Chapter 14 : Deal.

\Harribel POV/

I was in the sewers on my way to the white tower, after my Master's Reiatsu increased, I felt that this was his signal, so I went to complete my objective.

At the beginning I did not trust Master, but he is strong and promised to make us stronger, so I had to grab this chance. But as I saw how caring and kind he was to us, it made me trust him, even if just a little. When he petted my head on Kūkaku's house I felt something hot on my chest, it made me want to have more of his headpats. When he grabbed me when I lost against that wolf man and retreated, my heart hurt. I was the reason that we retreated, I was the reason that we lost, so when we were in the sewers, he picked me up and said that I should sleep, I could not hold myself and said.

"It was my fault that we had to retreat." Just to immediately sleep as I felt his warm body.

And now I am extremely scared that he will throw me away because I failed. I cannot fail this time, this is my redemption, this time I have to regain his trust. And I would do anything to do so.

But that woman, what did he found cute on her? Master is strange in many ways. He can be kind and caring for us, but to the others he is merciless and brutal. He is weird... But I like it, he protects us.

Now I have to complete this mission. As I walked through the white tower, a group of 10 guards came looking for trouble.

"Hollow! Die." He said

As I did not wanted to difficult things for my Master, I only knocked them out by punching and kicking them.

After walking around and knocking out a few more guards, I finally found that woman. She wasn't pretty nor had the same assets as me, so why was she cute? Hmm, forget it.

"Hey, you picked the interest of my Master. Do you want to get out of this prison, have your powers returned to you and become even stronger?" I said while looking at her.

\Rukia POV/

The day I was 'kidnapped' by my brother and Renji, I had to fake that I did not cared about Ichigo. I betrayed his trust, I should not have done that, but it was necessary. I am a few days away from my execution, I already lost hope and accepted my fate. I hope he is not dumb enough to come rescue me.

I was looking at the opening that my cell has while thinking when suddenly, I saw a intense Reiatsu exploding on the 10th Division's barracks, this Reiatsu has the same feeling from that silver-haired Hollow that I saw when the Menos Grande was coming out. But what is he doing in here? Maybe he is here to save me? What am I thinking? As if a Hollow would save a Shinigami and as if I would go with a Hollow, they are just mindless monster that care for nothing but destruction and consume another souls.

After a few minutes looking at it, I saw a silver beam destroying everything in its way, until it stopped on the wall. This wasn't from any Captain, it was probably from the Hollow, see. Hollows are evil beings and they deserve to die. Then a few moments after that beam, the temperature started to drop, I could feel it, the temperature dropped and a ice dragon came... I miss my Sode no Shirayuki... I miss freezing things... I miss my powers.*Sigh* What wouldn't I do to regain my powers and freedom back. Hope that idiot is not coming here.

"Hey, you picked the interest of my Master. Do you want to get out of this prison, have your powers returned to you and become even stronger?" Looking up, I saw a woman with blonde hair and emerald eyes, but she is a Hollow.

"You are that Hollow! You were with the other silver-haired Hollow! What do you want here, Hollow?" I asked while frowning.

"Don't make me repeat myself. I don't even know what Master saw in you, a human. But he want me to make a deal with you." She said in a ice-cold voice.

"What deal?"

"He said that if you wanted to regain your freedom, powers and become stronger, you have to come with him, but the condition to that is that you have to forget the four humans that came here to save you." She said.

"Four humans?! Ichigo, Sado, Orihime and Uryu?! They came here?! That idiot! I said to him that he could not come here! Why?!" I was in despair.

"Shut up, human!" Was what the blond-haired Hollow said to me while releasing a bit of her Reiatsu, but as I was a human, she pressured me a lot.

"S-Sorry. But I have to forget them? Why?" I asked confused.

"I don't know either. Master is a mysterious being. But if you want to know I can bring you to him." She said offering something interesting.

"I want to know!" I said curious about why would that hollow offer me freedom when I already lost hope.

"Very well then." She said as she swinged her blade arm at the door of my cell, breaking it.

"Come with me, I will take you there." She while walking away.

"Okay." I said following after her.

\Harribel POV/

I were back at the hot springs, but this time I was with that woman, sensing Master, I got near where Master was and said.

"Master, my duty is fulfilled!"

"Good, you have done well... But what is she doing here?" Master asked me, lifting up from the hot water.

"Well. She wanted to talk to Master."

"What do you want from me? And why so you want me to forget about the other humans?" This woman said.

"Hmm, right to the point, huh? Okay, I want you to follow me like my subordinate. And do you truly want to know why I want you to forget them?" Master said sounding mysterious.

"Yes, I want to." She said.

"Okay then. You are probably nurturing feelings for him right?" I was surprised by what Master said.

"W-W-What?! As if I could nurtured feelings for t-t-that human!!" She said, but using my intuitions I could feel that she was lying.

"Okay... I believe you. But moving on, I know sufficiently to say that Ichigo will never be with you. He will always stay together with Orihime, he promised to her that he would protect her no matter what." Master said

"H-He always stay with that woman? Why? Am I not beautiful? It is because I don't have large breasts like that cow?!" She was starting to scream when Master said.

"He may find you that... But I don't." Just saying that made her quiet.

"What do you know?! You are just a Hollow, Hollows should die!!!" This bitch. I am going to kill her!

"Calm down Harribel! As Ichigo is not here she will lash out against anyone. It is to prevent her mind to overheat. Kuchiki Rukia, do you want to know why did I wanted you as my subordinate?!" Master said.

"Why?" She said, empty.

"Because I find you cute, charming, beautiful and sexy. You just have to believe that you are, and you will be." I was shocked when Master said that. He never said that I was sexy!

"Do you really thing of that? Do you really think that I am sexy? But I don't have the same breast size as that cow. How can I be sexy?" She said... Hmm, I see, she doesn't see herself as a woman. This is interesting.

"You don't need to have, every woman has their sexiness." Master truly knows a lot.

"What is mine?" She asked.

"I am not going to tell you. Just when I consider you loyal enough is when I'm going to tell you." Master said, mischievously.

"Wha-What?! How can you not tell me?!" She said as she got near him and started to punch him.

"What do you say? Do we have a deal?" Master asked.

"Fine!! We have! But you will tell me in what I am sexy!" She said.

"Okay, okay, I promise. Now why don't you get back to your cell." Master said, but I am confused.

"Why do you want to take me back to my cell?! Weren't you offering freedom?!" She is just confused as me.

"Yes, I offered. And I will give you. But only on the day that you are going to be executed. On that day I am going to rescue you. Btw how much until we reach that day? Master said

"Fine. Four days. Why?" She said.

"Hmm, nothing, I am just programing myself. Now go back, Harribel, escort her."

Master is scheming something.

"Ok, Master. Come with me." I said while calling for her.
