The neutral grays whites and blacks, of the hallway muted everything around, except the flow of pink hair and bring hot pink, thigh high vinyl spiked boots and the drying crimson red blood on this persons hands. In the drastic contrast of colors you would barely be able to notice a tall man walking in front of her and to her left. Tova the Cuarto Espada, the master of this flamboyant woman was leading her to the castle she would call home. It wasn’t that much earlier that M was in the world of the living killing yet another one of her victims. The ecstasy that she felt from the kill had now far faded and new feelings of a different need had replaced the impulses to kill, in this Arrancar. Yes not only a few hours ago she was known by many as a free willed woman with the pension of brutal killing and deception. Then with being subjugated to another, why was her step light? Why was the woman following the powerful Espada with no fight? The story, all though recent, would take a long time to explain so an abridgment would be in order.
Muifong Lee entered the great hall where the 6 strongest Arrancar met with their master Sougetsu, but she wouldn't be meeting with him today, but with Tova Diablo. She was assigned to be his Fraccion to learn from him and most likely be put on a chain. M didn’t much care for this and was positive that she would be able to lay the path of lies down before this man and trap him in the web of deception. Eventually she would drink his power dry. Unknown to M, as she is commonly called, Tova also shared the same aspect of death as she did. Deception. Her intelligence, her skills at manipulation, and prowess of weaving lies would be seen for what they were... They were nothing more than childish insults in the Cuarto’s eyes.
A great battle started from that moment on, this battle was not one done with swords or spells, but a dangerous one none the less; it was a battle of words. Tova used his logic and foresight to see every move M threw at him, but M kept her ficade up, telling him that she would comply with his laws and orders. She even went so far as to be honest, though twisting the meaning of it to fit her ideals. Gently Tova chose to be honest with M as well. Sharing the cycle of life and rebirth to M and then asking her the simple question, “Do you want to find out what you are living for is nothing but a Hollow and meaningless lie?†M’s foundation quaked and crumbled as she realized that she had won yet at the same time lost the greatest match she had ever played. She had lied to herself and now she knew that the killing, the manipulation, the lies, were nothing but things that held her back from becoming better than what she was. No, it was preventing her from becoming truly happy.
So great was the earthquake inside her soul; she was lost, her whole self fractured and split. One voice cheering her on in deciding to take a better path, another voice telling her that what Tova spoke of was the real lie. M had no more face, no more definable features to call her own, but Tova held her in a gentle embrace and promised to be her savior. He would be the one to teach her the path that would bring her happiness. Tova promised M that he would be the one to show her how to truly clean the blood from her red dyed hands. The word "happy" was foreign to M almost untouchable, but now it looked closer to her as if she could almost touch it.
Soon M found out how fleeting happiness was. The left as soon as Tova stopped the embrace, and the voices returned. This time screaming at the top of their lungs. M was on the cusp of her decision and both pulled at her conscious, wanting to pull her in their direction. M had promised Tova that she would try to live a better life and follow him; she would not betray his trust. The voice prodding her to return the killing and dishonesty lost, but left her head with one last sentence. “I will be watching you closely and when you are at your most vulnerable point, when you have seen that the path you have walked is wrong, I will be there to take you back…. And next time I won’t go so easily.â€
Without even considering the consequences of her explosion to be a good thing, she profusely apologized to Tova. She had not meant to get violent or asking Tova to make Kyo leave. Tova laughed and let her know that she was still on the right path to becoming happy. The feeling he wanted was right there in front of her, now within her grasp. M let herself go and smiled genuinely for the first time in her known existence.
Following Tova out of the room, M was made aware that she would be living with him in his castle here in Los Noches. Surprising as it was to M, she didn’t mind the thought of living with Tova and Kyo at all; for the first time she wondered if she could make a real friend. Maybe she could become wonderful sisters with this other Fraccion named Kyo. The spring in her step, even though highly suggestive and playful, was back. The air of contentedness rested over Muifong. The reborn Arrancar would follow the Espada to her new place of residence.

â€Tova which Castle is yours? I haven't spent enough time here to notice and I really didn't care to know when I had come in the past." M broke the silent contemplation she was having in the third person. Something about her inner thoughts had changed. Strangely she didn’t feel like Muifong Lee anymore, even though these feelings were good and wouldn’t trade that away, she still felt a little off. Maybe by living together M would be able to pinpoint what was wrong, or right, with her inner thoughts. This was after all new unexplored territory she walked in.
M was also curious as to what type of training or missions she and Kyo would be participating in. She had specialized in manipulation up until now so M knew that her physical prowess wasn’t the strongest. One thing she was good at was the natural powers that came with being an Arrancar. Yes she was good enough at using her Bala and Cero to make up for her lack of physical strength. M would have to show him everything she had in order to fully be able to be trained by him. If Tova was able to show her the right path, then M would follow him wherever he went. M needed to get stronger so she could be Tova’s shield, and his sword. â€Also one more thing Tova. In this training, I think it may be wise to help me get stronger, I am not proficient with my Zanpakutou, let alone any type of physical fighting. I can just show you what I can do when the time comes, that way you can decide what to do with me.†M hoped that this didn’t come across as an order. She was still figuring out how to speak with people instead of manipulating them. Hopefully Tova could teach her a little bit about basic conversation as well, maybe how to be honestly polite or how to use tact. Things she knew nothing of.
