~~Time flew~~

Unknown to the two white Hollows, decades passed and many things happened.

He came to . . . tolerate her, for the lack of a better word. Even he was unsure as to where she lay, and it irked him although he didn't let it show.

She became comfortable in his prescense, and whatever 'unease' she had dissapeared amidst the dunes of sands.

And amidst it all, they learned each others' names.

A Shinigami came to Hueco Mundo and de-throwned Barraggan, taking the seat of King to himself; not long after that, the same Shinigami found them and recruited them in his army. Personally, Kanna didn't like being under his leadership, but since the bat Vasto Lorde agreed she would follow; although his reasons for agreeing to be loyal to Aizen Sosuke was unknown to Kanna.

Shortly after, they were turned into beings called "Arrancars", which was the name given to Hollows that take off their masks and gain Shinigami Powers.

Given the number of 44th Arrancar, she paid no attention and just remain impassive about the ranks; it had been a long time since she saw her own face. There had been a strange feeling in her chest, but she paid it no mind. Her appareance was the same as when she was . . . alive; white hair, pale skin, black eyes and a stone expression. She noticed that her height was slightly taller, being roughly around 147cm. Her Zanpakuto was a rather short sword, being as long as from her elbow to her fingers, although it was entirely silvery-blue, including her sheath and hilt.

Still, was anything supposed to be different? Despite taking off her mask, there was still something missing, and Kanna frowned whenever she thought about it.

Her companion, Ulquiorra Cifer as she learned during all these years, was made the 4th Espada amidst the other 10, currently the 4th strongest of the Espadas Ranks and her superior. Surprisingly, he took her in as a Fraccion, a fact which made other Arranca choke in disbelief and rub their eyes; in their eyes, Ulquiorra seemed like an emotionless prick with no life, only loyal to Aizen Sosuke and it was utterly ridiculous to imagine him taking another being under his protection.

After all, a fraccion was a subordinate, who served under an Espada and received his or her protection.

And to imagine Ulquiorra Cifer, an Arrancaer known for his empathy, taking a Fraccion? He would be the last person they would ever expect taking a subordinate and protect him or her.

For the following years, Kanna was oblivious to how other Arrancar and Fraccion tried to corner her.

Ulquiorra also saw it fit any threat to the little Arrancar were removed, for reasons he refused to say.

Okay. I admit I chewed off more than I could when I wrote this up. Kanna is a difficult character to write, Ulquiorra just as much; but I have an idea as to how this should turn out. Fillers in this are incredibly difficult to imagine, thus I will just time-skip the time between Ulquiorra and Kanna. Also, I think I should have said this sooner, but this won't be a pairing between Kanna and Ulquiorra. x.x I have other plans for them.
