Chapter 2

Enter Las Noches

Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach!

"Were am I now?"

Shakana stood with in the dark corridor of the portal her turquoise eyes looking around her finding nothing but endless shadowy darkness.

"What the hell is this anyway?" She frowned as she walked forward.

'Either way it saved my ass from that monster.' She thought as she looked beside her and reached out only to find no walls next to her. She frowned as she continued forward into the corridor of darkness. She walked through the empty darkness for what seemed like five minutes before an opening had appeared along with bright light. Shakana smirked as she ran towards the light.

"Finally a way out!" she exclaimed as she rushed towards the light.

She quickly jumped into the light but her eyes widen as she came out of the portal and was high up in the air falling toward the ground.

"Ahhh!" she yelled as she closed her eyes and turned over so her back collide with the ground causing a small crater around her.

Two arrancars stood in the door way with a shocked look on their face as they saw the young human girl fall out of the garganta. Both couldn't comprehend how a human had just gotten through the garganta and manage to end up here.

"Quickly go inform Lord Aizen that we have an intruder!" one arrancar shouted at the other. The other arrancar nodded and used sanido to deliver the report. The leader frowned as approached the crater and looked down at the girl.

"How did you get in?" he asked as he stared at the girl who was unconscious from hitting her head from the impact.

While the other arrancar appeared in front of two giant doors. Walking up to the doors he knocked and stepped back as it slowly opened to reveal Tousen.

"What is it?" he asked firmly.

"I'm sorry for the interruption sir but it seems we have an intruder." The arrancar said and he kneeled and bowed his head.

"That's impossible…."

"What seems to be the problem Tousen?" Aizen asked from inside the room. Tousen turned towards Aizen and frowned.

"There's an intruder my lord."

"Oh?" Aizen leaned his chin against his hand. "And whom is this intruder?"

Tousen looked back at the arrancar who looked up with a nervous confused look.

"Well my lord… It's appears to be a soul of a human girl." The arrancar explained.

"Impossible… how?" Tousen spoke this time as he stared at the arrancar.

"That's the problem sir… we don't know. She came through the garganta."

With this information everyone looked at each other in confusion. Everyone then looked at Aizen who as usual had his calm smirking expression. Looking down the table till his eyes landed on a certain espada.

"Ulquiorra go retrieve the girl and bring her to me." He ordered.

"As you wish." Ulquiorra stood and walked out of the room before using sanido.

Meanwhile the other low rank arrancar sighed as he finished putting chains on the girl wrists to restrain her when she woke. He rubbed the back of the neck as he glared at the human soul. He had received no order from his leader yet so restraining her was the only thing he could think of until Lord Aizen decides what he wants done with the intruder.

The arrancar quickly stood up straight as he felt an immense spiritual presser appear behind him. He looked behind him at the raven haired espadas and quickly bowed.

"M-master Ulquiorra…."

Ulquiorra gave no response as he walked forward and stared down at the unconscious girl with his dark green eyes. Looking out of the corner of his eyes he looked at the lower arrancar with his blank stare.

"Lord Aizen has instructed that this girl be brought to him immediately." He spoke with a dull quite voice.

"Yes sir." The arrancar nodded as he picked up the girl and tossed her onto his shoulder before looking over at his superior.

Ulquiorra then turned and began to walk away. The arrancar followed after him as they walked down the long giant halls of the castle. Along the white walls were candles that lite the halls as the echoes of their footsteps filled the large corridor. Both walk in silence for about five minutes before they arrived in front of another pair of large double doors.

Ulquiorra stepped forward and taking one hand out of his pockets he pushed open the doors. Inside there was a giant room with a dim light and giant pillars around the room with dark figures sitting upon them. On one of the giant pillars, Aizen sat upon a throne with a smirk as he watched the fourth espada enter the room with the low rank arrancar that was carrying the girl on his shoulder.

"Welcome back Ulquiorra." Aizen greeted as he watched them stand before him.

"I have brought the girl as you have requested my lord." Ulquiorra bowed at the waist before standing up straight and looked up at the ex-captain. The arrancar tossed the girl on the ground and bowed and looked up at Aizen who waved his hand dismissing the arrancar. Nodding he turned and walked out of the room.

As the arrancar exited the room the girl let out a groan and slowly sat up.

"Ugh…. Ow my head." Shakana let out another groan as she reached up and rubbed her head but stopped as she felt her hands being restrained. Her eyes widen as she lowered her arms and looked down at the chains on her wrist.

"What the hell?"

"You're finally awake…"

Shaking blinked as she heard a deep voice. Slowly she looked up at the giant white pillar in front of her, up at the brown haired man that was sitting on the throne that sat atop of the pillar. There were two men on each side of him from what she saw. One had silver hair and his eyes were closed the other had dreads and something covering his eyes.

"Where the hell am I and who the hell are you?" Shakana slightly glared as she stared up at him.

"You are in Las Noches. Though I believe the question is how you got here?" he asked.

"How the hell should I know?" she scoffed.

"I would watch how you speak to Lord Aizen." A voice spoke firmly from right beside her.

Shakana turned and looked at the person next to her. Her turquoise eyes slightly widen as she stared into dark green ones that held no emotions. From what she could tell the strange man had pale almost white skin as if he had never seen the light of day in his life. He had tear like strips down his cheeks that matched the color of his eyes. His hair was as black as hers but short and uneven. But what caught her attention the most was the strange bone like half helmet that was on the left side of his head.

"How did you manage to open the garganta girl?" Aizen spoke again causing her to look up at him again but with a confused look.

"The what now?" she raised a brow in confusion.

"The garganta girl don't play dumb." This time the guy that had the dreads spoke as he still turned his head towards her.

"Look I have no idea what the hell you're talking about and no I don't know how I got here…" She explained as she slightly glared at the guy that had insulted her. "All I know is that I was getting attacked by this monster and the portal opened up and basically dragged me in and now I'm here."

Aizen stared down at the girl before him with an interested look in his eyes. A human girl had managed to somehow open the garganta and enter Las Noches. A technique that only espadas and soul reapers could do.

"What is your name girl?" Aizen asked.

Shakana looked at the Aizen with a small glare as he asked what her name is. Something didn't sit right with her as she stared at him. His eyes were way to calm and his smirk creeper her out. What made it worse was the dangerous feel that seemed to fill the room.

"Shakana Kyōki."

"Shakana Kyōki…" he repeated with a smirk before looking at Ulquiorra. "Ulquiorra please take Ms. Kyōki to a room she is to stay here in Las Noches with us till I decided what is to be done with her."

"But sir! She is a human." Tousen quickly objected but was silenced as Aizen held up a hand.

"I have made my decision. After all I am still curious as to how she managed to open the garganta. A power that is meant for hollows." Aizen spoke calmly as he rested his chin against his hand and waved his hand.

"See that our guest is taken to her room." He said dismissing the fourth espadas and Shakana.

"As you wish my lord." Ulquiorra bowed again and looked at Shakana with a blank look. "Come…"

Shakana slightly sweat dropped as she watched as Ulquiorra turned and walked towards the door. She then looked back up at Aizen and frowned.

"I don't have a choice do I?" she asked but received no response from the man. "Guess not…"

Sighing she stood up and turned and followed after the raven haired espada. Before they walked out of the room a shiver went down her spine as if she felt someone watching her. She looked back into the room and frowned seeing no one and shrugged as she turned and walk out.

Sitting on a pillar hiding in the shadows a pair of electric blue eyes glared at the door were the girl once stood.
