Well on with the story!
I stared out the window seeing Ichigo's belongs being moved out of the house and onto a truck. The human girl was outside with Ichigo, holding his arm as she frowned at him. Turning my gaze I saw Masaki arguing with the Isshin while the twins clung to their mother unable to understand what was happening. I trailed my eyes slowly back to Ichigo's frowning face as the human spoke to him. I closed my eyes, letting out a deep sigh. I leaned my forehead and put my hand against the window glass. I knew this was going to happen, but I wasn't ready and that's what made it hurt all the more. There was so much pain that I was drowning, unable to breath, but at least this separation wasn't permanent, right? It took me eight years to find him and in a matter of minutes I lost him once again. A knock on the door made me straighten myself up, the door opening to reveal the elder bowing.
"Elder Yamamoto it's nice to see you are doing well," I said in a flat tone. He straighten himself as I motioned for him to sit. He wore his black traditional clothes while holding his brown cane in one hand. "Your brother already informed me about the attack."
I moved to the window to look out once more ignoring his statement. It seemed that Ichigo and the human were the only ones that remained.
"I wish to speak with you about another matter, the one concerning about the information on the mayor," I said keeping my eyes on Ichigo who scanned the house before his eyes settled on my window. His amber eyes narrowing at me, hate and resentment is that all he feels for me now?
"What about it?" Yamamoto called out making me to turn to him.
"Who was the one to give you the information?"
I heard him grunt in annoyance as he narrowed his eyes at me.
"It was Aizen,"
I pulled my gaze away from Ichigo and narrowed my eyes at the elder.
"And who informed Aizen?"
"I do not know, he did not say."
I frowned at his response, why would Aizen refuse to say?
"Your highness I wish to discuss the matter about Uryu I think it will be best if we exec-"
"No! Leave him to no one is to touch him"

When we arrived at Masaki's house I felt awkward. I felt like a stranger in a foreign country. The small house was the very same one they used to have in Karakura Town due to the fact Masaki made a small requested to Rukia that she wished for the same house. I looked around the room finding the same baby toys, blankets and clothes were placed exactly the way they were in the old house. I let out a deep sigh as I flopped myself on the bed as my mind wondered to Rukia. In my heart I wanted to believe her, but my mind raced with questions and doubts. I didn't know how to deal with it. It was too much for me handle all at once. Not only that, but I had told Orihime the truth about her brother; she hasn't spoken a word to me since we got here. I let out another deep sigh when something caught my eye. A small lavender photo book was laid on top of the nightstand. I reached over carefully retrieving it, afraid of damaging it. It was very small and light containing no more than four pictures. I opened it slowly to reveal a photo of both my parents looking the same as they did now. They stood outside of their house, smiling at each other while Isshin's hand was over Masaki's swollen belly; she was pregnant. I turned the page to find one of Rukia and Masaki. One where Masaki was standing in a field of sunflowers looking down at Rukia who was kneeling in front of her, both of Rukia's hands on Masaki's belly as she smiled. I felt my lips pull into a smile while the tips of my fingers brush over Rukia's image, she looked so happy. I slowly turned to the next page and felt a pang of pain, there was Rukia sleeping on the couch as she cuddled and wrapped her arms protectively around an orange hair baby. The baby seemed to be sound asleep while it sucked on its thumb on one hand while the other rested on Rukia's cheek. I slowly turned over the page once more revealing the last photo of Rukia at the beach with an orange hair boy no older than two years old. They were standing in the ocean just barely having their feet touching the water while Rukia held her white dress up making sure it wouldn't get wet while her other hand held the boy's. He was smiling up at Rukia who in return smiled back. I closed my eyes, guilt eating away at me; she's done nothing but love me.
"Deep down you know that she cares for you deeply." I turned to see Masaki at the door carrying empty boxes, her wavy brown hair tied back. She walked over to me setting the empty boxes on the floor and peered over to see the photo, "Ahhh, that was on your second birthday, I remember you wanted to go to the beach, but we had told you no so you started to cry your eyes out." she said smiling, recalling the memory.
"What happen when I wouldn't stop crying," I asked turning my gaze back at the photo.
"Oh, after eight minutes of your temper tantrum Rukia couldn't stand to see you cry any longer and gave in," she said laughing. I felt my heart tighten as a knot formed in my throat. She's always been looking out for me, protecting me, but she need to understand that I'm no longer the little boy I was, I no longer want to stand behind her but instead I want to stand besides her. I closed the album and looked at Masaki who was still remembering the memory.
"Do you think I made the right choice?" I whispered. She turned to me her brown eyes soften.
"Whether it was right or wrong, only you know the answer, but listen to what I'll tell you Ichigo, there's a reason behind every action Rukia has taken," and with that she got up to leave.
"Hey wait your album!" I called out making her turn towards me, smiling.
"You keep it, it doesn't belong to me anyway, oh and I brought you some boxes to pack your baby stuff" she quickly said and left closing the door behind her. I frowned at what she said, if it's not her's then who's is it. I looked back at the album and turned it to the back, there on the lower left corner was Rukia's name written in a silver color. I closed my eyes, squeezing the album against my chest as I slowly curled in bed, wanting to forget my mistake.
(T.T)
I burst through the door making them turn my way. I narrowed my eyes the three figures and slowly walked over to sit at the head of the table in the council room. The spacious room was wide and tall with no windows or decorations, it only had a large table with four chairs at the center of the room, the air had a musty smell to it. I looked at the three in the room in complete irritation. Rangiku had burst in my room too early in the morning informing me I was needed in council room where Aizen, Gin and Hisagi waited for me.
"You look as lovely as ever your highness," Gin said with a mischievous grin. I heard Hisagi curse under his breath while Aizen chuckled. I glared at him biting back a snarled.
"What is it that you want, I don't have time for this," I hissed.
"Seems someone isn't in the mood," Gin said, his smile still intact.
"I believe she lost her toy yesterday, that might be the reason for her foul mood," Aizen commented his eyes resting upon me.
"The reason for my foul mood is that I can't comprehend how someone as incompetent as you can be a clan leader let alone one of my suitors," I stated in a flat tone. Anger flashed in his eyes as he clenched his jaw, eyes narrowed to slits. "It seems all I can expect from you is failure. Tell me Aizen have you ever wonder what would happen to my kingdom if I were to chose you?"
"What are you saying?" he gritted out.
"You failed to protect my sister, her funeral services destroyed by your failure, you also failed to keep our banquet safe and then yesterday you failed once again, failure seems to be your only path."
"I don't need to hear this from you! " he sneered as he slammed a hand on the table. I quickly reached to grab one of my hair accessories that concealed a knife and pierced it through his hand making him hiss. I dug the knife in deeper, twisting it as blood spilled into a puddle around his hand.
"You may been one of my suitors Aizen, but that does not mean you are an equal in status with me therefore you shall show me respect," I hissed retrieving the knife back, "Who gave you the information concerning the mayor?" I asked him.
"An informant that I had" he gritted as he threw a look at Gin and Hisagi who offered no help.
I raised a brow at him, "Had?"
"Yes I found him dead yesterday night."
"Hmmm, so not only did you have a human as informant you also failed to tell ask me for permission, but how convenient is it that your human died, sometimes it makes me think that everything you say are lies."
"Are you trying to imply that I'm a traitor?"
"Take it however you want," I snarled. Leaving me glaring at Aizen as he glared back wiping away the blood on his already healed hand.
"We only came to see if her highness was doing well," Hisagi finally spoke up breaking the silence. I turned my attention to him, putting on the cold expressionless face I learned from my brother. I stood up and left the room without answering Hisagi's question. Fools they only came to confirm Ichigo's departure. I made my way towards the backyard and stood in front of the roses. The sun was just rising making the flowers cast long shadows. The feeling of loneliness creeping inside of me, I wonder if he's sleeping right now…Ichigo. I let out a deep sigh closing my eyes feeling the warmness of the sun.
"I know your both there," I called out opening my eyes and turning to see Urahara and Yoruichi kneeling before me, "Do have something to tell me?"
Slowly Urahara pulled out a black box from the inside of his stripe kimono. I carefully reached out for the black box and opened it. There on the little silk pillow was a plain silver plated bracelet. I looked down at Urahara confused.
"Its serves as a second pendant so you wont have to worry about the sun anymore," he explained straitening himself up and then helping Yoruichi before walking towards me taking the silver bracelet in his hands clasping it over my right wrist. I looked at him in surprise as I pulled my wrist away. I can't wear silver not when it was the one thing that can hurt Ichigo, I reached over to unclasp it but Urahara's hand stopped me I looked up at him as he took on a serious expression one he rarely took, "Please your highness, I only wish for your well being so please do not take it off."
"Why?" I asked.
"Let's just say it's to help keep your secret safe, but let me tell that this will also restrict your power," he said before stepping back too Yoruichi.
"Thank you," I whispered and gave them a small smile.
"Your highness I would like to request an investigation," Yoruichi said seriously while Urahara looked away. I raised my brow as she continued, "On Aizen. My subordinates told me they spotted him with a half breed a week ago, but whether its true or not I do not know, but ple-"
"Granted, Aizen has the word traitor written all over him and the fact that he's one of my suitors makes it hard for me to make a claim," I said.
She bowed her head and turned to Urahara who just looked at the ground with a serious look.
"Urahara?" I called out, startling him as he looked around as if he forgot where he was before setting his eyes on me, "Is that all?"
"No, I have one more thing" he spoke softly, unsure if he should tell me, "I found it, the cure for Inoue."
Relief washed over me when I heard the words leave his mouth. Eight years ago I gave Urahara the task to find a cure for Inoue. I looked at him for a while expecting him to show me the cure, but when he made no signs of moving, I frowned at him.
"Well aren't you going to show me it?" I asked.
"The cure is not an it, but a who" he explained, pulling out his white fan covering his face to only have his emerald eyes visible.
"What do you mean?"
"The only way to bring back Inoue is to take his sister's life energy and put into his body, this will cause it to regenerate to make new life energy while discarding the old one along with whatever it is that has had him in a coma."
"But that will-"
"Mean Ichigo will be the one to do it, no else can."
\(^.^)/
I woke up to a loud banging on my door.
"ICHIGO! BREAKFAST IS READY!," Isshin yelled, still banging on the door. I groan out loud before shifting in my bed finding a comfortable position again, pulling the covers over my head hoping it will drown out the banging, but unfortunately it didn't. I heard more banging on the door as Isshin attempted to keep fast beat to it only to fail miserly not only that, but he kept yelling changing his voice each time to high pitch squeaky one. I groan out loud once again, quickly getting out of bed to open the door wide-open revealing Isshin in a black suite with a goofy grin.
"Damit old man, I was sleeping,"
"I know you were or else I wouldn't have been banging on your door," he said in an obvious tone, "Breakfast ready you should hurry up and eat because we leave in ten," he continued and made his way downstairs as I frown.
"Wait where are we going!" I yelled.
"Your one of her highness's guards now and she requested us to escort her so connect the dots." yelled back and disappear. I let out a deep sigh before closing the door and changing into black jeans with a white T-shirt. I looked over to my bed catching sight of the lavender album, reaching for it and putting it in my back pocket, heading out only to bump into Orihime.
"I'm sorry," she whispered casting her eyes to the floor.
"Don't be it's my fault," I whispered back shifting my gaze to the stairs that lead to the living room, shifting my weight, not knowing what to do. Until I felt a hand on my arm I look over to see Orihime smiling at me.
"We should hurry before Isshin comes back to sing," she said before giggling causing me to smile.
We stood outside of Rukia's house waiting for her. I glanced over to Orihime who stood besides me, gabbing hold of her pink dress. Isshin had said Rukia had also requested Orihime to come. I looked to the sides for other guards but didn't see any making me frown.
"Hey Old man where are the other guards?" I asked.
"What you think your old man can't protect Rukia all by himself," he stated proudly, puffing out his chest trying to look invincible, I rolled my eyes and turn towards Orihime when she burst out laughing, but suddenly stop when the front doors open to reveal Rukia, her long raven hair cascading down in swirls and pin back. She wore a simple floor length white gown. She looked beautiful, but something was different though, her violet eyes seemed dull with no trace of life, her expression was hard and cold like her brother's as if she had no life. Beside her Momo bowed as she started to descend the small stairs Rangiku following behind her. I looked over to goat chin, who bowed at Rukia making me copy him.
"Isshin," Rukia acknowledge as I heard the old geezer straighten up, but I stayed bowed waiting for Rukia to acknowledge me though instead I felt a hand on my back straighten myself up to see Orihime sadly smile at me. I looked around to only find Rukia already getting in the car. Rangiku stood outside glaring at Orihime before speaking.
"Human, you shall ride with us," and got into the black car without waiting for a response. Orihime gave me an unsure look before I nodded my head in approval and watched her get in. Rukia didn't even glance at me nor did she speak a word to me yet the thing that was bugging me was that I could no longer see the smile I yearned to see.

We sat in silence the whole trip nor did I glance at the human girl until we entered Karakura town did I turned to the human girl that sat besides me.
"I'm sure he has told you the situation about your brother?" I asked out loud startling her.
"Umm..yes he did," she replied with a shaky voice making me laugh out loud as I felt her flinch. I turned my whole body towards her and raise a brow at her.
"What happen to the human girl that showed no fear, that stood up to me? Tell me do you fear me now?" I asked putting on a serious expression. She shook her head and looked at me with watery eyes.
"Its not that, its that your eyes hold no warmth, like if your alone and suffering with no one to turn to," she whispered looking at me once again with those sad eyes that made me turn away. Is that all I do now cause pity and not only that but from a human!
"And after what she's about to do for you," I heard Rangiku mumble.
I let out a deep sigh as I rubbed my temples, "Your brother," I continued ignoring her statement, "I found a way to wake him."
I heard her gasp out loud follow by small sniffles, her heart raced as she took deep breaths, "I-I thought, Ichigo said- he couldn't-" she struggled to make out sentence.
"Yes well I was given the solution and let me inform you it won't be easy," I turned to her once again as she frowned wiping her eyes with the back of her hand, "In order to bring back your brother you must transfer some of your life energy into him."
"How?"
"You alone won't be able to, the only way is to have someone you have a deep connection to someone you trust your life with to be the medium in which the energy travels through from you to your brother."
"Ichigo?" she whispered. A small faint blush appeared on her cheeks when she realized she had said it out loud.
"Yes, but if he takes to much of your energy you'll…die," I looked up at her.
"That's fine I trust Ichigo."
Rangiku was explaining everything to a hysterical Ichigo that refused to do the transfer. The human pleaded and begged him telling him he had nothing to worry about in which she was wrong. The chance of Ichigo succeeding were slim since he didn't know how to do it. I shifted in the hard green chair that was against the white wall opposite to where the patience was. Inoue looked pale, his hair was longer, and the stubs of his beard were just growing he also looked thinner. He had an IV drip along with a feeding tube and a machine that showed his heart's beats.
"What is it Isshin?," I asked in a whispered as his stared bored into me.
"This is too risky"
"Life is nothing if one is not willing to take the risks," I quietly replied turning back to Ichigo once I heard his agreement. Rangiku started to explain the process step by step as Ichigo took the human's hand and place his other hand on top of Inoue. Closing his eyes focusing his attention on the energy.
"Pull in her energy, image it passing through you and into Inoue" Rangiku instructed. I saw him frown before I heard the human gasp causing Ichigo to pull back only to stop when Rangiku said it was okay. It was working, when I saw the color on Inoue turn back to normal.
"Okay Ichigo I need you stop" Rangiku said but it didn't seem to make any difference since Ichigo didn't seem to have heard since he continued. The human began to tremble and sway in place and lose her color. I straighten up in my chair unsure if I should interfere, afraid I could cause damage instead of good. All I—all we could do was wait and hope for the best.
"ICHIGO!" Rangiku yelled. In hearing the desperation in Rangiku's voice I was beside Ichigo as I clasped my hands the human's and Ichigo entwined hands. I let out a small gasp when I felt her energy it was pure, warm and comforting unlike I had ever known. I quickly severed the connection between them. I looked of towards the human who was in Isshin arms unconscious her heart barely beating.
"Take her to a nurse quickly," I commanded Isshin. I turned back to Ichigo who had a horrified look as he scrambled to his feet. His panic expression made me reached out a hand towards him, but flinched away.
"Go, she's in trouble," I whispered making him snap out of the trance he was in before he hesitantly leave the room in a hurry. I watched the doorway waiting for him to maybe come back when a groaning noise caught my attention. I turned to Inoue as he shot up in a panic screaming my name. He was panting and cover in sweat like as if he just woke from a bad dream.
"Tell me what is wrong?" I told him, grabbing him by the arms and looked into his brown eyes as he continued wander his eyes around the room.
"Ai…Aizen's…" he breath out with a struggle, "The tr-tra-tratior!"
DID you like yes? Maybe? No? go easy on the no
Well I guess its safe to say everyone knew Aizen was the one to blame right, well until next time byebye (^.^)/'
