We ran down the halls of Seireitei, getting as far as possible on the quickest route possible. I looked in front of us and slowed down as did Renji seeing Captain Tosen in front of us. "Captain Tosen, what's wrong?" Renji asked. "Please let me by, I'm in a hurry." Renji said.

"Something's wrong.." I thought, drawing my sword, stepping in front of Renji, facing Captain Tosen.

He let out a string of bandages that wrapped around the 4 of us. "What's going on?!" Renji asked looking around.

A bright light flashed and I covered my eyes, and I heard Renji coughing behind me. I felt the ground beneath my feet was different. My eyes quickly adjusted, and we were back on Sokyoku hill. "No way.." I muttered looking around, seeing no one was here.

"Welcome, Abarai-kun, Kuchiki-san." I took my eyes off of Captain Tosen and looked behind me seeing Captain Ichimaru and the undead Captain Aizen.

"What.. what's going on?" Renji asked quietly.

"Leave Kuchiki Rukia where she is and back away, both of you." Captain Aizen said smiling.

I heard footsteps and Captain Tosen moved from behind us to the side Captain Aizen and Ichimaru stood. "How odd, I was sure Im sure you heard me the first time. I said to leave Kuchiki Rukia where she is and back away." he repeated.

I suddenly felt a weird sensation in my head, "Connections complete." I heard the voice of Lieutenant Kotetsu Isane of Squad 4. "All court guards Squad Captains, Lieutenants, and seated officers, may I have your attention please, and also, the Ryoka. This is Squad 4 Lieutenant Kotetsu Isane, with an urgent message. Listen closely as the message will not be repeated. This is an emergency report from Captain Unohana regarding the traitors in our midst. As grim as the following facts are, what I'm about to tell you is the truth." She said and talked about how Captain Aizen faked his death, and was collaborating with Captains Tosen and Ichimaru, Captain Hitsugaya and Lieutenant Hinamori's hospitalization, and the murder of order 46, and how they were at Sokyoku Hill.

"This is quite a troublesome thing." I sighed looking at the 3 Captains.

"What is?" Captain Aizen asked.

"I don't know which one of you I want to kill more.." I mumbled glaring at the 3 Captains. "Hurting your Lieutenant, betraying your friends and Squads, using them and their loyalty.." I said gripping Kyln more tightly in my hand.

"I refuse to let you have her." Renji said standing up, in front of Rukia.

"Very well." Captain Aizen said. I saw Captain.. I saw Gin reach for his sword, when Aizen told him not to, and began walking towards us. "You are both stubborn." he said walking towards us. "Since you won't let her go and leave as I ordered, I have no choice." he said to us. "But, I'll take your feelings into consideration, and I will let you have your way." he said drawing his sword. "She can stay in your arms, the rest of you goes." he said to Renji. He swung his sword, and I pushed Renji back and brought up my sword to block his attack. I sighed being pushed back a little, with my black kimono sleeve being ripped from his sword.

I smiled, looking at Aizen, "That was slow old man." I smirked. I did my best to not look at my arm, knowing that I should have an injury based on the force of impact I felt, but I had none, not even a scratch.

"Taunting me won't help. I hope you won't struggle for too long. It's difficult for me to control my power." he said smiling and I hated it.I glanced behind me to Renji, he was breathing a bit hard. He is injured but had been running a lot and is currently under a stressful situation, this is going to be hard keeping them both safe.

"I'll be fine." Renji-san said noticing my gaze on him. "Not wanting to kill us, yeah right! What about HInamori? You killed her in cold blood!" Renji yelled.

Aizen just laughed, "What happened to her, couldn't be helped." he said. "I had trained her so that she couldn't live without me. So, don't you think that killing her was an act of mercy?" he asked us.

"Disgusting old creep." I thought.

"Still, what I said is true. I didn't want to kill her myself. Which is why I went through the trouble of forging the letter, leading her to attack Kira-kun and Hitsugaya-kun. But that didn't work out. So I had no choice but to finish it myself." he said.

"Howl, Zabimaru!" I jumped back as Renji attacked Aizen with his Zanpakuto in Shikai state.

"I see. Shikai. You're probably at your limits, but this won't buy you any time." he said easily blocking Renji's attack. Renji tried again, but Aizen stopped his attack with his bare hands, and then broke Renji's Zanpakuto, and I felt a rush of wind, and before I could do anything, Renji was cut by Aizen and Gin held his Zanpakuto by my throat. I frowned glaring back at him.

"Don't move. I'd hate to scar that pretty skin of yours." he said smiling at me.

I saw Aizen lift his sword, and I tried to break free of Gin, but he held me back with my clothes, and I struggled more, "Let me go!" I yelled and felt another breeze blow by.

"Hey." I heard and recognized it as Ichigo's voice. "The way you're crouching down, I'd almost think Rukia's too heavy for you to hold or something. Good thing I came to give you a hand. Right, Renji?" Ichigo asked Renji.

They both jumped away from Aizen, and I felt Gin's grip on my clothes weaken. I frowned and twirled my sword and tried to stab him from behind and he jumped back and I jumped forward joining Ichigo and Renji. "Sorry about that." Gin said to Aizen.

"No matter, it's fine. When you clean house, a few pieces of dirt make no difference." Aizen said.

"(Y/n), hang back and protect Rukia." Ichigo said to me and he looked at Renji and they both stepped in front of us. I looked at Ichigo's new clothes, and his thin black Zanpakuto.

"Is that his Bankai?" I thought, and Ichigo rushed forward to attack Aizen, however Aizen easily stopped him with a finger, and cut him down. In a flash, he cut down Renji next, and he appeared in front of me. I reacted late and he slapped me away and I tumbled a few feet away. "He's definitely fast.." I thought and got to my knees, coughing. He grabbed Rukia by the red collar she had on, and pulled her along with him, walking towards Ichigo.

He seemed to be telling Ichigo something, but I was too far to hear. "Aizen!!" I heard someone yell and something crashed in front of Aizen kicking up a load of dirt. I stabbed Kyln into the ground so I wouldn't be blown away and covered my eyes. The dust cleared and I saw it was Captain Komamura of Squad 7. Before I could even react, he was cut down by Aizen. I turned seeing Orihime and the others arrive, but were stopped by Aizen's intense reiatsu. Green plant like pillars shot out from the ground and Aizen's arm turned green and he stabbed his hand into Rukia, and pulled out a small round pale looking ball. "What the hell is that?" I thought. "Kill her Gin." Aizen ordered.

"Well, if I must." Gin said pulling out his Zanpakuto. "Shoot to kill, Shinso." Gin said and I got to my feet, and flash stepped to Aizen grabbing Rukia, and at the same time, I felt a warm pair of arms around my waist. I also felt something warm and wet touch my cheek. I opened my eyes seeing I, along with Rukia were wrapped in dad's arms. I turned to see he had stopped Gin's Zanpakuto with his own hand and body.

".. Dad.." I mumbled as GIn's Zanpakuto retracted itself. He let us both go and I stumbled a few steps away as he fell onto his knees. I looked at dad, on his knees, loaded, and weak. I bit my lip and heard footsteps. I turned seeing it was Aizen. "I'm going to kill you.." I growled, gripping Kyln tightly in my hand, my knuckles turning white. I was about to swing my arm, when something crashed between the two of us. I felt a hand grab mine, I looked back seeing dad was holding my hand. I sighed and turned seeing other Captains and ranked officers showing up to apprehend Aizen and the others.

Suddenly 3 golden beams of light came down from the sky, and we all looked up at the sky at the Menos Grande. In those beams were Aizen, Tosen and Gin. I looked at Gin for a while, knowing that before when he held me with a sword at my throat, he didn't let me help Renji when Aizen was about to cut him down, and in the next instant, Ichigo appeared. Then when Ichigo, Renji and Rukia had retreated to a farther distance his hold on me weakened and he gave me an opening to escape. "Why did he..." I thought watching them rise up, and the hole in the sky closed.

Members of Squad 4 rushed to heal everyone that they could. A few offered to treat me, but I denied it, saying I didn't need it. Orihime was healing Renji, other officers were healing dad, and Renji was being taken away on a gurney. I saw Captain Unohana arrive, and walk towards dad. I hurried over to her, and she noticed me. She walked away from dad and towards me. "Captain Unohana.. how's Captain HItsugaya?" I asked her.

"He's in no danger of dying." she said and I smiled nodding.

"Thank god.. and Lieutenant Hinamori?" I asked her.

"Her as well." she said and I nodded, relived.

"You may visit them tomorrow." she said and I nodded, bowing in thanks. She walked away and I looked at dad, seeing he was talking with Rukia. I looked at the setting run and my hand went to my cut sleeve, touching the skin underneath. "Tomorrow.. huh.." I sighed and walked over to dad. He saw me and I sat on his left since Rukia was on his right. ".. So do I call Rukia Aunty?" I asked smiling at my dad. He smiled and placed a hand over mine.

"Rukia, is fine." I looked at Rukia and she was looking at me.

"Then, Rukia it is." I smiled at her. "Nice to finally, properly meet you, I'm (Y/n)." I said to her and looked at dad and placed his hand back at his side. "Tomorrow I'm going to Squad 4 to visit my Captain, would you like me to visit you as well?" I asked as a few members of Squad 4 began transferring him onto a gurney.

"Whatever you want." he smiled and I smiled as he was taken away.
