Okay this chapter was going to be longer at first but I changed it into two chapters so in the next one orihime should get her stronger Tsubaki. Some questions are finally answered in this chapter. Like why Aizen is out to kill the spirit king. Well why I think he is that is…anyways.

Chapter 25: True Freedom

( Aizen pov )

"Well it appears everything about ready…hime-chan." I said eyeing the key.

It wouldn't be long now. Soon it would be truly formed.

And…all the actors have come now.

"The final act is about to start hime-chan. But do not worry. You will not be recasted! Because you will go all out to the end. A beautiful ending for the spirit hime. That died in a pool of her own blood! Think of it! You gave me the future that should really be!" I grinned as I took a piece of her hair into my hand.

"But its sad…isn't it? You never saw it coming. It's so sad…that it makes me want to cry." I slowly shook my head as I let go of her hair slowly. "Can you feel it? The angrier your shinigamis feel toward me? But tell me something…how could you save them but not yourself? Hmm?" I asked her.

I knew no answer would come.

"It was hopeless in the beginning to the very end. But it appears only you did not know this…but worry not." I told her as I head the door quickly open. "Because…it all ends now, hime-chan." I said as I slowly turned toward the door. "Welcome to the final act, Captain Hitsugaya." I said grinning toward the short captain.

"AIZEN!" He yelled running toward me. "My, what angrier you have." I said as he held his zanpakutou toward my neck. "Can it! What have you done with hime?!" Hitsugaya yelled at me. "Oh? Hime-chan? You can't see her? She is right behind me." I told him as I stepped aside.

( Toushirou pov )

I slowly shook my head at what I saw. "No…no…no!" I yelled seeing her lying in a pool of blood. "What this? What this you're doing?!" I yelled to Aizen. "Hmm…I guess it is partly my fault." He told me.

"But it only took one stab in her arm for this to happen. I guess you could say it started a chain reaction in her body. Blood just started to come out everywhere." Aizen told me. "Shut up." I whispered. "It sure was something. She couldn't stop it. No matter how hard she tried. She really is a powerless hime isn't she?" Aizen asked.

"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!! Everything is your fault! Everything!!" I yelled feeling my zanpakutou shake in my hand. "Oh? Is it now? Are you sure of this?" Aizen asked. "What?" I asked him in return. "You wish to place the blame on me. When I am only giving back a true future. A future without laws; like the laws the spirit king made for not just shinigamis. But laws for humans as well as hollows. I am returning a true freedom to all worlds!" Aizen said as he pulled out his zanpakutou.

He had gone…far beyond crazy. Nothing made sense anymore coming from his mouth.

"Aizen…" I couldn't get another word out of my mouth. "And the only way to get to the spirit king was first to get the king's key. That was sealed within his first daughter. A small price to pay. Now all is left is to wait for her to die. Then the door way to the spirit king's world will appear. Then…then on to kill him! And then! There will be true freedom!" Aizen laughed.

How? How had he planned out everything so well?

How could everything fell into place so well?

"What do you have to say to that captain Hitsugaya?" Aizen asked me. I slowly shook my head. "This is nothing but madness. How could someone want freedom at a price as high as this?!" I asked him in angrier. "High? No, no! It isn't high at all. One sacrifice is nothing." Aizen quickly said.

Sac…Sacrifice?!

"…" I slowly looked toward the ground. "The spirit hime was never meant to live within this world. Or any world for that matter." Aizen told me. "…what gives you the right to say that?! What give you the right to pick a future for shinigamis, humans and even hollows?! You're not god!" I yelled. "…hmm I guess we cannot see eye to eye then." Aizen said shaking his head a bit.

"Bankai…" I whispered as Ice quickly covered my right arm. Soon wings of ice appeared on my back. "Dai Guren Hyourinmaru." I said glaring toward Aizen. "Well…well this is like déjà vu all over again." Aizen said with a grin across his face. "What?" I asked. "But this time…it isn't Hinamori face down in blood. It's hime-chan."

He had gone too far now.

"How…how dare you bring that up!" I yelled. "Careful…last time you about died with Hinamori because of your angier." Aizen warned me. "…You bastard! How dare you use people like this!" I yelled as I flied toward him. "This time you may lose them both, captain Hitsugaya." Aizen said holding his zanpakutou out before himself. "No! I will protect them both!" I yelled flying toward him.

Aizen grinned as he quickly disappeared. "What?" I asked stopping in my tracks. "Kudakero." Aizen voice said from behind me. I felt something quickly cut my right shoulder. Soon blood came out of my right shoulder. "N…no…" I whispered as I fell to the ground.

"It just like last time isn't it captain Hitsugaya? You couldn't do anything after all." He told me. "…you used Kyouka suigetsu?" I asked. "Ah, so you finally see it. It's too bad it was too late, isn't it? But don't worry I'll let you die with hime." Aizen told me. "No…damnit. I-I couldn't do a…a thing. I-I couldn't save…" I whispered looking toward her.

"Don't worry it shouldn't be long now. Her death will come soon. Then the door to the king's world will appear. But let me help you join her." Aizen said as he stood over me.

I couldn't even lift my zanpakutou.

I felt my bankai disappear soon. I had lost too much blood. I couldn't even see state.

"Hajike, Tobiume!" A voice yelled as orbs of spirit power came flying toward Aizen. He quickly jumped out of the way. "…that voice…" I thought. "whitey-chan!" Hinamori cried as she ran up to me. "H-Hinamori?" I asked picking up my head. "Oh no. you're bleeding heavy!" she cried. "You idiot! Get out of here!" I yelled. "But!" She cried. "This is a lost battle! You're be killed if you stay!" I yelled at her.

"Well…well how nice it is to see you again. Hinamori momo." Aizen said smiling toward her. "A-Aizen-sama…" She whispered. "Hinamori! Don't fall for his tricks remember what he's done!" I yelled to her. "A-Aizen-sama. No, Aizen why? No how could you do this to s-san? Why do you keep…hurting people? I-I thought! I thought!" hinamori started to say. "What? That I was there to follow a little girl's words. And be good and do as I am told? You really are stupid." Aizen quickly said. "A-Aizen?" Hinamori asked. "You still believed in me even after I tried to kill you. You didn't get it last time. So I'll say it different this time. I have no longer a need for you!" Aizen said as he held his zanpakutou over his head.

H-Hinamori!

She stood back a bit in fear. But she wouldn't move anymore.

Maybe she didn't know what to do then. She looked up to Aizen after all. And maybe…even loved him.

But if that idiot stay like that. She would be…I thought.

You have that power to protect friends and love ones.

The power to protect…

"Souten ni zase…Hyourinmaru!" I yelled getting to my knees forming an Ice dragon. Aizen quickly stopped in his tracks as the ice dragon came toward him. "Whitey-chan!" Hinamori cried. "I see...I guess you're not out for the count." Aizen said backing up a bit. "Of course n-not…" I said breathing heavy.

"Whitey-chan…" Hinamori whispered to me. "Hinamori take sa-san and get out of here." I told her. "What? But I can't leave you here like this!" she cried. "Idiot! Did you forget why we came here to start with?" I asked her. "n-no of course not. We came to save s-san." Hinamori quickly said. "Then what's the point in staying if we lose here? Are whole goal was to save her! Everything will be lost if she dies here!!" I yelled.

"Yes…your right." Hinamori slowly said. "Good get going then." I yelled slowly looking toward aizen.

I would have to hold him off so Hinamori could get too safely with sa-san. It was the only choose I had.

"You really believe that will work? She will die before you leave here." Aizen told me. "You don't know that." I told him. "Really? How long do you think she been like that? Hmm? Well let me tell you…it been about three hours now." Aizen told me. "W-what?" I asked. "I must say I'm surprised she still alive after this long. And by how much blood she lost." I slowly shook my head.

If we tried to move here….she would die.

"Hinamori!" I yelled back to her. "…no. he's right…she far too weak to move." Hinamori cried. "Would I lie about something as this?" Aizen asked.

But if we couldn't move her…how could we take her back to the soul society for healing?!

"Do you see now? That it was all useless? All for nothing? You're spirit hime is lost!" Aizen quickly told us. I quickly shook my head.

How? How could there be nothing we could do? This just couldn't be right!

Soon an object beside sa-san started to glow brightly.

"Yes! It's done! It's finally done!" Aizen yelled staring toward the object. "The king's key is complete!" He laughed. "…the key?" I asked in shock. "The final act is about to come to a close." Aizen said as he started toward the key.

That small item…was the problem. Was the reason why so much happened. Just like so much happened when Aizen was after the Hougyoku.

Something still didn't add up. Why did…he want freedom for the future so…badly?

"Yes…yes! It's…it's all mine!" Aizen yelled as a cero knocked the key away from him. "In your fucking dreams…you dirty bastard!" A voice yelled toward us. The three of us slowly looked toward the voice.

The blue hair Arrancar stood there.

"Grimmjow? What in the world are you doing here?" Aizen asked him. "You aren't getting the key. Why should I let a dirty shinigami remake the future? When I can!" Grimmjow yelled.

Freedom has a price no matter who are you. There is no god in the soul society or in Hueco Mundo.

That is why everyone has to make their own future with their own hands.

Author note: okay I guess I should talk about two things here.

First Aizen's zanpakutou. First Kurdakero means break. His zanpakutou can trick all senses of a person. Meaning he can make a copy of himself for people to fight. Well that's where the name of his zanpakuto comes from really. Kyouka Suigetsu means Mirror Flower water Moon.

Second Hinamori's zanpakutou. Is called Tobiume with means Flying Plum. Her release command Hajiku means snap. I hope that clears something up.
