Chapter Seven Decisions

'So, she's going to be okay?' asked the small captain, his icy blue eyes glinting at the good news. He was back in the 4th Squad Relief Station, standing at the bottom of Momo's bed, the girl now clean and sleeping soundly.

Unohana nodded.

'Yes she will. I must admit though it was very strange. Her brain waves were abnormally erratic, and we have not found any source of the blood. So far, all we can guess is that it was not her own.' the captain explained.

'Not her own?' Toshiro exclaimed. 'I don't understand…'

'Brain waves like that, Toshiro, usually imply that the victim is in some sort of mentally unstable state. Naturally we all sympathise with Momo after Aizen's betrayal, but still…' the captain trailed off, turning to look at the sleeping girl.

'What are you saying?' Toshiro said, clenching his fist, his voice growing more dangerous. 'That Momo did this to Kurobishi?'

'No, the killer has been apprehended. I never expected the students of the academy to do something like this…' she sighed. Then she looked back at him, a smile on her face.

'Anyway, expect to see her back in the 5th Division later today.' she said cheerfully.

'Thank you.' Toshiro said, turning back to Momo. He shook his head and left briskly.

The morning Sun was slowly making it's way up when Yoruichi's stroll was interrupted by the sudden arrival of Soi Fon, who appeared instantly in front of her.

'Soi Fon? What is it?' she asked, surprised.

'Please, come with me, Yoruichi-sama!' she said hurriedly and they both darted towards the academy. They flung open the door to the library and Yoruichi's eyes widened at the sight.

'I found her there after talking with you.' Soi Fon sighed, walking up to her. Yoruichi followed and knelt down by the body.

'I'm sorry Soi Fon…perhaps Tanno wasn't the killer after all. Do you have any idea who could have done this?' she asked but they were interrupted by a knock on the door. Soi Fon's eyes widened and she tried to cover the body as the student walked in.

'It's okay, Soi Fon Sensei, I've already seen it.' Kiriobi Shintatsi said quietly, his eyes looking past her at the body of his friend. He turned away but held out a book.

'I've been studying zanpaktou and you should know…' he pointed to the black sword on the ground. '…that this one belongs to Kurosaki Ichigo.'

Soi Fon's eyes widened but Yoruichi nodded.

'I know, I didn't see the blade.' she admitted, before taking it from Kiriobi. The student turned his dark eyes to Soi Fon who was picking up Wasushi's body.

'Whats going to happen to the academy?' he asked. She shook her head.

'I don't know Kiriobi. That's not really what I'm thinking about right now.' she said, looking down at the body in her arms. Noting that it was time to leave, he bowed at the two and left the room. Yoruichi gripped the sword hard in her hand and closed her eyes, bringing it up to her forehead.

'Ichigo…why?' she thought to herself. She straightened up and looked at Soi Fon. 'I'm going to take this to the Head Captain. Looks like Kurosaki Ichigo will be here earlier than intended.' she walked towards the large library door before stopping and looking back at the captain. 'I'm sorry for listening to you about Tanno.' she apologised before vanishing into thin air. Soi Fon smiled.

'Thank you, Yoruichi-sama…' she said before following suit.

'The meeting is now in session!' boomed Yamamoto, slamming his cane down onto the wooden floor. The captains were all lined up like usual, ready for what awaited them.

'Captain Soi Fon, please show us what you discovered at the crime scene yesterday.' he said to her and she nodded, taking it from Yoruichi's hands. A few murmurs went through the group but they were silenced when Yamamoto held up his hand.

'You may not know, but Masabi Wasushi was found dead in the Shinigami Academy library last night, after we apprehended Tanno.' she explained. A few gasps were heard. Shunsui lifted his hat slightly. Toshiro's eyes widened.

'Another!!' she screamed insanely. 'Another will die tonight!!!!!' she cried.

The vision pounded through his mind and he calmed himself, listening to what else she had to say.

Soi Fon continued, holding out the sword in front of her, the blood still staining the tip.

'This is the sword that we believe killed her.' she announced. Byakuya looked up.

'Kurosaki…' he said quietly. There was a lot of talking now, captains arguing amongst themselves. Yamamoto slammed his cane onto the floor again and they were all quiet.

'For this heinous act, and, for now, the killing of Rurou Kurobishi, I am issuing a warrant for Kurosaki Ichigo's arrest.' the Head Captain boomed. Soi Fon brightened up a little bit.

'So, what of Tanno?' she asked.

'It seems very likely that Tanno was involved in some way. He shall remain incarcerated.' Yamamoto decided. Soi Fon's eyes widened.

'Wait-!' she cried but the elderly captain cracked his cane on the floor.

'Enough! This meeting is dismissed!' he boomed. The captains all began to shuffle out of the meeting hall, some vanishing on the spot. Shunsui caught up to Toshiro, who was looking out towards the 4th Squad. He placed his hand on the little captain's shoulder and looked out alongside him.

'Strange isn't it?' he said simply. Toshiro looked at him.

'What is?'

'That I never heard that snapping sound whilst waiting for the attacker to come. Odd that…' he said, his voice becoming quieter before eventually becoming silent. There was a moment of quiet. Then, Shunsui took off his hat and rubbed the back of his neck.

'Sheesh…this is even worse than that house raid last week…' he sighed, shaking his head.

'House raid?' Toshiro asked.

'Yeah, Ukitake and me were sent to deal with it, but the whole family had been killed by Hollows before we got there. They say they had a son in the Shinigami too…' he sighed again.

'Why did you get there late?' Toshiro asked.

'Aizen. He was making his betrayal known, it was more important.' then he held up his hands. 'I know how that sounds!'

Toshiro shook his head.

'No, that's what I would have done…' he said.

Soi Fon was asleep at her desk when there came a rapping sound at the door to the library. She leapt up.

'Come in.' she said wearily and was shocked to see Shunsui Kyoraku enter, his hand on Ryuichi's shoulder, pushing him in.

'This young man has something to tell you.' Shunsui smiled at him, for the boy was clearly very nervous. Soi Fon was puzzled.

'Go ahead, Ryuichi.' she said, smiling. He twiddled his thumbs and looked at the floor.

'I…I was in the academy library last night…and I heard Masabi talking to someone in the common room…' he stammered. Soi Fon's eyes widened.

'Who was it? Was it Kurosaki Ichigo?' she asked. He shook his head.

'No…I couldn't tell who it was…' he said and she gasped. He looked up. 'Whats wrong?' he asked innocently.

'N-nothing…' she stammered, still smiling. 'Thanks for that Ryuichi!' with that, Kyoraku whisked the boy out of the room and Soi Fon slumped down by a bookcase, her head in her hand.

'So she wasn't with Kurosaki last night?' she thought to herself wearily. 'Just what the Hell is going on here…' she thought, before slowly dropping her head into her arms.
