Chapter One
Stand In The Rain
She Never Slows down,
She doesn't know why
But She knows that
When she's all alone
Feels like it's all coming down
There I stood, waiting to stand before the great Captain Commander with my head bowed. It hadn't been a day since I have been released from the care of Squad four's care. On both sides of me stood the captains of the thirteen court guard but only eight stood while the grand captain would sit in front looking down at me. The tension in the air was thick with mixed feelings. Just about every glaze on me was that of hatred and disgust. I dared to look around just for a brief moment to see their faces. Sui-Feng was the farthest to my right and the first I laid eyes one. I say nothing but disgust in the woman's eyes, She looked down at me as if she was better then I was. At this point I would feel as through she was right. In some eyes I was nothing short of a traitor. I look to the side of her to see yet another look of disgust belonging to Byaukua himself. The man that was of noble birth and was very strict. However the case he didn't look at me. Perhaps he didn't think I wasn't even worth a passing glance. Then there was that off Komamaru who looked down at me with pity. I was surprised to see that he was ok and despite what all that was happening I was grateful to see that he was well. Toshiro looked off to the side, when I glanced at him, but it was clear he wasn't happy to see me. From what I could see he hadn't slept in days, the dark circles under his eyes showed it more then anything. Lastly and closest to my right was that of that of Mayuri, the sight of the man sent chills down my spine. He was a strange man with his grand knowledge but he didn't seem to be looking at me. He seemed to have his mind else where. I looked to my left to see the caring and worried glaze of Unohanna, the woman was one of the few dear friends I had and it was clear she was worried about my fate as was I. She personally toke care of my wounds when I was in need of care. Beside her stood Kenpachi, such a threatening looking man, how I hope to never run into him alone. It was strange through, he didn't look down at me with hate like the others did but he didn't look down at me with concern. He just stared down at me with no emotion what so ever. There beside him stood that of Shunsui, one of two friends I made in while in the academy, stared at me. His face showed no emotion but his eyes told it all. He was worried about me. He was afraid and seeing this made me want to cry. Everything in me wanted to break down and sob but I couldn't. I had to be strong. I brought my eyes to the last man, who stood the closest to my left, perhaps the best friend I ever had, Jushiro, through I would never call him that. I would always call him Captain Ukitake out of respect. He stared into my icy blue eyes and I stared into his eyes. I know he was worried and scared gave him a fake smile in hopes to make the pain go away but that seem to make things all the worse. The sound of doors opening caused all heads to turn towards the figure walking. It was the grand captain making his way to his seat. Why was I here? Why was I so afraid? To tell you this I must tell you who I am. I am Melody Nakamaru, of Squad Five. I am the third seated member of the squad. I am also the woman, who loves the traitor known as Sosuke Aizen,
She won't turn around
The Shadows are long
And she fears
If she cries that first tear
The tears will not stop raining down
The Grand Captain sat there looking down at me. His glance was stern and unfeeling. He spoke but it wasn't directed towards me, but the captains "We are here to deice what to do with this woman? It is clear that she hasn't committed a crime against the court guards but with the traitor Aizen, we can not have those close to him near us."
Those words did cut and hurt me but I began to wonder why was I the one on trail here? Did everyone really believe I would betray the court guards for Aizen? Did they not know I was one of the people he attacked? The first voice to speak was that of Sui- Feng. Her voice was cold as it always was but with disgust as well" She shouldn't be allowed to breath much alone be among us"
At the sound of her words I kept my head bowed. I didn't think no one would speak on my behalf, that was until I heard Ukitake's voice. He spoke "Melody isn't the traitor here, Aizen is. She has proven herself time and time again that she is loyal to the court guard, she risked her life to save Lieutenant Hinamori."
Then it was Byakuya's turn to speak" That doesn't hid the fact she went in search of Aizen" It was true I did go in search of Aizen but I had to know if it was true. I needed to see if Aizen's betrayal for my own eyes and I did.

So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day, what's lost can be found
You stand in the rain
" It can't be true, It's not true!" I had kept thinking over and over as I paced back and forth. I couldn't believe. I wouldn't believe it. The sounds of my wooden sandals clacking against the wood panels of the floor seem to echo through my ears. I ran fast as I could. I had to find Aizen. I had to see for myself if he truly was a traitor. Lost in my thoughts I didn't notice that of Lieutenant Hinamori and nearly ran over the woman. She stared up at me as I stubble backwards trying to catch my composure. I looked the woman over and gave a small apology" Forgive me Lieutenant Hinamori, I didn't see you there"
She didn't seem to hear me. Her eyes looked as she was lost and glazed over. I looked off to the side knowing that she was just as close to Aizen as I was. " You… You're where looking for Toshiro. Weren't you?"
My voice was soft. She looked up at me and nodded. I had whisper before looking at her" Then let's find him"
In truth I knew of what she did. I knew she attacked him foolishly but she was in pain something I knew all to well. I just couldn't leave her to face Toshiro alone. I doubt that he was the one to harm Aizen but I knew that Momo need to face him. It wasn't long before I stood looking outside of Central 46 Compound. It was strange. Everything was quiet. I stood there for a moment wondering how could this be. Coming out of thoughts I looked to see Momo walking away from my eyesight, not wanting to be left behind I followed after her ignoring the chill running down my spine. It wasn't long before I caught up with Momo but she was just standing in place. I looked past her only to cover my mouth. All around the room was the dead bodies of the Central 46. I couldn't believe it. I heard Momo's voice as she asked" What happen here? Everyone in Central 46 is dead?"
It was clear. She was in a state of shock but even more so was I. How could this have happen? Who could have done this? I looked down at Momo as she began to question. Saying things it was Toshiro that had killed Aizen and that it was possible that he did this to but she wasn't sure. The more and more she spoke the clearer it was that she just as I didn't think it was Toshiro. I spoke softly" Momo, I think it's time we…"
I stop halfway through my sentence when I heard the voice of Gin speak from behind us" Welcome Momo and Melody, What a pleasure to see you both"
The sound of his voice sent shivers down both myself and Momo's spine. It was Momo that spoke first" Captain Ichimaru, What are you doing here?"
Gin just seem to chuckle as all he replied was" Just come with me" before turning and walking away. I looked down at Momo and whispered" Momo we shouldn't.." but my voice went on death ears as she followed after Gin.
Fearing that something wasn't right I followed after Momo. Walking up the stairs Gin was asking question directly to Momo through the answers where clear. Gin had told here there was some there that he wanted us to meet. I followed behind Momo closely. It was all so strange that Gin was so calm while the Central 49 was found dead only minutes ago. Gin instructed us to look behind us through it was odd that some one would be behind us. Looking behind us, my breathing nearly came to a halt when I saw him. There stood Aizen looking back at us. He was unharmed and very much alive. His first words were" I've missed seeing you, Momo"
At first I thought he didn't see me but he glanced at me before talking back to Momo. I didn't understand what was going on. Momo ran to him and held onto him while I just stood there in shock. He told here that he had to fake his own death. He began to thank Momo, telling her that he was lucky to have her as his Lieutenant. My eyes widen at the sound of sword piercing the flesh of Momo. I couldn't breathe as I watched Momo fall to the ground.
She won't make a sound
Alone in this fight with herself and the fears whispering if she stands she'll fall down
She wants to be found
The only way out is through everything she's running from wants to give up and lie down.
It was as if time stood still. Aizen had looked down at Momo before looking up at me. He spoke as he stepped over Momo" And I have missed you most of all my love"
I began to back away from Aizen and whispered" Aizen what have you done" Aizen didn't reply.
As I moved back, I could feel his Spiritual pressure surround me. I couldn't move. I couldn't breathe. I just stood there as a watched his bloody Zampukto came towards me. Unlike Momo, he didn't stab me, instead he slashed at my chest. Before turning around, he spoke one last thing to me" I no longer need you."
Aizen looked to Gin and said" Let's go Gin" I watched as Aizen walked away with Gin. I pulled myself and crawled over to Momo. My wound wasn't as sever as hers. I was still able to move. Despite the fact by Vision was buried I was able to hold onto Momo's hand and used my hands to help stop be bleeding. I had put so much energy to save Momo that I didn't notice my own wounds were still bleeding out until I passed out from blood lost.
.:: End Of Flashback::.
The Grand Commander looked down at me and asked" Is this true?"
All eyes were on me and I wasn't going to lie. With my head bowed I spoke" It is true Commander. I did go in search of Aizen."
The sounds of whispering echoed through the room.
I looked up at the grand Commander and said" but I am no traitor."
So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day, what's lost can be found
You stand in the rain
