When Sanura woke up the next morning, two heads were trying to burrow their way into her hips.

"What're-"

"Shhhhh!" Starrk whispered, so quiet she could barely hear him. "My head hurts."

"What did you do?" Sanura asked, lowering her voice a little.

"Quiet." The person on the other side snarled.

"Drinking contest...Los Lobos...I win." Starrk muttered, head falling limply back onto the bed.

"That's your own fault then." Sanura shook her head, disentangling herself from the two.

She tiptoed from the room as quietly as she could.

-;-

Sanura was meandering down one of the roads in the Seireitei when the black and red butterfly landed on her nose.

'Requesting immediate back up in the Living World. Muramasa-san has gone haywire. Kyoraku, Ukitake, Kurosaki, Shihoin, and Yamamoto Genryuusai are all trapped within Ryuujinjakka at this moment in time. Captain Zaraki Kenpachi's whereabouts are unknown to us. Therefore, as the most offensive, available, Captain; this now your problem. Fix it.'

Sanura sweatdropped.

"Why me?" She grumbled, hurrying back to her barracks with hangover medicine in hand.

"Hey, guys!" She called out as she entered. "Guess who gets to go on a field trip!"

"Not me." Kensei growled, slamming his door shut. Sanura pouted.

Starrk was oh-so-happy to share his medication with Los Lobos.

Once her Espada had been gathered together, Sanura gave them the news.

"So, we're going to the Living World..." Grimmjow confirmed.

"Yes."

"To beat up the guy responsible for the chaos?"

"Yup."

"And we're the only ones that are going?"

"YUP~!"

"Fuck my life." Grimmjow grumbled. Pantera smacked him over the head.

"Don't talk to Sweetheart like that!" He snarled, rubbing his cheek against the half-ling's head.

-;-

Sanura poked Byakuya with her toe, jumping back and hissing.

"Cero-sama," Szayel sighed, sharing a look with Fornicaras. "He's knocked out. Both of them are."

The former-Octa gestured to the second man lying face down a small distance from the traitor.

"And Ichigo is in that...thing." Starrk pointed to the gigantic red dome that dominated the large clearing.

"Oi!" Tiburon called. "Come over here!"

Sanura turned, bounding to the zanpakuto and her quiet wielder.

"Hai?"

"Cero-sama," Harribel motioned to the unconscious three Humans beside her. "These three are Kurosaki's friends."

"Ishida! Sado-kun! Inoue-chan!" Sanura blinked, prodding each one. "There's nothing we can do with them. Leave them be, somewhere out of the way."

"Uh, Kitten," Grimmjow yelled, staring at the sky. "I think we have a problem!"

"What no...Oh, shit."

"Well, that certainly is a problem." Fornicaras nodded, eyeing the growing Garganta.

"Can we close it?" The hybrid asked the pink-haired duo.

"Not from this side." Szayel shook his head.

"Okay..." Sanura was quiet a moment. "Guys, we're going on a field trip to Heuco Mundo!"

"There are several things I do miss." Harribel nodded, moving to stand beside her.

As the Garganta grew larger, a Menos roared from inside.

"We'd better stop them from destroying Karakura Town." Starrk yawned, stretching his arms.

"Well, let's go." Sanura jumped upwards, rising to stand in front of the Garganta.

The large group of Menos inside reeled backwards in surprise.

Then they realized who she was, and ran for their measly little lives.

Grimmjow snickered.

The former-Espada burst into the Garganta.

-;-

Sanura flounced happily down the halls of Heuco Mundo, watching in amusement as the remaining Fraccion and Arrancar in the castle bowed as she passed.

She was alone at the moment in an abandoned part of the castle, several blocks of rubble sat in scattered piles down the tile halls.

Something scraped against the ground in a particularly dark corner.

A large brown eye appeared in the shadows, quickly filling with tears.

A large white blur launched itself at her and Sanura shrieked as it's arms wound around her shoulders.

"Mama!" It shrieked.

Sanura struggled to see through the person's blond hair.

She paused. She knew this hair.

"Tesla?" She asked slowly.

"Mama knows my name!" The male cried, nuzzling his way into her shoulder.

"Tesla, let go so I can see you." She sighed.

The blond male pulled back reluctantly, and Sanura's face morphed into one of horror.

"My baby!" She screamed. "What happened to your face!?"

Tesla whimpered, stilling under her frantic touches to his face.

Three identical thundering footsteps screeched to a halt, skidding sounds echoing behind her.

"I HEARD SCREAMING!" Nnoitra, Grimmjow, and Gin yelled, glancing at one another in surprise.

"Daddy!" Tesla launched himself at his former master.

Nnoitra skittered backwards, attempting to hide behind Grimmjow.

Grimmjow kicked him in the shin.

"Don't touch me." The teal-haired man snorted.

Tesla nuzzled Nnoitra, tears running down his face.

The rest of the former-Espada calmly rounded the corner, looking surprised at Tesla's presence.

"Tesla-kun," Starrk stepped forward, prying the young man off Nnoitra. "How are you?"

"Mama," Tesla bolted away from Starrk and latched onto her leg. "Who's the scary person?"

"That's Starrk, Tesla." Sanura snickered at the look on Starrk's face. The hybrid re-introduced Tesla to everyone and then looked around.

"Anybody seen Szayel?"

-;-

"There you are." Sanura sighed, striding into Szayel's old lab. Tesla followed behind her, one hand tangled in her sleeve. "Tesla, this is Szayel."

Tesla ducked behind her.

"Ah, Sanura-sama." Szayel waved, glancing up from one of his computers. "I've discovered that our second problem is fully intact."

"Right." Sanura's eye twitched. "What is this problem, exactly?"

"Before Aizen created Wonderweiss, he experimented with several other Arrancar." Szayel pushed up his glasses and gestured to the blank wall to the left of them, slamming a button on the computer behind them. "These three are all that's left of Project Y."

The wall slid open, and then the thick metal door behind them snapped open.

"Jesus look! I'm glowing!" One of the occupants of the hidden room yelled the moment light hit him.

"You're always glowing, Sparrow!" Another one yelled, straining against a straight jacket. "Dammit, let me out! Spaz is coming back!"

The person fell quiet a moment, and then a faint groan echoed from his mouth.

"I blacked out again, didn't I?"

There was a confirmatory chirp, and the third person crawled out of the corner.

"Mind explaining?" Sanura turned to Szayel again.

"These three are Shinsou Kyouryou, Kagami Hitshiezu, and Soen Hissori. More commonly, they're known as Sparrow, Spaz and Chirps."

Sanura watched as each one moved forward into the light.

Sparrow was the one who had yelled that he was glowing. He was six feet tall, with tan skin and grey eyes. His raven hair was short and spiky, and he looked about twenty. However, his right eye was completely black. He wore a pristine white shirt and pair of loose pants with no shoes.

Spaz was relatively short, about five foot six. His eyes were blue and his deep brown hair was pulled into a short ponytail on the top of his head. He was about seventeen. Spaz also wore a pair of loose pants, but his shirt was a straight jacket.

"Kagami has an alternate personality called Beans, who tries to kill him frequently." Szayel gestured to the male.

"Alternate personality..."

The third person was female, and about four feet, just a little taller than Yachiru. She looked to be twelve. Her large eyes were gold, and her hair was dark blond. Chirps' skin was pale. Her clothing consisted of a long white shirt, and a pair of short hakama.

"Chirps can't talk." Szayel held forward three information sheets.

"Sparrow is blind in his right eye, Spaz has an alternate personality and Chirps can't talk." Sanura stared at each one.

"Oh my god!" Sparrow yelled, levelling his finger with Szayel's chest. "It's Pink!"

Reitsu snaked off all three; Sparrow's light green, Spaz's white, and Chirps' yellow.

Sanura stepped forward.

"Please, calm down." Sanura spread her reitsu over the three. "We aren't here to hurt you."

"But Pink-" Sparrow started.

"Was brainwashed by my father. My name is Sanura Aizen, Cero Espada and Captain of the Eleventh and Half Division of the Gotei Thirteen. I'm going to take care of you now."

"You're pretty." Spaz blushed.

"She is?" Sparrow cocked his head. Szayel handed Sanura a pair of rimless glasses and directed her toward Sparrow.

"Hey! She is! And her hair is turquoise!"

"Yes, it is." Sanura giggled.

Szayel returned to his computers and gestured them out.

Sanura turned to Tesla, smiling and leading him out.

The three prototypes for Wonderweiss plopped down onto the floor.

-;-

Sanura cracked her neck and rolled her shoulders, eyeing the still open Garganta.

"Let's close this." She and Grimmjow stepped forward, latching onto the top of the portal. It steadily closed, and a small poof of dirt appeared around the two when they made it to the ground.

"Let's get going." Sanura pulled out Sanbimu, and did a head count. Once confirmed that she had her Espada, Tesla, and the three new charges, she opened the Senkaimon and bounded towards home.

-xXx-

"Anybody seen Kurosaki?" Sanura suddenly asked, pacing the front living room of her barracks.

"Who?" Sparrow looked up at her from his upside down position on the couch.

"Orange hair, grumpy face, bad listener?"

"Nope. Haven't seen him. Not that I'd do a good job of seeing things."

"Kurosaki is not here, Cero-sama." Harribel murmured, looking up from her magazine.

"I'll go find him." Sanura bounded forward, staggering to a halt. She glanced at Tesla's hand, which was wound in her haori.

"Spoonhead-kun!" Sanura yelled, picking the tall male out of the crowd easily. "Watch our baby while I'm gone."

Nnoitra opened his mouth to protest.

"That's an order."

"Yes, ma'am."

Sanura smirked, reopening the Senkaimon.

-;-

When Sanura arrived at the clearing where the gigantic red dome had stood, she was just in time to see Muramasa dissolve in purple sparkles.

Ichigo glanced over at her, waved and took two steps forward.

Except he fell on his face before he made it to Sanura.

She dashed forward rolling him over, and lightly smacking his face.

Ichigo didn't move.

Beside him, Zangetsu materialized.

"Ichigo's powers have finally vanished." The spirit sighed, looking down at his wielder. "Hichigo will take refuge in your inner world."

'Hiya, toots!' Hichigo laughed.

'Ah, crap. I thought I was done with voices in my head.'

'Nope!'

'Fuck.'

Zangetsu watched his feet as they began dissolving.

Sanura smacked Ichigo, snapping him awake.

"What!?"

"Sorry, Kurosaki." Sanura gave an apologetic smile. "It seems you've finally lost your powers."

"My powers?" Ichigo sat up, pressing a hand to his chest.

"Hichigo has already left." She tapped her head, and slung the teen's arm over her shoulder.

She moved them over to his three friends, placing him against the three. Chad stirred, and sat up.

"Aizen-san?"

"Hi, Chad." She smiled.

"What's going on?" Uryu asked, also sitting up. Orihime let out a soft snore.

"I'm losing my powers." Ichigo sighed, wincing.

"Sorry, Ichigo." Sanura stood. "I hereby honourably discharge you from my Division, and release your from your duties as a Substitute Shinigami."

SR- Awww...Ichigo's lost his powers now. How depressing. Not really, he's annoying to write sometimes.
