Juushiro was peering over the edge of his cup, his brown eyes sparkling in amusement as he watched the men before him. Renji looked furious, constantly shooting daggers at Grimmjow as if the blue haired man was the spawn of the devil himself, Grimmjow trying his hardest not to notice those looks, but Juushiro knew he did the way his teeth were clenched. Starrk sitting in-between them like an unwilling piece of meat that had just about reached the limits of its patience, Urahara desperately trying not to roll his eyes and laugh for he knew that was just what the man wanted to do and Shunsui, his ever constant companion at his elbow, his warmth emanating from him as he watched the little play unfold with hooded and unreadable eyes. Juushiro had listened to both arguments, had watched Renji's face contort into several stages of colors and expressions of rage as what the blue haired espada was saying finally sunk in. He had to agree, it made sense, and he had known all along that Renji and Starrk would eventually be separated somehow. His lips ghosted into a smile as Renji hurled a piece of cutlery at Grimmjow cursing him and all of his relatives back to where they came rather colorfully, all part of Renji's charm he supposed. He felt Shunsui's body vibrate with a chuckle, and then slowly like music to his ears he heard the laughter rising up and lazily pouring from his lover, slow and melodic. Two heads whipped around, their auburn and cyan eyes demanding without words, to know why they were being laughed at.

"Have you boys asked Starrk what he wants to do yet?" Juushiro smiled as the low rumble of his mates voice lightly asked them, as if he were simply asking about the weather. The men blinked, and astonished turned to Starrk who had turned a very bright shade of pinkish red. Brushing a stray wisp of white hair from his face he leaned into the comfortable warmth of Shunsui. His lover was smart of course, but one of his greatest strengths was his common sense; and it showed in this case. Grimmjow had been arguing that their king and "heir" to the throne was needed to lead as now Aizen's rule was over his intended was to take the throne. Renji of course was being selfish, wanting to keep his lover. Surely a middle ground could be reached?

Starrk cleared his throat awkwardly before turning to Grimmjow, the blue haired espada looking like a cat that had got the cream.

"Explain this more to me please, and also to everyone else so they understand."

Grimmjow nodded "Aizen was our leader; however he abused that privilege when he used his shikai on us in order to gain our loyalty. We all were exposed to it, once he was locked up in the maggot's nest our senses began to return and we started discovering things we had not previously known." He paused to scan the eyes of the men gathered there, Renji's crimson eyes wild and burning holes into his head, Urahara's unreadable below the brim of his striped hat, the brunette captain's somewhat smiling and lazy, Starrk's full of expectation and pleading. His cyan eyes finally looked with the slender white haired captain, his gaze steady, warm and firm despite his compromised appearance, his eyebrows raised encouragingly and not breaking eye contact he continued as if he were only addressing the one captain.

"The first thing we discovered was that we were designed to reproduce, not with each other but with shinigami" this brought a set of collective gasps from the crowd, Grimmjow made a disgusted face as he uttered the next statement "none of us have any doubt that Aizen intended to breed with us to make some sort of super shinigami, a cross between two powerful races."

"And did he? Breed with any of you?" Urahara asked innocently. The espada shook his head, blue locks dancing.

"There is no way of knowing given his power, we don't recall it after regaining out senses but I wouldn't put it past him. Granz tested us all and there were no pregnancies as for sexual encounters, well, none of us are virgins" he paused for a brief moment before clarifying "but that was not necessarily because of Aizen we took each other as well." He face blushed crimson as he recalled the nights he had spent not just taking but also being taken by members of his fraccion namely Ilfordt. Ilfordt incidentally was Szayel Aporro's older, and much more normal, older brother. A picture reel of the blonde's lithe body twisting and turning in pleasure beneath him caused his blush to deepen, he cleared his throat, dispelling the memory; and continued.

"However, what we did find was that Aizen had specific plans for Starrk. Being the most powerful among us Starrk was chosen to bear Aizen's heir, as it stands he is also the only one who can rightfully claim to rule Las Noches."

"And if I do not desire to?" The brunette said evenly.

"Then we will all be compromised." Grimmjow stated exasperated "the thing is Starrk he made it so that we were all drawn to him to want to serve him. You are his child, his progeny and by default we all are drawn to you to serve you."

"His progeny?" So the kind brown eyed man had finally spoken Grimmjow thought smirking.

"Yes, Aizen used Szayel's talents for many things and one was Starrk. He was not made how the other espadas and arrancars were, with the hogyoku." He ran a hand through his hair, searching for the words, "he was made of Aizen's own flesh and genetic materials." He let that sink in a minute, the redheads face worked through several expressions trying to make sense of it before he all but growled at Grimmjow.

"Just what do you mean his flesh and genetic materials?!" Renji's voice was low and dangerous, daring the blue eyed devil to answer.

"I mean exactly that pea brain" he looked into the angry auburn orbs "he had made the lot of us before he made Starrk. He used a sample of his semen and flesh combined to create the man you see before you. Can you not see the resemblance?" Of course he could, everyone could. The same wavy brown hair, slim, lithe frame; the only real difference was their eyes and some of their facial features.

"He found me in the desert" Starrk punctuated evenly.

"No he didn't, you just thought he did. An illusion thought it is true you were split in two due to your own massive power. That was also something he hadn't accounted for, was the power he alone could create."

"Let me get this straight" Urahara said his expression appeared to be one of awe behind his fan. "Aizen tied all hollow kind to him somehow, created the espada and convinced them to join him using illusions, then used himself to make another supremely powerful being? That, being Starrk. And when he died the hollow remained tied to what they perceive is him aka Starrk's genetci code? On top of everything your kind was meant to breed with shinigami to create insanely powerful offspring? Did I cover it all?"

Grimmjow's lips tightened into a thin line, "mostly" he said. "Now that Aizen has died most hollows are tied now to Starrk because of the blood that runs in his veins. His plan of course was to breed with Starrk and produce an heir of incredible and unfathomable power. That did not happen as Aizen was defeated before he had the chance. In fact, he never bred successfully with any of us that we are aware of. The problem is, with the hollow being tied to Starrk, and him being here Las Noches is out of control. Ulquiorra sits on the throne now but only to hold it for Starrk's return as he is the only one they will obey." He sighed as he finished obviously the mental strain of explaining something so annoyingly confusing was taking its toll. Grimmjow thought he heard Urahara tittering behind his fan muttering something that sounded an awful lot like genius.

Renji narrowed his eyes maliciously at Grimmjow, as if he was challenging him.

"So what are you trying to say here?"

"I am trying to say you small minded baboon that Las Noches is in chaos without its leader, and you happen to be fucking the rightful king of Las Noches!" His voice rang clear and true as Renji was affronted with the unwelcome truth.
