Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach or it's characters.

Yoruichi's never been to this part of the building before. Usually when Master Starrk had his meetings he would have her prep his room. He always came out exhausted from them. If it was ever soemthing important he told her about it. She never asked him what was so exhausting about them. She just made his bed and would sleep with him when he slept. Sleep. That was something she grew accustom to; staying in Las Noches. When in Huecdo Mundo she didn't sleep, for all the constant fighting and fear of being eating. She was lucky when she even got a chance to rest. Even when she was with Master Starrk and Lillynette she still didn't sleep. Instead she would watch them, and attend to them while they slept, for even with them she still feared sleeping. She would keep them warm by wrapping her tails around them. She provided them comfort when needed. They were her family, and she would protect them with her lives.

"They should be done soon." Mila Rose said as she began to check her finger nails.

"So what's it like working for Starrk?" Sun-Sun asked. She wanted to break the silence between them all.

"It's easy I guess." She really didn't have to do much for Master Starrk. All she had to do was change his sheets every day. He slept the majority of the time. When he wanted to train, they would train. When he wasn't sleeping she kept him company. Life wasn't much different from Huecdo Mundo besides the added luxuries. She remembered when Lord Aizen first came to them.

They were resting for the night after wandering endlessly around Huecdo Mundo. Lilynette had gotten tired from walking and wanted to stop. Yoruichi had offered to carry her but Lilynette politely declined saying they should rest anyway. She looked at the young girls attire and frowned. That was not appropriate attire for her or Master Starrk. Tonight they stopped near a hot spring. Excited to clean the dirt of herself; Lilynette was the first one to jump in.

"The water feels great!" She yelled towards the two adults. She seemed to be enjoying herself as she swam around, going under every once in awhile. Yoruichi smiled. In this cruel world they lived in she was happy the child could find happiness. It was a lonely life they lived. Starrk and Lilynette always unintentionally killing others with their spiritual pressure. She knew what is was like being alone for so long. She was forced to kill all those who came near her. Her spiritual pressure made her a walking magnet. Everyone wanted to devour her, she had seen two hollows stop their fight to the death just to try and eat her.

One night she had thought she finally found a hollow who wasn't affected by her spiritual pressure. His name was Naraku and he was an adjuchas. She was surrounded by a horde of hollows that night. She could have handled them on her own, yet a cobra like adjucha had come out of the ground to help her. The fight was over quickly. After that they travelled together. Naraku didn't mind all fighting they had to do, it helped him to become stronger. They spent their nights protecting each felt as if she finally found a friend. But all good things must come to an end. One night Naraku had began to act strange. While travelling he kept distance which was strange for him he was cold blooded and loved to be close to her. Sometimes he would hover over her with hunger in his eyes. When he realized what he was doing he would quickly put much needed distance between them. One night he couldn't resist the urge anymore. With tears in his snake like eyes he tried to devour her, but failed. As she ran him through with her tail, he apologized with his dying breath and told her he loved her. After that night she never trusted anyone again till she met Master Starrk and Lilynette, even then she was cautious around them for awhile.

"Yoruichi come join me!" Lilynette said as she swam towards her.

"In a little bit okay. I'm going to go wash your clothes." She grabbed Lilynette's clothes with one of her tails and walked to the smaller spring. The spring wasn't that much farther from its larger counterpart. A giant boulder in the middle of the two allowed for privacy. She walked to the edge of the spring and got on her knees. She dipped the gray garment into the water with her tail, and let it soak. It was dirty, after letting it soak for a little she cleaned the dirt off it. Not wanting to keep Lilynette waiting in case she got out early. She wrung the garment out quickly. She used her tails to squeeze the rest of the water out. She got up and walked over to the other spring were Lilynette was still swimming.

"Yoruichi are you coming in now?"

"Yes Lilynette." Yoruichi set her clothes down before jumping in. As soon as she emerged from the water Lilynette began to assault her with water. Shielding her face from the water with her arms, she used one of her tails to pull Lilynette under water. She pulled her out before letting the young girl go. A while of playing in the water and Lilynette grew tired. She climbed out and put her clothes on.

"Night Yoruichi. Good night Starrk." She went to lay by the fire Starrk had started.

"Yoruichi can you come here?" What could Master Starrk need? She got out of the hot spring and began to walk to their camp site.

"Yoruichi I'm over here." Starrk said. Oh, she blushed slightly, as she covered her eyes. As she walked to the smaller hot spring she couldn't sense Master Starrk anywhere. Yoruichi ears perked up at the sound of the water moving.

"Yoruichi uncover your eyes. I'm waist deep in water." Her eyes shifted to Master Starrk's form who was like he claimed waist deep in the water. As the moon light illuminated his pale skin Yoruichi couldn't help but think of how godly he looked. His wet brown hair clung to him seductively. Yoruichi wanted to run her hands through his dark brown locks. She stared at the water droplets that fell slowly down his toned chest. She wanted to lick each of those droplets away from his well toned chest. Making him moan in pleasure from her tou- Wait! She shouldn't be thinking these things about Master Starrk. No matter how handsome or attracti- Fuck! She was doing it again.

"Yes Master Starrk?" She asked as she looked everywhere but at him. She didn't want to think of any more sexual things to do to this man. Hopefully he wouldn't her lack of eye contact suspicious.

"Come join me." She stepped into the water on the other side of the spring. She still kept her eyes away from him. Which was hard because there was only about ten yards worth of room.

"Yoruichi, I would like to thank you." His voice was closer than she remembered it to be. When had he moved? She looked up from the water to him. He did move closer to her, and now he was only a few feet away. She couldn't deny her attraction for this man any longer. If she could scoot back she would, she needed as much distance between them as possible. She doesn't know what she'll do if he comes any closer. She didn't want to do anything she would regret; so she hoped that he wouldn't come any closer than the few feet apart they had.

"For what?" She asked trying her best to avoid his gaze.

"For being there for me and Lilynette. When we met you we thought you were going to die like everyone else. There was never anyone strong enough to be able to match our spiritual pressure. So when you didn't die, we wanted you to come with us. I could see it in your eyes that you were just as lonely as us, but you were more damaged." He slid closer to her. Oh no, she couldn't scoot back. Within a few seconds he was close to her.

He gently grabbed her hand. She looked down at their interlocked hands. She wanted to pull away, as she looked at the differences between them. His hand was human like, while hers was more animal and hollow like. From her forearm to the tips of her fingers there was white fur. She had sharp claws instead nails. She accidentally scratched him one time, the wound was deep. She never wanted to hurt him even if it was an accident again. He pulled their hands to his chest.

"I want to take away any pain you may have Yoruichi. I want to make you happy. " He pulled her closer to him. The closer she got to him the more her mind began to wonder. She looked into his grey eyes searching for an answer; as to why he could be saying and doing what he was. He's never given a sign or a hint that he was attracted to her. So why now? Her thoughts were interrupted by the feeling of his warm chest against hers, and the steady rhythm of his heart beat. So this is what a heart sounded like. She loved the sound of his, it beated slow...buh bump...buh bump...buh bump. Starrk's free hand trailed a line up her neck slowly, to finally rest on her cheek as he caressed it. With his thumb he began rubbing tiny circles on her cheek. The hand that was holding hers found its way to the small of her back. He began to lower his face closer to hers. If she had a heart, then she was sure it would be beating fast. He was so close she could feel his breath on her face. Suddenly he stopped, and looked off into the distance. So close she thought as she looked in the direction he was looking. She didn't see anything, but she did feel a strong presence coming their way.

"Master Starrk?"

"I feel it too. Someone's coming... someone powerful." She could feel the tension in his body, as they approached.

"Lilynette!" Yoruichi screamed, she grew angry for being unaware of her surroundings. She let her guard down, and now Lilynette might get hurt, or worse. She could sense an enemy's spiritual pressure the best, this mistake might cost her greatly.

She grabbed Starrks clothing with her tail, while getting out of the water.

"Master Starrk. Here are your clothes I'm going to go ahead; I will see you when you get there." She ran away. The only thing hintng at her presence was the discarded cloth slowing falling to the ground. It didn't take her long to get to Lilynette. She was sleeping by the make-shift camp like she had been when Yoruichi left. Yoruichi tensed, she could feel hollows approaching. A lot of them. Their numbers were far greater than the usual hoarde. Their strengths varying greatly as well. They must have been attracted to that large spiritual pressure they felt earlier and set out to devour the being. They must have felt her magnetic spiritual pressure on their search for the strong being but made a U-turn towards her.

Starrk arrived a little time after she did. She looked over at him, if the time was appropriate she would have made an interesting remark on the way he looked. His dark brown tresses still clung to his neck. His body was still wet and glistening from the water. The moon still gave his skin an mystical glow that made him look like a god. Now he just had on the gray cloth similar to Lillynette's. Now was not the appropriate time to say anything.

Yoruichi's ears twitched, as she heard the heavy foot falls of the approaching hollows had finally arrived. Their numbers were in the hundreds but none of them were strong enough to withstand Starrk's spiritual pressure. Death was almost instantaneous as they approached them. Led by hunger, the hollows dead bodies and the danger ahead went completely unnoticed by the few who survived. They too would eventually lay dead and become nothing more than food for scavengers. The screeches and screams of the dieing hollows is something one who lives in Huecdo Mundo becomes accustomed too. There are no such things as nightmares here for you live it everyday. Death was an everyday occurrence here, something no one mourned for, something no one had problems causing. The bodies began to pile up around them till the only ones left were Yoruichi, Starrk, and Lillynette, who had woken up not to long ago. Yoruichi frowned as she and Starrk sat by Lillynette who was rubbing the sleep from her eyes. It was truly a sad sight to see when a child had become accustomed to this. Lilynette was not fazed by death. The strong spiritual pressure, or pressures Yoruichi realized was approaching fast. She counted three in total. No one was faster than her, and these beings were no exception. Her eyes followed them as they approached, stopping only a few feet away from them. Three males stood before her. They didn't appear to be hollows, their spiritual pressure was different. One man had brown skin and dark purple hair that was braided. Yoruichi's attention was on his eyes, this man was blind. Even without his sight, Yoruichi could tell he was a danger on the battle field. The next man had a light lavender colored hair. His eyed were closed in a way that made him look like a fox. The grin on his face, was out of amusement. She could sense something darker behind that smile, something hidden. She didn't like it.

The last man had brown slick backed hair. His brown eyes seemed to be looking through her, as if he could see something she could not. Something had flashed in his eyes for a second. What it was Yoruichi couldn't be sure for as quickly as it appeared it was gone. She could feel that he was the strongest of the three. His intense gaze made her feel uncomfortable. Like he was judging her maybe. His spiritual pressure had an air of dominance about it. One that made even her, feel the need to kneel before him. She unconsciously moved closer to Lilynette and Master Starrk.

"My, my look at the destruction here." The lavender haired man looked at Starrk and his smile grew a little wider.

"Did you kill them?" The brown haired man asked.

"Yes." Starrk said as he looked at the men.

"You are strong." Said the brown haired man.

"So are you." Lilynette spoke since she awoken. Yoruichi looked to Lillynette who had spoken to the man. Could she feel what Yoruichi was feeling?

"Who are you?" Yoruichi asked as she wrapped one of her tails protectively around Lillynette and one around her master. She could sense the danger in these men. They were strong as well. These men were not affected by Master Starrk's spiritual pressure. Hers she didn't know.

"I am Sosuke Aizen." The brown haired man said.

"Kaname Tousen." Said the blind man.

"Ichimaru Gin." Said the fox eyed man.

"I am creating an army. In exchange for joining I can give you the power of an arrancar, a being far superior to that of a vasto lord. A Vast lorde if strong enough can become an arrancar, by removing their hollow mask. The espada are the strongest amongst the arrancar ranking from 1-9. Their power is greater than all the other arrancar. The gap in power will be tremendous. The numerós are the second strongest their rankings measuring from 10-99. Other arrancar are ranked from 100 and under. A fracción is an arrancar that is solely loyal to one espada. A fracción is always ranked as a numerós or lower. An espada can have as many fracción as they want, and are free to do with them as you will. So will you join me?" She looked to Master Starrk for an answer.

"Will the rest of this army be strong like you three?" She knew why he asked the question. They were tired of the loneliness they felt. If their were others that could with stand his spiritual pressure, then they wanted to be around them.

"That is my goal." Sosuke said.

"Starrk?" Lilynette looked to her other half. Yoruichi could see she was waiting for his answer as well. His answer decided their fate.

"We will join." Aizen smiled as he held out his hand, gesturing for Starrk to take it. Starrk grabbed his hand, but quickly pulled away. Once he pulled away he was shocked to see the number one on the back of his hand. Yoruichi looked at Aizen, and saw a small stream of smoke coming from his out stretched hand. The number one fading away as if it was never there.

"Welcome to the rankings Espada 1. That brand signifies your ranking as the strongest. You may or may not keep that ranking but judging by how strong you are I don't see you losing that ranking anytime soon. It changes as I see fit, should you be demoted." He turned to face Yoruichi.

"And what about you?" He gestured towards Yoruichi. The smile on his face and the way he looked at her unnerved her. It felt as if he knew something she didn't. She didn't want to ally herself with this man. She couldn't explain it but it felt wrong, taboo even. As if Starrk could sense her hesitance and doubt his gaze landed on her. His eyes held a look as if to say 'I'll protect you'. Just who was Sosuke Aizen? A voice in her head was screaming at her to deny his offer. To run away and not look back.

She didn't listen.

"When Master Starrk spoke of 'we' it implied me as well. I will follow him wherever he and Lilynette goes." Sosuke walked closer to her. She could have sworn his smile grew wider.

"Excellent, you will make a great addition to my army. You have a 'unique' spiritual pressure, when I first arrived I could feel myself drawn to your spiritual pressure. Though I must say I was not expecting you to be as strong as you are. You must learn how to suppress it; for it will be a great advantage in battle. You will be a great trump card." He stopped only a short distance in front of her.

"Welcome to my army espada 2-" He sentence was cut short, as Yoruichi suddenly said something.

"I'm sorry what was that?" She spoke a little louder.

"No, I'll be Master Starrk's fracción. I am solely loyal to him."

"But you are much to strong to be a fracción. You are better suited for the ranking of espada 2, and nothing less." He held out his hand closer to her. She narrowed her eyes at him. She didn't want to be espada number 2, she wanted to be Master Starrk's fracción. She pulled her hand away.

"I see you are set on being his fracción. I'll make you a deal. You must learn to suppress your spiritual pressure till it is almost non existent. You must keep up the appearance of the weakest arrancar in my army. Should you slip up once, than you will be revealed as what you truly are; my second strongest. I will still be putting the number 2 somewhere on your body, somewhere hidden so no one knows your true ranking. It will be our's and a few others big secret. I will give the ranking to another espada, and they will be known as the second strongest in the eyes of the other arrancar; but you will always be my true number 2. My secret weapon. So once I turn you into an arrancar choose where you want your tattoo. So do you accept my terms or do you have any to make of your own?" Yoruichi looked at the man known as Sosuke Aizen, she didn't know how to suppress her spiritual pressure, she didn't want to have to be the second strongest and not be Master Starrk's fracción. She would have to learn how to suppress it.

"Can you teach me to suppress my spiritual pressure?"

"Yes, and so much more." She grabbed his out stretched hand, careful not to harm him with her claws. Something flashed in his eyes for just a second, it was the same thing from earlier. As she held his hand, something flashed in her mind. It was of a whole bunch of people in black robes. Some of them wore a white jacket over it. They held out their hands as if reaching for her. As time went on one by one they began to fade away till only one remained. The one that remained was not wearing the attire of the others. The male she assumes it was, had on khaki colored pants. The pants were stuffed into black combat boots. He wore no shirt but his stomach and arms were covered in gray bandages. His skin was pale and contrasted deeply with his long jet black hair. His eyes were a piercing red. He had an average build. What caught her attention was the gauntlets he wore. The left was white with red markings while the right was black with blue markings. He smiled a sad smile, revealing the fangs he had.

"Just as you will be reborn anew, I shall as well. I am your partner till the end Yoruichi." This was the voice that was telling her to run. The man's hair swayed as he approached her. He stopped in front of her and placed his gauntlet covered hand on her chest. His touch brought her fear but comfort all at once. She felt as if she knew this man.

"Never forget them. Never stop fighting for the ones you love. With my left hand I give you the power to destroy, and use the strength of the fallen as your own. With my right hand I give you the power to protect those who cannot protect them selves. To be their strength. For should we fail in protecting them, then we shall carry the weight of our failure as if a thousand mountains were upon us. We must not fail Yoruichi. Remember my name is...!" The man faded away. She couldn't hear his name. Who were those people that faded away. She touched the place his hand had previously been. Yoruichi returned to reality. As she let go of Aizen's hand, she felt as if she made a deal with the devil.

Ever since that day Aizen, and Starrk have been helping her get stronger. She learned how to suppress her spiritual pressure. She had to get use to her new form as an arrancar. Master Starrk still treated her as his equal, but as to not rouse suspicion he had to have her do task for him. He never tried to kiss her again.

She was brought out of her reminiscing by the sound of Mila Rose's voice.

"Master Harribel doesn't ask much from us either. She is a loving, and kind to us." Apache and Sun-Sun nodded their heads in agreement. They all looked at the doors as they began to open. The first to exit was Barragan, who looked at Yoruichi with malice with his one good eye.

The second to leave was Syzayelapporo who was currently carrying a clip board and smiling at his notes.

"Hello, Ladies." He said as he walked by. The third to leave was Ulquiorra. He looked towards Yoruichi, and opened his mouth as if to say something, but decided not to. He walked away.

The next ones to leave was Starrk and Lilynette. They walked over to Yoruichi.

"Master Starrk how was your meeting?"

"I'll tell you about it once we get to my room." Starrk said as he grabbed her hand.

"Hold on a minute Starrk." He turned around and was met with the sight of espada number 3 Harribel. She had made her way towards the trio.

"What is it you want Harribel, I'm tired." Starrk growled.

"I just wanted to borrow Yoruichi for a minute. If that's okay with you." Starrk looked at the blonde haired woman. He didn't feel like dealing with her, he certainly didn't want to give up Yoruichi.

"No." He turned away from her, and gently pulled Yoruichi with him; Lilynette was behind them. What she said next made Starrk stop dead in his tracks.

"Starrk, perhaps I didn't make myself clear in the meeting room. I will be taking Yoruichi for a moment, you'll have her back in due time." Harribell narrowed her eyes, and crossed her arms. She was serious. Not knowing what was going on Harribell's fracción walked up to her. The tension was rising between the third and first arrancar.

"Yoruichi, go to the training room." Starrk nudged her in the direction of said room.

"Master Starrk-"

"Go! That's an order." Yoruichi flinched slightly, Master Starrk has never yelled at her before.

"Starrk don't yell at Yoruichi!" Lilynette screamed at him, as she kicked him in the shin. Starrk didn't even flinch.

"Yoruichi take Lilynette to the training room with you. I'll be there shortly along with Harribell." Yoruichi looked at her Master before picking Lilynette up. He has never ordered her around before. He has always asked her to do something never ordered her to do anything. She sonidoed to the training room.

"Master Harribell what is going on?" Apache asked.

"You'll see once we get to the training room. Now you three go as well." Harribell said. They sonidoed away as well.

"Starrk you've hurt your little doll. I could tell you've never raised your voice with her. You better hope she's ready Starrk otherwise you'll be down one fracción."

"Don't under estimate Yoruichi, we might just have to find a new number three." Starrk said as he sonidoed away. Harribell followed after.

Yoruichi stopped at the entrance of the training room, along with Apache, Mila Rose, and Sun-Sun. They all gave each other questioning looks. No one knew what was going on. Yoruichi looked at the entrance of the training room. It was a set of reinforced double doors. On the side of the right door there was a hand scanner.

It was there to record all who entered and create a battle ground better suited or against the occupants. Also to keep track of the health levels of all who entered and challenge them. To gain entrance you had to have your hand scanned. Apache was the first to place her hand on the scanner. Once she pulled away, her face appeared on the screen. The next to place their hand on the scanner was Sun-Sun, and then Mils Rose.

Lilynette jumped out of her arms and placed her tiny hand in the scanner. Finally it was Yoruichi's turn. She placed her hand on the warm surface and waited for her hand to be scanned. Once it was done she pulled her hand away and stepped back waiting for the doors to open. She looked away as her eyes were blinded by the bright light. Her eyes though were quickly adjusting. All the women walked in before her. She didn't know what was going on, but she walked in with her head held high. As she walked down the long hallway, she realized it was not just them in the arena. Syzayelapporo, Ulquiorra, Barragan, Lord Aizen, Gin, and Tosen were there as well.

What the hell was going on? Starrk and Harribell had arrived as well. As they approached the center of the room where Aizen was, they all kneeled before him.

"Good, we didn't have to wait long. Now Harribell after today your curiosity and doubt will be satiated." Aizen said as he stood.

"This will be great for my research." Syzayelapporo said with a hint of glee.

"Now, every one find a place higher up to stand." Aizen said as he walked to higher ground. Everyone followed. Once everyone was on higher ground the battlefield began to change. Land began to rise in certain places. Water began to fill the arena the only places to stand on were the higher seats in the arena and the raised ground. The ceiling opened as well, the light of Las Noches shining through. Two espada were going to face off, that was the only time the ceilings were raised. Judging from the battle ground Yoruichi could tell one of the competitors were Harribel, was the other Master Starrk than. When ever it was a battle for ranking the two espada's fracción were required to be their as well, along with Syzayelapporo and espadas 1-4.

"Master Harribell what is going on?" Mila Rose asked. Harribell stepped onto the battle field.

"Mila Rose, you see your Master here has doubted my judgement, so she wants to see for her self proof of it." Aizen sat down in his throne that he created. He raised two more for Gin and Tosen who both sat down as well.

"I will call your challenger Harribell, and you will witness first hand their strength. Just don't take this battle lightly." Aizen warned her.

"Everyone take a seat." Gin said.

"Your challenger is Yoruichi." All eyes fell upon Yoruichi, even she herself was questioning Lord Aizen.

"This must be a joke. Master Harribell would crush this weakling!" Apache yelled in rage. This was an insult to her Master, and she wasn't going to stand there and not say anything about it.

"Do I seem like the one to joke around? Apache I suggest you hold your tongue lest you be without." Aizen threatened. He looked towards Yoruichi and motioned for her to get into the arena.

Yoruichi got into the arena. She looked at her opponent wondering why she was doing this.

"Barragan you doubt her abilities as well. This will show you both how strong she truly is." Aizen spoke as he looked back at the two combatants. This was going to be interesting, for he himself helped to train her.

"Go!" Aizen's voice boomed throughout the arena.
