Prologue:

It was late at night on Seireitei but many shinigamis are doing rounds. Normally, the security won't be this tight but there was something going on. Some shinigamis who were doing rounds were currently napping that they didn't notice a strange gate opening. The gate was special as it doesn't radiate any presence. The only way to know that it was there was if you see it. A cloaked figure came out of the gate. The hood of the cloak covered most of the stranger's head. Under the hood, all you would see was a plain porcelain mask with two small holes for the stranger to see.

The cloaked figure didn't waste time though, not a second passed when he came out of the gate, the gate disappeared and so was the figure. He silently moved across Seireitei. No one noticed the figure as it moved through the shadows and towards a building in the center of the city. When he arrived close to his destination, he saw how tight the security was. And this time, the guards aren't just normal shinigamis but seated officers.

'I'll blow my cover at this rate.' He thought.

He silently moved to another part where he might be able to enter but unfortunately, the result was the same.

'Guess, I should have known, a captain was killed afterall.'

He suddenly felt two taichou level reiatsu being released and he quickly goes to where it originated.

'Ho, this looks interesting, two taichou fighting.' He thought while watching the fight silently. The cloaked figure left the scene and searched for a safe place to rest.

'Guess with that tight security the only option is to wait till tomorrow and rest for now.' He rested his body on a very big Sakura tree where his whole figure is concealed by the branches and flowers. He closed his eyes and drifted into sleep.

"Weee, I win!" the smaller boy exclaimed.

The older boy clenched his fists out of view of the smaller boy and forced a smile before saying.

"You really are good. Even though, I am older, I never beat you. Geez."

~/~/~/~

"Hey, A…." his speech was stopped by a hand by his mouth.

"Don't call me that. I told you didn't I? Once we enter the academy, you will not call me that."

"Ah, gomen gomen… but I have something important to tell you."

"What is it?"

"I'll be leaving the academy tomorrow to be transferred somewhere."

"Where?"

"I dunno, they said that I was special or something. So I might not be able to see you again. So, please just this once, let me?"

The other gritted his teeth and clenched his fist but released it quickly and said.

"Okay."

"Arigato, A…."

~/~/~/~

"So, this is the day. I better not screw up." He opened the door to the first division.

"So, it is time to evaluate if this shinigami is truly worthy of the position of fuku-taichou." The Sou-taichou said. "Please, show us and tell us what your shikai could do." He finished.

Everyone looked at the shinigami.

"Wow, you're kinda young, very impressive indeed."

"Ha! I think his eyesight has deteriorated from too much reading books. Look at his glasses."

Many of the shinigami on the room are chattering loudly that they didn't hear what he was saying until they stopped when they heard the word.

"….. kudakero" then he let his sword fall from his grasp and it shattered to many pieces.

~/~/~/~

"Congratulations on your placement on the 13 court squad." The young fuku-taichou said to the older recruit.

The recruit looked at the fuku-taichou and said.

"Well, I haven't seen you in a while. I should be the one congratulating you, fuku-taichou."

"Geez, A…." the fuku-taichou's mouth was stopped by the hand of the older recruit.

"What are you doing? I told you don't call me that. If you slip you do know that all what we did all these years will be wasted." The older hissed. He realized what he did and quickly withdrew his hand.

"Sumimasen, fuku-taichou."

The fuku-taichou just chuckled and then smiled. Then he nod and walked off.

~/~/~/~

"This meeting is for the welcoming of the newly appointed taichou." Yamamoto started.

"Doomo Arigatou Gozaimasou." The young taichou said.

Everyone celebrated. One of the fuku-taichou came to him.

"Congratulations."

"Ah, A… Oh yeah, Arigatou and congratulations also on your promotion to fuku-taichou." The taichou replied.

"Hai, but your still a step ahead of me."

"Sheesh, what are you saying just one more step and you're the same as me."

He didn't miss the hidden scowl on the face of the fuku-taichou.

~/~/~/~

The young taichou was walking along his squads barracks when he bumped into someone. The person he bumped was carrying stacks of papers and was now sprawled on the floor with the papers scattered everywhere. He looked down and saw that it was the girl he knew.

The girl looked up and when she saw the white haori, she instantly apologized and didn't even try to look at the face of the taichou she bumped into.

"Sumimasen. I was not looking where I am going." She said with her head bowed.

The taichou kneeled and raised her chin so she could see his face.

"Sumimasen, Ai…." She was cut by a kiss on the lips. "….taichou" was how she finished it.

"Now, now Sha-chan, don't be like that. You know you don't have to be so formal with me. Especially, when there are only the two of us around." The taichou said.

"But what if the others see us, they'll think that you're taking advantage because of your position or me doing this for favors." She replied.

"I'll just have to tell them off. Ah, I know, I'll announce to the whole Seireitei that you are my girlfriend. How's that Sha-chan?"

"Don't tell me you're serious?"

"Oh but I am, the next person I see here at the corridor will know." Just as he finished saying those words, a few shinigami seated officers are seen walking at the hallway.

"Ah, Hey…" he was cut off by a sharp elbow on the rib. He looked at his side and saw that it was the girl who elbowed him. The seated officers were walking towards them and bowed when they were in front of him.

"Did you know where my fuku-taichou is?" he lied. They answered 'no' and he dismissed them. When they were out of ear range, he said.

"Damn, you really hit hard, Sha-chan."

~/~/~/~

The young taichou was walking around Seireitei. He was looking around. To anyone who could see him, he was walking calmly but on the inside he was concentrating on his surroundings. It was like he was looking for something or maybe being conscious that someone might be following him. He stopped at a placed and a smirk etched upon his face.

"I found it, just as I thought." A snarl came upon his face.

"He should have known better than trying to hide it and fool me."

~/~/~/~

He was walking down a sandy place. The wind was getting stronger and stronger. It was night time already. He sensed someone approaching from his back but recognized the shinigami's reiatsu. He stopped and waited for the shinigami to catch up to him. When the shinigami caught up to him, the shinigami was also dressed in a white haori.

"So, have you confirmed it?" the other taichou asked.

"Not quite yet." He answered.

"What ya' mean?"

"I know where it is and I probably could take it out but…"

The other taichou listened.

"I think I need more time, it's too early to take such drastic steps. Afterall, our target is part of a noble family."

~/~/~/~

The girl named 'Sha-chan' was walking to the place, her boyfriend had asked her to go too.

She saw him standing in front of a tree.

"What are going to tell me so importantly, that you needed to say it in a very secluded place? You know, I have many things to do." She asked clearly irritated.

He turned towards her wearing a smile but she wasn't fooled she knew he was thinking something and it wasn't pleasant. She grew worried.

"Is something wrong?" she asked.

"Iie, nothing is wrong. I am just going to tell you something. Please listen." He said.

"Hai." She answered.

"You know that I really love you right, Sha-chan?" He asked.

She only nods.

"Sha-chan, I cannot lie to you but I don't want to drag you to what may happen."

"What do you mean?"

"I have something that I must do and it might endanger the person closest to me. I don't want you to be caught on what may happen."

"What are…" she was stopped by a kiss on the lips. When he pulled away from her, he said.

"Sha-chan, I think it's, better that you stay out or stay away from me, from now on. Believe me; this will be for the better of both of us."

"But you just said that…" He cut her off by pressing a finger on her lips and he said.

"I'm sorry, but this is for the best. I love you so much; I don't know what I will do if they try to use you against me. I don't know if you're thinking that this is a break up but until everything is finished, please stay away from me. Ja ne, Sha-chan." After he said those words, he disappeared.

Unohana Retsu wasn't a person who normally let's anybody see distress but from what she had just discovered, she was having a hard time staying calm. Just a moment ago, Sosuke Aizen, a supposedly dead taichou was standing in front of her and telling her how he was able to fool the whole soul society. He being alive and not dead didn't surprise her, but he being able to fool them for so long and betraying soul society together with Kaname Tousen and Gin Ichimaru was something she didn't expect. Not by a long shot, especially, Tousen.

She was about to start healing Hinamori-fukutaichou from the injury she got from Aizen, when someone suddenly appeared in front of her. She looked up and her calm demeanor broke. She opened her eyes wide. She was about to say something but the figure just wave a hand signaling for her to not say anything. The figure checked on Hinamori-fuku-taichou and took out a small bottle filled with green liquid. The figure handed it to her.

She knew what the bottled liquid is. She looked at the figure and muttered a silent thank you. With this liquid she could possibly reproduce many medicines and heal those who are hurt quickly. The figure only nods and they both heard her fuku-taichou said.

"Sokyoku hill."

The figure suddenly disappeared even before the fuku-taichou could see.

"Please inform what we had discovered to everybody here in Seireitei, including the Ryokas." Unohana said to her fuku-taichou.

~/~/~/~

Renji Abarai couldn't believe it. First, he saw Aizen-taichou alive then he asks him to leave Kuchiki Rukia and now, Kotetsu-fuku-taicho was announcing that Aizen-taichou was a traitor and he killed the whole central 46 so he could manipulate everything. And he has Ichimaru-taichou and Tousen-taichou with him as well. Aizen and Renji exchanged some words and Aizen starts to come closer to Renji unsheathing his sword.

"Then leave your arms here." Aizen said as he slashed through Renji's arm but Renji was able to dodge but his arms got injured badly.

They exchanged words again and Renji Jumps up.

"Roar, Zabimaru." He said as he attacked Aizen from above. As his zanpakuto was about to hit, Aizen just raised his sword and blocked Renji's attack like it was nothing. He was about to attack again but Aizen caught his zanpakuto with his bare hands and then destroyed it using Kyoka Suigetsu.

As Aizen was about to kill him, Ichigo appeared out of nowhere in his bankai form and blocked Aizen's sword. Renji and Ichigo exchanged a few word and started to get into a fight with each other until Rukia punches Renji for nearly suffocating her. After a few more words, they decided to fight and immobilize the three taichou before trying to escape.

Renji raised his broken Zabimaru and screamed.

"Higa Zekkou!" and then he slammed it on the ground. The broken pieces of Zabimaru float into air with reiatsus. It surrounded Aizen and attacked him. At this split second opening, Ichigo charged forward intending on injuring Aizen.

As he attacks, he was surprised as the dust cleared that Aizen was stopping Zangetsu with his index finger and then he was slashed across the waist. As he was falling to the ground Aizen suddenly disappeared and then appeared behind Renji, the latter suddenly felt himself got slashed at the shoulder and also fall down.

Aizen walked to Rukia and held her by the collar forcing her to stand up. He noticed that Ichigo was still alive and he started telling him of how he manipulated everything and how Kisuke Urahara devised some things to hide the hougyoku. Suddenly, Komamura-taichou appeared and attacked Aizen with his sword.

Aizen just blocked it with his hand. Komamura and Aizen chattered for a while and then he goes Bankai. But before he could execute any attack, he was surprised that Aizen was in front of him and used a level ninety hadou on him named, Kurohitsugi. A box made of dark spiritual energy enclosed Komamura and pierces him like several swords. Aizen was surprised though, because Komamura-taichou's injuries were light. Although, Komamura fall to the ground and became unconscious, his injuries were really light unlike what he expected.

Suddenly, Aizen was forced to dodge by shunpoing to the left as fast as possible because a sword was about to slash him into two vertically starting from his head. He didn't see anything but a blur of black and by the time he was able to shunpo out the blur also disappeared. The blur suddenly reappeared at his left side doing a side swing of his sword intending to cut Aizen into two. Aizen shunpo'ed out again but this time he was still caught in the arm and he was cut similar to how he cut Renji at the beginning of their fight.

His normal calm appearance turned into a frown as he was able to see who the attacker was. He would've not known from where this soul came from if he hadn't seen the symbol on his cloak.

"Now, this is surprising. How come a Royal Guard is here?"
