Just to let you know, Isadora Demetrios does not belong to me, she is my friends' character who we have both decided to use in this fanfic. Not much... but a few times. :D I never put a disclaimer on this story, did I? Bugger.

Bleach does not belong to me, neither do any of the characters in this fanfic (apart from Adoriana Hertz). It all belongs to Kubo Tite. :D

Chapter 24- Septima Espada

It was cold outside the walls of Las Noches. Hugging myself, I strode over the vast dunes, looking at the mass of nothingness. Rather relaxing really... but not enough to solve my restless state.

My ears pricked up to the ripping sound of a garganta opening... I span around to see Isadora Demetrios gracefully stride out of it onto the white sands. She looked around... then slumped her shoulders and screwed up her face.

"Aw Dammit. I came out in the wrong place."

My mood lit instantly. I adored Isadora Demetrios, she was cool, calm and collected all the time, and had also seduced a superior Espada, Grimmjow Jegerjaques! My role model, standing right in front of my eyes. I had to say something... anything to let her know how great I thought she was!

"I...Isadora-sama! Isadora-sama... do you need anything?"

What kind of stupid question was that? What could she… the Septima Espada, possibly need? She was awesome!

She looked around, a confused look on her face. She obviously couldnt see me; however I was at the bottom of a tall dune, and she was on the top. After a few seconds, she looked down and spotted me running madly up the dune, getting stuck in the sand every now and then.

"Oh, there you are. I thought I could hear something. Nah, I'm alright kid. What the hell are you doing out here anyway? On a mission or something?"

I blushed a little. I must look so stupid; running around in the sand like a child, when I have no reason to be out here at all.

"No. No, I have no reason for being here. I'm just bored, I guess."

Isadora tilted her head on one side, hand on chin. She was so beautiful... I just wanted to be her.

"Bored huh? Yeah, things can get boring around here sometimes. But ya better get back soon; it's my duty to tell Nnoitra that you're out here alone."

Shit.

"Alright. To compromise, you can travel back with me. I'm the Queen of sonido, ya' know."

"Yes I know! I think you are amazing, really I do."

She smiled a smug smile and grabbed my hand, whisking us both back to Las Noches at the speed of light. It was incredible... the crisp cold air blasting my face; if I were Isadora, I would do this every day.

Unfortunately, before I knew it, we had arrived at our destination; Las Yawn.

"Thank you for bringing me back, Isadora-sama."

She shrugged and started walking in the direction of Grimmjow's barracks.

"No problem. Nnoitra should be here any second to collect you."

I don't want him to be here any second. Or ever. But I could already sense his reiatsu drawing closer.

Leaning against the wall, I made it so that my fringe covered most of my face, especially my eyes. They are, after all, the window to your soul. I certainly didn't want him getting in there.

P.S How in the name of bugger did she tell him already? Must be some spooky Espada technique I don't know about.
