(Old note) A/N: I'M GETTING EXCITED, IT'S GETTING CLOSER TO A CERTAIN SCENE I'VE DAYDREAMED ABOUT FOR SOME TIME NOW! I know, I say that ALOT with my chapters...but can you blame me?! This is the first arc I ever made, aside from my Hunter x Hunter fanfic, where it takes place 3 years before the actual plot of the anime.~

HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS!

My dear sister...don't worry... I shall protect you...~ Morgus's muscly handsome voice resonated, as he sat in the middle of a cell behind bars. Sitting in a chair, facing the only window and hands resting on his lap. His backside was in view until it showed his smirking lips from the side. Only his dark grin was visible, his eyes and most of his hair were hidden from the close-up range. Tatsibura...Donieri... I will find out what you're hiding...Hmhmhmhm... They tried so hard to cover for themselves, but they had no idea that I was merely playing along. She will have our heads, is what they were basically saying... An investigation is necessary and so is...death... he spoke the last word in a much darker tone, then chuckled to himself. His low laughter gave off an ominous and insane feeling as if he had turned into some murderer who had chosen his next target...

Behind him, the sound of doors opening occurred and squeaked. His head rose slightly upon hearing this and looked over his shoulder, just so his own brown eyes could peek over it. What was unexpecting, was his very target to step in and walk up to the other side of the bars; Haro stood there with a triumphant smirk and squinted slits. "Hello Setsuen, I heard you were put into this cell for treason.~" he sang and crossed his arms.

"Why are you here...?" Setsuen questioned the vampire and stared with a slight grin. Killer's intent was still evident in his eyes, wanting nothing more than to murder the man who was refusing to leave his sister be and who may be plotting something behind everyone's back.

"Oh, I just wanted to see how my Gothic Goddess's brother was doing!~ I plan to make my move on her soon and when I say soon, I mean...while you're still in here...~" he smirked with his mouth open a little and lowered his face. Those words only made Morgus flash and appear up close to the man, grab his neck then ram his face into the bars. Even though he rammed his face, he kept it tightly against him and inched his own closer to Haro's.

"If you do, I shall slice off every limb...grind them into mush and throw them into a large puddle of acid... When I get out of here, my first priority will not be my sister..." Morgus's glare was so intimidating and murderous, that it would scare any normal shinigami or human to the brink of passing out; though, it hadn't even fazed the vampire. Haro just rose one corner of his mouth, exposing one of his fangs, and giggled.

"I would love to see you try, your sister is the first to ever move me this much...and I plan on going further.~" he mused, somehow broke free from Setsuen's deathly grip and backed up. He was laughing to himself as he turned to leave, leaving the hybrid in his cell to his thoughts.

"I'm going to kill that man...oh...so...brutally..." Morgus's head rose and his eyes shut, with a little tune escaping his closed smile. Images played through his mind about how much fun he was going to have with murdering the vampire, in such...gruesome ways.

~~~Elsewhere~~~

Back with Aurora; she was pacing casually around in her vampiric cave, flapping her fan in thought and having one hand over her stomach. She was walking elegantly, her hat still on and hiding her eyes. "My...my...so much to think about...~ Tatsibura and Donieri almost got discovered, my position had almost got exposed and Koumetsu has yet to be killed, along with her brother.~" she noted to herself while walking in a circle in the middle of the cave. The sounds of water dripping could be heard throughout the surroundings and the only light that shined gleamed ever so beautifully.

She halted in her step for a moment and spotted a door not too far from the exit, a smirk graced her dark violet lips clearly thinking about something; waltzing up to it, the door looked the same as the exit's but smaller. She pressed a button that was above the door and made a lever appear out of the wall, on the side. She pulled it and it revealed a tall man who stood about the same height as Daomig'rah, close to eight-foot.

A full metal face mask was on the male. Its eye sockets were in the shape of wide and oval insect or snake eyes, they were slanted down with the corner of the eyes up. The mask was shaped like a right-side-up water/tear drop, only the mouthpiece wasn't curled; The mouthpiece had an outlining of a tight mouth mask and had a line going up the center, reaching just below where the nose would be. His hair was dark gray and was styled to be a samurai's ponytail, it was a little long, reaching just the middle of the back of his neck. His skin tone was a teal color mixed with blue, making him look as if he were dead and adorned, was one long line down both arms. The lines would start just underneath his chin, go down over his adam's apple, and would separate to go to both arms. They go over his shoulder, down his biceps, forearms, and ends with a sharp point a ways past the top of his wrist.

His attire consisted of a sleeveless half-shirt, with a none folded collar around his neck and was open in the front. His shirt was zipped up just between his pecks and stopped just under them. The shirt was made to look like a trench coat at the bottom, so it was open in the front around his abdomen. The tail of it went down past his knees and there was a wide black strap made with the top, one over each shoulder. His bottoms were jeans with a black belt through its loops and his shoes were short combat boots. His shirt, mask, and shoes were a bronze yellow and his pants, mouth part of his mask were dark brown.

He was up against the wall, his head hung low and his form behind held up by a wooden stand. "My dear, soon you will be needed...once more. In due time, my tall cyborg...your power will need to be used, and when that time comes, would be when my current right-hand man dies.~ Be prepared, I sense that he will indeed...need to be replaced...hmhmhmhm...~" the woman sang and chuckled. She stared up at the cyborg and her crimson diamond-shaped slits gazed at the glass-looking eye sockets in his mask; his eye sockets and the lines on his arms were a dim yellow.

~~~Elsewhere~~~

Donieri was running through the seireitei searching for her friend. Passing other soul reapers in the process, she just so happened to find her Captain waltzing out of her division; knowing him, he might know where Haro went. "Captain Kyouraku!" she hollered and trotted on over to the said man. Flash stepping, she appeared before him and bowed in respect, her maroon hair dangling past her face.

"Hello Donieri, what brings you here?" he questioned with a content smile and kept his gaze upon the said girl. His pink coat that was over his shoulders waved from the soft breeze that occurred, brushing the girl's hair as well.

"Captain...where's Haro?" the girl asked as her head rose and made her mauve eyes meet his. She saw him look up in thought, heard him hum, and watched him tap his chin with his finger; smiling, he shut his eyes and chuckled.

"Why, I have no idea.~ Why not check the training hall at Captain Ukitake's division, he's bound to go there," he answered and stuffed his arms in both of his shihakusho sleeves.

"Thank you, Captain!" she bowed once more and was about to leave until she heard Kyouraku speak.

"Oh and Donieri?" he asked, saw her turn around to face him and blink in curiosity. "Could you deliver these papers to Captain Kuchiki? I would do it, but I'm rather busy at the moment.~" he pleaded and made a pouting lip to her, with puppy eyes.

She sweatdropped and had an oh brother...expression, thinking that this was her Captain... "Seriously...? I don't want to do it either!" she huffed and balled her fists. The results of her comment just made her Captain pretend to pass out from exhaustion, having the papers fall out of his hands.

"I can't go on anymore...you must take over this task and complete it... This is your Captain's dying wish, you wouldn't turn me down, would you?~" his eyes watered and wavered, acting as if life was draining from him during that moment.

She just stared at the man with her elven-like eyes them being narrowed and unfazed. Giving in, she sighed and walked over, shaking her head in the process. "You're hopeless, Captain... Let me guess, you're going to get drunk behind our Lieutenant's back and go lay around...?" asked the young woman in an annoyed tone, after picking up the papers and turning her backside to him.

"Now that's not very nice, in fact- I'm actually going to visit Captain Komamura," he answered with a smirk, and his eyes closed, after getting up. He fixed his attire since it was all ruffled up from that little...act he did.

"And, what...get drunk with him...?" she was now facing him and the back of her head was in view, she had another sweatdrop fall down the back of it. All was quiet until he flash-stepped out of view and left her there. It took a minute to process but when it did, recognition hit her and she widened her eyes. "CAPTAIN!" she yelled with her fists up in the air. One of her cheeks puffed out while her gaze squinted, she never did like how he always ran off on his duty.

After a few minutes had passed, she made it to Captain Kuchiki's division and stood in front of his office. The papers were held in one arm and the other hand about to knock, the very Captain opened his door in a rush. She halted in her attempt to knock, if she hadn't...she would have hit the Captain... She stared up at his tall form, mentally questioning if he heard her, seen her, or just KNEW she was coming. "Is there something you need, Donieri...?" he asked, watching her small frame stand there unfazed by his handsomeness.

"Captain Kyouraku said that I had to deliver this to you," she simply answered and held out the papers to him, which he took without a second thought.

"I assume he put this task on you, knowing he would not get away with laying around when his Lieutenant is around..." he concluded then walked back inside his office, plopped the papers down on his desk, and walked back out.

"Yeah, he went to go visit Captain Komamura..." Mai rolled her mauve eyes to the side and grumbled, it was clear she wasn't happy that he went to go and try to get drunk...with Sajin...

"I see...very well. Now return to your duties, I have business elsewhere," the Captain ordered and shut his door, making his way down the path.

"Yes, Captain!" she bowed and when he was out of sight, she vanished. She went to go search for Haro, hoping that he was in the training hall with Ukitake. When she arrived though, she looked around and didn't see any signs of the Vampire. I have to tell him... I have to tell Haro what Kisaki said! mentally noting, with her mauve eyes scanning the surroundings. Just as she was about to leave, she heard her friend's voice behind her.

"Ah, hey Maiya!~" he chirped, hugged her from behind, and lifted her up in the air.

"Hi, Haro... I was looking for you, idiot!" Mai yelled and kicked her feet, making the said man set her down and step back. She whirled around, crossed her arms, and tapped one of her feet.

"Sorry, I was...occupied with someone.~" Haro sang and lowered his face, having shadow cast over his yellow vampire diamond slits. His yellow slits gleamed through the shade, causing the girl to groan in annoyance.

"Who was it...?" she asked, only to have him whisper Morgus's name to her and tell her what he said to him. "WHAT?! YOU SAID THAT?! ARE YOU CRAZY, HE'LL MURDER YOU WHEN HE GETS OUT!" she yelled in worry and rage, not liking how he just provoked a very dangerous man. "YOU'RE SUCH A JERK, YOU EVEN PLAN ON MAKING A MOVE ON HER TOO?! DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW MUCH CRAP YOU'RE IN NOW?!" the girl asked from anger and clenched her fists.

"You don't understand, I love her-" Before he got to finish, she cut him off and gave a deadly glare that anyone would feel uncomfortable with.

"Would you kill her...?" that caught him off guard, he looked down at her and blinked in wonder. His expression grew serious and his eyes squinted at those words.

"What are you asking...?" his question had a dark tone to it, he didn't like where this was going.

"I'm saying...are you going to kill her...? Kisaki ordered us to kill her and Setsuen... Kill Koumetsu since she's a half breed...and her brother since he'll most likely expose our secret. She knows he'll find out about us and her, so she ordered us to get rid of him too..." Mai mumbled her explanation and averted her gaze down to the floor, still hating the thought of having to kill her idol...

Haro's face had nothing but shadow over it, his head tilted down, and silence filled both of their ears. "We've got no choice... She'll kill us if we refuse to do so..." Maiya added only to see him raise his head and smile evilly.

"Alright then... I want to be the one to kill her and her brother, you just sit back and wait...~ She will be with me...for all eternity...if I suck her blood dry," he grinned a toothy open smile, making her sigh.

"Fine...I don't want to do it... One- fighting is exhausting and I hate it...and two-.... I don't want to kill my idol..." Her mauve eyes were filled with sorrow at the thought of Kai's death. "Remember, she was in Hueco Mundo so don't hold back. Setsuen said so before she played her instrument," she added before peering up to the vampire.

"Don't worry, I doubt I would even have to hold back. She seems to be a strong one, the same goes for her brother. I've been around for over eight hundred years, so don't worry your little head.~" he mused darkly and walked past her, took out his zanpakuto then stood in the middle of the hall preparing to train.

She looked over at him, thoughts swarmed her mind, and one of them was...why in the world was he training in Ukitake's hall, to begin with? "Why are you training here anyway? Captain Kyouraku said you might be training here, so why's that?" she asked with a raise of a brow and her hands clamping on her hips.

"Because...my Captain banned me from training in her hall.~ She said that I was annoying her to no end and wanted me to get out of her hair. So, she kicked me out.~ I decided to go ask Captain Ukitake if I could train here since I was no longer allowed to do so in her hall. He accepted of course, so as long as I don't ruin the building.~" he cooed then thought about his Captain and her dark personality. "Oh how cruel she is to me, she wounds me to no extent!~" he toyed with one hand over his forehead and his head leaning back.

"You flirt to no extent..." Maiya mumbled with an annoyance n her face. It was true, the man didn't know when to stop flirting; there are times though when things get too serious, he'd drop his act and behave when he needs to.

"I don't recall if you told me or not, but do you know where my Gothic Goddess went?" he asked after a little time had passed and was in midst of swinging his blade.

Maiya who sat on the sidelines had her chin in both palms of her hands and her elbows rested on her knees. "I think she went to the world of the living, not sure... I'll have to ask-" before she got to finish, the said Vampire spoke up and interrupted her.

"Setsuen; he should know where she's at, he's her brother after all.~ Why don't you pay him a visit, he's in prison for treason," he spoke up with a smirk and looked in his peripherals, seeing her face light up a bright red.

"S- Sure... I- I guess that's appropriate since...you would kill him if you went back..." she replied and lowered her head, steam was sizzling up the top of her scalp. Even though he's wanting to kill us... I can't help but blush over him! Why must he be so handsome?! she mentally cried with an image of her own face appearing in her head and silly tears streaming down it.

"Good luck.~ You best hurry though, it's almost dark," he added and chuckled, then continued training with his sword swings.

"Fine..." With that, she stood to her full height and disappeared, leaving the said man alone.
