Chapter 2: For My Dear Friend

My second day as 3rd seat in squad 10. This afternoon there was a sighting of ryokas that entered the Soul Society. Others say they are trying to save Rukia Kuchiki. I don't blame them for wanting to save her. She is their friend. I would've done the same if it were someone that important to me.

There was a sudden explosion in the seireitei. I ran to it as quickly as I could.

I spotted someone's bright orange hair. "Hello? Is anyone there?" I called. I was suddenly pinned against the wall with a giant sword to my neck. My eyes widened but I stood my ground. "Who are you?" The person asked. "M-Miyuki Himitsu. 3rd seat of 10th squad." I said trying to not seem scared. "Are you on our side?" the person asked. The smoke suddenly cleared and there stood a male soul reaper I've never seen before. "You are...one of the ryokas." I stated. "The name is Ichigo Kurosaki." He said. I nodded."I deeply agree with you for why you are trying to save Rukia." I said. Ichigo stared at me to make sure I wasn't lying. "Alright " he said and released his hold on me.

"Do you know where she's located at?" he asked. "Yes- you're injured!" I exclaimed looking at his right shoulder that had a huge cut going down to his waist. "It's nothing." he said. "Please let me heal this for you." I said. He nodded and sat down against the wall.

I tended to his wounds. "W-who did you fight..?" I asked. "Kenpachi Zaraki." He said quietly. My eyes widened and looked up at him. A simple ryoka..was able to defeat the blood thirsty Kenpachi Zaraki? This kid is pretty good.

"Alright finished. The place where Rukia is being kept is in that big tower." I said pointing to the prison tower. Ichigo nodded. "Thanks for everything, Miyuki" he said and ran off.

"Matsumoto, where is Miyuki?" Toshiro asked while rushing to the council 46 building. "I don't know captain. Last I saw her she was in the office." she said. "I see" he said quietly.

It has been 1 day since Momo's sudden break down about Aizen's death. She wasn't handling it very well.

Toshiro and Rangiku made a sharp turn into the Council building, to find them all murdered.

"What the hell happened here?" Toshiro exclaimed. "Captain!" Rangiku called and pointed up at the back door, where Izuru stood.

"Izuru! What is the meaning of this?" Toshiro asked. Izuru ran off without a word.

"Follow him, Matsumoto!" Toshiro shouted and ran after him, with Rangiku right on his tail.

I was rushing through the Seireitei when I saw Captain Hitsugaya and lieutenant Matsumoto run past me, chasing after Lieutenant Kira. "What's going on?" I wondered to myself and followed them.

Izuru stopped in his tracks and turned to face the captain and lieutenant. I hid behind the wall of a tall building.

"Izuru! Were you the one who murdered all of the council 46?" Toshiro asked.

"No" Izuru stated simply. Toshiro charged at him and their swords clashed together.

"Captain Hitsugaya. You shouldn't be fighting me right now when Momo is gone." Izuru said. Toshiro froze.

"What do you mean Kira? I placed a kido barrier around her room!" Toshiro exclaimed.

Izuru shook his head. "Your barrier is strong enough to keep people out. But not keep them in." Izuru said.

Toshiro flashed stepped off back to the Central 46 Compound. I quickly followed behind him without him realizing.

When we reached the building Toshiro rushed in but I was stopped by a Squad 4 soul reaper.

"3rd seat Himitsu!" The man exclaimed.

"What is it?" I asked.

"There has been a fight sighted on Sokyoku Hill!" he said.

"What about it?" I asked.

"Captain Byakuya Kuchiki might need help." he said

"He is able to handle it himself, hopefully." I said.

"A-Are you sure 3rd seat?" he asked.

"Yes, do you dare doubt Captain Kuchiki's abilities?" I asked.

"N-No of course not!" he exclaimed.

"Then let him be. I know him well enough to know he won't be taken down easily by a ryoka." I said and ran into the building.

I walked slowly through the hall into a big room where Gin Ichimaru stood with his creepy grin.

"Ah! 3rd seat Himitsu! What a sight!." he exclaimed.

"Don't mess with me Gin. Where is Captain Hitsugaya?" I asked.

"Hm..I don't think you would want to see him in his condition.." he said sulking.

I ran past him into the small room. What I saw made my blood run cold.

There, laying unconscious in a pool of blood, was Momo.

" Lieutenant Hinamori!" I exclaimed and ran to her side. She was so pale and I could only feel a faint pulse.

"Ah, I see you've made it just in time..3rd seat Himitsu." A familiar voice said.

I turned my head and met face to face with Aizen.

"Aizen.." I growled. I was just about to charge at him but I saw a familiar body behind him.

"Ah Ah.." Aizen said. He stepped to the side to reveal Toshiro's body covered in ice and blood.

My eyes widened in shock.

"C-Captain..." I whispered. Soon my shock turned into anger. "Y-YOU BASTARD!" I screamed.

I was about to lunge at him but he placed the tip of his sword against Toshiro's pale neck. I froze in my tracks.

"Now, now Miyuki. One more step and I'll completely end his life" Aizen said.

I dropped my head, letting my bangs cover my eyes. A stray tear fell down my cheek and I shook slightly.

"Aizen." I said calmly.

Aizen looked at me amused. "What is it Miyuki?" he asked smirking.

"Do you know why I joined the 13 court guard squads..?" I asked.

"No, I don't. Please do explain." He said.

"I joined...to protect those I hold dear.." I said.

"Most soul reapers join because of that" he said matter of factly.

"I never showed my shikai to anyone...not even my closest friends." I said.

Aizen stood there silently.

"You...you just think I'm at 3rd seat level don't you, Aizen?" I asked.

"Of course, that's why you are a 3rd seat." he said.

"You're wrong." I said. "I am more powerful than that, even without a Bankai.

"What do you mean?" he said tensing up at the sudden rise of spiritual pressure.

"I'll show you" I said. "Cry quietly, burakkuenjeru." (Black Angel)

A blast of black spiritual pressure came from my body. My katana had black carvings on it and was coated in black spiritual pressure.

"Your shikai is impressive. But you won't be able to beat me using a mere shikai." Aizen smirked.

Suddenly my katana turned into 2 silver hand guns.

Aizen was slightly shocked but wasn't surprised a bit. "Regular bullets have no effect on me." he said.

"These bullets were made to suck out spiritual pressure and cause strong pain to its target." I said.

I shot Aizen twice not even missing once. He cringed in pain.

"It's over Aizen." I said. " Dangan no Ame" (Bullet rain) A shower of bullets rained down on Aizen.

When the smoke cleared there was no sight of him.

"W-what the-" I stammered.

"Looking for me?" Aizen's voice came from behind me.

I quickly turned around but was slashed on my shoulder and stabbed through the stomach.

"S-shit" I whispered.

Aizen flung his sword, with it still through me, at the wall. I coughed up blood as I hit the hard surface. I struggled to stay on my feet. I looked over at Aizen to see him standing over Toshiro with his sword once again pressed against the young captain's neck.

He brought his arm up and cut down. But not on Toshiro's neck. Instead, It was through my unwounded shoulder. I coughed up more blood.

"Protecting someone's life over your own?" Aizen asked and smirked. "How pathetic."

I grabbed onto the tip of his sword that was still in my small shoulder. I gripped it tightly.

"You may see it as pathetic..but I see it as heroic." a calm, womanly voice said. Aizen turned around and met Captain Unohana's brown eyes. "Unohana.." he said calmly and pulled out the sword from my shoulder. I fell to the ground, next to Toshiro with a thud. My onyx eyes met glazed over crystal blue.

"I'm sorry...I couldn't protect you.." I whispered.
