Sorry guys… being a musician means lots of practice and not a lot of time to write stories. I'm gonna try to make it work though. This chapter is going to be fairly short but it's better than nothing. We're going to slow down our updating due to school. Please bear with us and do not leave just 'cause we're taking our time to plan out the story… not to mention we have lives. I hope you like it and please R&R after you read.

Kori: You know, if you want I could write the story

Kirin: No

Kori: Why not? *innocent look*

Kirin: because if I let you write the story you would run away with Toshiro and kill anyone who gets in your way.

Kori: That is… SO true.

Last Chapter!

"Kori, Shizuka's in critical condition!" Rukia exclaimed.

"What did that girl get into this time?"

"Momo attacked her?"

"You mean herLieutenant?" Kori's jaw dropped. "Wait, isn't this the same Lieutenant that wasAizen'sLieutenant? Oh no. Am I allowed entry into the Soul Society?"

"I'm sure you can come, after all you two are best friends." Rukia said.

"Good, we need to get as much information as possible." Kori's eyes narrowed,dammit, we soon get back to almost normal and this crap happens? Shizuka, you better not die on me.

Kori, Ichigo, and Rukia rushed to the soul society. Once there they saw Shizuka laying unconscious, in bed, in the squad four area. After a while Rukia left leaving Ichigo and Kori alone in the room. (well mostly not counting Shizuka)

Kori and Ichigo glared at each other for several minutes until Kori sighed and said "Ichigo, I hope you know that the only reason I dislike you is because your dating Shizuka. In all reality if Renji was dating her I'd probably beat the shit out of him. I guess I'm worried that someone will take one of my few friends away from me."

Kori quickly hugged him and then punched him ,super hard, in the arm

"Ow," Ichigo yelled "What was that for?"

"Don't tell anyone about this you got that Strawberry."

Just then Toshiro walked into the room.

Kori's face lit up as she said "Hi Captain!"

However, he totally ignored her. Kori was upset by this and went on an emotional rant. "I don't even get a 'hey Kori,' or a 'how's it going Kori'? And her e I was thinking that you loved me… I guess I was way off on that one. I was hoping that we could somehow get past the whole espada, captain thing and have a relationship… but if you won't even say he-"

"You know he left right?" Ichigo said cutting her off.

"What, I'm gonna kill him later for leaving me here looking like an idiot." Kori growled to herself

xXx

Later that day,

"I don't see what we can do about Momo," Rangiku said

"How did she even get to Las Noches in the first place? She has no way to open the gate and I can't see Aizen opening it for her, or rather how he would open it for her." Kori said

She was currently at a meeting discussing how to find and stop Momo from freeing Aizen.

Suddenly Kori's head start to hurt. She put her hand on her hand in hopes to make the pain go away. Then she heard a voice… his voice.

'Did you miss me Kori? Well I have a small favor to ask of you… it should be to hard if you don't fight it.' Aizen said

'Leave me alone!' Kori yelled inside her head but she was locked away in the back of her mind.

The shine faded from Kori's eyes along with her pupils as she became Aizen's puppet.

She slowly got up out of her seat and inch by inch removed her zanpakuto from its sheath. Everybody turned to look at her, and in response they all stood up and prepared to fight her. Kori swung her zanpakuto cutting Shizuka, who had awakened and insisted on attending the meeting. Blood sputtered everywhere as Kori reopened her wound. Shizuka fell to her knees clutching her wound, and Kori placed her Zanpakuto on the ground tip down with her hand on top of the hilt.

'Ha, you can't control my voice so you can't force me into my release form! You're still not strong enough are you?' Kori mocked Aizen

Then an electric shock ran through her body releasing her from Aizen's control. All Kori heard before she blacked out was, "Starrk Catch her!"

xXx

When she woke up she was in her room back in Las Noches. Sitting in her room were Cyan and Starrk.

"Oh Miss Kori, you're awake. We came to your rescue… although Starrk being Starrk wasn't too happy about that."

"Thanks a lot." Kori muttered

Then she jolted out of bed and ran out the door.

"Miss Kori, where are you going?" Cyan called after her

"To Shizuka, I have to give her something!"

xXx

Kori ran into Shizuka room and handed Ichigo a small vile. "Give this to her, it should bring her back."

"Why didn't you use this in the first place?" He asked

"Because I didn't want to use it unless I had too."

On that note Kori left and headed for the meeting room. With everybody still there she called Gin.

"Gin, The more Momo undoes Aizen's seal the more powerful he grows."

"I guess this means we have no choice but to team up with the soul society… of course only if they agree."

Kori ended the call and turned to everybody in the room "I guess this means we allies now."

xXx

Momo wiped the sweat from her forehead. The closer she got to Aizen the more spiritual pressure was required to undo the seals.

'Almost there.' She thought to herself with a slight smile.

Thanks for anyone who didn't lose hope on us. I've been busy lately…
