Sara's POV

I came closer to the screen. The image of my old Taicho appeared from a hundred years ago.

"Urahara-Taicho?" I called, but he didn't reply. It was only a tape of some sort…

"Sara, if you see this; I'm already gone and Yoruichi came back to show you our hide-out" He started. He scratched the back of his head and looked away from the camera. "I don't know how long it's been before you see this, but…" He looked back to the camera. "Sara, I'm sorry, I left you behind, I cared about you, but I'm sure this is the best way for you to be happy"

He paused and touched the chain he was wearing around his neck. I tried to distinguish the pendant he was holding between his fingers, but he put it back in his uniform.

"About what I wanted to tell you earlier; I'm sure we will see each other again and have that discussion"

I fell on my knees as tears reached my eyes. He continued:

"And for the other day, I am, truly, honestly sorry, I never wanted to take advantage of you and I only wish if we would have done it; it would had have been different than a drunken one night stand" he said as he rubbed his face. "I was so careful for the ten years you were at my side…" He sighed and came a bit closer to the camera. "I would prefer to have this discussion face to face, but sadly, I need to leave"

Indeed Yoruichi's voice called him from the video.

"Anyhow, stay away from Aizen, that is my last order to you, I don't want you to be caught in his web" He finished on a serious almost angry tone. My heart sank and I looked down. So he was innocent. I don't have any more excuses to hide his identity secret to Yoruko. But something came clear in my heart. I was determined to find him again.

Meanwhile on earth…

Kisuke POV

I was sitting infront of my date in a fancy Italian restaurant. With a few glass of wine; Sakura managed to make me laugh. But something wasn't normal with this chick. I'd always force myself to look the less attractive possible, but this one came forward anyway. Even now, I wasn't all dress-up. I was wearing the usual hat and the usual clothing.

"So, Urahara Kisuke" She said as she put her hands on the table. "Since when do you hold your shop? I have the impression you've been there since forever."

I smiled remembering why I was there in the first place. It used to be an abandoned house when we found it.

"It feels like a hundred years" I answered honestly.

"Did you ever have someone in your life?" She asked surprised. "I never saw a woman come around the shop"

My thoughts went to Sara once more. I tried to get a hold of the image of her face, but it flew away.

"I'm sorry, I didn't want to remind you some painful memories" she apologized angry at herself.

"Don't worry, it was a long time ago" I said as I forced a smile. "Anyhow, tell me more about yourself"

"Well I-"

She started the tale of her life and I, kind of, listened to her. Sara's ghost was still hunting me. Come to think of it, we never had this date. I asked her once and I almost got killed in the way. And she was wearing the most beautiful dress… I blinked and I was infront of the flower shop. Time flew and I haven't noticed that I pay the bill and all.

"I had a good time" Said Sakura as my eyes fell on her. She had an adorable shy blush as she looked into my eyes. I smiled back.

"I did too" I said with a soft voice. She looked down and slowly took her keys.

"Well, I guess this is good night" She whispered.

"I guess so" I replied as I rubbed the back of my head. She took a deep breath and looked at me straight in the eyes before getting on the tip of her toes and kissed me. Her eyes were closed but mine were wide open. I lost foot and kissed her back ferocily as I wrapped her waist with my arms. I remember this taste. A taste I have forgotten for so long. Sara's taste. It made me go mad. But I didn't see her smirk as she pulled me inside. But when she tried to pull off my coat, I backed off. I shook my head.

"Something's wrong?" She asked a bit worried.

"This can't happen now" I replied. "I'm sorry I need to go."

I didn't let her reply that I was already gone. Something in my gut was screaming to me to get out of there. Not only that, but Sara's crying face appeared perfectly clear in my head. I wasn't ready for something new, no, I couldn't live without her. It was Sara or nothing. I sealed my decision. I let myself fall in my bed and took the ring between my fingers. I was holding it since the day I left the soul society. No one was worthy of this ring except her. And if she refuses it, I will put it away forever.

"He refused you!?" Said a voice in the shadow. Sakura sighed.

"I can feel that he has another woman in his heart, I need to make him forget all about her"

"But you do have those pictures I asked, right?" Insisted the voice. Sakura got on guard.

"Yeah, I do, but-"

"Not buts, Lord Aizen will help us if we do him this one favor" cut the mysterious character. Sakura hesitated again before handing him over the pictures.

"He is still a good man at heart" she said. "I don't understand why Aizen wants to use him like this"

"Shinigamis are our enemy, have you forgotten what they did to us!?" Screamed the dark figure. "If you dare betray us; I will eliminate you"

Sakura slowly nodded and apologized.

"Fine, have it your way" she concluded as she turned away. "I'm going to bed.

Sara's POV

It was the day of the execution. For three days, I trained with my son as Yoruichi trained Ichigo. Abarai Renji joined us and trained on his own.

I fought Ichigo once, and I must say, Urahara did a good job training him in only ten days. But I had ten years of experience. I caught his arm and forced him to plant his sword in the ground.

"You have a good swing kid, have you beaten Urahara once?" I asked as he struggled to pull his sword out.

"I can't say I've beaten him, but I blew off his hat" He answered. He finally pulled out his sword but I put my sword back in its sheath. I untied my hair and whipped my forehead.

"Hat?" I repeated. Ichigo sighed seeing that I wasn't going to fight him anymore.

"Yeah, Kisuke have the ugliest white stripped green bucket hat" Said Yoruichi who just pop out from behind me.

"And have you ever beaten him?" Asked Ichigo back. I had a smirk.

"I put him on his knees once" I said honestly. His eyes widen, completely amazed. "I caught him by surprise though and it worked only once"

Yoruko and Renji, who gathered around us, both of their jaws fell. I chuckled. I knew that Yoruko couldn't believe that I put his hero on his knees.

"He disarmed me and grabbed my wrist" I explained. "I block his hand on my wrist, pulled him forward; and when he tried to get up, I put a tension in his wrist and arm. That's how I forced him on his knees"

"Why didn't he fought back?" Asked Yoruko very interested.

"It was that or I break his arm" I replied with a smirk. "Sadly we didn't bet on that fight, he would've done my paper work for a month"

I sighed and sited. I just felt Renji spiritual pressure fade away against Byakuya. I brought my hands together and prayed. We were up against very tough enemies and our allies were against us. I looked at my sword on the ground beside of me. I reached Bankai thirty years ago, but I never practiced it on someone. I felt strong arms fall on my shoulders and pull me into a hug.

"This is the big day, isn't it?" Yoruko asked in my ear. I nodded and turned around to face him. I took his face between my hands and became very serious.

"I'll say this once, so open your ears" I started. He nodded and touched my hands. "Don't lose; ever" I ordered. "We are in bigger trouble than you think"

He questioned me with his eyes.

"If we screw this up; we have two choices. One: leave the soul society forever or, two: be sent to the maggots nest"

His eyes widen and I turned away as I got up to see Yoruichi with a still alive Renji.

Later..

I was waiting for Yoruichi's signal to go meet Kyouraku. Ichigo had already left to save Rukia. I closed my eyes and tried to spot Aizen's spiritual pressure. I sighed, I knew it was hopeless. If he was playing dead, he needed to hide every evidence of him still living. But I did caught Gin's and Hinamori's. Wait. Where was he bringing her? I felt deep inside my gut that something bad will happen to her. But we had a plan… I clasped my joints and sweared under my breath. Screw the plan! I needed to save Hinamori. I took a deep breath and looked at my son behind me. He was preparing for battle mentally. I hesitated, but Hinamori will die if I do nothing. I turned around and flash stepped out of there. It took two steps to arrive where Gin was bringing her. It was in the most sacred place in the whole soul society and the most off limits; the serenity tower. Scoff. Aizen really thought about this, hiding here was the best plan. I heard voices and came closer silently and hid under the stairs. I tried my best to keep my spiritual pressure low so they couldn't detect me and listened.

"Yes…" Started Gin's voice. "See, look behind you"

There was a moment of silence until Momo finally spoke up a name.

"Aizen…Taicho?" My heart stopped. What did he want with her? Obviously, Hinamori didn't know that he was still alive by her tone.

"It's been a while Hinamori" Replied Aizen on a kind tone. I clasped my fists together. That damn Aizen! He was deceiving his own Fukutaicho. Momo-Chan is the gentlest person I knew. He was hitting low. I got distracted because of my moment of Aizen bitching and I heard him thank her.

"Thank you Hinamori, from the bottom of my heart, thank you…" He said. He paused for a second and my heart skipped a beat. I got out form my hiding place, sword in hand but too late; he pierced her chest. I looked at the scene horrified. I couldn't believe it: Aizen killed Hinamori. Tears came up my eyes. Now I knew he was the real culprit behind it all.

"Who do we have here?" Said Aizen, bringing me back to reality. "Isn't it my dear Tsukiyumi-san?" He walked towards me but I walked past him and kneeled beside of Momo. I wasn't very good with healing, but I could give it a try.

"Oh? You aren't here to follow me but to save your co-worker?" I heard him say. "It's useless; she's out of your reach." He grabbed my arm and pulled me up. That's when I realized in what trouble I put myself in. I tried to fight back, but all my senses were drowned. I felt suddenly very weak and saw a needle coming out from the arm Aizen was holding. I opened my mouth, but not a word could come out. Gin took my sword and covered Hinamori's blood on it. Aizen had a smirk.

"You… know… that I" I panted. It was costing my every ounce of energy to speak. "That I'll never… never give in to you"

"Because you still love Urahara Kisuke?" Guessed Aizen with a chuckle. "I'm sorry Tsukiyumi-san, but Urahara have already passed on" I questioned him with my eyes and he took out something from his pocket. My eyes filled with tears once more as I saw my old captain kissing another woman. His hand strokes my cheek as he put his eyes in mine.

"I just want to help you to pass on as well" He said. "I want to ease your pain, and for that, you'll need to let me in" He put his fingers on my lips and I bit him.

"Consider it Sara, I never hurt you" He said before pulling me out of the tower.

Once we set foot outside, Hitsugaya arrived out of breath. He seemed very shock to see Aizen.

"Ichimaru with.. Aizen?" He wondered completely amazed. "Is it really you Aizen?"

"It is me, Hitsugaya, sorry, I faked to be dead to capture the real culprit" He said. Hitsugaya stood silent, waiting for what he meant. Aizen's smirk grew as he threw me infront of him. I nearly went down the stairs and I forced myself on my elbows to see what was happening.

"Tsukiyumi Sara murdered my Fukutaicho" Aizen dropped heavily. My eyes widen so as Hitsugaya's. He flash stepped inside the tower to see his friend's body with his own eyes. He looked at me, furious. My blood froze and I fell. I couldn't move, I needed to concentrate to breath.

"What's wrong with her?" the captain to the tenth division asked. I managed to make eye contact with him. I begged for his help and he got on guard.

"I drugged her" Lied Aizen. "She's gone completely mad"

"Tell me, since when do you both work together?"

Aizen smirked and shook his head.

"You are not easy to fool, am I right?"

Gin nodded and he dropped my sword on the ground.

"My, we've been discovered, what shall we do Taicho?" Gin asked with his usual goofy voice.

"Why did you murdered Hinamori!?" Screamed Toshiro out of himself. "She admired you!"

"Because admiration is the furthest feeling from acceptation" He simply answered as he bent down to take me in his arms.

"And why take Tsukiyumi!?" Toshiro asked as he reached for his sword.

"Because hatred is the closest feeling to acceptation"

My eyes widen and Hitsugaya couldn't hold himself anymore.

"Bankai! Daiguren Hyorinmaru!"

I only could see his dragon forming around him, but I was too weak to keep conscience. His spiritual pressure overpowered me and I black-out.

A/N : yeah, it's shorter, but I don't want to write every passage from the manga, so I'll jump a part. Please review!
