So the sun rose for the dawn of the big day, the day that decided the fate of Suzuyo…and Mizuki…and I suppose Soul Society. Well, it wasn't actually that big of a deal, a measly lie and then the days later would be normal. Mizuki stirred and starred out the door, uneasiness clung on her like fog. 'I wonder if this plan is going to work…and all I have to do is lie… I'll say sorry it took forever, there were interruptions, I'll say she's dead…alls well ends well…I guess it's not exactly…well… but it'll do.' She organized the words and everything, got up and brushed herself, and headed out to the brisk winds of autumn.
There weren't too many people outside, so it would be safe to talk to Aizen…, then she thought for a mere second that Suzuyo might report that she was with Aizen. Laughing quietly at the stupid thought, she continued her way to a quieter area, accidentally bumping in to…guess who? Hitsugaya-taichou. "Eh, sorry." She managed to mutter though she was still surprised.
"And what are you doing up so early, and in a rush?" He replied coolly.
"I was er…I wanted to uh…start training early and you know, get stronger…."
"Kidou practice is on the other side." He pointed behind her. That's when she noticed that she forgot her zanpakutou inside her room.
"Oh right…haha, right, thank you!" She turned and started to walk away but Hitsugaya called her back.
"What's
in your hands?"
"Mmm, what? Oh, just a beetle…"
"It doesn't look familiar."
"Oh…yeah…that's because….I uh…found it somewhere here…."
"If I were you, I would probably destroy it. It looks like it's a mechanical one."
"Uh…it does? Oh…I guess I should…I think I'll just do it over there at kidou practice."
"I think it'd be safer if you did it now."
"Now?"
"Yes
now." He replied, and watched Mizuki closely as she slowly let it
down. Gulping, she was about to blast it when…. "Mizuki!"
Suzuyo shouted and quickly ran to catch up with her. Sighing with
relief, Mizuki picked up the beetle and waved to Suzuyo. Grunting,
Hitsugaya turned around and continued walking, but not before
muttering a warning to Mizuki. "Thank you so much Suzuyo, you just
saved me."
"I did? Err…okay then…you're welcome?"
"Err, not now; let's go to the kidou practicing grounds."
"Uh, sure, whatever you want." So to kidou practice area they went, and they actually practiced there…for a bit.

Hitsugaya's P.O.V.
I still don't trust her, whatever she says; I won't trust her till she proves her loyalty. I suppose the other girl seems okay…I think she would be Suzuyo. Speaking of which, winter's almost here, I should go train.

Normal P.O.V.
Suzuyo headed to train over at the other training grounds, one: so she could get stronger, and two: so the plan would turn out right. Mizuki looked around cautiously, and snuck into the bushes. (Since I'm really lazy right now, and I don't want to look back on what she said to activate the beetle, she just does it as I'm typing this.) Though she said she was reporting to Aizen, it wasn't his face that appeared. "What's ya news?"
"Ichimaru-Sama!"
"That's
right!"
"I, I was just reporting that…Suzuyo's dead."
"Big lose for ya, ain't it?"
"Yes, she was a good friend." She faked some tears to prickle her eyes, but not fall.
"Too bad for ya." Then he zapped out. Something about the last statement made her shudder. Was the last statement directed to Suzuyo's fake death…or was it directed to her…and her decision?

Suzuyo continued calmly training, close till the sun was almost setting, and she took a break. Everything was normal, training, talking with Mizuki, and well, the typical life. But something tingled in the air around her, something that said that it was dangerous, that something bad was going to happen. And that's when she saw it, materializing in the air high above. Quickly, she got up and ran, towards the tenth division office.
When she was half way there, she was already out of breathe (it was only a few seconds or so, she was running as fast as she could) and she knew it was too late, so she screamed out a warning. Not too many people where there, but enough to have everyone else scrambling and in shock, and fear. Too late…blasts were heard and debris was falling upon everyone. 'So this is what I get for wishing to have a bigger adventure…' Suzuyo thought before getting up to run again.
Mizuki had just gotten out of the bushes and walking along the wooden boards before the first explosion had occurred. 'Oh no…I know what this is…oh my god this is bad….' She sprinted towards which ever direction she thought would be best and halted to the call of her name. Turning around, she saw the short captain walking towards her, anger flashing in his teal eyes. "It's you isn't it!" He stated.
"W—wha—t?"
"You're the reason why Aizen is here now?"
"What—what do you…mean?"
"You know what I mean!" He took out his zanpakutou slowly, the silver blade glistening in the sunlight that barely remained. The setting sun spilled colours of blood across the sky. Stepping back lightly, Mizuki shook with shock and fright, unaware of how far she was from the edge of the boards, she fell backwards onto the grass. Hitsugaya raised his sword, ready to strike, and coincidentally, someone came by. "You look like you might need some help…Mizuki."

Suzuyo was interrupted before she could make it to her destination. A blast from the sky had hit the ground right in front of her and flung her back. Groaning, she looked up and saw a Vastoorode appear in front of her. 'Oh crap….' She stood frozen for about, three seconds, and then bolted. She had no idea where she was going, but anywhere other than by it. Suzuyo didn't have to run too far, she stopped dead as she turned the corner. "Mizu…ki?"
