Amaterasu watched as several teenagers and a cat fell from above.

It was like a repeat of when she arrived. Although in this case, these were teenagers with out a clue as to how to properly sneak into someplace after creating a diversion, or how to properly cause chaos. None of this was important right now. She watched with amusement as the shinigami once again ran about like chickens with out heads. Only this time is was comparatively worse since every officer and noble that was outside saw the explosion.

It seems that preventing hysteria was not high on the list of military priorities. Shinigami were gathering in swarms and chasing the ryoka about. Surely it would've been more effective to wait before pursuing the intruders. After all, its not like they can just waltz back out. All they would've needed to do was just be patient. At any rate, the ryoka are holding up quite well against the onslaught of shinigami. It seems she wasn't going to be needed by them anytime soon.

She jumped off the roof and began trotting towards the division 5 barracks. If she was correct then thats where the everything would begin.

THUMP!

Amaterasu turned her head to look at what slammed into her.

"What the hell is a dog doin here and whats with the stripes?" Cried a boy with flaming orange hair. He got up and began running when she pulled him into a dark alley. He was about to protest when he noticed that the wolf had switched out her weapon back to her orange seven strike and stepped back out.

"I saw a flash of orange he- Wait, its just that wolf. " Somebody said. When the voices and taunts from the shinigami grew distant again, Amaterasu pulled the boy back out of the alley and walked off.

"Thanks dog!" he called before he ran off again.

She kept going until she reached her destination.

Sure enough there was a dead body and two people standing over it. Amaterasu ignored the two people and went and inspected it. It was either a very well made fake, or a family will be grieving somewhere. Amaterasu hoped it was the former.

Aizen and Ichimaru both looked at the intruder. The wolf looked Neither of them knew what to do about it.

It was the first time Aizen had interacted with the wolf himself. Ordinarily he would've ignored it but he knew that Komamura could communicate with it and Komamura trusted the wolf as much as he trusted the head captain. He released his Shikai and made it so that the wolf would see the two of them leave. The he could observe the wolf's reaction to see how to best manipulate it.

…..

It didn't work. The wolf continued to stare at them both. This put both men on edge, and for different reasons.

Gin did not enjoy making eye contact with it. She made him feel small, confused, and bare. He wished that it would look at him with suspicion or fear. Those he knew how to deal with. The wolf only looked at him with a kindness and compassion instead, like it knew why he was doing everything. Could it possibly…?

For the first time in Aizen's life, he was nervous. He had spent centuries planning this and it was all about to pay off when the wolf appeared. His shikai didn't looked like it worked on it. Could it be blind? No, it never once looked away. The other option was impossible. There was no way a god could possibly be standing in front of him.

No way at all. So why didn't he pick up any reiatsu? WHY?

IT CANNOT BE A GOD.

ABSOLUTELY NOT.

GODS DO NOT DESCEND TO THIS PLANE OF EXISTENCE.

ABSOLUTELY NOT.

THEY NO LONGER EXIST.

THE THRONE HAS BEEN EMPTY FOR CENTURIES.

...

All three of them remained frozen until they heard someone scream.

The Hinamori received a nasty shock when she opened the door. The snake and her beloved captain had killed someone! Worse, They had cornered a cute white wolf.

Then the gears in her bean began turning. She saw three people. Captain Ichimaru was the furthest away, he wasn't smiling, which was unusual. Next to him was captain Aizen. He was completely spotless despite the dead body that was on the ground. There were no words for the look on his face, it was an expression that she had never seen in the time she has served him.

In between them was the white wolf she had been hearing about. It wasn't growling or bearing teeth at anyone but she could tell its hackles were up.

Pinned to the wall was… Captain Aizen?

What?

How could he be both alive and dead? Was one of them an impostor? Aizen wouldn't have lost, but if fox face and the imposter were working together...

She didn't want to think. Her captain wouldn't have gone down quietly. He wouldn't have sided with Captain Ichimaru either. But who was real? What was happening? She couldn't sense Aizen's reiatsu. But he couldn't be dead. He was too strong for that.

Aizen, alive and clean. Aizen, dead on a wall and covered in blood. Gin, unsmiling and staring at the wolf.

She couldn't think.

She screamed.

"SNAP, TOBIUME!" Roared Hinamori as she lunged at the group.

Mist began to form.

The room exploded. The force of the blast shattered all the windows.

Hinamori could feel something pick her up but she didn't respond.

She was confused. She saw her captain dead. But he was also alive. He couldn't have died even if he was ambushed by Ichimaru and the impostor. He was too strong. But she didn't feel his reiatsu either. He wouldn't have been so cruel as to trap a wolf.

Her thoughts continue to run through her mind. What ever had given her the energy to attack them had left her body and she couldn't move.

The wolf was carrying her. But she didn't know where.

The world grew dark.

Hinamori woke up in the 4th division. She was alone in the small room. The only other things inside besides herself were two pieces of paper an envelope, and a small bento box with a carving of a flaming sun on it. She picked up the one labeled read first. She didn't recognize the writing.

- There is trouble. You're squad will need you. You're friends will need you. Please keep calm. Think carefully about what you have seen and what you are about to see. You are safe. Nothing can come in, nothing can go out. Please stay until the the barrier weakens. Keep your strength and you're head up. That way, you can see with clear eyes.-

The second piece of paper was a detailed drawing of the room she was just in. Only this time it was the top view and the man on the wall wasn't captain Aisen, but some random Shinigami.

Hinamori balled up the drawing and threw it across the room. Her captain would never murder someone like that!

Then she picked up the envelope. Upon reading the contents she became even more confused and angry. The letter said that Toshiro was the one that killed Aizen. But that can't be right because Aizen was alive when she saw them.

She screamed once more in rage and confusion.

Something was terribly wrong. She needed more information. She had to find out what was really happening. He beloved Captain Aizen might have been replaced by an imposter!

She struggled to break out. The barriers weren't giving. She was stuck here for the time being. Momo got up and picked up the bento box as well as the picture. The box contained some mochi and a small cup of tea. She promptly devoured it. The events she had gone through had left her drained.

She mind was still racing. She supposed that since she was stuck here she may as well use the time to think.

Isane gave a sigh of relief when the barrier held.

She nearly jumped out of her skin when she found Lieutenant Hinamori just outside the division with a note saying that she was having violently hysterical fits of paranoia. The note also instructed her to have Hinamori sealed and to put these objects in the room with her.

At first she didn't believe it but when the building shook with the girls rage, she was glad she had followed the instructions.
She couldn't imagine the level of chaos if she were to escape.

Amaterasu made her way back to the top of Soukyoku Hill just in time to see Soi Fon attempt to crush someone's throat.

Amaterasu shot past the other captains and grabbed on of her braids in an attempt to pull her back. Soi Fon smashed the sheath of her zanpakuto into her snout.

The wolf gave the braid another sharp tug when both of them were sent flying off the cliff by a masked figure.

-Took you long enough. Your timing couldn't be better-

Amaterasu saw the figure smirk slightly.

Soi Fon on the other hand had become like a cat from hell. She screamed obscenities at the wolf who was still clinging to her braid and at the woman that had just stopped her from doing her duty.

"You're still as short tempered as ever aren't you Shaolin" Said the figure.

For the third time in her life, Soi Fon was shaken to her very core. The voice belonged to the one who had left her a century ago and whose shoulder she had cried on a week ago. Right? But the voice didn't come from the wolf on her braid, it came from the person who punched her off the cliff. "L-lady Yoruichi? B-But your- How?" She was interrupted when the three of them slammed onto a tree branch. Shock and confusion dulling her normally sharp reflexes.

Amaterasu grunted and whined slightly when she found herself get pinned between two people on top of her, and the branch underneath. She was slightly worried that Soi Fon would start attacking them both again. That was certainly a plausible reaction. She gripped the braid closer to her head.

Soi Fon wasn't sure what to feel. The wolf she had thought was her idol had turned out to be a completely unrelated creature. SHE, Captain of squad two and Commander of the onmitsukido, had once again been caught unaware. When Yoruichi got off of her and took off the mask be began to do the same but winced when the wolf pulled her hair.

"….. Wolf. I'm not going to attack you" she said in a toneless voice.

The wolf kept holding on.

"I'm not going to attack, period." she continued.

Amaterasu sighed and let the woman up. It seemed that the pent up rage and hurt that had fueled her assault earlier was not present, having been releases a week earlier.

A heavy silence settled over the trio.

Amaterasu barked. -You should speak Yoruichi.-

Soi Fon looked between Yoruichi and Amaterasu then to no one in particular.

"I see you've met Ammy." Began Yoruichi. "It looks like you two get along. Thats good."

Soi Fon remained motionless.

Amaterasu barked again, louder and deeper this time. -You owe her an explanation.-

Yoruichi shifted uncomfortably. "I owe you an apology Soi Fon. I shouldn't have left with out a word. I-"

"Was this a joke?" Soi Fon interrupted. "Did you send me a wolf thinking it would make up for you disappearing?!"

"What?! No! I-"

Soi Fon glared at the wolf. "AND YOU! When were you going to tell me this?! WHY DIDNT YOU SAY ANYTHING!?"

Amaterasu simply looked at her again with a gentle, yet solemn gaze.

-I have been trying since the very beginning. You could not hear me and I am sorry for it. I never meant to lie.-

Soi Fon sank to her knees. The sense of betrayal returning." Tell me everything." She said as tears began to fall again. "Everything"

Amaterasu looked at Yoruichi again before going over to the captain and comforting her.

Yourichi gently wrapped her arms around her former student for a few moments before telling the story of a conspiracy that started one hundred years ago. She watched as her protege's eyes widened when she told her about the hollow experiments as well as the extreme training methods used on the boy who had stopped the execution.

For a few moments, nobody spoke. Then Soi Fon punched her mentor in the stomach as hard as she could.

Yoruichi staggered back a few steps before straightening herself up. "Ok I deserved that. Good punch though, You've gotten much stronger."

Soi Fon's angry tears slowly changed to contentment with the remaining tension from one hundred years gone at last. "Thank you Lady Yoruichi. "

Amaterasu relaxed when she saw the two women start chattering like birds. She heard a commotion in the distance and jerked her head. It seems the girl had broken from her room. She abruptly stood up and ran up what was left of the cliff to the scene.

Hinamori was blasting at everything she saw.

When the barrier weakened she broke out and returned to the room. What she saw horrified her. One of her fellow officers had been pinned to the wall. A group of squad 4 members had been murmuring about how Aizen had been pinned to the wall. Why did they think Aizen was the one who had been pinned when it was one of the unseated officers? Unless… Unless….

Aizen had murdered the poor boy and released his shikai.

She shouted that it wasn't Aizen that was stuck onto the wall and the healers looked at her like she was crazy.

She ended up getting dragged back to the 4th division with the corpse and no one would believe her. They all looked at her with pity.

Fortunately Captain Unohana believed her, having met the wolf and seeing the effects from the Bone Amaterasu had given her and drinking some of the broth she cooked from it. She too had seen the corpse for what it was.

She had been lied to. She had been betrayed by the person she had admired most. She wanted an explanation that wasn't a lie and she had been denied that.

She had heard Aizen talk about his horrible plans for who knows how long and she had seen the shock when he realized that she had been listening.

She had always had eyes for Aizen. That didn't change even as she was reeling from the truth. "Aizen-sama? Was it all a lie?"

She didn't see when Ichimaru had released his Zanpakuto and she almost didn't feel his blade going through her.

The cat goddess was not happy.

Walls and barriers were her domain and she was not about to share her role with mere mortal.

She didn't strike when the illusion was set up.

She didn't strike when the child was stabbed.

She didn't strike when when they bound her goddess.

She carefully watched the man extract the Yami fragment from the shinigami girl. When the time comes, they will know.

For She has almost recovered.

As the Garganta opened the sky grew dark.

When a beam of light came down, the stars shined.

When the trio neared the hole in the sky, it struck.

"-Rats! I missed!-"

She had meant to claw at the Yami fragment and release it from his grasp.

The mortal seems to have anticipated that and kept a good grip on it and she only managed to take off a piece.

Kabegami hit the ground with a thud and watched as the disappeared and the sky lighten again.

She sighed and dusted off her clothes. A quick check indicated that her hair was still in place. Thats good, Her conduit, would've thrown a fit if it was too out of place.

She turned around the the shinigami staring at her. "-What are you looking at?-"

Nobody answered.

"-Have none of you seen a Yi Ji? No? A geisha then? Hn. Interesting-"

Authors note- Woohoo. Who wants to know how Hueco Mundo handles Ammy? Heh. You'll find out. I'm having way too much fun with this.

Ammy gave Hinamori some of Yumigami's mochi, hence why kyoka suigetsu didn't work on her when she went back to check the body (No, the effects are not permanent because Yumigami likes making things other them Mochi with her mallet.) I felt that breaking Hinamori with her oldest friend stabbing her was too cruel for both of them. Even if she was kind of weak and clingy.

Unohana has discovered some useful properties of holy bones, which is why she believed Hinamori. I'd like to think that in the manga when Unohana notices something is amiss, its because Aizen murdered some other guy and since he doesn't know what his own internal organs look like, he wasn't able to disguise is completely.

艺妓 (Yi Ji) and geisha are more or less the same thing, only one is in china and the other in japan. They are high class entertainers/ performing artists that sell their skills. THEY ARE NOT PROSTITUTES. They put most actors to shame with their dedication. I could go more into detail, but it's not really necessary.

I really hope I did Hinamori and Soi Fon justice here. I really like Soi Fon and I don't remember what Hinamori was like very well.

I'm going to make a slight change in Okami cannon here and there and expand the brush god's range of abilities. The biggest example will be Kabegami.

Reviews are much appreciated~!
