Ichigo struggled alone as she fought against Motherglare, mother of Hollows. All attacks she gave felt nothing toward it and no Kido spell were effective enough either.

'There… there's got to be a way out of this.' Mentally thought of Ichigo as she caught her breathing but doesn't have enough time as the mother of hollow attacked using its right middle arms. Ichigo twitched as she jumped on the side to dodged it but was caught off guard when another arm coming her way and was smashed away.

"GRAAA!" Ichigo's body slammed on the wall so hard that she vomited some blood before landing down, body aching in pain.

"Time for the feast." Motherglared murmured in triumphed then roared, her sign of saying it time to eat.

For Ichigo, she struggled as she pushed herself to stand up but her body was so much in pain that her own body won't comply anymore. Even so this never swayed her will to stand up ones again.

'No… I… will… not…' Her endless will to stand up ones again made her body finally comply and slowly stood up, both hand gripped in her sword and eyes burning in fire. 'I won't lose… I cannot… lose…'

Her mind at some point thought Aizen would come and help her but always brushed it away, 'I must learn how to depend myself. Aizen can't always be here for my rescue… I need to prove myself that I can do this.' An image showed her mother protecting her from a grand fisher that took both their lives. She glared and her reiatsu burst in her sword, 'No more… no more…' She bellowed, "NO MORE!"

"Ichigo" A familiar voiced called that suddenly Ichigo could see her Zanpakuto in front of her.

A tall lean built and stoic middle aged man who had pale skin and long hair, wearing tattered white dress shirt with upturned collar and cuff, black pants, low heeled boots and long amorphous black overcoat with burgundy highlight that flares out into ragged end. This Zanpakuto was the manifestation of Ichigo's power from her mother's side.

"O-Ossan" Ichigo addressed, "Why did you…"

"Ichigo to survive you must quickly learn how to access my full potential at ones." Zangetsu instructed.

"Your full potential?" Ichigo questioned. Zangetsu nodded, "The full potential that came from your mother's blood."

Ichigo's eyes widen, "My mother's? What's with my mother? Zangetsu tell me!"

"For now I will give you my assistance but soon you must be able to do it on your own." Zangetsu was slowly vanishing, "At the same time, your questions will be answered."

With that Zangetsu vanished. In reality, an immense reiatsu had burst around Ichigo's small body, making Motherglare stepped back, eyes widen in disbelief on what it's actually witnessing.

Ichigo could feel her power rising up, to the point it became so foreign yet it felt right. Raising her sword she dashed using shunpo but more than faster than before and hit Motherglare, giving a growl of pain.

"GURAAAAA!"

Ichigo didn't stop, not even she knew her wounds were opening wider and bleeding more, she kept going and attacking, giving more and more slashes to Motherglare.

"I-Impossible!" Motherglared screamed in pain, "This human soul… is a quincy!"

Ichigo wanted to question but pushed it on the side as now she gathered everything to her sword, giving her everything to her single attack.

"This is the end." Ichigo murmured as she went to swinging position then swings it while bellowing its name, "Getsuga Tensho!"

Ichigo fired a crescent moon of a wave, so powerful that when it hit its target, Motherglared cried so much in pain. Skin cracking and so was its mask.

"NOOOO! This… cannot… be…!" Its eyes landed to Ichigo who's still burning glare toward it. This made Motherglare used its whole strength as the mother of hollows. "If I will die… YOU WILL DIE WITH ME!"

Motherglare burst a very powerful light around its body, swallong itself and the attack then the surroundings. Ichigo was unable to do anything as she too was swallowed by this light.

'What… what is this?' Ichigo questioned as she could feel something within her, something was eating her and she can't help but fear it.

"GWAAAAA!"

Original world in the training ground of Visoreds, everyone was worried as they stared at Kairin's stillness state. They heard what happened from Yoruichi and they knew it would be hard for Kairin to focus after learning what he had heard from his own little sister and the fact this said sister was on Aizen's side. For now, Kairin told them he would enter his inner world to be alone and plead not to disturbed him. So here they were, watching Kairin who haven't return from the surface.

Sarugaki Hiyori was losing her patient and about to give Kairin a kick when Hirako Shinji stopped her.

"The heck you bastard! Let me go so I could give this dump ass a kick!" Hiyori said as she struggled from his hold. Shinji sigh, "Idiot can't you see that won't help him at all? Give the guy some space."

"But!"

"He's right Hiyori." Yadomaru Lisa said as she approached her and pat her head, "We can't force Kairin to train when he can't focus in the first place. Let's give him time as much as we need, even if that time reached the time of war until he made a decision. This isn't no longer about who's side you are on but who's telling the truth."

"Hmph, well for me Aizen did something to make her believe that, maybe manipulated her. We know Aizen and surely he took Kairin's little sister an advantage for his plan." Aikawa Love said, voicing his opinion to everyone.

Otoribashi Rojuro nodded as he agreed to him, "Just thinking about it I could say he surely did that."

"But what about the incident of Yuuzu's death?" Kuna Mashiro questioned, "I don't know if Captain-Commander Yamamoto had something to do with it but it's possible it could be true as well."

"The Seireitei is corrupted, we realized it for a long time." Ushoda Hachigen added before sighing, "As much as I would like to agree Aizen had actually took advantage toward Kairin's little sister but the possible for Captain-Commander Yamamoto actually did that was possible."

Muguruma Kensei took a sigh as he crossed his arms to his chest, "True… for some reason we don't know who's telling the truth and who's lying. Aizen can be the prime example of lying but he could actually use the truth to put everything according to his favor. He's such a manipulative man."

Everyone became silent, pondering everything now when they heard each other's opinion. In the end, Shinji sigh. "We have no knowing who's telling the truth but for now all we could do is stop Aizen from his plan no matter what."

All nodded in agreement, now they returned back on staring at Kairin's stillness and hopefully he could make a decision he will never regret.

Soul Society, Yamamoto had called Yuuzu upon his office and asked his lieutenant to leave them alone. Now that both were alone, Yamamoto began the conversation.

"I'm glad you come and agree to meet me." Yamamoto started, observing Yuuzu who's still conflicted and not facing him directly. The old man took a deep breath before asking, "Do you believe what your little sister had told you?"

Yuuzu remained silence and Yamamoto didn't mind as we waited. Finally, he answered. "I don't know…" Yamamoto remained silence this time, knowing he would say more than that. "I don't actually know who's to believe anymore." He glared the Captain-Commander, "Tell me, is it true? Are you the one who killed me!?"

Yamamoto observed the teen Shinigami in front of him. He took a deep breath before answering, "We have strong morals Yuuzu and you know the morals of us Shinigami." He looked at the teen's eyes straightly. "We don't harm the living nor even choose who will die and I didn't give orders to kill you."

"But what about the Shinigamis who perished few days after my death!?"

"They are the Shinigamis that were temporarily stationed to the human world to eradicate hollows just like the reason we had sent Kuchiki Rukia." Yamamoto looked at him sharply, "You do know those kind of mission are very normal for every division to actually have."

Yuuzu twitched, hands clenching and looked down ones again, eyes shadowed as he spoke. "I'm sorry Captain-Commander Yamamoto, until I hear more explanation from my little sister I cannot decide who should I actually believe in."

"Your little sister is in the hand of Aizen, he may have manipulated her to believe it's me who had ordered your death."

Yuuzu shook his head, "You don't know my sister Captain-Commander Yamamoto, she's smart and observant, she could tell when the person is actually lying or not. It would be hard even for Aizen to manipulate my sister."

"His Zanpakuto could do something about it. He's a master of illusion."

"True but I'm sure you had noticed, Ichigo could use the power of our Zanpakuto just like Kira, Captain Ukitake and Captain Kurotsuchi's Zanpakuto, even reached in the Bankai form at the same time. When I entered to my inner world he told me something really surprising. Ichigo had a power to put any of them under her control as long as she wields them, by their OWN will. She could also sense the Zanpakuto's real potential to the point she easily knew how to use them. That's why in my opinion even if Aizen used his illusion toward her it won't be easy because she could actually sense it."

That made Yamamoto process everything he had said and yes that could be possible. His Ryujin Jakka also said the same thing as well.

"For that reason… I'm really sorry… until I could reach my answer, I don't think I could join the coming war." Yuuzu finally said. He's fist was trembling but tried to hold himself, he told him what he actually felt and he will do whatever it takes to learn the truth.

Yamamoto took a deep breath before responding, "Very well, you may take off." That shocked Yuuzu, he elaborated. "A warrior must find his answer first before entering the battle. Hesitation would result of death and you know it. Go Yuuzu, hopefully you will be enlightened before the war started."

Yuuzu can't believe what he's hearing but glad he had actually permitted him to go. He bowed, "Thank you sir."

The old man nodded and let him go and so he did. Ones alone, he can't help but shake his head in disappointment. 'I must report this to the Central 46, that girl will be a problem more than I had expected.'

Hueco Mundo in Las Noches, everyone with the Espadas were present in the throne room. On the corner everyone noticed a human with a presence of a hollow on the corner with Rinzo who's happily chatting with the said human. Some with a guts had tried approaching the human but Rinzo had thrown them away saying they had something to catch up so back off. Whatever they wanted to catch up with, they had no idea.

The door soon opened and the one who's entering was immediately recognized as everyone gave way and bowed their heads as the King, Aizen Sosuke walked heading to his throne sit. What they didn't expect was an orange girl following behind whom they never recognized yet had an aura that tells they should never doubt this person. The girl was wearing a sleeveless inner pure black blouse and long sleeveless white blazer with yellow lining in the button end and sleeve, white short pants and few inches light red gladiator sandals.

Tosen and Gin bowed upon Aizen's coming. Arriving to the thrown chair, Aizen faced them and sat while the girl went on the side of the thrown chair and stood by his side as she too faced everyone.

Aizen began to speak, "Must be surprising why I had called all of you when I usually only call the Espadas for a meeting and you see the reason why." Aizen glanced to the girl and offer his hand which she took. He stood up and moved forward with her. He introduced her to them, "Meet Kurosaki Ichigo, my ruler-in-arm."

The announcement had shocked them. That girl was someone who's same position as their Aizen-sama?

Ichigo smiled on Aizen before moving forward to speak, "Greetings everyone, from this day on I will serve Aizen-sama for the sake of his goal and lend everyone with everything I have to achieve that goal." Ichigo released few of her reiatsu for them to feel and see the pure and brilliance of her light blue reiatsu. That's when they sense something that everyone immediately recognized, the presence that only the pure ruler of Hollows has which was rare phenomenon. "For that reason in this coming war, we must be victorious!"

That made the whole fraction shout. The Espadas were staring at Ichigo in new perspective, they knew immediately they will follow her and will never betray her, their princess.

Since everyone had recognized her, Ichigo turned to Aizen and questioned. "Who would have thought this would be the kind of welcome I will achieve Aizen-sama?"

Aizen chuckled, "You deserve it, after all you are the princess recognized by the Queen itself."

Ichigo smiled for the comment. She turned to the two who were bit confuse about her presence. She cleared her throat then introducing herself, "I am Kurosaki Ichigo, I'm sure my family name is kind of familiar, it's because they're my brothers, Kurosaki Yuuzu the third sit in tenth division and Kurosaki Kairin the substitute Shinigami. Please to meet both of you."

Gin and Tosen stared at her for a moment before Gin smiled and introduced himself.

"Ichimaru Gin, please to meet you Kurosaki-chan." Ichigo smiled but never miss something off about him, "Call me Ichigo, I don't like to be confused by my brothers."

"If you say so Ichigo-chan." Gin said happily. Tosen stood up and offer his hand, "Kaname Tosen, please to meet you Ichigo-sama."

"Likewise Tosen." Ichigo accepted his hand. The three turned to Aizen who's merely watching the small interaction. Ichigo asked, "So where do we begin Aizen-sama?"

Aizen smirked, mind calculating for their course of action.

Soon in Aizen's quarter where he's reading and assigning some papers, he heard a knocking sound. From the spiritual pressure it belongs to Gin.

"Come in." Aizen called, eyes still on the paper he's working on as the door opened revealing Gin with papers in hand. "I'm done Aizen-taicho."

"Put it on my table." Aizen said as he put aside the paper in hand before taking another one. Gin did what he was told and put the papers on his table. He began to report, "By the way Ichigo-chan is pretty getting along with everyone so easily."

"Is that so?"

"Yeah, the last time I check she's having some conversation with Grimmjow."

Aizen hummed, he knew well what kind of effect Ichigo could bring to them and he's kind of intrude what changes would to each Espadas.

"Is that all?" Aizen questioned. Gin began thinking then remembered something, "Oh, that haft human, Rin if I remember her name, she's training with Rinzo. Do you want to check it out? I saw something interesting within those two."

"Ahh you mean their Zanpakuto." Aizen said which made Gin almost pouted, "Ara you already knew."

"Just like their existence were divided into two and so the Zanpakuto."

"Then by chance does Aizen-taicho knew what are their Zanpakuto?"

"I knew everything." Gin sigh, giving up. "Sure you do Aizen-taicho. Well is there anything I could do?"

"You might as well go and prepare their room so they could settle."

"Ahh that's right they don't have a room yet."

"Make sure whatever room you are giving to Ichigo, Rin's room would be near."

"Oh why is that?"

"Rin serve as Ichigo's right hand and assistant."

"That makes sense. Did you assign her for the job?"

"It's Ichigo's decision."

"Very well." Gin grinned since decorating empty room was kind of a good pass time for him, "I'll be off."

Gin left, leaving Aizen doing the paperwork.

Human world in Urahara Kisuke's shop, Hitsugaya, Rangiku, Yumichika, Ikkaku, Chad, Ishida and Orihime were currently listening to the recent event that happened in Soul Society from Rukia and Renji. What shocked Chad, Ishida and Orihime were the fact that Ichigo had caused so much damage and joined Aizen's side. Urahara who's listening were eye shadowed in thought, now he knew the bad feeling Yoruichi had told him that time and they were too late to do some measure about it.

For Hitsugaya, he remembered the first time he met Kurosaki Ichigo. Her last word before she departed was like a warning for them and he knew she's a serious threat toward the Seireitei.

"Those who are gravely injured were currently being treated by the Fourth Division. Although our numbers had decreased due to Ichigo's rampage according to Captain Kuchiki." Renji concluded.

Rukia sigh, "Captain Soi Feng, Captain Kamamura, Captain Kyoraku were heavily injured as well, Captian Ukitake's health got worsen. We're in a tight spot if ever Aizen used this opportunity to full out attack."

"True." Hitsugaya agreed then began questioning, "But what you told us about her being able to use Captain Ukitake, Captain Kurotsuchi and Kira's Zanpakuto, was that really true? Can someone who's not even an owner or part of them could be used like it's their own?"

"This may answer your question." Urahara said as he brought the hell butterfly who had fly on the center then showed them the how Ichigo fought against Captain Soi Feng and Captain Komamura, her mass destruction and everything.

This shocked everyone again, to use Kido without chant nor saying its name, her ability to brought out the potential of a Zanpakuto that the owners haven't achieved, using Cero that hollows could only use, shunpo and sonido, using two bankai form and her joining Aizen's with Rin…

"I-Ichigo-chan…" Orihime can't believe what she had seen. Rukia and Renji's words were unbelievably shocking but seeing it with her own eyes gives more of it.

"Does Kairin have any idea about her ability?" Rangiku questioned. Ishida answered as he fixed his glasses, "Unlikely, we can see he's even shock like the rest of us."

Chad nodded in agreement, "From this point those twins will have a hard time gathering their thoughts. For them Ichigo is their treasured family, they are very protective ever since she's born and to see her fighting side by side with Aizen could change something."

Yumichika narrowed his eyes, "Are you telling us the twins could change side? That's not beautiful."

Chad nodded, "And I won't hesitate joining Kairin's side."

"Well this is just a probability and I have no right to interfere with whatever decision those twins will make." Ishida said as he crossed his arms before glaring them, "I hope none of you will think something about harming them knowing that probability. That will only prove Ichigo made a right decision joining Aizen's side."

"Hey we're not that low to do that!" Ikkaku argued.

"But he has a point." Surprisingly it was Urahara who said that, "I won't really be surprised if Captain-Commander Yamamoto gave such order and that proves Ichigo's claim of him actually the mastermind of killing Yuuzu in the world of the living. So the best solution would be giving them time to think for themselves."

Hitsugaya narrowed his eyes toward the previous captain of twelve divisions, "Are you doubting the Captain-Commander, Urahara?"

Urahara used his fan to cover haft of his face, "Have you forgotten Captian Hitsugaya, I am not part of the Gotei 13 and apparently you are using my service here, I could say whatever I want."

Hitsugaya twitched knowing its true.

"Well for now I will do some research about Yuuzu's death." Urahara said as he stretched.

"Yuuzu's death? Why?" Rangiku questioned.

"I want to know the truth that's all, whenever what she said is true…" Urahara's eyes shadowed as he continued, "Or Aizen played tricks upon her."

With that he left. Everything became silence, still pondering what they had learned.

"Is Kairin-kun and Yuuzu-kun alright?" Orihime asked. Rukia shook her head while Renji answered, "Who knows, those two asked us to leave them be for a while. I'm sure Kairin returned back to the Visored's training place while Yuuzu on his room, other than that we know nothing."

Ishida sigh, "What a troublesome situation we had gotten ourselves into."

Karakura Hospital, Isshin received the news from Urahara about what happened in Soul Society. Isshin wore a serious expression as he remembered his conversation with Urahara then told the news to Ryuken a friend whom he had told what Ichigo had told him before the chaos began.

Ryuken sigh before asking, "So, what do you plan to do Isshin?"

"For now, nothing." Isshin answered, "I will wait how things will go, especially hear the answer of my twins. After all, as their father I will always support them."

"You really are strange. If any father was told the reason of their son's death they would do something to meet justice or revenge yet you done nothing of it."

"Maybe because I'm the actual reason why Yuuzu died." Isshin said as he became sad and guilty, "They knew what I had been doing all this time and used my connection as punishment… seeing them as a threat."

"That's why I can't really trust the Shinigami, the way of thinking is too stunning that you wanted to burn them to death."

"For ones I would agree… and I hate the fact I became part of it."

The two became silence, thinking before Ryuken broke it.

"You will keep yourself on the side to support your children, correct?" Isshin gave a questioning look, "Yeah? What about it?"

"How do you intend to do it?"

"Easy, just find an opportunity that's all." His eyes said with a shrug before becoming serious, "Even if it means I have to reveal them who I really am."

Hueco Mundo in desert, Ichigo was walking alone as she looked the surroundings of Las Noches.

'Eternal night, nothing but desert.' She thought with a little sadness.

Went on the spot where she could lay down and put her hands on the ground then closed her eyes. With little concentration her body began to glow and it spread upon her surroundings. Slowly a root came out from the sand, growing slowly and slowly but from Ichigo's condition her body began to shake, uneven breathing and sweating. In the end she stopped as she tried to catch her breath as much as possible.

Noticing her result, she was only able to grow grasses around her both hands. When she got her bearing she sigh in disbelief and tiredness.

'As expected… even though I possess some powers the Soul King had given it won't be enough to create wide nature restoration.' She sighed and this time in defeat until she heard something familiar. Turning to the source she can't help but eyes widen and smile wide, after all the ones who were coming were the bunch of her hollow friends that she had gathered from the human world. They come to Hueco Mundo for her. "Everyone!"

The hollows jumped and landed on her, making her fall down the sand but didn't care as she laughed and hugged them although she couldn't really hug them all due to their numbers.

"I'm glad everyone's here. I miss you guys." They all growl in response then began stroking their heads toward her, showering their affection toward her. "Yeah I'm glad everyone is alive too." She answered to their concern and action.

Somewhere far, Rin and Rinzo were watching over Ichigo with the hollows. Rinzo whistled, "They act like bunch of animals."

'Aren't you and them are same species? Why belittle them?' Rin thought as her gaze shift to her other haft and sigh, "Let's go."

"Huh? Are you sure it's best to leave her be?"

"It's Ichigo-sama and this is Las Noches, if anyone dared to attack Ichigo-sama it would easily be noticed. Her reiatsu is extraordinarily not normal in a sense."

Which was true, Ichigo's reiatsu was tremendously large and powerful, none would be able to miss it ones she actually used it in battle.

"You got a point there." Rinzo said with a shrug before pulling his other haft as he talked about some suggestions which she should try later.

Soon Aizen was walking when he noticed someone was outside, looking out he saw Ichigo, eyes close and outside with her dear friend hollows. This made him smirk, thinking if he could use hogyoku to rise their race into adjuchas and have them join in Ichigo's fraction although he had to consult her first. He normally doesn't but he had to maintain her trust so he could use her for his coming plan.

"Aizen-sama" Turning on the side it was Tozen approaching him. Turning on the side he noticed Ichigo. "Is it alright for her to sleep outside? Should I carry her to room?"

"No need Tosen, she's not actually sleeping." True to Aizen's words, Ichigo's eyes opened revealing something she had been keeping for so long. The eyes reflecting hurt, pain and betrayal. Aizen knew well the reason of those emotions but never voicing it.

For Tosen however he's very familiar to those emotions yet had no idea why Ichigo had those. There may be a curiosity to know the root of it but decided to keep it upon himself knowing well there were past in each people that does not wish to be talked about.

"Tosen." Aizen called, breaking him from his thoughts, "Yes Aizen-sama?"

"I need some tea, bring it to my room."

"As you wish." Tosen walked away, leaving Aizen to keep watching the pitiful state of Ichigo.

'A princess who had sacrificed the trust and love of her brothers for the sake of her goal and revenge… what a pitiful fallen princess indeed.'
