Oh, thank you so much for the review, Mi-chan! (although, it's not nice of you to say that to me – pout). And thank you as well, forever122!
Now, on with the new chappie!

Chapter 10: Connect the dots
Toshiro sat silently next to Momo's bed. After knocked her unconscious, he had brought her to the 10th Division and kept an eye on her.
He sighed. It had been 15 minutes since the Jigokucho flew away, after it delivered the new message about Rukia's execution. Now, Toshiro was playing his favorite game called "connect the dots".
Hitsugaya had forgot to tell him a lot of things, Toshiro knew that. The (present) ice captain just been informed the basic information from his counterpart such as Rukia's execution, Ichigo and his group, and Aizen's betrayal.
Toshiro closed his eyes and started the so-called game of his…
First, he needed to start with Aizen's death. He had been extremely confused the moment he looked at Aizen's "body". Even though Unohana's report said that was really Aizen's body, Toshiro still found it was hard to believe.
After all, Hitsugaya told him Aizen was very powerful. There was just no way he could be killed that easy.
And then, the way Gin frowned when the young captain asked him whether or not Aizen was really dead. Gin hid his frown very well, but Toshiro was not stupid. Not only that, according to Hitsugaya, Gin played a role in Aizen's plan. The silver haired captain, the brown haired teme and Mr. Justice (*cough* Tosen *cough*) were Seireitei's traitors.
Next, the whole letter thing. He had been accused for the crime he didn't commit, even though he wanted to. The stupid letter showed that he "wants to use the power of Sokyoku to destroy not only Seireitei but also the whole Soul Society" and the he "killed Aizen because he knew about the evil plan".
Then, the change in time of Rukia's execution. Toshiro remembered that Hitsugaya had said something about that. What did he say again?
-Flashback-
"The whole Kuchiki's execution was part of Aizen's plan. In fact, the orders that had been sent to Yamamoto-sotaicho from Central 46 were fake…"
-End flashback-
"The orders were fake…," Toshiro muttered to himself.
Then suddenly, his eyes widened, and he sat up straight.
He finally understood.
He finally connected the dots.
"Take that you stupid game of mine! I won! I won!" Toshiro shouted in excitement, "I finally connected the dots! Now who is the genius, haha!"
Hyorinmaru, who had been silent since the beginning of his master's "game", groaned. He was pretty sure that the vortex had done some damage to his master's mind. The boy had been acting out of character since the moment he came back from the future.
"Eh, Master?!" Hyorinmaru cleared his throat, "Can you please tell me what you understood?!"
Toshiro calmed down but still had a grin on his face.
'It's easy, Hyorinmaru,' he answered his dragon, 'Aizen faked his death with the fake body that somehow succeed in fooling Unohana-taicho. And according to what my counterpart told me, the orders about Kuchiki's execution were actually fake as well. Aizen faked them. And he somehow knew that I knew about his plan, even though I hid that. That was the reason why he made a fake letter to Hinamori and told her I killed him, just so he could take me out of the picture, which failed.'
"I think you're right, Master. But I still have one question…"
'What's that?'
"How in Soul Society did Aizen fake the execution's orders? I mean, those orders came from Central 46 after all…"
Toshiro realized Hyorinmaru was right and silently cursed his counterpart. Hitsugaya had forgot to tell him this as well. Damn the bastard. And he called himself the child prodigy.
(In his world, Hitsugaya sneezed. He then muttered, "Someone had been said bad thing about me…")
'I don't know about that, Hyorinmaru,' Toshiro thought, 'Maybe Aizen had killed the whole Central 46 or something, so that he could send the faked orders…'
Both Toshiro and Hyorinmaru went silent.
"Oh shit…," Toshiro hissed, stood up immediately.
He then made his way out of the room and went to the location of Central 46.
"Taicho?!" the familiar voice called him, and Toshiro turned around.
"What do you want, Matsumoto?" he asked his lieutenant.
"Where are you going?" Rangiku frowned, "And why do you look so angry?"
"Now it's not time, Matsumoto," Toshiro replied, "If you want to follow me, then hurry up!"
With that, he continued to his destination.
"Wait-wait for me, taicho!" Rangiku called and followed her captain.
The sixth chapter! Bravo me!
