A/N: This is a little preview-part of a fic which I'm planning to do sometime hopefully this summer…

Be my rival no more…

The tall trees standing on the street sides were covered with emerald leafs and brightly colored cherry flowers, the gardens also shone in many different colors as the plants awoke from they long and peaceful sleep.

…it was finally spring in Soul Society.

A young woman was strolling through the streets of Siratei smiling, the spring was her favorite session because of al the beautiful flowers which started blooming. A warm breeze started to play with her raven colored locks which weren't bound back in her usual bun, brown eyes sparkled wit a happiness that most people feared would never return to her fully after what had happened seventeen years ago when she was betrayed like the whole Soul Society by her captain, the man she loved secretly and then two years later when the man become again through the probably most hurting ground for her heart.

"It is such a beautiful day." Hinamori said smiling as she reached the headquarters of the 4th Division. She asked for a transfer here shortly after Kurosaki Ichigo was named the new Captain of the 5th, she liked it here.

Reaching the front door she walked inside smiling, but the smile soon vanished and it was replaced by confusion as he spotted one of her two Divisions colegues on they fours and looking around in a rather panicked way.

"Uhm…Isane-san, Hanatarō-kun why are you both on the ground." she asked the vice-Captain and they 7th Seat.

"Uhm…hello Hinamori, you see the problem is that it is nearly two and well we well…I fear we lost Reina-chan and she needs to be in thirty minutes by the 12th Division, but we can't find her." Isane explained in panic.

"We are looking for her since two hours." Hanatarō added in as he looked under the desk.

"I see. Hinamori said as she decided to help out looking, but after ten minutes still nothing.

"We are death…" Isane whined.

"What is the ground for the noises." asked suddenly a gentle voice. Turning around they all spotted the Captain of the 4th Division Unohana Retsu standing there with a kind smile on her lips. The three already wanted to start explaining when they eyes fell on a little one year old girl gripping the white haori with her little hands.

"Reina-chan." Isane said as she looked at the child.

"I'm sorry if you two got worried, I should have informed you that Reina-chan started following me around by my daily routine with the patients." Unohana said as she picked the young girl up.

"That is really no problem Captain."

"Ah Hinamori-san could I please ask you a favor?" the older woman asked.

"Yes Captain Unohana." she answered.

"Could you please take Reina-chan to the 12th where her mother is at the moment? I still have some patients to look at and both Isane and Hanatarō need to clean up here." she said as she handed her over to the young woman who had paled a little bit, but forced a smile to her lips.

"Hai." Hinamori said as she turned around and walked out of the Division.

"Captain…uhm…do you think that it was a wise idea to send Hinamori…?" Isane asked in an unsure tone.

"I'm not sure Isane, but Hinamori needs to learn to accept only then can she start searching for happiness when she fully learns to let that go what she never possessed." the female Captain answered as she looked at the door through which her young subordinate disappeared. "You need to accept it Hinamori, Aizen has never fooled you with the shine of love in this was he honest with you, follow your heart, but as long as the chains of the past which you have created will not let you as long as you cling to that love."

Meanwhile was Hinamori walking along the street which would be the shortest way to the 12th Division. A sigh escaped her lips as she looked down in to those uniquely colored amber eyes of the child who looked so much alike to the person her heart felt anger for. Looking in to the child's eyes she thought that she spotted understanding flash in them regarding to her feelings, but she was only a child nearly one year old she was to young to understand. Sighing again she continued her way she had only twenty minutes left to get there. Why did Captain Unohana send her of al people? She knew how she felt about that person so why needed she to go?

"You don line us." said suddenly a soft, but still firm voice. Looking down Hinamori saw that Reina was looking at her intently as if reading every single of her thoughts. She decided against answering as suddenly the noise of screaming and running hit her ears. Looking at her watch she spotted that it was two and immediately walked closer to the wall. Soon enough was she passed by the new Captain of her old Division Kurosaki Ichigo.

"Hello Hinamori, hello Reina." the orange haired man said before continuing running.

"GET BACK HERE ICHI-NII/KUROSAKI AND DO YOUR PAPERWORK!" screamed suddenly two voices as new the vice-Captain of the 5th Division, a grown up Karin dashed after her brother beside her, her husband a now finally grown up looking Hisugaya Toshiro.

Hinamori looked after her old friend smiling after they have also greeted them, at least was Shiro-chan happy with the woman he loved. Hinamori waited by the wall knowing that this strange tag game was still not over and soon the whole 11th Division stormed in to the street after they Captain and vice-Captain dashing after Ichigo in a battle happy mode with they zanpakuto drawn. Hinamori needed to note that even if Yachiru was now a grown woman she still enjoyed to ride on Ken-chan's, as she still called Zaraki, back and Ikakku seemed now also in a good mode again then some years ago. The 3dh Seat hadn't taken it well when his long time friend had told they Division that he accepted the offer of his lover Shuhei Hisagi who was the new Captain of the 9th to be his vice-Captain. The two hadn't talked for months after that and Yumichika was devasted so Hisagi went to Ikakku and explained why he wanted Yumi to come to the 9th, since then was everything fine now. After the great dust cloud created by the 11th cleared passed the two Kuichiki lords by closely followed by a panting Abarai Renji and Matsumoto Rangiku taking up the rear. This was since years a routine sight every time at two in the afternoon. When the coast was fully clear again continued Hinamori her way, but the Reina's words still echoed in her head.

Finally reaching the 12th Division she already spotted Captain Kurotsuchi who was in a deep conversation with a man dressed in white. Hinamori swallowed hard and walked up to them.

"So we will need to get a new tissue from him to continue…" she heard Mayuri say and the other nodded thoughtfully.

Taking a new step closer the two scientist stopped they conversation which was as she guessed about getting new probes from Captain Kurosaki. The two men tried since years to figure out in to what he turned back then in the Winter War while fighting in Las Noches. Now were both men looking at her and Reina also started squirming somewhat.

"Well then I need to go now, have a good day Mayuri."

"You to Szayel I will see you then sometime." he replied in his most social way before walking back inside the labor.

"Well then thank you Hinamori for bringing Reina here." Szayel said as he took his daughter over from the Shinigami. "Would you like to take a little walk with me? I don't want to open the garganta inside Siratei."

Hinamori was a bit confused by the other's request and debated with herself if she should accept or not, but her lips answered without her soul agreeing and she soon found herself walking beside the slightly taller man. Walking out of the city there were some parts of the forest made in to parks with a few banks. Szayel stopped in front of such a bank under an ancient looking oak tree and ordered her to sit down which she did.

"Hinamori why exactly can't you stand me?" he asked in a soft tone which he probably only used by a few people.

"Uhm…what do you mean Szayel Aporro-san?" she asked nervously about what she had heard from Renji about the Octava was it not good to get on his bad side, by the war when he appeared and called a retreat for the Arrancar was she unconscious so she had only met him when the alliance between Soul Society and Hueco Mundo was formed.

"Then explain me why you go each time out of my way, you never look me in the eyes and if you do I can see the distaste in yours." Szayel said while only taking his eyes from the young woman who was now staring in to her lap to throw a side glance at Reina who was now curiously watching a few flowers a bit away from them. After a few minutes of silence Szayel softly placed his left hand on her's. "If it is because of Sosuke then I'm sorry, but even if he tricked everyone with his illusions he only gave you the feeling that he cared, but never the feeling that he loved you and I had never planned to fall in love with him. It happened and I have accepted it…"

Listening to the other Hinamori started to feel a bit guilty, he was right Aizen never acted as if he loved her that was her heart interpreting his actions as love. Finally looking in to the amber eyes of the other she allowed a little smile to appear on her lips as she shook her head softly.

"It is alright Szayel Aporro-san, I should be the one to apologize I have acted childish and isn't it actually that what everyone wishes that the one you love is happy and I haven't seen Captain Aizen ever so happy as when he is with you." she said softly as she felt warm tears running down her checks which were soon whipped away by warm glowed fingers.

"Yes it is that what everyone wishes for the one they love that they are happy and I'm sure that you will also find someone if you look carefully." Szayel said smiling as he suddenly felt the young woman lean on his shoulder with her eyes closed and a little smile on her lips. This also made the scientist smile a little, he had not much against the girl after they had become allies, but it bothered him that she seemed to feel this dislike for him so was this talk needed.

"By the way why was only Reina-chan here today?" Hinamori asked after a while when she suddenly realized that this was the first time she had seen the twins apart.

"Well little madam and our dear fearless leader had both managed to get a nice cold together and are now huddled up in bed and are in they option suffering. Really those two are really alike and Nnoitra calls me a Drama Queen." Szayel said while shaking his head and Hinamori started giggling as she imagined Aizen acting like a five years old would when they get sick. "Now we really need to go." and with that Szayel stood up and picked Reina up from the ground before opening a garganta.

When the gray swirling vortex opened ripping apart the dimensions Szayel turned around one last time smiling. "Ah and Hinamori if you want you can always ask Soi Fon, Ukitake or Ichigo to take you to Hueco Mundo, I think you wouldn't want to ask Mayuri for that type of help." he called before walking through the gate.

After it closed again Hinamori put her hands behind her back and looked up at the blue sky. Yes she loved springs…

…because they always held something special in them…
