"What would I do next? Of course I am going to Hueco Mundo and rescue Inoue!"
Ichigo responded without even thinking.
"That Inoue is really… we don't need her to protect us, as a girl, why won't she just stand behind honestly for a while? She has healing powers, what's wrong with staying behind? Why would she take such risks!"
Ichigo babbled and complained about Orihime's various problems.
But Rukia and Renji on the side could see that Ichigo was not in a good mood, he was really affected by her departure.
"Ichigo..."
Rukia spoke softly, not knowing how to comfort Ichigo.
In the following time, no one was in the mood to go back to sleep. The fact that Orihime was taken away by an arrancar was stuck on everyone's mind, which made everyone feel very uncomfortable.
...
Orihime only felt that her eyes going dark, and when she saw something again, she was already in a grand building with bright lights. The building had a unique-style, and the interior didn't look too bad.
"Let's go, Aizen-sama wants to see you." Suddenly a voice came from behind. Orihime was startled, she turned around and looked, and it turned out to be Ulquiorra, he was standing behind her with no expression on his face.
"Oh, okay." Orihime followed Ulquiorra. She looked at the surrounding environment curiously along the way. She still remembered what shinigami said abot the environment of Hueco Mundo, it was vast desert at a glance, and in Hueco Mundo, one couldn't tell the time, and there was no such thing as day and night in many places.
But Orihime looked at the surrounding situation and found that it was very different from what the others said. The sky outside looked blue and the surroundings were bright.
"This is Las Noches, which is specially built by Aizen-sama, and it is also where the arrancars live." Ulquiorra introduced the situation of Hueco Mundo while walking, and of course he only introduced the general situation of the Las Noches.
Soon the two came to the front of the main hall, and when Orihime opened the door, she saw a man sitting on a seat in the center of the palace. There were many figures standing, including arrancars and the familiar Ichimaru Gin.
However, although she recognized Gin, Orihime had never interacted with him, so it could not be said that she was familiar with him.
"There are so many people." Orihime muttered from the bottom of his heart.
"Aizen-sama, I have brought Inoue Orihime." Ulquiorra walked to the throne and bowed.
"Okay, you've done your job well Ulqiorra." Aizen rested his head on one hand and looked at Orihime with interest.
"Your name is Inoue Orihime, right? Welcome to our castle, the Las Noches." Aizen who was sitting on the throne, adjusted his position and said.
"Yes." Orihime nodded.
"I'm sorry for being so abrupt, but I'm really interested in your ability, can you show me it?" Aizen spoke bluntly, expressing his purpose.
Orihime was also taken aback by his purpose, she didn't expect that Aizen asked Ulquiorra to bring her to Hueco Mundo because he was interested in her ability.
She suddenly felt a little wronged, Aizen was so unreasonable, just to see her ability, he did not hesitate to threaten her friends and town and force her into coming to Hueco Mundo.
But now that she had arrived there, it seemed impossible to refuse any more.
So, Orihime could only nod and comply.
Seeing this, Aizen made a gesture, he seemed to be already prepared to witness her ability. Immediately, two disabled arrancars came, and he asked Orihime to show her power and healed their crippled bodies.
Orihime remained silent, and immediately used the ability of Shun Shun Rikka, and others saw that the crippled bodies of the two arrancars were slowly recovering.
"Um?"
Seeing this scene, the eyes of many arrancars in the field flickered, and the Bount headed by Kariya Jin also noticed the specialness of Orihime's ability.
As Orihime healed the injuries of the two arrancars, Aizen also slowly explained Orihime's ability.
"Ulquiorra believes that her ability is time-regression or space-regression, but it is neither of them. It is refusal. Her ability is to negate, deny, and limit all things that happens to the target object, so that the object returns to its previous-state, that is, the state before the accident happened, which is far above just time-regression or space-regression. It's an ability to easily surpass the standard set by god and violate the realm of god."
'A power that violates the realm of the gods, is this why Aizen values her?' Someone with the same thought sighed.
'Aizen-sama really has a unique vision!' Some loyal fans of Aizen thought so.
So was the real reason Aizen brought Orihime here because of her abilities?
Orihime's abilities certainly interested him, but in fact, his real purpose was to pull Ichigo away from Karakura Town through Orihime, so as to avoid Ichigo from hindering him.
Letting Orihime show her ability in front of everyone was just an excuse to hide his true purpose.
Then, Aizen asked Ulquiorra to take Orihime to the chamber designated to her for rest. After all, it was still night in the world of living, and she must be quite tired after brought there suddenly in the middle of the night.
Aside from being self-willed in some aspects, Aizen was actually quite polite.
(T.L Note: Yeah, he even cut people to pieces while talking politely)
…
In the world of living.
Ichigo, Rukia and others stayed up until dawn.
Because of Orihime, Ichigo was not in the mood to continue his hollow training.
A good friend was taken to Hueco Mundo and her life and death was uncertain, he doesn't care about anything else right now.
At that moment, he had only one thought, and that was to go to Hueco Mundo and rescue Orihime.
"Ichigo, I'm sorry, for some reasons, we can't go to Hueco Mundo with you and can't help you." Rukia said to Ichigo with a complicated expression.
Ichigo was not surprised by this, nor did he mean to force it, "I understand, I will find a way to save Inoue by myself."
Immediately, he took Sado in the direction of the Urahara store.
He believed that Kisuke, the store manager, must have a way to help him go to Hueco Mundo.
After Ichigo left, Rukia looked at Mazuru and hesitated to speak.
"You want to ask, why am I unwilling to help Ichigo, right?" Mazuru asked Rukia back.
Rukia nodded. The previous words were actually told to her by Mazuru, so she said them.
"After all, our task is to be stationed in the world of living, and without the head-captain's instruction, it is not easy for us to step into Hueco Mundo. Moreover, it is not much long before the decisive battle."
Rukia got the answer and looked a little depressed.
"Can't you really help Ichigo?" Rangiku couldn't help but asked Mazuru.
"I can only ask the head-captain for instructions in this matter." Mazuru said calmly.
Then, after he informed the Soul Society of Orihime being taken to Hueco Mundo by an arrancar, the reply from the head-captain was to ask them to go back to the Soul Society first, and discuss things after they returned to the Soul Society.
