They ventured down the streets of Seiretei again after the group visited the 4th squad. Yuki received a pocket sized first aid kit from Unohana as a welcome gift and has earned herself another older sister in the form of Isane.

"Master Rukia, what does the captain of the 5th squad like?" Yuki asked Rukia

"Well, he is a good man. He is very caring and compassionate about others. You will like him." Rukia answered

Yuki just nodded but she can't shake the feeling that the person they are going to see is not to be trusted. She felt it before when she is at the Captain's Meeting. He may be quiet, but something seems off about him. She didn't really paid attention to the meeting anyway.

"Yuki, you okay? You spaced out." Renji asked

"Huh? Ah, yes I'm okay. Just thinking about something." She assured with a smile

"Well if something is bothering you, just tell us." Renji said then winked

Yuki laughed and thanked him.

"By the way, that was good fighting earlier today." Rukia commented

"Oh that. Thank you, Master Rukia. I am unworthy of your praise." Yuki said bowing again

"What are you talking about? You are worthy. You're really good." Renji's said with a smile

"Where did you learn that?" Rukia asked

"An old friend of mine taught me how to fight. Then one day, I was able to kill a Hollow and it dropped Muracho. After that, I discovered Muracho is a weapon and my zanpakuto so he taught me how to use her." Yuki explained

"The techniques I use, I discovered them on my own." She added

"Who is that friend? Is he a cat human too?" Renji asked

"Nope. He's a shinigami. But that was a very long time ago." Yuki answered

"A shinigami, huh? What's his name?" Rukia asked

"His name is-"

"Renji-kun, Rukia-chan!" Yuki was interrupted by a girl's voice that called on them from behind

The group turned around to be greeted by a girl with her hair up in a tight bun running towards them. Said girl is Momo Hinamori, squad 5's lieutenant.

"Good morning. Where are you guys going?" Momo asked when she caught up with them

"Ah, we are bringing Yuki chan to see your squad and for her to meet Captain Aizen." Rukia said

Yuki's eyes widened.

"Aizen!"

"Could he be?" Yuki mumbled that only she can hear

"Well you don't need to take her there." A male's voice said behind them

"Captain!" Momo greeted happily

The other two already looked back and greeted but Yuki still hasn't. She has a very bad feeling about that voice.

'Yuki, run!'

'No, I won't!'

'Just do it!'

"Hello, little girl. You must be Yuki Sakura." The voice said then she slowly looked back

She was surprised but she didn't let it be seen. Her hint was right. The person she saw that night was standing right in front of her wearing that same smile he wore that day. The day she last saw her old friends. Sosuke Aizen.

"Hello. It's nice to meet you Captain Sosuke Aizen and Lieutenant Momo Hinamori. I'm sorry I didn't greet you earlier." Yuki said in her usual cheery voice. She can't let anyone know she's terrified

"So it is true. You can tell our names by merely looking at our eyes. An interesting ability. Oh, and nice to meet you, too." Aizen said with a smile

"Eh? You can do that?" Momo said gawking at her

"Yes I can. By the way, Muracho said that Tobiume is really pretty." Yuki said to Momo

"Wow. You can also tell the names of our zanpakutos." Aizen said amused while Momo stood there with her mouth open

Yuki just gave him a forced smile as bits of that night came rushing back to her memory.

'Let go!'

'Stop it!'

'You we're all wonderful test subjects.'

Yuki can't help but feel uneasy around him. But what is this face he is showing now? A voice rang in her head and she knew it was Muracho giving her information on what she got from Kyoka Suigetsu.

"Yuki, did you hear me?" Aizen said that took her out of her thoughts

"Yes?" Yuki answered

"Are you sure nothing's wrong? You spaced out again." Renji said touching her shoulder

"I'm alright. What were you saying again, Captain Aizen?" Yuki asked

"I said can you guess the name of my zanpakuto?" Aizen asked

"Oh, yes. His name is Kyoka Suigetsu." She answered with a half smile.

Aizen gave her a smirk and approached her. He patted her head and smiled at her.

"You have such wonderful abilities. I hope you choose to be in my squad and we can both make your abilities stronger." Aizen said but Yuki can see the meaning in his words.

"You won't win." Yuki suddenly blurted out

"Huh?" Aizen said taken aback

"What you plan to do. It won't succeed. You'll just put a lot of innocent lives at stake." Yuki said in all seriousness and turned to Rukia and Renji

"Master Rukia, our destination after this Master Byakuya Kuchiki's squad, am I correct?" Yuki asked

"Ah, yes. Why?" Rukia asked

"Can we commence our visit tomorrow? I'm not feeling very well. Excuse me." Yuki said then flash stepped away from them

Rukia and Renji was left there confused on why Yuki left.

"Why did she leave all of a sudden?" Momo asked

"We don't know either. She wasn't like that when we visit the previous squads." Rukia said then faced Aizen

"Sorry about that, Captain Aizen. Maybe she really does fell unwell." Rukia said

"It's okay. Maybe battling the Hollows earlier took a toll on her. I understand. Now excuse me for a while, I still have to go to Captain Gin to talk about something." Aizen said then left with a smirk

'She knows, huh?' He thought to himself

Aftrr that, Rukia just asked Renji and Momo to spend the day together.

Meanwhile, Yuki returned to the squad 1 barracks and quickly rushed to the Head Captain's office. She entered and saw him drinking tea while looking outside. Head Captain Yamamoto looked back at the door when he heard it open.

"Child, why are you back so early? Did you finished your rounds?" Head Captain asked

"No. Just don't feel like continuing. I'll be in my room." Yuki said then went inside her room

Head Captain Yamamoto knew something is bothering her and wanted to be alone. He just let her be and stayed at the window.

Inside, Yuki has tears flowing down her eyes the moment she sat on the floor. She brought her knees to her chest and cried her eyes out.

"Shinji......" She mumbled as she cried
