Chapter 6; We're in trouble

Ichigo P.O.V.

I must have fallen asleep because I found myself in an unfamiliar room and my wounds were healed. I rose from the king-sized bed and began exploring the room. It was very basic but the furniture was of supreme quality.

The floor was a comfortable carpet, the walls were painted a combination of white and blue. A bed with a black frame and green-blue sheets stood in the center of the room, on it I found a fresh kimono. A black dresser stood tall in the back of the room. There also was a black and white desk with an white office chair. Next to it stood a wooden bookcase with various books in it.

There were two doors, when I opened one I found myself in the bathroom. There was a huge bath complete with high pressure jets. I relaxed even thinking about taking a bath like that. A shower on the other side of the room and lastly some cabinets with a mirror above it.

Like I said basic but I would not mind living here. I used the bathroom to freshen myself up and to put on that fresh kimono I found on the bed.

I tried the other door and saw that it lead to maze of hallways. So that means I'm in Grimmjow's room? Anyway I better stay here then, I could get lost or attacked. I was not in the mood for neither. I picked up a book from the bookshelf and started reading. It was a book about cats, in fact almost all books here was about cats. Ha, if this really is Grimmjow's room, I could use this to annoy him.

I did not need to wait long before said Espada came into the room.

"Aizen wants to see you, and if you say anything about the books, I'll make your life miserable. They're not mine."

"Whatever you say, Grimmcat. I guess you'll lead the way?"

The look he gave me promised pain and I could not help but to smirk.

"Shut up and follow me."

I was going to reply to that but was already on his way and I had no choice to follow. I caught up to him and walked beside him.

"Thanks, I guess. For doing this. If you didn't bring me here I would have been in a lot of trouble."

"I said shut up. And don't thank me yet, I don't know what Aizen's gonna do."

After many twists and turns we finally arrived in what looked like a throne room. It was a huge chamber and in the middle against the wall was an equally huge throne on which Aizen sat upon. I had to do my utter best not to laugh out loud.

"Ichigo Kurosaki, I heard from Grimmjow that you find yourself in a rather difficult situation. Care to elaborate?"

Aizen asked me. Beside the throne were a few Espada present, and of course Gin and Tousen were there as well. I did not know if I could trust the guy, but I realized I needed his help, so I began telling him what happened.

"Well, first I was what they called a vizard. A Shinigami with a hollow in his soul."

"Yes, I know. There are a few residing in the real world I believe."

"Yeah, I ran into them a few times. But anyway, Abarai Renji, Kuchiki Rukia and I were attack by a very strong hollow in the real world. It charged a cero at Rukia and I had to block it using that power. They didn't know that I had that power so I guess they were shocked and afraid. I guess this because when the fight was over Renji contacted the Soul Society and told them about it.

I overheard that conversation and Renji was told to hold me until they had sent backup to kill me. Worst part was Renji agreed to it, I wasted no time in running away."

"I see, but how do you explain your evolved powers?"

"I was getting to that. I hid in an abandoned building and entered my inner world. I was seething and it took a good fight from my hollow to calm me down. I was still angry and I wasn't the only one. Zangetsu and Hichigo, as I called my hollow, felt the same. We talked about it came to an understanding. In order to protect ourselves from the whole of Soul Society we had to become stronger. So I merged with Hichigo."

"Interesting. I never heard about that ever happening. It's amazing your hollow agreed to it, because I assume that he is gone now?"

"Yes, his powers are at my disposal. But I need to train, in order to control them."

"Well then let us make an agreement. I won't ask you to join us, because I know you will say no to that. But let us be allies. We offer you help, you offer us help. How about it?"

"What would you want from me?"

"Well in exchange for training you can give us information about the Soul Society. You know them and you could tell us their weaknesses."

Sounds like a good deal to me, I'm sure there is a catch but that doesn't matter. I need to control my powers and an alliance would take a lot of stress of my back. I don't have to watch out for the arrancars and Espada anymore. And maybe they could even fight with me if I befriend them. It is settled then.

"You have a deal. But there are a few people from the Soul Society still on my side, so I don't want you to harm them."

"Really? I'm surprised at that. You see the reason I left the Soul Society is because I was tired from their laws and rules. For centuries they stayed the same, it worked in the very beginning, but laws need to change if you want to protect the ever growing population of new races. A new race like the Vizards and yourself."

"That makes sense. If what you are telling me is true then I was lied to about you. They told me you were evil and wanted nothing else then to destroy the Soul Society and take the soul kings place."

"Lies indeed. I left and build a new empire, a new improved empire with a new race. I admit it's not perfect but at least I'm willing to change if necessary. But is true that if I have the chance I will try and overthrow the Soul Society. Not to kill everyone but to rule it and change the laws. Tell me the names of those who are on your side and I will extend a peace offer to them."

This turned everything I knew upside down, and the hatred for the Soul Society grew even more. I vowed to find out if that what Aizen said is true, and if it is then I would join them and help them in taking over Soul Society.

Hitsugaya P.O.V.

A few moments earlier Ichigo's friends arrived at Urahara's shop demanding answers to what was happening. Captain Kuchiki took them into a private room to explain. I do not doubt that they will support Ichigo.

Captain Sajin was found unconscious with traces off an cero's riatsu on him. It is possible that he ran into Ichigo and got knocked out. We will find out when he wakes up.

Captain Kuchiki came back in the basement and gave me a nod, signaling me that Ichigo's friends are on our side. I was going to my tent to text Kurosaki of this development when a siren roared. The head captains voice boomed through the basement.

"All Shinigami report immediately to your superior and depart at once back to the Soul Society. We have gathered news on the traitor Kurosaki Ichigo and everyone is required back here. Act at once. Dismissed."

Well that is strange, I could understand for a few Shinigami to be called back, but everyone? Something is going on here. I went to my tent and gathered my possessions when I noticed that the cellphone was missing. I ran outside and found captain Kuchiki.

"The cellphone's gone."

"Yes, don't worry. Abarai asked for it, he wanted to apologize to Kurosaki and express his support."

I relaxed a bit hearing this.

"Oh, alright. Do you know what's going on then?"

"No, but I guess we'll find out soon."

With that a huge Senkaimon opened and bit by bit everyone left. I was one to depart with the last group and the journey was fast and quiet. I just knew something is going to happen and I will not like it.

And I was proved right.

The moment I stepped a foot onto ground I was surrounded by Shinigami from the first squad, without hesitation they used Bakudo on me.

"Carriage of Thunder. Bridge of a spinning wheel. With light, divide this into six! Bakudo nr 61, Rikujokoro!"

To slow to react I was trapped.

"What is the meaning of this? Release me this instant."

"I'm afraid we cannot do captain Hitsugaya."

Head captain Yamamoto said while walking towards me.

"Captain Hitsugaya, you are under arrest for treason against the Soul Society. You will be taken into custody and await trail. But with this kind of felony you can be sure you will be executed. Bring him to the Senzaikyu."

Line break

AN; are you wondering what will happen next? Don't worry I will not let you wait to long.
Thank you once again for the reviews, they keep me motivated. I vowed to myself to release a least one chapter a day, and I will try to hold myself to that promise (reviews help a lot, hint). ;3

The Senzaikyu is the tower where Rukia was also imprisoned, in case you were wondering.

Love
