~A Change In Life~
***Where there is a will, there is a way***
-Toshiro POV-
I walked into my house, switched on the light and sat down on my sofa. I closed my eyes and relaxed. My thought go back to the meeting this morning.
Flashback
"I see that everyone had gathered. Now let us begin the meeting."
"Now.. Now.. A bird is really giving us a trouble." Kyoraku taicho said while smiling.
"A bird? You mean.." Soi Fon taicho didn't finish her sentence.
"Is it that one?" This time it is Ukitake taicho that asked.
"I guess it is." Instead Kyoraku-taicho, that was Kuchiki taicho that answered it.
"I don't care which one! I want to fight it." Hearing it I shocked. That one was Zaraki taicho that said it. Was he being stupid? How can he fight a bird? The bird itself doesn't know how to fight!
"You idiot. There was no way for you to fight it. It should be experimented." This time is Kurotsuchi taicho that talking. As always, he just thinking about experimenting something.
"What! You want a fight?" Zaraki is angry, may be pissed off because of Kurotsuchi's word.
"Let see who is stronger." Kurotsuchi glaring at him.
Both of them are about to drew out their zanpakuto when Sotaicho shouted.
"Silent!"
"Tch."
"Ck."
Both of them back to their place.
Then Sotaicho continued.
"As you had heard, there was a bird flying to Soul Society with a letter yesterday." His face from calm changed into serious.
"It is from Aizen."
My eyes widened.
'Aizen!'
"It's really him, master." Hyorinmaru said with anger.
Then Komamura-taicho's voice bring me out from my mind.
"What is written in the letter, Sotaicho?"
Sotaicho's eyes opened. It means he is really serious now.
"I will read it for you. Listen carefully.
Dear shinigamis,
I invite all of you to a party of mine one month later at 8 p.m. at the center of Karakura. I do hope for your arrival. There is no limited for the guest. I have surprised for all of you. See you soon.
Aizen.
That is his letter. What do you think?"
"It is absolutely a trap." Soi Fon taicho said. I agreed with her. There isn't possible for Aizen to do such a thing like inviting us to his party.
"We don't need to think about it again. I agree with Soi Fon taicho." Komamura taicho was also agree with Soi Fon taicho.
"Is he challenging us?" This time it was Unohana taicho that speaking. Challenge us? I think he is. If he isn't, then why he invited us? And more important is that he have surprised for us. What is his surprised? It's really confusing.
"We should think about what strategy to use. It is important since our enemy is Aizen." Kuchiki taicho giving suggestion.
"It is a party. Maybe he has sake and nice woman there." Kyoraku taicho said while smiling. I absolutely disagreed with him. How can he still thinking about sake and woman in this situation? Can't he be serious? He really is weird old man. I wondered how can he become a captain with such attitude.
"Fight! Fight that bastard Aizen!" Zaraki taicho just thinking about fighting. Crazy man as always.
"That bastard Aizen! Why didn't he just stop and give up? He is really a troublemaker!" Kurosaki taicho is really pissed. I think I saw his face as red as tomato because of anger. Why not? He really hate him as much as I.
"Maybe we should just cut him into half!" Another Kurosaki taicho said energetic. Too many Kurosakis in Soul Society. This one is Isshin, as weird as Kyoraku taicho. How can both of them are so strong? Think of strong, that Kurosaki Ichigo is also strong. And he is weird too. Stupid and stubborn.
But I just have one thing in my mind right now.
"How could Aizen escaped from his jail?" I asked without looking at them.
-silent-
I really have no idea how could he escaped. Was it meaning that our guard was weak? Or there was his subordinate here? Or he was stronger again? I think the others were also don't know since there wasn't anyone answering my question.
After a while, it is Soi Fon taicho that speaking.
"We still need to investigate this problem."
Then Sotaicho speaking,
"Alright. I need you to be prepared for the invitation. Knowing Aizen as a traitor, his party may be is a war. We should be prepared before next month.
Soi Fon taicho, Komamura taicho, Kyoraku taicho. I want you to investigate how Aizen escaped from his jail. Report to me what have you discovered. Ukitake taicho, I want you to monitoring Karakura town from here. If there is anything that arouse suspicion, report to me immediately. To other taichos, I want you to prepared your divisions shinigamis before the invitation.
Any question?"
-silent-
"Then you may dismiss now." Sotaicho finally said, ending this meeting.
End of Flashback
'I wonder what Aizen is up to now.' I was thinking hard. It was really depressed me.
"We will know it when he show up" Hyorinmaru just simply reply me.
'But it will be too late for us!' how could he remain this calm? Can't he see that the situation is emergency now?
"Then what will you do now? Search him? You know there isn't anything that we could do now. Let's just wait."
'….'
I know he had a point in there. There was nothing I could do. Nothing at all. I felt really useless.
"I bet Hinamori would be really happy to heard he is fine"
'Why should she be happy? He had almost killed her! Why did she love him that much! Am I not enough for her?' My heart is hurt. I closed my eyes. Even it had passed 14 years, but the pain is still there.
"But you say you love-"
'I know Hyorinmaru. I love her from the bottom of my heart. I love Hinamori too. But I love her as my sister. Not my lover.' I cut Hyorinmaru's sentence.
"I know about it. Now, you need to relax. There were thunder and storm here. It's really uncomfortable for me to live in here." He growled
'Ah… Sorry, Hyorinmaru… Then I guess I should go to bed now..' I stood up.
"Don't worry. There will be a way to solve all the problems." He comforted me. I nod and walking to my bedroom.
