Chapter Text
You can't believe what's going on. What do you mean, Hueco Mundo is a whole different world filled with unknown monsters called hollows?
Apparently, there are different levels, with the stronger ones being more human-like? And the strongest arrancars are ranked 1-10 and called espada? How were you supposed to comprehend all this new information? It's crazy, all of it.
You were scared, he had told you that everyone you knew in the world of the living has had you erased from their memory. You can't go back. Nothing will ever be the same at home again, if they ever decide to give you back.
Gloomy thoughts drowned over your mind, you were barely listening to the guy next to you. He was explaining everything that was going on, and all about Hueco Mundo, his name was Ulquiorra Cifer.
He must be strong, he was human-shaped, just barely taller than you are. But you knew he wasn't the strongest, he still had other features that weren't exactly human. He was unbelievably pale, not like anyone you had seen before, with green like drips coming down from his eyes. He had told you that he was the 4th Espada which meant he was the 4th strongest.
"Follow Lord Aizen's orders and you'll be fine." He stated, "However, your main concern should be Grimmjow."
You hesitated, "He's not that bad, is he?"
"Although he was instructed to protect you, your safety is not guaranteed. There's no doubt that you won't get injured by others, instead he will be the one to torment you." Ulquiorra added on
You sighed, kicking at the white sand at your feet as Las Noches came into view.
The rest of the walk, he continued to inform you about some people in Las Noches and what to expect. There's no telling how long you'll be here, perhaps the rest of your life, which was depressing to think about.
Your mind became a blur, not realizing you were finally at the destination until somebody spoke up. This must be Lord Aizen, right? He looked exactly how Ulquiorra had described him. And who else would be sitting on a throne besides the one who was in charge of the entirety of Hueco Mundo?
"Ah, thank you, Ulquiorra, for bringing her here. You can leave now." He smiles, straightening up.
You can hear Ulquiorra's footsteps growing fainter and soon disappearing completely. Yeah, this is 100% Lord Aizen.
"I'm sure Ulquiorra told you what's going on. You're here to prevent Grimmjow from further damaging the walls of Las Noches and killing off more arrancars." He sighs, a hint of disappointment in his voice,
"He is also to defend and prevent you from escaping."
You really doubt if that's possible; everyone here has powers and could easily take you down. There isn't any point in running away; you haven't even considered it.
“The reason we picked you is because you’re a lowly human. One with no powers who could be easily killed by even the weakest of hollows. This is to make sure Grimmjow is extra careful with you, so the walls of Las Noches and other hollows will be spared by him.” Aizen adds on.
Wow okay. People here aren't very nice, but what do they know about being humane?
They are just hollows, which are way worse than humans. But you knew, Aizen isn't an arrancar, he's a soul reaper. Why is he the ruler of Hueco Mundo then? Isn't the job of soul reapers to kill hollows? Whatever it was, you didn't dare ask, not wanting to talk to him.
Someone scoffs loudly, “Why do we have to keep her around? She’ll just slow me down.”
Turning around, you see someone with blue spiky hair with eyes that were a different shade. Oh dear… It was Grimmjow, with a mask near his jaw just as Ulquiorra described him.
“Now be nice Grimmjow, you may want to get along with her since you will be spending most of your time around her.” Aizen glares at Grimmjow, his smile dropping.
He doesn’t reply. Aizen took that as a sign to speak again, “Very well, take her to your room.”
Grimmjow turns sharply and walks away. You follow shortly behind him to his room.
The walk there was in utter silence, sometimes he would turn around to give you dirty looks, but that was all. Occasionally, you would have to run to catch up to him as he walked pretty fast compared to you.
Unlike the walk to Las Noches, which was just under an hour and a half, this one was about 10 minutes.
Once you walk into the room, you scan the inside. Although his room was massive, it was depressing and gray. There was a queen-size bed with a couch that could seat 3 people comfortably parallel from it.
There was also a table between the two and a dresser next to the bed. There is another door there, which you could only assume led to a bathroom.
“Do whatever you want, I don’t care as long as you don’t bother me. That’s the bathroom.” He snarled, pointing to the door with his chin.
You nod, not saying anything back.
“And you’re sleeping on the couch, just because I have to be nice to you doesn't mean you can try to sleep with me.” He grimaced.
You retaliated instantly, “I was not planning on it…”
He scoffs before lying down on his bed and staring up at the ceiling.
Walking into the bathroom, you pull off your backpack, thankful that Ulquiorra let you grab a few things before he took you.
You jumped at the sheer temperature of the water. It was freezing. Ignoring it as much as possible, you clean yourself up before putting on some clean clothes you had brought.
Today was exhausting, so much has happened that you question if you're dreaming or not. Pinching yourself, you sigh, no this is definitely real.
Looking over, you see Grimmjow with his eyes closed. You don’t hesitate before you close your eyes too, trying to end this hell of a day. It didn’t take long before you fell asleep. This was your life from now on, there’s no escape.
