Okay so there is a whole scene in this that I copied so ya, i did not write that so thanks to Tite Kubo for that. Please leave comments and I'll try to get chapter four done soon


"Rukia's going to be executed!" Namie said gasping. Vera had just returned from the Seireitei and was in conference with her Lieutenant and her third and fourth seats, Tayla and Namie. Vera nodded and continued to explain that she had promised that they would not interfere. "What!" yelled Azula pounding a fist down on the table she sat at and then getting up to face her Captain. Vera arched an eyebrow and looked at her Lieutenant. "I can not go against a promise," she said staring down her Lieutenant. Azula continued to frown but turned away from her Captain to pace around the room.

Tayla had remained quiet for most of the conversation watching Vera carefully. Finally she asked, "You do not believe that she will be executed?" Vera smiled in response and said, "We shall see. A lot could happen."

"Fine, if we can't interfere with Rukia's execution then can we at least do something about the Ryouka!?" Azula asked turning back. Vera shook her had and told them that her promise also didn't allow them to interfere with the Ryouka. "And plus," she added, "At the moment I have no personal issues with the Ryouka. In fact I wish for them to achieve their goal."

Namie shook her head and grinned wickedly, "You want them to rescue Rukia." Vera nodded. "Then I'm with the Captain. Let the Ryouka run loose, it will be quite fun to see how the Gotei 13 will handle this." Tayla agreed with Namie adding that at the moment she still wished to be on vacation, still weak from her earlier mishap.

"But what if the Ryouka fail. They do have the whole Seireitei after them plus the Captains could get involved. It's very unlikely for them win, they probably wont even survive," Azula stated grimly. "We shall see," her Captain replied firmly.

Vera walked over to the door to her office and walked out onto the porch. She could now see the rest of her squad's buildings lower down on the hill her main office and quarters were located on. Shinigami ran about talking, working, training and so on none off them looked at all worried or annoyed like the shinigami from the Seireitei. But soon they would know what was going on and all would change.

"Lieutenant Matsumoto," Vera said addressing Azula, "We need to inform the rest off the squad." She then left the porch and walked down the hill Azula following obediently. Tayla and Namie hesitated before following as well.

Some Time Later-

Toushiro Hitsugaya's teal blue eyes widened in horror and shook. Enemies, Momo!, he thought. Looking around the room she was no where to be found. Turning back to the not dead Aizen and the ever smiling Gin Ichimaru he demanded, "Where's Momo!?"

Aizen smiled and replied, "Don't you know?"

Toushiro glared and flash stepped past them into the dark room behind them. Unfortunately he was right Momo was here. "Momo," he stuttered. Momo lay on the ground in a pool of her own blood. She was alive but just barely, she would probably not live unless she received treatment soon.

"How unfortunate you found her," Aizen said coolly, "I didn't mean for you to find out like this. I should've chopped her up and hidden the pieces."

Toushiro continued to stare down at his friend's not moving body. He clenched his hand into a fist and asked, "Aizen, Gin. Why?" He paused before adding, "How long have you two been conspiring?!"

"From the beginning of course," Aizen answered smiling. Toushiro still did not face them, "Since before you faked your death Aizen?" he asked. Aizen smiled again, "You catch on slowly. From the beginning." Aizen continued, "Since I became a Captain. I've never considered anyone to be my Lieutenant but Gin."

"Then this whole time you were…Then….Momo…Me…The other Soul Reapers under you… YOU WERE DECEIVING US ALL!" He turned around now and glared furious and upset at Aizen and Gin.

Aizen continued to smile, "I never thought of it that way. The truth is none of you recognized my true identity." "You blame us?" Toushiro yelled, "How could you be so cruel? You knew Momo joined the Court Guard because of you. She worked so hard just so she could serve at your side."

"Yes that's true. Which made her quite easy to manipulate. That's why I requested her for my company." "What?" Toushiro said his eyes widening again. "It was too good to pass up. Remember Toushiro Adoration is the state furthest from understanding." Aizen grinned wickedly.

Toushiro could no longer hold in his anger. He drew his sword and struck, unfortunately Aizen and Gin jumped out of his attacks way. "Bankai Daiguren Hyorinmaru!"

Vera sat in a tree looking up at the sky. Her Lieutenant and third and fourth seat sat on the ground below. Azula had her back against the tree's trunk and had her eyes closed. Namie lay on her stomach and casually flipped through a magazine she got on a trip to the real world while Tayla stood and stared off into the distance something was bothering her.

Suddenly Vera was struck by a great pain in her chest. She made a sudden movement and lost balance, she tried to regain it but to no luck. She fell to ground in pain just barely missing Azula and Namie. She gasped desperately trying to figure out what was causing this pain. "Captain!" she heard her three friends scream as they came over her asking her what was wrong. Vera didn't answer, she herself didn't know what was wrong. Suddenly it dawned on her. Her eyes widened in horror and more then just pain filled her senses. "TOUSHIRO!!" she cried in agony.

"What?" Azula asked confused and frightened. She and everyone else have never seen their Captain in this much pain. She looked around desperately trying to find the reason to her Captain's pain so she could destroy it. "I don't know what to do!!" Azula finally remarked.

Tayla shut her eyes realizing what was going on. After probing her Captain with her power she could guess what was going on. "The Captain has a great bond with her husband," she said quietly. Opening eyes she looked down at her Captain. Vera had her eyes scrunched up and was ripping the grass up around her hands. Tears were still managing to fall from her shut eyes. "This is not her pain," Tayla added shortly anger and sadness welling up inside her.

Azula and Namie gasped upon realizing what was happening. "What should we do?!" cried Namie in alarm. "I don't know," Tayla finally remarked.

Vera's eyes snapped open and she slowly sat up ignoring the pain that racked her body. Azula, Tayla and Namie all looked around suddenly sensing something. "All Captains, assistant Captains, and proxy assistants of all thirteen court guard companies and all Ryouka." "Tentei Kura," Namie mumbled before being hushed by the others.

The voice continued, "This is Isane Kotetsu, assistant Captain of the Fourth Company. Here my words! This is an urgent message from Captain Retsu Unohana of Fourth Company and myself. Listen carefully, what im about to tell you is the truth!!"

"It can't be!" Azula muttered after hearing the message, "Aizen…." She stopped talking and clenched her hands, her uncertainty turning into wrath. Turning to her Captain she saw that Vera was already getting up slowly. She used the tree to help herself up. Tayla moved forward to help but was stopped by Vera who shook her head. "Come," she ordered, "We have work to do." Vera then flash stepped away Azula and the others following ready to fight.
