I DO NOT OWN BLEACH
It is coming back to me. I am trying to get back into the swing of things

Ukitake sat in the room reading over his notes on Hanna. Kyoraku learned that when he asked Ukitake to prepare for an interrogation, he makes sure that he is well prepared. This information was from the box that was located in the basement of the Aizen old house. It was on the property but was never sold.
Ukitake read and flipped pages until he came to a section. It was sealed envelope that appeared to have never been opened. Ukitake closed his eyes and exhaled slowly.
"This is always a sign. Good or bad, which is usually both but this is a sign."
Ukitake was about to call for Kyoraku when he came in the room with a cup of tea.
"Hey Lover Boy, what is that in your hand?" Kyoraku asked as he handed Ukitake the cup. He sat next to him and he looked at the envelope.
Ukitake took a letter opener to the envelope. "This was in that box which was in the Aizen home house. I am surprised that is in the condition it is," he said as he dumped the contents on the table. It had was old letters and pictures.
Kyoraku picked up a letter that was addressed to Sosuke Aizen. He picked up another and another and they were all were addressed to Aizen.
Both men sat straight up as they went through the letters and picture. They began to realize that the letters belong to Aizen Senior, Hanna's brother. Ukitake started to go through the pictures. One picture took his breath away.
"I can't go in there and interview her right now. I have to go through this before I speak with her." He picked a sealed another sealed package and handed it to Kyoraku. He broke the seal and pulled the content out. It was a stack of papers. He began to read it. He pulled out his phone and got Gin on the line.
"Good Evening Gina, Kyoraku said with the smile on his face, how is that granddaughter of mine?"
As Kyoraku spoke to Gin, he handed the papers to Ukitake. As he read the papers a look of surprise came across his face. He smiled and fell back. It was like a renewed energy came across him. He heard Kyoraku end the conversation with a 'we will be up all night' spill and 'call us anytime' ending.
As he hung up the phone he leaned back on the couch with Ukitake and placed an arm around him.
"What about Hanna? You want to talk to her again tonight?"
Ukitake exhaled and looked at Kyoraku. "Not tonight. Your guys can work with her tonight. I got to read over this material. I don't how long it will take. But I am in for a long night tonight."

Yumichika sat at the table with between Byakuya and Ikkaku. Byakuya knew that she was very upset because she usually balls her hands when controlling her anger. Byakuya lean over and whispered in her ear. Suddenly, Yumichika open her and grabbed Ikkaku's hand. She then began to question Sojun.
"Tell me, why?" she asked, Why you not came for me?" Yumichika eyes began to fill with tears.
Sojun began to feel uneasy because, he saw his mother's eyes. He swallowed and said, "I did not know about you." He shifted in his chair and diverted his eyes from her. "Your mother was not a one night stand. I actually dated her. Your mother was a very kind and smart woman. A very proud woman."
Sojun started to tear up as he thought of her. "She was in love with you Byakuya. I met her after Hanna brought you to me. Hanna had it in her head that I was going to marry her. But," Sojun paused and took a deep breath, "your mother wanted to further her education. I wanted to get married. I wanted to marry her."
Sojun stopped. He looked at the group in front of him and stood. He walked to the corner and kept his back to them. "I do not feel like talking anymore." The room was spinning and he heard Yumichika yelling at him. He heard her say that you will talk to me. He tried to balance himself by placing his hand on the wall. He felt his knees give out and he fell and blacked out.
Later that evening, Unohana was speaking with the Doctor who has been assigned to Sojun's care. The Alliance wanted to care and protect Sojun because like Kaname, they were the most visible and close to Aizen. Since, Aizen is out there, The Alliance is preparing to put an end to him. So, they are now closing ranks.
Unohana walked to Ukitake and Kyoraku. They were waiting outside of Sojun's room.
"Sojun is doing ok for a man who is supposed to be battling cancer. It appears that he has not been taking his medicine, for several weeks. He said that he has but it is not showing in his system. I am sending a guard to go and retrieve his medicine. I have a suspicion but I need to test it out," Unohana said. She looked with some concern. "The doctor said that he has lost his will to live. Please, Kyoraku, talk to your friend," she said as she nodded toward his room. Unohana walked away toward the group of guards.
Kyoraku walked into Sojun room. His eyes was closed but he sensed someone was there.
If you are coming in to ask about Hanna, I am not in the mood," Sojun said as he turned to look at Kyoraku.
"The one thing I know about you, Kyoraku sat in the chair next to his bed, you only do things when you want to. It is the one trait that both your children have." Both men chuckled.
Sojun looked at his friend. He was about to say something when Kyoraku interrupted him.
"Dr. Unohana told me something very interesting. She stated that you seemed to have given up your will to live." He sat closer to him so that he would comprehend what he was saying. "You have a job to do."
"I know, I know, you need my help in catching Aizen and bringing down the Aizen Corporation," Sojun said with a very dry monotone voice. "I want to help you but I am just, he paused, tired of it all. I just want to live my life to the end."
There was a silence for a minute. Both men sat as the sounds outside of the room became clear.
"You have something else to clear up while you live your life," Kyoraku said with a smile on his face. He nodded toward the door. There stood Gin holding Bigan in her arms. Byakuya stood behind Gin but next to Gin was Yumichika. Bigan wanted to go to Kyoraku by saying Dad Dad.
"She should be calling you Granddad and you should tell her that you have no will to live to get to know her. Her aunt will not let you get away with that." He got up and whispered in his ear. "Please tell Yumichika about how much you loved her mother. This is the job you have to do."
Kyoraku walked to Gin and took Bigan in his arms. She laughed as he gave her the biggest kiss on her cheeks. He then leaned and gave Gin a kiss then whispered in her ear.
"Keep an eye on them both."
He gave Bigan another kiss before he handed her back to Gin. Kyoraku then hugged Yumichika and whispered in her ear.
"Make him talk to you. Don't give him an out. But whatever happens, we all love you."
Yumichika hugged him harder. Kyoraku knew that she would not let him go until she felt she could face him.
When Yumichika let Kyoraku go, she turned to the room. She laughed as she saw Bigan take over the room. She was going from Byakuya to Gin but always having an eye on Sojun. Yumichika stood in the door and smiled. Bigan decided she wanted to be held by the man in the bed. Gin slowly let go of her as she handed Bigan to Sojun. Gin saw Sojun heart melt as Bigan started to touch his face. They all thought that she knew who he was. Byakuya told Yumichika to come in and join them. They had small talk before Bigan got tired and fell asleep in Sojun's arm. Byakuya noticed that Sojun was exhausted but did not want the let Bigan go. Gin slowly picked Bigan out of his arm when Sojun eyes opened as he felt movement.
"I didn't want to wake you but somebody has had a full day," Gin said as Bigan did not wake, "We will bring her to see you again. Byakuya stood and grabbed Bigan from Gin.
"We will let you get some rest. I will come back tomorrow." He looked at Yumichika. He held his hand out to her when she brushed it away.
"I am going to stay with Sojun," she said as she got up and sat in the chair Gin was in. Byakuya looked at Ikkaku who stayed in the hallway helping with Security.
Gin and Byakuya left Yumichika in the room. Byakuya told Gin to go ahead he will catch up with her.
Ikkaku told him about Kyoraku and Ukitake found more information on Hanna. They will be back to get more info on Hanna Aizen from Sojun. Sojun knows more about that family than he given us so far. Ikkaku was talking to Byakuya but looking at his wife.
"Do you think she is going to be okay with him," Byakuya asked.
Ikkaku smiled and said, "She will be okay. She is right where she wants to be. Don't worry, I will be with her and for her always."
Byakuya left knowing Yumichika would be alright.
