The New Espada

In Las Noches, All of the Espada were on their way to the meeting room. They already knew that it was because they had intruders, but they still had to follow Aizen's orders of coming.

(Aizen's POV)

Aizen was sitting in the throne room thinking about what to do with their little intruders. Aizen was very aware that Ichigo Kurosaki was one of them and that he had gained a new power. He could care less and could be less intimidated. Aizen's espada were unstoppable. He knew that, but a quick thought crossed his mind. He thought it would be fun to watch Ichigo struggle even more trying to defeat him. Imagine if Ichigo had to go through 11 of the strongest arrancars instead of 10. Aizen liked this idea but it would really be a weird change for the other Espada. Aizen stood and started heading towards the meeting room.'I suppose I can talk to the other Espada about it. I wonder how they'll feel about it.' He thought. Aizen finally reached the meeting room assuming that all of the espada were already inside, but then he heard soft footsteps behind him. He turned and saw that it was Gin and Kaname.

"Sorry we're late Lord Aizen." said Kaname.

"Of course I knew you were going to be late too, so there really was no point to be in a hurry." Gin said with his normal creepy smile. Aizen gave him a look, but Gin kept his smile in place. Aizen really wasn't in the mood, he was still wondering whether or not to go through with his plan.

"Is everything alright Lord Aizen?" Kaname asked noticing his silence.

"Yes Kaname. Thank you for your concern." Aizen said opening the huge doors to the meeting room. 'My idea can wait until the end of the meeting.' He thought.

(Espada's POV)

The Espadas arrived in the throne room not surprised that Aizen wasn't there yet.

"Looks like we have intruders" Szayel said.

"And how do you know that?" asked Baraggan

"The 22nd underground passageway just collapsed." Zommari answered for him.

"The 22nd? That's not much of a threat. That's far from here." Baraggan scoffed.

"That's too bad really. It would have been more interesting if they broke into the throne room instead." said Szayel.

Nnoitra laughed his freakish laugh. "That would have been cool." He said.

"Oh my God!" Grimmjow complained "Can you not laugh like that?"

"Shut up Grimmjow. Why don't you just go and zip up your jacket? No one here thinks you're hot, so you can just cover up your freaking torso." Nnoitra said back.

"You shut up! Why don't you get a higher shirt? No one wants to see your boney chest. At least mine has muscles." Grimmjow shot back.

"Why don't you both shut up?" Harribel said.

"Yeah, keep it down." Coyote said. "I'm exhausted. I need quiet." Ulquiorra was the only one who was quiet when he sat down in his seat. As soon as he was seated, he closed his eyes. Seconds later they heard the door open.

" Hello my dear espada." Aizen greeted them.

"Lord Aizen." They all said in unison.

"Well, I'm sure you're all aware of our intruders." He said walking closer to them with Kaname on his left and Gin right. When he reached the table, he waited until everyone was ready to start. Kaname then turned on the hologram to reveal the three intruders.

"This is them." Aizen said. "Uryu Ishida, Yasutora Sado, and Ichigo Kurosaki" In a way, Grimmjow was sort of excited. He was dying for another rematch with ichigo.

"Are these humans seriously our threat?" asked Baraggan thinking it was a joke.

"Do not underestimate them." Aizen warned. "They're much stronger than they look"

Aizen then explained to them how the three of them once broke into the soul society and fought the 13 court guard squad.

"So they're here to save their friend. How sweet!" Nnoitra joked. Ulquiorra flinched a little at this. He and Orihime had gotten really close lately. Thankfully no one else knew about this. Ulquiorra didn't want to feel this way about her, but he just couldn't help it. The thought of her leaving now hurt him. He wouldn't allow it. He then relaxed his face realizing that it was slightly scrunched from the horrible thought. Aizen told everyone to go back to their rooms and act as though everything was completely normal. Ulquiorra had no intension of doing so. His first priority was seeing Orihime as soon as possible. After the meeting and everyone was staring to leave, Aizen suddenly stopped them.

"Oh, I almost forgot. I have something else I want to discuss with you all." Everyone sat back down immediately. Aizen cleared his throat and smiled before continuing.

"How would you feel if we had a new member to our little family" he asked. Gin chuckled.

'He's making it sound like he's pregnant.' He thought. The Espada weren't completely surprised. There had been other Espada. The only thing that they were really worried about was that it meant someone was getting replaced. Their eyes shifted back and forth at each other nervously wondering who it was going to be next. Aizen knew exactly what they were thinking and it made him smile even more. He was happy that it meant so much to them to be Espada. That meant they were completely loyal to him.

"Relax" Aizen told them. "No one is getting replaced. They all sighed in relief.

"Then why the hell are you suggesting we add a new Espada? Are you saying that you think we're too weak to take these punks on?" Grimmjow complained. It was obvious that he was nervous it would be him to get replaced.

"Of course not. I believe that you all are very strong and that it's nearly impossible to defeat you, but it doesn't hurt to be safe." He said shrugging.

"Okay….and what do you mean no one is getting replaced?"

"What I mean is that I have no intension of getting rid of any of you. I was simply suggesting extending the number of Espada from the top 10 strongest arrancars, to the top 11. After this, no one will ever be replaced. You are my perminate Espada." He paused. "Unless of course one of you was to die. Then I would have no choice but to replace you." Everyone was speechless. It's always been 10 of them. ONLY 10.

"Well, how do you feel about it Lord Aizen, I mean it all depends on your opinion anyway." Harribel said.

"I wasn't so sure about at first, but now, I think it's a good idea." He answered. "With this it will be certain that the will be unstoppable."

"If you think so, then we think so." She said.

'What a damn suck up' Grimmjow thought. Everyone but him agreed with her. He was going to give the newbie a hard time. Aizen could tell that from his facial expression. Just for that, Aizen would be sure that the arrancar he picked was a strong one. Ulquiorra could care less about the fact of having a new Espada here. Right now, the only thing important to him was seeing Orihime.

"Alright then" Aizen said "I won't be long. No longer than a few hours."

"You're leaving already?" Gin asked.

"The sooner, the better" he said before disappearing out of the room. The Espada then exited the meeting room and headed back to their own rooms. All except for Ulquiorra, who went straight to Orihime's room.
