I'm assuming everyone has read the Disclaimer? Good, then I don't have to repeat myself.

I'd like to thank everyone for all the reviews, favorites, and follows. And over 5000 views!

I honestly didn't expect this story to be as popular as it is.

Saguru POV

If hindsight is 20/20, foresight is 20/200.

Looking back, I really should have been suspicious by all the stares. Hell, I should have been clued in by the familiar people I saw. I should have called the Captain's on their sudden silence instead of wanting to get the heck out of that damn room and eat dinner.

Should, should, should.

Unfortunately, time turners do not exist in this reality, so when I sense a familiar energy, I falter, the annoyed look on my face gone and replaced by shock.

It couldn't be. I am not that fortunate.

"Never know if you don't check, Saguru-chan…" Hime-chan says softly, her voice spurring me into attention.

I run.

I know distantly that someone yells, and others are following me, the running footsteps echoing my own proving that.

I don't care. (I couldn't care less or more then I ever had then at this moment.)

I rush past others, my speed making it to where I don't even bump into anyone, as I still have the mind enough not to go full out. Several yell and yelp as I rush past, probably yelling obscenities at me.

I don't notice. (Only one soul I notice right now.)

Because that energy lights up in recognition, the feelings of shock and surprise dominant over irritation and frustration from before.

Because that energy is also coming closer instead of staying still.

I'm terrified, worried, ecstatic, excited, fucking out of my mind with so many emotions that when I see him, I can't help but choke off a sob, stopping in my tracks to do so.

And there he is. (Whole and in one piece physically, but mentally?)

He looks good. He doesn't have the thin look we both carried on our bodies due to our unstable diet, and he's not covered in a light dust that seemed to run over everything in our old district. He wears glasses that cover up his sharp, milk chocolate eyes, which are wide at the moment. He also looks rather strong and able in the Shinigami uniform, his aura practically bursting with power and might.

(He looks and feels like home.)

Instinctively, I take a step forward, before I hesitant (I shouldn't be). I realize faintly that I'm trembling, something wet falling down my face. (But I'm not a crybaby.)

"Sosuke-nii…" I say, wanting more then anything to rush forward and hug my brother close, know he's alright and well. I want to know that I'm not dreaming, because memories I can handle, but if my mind dreams up a reunion, then it won't matter that I'm in the Fourth, I'll shatter so bad I'll be powder. There will be no saving me then.

(And why would I want to be saved if my mind decides to torture me like so?)

Before my mind can get anymore morbid, I feel a warm weight crash into me, holding me tight as arms wrap around me so they can grip the back of my clothing.

I realize distantly that my brother is hugging me, his face hidden in my shoulder (Which is getting slightly damp).

Feeling that, the last of my restraint is torn away, and I'm left sobbing into my brother's hair, gripping him equally as tight.

"I'm…so… sorry… that… that… I left you… alone." I manage to get out between my crying, hiccuping a bit.

(I swear I am not a crybaby, I have no clue where these tears came from.)

Sosuke, lieutenant of the Fifth, just grips tighter.

"I never blamed you for that. The fault lies in those who took you." He says, sounding only a little hoarse.

In the quiet of the hallway, I don't think about how quiet it is, I don't think about how we're probably in people's way, I don't think about what it means that Sosuke is a Shinigami, in the Fifth division.

I'm just happy to have my twin/best friend/brother/protector back.

(AN)- Here you go, everyone! The scene everyone was looking forward to. How do you all think Aizen will react when he finds out things?

And happy belated Mother's Day!

And a little extra:

3rd Person POV, Aizen Sosuke- I See

Time: During Reunion

Sosuke had a little trouble believing what he is seeing.

In the past, he had not allowed himself the distraction of thinking what he would do once he found his brother. On the other hand, he had a time or two allowed himself the thought of what he was going to do to those who stole his twin from him. Those were some rather satisfying thoughts.

But he couldn't, wouldn't, think of what he would do once he found his brother. Because he didn't know if he would find Saguru dead or alive. The very thought of those eyes glazed with death, pain being the last thing in them made the normally composed lieutenant want to utterly destroy something.

(He had many projects to keep him busy, so at least when he had the urge, he could use it in constructive ways.)

But seeing Saguru before him, those honey colored eyes so happy to see him, filled with a desperate longing, a need not completely sane, and always so accepting, never denying him.

He had to make sure this was really happening.

"Because while I see you, I know better than anyone that illusions need a touch to break." Sosuke thought, griping his brother tightly, enjoying his warmth.
