A.N. OMG I just got home from that deserted place called vacation… __ well atleast I am able to finish this chapter. I hope this chapter doesn't bore you… Anyway on with it.

Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach nor its characters. I only own my OC and this story…

"KYAA!!!" Momo shouted as both kido exploded.

Yellow and blue light covered the area as the two kido exploded. Momo closed her eyes as soon as she thought the kidos were about to explode surrendering herself to her impending death or pain.

'Someone, help me.' She thought as flashed of her friend's faces came to her mind but the last face that her mind pictured was Aizen.

After a few moments, she felt the exploding reiatsus stop; she felt warm. She opened her eyes ready to see what's in store after the afterlife. Her eyes widened at what she saw. She saw Shin holding her in a protective embrace. She felt liquid dripping from her hands she looked down and saw her hands covered in blood but it wasn't hers. She looked up a little and saw Shin's face. If he was really hurt, he didn't show it. He was looking worriedly at her. When he noticed that she was looking at his face, he grinned and asked.

"Daijobou desu ka, Momo."

"Naze…" was all Momo could say as she passed out from reiatsu and mental exhaustion.

~/~/~/~

Momo woke up from her sleep. She found herself again to a too familiar place. White ceiling and walls, the smell of medicine and the peaceful scenery outside the window, this is the 4th division.

"About time you woke up, bed wetter." She heard Toshirou say.

"Shirou-chan!" She answered startled.

"Well, you look energetic." He said.

"I told you don't startle others like that. Why does all taichous do that?" Momo exclaimed.

"It's not my fault that you can't detect me and it's Hitsugaya-taichou to you." He answered.

Momo just pout at him. Toshirou looked at her and asked.

"Daijoubu desu ka, Momo."

"Hai, Daijoubu. Arigatou, were you the one who took care of me?"

"Iie, it was Aisora-taichou." He answered.

At Toshirou's words, Momo looked at him and asked.

"Aisora-san huh? I guess he was the one. He saved me twice now I guess." She said.

"Iie, he saved you thrice now. First was from Aizen's treachery, the third was from your own kidos while the second was when the Sou-taichou was about to order you be caught for insubordination."

"What happened, last night? I mean the things I don't know." She asked.

"When you exited the meeting hall, the Sou-taichou ordered that you be captured but Aisora-taichou stopped us and took full responsibility. When he took off to find you, we were reprimanded by the Sou-taichou for persecuting someone just because he was related to a traitor. He said that we overlooked everything he did for us just because of a simple fact that he was related to Aizen. After he dismissed us, I tried to search for you because you might do something rash. I felt your reiatsu rising to a dangerous level so I hurried to the source. When I arrived, I saw Aisora-taichou did something and was able to detach the kidos from your arms but the kidos exploded upon contact on him. But instead of minding himself, he shielded you from the explosion. Then, he brought you here." He answered.

"What should I do, Shirou-chan?" She asked.

"Honestly, I don't know. Even I don't know if I should believe in him. Though, it's not being Aizen's brother that I am suspicious on him. It's more on why are they doing this." He answered.

"What do you mean?"

"Aizen and Aisora's goal in life was to avenge their parents. I assume that they were working together to reach that goal but as it is now, it seems that it was the least of what they want to do. Aizen wants to be strong to be on top of everything or so he says. Aisora on the other hand, I don't know what he really wants." Toshirou said.

"Maybe they already were able to reach that goal and are now trying to achieve their new goal." Rangiku said from the door.

Momo looked at the door and saw Shuhei, Kira, Renji and Rangiku.

"That may be true but it could also be that this is a part of their plan to take revenge. Remember, both of them had a grudge at the Gotei Jyusantai for not helping their family. It could happen that, while Aizen tries to get stronger and tries to destroy Seireitei, Aisora gathers information for him while giving false information to us." Toshirou answered.

"If that happens…" Renji was cut off by Shuhei.

"We're screwed."

"I… see…" Momo said.

~/~/~/~

Later that day, Toshirou, Kira, Shuhei and Renji are dispatched in the human world for the mission. While they were inside the Dangai, Kira asked Toshirou.

"Hitsugaya-taichou, may I ask you something?"

"What is it?"

"Do you think that Aisora-taichou is really a traitor or his intentions are ill?" Kira asked.

"I don't know the answer to that. He is one of the hardest people to figure out. But as I said, I don't think that he is a traitor merely just because he was Aizen's brother. If he is a spy for Aizen then he is really doing a great job because no one could find any evidence against him moreover all the evidences say that he is on our side. But as he was known, he is one of the best when it comes to assassination and reconnaissance."

"So, do we trust him? Even though his intentions are vague?" Renji asked.

"I think I'll try to hear his side one more time. If I think that his intentions aren't against Seireitei, then I will have to trust him. Albeit, not fully. He offered his help to make us strong and I haven't seen any part of his teaching that makes us weak. If he really is a spy then I shall take as much as I could from him while trying to be cautious of what he is doing." Toshirou said.

"I guess that's the best way huh? Many taichous trust him fully, even my taichou. Take as much as you can from him. If he's a spy then atleast we get something in return and if he's a comrade then the better. I hope that it's the later though." Kira said.

"Yeah, as much as possible I don't want to be on the opposite side of his sword or his fists. More importantly, seeing him beside Aizen." Shuhei said feeling a little fear of the idea.

"I couldn't agree more." Renji said.

~/~/~/~

Unohana-taichou came to check Momo.

"Well, apart from a huge loss in reiatsu, I think your all good. You should be able to go out of the 4th division by tomorrow." She said.

"It's all thanks to Aisora-san, doesn't it?" She asked impassively.

"Still can't call him taichou? You can atleast thank him for saving you twice last night." Unohana answered.

"I don't know, Unohana-taichou. I'm confused, I don't know if I should believe him. I was already betrayed by my own taichou once and now, when I have not yet fully accepted the new taichou assigned to our division, I would discover that he is actually that traitor's brother. Aizen was a very kind taichou. He always showed compassion and kindness to everyone. Aisora-san is also like that. He shows kindness to everyone, he even trained Shirou-chan. When I look at him, I always see Aizen and frankly, I am scared, scared that the past would repeat itself. What should I do?" Momo said.

"Well, that is a question, only you could answer. But I could give you a piece of advice." Unohana answered.

"What is it, Unohana-taichou?" Momo asked.

"A broken tool could not repair a broken weapon. Unless the tool is fixed first, it cannot be used to repair anything." Unohana said.

"I don't understand." Momo replied.

"You'll figure it out. I'll be leaving you now and think of what I said." Unohana said as she opened the door and left.

~/~/~/~

"I hope Shin and Lisa's conversation will turn out good." Kirio said.

"I dunno. Shin was always the unpredictable one." Yoruichi answered.

"And I hope you two have a good explanation for pushing Lisa to talk to me." a voice behind them say.

Both women jumped a little in surprise.

"You heard us?" Kirio asked.

"Surprised? I thought you two could sense it when I spread my reiatsu. I guess the old age is catching up to you." Shin mocked.

"What's with the attitude? We are just trying to help you." Kirio said.

"And I thought after so many years of experience the gray hair would mean wisdom. But I think it shows the cobwebs that clogs your minds."

"Get to the point kid and spare this two old hags with your oh so wise words." Yoruichi said.

"Don't force anyone to like me or have pity on me. It isn't right. Don't talk to them and try to convince them of things. They should decide it for themselves. Shouldn't I be the one to talk to them and convince them of my intentions? Please, do not get involved in this."

"That's where you are wrong kid. Yes, colleagues, division members, squad members and the likes shouldn't pry in personal lives of others but we aren't just some shinigami you worked with. We are your family, we always had been. We are even ready to stood by you even in death and no, don't start me with those Sosuke is very dangerous to just say things like death. Do not forget we are shinigamis. When a soul becomes a shinigami, he walks upon the path of death. Everywhere he goes, death will linger and sometimes, on the time that he least expects it, he too would be one of those who linger around the shinigamis." Yoruichi answered.

"You may be wise beyond your years and you may be strong beyond those who are older than you but there are things that those old hags know through the years they had lived before you. Think about it Shin, you always say your okay because you don't want anybody to worry for you, but deep inside you want atleast one to care for you. You got the guts to lecture Hinamori last night about trusting anyone but you had little faith when it comes to personal things. You may be taller now and stronger now, but there is a part of you that is still of a child. If you keep pushing others away so they won't worry for you, at the time that you need someone, who would come at your aid? You value trust don't you? Then you should think of what I said. See you later, otoko no ko." Kirio finished.

~/~/~/~

Aizen was currently resting on his throne when someone knocked at the throne room door.

"Come in." He said.

"Aizen-sama, I have come to ask for a permission to test my new invention." The Octavo Espada said.

"And what does this invention do, Syazel?" Aizen asked.

"It disrupts the link between soul society and the human world." He answered.

"And how is this useful?" Aizen asked.

"It could block the communication link between the soul society and the shinigamis stationed at the human world. Also, this device could disrupt the link made by the Senkaimon meaning it could shut down the Senkaimon. It could also prevent the release of the restraining seal of taichou and fukutaichou class shinigamis when they are at the human world because the link is disrupted." Was his answer.

"How did you know about the restraining seal?" Aizen asked.

"A little information I got from Kaname." He said.

"Very well, gather a group of arrancars and test your invention. I presume with the disturbances happening, Seireitei would send some reinforcement." Aizen replied.

"Arigatou, Aizen-sama." Syazel thanked.

"And one more thing, if you ever encounter a royal guard. Do not engage him on a fight. If a fight is inevitable send your minions to battle but don't engage him yourself. Just stay at the sidelines and observe. Then, go back here and report to me." Aizen finished as Syazel opened the door and left.

"Still bothered by those royal guards, are ya?" Gin teased as he revealed himself leaning on a pillar.

"Royal guards aren't some shinigamis you just could ignore." Aizen said.

"Why do I feel that ya' fear em' more than the older taichous of the Gotei Jyusantai." Gin asked.

"Why are you asking me, Gin? Are you doubting my confidence?" Aizen asked calmly.

"Nah, I just find it a little amusing to see o'l great Aizen-sama getting bothered by some unknown shinigamis." Gin said as he disappeared leaving a frowning Aizen.

~/~/~/~

"Oi, you okay?" A female asked Shin who had a very far gaze. Shin's eyes darted to the source of the voice and stared at the female in front of him.

"I'm asking you, if you are okay. Don't stare at me like that. You look like the protagonist on that manga I read and this kind of scene usually results to a more intimate… Nevermind." She said as a teasing Shin.

"Ah, gomen Lisa. Guess you're here because Kirio-sensei asked didn't she?" Shin asked indifferently.

"I just asked you, didn't I? It is not very polite to ask someone when you haven't even answered their question first." Lisa said.

"I'm fine, don't worry about me. I am already prepared for this to happen. I already knew that everyone would probably lose their trust on me and accuse me of a traitor once they knew." Shin answered not looking at Lisa.

"Knowing all that, you still told us." Lisa said.

"It's better that everyone know of it now than later."

"Then, why didn't you try and convince us that you weren't."

"What you think of me is your own opinion. Whatever I say does not matter. Your opinion wasn't based on a lie, so what kind of truth shall I tell everyone? It's pointless doing that. I'll just continue to do what I am to do. Whether anyone trusts me or not, is your decision not mine."

"But you know, everyone will think badly of you, if you won't try and defend yourself."

"For someone who swore hundred years ago that she would defeat me and make me kiss her heels, you're quite concerned." He answered with a raised eyebrow.

"Don't get me wrong, I still haven't forgotten about our rivalry." Lisa said.

"Apart from Kirio-sensei's request, why are you here, Lisa? Don't tell me you wanted to enact a scene from your favorite manga because I sure as hell won't take any part in that kind of scene." He asked raising an eyebrow.

"What, I can't say 'Hi' to a rival and once fellow apprentice? And don't worry you're not the type of person I would want to be the protagonist on that manga's live action" She answered back.

He didn't answer. Feeling that Shin didn't buy her lame excuse she said.

"Fine smartass, a hundred years ago, I admit I don't quite get you. I hated your arrogance and your warm façade. I hated how you are warm and kind in front of others while cold and a jerk when alone. I wanted to take you down so I could stomp on that pride of yours."

"Atleast someone knew the real me and how similar I am to my brother." He mumbled.

"After I heard what you said last night, I now understand why Kirio-sensei had always told me to try and understand you. I admit I was very envious of you years ago because you were stronger and wiser even though I was older than you. But now, I'm don't envy you anymore but I do admire you for your resolve. It doesn't matter if you are Aizen's brother though I am quite mad at you for hiding it but I do understand why you had to hide it. Remember though, whatever happens, Kirio-sensei, Shihoin-taichou, Urahara-san, Kuchiki-taichou, Tessai-san and of course Lisa-neesan would always be ready to listen and help you." Lisa said.

"Lisa-neesan?" he chuckled then continued. "You're more of a Lisa-baasan now." which earned him a bump in the head.

"But seriously, how can you say that when you don't even know what my goal is?" He asked.

"Faith, we have faith in you. Now you have to have faith in yourself and in us." She said as she was about to leave.

"Lisa-neesan, arigatou." Shin said with a smile. Lisa only smiled and left him.

~/~/~/~

The next day, Momo was discharged from the 4th division and was currently walking towards the 1st division.

"Are you sure we should do this, Momo?" Tobiume asked.

'Hai, I am part of the mission. I should go when I am fit to go.' Momo answered.

"Do you think the Sou-taichou would let us roam free after the commotion two nights ago?"

'Unohana-taichou said that Aisora-san took care of it.'

"Ah, speaking of Aisora-taichou, you should really thanks him."

'I don't know, I'm still confused.'

"And you're going to take this mission so you could think straight?"

'Maybe'

Momo knocked unto the 1st division's wooden door.

"Come in." The Sou-taichou's voice rang from the door.

Momo opened the door and bowed in front of the Sou-taichou.

"Sou-taichou, I am here to apologize for my insubordination two nights ago. I promise that it would not be repeated and that I would perform my missions with utmost efficiency. So please, allow me to follow Hitsugaya-taichou's group on the human world so I could finish the mission that was given to me." Momo said while bowing very low.

"Raise your head, Hinamori-fukutaichou. You're actions two nights ago have been already forgiven but I don't tolerate a repeat of it. Wakarimasu ka." The Sou-taichou said.

"Hai, wakarimasu." Momo answered.

"About your mission, it is at the 4th division's discretion and your taichou's approval if we should send you."

"I have the 4th division's approval for it, Sou-taichou." Momo said as she handed the approval letter from Unohana.

"Very well, I shall call for you taichou for his approval." A hell butterfly landed on the Sou-taichou's fingers and then it flew away. Moments later, a knock came at the door. After a confirmation from the Sou-taichou, Aisora-taichou came in.

"Is there anything you need, Sou-taichou?" Shin asked.

"Aisora-taichou, I presume that you are aware that your fukutaichou has been given the approval to leave the 4th division." The Sou-taichou asked.

"Hai, I was notified that she was to be released today."

"Well, Hinamori-fukutaichou is here today to ask me a permission to follow Hitsugaya-taichou's group in the human world."

"I see, so my approval is needed for her request to be approved?"

The Sou-taichou nods.

"Momo, did the 4th division give you there blessing?" He asked his fukutaichou.

Momo nods and handed over approval.

"Are you sure you are ready for a mission? Don't you want to have atleast a little rest?" Shin asked.

"Iie, I'll be fine. I already had enough rest." Momo answered while looking at the ground.

"Very well, you have my approval."

"Arigatou." Momo whispered.

"The Senkaimon will be opened for you this afternoon, be ready for your mission." The Sou-taichou declared.

"Hai Arigatou, Sou-taichou." Momo said as she bowed and made her way to the exit but she was stopped by Shin's voice.

"Matte, Momo."

She stopped her movements but she didn't look back.

"Be careful, if you think that you aren't feeling good yet, don't hesitate to go back. Wakarimasu ka."

"Hai, wakarimasu." She said as she left.

"Was it the right choice to send your fukutaichou to the mission even though she just got out of the 4th division?" Sasakibe asked.

"Hai, getting away from here for a while would let her think things through. She'll be able to do it. I have faith in her. Am I right, Jiji?" Shin answered.

The Sou-taichou only nods.

~/~/~/~

Syazel had gathered a group of arrancars to help him in his research.

"Now, listen up you non-intellectual beings." Syazel started.

The group of arrancars looked at him seemingly didn't understand some of the words he said.

"We have a mission from Aizen-sama. I will be conducting some testing on my new invention and you job is to see if it works. Do you get what I said?" He asked.

The arrancars nodded.

"Good, you're brains are not half bad afterall. Anyway, we shall be living in an hour. Be ready."

While Syazel was walking down the hallway, he met up with another arrancar.

"You ask for me, Syazel?" The arrancar said.

"Ah, Arturo it's good to know that you had complied with my request."

"Out with it."

"Ah yes, you see I want to test this device. It should be able to let our garganta to open up in the dimension between the human world and Seireitei."

"You mean the Dangai? And what's our benefit from that?"

"Well, you never know. It might prove to be of great use."

"Very well, but I get to kill any unfortunate shinigami who unfortunately I ran to."

"That is of no problem."

~/~/~/~

"Is there a problem, Hitsugaya-taichou?" Shuhei asked Toshirou.

"My soul-phone has no signal. I think it's broken." He answered.

Shuhei looked at his soul phone and saw that his soul phone too seems broken.

"Seems like mines the same."

"Hey Hitsugaya-taichou, Hisagi-senpai. We have a problem." Kira said.

"What is it?" Toshirou asked.

"This device can't connect to Seireitei. I think it's broken." Renji said pointing to the huge monitor.

"Look at your soul phones. See if you could connect to Seireitei." Toshirou said.

After minutes of trying they gave up.

"It's useless; these devices can't seem to connect. Those 12th division members pride themselves of technology but their devices are malfunctioning." Renji said frustrated.

"Iie, it's not the devices that are malfunctioning. Isn't it quite odd that all of our devices our malfunctioning when we had already been using these things for decades?" Toshirou said.

"You don't mean…" Shuhei was cut off.

"Someone or something has cut off our link from Seireitei." Kira said.

"Kuso, now what do we do. We can't report nor get information where the hollows or arrancars are sighted." Renji cursed.

"We need to rely on our own for a while until we are able to find the source of this disturbance to our link. Let's split up and look for it." Toshirou ordered.

"Hai." was the collective answer he got as the four of them was about to split up to investigate.

Up above the building near them a figure stands and was watch them. The figure disappeared when Toshirou was about to look at where the figure stands.

"Is something the matter, Hitsugaya-taichou?" Kira asked.

"Just now, I felt someone watching us."

"Tsk, just great first we can't contact Seireitei, now we are being watched by someone we didn't know." Renji exclaimed.

"Be careful. Our enemy now is quite cunning. Proceed with caution. If you encounter an enemy and feel that you're in the disadvantage, flare up your reiatsu so we could be alerted." Toshirou commanded.

To which the three nods before all of them disappeared via shunpo.

The figure stands high up the clouds watching them. The figure smirked and then disappeared.

BadyGuz: Sorry about Ichigo going a little out hehe I am having a hard time figuring out some of the Bleach's characters behavior. There are time that they are calm and then there are times that they are easily angered… So, I don't kind of 100% get what they would behave at times like that…

Ominous Blue: ^__^ I hope you like this chapter also…

Please Read and review… It really means much to me…
