DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN BLEACH!

Chapter 6: Suspicions

Rukia walks through the hallway like a dead spirit.

Renji looked mortified when he saw Rukia, "Didn't get enough sleep did ya? It's like you're emitting a gloom cloud."

Rukia stopped walking and had a troubled face on, not knowing what to do about her deduction about Byakuya and Gin.

Ichigo yawned and saw Rukia, "What's the matter? I haven't seen you this quiet since the results of the midterm exams."

Ishida, Orihime, Rangiku and Toshiro were just coming out their rooms.

Rukia then said in during that small silence, "I don't think we can trust nii-san."

Everyone was shocked to hear that because Byakuya was the one who provided them shelter, food and hospitality.

"You're joking right, Rukia?" said Renji, "I mean, Byakuya is the only one we can trust right no-"

"He's suspicious, ok?" Rukia said not wanting to say anymore.

Everyone shocked had wanted to say something, but nobody said anything.

Until Orihime's curiosity popped in, "What do you mean by we can't trust him?"

There was a long silence before Rukia could answer that question.

"Last night, I heard nii-san on the phone…and on the other side…was Gin Ichimaru," said Rukia was disappointment on her face.

Rangiku surprised to hear that dropped to her knees and didn't say anything due to the terrifying fact.

They all headed to the living room and sat there with tea in front of them that the butler brought in.

Meanwhile in another room, Momo started to gain consciousness and Dr. Unohana was glad that she was okay, but was confused, because calculating the damage that Momo had taken, she should've been unconscious for a month or so to regain the blood loss.

"Huh?" Momo said in confusion, "Where am I?" then seeing Dr. Unohana on her left staring back at her.

"We're at the Kuchiki Residence," she said and got up to take measures of how Momo was doing in her state.

"You look fine and hea-" Dr. Unohana said, but was cut off when she saw something horrifying on Momo's right upper arm.

A patch of her skin was grey. After seeing that, she quickly took a look at her inner bones and structure on that particular spot and there she found it. Momo's upper arm bone was broken in half, but she moved it like nothing happened to it. Momo was of course shocked as well and terrified that something like this has happened to her.

"What is it?" asked Momo is horror.

Dr. Unohana didn't know what to say except this, "It's…it's the same...colour…the same colour as the zombies skin."

Momo paralyzed from shock, she looked at her arm at the x-ray and saw her bone broken in half, but felt no pain at all in that area, "I don't remember when I got this or how I got this."

Just as Dr. Unohana was about to open the door and inform everyone about it, Momo spoke to her.

"Stop!" said Momo, "Don't…don't tell anyone about this…I don't want anyone to worry…especially Shiro-chan." Looking down at what she was going to become she cried in her hands and thought about what could happen to her.

Byakuya walks into the living room and sees everyone sitting around their cold teas.

"Is something bothering you guys?" Byakuya said.

They all stare at him intensely, but give no answer.

"If it's my appearance, then I have nothing to say because I know I'm handsome compared to you guys," he said obviously speaking towards the boys and starts walking away when Rukia interrupts him.

"Wait, nii-san." Rukia said, but stops in her tracks.

Byakuya looks back at Rukia and stares at her. Rukia speechless not knowing what to say to him after last night. So, Ishida takes the chance to say it.

"Is it true that you were talking to Gin Ichimaru, the traitor of Seireitei City, last night?" Ishida said.

Then at that moment Genryuusai came in and saw that they were suspecting Byakuya of something.

"Something wrong here? You all look like you're expecting an answer from Byakuya?" Genryuusai said.

Byakuya showed no reaction to Ishida's question and showed no emotions to those who stared at him.

"I have no idea what you are talking about. Why would someone like me have connections with traitors like them? I am always wary about those around me," speaking as if he was the one being betrayed by the traitors in Genryuusai's place.

At the laboratory…

Gin stood quietly cleaning a wine glass and seemed to be in a daze until Kaname came up and asked him quietly, "Why were you talking with Byakuya?"

Gin showed no reaction except for the wine glass slipping out of his hand crashing to floor.

Aizen hears it and yells, "WHAT HAPPENED?" hoping it wasn't one of his formulas Gin spilled.

"Awws, nothing. I just dropped a wine glass, no biggie…" Gin said and when he went to pick up glass he got a cut and cried like a child, "uwah, big biggie, big biggie, I gotta boo boo~! Will Aizen-papa kiss it better?" going up to Aizen holding up his finger that's bleeding.

Aizen looked at his bloody finger and turned away in disgust, "no" and ignores Gin.

Gin walked back to the counter and got a bandage and quietly said, "What does it matter to you anyways?" back at Kaname.

Then Kaname said in a sad voice, "I can't take it anymore, Aizen's going too far with this World Domination thing. I don't want people to get hurt anymore, just so we can rule the world with zombies. I mean, what are we going to do after we rule the with zombies, he won't be able to control them anymore and eat his brains."

Gin felt relief knowing that Kaname was with him, or is he?

Gin decides that it's time for him to go.

"Aizen," Gin said.

"What is it? You're not gonna ruin my formulas again are you?" he said.

"No, I just want to take 3 days off," said Gin.

"What for? Vacation before we rule the world? It's only weeks until that happens, Gin!" Aizen cried.

"I'm just tired and the smell of your formulas really stinks up the place, so yeah," said Gin.

"Ok, then off you go," Aizen said without looking back. When Gin closed the door Aizen complained to Kaname.

"Gin has betrayed us Kaname. He's gone to that old man's side. We can't let out guard down around him. He might get me into spilling out more information on what I plan to do about after ruling the world with zombies," said Aizen and Kaname showed no sudden movement or reactions to what Aizen just said right now. "So I want you to act as a spy on Gin. Watch his movements and listen carefully to what he's saying."

"Yes, Aizen," said Kaname as he got worked up inside his head. What am I gonna do now?

Back at the house…

They all stare at Byakuya silently and he said, "I reassure you that there is nothing between me and that traitor Gin Ichimaru."

Just as Byakuya was about to walk away the veranda door opened from the wind and there stood a 6' 1" silhouette in front of the sun. Everyone confused, but then gasps and Rangiku stood up and walks towards the silhouette a little and sheds a tear whispering a name…

Please R&R!
