The days that Ichigo and Co. invaded the Seireitei were too busy for them to get some time alone.

Then the day of the execution of Rukia Kuchiki came. She had a lot of doubts. She didn't see things the same as everyone else it seemed. When Aizen had been supposedly murdered, she looked upon the wall and saw two images overlapped. Each eye saw something different. One image was Aizen nailed to the wall by a blade. The other was a blade on the wall being held up by another blade. She was confused but said nothing.

Everything was off so the day before the execution she went to Squad Eleven and was greeted by Yumichika Ayasegawa.

"It's always nice to meet a fellow fifth seat," Yumichika said. He narrowed his eyes when he noticed the look in her eyes, "What's wrong Moria?"

"I don't really know," she mumbled, "I just wanted to check something before I did something drastic."

"Drastic?"

"I don't know."

Yumichika shook his head and offered her a drink. She accepted it and told him what she had seen.

"Why didn't you mention this earlier?" Yumichika asked.

"I was afraid," Moria said, "I'm only a fifth seat. I'm not that strong, and if what I saw was true then I would have a Captain after me that no one else could see, even if they wanted to."

Yumichika nodded and thought for a while.

"Yumichika who's this?" a voice asked from the door causing Moria to jump.

Yumichika turned to Ikkaku and spoke calmly, "This is the fifth seat of Squad Seven, Moria Hirako. She and I are good friends. We were just talking about something."

Ikkaku scowled and then asked, "Can you fight?"

"Not on the same level as you, sir."

Ikkaku grinned and then said, "Ikkaku will do fine Moria. I don't hear you calling Komamura, Captain Komamura."

Moria grinned slightly and then mumbled something that neither heard.

Yumichika frowned and then said to Ikkaku, "She came here for advice Ikkakui, have any?"

"Advice on what?"

Moria told him what she'd seen.

"You've followed your gut this far," Ikkaku said, "Keep going. Do you mind if I tell the Captain what you saw leaving out your name?"

"I don't mind," Moria said and stood, "I should go then; there is a lot I need to do."

That had been yesterday. Now she was heading for Sôkyoku hill. The battle was over for now, that she could sense. But something seemed off. She raced to the summit, hoping that she could make a difference.

When Isane's voice echoed in her mind she knew she had to hurry.

She reached the top just as Komamura did. She saw him swing his blade at Aizen and then he just yelled at Aizen, thinking that Aizen was still next to Gin. Just as he yelled bankai he looked down and saw Aizen.

This was the moment that Moria took. She flash stepped and attacked Aizen.

Her blade didn't even scratch his haori. He grabbed her and threw her at Komamura then released the black coffin around the both of them.

She felt the energy rip through her like hundreds upon thousands of blades. She felt the energy stop and then the both of them collapsed to the ground.

She landed facing Komamura, and saw how badly he was injured. She knew of her own injuries but his looked more severe.

Truth be told, she was injured even worse.

She passed out shortly after.

She didn't see Aizen removing the Hôgyoku from Rukia's soul.

She didn't see Tôsen suddenly betray Aizen after the Hôgyoku was removed.

When he attacked it was to try to kill Aizen. He was angry that his friends were injured but . . . he had needed to wait. His injuries from the battle with Kenpachi however, caught up to him. His attacks were slowed and weakened by those injuries.

He didn't stand a chance. Aizen glared at him and nearly killed him with a slash of his blade. He then held Rukia up for Gin to kill, only for her to be saved last second by Byakuya.

Yoruichi showed up with Soi Fon and then Aizen and Gin escaped with the Menos Grande.

End Chapter 11

i While using spell-check, the most curious thing happened. Spell-check offered me "Pikachu" to correct the spelling of Ikkaku.
