(Akiro's POV)

"And so, I would like to introduce our replacement...

"I would like you to all meet,

"Akiro Akashi, La Segunda Espada."

Aizen's haughty voice rang out. That was my cue to step in.

"Go back to your Spanish lessons," I muttered under my breathe. "Get your Spanish right. You were the one to call us Espada. Jesus, if you can't talk Spanish, talk French." I rolled my eyes.

Aizne frowned.

" Sorry?" he asked with a you-wanna-die-because-I-can-arrange-that-immediately face.

I gave him a bright, happy smile.

"Nothing! Nothing at all! I was just saying how pleased, how very, very pleased, I am to be with you," I beamed at them.

Then I did a double take. I stared.

Could these people be more weird?

Lemme see, from what I could work out...

The Sexta had blue hair. Surely it isn't natural, it HAS to be dyed. And he had another Arrancar seated next to him, she looked normal enough with her icy blue eyes and waist-length black hair with kitty ears popping out from the top. I'm sure that must be her mask.

The Noveno had a very long head which I guessed doesn't hold a very big brain.

The Quinta had a creepy rapist grin and a spoon hood.

The Primera was sleeping. Woah... Sleeping under the presence of Aizen when he has a rather important meeting... I admire his bravery... And his ignorance.

The Cuatro had stark green eyes, and looked like he needed some sugar in him. He also had someone next to him, a girl, with very bright blue eyes and brown hair. Hm, why are all the little fish in the ocean normal and uncreepy while all the big fish were so... Odd?

"Well, as Aizen," I pointed my thumb at 'my lord.' "Said, I'm Espada numero Segunda." I emphasised the Spanish words. "My Zanpakuto is weird, but more normal than the Quinta's." I ignored his 'HEY!' "I like the colour green, jelly beans, unicorns and I have a tendency to yell out, 'LOOK! IT'S A JELLY BEAN MONSTA!' " I smirked.

"I believe I was fifth seat of Hitsu-kun's squad. My Zanpakuto often disagrees with me and tells me to use bankai, which I refuse, just to make her mad. Yes, this is my natural hair colour and my natural eye colour," I gestured to my... Uh... Look, I'll describe it!

From the roots going outwards, it's black-burnt ash brown-dark brown-light brown-honey brown-reddish brown-dark red-bright red-light red- orangy red-dark orange-orange-bright orange-orangy yellow-yellow-blonde-bleach blonde-white.

There! Thats my natural hair colour. My eyes are bright orange-amber coloured.

"And also, I believe Aizen would like me to shut up now. Right, my lord?" I blinked innocently at him, with a hint of sarcasm hidden in there.

"That is correct. I'll organise a Fraccion for you later. For now, let's have some tea," he said, smirking that famous smirk. "Please sit next to Starrk there."

I sat and an Arrancar came out and brought us tea.

I raised an eyebrow.

"I believe this is Earl Grey, Edition Number Two?" I asked.

"Why yes it is," someone next to Aizen, which I had only just noticed, said.

"Oh. That's strange."

"Why is it strange, Akiro?" Aizen asked with his eyes narrowed.

"I thought you were all Japanese and stuff, or if not, you'd be drinking some sort of Spanish tea."

I took a sip.

"Yup, definitely Earl Grey," I confirmed with a smile.

Aizen frowned. "What is wrong with drinking English tea?"

"Nothing, my lord."

(Ichigo's POV)

"Att'nch'n all arrancar. We're unda' attack. All please proceed t' tha' meetin' room where Aizen will address ya," a voice voice rang out on the intercom. I didn't even know they had an intercom in Las Noches.

"Follow them!" Uryu commanded, pointing at the small Arrancar charging through the halls frantically. We sneakily followed them, being careful with our spiritual pressure.

They finally led us to some large double doors. I didn't hesitate for even a second to smash them down.

Silence filled the air and it felt like time had stopped completely.

"Uhm... Shit. An I interrupting anything?" I asked, scratching the back of my head nervously.

I glanced around the room, observing every character seated at the table. Grimmjow Jaggerjack... Yammy... Ulquiorra Cifer... Those are the only ones I remember... HOLY SHIT! Is that...? No, it can't be... Her reiatsu is entirely different from Konoe-san's, maybe it's just somebody who looks like her. But... Those incredibly bright, blue eyes... It's not possible to have eyes that bright, but Konoe-san did, and so does this girl. That mask of shock and fear plastered across her face was Konoe-san, too. But her reiatsu... It's completely different. It can't possibly be her.

I was soon joined by the other Shinigami. Suddenly, the weaker-looking Arrancar began charging at us, swords drawn and violent shouts filling the empty silence.

We fended them off with ease, but the moment they were defeated, I had noticed that the Espada and Aizen had made their escape.

"Split up and find the strong one! I get him!" Kenpachi yelled.

"Che..." Kurotsuchi muttered.

"Shouldn't we be looking for Orihime?" I asked.

"Who cares about her," Byakuya said before flash-stepping away.

"I do!" I shouted at him.

"Let's find Jiggles!" Yachiru said cheerfully. WHERE THE HELL DID SHE COME FROM?

"HOLY CRAP! Where'd you come from? SHE'S A FUCKING NINJA!" Renji yelled in shock. I can completely agree with that statement.

"Teehee! Where's Jiggles, Kenny?" she questioned happily.

"How should I know?" Kenpachi answered nonchalantly.

"Because you're Kenny!" she replied.

"Well, we've searched most of Las Noches. I bet Aizen still isn't done with her. He's probably taken her with him, wherever the hell he's gone," I pondered aloud.

"How could Aizen escape so easily? We had the exit blocked!" Renji shouted.

"He must have a secret passage hidden in here somewhere..." Rukia said, searching around for some sort of hidden button or something.

"Or they could've used the Garganta technique," Kurotsuchi suggested.

"Damn... We'll never find them... Well, we've still got to try, for Orihime!" I stated.

(Oh noes, Aizen's escaped! Why did Aizen run away? Will they ever find Orihime? Will Chie's fantasies come true? Do I sound like the thingy on tv that asks questions to make you wanna watch the next episode in a series? Good. That means I'm doing my job. Hehehe.
