"What game are you playing? What tricks are you planning now? What…are you doing?"

"I don't want to…" he muttered weakly pushing himself up.

"I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" I shouted in his sweat ridden face.

"I don't want to die…" He said a little louder.

"YELL!" I shouted.

"I WANT-!" he yelled.

"SHOUT!" I demanded,

"I WANT TO SAVE RUKIA! I WONT DIE!" he shouted pulling himself up off the ground swinging his Zanpaku-to.

"Ichigo! Fight him!" I said with a smile…that's the Renji I knew…and as much as he often annoyed me, he was still a good shinigami.

"The real fight is about to begin now…" I said with a small touch of sarcasm.

"Thank you Captain…I'll be sure to get those five dollars to ya and don't I still owe you a month of servitude!" he said with a smug look.

"Yeah you do! Now fight doggy!" I said shadow stepping away…

Nice job…Kurai approved.

Yeah…but this is far from over…I told them.

Yes…she's right…I should find Yoruichi…

So Renji was defeated by Ichigo? Hm…

"Your Ryoka friends have caused quite a disruption…" Toshiro muttered I shrugged.

"Well the Renji thing was partly my fault but I'm glad I did it as for the others…I'm not really sure…"

You should check on that Hinamori girl make sure she's not doing something stupid…Kurai said advising.

Yeah, yeah…

"Where you sleeping?" Toshiro asked, I rolled my eyes, and shrugged again.

"I don't know…I'll find a comfy roof somewhere!" I said mater of fact.

"You know you can just take my-"

I stopped him and said, "s'k! I'm good! Its your room now Captain Hitsugaya!" I said with a slight smirk.

"You have no idea how weird it feels having your captain call you captain!" he said, as I pointed out.

"I'm no longer your captain!" he made a huff sound with a sad smile…

"Guess your right…" we sat there in silence for a few seconds.

When he walked over to where I was sitting on the couch and said, " …I'm glad your back…"

I suddenly felt something take control of me as I leaned over and kissed him…I suddenly felt him kissing back as we both felt a strong spiritual pressure…it was HINAMORI'S! "STAY HERE!" he shouted jumping up into action heading toward the door, I transformed into a wolf and persisted to follow him stubbornly.

"I'm not gonna just sit there waitin' common Toshiro! You know me better than that!" I told him under my breath.

"But-!" he began but was stopped by what we saw…

"Ai-Aizen?" he stuttered paralyzed by the sudden sight…it was Aizen…he was hanging from the top of the tower his body limp and lifeless…an illusion…I could tell…real Aizen had much more to live for, no one here, I knew, had the power to take down Aizen alone. Even if they did it would accomplices. Only captains and as far as I knew, all captains here were oblivious. It was Aizen's zanpakuto. Right as I figured that out, it seemed to shatter in my perspective. Now…it just looks like a wall…suddenly Momo turned her head only to see Gin…

"It was you!" She yelled she was about to attack!

Toshiro's POV.

Aizen's body hung there limp and bloody…Kurenai stood watching in the shadows. Momo and Izuru were attempting another attack on each other. I had to intervene! I jumped in between, Izuru and Momo beside me, Kurenai had a knife pointed under Gin's neck…he had his short sword almost hidden but noticeably pointing into her stomach with Rangiku. Hisagi, and Iba watching, and Gin…damn that Gin…Gin stood behind Izuru, still smiling that damn smile…

"Matsumoto arrest Ryoka Ex-Captain Urahara Kurenai, Lieutenant Iba arrest Lieutenant Kira, and Lieutenant Hisagi arrest Momo. I will report this to the commander! Put them in tenth division's prison hold!" Gin was now walking toward me with that sly damned smile.

"My apologizes, my lieutenant caused ya quite a lot of trouble…" Gin apologized.

"Ichimaru…you were about to kill Kurenai, weren't you?" I said.

"Why…I don't know what your talking about!" He said innocently.

"Ichimaru, If I see but a scratch from you on Momo…if you even point your blade at Kurenai again…I wont hesitate to kill you…" I said it and I meant it. If he hurt either of them…I flinched just thinking about it…I had just got her back…I wasn't going to let her go again…

Kurenai's POV.

I sat on the ground of my cell, the 'ryoka' aren't strong enough yet to kill a captain, especially Aizen, not even Ichigo is strong enough, Aizen wasn't dead I knew that for sure, that body was an illusion, I'm not that stupid, but why would he fake his death? And what part did Ichimaru have in all this? But whose on whose side? I've made up my mind, I'll go after Aizen his reiatsu is still strong…I sat the hugging my knees close to my chest, my head lay on my crossed arms, I looked dazed out the small window of the cell, *clink* I turned my head around only to see Rangiku!

"Kurenai…why are you here?" she asked emotionlessly.

With a shrug I said, "To save Rukia like the others…"

She sat down closing the cell door behind her, "Around thirty years ago you left…Captain changed…and never once blamed you…he loves you…" she said simply.

"So Aizen is for sure dead?" I asked changing the subject in the same emotionless tone as before.

"Yes…Unohana confirmed it…" Why? Why would Aizen fake his death? What did he have to gain?

"Rangiku…if you don't mind I kind of want to be alone right now…" I said forcing a smile on my face. Renji and Ichigo had finished there battle awhile ago…then it was Ichigo vs. Kenpachi…that would've been interesting now I felt Yoruichi's reiatsu with his…they must be training and meanwhile the Ryoka quincy vs. the mad scientist. I laid my head against the wooden floor and drifted off…
