Lucy pursed her lips. She was not happy by any means of the word. Oh no, a man who had heard of her wanted her for his own personal gain. Though she was a tiny bit grateful it was not for marriage. Small miracles.

"Is that the only reason or are there any more?" Ulquiorra still held her gaze. "There are no more reasons. If you choose not to leave willingly I will be forced to take you without consent. As you have witnessed a battle between the two of us would be of no use. You will go to Hueco Mundo either way. The decision is yours."

Ulquiorra was frustrated with this woman in front of him. The other girl was much more compliant once he threatened Ichigo's life. This woman -on the other hand- was too stubborn for her own good. He found this interogation pointless and a waste of time. Either way she was going to go with him, he at least wanted her to have the facade of having a choice. In reality she had none, she would be in Las Noches soon despite her answer.

He also knew a fight between the two would be no fortuous event. She had high spiritual pressure, he knew she was holding back. Like him she desired no conflict. However, conflict is all she would recieve if she were to resist.

He looked on as she held an internal battle. Her mouth was scrunched to the side, her brows furrowing and unfurrowing as she battled internal thoughts; indecision clear in her eyes. It would be easier to take her now while she isn't focused. His inner person spoke. Though it would make this job easier, he wanted her to at least decide her answer. He had to at least show the mirage kindness. Even though it was a false kindness.

Lucy checked back to Ulquiorra, his eyes were locked on her with an intensity one would use to study a specimen. A blush made its way to her cheeks. Now is not the time to be distracted! She mentally berated herself. She inhaled deeply. "I've made my decision. I will not go to Hueco Mundo based on the sole fact I am no ones tool."

Ulquiorra sighed, he had not wanted to resort to force. Have it your way, woman.

Lucy watched him through analytical eyes. She had a feeling he would use force despite giving her answer. Either way she knew she was going to be going with him no matter her answer. What she said made no difference. If that were the case she would not be going down willingly.

She was so focused on Ulquiorra she hadn't noticed the spiritual pressure coming in from behind. Something hit her neck. Her vision instantly turned black. Just like that she was unconscious.

Ulquiorra moved in as the girl fell unconscious. She landed in his arms. He lifted her up, threw her over her shoulder, and faced the very reason she was unconscious. Grimmjow stood behind where the girl was standing until a few seconds ago.

Irritation sprung within the man. He was going to do what Grimmjow had done, only in a much easier manner. Lord Aizen had asked no preventable damage be done to the woman. Grimmjow had done what he had wanted to prevent. Ulquiorra took one more look at the former Sexta Espada. The girl he had given the invisiblity bracelet to was hanging over his shoulder in the same state as the one over his shoulder. Another sigh slipped past Ulquiorra's lips. Both females had been given the choice; one accepted the other denied. However one was given the chance to bid farewell to a single person. Now she wouldn't have that chance unless she had done it before being captured.

"Lets return, Grimmjow. We have done what we were supposed to." As he spoke this he touched the spot to reopen the garganta he had come out of earlier. Doing so he shifted the woman from his shoulder to carry her in his arms. It felt less cumbersome that way.

Grimmjow grunted, he had wanted to fight that stupid Ichigo. Oh he was going to pay him back tenfold for the loss of his arm and rank as Espada. Instead he grumbled curses under his breath, shifting his captive to his arms. Having her in his arms was easier than having to carry her like a sack of potatoes.

Despite his grunts and grievensances he followed after the fourth Espada. Both captives were in the arms of their captors. Darkness engulfed them once they were in the garganta. Both walked until they entered the grounds of Las Noches. They continued to walk to each of their respective towers to place their captives until they were ready to meet with Lord Aizen.

Each girl was placed on their respective captors beds, each curling towards their captors general direction. Though neither were able to reach them for they had left to meet with Lord Aizen; a man they were soon to meet. A man neither wanted to meet but had their hands tied behind their backs. Thus that began their time in Hueco Mundo, a time neither female wanted to spend surrounded by the percieved enemy.
