Uryu was fine within minutes of her healing and Orihime arrived after receiving the call of his attack, but Uryu knew he saw his attacker and recognized him and yet for some reason he couldn't say or recall who it was. Ryuuken ordered them home and it was silent for a few days, until one early morning a Shinigami came to her home and it was a Shinigami she hadn't seen in a decade.

Gin.

"I'm sorry tah say this…but Aizen got out of Muken and it seems he's interested in building an army, an army of those kids like the ones ya have," he said, "my bet that he's got his sights on yer kid, that little bunny," Usagi… "listen Yuzu, I'm gon' stay 'ere until we manage tah get him and arrest him again, he might've fought alongside us durin' the last War, but somethin' changed and he's out for somethin' and it's not tha Oken," her hand clenched into a fist.

"Gin, go home," she said, sky blue eyes snapped open, "I'm not weak, more than anyone you should know that you're not a match for him, I'm stronger than I was before if anyone is going to protect my daughter it will be me," Yuzu stated, "tell Otou-san, Ichigo and Karin to not bother to come, if Aizen Sosuke wants Usagi then he can come, but he will have to kill me before he can get his hands on my daughter,"

"Yu-tan…"

"Okaa-san?" Ayame looked at the shinigami, "what's going on?" the blonde asked,

"Ayame go inside," Yuzu said,

"I put everyone to sleep, what's going on?" she was met with silence, Gin looked into brown eyes and then he sighed out bemused,

"Ya gon' go and do everythin' by yerself gain' aren't ya?" her expression said enough, "don't think that I'm not gon' come if he shows up, got that? I'm gonna be here and ya can't stop me," those words being said he opened a Senkaimon and entered it, a white-silver reiatsu gathered around the woman's hand healing her wound only leaving blood as any trace of her previous frustration. Yuzu sent her daughter off to bed, but when she least expected it that man came.

"Show me your true power," Aizen said the woman struggled to her feet as she used the sword as support,

"Jigoku kara Koken'nin Shinigami," in an instant white, black, and silver Reiatsu skyrocketed and then surrounded the 27 year old's form in a swirl of strong wind and the Skull-Clad armor was silver(not golden), it framed her waist like a corset and covered her bust with claw-like shape, two other parts around her wrists and a skull mask on the left side of her head, her left eye was golden and it had a black sclera with a tattered black skirt with black thigh high heelless boots and the black scythe grew in size looking more menacing than before and finally.

"There it is," the two large wings that extended from her back, a black bat-shape like wing and a white feather wing, "stunning," his lips curled up as he raised his sword and she grasped the rod of the Scythe with both hands and pointed it at him with metachromatic eyes that were narrowed.

"If you dare lay your hands on my daughter, I will forget I ever considered you a friend and I will kill you,"

"Whoever said I considered you such a petty label?" her retorted and her eyes narrowed although she felt hurt, they had built a friendship before he was imprisoned again to pay for his crimes and maybe it had been too naïve on her part, but there were no time for regret, "such an interesting expression," both their footing shifted and they bolted.

Outside the barrier stood a group of people watching the battle with mixed reactions, amongst them were; Urahara Kisuke, Ichimaru Gin, Kurosaki Karin, Kurosaki Ichigo, Shiba Isshin and Kuchiki Rukia. It was a battle they could not interfere with and it was not a penetrable barrier through the inside or the out, so they had no other choice but wait and have faith in the woman's abilities and hopefully destroy the Hogyoku for good.

Inside the mansion's living room area sat and stood many 12 year olds and a frightened 8 year old who could feel the whole fight, she wouldn't stop trembling in her favorite brother's hold. "Mama…mama's hurting…" Usagi whimpered as Heisuke hugged her, "mama's angry…mama's in pain…mama's confused…" she cried into her brother's chest, "mama…mama's…!"

"Its alright," all 18 Fullbringers had their eyes drawn to the man who spoke with his hands in his pockets, Riruka's eyes widened in recognition 'Ginjo!' he took his hand out of his pocket and set it on the 8 year old's head who gasped, "I'm not letting that selfless idiot do everything on her, just sit tight and I'll bring her back," he said walking out the door, "Riruka," with one look it said it all, she gave a nod and turned towards the toddler.

"Usagi-chan, come here," Riruka said. Sparks clashed repeatedly, not a single word had been uttered and both had yet to say anything since the fight begun, but there was nothing to say. A black Reiatsu gathered around the blade of the Scythe and she swung across, 'Shiki' she thought watching him cut through it in which served to splitting the attack in two and she controlled the other half into attacking the man's chest devouring his Kosode and when it dissipated the Hogyoku was no longer in his chest.

His eyes flashed with anger and she sadly watched as he bolted at her, his sword pierced through her chest and she coughed out blood, "does it hurt?" he asked by her ear from where he stood behind her, "the feeling of betrayal or the pain of my blade piercing your lung?" she leaned forward and the Scythe clattered into the ground turning into liquid, "tell me, does it hurt?" her brown eyes dimmed as her arms hung at her sides.

"The betrayal…of a friend…I've felt…that years…ago…" she said 'Midori-chan…' was her sorrowful thought, "to be…truthful…both your… betrayal and…your blade…I don't feel…a thing…it's all numb…" his chocolate brown eyes widened in surprise, "I thought…of you as…a brother…but while you…were in Muken…I went through…so many things…that hardened…my heart…I can't find…myself to sympathize…with those I…considered friends…I can't and…that's what…really hurts…I changed…" Yuzu felt blood bubble up in her throat and she coughed out blood causing the blade to cut her more, but she felt nothing.

"You…" but before he could say anything a sword went through his torso "damn you," he looked back at the Fullbringer and before Ginjo could further attack him the woman's Fullbring disappeared and he pulled his sword and shot forward to catch her as the burnet fell to his knees, a hand holding his wound as blood dripped from his chin and he hit the ground as his eyes began to close and darkness clouded his vision.

"Mama…!" Usagi cried feeling a terrible cold feeling washing over her.

"Yuzu!" multiple voices shouted rushing to the scene.
