The last chapter from the past... I haven't really talked about the girl's Zanpakutōs, but that'll be mentioned soon!
Enjoy!

"Are you sure this is the right place, Kiki?" Katsumi whispered as she followed her twin sister through the forest. "Yup, positive. That prodigy, Gin Ichimaru, has been prowling around out here. He is also in close relations to Aizen, so I have a feeling… Shhhh get down!" Tsukiko hissed as she pulled Katsumi beside her by a tree. "What's going…"
"Shhh. They'll hear you." She barked quietly. Katsumi froze in fear when she heard footsteps coming up behind them. The two girl's hearts raced as the smell of blood appeared, "Ah Gin, would you like to work with me as a 3rd seat of the 5th Division?" Aizen smiled. "No, 3rd seat is worthless."
"Well no one said you had to stay there for long. It's only a matter of time that you will be a captain." Aizen replied. "Is that Aizen?" Tsukiko asked telepathically to her sister. Katsumi nodded before hearing a snap from the tree above them. The girls froze in fear as the tree above them fell and they sunk into the ground below them to avoid the fallen tree. They shook off the dirt on their clothes knowing it was useless to hide any longer, "Well what is this? Gin, how long did you know they were here?" Aizen asked as Gin walked towards them. "For a while now."
"We know who you really are Aizen! You won't get away with this! You are plotting something evil and twisted and we are going to stop you." Tsukiko threatened. "Pesky little princesses, you should learn your place." Katsumi froze for a second as Aizen went to grab his sword. Katsumi grabbed her sister and merged with the shadows below them and vanished. "What are you planning to do with them?" Gin asked. "They'll make perfect specimens." Aizen smirked.
"ARE YOU CRAZY? YOU DON'T JUST TREATEN A BAD GUY LIKE THAT!" Katsumi chastised as she paced around her room. "It's not like it's not true! We will get them!" Tsukiko pouted. "Never mind that, why did we run?! We could have taken out a stupid lieutenant!" Tsukiko hissed. "Not that guy! He is not an average lieutenant. There is an odd aura around him. We were lucky to get away this time. Next time we might not get so lucky!"
"Fine! I'm going to going to check on our little brother then I'm heading to bed." Tsukiko pouted as she swiftly turned on her heels and exited her sister's room. Katsumi lied in bed and sighed.
"Shinji! Shinji! Will you listen to me?" Katsumi shouted as Shinji walked away quickly. "I can't. Can it wait? Captain Yamamoto is calling a captain's meeting." Shinji frowned. "No, it can't! This is important!" She screamed as Shinji walked off until he was out of range. "Damn it!" She screamed as she punched the ground splitting it in two. "What's wrong cousin?" Katsumi turned to see a worried Hiyori. "Hiyori…" Katsumi vision blurred. "Hey! Katsumi, why are you crying?" Hiyori asked as she hugged her cousin. "Shinji.. Shinji…" Was all Katsumi could manage to get out. "Did he break up with you? That sly bastard! Wait till I get my hands on him!" Hiyori growled. "NO! He's in danger! Aizen… Aizen… He's bad! He will hurt somebody! I know it!" Katsumi screamed. Hiyori froze in shock. "Why haven't you told Shinji?" Hiyori asked. "He wouldn't listen to me…" Katsumi sobbed.
"What? What do you mean you are investigating? You can't! I absolutely forbid it!" Katsumi ordered. "I have to Captain Yamamoto's orders." Shinji replied calmly as he brushed his girlfriend's hair back. "I don't care if the Royal King told you to! Don't do it!"
"Are you that worried about me?" Shinji teased. "I'm serious Shinji! Aizen, he… He's up to no good. I don't know what, but he and Gin are working together on something bad. You are going to get hurt!" Katsumi explained. "How do you know they are up to no good?" Shinji asked. Katsumi bit her lip, "You spied on him, didn't you?" Shinji guessed. "I'm sorry…" Katsumi apologized as she looked away. "What if you got hurt?" Shinji snapped. "Yea? Like you will if you go out there?!" Silence. "He's my problem. If he is up to something I need to put an end to it." Shinji replied seriously. He kissed Katsumi's cheek then he left with his group. "NO! Shinji! Damn it!" Katsumi screamed as she stomped her foot angrily.
"Urahara!" She thought as she ran to the 12th division. "Kisuke! Kisuke… Where are you going with Tessai?" Katsumi asked as she approached the two men. "We are going to go help our friends." Urahara smiled. "Oh thank goodness. I'll come too."
"No. Stay in your palace tonight. You will be safer there." Tessai replied. "What? Why?" Katsumi whined. Urahara placed a hand on Katsumi's shoulder, "I'll bring Shinji back in one piece, I promise. You just sleep." Urahara vowed. Katsumi reluctantly nodded before she left back to the palace.
A scream woke Tsukiko before she could hear the fire. "What's going on?" Tsukiko panicked as she ran out of her room. "Please, evacuate out of our portal in the basement my people!" Tsukiko's mom shouted holding her son, Tashiro, in her arms. Tsukiko pushed through the crowd to her sister's room and kicked the door open, "Katsumi?"
"Tsukiko! Oh, you are okay! I was so worried." Katsumi hugged her sister tightly. "What's going on?" Tsukiko asked. "Aizen… I know it's his doing." Katsumi hissed. "Come on we need to leave the palace. We need to tell gramps to stop the attack."
"What? Gramps is behind this?" Tsukiko froze. "Yes, now come on!" Katsumi replied grabbing her sister's hand. "Katsy!" The girls turned and saw their mother holding her bleeding stomach. "No… mom!" They ran to their mother. "Who did this?" Tsukiko asked hastily. "It's too late for us… They killed your father and brother… You need to escape before they get you too…" Their mother whispered as a tear slid down her face. They watched their mom die in their arms before laying her down and getting up. "Gin…" Katsumi whispered as she pulled her sister behind her. "Nice to see you again girls." He grinned. "Let's go sis!" Katsumi yanked her sister and they ran down the stairs. "Watch out Katsy!" Tsukiko pushed her sister out of range of Kaname Tōsen's attack.
Tsukiko screamed in pain as she held her face, "Kiki!" Katsumi rushed to her sister's side. "I can't see! It hurts!" She screamed as blood ran down her arms. "Come on sis… Just follow my voice!" Katsumi calmly spoke as she helped her sister to her feet. "We can just forget about gramps. We need to escape." They reached the basement when Tsukiko pushed Katsumi backwards, "What's wrong?"
"Stay back! Aizen… I can feel is spiritual pressure close by." Tsukiko whispered as she tried to figure out where he was. "Katsumi behind you move!" Tsukiko shouted. "Too late!" Aizen appeared and slashed Katsumi from behind. She fell to her knees in pain before she screamed as white appeared out of her face, "What is happening to me?" Her voice was distorted. "Sister…" Tsukiko whispered as she looked around blindly trying to find her sister. "Tsukiko run! I can't control myself!" Katsumi screamed before her hollowfication completely took over. "Katsumi, what happened? Where are you?" Tsukiko shouted in fear as the hollow Katsumi roared. "Sister! Sister, please! Where are you?" Tsukiko screamed not realizing the hollow Katsumi was in front of her and before she knew it hollow Katsumi slashed at Tsukiko.
"I could have sworn I heard the Princess's voice down here." Butler Kai muttered as Butler Len and he ran down to the basement seeing the horrific scene. "Princess!" They shouted running towards them both. A hollow mask covered the girl's faces, "What do we do?" Len asked. "Take them and follow me!" Yoruichi shouted as she jumped down the stairs. "Lady Yoruichi!"
"Hurry we don't have time! There is a hideout that I need to take you to or these girls will die! I have a friend who can help them, now come on!" Yoruichi instructed and the five escaped.
"Princess Katsumi and Tsukiko!" Tessai muttered. "Urahara, they will also need your help." Yoruichi frowned. "Let's go then." Urahara sighed as the twelve of them escaped to the human world.
