Good day people! I drank so much coffee that I was able to get this done in one day. If there is any spelling errors let me know! God! is it possible to get a hangover from coffee?!?!?!


The next morning I could feel two reiatsu in the open. Yourichi-sama's and Ichigo Kurosaki were the only ones that weren't captured or injured. After my little talk with Hitsuguya-taicho yesterday, I didn't feel enough energy to move. I never knew he thought of me as exotic, so I scanned his mind the next morning to see what else.

Apparently, I had interrupted a conversation between Hyorinmaru and Toshiro because it went like this.

"I see you have recalled some of your memories of the past when you talked to the cat last night. Does it remind you of her," asked Hyorinmaru.

"You know full well what I felt last night. Just what are you implying here?"

"I see you have forgotten your little infatuation with a certain ash haired maiden, boy. You use to think about her so often that I began to feel the exact same thing," teased Hyorinmaru.

"Shut up, you were the one who planted those back into my head last night."

"What, those little images of her falling on you? Your face was an explosion of red, boy. Even more than the last ninety-three years put together."

"I mean it, Hyorinmaru."

"Do you still remember the look on her face, how she felt like when you straddled her waist? When you made her angry and she smothered you into her chest?"

I gave an amused chuckle and exited their conversation. So my old friend use to have an infatuation with me . . . I'll make sure the next time I see him in human form that I shout this to his face. I'll make sure to find out more about this later as soon as I find a costume.

Toshiro was still irked with his conversation with his zanpaktou. For him to dig up those . . . images of Kurohime was an insult to her memory and if she was here, she would be dying from the humiliation. A voice pulled him out of his thoughts and back to reality. "Iryina, Sunade from the correction corps requesting your permission to enter, sir." He didn't say anything yet when the officer stepped in. She walked up to his desk and dropped to her knees. "It is an honor to meet you, sir. Commander Soi Fon has ordered me to ask you if you have seen anything unusual, like an gray kitten . . ."

She stood up and awaited his answer, but he was frozen with shock from both last night encounter and the girl in front of him. The kitten surely must be a stray or met him once. The girl, however bore a heavy resemblance to both a cat and Kurohime. It was uncanny how often he saw Kurohime in something these past few days.

Sunade Iryina asked "Sir, are you okay?" Even her voice sounded like Hinamoto's. The girl had long, gentle, gray curls that were swept back into a ponytail and she wore the white uniform of the correction corps, similar to the outrageous outfit Kurohime had constructed out of old sleepwear as a result of losing her uniform. Her pupil's were slanted like a cat's and her limbs were catlike and lithe.

"U-uhh, I have seen a cat in the garden the past two days, but how is it connected to the ryoka invasion?" Her upper lip twitched and she said "I never said anything about the ryoka invasion, but if I must. Yoruichi Shihion is supposedly back in the Seireitei."

With that, she spun around and pivoted out his office and beyond. But all Toshiro could think of is the kitten.

I read his mind when he was trying to give me an answer to my little fib. Sure, I may have given away something that was vital to our mission, but Yoruichi' cat form was black and I can spend the next few days wandering the Seireitei as Sunade Iryina. Actually, Sunade was a correction corps officer that happened to jump in front of me. So I knocked her unconscious and stole her clothes.

Over in the distance, I could feel another battle getting out of hand. The boy who was know as Kurosaki, Ichigo and a captain of the Gotei 13. Their reiatsu had leveled many buildings and probably attracted the attention of many officers of the Gotei 13. The captain and Kurosaki are probably monsters because if you look carefully at the insane amount of reiatsu released, you can see a vague depiction of a yellow skull and blue depiction of a hollow. On the roof across mine, I could see Yoruichi impatient for the battle to end. "Hello, Kurohime. I see you decided to shift back as a human. How is it to roam the Soul Society as a free woman?"

I scowled and replied "My name isn't Kurohime, its Sunade Iryina from the correction corps, Yourichi-sama." She laughed and we both turned our attention to the brawl below which apparently ended without us witnessing it. Ichigo and the captain had knocked each other out and my guess was that they were probably down for the count.

Suddenly, a pink haired girl appeared out of no where and bowed to the unconscious Ichigo. "Thank you. Ken-chan hasn't had this much fun since forever." While she was saying this, she was picking up the man (which was an admirable feat since he was ten time bigger than her) and shumpoed away.

Meanwhile, I saw Yoruichi picking up the ryoka boy and slung him over her shoulder. "where are you taking him, Yoruichi-sama?" She smirked and said "You'll see." They were gone before I could say another word.

Toshiro was still thinking about what the girl from the correction corps had said. If the cat was actually Yoruichi than he could grab her and demand answers to the various questions he had. But Yoruichi Shihion did not resemble the feline at all. She had gold eyes while the cat had red and her hair was blackish-purple. The messenger that was sent could be a possible suspect. Sunade Iryina also reminded him of Kurohime.

The girl looked like Kurohime, but a couple of years older. Her hair style was different, Kurohime had messy, unruly hair while she had neat curls. The most eerie resemblance was their faces. The bangs in Sunade's face were just a bit longer and they both the had deathly pale look on them. He almost thought Kurohime was actually alive, but was she? He had saw her die right before his eyes. Toshiro carried her corpse back to the Seireitei, trying to hold back the emotion he felt that day. But a twinge of doubt was still in his heart and he realized he relished at the thought if she was still alive.

The cat wasn't there that night, but Sunade Iryina came back. Holding herself quite stiffly, she bowed and handed him a stack of papers. "Commander Soi Fon ordered me to give these to you because Omaeda-fukutaicho had refused. I'm also here to catch the cat to see if its Yourichi Shihion." Toshiro couldn't refuse her so they ended up sitting on the walkway floor, waiting.

She sat like a statue, but her eyes were always wandering around, searching. "Did you know Kurohime Hinamoto," he blurted out. Sunade stared at him curiously and said "Yes, I have." His eyes widened and listened eagerly to what she had to say. "I met her in Rukongai. We looked so much like each other that we declared each other twins. She was devastated though, after the massacre of her family and ran away. I never saw her again."

Toshiro was disappointed by the lack of information and tried to get more out of this girl by telling him what he knew of her. "She became Taicho of Squad 2 and Commander of the Omeitskidos. She was my friend, but in the end she ended up betraying me." The girl stiffened even more and said "She was like a sister to me. I don't want to hear any bad memories of her, especially if you were her friend, then you would also know what her past was like."

This girl obviously cared about Kurohime so much that he see could her eyes watering up. Yet he still wondered why was she grieving over a dead person and a traitor to boot. "We were orphans tossed onto the streets like trash, forced to survive on scraps we stole from people. People chased her down and nearly killed her and still she smiles. I've heard from the seated officer of Squad 2 what they thought of her and they were horrible things."

She shuddered and continued "You probably witnessed her power first hand. She killed people without even hesitating and cried later about it." After that little outburst, everything went quite again and Toshiro took the time examining her. Her reiatsu was hidden away from him, like it bore a heavy secret that couldn't be shared with the world. Her face had a melancholic look set permanently into her expression and her frosty lavender lips greatly set off her features, something that Kurohime use do.

Wait, why am I thinking about her, thought Toshiro. He couldn't help it though, she also wore perfume like Kurohime, but a different scent. A heavier, flowery scent that he couldn't describe. "How would you react if you found out Kurohime Hinamoto was alive, Hitsuguya-taicho?" This simple question set his mind on a collision course. How would he react if she was alive?

Would he be rejoice to find his companion unharmed or disgusted that she ran away from her duties and betrayed her comrades. "I honestly don't know," he said. She nodded and after a little while he could she her eyes flutter and she yawned a couple of times. "I'm sorry, Hitsuguya-taicho. I'm afraid it has been a long day for me and I would like to rest now. If you see that cat, please notify Commander Soi Fon.

I got up after bidding him goodnight. How blunt can he be even when I was four inches next to him. I don't mean to be offensive, but still I couldn't intrude in his thoughts since my eyes might give me away. I wandered into an abandoned house at the skirts of the Seireitei and fell asleep.

The next morning when I was "patrolling" the Seireitei, a wail of despair fill the air as I was just heading back to my hideout. A couple of kilometers from me was a woman wailing on the ground while several seated officers surrounded her. I realized they were all fukutaichos.

All the soul reapers were pointing at the building behind me. I turned around and saw the bloodied body of Sosuke Aizen. Finally, someone had killed him, I thought. He had it coming to him, but my first question was who? Almost all of our group had been captured with the exception of Kurosaki Ichigo and Yoruichi-sama and I was hoping they were all right. This wasn't right though. As much I wanted to see that bastard dead, he couldn't have been killed. Five captains fought against him and lost, the boy was far too weak and Yoruichi knew well enough to stay away from a fight she couldn't win.

While I was thinking, the woman who was weeping drew her sword and swung it at one of the fukutaichos. On her left arm, I saw a badge that bore the fifth squad's insignia and had five written over it. My first instinct would have been to stop the fight, especially when the woman released her zanpaktou, but it was not my fight and I would blow my cover as soon as I stepped in front of those fukutaichos.

Suddenly, Toshiro appeared, his katana half drawn. I couldn't hear him well enough, but I knew he was reprimanding the man and the woman. I was shocked when he told Rangiku and a few others to pick the pair up and threw them in jail. Then he turned to Gin Ichimaru, who was standing there the entire time and said something that oddly sounded like a threat. I shunpoed out of his radar before he could sense me.

A couple of hours later, I intercepted a hell butterfly before it got to it destination to deliver it message. "In eight days, the traitor Rukia Kuchiki would be executed by the use of the Sokyoku. This is the order of the Central 46. Good day."
