Chapter Eleven: Sensei; Murder in the Morning

My eyelids felt heavy, even though my mind was working, I couldn't force myself to open my eyes. So basically, to those on the outside, it would appear that I'm still unconscious. My concentration on opening my eyes finally paid off as I managed a peek but then gradually had them open to view my surroundings. It was dark to say and not to mention it looked like some sorta abandon warehouse.

" Ahh, I see you're awake now Rei-chan. " came an old, croaky voice. I looked around to find the source but I couldn't see anyone. The only thing I did spot was a couple of old boxes and a black cat sitting in front of me. Must be a stray, I continued searching until I heard the voice again.

" Oi, over here.." I looked back only to find the cat again. I slowly sat up, noticing that my wounds were neatly wrapped in bandages and my zanpakuto were resting off to the side. I scrunched up my face, not really sure if my senses were right. I stared at the cat and it in turn, stared back at me.

" Uhhh? "

" Yes, you're looking at the right cat..." The black cat said. I was staring at it weirdly, either I banged my head way too much or it's an actual talking cat. It chuckled at my perplexed look and spoke again.

" Ne, I'm surprised you don't recognize me Rei-chan. After all these years of personally training you too..." I blinked at what the cat said, of course I don't recall training with a cat for many years but though it did relate to one thought in my mind.

" Could it be...Yoruichi-sama?! " I asked in disbelief. The small black cat chuckled and nodded its small head.

" Good to know you actually remembered. It's been a while hasn't it? "

" Yoruichi-sama, umm...gomen ne. I did not realize you possessed the skill of turning into a cat. And the voice made you appear like you're an old man. " Yoruichi snickered.

" It's understandable, my other subordinates still haven't figured out that I am a women. "

" Subordinates? " I asked, " Masaka(could it beA/N: Dont rele know how to spell it) That you've entered Seireitei with other ryokas...? "

" Sharp as ever still. " Yoruichi praised but then nodded her head, " Yes, Kuchiki Rukia has befriended a person by the name of Kurosaki Ichigo; the very person who took her powers in the first place. He gathered up some of his friends who had a fairly large amount of spiritual energy to help save her from her execution. "

" Ohh..." I managed to utter, " Seireitei has tightened up its security measures. All shinigamis are permitted to carry a zanpakuto and are also allowed to release their shikai and if any case, also their bankai. " Yoruichi nodded her head thoughtfully.

" That could mean trouble for Ichigo since you might've heard, he was the one who took out Abarai Renji; fukutaicho of the sixth division. " I went into deep thought, so all along they wanted to save Rukia.

" Ne, another thing Rei-chan. What were you doing in that forest all cut up and badly injured? " At that statement, I remembered the deal I had made with Aizen. He told me to not speak a word of it but I couldn't do this to my own sensei. I decided to hint her and yet lie to her at the same time.

" Oh, I was just training and I guess I got too carried away. " I slowly got up, gently as to not re-open my wound. Grabbing my two zanpakuto, I turned to leave, " I really must be going Yoruichi-sensei, I really enjoyed seeing you again and well. But Yoruichi-sensei, I must warn you, " I turned to face the small black cat, " I feel that Seireitei will never be the same after this. So please, watch your back. " Not really getting what I meant, Yoruichi decided to take the warning just in case it might come in handy next time. With a small nod, I shunpoe'd away and began to run back to the forest area. As I ran, I began to wonder how long I was unconscious for because the sun was still yet to rise.

When I reached back to the spot, I stopped and stood quietly, seeing if there was any movements.

'Aizen said that he'll clear things up with me once I head back to this spot, so where the hell is he? '

" Ahhh, I see you've shown up Reimei-han? " I didn't need to turn around to know who that was. The accent was just a dead giveaway, " Joining us 'cuz of a lil rivalry between 5th division fukutaicho for Jyuubantai Taicho-han. I never knew you would roll that way to get whatcha want..."

" What matters is what's going on...Where's Aizen? " I slightly turned my head to give Ichimaru a glare but he only shrugged it off by giving a fox like grin.

" He ain't 'ere now. That's why I'm here to fill ya in. "

" Then start talking. " I snapped, clearly getting annoyed by his grin already. He chuckled a bit and crossed his arms into his sleeves.

" Well, Rukia's execution will be moved up ahead a lil bit. Aizen-taicho plans on removing the Hōgyoku from her gigai by using the immense heat from Sōkyoku. "

" The Hogyoku; The orb of Distortion. I've heard about it... " I knew I heard about it somewhere, it was one of Kisuke Urahara's invention except considering how much power it holds, it was decided to be hidden away. And I guess Urahara suspected that no one would find it in the very core of a soul which happens to be Kuchiki Rukia's.

" Yup, it can dissolve the boundary between shinigami and hollows. Allowing a hollow to use a shinigami power and vice-versa. " Grinned Ichimaru.

" I see, would that not mean getting rid of the Central 46 Chambers in order to actually move the date of the execution closer...? " I asked, trying to think like a criminal mastermind. Knowing Aizen, if he thinks ahead like I would if I was a bad guy, which right now I am, then he would've gotten rid of them from the very start of his plans. And with the uproar of the ryoka's, Central 46 Chambers was sealed. No one could get in or out which means that would be the perfect opportunity to actually murder them. Ichimaru's grin widened, as if he was watching me figure this out.

" Ya know, Reimei-chan, Aizen-taicho and you think alike. "

'So its already taken care of...Just as I thought. '

" Anyways, Aizen-Taicho will be meetin' ya here again tonight so ya better show up. But other than that, I'll be off. " With one last grin, he shunpoe'd off, leaving me to ponder on the important information I had just attained.

'Still, just knowing that the 46 chambers is probably all dead for who knows how long, I can't play snitch just yet. I gotta go with the flow and play along as Aizen's lackeys. Once I find out his future plans on Seireitei, I'll be sure to move onto my next goal; getting out of this whole mess and double cross Aizen. '

Normal POV

Back at the tenth division, Hitsugaya was busily working on the paperwork that Matsumoto hadn't finished. He sighed tiredly again, why was it that he was stuck with a lazyass lieutenant?! And to make matters worst, someone was missing this morning and yesterday night. This also result to him being in a surprisingly bad mood.

" OHAYO TAICHO!! " Matsumoto bursted in through the officer door cheerily. Hitsugaya's eye twitched, trying to restrain himself from punching a wall or strangling Matsumoto to death.

" What do you want Matsumoto..." seethed the white haired captain, slamming down the pen he was holding onto his desk. Matsumoto jumped back, startled a bit by the abrupt action. Never before had she seen her captain in a pissed off mood, well, only when she came home drunk and left a load of paperwork for him to do. But now that she thought about it, he was like this last night too and she wasn't even out drinking surprisingly.

" Umm..Just aheh...Stopping by to say good morning..."

" Well good morning to you too..." Hitsugaya said sarcastically while taking a sip from his cup of green tea. Matsumoto pouted a bit at his more than usual cold attitude.

" Gotten off on the wrong side of the bed Taicho? You're grumpier than usual. " Matsumoto dare say this to Hitsugaya, especially in the mood he's in. He again slammed his cup down on the table and rose up from his seat behind his desk.

" Lay off Matsumoto..." But Matsumoto, being the dense fukutaicho she was, followed her captain as he walked out the office door.

" Nyahhh...You've been acting like this since last night. Did you get into a fight with Reimei-chan again or something and it got too serious? " She asked innocently. Hitsugaya stopped abruptly at the mention of Reimei's name causing Matsumoto to almost run into the smaller captain.

" I haven't seen her since last night now that I think of it...Not to mention I haven't seen her back at the division yet this morning..." Was the thoughtful mutter that came from Hitsugaya. Matsumoto managed to catch that thoughtful sentence and a cheesy grin grew on her face.

" Oohhhh I see, you're just grumpy cuz you're worried about Reimei-chan! " Hitsugaya blushed a nice shade of red at Matsumoto's theory to his moody state.

" M-Matsumoto! It's not like that!! " He retorted, still flustered as ever.

" You're stuttering! Wow! Then you must really like her then! " squealed Matsumoto.

" Shut up! " That only made Matsumoto burst into fits of laughter, so much she had tears streaming out of her eyes and she was clutching her sides so hard. Hitsugaya huffed and just left his lieutenant by flash stepping away to clear his mind. As if on cue, Reimei had so conveniently walked in.

" Matsumoto? Why are you laughing? " Asked a confused Reimei. Matsumoto finally calmed herself down and was surprised to see the violet-raven haired girl standing by her.

" Reimei-chan you just missed him! " she exclaimed.

" Uhhh who? "

" Hitsugaya-Taicho! He was in such a cranky mood because he was worried about you! " At the thought, Reimei blushed faintly.

" U-Umm..."

" By the way, where were you? I don't recall seeing you coming back last night and you weren't in this morning either..." Matsumoto said, placing a finger under her chin to recall the details.

" I was just out and apparently got lost, so I had to spend the night at another division. " Replied Reimei slowly, she didn't want to tell Matsumoto what she was up to, especially her intentions too.

" Oh I see, well let's get breakfast then! I still haven't eaten yet surprisingly cuz taicho caught me sleeping in this morning..." sighed Matsumoto. Reimei chuckled a bit, she was rather getting hungry running around Seireitei. She nodded in agreement and Matsumoto proceeded to drag her to the nearest restaurant. Matsumoto had ordered dango and tea for the both them and they sat eating in silence. Well, that is until Matsumoto started to gossip about Hitsugaya.

" You should've seen him this morning, he was so grumpy and kept getting angry at the smallest thing. He really likes you Reimei-chan. You're one lucky girl. " Matsumoto winked at Reimei, causing her to look away and blush.

" I-I'm sure he was just being a good friend..." Muttered Reimei quietly.

" Well if you think of it that way but he never gets THAT angry when someone disappears for a while. " Matsumoto countered, " It wasn't even 2 hours after you left him to do his paperwork that he started to act grumpier than usual. He likes youuu!!! "

" Matsumoto that's nonsense..."

" NOOOOOO!!!! " A sudden scream erupted from outside the shop and echoed throughout most of Seireitei. Reimei and Matsumoto jerked their heads in alertness and immediately paid of their dango and shunpoe'd to the source. They're search took them to the east wing tower near a bantai tower. It turns out that the ruckus had attracted lieutenant Izuru Kira of the 3rd division, lieutenant Shuhei Hisagi of the 9th division and lieutenant Tetsuzaemon Iba of the 7th division. The one who screamed was none other than lieutenant Momo Hinamori of the 5th division.

" Hinamori-kun! What's wro-.." Kira was cut short when he glanced up at what Hinamori's eyes were widened at. Kira's eyes also widened as did everyone's, " It can't be... " Pinned on one of the towers, was Aizen Sosuke, captain of the 5th division, a streak of his own blood trailed down below him and through his chest was his own zanpakuto. Hinamori stumbled towards his corps, her eyes fixed on his body and tears slowly starting to stream down her face.

" Aizen-taicho...No...No... " Finally overcoming her shock, she collapsed on her hands and knees and wailed out to her now dead captain. Everyone stared in pity at Hinamori's crying form, Reimei, however, had her eyes still fixed on Aizen's corpse. Narrowing her eyes slightly, she deduced the clues in her mind.

'Aizen's zanpakuto...I've fought him before, this is only an illusion. If faking his death is part of his plan, then he must've done this to hide himself away from Seireitei to do something...But what? '

" What's all this ruckus so early in the mornin'? " Reimei turned around as did everyone to find Ichimaru-taicho grinning at all of this, " Uh oh, this here's a serious incident, eh? "

" Ichimaru-taicho, with all due respect, this matter isn't something to be grinning upon. " Reimei said cooly, Ichimaru only glanced at Reimei and continued to grin.

" Aizen-taicho's death isn't something I'm grinnin' at, its the fact that he actually-... "

" WAS IT YOU?! " Reimei's head snapped towards Hinamori who had gotten up and was now charging towards Ichimaru with her zanpakuto. Before anyone could stop her, Hinamori raised her zanpakuto at Ichimaru only to be stopped by Kira. Hinamori stood, her sword blocked by Kira's, shock was clearly written on her face.

" Kira-kun...Why...? "

" Because I am lieutenant of the 3rd squad, under no circumstance should I let anyone raise their sword at the captain. " Ichimaru chuckled at how loyal his lieutenant was and proceeded to walk away, leaving the matter to his lieutenant. Seeing her chance to avenge her captain slipping away, Hinamori fought to get pass Kira who still held his ground to block her way.

" I'm begging you, get out of the way! Kira-kun! "

" I can't allow that. "

" Move! Move out of the way! "

" Stop it! "

" DON'T YOU HEAR ME TELLING YOU TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY?! "

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

" BOTH OF YOU ENOUGH! " Reimei had had enough of this shout fest, especially coming from someone as stubborn as a mule. They both turned towards the raven-violet haired girl who glared at them coldly, she stepped between the two who still had their swords in a dead lock.

" Hinamori-san, you must calm down and think this clearly. "

" Reimei-chan...not you too..." whimpered Hinamori, " Why Reimei-chan?! WHY ARE YOU SIDING WITH HIM?! "

" I'M NOT SIDING WITH ANYONE! What's foolish of you is that you abandon your duties as a lieutenant to take command on this situation!! THE LEAST YOU COULD DO IS TAKE DOWN THE BODY INSTEAD OF BLINDLY GOING AFTER SOMEONE WHO MIGHT NOT HAVE EVEN KILLED AIZEN IN THE FIRST PLACE!! " Reimei's voice slowly rose a level each time, showing her annoyance and anger at the two who had too much pride in their captains to even use common sense. Hinamori, along with everyone was shocked at the authority that Reimei had displayed but apparently with one glance at Kira and then to the slowly departing 3rd division taicho, Hinamori's anger took control once again.

" Who are you...WHO ARE YOU TO TELL ME WHAT TO DO?! " With one last thrust to get Kira's blade away from her's, she called out to her zanpakuto, " Snap, Tobiume! " A large amount of reddish-pink spirit energy erupted from her blade and caused a massive explosion in the area. Reimei managed to jump out of the way in time to avoid being hit, as for Kira and Hinamori, they had both slid back a few feet. With all the commotion going on, Ichimaru was still calmly walking away while everyone was still trying to calm the two down.

" Releasing you zanpakuto in a place like this...How irresponsible. " seethed Kira as he glared at Hinamori. Her zanpakuto now had jitte-like prongs sticking out along the length of the blade. Reimei stood off to the side along with the other lieutenants, not wanting to be part of the fight. A stinging feeling reached Reimei followed by a warm liquid seeping down her cheek. Brining her hand to touch her cheek, she found that she had a slit on her cheek, probably from Hinamori's initial release.

'That stubborn girl... '

" Do you even realize what you're doing?! Don't confuse private matter with public ones, Hinamori-fukutaicho! " shouted Kira, hoping to reason with her before anything serious happened. Hinamori ignored Kira's shouts and proceeded to send yet another ball of concentrated spiritual power. The ball went directly towards Ichimaru but narrowly misses by curving upwards and hitting the tower above him instead.

" I see, in that case I have no choice. I'll treat you as an enemy. " Holding up his zanpakuto, Kira jumped upwards and called out to his zanpakuto, " Raise your head, Wabisuke! " His blade bended into a square hook and he prepared to slam it down on Hinamori. Hinamori in turn, drew back her zanpakuto, ready to strike but when Kira neared Hinamori, both blades were stopped. As the dust cleared, Hitsugaya was seen in between the two; blocking Wabisuke by unsheathing a small amount of his blade and pinning Tobiume down with his foot.

" Both of you don't move a muscle. "

" Hitsugaya-kun... "

" Arrest them both. " Commanded Hitsugaya as Matsumoto and Iba grabbed Hinamori while Hisagi took a hold of Kira.

" Hitsugaya-kun! "

" Hinamori! Do you really think this is a time to be fighting each other with swords?! Shouldn't your first priority be taking down Aizen's corpse down from there? " scolded Hitsugaya, Hinamori let out a small gasp, recalling the words Reimei had said before.

" I'll report this to Sou-taicho, put these two in detention. Take 'em away. " Both lieutenants were escorted as ordered. Hinamori took one glance back at Aizen's bloodied corpse but turned to look away. Once they were taken away, it was only Ichimaru, Hitsugaya and Reimei left.

" Sorry bout that, Jyuubantai taicho-san. For makin ya waste yer time on one o'mine. "

" Ichimaru...You..were about to kill Hinamori. " spoke Hitsugaya calmly.

" ...Well now, whatever are you talkin' 'bout? " Reimei turned and proceeded to walk away silently in light footsteps.

" I'll tell you this now, if you make Hinamori spill one drop of blood, I will kill you. "

" That's scary. We'll haveta watch her real close-like so no bad guys can git to her. "

" What happened?! Hitsugaya-taichou! Ichimaru-taicho! " More of the unseated officers rushed to see what the commotion was about only to find the sight that everyone had seen earlier, " That's! " " It can't be... "

" Take Aizen's body down... " ordered Hitsugaya before walking away.

" Hai! "

Having heard most of the conversation before walking off, Reimei had begun to wonder what Hinamori really means to Hitsugaya.

'Get over yourself, you can't be jealous. Especially now that I've joined Ichimaru and Aizen's plan, with me being jealous, it'll just prove that I would stoop that low to get what I want. '

" Tanaka! " Reimei, snapping out of her thoughts, turned around to find HItsugaya coming towards her. She stopped and waited for him to catch up.

" Where were you this morning and last night... " He asked straight out.

" I got lost and had to spend the night at another division's place. Why missed me that much already? " smirked Reimei. Hitsugaya scoffed and crossed his arms into his sleeves.

" As if. " Reimei giggled.

" Its alright for you not to admit it. "

" Who said I was worried about you anyways?! "

" Oh so you WERE worried about me...Aww that's sweet of you. " Hitsugaya's face became flustered and he turned away just to hide it. This made Reimei giggle more.

" Ja..I'm off to find something to do now. So I'll see ya around..." Before Reimei could turn around to leave, a hand reached out and gently cupped her left cheek, which in turn made her turn around. Hitsugaya's hand gently caressed her left cheek which had been scratched.

" You should take care of that...Before it gets infected. " Spoke Hitsugaya lowly, almost making his voice sound a bit husky. Reimei became trapped in his aqua irises, just like before. His eyes glazed over a bit and they weren't aware that the distance between them was getting smaller. That is, until the warmth of his hand left her face, as he pulled back Reimei noticed that his fingers were skimmed with blood. She nodded stiffly and turned away once more but in her mind, she couldn't ward off the thought of wanting to feel his touch again.

Once she was a good distance away, she placed a hand on her cheek where Hitsugaya had touched and sighed looking towards the sky.

'Hitsugaya...You're one hard person to predict...' Reimei looked down, another thought crossing her mind, ' But I can't let things like this stop me from finding out the truth behind Aizen's plans. I have to stick to my role, even though I might end up hurting the people I care about.'

Closing her eyes, she clutched her fist and leaned against the many walls of Seireitei, thinking and praying that she wouldn't have to cross blades with someone she cared for, especially the one she adored.

OH NO she's in denial, mental conflict; to do or not to do. Will Hitsugaya's hint of affection make Reimei change her mind about joining Aizen? R&R!
