Okay, this is a very short story that wouldn't leave me alone. Really, I should be working on my other stories but I'm stuck with both of them.

Ulquiorra shut the door on the unhappy girl and stepped back. She had handled leaving well, though he had noticed her red eyes. It wasn't that he hadn't expected her to cry, from what he had heard human females were unnecessarily emotional, it was that she had stopped herself before he came that made him reconsider her discipline.

When she had healed Grimmjow, the fact she had kept up this mask was enough to make him reevaluate the human, though her surprise when the Espada member killed Luppi brought her impractical empathy to light.

He reported to Aizen what he needed to know and bowed, "…and I believe your tactics have successfully trapped the girl. Soon, she will think it was her fault for coming here. Anything else you need, Aizen-sama?"

Information transmitted, he awaited orders to leave.

Aizen, however, had other instructions for him. "Don't you think, Ulquiorra, that it would be nice to have the girl's loyalty completely secure?" He didn't ask what his lord meant, instead gave a small nod as was expected. "Now… How do you think we could be get this?" He knew better than to answer, for that was not what the man wanted, he instead awaited what else Aizen would say. "Why, someone could seduce her."

He realized then Aizen expected an answer. And he also realized no would not be allowed. He was unable to speak for a moment, disgusted by the notion of having to allow the girl to get closer to him; all thoughts on her strength vanished quickly. "Yes, Aizen-sama."

The shinigami's smile grew, "Was that an offer?" A small nod satisfied his upper, "Wonderful! Now, go on, you shouldn't waste too much time!" Ulquiorra knew better than to express anything other than obedience and left the room. Aizen's wishes must be obeyed.
