Thank you all for the love this story has received.

PLEASE READ BOTTOM AN! IT HOLDS SOME BAD NEWS UNFORTUNATELY.

Saguru POV

Looks like I haven't affected much.

Gone for a month helping to defend a district and help rebuild it, only to find the Vizard have been created, nearly executed, escaped, and exiled. So many high ranking members gone over night…

Shows just how powerful my brother is.

Of course, I'm not suppose to know any of this as I'm such a low ranking ninth seat; all I should know is that many high ranking members of our organization have been exiled for unspeakable crimes.

I think though that the one that hits me the hardest is the lost of Shinji; besides my own Captain, the blond was one of the others I could really look up to, even go to for advice or complain, maybe even share my cooking with.

Things I probably will never do with him again, unless the Vizard can be convinced to join the Gotei 13 again.

(Yeah right, and I'll meet the Spirit King.)

If wishes were fishes… well, I would certainly get tired of fish after a while. (Still eat it through; you don't waste food!)

But the thoughts I'm really avoiding… is that the Aizen I read about it my brother.

The one who has delusions of godhood and perfection, who back stabs everyone for his own desires, and manipulates us all for his goals. Sure, there are differences, I can see that, my brother is a bit freer with his sarcasm (at least around me), but it doesn't change the fact that he condemned some fellow souls with Hollowification.

(Sounds cool as a story, but actually going through it? I honestly don't know if my sanity would make it.)

I really don't want to think about it.

Thankfully, the Fourth has never been busier, what with the lost of some of our most strongest Captains and Lieutenants. Gives me the ability to ignore it during the day.

But at night, it's all I can think about.

Could I have done something to change it? I couldn't have, I have no voice, despite being a seated officer, I'm still just an experiment that was lucky that it didn't develop Hollow powers. Otherwise, I would have been put to death or the Maggots nest or worse.

Besides, I was out of the village at the time, I couldn't have done anything even if there was something I could manage. (With the timing of my mission, I can't help but wonder sometimes; it was just too neat.)Worse case scenario I get my own mask to wear, and I rather not.

So yeah, I couldn't have helped, as much as I wished I could have.

But that doesn't mean I can't start trying to change things. With a little help.

"Ryu-chan! How are you today?" I say, already in my inner world, going up to my sword spirit, who is sitting on one of the benches in my inner mind.

"Ah, Saguru-chan! You've been so busy with paperwork, I almost thought you forgot I was here." She teases me, a mock pout on her face.

"Sorry about that; things have been busy." I can't help but say with a sigh, before I turn serious. Ryu-hime already has her fan out, covering the bottom half of her face, leaving her eyes uncovered and serious.

"We need to plan." I tell her, receiving a nod from her.

"We do." She says, no playfulness or teasing in her voice.

"I don't think we should mess with too much; if we do, I might make things so much worse." I tell her, needing an ear to listen.

"Ichigo is the only one with the power to beat my brother; I do want to help him, but I don't want my brother to die." I find myself saying.

"In the manga and anime, your brother didn't die; he was merely imprisoned." My Zanpakuto spirit answered me.

"Yeah, but that was a story; this is now my life. I can't always trust it. We don't even know if this is following the anime or manga. If it follows the anime…" I hesitate, which my Zanpakuto notices, her eyes soften.

"I already have a plan for if I am separated from you; you have no worries there." I raise an eyebrow at this, but nod; I trust my other half.

"I know the manga and show were still ongoing, but I have no idea what happens after our favorite carrot regains his powers. So for now, we'll make a plan for the present." I explain, a frown on my face.

"Change what you can, but not too much to where you destroy the timeline?" Ryo says, practically reading my mind.

"Basically." I say sheepishly.

"Which won't be much, since Fourth Division members are still not allowed into the human world." Ryo-chan says calmly, her eyes narrowing in thought.

"I do wish to know how my proposal is doing; even if they go through with it, they might decide to let the researchers go instead of us medics.'" I frown, hoping for news back on that soon. Not only is manga and snacks on the line, but so are the chances that I could help.

"…We will talk more on this later," She raises her hand not holding her fan to stop me from interrupting her, "we will continue this later, but you can't do anything now. You still need to get stronger, healthier, and learn before you can assist in anything. You can start by taking better care of yourself, eating and sleeping normally again. After all…" She trails off here, her fan snapping shut to show me how serious she is, even though though the fan seems to split her face in half, before she moves it out of the way.

"We're still insane, despite being on the side of... angels." She cautions me, letting the insanity I know I hold shine in her eyes.

After a moment, I can't help but laugh, tears trailing down my face as I do so.

How fucked up is life that someone who should to be in an insane asylum is trying to help save their world?

!IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!

Me: Though I must say this now; as my computer is starting to... well... it's...

Saguru: "In other words, the author's computer is a piece of crap that should have been trashed years ago. Not only is the damn thing on it's last leg, literally breaking at the seams, its starting to create problems.

So it must be gotten rid of. Finally.

Problem is that the Author has no idea when they'll get a new piece of crap to be due to being tight on money.

So Updates on chapters will probably come slower until the situation is resolved. Sorry about all this crap, but broken computers have the final say so."

Me: ...That's one way to put it.

But yeah, I'm not sure when the next update will be, but I'll try and make it as soon as possible. I also won't be able to answer any reviews during this time unfortunately.

Sorry about this guys.
