With my life I am not allowed to associate too closely with people other than my brother and the other traitors within the Gotei 13. They walk through the streets of the world they're planning to destroy. I am a 3rd seat in squad 5 and therefore have to live with my sadist of a brother. My name is Hikari (light) Aizen, but my dark blue hair, black eyes and unsocial personality don't suite.
Silently I walk through the halls of soul society. Feeling the cold midnight breeze, thinking about the plans of the traitors. They want to use the Hogyoku inside of Rukia's body, but then again that Ryoka boy that is causing trouble wants to save her... if only I could help them, and then I could be free. If the humans succeed then my brothers plans will be destroyed (he he), I am always being watched so I can't help.
"Hey Hikari-san!" an annoyingly familiar voice calls from nearby. I turn to look down the path I am headed to see Momo, fukutaichou of my squad, as well as some other people headed my way.
"hello Hinamori fukutaichou, Izuru fukutaichou, Matsumoto fukutaichou, and Abarai fukutaichou." I bow politely to each in greeting. Turning to leave a small hand grabs my arm.
"Hikari-san we're going for a drink, all of the work with the Ryoka running around is tough, so I want you to join us... 'Cause you never join in on anything that we do." She insisted but I couldn't. No matter how much I could want to do something my brother would always find a way to stop me.
"You guys have fun. I still have some work to finish back at the squad. Wouldn't want the captain to have to so my work for me, would I?" that seemed to have backed her in to the corner. Momo would never want anything to be forced onto her captain, least of all other people's work. Sighing she seemed that I would get away without any problems when a voice came slithering out of the darkness.
"Well, well, isn't that little Hikari-Chan?" I turn to face the fox faced captain.
"Hello Ichimaru Taichou." Grudgingly I bow deeply with respect that he doesn't deserve and ignoring Momo who still holds onto my arm.
"Come on Hikari-Chan I'll walk you back to your squad." He smiled almost nicely to the other fukutaichous and we walked away from the group.
Momo lets go of my arm while I follow the demon of a captain directly into the pits of hell. Back in my room of the squad Nii-san enters as well having heard all about my conversation with Momo.
"How many times do I have to tell you that you aren't allowed to talk to other people? In your world there is only Gin, Kaname, and myself so why do you fight like this. It'll only end badly for you... it always does." Tying my hands behind by back he began beating me with a wooden practice sword. Occasionally I was able to avoid the attacks, but not often.
This, the most recent, beating had been particularly bad and it left me unable to move for several days. During that time Renji lost to the Ryoka and so did Kenpachi Taichou, while there was a couple of Ryoka captured there also seemed to me that they are the weaker ones. Having a hard time with moving I am still forced by my brother to complete all of my work.
The wounds and bruises that people can see don't look that bad and could be ignored as a training wound, but the ones on my shoulders, stomach, and legs are much worse and very painful.
Slowly I move through the days up to where my brother fakes his own death. There is nothing in that to surprise me. I follow the sounds of Momos shattering screams to find nothing hanging on the wall except for my brothers' zanpakuto. Hysterical at what she believes to be the sight of Aizen dead she tries to find someone to place the blame onto.
Carefully I approach the girl weary that she is in shock, but when my hand touches her shoulder she freaks. My never changing expression too much for her to handle she shrieks.
"It was you! You killed him! You did didn't you!" she yelled unable to suppress any of her feelings.
Drawing her sword she lunged at me clumsily. Unable to really aim at me through teary eyes she is of little threat so I simply side step all of her attacks while trying to calm her down. None of it works even the slightest.
"Momo calm down and think things through. You need to relax. It's a big shock and you can't be thinking things through properly." She listens to nothing that I say again charging to strike a fatal blow and missing widely, but does scratch me on the hand.
"Well, would ya look at that?" Gin says coyly. At the sudden appearance of the grinning captain Momo decided that he would be a more likely candidate for the killer of her beloved captain and began attacking him and ignoring me. I arranged to have the captain taken off the wall while Izuru and Matsumoto arrive to help calm the situation. Finally the problem is solved by having Momo and Izuru placed in prison.
Begrudgingly I return to my squad since my wound stopped bleeding even without Unohana looking at it. Arranging the squad quickly I keep things running for a little while until I got the report from the hell butterfly declaring that tomorrow at noon the execution of Rukia Kuchiki will take place on Sokyoku hill. There will be no further changes to the date of the execution.
Shocked and disappointed that my brothers plan is working I go for a walk. The woods on the edges of soul society are nice, but I never expected to find Renji moving around through them. Shocked and interested I follow where he's going with all of the stealth that I can manage.
Not too far from where I had noticed him I watch as he descends into a hidden room underground. From what I can see its used for training. When Renji is gone and I check that he has already climbed down all of the stairs I follow. Skilfully I go unnoticed.
Hiding behind a nearby rock I watch as Renji talks to the others. He explains about Rukias execution... then that must mean that this boy is the Ryoka... maybe I can use him to help me.
Stepping out of the shadows I walk to the small group of people gathered around the human boy.
"So you're going to take on soul society all by yourself human boy?" I ask challenging his resolve.
"Yes I am. I won't let Rukia die out there because of me... she is my friend and I won't lose her for something this petty!" he yelled annoyed.
"But everything is so much bigger than you thought. I won't go into detail, but there is someone who wants to steal an object that has been implanted into Rukias soul therefore they need to remove the soul around the object. If they get what they want the whole world could be in danger. Do you understand." Renji steps forward putting a hand roughly on my shoulder. A whimper escaped my lips from the pain as I recoil from his grasp.
"What the hell?" he asks as Yoruichi steps forwards and slides back my shirt. The ugly bruise is obvious against my pale skin. "What happened to you?" he yelled at the sight shrugging the hands away from my shoulder I look Ichigo in the eye and ask.
"What did Rukia do for you to earn her trust?"
There was a short silence before he explained. "She helped save my family... and these people want to kill her for it! I won't allow that. I will repay my debt."
"Family isn't enough of a motive in my books. It's not like they chose to live with you, if you were a stranger would they look after you anyway. What is family worth?"
Ichigo glared at me darkly, but I didn't flinch. "What would you know? You probably don't even have a family."
Snapping I yelled "what would YOU know?" in a fraction of a second I was gone walking back to my squad.
Fuming I muttered profanities under my breath annoyed by both my lack of composure and the lack of caring from the others. Damn them... what would they know about my family when nobody here even knows my full name. They aren't allowed to know anything and I am not allowed to tell them.
Suddenly a hand grabbed me from behind and dealing my head a heavy blow I pass out.
