Shun-po was fun, especially in the hallways on the way to a Captain's meeting. What she was doing going to a captain's meeting she didn't know.

It was boring going around as a messenger, but it gave her an excuse to go places others sometimes couldn't enter. For example, a meeting of the elite Shinigami, a.k.a, captains. Now she remembered what she was doing... Delivering Kuchiki-Taichou's lunch bill. Smirking at the amount on the bill, she remembered two things. First of all, he was rich, and the bill amount was pocket change to him, and second, she was forbidden to read the messages she sent. Upon arriving, she was pleased to see that they sensed her presence and had opened the door for her, unlike the previous time, where she had beat on the door until Soifon-Taichou opened the door while most of the other captains appeared to be vehemently discussing the upcoming Winter War. Now, they were silent.

"Kinomi Tezema, enter." boomed Yamamoto-Soutaichou.

She scampered in as usual, and delivered the message to Kuchiki-Taichou. Then, another messenger, a friend of hers, Kaichou, entered hurriedly to deliver an elegant scroll to Yamamoto-Soutaichou. It had the mark of the Central 46… usually a sign of something important, or even something grave. The old man must've thought he was reading in his head, but he was reading aloud, quite loudly.

"Kinomi Tezema has been convicted of reading a forbidden document-" he mumbled before Ukitake-Taichou interrupted him and gave him the news that he was reading aloud. Yamamoto-Soutaicho quickly finished reading the document and then turned to face the confused young woman. She hadn't read any document! Except for the bill... But how could they have known?!?!

"Kinomi Tezema, you have committed a serious crime, and therefore must be either put in prison or forever banished to the Human World and stripped of your powers. Choose, quickly, before I simply execute you," he said calmly, as if nothing was wrong, no one's life was at stake.

"Human World!" she screamed furiously.

"Then so it shall be." he said.

Soon after, she was stripped of her rank, powers, and dignity. The pain was nearly unbearable, but she endured it for the slight chance that she could escape, unscathed. An unnamed assassin escorted her to the Human World, and dumped her in a town named, Karakura Town. It was a peculiar town, with the amount of reaitsu emanating from it. Being lucky, she was still able to sense reaistu, but a major amount, such as the one Karakura was giving off, gave her a headache. Suddenly, her headache worsened and she fell to the ground in immense pain. She heard a ripping sound while she was fading out of consciousness and then someone picked her up with ease. Her headache disappeared as she opened her eyes and found herself inside a darkness. She soon lost consciousness and went limp in the arms of whoever had taken her from Karakura, the peculiar town.

"Tezema-chan, wake up please." said a puny female voice, barely audible.

Groaning, she lifted her arm and saw it was in a silk white dress. She stood up slowly, eyeing the young girl who had asked her to wake up. Tezema was now wearing a beautiful silk dress with a plunging neckline, which she happened to hate. She was barefoot, but it felt good to no longer wear socks and sandals, which she always found silly.

"How do you like your dress, Tezema-chan?" said the girl, hoping to see satisfaction from her.

"Hmm? I like it, just the-" she began to say, before the girl cut her off.

"Oh, the neckline was Aizen-sama's idea, he likes to help me design the clothes of visitors, especially the pretty ones," she said absent-mindedly

"Uh-huh." said Tezema, wandering off, about to open the door when she turned back to face the girl. She was an arrancar. And had she said Aizen-sama? She froze in cold sweat. Was she in Hueco Mundo, kingdom of the hollows?
