Name

"Rukia." Media Luna Mar greeted as he entered the room. "How are you feeling?"

"Good. What brings you here, Mar?" She asked.

He hid a smile. So they did replace her memory. He was impressed. No doubt they also have a back of plan in case something makes her remember. His eyes went to the table next to her. Her sword laid on it. A zanpakutō is the extension of the soul of course she would need it with her when they wipe and replaced her memory.

"I was wondering if you would like to go on a walk. You recovered from your illness, correct?"

"I suppose you are right." She got off the bed and reached for her sword. "Lead the way."

Mar opened the door and smiled.

Ulquiorra opened the door expecting to see Rukia on the bed. He was surprised to see it empty. Quickly he looked around for any signs that something went wrong but found none. He concluded she left willingly by herself or with another.

He began searching other parts of Las Noches for her. In one of the hall ways he listened to two arrancar talking to themselves in the hall way. "He took her to train? Why would he do that?" One of them ask the other.

"I don't know. I don't trust La Novena, he seems most likely to rebel of all the espada." The other said quietly.

Ulquiorra sonído to the training grounds wondering why would Media Luna Mar take Rukia to the training grounds. He hid himself and watch the two in front of him. Rukia had her sword drawn and was attacking Media with it. He blocked it and returned a hit that she just barely dodged.

"Don't you want to grow stronger, Rukia? Do you wish to remain weak and a hindrance to your brother?" He scolded her.

"No.." She said quietly. She adjusted her hold on her sword and lunged forward. She tried to strike his chest but he blocked. Quickly she aimed at his feet. Media fell backwards in surprise, then smiled.

"Hitting my ankle with your hilt, very good." He praised. "But don't get cocky." He ran forward and sliced at her collar. Rukia glanced at her wound then at her opponent. She blocked another attack from him then hit his stomach with her zanpakutō's hilt.

Media Luna Mar stopped attacking and signaled to Rukia to take a break. He looked over to where Ulquiorra was hiding, a smile was now on Mar's face. Turning his back to Ulquiorra he went over to Rukia. "Rukia, when attacking you need to be more aggressive." Rukia nodded. "Let me look at that cut." He removed any cloth in the way. He looked back in Ulquiorra's direction and now had a large smirk on his face. "Let me clean this up for you.." He moved his face down and his lips were about to touch the skin. Ulquiorra sonído behind Mar and put his hand on his shoulder.

"What are you doing, La Novena?" He demanded and tightened his hold on Mar's shoulder.

"Clean up Rukia's wound." He said in a matter-of-fact tone.

"We have a clinic for that." Ulquiorra's voice turned icy. "Come with me, Aizen-sama."

Rukia got up and followed Ulquiorra. She turned back to look at Mar. He waved to her. "We'll train again tomorrow." He told her then sonído to a different part of Las Noches.

Ulquiorra quietly walked with Rukia to the clinic. His eyes kept wandering to her. Did she have the same personality or was she completely different now? Countless questions kept poking its way into his mind.

He turned and opened a door. No one was here. He told Rukia to sit down while he got the antibiotics and cotton balls. He sat across from her and dipped one of the cotton balls into the antibiotics. He lightly touched her skin with it. Rukia grimaced."I apologize Aizen-sama but it will be over soon." He said noticing her discomfort.

"Rukia."

He looked up, "What?"

"Rukia. It doesn't feel right being so formal." She told him.

Ulquiorra thought of a past conversation when she asked him to call her by her name. Her eyes widen and for a second Ulquiorra thought she remembered. "I feel like I said that before..." She then dismissed the thought.

"I will lead you to your room, Rukia-sama." Ulquiorra said after he dressed her wound.

"Just Rukia." She told him then exited the room.

"Here." He handed her new clothes to replace her bloodied ones. "Your brother wishes to dine with you tonight."

"Thank you." Rukia took the clothes into her arms.

"One of us will escort you to dinner later." With that he left.

Rukia decided to take a bath. Once finished she put on her new clothes. A simple white dress that ended mid thigh with a large black ribbon tied in a bow in the back. She pulled on knee high black socks and put on a pair of black gloves lined in white.

She then looked around her room. A picture was on the bed side table. A younger Rukia stood smiling next to her brother, Sousuke who was wearing glasses and wore his hair in a different manner. His hand was on her shoulder as he gave a gentle smile in the photograph.

Rukia looked in the draws and piles of black and white clothing. Rukia opened another draw, even her underwear was black and white. In the wardrobe hung dresses and at the bottom were different shoes. Rukia sighed, why didn't she remember this earlier, then she wouldn't of had to train in those uncomfortable shoes.

She then went over to the bath room. She saw a box in there earlier but forgot to check it out. She box had three compartments and Rukia looked at each. The first compartment held hair accessories, the second held rings and bracelets. In the last held only one item. In it was a necklace, a stone carved in the shape of a rose hung on black ribbon. Rukia smiled. She remembered Sousuke gave it to her back when they were in soul society.

Rukia heard the door open in her bed room and went over to see who it is. A male with strange blue hair came in. Rukia took a second to recognize him. It was Grimmjow. She remembered calling Ulquiorra by Grimmjow's name yesterday.

"Aizen wants you now." He said gruffly then left to lead the way.

Rukia quickly followed. Each stride Grimmjow took, Rukia had to take three to catch up. Her eyes went to his hair. Such a strange color. Grimmjow turned and caught her staring, he scowled.

They soon came to the dinning room and Grimmjow left, leaving her alone with her brother. Rukia sat down across from Sousuke. He gave her his gentle smile. "I heard you went to the training grounds today."

"Yes, I walked past it with Mar and I was wondering if I still can fight like normal." She explained.

"I see. Will you be training with him regularly?"

"I might." Rukia wasn't sure.

They ate in silence.

"Rukia, do you want to learn your Bankai?" He asked.

"I do." She wanted to be stronger.

Sousuke smiled. "If you train hard, there is no doubt you will learn it soon."

Once they both finished Rukia got up to leave when Sousuke spoke again, "Rukia, do you remember the necklace I gave you long ago?" Rukia nodded. "Please wear it for now on and don't take it off."

Rukia nodded and Sousuke signaled she could leave. One of the arrancar lead her to her room. By now she was tired and she immediately went to sleep.

Ulquiorra was summoned to the throne room where Aizen sat. As usual Ulquiorra bowed then waited for his task.

"Ulquiorra," Aizen began," You will attend all of Rukia's training sessions. You will keep an eye on her progress and tell me if she improves. You will also keep an eye on Media Luna Mar."

"Yes, Aizen-sama." Ulquiorra bowed.

As he walked through the halls, Ulquiorra thought about his orders. He didn't need to be told to watch Media Luna Mar, he was already doing so.
