Chapter 9: Captain Aizen death? 3rd division vs. 5th division!

"What's all this ruckus so early in the morin'?"

The five vice captains turned to fine Captain Ichimaru standing there. "Uh oh, this here's a serious incident eh?" He asked.

Be careful…Be careful of 3rd squad. Especially…when Aizen goes out walking alone…

"WAS IT YOU?!" Hinamori yelled taking hold of her zanpakutou. She quickly pulled out her zanpakutou racing toward him; Ichimaru just smiled watching her.

But as she tried to attack him Kira blocked the way. "Kira-kun…why…?" Hinamori asked. "I'm the Vice Captain of 3rd squad. No matter what the reason, I won't permit anyone to point a sword at the Captain." Kira told her. Ichimaru grinned toward her before starting to walk away. Hinamori tried to follow him but Kira quickly stopped her again. "I'm begging you, get out of the way, Kira-kun." Hinamori cried. "I can't do that." Kira whispered to her.

"MOVE! MOVE!!"

"STOP!"

"DON'T YO HEAR ME TELLING YOU TO MOVE?!"

"DON'T YOU HEAR ME TELLING YOU TO STOP?!"

"Hajike, Tobiume!" Hinamori yelled; as orbs when flying toward Kira.

The two Vice captain quickly backed away from each other. "Releasing your zanpakutou in a place like this…how irrespoinsible!" Kira whispered staring toward hinamori; she was trying to catch her breath. "Do you even realize what you're doing?! Don't confuse private matters with public ones, Vice Captain Hinamori!" Kira yelled to her.

"Hajike, Tobiume!" She yelled again holding her zanpakutou over her head. She quickly created another orb and threw it toward Ichimaru; but missed hitting a building behind them.

"I see…" Kira whispered.

"In that case, I have no choice. I will treat you as an enemy." Kira told her jumping up into the air. "Omote ow Agero, wabisuke!" Kira yelled as his zanpakutou quickly changed shape. Hinamori held her zanpakutou over her head as Kira drew closer and closer.

I held my foot over Hinamori's zanpakutou and my sword hold over kira's zanpakutou. I looked from one to the other. "Don't either of you move a muscle." I told them. "Whitey-chan…" Hinamori whispered.

"Arrest them both."

Matsumoto quickly took a hold of Hinamori. "Whitey-chan!" She cried. Hisagi then took a hold of kira. "Hinamori! Is this the time to be fighting each other with swords?! Shouldn't our first priority be taking Captain Aizen down from there?" I asked her. She quickly gasped at me.

"I'll make the report to the commander-general. Put these two in detention. Take them away." I ordered soon all the vice captains left the screen. "Sorry, 10th Captain-san, to make ya waste yer time on one o' mine." Ichimaru quickly said. I didn't look toward him as I stared up toward the wall; but slowly I started to speak, "Ichimaru…you…were about to kill Hinamori…" I whispered to him. "Well now, whatever are you talkin' about?" Ichimaru asked.

"Don't play dumb I know what you are really like under that mask. Don't think for a second…I have forgotten…what you tired to do years ago…" I felt my hand shake at my side.

I will not let you kill importation people in my life…I thought.

I will protect them…both!

"Oh?...that? We're just sparing back then. You are a bit…mistaken." Ichimaru told me.

Idiot…I can see under his mask at the real man there.

"Ichimaru…I'll tell you this now. If you make Hinamori spill one drop of blood, I will kill you." I told him as I glared toward him. "That's scary. We'll have to watch her real close-like so no bad guys can git to her." Ichimaru said with the same mask on.

One day…everyone will see what you are really like under that mask.

Soon some shinigamis came running toward us, "What has happened, Captain Ichimaru? Captain Hitsugaya?" They asked.

"This…Captain Aizen is…"

"What a…"

"Take Captain Aizen down." I ordered.

"y-Yes, sir."

Slowly left the screen.

I don't know what you are planning…Ichimaru but…I will stop you no matter what it is.

Detention cell of the 5th division…

Hinamori sat within the cell recalling what had just happen, "Captain…" She whispered to herself. "You look awful." Matsumoto told her as she entered the room. "Rangiku-san…" Hinamori whispered to her.

"Have you settled down a bit?"

"Umm...I am sorry. I have been a burden on you, too." Hinamori whispered to her. "huh? Oh. Don't apologize to me. I wasn't able to do anything…" Matsumoto shook her head.

"Umm…outside…what is happening?" Hinamori asked.

"It's chaos. Something like this occurring inside a station is completely unheard of. And there's the matter of the ryoka…everyone's moving on their own and getting out of control." Matsumoto told her. "My god…then what about arresting the killer?" Hinamori asked.

"They still haven't finished inspecting the scene. We have no choice but to wait for the commander general's decision." Matsumoto shook her head. "She was right…stupid idiot. She leaves at a time when we truly did need her the most…" Matsumoto sighed.

"…S-san…you mean?" Hinamori asked.

Matsumoto didn't answer her.

She had put all her trust into her and her Captain. She couldn't give too much information away or she would break her trust.

"But…but the one who killed the captain is-…!" Hinamori started to say. "Stop right there! Don't just say what's in your heart! Just now, I told you everyone's in chaos…but 5th squad is the worst off. They're lost both they're captain and their vice captain at the same time. You realize what'll happen, don't you? I'm not say I don't understand how you feel. But you know…at that moment…and the actions you took the moment you found Captain Aizen….don't you feel, you should at least think about whether you HAD to take, those actions, because there was no other way?" Matsumoto asked.

"The rank of Vice captain isn't that trivial, is it?" Matsumoto asked.

"I'm so sorry. I…I…" Hinamori slowly shook her head. Matsumoto lightly smiled and handed a rolled up letter to her. "Here." Hinamori looked at her in surprise. "It was in Captain Aizen's room. It's addressed to you." Matsumoto told her. "Captain Aizen…to me…?" She asked before taking the letter.

"You're lucky it was my Captain who found it. If it was anyone else, it would've been presented as evidence, and you might never have received it. I don't know what's written in it, but having one's captain leave behind his last words to her…is a happy thing for a vice captain. Read it gratefully." Matsumoto told Hinamori starting to leave the room.

"Umm…thank you so much!"

Matsumoto waved to her before leaving her alone.

Once outside Matsumoto quickly summoned a hell butterfly, "…Hime-chan…these are times you are truly needed. The captain of the 5th division has been killed. Chaos is everywhere as of now. Now is a time the Spirit hime-sama must truly lead her people, so…" Matsumoto quickly let the hell butterfly go and it quickly disappeared.

So…please get this message and return to the soul society as quickly as you can…me and Captain can only do so much in your place…Matsumoto thought as she stared up into the sky.

Slowly Hinamori opened the letter in her hands; and soon she started to read it.

Hinamori-kun,

If you're reading this letter I must not have been able to return…

The letter started off saying, "The captain…knew he was being targeted…" Hinamori whispered to herself.

Last night, after I fell asleep, he wrote this letter, Captain…she thought; he when on reading the letter.

I've caused you a lot of worry; I don't think any words of apology I could string together would even suffice.

Until now, I have never spoken to you about the insecurities I have felt; but I want you to understand it was because; I didn't want to get you involved.

And if possible, I want to forgive me…for finally involving you at this stage. I'm probably no longer living. So…for you whom I trust most of all, I will record here the entirely of the truth I have uncovered.

Hinamori then turned the letter over; but stared in shock at it, "This is…" She cried.

She shook her head. She didn't wish to believe what it said in the letter. But she knew her Captain wouldn't lie to her.

"Whitey-Chan…" She whispered to herself.

Flashback…

She had grown up with him. They we're childhood friends even those he always acted so cold; he would always be whitey-chan to her.

"Okay then, I'm going, whitey-chan!" Hinamori told Toushirou rubbing her hand in his hair. He only glared at her. "Quit calling me whitey-chan!" He growled. "And don't pat my head!" He yelled pushing her hand away.

"When you can enroll in the same place as me, then I'll call you by your name." Hinamori told him.

"Screw that. As if I'd wanna, go to Shinigami school."

"After I move into the dorm, I'll still, come back on holidays to see you. Later!" She yelled as she ran out of the village. "Don't come back, bed wetter Momo!" He yelled to her.

Toushirou and her had always been close sense then; even if they didn't always show it.

"Captains are just totally amazing! The spirit force coming from their bodies is completely different from ours!" Hinamori told toushirou as he finished part of a watermelon. "Gosh are you listening, whitey-chan?" She asked. "I told you to quit calling me whitey-chan!" He growled as he spit watermelon seeds at her.

"And why d'you come back every time you get a day off? Is there that little to do at shinigami school?" Toushirou asked. "Hey, I come back here to hang out with you." She told him.

"No one asked you to."

"When I become a shinigami I'm definitely gonna join Captain Aizen's 5th squad!"

"Hmm…"

"What?! I'm serious!" She cried.

"Hmm…"

End of flash back…

Hinamori slowly nodded to herself as she stood up.

She had made up her mind. She slowly walked over to the bars where a guard stood. "Excuse me…" She whispered to the guard. "Yes, need something?" He asked looking toward her. He stared at her eyes as she casted a sleep kidou on him. The guard quickly fell to the floor into a deep sleep.

Soon after that she made her escape from the cell. She held the letter tightly in her hand as she ran down the street.

By the time you get this letter, I will probably no longer be alive. So…for you whom I trust most of all, I will record here the entirety of the truth I have uncovered.

"When I first read the Captain's letter I distrusted my eyes. I couldn't believe it. But…it's true, isn't it? I will believe the Captain. Captain Aizen…the one who killed you was…" Hinamori whispered to herself as she ran.

She still didn't wish to believe it; to believe…what was wrote down on this letter…felt unbearable.

But her Captain wouldn't lie to her…right? She wondered.

"Don't worry, Captain. I will take care of it, even those he is your killer…I…" She felt tears run down her cheeks. "I…I will make sure he is taken care of…" She whispered as the tears continued to run.

I will not let him live in sin. It is the best I can do for him.

For him…I will end his life; so he will not be burden alive by his sin.

"Whitey-Chan…"
