The trio walked until they made the door of the throne room. Ulquiorra slowly pushing it open to find lord Aizen walking across the floor to another room.
Turning Aizen saw Ulquiorra enter the room, Kita and Zeshin in tow. He smirked, "he still lives." Aizen said at a whisper looking to Zeshin. "Ulquiorra."
Ulquiorra took a step away from his fraccion and Zeshin. "My lord."
"Is there something that needs my attention?" Aizen stepped toward the group.
"Indeed. I do not bring strife to your court, but there is a matter I need your jurisdiction on." He cast a glance back at Kita and Zeshin. The boy had taken the liberty to step closer to Kita and it disgusted Ulquiorra. "Your newest addition, Zeshin, has informed me that I am to relinquish Kita for his own training. Is this the truth?"
"Yes," Aizen said flatly. "It would seem he sees her as a familiar and feels more comfortable with her than any of the others." Aizen turned to Zeshin, "he will return her to your side as soon as he has learned his way around Las Noches." Looking back to Ulquiorra he asked him, "is there an issue with this?"
"Yes, there is. I am not one to coddle the weak and help them adjust. If familiarity is what Zeshin needs, then he should become familiar with loneliness. You have not built an army of weak espada, but rather a set of self sufficient numerous worthy of serving you." Ulquiorra took a risky step forward, his mind sure but his body fighting him to regain sense. "Lord Aizen, if you give Kita to Zeshin, you will not see me until he is dealt with." With that, Ulquiorra turned on his heel and let the spacious throne room swallow up his foot steps. All that remained of his presence was an echo.
Kita turned after Ulquiorra panic in her voice as she called to him. "Master!"
"Stay where you are!"
"Kita." Aizen called to her.
Kita kept walking when Zeshin told her to stay where she was and she was more than half way out the door when Aizen called to her. She froze in her tracks her hand resting to the door. Her head lowered slowly. "Lord Aizen? Why?"
"You are not in a position to ask questions. Only follow orders. Is that understood?" Aizen walked over to her his fingers sliding under her chin lifting her head to look at him. "Zeshin is your new master until further notice. You obey him as you would Ulquiorra. If you cause him issues you will answer to me."
Kita pulled from Aizen's touch looking across the room. "As you wish, Lord Aizen."
Zeshin grabbed Kita by the hand and pulled her through the door with a smile, "Come on then, let's get started!!"
Aizen just shook his head as they exited the room.
