The suspense is killer. Time to see what happens. I do not own Bleach, characters or locations.
~Karakura high school~
Aizen stood in front of the group of shinigami. All of them were in Gigais and many of them had limiters on them. The only ones that didn't have either were Karin, Yuzu, Ayame, and Rini, because they were still human.
"He's not as scary as I thought he would be. He's creepy as hell though." Rini shivered at the thought of what he had done.
"Watch it!" Renji grabbed Rini as Hitsugaya, Hisagi, and Kira grabbed the other non shinigamis as Hollows attacked where they were standing.
"Awazaki-san. Did you sense them?" Urahara knew Ayame wouldn't have missed them. Unless they had learned how to breakthrough before she could sense them.
"There were too many in one area. The field around felt normal, but normal was with a high Hollow concentration." Ayame was mad that the Hollows had managed to sneak up on them.
"I'm not here to kill any of you. Just to talk." Aizen knew they were outnumbered. His forces far outmatched the little group in front of him, even if they ewe all low level Hollows.
"Then start talking." The three missing Taichous showed up in their shinigami forms. "I'd love to hear you explain your plan. I'm quite tired of have to rely on information from anything but the source." Kensei remembered the last time he got information from a secondary source. He thought it was going to be his last.
"Now that the party is complete. Why don't you just hand over Abarai-san?" Everyone looked at Renji. Renji had no clue what was going on, he was as lost as anyone else.
"What do you want with Abarai-Fukutaichou?" Kisuke didn't see what use the red head could be to Aizen. It just didn't add up.
"No. Not Abarai-Fukutaichou. I want his sister." Aizen was going to have fun causing distrust in the little group. 'I'm going to enjoy this.'
"Renji doesn't have a sister." Rukia had never heard her long time friend ever speak of having any family. All she knew was everything after she met him when they were both about 8 years old.
"I don't have one. Not anymore at least." Renji really didn't like to remember what happened to his sister. She had been taken away by shinigami when they were both about 7. He didn't want to be a shinigami after that, but he knew it was her dream to be one. So he decided he would eventually become one.
"You believe what you were told about her?" Aizen wanted to push buttons before he let the cat out of the bag. Watching their confused faces and the torment on Renji's face was priceless.
"I wasn't told anything!" Renji didn't want to discuss his dead sister. "I only know what I saw." He especially didn't want to discus it with Aizen.
"So you don't know what happened to her." Aizen was having fun playing with the hothead. "I do, because I was the one who ordered my subordinates to arrest her. Under orders from Yamamoto-Soutaichou of course."
"Why would he have ordered the arrest of a child?!" Renji was starting to lose his temper.
Aizen was surprised by his reaction. 'His sister must be a touchy subject.' He could use that quite nicely. "Well. Anyone who could manipulate Hollows would definitely attract attention."
Renji was speechless. 'How did he know that?' Only Renji's mother and himself had known about what his sister could do.
"Abarai-Fukutaichou. What is he talking about?" Urahara couldn't help his curiosity. He had never heard of a soul being able to manipulate Hollows.
"Why are you asking him?" Aizen couldn't help himself any longer. "Why don't you ask his twin instead. After all," Aizen shunpoed past them. He grabbed the person he had his eyes on the whole time while he passed by. "She's right here." He had Rini in his arms. He had one arm holding her hands behind her back and another on her throat.
"Rini-chan? What is he talking about?" Ayame was confused. 'Ive known Rini since we were able to walk. How could she have a twin and me not know about it?' Ayame stared at her friend trying to stay calm and not lose control of her powers.
"You must have lost your mind while in prison Aizen. She's a human. Her first time in Soul Society was three weeks ago." Urahara was trying to make the pieces fit together. Only one piece didn't fit. "How can you be so sure?" Urahara eyed the brunette in Aizen's grip.
"That's because I know what happened to her. Did you know? The Sokyoku is actually someone's zanpakutou. It's a special one that always shows up time and time again. Just like Souls it loses it's memories of its previous master when a new one claims it. But it only shows up once every century. And every century, when the Sokyoku hill get 'purified' it's when the new Sokyoku appears.
"Your sister was the carrier of the Sokyoku for this century past, but she was different then the other carriers. She possessed two additional zanpakutou spirits. So before she could summon her zanpakutous and cause the Sokyoku to disappear, Souls Society intervened.
"The Central 46 had already dictated that keeping others from knowing the secret of the Sokyoku was important. So every time it was time to renew the power of the Sokyoku, different squads were in charge of finding the carrier.
"Finding them was easy. They all had the unique ability to control Hollows by singing. Depending on the song the Hollow would kill itself, return to Hueco Mondo, or anything else the singer wished. Interesting, don't you think? A Hollow Siren."
Aizen was taking his time telling the story. The group was surrounded by Hollows and the girl in his arms was too busy listening to struggle. He continued, enjoying the attention. "None of the other carriers had more than one zanpakutou spirit with them. Most didn't even have enough Reiatsu to speak with the Sokyoku. But this carrier did something no unexpected. She knew exactly what to do, while all the others did not know what they were doing. They were just doing what they were told. Not knowing that they were bringing about their own deaths."
"How do you know this?" Urahara had never heard about any of this. Nor had he found anything close to this in any of the books in the library.
"I'm sure you remember. I could move about however I pleased when I was a part of the Gotei 13. It was easy enough to get in during the ceremony. When so many small children would release the Sokyoku from their bodies, giving it their life force." Aizen liked the look of horror that crept onto everyone's face.
"How could they do that to children?" Hinamori was appalled by what her former Taichou was saying. She remembered getting the order from the Soutaichou to find a child that was controlling Hollows, but she didn't realize what had happened to the child. Hinamori had met her, she was a sweet child. Momo crouched down feeling like she was going to be sick.
"So my little Fukutaichou still has a weak stomach." Aize's voice had changed to what it had been when he was 5th squad Taichou.
"No. My Fukutaichou has always had a weak stomach." Hirako Shinji was standing outside of the circle of Hollows. "We got your message Kisuke. You could have used more words. 'Help' doesn't exactly fit the situation, but we had to see what would make you send a message like that. Good thing everyone necessary came." Almost all of the shinigami in the Gotei 13 appeared behind Shinji.
"So everyone is here. Good." Aizen's hands glowed. "Now I can unveil the truth" there was a bright flash and a scream. When the light died down Rini was lying on the ground and Aizen held a struggling girl with long red hair. "The true face of Abe Rini, or should I say Abarai Rini." He paused and looked toward a stunned Renji. "You must have been surprised to have met a girl with the exact same name as your sister. Rini isn't that common of a name."
"Ni-chan?" Ayame was almost on the verge of tears. She had seen Rini with different coloured hair before, but her appearance change still shocked her.
Rini couldn't look Ayame in the face. 'I had hoped you would forget me before you saw this face.' She could feel tears building up.
Rini heard a distant voice, 'so you are finally awake master.' Rini smiled. Her other zanpakutous' plan had worked. The Sokyoku acknowledged her as it's master. 'It is true that I am the Sokyoku, but that is not my name. I was created when Kuroshi and Shiroshi combined to keep your soul from being devoured by the power of the Sokyoku. I am-' he was interrupted by Rini silencing him.
'I already know your name, Shinouta.' She had her confidence back. She didn't blame the shinigami for her death, but she had worried that her brother would.
"Onii-Ren? I'm sorry for leaving you." Renji took a step back at Rini's words. Only one person ever called him that.
He smiled like he did when he was a child. "You're late Rin, but I'll forgive you this time. Since I'm the oldest."
Rini hadn't expected Renji to remember the name he had given her all those years ago when they were children. She laughed, "As if! I'm older and you know it." It felt so much like they were children again.
"Why would a child from Soul Society hide among humans?" Aizen was getting tired of their sibling chat.
"You're mistaken Aizen. I am human. I just remember my life before I came here." Rini gave Aizen a cold glare before spiking her Reiatsu. She spiked it high enough that Aizen was forced to let go of her. She made a dash for her body, which had somehow moved far away from them, but the Hollows were closer.
No one noticed Ayame rush forward and pull her friend away from the hoard of Hollows. "Are you crazy? That's like having a death wish." Ayame was hugging her friend tightly. Rini hugged her back.
"Thank you Ayame-chan." She was glad her pink haired friend was still on her side. "Sorry for not telling you about this. I wanted to make sure all of my data was right before I tried to split from my body."
"That's OK. You don't have to worry about that now though, or ever again." Ayame held her friend at arms length smiling like an idiot.
Rini sweat dropped at her friends comment. Rini's body had been torn to pieces by the Hollows. 'Yeah definitely can't go back to that.' She could always count on Ayame to make light of a terrible outcome.
"I wonder how many people will be left standing?" Aizen spoke as a tear opened up behind him. A row of ten Espada stepped out of the Garganta. "Leave her standing." He pointed at Rini. "The rest are useless." Aizen turned and walked through the gate into Hueco Mondo.
"Looks like we have a situation on our hands." Urahara pulled his zanpakutou out of its sheath in his cane. 'This is going to be a hard battle.'
Oh My Gosh. Can't wait to write the next chapter. I will not skip out on details. Other wise I will disappoint myself. Please leave a comment.
