In the Soul Society

The Soul Society was in orderly chaos. To the naked eye, everything seemed just fine, but to the people who really looked, things were being rubbed down to the core. The Captains were all tense waiting orders that Aizen and his followers were attacking. Many of them were at wits end not knowing what they should do. Some were growing deeper and deeper into their subconscious thinking about all of the 'What-If's' that could possibly happen and some that, they were sure, would be very likely to unfold.

The Soul Society was normal most of the time but when night fell there weren't as many parties, many of the Soul Reapers weren't roaming the streets, and it was quiet. Head Captain Yamamoto stayed in though most of the time wondering what Aizen's next move would be. Aizen was like a puzzle, you had to take one piece at a time and unfortunately time wasn't on their side. Yamamoto looked at the clock and sighed, a captain's meeting was to be held in twenty minutes. He had to inform the other captains of his new plan and now was as good a time as any.

"Attention" Yamamoto cleared his throat and the other captains shut their mouths. Everyone was looking intently as Head Captain looked them all over.

"As you know Sōsuke Aizen has come back to the world of the Living, we do not know however, where he is. " Some of the captains shifted uncomfortably. "And as you are aware, three girls are under captivity with him. Something needs to be done immediately" Soi Fon stepped forward with her gaze set and a clenched fist.

"Let me and the stealth force hut down Aizen. If he's in the world of the living, we'll find him." Yamamoto nodded his head.

"Soi Fon, I want you and a select group to go to the world of the living and find Aizen. The girl known as Francesca needs to be brought back if possible. There is reason to believe that she has extraordinary power that could be used very destructively against the Soul Society. With the power that this girl has, Aizen could potentially wipe out the entire Soul Society without lifting a finger." A collective gasp filled the room. Captain Ukitake stepped forward, his eyebrows furrowed and a frown on his face.

"Head Captain, are you implying that this one girl could cause that much damage?" Yamamoto looked at all of his subordinates before answering.

"Yes, she and the two other girls could mean the destruction of the Soul Society and the Living World completely. It would be too dangerous to take all three of them at once, so at this time I want Francesca taken. I want all three of them out of Aizen's possession as soon as possible, who knows what he's done to them. He is a master of deception and we have to be ready for anything."

With that, the meeting was adjourned and Soi Fon went to select the lucky members that would join her in the task of hunting down Sōsuke Aizen.

Back in the World of the Living. Katie's POV

"Guys! Where did you put the leftovers from yesterday? Did Nnoitra and Grimmy eat them all already!" There was enough food there to feed us for a week and of course when I was starving, there was nothing to eat. My nose started to itch and I sneezed, either someone was talking about me, or I was getting a cold in the middle of summer which was unlikely. I brushed the hair out of my face and sighed. Even though I had a tank top and a pair of shorts on it was still freakin hot out. July was the hot, dry, and the perfect time to get a tan. But stupid Aizen made us train on our vacation.

So after finishing my two-mile run on the beach with Brooke, I was dehydrated and hungry. I was dying for a hotdog and some of the potato salad that was left in the fridge from yesterdays BBQ, and look what happened, it's all gone because people don't know how to keep their dirty mitts off of it. I sighed and took out a pan to make some chicken Fajitas. While that was cooking I leafed through a newspaper. On the front was an ad for a carnival that was in town. The date said July first through the eighth. Today was July 6th so the carnival was still in town; which meant that I was going to drag everyone in the house to the carnival and they were going to go and LIKE IT!

"Hey Brooke I've got some food and something to show you!" I called. Brooke came in with Fran, Lilinette, and Grimmy in tow. I glared at him when he started sniffing around the pan with my chicken Fajitas in it.

"I don't think so prick! You ate all my potato salad so don't even think that you're gonna get some of that" I tried to swat him with the spatula and he grinned before slouching against the wall.

"Lay off Kat, you know you love me" he said grinning at me. I snorted before turning back to Brooke.

"Yeah I love ya Grimmy-Kitty, as much as you can love a guy who's got an enormous ego," I laughed as he scowled and walked over to the table and sat down in one of the chairs.

"Ok anyways, guess what guys! There's a carnival in town and I think we should go." Fran and Brooke jumped up and down loving the idea of a carnival. Lilinette looked blankly at us before asking what a carnival was.

"It's this big thing with a bunch of roller coaster rides, and prize booths, and games, and you eat as much food as you can before you puke! People come from all over and you just go there to have fun" Brooke, Fran and I explained

"Ohh sounds like fun!" Lilinette said. "Now how are we going tot get there? Sneak out or beg and plead Aizen to let us go?" Lilinette made a good point. If Aizen didn't want us to go, we had two choices, 1. Sneak out or 2. Beg and plead until he gave in. Personally l thought that sneaking out was better, but we had to go ask first. What a bunch of lame people they are.

So I for one was surprised that Aizen actually said yes when we went and asked. Brooke, Lilinette, and Fran left his room while I gave him a wary look. I'd forgotten who exactly I was dealing with. The feeling that something was off came back and the hairs on the back of my neck rose when he just smiled at me. Sōsuke Aizen was someone that I wanted on my side, but for the past few months I forgot what he was really like. I shook the dark thoughts from my head and walked out leaving them behind.

"Alright, everyone who's going get in the damn car!" I shouted slamming the front door behind me. I had on my favorite pair of jeans and a purple tank top with my leather jacket hanging over my arm. Brooke was running around the blue beast chasing Grimmy with a squirt gun. I glared at them and they all climbed into the van. I got in and turned around, counting heads someone was missing.

"Guys, where's Stark?" Brooke looked at Lilinette and they started giggling. I raised an eyebrow. "Care to elaborate?"

Just then Stark came out of the house and my jaw dropped. He was dressed in normal clothes; A pair of boots, a dark pair of denim jeans, a blue t-shirt and a leather jacket. When he reached the door and climbed in I think I was drooling. He smelled fresh and clean just the way I liked him.

"Ok Kat, I know you like looking at your man candy, but we want to go to the carnival!" Brooke said. I grinned at her.

"Have you seen YOUR man candy lately?" she grumbled something like "Grimmy isn't my man, so shut your face" I laughed, put my gold aviators, and we raced out of the driveway spitting dirt and squealing tires.

OoOoO

It had been about an hour sense we'd been at the fair and so far Brooke had succeeded in forcing Grimmy to eat cotton candy, Lilinette had gotten sick off of all the fattening food, and I'd gone on all the rides twice. Stark of course was sitting next to me the whole time. Seriously, how could one guy look that smoking hot? I have to clue either. Everyone was split into little groups and we met up every once in a while. The crowds were huge so it was hard to move around a lot of the time, but other than that it was amazing. The carnival was held right by the lake and people could take walks along the beach and have campfires while waiting for the nightly fireworks show. The sun was setting which meant that we had about two more hours before the fireworks display started.

"Stark, have you ever had an elephant ear" I asked out of the blue. I was dying for one and now was a great time to get one.

"Are they actual elephant ears?" he said jokingly. I laughed and pulled him through the crowd to get in line at one of the Elephant Ear stands. I ordered a chocolate covered elephant ear and watched as they deep fried the dough, covered it in powdered sugar, and drizzled Hershey's chocolate syrup over the entire thing.

"Ok I know this is a heart attack on a plate, but it's really good" I said pulling a piece off and shoving it in my mouth. Chocolate is the best thing in the world and only Hershey did it right. Stark took apiece off and ate it.

"Well?" I said wiggling my eyebrows at him.

"It's good, really good actually" I smiled and he ran his finger across the chocolate. He gave me a smirk and my eye widened.

"Oh no, you wouldn't dare!" I squealed as I felt the syrup get run across my cheek. A second later he was kissing it off. "Ahh!" I squealed again. After the doughy thing was gone and the mess was cleaned up, we walked through the crowd hand in hand. I saw a flash of red hair and a male voice call out to someone.

"Hey Shuhei do you see them yet?" The man's voice was so familiar, but I just couldn't place it. I saw another flash of red and he came into view. Renji Abarai was standing feet away from me looking around. I clutched Stark's hand and froze in my tracks. Stark saw him too and smushed me against his chest.

"We have to get out of here!" I said my voice going higher with panic. The crowd started to come together and Renji disappeared. A man rammed into us and Stark loosened his grip on my shoulders, another bump by someone else and I was completely separated from him.

"Stark!" I yelled in an attempt to find him. I turned to try and get out of the crowd when I smacked into Shuhei Hisagi. If I wasn't so freaked out I would have drooled for the second time today. He, in my opinion was freakin HOT. He and Renji were on my top smokin' Soul Reapers off all time. He looked down at me, and before I could apologize, he pulled me against his chest. I turned and saw two guys taking punches at each other and their friends trying to break them up. I finally got my voice back and pulled away from him.

"Wow, umm sorry for slamming into you like that." I said tucking a piece of hair behind my ear.

"It's alright, good thing you were by me or you would have been right in the middle of that fight," He said with a grin. Ahh the way of flirting, too bad I couldn't do that. I had my own man candy, gosh but Shuhei was so nice and hot, and nice, and did I mention hot? Uggh why did life hate me? Shuhei looked at me oddly. Thinking that he figured out who I was, I decided that it was time to leave.

"Well I'm really sorry, but I have to go. My friends are probably looking for me." Before he could say anything else, I ran the opposite way and tried to find Stark. I roamed the grounds looking for anyone I knew; I hadn't seen Brooke and Grimmy or Fran and Ulquiorra anywhere. I tried to locate Stark or Lilinette but there were so many people that I couldn't get a read on them. Then I felt a hand on my shoulder and I whipped around thinking that Shuhei was back ready to kidnap me. It was just Stark and everyone else I'd been looking for, for the past ten minutes. All of the adrenaline that had raced through my body left and I sighed.

"Geeze Katie what happened to you?" Lilinette said poking me with her cotton candy.

"Brooke, did you see them?" as soon as I asked her gaze steeled and I knew she had. "I saw Renji and literally ran into Shuhei. Who did you see?"

"I saw Captain Bitch Ninja, Baldy-chan, and Captain has-a-pole-up-his-ass" I whistled. There were two captains, two Lieutenants, and a third seat. They wanted something pretty bad because there was no way that the Soul Society would send that much backup and not intend on taking whatever they were here for.

"What do you think they're after?" I asked out loud to no one in particular. "Hey where's Fran?" everyone looked around, but there was no sign of her or Ulquiorra.

"Fuck" Brooke said and we all took off to find Fran.

We raced around and Lilinette finally got a lock on Ulquiorra, he was by one of the roller coasters. I scanned the crowd and saw him standing with a soda cup looking lost.

"Ulqui! Where's Fran?" Brooke said racing up to him.

"She is gone" he replied

"What do you mean she's gone? You just let her go! Why didn't you put up a fight?" I said rage staining my eyes red. This was unbelievable; Fran was gone because Ulquiorra apparently didn't care. Figures coming from a guy like that.

"This is all part of Aizen-Sama's plan. It doesn't matter what I want." I looked at Ulquiorra regretting what I just said; maybe he wasn't such a bad guy after all.

"Well then we're going to go and have a little chat with Aizen-sama" Brooke said. I looked over and was a little frightened. Brooke was PISSED! Her hair was standing on end and I watched as little jolts of electricity ran up her arms from her fingertips. I was just as pissed when I realized that Aizen had known all along what was going to happen, he let us come here knowing full well that Fran was going to be kidnapped. That pissed me off too.

"He knew all along!" I shouted. Everyone looked at me. "Aizen knew what was going to happen here and he let us come anyway. Come on, we're going home to have a good long chat with Aizen"

OoOoO

"Will ya'll calm yerselves down" Gin said standing as far back from us as he could get. We were currently being manhandled by Stark and Grimmjow while trying to neuter both Aizen and Gin. It wasn't working very well for either of them. Brooke was shocking Grimmy to death and Stark's clothes were getting singed.

"Stop" Aizen finally said. His spiritual pressure was released and we fell to our knees. Both Brooke and I glared up at him. He looked royally pissed but I didn't care, I just wanted to blow his head right off.

"Do you have any idea why I let her go?" No one answered so he continued. "Francesca is a very powerful girl. You have no idea what damage she could potentially cause."

"What exactly are her powers Aizen-sama?" I said mockingly. He ignored the insult and carried on.

"Francesca has the ability to see and predict the future. She could see an enemy's attack and counter it before it even happens. The Soul Society knows about her and her power, so they decided to take her. I sent her to the Soul Society knowing full well what her mission was."

"And what was her mission then?" Brooke asked sarcasm dripping off her every word as we glared at the powerful ex-Captain.

"She was sent to the Soul Society to give them false information, they will believe we will go about things a certain way so they'll never expect our true objectives." Aizen stated rather smugly.

I looked at Aizen knowing that there was something else to it. There was always something else. I decided not to ask, but I would keep it with me anyways. I made a decision that would ultimately change both Brooke, Fran, and I forever.

"Well Aizen, if you really think about it the Soul Society with think that you will send someone to come and take Fran back from them. So we're going to the Soul Society." Everyone looked at me. "It's that or we'll go and tell the Soul Society all about your plans" He probably knew I was bluffing to a certain extent, but I really didn't care at this point.

"Very well. I want you to help Francesca ruin the Soul Society from the inside out." I glared and nodded agreeing. I turned and stalked out before anyone could call me back.

OoOoO

There was doubt in my mind that this was the wrong thing to do. What if they didn't believe us and we became prisoners of war. Then again, we would be like that even if things turned out like they were supposed to. Brooke and I went to pack and Stark wouldn't say a word to me Grimmjow was pretty quiet too.

I had the idea of packing pretty light seeing as we couldn't go to the Soul Society with ten bags. I packed what I knew I couldn't get there, my notepad, Ipod, writing and drawing utensils, and two changes of clothes. Stark sat on my bed and watched me move around the room.

"You shouldn't go," he finally said. I threw a long-sleeved shirt in my bag before looking him in the face. He looked lost and confused, like he was going through a daze.

"I have to, Fran needs me. I don't want to leave either, but you know that no one is going to stop me either." Stark grabbed my hand I went to sit on his lap.

"Don't forget me when you go. Promise you'll come back." I knew what he was getting at.

"I'll always come back." Brooke came in the room with her bag over her shoulder and Grimmjow behind her.

"We gotta go, Aizen's got the portal open" she said. I nodded and moved from Stark's arms.

"Alright let's go" I grabbed my back off the bed and Stark's hand and we left the house that had been our home for the past few weeks. Everyone was gathered around in the front yard. I could see a portal at the end of the yard and I sighed. This was the end, at least for a while. Brooke and Grimmjow went and stood a little outside the group talking quietly. They weren't arguing which was a shock for once. I wondered what they were talking about. Before I could walk over to them Lilinette stopped me.

"Stark's not happy you're leaving." She said solemnly.

"I know, I already talked to him. Will you promise me you'll watch out for him? I don't know how long we'll be gone so just make sure he makes it ok" She nodded and I turned to face the portal that would take me to Fran and my new hone.

Brooke's POV

Grimmjow looked at me with worried eyes. The wind blew hair in my face and I brushed it away.

"You can't go," He said stubbornly

"I have to go! I have to go save Fran, she can't stay there by herself" I fired back.

"Well you aren't strong enough" I gave him a look.

"Don't even go there Grimmy," I said. He grumbled and I grinned. "Just because you're worried doesn't mean that I'm gonna die, anyways, I've had more training that Fran has, even if it's only a little, and I can't send Katie by herself."

"Yeah well, just be careful alright?" a blush crept up his face and I got one too. Uggh I hated all the mushy crap, but I guess it was ok this time. Stupid Katie she would never know about this as long as I lived.

"Brooke! It's time to go!" I looked at Grimmy one more time before running the opposite way.

"Ok I'm here!" Aizen had Szayel explain some crap before we stepped through the portal and into the Soul Society.
