This is a story about Momo Hinamori, the poor Fukutaicho (lieutenant or vice-captain) who might always be loyal to Sosuke Aizen, her former Taicho.

This DOES NOT bash the pairings: HitsuHina and MoAi. We're sorry if you feel that this story does.

Warning: May have angst and hint of said pairings.

Disclaimer: We don't own Bleach.

Told in Momo's POV.

A Peach's Epiphany

I can't speak. My voice-I don't think I can hear it! Can anybody hear me??? How did I end up here?!

Of course. I just remembered. Shiro-chan…he stabbed me. Was he angry with me or…no, it wasn't because of Aizen Taicho. He would never, ever hurt me on purpose. It had to be an accident…

It was an accident, right…?

Oh, Shiro-chan. Please don't look at me like that. It's not your fault. I just got in the way…you didn't see me. Toshiro? What are you going to do? Ie, don't! Aizen Taicho is not the problem! Fight Ichimaru! Fight Gin Ichimaru! No! Don't scream! He'll see you! No don't go to Taicho! No, everyone! Don't attack Aizen Taicho! He'll have to fight back against all of you! Please don't kill my Taicho! No! Toshiro!!!

TOSHIRO! AIZEN TAICHO!

No, no, no! Aizen Taicho, you've changed! Why did you attack them?! Especially Shiro-chan! Don't hurt him! He mistook you for the enemy, Aizen Taicho. Aizen Taicho…can you see me? Can you hear me? Don't you know we are all Soul Reapers? I understand; you wanted to give the Hollows a purpose! But I suppose the Sou-Taicho didn't approve of it, so you had to leave, right Aizen Taicho? Right?! Please…

Answer me!

Ie…you won't give me that look of care…because you can't. Perhaps I knew what you were doing all this time, but I ignored the smallest signs. I know what you must think of me, Aizen Taicho. You must think I am a useful pawn…was a useful pawn. I wish you could read my thoughts. You too, Toshiro. I want you to hear my thoughts. Aizen Taicho…Will you ever come back to me as the man I knew? The man who saved my life in my academy days? Who took me in as your Fukutaicho? Who embraced me when times were hard on me and the company…? Toshiro, do you know the answer? I know you do. And now, I do too.

You won't come back to me. The Aizen Taicho I knew…never existed.

I see you, Aizen Taicho. You are now fighting Kurosaki-san…and now…here comes…the…total darkness… I hope to see you soon, Aizen Taicho. Maybe after this whole battle…we can drink tea together in heaven with Shiro-chan and the other Taicho. I would like that…Wouldn't you…Hitsugaya Taicho?
