Managing creatures from beyond this world was a great deal harder then it looked. The inside of las Noches had practically become a zoo after the first summoning ritual. The gods flat out refused to obey anyone unless Aizen himself was in the room with them. If he did not supervise him they would start destroying their surroundings like the wild animals they are. However, they were exceedingly obedient and when he ordered them to give him instructions on summoning more manageable gods they did. He then commanded them to leave him be and they disappeared having taken his order to mean, leave him be permanently.

The result was far less taxing on the hogyoku, while no cracks appeared, it was clear that there wasn't enough energy present to awaken it.

It was also much more numerous then the originals. Granted they weren't very intimidating, seeing as they were all very young children, but they will do. He instructed the summons to repair the damaged portion of his fortress and they did so in less than an hour. It was as if they had turned back time itself, a reality shifting power. Unfortunately, since the newer summons were children they began tearing everything up again almost immediately afterwards, only this time high pitched shrieks were added into the mix.

Aizen sighed and ran his hand through is hair for the umpteenth time, Children were too troublesome. They were easily manipulated, providing they were at adolescence. Too young and they wouldn't understand beyond what was in front of them, too old and they become nosy. Where was Gin when you needed him? It would not do for his new lackeys to be without-

CRASH! BOOM!

He groaned internally. This would be the last time he would ever take such a risk. He was lucky his plans hadn't unraveled at the seams. The current delay was a little disconcerting, but there were more ways to achieve his goals. He just had to rework his plans. Gin was clever enough to manage a group of rowdy children with out accidentally releasing them from service. Then again maybe not, its entirely possible for him to join the children in causing chaos.

"GET BACK HERE YOU BITCHCUNTS!" Screamed an angry Nnoitra. "HOW DARE YOU TRIP ME!"

He was never going to summon gods again, they were too much work to command and he couldn't just order them to obey someone else in addition to himself. It was too easy for them to misinterpret that command.

There was another crash followed by children's shrieks and laughter.

Perhaps the original plan of using Kurosaki's friend would have worked out better.

Soifon the elder had taken to wandering about Seireitei. It was abysmally easy once Madoka pilfered a uniform, seeing as the members of the so called stealth force did not know each other well. Granted having their faces covered probably helped. She didn't even need to do that seeing as she could pass herself off as the captain, or several other officers. They were also easily seen and everywhere, which meant that this particular section was probably the decoy. They definitely originated from her empire seeing as the people who were in charge were her descendants.

It seemed her family quirk carried through and she shared her face with several other members of the family. It was a good thing that only their face was the same. If she saw clones of herself running about she would have broke character long ago laughing. She would be summoned sooner or later since she had an idea of what was going to happen in the future.

Then again it was just as likely for Soul Society to put a bounty on her head. Soul reapers were strong and plentiful, but progressive they were not. It was a good thing that her own resources survived and flourished in her absence. Granted they weren't quite as powerful as the shinigami, but they were much more plentiful. Plus, there was a section that specialized in explosives and those were always helpful in times of conflict.

If the visions and dreams that Kabegami gave her during her extended nap were reliable, the living world had changed dramatically while should society had not. There were changes, but they were dealt with in the same fashion they always had. Namely, find who is responsible, eliminate them, and pretend that nothing ever happened.

Only this time it didn't work, the guilty party had planned something in advance resulting in the current crisis.

She noticed her body started to hurt again, her arm especially. Kabegami would have to return to her body soon which meant that she would lose her disguise since the end of her hair would turn white.

There was also the matter regarding the odd creatures that had been flying about possessing her 'coworkers'. One had in fact tried to possess her as well. Kabegami who was rather possessive would not stand for that and destroyed the flower puppet along with any others that attempted to sprout from her midsection.

-Of course I am. Why wouldn't I be?-

Under normal circumstances she would be inclined to take charge of the situation and eradicate the threat.

But these were not normal circumstances. She was not in charge for one. She was also not born in soul society, at least, not as they knew it. She also nothing invested in the current situation, and by nothing she meant her (many) descendants, the Hachidori, and her possible successor.

Ugh. This could be problematic.

This was a disaster. The brat was NOTHING like Yachiru. For one thing, Yachiru never cried over being attacked.

When Soi Fon tried the same with this one she accused her of trying to poison her. She would have normally tried rougher methods like the ones her parents had used on her and her siblings, but her lieutenant had commented that a they still didn't know how a little peasant girl had gotten into their barracks and it would be much more difficult to get information out of her if she was broken or incoherent. She didn't want the girl crying on too many records. Plus, her experience with the president of the shinigami women's association left her very wary of girls smaller then herself.

It was now the middle of the night and Soi Fon was still in her office trying to convince the girl to leave the file cabinet so that she could reorganize everything.

"Please come out of there." She sighed.

"NO!" Came the reply "The scary guy is still outside!"

Soi Fon pinched the bridge of her nose. They had been stuck in this circle for hours with her being unable to convince the girl that the clothing samples were not in fact fake. She wanted to scream and pull out her hair and it must've showed because the crying got louder. It seemed that she really would have to tell the girl about her shikai abilities, something she would rather on do since knowing that someone would kill in two hits would no doubt unsettle the brat more then she was already.

"Girl. Stop crying and listen to me." She commanded. When the sobs became sniffles she continued. "Sting all enemies to death, Suzumebachi."

She then explained to the girl in front the details of her abilities, even stabbing herself through a napkin to show her the homonka then removing the napkin to prove that it was not in fact a physical mark, but merely an indicator that would dissolve when it was no longer needed.

"I could show you what happens after the second strike, but you and I are the only living things here right now." Finished Soi Fon and she braced herself for the fit that would likely follow. "Now get out of the file cabinet and let me finish cleaning! I would like to get some sleep before the sun rises"

"...ok" Said the girl and she slowly climbed out of it.

The captain blinked in surprise before taking out all the smudged papers and setting them aside so she can try and salvage the contents. The girl simply stood next to her and watched her clean for a few moments before making an odd noise. "I don't feel so good." was all she managed to say before ejecting the contents of her stomach onto Soi Fon's shoulder.

Soi Fon groaned internally as the the day's stress finally got to the peasant. She noted that the contents of the girl's stomach were liquid but thicker than water, which meant that she had eaten solid food within the last couple of days. Now that was interesting.

The Captain muttered things that should never be repeated in public while she sat the child down. Then she reached for a box of baking soda that she kept in her desk specifically for when her lieutenant over eats, and poured it over the mess on the floor to remove the smell, then on herself and Nakenashi for the same reason.

"I didn't mean to make a mess" mumbled the girl.

Nakenashi looked as if she was about to start weeping again when a mirror was brought to her face. She looked ridiculous with her splotchy red face, the bits of baking soda sticking to her head, and the occasional snot bubble. In spite of herself she started giggling at her own appearance. Then she looked as the woman in the same room and giggled at her too. There was something incredibly funny about the crouching figure with her serious expression and vomit and white powder on her shoulder, very much like when she first found Yori -nee, or maybe it was the other way around, she couldn't remember. She then noticed that she looked just like the woman who had been looking after her, only smaller and more grumpy.

"You're like Shii -mama. Only smaller." Yawned the girl.

"Am I?" Replied the woman as she swept up the vomit on the floor.

"Yup. She has these squishy things on her chest." Keiko patted her chest for a few moments before leaning back. "I asked her why. But she said I was too young."

Soi Fon gagged at the frank manner the girl spoke. Keiko didn't really notice but continued to babble as sleep started to over take her.

"I asked Yori -nee but she ended up laughing too hard to answer. She promised me a hug."

Soi Fon continued to go through the records in the file cabinet while half listening to Nakenashi. Most of them seemed to be more wrinkled then damaged.

"I like Yori -nee. She's nice and warm and we have lots of fun. We dance together sometimes. She even showed me the secret tunnel."

Soi Fon turned and narrowed her eyes. "A secret tunnel?" She questioned.

"Uh huh. It's a secret" And with that the girl fell asleep before Soi Fon could ask any more questions.

As much as she hated to admit it. Her lieutenant was right. The girl definitely had secrets. Who ever this Yorine person was might know some useful secrets. Things said when the mind was addled by exhaustion were questionable but often had a seed of truth in them.

In the end, Soi Fon had to spend the night in the office. Nakenashi refused to leave the office, saying that there were "other scary people outside" and threw a fit when Soi Fon left the office and locked the door behind her.

During the night Soi Fon learned a few things. The first was that Nakenashi had night mares which would wake her up from the shrieking. The second was that Nakenashi was unable wake herself up from the night mare with out outside assistance. The third was that sitting up with eyes wide open did not mean that she was awake, even if she girl wasn't howling like a stuck pig. The fourth was that Nakenashi punched as hard as one of her unseated officers when woken up.

Author's note- Has anybody else ever had that moment where you realize that what should be simple and quick actually needs a hell of a lot more work then you thought? Thats what I'm going through right now. I misplaced the charger to my laptop which means that my access to writing will be limited, On top of that i have finals coming up.

On second thought, Nah. I like writing a bit too much to let life get in the way. I would appreciate it if someone pointed out any grammatical errors though. I'm still combing through the previous chapters correcting anything i fine and editing in general. Because i always miss something.

Onto the commentary. The Yorine and Yori -nee thing is on purpose. The same goes for Soi Fon and Soifon until i come up with another way to differentiate between the two. They are practically mirror images since the don family has a quirk just like the doumeki line from xxxholic. I didn't misspell it or anything.

I'm not sure if I did Soi Fon justice though. I don't think she's quite cold enough to torture a toddler, but I wouldn't put it past her to actually be tempted to try it. She probably would lose her temper and take it out on keiko if she knew how keiko snuck in. I doubt she would believe the truth which was keiko climbing in through the open window.

Hachidori- humming bird. Or if you want a really literal translation Bee bird. I forgot to post this before much apologies about that.
