A.N: Oh my God, I am soooooooo sorry that this chapter took me so bloody long! It's just that I went on vacation then my computer thought it would be fun to break and after I waited two freaking weeks to get it back it thought it'd be even more fun to break not one more time, not two more times, but THREE FUCKING MORE TIMES! !#$#$!#$!#$!#$!$%!%#%! Technology just moved up on my list of things that hate me. Right below small birds. Despite how horrible a sense of humor my laptop has, I really hope you enjoy the chapter.

Brooke's Words of Wisdom: I wonder who was the first person to look at a chicken and say 'I'm going to eat the first thing that comes out of it's butt.'

Brooke

"….. What 'cha doing?" I asked looking over at Grimmjow. We're currently all sitting around on the ice as Grimmjow tried to catch us some food. It was free time and Katie, Grimmjow and I had decided that we were going to tackle ice fishing after Kitty-san declared that he was an expert fisherman.

"HEY! Are you staring at by chest? Why are you staring at my boobs!" I said as I crossed my arms over my chest after I caught his eyes looking a little lower than my face. I struggled not to laugh at the indignant look he wore while trying to remain appauled.

"I'm not staring at your chest." He scoffed regaining his composer as he turned away from me.

"Are you saying that my boobs aren't good enough for you?" I said, my voice going up a few octaves as I spoke.

"Ok Grimmy!" Kat said popping up beside me, grabbing him by the shoulders and spinning him towards us. "You have two options, you can say yes or no. Both answers are WRONG, so pick wisely." I laughed at the guy and we watched as steam poured out of his ears while he figured out how to answer.

"Oh and if you don't answer, Brooke will think of the worse scenario possible and then you'll be really screwed." Kat shoved the kitty towards me and poked him until he gave an answer.

"Umm…" Grimmjow scratched his head and I fake gasped again.

"FINE! If that's how you really feel!" I then stormed off the ice in a mock rage and went for a walk. As I walked off the ice I heard Grimmjow and Katie arguing loudly on the ice causing me to smirk as I entered the woods. Looking up at the trees I figured that it was the perfect time to take a little 'me' break and to get away from the bickering of the sixth graders before heading back onto the ice to taunt Grimmy some more.

Resting my back up against a tree, I looked up at the sky and enjoyed the peace and quiet. As I stood there something in the distance broke my tranquility annoying me slightly. Deciding it was time to investigate, I began trudging through the snow as quietly as I could towards the sounds. When I was closer I realized that two people were talking quietly. Listening even closer I realized that I recognized the voices. It was Rangiku and Toshiro!

Obviously if they were trying this hard to be quiet and sneaky it couldn't be good, so I snuck even closer to try and hear what they were saying.

"…appears that we were correct." I heard Toshiro state. Shifting where I was, I tried to get closer so I could hear them better without drawing their attention.

"Wait so you mean…" Rangiku trailed off sounding really confused and worried. This only made me even more anxious to hear what they were talking about seeing as our busty orange haired friend was rarely serious.

"Yes, I mean to say that it seems that-" It seemed that fate decided that this was the perfect time to ruin my life, once again, as I lost my footing and as I tried to regain my balance my foot stepped loudly on a twig, effectively drawing the two soul reapers attention.

"Who's there?" From my spot hiding behind a nearby tree I could hear the short captain yell in my general direction and I knew I had been caught. Sighing in defeat, I stepped out from behind the tree with my hands raised in a sign of surrender.

"Calm down Shorty, it's just me." I spoke nonchalantly but when Toshiro didn't even try to correct me in how to properly address him I knew that I had been right in believing the two had been discussing something very important. "What's up?"

"Oh, uh, nothing! Captain hear was simple reminding me to work on my paperwork while we're, that's all." Rangiku replied sheepishly causing me to raise an eye brow at her answer.

"That must be some pretty important paperwork then, figuring that 'Shiro over there didn't even react to my Shorty comment." I pointed out as I walked over to them.

"How much did you hear?" Toshiro demanded.

"From the 'we were correct' comment." I told them and Toshiro seemed to relax a little realizing that I hadn't heard anything devastating which only made me want to know what they had been talking about more. "By the way, what were you correct about?" My inquiry seemed to make Toshiro tense back up. What could they have been right about? Maybe they knew that Katie, Fran and I were still working for Aizen. But that couldn't be true seeing as they didn't seem to be upset that I was there, just that I had heard them talking.

"When you need to know you will be told." Toshiro told me. Raising an eyebrow skeptically, I crossed my arms defiantly over my chest before speaking again.

"If it deals with my friends or me then I need to know now." The midget Captain glared slightly at my stubborn defiance but there was no way that I was going to back down.

"Maybe we should tell her Captain, she's right and it's not like she's not going to find out soon anyway." Rangiku pointed out causing me to smile triumphantly, happy that I had the carrot top on my side. Tapping my foot as I waited for a responds I watched Toshiro glance between Rangiku and me before giving up and sighing.

"Fine." I felt my body tense slightly as I waited for Toshiro to fill me in on the secret of the hour, almost as if my body was trying to prepare me for the bad news that was sure to come. "We've had our suspicions for a while but it appears that some of your 'friends' are actually in fact working for Aizen. They may even be Arrancars masquerading as humans." While Toshiro spoke I feel my jaw drop slightly and my eyes widen. Questions flooded my brain as I tried to figure out what I'd just been told.

The Soul Reapers knew.

They FUCKING KNEW!

"Wh-what?" I stuttered slightly as I tried to by myself more time to figure out what to do.

"We believe that Aizen has planted agents in your school to befriend you so that he can keep any eye on the three of you." Crap, they really did know. Stepping backwards slightly, I knew that I needed to get to Katie and tell her what I'd just found out.

"That c-can't be right… I need to talk to Katie." And with that I turned around and started sprinting in the opposite direction. As I ran I could hear Rangiku calling after me but I had a head start and I doubted that either Soul Reaper was going to try and stop me.

By the time I got onto the frozen lake I noticed that everyone was going in. Running up to my friend who was trying to usher the munchkins back to the main lodge I grabbed her arm and pulled her with me and away from the group.

"What the hell Brooke?" Katie demanded as I looked for a secluded place to inform her on what I'd found out. When I finally stopped Katie leaned against a tree while staring at me quizzically. She was panting slightly from having to full out sprint while being decked out in winter gear that she really didn't need.

"I ran into Rangiku and Toshiro." I told her bluntly while I bounced on the balls of my feet. Despite having sprinted double the distance that Katie had I could feel electricity bouncing from cell to cell in agitation.

"Yeah, and?" She spoke slowly trying to calm my nerves but she hadn't been the one to have found out that the Soul Reapers knew about the 'Spada so she didn't realize how hopeless her attempt was.

"They know about the 'Spada!" I blurted out to see her expression change from confused to just plain dumbfounded.

"They what?" She demanded finally seeing why I was acting so weird and how dire the situation was.

"They know that the guys are Arrancars." I then proceeded to tell Katie how exactly I came to figure this out. As I talked I could clearly see on her face just how worried she was and I could tell that she was just as confused as I was as to how the Soul Reapers this whole thing out.

"So what are we supposed to do?" Katie asked finally.

"I have no bloody idea; I just wish I knew what they were going to do with information now that they have it. Now that they know they could try to harm the guys!" The very idea of my friends getting hurt formed a knot in my stomach.

"I think we need to figure out a way to talk to one of the 'Spada. Maybe one of them will know what to do." Katie suggested. The very idea of getting help sounded extremely appeasing to me, but there was one big problem.

"Rangiku and Toshiro at the very will be looking for us seeing as I ran off and they know it was to go find you and if they see us talking with one of the 'Spada they might figure out that we're still working with Aizen." I pointed out only to see the oh so familiar spark appear in Katie's eye.

"They we're just going to have to be very sneaky."

Apparently being sneaky means hiding in a closet and grabbing the first 'Spada that walks by. We decided that only one of us would be do this to lower the chances of getting caught. This so happened to be me. Currently I was basically being raped by a vacuumed cleaner while I waited by the door to grab a 'Spada and tell them to meet us in the woods in a half hour. Finally I saw a shadow in front of the door with a Reishi signal attached to it that I recognized.

"Ah-mmph!" Grimmjow yelled before I covered his mouth with my hand while motioning him to be quiet. "What the hell are you doing in here woman?" He demanded quietly as soon as I uncovered his mouth.

"Hiding in a closet with you. Geeze Puma-Sempai, keep up." I told. Even in the limited light of the closet I could see him glaring at me, but I chose to ignore it. "But seriously. I need you to meet Katie and me in the woods on the other side of the lake in a half an hour, go it?" He nodded slowly, probably wondering what kind of drugs I was on, causing me to smile. "Good." And with that I pushed him out of the closet and re-closed the door behind him.

"What was that all about?" I heard a muffled voice ask my sempai.

"It's fucking messy as hell in there." I couldn't help but snicker slightly as I heard two sets a footsteps fad away. Once I was sure that no one was nearby, I snuck out of the closet and back outside to find Katie.

"Who'd you get?" Katie asked as I made my way back over to her.

"Grimmjow." I told her only to get a smirk back.

"Well that must have been an awkward conversation." She said slyly.

"What do you mean?" I asked feeling really confused, I just told him to meet us in the woods in a half an hour, what's so awkward about that?

"You, and him, stuck in a dark closet together…." Katie trailed off smirking evilly at me.

"Sh-Shut Up!" I yelled despite the light blush creeping onto my cheeks. Kat laughed at my reaction before I tried to kill her.

Half an hour later Grimmjow came trudging through the deep snow looking for Katie and myself. I'd quit trying to kill my curly headed friend and we were now trying to figure out how to tell Grimmjow what's going on without him trying to go kill someone.

"What do you guys want?" The blue haired 'Spada asked as he walked over to us, obviously feeling a little annoyed about having to walk all the way over here just to talk to us.

"I overheard some important news from the Soul Reapers and Katie and I thought it would be best to make sure a 'Spada knew what was going on before we could figure out what we should do." I told him, knowing not to break the information to him as bluntly as I had Katie in fear of the repercussions.

"So? It's not like those Soul Reapers are much of a threat." Grimmjow shrugged before sticking his hands in his coat pockets. I momentarily wondered if, even after finding out what happened in the Manga, if he really felt that confident.

"You see apparently-" Katie was cut off before she could inform Grimmjow of what was going on by two familiar Reishi signals.

"Guys!" Turning my head to the left I was still surprised to see Fran and Ulquiorra standing side by side.

"Fran! Ulquiorra! What are you guys doing here?" Katie asked as we temporarily forgot about filling Grimmjow in on to what was happening with the Soul Reapers.

"It's the Soul Reapers, they-"

"Know about the 'Spada pretending to be teens at school, we already know." It was Katie's turn to cut Fran off this time. Despite Katie's almost nonchalant way of speaking Fran still seemed rather jumpy as she waved her hands in front of her to dismiss Kat's words.

"They WHAT?" Grimmjow demanded but we ignored the angry blue kitty.

"No, it's worse than that." Fran spoke sounding strangely foreboding compared to her usually hyper exterior, "They've decided to relocate us." Instantly Katie and I froze in place. They were going to do WHAT!

"WHAT?" Grimmjow demanded what I knew both Katie and I were thinking.

"What he said!"

"I overheard a Captain's meeting and they said that they didn't think we were safe living alone with some of our classmates working for Aizen so they're relocating us." I couldn't believe it, they were going to make us leave the 'Spada, again! While Fran told us the story of how Aizen had sent her to the Soul Society to spy on the Soul Reapers I sat in the snow and tried to figure out what we were should do now.

"Maybe we should contact Aizen and ask him what he wants us to do?" Katie suggested after Fran had finished speaking.

"No!" Fran objected before anyone else got the chance to. We all turned to stare at her, causing her to blush slightly as we waited for an explanation. "Whenever I've been around him lately I get this feeling that he's up to something bad and I don't like it."

"Then it's probably a good idea to handle this ourselves." Katie agreed causing Grimmjow to sigh noisily.

"If that's so then what are we supposed to do?" he demanded sounding extremely impatient.

"Well we could always agree to go with the Soul Reapers." I suggested getting a lot of weird looks from my friends. "Just hear me out, if we go with them there's less of a chance that they'll suspect that we're working against them and while we're there we can try to persuade them into believing out friends are nothing but human."

"And what happened when you can't persuade them?" Grimmjow demanded, it seemed like nothing could make him happy.

"Then you get to play the part of the knight in shining armor and rescue us damsels in distress." I placed a hand over my heart mockingly as Katie rolled her eyes at me.

"Come on Brooke, be serious." She chastised despite the fact I was, in fact, quite serious. Except the part about being a damsel in distress of course.

"No, I think Brooke has a point," Fran defended for me, "it may be the only option we have that won't make it impossible for us to return to normal after awhile." Both of us turned to Katie to see if she'd be on board with our decision or if she'd make us find a new plan.

"Fine." She sighed, relenting to Fran and me causing quite an uproar in the peanut gallery.

"Whoa, there is no fucking way you three are just going to go with the Soul Reapers." Grimmjow objected.

"Come off it Grimmjow, you forget that they want to do this to try and protect us. We'll be fine" I told him only to get a glare in return.

"She's right Grimmjow. This is our best bet of keeping any advantages that we may have." Ulquiorra agreed, although I could tell he didn't like the idea based on how protectively he was holding Fran. After that we decided it was best if Katie, Fran and I separated from Ulquiorra and Grimmjow before going to find Rangiku. Katie was upset because she wouldn't be able to say good bye to Stark but she knew that she couldn't risk being seen by a Soul Reaper.

We ended up finding the Soul Reapers having a mini 'meeting' in the middle of the woods thanks to the sheer amount of Reishi they gave off and Fran, who is the master seeker in 'Hide 'N Go Seek'.

"Guys!" Rangiku shouted when she saw us. Instantly the entire ensemble of Shinigami turned to look at us, "Oh my Kami, we were so worried about you!" She told us as she ran up and gave us all a hug.

"Looks like we won't need to have a search party." Ikkaku joked before getting elbowed by Shuuhei.

"Hey Fran, where did you come from?" Renji asked noticing the sudden appearance of our friend.

"I overheard what you guys said about the Arrancar and the relocating at the Captain's meeting so I got here as fast as I could to tell Katie and Brooke what was going on." She explained. Luckily no one asked about how she left the Soul Society or how she got here so fast.

"I'm so sorry about scaring you Brooke, I didn't know it would freak you out that bad." Rangiku apologized and I realized that that's why they thought I ran off.

"It's okay, I'm just glad we know what's going on?" I said although it sounded a little bit like a question more than a statement.

"In any case it'd be best if we leave now rather than wait for the Arrancar to figure out that something's up." Toshiro stated causing the others to agree with him as Katie and I shared a look. They really don't have a clue, do they? "Let's move out."

END CHAPTER!
