Disclaimer: I do not own the characters, nor do I own Bleach and Naruto. However, I like to think I own the idea, but considering how much I still have not discovered on the world wide web, -and how I cannot read minds- I'm probably not the first one with this idea.
This chapter is named after the song "Touch the Sky" by Julia Fowlis.

Pikachu79:For the answer to your question "will there be a chapter(s) showing the aftermath after Sasuke killing Nagisa?", my answer is yes; the aftermath will be shown eventually, but not until the Konoha Arc (which will come after the Soul Society Arc at some point, I might add the Zanpakuto Rebellion Arc in before that, but I'm still planning it out.).
Toshiro and Nagisa are cute, aren't they? :) They're completely oblivious to their adorableness too.
Thanks for the review ;P

Aladdinina Magi: Total light and oblivious fluffiness is what the pairing will be about for a while. Nagisa is dense and Toshiro is socially awkward (and both of them are oblivious) so they don't notice that they have feelings for each other until later (probably after Aizen's betrayal - Toshiro will probably be the first to notice) and it takes even longer for them to admit it.
Thanks for the review! :)

Five Years Later
"Nagisa-san!"
A young girl, possibly twelve or thirteen, with long sunshine-gold hair and big azure eyes; pale skin and whisker-marks on her cheeks, glanced over her shoulder as another girl approached.
"Momo-chan! Hi!" Nagisa greeted, a large grin on her face.
Both girls wore the standard shinigami uniform, both had a zanpakuto; Momo's rested on her side while Nagisa wore her's on her back; and each had an arm band wrapped around their upper-arms, showing their station of lieutenants of the Gotai 13.
"How are you?" Momo asked as she walked beside the blonde girl.
Nagisa tugged absentmindedly on the orange scarf wrapped around her neck - a gift from Toshiro to celebrate her promotion to Lieutenant of the 3rd Division. "I'm good, kind of nervous though." The blonde told her brunette friend, "This is my first meeting after all."
Momo smiled in understanding, "I know how you feel, I went through the same thing. But don't worry, lieutenants really don't have anything to do but stand behind our captains."
Nagisa laughed, "Speaking of captains, I wonder where mine vanished to..."
"Ichimaru-taichou is talking with Aizen-taichou. They sent me on ahead."
"Yo-hoo! Hinamori! Nagi-chan!"
Both lieutenants turned around to see Matsumoto bouncing towards them, before pouncing and pulling Nagisa into a tight hug, ignoring the young girl's flailing.
"Hello Matsumoto-fukutaicho!" Momo greeted, smiling at her friend's predicament.
"Lemme go!"
"Call me 'nee-chan'!"
"Lemme go, Rangiku-nee-chan!"
With a laugh, the 10th Division lieutenant released the smaller girl.
"Matsumoto..."
"Shiro-kun!" Nagisa grinned brightly and bounced over to the white haired captain's side,
Toshiro smiled slightly, "Nagisa." His turquoise eyes landed on the orange scarf the blonde wore, "You're wearing it."
"Of course I am! You gave it to me!"
Momo and Matsumoto exchanged knowing looks
Nagisa stood behind her captain, Ichimaru Gin, as the meeting continued on and looked around. Her eyes met the gray ones of Hisagi Suuhei, Lieutenant of the 9th Division, and he shot her a grin and a thumbs up. Nagisa quickly smiled back before returning her attention to the Soutaicho,
"- and finally. Kuchiki Rukia still has not returned from the world of the living. From the reports we have collected, there was a large gathering of Hollows merely a few days ago. Kurotsuchi-taicho, please continue."
"Of course. As Soutaicho said, there was a large group of Hollows attacking Karakura Town. The signals quickly vanished, however, a Menos appeared."
Nagisa's eyes widened. A Menos?!
"It was cut down in a large blast of Reiatsu." Kurotsuchi finished.
"Did Kuchiki do that?" Ukitake asked,
"No. We did not pick up any signals from Kuchiki Rukia. The Shinigami who cut down the Menos is not in any of out databanks."
"What do ya think happened?" Ichimaru asked, "If the Reiatsu signal isn' in our databanks, it can't be a rogue."
Aizen looked at the silver haired captain of the 3rd Division, "A human. Someone must have transferred shinigami powers to a human."
There was a shocked silence.
"Kuchiki-taichou," Soutaichou spoke, turning his gaze to the 6th Division captain, "You and Abarai-fukutaichou shall travel to Karakura Town and retreve Kuchiki Rukia." He then slammed his staff on the ground, signalling the end of the meeting.
"C'mon, Nagi-chan, we've got a patrol to organize and rookies to torment." Ichimaru said, grinning at his lieutenant as he strolled from the room.
"Hai, taichou!" Nagisa fell into step behind her captain with a laugh.
As soon as they were out of the meeting room, Nagisa's eyes darkened. Giving shinigami powers to a human was a crime, but it didn't warrant being arrested by a captain and a lieutenant... Nagisa bit her lip.
"Ichimaru-taicho," Toshiro had come up behind the 3rd Division officers, "Do you mind if I borrow your Lieutenant for a moment."
Ichimaru grinned, "'Course not, Lil'Taicho," Toshiro twitched, "have fun on yer date!"
Nagisa blushed.
Toshiro spluttered.
"It's not a date!" Both shouted after him, but the silver haired captain only swaggered away, throwing a jaunty wave over his shoulder.
"Are you alright?" Toshiro asked, turning to look at her with worried turquoise eyes, at the confused look Nagisa gave him the ice user continued, "You seem worried."
Nagisa bit her lip, tugging gently at her scarf "Well... I just feel like something big is going to happen. What I mean is, sure, Kuchiki-san is a noble, and giving a human shinigami powers is an offense... But well, how does that warrant being hunted down by a captain and a lieutenant?"
Toshiso crossed his arms over his chest with a sigh, "I understand what you're getting at, but it's the Soutaicho's orders."
"I know..."
Toshiro sighed again, "Just promise me something..." He muttered, squeezing the blonde's hand gently, "Promise me you won't do anything stupid."
Nagisa felt faintly amused at the young captain's words, "Shiro-kun... I'll try. But you know me, danger follows me like a shadow." Toshiro twitched at the reminder, "But I promise I'll try."
- *Crystal Snowflakes* -
A large silver and black dragon hovered over her, yellow electricity arched off it's body as intelligent golden eyes peered down at her.
"Greetings, Child."
"Rankiryuu." Nagisa greeted.
Her Zanpakuto spirit landed in front of her and it's body shimmered before reforming into a man; long black hair fell in front of mismatched eyes (one silver, one gold), his body obscured by a black, silver, and yellow cloak. "Something ails you, Young One." He stated,
Nagisa nodded her head, she knew that Rankiryuu already knew what was bothering her but her Zanpakuto spirit knew that she felt better when she voiced it out loud, "It's about Kuchiki Rukia."
"Ah, yes. Sode no Shirayuki's wielder." The Zanpakuto spirit clarified, "Her arrest and sentence bothers you, does it not?"
"Yes. It makes no sense." Nagisa said, "I mean, they sent a captain and a lieutenant after her, the captain and lieutenant of the Sixth Division, when it's usually either the Second or Ninth in charge of the arrests. Then when they bring her back, she doesn't even get a trial! Central 46 just decides she's going to be executed! What if she had a perfectly sound reason for giving her Shinigami powers to the human?!"
Rankiryuu listened to his wielder's rant calmly, "I agree with you, Youngling. Something is odd about the way Central 46 is dealing with the issue." Her told her, "However, we no longer have anymore time at the moment. You have a patrol with your captain."
"I forgot!" Nagisa gasped,
Rankiryuu dipped his head, "Be careful, Young One. Something is a foot."
- *Crystal Snowflakes* -
"Our plans are in motion." Aizen said, looking at his two followers as they stood in the 3rd Division captain's office. "All the pawns are in place."
"What of Uzumaki-fukutaicho?" Tousen asked, ignoring the look Gin shot him. "Her Zanpakuto is an Illusion-type. Much like Kyoka Suigetsu. She may be immune to your abilities."
Aizen looked thoughtful for a moment, "I have full confidence in my abilities. Kyoka Suigetsu is the strongest Illusion-type Zanpakuto in the Soul Society. But, if for some reason Uzumaki-fukutaicho becomes suspicious, we shall dispose of her."
Gin stiffened marginally, eyes opening slightly to reveal icy blue irises. "Wha' if we jus' recruit 'er?"
Tousen glared at the silver-haired captain suspiciously, "Have you grown soft, Ichimaru?"
"Naw. But I gotta admit 'm fond o' the kid; kinda hard not ta, even th' Soutaicho likes 'er."
"Recruiting her is not a possibility." Aizen said, "Her loyalty is solely to the Soul Society."
They went silent when they sensed rapidly approaching Reiatsu, it was their only warning before Uzumaki Nagisa sprinted into Ichimaru-taicho's office, adjusting her Zanpakuto over her shoulder as she did.
"Sorry I'm late, Taicho! Rankiryuu wanted to talk." She then paused when she noticed who else was in the room, "Oh, sorry if I interrupted something, Aizen-taicho, Tousen-taicho."
Aizen smiled kindly, "It's fine, Uzumaki-fukutaicho, no damage done. We were just finishing up anyway."
The brown haired captain nodded to Ichimaru as he and Tousen left the room.
When they were gone, Gin turned to his lieutenant, "We're headin' over to th' Hakutomon, ."
"Kay!" Nagisa beamed as her captain ruffled her hair playfully as he passed, before falling into step behind him and following him out.
Gin felt his smile slip slightly before forcing it back up.
Kid was making this all that much harder for him.
