. But what I was seeing now shocked me. It was so beautiful, a white sanded landscape with dead trees here and there with a full moon for light. I thought that I had died, but I remembered once hearing from another one of my father's experiments a description of this place. Hueco Mundo I believed it was called. But why was I here?

"Father?" I called out, thinking that maybe he was just doing another experiment ome already.

No answer.

I got up and noticed at once that was not an experiment, as there was no monitoring system attached to me. Not only that, I heard the calls and screams of Hollow. So, this was real, but how did I get here?

"Hey, Ulquiorra, it's a girl. Should we take her to Aizen?" An unseen voice asked.

A softer, equally unseen voice answered, "She would make an attractive mate, but not a very useful one,"

The first voice spoke again, "But she could be. What do you say we test her skills?"

"Very well," The second voice concluded.

I watched in horror as two strange-looking people appeared at either side of me. One looked bored already and clearly wasn't expecting much out of me. The other one looked quite eager to fight me.

I jumped back, using spirit particles to form a base under my feet, "Where am I? Who are you?"

"Our domain is Hueco Mundo, and I am Maria Del, and this is Ulquiorra. Who are you and why do you posses such a skill?" The first voice asked me.

I formed a small cross-bow and aimed it at them, "I'm Yasu Kurotsuchi and I'm a mix of Quincy and Shinigami, but my abilities have been altered by excessive experimentation,"

My hair and dress flapped around me as my arrow grew. I fired it as the blue light around me turned pure white. With that single strike, I killed the female, Maria Del. The male looked at me, mildly impressed.

"You could be useful after all," He mused, "Yasu, how would you like to have a purpose in life? Come with me and meet my master,"

I was hesitant, but all I ever wanted was a purpose beyond being a test dummy, "Alright,"

So I followed him to Aizen. I was burning up to ask him things, but I knew that he was not one to mess with, so I refrained. Finally, I was presented to a room full of people. There I saw the most beautiful man I have ever set my eyes on. He was clearly the leader, as he had the fiercest spiritual pressure, yet he was standing with two other men that also had high spiritual pressure.

"Aizen-sama," My escort bowed before him and followed his example.

"What's this?" He demanded in an uninterested voice.

"If you'd be so kind?" Ulquiorra asked, pulled his eye from his skull, and crushed it.

Visions of our meeting filled my head and I realized he was an observer. Aizen smirked at what he saw. I knew that I had found a place to belong.

"Yasu Kurotsuchi, is it? You are indeed a powerful woman," Aizen looked at me for the first time.

"Thank you. I have a request to ask in exchange for my unquestioning services though,"

"Oh?" He was intrigued my nerve I wouldn't doubt.

"Yes. In exchange for my services, I would request that," I blocked everyone else from my mind but Aizen and myself so I had the guts to ask this now, "That I be your lover,"

"That is an interresting request,"

Still ignoring everyone else, I took a few steps closer to him, "I only request that you allow us to tangle the sheets. I request nothing more than that,"

With such a good deal, there is no way he'd say no to that, "Before I give my final answer, I wonder about your past experiences?"

I took another step forward, "I have no experience in that or anything close,"

"Very well then, I accept your terms,"

I knew I could not trust him, but I still wanted him, because in my mind, I was in love with him. That feeling only grew as time passed. He knew that and used it against me well, but I let him. I was content, the only man who could touch me was Aizen, and so it stayed.


Ichigo's

POV:

After hearing Haku's statement about me being cute, I froze and my inner Hollow dragged me down for a heart-to-heart.

"Hey partner," He laughed, standing above me.

"What the hell do you want?" I demanded, thinking about how to get back to the real world outside of my head.

Hollow me moved next to me, "Partner, we've had a good run and I never ask you for a single thing,"

I let out a small, bark-like laugh, "You ask me to die almost everyday!"

"See, even you agree with me," He slapped my back.

I raised my eyebrow at him but remind silent, hoping that once he was done I could rejoin my friends.

"Partner, that new girl, Haku-"

I turned to my inner Hollow and gave myself whiplash in the process, "What the hell about her?"

He sighed like a love-sick puppy, "She's so pretty, and dark, and demented, and just the perfect woman! I must have her!"

I shuddered, "What the fuck is your damage?"

"Oh, but partner, haven't you realized yet how you feel about her?"

I blushed and looked away, "Don't be stupid,"

Hollow me laughed, "Haha, you kill me! I know that you like her, and the sooner you come to terms with that, the better!"

"Even if I did like her, and I'm not saying that I do, but if I did, she's taken," I told the annoying creep that lives in my body.

"Please, even Zangetsu knows about your close conversation last night, and he's buried deeper than you can imagine," The Hollow grew bored, "Well, just remember this, she is a keeper for all of us,"

With that said, my inner Hollow disappeared and I was forcibly thrown back into the real world, only to hear the bell ring and to dash back to class.
