My Tenderness

Chapter 1:

It was like Aizen sama to call his favourite ten for tea out of the blue. He had announced that the tea would be accompanied by an extremely important issue that would determine the fate of them all.

The Espada shuffled their way to their designated seats around the long dark table in the centre of the room. Each one of them waited patiently for the appearance of Aizen and his two men, Gin and Tousen.

No words were spoken, only simple gestures and death glares from Hallibel to Noitora.

Aizen slid into the room smoothly with his two companions. He smiled at his ‘children’ and sat at the front of the table.

“Please. Have your tea. It was made special for this occasion.” He watched as they picked up their tiny cups and sipped.

“Good, good. Now that we are all settled down, let me introduce to you…” Aizen nodded his head at Gin who obeyed and place a peculiarly small box onto the table in front of Aizen. The small white box was no bigger than a case that would hold an engagement ring.

Aizen lightly lifted the top of the box and reached inside to pull out a small red candy like heart.

“This, my dear children, is your life.” The Espada watched closely as Aizen carefully placed the small item onto the table, “In here contains the soul of Hueco Mundo along with all of your own. Unfortunately, it was produced as a by product of the Espada. If anything is to happen to this heart, no one that was born a child of Hueco Mundo will cease to exist.”

Grimmjaw shifted in his seat uncomfortably. Pathetic. How could they rely on such a thing to hold their life?

The rest of the group thought the same, but no one dared to ask a question.

“So I have made a plan to keep this in a safe place.” Aizen continued. He placed the heart gently back into the box, “If a shinigami is ever to know of this heart, we are at a risk of being wiped out.. This was initially thought by Gin.” Gin smiled at the rest of them.

Noitora snorted at him. Aizens personal sex toy.

“My purpose is to bring forth a human to live with us in Las Noches. This human will be chosen by lottery and brought here.”

“What?! Are you sayin that we gonna depend on some human to hold our life?”

“Yes,Grimmjaw. That is my intention. Only a human would be capable of doing this.”

“Fuck that.” Grimmjaw slammed his back against the cold chair, crossing his arm in anger.

“The arrangement has already been made and the lottery has been drawn earlier by my self. This person will become our protection and out shield.”

“If I may ask Aizen sama, why a human, and why keep them in Hueco Mundo?” Ulquiorra asked out of curiosity.

“Simply because a shinigami would never harm such a vulnerable creature. The shinigami are designed to protect humans, and in protecting humans, they will be protecting us without the slightest hint. The human will come to Hueco Mundo to avoid any conflicts with danger and power changes they might experience.”

Ulquiorra nodded understanding Aizen sama’s plan.

“So if you will, I have appointed Ulquiorra and Grimmjaw to find this human and bring them back home. The human you are looking for is known as Niiya Mayu. Please return home safely.”

Grimmjaw gritted his teeth angry that he was doing such a useless thing and on top of that, with Aizen’s fanclub leader Ulquiorra. He gazed angrily at Ulquiorra as he followed him to go to the material world.

The fabric between the two dimensions split as the thread was broken between them by Ulquiorra’s pointed finger. He stepped out onto the dark sky with his ‘brother’ Grimmjaw next to him. They kept their reiatsu level at a minimum in order to avoid passing by shinigami’s.

Ulquiorra closed his eyes to sense the human.

Grimmjaw rolled his eyes at Ulquiorra and attempted to search for the human on his own.

“Stop Grimmjaw. I have already scented their soul.”

“If ya were any slower, we’d be in this shit hole for days!” Grimmjaw spat out.

Ulquiorra ignored. Grimmjaw’s remarks meant nothing to him. Grimmjaw was far below Ulquiorra and he had to accept it.

They both landed gently onto the pavement and stood in front of a gate.

“The hell are we standin here like idiots?” Grimmjaw was never patient with Ulquiorra’s orders. It always annoyed him how boring Ulquiorra could be.

A girl almost half the size smaller than Grimmjaw turned the corner. She eyed the two suspiciously, looking at their rather odd clothing. Her brunette top flowed down passed her shoulders but were thinner than paper.

Her eyes were a clear purple with a hint of blue. Here eyebrow rose.

“Umm… excuse me but you’re standing at my gate.”

Grimmjaw almost flew back.

“She can see us?!” He pointed accusingly at the girl and looked at the tear stripped Espada who didn’t look surprised in the least.

“Niiya Mayu?” Ulquiorra asked with no emotions attached.

“Yes, and who are you?”

Grimmjaw’s lips quickly curled into a smirk and he chuckled at the girl.

“The Espada, chick,” he replied, “Yer new family.”

“Whatever.” She disregarded his reply and attempted to squeeze between the two of them to open her front gate. Grimmjaw grabbed onto her arm before she could reach it.

“Yer comin’ with us and there aint jack shit you can do bout it, buttercup.”

Ulquiorra had no comment. As long as their mission was complete, then he would not complain, no matter the situation. He pointed his finger at thin air and opened a garganta.

Mayu’s eyes widen as she watched it split the two worlds. She screamed but only a squeal came out before Grimmjaw placed his hand over her mouth.

“Geez, you aint gotta scream ‘bout it.”

“Welcome Mayu san,” Aizen looked down at the girl that Grimmjaw had full control over. She was pissing off Grimmjaw but it was his job to keep her still and from running. She had bit him, licked him, cursed at him, and kicked his privates but he was forbidden to harm her.

“Fucken bitch stop squirming.” Grimmjaw was a million times more powerful than her so she felt like a fly trying to escape from his grasped but at the same time, it made him annoyed.

“Let go! Let me go you perv!” Mayu didn’t know what they wanted; all she knew was that she was in some place with a bunch of men. She disallowed fear to show in her eyes although she was the vulnerable type.

“Please Mayu san. We are not here to inflict any sort of pain on you.” Aizen rose from his seat and descended the stairs to talk face to face with the frightened human girl, “We want you to become part of our growing family. You were chosen to come, please, be honoured by that fact.” He had reached the girl. He bent down and smiled at her, patting her head.

“You awfully remind me of one of my old shinigami comrades, Momo Hinamori. She was a special girl to me you know. She absolutely adored me as her superior captain and I adored her as my vice captain knowing that her loyalty to will benefit me in the end.”

Mayu kept kicking at Grimmjaw who wouldn’t even have to move to dodge. He squeezed her hands together tighter behind her back making her groan in pain. Grimmjaw brushed her hair away from her ear and whispered into them.

“Do you want me to squeeze them tighter until they fall apart, sweetheart?”

“Grimmjaw. She is our guest, treat her with respect. Let her go.” Grimmjaw snorted and threw the girl to the floor. She landed with a hard thud cursing under her breathe.

“Bastard.” She growled back at Grimmjaw who only smirked at her.

“Please forgive his behaviour Mayu san.” Aizen helped the girl to her feet.

“What do you want from me?” Mayu held onto her wrist trying her best not to cry from the abuse they had gone through under Grimmjaws brutal strength.

“As I have told you before, I want you to be part of the family. Actually, I want you to be the family tree.”

“What are you talking about?”

“I need you to trust me Mayu san, to trust all of us. You are our means of survival.”

Mayu was in no shape to run away and if she did, where to? There was no doubt that she was not even close to home anymore. There was no way out for her. Her eyes dodged from Grimmjaw to Ulquiorra and back at Aizen.

“I will give you time to think Mayu san, please choose a wise choice. I am Aizen sama, and these two are Grimmjaw and Ulquiorra arrancars and members of the Espada. They are your guide at Las Noches so please enjoy their hospitality.”

“Ulquiorra, lead Mayu san to your quarters. Her bedroom awaits her there.”

“Hai, Aizen sama.” Aizen passed Ulquiorra,

“And if she refuses my offer, kill her.” He whispered into the small arrancars ear. Ulquiorra nodded.

“Good. I will hear an answer in the morning.”

Aizen trailed off into the hallway with Gin and disappeared.

---

Mayu felt powerless; there was nothing that she could do in this situation. They all seemed to be extremely powerful, and not humans for that fact. She didn’t know exactly what they were and she didn’t want to. She followed behind Ulquiorra to wherever he was taking her.

“Can I ask you something umm…Ulquiorra?”

“Hn?” was his only reply.

“Please, I want to know the real reason why I’m here. I had never done anything to you or anyone else here.”

Ulquiorra felt it would be a waste to kill her if she refused because she was so useless to his powers and he didn’t like to kill those who were no threat against him.

“You were chosen by lottery to become the heart of Hueco Mundo. If you choose to accept this fate, no one in Hueco Mundo will harm you. If you hold the heart of Hueco Mundo, you become our gate to survival and if you die, so do we. If you choose to live here in Las Noches, you will forever be protected by the most powerful arrancars and the Espada.”

So they really weren’t going to kill her.

“If you refuse so…I can not allow you to step out of Hueco Mundo alive.”

This was a losexlose situation. She had no choice but to accept.

“Then I must accept?”

“If you value your life, yes.”

Ulquiorra stopped and opened a door he turned around to look at the frightened girl who was ready to release tears from her eyes. He stared at her, unable to comprehend to the sudden emotion she showed.

Mayu smiled at the tear stripped arrancar and wiped her eyes with her sleeve.

“There is a change of cloth for you. Someone will be here for you in the morning.” Mayu walked into the plainly white room. Ulquiorra closed the door behind her, leaving the poor human girl to curl on the floor and sob.
