Hikari and Hoshi walked slowly down the hallway, chatting. They had just gotten out of a meeting, and were heading back to there towers. They had been in Hueco Mundo for nearly three months, and things had been quite interesting. Hoshi had just told Hikari how she, with help from Gin, had achieved her bankai. It was "Bankai, Freezing Doom, Keiji Mayonaka, ichibu sorera."
Her bankai's power was to copy other's shikai and bankai. Least to say, Ichimaru was shocked. She decided not to tell Ichimaru, instead surprise him.


"Oi, Ichimaru-kun, I think I have it!" She yelled, holding up her zanpakuto.
"Bankai! Freezing doom, Keiji Mayonaka, ichibu sorera!" She smiled.
"Ikorose, Shinso!" she yelled again. Gin's eyes widened when he saw her zanpakuto become his.
"Scatter, Senbonzakura Kageyoshi!"
She kneeled, and looked up. "Tensa Zangetsu!"


She laughed at the thought. Gin had been very busy. They had come here in September, and now it was December 13th, her hundred-sixtieth birthday. Aizen had declared today at the meeting that the winter war would commence it three days. Hoshi, Gin, Hikari, and the selected Espada Delaiye, Ulquiorra, Nnoitra, Starrk, and Grimmjow were not welcome to this. They were planning a retaliation during the war, turning on Aizen and back to the Soul Society. Aizen didn't suspect anything yet, but Gin was beginning to get his doubts about going back. They would either kill him, or not kill him. But one thing, he thought it might work. When Aizen told Gin that they would not be using the 'pawns', that he had a new plan, was when Gin and the Espada come up with their own. A Coup'de'at. Hikari and Hoshi joined in in hope of getting home, and now it was all about to happen. Two days passed much to fast. Talking with Hikari and Gin, telling jokes, and admitting truths.

Hoshi knew that she might be killed in war, and that Gin and Hikari also might. They might not be able to see the real sun ever again. They would never speak again.

Today was the day of the war. Today was the day, in her most certain view, her death.
