A/N Sorry again about the wait! but here it is the newest chapter!

"The problem at hand is how exactly do we get what we need, we can't exactly walk into the Shihoin mansion." Shunsui noted

"It'll be covered." Was Mitsurugi's only response, causing the two too look at him quizzically, he quickly added

"I suppose you could say I have an ace in the hole." He concluded.

And that was all the other two needed, the three had known each other for so long that none of them had to really explain themselves to gain the trust of the other two. And if they really did need to know what Mitsurugi's "ace" was he would've told them.

"Well I suppose it's time I get to work" Mitsurugi sighed scratching the back of his head

"Mmm" Shunsui silent agreed as he took a sip of Sake

"Nanao might actually kill me if I dodge my work again" He chuckled

"Well till tomorrow then?" Ukitake chimed in

The three friends parted ways after some quick good byes, however with both Shunsui and Mitsurugi heading in somewhat the same direction it gave Shunsui some time to dig deeper. And he had a hunch to confirm.

"So" He began with a huge smirk planted on his face

"She is with the Ryoka isn't she?"

"She?" Mitsurugi pretended to act confused.

"Oh Mitsurugi! My dear friend! I've known you for far too long, only one person in this entire world puts THAT smile on your face." Shunsui confidently spoke, poking at Mitsurugi

"Yoruichi is back isn't she?" Shunsui then whispered.

Mitsurugi only looked at him, a smile beginning to form on his face.

Shunsui laughed quite boisterously as he knew the answer. But he suddenly realized a problem

"Idakasa" He began. Catching Mitsurugi off guard since Shunsui only used last names for important business. And rarely ever did he use Jushiro or Mitsurugi's last name

"The Ryoka murdered Aizen" He finally blurted out, stopping in place.

"They didn't Shunsui. Something deeper is going on there." Mitsurugi fought back

"Mitsurugi… I know you want to believe her"

"They didn't kill… Aizen" Mitsurugi turned heel to look at Shunsui

"I'm trying to find who did." He stated more calmly

"Yoruichi swears it." He finished turning back around.

"That's all I need"

The laidback captain merely chuckled and tipped his hat.

"Then that's all I need as well my friend" He put his hand on Mitsurugi's shoulder.

Mitsurugi smiled, thanking Shunsui for his trust before the two parted ways. Shunsui practically danced his way into the 8th division a Mitsurugi walked towards the 9th. He needed to focus, Shunsui had a good point, if the Ryoka didn't kill Aizen… Who did?

So many thoughts ran through his mind… All the captains, the lieutenants… Did anyone even hate the man? Sure Mitsurugi had his doubts… Something always seemed off about Aizen but the man was always caring, smart and tactical, and always smiling, even when…

And it hit him… Like a ton of bricks, Even with the most foul of news Aizen was ALWAYS smiling. Why? No matter how happy a man is, a sane man would never be smiling at some of the things that he knew. Hell even Kurotsuchi frowned at things Aizen didn't… And when they caught news of the Ryoka invasion Aizen was pretty quick to excuse himself once the meeting was over.

"Wait…" Mitsurugi thought even harder

After they learned of the invasion Aizen Gin and… Tosen they all went to Squad 5 together….

"Tosen" he concluded

"He knows something" Mitsurugi stated aloud as he walked towards his office.

As he opened the door to his office he looked around, scanning the area for anything to help him

"Tosen?" He called aloud, only to be welcomed by silence

"Lieutenant Tosen are you here?" He called again, still silence.

He looked over at Tosen's desk, seeing as usual Tosen was caught up with everything.

"Damn. I have no reason to search for him." He pondered ways to test his suspicion.

"Gin" He continued on. Only to hit a quick wall,

"How am I going to get anything outta that guy..." He wondered

A/N-2 Yeah it was alittle short, don't you worry! Next chapter is gonna be a good one ;)
