(Ages later...)
A garganta split the space just next to the throned dais. The boxed edges curled back as the gaping hole widened and Jes stepped from it. Her face was stony, smooth features ruined by the crease in her forehead and the slight tension around her mouth.
Knowing the recently-appointed Primera, any such emotion was entirely uncharacteristic. She blamed her disquiet on her recent battle with the captain of Second Squad. Not that the battle hadn't been entirely one-sided. The arrogant, blind girl stood no chance against her powers, but it was what she had seen that had Jes ruffled.
She'd attacked the squad summarily under Aizen's orders, but he ought to realize she owed him very little allegiance. She'd followed his direction only because it had suited her to do so. She wanted a memory-- which she had found-- to confirm a troubling rumor she had been hearing whispered about Las Noches.
Namely that her sister was dead. And that Triox had murdered her.
Jes was conflicted. On the one hand, there was the greater, arrancar part of her who knew any such association with her shinigami sister would have ended that way. On the other, there was the part of her that was the captain's sister. Twisted as she was by several hollow spirits, it didn't change the affection she felt for the captain. Nor the remorse felt at her death.
But there were other ways to reunite the pair of them. Irial had promised that. True, her sister was dead. But her soul hadn't dissipated as the memory had revealed.
It was somewhere on Earth. And Jes would find it.
"This had better work, Iri," She spoke to the entity that inside her small, black blade. "You said you'd bring her back to me,"

When Jes stepped out after about a second or two a tall slim man walked out, standing a half a foot taller than her his tan skin causing his emerald irises to become luminescent in the light. On the mans back was a naginata standing as tall as it's wielder. The man was wearing as hood thats only purpose was to keep the sun out of his eyes. On top of his hood was a mask the top half of one to be exact, it looked to be the skull of a demon. The man had sandy blond hair that came down to the top of his shoulders. His uniform made it so almost no skin was showing, only his fingers because of the fingerless black gloves he wore.
Raijin didn't say a word looming behind her like her shadow. He simply followed her around not really speaking unless spoken to. That was his job and he was pleased to be in the presence of the Primera espada at all times. His gazed glanced down at her hearing the last part but only for a second before returning back up to the space in front of her. He wasn't one to listen in but in this case when she spoke about bringing someone back he couldn't help it, his natural curiosity just kicked in and cause him to look down at her.

Jes fell silent, lips pressed into a thin line of irritation as she glanced over her shoulder. As always, she found Raijin staring back at her, tall form picked out against the blue lighting of her Court. It wouldn't be the first time she'd forgotten he was there. He had a tendency of following her about wherever she went, silently obeying each command she gave.
Not that the fraccion didn't have his uses, but there were some things... She spoke only when she needed to, distributed information only when she deemed it prudent. So for him to pick up on anything private-- something that actually pertained to her and not Feiy-sama or Aizen's order-- didn't please her.
And he had been listening. She was sure of it. His silent demeanor didn't suggest stupidity or any dullness, but rather a silent watchfulness. He knew-- or perhaps assumed-- much more than he let on.
"We leave for the mortal world soon," She said in her usual, clipped style. The shadows around her seemed to writhe and slither, crawling up her arms and coiling around her.

"Oh, what're we gonna do there Nee-chan?" He asked. Raijin always thought of Jes a little sister who was insanely stronger than him. So he figured he might as well try and see if it would take. He hoped it would she could use someone to make her cheerful everyone once and a while. Even if they're job was to cause havok, then again that could be fun too right? His green eyes sparkled with excitement at the thought that he might be able to have a little sister character. It would be quite fun and make him enjoy being in her company even more.
Raijin was tilted over figuring she might punch him in the face so he was ready to accept the pain just incase she didn't like being called Nee-chan... or being talked to

"Soul hunting," Jes's eye twitched at Raijin's use of the pet name. She turned, working to keep her face impassive. She tapped the tip of her blackened dagger lazily against Raijin's chest. Her shadows crawled down her arms and onto the blade, seeming to test the Fraccion's skin. "But if you call me Nee-chan again, you'll find your head parting company with your shoulders,"
Raijin's chummy, elder-brother attitude sent Irial, the entity in Jes's dagger, into fits of mirth. His laughter bounced around her skull, making it all the more tempting to slip said dagger between Raijin's ribs.
Fracciones had their uses. To an extent.

"Ok ok, no Nee-chan. Though you should give it a chance every once and a while it may grow on you" He said watching her eye not really caring about the blade. Yes she could cut him easily but if she was threatening like she did just then his skin could hold up against it. "Soul hunting you say, perhaps... now stop me if I'm being to nosy, but we're going there to get her am I right?" He asked he did spoke looking at her. He had really hoped the Nee-chan would have stuck or she would have given him a name to call her by The Jes-sama seemed so unformal and just saying the name made Raijin feel like he was being pushed away from her, which was something he didn't really like.

"Don't," Jes's entire body stilled, pulled up short by Raijin's comment. Even the continuous, irritating insistence upon using a pet name didn't rankle her as much as this. "Don't ever-- You don't know what you're talking about,"
I am not one spirit, but many. She will not affect me so. Jes remained tensed, mastering the flair of emotions emanating from the half-shredded soul of the dead captain's sister. Ostensibly, Jes could make the excuse that she was only choosing a powerful soul, one that would make an acceptable weapon for Las Noches. It was an experiment and nothing more.
She also knew-- but would never admit-- that the urges of the little girl's soul were affecting her possibly clouding her judgment. Even if that were the case, it was not Raijin's business to know.

Raijin looked down at her seeing she was trouble, by what though still remained a mystery to him, "Very well, I am ready to go when you are... as always" He stated rising back up to his own normal height his gaze being casted back out at the court. "How strange her be so touchy of a subject. I suppose after simply being quiet and observing long enough I'll find out the big deal, maybe I'll actually be able to be a help to her. Though I doubt it, in all the times I've helped her I've never once gotten a smile, oh well I suppose it will just mean more when I do manage to get it." He thought standing awaiting for her to command him to do something.

After finding his way arround Ice walked out of the coridors and steped into the main champer to greet his master for the first time.As he arrived be bowed down before her knowing of her strenghts and powers.
"Master, Hielo Frion reporting for duty, I shall serve you in anyway possible."

"..." Jes turned to glance at the newcomer. He was kneeling, a mark of respect she rather enjoyed. This was what it should be like to be an espada. No, to be the Primera. She was second to no one but perhaps Feiy and Aizen. And even then, she only held a grudging respect for the former.
And to be caught up in such petty emotion as Raijin had unearthed was merely a fleeting weakness.
"Fine," Jes's dead, blood-red eyes swept over Hielo with a look of indifference. "You can come, too. We're collecting a new weapon for Las Noches. It so happens to be on Earth,"
Unsheathing her dagger, Jes slit the air just in front of her. The edges of spaced curled back on itself to reveal a passageway to the mortal world. Beyond the darkness of the garganta, a streetlight shown dimly in an alley. Without a word, Jes stepped into the tear, expecting her two subordinates to follow.
(Exiting to Earth ^^ There should be a thread set up in that forum for us by littlebick. I haven't seen her on, so I'll harass her and get back to you guys on the thread name. Then we can keep this little story going, k?)
edit: the thread in the Earth forum is called Bound [PRP]

Ice stood up, he was very happy to be accepted by Jes.He rushed to the Garganta, so that he won't keep his master waiting.It was his first ever assignment and he was feeling anxious and scared, he did not want to dissapoint his master on his first attempt but in the same time he respected her decision.
"Hai, Jes-sama."
Then entered the Garganta.
[Exeting to Earth]

Out of a Garganta Ice apperead in the dark court's main room, he then raised his hand creating a small table made out of ice, he could create ice but wasn't efective in combat because the one made by his bare hands was weak and took a great deal of concentration,he then place the butterfly on the table creating an clear ice orb surrounding it and freed it's wings,"Watch your back...", saing it with a tone of desgust then awaited for his master to reveal him her plans.

(lol... Rivalry, much? XD Anyway, I got attacked by a Bount as I was about to leave. He's no one I can't handle-- either of you could, too. Trust me on that. But I might have a little fun with him... twisted Unless one of you are interested.)
A small ribbon of shadow followed Ice through the garganta. It twined surreptitiously around Ice's left leg, coiling itself into a fold of clothing so as to remain undetected. It was a clear indication that Jes trusted no one and nothing. She would see what the shadow saw, hear what it heard. And she'd heard Ice's threat to the soul inside the orb.
Quashing feelings of protective rage, she reasoned that his threat actually lent her plan more credence. The soul, the weapon, would have to learn eventually that it didn't belong to itself. It was her property to be used in battle as she chose. Handing the soul over to her two Fraccion would only cement that fact. It would loyalty-- it would have to.
"I've run into a two-bit Bount who wants a bit of fun," Jes's voice seemed to come from thin air as she used the coiled shadow for communication purposes. "Amuse yourself as you will until I return,"
edit: or you could come right back XD That's fine, too ^^

As Ice returned back to Las Noches from te Garganta maded by his master Ice walked over to the Ice cristal he created earlier, he then pulled out his hand out of his pocket placing the iced butterfly from his palm back into the cristal orb.
He couldn't help but maditate to what happened earlier on earth, he started to shine and sand like particles of reiatsu fell of his body turning him back to his initial state.

Jes stalked out of the garganta a few moments after Ice. Her shoulders were hunched and tense, face brooding. The tip of her dagger glowed a cherry red, almost as if the metal had been superheated. With a small huff, Jes stopped, looking down at her dagger for the first time. A thin trail of steam rose from its sharp point.
Abruptly, she cracked a brittle smile. Her dagger reminded her of one of those silly mortal "westerns". She imitated a gunslinger as she blew the steam away and the blackened metal cooled to its original lusterless, black tone. Only then did she return it to its sheath at her back.
Watching Ice deposit the frozen butterfly in the orb, Jes couldn't help but notice his skill at crafting ice. He clearly deserved his namesake. Having him with her had expedited her little hunt significantly. She eyed the frozen butterfly. So fragile. She could crush it now in her bare hand, end this whole thing before it even began. She would be rid of Her soul forever. Even if I had her in my hand, I could never will myself to close my fingers... She harbored no illusions when it came to the control she had of her body. The sister's spirit was still a strong presence inside of her.
"Now," She broke the silence of the room. Her Court was converging, hollow and arrancar alike filing from the tunnels that pockmarked the rock of her domain. They could feel their mistress's sudden anxiety. "Let's mold ourselves a weapon, shall we? Hielo-- the butterfly, if you don't mind,"
She didn't trust herself to stretch out her hand. She knew it would be shaking, and that was not a weakness she wished to display.
