Hime: This be the first chapter of my, somewhat big project. I list Aizen and Orihime as the main characters, but this includes almost any and all Arrancar/Espada, just the two of them will no doubt be in each chapter. 3 This story will mainly express my opinions on Hueco Mundo and everyone in it, so if you don't like, well boo on you. D: They're also up for interpretation I suppose; I would put my explanations at the end of each chap, but you might not care. XD

The halls in Los Noches had an annoying habit of echoing even the smallest of sounds.

Grimmjow hated it. The glaring white walls, even surfaces, and the constant drone of silence were enough to drive a guy like him out of his skull. If he had it his way, it'd be dark, lit by the moon, and a little music never killed anyone, though most would find his taste in music a bit overbearing. It made him jittery to walk around the place on his own, which was inconvenient since most got too nervous if they were around him for very long.

Ichigo didn't like it any better, though he didn't scowl or walk briskly like Grimmjow would. A slight twitch perhaps, but other than that he was casual wherever he went.

Orihime enjoyed it. To her, it was like a blank piece of paper to be drawn on, and of course, if you didn't like it quiet, you had to fill it, so why not sing? Some of the Arrancar thought Aizen-sama had made it that way on purpose, as if to cause their very minds to go blank over time, but she saw it differently. There was so much room to dance around if you wanted, and as you walked you could paint mental pictures on the walls; she often thought up entire stories that her mind's eye would play out like a movie on the huge spaces. In a way it was like encouraging them to find creative things to do.

So, Grimmjow and Ichigo liked walking down the halls, but only if Orihime was with them.

There was nothing to fear about the place, not for them. What even Orihime didn't know about Aizen's true motive, was that it was only to serve as a reminder that they're still were not allowed to live in a colored world, but neither was he.
