Chapter 3

Ichigo's POV

I barely registered the knocking on the door. When the knocking became more persistent, I got more annoyed. I got out of bed, grumbling incoherent things, and went to door. I could sense Shiro behind me. When I opened the door, light flooded into the room burning my eyes. "What!" I snapped, irritated for being woken up from my deep slumber. The arrancar servant at the door flinched at the irritated orangette. From looking inside the dark room, Shiro was glaring at her with his eerie gold on black eyes, glowing in the dark with irritation, the girl was trembling slightly with fear.

"A-Aizen-sama s-sent me to r-retrieve you for the r-ranking evaluation." She stuttered. Shiro snorted, and I elbowed him in the stomach. The air leaving his lungs abruptly, leaving him out of breath.

"Right, we'll be out in a little bit. Thanks." I said to the messenger while Shiro was catching his breath, I shut the door, and walked to the wardrobe. The messenger waiting outside for the twins. "Let's see what kind of clothing they have in here for us." I wrapped my hands around the handles of the wardrobe, and opened it. There were various kinds of clothing. Me and Shiro looked at each other. This is gonna take a while. I thought to myself.

Shiro's POV

"Ugh. Have you picked one out yet." I asked as Ichigo tries out the clothes in the wardrobe.

"We would go through this quicker if you actually helped instead of sitting on our ass." I snorted.

"Not gonna happen, just pick something." Ichigo whipped his head around to glare at me. I grinned in return. He huffed and returned his gaze to the clothing in the wardrobe. He has at least tried on a dozen outfits already, and he hasn't chosen one. He's like a girl getting ready for a date. "Ugh, your like acting like a chick gettin' ready for a date." I huff and get up, deciding to help him pick something out. I walk to the wardrobe and looked inside.

"Am not!"I roll my eyes, and grab two outfits that looks vaguely familiar and look the same as each other. I gaze intently at the outfits. Ichigo catches it, and he also . He shrugged, and walked to the bed. We both quickly change, and exit the room, and find that the messenger is standing outside patiently. She leads us the throne room, where Aizen, Gin, Tousen, and the espada are waiting. While we're walking to the throne room I observe Ichigo's clothing. My clothes are the same as his too.(A/N: Ichigo and Shiro's bankai outfit, but there both white.) Some look about ready to kill somebody, and some looking boredly at the impatient ones.

"I see that you two have finally decided to join us."

"It's not like we had a choice in the matter." I grumbled, annoyance clear in my voice, Ichigo elbowed me in the ribs, I grunted by the sudden attack. I growled at Ichigo, but didn't retaliate.

Aizen smiled at them."Now that everyone is gathered, we'll begin the ranking evaluations." I interrupted him.

"Before you say or do anything else, lemme tell ya somethin'." If Aizen was irritated in any way he really good at not showing it. One of his lapdogs, the blind one spoke up, Tousen I think.

"How dare you interrupt Aizen-sama you insolent pig!" He started unsheathing his zanpaktou when Aizen lifted his hand and spoke still looking unfazed.

"It's fine Tousen, let him speak." Tousen scowled, obviously not thinking it's okay, but backed off any way.

"Okay, if we're gonna be ranked, then me and Ichi-berry are gonna be the same rank." Aizen raised an eyebrow at that, I rolled my eyes. "Me and Ichi are one of the same, our souls are half of each other. I'm his other half, and he's mine." Aizen hummed in understanding.

"Very well, I suppose I will let you two have the same rank, let's start." Aizen stood up and walked towards me and Ichigo. He stopped in front of us. "Would please take your top off?" I could see Ichigo scowl in the corner of my eyes. I snorted, and took my op off, and saw Ichigo do the same, but a with a little of pink dusting his cheeks.

Once that was done, he told us to turn around. Me and Ichigo had matching scowls on our faces. We both didn't trust this guy, but complied anyway.

Normal POV

Once Ichigo and Shiro turned around Aizen started to explain what he was going to do so they don't freak and lash out. "This might sting a bit, I'm going to infuse my reiatsu into your skin and make a tattoo. This will be your rank in the Espada. Your rank will already be someone else's rank, so you'll fight the current owner of the rank." The twins nodded their heads in understanding. "Who wants to go first?"

"I'll go!" Shiro said enthusiastically. He wants to get this done, and fight the current owner so badly. He's startled out of his thoughts when there's a searing pain on his right shoulder blade. He hisses in pain, not expecting to hurt this much. Before he knows it, Aizen is done with the number.

"Now don't turn around. I want it to be a surprise for the person you two will be replacing." Aizen says this with a cruel smile. "Now Ichigo let's get his done." He walks behind Ichigo. "Ready?" Ichigo nods his head. A searing pain erupts on his left shoulder blade just like Shiro, but different sides. He's slightly ready for the pain, so he just grunts in pain. It takes just as quickly as it does with Shiro's tattoo. "All done. Turn around and let the rest of the Espada see." Ichigo and Shiro turn around and faces Aizen, also letting the others see which rank they got.

Some gasp in shock, and some growl in anger. On there left and right shoulder blades are zero's, representing as the Cero Espada. Yammy yells out. "What the fuck? What is this shit? There's no way those scrawny weaklings could beat my resurrección!" Ichigo and Shiro bristle in anger, they slowly turn their heads. They glare at Yammy with cold, and emotionless eyes. This surprises most of the occupants of the throne room. Harribel calm voice slices through the tension that's growing between Yammy and the twins.

"Yammy you insolent fool, they are obviously stronger than you and your resurrección form." She said with a calm and stoic face. Yammy growls in anger.

"You bitc–" Aizen's humored voice cuts Yammy off. Everyone turning their heads to look at Aizen as he speaks.

"Now Yammy, since you seem so confident that you can beat these two, then why won't we gather around the outside of Los Noches." Aizen stands and addresses Gin. "Gin, will you fetch Ichigo and Shirosaki's zanpaktou."

"Yes, Aizen-sama." Gin disappeared and reappeared with the twins zanpaktou. They are both long thins blades with chains hanging at the hilt, but one is white, and one is black. (A/N: Ichigo and Shiro's bankai zanpaktou. XD) The zanpaktō are handed to their respectable owners. Once this is done. Aizen commands everyone to follow him outside of Los Noches.

Ichigo's POV

I walk beside Shiro as we make our way to our destination. I observe my surroundings and I'm quite disappointed. Everything is just plain white. Nothing else. I've noticed before we even arrived in the throne room for the rank evaluation. It's just endless halls of white.

Once we get outside, I see blue skies and giant red slanted pillars put in random places on the tan sand. We get to the edge of the tan sand and as Aizen gets closer to the wall it, a giant double door opens. Doors open and an endless sea of white sand and black skies with a crescent moon fill my vision as we step outside of Los Noches. We walk a little ways out in the sand for the fight so we don't damage anything when we begin our battle. The whole way there that idiot Yammy kept grumbling about us being weak and crap like that. It was honestly the most annoying thing thats happened all day.

We stop a good distance away from Los Noches. All the Espada get a good amount of distance away from the incoming battle. Me, Shiro and Yammy are waiting for Aizen to give us the call. Once It's given Yammy release his resurrección. A whirlpool of sand and spiritual pressure whirl around Yammy. He's grows and grows and grows. I felt my eyes widen at the sheer size of him. In the corner of the eye I see that Shiro also has the same reaction to his size. To be honest I didn't expect him to be so large. Yammy laughs a loud, obnoxious laugh. "Hahaha. Bet you didn't expect this! Face it, I'm more powerful!" Yammy readied his fist, and a red ball formed at his fist. Me and Shiro annoyed by his statement unsheathed our zanpaktō. As Yammy move his fist down, and shot the red ball down at us. We quickly sonidoed out of the way. I was interested at what that was so I asked, "What was that?" Yammy smirked.

"It's called Bala! It's just like a cero, but less powerful and 20 times faster. It can do lots of damage if fired in rapid fire, like this!" Red balls form on his fists, and he fires at us, laughing manically, in rapid fire. The explosion makes a giant mushroom of sand form in the air. When the sand clear out of the air, it shows me and Shiro a couple of feet away from each other, standing high in the air with not even a scratch on us. I have an emotionless face, and Shiro has a wide grin on his. At the same time me and Shiro drag our blades in the air, and flickers of black, and red start forming on the sharp edge of my blade. White and red flickers also form on Shiro's sharp blade. As we drag our blade through the air, more black and white form from our blades. We say our attack "Getsuga Tenshou," and it has everyone observing the fight stand on edge at the power radiate off of the twins. When we say our attack we swing our blades faster and release highly condensed spiritual power. As the special technique slashes through the air, the white and black clashes, and form into one giant attack, and hit Yammy straight into his chest. He was not able to black using his arms for the powerful attack was too fast for him to do anything. Smoke gathered around Yammy blocking everyones view of the damage. As the smoke slowly cleared everyone except the twins, Aizen, Gin, and Tousen, were shocked to see Yammy's eyes rolled in the back of his head, blood spewing out of his agape mouth, and the upper half of his body sliding off of his lower half. The ground vibrated greatly when the two halves fell to the ground. Blood pooled quickly around each half of his body. Someone started to slowly clap, and everyone's eyes looked to see who, and found Aizen smiling slightly and him slowly clapping. "Well done, Ichigo and Shirosaki. You are now the Cero Espada."

The World of The Living

Urahara's Shoten

Normal POV

Renji just stood there shocked. His hand still clenched lightly on Urahara's shirt. His mind racing. What are we going to do? What are we going to do? What are we going to do? WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?

Just then the door to the entrance slide open, and Orihime, Uryuu, and Chad run in. They have looks of panic on their faces, well maybe not Chad. "Ichigo's gone!" Uryuu and Orihime said at the same time. When they noticed what they walked into Uryuu asked, "What the hell is going on?" He looked to Rukia who had a saddened look on her face. Just by that he knew his suspicions were right. Ichigo is gone. Orihime noticed, and asked, to make sure, "Urahara-san? What happening?" The saddened look in her eyes made it hard for him to explain anything, before he could say anything, Rukia who hasn't said anything, spoke for the first time. "Ichigo was kidnapped by the enemy, and Aizen wishes to change him into an Arrancar, and make him switch sides. Apparently to what Urahara said he's probably an Arrancar by now." Her voice devoid to any emotion sent chills down everyones spines.

Orihime burst into tears, and fell to her knees. She had her hands covering her face while she sobbed. Chad who was quiet the whole time kneeled next to sobbing girl, and rubbed her back. Even though he was upset about Ichigo, he didn't show it while comforting Orihime. Uryuu just stood there slack jawed and wide-eyed.

Once Orihime was calmed down enough, she set her hands on her lap, and whispers the question that no one knows just yet. "What are we going to do?" She loos up at Urahara expecting an answer. This time around it seemed harder for him to answer.

Looking straight into the blood-shot eyes he said in a defeated voice, "I don't know." For the second time that night Orihime started sobbing.

Hueco Mundo

Normal POV

Ichigo and Shiro were walking through the sands of Hueco Mundo. Los Noches far off in the distance. They were just walking enjoying the peace it made. That peace was ruined when they heard the scream of a little girl. They looked around, trying to spot where it had come from. The girl screamed again, and they pinpointed it from behind a medium sized sand dune. Once they climb over the sand dune they see two hollows chasing after a little girl with short see-green hair, with a broken ram mask. She screams again, but this time sounding more amused than fearful. The twins continue to watch the hollows chase the girl, when finally they tackle her to the ground. They stared wide-eyed at the scene. The little girl, instead of screaming in fear, was screaming in amusement. They realized that the two hollows were tickling the little girl. They looked at each other, and chuckled at the scene. Finally realizing they had company, they shot their heads up in surprise. The little girl staring wide-eyed at the twins. She wiggled out of the hollows grasp, and ran to them. The hollows started panicking, and quickly got up and ran after her. She stopped in front of the twins, looking up at them with doe like eyes. Mentally awing at the sight of the little girl, they looked down at her, and Ichigo smiled gently, and kneeled down in front of her. "Hello little girl, may I ask what your name is?" She gave them a wide smile and answered with no hesitation.

"Nel! What your's?"

"Well, my name is Ichigo, and scary looking guy is Shirosaki, but you can call him Shiro." Ichigo looked up, and Shiro had a feigned look of hurt on his face. Rolling his eyes he looked back at the Nel.

"Itsygo and Shiwo. This is Pesche and Dondechaka." Laughing at the mispronounced names, he stood back up looking at the two hollows. Dondechaka had a giant face and had a polka dot suit, and Pesche had a bug like mask, and blonde hair coming out in the back.

He had a piece of cloth covering her groin area.

"Hello. So Nel what were you three playing if you don't mid me asking?" Nel giggled.

"We were playing Eternal Tag."

"Eternal Tag?"

"Yep! It's tag, but you don't stop playing!" She smiled brightly at them. "Wanna play with Nel?"

"Sure. Shiro play with us!" Shiro just stared, but caved when they looked at him with pouty faces. "Fine."

They played for several hours, but stopped when the twins started getting drowsy and sluggish. They said their good-byes, and headed back to Los Noches. Once they were back an in their room they didn't bother changing, and plopped down on the big bed, and instantly falling asleep.
