Don't own Bleach

Three days had passed by quickly for Sui Feng. She had spent the last three days following Aizen around. If Lady Yoruichi suspected him of carrying out those experiments, he must have something to do with it she thought. She followed him to his Squad barracks to his residence. She was getting frustrated, she followed him for three days. Three days and all he did was perform his Lieutenant duties and worked more because his Squad Captain had been taken away. She ran out of time. She wanted more time to investigate and gather information on the man, however she had agreed with Yoruichi on three days and they are up.

She formally requested a meeting with Head Captain Yammamoto. Initially she was told to wait a couple of days but once she told them that it involved the intruder, she was granted admittance immediately. Should I tell him of her suspicions of Aizen? Yoruichi's suspicions of Aizen? No, you only agreed to do this. she reasoned. She couldn't get anymore involved than she already is. She has to think of how she's going to report how she knows where they are.

In the Head Captain's office, she found Captain's Kyoraku and Ukitake in a heated discussion with the older man, until he banged his cane on the floor effectively silencing them. "Enough, without any new evidence, we cannot pursue a change in decision." he said with finality. The room suffered a tense silence for a moment before Yammamoto noticed Sui Feng, "And what do you have to tell Sui Feng?" He asked

Sui Feng looked from the two Captain's to Yammamoto. She wondered what they were talking about, could they be talking about Aizen? she pondered. Could Yoruichi and the deserter have approached these two first. It would make sense, the deserter was in Captain Kyoraku's Squad. She bowed in front of the old man, "Sir, the intruder was spotted on top of Sokyoku Hill." She said professionally.

Yammamoto cracked one eye open, "Just how did you come by such information?" He asked, skeptical about how she would know the exact location of intruders. She could sense his Reiatsu, but that could only get a general area.

Looking at the floor averting her gaze for the old man. Just one look from the old man is enough, who knows what he could do in battle she mused. "A passing member of my Squad noticed someone they didn't recognise head up that way, it was the logical place to go based on the direction he would head." she explained.

Assessing her with his one eye for a moment before shutting it again, he sighed, "Send the Captain of Squad 11 to apprehend the intruder." he ordered. He knew that the two Captain's would disagree but he needs to set an example for all the other Shinigami

Eyes widening at the order of sending the brute known as Kenpachi Kiganjo to arrest someone. Kyoraku would have laughed at the absurdity of the large man arresting someone had it been under different circumstances. "Head Captain, you can't send him to arrest him. He'll bring back his head." He complained.

The white-haired Captain shared the same view as Kyoraku but was more level-headed about his approach, "Head Captain, why not go yourself. If you arrest him yourself, would that not set an example to the others?" Ukitake reasoned with old man, he couldn't stand by and let the barbarian of Squad 11 cut down the man.

The Head Captain opened his eye a slither seeing the argument being made, "Shunsui, Jushiro, I see your point. I will go myself and take Kenpachi Kiganjo with me." He said leaving no room for debate as he got up to send for the Captain of Squad. He left the room with Kyoraku, Ukitake and Sui Feng. They all shared a look as if to say they all knew what was going on.

They stood in silence for a while before Kyoraku broke it to talk to Sui Feng, "So how did you know where Utsumi was? I thought he was being careful, I've only felt is Reiatsu a few times since he's been here." he wondered what he had planned. Utsumi had said that he wanted to see Yammamoto, would he be so stupid as to use himself as bait? he thought.

Sui Feng didn't know whether they knew about Yoruichi or no so she kept that card up her sleeve, "I don't know, I've only seen once and he told me to get Yammamoto on top of Sokyoku Hill. He seemed to have a plan but that's his business." She stated. Not sure of what he's planning or if Yoruichi planned it, she just hoped that Yoruichi would be safe and Utsumi would keep her safe.

Should we go to keep an eye on things? Ukitake wondered. He was more careful that Kyoraku, he would want his bases covered. He doesn't know Utsumi, but he knows that what he's done, he's done because it was the right thing to do, and Ukitake had to respect that, "Should we head over there, if things get out of hand?" He asked. Not wanting the man he met days ago be killed by the butcher that is Kenpachi.

Nodding his head, Kyoraku agreed, "I think we should, but we should keep our distance, if Old Man Yamma notices us interfering in this, he's going to be madder than that time I lost my Captain's Haori." He shivered remembering how much Yammamoto yelled at him for losing it, 'it was to show your rank' he said, 'it was a sign of disrespect to that rank' he said. "We gotta go Sui Feng, we'll make sure they get out." he said leaving Sui Feng in the office by herself.

She stood for a moment before processing what he said, "What do you mean 'They'?" she yelled. Gah, that man is infuriating she thought. She realized then that meant Yoruichi, they knew about Yoruichi she thought as she raced for the Sokyoku. No matter how much better Yoruichi is than her, no matter how she felt when Yoruichi left, she can't allow her to risk herself without being there to help her if she needed it.

At Sokyoku Hill, the wind was strong and the sun was bright, Utsumi was standing there with Yoruichi, in cat form, on his shoulder waiting for Head Captain Yammamoto. The portal was set in case things didn't work out as they planned. Utsumi had tried to convince Yoruichi to stay behind but, being as stubborn as she is, she wanted to be there to help Utsumi if he needed it. She wouldn't abandon him now, right when he needed her. He stood there looking up at he clear blue sky and thought about the plan again. He needs Yammamoto to listen to him. That's all he needs, just a few minutes to explain the situation to Yammamoto. It was a strong Reiatsu that broke him out of his thoughts. His eyes widen when he sensed a second stronger Reiatsu. Damn it, he was meant to come alone. he cursed internally.

Kenapachi arrived first shortly followed by Yammamoto. Kenpachi Kiganjo was a bear, he was gargantuan. He had dark brown skin with a thick black beard and mustache. "Well look at this, lost boy and his cat. This isn't usually my thing but when the big cheese calls you answer." he said, a big booming voicing echoing around the area.

A loud crack silenced everyone before Yammamoto began speaking, "You are to be arrested, the charges are many. It's best if you just come with us." he demanded. Yammamoto runs the Gotei 13 with honor, he wouldn't allow him to be cut down unless he resists. However if he resists, there's nothing that Yammamoto could do to avoid having to kill him.

The blue eyes of Utsumi looked from Yammamoto to Kenpachi, "Can I explain why I'm here in the first place?" he asked receiving an eye roll from Kenpachi and a slight shake of the head from Yammamoto, he continued, "You should listen because I have information about the experiments and the hollowfication of your Shinigami." he rationalized. He had to get them to listen to him even if he had to exaggerate how much he knew.

What is he doing? No one knows anything about that. Kenpachi complained internally, "Enough jabbering, just come with us." he ordered, his hand grasping the hilt of his Zanpakuto.

Yammamoto shook his head, "You cannot. That matter has already been dealt with, nothing you can say can change that." he paused, "Now come with us now or we will have to kill you." He demanded, These arrogant Shinigami he thought upset with the current state of affairs in the Soul Society. He's from another generation, he had respect for his betters, he kept his attitude in check when he was in training as Utsumi was before he left the Soul Society. His anger was rising, "Enough stalling you will come with us." His Reiatsu was incredible. Utsumi wasn't cowering but it effected him heavily.

Damn it, I've got no choice. I've got to distract them as Yoruichi gets away and opens the portal, he thought. He took a look at Yoruichi who shook her head, Utsumi nudged her off his shoulder. She looked up at him with big golden eyes, goodbye Yoruichi follow the plan. He thought as she ran off down the hill to get to the portal. Utsumi sighed heavily, "This is exactly why I left the Soul Society. People like you" he pointed to Yammamoto, "say they stand for honor and order yet you allow criminals to run the Soul Society while you blind yourself to the truth." he ranted.

Drawing his sword Kenpachi stepped in front of Yammamoto, "This looks like a refusal to cooperate to me." He said looking at Yammamoto for confirmation. Seeing a small nod, he got into a fighting stance.

"I didn't want it to end this way, Head Captain. You could have avoided this." he said drawing his sword and charging Kenpachi with blistering speed.
