Normal P.O.V.
Lying in her bed, Mizuki was thinking over her choices, not that she had too many to look over. She didn't like the idea of killing her friend, nor did she like the idea of disobeying someone's order…especially Aizen's orders. Sighing, she turned over, and that's when an idea hit her. 'He said right away, but what if to me, right away means a few days….' She smiled at her idea and closed her heavy eyelids.
A few minutes later, Suzuyo came in, sliding the door as quietly as possible behind her. She looked at Mizuki, her face peaceful and calm, as if the recent event hadn't happened. 'I wish I was secure in knowing that I wasn't going to die.' She thought to herself. She smiled at the ironic thought and laid down in her bed. Her dream from before slowly crept back into her mind before she fell asleep, dreaming the same dream.
The new day's sun shone through the sliding doors, waking Suzuyo up. Upset at the stupid dream, Suzuyo decided to take a stroll to clear her mind. But when she looked around the room, Mizuki wasn't there. "Where could she be…?" She mumbled to herself before the memories of yesterday came rushing by. She was almost happy that she couldn't see Mizuki around. A pang of guilt and shame threw itself at Suzuyo as that thought came by. 'No matter what she does, she's still a true and good friend.' She thought determinedly.
On her little stroll, Suzuyo decided she'd walk to a river by the 10th division (and I'm just making this place up). The winter was coming soon, but it was still warm enough for the water to flow freely in the morning. Sitting on the yellow grass, Suzuyo thought about what she was going to do. She could try to run away if Mizuki did try to kill her, and if that didn't work, then she'd defend herself for however long she could. She sighed and dismissed that thought, Mizuki wouldn't kill her. "Suzuyo?" Mizuki's voice sounded from behind Suzuyo. Her entire body froze from either shock or fear. "What's wrong Suzuyo?" It took a few moments or so before Suzuyo could reply. "Umm, nothing."
"Why are you here? Don't you usually start to train around this time?"
"Umm, yeah, but I uh…felt tired today."
"I see, do you mind if I join you?"
"Uh, nope!" Suzuyo tried to smile; it was a lot harder than you might think. Mizuki smiled back, and sat down beside her silently. Awkward silence filled the air between and around them, still neither said a word. It felt like hours to Suzuyo, but finally Mizuki said something. "So what's on your mind?"
"Nothing much…just thinking about what to do today, how to live life and all that."
"Those are…interesting things to think about…." Mizuki commented on, a little unsure why she was thinking that,
"Well, you never know when you're going to die…or that's how it was like when I was living."
"You know, I don't know a lot about you."
"Same here. I don't know how old you were when you died or however things were like for you in Rukongai or all that stuff."
"Well, I was 18 when I passed away. I was with my friends, walking down a street back to my home. It was winter, so the roads were slippery, and few cars were outside. My friends and I, we were just turning the corner towards my house when a car, speeding by, crashed into us. Luckily, my friends all survived, even though they had quite a lot of injuries. I'm the only one that died in that accident.
"I was chased by Hollows for about three days…and then…stuff happened, and yeah, this is what I became! So…what about you?"
"I don't know, I have bad memory." Suzuyo lied, she didn't want to tell about her past, not now anyways. Nodding her understanding, Mizuki stared back into the water as the silence filled the air again. Suzuyo was dosing off before Mizuki spoke again, "If you could wish for anything, what would it be?" The question had surprised Suzuyo. She couldn't really think of anything that she would wish for. "Umm, I don't know…I guess I would wish to see my family again."
"I would wish for an easier life." Mizuki replied. Suzuyo realized what she meant, and then she realized that she really wished for Mizuki to have an easier life too; and maybe not to die.

Suzuyo finally went to train, now at a different training ground, to practice her shikai again. During her training, she felt someone watching her, but she ignored to odd feeling, and kept practicing, but not to her full potential.
The sun began to set before Suzuyo went to the hot springs to bathe, sweat dripping from her forehead and she was breathing heavily. Sinking into the hot water, she released a breathe of relief, but then she remembered this was where Mizuki had spoken to Aizen. 'Maybe I should talk to Yamato-taichou about this…' She thought, but shook her head soon afterwards, maybe only if Mizuki did decide to kill her she would.
Her bathe was quiet the whole way through, by now the moon was just rising, and Suzuyo was dead tired. She began to walk back to her room when Mizuki came by. "Hey Suzuyo, can I talk to you for a minute?"
"Umm, sure thing…." Suzuyo replied a little uneasily. She followed Mizuki behind a tree somewhere close by. Mizuki took a deep breathe, and then she stared at Suzuyo. "You know the truth don't you." It was a statement, not a question.
"…."
"And I'm going to assuming you heard Aizen's orders."
"…."
"Well, I've got an idea that doesn't involve your death, want to hear it?" Mizuki asked in a harsh whisper. Suzuyo couldn't speak, so she just nodded. "Okay, well, since Aizen said that I should kill you right away, I can probably lie to him about you being killed. But you have to being around me for some time. And I'll report it about it later, since right away could take some time." She quickly whispered. The thought was so obvious, Suzuyo was surprised that she didn't realize that could work.
"Soun—sounds li—like a pl—plan." Suzuyo stumbled between words. She was surprised that Mizuki knew…everything.

"What shall I do about that girl…." His voice mumbled, even though he knew what he was going to do.
"How 'bout ya kill her?"
"But when to do it?"
"When she disobey ya orders."

Atsuikumo's P.O.V.
Everyday feels the same, get up, train, do something, bathe, sleep, eat occasionally. I want to do something new, I want something new to happen. Sure, it's exciting to know that you're spared your life and all that, but I want something bigger, something much more exciting. I want something so big to happen, that the whole of Soul Society gets involved…. Maybe tomorrow…something exciting might happen, maybe something bad will happen, and action will be taken place. Maybe I'll finally be able to go on a mission to the real world…just a maybe.

Mizuki's P.O.V.
I hate making stupid decisions, but I didn't want Suzuyo to die, but I didn't want Seireitei to go ka-boom either. So I guess tomorrow will be the hard day...I am so not looking forward to tomorrow. I wonder if this was the right choice...but if I go according to plan, then we should be heading there tomorrow. Then it'll appear, and hopefully Suzuyo will actually survive, and then I can't connect to him over there, so it should be okay. If this plan works, then Seireitei and Suzuyo will stay safe...
