'Turn Back the Pendulum' Arc

Chapter -1

Rebirth


It was exactly a day before Momo had returned. She began to wander around the large castle thinking back to what Aizen had said.

Flashback…

"Is there anything I can do for you Aizen-sama?"

"As a matter of fact, there is something you can do, Momo," He said letting his hands fall onto his lap. Momo got up and listened intently. By now the Destined Wielders were out of sight with Rukia. "I want you to do a mission for me."

Momo's eyes shone with determination to prove to her King that she was very strong and very helpful. She would kill anyone and anything just to prove her point. And when she said anyone and anything she had meant it. Aizen smiled gently causing her to blush.

"I want you to kill the Destined Wielders." Momo nodded, though Aizen was not finished yet. The task would be near impossible at the moment. She wasn't even strong enough to get to medium captain class level, though she was slowly progressing.

"Yes Aizen-sama."

"Momo, you are not strong enough to do this alone, but I have picked you especially, not because of power, but because of connections." Momo furrowed her eyebrows. Where was Aizen getting at? He noted her confused expression.

"You see Momo, Prince Toshiro is a Destined Wielder," No emotion crossed her face. If it were for Aizen she did not care much for Toshiro's wellbeing, maybe a little bit, maybe she would hesitate if she had to kill him, but her love for him paled in comparison of her love for Aizen. "He is not just a Destined Wielder, but the strongest. Though you easily have him on your side, since you have been gone for so long, anything you say could possibly be the truth to him." He let another pause break through so Momo could sync in the news. "The Destined Wielders need to be eliminated in order." He pulled a piece of parchment out of his clothing.

'1. Konata Shomaku—Wielder of Datsu

2. Yamiru Shuinjei—Wielder of Ekō no kage

3. Ingu Shai—Wielder of Haijuujaka

4. Hsariku Janee Shai—Wielder of Ukito Kiro

5. Marayuki Suki—Wielder of Yōsei

6. Tombi Gahato—Wielder of Zibarraru

7. Rukia Kuchiki—Wielder of Sode no Shirayuki'

There were two other Wielders left, Toshiro and Voritorna's wielder, but no one knew if Voritorna even had a weilder since her last one, Sasshumara, had her soul snatched out with almost no hope for reincarnation. Though, since Hyorinmaru managed to have a reincarnation anything was possible. The brown haired Akuma King only spared his son because of his power. The both of them together could have Hell and Heaven begging at their feet! The world could truly be his, and no one could do a single thing about it.

"Pardon me, King Aizen-sama, but may I spare Tombi Gahato-kun?" she whispered meekly.

"Of course. Do what you please. If she is of use to me, then she can live. I trust in you that you know how to perform this without flaw. Also, see to it that the blame is not directed towards you, some of them are very smart and hard to fool." A hidden twisted smile raced his features, though it was unnoticed by Hinamori. "And if you didn't know…Toshiro has forgotten you completely because of Rukia."

Fury and jealousy burned in the pit of Momo's stomach, yes, she knew that there were many things she has done wrong to Toshiro—e.g. leaving him for 10 years straight without so much as a single letter—but…she just couldn't bear to see him with someone else! How could he move on so easily? Didn't he love her? Or did that Kuchiki-girl seduce him? There had to be some reasonable explanation! There was no way he could've fallen in love with her by his own will!

"Thank you Aizen-sama, I will complete the mission without flaw."

'Besides killing Rukia first instead of last,' she finished in her mind.

Flashback…

Hinamori held her sword tightly in her hands.

'I will make Aizen-sama proud of me!'


A/N: Real short chapter. Hey, can't blame me though.

"Shh, don't wake him up…"

"You are evil, Ichigo…! He will—"

"Shut up Renji!"

Byakuya turned slightly to the side.

"You're gonna' wake him up!"

"Like hell I am! BYAKUYA! BYAKUYA—"

The raven-haired taichou held a frown on his face, even though he was in a deep rest.

"Ichigo…you are douchebag."

"Shut up, you're the one who put the ink on him."

"You blackmailed me! I was forced into this!"

Ichigo whirled the multiple embarrassing pictures around.

"Hehe...ain't blackmail a bitch. Anyways, tell Byakuya to stop being a prick all his life."

Renji's eye twitched.

"ICHIGO! CLEAN TAICHOU'S FACE RIGHT THIS INSTANT. "

"No."

"I'll kill you!'

Unbeknownst to the fighting captains, Byakuya was coming to consciousness. He groggily opened his eyes and glanced at the intruders. He then glanced in the mirror. His eyes flew open. Mother of God…

"Ichigo. Renji."

The mischievous pair turned slowly around, a frightened expression on their face.

"Y-yes, Byakuya-taichou-sama-dono?" they choked out extremely sweetly, hoping Byakuya wouldn't make them dig their own graves with their hands. The captain was surprisingly dark.

"What is this monstrosity on my face?" he hissed.

"Well, um, haha, you see…" the raven taichou's glare made Ichigo gulp. "Uh…Renji did it!"

"WHAT?"

"Renji," Kuchiki growled. "Go outside and dig your grave."

There was no point in trying to explain. "Do I at least get a shovel?"

"No. Use your fingernails."

"O-okay Byakuya." He muttered, dejected.
